Strength | Speed | Agility
I help improve organizational performance through targeted interventions and coaching based on fundamental lean principles.
The level and type of engagement depends on whether the client seeks an immediate solution to a business problem, or the development of broader internal skills and capabilities.
I tailor my talks to each client's needs, but these are the most popular topics:
THE FIT ORGANIZATION: This presentation, based on my new book, Building the Fit Organization, presents the six core principles that will make any organization stronger, faster, and more competitive. By reframing continuous improvement as a journey towards organizational fitness, it provides a non-alienating cognitive and cultural on-ramp for the audience.
A FACTORY OF ONE: This keynote draws on the concepts from my Shingo Research Award-winning book of the same title. Attendees learn how to apply lean manufacturing principles to individual work so that they can get more value-added works done with less effort.
FROM FIRE FIGHTING TO CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT: This interactive session introduces the scientific method of problem solving that lies at the core of any sustainable commitment to continuous improvement.
I provide training on a variety of topics, including:
STRUCTURED PROBLEM SOLVING: This workshop guides participants through the process of creating of an in-depth, single-page understanding of a problem, including context, root cause analysis, countermeasures, implementation plan, and follow up.
PERSONAL LEAN: If you want to lead lean, you've got to live lean. This workshop blends classic time management principles with lean manufacturing techniques and the latest psychological insights to show attendees how to create more value and reduce waste in their workflows.
VALUE STREAM MAPPING: Value stream mapping is a critically important skill for analyzing and understanding complex (and invisible) office processes. In this workshop, participants will learn fundamental mapping techniques that they can immediately use at their jobs.
LEAN FUNDAMENTALS: What does "lean" mean, and where did it come from? This is a short introduction to the history of lean, its core principles, and the best way to approach it in your organization.
A3 Thinking: This guide provides an introduction to the fundamentals of "A3" thinking, an elegant and structured approach to root cause problem solving. This Infopack explains what an A3 is, why you'd want to use it, and highlights common mistakes.
Value Stream Mapping: A short primer on the basics of value stream mapping. This Infopack identifies the key components of a value stream map, and suggests how to introduce it to your organization.
Bridging the Gap: Sometimes the basics get lost in the heated discussions over the various ways to develop strategy. This short Infopack presents four key principles that you don't want to forget, irrespective of your preferred approach to making strategy.
Fit Organization: Is your organization fit or flabby? Use this self-assessment to identify where you're doing well and where you need some work in the six critical areas for operational excellence.
Organizational Efficiency: What people commonly perceive as time management challenges are actually symptoms of underlying problems in organizational efficiency. This assessment will help you identify where the root cause lies.
Individual Lean: Your organization may be well on its lean journey, but what about your own work habits? You might be surprised at how much waste in all its myriad forms is hidden in your own work. Take this assessment to learn where -- and how -- you can improve the way you work.

I founded Markovitz Consulting to help organizations become faster, stronger, and more agile through the application of lean principles to knowledge work. I've worked with non-profit and governmental organizations such as the New York City Department of Health, Planned Parenthood, and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, as well as a diverse roster of corporations such Starkey Technologies, W.L. Gore & Associates, Abbott Vascular, Clif Bar, Hydro Flask, and CamelBak.
I've keynoted conferences and delivered seminars at the Lean Enterprise Academy Summit (UK), the Lean Island Conference (Iceland), the Lean Transformation Summit (US), the Rome Confluence Conference, the Outdoor Industry Association Rendezvous, the Printing Industry Association Continuous Improvement Conference, and numerous Association of Manufacturing Excellence events. I'm a faculty member at the Lean Enterprise Institute and teach regularly at the Stanford University Continuing Studies Program. I also lecture at the Ohio State University's Fisher School of Business.
My first book, A Factory of One, was honored with a Shingo Research Award in 2013. I've also published articles in the Harvard Business Review blog, Quality Progress, Industry Week, Reliable Plant, and Management Services Journal, among other magazines.
I lived in Japan for four years and am fluent in Japanese. (Sadly, I knew nothing about lean at this time, and missed the opportunity to visit, study, and learn from Toyota while I was near the mothership.) I received a BA from Wesleyan University and an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Opinion: The Death Tax Cometh
Attorney Gayle Trotter explains the imminent rate hike and its impact. Photos: Getty Images
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
... I ... spring is coming to all Americans really of ... speaker brainer and President Obama to get the deal pretty soon and I hit a tells about his guilt rather deal thanks for joining us thanks for having me that people fall wash and policy may notice the general counsel of the of the Women's Forum but ... none of its year your day job or her other job you are the founder of other Schaffer and Trotter Missal a law firm that mainly ... helps small businesses and serve small businesses should say whether you help them earn a good sense for them to sell it but to a climax I must be held on its over certain so on ... you've been looking at this and that it has really got a lot of attention because a lot of the DC discussion right now in the media coverage is focused on income tax rates and we understand Lyon also bought ... a big public companies talk alot about reforming the corporate tax rate and would like see that as well ... but that would pretty dramatic change coming in the estate tax will we call the death tax what's a ... change and the thing is that we've had this crazy quilt of Monson regulations dealing with the federal estate tax ... for many years especially since two thousand ten when we had no federal estate tax for one year riding around with the Bush tax cuts a ten inch down and there was one year of no death tax rate and then shot up again I was going to shoot up again in twenty eleven in the modified a little so ... I think we got a graphic here but where are we now and where we had that very soon if there's no deal right now as an individual you have an exemption and five when twenty million dollars ... and if you're married you can take advantage of double that ... and it's called the portability ... of function in my if we go over this fiscal class ... and we don't wake up when she knew wafers two thousand thirteen where Guinea be hit with anything over the exemption of one million dollars having the federal government take over fifty percent of anything other than now okay so not only ... is the exemption going up pretty dramatically but the rate is well and we lose the portability so many people will have to go see a leader accounts insurance agents in order to take advantage of the full deduction exemption for both an ... official with the rates going up thirty five to fifty by which I read the exemption going up that's not even ... the half of it because ... you're also your legal fees a mess with Yemen for folks in your law toward the end I missed it this weekend and become more expensive of mortality and how ... what is the impact of on ... your client's business people you talk to you is this listening ... this is never happen though fixed or is there ... a sense of panic but what's going on out there this panic is they don't know what's going happen and it just shows that our entire federal estate tax policy is crazy ... and people cannot play and in the small businesses are the ones who are creating giants ... of fostering innovation all been businesses were small businesses once ... said we had and tax regimes that does not allow these people the play and ... to make investments ... in it not only hurts those businesses and those families that have hurt our economy at large ... now we've seen the news on big companies ... really dove ... tailing off toward the end of the year here in terms of the capital expenditure we had a similar message from under the mold of the general liked or the other day ... are you seeing this is well in the company's you look at is the isthe or a general reluctance over the last few months is this of ... impending on a date this coming that ... you ought to know what's gonna happen maybe I I don't build that new of factory me what ... what do you think that when you see him how it's it's ridiculous our tax policy is driving so much of our small business decisions right now ... and with all this doubt ... they cannot make decisions on investment hiring new people we want people to have jobs if they don't have people that they can train ... for small businesses like ... construction company used ... on dealerships ... things wary of getting people out there restaurant retail ... and they're having a real difficulty with this by not being above the plane and what did those for you when ... when the question goes to you ... you get into certain political protection business maybe you have an opinion or what what the answer when they say what what's really going to get harassed every client comes in and sits down with me for the past ten years and have a chart that said what a federal state taxes feeling is that in a plastic sleeve and I pad in front of them and I'd say this is one where its tenancy but everyone says this is can a change before two thousand ten and it didn't ... and the federal state tax when away for one year ... and then he came back from the dead ... and he really now need to be put six feet under ... that would be the hope and I notice so speaker banner of the lot of things I he's been doing lately maybe not not the best of ... the best moves in the world of work before trying to reduce to ... restrain tax rates reduce spending but one thing he did in late I understand in his so called plan B ... is say the of the estate tax the death tax rate is not going to change ... right now ... you know who knows whether this is going to be enacted but ... yes and ... and Democrats to come from areas where a lot of small business constituents our family farms ... they're saying that the estate tax is inherently unfair ... so Obama scanning get pushed back even from his side on the estate tax broken though I was saying this is ... related to estates and taxation the things that the death tax entirely of a week ago Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway bought back one point two billion dollars of stock ... from what they call the area along the estate of a long-term shareholder Allenson says the estate of a long-term shareholder I'd take that to mean the shareholder is now a bit of that with that the ... fear is ... that in your ears as dividends so ... without further detail ... and that and some people say women are Warren you keep them campaigning for higher taxes on the wealthy ... did you essentially ... did you do this a state of solid by allowing them to sell now before ... I kept gains taxes go up next year because ... the state's big cap gains taxes are so again and it has the right ... now the of the response from Mr Buffett if I can find the sheeting or other area ... is of ... the states receive a step the basis upon death and therefore the estate did not have again regardless of when the stock was sold now ... on this ... basis means when someone dies ... the ... the ... the the state is Makena cabin being gone all the way back to the time they bought it years ago but I becomes the new one with an import your taxed on for capital gains purposes yet ... not you study this ... closer than I do but it seems to me what he's saying it doesn't matter ... that ... but doesn't ... seem to be what I how I interpret the law what he's trying to invoke a general principle about the state tax policy ... to say that it doesn't cover this case but I think the statement is misleading ... because he has not revealed in a D tells about the situation and the estate to understand whether or not any capital gains would BDO ... he doesn't talk about the D pad down and the deceit and ... he doesn't talk about the value because you can either under state tax at regime you can either ... value the tax and the date of death or you can value it at the Alternative Minimum D which is six months after ... the good of debt ... so he doesn't give us an anthem for me sand and seems like is invoking this general principle to say I'll what this is always the case so obviously we can be doing this for tax purposes ... but likely that unless the stock tanks in two thousand thirteen ... they're paying less tax on it now than a win in their work and bought back in two thousand thirteen the person he can't know for sure Mr. know what the stock is going to do between now and with that for some items sold in twenty thirteen but that ... adds more information and will we wish him the Buffett of Berkshire stock is rising this year so they're there might be some gains there but to ... but as a general matter absolutely in the state can ... go take that dance that dance and could potentially save if they paid twenty two overs in twenty thirteen ... yes it's ironic that Warren Buffett and many of his billionaire co words ... are pushing for the death tax to be continued and raise the rainy ... and yet ... niche's commented as taxable term because his business the insurance business ... profits on people having to buy insurance in order to pay estate taxes or avoid some estate tax ... so he doesn't need to worry about the estate taxes because he has so much money that he and his family would never spend it in several lifetimes ... yet he benefits from interesting ideal place for joining us thank you ...

Enchanted Beach
There are a lot of great beaches in America yet many argue that the California coast offers the most famous, the most beautiful and the most enchanting beaches for its residents and tourists to enjoy. The greatest luxury is to actually live on or near the sand in sunny California but that comes at a very high price at nearly all of the beaches up and down the coast of the Golden State. But if you have the money, you are in for a treat as the weather, views, architecture and lifestyle are second to none.
Malibu is likely California's most famous beach. This 27 mile long beach community is like The Hamptons west in the summer but unlike The Hamptons – offers year-round perfect weather, water sports, incredible views and more. Pacific Coast Highway slices along the beach in ways that allows for one of America's most fantastic Sunday drives. If you can't make it there in person – trust me you've seen it before be it on Baywatch, in a TV commercial or in a Cheech and Chong Movie. Some of the nicest neighborhoods in Malibu include Broad Beach, Carbon Beach AKA "billionaire's Beach" Malibu Colony which is the closest thing to a master planned community like Beverly Park in BeverlyHills but is right on the water. Point Dume is another neighborhood that you likely know from dozens of commercials that have been shot there. A more private neighborhood that hosts $5,000,000 to $35,000,000 homes is Serra Retreat. Tucked right around the corner from one of the world's most famous surf spots, Serra Retreat is where Hollywood icons like Mel Gibson and others hide from the view of prying cameras and that pesky TMZ.
Malibu isn't the only amazing beach communities in California its only the most famous. San Diego has some pretty amazing beaches with luxury estates to match. Look to places like Del Mar, La Jolla and parts of Oceanside for some of the most sweeping beaches in California. With views to Catalina Island and seemingly to Maui, San Diego beaches are simply a spectacular place to buy a home no matter if its your primary residence or a second home. Slightly inland from Encinitas, which is another hip beach town, is Rancho Sante Fe. Lined with Eucalyptus trees and large estate lots this is the home to people like golfer Phil Mickelson and a second home for Microsoft founder, Bill Gates. The Bridges of Rancho Sante Fe is a master planned community with a wonderful golf course and stunning homes. While Rancho Sante Fe isn't right on the beach, its close enough for a short drive but offers equestrian, golf and other amenities that don't always come with a beach community.
Anyone that watches The Real Housewives of Orange County know how beautiful the setting is. The OC offers the modern conveniences of wide streets, lots of shopping and easy freeway access with direct access to some of the most amazing beach communities that you will ever see. Newport Beach and Newport Coast are possibly the most famous as people like Kobe Bryant now live there and commute to Los Angeles for their "day job". Dana Point is a sleepy little beach town with stunning home locations. Laguna Beach is possibly the best location in Orange Country as its artist community meshes beautifully with its cliffside beaches. While parking is hard to come by, Laguna Beach makes up for that in pure California beach drama.
Santa Barbara's relaxed style is hard to beat. From cozy beach coves to the hills just above the ocean, you could make an argument that Santa Barbara has the best weather of any location in America. Architecturally, Santa Barbara has some of the best looking Spanish or Mediterranean designs anywhere in California or in the country. There are stunning ocean front homes in Santa Barbara but the best neighborhood in Santa Barbara is Montecito which is one town south of downtown Santa Barbara on the 101 Freeway which bisects the city. Montecito isn't just one of the most magical seaside towns in California – it could be the single most beautiful neighborhood in America period. Expect real estate prices to match the hype as $5,000,000 doesn't buy you what you might expect in Montecito. You might want to come packing $10,000,000 or $20,000,000 to get a real estate. And as for the local country club, it was designed by Alistair MacKensize (Cypress Point, Augusta etc…) and its extremely difficult to get into. You have to be approved by each and every member of the club before being admitted. Now that's exclusive.
There are other enchanted beaches around the country. Miami's South Beach is no slouch. East Hampton has some of the biggest homes right on the water that money can buy. Martha's Vineyard and Cape Cod offer east coast style that is so very different than California. Despite the cliché, the New Jersey "shore" has some amazing locations including Long Beach Island, Avalon and parts of Cape May. Depending on your budget, location and willingness to travel – you can find a home on an enchanted beach near you be it for purchase or summer rental.

Thanks to the lovely Priceless Joy for hosting FFftAW August 8th, 2017 Edition.
Mike peddled with little effort yet his face was dripping sweat as a hot candle dripping wax. Each peddling motion on the tandem bike was agony.
"We have to stop, Tommy."
"Nope, I promised you we'd get you fit."
"What if I don't want that? And why hills?"
"Hills are the best for doing intervals which burn fat better."
"Who cares?"
Tommy frowned. "I care because I'm your brother. I realize you've been depressed, that finding the right medication has caused you significant weight gain."
"I also know antidepressants make you extra hungry and that eating makes you feel better since Beth's death."
Mike halted the tandem bicycle. "Don't ever talk about her."
"I will, someone needs to tell you the facts. The Doctor phoned you and I answered your phone, thinking it was important."
"I was right. The Doctor's concerned your blood pressure has skyrocketed. He says you're quite obese and that if you don't eat well and exercise you'll get diabetes."
Mike growled, turning to glare at Tommy behind him.
Tommy shoved him. "The Doctor told me so I could help you. Beth chose death so your healthy daughter could live. Tira is two and being raised by her grandparents. That isn't right."
"I'm in no shape to raise, Tira."
"That's sad. Remember your therapist said, in our family session, that most of your problems are set behaviors, that can be altered? Depression isn't to blame for everything."
Mike shook his head, disagreeing.
"I'll help you, Mike. We'll take it one day at a time."
"Todsy's day one, right?"
Tommy grinned, "Yep, and stop whining. I'm doing most of the peddling, not you."

Tendex Recalls P-Boost, NatuRECT Due to Undeclared Active Ingredients
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services received information regarding a recall of Lot# F51Q of P-Boost and Lot # F51Q of NatuRECT. FDA laboratory analysis on Lot# F51Q of P-Boost, which the firm also labels as NatuRECT, has determined that this product contains undeclared tadalafil. Tadalafil is an active ingredient of FDA-approved drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), making these products unapproved drugs.
The undeclared active ingredient poses a threat to consumers because tadalafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin and may lower blood pressure to unsafe levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease often take nitrates.
These products are labeled and intended to be used as dietary supplements for sexual enhancement. They are packaged in 1 capsule blister packs and 5, 10, 20, 40 capsule bottles. Both products are distributed nationwide to wholesale and retail customers and via the internet.
The full recall can be found at www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm375815.htm?source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery.

SAN ANTONIO, March 7 (UPI) -- Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili brought San Antonio back from a slow start Wednesday and the Spurs dominated the second half to defeat Chicago 101-83.
The Bulls led by as many as 14 points late in the second period, but the Spurs closed within five by halftime and then ran over Chicago during the closing 24 minutes.
Duncan and Ginobili both scored 18 points with Duncan adding 10 rebounds and five blocks. Tiago Splitter had 13 points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs, who shot 54 percent and bested the Bulls in the second half 54-31.
Chicago was led by Marco Belinelli with 21 points.
San Antonio has a 24-3 home record this season and is one of four NBA teams with four or fewer losses on their own court -- joining Denver, Oklahoma City and Miami.

Beloved for his supporting role on "Will & Grace," Sean Hayes is back in an NBC sitcom, this time as the leading man whose name is in the title: "Sean Saves the World."
The new multicamera comedy, debuting Thursday at 9 p.m. EDT, takes full advantage of Hayes' manic style and skilled comic timing, qualities that set this show apart more than its basic premise: a divorced father of a teenage daughter with a pushy mother, hectic workplace in online retailing and peculiar boss.
The freshest element of the show: like the actor who plays him, sitcom-Sean happens to be gay.
"If you're gay," asks his daughter (Samantha Isler) in the premiere, "then how did you and Mom have sex?"
To this, Sean replies with a staccato, shorthand answer: "Gay. Tried not to be. Was. Was again. Was one more time because it was not unpleasant. Am."
Sitcom veteran Linda Lavin ("Alice") adds grounding as his harshly devoted mom. Megan Hilty is retrieved from last season's noble failure "Smash" as a loopy office worker.
But the surprise ingredient that just might push "Sean" over the top is Max, the owner of the company. Mustachioed and stone-faced, he is played by Thomas Lennon (formerly of "Reno 911!" and a co-founder of the comedy troupe The State). The inscrutably bizarre way with which he interacts with his employees first addles the viewer (the same as his employees), then becomes a treat you look forward to: He could become the show's breakout star.
Even so, "Sean" is clearly built around Sean with its breakneck, almost breathless pacing, a heavy dose of physical comedy and plenty of silliness.
If it mostly steers clear of old-line sitcom shtick, the reason may be its creator, Victor Fresco. His credits include the short-lived but admirably oddball comedies "Better off Ted" and "Andy Richter Controls the Universe." It's a track record that suggests "Sean" could evolve beyond silly, and squarely into smart.
And keep Max a scene-stealer.FRAZIER MOORE

Why is atheist a bad word? How do we flip this word because I don't think I can (honestly) call myself anything else!
Views: 2167
In preparation for my appointment to the remaining term of a deceased village government trustee on December 3, I contacted the village clerk in advance to inform her I would prefer to take the affirmation of office, as provided by the Nebraska constitution, rather than the oath of office.
(She is also not yet aware that I am working with the folk in Lincoln on organising a chapter of the Secular Coalition of America here in Nebraska. Someone over here in the unpopulated western part needs to do it, so I guess that is me.)
We have never had overt discussions of my religious opinions (or lack thereof), as I don't bring them up unless someone else does first. (The JW's who have been working over the village lately astutely avoid my house - must have been the bumper stickers on our old car.)
On the other hand, we are the most popular house for the kids to hit on Hallowe'en - as an ex-Wiccan my wife and I always have the best candy.
The village clerk's response? "Oh, Travis (the village and county attorney) will administer the oath, and he knows you're an atheist, so he will administer the affirmation of office for you. By the way, you are first up on the agenda."
Even though this is allegedly the most religiously-oriented state outside the Bible belt, there is not much fun in being an atheist: not even a good mob carrying pitchforks and torches. They only care if I mow my lawn and pay my taxes.
And despite the divisiveness of the local board elections (an incumbent was ousted in a tie vote after a card deck cut), the board members still maintain I was the least divisive candidate to fill the term of its deceased member. Go figure. - James.
Coming from a tiny community in north central Kansas I can relate to much of what you say, at least I think I can. That was good commentary and fun to read.
I am sure I could inspire many, many prayers if I were to return home. They would wonder why I was still "a good boy," if I had turned to the other side.
I do digress. Good job and good luck with the affirmation. I did not know about such a thing.
All I know is that I haven't been able to come out as an Atheist to my religious friends yet. I don't even dance around the subject. I just nod my head when they say something about their god and change the subject. The most I could manage to say in that context - at this point in my life - is that I'm "not really religious." But more and more I've just been wanting to throw into conversation, "I don't believe in god."
But when I meet people who are non-religious I start dancing around the subject and then exclaim with glee I'm an atheist! When I'm sure they'll still accept me.
Atheist is still a bad word. But I hate Agnostic. It's such a cop-out.
I'm just beginning to learn about secular, humanist, and skeptic labels.
The problem is that atheism is defined by what it isn't. If there were no theists we would not even have to make note of our atheism.. So the problem becomes one of not having any positive aspects that it collectively stands for. While the claim might be made that atheism is somehow associated with logic and reason, it is not necessarily true. A person could easily be an atheist for an irrational or emotional reason.
Organizing atheists around a pure atheist flag is unlikely to provide sufficient leverage to gain ground in society. This is why groups like humanists and others gain a bit more traction as they have positive ideas (rather than negating) to rally around.
Good will and popularity come from what you do. Not from what you don't do. You don't go to Carnegie Hall for what you don't hear.
Dear spittin' image of Jesus,
Well said. Atheist is a one-word term that allows discarding without further thought. Suddenly, it makes me think of how we used to use the word "Chink" to lump all Chinese, and probably all Asians into one word. We didn't have to think, Chinks were lesser beings...end of story.
Atheists...evil...discard as not worthy of title human being.
Atheist as a bad word? I love it when a self-professed christian gets caught screwing others over and then I hear people say, "they were not behaving in a christian-like manner." They were behaving very much like a christian! They were screwing people over!! When someone tells me they are christian, red flags fly, bells go off, and sirens scream, all in my head.
A word can neither be 'good' or 'bad', it's just a word, any negativity springs entirely from the minds of those who hear the word and attach their own negative/evil meaning to it.
Here are some other words that are neither 'good' nor 'bad', christian, jew, dendrochronologist and costermonger.
Amen, motherfucker. There are no bad words.
Ab-so-tively! Nor are there any 100% "good" words. Even "Kitten" can be a bad word when people are too lazy or stupid to have ther pets spayed or neutered and end up with litters they can't find homes for.

Accounting Research BULLETINS Issued by the Committee on Accounting Procedure, American Institute of Accountants, 270 Madison Avenue. New York 16, N. Y. Copyright 1945 by American Institute of Accountants Accounting for Terminated War Contracts THIS bulletin deals with some of the problems involved in ac-counting for fixed-price war supply contracts terminated, in whole or in part, for the convenience of the government. It does not deal specifically with terminated cost-plus-a-fixed-fee contracts nor with contracts for facilities or services, although the conclusions reached herein may serve as guides for the accounting applicable to such special contracts. Contracts terminated for default of the contractor are not considered because it is expected that their num-ber will be relatively small and because the accounting problems arising therefrom are different. Except where the text of this bulletin clearly indicates otherwise, the term "contractor" is used to denote either a prime contractor or a subcontractor, and the term "contract" to denote either a prime contract or a subcontract. SUMMARY STATEMENT (1) The profit of a contractor on a fixed-price supply contract terminated for the convenience of the government accrues as of the effective date of termination. (2) For the preparation of financial statements subsequent to termination, those parts of the termination claim which are reason-ably determinable should be recorded; when the aggregate amount of the undeterminable elements is believed to be material, full dis-closure with respect thereto should be made by footnote or otherwise. (3) Under ordinary circumstances, the termination claim should properly be classified as a current asset and separately disclosed in the financial statements unless relatively small in amount. (4) Advance payments received on the contract before its termination may be shown on the contractor's financial statements subsequent to termination as a deduction, appropriately explained, from the amount of the claim receivable. Loans negotiated on the security of the termination claim, however, should be recorded as current liabilities. (5) All of the contractor's own cost and profit elements included in the termination claim should preferably be accounted for as a 2 0 3 April, 1945 NO. 25

Obamacare: How business won
Ron Pollack has been one of the White House's closest allies on Obamacare, going to countless meetings and strategy sessions when the bill was crafted and since it was passed.
But Tuesday night's news caught him completely by surprise.
Story Continued Below
"I didn't get a heads-up," the founder and longtime leader of Families USA said in an interview after the administration announced it would delay the Obamacare employer coverage requirements for a year.
Even some of the business lobbyists who had urged the administration to push back its rules were unprepared for the news that appeared on a Treasury blog Tuesday evening, when much of Washington had already left town for the holiday.
( Also on POLITICO: The politics of the Obamacare delay)
"Honestly, it was a surprise that it came this quickly," said Matt Haller, vice president of the International Franchise Association. "We certainly felt like we were making headway, but we didn't get any hints until yesterday."
Interviews with business associations and health care groups show an administration under huge pressure as a major deadline for President Barack Obama's signature legislative achievement neared. The business lobbyists mounted a coordinated campaign to convince senior White House officials that their date for requiring coverage was simply impractical. Ultimately, the White House agreed.
Neither the White House nor Treasury disclosed the timeline of their decision to put off until 2015 the penalties on employers that don't offer workers affordable health care. Those rules apply to businesses with more than 50 workers, the vast majority of which already provide health insurance to employees. Smaller businesses were, and remain, exempt.
Treasury itself acknowledged the rules — which were not finalized yet even though they were supposed to go into effect within months — were not simple, to say the least.
( Also on POLITICO: TOP 5 complaints about Obamacare)
"We have heard concerns about the complexity of the requirements and the need for more time to implement them effectively," assistant secretary for tax policy Mark Mazur wrote in announcing the delay. "We are working hard to adapt and to be flexible about reporting requirements as we implement the law."
For the health wonks and government economists calculating insurance takeup rates and subsidies, the delay is probably a wash. While there may be some winners and some losers, the overall number of people gaining health insurance in 2014 probably won't change all that much.
But politically, the announcement gave Republicans a fresh reason to declare Obamacare a "train wreck" that's nowhere near ready for prime time.
( Also on POLITICO: Key Obamacare rule for business delayed)
The president's health law was basically built on a trio of "shared responsibilities" — individuals have to get insurance, employers have to provide insurance and the government helps people who can't afford insurance.
On Tuesday, one branch got a reprieve.
For the business world, the timing may have been a surprise, but the planning had been meticulous.
The White House has held many meetings with business groups — sometimes about the health law, sometimes more general. Business lobbyists returned to the health law rules in both settings, time and again. They spent time with high-level officials, including Nancy-Ann DeParle, Gene Sperling, Alan Krueger, Melody Barnes and Valerie Jarrett, some of whom have since left the White House.
( Also on POLITICO: Valerie Jarrett: We're listening to business)
"I can't tell you how many times we met with them," said Neil Trautwein, vice president of the National Retail Federation, recounting his frequent conversations with White House and Treasury officials.
"I've got to give them credit for reaching out to us and working to understand our concerns, and I think eventually, not because of any special thing we did, they came to the view that this was not going to be ready for prime time," Trautwein added.
Several trade groups had fly-ins so Washington officials could hear from business owners across the country. The National Restaurant Association, the National Retail Federation, the National Council of Chain Restaurants and chambers of commerce were among those that took part, said Stephen Caldeira, president of the International Franchise Association.

Until now though there wasn't a version of the game for the Wii U, Nintendo's new console. Yesterday it announced Wii-Sports Club. This not only adds better controls and an online function to the classic five sports (Tennis, Bowling, Boxing, Baseball and Golf) but also gives it a HD makeover.
If you've not tracked with the games until now you may want to check which sports and features are available in the different versions — which all work on the Wii U.
Wii-Sports offers Tennis, Bowling, Boxing, Baseball and Golf and can be played with up to four Wii Remote controllers. It was often packed in with the Wii console itself.
Wii-Sports Resort offers Swordplay, Wakeboarding, Frisbee, Archery, Basketball, Table Tennis, Golf, Bowling, Power Cruising, Canoeing, Cycling and Air Sports. It required the MotionPlus attachment on each Wii Remote controller to be played. One MotionPlus attachment was included with the game.
Wii-Sports Club offers Tennis, Bowling, Boxing, Baseball and Golf. But like Wii-Sports Resort it requires the MotionPlus attachment on each Wii Remote controller to be played. You can play Wii-Sports Club online against players not in the same room and it also offers updated visuals.
Perhaps the biggest mark of success are other titles that recreate the Wii-Sports effect on different consoles. Sports Champions offers a more mature take on sporting challenges on the PlayStation 3 using the Move controller. Kinect Sports on Xbox 360 and Sports Rivals on Xbox One offer a hands free motion controlled sporting experience. An alternative take on video-game sports is the Sports Friends pack (PC/Mac/PS3) that includes the physical electronic sports game Joust.
Wii-Sports Club will be available to download from the eShop on November 7th. Individual sports can be purchased for £7.99 and a 24 hour pass to all sports for £1.75.

A small crowd of well wishers greeted intrepid travelers Tony WIlliams and his 10-year old daughter at Electric Avenue late Wednesday after their day-long travels up I-5 in their all electric Nissan Leaf. This latter day Charles Lindberg is a pilot himself who is thought to be the first person to traverse the West Coast Green Highway entirely by electric car from Tijuana, Baja California all they way to British Columbia.
The Williams family was greeted by Patrick O'Conner (OEVA), Ashley Horvat (ODOT), John Macarthur (OTREC), George Beard (PSU), Mark Brady (Business Oregon) and Charlie Allcock (PGE). Electric Avenue provided a much appreciated waystation, where the travelers plugged into the Eaton DC quick charger before continuing north to Seattle.
Well played, Mr. Williams... thanks for being a pioneer and thanks for stopping by Electric Avenue!

Surveillance photos of suspects in criminal cases, from shopliftings to bank robberies, routinely appear in the pages of the Aiken Standard and other media outlets; however, obtaining those photos is a routine that takes law enforcement officers hours upon hours of work, often involving multiple investigators.
Surveillance camera footage is one of the first things investigators look for at a crime scene, according to Capt. David Turno, a spokesman for the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
"… When people see things happen, their perception can be different from another witness," he said. "They might see one piece or another, but the camera will give you exactly what they were wearing, what they looked like."
A 22-year-old woman was physically and sexually assaulted while walking on Newberry Street early on July 12. One day later and one street over, two unidentified men robbed the TD Bank on Chesterfield Street. Police have since obtained and released photos of the suspects in both cases, and last week they arrested a man in connection with the assault.
Turno said investigators pored through hours of surveillance footage from multiple locations downtown to obtain photos of the suspects in both cases. He said the increasing prevalence of security cameras greatly aids law enforcement.
"So many places have them that you wouldn't think," he said. "Originally, you thought only banks have them, but now your mom and pop stores, businesses that don't regularly deal with a lot of cash, have them."
Cameras have become more prevalent partly because the technology has improved so much, and the devices are more affordable, Turno said.
"As we're looking for video, we have to go business to business to look for (cameras) and ask because it's so covert, we can't see," he said. "They are very small nowadays, and that's a huge benefit."
Rather than tapes, much of the footage is now captured digitally, which saves time and money for law enforcement and for owners of camera systems.
"I can remember when I was trying to distribute tapes, I'd have to drive the DVDs or CDs or tapes to the TV stations or media outlets and physically hand them to them," Turno said.
Business owners are always accommodating and cooperative with law enforcement in providing footage, and no one has reused to let officers review footage, according to Turno.
The footage is often downloaded onto a flash drive or saved to a compact disc. Other times, it can be emailed to investigators. After that, it's time to watch it, with the officer looking for any number of items, including a suspect, clothing, a vehicle or the direction in which someone is seen walking.
"We have some in-house people who are more technically knowledgeable, but, a lot of times, it's just hours upon hours of video, and an investigator just has to sit and watch it. That's happened in this recent case," Turno said.
Having footage from a variety of places and angles helps law enforcement because not every camera captures the same images.
"A person might walk by the outside of a building, and you might catch them on video, but the camera was pointed on the inside of the building to catch when somebody walks in," Turno said. "Inadvertently, you may have an image or a video, but it's not the best quality because it's out of frame."
Often, people may have their cameras cleaned or serviced, which can affect the position and quality of its shot.
"We do encourage, if people aren't sure about their systems and want us to look at how they have them, we'll be glad to send somebody down there to look at them," Turno said.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The Harvard
women's basketball team picked up its first Ivy road win with
a 66-40 victory over Penn Saturday night at The Palestra. The
Crimson (12-7, 3-2 Ivy) had three players in double figures, while
all nine players scored a basket in the game.
Junior co-captain Christine Matera scored 19 points for the second night in a row, equaling her career high for the third time this season. The Moorestown, N.J., native was 7-for-13 from the field, 5-for-8 from beyond the arc with two assists, a rebound and a block. Sophomore Brogan Berry added 12 points, seven assists and three steals in the win. Freshman Victoria Lippert had 10 points and four rebounds. Junior Jackie Alemany led the Crimson with nine rebounds.
Harvard scored the first basket of the game and after a lay-up from Penn's Caroline Nicholson tied it at 2-2, the Crimson scored the next 11 points to take a 13-2 lead with 13:51 remaining in the first half. Those baskets were part of 19 straight points for the visiting team during an 8:27 span. Harvard's defense held the Quakers scoreless for more than nine minutes and caused three straight turnovers and five during that time. Nicholson connected on 1-of-2 free throw attempts to give the home team its third point of the game with 9:19 remaining in the first. Jerin Smith put in the Quakers first field goal in over 11 minutes with 8:38 on the clock to make it 24-5.
The Quakers found their grove late in the first half using a 14-2 run to cut the lead to nine points (26-17) with two minutes left in the stanza. Markley scored two points in the paint and Matera drained a three on a fast break to snap the Crimson scoring draught to put Harvard up 31-17 at the half.
Harvard handed out eight assists, blocked three shots and stole the ball five times during the first 20 minutes of play. The Crimson shot 39.4 percent from the field during that span and held the Quakers scoreless from beyond the arc.
Berry started the scoring off in the second session as the Crimson cruised out to a 44-22 advantage after six minutes of action. Matera nailed two treys and Elle Hagedorn drained another to give the visiting team its largest lead of the night at 21 with 14:35 left to play. The Crimson continued to extend its lead to as many as 27 and didn't let the Quakers come closer than 22 in the second stanza.
Harvard shot 44.3 percent in the game after connecting on 50 percent of its shots in the second 20 minutes of play. The Crimson was 50 percent from the three-point line as well. Penn managed just 27.5 percent from the field and managed just 40 points, the least allowed by the Crimson this season. The Quakers won the battle on the glass, outrebounding the Crimson, 39-36.
The Crimson returns to Lavietes Pavilion next weekend for home games against Yale and Brown. Harvard will host its WBCA Pink Zone Event Saturday night to support breast cancer awareness.

Marlins bring in Dyson to bolster bullpen
MIAMI -- A worn out Marlins bullpen is getting some immediate relief.
On Sunday morning, the Marlins recalled right-hander Sam Dyson from Triple-A New Orleans. To make the roster move, Nathan Eovaldi was placed on paternity leave.View Full Game Coverage
MIAMI -- A worn out Marlins bullpen is getting some immediate relief.
On Sunday morning, the Marlins recalled right-hander Sam Dyson from Triple-A New Orleans. To make the roster move, Nathan Eovaldi was placed on paternity leave.View Full Game Coverage
Eovaldi started on Friday night against the Pirates, and he is still scheduled to pitch on Wednesday against the Cubs.
Players on paternity are given a minimum of one day and a maximum of three.
In the days leading up to the start, the team had been weighing fallback options in case Eovaldi's wife went into labor. They were not needed, as the right-hander faced the Pirates in a game Miami lost, 8-6, in 13 innings.
Before heading to the airport on Sunday, Eovaldi threw a bullpen session at Marlins Park.
Late Sunday morning, he headed to his home in Texas to be with his wife, Rebekah, who was scheduled to have labor induced later in the day.
"The plan for him is to make his next start," manager Mike Redmond said.
After the bullpen picked up five innings on Saturday, and 8 1/3 innings on Friday, the team is in need of a fresh arm.
Dyson, 26, pitched in five games for Miami last year. He is on the 40-man roster and offers versatility because he can pitch multiple innings, and even spot start.
Redmond joked about the timing of the roster moves, which brought in Dyson for a few days that Eovaldi wasn't scheduled to pitch.
"If we could just plan these guys' babies on when we need a fresh arm, we'll be in business," Redmond said. "It does give us a fresh arm down there when we do need it. Our bullpen has pitched a lot of innings. More importantly, we want him to enjoy the birth of his baby."
In 20 1/3 innings with New Orleans, Dyson has a 2.66 ERA with 15 strikeouts and seven walks. He last threw on June 9.
Previously pitching in the big leagues gave him a taste of what to expect.
"You get your feet wet and get some experience, and figure out what you have to do better," Dyson said.
Earlier in the season at New Orleans, Dyson was involved in an altercation with teammate Chris Hatcher, who also is with Miami now. Dyson sustained a broken jaw that required surgery on May 1.
"Everything is fine," Dyson said. "It was two months ago. It's definitely past us. We're just looking to help the team win and do what we have to do. That's the main goal."

How to install opensound.com drivers
I'm new to Puppy, running 2.15CE and loving it! One thing I haven't been able to do is get sound out of my semi-pro card, an M-Audio Delta44. They have opensound.com do their Linux drivers, and so I downloaded their RPM for kernel 2.6 (hoping that's the right one... extensive searching didn't help me). I tried installing it with
rpm -i
, but no luck.
Is there any way to do this? From what I understand, these drivers are the only way to get my soundcard running under Linux.
Thanks in advance!

Puppy 2.15CE comes with the CLI utilities
. If you open a console and navigate to the folder with your rpm file you should be able to simply type
and it will expand the contents to that directory for you. You should also be able to click on the RPM file in Rox and it should expand just like a .tar.gz file.
Then you can see where the files need to be placed and place them there manually.
Hope that helps.

Puppy's ALSA sound drivers fully support your card. Your driver is snd-ice1712.
Why install an old OSS audio driver?
If your card is not automatically detected at boot, run the sound wizard (alsaconf).

Post subject: Thanks to both of you
Thanks to both of you for these tips. I didn't know how Puppy handles RPMs, so this is quite useful. I assume this means that the RPM command isn't a full RPM... is this so?
Also, I had no clue that ALSA supports the Delta 44. I guess the fact that the manufacturer, M-Audio, refers people to Opensound led me to believe that this is the only thing that works with the card.

Post subject: One more question
When I did RPM -i on the OSS RPM, some files seem to have been created, but RPM -u seems to do nothing. Would it be safe to eliminate all files matching
(at least those that seem to be related to sound -- I obviously wouldn't delete a file named "Moss Cultivation")?

Post subject: Almost there
When I went to AlsaConfig it turns out that my Delta was already there, with the right driver! It just wasn't selected, because the default onboard sound had gotten priority.
I still am not getting sound, though. Here's how I have things set up:
- snd-ice1712 drivers installed
- ALSA 1.2.10 output plug-in selected (libALSO.so)
- Device settings / Audio device: Default PCM OR M-Audio Delta 44
- Device settings / Mixer: M-Audio Delta 44
- Mixer device: Tried several (there are almost 20!)
- Puppy Volume Mixer: Everything at full blast
- ZMixer: PCM at 100%, everything else (including Master) is at 0% and
I can't change it
Regardless of the XMMS settings I use, I either get no sound (though the EQ display shows sound being produced) or I get a "Failed to open output" for ALSA error.
Any suggestions?

You didn't tell us about the onboard sound card before. This is important, because setting up multiple sound cards with ALSA drivers can get a little complex. I think your /etc/modules.conf file needs to have separate entries for each card, like this -
alias snd-card-0 snd-...
alias snd-card-1 snd-...
Then there's still the problem that when you run various audio/mixer applications, they always default to the first card.
You could search the forum for information about all of this, or just take the easy (and sensible) option and disable your onboard sound card in BIOS.
Now erase your pup_save file and boot Puppy afresh. You will now only have to deal with the Delta44.
Regarding mixer settings, run "alsamixer" from the console. This is the audio mixer native to ALSA which will access ALL the card's advanced features.
And if you want to get into multitrack midi recording, search the forum for applications contributed by Dougal and plinej.
Multitrack midi requires a low-latency audio driver such as ALSA provides. You would have NO CHANCE of low-latency audio work with the OSS drivers.

Thanks for the assistance, tempestuous! I disabled the onboard sound in BIOS, deleted puppy_save, and started over.
The Delta44 was automatically detected by Puppy during "install" (guess that's the best word for it, though it doesn't seem like installing). I then used alsamixer to unmute everything (and there alsamix shows so many interfaces that you'd think I had an entire studio in my box!).
I can now play a wav file with aplay, and I hear everything perfectly. This is great, as it means that all hardware is connected correctly and the mixer is configured right, too.
What I still can't do is get any X app to play sound. I'm focusing on XMMS since it allows me to configure just about everything.
XMMS gives me two Output Plugin | Audio Device options:
- default
- M Audio Delta 44; ICE1712 multi (hw:0,0)
I have only one Mixer Card alternative:
- M Audio Delta 44
And under Mixer Devices, I have a huge array of options:
- 4 ADCs
- 4 DACs
- 10 Multis
- 2 Master Tracks
I also have the choice of using or not using Software Volume Control.
My math is wretched, but I believe the above variables have over 100 possible combinations if I'm not mistaken.
And I just can't find the right one!
What do I need to do here to get sound from a "normal" program?
(And BTW, I shut down the aplay terminal and alsamixer before doing this, to prevent conflicts).
Thanks for everyone's continued patience....

Argh... forgot to detail just how things fail right now (using XMMS):
- When Audio Device is set to "M Audio Delta 44: ICE 1712 multi (hw:0,0), I get a "Failed to open audio output: ALSA 1.2.10 output plug-in error". This happens no matter how I configure any of the other settings.
- When Audio Device is set to "default", XMMS seems to be playing the music (the graphic EQ bars move up and down), and no error is produced, but there's also no sound.

That's a good sign. I think it's a routing or device numbering problem, due to the fact that your card is quite sophisticated.
Here's a fallback solution; try xhippo+lamip audio player -
It's a simple gui controlling a commandline player, so it may work.
