Summary: Managerial Accounting: Information for Decisions provides a presentation of managerial accounting. Ingram presents managerial accounting as a key communication process for management decision making. Additionally, it presents service-oriented as well as product-oriented organizations to give accurate, timely information that is more pertinent to today's business environment. Managerial accounting is viewed throughout as part of multi-disciplinary management. Accounta ...show morents are part of a team of interdepartmental managers working together to resolve questions of costing, pricing, and production." "Important topics such as internal control, service industries and Japanese management strategies are included in expanded chapters at the end of the book to provide the most current coverage possible. In-text discussions draw the reader into realistic board room meetings where managers debate the merits of traditional and contemporary methods. This allows you to see how real decisions are made in the business world. Contemporary management accounting philosophies and methods (e.g., JIT and ABC) are covered, and then compared and contrasted with the traditional approaches. This draws attention to changes in concepts and their effect on management. Unlike any other book, Ingram presents accountants as part of a management team, interpreting accounting information for managerial decision making. Managerial accounting issues are related to service companies within each chapter and in the end of chapter material to provide a broader view of the business environment. The book's strategic focus demonstrates how businesses and organizations use managerial accounting to achieve operating andorganizational objectives. ...show lessEdition/Copyright: 4TH 06

While about 250 miles separate the cities, the distance in the standings are even more pronounced. A prime reason why was displayed Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium. Tyler Lyons held Kansas City to two hits over seven innings, and the Cardinals backed him with three home runs to beat the Royals 4-1. "He was very good and pitched different today," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "He had a little trouble at first finding his fastball, but he had his breaking ball going today, and that kept them off-balance. He made a good adjustment and found his fastball later." The Cardinals won for the 20th time in 26 games, while the Royals have lost 10 straight home games, tying a franchise record set in April 2012. "Just the life, the energy -- they're enjoying showing up every day to play the game," Matheny said of the Cardinals' success. "And you can tell they're really lifting each other up." The Cardinals (34-17) have the best record in the majors. The Royals (21-28) led the division on May 1, but they have lost a season-high seven straight and 18 of 22, scoring three or fewer runs in 15 of those defeats. So how does Royals manager Ned Yost hold his underachieving club, especially his offense, accountable? "What are asking me to do?" Yost said. "Take my belt off and spank them, yell at them, scream at them? What do you want? "I understand your question. Do we need to make changes? This can't continue. Somewhere down the road, we're going to have to make some changes. Are changes coming if this continues? I would imagine, yeah. We can't continue this. But to grab them, shake them, yell at them, scream at them, threaten to go down right now, it doesn't do the trick." The Cardinals led from the start, as Carlos Beltran hit a two-run homer in the first, his team-leading 11th of the season. Matt Carpenter and Matt Holliday homered in the sixth off Ervin Santana (3-5). Santana topped the majors last year when he surrendered 39 home runs; he's given up 13 through 10 starts this year, including seven in his past two. Lyons, who held the San Diego Padres to one run and four hits in his major league debut last week, was even better against the Royals. He allowed one run, walked one and struck out five. "I like not having to pitch out of the stretch, so that was good," Lyons said. After Billy Butler's run-producing double in the first, Lyons retired 17 in a row. Butler ended the streak with a seventh-inning single. Trevor Rosenthal struck out two Royals in the eighth inning, and Edward Mujica worked a perfect ninth to log his 16th save in as many opportunities. The Cardinals started the game Tuesday night as they did Monday, leading 2-0 after two batters. Carpenter led off the game with a single, and Beltran homered to right on an 0-1 pitch from Santana. Beltran was the 1999 American League Rookie of the Year while with the Royals. Yadier Molina hit a two-run homer Monday in the first inning. The Royals got a run back in the bottom of the first when Alex Gordon, who was moved back to the leadoff slot, walked and scored on Butler's double to left-center. It was Butler's 1,000th career hit, and he tipped his cap to the cheering fans as he stood at second base. It was the last time the Royals fans had anything to cheer about. "I'm appreciative of the fans," Butler said. "It made me very happy. The fans treat me very well. It's unfortunate it came in a game like this. "It's another tough game. We've had a lot of tough games. It's definitely getting frustrated. We've got to find ways to win. We're just not doing good offensively." The Royals went 4-14 with Gordon batting third, but they were 17-13 with him batting first. Lorenzo Cain hit third for the first time this season, while Butler moved back into the cleanup slot. Cain went 0-for-4; Gordon was 0-for-3. NOTES: RHP Michael Wacha, the Cardinals' 2012 first-round pick from Texas A&M, will make his big-league debut Thursday in a start against the Royals. Wacha, 21, was 4-0 with a Pacific Coast League-leading 2.05 ERA in nine starts with Triple-A Memphis. He will be the eighth rookie pitcher to appear for the Cardinals this year. ... Royals 3B Mike Moustakas missed his third straight game with a quadriceps injury, but he is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday. ... C Adam Moore made his first Royals start since his promotion Sunday. He finished 0-for-2. ... Rookie OF David Lough, who had four hits Monday, was not in the Kansas City lineup Tuesday against a left-handed starter. He struck out as a pinch hitter.

Gsp or jones are the only guys I see that even remotely have a chance of beating Anderson.

I spit my coffee out laughing when Ariel asked why LI'ers have fades..haha. I'm from LI and never realized that. So happy for him finally getting his house back to normal again. Good Luck Chris against the GOAT Silva.

is it just me or do these two look like there in love?
bobbo May 18, 2013
One of these days somebody is going to beat Silva just like Buster Douglas beat Mike Tyson. You never know when Anderson's reign will end. Could be Weidman, he could be the guy. I like him and hope it is him. It Doesn't mean he's better if he wins. Nobody is better than Anderson Silva.
We need a super fight with either Jones or GSP taking on Anderson Silva.

I would greatly appreciate it if you guys would stop giving your reactions to an event without telling us what the event was. I don't follow any news really closely because I don't have the time for it. One of the reasons I love this show is I find out about stuff I missed. If you're going to address something and not just ignore it please give us a brief overview. After a few minutes into this episode I just stopped paying attention because I had no idea what you were talking about.
ZipCrash's comments
I just started it yesterday and at this point I'm good bit past the quick look and I think the game is pretty great. The climbing controls can certainly be an issue at times, as seen in the quick look, but so far that hasn't been a deal breaker.
I kind of want to get this just so I can finally say that I've beaten the Oregon Trail.
@Animasta: Yea I try not to get bad because opinions are opinions but FUCK IT! FUCK SKYRIM! Everybody just caved because Brad can just argue longer. AHHHH!
I don't necessarily think SR3 is GOTY either but it's a hell of a better choice than Skyrim!
So glad somebody gave Portal 2 GOTY. Well deserved.
OMG. I lost my shit several times during that video. So far Jeff's is the best with Ryan's in a close second.
God damnit, Brad is going to fight for Skyrim as GOTY isn't he? I'm actually not looking forward to that podcast now but I just hope it doesn't win.
@Atwa said:
Yea I'm glad to see somebody put Catherine in their top 10.
Kessler's audio is soooo terrible.
It's insane how much this game looks EXACTLY like MW2.

At 9am this morning, WWE dropped the test bars and officially launched the WWE Network. I had managed to get through the red tape and sign up for my subscription just minutes earlier. I watched the station go live, in front of my eyes. It was a breathtaking moment.
I flipped through the menus and played around with the only episode of World Class Championship Wrestling that was available.
And then I turned it off, packed my bags and went to work.
I'm home now. I've read some reports of viewers having trouble accessing video, and the signup process has been a nightmare. I can't speak for the signup woes, as I didn't encounter any. However I can speak for the video experience.
The app layout is nice. Your mileage may vary depending on what device you're using, but overall it's fairly easy to find everything. Front and center is what's airing live on the network, and all you need to do is press play. You get the option to join in live, or to start from the beginning, which I love, since I live in a DVR world.
Below that are some popular suggestions, including what will air next. Currently, as I write this, Wrestlemania 1 is airing and the Raw Pre-Show is up next.
Across the top you have your menus. Home brings you to this very screen. Shows will list by category: Pay Per Views, In-Ring, Originals, and Vault.
Let me break this down a bit further immediately.
Pay-per-views have three categories under them: WWE, ECW, and WCW. Choose any one, and you've given an alphabetical list of every pay-per-view. Choose a pay-per-view name, say WWE Armageddon, and it will pull up the five most recent episodes, or in this case, 2008 through 2004. There's a button at the top to select the year. This will give you a list of all instances. In this case, the first airing of Armageddon was in 1999.
Repeat this for every pay-per-view, for each company.
The format is similar across the other shows and categories. In-Ring currently only has WWE programming - Raw Replays, SmackDown Replays, WWE Main Event Replays, WWE NXT, and WWE Superstars. The most recent episode of Raw appears to be from January 19th, 2014. Heading up to "Select Year" yeilds a mixed bag - it is not a complete vault. We are presented with 2014, 2013, 2012, then it jumps to 1998, then, strangely, 1993. 1998 only has two episodes (January 18th and September 27) and 1993 only has a total of 7 episodes - Episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9. Very strange.
To make matters slightly more confusing, none of these episodes are in chronological order. A small detail, but an important one. Not a huge deal when there's only seven episodes showing, but the list for 2013 is a terrible mess, and as far as I can tell there's no way to sort.
Originals currently only shows three shows - Wrestlemania Rewind, Beyond the Ring, and Countdown. They released these episodes early as part of the first day, but it's my understanding that these will have regular time slots, like broadcast television, and will be fleshed out as they air. Currently there's only one episode of each available.
Wrestlemania Rewind takes a look at the main event of Wrestlemania 1 - Hulk Hogan & Mr. T vs. Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff. I haven't watched the entire episode yet, but it's a documentary style program and I eat that sort of thing up.
Beyond the Ring is also a documentary section, and I'm not sure ultimately where it's going. The first episode is actually a re-airing of the Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart rivalry. This was originally aired October 24th, 2011. I haven't watched it yet. Not sure what else will be going in this spot, so the jury is still out on this one.
The last show is Countdown, and it's a list show. First episode is Coolest Catchphrases, and this too, will be updated like Wrestlemania Rewind. It's popcorn stuff and you get exactly the sort of thing you expect to get with this. Fun background noise, not much else.
The Vault is where things are going to get interesting. Currently it's a bit sparse, but that's to be expected. There's four sections: ECW Hardcore TV, WCCW, Legends of Wrestling, and Old School.
ECW Hardcore TV is, well, ECW, however right now they have about six episodes that span 1993 and 1994. No particular order here, but it's a fascinating look into something that I had no idea existed back then. And yes, this is the "Eastern Championship Wrestling" days.
WCCW is World Class Championship Wrestling. Sadly, only one episode here, from November 1st 1982.
Legends of Wrestling has 3 episodes from the Roundtable Discussions WWE did for their Classics On Demand station, as hosted by Gene Okerlund.
Old School has five classic cards from Madison Square Garden. The earliest is in 1975 and has Bruno Sammartino headlinging against Spiros Arion. The most recent event is 1991, with Ric Flair facing off against Roddy Piper.
Back to the top of the screen, it's worth mentioning that there is a schedule for today, tomorrow, and "Jump To Date." You can also perform a search for a show, and access your account.
The catalog is sparse for the vault, but I can see the potential here. Naturally WWE doesn't want to give us the keys to EVERYTHING right away. There has to be a reason to continue to subscribe. Access to every pay-per-view is a great place to start, though, and they've certainly done that.
Complaints? Well, I think the organization should be better. I like that I can look up these shows by pay-per-view title, then drill down the year. But, I should also be able to browse through them by year/month. I would like to flip through the pay-per-views of, say, 2012, and see one that I want to watch without known the name of the event in advance.
There's also the issue of video playback. Watching something from the vault seems to work pretty well for the most part, although it takes a bit to get it working fully. The program will skip a bit and buffer frequently, but eventually, it gets there, and it is as smooth as silk. Quality is just fine, too.
Watching the live programming, however, has been more inconsistent for me. I've been trying to jump into the Wrestlemania 1 broadcast in progress for about 10 minutes now, and it gives me frequent errors, telling me the video is not available. I just finally was able to get the program loaded.
When it's working, it's pretty surreal. What we have here is a wrestling fan's dream, and quite frankly it's awesome. It's glitchy, but that's to be expected, if you think about the scale of what they're getting accomplished here.
I firmly believe they will have a hit on their hands once the glitches get ironed out and the content flows. However, I have to be honest that it's not a bad idea to be skeptical. That being said, if you're reading this, you've probably already purchased a subscription, or you're about to. I'd say, go for it. Just be aware this is still a work in progress.
It's one hell of an awesome work in progress.

A Kelton Research study, commissioned by Autobytel, reports that 72.3% of US adult searchers "experience 'search engine fatigue' (either 'always,' 'usually,' or 'sometimes') when researching a topic on the Internet."
What should this statistic tell us?
- 72.3% of Americans should definitely put down the mouse and step away from the keyboard. Permanently.
- 72.3% of Americans are searching for the wrong things "always," "usually," or "sometimes."
- 72.3% of Americans have no idea how to operate a search engine properly.
- 72.3% of Americans are frustrated with their search engine experience, and this probably reflects on the search engines and not the vast majority of American adults.
While I was leaning toward D, Greg Sterling on Search Engine Land highlighted some of the other findings from the study:

Jackie Martin
on Dec. 31, 2011 :
Hi there, I'm the author -
Please check out the reviews for Burglar Boy on Amazon.co.uk (which has eleven 5 star reviews so far) and Goodreads (which shows thirteen 4 and 5 star ratings).
I did not have any say in the pricing of this book, so I apologise that it costs so much on certain websites. Most people buy it from Amazon.co.uk which sells it cheapest as a paperback and ebook for Kindle.
This story is about a neglected boy who finds affection at last. For sensitive souls and animal lovers.

Revised and enlarged editions of long-standing titles available
Many revised and enlarged editions of long-standing medical books were released at the inaugural function of an exclusive medical books exhibition at the New Students Book Centre, Karl Marx Road, here on Saturday. The organisers made available to medicine students books of a wide range of subjects under one roof.
The speakers on the occasion appreciated the efforts of the New Students Book Centre management in addressing the needs of medicine students as far as their subject books were concerned. They also spoke about the need for students to read general books as well so that they would stand to gain from their enhanced understanding of issues.
B. Babji, proprietor of the New Students Book Centre, said that they were offering discounts to students on select titles and all efforts were made to bring the revised editions of long-standing books within the reach of medicine students in the region.
He further said that their book centre was also opening book stalls to reach out to the students at their respective colleges at the time of the beginning of the academic year.
Delivering the inaugural speech, N.V.S. Chowdary, principal of NRI Medical College, said that it was lamentable that nowadays the younger generation was not showing much interest in the reading habit, which was so essential to get a proper understanding of the world around. He called upon the students of medicine to widen their range of reading and get a good understanding of the country's diverse culture and heritage instead of just confining to their medicine books. He praised the New Students Book Centre for bringing all kinds of medicine books within the reach of students at reasonable prices.
Wide range
G. Samaram, president of the Indian Medical Association, released the latest, revised and enlarged edition of 'Human Anatomy' by B.D. Chaurasia. Later, addressing the gathering, he said that medicine students of the present day were a lucky lot given the availability of a huge range of books on a whole variety of subjects while in the past there used to be very limited books.
P.V. Ramana Murthy, chief executive officer of Andhra Hospitals, said that medicine students had to go to Hyderabad for books, but this problem was solved to a large extent now.
He said that there was an elaborate collection of books at the New Students Book Centre.

Great salary and benefit package. They do every thing possible to try and show a high degree of professionalism aside for taking care of their professions. Very Cliquish environment. Its the only job I ever worked that despite high metrics your ascension is decided by how well the superiors like you personally.
Grow up. Start promoting based on metrics and merit. It is one of the few home building companies where the builder of your home could not lead, manage nor has a Idea of how you domicile is to be put together. Their success has been based on great construction managers not project managers. However, in this tough environment that have taken to remove the post of construction manager and outsource that position. The quality of a toll home has started to deteriorate at a tremendous rate.

"Awful Company to Work For! "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Toll BrothersPros
The best thing about work at this company is that the benefits are very good. They probably have one of the best benefits package in the industry.Cons
Wow, where do I begin? This company has no regards for its employees. They are very unfair and will forget that you have a family. Although we are completely understaffed, they continue to pile on more and more work that should be handled by upper management. Marketing does not do its job to market the communities. They instead claim that they are so busy and that the people working in the communities need to think of ways to market their own communities, which takes away from selling and time with customers. All this always leads to unhappy homeowners. In addtion they take FOREVER to build a home! For a small 2000 sq. ft. home they will take about 12 months. While other large builders can build the same home in 4 months. The pay is awful and the hours are long. Expect to work more than 50 hours a week and forget about having any days off.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Automate all of the reports and bring all systems up to date. Rotate weekends so employees can spend time with their families at least one weekend a month. Also, keep in consideration that everyone has a personal to take care of. It is not all about Toll Brothers.Doesn't RecommendNo opinion of CEO

Overall great training and great co-workers. Overall it was a great job and I was able to gain experience in many different facets of the industry. I feel the experience and knowledge gained outweighs the negatives.Cons
Long work hours. Little room for growth as the senior managers have been with the company forever and there are just not many senior positions. Monday evening meetings can last until well after 11pm AFTER working all day....complete waste of time and disregard for personal time. Project Managers WITH FAMILIES beware!! Be prepared to work long hours and many weekends at your families expense....no work/life balance.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Get introduced to the 21st century. Old technology has been replaced many times and will drastically improve company efficiency and performance. WAY WAY too much paperwork needed. NO MORE MONDAY NIGHT MEETINGS!!!! COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME!!!Doesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEO

Jenn Sterger , the alleged victim of the lewd Brett Favre text message, is suing her former manager, Phil Reese, to get back her e-mails and texts and to stop Reese from using the material in a book. Sterger filed suit Tuesday saying she never intended for Reese to have full use of the material.
NBA referee Bill Spooner is suing an Associated Press reporter over a tweet that reported Spooner promised a makeup call to Timberwolves coach Kurt Rambis. The league said Tuesday that it investigated and cleared Spooner after the accusation but advised against the defamation suit. Nonetheless, Spooner went ahead, and some legal analysts say he might have a chance to win.
TNT analyst Charles Barkley went off on the Knicks Monday, calling ownership a "disgrace" for raising ticket prices and then putting a damper on fans' excitement over the acquisition of Carmelo Anthony by saying, "In the history of all basketball, they may be the worst defensive team ever."
Meanwhile, Barkley wasn't himself during his appearance on CBS' NCAA selection show Sunday, bringing up the question of if the network is trying to tone down the act that made him so popular on NBA broadcasts.
ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit moved his family from Ohio to Tennessee last week, blaming the departure on some rabid Ohio State fans who apparently think the former Buckeye should never criticize the school. "Eighty to 90 percent of the Ohio State fans are great," Herbstreit told The Columbus Dispatch. "It's the vocal minority that make it rough. They probably represent only 5 to 10 percent of the fan base, but they are relentless."
Magic coach Stan Van Gundy, in defending suspended center Dwight Howard, on Monday criticized the NBA and David Stern, saying the commissioner doesn't "tolerate other people's opinion or free speech or anything." Stern fired back Thursday, saying he would talk to the team's owners about the coach's comments and that he does not expect Van Gundy to criticize him again. "I have a feeling that some modicum of self-restraint will cause Stan and the team for which he works to rein in his aberrant behavior," Stern said.
While Tom Brady was becoming a YouTube hit for his awkward dancing in Rio while wearing a boot on his surgically repaired foot, Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez was a surprise participant at the University of Colorado's pro day, throwing passes to childhood friend Scotty McKnight, a Colorado receiver. Sanchez, recovering from a shoulder injury, pumped up his pal by comparing McKnight to Pats standout Wes Welker.
Lakers guard Ron Artest weighed in on the Heat's crying saga by saying it's OK to let out your emotions. "In my psychology sessions, I sometimes cry with my therapist," he said in an interview on NBA TV. "We cry and hug each other; hold each other and talk. I think it's a good thing to cry and let your emotions out rather than keep it inside." Artest added that he hoped someone hugged the unidentified Heat players who cried — according to Miami coach Erik Spoelstra, who later tried to change his story — after Sunday's loss to the Bulls.
Two high school hockey coaches were suspended from their Canadian team for deliberately losing a game — pulling their goalie when up by a goal — to avoid having to play a tougher team in the next round of a tournament, creating a debate about the purpose of youth sports.
Tears were shed in the Heat locker room Sunday after another disappointing loss, according to Miami coach Erik Spoelstra. "This is painful for every single one of us to go through this, there are couple of guys crying in the locker room right now, it is not a matter of want," Spoelstra said after his team's 87-86 home loss to the Bulls, which featured LeBron James again missing a potential game-winning shot.
Chris Nowinski, a formal Harvard football player and professional wrestler who now serves as president of the Sports Legacy Institute and co-director of Boston University's Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, joined the Dennis & Callahan show Friday morning to talk about problems with concussions in sports and their long-term effects.

Exploring The Invisible Universe That Lives On Us — And In Us
By Rob Stein
Originally published on Thu October 23, 2014 11:49 am
The next time you look in a mirror, think about this: In many ways you're more microbe than human. There are 10 times more cells from microorganisms like bacteria and fungi in and on our bodies than there are human cells.
Scientists increasingly think that these microorganisms have a huge influence on our health. Without them, our bodies don't seem to do as well. We don't seem to be as healthy and might actually get sick more often.
But these tiny compatriots are invisible to the naked eye. So we asked artist Ben Arthur to give us a guided tour. Join me as we dive into the rich universe of the human microbiome.

Do you ask other to take your picture?
I've always wanted to get pics with characters, but I'll be going solo. If there isn't a photo pass photog there, can I ask the handler to use my camera? And if there is no handler, should I just ask the person in line behind me? Would that be rude?
There should always be a photo-pass photographer. If not. There is always a handler. So one of them will take it. I'm sure most people won't mind taking one of you if neither of them are around for some reason.
if you see a family trying to take a picture - offer to take it for them - they will generally ask to take yours.
Just came back from a solo trip to WDW and DCL. I had no problems asking handlers and people behind me to take a picture of me with the characters. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

I asked a lot of strangers and handlers to take my picture and they were always very nice about it!
When you're walking in to the park, you'll see the guys & gals that have cameras... An interesting fact is that, if you give them your camera, they will take your picture for you. It's pretty cool. They don't ask for a tip or anything, just hand it over and they'll snap away for you!
Thanks for all the advice! I actually just got back from disney on Friday. I had such a great time!
