Comelec General Instructions for the May 10, 2010 Elections
PCOS Machine
Saturday, January 09, 2010
Friday, January 01, 2010
Comelec: May 10 Elections Guidelines
Tasks of the voters:
- Upon arriving at the precinct, a voter should look for his or her name at the PCVL near the door of the voting center to determine his or her precinct number and sequence number. The voter will be instructed to give these pieces of information to the BEIs together with other personal information.
- After his or her identity is verified, the name of the voter will be read out loud to give chance for any contention. If uncontested, he or she will be given a ballot by the BEI chairman – only upon ensuring that the said voter has yet to cast his or her vote in another precinct.
- The voter will be instructed to fill out his or her ballot using a secrecy folder and a marking pen provided by the Comelec. He or she must fill out the ballot by fully shading at least 50 percent of the oval beside the names of the candidates and party-list group of his or her choice.
- He or she must then approach the PCOS, insert his or her ballot in the poll machine's entry slot and wait until the ballot is dropped into the semi-transparent ballot box. If the ballot is rejected, the BEI will allow for another re-entry, but if rejected again, the voter will not be issued a replacement ballot.
- After that, the voter is expected to return the secrecy folder and marking pen to the BEI chairman.
- The BEI chairman will in turn apply indelible ink at the base and extend it to the cuticle of the right forefinger nail of the voter, who will then be instructed to affix his or her thumbmark in the space in the Election Day Computerized Voters List (EDCVL).
After the voting
- The BEI chairman will record the quantity of unused ballots, which will be torn in half lengthwise. One half will be given to the election officer for safekeeping while the other half will be placed in a compartment of the ballot box.
- The BEIs will then close the voting by entering several codes into the poll machine, which will make the PCOS unit print eight copies of the election returns for national positions and another eight for local positions.
- The BEI chairman will publicly announce the total number of votes received by each candidate, which will also be posted on a wall within the polling place. After 48 hours, he or she will take the list and keep it in his or her custody.
- On the other hand, the PCOS unit will transmit the election reports using a transmission cable and a modem. If successful, the reports will be transmitted to other precincts, the Comelec mainframe, its other offices, and other stakeholders.
- After transmission, the poll machine will print 22 more copies of the election returns, a copy of the audit log report, and a copy of the statistical report.
- The Comelec said that the eight initial copies of election returns will be sealed, placed in an envelope and sealed again.
- The poll body said that the election returns will be distributed to the city or municipal board of canvassers, Congress, Comelec, four accredited citizens' arm, dominant majority and minority parties, ballot box, 10 accredited national parties aside from the first two, two accredited major local parties, four national broadcast or print media entities, two local media outfits, and one to be posted on a wall within the polling place.
- Upon termination of the counting of votes at the precinct level, the BEI shall place inside the ballot box the sealed envelopes containing the election returns, minutes, and half-torn and rejected ballots.
- The ballot box will be locked with four locks, one of which is self-locking and is serially numbered. The keys to the three other padlocks, on the other hand, will be placed in separate envelopes that are to be sealed and signed by the BEIs.
- Meanwhile, the PCOS will be turned over to the support technician in the voting center.

Craftsman's Cribsheet: The Quality Function--Value-Added Overhead
How can the quality function help an organization make more money? By serving the operations and sales groups. Recognize and embrace the fact that quality neither produces nor sells. Quality is a support function, and it can have a huge impact on the bottom line.
Serving Operations:
Featured Content
• Identify your role in reducing operational expenses by allowing professionals on the floor
to concentrate on what they do best.
• Simplify systems and processes so these functions can concentrate on producing.
• Ensure that work instructions are easily accessible through key postings and/or by electronic means.
• Define your document approval process without the bureaucratic need for literal "sign-offs."
• Maintain and post key department measurables for the entire plant.
• Spearhead and manage your company's problem-solving efforts for both internal and
external issues.
• Act as a working member of the teams by documenting the planned actions. Assist with
the follow up of actions whenever possible.
• Communicate the successes, failures and improvements to both the participants of the group and to the balance of the plant personnel.
• Develop relationships with all floor personnel. Verbal confirmation of postings, customer visits, audits and other events will reaffirm the orga- nizational vision and provide a sense of ownership for each person you speak with.
Serving Sales:
• Quality can assist sales by keeping sales personnel abreast of the continual efforts and successes of the plant.
• Provide quick customer response to quality issues by giving a personal call to the customer within 24 hours of notification.
• The facts will play out as to where the "fault" lies with any problem, but it is the immediate contact and
verbal commitment to solve the problem that will have lasting impact.
• Provide documentation to the customer in electronic format, including statistical reporting mandates and product certifications.
• Embrace requests for PPAP by utilizing your ability to respond to these requests in an electronic format.
• Don't shy away from new quality standards. If you see that a mandate to achieve a certain certification (for example, TS16949 or ISO-17025) is on the hori- zon, prepare your system to conform today.
• If your current system is logically defined, adding to it will not be as overwhelming as you might think. Your leadership will be rewarded.
The quality function, like all support functions, has a duty to identify what it is that they can do to support those who directly affect the bottom line, operations and sales. Communication is the key to successful quality support in manufacturing.

May 25, 2018 (KyivPost) Russian President Vladimir Putin on May 15 opened a 19-kilometer bridge across the Kerch Strait connecting the Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory of Crimea with Russia, an ambitious project completed some 75 years after the Nazis first tried to do the same. Putin, whose popularity rose drastically after Russia invaded and occupied Crimea in the spring of 2014, personally oversaw the project, which started in 2015. Speaking to the builders of the bridge, Putin said there had been plans to construct such a bridge since the times of the Russian tsars, without mentioning that a previous bridge had actually existed in 1943-1944 thanks to two dictators – Adolf Hitler of Nazi Germany and Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union. In March 1943, Hitler ordered the construction of a road and railway bridge over the Kerch Strait within six months, but Nazi forces had to retreat in September the same year, leaving the bridge unfinished.
The Soviets managed to finish the bridge in the summer of 1944 using the materials left by the German army, but the bridge was destroyed six months later by ice flows. Modern critics have questioned the reliability and durability of the Russian bridge, as the bottom of the Kerch strait is covered with up to 80 meters of mud, requiring the construction of deep piles to support the bridge. A blogger in April claimed to have photographed large cracks in one of the bridge supports, and hasty repairs being made. There are also several faults in the crust under the Kerch Strait, making the area prone to earthquakes and eruptions of mud volcanoes, which adds to the risk that the new bridge will be unstable.
A vehicle runs down the 19 km road-and-rail Crimean Bridge passing over the Kerch Strait and linking southern Russia to the Crimean peninsula on May 15, 2018, in Kerch, prior to the opening ceremony. Putin, who personally drove a Russian Kamaz truck across the bridge from Russia's Taman peninsula to Ukraine's Crimea at the head of a column of 35 cars, announced that cargo transport would start moving across the bridge from autumn and that the parallel railway bridge would open in a year. Putin also briefly thanked all who participated in the construction, which was conducted predominantly by a company belonging to Arkady Rotenberg, an old friend of Putin who has benefited from lucrative contracts handed out by the Kremlin, and who is now on the EU sanctions list. In celebration, Russian authorities organized pop concerts at both ends of the bridge, events that recalled the massive pro-Kremlin celebrations held in Simferopol and Moscow in 2014 after the invasion and start of the Russian occupation of Crimea. Meanwhile, Ukraine and the West slammed the new bridge as illegal and damaging to the environment. Sarcastically, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said the new bridge "will definitely be handy for the occupants when they have to urgently leave our Crimea." The European Commission said in a statement that the building of the bridge was an "another violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity by Russia," adding that the new bridge will also hinder the access of Ukrainian shipping to Ukrainian ports on the Sea of Azov. Ukraine's Prosecutors Office of Crimea in exile estimated that the new bridge will cause damage of environment of the Black and Azov Seas worth at least $380 million.

Still hoping to go to the Super Bowl? Your odds are looking pretty good.
As of 9 a.m. Friday, the "get-in price," or the price of the cheapest tickets available for this year's game, was roughly $1,250, down 30% from a week ago and down 44% from roughly two weeks ago, when it was first decided that the Denver Broncos would face off against the Seattle Seahawks, according to TiqIQ, a ticket aggregator.
Prices dropped quicker than usual this year, largely because of the cold weather, ticket brokers say. Some fans seem unwilling to spend big bucks to watch the game outdoors at MetLife stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., on a chilly winter day. Indeed, most of the tickets that plummeted in price recently were those for the upper deck and end zone, according to ticket search engine SeatGeek. In contrast, average prices for club seats, which give fans access to a heated indoor area, held steady a week before the game, ranging from $6,000 to $7,000.
Local football fans in New York and New Jersey may be able to score the cheapest tickets this weekend, since ticket prices are expected to drop until right before the game. And after weeks of below-freezing temperatures, some locals might find the forecast for game day downright balmy, as temperatures are expected to near 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Those fans who care about where they sit should buy their tickets sooner rather than later, says Cameron Papp, a spokesman for ticket broker StubHub. Last year, the cheapest ticket to the Super Bowl in New Orleans sold on StubHub went for $500 a few hours before the game, says Papp.
Not that any further price drops will be dramatic from this point on, says Chris Matcovich, a spokesman for TiqIQ. Brokers and people trying to unload their tickets will still try to sell them for at least face value, which typically starts at about $800, in order to avoid a loss, he says. (Will Flaherty, spokesman for SeatGeek, estimates that ticket prices may drop another 10% in the next two days.)
This year's game "looks like this will be the cheapest super bowl since 2002," says Flaherty. That was the Super Bowl following 9/11, when many people were having trouble traveling or were unwilling to fly in the wake of the attacks, and many fans were able to get tickets on the day of the game that cost much less than face value, says Flaherty.

Election hits $2B mark amid last-minute donations
Fri., Dec. 7, 2012
WASHINGTON (AP) — Remarkable for its last-minute surge of contributions, the U.S. presidential election witnessed unprecedented sums of cash boosting two men in their quest for the White House. It was a cost that surpassed $2 billion and sometimes came with the cloak of anonymity for billionaire donors.
The election was the first in which "super" political action committees spent hundreds of millions on television ads, especially those supporting GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Super PACs, like those helping President Barack Obama, benefited from deep wells of money from wealthy donors and corporations.
A handful of mega donors stood out. The most prominent were Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and his wife, Miriam, who together contributed nearly $100 million — as promised — to help Republican candidates. On the left, celebrities like Jeffrey Katzenberg poured millions of dollars into efforts helping Obama win a second term.
More than $230 million in super PAC money bolstered Romney's candidacy, adding to the massive haul by the Republican Party for the former Massachusetts governor. The pro-Romney super PACs were able to hammer the president in swing states with meticulously designed ads highlighting a woeful economy and what they portrayed as Obama's failed record.
A sizable chunk of that cash flowed in just weeks before Election Day. Because Federal Election Commission rules don't require groups to report until late November the money they've raised since mid-October, many top donors escaped scrutiny until after the Nov. 6 voting. The Adelsons' $33 million gift to two pro-Romney super PACs, as well as $3 million from Larry Ellison, head of software giant Oracle Corp., were not divulged until Thursday.
The pro-Obama Priorities USA Action raked in nearly 20 percent of the money it raised this election during the final weeks of the campaign. Much of that $15 million haul, records show, came from repeat million-dollar donors like Fred Eychaner, the founder of Chicago-based Newsweb Corp., and from the ranks of Renaissance Technologies, whose investors donated $4 million in the campaign's final weeks.
Those pots of money, in turn, enabled super PACs to dole out millions of dollars on pricey television ads in important swing states, including some where razor-thin ballot margins had been forecast for Election Day.
"The super PACs helped Romney run a more competitive race," said R. Donahue Peebles, an Obama fundraiser from New York. "But, in the end, money can take a candidate only so far."
Surpassing the $2 billion record was long expected after an election season dominated by the supercharged competitive pressures that both campaigns faced in mounting massive fundraising blitzes to stoke expensive media ad battles and ground wars. The Obama and Romney campaigns mobilized competing squads of ultra-wealthy fundraisers, sought aid from free-spending allied super PACS and deployed multimillion-dollar media broadsides and armies of organizers.
Romney and the GOP reported raising more than $920 million by election's end, compared with Obama and the Democrats' $960 million. Obama had been largely outspent by Romney and allied groups during the summer, but the president's campaign began to close that gap as Election Day approached.
Campaigns and outside groups brought in more than $1 billion to help each candidate, an Associated Press review of financial records showed. In 2008, Obama shattered records by raising more than $750 million in donations. Romney's campaign, for its part, said it stretched its dollar competing against an incumbent.
"Every dollar we raised was put to use in the effort to elect Mitt Romney," said finance chair Spencer Zwick, citing strong fundraising during the final weeks leading up to Nov. 6. Romney's election effort brought in $85.9 million since mid-October, compared with Obama's $111 million during the same period.
After a series of high-profile federal court rulings, the nation's relaxed campaign-finance system allowed for unlimited contributions from corporations, labor groups and others; television advertisements from nonprofit groups that concealed who paid for them and the proliferation of more than 1,000 super PACs. Those groups can't coordinate with the candidates they support, but groups on both sides of the political aisle were staffed with former campaign advisers who were deft political fundraisers.
But the election was known just as much for its sources of so-called dark money as it was for its hefty price tag.
Nonprofit "social welfare" organizations spent hundreds of millions more on so-called issue ads, and those groups don't have to disclose their donors because they're governed by tax law. Open-government groups have pushed Congress, to no avail, for a law that would require politically active groups to reveal their finances.
As well, federal rules require timely disclosure for super PACs, but determining who's behind big donations isn't always easy. In summer 2011, a fledgling company dissolved shortly after making a $1 million contribution to a super PAC supporting Romney; records showed that the company, established and closed over a four-month period, was formed by a Romney supporter who once worked with him at the private equity firm Bain Capital.
Other super PACs active this election season benefited from opaque, eleventh-hour contributions. FreedomWorks for America, a prominent tea party group, reported more than $5.2 million in donations during the first half of October — about 90 percent of the group's fundraising haul — from an apparent shell company in Knoxville, Tenn., called Specialty Group that advertises no product or service.
The company's owner, William Rose, said in a statement he was under no obligation to reveal where his money — ultimately used to boost high-profile congressional races — came from.

DNR sets experimental regulations for brook trout in the U.P.
The Department of Natural Resources has approved five stream segments in the Upper Peninsula for an increase in the daily possession limit for brook trout from five to 10 fish. The rule becomes effective April 1, 2013.
This limited experimental regulation is in response to requests from anglers to increase the daily possession limit on brook trout across the Upper Peninsula.
For selected stream segments, the daily possession limit for brook trout would be 10 fish and the minimum size limit would be 7 inches. Streams were selected from existing Type 1 streams which have a daily possession limit of five fish and a 7-inch minimum size limit.
Stream segments and their tributaries include: Dead River (Marquette County), Driggs River (Schoolcraft County), East Branch Ontonagon River (Houghton and Iron counties), East Branch Tahquamenon River (Chippewa County) and East Branch Huron River (Baraga and Marquette counties).
In October the DNR proposed a new Type 5 stream category at the Natural Resources Commission meeting, with 10 streams to be included. Angler input resulted in a reduction of the number of streams proposed from 10 down to five and the removal of the Type 5 category, substituting instead the experimental regulations category. In addition, the DNR has committed to evaluations that will begin next year.
Streams selected for this regulation will constitute 3 percent of the current Type 1 stream mileage available in the Upper Peninsula. During the next several years, Fisheries Division will work with a variety of partners to assess the biological effects of the possession limit increase on the brook trout populations in the experimental regulations category streams.
The stream segments are not accessible to brook trout from the Great Lakes. In recent years, rehabilitation of lake-run brook trout populations has attracted considerable interest among resource agencies, conservation groups and anglers, and a variety of measures have been taken to protect these populations. These "coaster" brook trout are a life history variant and are not a genetically distinct strain or sub-species. The DNR has also proposed future work in this area of brook trout management.
Maps and written descriptions of the upstream (where applicable) and downstream boundaries for the experimental trout regulations are available at www.michigan.gov/fishing.

All-in-one computers are machines generally designed for home offices and living rooms. Those addicted to Microsoft Exchange are typically not the target audience. Lenovo's ThinkCentre Edge 91z reconsiders that assumption.
The Edge 91z can handle a quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, a 21.5-inch screen, 8 gigs of memory and either an 80-gig SSD or 1 terabyte HDD into a body that's 2.5 inches thick. And it has HDMI out for connecting a second screen. Along with the included wireless mouse and keyboard, the Edge 91z will start at $700 when it begins shipping in July.
Lenovo Introduces Its Slimmest, Most Powerful All-In-One Desktop for Business Pros
Unveils ThinkCentre Edge 91z, First of New Edge-Branded AIO Lineup
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – May 17, 2011: Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) announced today the ThinkCentre Edge 91z all-in-one (AIO) desktop - the first PC in the ThinkCentre Edge family - that blends a sophisticated image, purposeful function and extreme productivity into a small, compact model. Equipped with up to Intel i7 Quad Core processors, the ThinkCentre Edge 91z AIO makes its debut as one of the industry's most powerful AIOs, as well as one of the thinnest, measuring just 2.5 inches. It makes an ideal office or home tool for small-to-medium businesses, education customers and power professionals looking for style and high performance with the convenience of a small footprint.
"As many companies turn to all-in-one (AIO) desktops to creatively furnish space-constrained offices, we've expanded our line of business AIOs to meet their personalized needs," said Tom Shell, vice president, Worldwide ThinkCentre Marketing, Lenovo. "The new ThinkCentre Edge 91z AIO elevates computing for small-to-medium businesses with an unmatched combination of style and substance, outpacing other PCs in performance, fast boot up, serviceability and price."
Super-Thin AIO Dressed to Impress
The ThinkCentre Edge 91z AIO sports a 21.5-inch glossy high definition screen for crystal clear images. While the screen makes a large visual impact, its industry-leading thin frame helps it fit into even the tightest of work spaces. A convenient optional wireless keyboard with comfortable island-style keyboard tucks neatly under the AIO to complement its minimalist look. This compact design helps save up to 70 percent of space versus a traditional tower desktop and LCD monitor1.
Features and Function With Purpose
By definition, AIO desktops should be easy to set up. The ThinkCentre Edge 91z makes it even easier - just plug in and go. The AIO keeps this simplicity and purposeful design constant throughout its construction: From a spill resistant wireless keyboard, front-facing control buttons and wall mount capability to multiple-display support, the AIO makes operation worry-free and intuitive.
Powerful AIO Performer
When it comes to performance, the ThinkCentre Edge 91z AIO comes fully loaded from "power on." With Lenovo Enhanced Experience 2.0 for Windows 7, it boots 30 percent faster than non-optimized models2, and with RapidDrive on optional solid state drive models, users can shave off up to 20 seconds of boot time2. Armed with up to Intel i7 Quad Core processors, 8 GB of DDR3 memory, 80 GB solid state drive storage or 1 TB hard drive and optional 1 GB of ATI discrete graphics, the AIO pushes the envelope as one of the industry's most powerful AIOs.
The ThinkCentre Edge 91z AIO provides a first-class multimedia experience too. With support for HDMI and an optional Blu-ray DVD drive, high definition videos appear seamless and strikingly clear. Users can also stream video on the AIO's big screen using its WiFi capabilities and video chat via the web camera.
Pricing and Availability3
The ThinkCentre Edge 91z all-in-one desktop will be available starting in July through business partners. Pricing for models starts at approximately $699.

That's the point of benchmarking. When Crysis came out, nothing could run it, and it was used as a benchmark for this exact reason.
And since ATI dropped their Catalyst driver for cards before r600, Linux users can only use this open source driver. And for many of them, performance is important. They cry on the internet about how they want optimisations. That's what Michael is reporting on.

Recent NFL history does not bode well for Rex Ryan
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Judging from the way he looked on the practice field -- chatting amiably with his players, offering pointers about technique and flashing that trademark smile -- you wouldn't have the slightest clue Rex Ryan might be coaching his last season for the Jets.
Ryan appeared relaxed and confident as he put this year's rookie class of draft choices and free agents through their first NFL workouts, looking like anything but a guy facing an uncertain situation entering his fifth season on the Jets' sideline.
But make no mistake: This is a make-or-break year for Ryan. And if recent history is any indication, Ryan's tenure with the Jets may soon be over.
It's an odd dynamic for the 50-year-old Ryan, who received a vote of confidence from team owner Woody Johnson after last year's 6-10 season but now works with a new general manager who will be the final arbiter of whether the coach stays or goes after 2013. The day Johnson put out his general-manager-for-hire sign after parting ways with Mike Tannenbaum, he made it clear he wanted the head coach to remain. But new GM John Idzik, who has already made his imprint on the team with a sweeping roster overhaul, will ultimately be the one to decide on Ryan's fate.
Take a look at the unusual arrangement in which an incumbent coach works for a new GM, and you'll see the odds are against Ryan. Consider:
In 2005, the Packers hired Ted Thompson as general manager while retaining head coach Mike Sherman. A year later, Sherman was out after a 4-12 season, and Thompson hired Mike McCarthy.
The Browns hired Mike Holmgren as team president in 2010, and Holmgren decided to retain head coach Eric Mangini for that season. A year later, Mangini was out, and Holm- gren brought in Pat Shurmur.
And after the 2011 season, the Bears fired longtime GM Jerry Angelo, replacing him with first-time GM Phil Emery. Head coach Lovie Smith was initially retained, but was fired by Emery after just one year.
The one example of success involving a general manager inheriting a coach: the 2007 Giants, who hired Jerry Reese to succeed Ernie Accorsi. Reese and incumbent coach Tom Coughlin won their first of two Super Bowls that year, but the two had already worked closely for several years before Reese, the former personnel director, took over for Accorsi.
So far, Ryan and Idzik have gotten along quite well, and both have been highly complimentary of one another.
But Ryan's long-term tenure remains an open question, because Idzik has no allegiance to him since Ryan wasn't his hire. And as we've seen so far from the first-year general manager, a longtime executive who has earned the respect of his peers at previous stops in Tampa Bay, Arizona and Seattle, Idzik is not afraid to make bold moves.
He made the unpopular -- yet wise -- decision to get a first-round pick and a conditional fourth-rounder for Darrelle Revis, who is coming off a knee injury and would have been nearly impossible to retain on a long-term deal.
Idzik said enough with the Tim Tebow distraction by releasing him two days after the draft.
And Idzik swiftly extricated the Jets from salary-cap purgatory with other moves that at least allowed the team to escape from the financial quagmire he inherited.
What he does with Ryan is now the next big issue for the general manager. Bigger even than what happens with Mark Sanchez, whose play will determine whether this is his final year in New York.
It's a far more complicated evaluation with Ryan, who now finds himself in a rebuilding situation for the first time as a head coach.
If Ryan shows Idzik that he can navigate the tricky waters of a young and relatively untested roster by remaining competitive in a division that still belongs to Bill Belichick's Patriots, then he'll earn the right to stay. But if the record slips even further after two straight years of regression, then Idzik will no doubt part ways with Ryan and make his own hire.
So don't let Ryan's easygoing manner deceive you now that he begins preparing his team for the difficult slog ahead. It's what happens from September through December that will determine whether the swashbuckling coach gets to stay into 2014.
If history is the guide, this could be it for Ryan.

Let's imagine you are a program or project manager who is using Project Web App (PWA) to manage projects and proposals, and you would like to collect proposals & requests as well as project ideas from the different people in your team or even across the organization. One way to do that would be to collect these proposals in email, face to face conversations, etc., and then you'd have to manually enter them in PWA one by one. The problem with this way is that it's time consuming, and not easily scalable to a continuous and seamless agile process. Plus, the proposals are submitted in different formats, which creates further overhead in converting them to the projects in PWA.
Now, what if you could have everybody enter their requests and ideas into a SharePoint list tailored to your needs (using specific list items to capture the request), and then you could convert a subset of those list items to projects in PWA? That's what many of our customers asked us, and we are delivering it both online and on-premise with Project Online and Project Server 2013!
All you need to do is to create a custom SharePoint list (either under PWA or in a PWA subsite), where these proposals are entered. In this example I entered two requests: New Windows Phone App and New Windows 8 App:
(SharePoint Custom List with columns such as Description, Submitter, Budget Cost, Budget Estimate, Risk, and Rating)
Then, you can select an item in the list, and click on the "Create Projects" button:
(In the Items ribbon there is a new button: Create Project)
And this brings up the "Create Projects in Project Web App" dialog which lists the data captured in the Ideas & Requests list and how it maps to PWA equivalent custom fields; for instance: Budget Cost maps to Total Cost, or the Risk choice list maps to Risk Rating. Note that, you can set the default mappings, by navigating to the SharePoint list settings, and choosing Project Server settings options.
Once you are satisfied with the mapping the next step is to choose what process will be used to evaluate and execute these requests. In Project Server 2010 we introduced the notion of Enterprise Project Type (EPT) that enables different projects to be driven by different workflows and in this new scenario we will choose the New Product Development EPT.
Once you are satisfied with the field mapping and process selection click "Create Projects" which will convert the SharePoint list items into projects in PWA. You will next be notified that the projects have been successfully created in PWA:
Next navigate to PWA's Project Center and you'll now see the projects listed:
Let's select the New Windows 8 App and you will noticed is associated to a five phases workflow specific to New Product Development EPTs:
All the information captured in the list item is also transferred to the project's custom fields as show below:
From now onward the requests & ideas and following the process defined and typically will go through an evaluation phase using the out of the box Portfolio Analysis capabilities of PWA before the execution phase.
An end to end process online or on-premise without any customization nor a single line of code!
Last year we released this popular solution Announcing SharePoint Lifecycle Management Solution with Project Server 2010 to help SharePoint IT teams manage farm requests and it required a custom solution to enable this scenario but now with the new Project this is all out of the box, flexible and supported by Microsoft.
So, go ahead and sign up for the Project Online and try out this new scenario that will help you define end to end processes using SharePoint item lists and SharePoint designer (see Demand Management, Now with SharePoint Designer) to manage demand, requests, ideas, etc.!

The boys at Sterling Global Strategies started their independent firm in late 2008; yes, 2008. You might call 'em crazy for doing so at that time, but be sure to add "like a fox."
Like many (or pretty much everyone), co-founders Greg Carroll, Mike Haig and Mark Eicker came from the wirehouse world, a financial planning "Band of Brothers" that moved as a tight-knit team to protect and grow clients' assets while battling volatile markets and, sometimes, their own employers.
"These firms never wanted you to go to cash," Carroll says. "They thought if you stayed allocated and rebalanced when necessary, over the long term you would come out fine. It worked in the past, but as things got more correlated, it wasn't working liked it used to."
When the bull run from 1982 to 2000 ended, he adds, you could rebalance, but you would still be losing ground.
"It was a brutal time trying to explain to your clients how, relative to the market, we were doing pretty well. But clients were getting very tired of that."
As was Eicker, who took the loss of client assets so hard he decided to leave the team in early 2003. But the question of how to more efficiently and effectively grow client assets never left him. After spending time in Europe, he returned to the States to wholesale. But in his spare time, he wrestled with the question, eventually developing ideas and algorithms that brought the team together again in 2008.
"When that happened, we started checking out the independent RIA world and decided to start Sterling soon after," Carroll says, before rightly adding that "it was probably the worst time you could ever try to transition away from a wirehouse with the world falling apart."
As everyone knows, but few (wirehouse) reps admit, they are restricted to certain investment firms, mutual fund companies, annuity companies, etc. The open architecture Sterling now employs is what Carroll calls "a huge relief."
And, he adds, they can use cash in a tactical manner to their clients' benefit, to better protect in times of stress.
"The algorithms that Eicker developed drive our clients to cash in major market downturns," Carroll explains. "We now have a core strategy that we began publishing on Bloomberg back in the middle of 2010. The reason is that it gives our clients a place to look and have confidence that they can compare it to other asset managers or mutual fund companies or something that might be going on at Fidelity or another wirehouse and see how well this index is doing."
It's a tactical strategy that they evaluate and trade as needed on a monthly basis.
"When everything seemed to be going down like in 2008, the algorithm would drive us to 100% cash. If there were certain areas of the market that were performing well we would, with a fairly concentrated portfolio, latch on to those segments with longer term up-trends. We're not trying to capture any short-term market moves or anything like that."
It sounds great, except cash means money markets, and money markets suffered that pesky "breaking the buck" thing. Does it ever come up?
Carroll says no, it hasn't come up in client presentations, but it is something they look at and can protect against in each of the four strategies they offer (based on Eicker's algorithms): the Tactical Rotation Strategy, Tactical Emerging Markets Strategy, Tactical Bond Strategy and the Global Allocation Strategy.
The Sterling Tactical Rotation Strategy seeks "to provide absolute returns during any market cycle or condition by employing an equally weighted strategic rotation model, trading between commodities, REITs, bonds, and international and domestic equities." The firm says it strives to mitigate market volatility by utilizing a "go-to-cash risk management algorithm (previously explained). The strategy replicates the Sterling Tactical Rotation Index.
The Sterling Tactical Emerging Markets Strategy was created to take advantage of the long-term growth prospects employed by Brazil, China and India. The firm added two developed countries (Germany and Australia) to lower the correlation of the portfolio components. According to Carroll, the low correlation, coupled with the go-to-cash risk management process, is designed to capture the upside potential of these three high-growth markets while lowering overall downside risk.
The Sterling Tactical Bond Strategy was designed to outperform during a rising interest rate environment by rotating between emerging market bonds, international bonds, domestic high-yield and investment-grade bonds, TIPS and cash. The strategy employs a risk management tool that allows 100% cash exposure during declining bond markets.
Lastly, the Sterling Global Allocation Strategy combines the three investment methodologies into one all-encompassing investment vehicle. The proportional allocation of investments is 50% to Sterling Tactical Rotation Strategy, 30% to Sterling Tactical Emerging Markets Strategy and 20% to Sterling Tactical Bond Strategy.
The strategies have attracted attention. They currently reside on the Schwab platform and the team recently signed with UMA provider Placemark Investments.
"Part of our business is expanding to allow other advisors to actually access the strategies. We recently signed up with a variable annuity to be an overlay manager. The next big step is whether or not we should do an ETF."
In the area of industry recognition, their Tactical Rotation Strategy received the "Top Gun" status by Informa Investment Solutions' PSN manager ranking database for Q1 2011. This rank was awarded to the top 10 performers in the managed ETF, global balanced universe, where the strategy took the No. 1 performance spot for the quarter ending March 31, 2011.
"We've been there on multiple occasions with various strategies so word's getting out there that we've done some pretty good things."

A gift idea born from the meeting among the Parmigiano Reggiano Millesimato Bertinelli, genuine food rich in history and tradition, and a beautiful grater designed by the firm Brandani in a series of colorful gift, all to collect!
… Hay and Grass notes….What are you waiting for? Taste it!!
From a bright idea an optimum Parmigiano Reggiano
"Millesimato": from the first 100 days' milk the excellence of Parmigiano Reggiano!
Millesimato is ideal as a Table Cheese. Millesimato tastes really good: it's a milder cheese, round, smooth, never pungent and aggressive, ideal to be eaten.
Excellent if served with vegetables and meat, optimum as an aperitif and finger food.
Millesimato is the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese made with the best milk, the one produced from cows in the first 100 days following calving.
This milk is much more nourishing because of its high protein content. Once curdled, it spontaneously releases water, which is what makes it particularly suitable for the production of hard cheeses. The marked syneresis of the early lactation milk allows a good drying of the curd without cooking it too much, this enables the good bacteria to be selected. At Azienda Agricola Bertinelli all the products of its tilled fields are used for the feed of the livestock in the stable. The milk is used by the dairy for the production of Parmigiano Reggiano, all strictly controlled and guaranteed by certificates of Quality and Traceability. The company is part of the Parks and Reserves of Emilia Romagna, boasting organic certification for all crops. Visit the website www.bertinelli.it and under the item "tracciabilità" type in the Lot number you find on the label of your piece of cheese. You will find out about the origin of the milk and the forage for your piece of Millesimato!
Worldwide known as the "King of Cheeses" it's recommended for the daily diet of all people. It is one of the few foods all naturally made, without any additives! Only milk, rennet and a little salt!
Unbeatable when it is grated on pasta, rice and soups, even the rind can be added to soups and cream of vegetable soups; it's excellent as a table cheese with its full and delicate flavour, it's great eaten alone or with vegetables and fruits such as pears, apples, figs, grapes, peaches, kiwi and nuts. To delight the most discerning palates it is delicious with the balsamic vinegar.
Do not forget to enjoy it with an aperitif!
Parmigiano-Reggiano is the only cheese that can withstand, with no added additives, a long maturing that enhance its organoleptic qualities. Calcium, phosphorus and amino acids are the main nutrients: they are easily digested and therefore they are recommended in everyone's diet, from childhood to old age.
Parmigiano-Reggiano is also ideal for people with lactose intolerance. The lactose is transformed into lactic acid at the very beginning of the maturation process as part of the process of lowering the acidity level of the cheese as a whole, this being an essentially part of the production process. The above findings have been backed up by laboratory experiments that have confirmed the parameters of concentrated lactose at between 0 and 0.39 mg/100g equivalent to 0.1 mg/100kcal. As a consequence Parmigiano-Reggiano can without any doubt be considered a lactose free food. (Source: Parmigiano Reggiano Safeguarding Consortium)
History. The "King of cheeses" has ancient origins: it was first made several hundred years ago at the Benedictine and Cistercian monasteries in the area between the Po river and the Apennine mountains. The monks had much cattle, necessary to produce this wonderful cheese (sixteen litres of milk are used to make 1 Kilo of Parmigiano-Reggiano).
How it's made. Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese is still produced as eight centuries ago with natural craft method. The dairies use the perfectly healthy milk of cows which are mainly fed with fodder grown in the area of origin, which includes the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna (left of the Reno river) and Mantua (south of the Po river). The feeding of cattle complies with the norms of a strict specification that bans the use of silage and fermented feeds. The whole milk from the morning milking is added to the skimmed milk from the night before, and then is poured into the typical bell-shaped copper cauldrons.
The calf rennet and the fermented whey, rich in natural lactic ferments, curdle the milk in a few minutes. After being broken down into minuscule granules using a traditional tool called "spino", the curd is cooked at a temperature of 55 degrees centigrade. The cheese mass that sinks to the bottom is removed after about 30 minutes, cut into two parts and wrapped in a typical cloth, and then it is put into a "fascera", a mould which will give it its final shape. A casein plate with a unique, progressive number is put on each cheese, in this way we can know the origin of each wheel of cheese. The cheese is then immersed in a water and salt-saturated solution for about a month.
The cheese wheels are placed on wooden tables for a natural drying and maturing. Outside the cheese dries forming a natural rind without being treated in any way and therefore remaining perfectly edible.
A casein plate with a unique, progressive number is put on each cheese, in this way we can know the origin of each wheel of cheese.
After twelve months the experts of the Safeguarding Consortium examine each cheese one by one to verify if they meet the PDO requirements.
Guarantees. Parmigiano-Reggiano production is regulated and controlled by law by the Consortium of Parmigiano-Reggiano. Raw milk, no additives, natural lactic ferments, minimum 12 months of aging process: these are the basic elements to meet the PDO requirements (Protected Designation of Origin recognized by the European Union). A mark is fire-branded onto the individual cheeses: this is the moment of selection and the granting of a certificate of absolute guarantee for the product.

Mises Daily Articles
Austrians in Academia: A Battle Plan
At the Mises University this year, I was again impressed at the depth of questions I received from students. They were seeking not only intellectual direction but also career advice. After all, the real world isn't only about ideas. It is also about finding your way in an often hostile professional environment.
Consider first the progress we've made. Twenty years ago, there were only a handful of Austrians teaching and precious few graduate students working within the tradition. Today, there are hundreds of faculty positions around the world, in all departments, held by Austrians.
That we can even talk about a viable professional career for Austrians represents enormous progress. Mises.org has a new tool that will permit us all to stay in great contact with each other: The Austrian Network. You need to sign up and become part of the community. You should also attend conferences such as the Austrian Scholars Conference to exchange ideas and make contacts.
Still, the ideological glass ceiling hasn't been fully smashed just yet. For an Austrian or libertarian, Misesian or Rothbardian, anarcho-capitalist or any combination thereof, there are no red carpets for you to walk on, and no one to throw rose petals at your feet. Prepare to face intense resistance at every step.
Remember that to be an Austrian is to have a vocation, which is a higher calling than merely adopting a profession, as Joe Salerno has said. You must know what you are getting into and prepare to work to overcome the odds. You must have a strategy.
1. To graduate students
Your first goal, heck, your only goal, is to get that credential, the Ph.D. You are not in graduate school, necessarily, to learn anything important. You can do that on your own time if need be. You are there to learn what your professors teach, and then spit it back at them during exams (there are of course exceptions to this; see my advice to undergraduate students picking a grad school).
You are certainly not there to convert your professors to Austro libertarianism. Let them suffer in their ignorance. Some few of them might even be open to argument along these lines, but the overwhelming vast majority of them will be biased against your views. Persisting in arguing your points with them is a good way to fail out. Keep your head down; don't stick it up and make it into a target. Study hard. Be prepared, especially in economics, for there to be little economic content in your studies, and an awful lot of mathematics and statistics (again, there are exceptions).
When studying for comprehensive examinations, the most important documents are past exams given by your university. Get them, all of them, if at all possible. If not possible, then get past exams from universities similar to your own, and ask your advisers about any questions you can't answer. Try to form a study group of 4–6 fellow students, but do plenty of independent work on these exams.Second most important: read the the publications of your professors who will compose and grade these exams.
While it is nice to be able to pick up your degree along with a few refereed journal articles, the latter are not absolutely imperative. Do not be trying to publish in such places at the cost of passing exams.
Most Ph.D. candidates who do not get their degree fail at the point of dissertation writing. Do not think you can coast at this point in your career. If at all possible, do not take on a job, or any other tasks while writing, or trying to write, your dissertation. Student loans make far more sense than employment. Usually, they are interest free; they are a lot easier to pay off when you land that assistant professor job. If you must take on an assistance-ship or working fellowship, try to get one where you do research rather than teaching. The former is more important than the latter in academia.
Select a topic that you want to write on, or at least have some interest in. Otherwise, this will become more of a burden than it would otherwise have to be. And there are lots of topics that aren't necessarily "Austrian" or "libertarian" that you will find you have an interest in. Find a dissertation advisor who is also interested in the topic. Before seeking out a dissertation advisor, find out his record in getting students through this process. If you find someone who took 6-years to finish his dissertation, and since then has advised on dissertations that also take an inordinate amount of time...AVOID such people like the PLAGUE. (If the advisor is new to your school, seek out his record at previous schools.)
In many universities, you are offered a choice not only of your dissertation advisor, but also of each of the members of your dissertation committee. Be very, very careful as to whom you choose, in such cases. At Columbia, where I got my Ph.D. (1972) you could pick all five members of your committee. But three had to be from within the economics department, one had to be within Columbia University, but outside of the economics department, and the fifth had to be a total outsider to the University. For my fourth member, I chose a professor in the Columbia Business School. He mentioned to me that he knew of someone interested in my topic (rent control) and asked me if he should ask that man to join my committee. Like an idiot, I said yes, without even thinking about it.
As it happened, this guy was a member of the New York City rent control administration, and loved this program. Practically the entire two hour oral exam consisted of this person and I arguing with each other. The committee then took three hours to decide upon my fate. Happily, I passed. Had I not, it would have meant another two years of my life, writing an entirely different dissertation. I heard later that this man wanted to fail me, but was convinced by the argument of the others that "Sure, Block's dissertation had all sorts of weaknesses, but we four have been through hundreds of such dissertation defenses, while this is your first one, and we say it passes." Luckily, he was convinced by this, since the vote had to be unanimous.
I don't say that the "fix" must be in before you enter that room where you defend your dissertation. (Ok, ok, maybe I am sort of saying that). But, to the best of your ability, choose dissertation committee members with whom you will not be at loggerheads; pick sympathetic ones. There are now hundreds of Austro libertarian professors from whom to choose if you need someone not associated with your University.
It will be nice if you get your degree with a few refereed journal publications already in hand. But this is a risky course of action. In the old days, dissertations were in effect books. Nowadays, they are a series of three or four semi related or even unrelated chapters, each of which is designed to one day become a stand alone journal article. If at all possible, try to write a dissertation of this type, as it will help you get material published in refereed journals.
2. Publishing.
You've heard of "publish or perish?" It is very true. The key to landing that first academic job, to getting tenure and promotion, is publishing. What kind of publishing? Books do not count. At best, usually, the publication of a (non text) book will not be held against you in getting ahead in academia. Appearances even in very good free market periodicals such as Free Market, Freeman, or electronic journals will not count at all. Do not rely on them for landing that assistant professor job, or anything else in academia.
Virtually the only thing that counts is getting published in refereed journals. For some lower level departments, any journal that appears in Cabell's is fair game (the lower the acceptance rate the better).
It would be undoubtedly nice to publish in the American Economic Review, the Journal of Political Economy or Econometrica, but these journals are very competitive, and have a very, very low acceptance rate. Journals take, usually, at least six months before deciding whether to publish your article or not, sometimes as much as a year (sometimes, believe it or not, longer).
So don't waste your initial attempts on journals such as these unless you have reason to believe (your mentor's advice) you have a good shot there. Which journals should you aim at? Go to the web pages of the professors employed at schools at which you are aiming your job search, and see what journals they publish in. Submit articles there.
Aim at journals with the same prestige within the profession as they appear in. If it is a regional university, the faculty will be publishing at moderately respectable journals. Remember, an acceptance from a lower ranked (high acceptance rate journal) is vastly preferable to a rejection letter from one at the other end of the spectrum.
What should you write about? Look at the journals you are aiming at, and use their publications as a guide. If at all possible, in your article cite material from those journals, especially that written by the editors of these journals. Otherwise, my advice is to write about whatever is the most fun to write about. This career is supposed to be an enjoyable one. Try to have several projects going on at any one time. If you run into writers' block with one of them, switch to another.
Don't agonize over something that is not coming along well. Sometimes, it is helpful to distract yourself (music, sports, whatever turns you on) when writing and research have hit a stopping point.
Sometimes, I have found it advantageous to co-author articles I am having trouble completing. Specialization and division of labor operate in academic pursuits as they do in all others. I try to bend over backwards to give more credit in such joint endeavors than less. Your co-author need not contribute 50% to the combined product to merit a co-authorship. Less, 40%, and even 30% will do fine, I have found. Sometimes, even 20%.
Here is a word of advice on revise and resubmits. It is rare that an editor will accept an offered piece exactly as is. Usually, the best you can hope for is that he asks you to revise your paper on the basis of the referee reports, and does not promise to publish your revised paper (rarely, in the case of only minor revisions, will he promise to publish a revised paper). In these cases, of course, you can never violate your principles to get an acceptance. If you put something in your paper you know to be wrong, it will haunt you forever.
But, there is a gray area; in my view, a large gray area. Within this area, you should do everything you can to satisfy an editor and his referees. You can add in a new footnote thanking them. You must write a detailed letter indicating what you have done with each and every one of their suggestions. You thank them at each point where you have revised you paper on the basis of what they say. Even where you reject their advice, you can directly quote them, and say something like, "According to an anonymous referee of this journal, 'yak, yak.' This is an important point. However, in my view, 'yak, yak.'"
The key here is to demonstrate that you have meticulously read their comments, and take them all into account, in some manner or other. I once had a revise and resubmit that required knowledge I was ignorant of, and unwilling to learn about. I grabbed up a coauthor. His contribution was pretty much limited to satisfying the editor/referee on this one point. He did way less than 20% of the work, whether measured in hours put in or words contributed. Yet, I was delighted with this arrangement; without him, that particular journal (a pretty good one in terms of mainstream prestige) would never have published the piece. Half an article in a prestigious journal is worth way more than a full one in a less prestigious journal.
What about rejections? Sadly, these are an everyday occurrence in academic publishing. Even people who later win the Nobel Prize in economics suffer rejection papers early in their careers. My motto when I receive a rejection letter is "Pearls before swine. The editor and the referees are obviously full of beans. It's full speed ahead, and damn the rejection letters."
If the critical remarks of the referees make any sense, quickly revise your paper in the light of them, and send out your paper to another journal. If not, send the paper out, immediately, to another journal. Don't let the grass grow under a rejected paper. The sooner you get it out, the sooner the editor will have had the paper for six months, the time I find it best to write a letter of inquiry as to the status of the paper in their refereeing system.
In economic journals, you can only send a paper to one journal at a time. In law reviews, this rule does not apply. You can send out a paper to a dozen, a hundred, or even several hundred law reviews simultaneously (do it electronically, it is lots cheaper). If you're not good with "whereas-es" get a sympathetic law school professor to be your co-author. I've been lucky in this regard in my career. Law review articles are not, strictly speaking, peer reviewed. The editors are almost always law school students, not professors. However, most economics departments will accept a law review article almost on a par with one in a (moderately prestigious) economics journal, particularly if one of your fields of specialization is law and economics.
Here's a trick I've learned over the years. When you send out an article to 300 law reviews, and get your first acceptance, do not immediately accept their offer of publication. Wait a week or two. Then, pick the most prestigious law review of all those who have accepted your paper. Another ploy: when you get your first acceptance, write to the few law reviews that you would really prefer to that one, and ask for an immediate answer (within 72 hours).
What about the other law reviews that have accepted your paper with whom you now cannot publish? Write them a note along the following lines: "I'm sorry, I cannot accept your offer to publish, as I have agreed to publish with another law review. However, since you liked my paper X, I am taking the liberty of sending you two of my other papers Y and Z. Please let me know if you find either of these suitable." Remember, if you followed my advice above, you've always got two or three other papers lying around.
What about "movement" journals for Austro libertarians such as Journal of Libertarian Studies, Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics, Review of Austrian Economics, Independent Review, Cato Journal, the American Journal of Economics and Sociology, The Journal of Ayn Rand Studies, Advances in Austrian Economics, etc? (I call them movement journals because none of them is biased against Austrian or libertarian themes; indeed, the very opposite is the case. The same, unforutnately, cannot be said for many journals).
If all of your publications are in these journals, e.g., you have none in any other refereed journal, the number of schools that will hire you will be limited. If you are aiming for a faculty position at an Ivy League school, you had better limit yourself to, say, 10% of your overall publications to journals such as these. The lower in (mainstream) prestige you go, the higher the proportion of such articles you can profitably have on your c.v.
Now that I have tenure, myself, I need not worry about such considerations, although there are still some slight pressures on me in this regard: if I want to be mobile, or get more of an annual salary raise, then I should look further afield for placement of my publications. As well, mainstream economists do not focus on these journals. If we want to have some impact on the profession at large, we should seek publication in "their" journals.
Speaking of this, the best luck I have had is with "Business Ethics" and "History of Economic Thought" type journals.
3. The Job Market.
I've been on both sides of this process. I've picked up a few things in the last few years on the hiring side. Forget about showing me your articles during an interview; that's what got you the campus visit in the first place, and is now all but irrelevant. I, and most people on the hiring side, just want to see what kind of colleague you'll be. Will you be fun to have around? Will you likely publish (so we can remain accredited)? Will we want to have lunch with you on a regular basis? Might you be a good co-author? Can I talk over a problem in economics with you that I'm having trouble with?
In order to do well regarding such considerations, my advice is to put your feet up on my desk (ok, not literally, but certainly figuratively). Relax. Enjoy the process. Can you talk econ speak in an informal way? Of course you can! You've done practically nothing else for the past 4–5 years while you were getting your Ph.D. Remember: at this point in your career, you are no longer a student. Now, you are a potential colleague.
Usually, on a campus visit, you will be asked to give a professional seminar. Discuss your dissertation. Remember, you probably know more about this narrow topic than anyone else in the world, with the possible exception of a dozen or so specialists, none of whom is likely to be in the room. If one of them is, defer, defer.
You will also be asked, typically, to give a classroom presentation to students. At my school at least, the kids vote on your presentation in competition with other job candidates. My colleagues and I take seriously what the students say. So, be entertaining! Tell a joke or two or three. Heck, one every ten minutes. Make them relevant if possible. The one about the economist and the can opener usually works. If you get blank stares, tell the kids that when a bear plays the violin, you don't enquire too closely as to how well he plays; just the fact that he plays at all is remarkable.
Similarly, with economists telling jokes. Make your presentations interesting. Involve the kids. If you are illustrating a demand curve, make it for beer. Ask two or three kids how much beer they drink per week at today's prices, and how much they would drink at different prices, and then add them up for a market demand curve. Kid around with them as you elicit information from them. Tease them. Better yet, tease yourself about these things. (You've got to go on the wagon…)
If you are illustrating elasticity, demonstrate to them that whether they favor the legalization of heroin depends, usually, on what they think the shape of the demand curve for this product looks like (high elasticity, they'll be against legalization; low, in favor). Tell another joke.
4. To Untenured Assistant Professors
Publish, publish, publish. And then publish some more. If you do intensive econometric empirical statistical work (this is not a contradiction for an Austrian, despite the views of some ignorant non-Austrian economists to the contrary) then write at least one article of this sort per year, plus maybe another philosophical one, too. If you do the latter, then, hopefully, at least 3–4 per year. The more the better. However, quality before quantity. Don't stint on the former for the sake of the latter.
Here's a list of don'ts. Don't publish heavily in non-refereed journals. Murray Rothbard always believed we had a duty to write for the common man, and I agree. But do only a few of these per year. Put most of your efforts into, you guessed it, refereed journal publications.
Do as little consulting as you can. There will be temptations here. There's big money to be earned. But, you don't get academic brownie points for this (well, maybe a very little bit, in some business schools). If you're desperate for money, and you must do consulting, then strive mightily to do that kind which, with a little extra work, you can turn into, you guessed it, refereed journal publications.
For example, try to stay away from applying present discounted values of interest rates to salaries foregone in disability lawsuits. At least as far as I'm concerned, it's really difficult to turn this work into pubs. However, anti trust cases might be more amenable to this goal.
Summer school teaching. Try to avoid this at (almost) all costs. I find that I do the lion's share of my writing over the summer. During the semester, I find I need momentum. If I teach on a M,W,F schedule, it takes me half of Thursday morning to figure out what I was doing on Tuesday afternoon on a paper I was working on then, and then, when I finally figure out what I'm writing about, I start to think of Friday classes.
And this is to say nothing of office hours where bright interested students lambaste me with questions, and stupid committee meetings. No, during the summer there is none of this. There are just seemingly endless days stretching ahead, where I can write and write and write. If you can't get an article or two done during an entire summer, you're just not really trying. Ok, ok, if you can get a teaching gig that lasts only for a week or two, ok. But most summer courses last for six weeks! Certainly, if you absolutely have to teach, then pile things up all in one summer teaching semester. Don't teach one course in each of two summer semesters. Teach them both all in one fell swoop, leaving the other for writing.
Unless you teach at a university that offers a Ph.D. degree about the best you can hope for in terms of teaching responsibilities is 3 and 3; that is, three courses in the fall and the same in the spring. Each course would meet for three (50 minute) hours, so your course load would be 9 hours a week each semester. However, there are some schools that demand 3 and 4, or, even, horrors, 4 and 4. Avoid such places if at all possible! I don't care how young and strong and committed you are to publishing; it is just well nigh impossible to get any writing done with such a heavy schedule. I'd pick a 3 and 3 school over one that demanded more even is the latter paid proportionately more. Invest a bit in yourself! Your time is precious. Don't spend all your energy on teaching. Reserve a bit for research and writing.
Another point, especially at the outset of a career. Take meticulous notes the first time you teach a course. Then, when you teach it a second time, you will be able to cut way down on the time it takes for preparation.
Assistant professors should try to gain wide support in their department and perhaps even in the college or across campus (but mostly within the department) and not to rely solely on patronage of one or a few senior people, who might leave campus before tenure time comes up.
It pays to keep track of departmental politics and perhaps even feign interest but, to avoid joining in religiously. Joining a warring faction, even if it seems currently on top, can be suicidal as the tides turn. Junior faculty are often subjected to pressure to join factions or to co-sign politically loaded letters. They ought to steadfastly refuse even if it is difficult and awkward. It is preferable to have people not like you too much, but perhaps hold out hope that you can still be recruited after tenure, than have a significant number of people intensely hate you for joining the "other" faction.
5. To my colleagues.
This advice-giving is a work in progress. I intend to leave it, permanently, on the Mises web, after revisions. Please send me criticisms, advice of your own, so that I can incorporate it, and this missive can be an improved vehicle for our younger colleagues. In fact, let's open a thread on the Austrian Forum and see where it takes us.
