Huntington is an island-platformed Washington Metro station in Huntington, Virginia, United States (though its mailing address says Alexandria). The station was opened on December 17, 1983, and is operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). Serving as the southern terminus for the Yellow Line , the station is built into a hillside; the south mezzanine, along with escalator access, is accessible via an incline elevator.
Originally scheduled to open in summer 1982, its opening was delayed due to both unavailability of new subway cars and the lack of a test track.[2] Construction of the station was complete by summer 1982,[3] and in September 1983 Metro announced the station would open that December as the new cars would be ready for service.[4] The station opened on December 17, 1983.[5] Its opening coincided with the completion of 4.2 miles (6.8 km)[6] of rail between National Airport and Huntington and the opening of the Braddock Road, Eisenhower Avenue, and King Street – Old Town stations.[5]
The station serves the suburban area of Fairfax County and is a popular commuter station, with over 3,000 parking spaces. It is located between North Kings Highway (State Route 241) and Huntington Avenue, with parking facilities and station entrances available off of both roads. Service began on December 17, 1983, making it the first station to open in Fairfax County, and the first to extend the system beyond the Capital Beltway. The station is located on the ruins of Fort Lyon, a Civil War-era fort.
Architecturally, Huntington station is different from the rest of the Metro network. It is partially elevated and built into the surrounding hillside. Riders enter the station from the north on a viaduct carrying the tracks from downtown Washington, D.C., but the south end of the platform is below grade. The tracks continue into short tunnels in the hill, allowing for a future extension. The canopy is supported by buttresses that bridge the tracks into the sloped walls of the depression in which the station is built. This type of station makes it similar to the Dyckman Street station on the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line (1 trains) of the New York City Subway. As a result of the unusual topography, there is an incline elevator at this station, the only one installed anywhere in the Metrorail system and one of only a handful such elevators in the United States. The WMATA is unsure why the design used such an elevator, rather than a traditional vertical elevator plus a horizontal walkway.[7]
The north (lower) mezzanine is home to one of Metro's few fully public restrooms, an automatic self-cleaning toilet manufactured by Exeloo, opened in October 2003. The automatic restroom was installed as part of a pilot project to determine customer acceptance and feasibility of the concept, as well as the impact on safety and cleanliness.[8] According to then-General Manager Richard A. White in the online Lunchtalk chat dated June 3, 2005, there are no plans to extend the program to any other stations.[9]
Bus routes from Huntington on Metrobus and Fairfax Connector serve much of southern Fairfax County.[10]
A new 1,424-space parking garage located on the station's east side opened on August 14, 2008. There are 3,617 parking spaces at the station. The former surface parking lot off North Kings Highway is the center of an ongoing residential and business redevelopment project. Parking at Huntington Station costs $4.85 all day on weekdays, but is free on weekends and federal holidays.[11]

Suns Can't Go Perfect Against East
The Phoenix Suns' drive toward a perfect road record against the East came to an unexpected end. Andre Iguodala scored 24 points, Willie Green had 20 and the Philadelphia 76ers never trailed Wednesday night in a 99-94 win over the Phoenix Suns, who lost on the road to an Eastern Conference team for the first time this season.
"We didn't want them to get the streak against us," Iguodala said.
The Suns won their first 14 on the road against the East, and needed one more victory against the lowly 76ers to become the first team to sweep its road games against the opposite conference. It was also the first time the Suns failed to even hold a lead.
"It's a nice accomplishment, but we expect to win," said Steve Nash, who rolled his ankle and scored 23 points.
With the Suns playing without Shawn Marion and Boris Diaw, the Sixers were able to pull off their most impressive win of what's mostly been a miserable season.
Amare Stoudemire had 31 points and 14 rebounds, and Raja Bell added 13 points. Marion sat out his first game of the season because of a bruised right hand and bruised left quadriceps suffered against Indiana on Tuesday night. Diaw had back spasms. Nash said his ankle was fine.
"Obviously we missed Marion. We missed Diaw, too," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said. "The focus wasn't there and we got a little sloppy at the end."
So the Suns matched the only other team that finished with one road loss against the opposite conference: The 1982-83 Sixers who went on to win the NBA championship. And the star point guard on that title team? Current Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks.
"Eastern Conference pride you know?" Kyle Korver said, jokingly. "Whatever's left of it."
The Sixers came out in the first playing more like Phoenix, surprising the Suns with one of their highest-scoring quarters of the season (35). True, these Suns aren't known for tight D, but their top-ranked offense scores in bunches and sometimes rallies to put away teams.
This wasn't one of those games.
Leandro Barbosa tried his best to spoil a rare Philly celebration, though. His 3-pointer made it 84-all with 4:27 left, the first time Phoenix tied the score all game. Andre Miller hit a go-ahead jumper from the right wing and Korver followed with a pair of free throws.
Barbosa buried another 3, only for Iguodala to come right back down and sink one of his own, bringing the fans in one of the largest crowds of the last few months to their feet.
Samuel Dalembert sealed the win with a wild, desperation fadeaway jumper. The shot, much like the win, was certainly out of character for the Sixers.
"They tied the game, but we stayed strong," Cheeks said. "We talked about progress all year long and this is one of those things we were looking for."
Dalembert had 12 rebounds and the Sixers won the battle of the boards, 50-37. The Sixers also made all 18 free throws.
"We're coming along," Dalembert said. "A lot of people didn't have faith in us."
With good reason. The Sixers are the third-worst team in the NBA.
Certainly it helped the Sixers that the Suns were without two key cogs in Diaw and Marion. And the Suns did rally from 18 points down in the third quarter to win at Indiana only a night earlier. But that didn't keep the Sixers from enjoying just their seventh win against the West.
Nash, who left briefly in the first half to get a sore ankle taped, sank a 3 and made a layup late in the third that brought the Suns within one. Instead of folding, the Sixers went on a 10-0 run that stretched into the fourth quarter and pushed the lead back to 11.
Korver surprised everyone with a fast-break dunk midway through the fourth for an 80-69 lead. Nash trimmed the lead to 82-81 and Barbosa would soon hit the tying 3.
Not long after that, the Suns' perfect road season against the East was over.
"It's a record we're proud of, but we just raout of luck tonight," D'Antoni said.
Notes:@ Green started for injured rookie Rodney Carney (shoulder). Carney will have an MRI on Thursday. ... Barbosa started in place of Marion. ... The Sixers, who scored the first 10 points, led wire-to-wire in two other wins this season. ..

|Home > Modeling and simulation of low power ferroelectric non-volatile memory tunnel field effect transistors using silicon-doped hafnium oxide as gate dielectric
The implementation and operation of the nonvolatile ferroelectric memory (NVM) tunnel field effect transistors with silicon-doped HfO2 is proposed and theoretically examined for the first time, showing that ferroelectric nonvolatile tunnel field effect transistor (Fe-TFET) can operate as ultra-low power nonvolatile memory even in aggressively scaled dimensions. A Fe-TFET analytical model is derived by combining the pseudo 2-D Poisson equation and Maxwell's equation. The model describes the Fe-TFET behavior when a time-dependent voltage is applied to the device with hysteretic output characteristic due to the ferroelectric's dipole switching. The theoretical results provide unique insights into how device geometry and ferroelectric properties affect the Fe-TFET transfer characteristic. The recently explored ferroelectric, silicon-doped HfO2 is employed as the gate ferroelectric. With the ability to engineer ferroelectricity in HfO2 thin films, a high-K dielectric well established in memory devices, the silicon-doped HfO2 opens a new route for improved manufacturability and scalability of future 1-T ferroelectric memories. In the current research, a Si:HfO2 based Fe-TFET with large memory window and low power dissipation is designed and simulated. Utilizing our presented model, the device characteristics of a Fe-TFET that takes full benefits from Si:HfO2 is compared with the same devices using well-known perovskite ferroelectrics. Finally, the Fe-TFET is compared with a conventional ferroelectric memory transistor highlighting the advantages of using tunneling memory devices.

Find the right doctor for you by searching through our online directory or by calling our physician referral line at (843) 402-CARE.
Here's a complete list of current and archived press releases, keeping you abreast of the latest news and information about our health system.
Charleston, SC (Jan. 30, 2014) – Roper Hospital, part of the Roper St. Francis system, is pleased to announce it has earned the Healthgrades 2014 Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence.
The award is the result of a two-year study conducted by Healthgrades, an online resource for comprehensive information about physicians and hospitals. More than 4,500 hospitals were studied nationwide and only 260 hospitals were selected. These hospitals represent the top 5 percent in the nation. Roper Hospital is the only hospital in the Lowcountry included in the 260 hospitals chosen by Healthgrades, and one of four in South Carolina.
"This recognition is confirmation for our patients that we are fully committed to the quality of their care. Our team works hard to provide the highest level of clinical care while maintaining an intense focus on the patient experience. It is our highest privilege to be entrusted with the care of our community, friends, and neighbors," said Roper Hospital CEO Matt Severence. "Many of our patients use Healthgrades when selecting a provider. This award is a wonderful acknowledgement of the Roper team's strong performance."
The study conducted by Healthgrades describes the top-performing hospitals as sharing a fierce commitment to continuously improving clinical care and having quality embedded in a hospital culture.
From 2010 through 2012, Healthgrades Distinguished Hospitals for Clinical Excellence as a group adjusted the rate of deaths by an overall 26.4 percent across 19 procedures and conditions.
"Recipients of the Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence have demonstrated better-than-expected quality care. For patients undergoing treatment for select common conditions and procedures at these hospitals, this translates to a statistically significant lower likelihood of death or experiencing complications when compared to the rest of American hospitals," said Evan Marks, EVP, informatics and strategy, Healthgrades.
Roper Hospital has been recognized many times for quality by Becker's Hospital Review, SafeCare Group, Medicare, The Studer Group, Blue Cross/Blue Shield Blue Distinction, and U.S. News and World Report (Truven Analytics).

A Land of Sheltered Promise (2005)

UK High Commissioner to Nigeria, Paul Arkwright has warned authorities to do something about Nigeria's growing population, noting that it could posed serious danger if not checked.
Arkwright gave the warning on Tuesday at an event organised by the African Peace Building Network of the Social Science Research Council and African Leadership Centre of the Kings College London in Abuja.
Arkwright said Nigeria's demography should be taken seriously because, at the end of the century, the country's population could be about 900 million. He said at that point, many Nigerians would not have electricity, jobs, or education.
"The biggest threat for Nigeria is around the demographic. Everyone talks about the demographic dividend and I firmly believe that is a possibility but there is a scenario of a demographic disaster," Arkwright said.
"And that is a scenario where a large number of young people, young children even more than currently are out of school. It is a scenario where girls do not get the education they deserve.
"It is a scenario where the current birth rate continues at six to seven children per woman.
"And that is a scenario where there are not 450 million Nigerians by 2050 but 900 million Nigerians by the end of the century who may not have enough to eat and may not have power or jobs and if peace building is looking into the future, the long term, I think this issue of demography should be looked at."
He said the UK is working to ensure good governance in Nigeria.
"Some of the areas we are focusing on here in Nigeria are around good governance, around anti-corruption, economic prosperity and how do we improve the business environment. They are around insecurity," Arkwright said.
"The UK has trained over 25,000 Nigerian troops in fighting Boko Haram in the north-east.
"The UK is working with France and the US to provide intelligence so that Boko Haram does not succeed. We are encouraging British companies to invest in Nigeria because ultimately, the UK will continue to strongly support Nigeria."
He urged experts on peace-building should to ensure that demography is looked into in the bid to proffer solutions to the challenges associated with it.

When things go bad, people hunker down. They jump into a fox hole and hope to ride out the storm. At work, it's easy to get a bunker mentality — the company is laying people off, times are tough, change happens every day and on and on. When all of that fear builds up, bunker mentality ensues.
Want to get a bunker mentality fast? Here's how:
Stay at your desk and continue working during breaks and lunch
Taking breaks and getting away from your work for lunch show that you just don't have the right caliber of work ethic. After all, you need to make every moment at work a productive one all the time. No time is needed to clear your head, reset your priorities, see how your coworkers are doing. Nope. Tasks, tasks, tasks. That's all that counts. Plus, staying at your desk all day keeps you "visible." Sure to help when it comes time to get laid off; your manager will know right where you are.
Go in early and stay late
Nothing like experiencing all that fear from layoffs, poor management and a failing company for even longer hours! Think of how much better you feel knowing that you can experience what you are hating for even longer periods of time. It does wonders for your confidence.
Besides, going in early and staying late helps you avoid exercise to reduce your stress and keeps you away from interacting more with your family and friends who support you. Going in early and staying late not only lets you experience what you hate for longer periods of time, you get guilt from it too for not spending time with your family. A two for one special!
Don't go to meetings of your professional organization
To get that bunker mentality faster, you need to avoid those interactions where you can improve your job skills. After all, the company thinks that what you are doing is fine and improving your skills will only help if you are interested in finding work someplace else. Why improve your skills?
Plus, you don't want to build a business network with people who could actually help you find a different position that makes more sense. No, you need to go this one alone. Besides, you are working all those long hours and going to these types of meetings just means you will feel even more guilty about missing time with your friends and family. Who would want that?
Eliminate your social activities
Seriously, your friends need to know that you are extremely busy at work. What can they say? You are working really hard right now and it is tough times at your company. Surely, that will generate a little bit of sympathy for you; who can argue about working hard?
Besides, doing those social things with friends is taking time away from you being able to recover from all of those long hours of work. Plus your very precious time with your family that comes from overwork. Yes, your friends will just have to wait. They'll understand that you will be available to them someday in the undefinable future. They'll wait for you to grace their presence again, I'm sure.
Don't talk about your work situation with your family
You have so little time with your family, why burden them with tales from work; they know that you love them and that you need to work in a place you hate. The time you spend with them should be all about having fun with them when you are there.
Of course, your son is starting to do poorly in school and your daughter doesn't want to talk with you much. But they'll get over it just as soon as you get past this rough patch at work. Or maybe the next rough patch at work; rough patches seem to be happening more frequently. But they will tough it out, kids are resilient!
And your spouse? Rock solid. No problem. We know what each other is thinking without talking and we support each other. Work, you know, has precedence. No problem. Really. No problem.
The kicker?
I'm not very good at satire. But go take a look at some of the advice out there about avoiding layoffs and you'll see these on the list. Frightening, but true.
The kicker is that it is easy to get a bunker mentality in this economy. Easy. It's the exact wrong thing to do. Get your breaks, watch your hours, build your job skills and business network and support your family and friends. It's your life. You can do the work and be the Cubicle Warrior who works for satisfaction and personal goals, not someone else's goals and objectives that no longer fit the corporate experience you want and deserve. Or you can get bunker mentality and just play defense with your job and career and hope for the best.
Your choice.

Monitoring Lipolysis Using the Glycerol-Glo Assay and GloMax Discover System
The Glycerol-Glo™ Assay is well-suited for monitoring lipolysis via glycerol release in cultured adipocytes. The assay works by correlating glycerol molecules to light production. First, a coupled reaction catalyzes glycerol to generate NADH. Next, a reductase enzyme uses NADH to convert a proluciferin reductase substrate into luciferin. Finally, Ultra-Glo™ rLuciferase oxidizes luciferin to produce visible light. The amount of light produced can be measured using a luminometer such as the GloMax® Discover. In this way, the Glycerol-Glo™ Assay offers rapid and sensitive glycerol detection. It uses a simple add-and-read protocol and can be performed in 96- or 384-well plates, making it amenable to both low- and high-throughput adipocyte cell culture applications.

A host of schools from across the region descended on Rydal Penrhos for a regional mathematics competition.
The annual United Kingdom Maths Trust's Junior Team Challenge took place at the school's Sixth Form Ferguson Centre on Thursday, March 22, which featured numerous different rounds and a special relay to quiz to finish off proceedings.
The home team of Juan Rajagopal, Henry Battersby, Damisola Animashaun and Ethan Bytheway performed superbly throughout the competition, and narrowly missed out on a place in the national finals after finishing in a very creditable second place.
This is the latest in a long line of impressive performances in various UKMT competitions throughout the year, which has seen a large number of pupils gain certificates from Junior, Intermediate and Senior events, in addition to qualifying for British Mathematical Olympiads and the Kangaroo stages.
Rydal Penrhos' senior team also won their regional heat and gave a good account of themselves at the national championships in London earlier this year.
The quartet had been working hard during the lead-up to the event on their problem solving skills with Head of Mathematics Rhian Williams and her dedicated staff, who have enjoyed another fantastic academic year of achievements across all year groups.
Deputy Head Tim Cashell, said: "We were delighted to host the Junior Team Challenge once again, and well done to all teams that took part in the event.
"It was also great to see our team finishing so high and they can be enormously proud of their achievements."
Ruthin School were crowned winners of the event, with Moreton Hall placed third.

HS/EFP launches Cinematographer's Lab
with JAY HOLBEN
Cinematography Lab
SEPTEMBER date TBD…
1p – 4p
With myriad high-definition video formats available in the marketplace, how do you know which is best for your project? How can you tell the difference? Which is better?
DV Magazine's technical editor, Jay Holben, will explain the aspects of high definition video formats and demystify the lingo. Learn exactly what compression codecs are commonly used, how to understand bit rates and color dissemination. Ever wonder the difference between 4:2:0 and 4:1:1? Why is one HD camera $250,000 and another is only $20,000? Yet the cheaper one seems to be better!? Leave the session having a keen understanding of the elements that make up high definition formats to be able to make more informed decisions about which format and which camera is best for your project.
Our Emerging Filmmakers Program (EFP) expands this year with a full line up of filmmaking seminars and labs.

The most common treatment for moderate to severe sleep apnea is continuous positive airway pressure or CPAP. If you have struggled with the symptoms of sleep apnea such as daytime drowsiness, headaches, difficulty paying attention, abrupt awakenings and loud snoring, your doctor may recommend treatment with a CPAP machine to help relieve your symptoms and prevent episodes of apnea.
When you have apnea, your airflow becomes blocked during sleep, causing pauses in breathing or loud snoring. You may have just a few of these episodes, or you may have dozens of them each night. By using a CPAP mask over your nose while you sleep, enough air pressure to keep your airflow open is delivered. The constant pressure keeps your throat from collapsing while you sleep.
Parts of the CPAP Machine
CPAP machines have three major parts:
The motor works like a compressor, drawing in room temperature air and pressurizing it to help relieve an obstruction. It usually also includes a built-in humidifier to provide moisture to the air you are breathing in, relieving dry mouth or dry nasal passages.
The hose transports the air between the motor and the mask.
The CPAP mask, which comes in different sizes and shapes, such as a full-face mask or a nasal mask.
Other Forms of Treatment
While the most common type of apnea treatment is a CPAP machine, there are other devices that may be used depending on your unique situation. For example, an Auto CPAP automatically adjusts the pressure while you are sleeping. Bilevel positive airway pressure units (Bi-PAP) are also available which provide more pressure when you inhale and less when you exhale. Your doctor will determine which is the best treatment for you.
Keeping Your CPAP Near You
Patients who obtain symptom relief from a CPAP are glad to have the device nearby to relieve episodes of breathing cessation or snoring. But the different parts of a CPAP or other PAP machine and other related supplies can quickly take over a nightstand.
The atHand Overbed Table offers a convenient solution to the problem of a cluttered nightstand. By keeping your CPAP and supplies on the overbed table, everything is together, organized and easily within reach.
The Convenience of the atHand Overbed Table
The atHand Overbed Table also offers plenty of storage and shelf space. All the supplies you need to keep your machine running smoothly including water, replacement filters and something to clean the mask with, can all be kept easily within reach.
The fact that you can adjust the height of the tray table or cabinets to whatever is comfortable for you adds to the convenience of this special table. Avoid getting tangled up in the hose by adjusting the table slightly higher. Avoid drips and splatters from condensation inside the hose by adjusting the table a little lower. You have the freedom to pick exactly the right height for your own situation, and you can sleep easier.

AddOn - DuckDuckGo search for Thunderbird
Discussion of features in Mozilla Thunderbird
13 posts • Page 1 of 1
I figured since there is a Google Search for Thunderbird, there could be DuckDuckGo Search For Thunderbird.
Maybe this will be included in a later release.
If that ever becomes available it will more likely be from an independent developer in the form of an extension, as is the Google search option.
https://duck.co/help/desktop/thunderbird has a downloadable file (not an add-on) you store in the searchplugins directory in the profile to add support for DuckDuckGo searches from within Thunderbird. But when Thunderbird changed OpenSearch a while ago (got rid of the side panel that let you pick between search engines and searches now show up in browser tab rather than a tab in Thunderbird) I can't get it to work anymore. They never updated https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/open-search and the DuckDuckGo web page doesn't state what versions of Thunderbird it supports so it rather confusing.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1076352 seems to describe what I had tried to do in a new profile. However, it talks about "an icon for DuckDuckGo should now appear in the narrow bar along the left edge of the window: " That narrow bar disappeared when the developers modified OpenSearch in Thunderbird. Nowadays you select the search engine in tools -> options -> general and it updates the context menu accordingly.
I stumbled upon that info on the duck.co webpage. I was like what the what?
Hee hee.
I guess when I saw "Show Folder" and I didn't see a show folder on the page, it totally threw me off.
It's working now.
I have an "Open Directory" button.
Thanks for responding.
I really liked that feature. Would you happen to know why it was removed?
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1120777 . It looks like they wanted the search to open in the users browser, which they thought would provide a better user interface than they could provide. Removing the narrow bar is a side effect of that decision.
But sadly, for me at least, they also removed the ability to add search engines. And, IMHO, the current selection leaves much to be desired.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes
Here's what I did to get DuckDuckGo to be listed as one of the default search engines in Thunderbird version 45.2.0.
1. Download and install the "Google Search for Thunderbird" add-on.
2. Navigate to your profile library. One way is as follows:
Help >> Troubleshooting Information >> Application Basics - Profile Folder >> click Show Folder
3. Navigate the following folders:
extensions >> firstname.lastname@example.com >> searchplugins
4. Save the following file into the searchplugins folder:
rename as duckduckgo-opensearch.xml or something similar, your choice, you can leave as opensearch.xml if you want.
Just be sure that the file extension remains xml.
5. Leave the existing file google.xml as is.
6. Restart Thunderbird.
7. Open the Options window select the General tab and select DuckDuckGo from the Default Search Engine list--you're good to go.
As a side note, any other opensearch xml definition files can be placed here now to add any other search engines that you might want to also use.
This worked for me. Thanks, geckoZine.
Thunderbird 45.3.0
Windows 10
Good to hear Humanist_Geek. I also tailored the default DuckDuckGo opensearch xml file to clean it up a bit (IMO):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
<ShortName>DuckDuckGo (SSL)</ShortName>
<Description>DuckDuckGo does not collect or share personally identifiable information. SSL protects searches between you and DuckDuckGo.</Description>
<LongName>DuckDuckGo (SSL) Open Search</LongName>
<Image height="16" width="16" type="image/png">https://duckduckgo.com/favicon.png</Image>
<Url type="text/html" method="get" template="https://duckduckgo.com/?q={searchTerms}"/>
<Url type="application/x-suggestions+json" template="https://duckduckgo.com/ac/?q={searchTerms}&type=list"/>
I'm not sure how the good folks at DuckDuckGo might feel about it, but...
Thanks! Finally. I know all this software is free, but still...
To add DuckDuckGo as a search engine (or to make it the default) in Thunderbird,
follow the instructions for adding Google to the search engine list, but either add or substitute the DuckDuckGo file
for the Google file that is mentioned in the instructions.
Instructions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ad ... pen-search
DuckDuckGo.xml file: https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-med ... eda6c911d1
I just did this in Thunderbird v. 52.9.1 (64bit) and it worked perfectly.
- Tip: Be sure to use 'save file as' to copy the .xml file to the 'searchplugins' folder instead of trying to copy/paste the contents.
Thinkpad Carbon X1 / Linux Mint 18.3 / (Windows 10)
Why reply to a thread that died on the 11th Oct 2016?
Thanks but...

Outsourced CFO vs Accountant: What's the Difference?
August 16th, 2016 by Justin Sadler
One of the most common questions we're asked at Sadler Accounting is about the differences & similarities between a standard accountant and an outsourced CFO. People tend to be far more familiar with the job of an accountant, and they generally know what a CFO's role is at a large company, but they aren't sure what an outsourced CFO has to offer.
If the question is "what's the difference between an accountant and an outsourced CFO," then the answer is pretty simple. They aren't completely different. All outsourced CFOs are accountants, but not all accountants can act as outsourced CFOs. An outsourced CFO is an accountant who goes the extra mile to know your business, advise important financial decisions, and act as an advocate to the government on your behalf. So, in terms of what they can offer a company, it's not that accountants offer one set of skills, and the CFO offers a different set of skills. Rather, they do the same tasks to a certain point, and then the outsourced CFO keeps working for you. The easiest way to visualize this is to break down the basic tasks that small businesses lean on both accountants and outsourced CFOs for, and what the CFO does that an accountant does not.
The Benefit of Either an Accountant or Outsourced CFO
Record Keeping
This is one of the core, base-level tasks that businesses look to accountants to accomplish. As businesses grow, so do their financial books. Most business owners aren't trained in accounting, and the need for astute record management becomes very overt. This is where an accountant steps in and makes sure the necessary records are being kept, and being kept accurately.
Timely Payment to IRS
Every year, thousands of business owners fall behind in their business taxes because they are simply too overwhelmed and under-informed to handle them accurately. The fear of the IRS, and specifically the fear of an audit, can be absolutely paralyzing, and is one of the most frequent pain points that lead to an accountant being hired in the first place. There's a reason that accountants are so busy during tax season. Any accountant worth their salt will make sure the IRS is paid accurately and on time.
Handling Past Due Payments Beginning to Stack
Oftentimes, business owners decide to reach out to an accountant when they're falling critically behind in their taxes and IRS payments. Accountants then swoop in, pick up where the business owner left off, and put them back on track to on-time payments.
The key takeaway here is that accountants generally come in and fix problems that exist, or take over tasks that the business owner no longer has time to do. In that way, accountants by nature are reactive. Conversely, outsourced CFOs are reactive when they need to be, but operate as a proactive partner to a business. The following are a short list of what CFOs offer that standard accountants don't.
What Makes the Outsourced CFO Different
Forecasting and Vision Casting
As a true partner, we get to know your business from the inside out. When we call ourselves your outsourced CFO, we mean it. We are able to meet with partners regularly to not just react to how the business is doing but actually plan for spending proactively into the future. In our opinion, it's impossible to measure business success without goal setting forecasting. Standard bean-counting accountants simply don't have time and don't know their client's business well enough to achieve helpful forecasting.
Acting as Trusted Liaison to the IRS
This is THE critical differentiator. As an outsourced CFO, we represent your business when you need to communicate to the government. For example, when taxes and finances need to be filed. So many business owners don't know the right questions to ask when tax season hits, and with the rules & regulations of the IRS how could they? With our wealth of knowledge and experience, we know exactly what needs to be prepared and asked in order to continue to build your business into an even more prosperous future.
At Sadler Accounting, we're passionate about being the proactive financial guide that every small business needs. Our hands-on approach is born out of a genuine desire to help small business owners succeed in a challenging marketplace made more challenging by complex tax rules and regulations. We firmly believe that the outsourced CFO model of business accountant is what's best for you, and encourage you to reach out to us as soon as possible so we can forecast your financial future, and address concerns that plague the present.

ABB's latest cable supply deal is with DONG Energy, a leading wind power development company. According to ABB, the high-voltage export cable system will transmit power from the Burbo Bank Extension Offshore Wind Farm in the UK."Offshore wind is making an increasing contribution to boost the share of renewables in Europe's energy mix, and this project will support the UK government's efforts in this area", said Claudio Facchin, head of ABB's Power Systems division. "ABB has considerable experience in executing such projects and the technologies to support the efficient integration of renewables into the grid."For this project, ABB's scope includes the design, engineering, supply and commissioning of the 25 km long, 220 kV AC alternating current submarine cable and the related offshore substation cable. ABB will also supply 32 km of AC underground cables and the associated substation cables as well as the cable joints, accessories and terminations related to the project.The Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm is situated on the Burbo Flats in Liverpool Bay at the mouth of the Mersey river, approximately 6.4 km from the Sefton coastline and 7.2 km from North Wirral. Burbo Bank receives the full force of the wind from the Irish Sea in the west, making it an ideal location for offshore wind power generation.

So, today is yet another provincial election in la Nouvelle-Ecosse.[Why do I drop in random French words? Who do I think I'm fooling? I had cute blonde french girlfriends do all of my french homework in high school.]
The oxymoronic Progressive Conservatives are currently in power, but, hopefully not for long. And I know that it is bad form to discuss religion or politics with folks, but this is my blog, suckas, so deal.
The poll opened at 8:00 am, and by 8:30 I was turning into the parking lot. I realllllllly enjoy voting Liberal. I just do. And after I cast my vote, I once again felt that familiar buzz of striking a blow for good over evil.
As I drove out of the parking lot, I noticed the "service engine soon" light on in the truck. I assume that the PC party is somehow involved.
I should mention that the Liberal candidate that I voted for today is a very good friend and a college roommate of mine. So, I know where the bodies are buried. I may have even tossed a couple shovels full of dirt myself. I kid. He's never done anything wrong in his life… except for the stories that will show up in my tell-all biography on him. Shhhhhhh.
Beyond this, voting Liberal is hardwired into my DNA. It's right in there with freakish height and lack of patience.
As I walk up to each ballot box, I can hear the shuffling of past generations getting ready to roll over in their graves if I make the "wrong" decision.
Not that I actually COULD vote for another party. If, say, Hitler was running for the Liberals in my riding, I'd just refuse to vote. Not that we'd nominate Hitler or anything. (The NDP might. I'm just sayin'.)
My grandparents were hardcore Liberals. My grandfather even let the Liberals use his house as their headquarters during an election. Or two maybe. (Which turned out to be where I met a super cute blonde french girlfriend.)
My grandfather's brother was even harder corer. He'd be willing to throw-down in the parkinglot of a polling station if someone said the wrong thing to him. He'd also get drunk, throw his fridge out of his house, and the next day need 4 people to help him bring it back in.
Back in the day, bottles of liquor were a staple of elections around these parts. Someone would pick you up, drive you to vote, then give you a pint of rum. But this, sadly like party patronage, faded. My grandfather's brother once made me go to the liquor store for him to buy some pints of rum. I was 16 at the time. Did I mention the freakish height?
I did have a falling out with the Liberal party a decade and a half ago or so. They decided to vote out a fellow Cape Bretoner as the leader of the party. I was heartbrokeneded. I stood at the convention yelling "Nooooo!" and "Shaaaaaaame!" with a friend of mine.
As it turns out, that was the same friend that I voted for today.
Full circle, bitches. Full circle.

Six Relationship Issues That Can Surface Around the Holidays
Here are six relationship issues that can pop up around the holidays . . .
1. Holiday spending. Especially if you're not honest about it, or you go way overbudget. Between presents, plane tickets, parties, and decorations, it's an expensive time of year. So make a budget together, and try to stick to it.
2. Resentment over where you're spending the holidays. They might SAY they don't care that they always spend Christmas with your family every year. But they secretly might wish they have a year with THEIR family.
3. Drinking that gets out of hand. We drink twice as much during the holiday, according to a recent survey. And that alone can cause drama.
4. Holiday traditions that clash. Just try to compromise, so one person doesn't hog the holidays. Either try to incorporate both of your traditions, or do a trade-off, where one person takes the lead this year, and the other person gets their traditions next year.
5. Drama with the in-laws. It's easy for family stress to cause problems in your relationship too. Especially if one of you already has issues with the other person's family. So just be mindful of it, and try to stay on the same team.
6. Gifts that don't measure up. Like if one of you puts way more effort into their gift, or spends more than the other person. That's why agreeing on a budget might be a good idea. Set a max of $50 or $100, and then stick to it.

Y-USA's Zoe for President Campaigns to Rattle the Vote National non-profit encourages voting with customizable and shareable video generator
CHICAGO (November 3, 2016) — In the final days before the 2016 election, YMCA of the USA (Y-USA) is looking to encourage everyone to get out and vote as a part of the Zoe for President campaign, and has launched a social media video generator to encourage voter participation. Zoe's Rattle the Vote video generator gives users the opportunity to create video messages from Zoe, the Y's adorable 1-year-old campaigner for all kids that can be shared with friends and family on social media channels.
Creating a customized Zoe video is an easy three-step process. It starts with visiting Zoe's campaign website ZoeForPresident.net and inserting a friend or family member's name. Then the videos can be shared via social media channels. There are four engaging videos to choose from, including one that has Zoe promising to eat all her broccoli if the recipient votes. The Rattle the Vote social media video generator enables people to send customizable videos now through Election Day, Tuesday, November 8.
The Zoe for President campaign highlights the potential the Y sees in all kids to grow up and change the world if they're nurtured properly and supported along the way. With the help of Y programs like academic enrichment, mentoring, college readiness, job training and more, kids have the opportunity to grow, to succeed, and one day, maybe even become president.
This program complements the recently announced Zoe's Kids Day Out initiative that many Ys across the country are participating in on November 8. Zoe's Kids Day Out ensures parents and caregivers can vote by providing a fun and safe alternative to taking their kids to the polls. Details about Election Day child care services including availability, registration requirements and associated costs vary and can be provided by contacting local Ys ymca.net/find-your-y.

Mark Delaney has brushed aside Villa's interest in Dutch international right-back Jan Kromkamp.
The 24-year-old AZ Alkmaar defender has been watched on several occasions by David O'Leary who may now prepare a summer move if contract talks with Delaney break down.
Delaney, has 16 months remaining on his current deal and is due to begin negotiations after Villa have dealt with Thomas Hitzlsperger's more immediate situation.
Delaney wants the board to hand him a five-year contract and he said: "One or two people have rung to tell me about the Dutch target.
"It's not something that worries me.
"I'm just concentrating on getting myself fit and getting back into the side. I've always said I want to stay here but if the club really are looking at new players in my position, that's football."
Delaney is targeting a return to first-team football against Middlesbrough on March 5.
The Welsh international had initially pencilled in the visit of Everton to Villa Park but will now aim to get himself ready for the reserve clash with the Toffees on March 1 before returning to first-team duty.
Delaney injured medial knee ligaments at Manchester United three weeks ago.
He said: "Everything is going well. I'm working hard and I can't wait to get back in soon.
"We are probably looking at a reserve game after the first team play Everton, then we will see."

Skip to 0 minutes and 5 seconds Hello again. In this video, we're going to look at how you can develop your skills for a range of activities. You've already thought about your brain, skills, values, and interests and thought about the importance of developing those skills more broadly and why it's important to think about your employability while you're at university. So now we're going to hear from some university students who study here at Goldsmiths and hear from them how the activities they undertook while at university have helped them to develop their skills and think about their future.
Skip to 0 minutes and 36 seconds Hi, I'm Gwen Barnard. I'm an international student from Austria us and I'm in my final year of my BA in art history. So outside of my studies, I have undertaken numerous activities. And I think the ones that I'm most proud of are probably a recent exhibition I curated with students from Goldsmiths in different departments such as design, computing, and fine arts. That was kind of one of my end of year projects. And then I was also a DAC for two years which is a departmental student coordinator. So I was acting as a representative of my department and the student body.
Skip to 1 minute and 20 seconds And my job was kind of to ensure that the student experience and the learning experience is mutually beneficial for tutors as well as students. And then I also had to write a couple of reports. Outside of my studies I have been partaking in the women's football team. I'm also part of Wired Radio where I help out and I'm one of the studio managers. So I'll go in, sort out the social media, things like that, retweet some of the shows, and also help the shows out, take some photos, different things like that. And also I work- I'm a volunteer at Amnesty International. So I just go in and help out at the coffee shop.
Skip to 1 minute and 59 seconds So I've been taught how to make cappuccinos, like mocha lattes, that kind of thing. So, yeah, it's been fun.
Skip to 2 minutes and 10 seconds These activities have helped me to develop a couple of skills such as public speaking, writing reports, also working in a team but also running a team, especially at the exhibition. Also during the exhibition we were hosting reading groups which really helped me to develop academically as well. So it also kind of reflected on my studies. These activities have helped me develop my skills in the ways like social skills, helping with my work, my essays. I'd say that I can be quite introverted and shy so having to go out, play football, going to different locations sometimes. You know, we're out of London and meeting loads of different people.
Skip to 2 minutes and 58 seconds I'm just sort of thrown into an environment where I just think, you know what? I have to be social and I'm enjoying it.
Skip to 3 minutes and 10 seconds The skills that I have developed the most at university has definitely been confidence, which reflects on everything I do such as doing my academic work or applying for jobs.
Skip to 3 minutes and 28 seconds The skills I've learned at university will help me because I feel more open and ready and able to go out and help other people because now I've been given so many different skills like people skills and teamwork skills and also individual skills. So I feel that I'll be able to work with the team as well as work on my own to achieve goals. For my future I'm planning to do a master's straightaway and I think the skills that I have developed throughout my undergraduate degree will help me to continue what I've already been doing. So, for example, I would like to do more curatorial projects, host more reading groups, for example, and write more.
Skip to 4 minutes and 10 seconds It was really great to hear from those students on how they've developed their skills in a variety of ways. At Goldsmiths in the career service, we support students with developing their skills in a range of different ways. One of those ways is through the Gold Award, which is a personal and professional development award which helps you to reflect on your skills throughout the year and gives you support to do so. If you want to find out more about the Gold Award, you can do so on the Goldsmiths website. As you've seen, skills can be developed through a variety of different activities and in lots of different ways.
Skip to 4 minutes and 39 seconds So we'll now go on to look specifically about how that could work for you. We'll look at, in particular, self-confidence and resilience. These are really important factors when you're thinking about your future career. Self-confidence is needed to be able to be clear about what your strengths are and communicate those effectively to a future employer. Resilience is important too so we can bounce back from any difficulties we might have which can happen to everybody. In the final part of this week of the course, you'll put together an action plan. So you'll think about where you're heading and the steps that you need to take to get there.
Skip to 5 minutes and 10 seconds What's really great about that is that you'll be able to get some feedback from your peers on the course and they'll be able to suggest other things perhaps that you could do and be able to support you. And that action plan should be able to help you move forward through university and beyond.
Student insight: developing skills
In this video, two students about to graduate from Goldsmiths, University of London, discuss the activities they have undertaken whilst studying, and how these have helped them develop their skills.
Many universities have ways to help students develop their personal and professional skills at university and honour those who do. At Goldsmiths, for example, we have the Gold Award.
Does the university where you study or plan to study have a similar award? Look up the resources that your university can offer.

By Michael Cook
A right-to-die case which has riveted Spain ended on October 9 with the death of a disabled 12-year-old girl. Andrea Lago Ordóñez had a rare degenerative condition which landed her in a hospital in Galicia, in the northwest of the country, for the last three months of her life. She was not intellectually disabled, but she only communicated with minimal gestures.
Her parents, Antonio Lago and Estela Ordoñez, with the support of a regional bioethics committee, insisted that further treatment was futile and that her feeding tube into her stomach should be removed so that her suffering would not be prolonged.
The hospital refused. It argued that this was against the law and medical ethics and that the child was not in pain. A lawyer who supported its decision pointed out that "a feeding tube is an ordinary and fairly common procedure – many older persons have one and with it can live for many years."
The regional health chief, Rocío Mosquera, publicly denounced Andrea's parents' request as "active euthanasia." She was sacked over her forthright remarks.
Finally the hospital changed its policy. The feeding tube was removed and Andrea was terminally sedated, with just enough hydration to keep her comfortable. The hospital declared that it was simply applying appropriate treatment in response to the girl's worsening condition. The hospital's critics interpreted it as capitulation to pressure.
Her parents said that although they realised that Andrea would die, "we weren't ready for the fact that when our daughter's body stopped responding, she would not be given a dignified death the way her life had been dignified."

In the 24 hours since news broke that pop icon [artist id="1102"]Michael Jackson[/artist] died suddenly on Thursday in Los Angeles, many of the legendary singer's friends, colleagues and family members have paid tribute to the late singer. On Friday (June 26), the memories kept coming, as Brooke Shields, Slash and little sister Janet remembered Jackson as a friend, brother, music pioneer and, obviously, the King of Pop.
"[artist id="1090"]Janet Jackson[/artist] is grief-stricken and devastated at the sudden loss of her brother," manager Kenneth Crear said in a statement to MTV News. "She is in pre-production on a film and is flying immediately to California to be with her family." Since Jackson released her statement, she has been seen in Los Angeles.
"My heart is overcome with sadness for the devastating loss of my true friend Michael," Brooke Shields, who dated Jackson in the '80s, said in a statement to MTV News. "He was an extraordinary friend, artist and contributor to the world. I join his family and his fans in celebrating his incredible life and mourning his untimely passing."
Jackson's longtime pal, Emmanuel Lewis, according to his agent is "sincerely devastated at this time," adding that the loss is "very personal and very emotional": "Former 'Webster' star Emmanuel Lewis, who befriended singer Michael Jackson in the 1980s, has been profoundly impacted by the singer's death on Thursday afternoon."
Slash and Jackson teamed up for a legendary 1995 VMA appearance. In a statement to MTV News, the former [artist id="846"]Guns N' Roses[/artist] guitarist said, "Michael Jackson was one of the most talented and dynamic performer/singer/songwriters I ever had the pleasure of working with, he was amazing. Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding his personal life in recent years overshadowed his unparalleled contributions to the music world, which is a tragedy in and of itself. But his music will live on forever no matter what and his memory will be adored and admired for years to come."
[artist id="1230523"]Kanye West[/artist] took to his blog Friday and posted a photo of Jackson and then left the simple comment: "Thank you for everything, Mike."
Legendary acts like Smokey Robinson and Tina Turner are also remembering Jackson. "It is always hard to lose a friend. I will miss Michael and all that he brought to the world through his music and his creative genius," Robinson told MTV News in a statement. "I know that his legend will live on and that the world will miss him dearly."
"I am shocked and saddened by Michael's passing," Turner, who worked with Jackson on the now-classic charity single "We are the World," told Spinner. "I, along with his millions of fans, looked forward to seeing him tour one more time. Now, may he rest in peace."
MTV will be paying tribute to MJ throughout the weekend with music videos, exclusive performances and calls and tweets from celebrity admirers and friends.

The recent hard fork has failed to protect the ETH huffer ecosystem as yet another serious vulnerability was discovered in the Mist implementation, affecting all versions "including and prior to 0.8.6".
– From the Ethereum blog:
Mist is leaks (sic) some low level APIs which Dapps could use to gain access to the computers file system and read/delete files. This would only affect you if you navigate to an untrusted Dapp, which knows about this vulnerabilities and specifically tries to attack users. Upgrading Mist is highly recommended to prevent any exposure to attacks.
The severity of the bug is listed as high, and can be triggered by merely visiting a webpage containing malicious code or dapp. It finally occurred to the Mist developers that it might be a good idea to add the platform to the bug bounty program, whose fund is sure to be rapidly depleted considering the pace at which new bugs are discovered in this flaming-tire-in-a-shitpit of a platform. Pope Buterin inspired many lulz this week by tweeting "Who says Ethereum is "failing"? Pulling off HFs in 6 days b/w 5 clients with no consensus failures in 1 year is success to me." Consensus seems to be that he is now using scented rose-tinted glasses to cover up the offending smells that continuously emanate from the project.

The "infrastructure" firm HNTB has won the city's international design competition for the new bridge that will replace the decaying concrete 6th Street Viaduct over the Los Angeles River. "The new 6th Street Bridge will be a world-class, iconic piece of Los Angeles infrastructure because of this international design competition and the community's involvement every step of the way," Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa says in a statement. "Los Angeles is where the world creates and innovates, and the selection of HNTB as the winning team reaffirms our ability to cultivate and attract the best and brightest in architecture, design, and engineering right here in Los Angeles." Villaraigosa and Councilman Jose Huizar had a media event out at the bridge this morning.
The 80-year-old viaduct is dying from the inside due to a chemical reaction in the concrete called Alkali Silica Reaction. The city's release says the current bridge "is subject to failure during a major earthquake."
Construction could begin in 2015 and finish in 2018. HNTB is based in Kansas City.
Here are a couple of other views of the new design. It appears they envision the bridge will be visited primarily by young white people.

Last year, Nintendo collaborated with Marvelous AQL to develop Pokémon Tretta, an arcade game where you collect "Tretta" (pictured above).
You scan your Tretta into the machine to call out the appropriate Pokémon, and then partake in a 3-on-3 battle once you've picked your party. If you win, the game gives you a new Tretta to add to your collection and use.
Now, Pokémon Tretta is headed to the Nintendo 3DS. The 3DS game is titled Pokémon Tretta Lab for 3DS, and is also being developed by Marvelous AQL. A Tretta reader device will be shipped for the game, although details on how the game works or differs from the arcade version aren't available yet.
Pokémon Tretta Lab for 3DS is slated for release on August 10th for 3,800 yen.

Proposals to build the facility on a site at Corse, near Tirley, Gloucestershire, were rejected by Forest of Dean District Council in 2006 because it was deemed the plant would tarnish the beauty of the rural landscape.
But officers have recommended that a similar development be approved at a planning meeting after the National Grid moved the proposed site 400 yards down the road - bringing it over an administrative border and under the jurisdiction of Tewkesbury Borough Council.
The neighbouring authority - which opposed plans in Forest of Dean in 2006 due to the proposed development's effect on the landscape - say the plant, which will carry up to 20 per cent of UK gas supplies, would serve an "urgent and important national need".
This is despite opposition from local residents, who fear the 6.6 hectare site will ruin the appearance of the countryside, and many of whom say they will not even benefit from the proposals because there are no domestic gas supplies in the area.
Opponents were also unhappy that notice of a planning meeting only arrived by post a few days before, and that just 104 members of the public would be allowed to attend the meeting despite almost 1,000 individuals making complaints.
The National Grid claims the gas pressure reduction installation - part of a £700 million programme to import liquid gas from Milford Haven - is essential due to the UK's increasing gas consumption and production in the North Sea having reached a plateau.
The above-ground facility will reduce the pressure of gas from the incoming pipeline to enable it to be filtered safely into the existing national pipeline network.
But opponents say the need could equally be served by building the plant in one of a number of alternative locations, where they say the harm to the landscape would not be so great.
Mark Harper, MP for the Forest of Dean, said: "While the decision for planning permission must be made by the local council, I still remain unconvinced of the case for the need or this location for the gas plant. In particular, I am not convinced that National Grid has properly considered the alternatives."
Joseph Gabbott, secretary of the Campaign Against the Pressure Reduction Installation (CAPRI) said: "It is a tranquil rural setting and this is an industrial development. It is out of place and it is against planning policies."
The National Grid said it had looked carefully at several site options in the local area before making its decision, and had modified its proposals several times to include greater landscaping and concealment of the site.
A spokesperson said: "Members of the National Grid project team have been in regular contact with the Council's planning team to discuss feedback and modifications to our application."
Mella McMahon, Tewkesbury Borough Council's Corporate Head of Borough Development, said any harm to the landscape would be outweighed by the "urgent and important national need for the development."

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes a photo is worth just one long, grating laugh.
Friends fans may not be able to agree if Monica could have afforded that massive apartment in New York City, the true identity of Ugly Naked Guy, why Joey's arm was mysteriously in a sling, or if Phoebe and Joey should have gotten married just to complete the Friends circle. There is one thing fans can all agree on, though, and that is this: Chandler Bing's (and, …er, Ross's) ex-girlfriend Janice had a very memorable laugh.
That laugh is so memorable in fact that it still haunts Friends fans years later. This scientifically-unproven fact came to light recently when a Twitter user tweeted a photo of Janice (played by actress Maggie Wheeler) and everyone who saw it immediately shuddered—and then tweeted about it.
If for some reason you have blocked out the memory of what Janice's laugh sounds like, some helpful person has compiled every single one of her laughs into a video.
