Executive Summary The financial and investment industry is turning toward new business concepts. Venture capital, private equity and portfolio planning especially are such concepts that lately showed significant growth potential for the future. Based on electronic investment systems, significant growth rates to persist in the near future can be expected, so that investments in that segment are very profitable. The goal of this start-up is the operation of an investment company that offers several investment opportunities for the customers. Products will be offered to institutional investors and financially strong individuals. In addition to this core business, the company offers a selection of financial consulting services, which will help to increase sales revenues and utilize personnel capacity. 1.1 Business Opportunity The financial and investment industry currently shows a strong growth marked by a higher demand, but also growing costs for electronic systems and employees. The development of new business strategies and solutions seems critical for new industry players to get market shares and survive in this highly competitive industry. The choice of services, as well as the development of a unique investment strategy, can be one element in this field of business. Additionally, a comprehensive cost and risk management is of critical importance for a solid stream of revenues. Big industry players have shown that, even in a competitive market, growth rates of more than 20% can be sustained. The operation of an investment company with an own investment approach that offers: individual stock market portfolios, stock market analysis, stock market investments, real estate investments, derivative investment, and additional services for their customers is the core of this start-up. A strong focus of this business will be placed on the development of new and innovative investment strategies for the customers that deliver a significant value. As an add-on, a broad range of customized services will be offered, which will help utilize company and employee capacity. Another key element of this business will be risk management, which will increase customer satisfaction and optimize profits. The operation of this volatile and risky business requires a good knowledge of the national and international stock markets, as well as a competitive service concept to increase customer satisfaction. The demand to explain the investment strategy is likely to require a high degree of individual customer advice. However, it is critical that this service is offered with a strong focus on cost management. Business Plan For An Investment Company 2 One central goal of the proposed business strategy is the development of a unique corporate identity. Such identity will create customer loyalty and help gain a competitive advantage. Therefore, it is planned that, in addition to the selection of new and interesting services, a company design is developed. The required investment for the proposed business is moderate compared to other companies in the industry. Labor is expected to be the main cost driver, whereas no other substantial investment in fixed assets is required. Depending upon the location, the minimum required investment amount ranges between $150,000 and $160,000 in the start-up phase, based on a 18-20% average revenue margin. This amount is well within the financial requirements observed for other comparable companies. 1.2 Product/Service Description The business will operate in the investment and financial industry with several investment funds and opportunities. An additional source of revenues is the sale of customized investment and financial services. This will range from risk management to portfolio optimization. Cross selling is planned to be one of the prime strategies in this business since all services are targeted to serve a similar need and can easily be combined. Synergy in selling services across business segments is likely to boost earning further. Net earnings are expected to be at least 3% above traditional investment businesses. Figure 1.1 shows the revenue mix across segments in the start-up phase. This projection is based on the expected strategic direction, investment amount and business environment. As the core business, the investment fund segment is expected to generate the largest share in revenues. The sale of investment services is expected to be another important generator of revenues, which also helps utilize invested capacity. The sale of financial consulting is expected to be intensified depending upon market conditions. Business Plan For An Investment Company 3 2. Company Background The goal of this start-up is the operation of an investment and financial planning company with several services. The focus of this business will be on the demand from institutional and private investors which shows the highest profits. Additionally, the sale of investment services and financial consulting is planned to reach an optimal utilization of personnel and company capacity. An initial investment amount of at least $150,000 to $160,000 is required, which will allow the operation of a small business with 6 to 8 employees. Sales revenues are expected to range between $1,500,000 and $1,800,000 in the start-up phase and the operation is expected to generate profits starting in the first or second business year. 2.1 Business Description Management is expected to have a solid knowledge of the stock markets and the offered services to influence the customers. The goal is to create an innovative business in which the customer experiences competent service. A well chosen and targeted selection of offerings will complement this strategy. Both aspects are core requirements to build customer loyalty. Repeat customers are expected to generate revenues of 80% and more. Although this strategy is likely to require additional investments, it is expected that revenues per customer will increase significantly and range above industry average. Furthermore, this strategy will provide a clear entrance barrier for prospective competitors. The development and promotion of a corporate identity is another central task for management. Given the homogeneity of businesses in this industry, the development of a corporate identity will markedly increase sales revenues and build a customer base. Furthermore, a corporate identity will support expanding the business to a larger international target market. 2.2 Company History In the start-up phase, the management is operated as a one-person-business. This set up carries a certain risk potential because of the high equity stake the manager bears and the personal and statutory liability assumed. However, this set-up preserves a high degree of flexibility in managerial decision making. The number of personnel to be employed depends on the structural complexity of the operations and the desired size. Figure 2.1 shows a break up of costs in the industry. It is expected that the target employee earns a monthly salary of $6,500 to $9,000 based on 45 hours per week. The sales and service area requires 1 to 2 employees on average. Due to illness and vacation times, in the long run an average of 8 permanent employees will be required after the start-up phase. With increasing sales and better utilization of employee work time, revenue margins will increase and thus, costs per employee will decrease on average. With revenues ranging around $1,500,000, capacity utilization is expected to be around 85%. Business Plan For An Investment Company 4 During the start-up phase, a single person will attend to all necessary management task, coordinate employees and provide strategic direction to the developing business. Accounting, administrative and machine maintenance will be covered by two employees. Sourcing and marketing will require one employee. Finding the optimal location for a business is one of the success factors in the short and long run. This is also important for international businesses because taxes, employees and additional costs are crucial for all businesses. The following analysis is based on 10 businesses in the financial industry. Since a small company is recruiting its customers typically from the home country and later from a worldwide area, a national location is considered as the core market. For the location with a core market in the selected region, following factors are relevant: The taxes and other administration costs are low. Administrative costs are expected to be comparably small given the expected revenues. The possibility to recruit additional personnel is favorable. Rent is reasonable. Infrastructure is stable. It is easy to find appropriate employees. Because of the favorable growth perspectives in the chosen market and growing investment activities, we expect to realize yearly growth rates in revenues of 15-20% given a 4% economic growth rate. Business Plan For An Investment Company 5 3. Business Plan For An Investment Company One of the key elements of a successful business in the investment industry is a competitive investment approach. The core of the profit maximization strategy is to minimize the administration costs and to increase the investment volume. Sales are based on investment fees with the following structure: annual basic fee -2% to 4% depending on the investment sum performance fee - 20% to 25% depending on the absolute performance individual fee for institutional investors - 10% to 15% The specific investment strategy will be monitored constantly and vary according to the projected performance. This strategy provides a competitive edge against other companies in the environment and is expected to generate an additional demand and the possibility for a price mark-up. The development of an automated investment system is a key element of a successful investment business. To utilize the capacity, external institutional customer can also use this system for their own business. Especially the following points will be covered by the system: risk management increase of revenues portfolio optimization automatic administration of all funds performance measurement The system will be further developed according to the past and current performance. Business Plan For An Investment Company 6 4. Services Additional service offerings related to the core business provide other fields of business. The available competence will be used for further business activities that will generate additional revenues. While this is not a core business segment, this concept has growth potential because the demand for investment services is rising. Initially, the investment in inventory, technical equipment and personnel capacity of this segment is limited. Especially, the supply of complex investment planning with a higher priced range will require extensive service. The following services will be offered to the customers: investment fund strategies portfolio planning financial consulting venture capital investments This strategy will help utilize the capacity in personnel, since it allows for an optimal coordination of employees. All employees will be trained to cover all aspects of individual services for the customer. Therefore, it is necessary to have a high knowledge about the offered services. This concept is adaptive to changes in customer demand. Business Plan For An Investment Company 7 5. The Industry, Competition, and Market A careful analysis of the market and competitive forces in this industry is a key element in assessing the business potential of our project. This analysis will provide marketing and sales data that are indispensable to develop the business potential optimally. The main competitors are comparably-sized medium and large investment companies in the international environment with a similar selection of products and services. Since the planned project is of international scope with a single headquarter, the competitive analysis will have to focus on the international and local market. The market and competition analysis will be based on the entire market. 5.1 Market Definition Figure 5.1 shows average growth figures in revenues of the stock market during the past 10 years. Despite slowing global economic growth, in general and in the most local business in particular, a lot of companies have experienced constant growth rates of more than 15% to 20% since 1999. For 2005, a growth of 14% is expected with a strong development in the third and last quarter. Despite slowing economic growth and decreasing customer demand, the investment industry from private equity to venture capital underwent a relatively favorable development. New and innovative business concepts in the sector still show high growth potentials, while growth rates of traditional businesses in that industry were below average. The significant growth of new business concepts is primarily due to sharp cost control and more efficient business strategies that accounted for higher revenue and earning figures. According to industry estimates, 30% of such innovative businesses gained from cross-selling activities between their business segments. Sinking prices of administration and employment costs have allowed the industry to partially compensate for slowing demand. Savings in input costs were also due to decreased development costs. However, starting in 2006, this trend is expected to reverse and growth rates will pick up markedly, despite the uncertainty in the development of worldwide economic developments. Business Plan For An Investment Company 8 5.2 Primary Competitors The competitive environment is primarily determined by the choice of item groups, but also the regional location. But, regardless of the selection of items, high mark-ups are not feasible in the long run since this will attract competitors who compete away any rents. With a high density of businesses in one location, businesses with the highest marginal cost will be driven out of the market. Such locations will yield a return of 12-14% on average. This is the expected equilibrium return in a saturated market. To further analyze the competitive environment, it is necessary to define the players in that environment. A firm that generates $500,000 to $1,500,000 in revenues and employs 5 to 10 people should regard a firm with revenues and personnel 3 times this figures as a viable competitor. On the service side, businesses with a comparable selection of offers are regarded as competing in the same market segment. Figure 5.4 shows the size of businesses in this market segment, which also includes different products and services that will be sold worldwide. The numbers are based on average revenues of companies that run their business more than five years. 5.3 Customer Profile The specialized way of distribution and offerings are primarily targeting medium and large international investment companies and banks, but also companies from other businesses. A possible segmentation to identify different customer groups is by segmentation of different lines of business. Figure 5.2 shows the demand for investment services from different lines of business. Numbers are based on averages per company of a particular group multiplied by the number of companies in the respective group. This gives total demand share per group. As can be seen, companies in the industry segment, like car manufacturers, have a high demand for investment services. Figure 5.3 shows revenues by yearly revenues of potential customers. The figure shows revenues generated per profit group. Numbers are based on the average profit per customer and the number of customers per profit group. As can be seen, customers in the middle income bracket generate the highest revenue streams. High frequented low income groups, such as small and medium companies, generate relatively low revenue streams because these companies have own investment groups. Business Plan For An Investment Company 9 Business Plan For An Investment Company 10 6. Marketing Plan In the start-up phase, it is a central task of the marketing concept to establish name recognition and a unique trade mark. Later on, the strategy will primarily be targeted to gain new customers and create customer loyalty of repeat customers. Several marketing and sales promotion strategies are available in the financial industry. Figure 6.1 shows different marketing elements and their use in marketing strategies, as well as their estimated potential success factor. The figure can serve as a direction for the planning of a marketing and sales promotion strategy. The numbers are based on typical businesses in the financial industry. As can be seen, printed advertisements target a large potential customer group, but at a relatively high cost. Printed advertisements in international newspapers and financial magazines are regarded as very beneficial in the start-up phase to attract a large group of potential customers and draw attention to the range of articles offered. 49% of businesses in the financial industry use printed advertisements and about 60% of this group regard this as the most beneficial form of marketing. Sales promotion strategies have temporary effects only. They are used at business openings primarily and offer special discounts. 49% of businesses use sales promotion strategies frequently and 81% of the users responded that this instrument is successful. Marketing alliances with other financial businesses to generate cost savings and increase efficiency are used rarely. Such strategies include mutual use of marketing and web promotion events and joint promotion arrangements. Only 45% of businesses have used these elements and 55% of these regard this instrument as beneficial. Web and e-mail marketing is used frequently in the financial industry, although this would be a relatively inexpensive additional effort. Direct mailings are a very efficient strategy that sends mailing to selected customers or institutional investors. Since spreading costs of such mailings are very low, this marketing element provides a useful tool for special offer promotions. The use of marketing and sales promotions proceeds as follows: as a broad base to attract new customers, the strategy will include a combination of printed advertisements and special offers with opening discounts. Furthermore, a group of customers will be selected for direct mailings. This strategy is expected to continue for 3-4 months, after which the effort will turn towards creating customer loyalty for regular customers. This strategy is supplemented by a regular marketing strategy and direct mailings to regular customers. A marketing alliance and online advertisements will also come to use. Business Plan For An Investment Company 11 Business Plan For An Investment Company 12 7. Financial Plan A sound financial plan is the key factor for the success of a business start-up. Investors and banks will base their funding decision on the information given in this plan. Besides a plan of the financial needs, this plan must insure that the business is always liquid and ultimately profitable. Since the sales and earnings projections in the business plan are based on expectations, the financial plan has to be revised and refined on a constant basis so that discrepancies can be uncovered and solved instantly. The inputs for this financial plan are based on 22 businesses of different size and market segments in the investment industry, which serve as a group of comparable firms, as well as own estimates based on the planned business environment. Revenue estimates are conservative and expense projections include a cushion for unforeseen contingencies. The initial capital requirement is estimated to be $150,000 to $160,000. The sales margin is expected to be 15-20%, whereby each business segment contributes differently to sales and earnings. The investment fund segment for customers, of all segments, will have an average contribution to sales in relative terms (16.5%), but given the high sales volume, the largest in absolute terms. Revenues from the development of individual investment portfolios are expected to have a sales margin contribution of 25.5%. The sale of services is expected to generate a 12% to 15% sales margin, while the margin from sales of financial consulting is expected to be closer to about 10%. Figure 7.1 shows the source of revenues by segment during the start-up phase. Depending on the initial investment sum, cost and revenue estimates vary. Figure 7.2 shows the expected relationship of cost and revenues. As can be seen, the relationship is not linear everywhere, but costs decrease relative to sales at an initial investment of $150,000. This effect is due to the better utilization of capacities in personnel at rising revenues at constant cost. If capacity is fully utilized, additional personnel must be recruited. At an investment sum of $400,000, administrative costs are expected to return to a linear relationship of sales. At sales levels between $1,000,000 to $2,000,000, costs increase by the factor 1.85. The cost revenue relationship is important, not only during the start-up phase, but also for planned further expansion. Often such expansion strategies are based on this relationship. Other industries are able to generate cost savings of 30-50% during expansion periods, while for the financial industry, this factor is close to 15%. At a specific size, this relationship reverses because administrative costs rise sharply. This affects small businesses between 10 and 20 employees most severely. The details of the financial plan are laid out in more detail as follows: Section 7.1 gives an investments schedule. This includes all investments necessary during the start-up phase. Section 7.2 gives a break-even analysis that shows revenues at the break-even point. Every additional sales revenue adds to profit and vice versa. Section 7.3 gives a liquidity plan. This plan is based on current cost and revenue estimates Business Plan For An Investment Company from Section 7.2. Liquidity must always be positive. 13 Section 7.4 contains a long-term profit projection for the first 4 years of business. The projection shows the critical amount of revenues at which the business is profitable and how profit develops over time. Section 7.5 provides a risk analysis. The risk analysis contains critical factors that may impact the financial numbers presented in this plan. 7.1 Investment Plan The investment plan comprises primary capital needs for the foundation and operation of an investment company with different services for sale. The plan also includes initial marketing and sales promotion expenses. The figures are based on a business with 3-5 employees and expected revenues of Business Plan For An Investment Company $950,000 in year 2-3. 14 7.2 Break-even Analysis The break-even analysis shows how earnings rise as a function of sales. The break-even point is the point at which revenues from sales cover total costs (fix costs and costs rising with sales). This analysis is important for the development of the liquidity plan. If the break-even point is not achieved, in the long run the business loses liquidity and may become insolvent. This requires that a critical amount of revenues must be generated. At a sale revenue of $600,000 and given fixed costs, the business will generate a profit. Fixed costs are estimated at $420,000 to $430,000 and variable costs at $180,000. At a realizable revenue of $1,000,000, after 2-3 years profits will rise to $170,000 pre-tax. This represents an earnings margin of 17% pre-tax and 11% after-tax. These estimates are realistic in this market segment. Increasing sales volume will increase Business Plan For An Investment Company 15 pre-tax earnings margins, but this development reverses when administrative costs begin to rise sharply. Up to a sales volume of $3,000,000, earnings margins rise to 18.5%, after which the margin decreases to constant 17.5%. Figure 7.3 shows at which critical sales volume the business generates a profit. This serves as a base for a pricing strategy. Additionally, the graph shows the amount of sales at which a marketing campaign can be run profitably. 7.3 Liquidity Plan The liquidity plan shows the amount of finances necessary to assure permanent liquidity of the business. The plan is based on 4 representative months of a typical business with 3 to 5 employees, annual sales of $1,300,000 and net profits of about $300,000. Revenue estimates are drawn from a standard normal distribution. Business Plan For An Investment Company 16 7.4 Earnings Plan The earnings plan shows the results from ordinary operations. The plan is based on the first 4 years of business. Revenue estimates are drawn from a normal distribution with an estimated growth rate of 20 to 30%. Figure 7.4 shows profit over time. Business Plan For An Investment Company 17 7.5 Risk Analysis The risk analysis considers critical factors that may lead to a failure of the business concept. Such factors can involve failures during the implementation phase, as well as during operations. Such potential factors are ordered according to the probability at which they can arise. Shown is the key factor that led to the failure only. Data are drawn from questionnaires of 10 investment businesses with comparable product offerings and revenue- and cost structures that went bankrupt during the last 3 years, as well as analyses of different research institutes. 1. Insufficient demand: This is the most frequent reason that leads to business failure. This includes permanently low demand, as well as a temporary collapse in demand. Often demand estimates were too optimistic at the outset. Such failures might also come from external shocks of the market instead of operating deficiencies. 19% of businesses with insufficient demand go bankrupt. 50% of these businesses report that, once demand slacked, they did not react accordingly, because they believed that this phenomenon was only temporary. Since the expected frequency of customers during the start-up phase is still low, a critical success factor is to focus promotional effort so as to generate customer Business Plan For An Investment Company 18 loyalty early on, which will help minimize the effects of demand fluctuations. This is also important for the future development of the business. 2. Behavior of Competition: Due to low entry barriers, additional businesses can enter the market at low cost. Approximately 16% of insolvent businesses were driven out of the market by that competition. A better investment system, service concept, innovative ideas and concentration on core businesses are easy means for an entrant to gain a competitive edge. Personnel and capacity utilization: Often personnel capacity cannot be adjusted easily when demand slows down. Currently, financial businesses have a capacity utilization rate of personnel of 80%, i.e. 80% of employee working hours can be directly credited to sales. At small businesses this value is often lower, which means that 20% of working hours arise without generating any further revenue. 13% of such businesses go bankrupt for this reason. Liquidity constraints: Another frequent reasons for bankruptcy is insufficient liquidity. In that case, it is possible that all liquid funds are used to cover losses or that liquidity needs were planned too tight. To be able to flexibly react to changing liquidity needs, it is important that sufficient funds be planned, even during the start-up phase. Thus, 5-10% of the investment sum should be held as liquidity reserve permanently. 13% of insolvent businesses reported liquidity as the reason for bankruptcy. Over-indebtedness: Many business are run on a small equity base. The majority of investments are funded by debt. If the business becomes unprofitable, debt obligations cannot be covered. Little more over 10% of insolvent firms reported over-indebtedness as the reason for going bankrupt. It is therefore important that a share of earnings is retained for debt service. Macroeconomic Conditions: In a cyclical downturn, revenue expectations may not come in according to expectation. Although this factor does not affect the business in itself, it does have an impact on profitability, liquidity and leverage. Costs remain constant during such periods, but revenues typically decrease which affects overall profitability. 10% of all insolvent businesses report that they went bankrupt due to macroeconomic conditions, although the relevant indicators of the business looked healthy. Location and market: The market of the business and the selection of the right potential customers is an important success factor and one of the fundamental decisions that has an impact on the future prosperity of the firm. Therefore, a careful analysis is necessary. More than 10% of insolvent businesses reported that they went bankrupt because of the wrong market selection. Often start-ups did not consider that, even when the choice of market may not be wrong at the outset, it may later become so when economic conditions worsen. This may be due to structural changes or different interest of customers. Wrong Business Decisions: Often wrong business decisions and difficult situations go unnoticed for some period, which can lead to a failure of the business. A critical and independent reflection of a decision are critical factors to determine the value of a 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Business Plan For An Investment Company 19 management decision and evaluate the business' profitability. Studies have shown that many businesses fail in their start-up phase because of management's inability to make sound business decisions, while once a business is settled, such mistakes are very rare. A critical management instrument is the ability to detect potential failures and problems. Certain key figures can help measure this ability and objectively determine a decision's chance for success. Figure 7.5 shows the relative importance of each factor for businesses that went bankrupt. The numbers are based on the most relevant reason that triggered bankruptcy, but not the reason responsible for bankruptcy. External factors that changed the competitive environment and changing macroeconomic conditions were the most important reasons relative to internal factors. Business Plan For An Investment Company 20 8. Conclusion The investment segment is one of the most profitable within the financial industry, while almost any other segment, especially in the local markets, currently lives through a difficult time. This situation is mostly driven by the competition of larger international companies. The relatively modest investment requirements and running costs are a favorable argument, since external funds from banks becomes more difficult given that the risk aversion to finance such ventures has risen. A company with specific knowledge and innovative ideas has good chances to move into profitable market niches and run a successful business. Market conditions change constantly as do customer demands. This is the chance for businesses with innovative ideas and new offerings to secure a dependable customer basis. Service is a critical factor that can earn a competitive edge. This is also true for new trends in the industry to better control costs and increase efficiency. For a successful operation of an investment company, six factors are critical and central for the business strategy: In the investment industry, financial performance is the key determinant of success. Risk management is one central determinant. The utilization of personnel capacity is critical for the long-term profitability because of changing margins and the constraints to flexibly reduce personnel. Therefore, the additional selling of additional financial services is a further segment of the business that is integrated in the sale of the whole business process. A carefully selected assortment of new technologies has the potential to gain a competitive edge against competitors. Furthermore, a service that aims to give the customer an added value through new services can justify price mark-ups. A critical factor in the financial industry is quality management. Cost management is a critical success factor for businesses in industries where margins are low. Computer aided planning is an integral part of cost management. - -

Vanessa Redgrave is being awarded with a BAFTA Fellowship, following in the footsteps of Dame Elizabeth Taylor and Steven Spielberg
Vanessa Redgrave is being honoured with a British Academy of Film and Television Award (BAFTA) Fellowship.
The 73-year-old actress, who lost her daughter Natasha Richardson in 2009, will be presented with coveted honour at the annual BAFTA Awards ceremony on February 21.
The star admitted she was delighted with the Fellowship.
She said: "I'm truly delighted, it's such an honour to be recognised in this way. Looking through the list of past recipients shows what a wonderful accolade this is.
"The fact that Alfred Hitchcock was the very first recipient makes it even more special, as my father made his first film with him."
David Parfitt, Chair of the Academy, said: "We are absolutely thrilled to be awarding the fellowship to Vanessa.
"She is a hugely talented and respected actress who has served as an inspiration to the British film industry."
Previous recipients of the accolade include Dame Judi Dench, Alfred Hitchcock, Dame Elizabeth Taylor and Steven Spielberg.

After nearly two years in development, California has abruptly halted further work on plans to tighten emission rules on metal coating operations until 2013, the American Coatings Association reports.
California's South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) had proposed amendments to Rule 1107, Coating of Metal Parts and Products, to take effect in Nov. 2012, but the agency now plans to hold off until it resolves certain occupational exposure concerns related to tertiary butyl acetate (TBAc) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC), ACA reports.
California has halted plans to tighten emission rules on metal coating operations.
The purpose of Rule 1107 is to reduce VOC emissions from the coating of metal parts and products. The rule applies to all metal coatings operations, except those performed on aerospace assembly, magnet wire, marine craft, motor vehicle, metal container, and coil coating operations.
ACA's Concerns
Originally adopted in 1979, Rule 1107 was last amended in 2006. Ever since the air district proposed its newest round of amendments, ACA has responded with multiple sets of comments.
Most recently, ACA addressed what it believed to be "problematic" interim limits, expressing concern that the air district's contention that the interim limit was needed to encourage waterborne coatings would eliminate many high-solids coatings.
ACA had suggested dropping the proposed Jan. 1, 2015, interim limits to give coatings manufacturers adequate time to develop coatings and to work with application facilities to install and become comfortable with the new coatings and equipment.
SCAQMD said the proposed changes would reduce emissions by 1.26 tons per day.
The association had also suggested the waterborne coating definition be modified as "any coating which contains more than 20 percent by weight in its volatile fraction, as applied," calling the proposed definition at five percent of the volatile fraction "too stringent."
SCAQMD had previously incorporated some of ACA's suggested revisions, including the extension of compliance dates by one year, a one-year sell through and use through, an increase in TBAc and DMC permit modification thresholds, a more reasonable viscosity exemption, and additional rule language modifications.
What If
Under the proposal, the primary changes would have been to the General category, with limits on multi-component coatings reduced to 150 gm/L from the current 340.
SCAQMD had argued that improvements in coatings technology over the last 13 years have made it possible to reduce VOC emissions and that the changes would reduce emissions by 1.26 tons per day.
The air district had also stated that two-thirds of the facilities that report to the South Coast region already complied with the proposed limits.
Although the rule would have applied only to Southern California, SCAQMD is considered to be highly influential on environmentally policies nationwide.

When you booty is your main calling card and you are known as an urban model, I don't think you can really be upset when an athlete treats you as such. JR Smith is known for not caring too much how the women he is dealing with are portray, so it wasn't surprising when he tweeted out photos of Tahiry in their hotel room. He was fined $25k by the NBA for posting the photo on Twitter. He was taking a jab at Tahiry's ex-boyfriend rapper Joe Budden. FYI, his head wasn't in the original photo. According to Jocks and Stiletto Jill, Tahiry who is now on the reality show Love and Hip Hop says that was the downfall of their relationship. She blames Twitter for the breakup. More likely the breakup was because she was never really with him, but I digress.

Meet 100 women and men who are doing great things in federal IT.
Click here for the full list
Three-time Federal 100 winner is leaving government in July.
Members of Congress heaped hard questions on federal IT leaders at a June 16 hearing and suggested strongly that somebody needs to be fired.
Senate bill carves out exemption for supercomputing and other lab IT; an earlier version of the measure would have exempted the entire Department of Energy.
OPM is partnering with CSID to try to manage the fallout from a massive breach of some 4 million federal personnel records.
Steve Kelman applauds the OMB's move to make career employees "goal leaders" for performance management initiatives -- but wishes it had come far earlier in the administration.
In an exclusive interview, Jimaye Sones, who was Defense Information Systems Agency comptroller from 2005 to 2013, says he was reassigned after revealing questionable accounting practices at the agency.
Through computer forensics training and internships, veterans are helping Immigration and Customs Enforcement tackle a backlog in child exploitation cases.
After two months on the job studying DOD's cybersecurity and IT needs, Secretary Ashton Carter is set to unveil a new Pentagon cyber strategy in Silicon Valley.
The failure of massive federal IT projects can usually be traced to poor management. The solution is as multilayered as the projects themselves.
While these entries are factual; there is a fundamental error in the comparison. The ~7% return (although the FARS are more detailed than an average) is the margin AFTER the firm has been reimbursed for labor hours, fringe benefits, overhead, allowable property & equipment allocations, janitorial services, administrative burdens specifically due to the government contract,etc. So, the ~7% cannot be compared to other business returns. Look again, pleae. Doing business with the government is complicated and all wish to find ways it could be less cumbersome...it keeps smaller firms from trying to enter. But Lockheed is laughing all the way to the bank as they are "being squeezed by the government" with reduced profit potential. If you'd like to do some worthwhile research, study L-3 COM, especially since 2002. It will water your eyes at how they have grown and expanded their government business basis. Then write your Congressman and ask how its proper that the US Air Force Service Acquisition Executive can walk out of the government's doors and into L-3 Com with there being a conflict of interest. The real issues today are NOT the profit margins allowed. The real issue is how to save Defense acquisition from fraud and corruption.
Is this because (1.)the Government achieves lower rates through competition and transparency (though there is no price competition in engineering), (2.) the Government imposes costly requirements upon its contractors (e.g. subcontracting goals), or (3.) the nature of the work the Government orders is less risky, or (4.) the Government market is more competitive than the private market right now?
Well duh...
As a Sr consultant at a BIG-4 firm, I was charged out at $300/hour + all expenses (which weren't cheap) to commercial clients (Visa, Honeywell, Well Fargo) and $125/hour to DoD customers. 100% chargeable in both cases
Same consultant, same skill set, so who was corporate really ripping off.
Commercial customers know how to manage the consultants on their projects, while most gov't customers do not.
Alot of the gov't consultants are actually performing contract employee type efforts. They work offsite and I have witnessed many of them not even working 20 hours per week but billing 40 to the gov't customer. But that is an issue all on its own.
PHD, thanks for your question. I have looked at Accenture, which fits the pattern -- lower margins in government than commercial business. NG I don't think has much commercial business, ditto SAIC.
Steve maybe you should look at Northrup-Grumman, SAIC, Accenture and a few other major DoD contractors.

Nashville Predators forward Filip Forsberg is one of 10 players from Sweden's silver-medal winners at the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship that will take part in USA Hockey's National Junior Evaluation Camp next month.
The camp, Aug. 3-10 in Lake Placid, N.Y., will see Sweden practice and play exhibition games against teams from the United States, Canada and Finland. It's the first step in the roster makeup for teams taking part in the 2014 World Juniors in Malmo, Sweden, which runs from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 2014.
Forsberg, who was the captain of last year's team, had three goals and two assists in six games. However, his availability for Sweden at this year's WJC is questionable after Forsberg made his NHL debut late last season. After totaling 33 points in 38 games with Leksand in Sweden's Allsvenskan, he had one assist in five NHL games in April after he was traded to Nashville from the Washington Capitals.

2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Q&A
2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Question: Ford Explorer Sport Trac will turn over but not run!
My truck will turn over but not run. I sprayed starting fluid in the intake and it ran for a few seconds and then stopped. Is this a fuel pump, filter or line clog issue? Please advise. - Nick216
4 Answers
Answer 1
This could be a bad fuel pump, loss of power supply to the pump, or the injectors are not opening. Many things can cause the last two, so you should start by checking power and ground to the fuel pump then the pressure, then the injector operation. If you cannot perform these tests then I would recommend taking it to a shop to avoid replacing unnecessary parts. Good Luck, let us know what you find out! - Bret Bodas
Answer 3
Have you checked the fuel pump emergency cut off under the dash on the passenger side.It is a mecury switch that will go bad some times.If you turn the key to the on position without turning it over and leave the gas cap off you can hear the fuel pump runnig .If this is bad you will not hear it runnig - Visitor
Answer 4
It happened to me on my sport trac also. like the last answer, i push the pump back on (little red button on front passenger side on little cylinder). the car starts again. sometimes I had to keep the button pushed while starting the truck and keep my finger on it a few seconds. I think its because i pumped bad gas at a gas-station that was empty (getting all the deposit stuff from the tank). - Visitor

Mixed thin films of donor- and acceptor-type molecular semiconductors were prepared by physical vapour deposition and studied by conduction measurements in the dark during film growth and under illumination at three distinct wavelengths across the visible range of the solar spectrum. The molecules were chosen to provide both, good spectral coverage of the solar spectrum and appropriate differences in the electronic energy levels to allow charge carrier separation. Photocurrents were observed that indicated the expected contributions to the net photoconduction but also anomal, negative contributions were found, leading to a decreased conduction under illumination, showing the presence of isolated clusters. Ripening of the mixed films in vacuum and conditioning the films at air were studied subsequently and consequences on conduction and photoconduction discussed. The applicability of such films in evaporated organic bulk heterojunctions as photoconductors or in photovoltaic cells is discussed.
Vacuum chamber for simultaneous evaporation of pure and mixed organic thin films equipped with in situ (photo)-conduction measurements.

Title: Invasive trumpet vine from Fredericksburg TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I have a large trumpet vine growing on a dead tree stump. My problem is that new baby trumpet vines are coming up all over my yard. I mow them, but is there anything I can use to prevent new trumpet vines from sprouting up in my grass?
A mantra often chanted by Mr. Smarty Plants is: "The best way to control invasive plants is to never plant them."
We are assuming you are referring to Campsis radicans (Trumpet creeper). Please follow this link to our webpage and read all of it to find out why, although it is beautiful and attracts hummingbirds, we do not recommend it. Possibly what you have is Bignonia capreolata (Crossvine), which is a related vine that is not quite so pushy. Neither is native to Gillespie County, but that has never stopped them yet.
Since this is by no means a new question for us, please read this previous question, which has some more informative links, from Austin TX.

Great value for money,

This review is from: DIGIFLEX Wireless Internet USB Adaptor WiFi Dongle 300Mbps For Windows 7 / 8 / XP / Vista (Electronics)
I used a Belkin USB wi-fi adaptor for 4 years and always assumed the wi-fi signal in my study was weak, because of all the failed connections and drop outs. After switching to this adaptor, I realise it was the Belkin adaptor! I have never had a failed connection with this dongle, it's very reliable and great value for money.

After a strong seven year run on FX's successful firehouse dramedy Rescue Me, it looks like Denis Leary will be sticking with the network – but not as its star. Leary will serve as executive producer to the new FX comedy Bronx Warrants, which was given the official green-light this week.
Bronx Warrants is based on the real lives of David Joglar and Richard Wetzel, (who also act as co-producers) and centers on a group of wayward Bronx warrant detectives who are tasked with apprehending people with outstanding warrants. As the team receives bonuses for each "body" they bring in, their primary incentive is more the money than the true spirit of justice.
Eric Schrier, FX executive vice president and head of series development, had this to say in a recent statement about the upcoming project:
"We've enjoyed a great relationship with Denis, Jim and Tom through seven years of Rescue Me and I believe they found the perfect project to continue that relationship. Dean Lorey has taken this unique squad and created a hilarious and surprising world of characters and situations."
Lorey and Leary both add to Schfrier's statement, with Leary speaking on behalf of Apostle, his New York-based production company he created along with Sellitti and Serpico:
"I'm thrilled to be working with Denis Leary, Jim Serpico and the great team at FX. We loved this show from the second real life Bronx Warrants cops David Joglar and Richard Wetzel shared their insane exploits with us and we can't wait to get shooting."
Leary adds:
"I speak for everyone at Apostle when I say it's great to be welcomed back into the FX family where we hope to make a laugh-out-loud half hour and – even more importantly – use the network's juice to sneak into the Emmy gifting suites and come away with many bags of shiny swag."
With the same production team as FX's smash hit firefighter drama on board, it's almost certain that Bronx Warrants will feature the same brand of fast paced comedy that made Rescue Me such a big success for the network. Fans of Leary may be a bit bummed that the stand-up comedian won't be taking center stage on his new project – but just cause he's not the main star doesn't mean fans can't still hold on to the hope that Leary might make an on-screen appearance in a guest spot.

Obama to visit Florida, tout message on economy as polls show closer race
Published: Friday, September 19, 2008 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 19, 2008 at 1:22 p.m.
Barack Obama's campaign is pressing his economic message in Florida, leading up to the Democratic presidential nominee's scheduled visits to Miami and Jacksonville this weekend.
Obama's visit to the state comes as a CNN/Time/Opinion Research Corp. poll this week showed him moving into a tie with John McCain among Florida voters, with 48 percent each. Earlier polls had shown a slight advantage for McCain in the state, which President Bush won by about 5 percentage points in 2004.
Across the state, supporters staged rallies at gas stations to draw attention to Obama's stated intention to fix the problem behind rising fuel prices. Volunteers calling potential voters have added details about the candidate's tax plan to their scripts, and have been instructed to focus on economic policies such as rebates for workers earning $75,000 a year or less.
Democratic campaign officials also are rapping McCain for saying a few days ago that the fundamentals of the economy are strong. (McCain later said he was referring to American workers when he made his comment.) The push follows what Democrats hope will energize voters to their side in what is shaping up as a very tight race: a diving stock market, collapse of financial institutions like Merrill Lynch and American International Group's cry for a bailout.
"This is a gigantic week," said state Rep. Keith Fitzgerald of Sarasota as he helped rally for Obama at a Main Street gas station Thursday. "The bad news has refocused people on the issues. What happened has made it very stark for people that there is a major problem with the economy."
Volunteers waved signs touting Obama's plan to cut taxes by $1,000 for married couples earning less than $150,000 and calling McCain "out of touch."
Economic issues have grabbed center stage with McCain's campaign, too. McCain released a national ad Wednesday promising to reform Wall Street and saying Obama's solutions are "talk and taxes."
Obama favors cutting taxes for 80 percent of families, according to the Tax Policy Center, and rolling back the Bush tax cuts to raise rates on those earning more than $250,000. McCain favors cuts for all income groups.
"Obama would put money in the hands of middle class families who are struggling," said Steve Schale, Florida state director for Obama's campaign. "That will get the economy going again. I'm not sure how a plan that puts money in the hands of people who already have money would help the economy. Clearly it hasn't worked under the Bush administration."

Definition drilling on the Jeffrey Zone is based on a series of sections spaced at 25 metre intervals over an east-west strike length of 400-metres and north-south distance of 135 metres. The objective of the current program is to gather sufficient drill information along strike and to depth to complete an initial indicated resource calculation by the end of Q3 2011. Additional drilling is also planned in order to investigate the extent of the zone recently discovered immediately south of the Jeffrey zone (see February 28, 2011 press release).Mineralization at the Jeffrey Zone is located along the southern limit of the Cadillac Break, where it consists of disseminated pyrite-gold in potassic-altered quartz-feldspar porphyry dikes, in contact with a predominately ultramafic flow sequence, and in subordinate diorite-gabbro and sedimentary units. Narrower, higher-grade mineralization is hosted in quartz veined (silicified) porphyry or talcose and chlorite-altered ultramafic schists.Continuity of steeply-dipping mineralization is now well established along a strike length of 400 metres (sections 7200E to 7600E), with a true width of 30 to 60 metres. Mineralization is more sporadic further east between sections 7600E and 8100E. Mineralization has been traced to a depth of 200 metres on most sections, where it remains open at depth. The western extremity of the Jeffrey zone (section 7200E) lies 800m east of the Canadian Malartic property, where Osisko defined the extension of the Barnat deposit. Based on previous work by East Malartic Mines Ltd and confirmed by 2009 drilling from section 6400E to 6550E (see Golden Valley Mines March 23, 2010 press release), mineralization is known to extend onto the Malartic CHL property (the Mammoth zone). An additional 2,223m of drilling was conducted in this area in late 2010 and early 2011. Assay results from this work are pending. All NQ core assays reported above were obtained by standard 50 g fire assaying-AA finish or gravimetric finish at ALS Chemex laboratories in Val d'Or, Quebec. Reported drill core weighted averages were calculated using a minimum of 0.40 g/t Au over successive intervals of 20 metres. The lengths of mineralized intervals of less than 20 metres were minimized, and an upper cut-off of 30 g/t Au was applied to individual assays where indicated. Intervals containing individual assays that are greater than six times the average of the interval are included separately. Intersected drifts or lost core within mineralized intersections were incorporated as blank intervals. Osisko follows strict QA-QC protocol measures in keeping with industry standards and regulatory reporting requirements. Mr. Robert Wares, P. Geo. and Executive Vice-President of Osisko, and Mr. François Bouchard, P. Geo., are the Qualified Persons who has reviewed this news release and are responsible for the technical information reported herein, including verification of the data disclosed including the sampling, analytical and test data underlying the technical information.Osisko has the right to acquire a 70% interest in the Malartic CHL Property in consideration for $150,000 in cash payments over a four year period (total amount paid) and by completing a minimum $2,000,000 in exploration work over a four year period (funds currently expended). Upon earning its 70% interest, Abitibi Royalties Inc., Golden Valley's wholly owned subsidiary, will maintain a free-carried interest of 30% to production.Cautionary Notes Concerning Estimates of Mineral Resources This news release uses the terms measured, indicated and inferred resources as a relative measure of the level of confidence in the resource estimate. Readers are cautioned that mineral resources are not economic mineral reserves and that the economic viability of resources that are not mineral reserves has not been demonstrated. In addition, inferred resources are considered too geologically speculative to have any economic considerations applied to them. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies or economic studies except for Preliminary Assessment as defined under NI 43-101. Readers are cautioned not to assume that that further work on the stated resources will lead to mineral reserves that can be mined economically.Forward-Looking StatementsCertain statements contained in this press release may be deemed "forward-looking statements". All statements in this release, other than statements of historical fact, that address events or developments that Osisko expects to occur, are forward looking statements. Forward looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "projects", "potential", "scheduled" and similar expressions, or that events or conditions "will", "would", "may", "could" or "should" occur including, without limitation, the commencement of commercial production. Although Osisko believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, including, without limitation, that all technical, economical and financial conditions will be met in order to warrant further development of the project, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those in forward looking statements. Factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include gold prices, access to skilled consultants, mining development personnel, results of exploration and development activities, Osisko's limited experience with production and development stage mining operations, uninsured risks, regulatory changes, defects in title, availability of personnel, materials and equipment, timeliness of government approvals, actual performance of facilities, equipment and processes relative to specifications and expectations, unanticipated environmental impacts on operations market prices, continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions. These factors are discussed in greater detail in Osisko's most recent Annual Information Form and in the most recent Management Discussion and Analysis filed on SEDAR, which also provide additional general assumptions in connection with these statements. Osisko cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. Investors and others who base themselves on forward-looking statements should carefully consider the above factors as well as the uncertainties they represent and the risk they entail. Osisko believes that the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this press release should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date of this press release.FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: John BurzynskiOsisko Mining CorporationVice-President Corporate Development(416) 363-8653www.osisko.comORSylvie Prud'hommeOsisko Mining CorporationInvestor Relations(514) 735-7131Toll free : 1-888-674-7563
