Aid From Institutional Sources
Colleges may have funds of their own to supplement governmental assistance. Most money for undergraduates comes from the institutions themselves through grant, scholarship, loan, and work programs. These include:
- Alumni-sponsored awards.
- Privately sponsored scholarships.
- Athletic awards.
- General institutional funds used for financial aid.
These schools often rely on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine the parents' and student's contribution. Some institutions collect additional data about income and assets. View a partial list of school-specific aid.

Track List
Album Notes
Adapter: Olivia Newton-John.
Personnel: Olivia Newton-John (vocals); John Farrar (guitar, electric guitar, background vocals); Alan Parker (guitar); B.J. Cole (steel guitar); Steve Grey, Graham Todd (keyboards); Brian Bennett (drums); Vicki Brown, Pat Farrar, Clare Torry (background vocals).
Recording information: England.
Arranger: Olivia Newton-John.
Olivia Newton John's Come on Over is country tunes, folk ballads, and more. Her own arrangement and adaptation of the traditional "Greensleeves" is exquisite, haunting, and shows Newton-John is more than just a pretty face. Her hit catalog was already nine songs deep, and "Come on Over" was the tenth of close to 30 visits to the Top 40 in a 14-year period. Fred Rose's "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" and a cover of Dolly Parton's classic "Jolene" open and shut side one with the country side of things while the Diane Berglund/Jim Phillips composition "Pony Ride" is more of a piano ballad, nicely bridging the Western music with the song which would go to the top of the adult contemporary charts, the brilliant title track written by Barry Gibb and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees. "Come on Over" came right on the heels of one of the Bee Gees' most brilliant compositions, "Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)," charting just three months prior to "Come on Over." What this record becomes is a textbook on the separation between what is good and what is great. The album is quality stuff through and through, but even a good reading of a Beatles classic like "The Long and Winding Road" pales next to the majesty of John Farrar's simple production and Olivia's direct and heart-wrenching vocal on the title track. It is so moving that every other performance becomes a supporting act to the main attraction. It is also the only song that charted on the Top 40 from this consistent and entertaining project. "It'll Be Me" is the next best thing to "Come on Over," a Hank Marvin/John Farrar composition showing Newton-John's relationship to Cliff Richard's Shadows, drummer Brian Bennett providing the backbeat. Cliff Richard had his biggest U.S. success up to this point in time with "Devil Woman" as this record was charting simultaneously. It would be four years until Olivia and Cliff's duet "Suddenly," from the Xanadu soundtrack, made its splash. "Don't Throw It All Away" and "Who Are You Now?" are beautiful middle of the road performances here, and Farrar's production is really understated and sadly underrated. His grasp of the pop format is major league and worthy of note. Farrar's "Small Talk and Pride" and Harlan Collins' "Wrap Me in Your Arms" are elegant and perfect in their construction. Olivia Newton-John was a superstar before Mariah Carey and Celine Dion, and as beautiful as those pop divas can sing, it is John Farrar's understanding of his artist which makes these albums by Olivia so heartfelt and magical. "Come on Over" is a tremendous song on a very good album. More than just the Bee Gees meets the Shadows featuring Olivia Newton-John, Come on Over is a true pop classic. ~ Joe Viglione

Went and saw this last night. I thought it was as good as Hunt for Red October in the Jack Ryan series. It had the epic quality to it that the other two didn't quite reach. I was a little leery of a younger Jack Ryan, but Affleck does quite well, I thought. They also changed the plot from the book, but the changes work. At least they kept the major plot point in (Think Superbowl) which Harrison wanted cut if he was going to do the picture.
I liked how the scene changes used satellite maps. It reminded me there's ALWAYS somebody watching.
The part I didn't like was the Hollywood slo-mo run with the flames spouting up behind him. Very cheese.
The Godfather-esque sequence at the end raised my eyebrows a bit as well. Not bad, just...odd.

Stephen Procter came to Australia in 1992 as Head of Glass Studies at the Canberra School of Art, where he remained until his death in 2001..
The work in this exhibition is one of his larger scale sculptural compositions, conceived within a strict repertoire of abstract and geometric volumes. Proctor's facility with cutting and engraving is evident in the impeccably ground and polished surfaces of Double gatherer.
His mature works deal with pod-like forms poised in a state of delicate inter-relationship and equilibrium. The 'harmonic' passage of light through these forms is the artist's central concern.

Dear CPJ: Some malware from your 'friend'
We talk a lot about hacking attacks against individual journalists here, but what typifies an attempt to access a reporter's computer? Joel Simon, CPJ's executive director, received an email last week that reflects some characteristics of a malware attack against a journalist or activist. There was nothing particularly notable about the targeting. (Like many reporters, CPJ receives such attempts occasionally). The attack failed at the first fence, and my casual investigation into the source was inconclusive. There are no shocking answers or big headlines to draw from this attack. But it does illustrate a contemporary reality: Opportunistic assailants regularly shower journalists with software attacks.

The Bulldogs, 15-0 after a four-game sweep of Saint Joseph's over the weekend, leap-frogged Arkansas and Louisville. MSU is off to its best start since 2006, when it began the season 18-0. It's back in action Tuesday against Mississippi Valley State, then hosts Central Arkansas for a three-game series starting Friday.
A weekend sweep at Florida International off-sets a mid-week loss to Memphis, and Ole Miss rises one spot to No. 7. Ole Miss will return to action Tuesday with a 5 p.m. contest against Southeastern Louisiana at Swayze Field
North Carolina remained No. 1 this week, while Vanderbilt stayed at No. 2. Other SEC teams in the poll are South Carolina (6), LSU (8) and Kentucky (11).

Until recently, I honestly had no idea what LDAP was all about. My work has now led to me research it a bit and implement a small sized solution for the research centre. I still have no idea what LDAP is all about, but here's some scribblings I've gathered on the matter while we're at it. Getting LDAP to work on Linux with the OpenLDAP tools is largely a matter of figuring out the right schemas, filling the database, and pointing things at it. But why LDAP? When administering a network of more than trivial size, it soon becomes a pain to create and maintain user accounts. An LDAP server can be used to provide a central point of control for Unix and Samba accounts, as well as email and web server authentication. There's always more to it than meets the eye, but in this particular instance what we want here is to have a set of workstation machines in a private subnet behind a router - which incidentally acts as the LDAP server as well - having central authentication. Basically, all user login information is stored in the server, leaving only local root (and services) accounts in each machine for administration purposes. Moreover, we want each user home directory to be remotely mounted in an external file server (the HP MSA1000 storage array I've been blabbering about) via NFS. This last part will be covered in a forthcoming post. Onwards to the configuration… setting up LDAP involves configuring both the server and how many clients we want using LDAP authentication. In this case, we're working off a Debian system, configuration filenames can and will vary across different distributions. (The following is, again, in a personal notes style, if you come across this and need any further explanation, feel free to email me and I'll try my best to help). SERVER SIDE
# apt-get install slapd ldap-utils
Configuration of these, depending on your setup and environment, should be something along these lines:
Omit OpenLDAP server configuration? no DNS domain name: ldap.example.org Name of your organization: example_organization Admin password: <administrative LDAP password> Database backend to use: BDB Do you want your database to be removed when slapd is purged? no Allow LDAPv2 protocol? no
Now is probably a good time to setup some basic organizational/user/group information. This can be done either from scratch, perhaps using some app to manage LDAP, or using a basic set of LDIF (LDAP Data Interchange Files) files. See http://www.moduli.net/pages/sarge-ldap-auth-howto under "Set Up Base Information and Test User and Group" for more on this. One nitpick, also covered in the aforementioned guide, is allowing users to change their own details, including password, as is usually possible when the accounts are stored locally. This can be achieved by editing /etc/ldap/slapd.conf and adding:
access to attrs=loginShell,shadowLastChange,gecos by dn="cn=admin,dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=org" write by self write by * read
# apt-get install ldap-utils libpam-ldap libnss-ldap nscd LDAP Server host: 184.108.40.206 The distinguished name of the search base: dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=org LDAP version to use: 3 Database requires login? no Make configuration readable/writeable by owner only? yes The distinguished name of the search base: dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=org Make local root Database admin: yes Database requires logging in: no Root login account: cn=admin,dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=org Root login password: <enter LDAP admin password here> Local crypt to use when changing passwords: md5
In /etc/nsswitch.conf:
passwd: ldap files group: ldap files shadow: ldap files
In /etc/ldap/ldap.conf:
BASE dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=org URI ldap://18.104.22.168 # your ldap server IP here
Followed by /etc/init.d/nscd restart. PAM
# apt-get install libpam-passwdqc
Debian has a series of files in /etc/pam.d appended by common- at the beginning of their names, which are included by the other files in that directory for specific services. We can tell PAM to use LDAP for all of these services by modifying these common files. In /etc/pam.d/common-password, comment out and replace:
password required pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=4 max=8 md5
password required pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=6 difok=3 password required pam_unix.so use_authtok nullok md5
# try password files first, then ldap. enforce use of very strong passwords. password required pam_passwdqc.so min=disabled,16,12,8,6 max=256 password sufficient pam_unix.so use_authtok md5 password sufficient pam_ldap.so use_first_pass use_authtok md5 password required pam_deny.so
Read the pam_passwdqc man page for more about parameters you can give to it. In /etc/pam.d/common-auth comment:
auth required pam_unix.so nullok_secure
replace with:
# try password file first, then ldap auth sufficient pam_unix.so auth sufficient pam_ldap.so use_first_pass auth required pam_deny.so
/ In /etc/pam.d/common-account comment:
account required pam_unix.so
replace with:
# try password file first, then ldap account sufficient pam_unix.so account sufficient pam_ldap.so account required pam_deny.so
And don't forget to edit /etc/libnss-ldap.conf (which, by the way, on other systems is called /etc/ldap.conf) ! That would have saved me an entire afternoon… REFERENCES

An intern at the Commonwealth Foundation made a chart of all the Pennsylvania agencies, task forces, etc. He came up with 343 of them (many of which nobody really knew existed), and 2 more have been added by the new Governor. The chart is 7 feet long!
If this is what just one state looks like, can we imagine what a Federal chart would look like?
Makes a case for "streamlining" govt at the very least. How can you keep track of what $ is being spent if you don't even know what agency is getting it, or how many other agencies may be duplicating the same efforts. And it's much too easy to create a new entity to do something that is already within the parameters of one that already exists. But if nobody is aware that the earlier entity exists ... they create a duplicate.

text: URMC / Encyclopedia / Content Tennis Elbow What is tennis elbow? Tennis elbow is a repetitive stress injury of the elbow that happens when the muscles and tendons in the elbow area are torn or damaged. What causes tennis elbow? Tennis elbow is usually caused by repetitive activities that need you to extend your wrist, such as hitting backhand in tennis or playing other racquet sports. The risk increases as your child ages and plays harder or more competitive games. What are the symptoms of tennis elbow? The following are the most common symptoms of tennis elbow. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: Pain, especially over the outside area of the elbow Pain with wrist movement The symptoms of tennis elbow may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always talk with your child's healthcare provider for a diagnosis. Treatment for tennis elbow Specific treatment for tennis elbow will be discussed with you by your child's healthcare provider based on the following: Your child's age, overall health, and medical history Extent of the injury Child's tolerance for specific medicines, procedures, or therapies Your opinion or preference Treatment may include: Rest the area Ice packs to the area Stretching and strengthening exercises Wearing an elbow strap called a counterforce brace. It must be worn properly or it can worsen the condition. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines, such as ibuprofen Prevention of tennis elbow Some tips for preventing injury include the following: Perform warm-up and cool-down exercises before and after tennis play that includes stretching the muscles in the arm. Use appropriately-sized tennis equipment. Racquet handles and heads that are too big or too small or strings that are too tight or too loose can put more stress on the elbow. Evaluate poor tennis technique that may be contributing to the problem. Learn new ways to play that avoid repeated stress on the joints.

The finish line nears!: Merging Waverous's C++ changes into Stunt
Yesterday I had several blissful hours to hack away, applying patches to the "waverous" branch in my fork of Stunt.
I had to deal with a few more places in the Stunt code that differed from the Waverous code; namely, Stunt was forked from a later commit of LambdaMOO than Waverous was. (I started with the code base on Sourceforge, whereas Todd started with the code base on Github). There are several places that use a new macro, TRY_STREAM, which in turn uses the original TRY macro. I fixed the compiler error occurring after macro expansion (which didn't turn out to be all that hard, fortunately).
By midnight last night I had the project successfully compiling, which was quite exciting. But the linking phase was failing; I found I was missing a handful of source files in Makefile.in, like json.[hc], collection.[hc] and a few others.
I think the Makefile.in is now up to date and I just have to update the files for File I/O to make g++ happy. After that, there's about 100-150 patches to look at but the vast majority of them are specific to my goals with Waverous, like including the LambdaMOO and JHCore databases, removing scripts used during porting, adding documentation, helper tools like Neil Fraser's Moo Database Browser, etc.
I think there are a handful of patches to apply still that deal mostly with updates to the Autotools but I consider those to come after the milestone of a running "Stunt++" server. Todd announced my work on the MOO Talk mailing list this morning.

It's no rumor - it's true: there now a Universal Garden of Emuna, completely non-denominational, for all of mankind. If we want to save planet Earth of ours, then we should spread this book far and wide. There's no bigger mitzva than spreading emuna in the world. We say thrice daily in the "Aleinu" prayer, that we await the day when all living flesh will call Hashem's Name. Let's invoke Divine compassion by hastening that day. You can use you maaser (tithe) money to buy these books and distribute them among your non-Jewish neighbors. One of the Arab judges in the Jerusalem Municipal Court read this book and told Rav Shalom that he should translate it into Arabic too. True emuna has the power to bring peace to mankind. There's no other solution. Does life make sense to you? Are you looking for answers to life's riddles? Would you like to get rid of stress, anxiety, and depression? Do you desire a stronger connection with God in a non-denominational way? If you answer "yes" to two or more of the above questions, the Universal Garden of Emuna is just the book for you. Up until now, there was really no such thing as a practical guide to life. With The Universal Garden of Emuna, you'll be one of those fortunate individuals who succeeds in learning that emuna – pure and simple faith - is the master key to opening any door. With emuna, you'll see how stress and despair transform into a life of satisfaction, challenge, and accomplishment. More than anything, emuna will grant you charisma and social success, full realization of your personal potential, happiness and inner peace. What could be better? Once you read this book, you won't know how you ever lived without it. Discover the power of emuna and its powerful tools for dealing with life's challenges.

Don Giovanni is a treat for all the senses
MADISON, Wis. - You have to hand it to Don Juan; the dude was quite a hit with the ladies.
And when the Madison Opera took up his cause in Mozart's "Don Giovanni" this weekend, the legendary libertine showed why.
Kelly Markgraf, who made his Madison Opera debut Friday, filled the Overture Center stage, not just with his voice but with never-stop action. It wasn't hard to see that the women of the cast might fall in love with him.
The story involves the nobleman Don Giovanni, who boasts proudly of his hundreds of female conquests and who begins the opera by killing the Commendatore, father of his latest prize.
His servant, Leporello, is appalled by Giovanni's excesses, but sticks by him with some degree of loyalty as Giovanni goes on to betray a former lover, Donna Elvira, tries to seduce a young bride, Zerlina, and casts a hungry eye at every other woman on stage.
Matt Boehler, Leporello, may have the best voice in the cast and he is convincing in his role. Boehler was a featured artist at last summer's Opera in the Park.
Caitlin Lynch, Elvira, also sang at Opera in the Park last summer and does a wonderful job as Elvira, a woman who can't stop refalling in love with Giovanni.
Rounding out the cast are John Arnold, singing the role of Masetto (he formerly sang the role of Galileo for the opera), Zerlina's jealous fiancé; Elizabeth Caballero, Donna Anna, the woman Giovanni seduced in the opening moments of the opera; Wesley Rogers, Don Ottavio, Donna Anna's real fiancé – see, it gets a bit confusing; and Nathan Stark, the Commendatore.
Now, here's the thing about this opera: None of these roles is minor. Each of the performers had to be on his or her game to keep up. They did.
As did the Madison Symphony. Guest conductor Joseph Mechavich kept Mozart's familiar music in play. Given all the action on stage and given the universality of Mozart, it is easy to overlook just how good this orchestra is.
Once again – as it was in the midwinter performances of "Acis and Galeteria," the staging was remarkable.
The set consisted essentially of some rolling walls in front of a huge flower that filled the stage. Rather than having scene changes, actors just pushed the walls back and forth, changing the area of emphasis without changing a bit of the set. The lighting of the flower changed with the mood of the music. It was all very imaginative and it all worked.
Given that Giovanni is escorted to Hell in the final scene, the fact that the theater carried a not-subtle aroma of molten asphalt from the construction of the new Madison Public Library next door, actually added to the authenticity of the opera.
So, what we have is yet another first-rate performance, one well worth seeing.

Tax Services
We'll help you navigate the global tax landscape
The business and tax landscapes have changed dramatically, and the pace and complexity of change continues to increase. Governments are tempering the need for revenue with increased competition for labor and capital. Tax authorities are adapting their enforcement strategies, focus and policies in response to the changing dynamics of business. Companies are balancing competing priorities, ensuring they maintain compliance while adding value.
We can assist you with these critical issues in today's tax environment, including:
- The Tangible Property Regulations: why comply?
After almost two years of analysis and commentary, the Internal Revenue Service released the final and re-proposed tangible property regulations in September 2013. The final rules provide welcome simplification in certain areas, as well as opportunities for taxpayers to obtain tax benefits, if interested. Certain rules apply to amounts paid or incurred in tax years beginning in 2014, while others also apply to transactions occurring before January 1, 2014. The most common questions we get are: Do these rules really affect me, and if so, what is the most efficient way to comply?
Who is affected?
The Regulations affect all taxpayers that own or lease tangible property. Unlike most regulations, these rules generally affect all industries and all types of taxpayers, including both domestic and foreign corporations, as well as pass-through entities.
Why comply?
As with most law changes, there are benefits associated with compliance and risks associated with noncompliance.
The benefits of implementation and compliance include:
- An opportunity to deduct certain costs, including repair and/or disposition costs
- Reasonable efforts to comply result in the following:
- An efficient tax provision and return review process considering annual elections and method changes
- No tax return disclosures
- Process changes to take advantage of simplified aspects of the regulations
- Reduced effort required during future IRS exam process
The risks of noncompliance include the following:
- Financial statement auditor may be unable to sign off on provision and/or internal control effectiveness, if material
- Possible FIN 48/ASC 740-10 liability assessment and related UTP disclosure
- Tax return preparer may be unable to sign 2014 tax return without disclosure on Form 8275-R for noncompliance with Regulations
It is essential for taxpayers to consider their individual facts and circumstances as they assess the impact of the regulations on their business, define their objectives in addressing the regulations and implement actions associated with those objectives. EY can help in every step of this process.

- Operating in a shifting tax landscape
The global tax landscape continues to change in a dramatic fashion, with near-constant news hitting the headlines regarding shifting tax policy, increasing levels of enforcement and the growing potential of reputational risk.
Competing priorities
Multinational companies now have to balance more competing priorities than ever before, ensuring they protect their business by monitoring and responding to changes in policy, legislation and tax enforcement, while at the same time ensuring they not only maintain the highest levels of compliance but also add value from the tax function.
Governments work to secure each tax dollar they're due
From a policy perspective, all governments want their country to be viewed as an attractive place to do business, to attract jobs and capital in an increasingly competitive globalized arena.
At the same time, they want to increase the amount of revenue they bring in. Governments are treading a fine line, constantly assessing how to secure the tax revenues they see as rightly theirs, while at the same time being in direct competition with other nations, making sure they do not scare off mobile capital.
Tax administrations for their part are adapting their enforcement strategies, focus and policies in response to the changing dynamics of business. They are working to ensure that their resources are being applied to the right issues and taxpayers. They share more leading practices and taxpayer information with their foreign counterparts, to help them collect every dollar due.
Disputes are on the rise
The result has been more frequent, complex and higher value disputes between taxpayers and taxing authorities — a trend that is only increasing as countries collaborate together and as emerging markets gain in stature and influence, taking a more sophisticated approach to taxation. Penalties are becoming more stringent and the threat of reputational risk has risen significantly in recent months.
We can help you to navigate a route through this complex landscape.
We can help you monitor and react to quickly-changing tax policy and assess the economic and fiscal impact.
Where tax policies might create an impediment to your business that is unintended by policy makers, we can help you to collaborate – either solely, or as part of a broader grouping of companies who share a common objective – with government to:
- Explain the impediment
- Develop alternative policy choices which are logical and well thought out
- Model the potential outcomes
- Deliver an alternative choice to the government in a form with which policy makers can comfortably work
We also help you address your global tax controversy, enforcement and disclosure needs.
We focus on pre-filing controversy management to help you properly and consistently file your returns and prepare the relevant back-up documentation.
Where a controversy has already occurred, our professionals leverage the network's collective knowledge of how tax authorities operate, and increasingly work together, to help resolve difficult or sensitive tax disputes. To ensure that continuous performance improvements are instigated after a controversy, we work with EY's other tax professionals to ensure that similar events are less likely to occur.
Below you can access our views and analysis of some of the substantial policy and enforcement trends and issues at play today.
- Seizing the opportunity in Global Compliance and Reporting
Global Compliance and Reporting (GCR) is at a tipping point. Many companies distribute responsibility for GCR processes throughout their organization creating a patchwork. The results are suboptimal. Our recent survey shows a need for a new approach.
Due to the combination of evolving business models, transforming finance functions and an increasingly complex regulatory landscape. There are new opportunities to better optimize efficiency, control and value, to help mitigate risk and improve performance.
What is Global Compliance and Reporting?
GCR comprises the key elements of a company's finance and tax processes that prepare statutory financial and tax filings as required in countries around the world. These duties include:
- Statutory accounting and reporting
- Tax accounting and provisions
- Income tax compliance
- Indirect tax compliance
- Governance and control of the above processes
GCR activities reside in the middle of a broader set of so-called record-to-report (R2R) processes. R2R is the intersection between any company's finance and tax departments and is used to capture, process and store information that is essential to statutory accounting, tax compliance and reporting. Any change to R2R processes, information, finance systems, roles and responsibilities will have a direct impact on GCR processes.
Risk on the rise
GCR risks are on the rise. Local jurisdictions are rewriting regulations, focusing more intently on the collection of tax revenues and sharing more taxpayer information across borders. At the same time, the global financial crisis has driven companies to redesign their finance operating models to remain competitive and to take advantage of opportunities for growth.
Our new report Seizing the opportunity in Global Compliance and Reporting investigates the significant developments taking place as multinational companies determine the best way to meet financial reporting and tax obligations worldwide.
Our case study highlights how we helped leverage an array of external providers
Helping you achieve meet the new GCR demands
Fast changing compliance and reporting requirements are more demanding on tax and finance functions today than ever before. So how do you improve control and quality, manage risk, create efficiency and drive value?
Our market-leading approach combines standard and efficient processes, highly effective tools and an extensive network of local tax and accounting subject matter professionals.

- Building effective supply chains
Today's business environment for large, global companies is more fluid and complex than ever before. Companies are adapting their supply chains to respond to increasingly competitive market conditions and to deliver higher revenue and greater value to their shareholders and customers.
Now, more than ever, multinational companies are expanding their global footprint, to both seek new markets and to capture cost efficiencies. As part of this drive, they are increasingly expanding their supply chains.
With every development in the supply chain comes new costs and new risks to factor in
Alongside the advancement into new markets, leading companies are also further developing their existing supply chains to drive cost efficiencies and boost margins in their mature market operations.
Leading companies recognize the need for comprehensive, proactive planning
But whether it is to enter new markets or to drive efficiencies in existing markets, the new leading companies have one shared characteristic – they fully recognize that carrying out comprehensive, proactive planning across the new supply chain model can maximize the opportunities and mitigate the risks as much as possible.
Only with a truly holistic approach can all supply chain costs - including taxes - be assessed and managed.
The challenge of change
Every day companies face decisions about how to change their operations on a global basis.
The challenge in making such decisions is to look at the problem holistically, considering all facets of the problem. Tax consequences should be a part of the analysis because the tax impact of any business change may be very large and lead to a different result than an operations only analysis.
Our approach
Often, companies will bring tax planning into the process only after the operational opportunities or alternatives have been narrowed and defined, limiting the effectiveness of the planning. Instead by integrating international tax planning at an earlier stage, different alternatives or operating models may emerge as the most effective overall.
With the integrated approach of our Tax Efficient Supply Chain (TESCM) practice, we can often unlock benefits that would not have been possible if such integration had not been present from the beginning.
- Managing mobile workforce risk
In today's globally integrated, tightly regulated and increasingly competitive business environment, one critical success factor stands out: people. People represent an organization's most significant investment and offer a tremendous opportunity to gain a competitive advantage.
Where the leading companies are focusing their efforts
- Attracting and retaining the right people
- Global talent deployment and mobility
- HR and payroll effectiveness
- Risk, governance and compliance
Managing the risks of mobile employees
While optimizing the competitive advantage of your people has long been a core objective, a more recent set of trends in the tax landscape means that large companies with an internationally mobile workforce are at a higher risk of tax noncompliance and resulting controversy than ever before.
The business and tax landscapes that have changed so much over the last few years continue to shift. The pace of globalization is increasing, and the global financial crisis has acted as a catalyst to both globalization and business transformation, with many emerging markets now seeing faster growth than before the crisis.
Alongside these megatrends, a variety of underlying issues are converging, resulting in a growing set of risks for multinationals who have globally mobile employees. While companies may closely define and execute their formal expatriate assignment policies, business travelers outside the scope of such formal policies are widely accepted to be creating a new set of risks for companies to manage.
Unintended tax compliance obligations
These travelers are increasingly creating unintended tax compliance obligations, and the resulting risks are not just personal. They are increasingly felt at the corporate level, with the corporate tax function often unaware of the extent of the spreading problem. Tax administrations are becoming increasingly aware of the issue, however, and are very effectively using new technology to identify where a tax obligation has arisen. In a rising tax enforcement landscape, this issue has significant potential to grow.
Managing these risks should be a burning platform issue for multinational companies.
A burning platform?
What may start as a relatively simple personal income tax compliance issue can quickly create a ripple effect, with risks such as the creation of a permanent establishment, an employment tax audit or the payment of a significant related penalty all occurring at the corporate level.
At the same time, the pace of legislative change (such as the increasing enforcement of permanent establishment) is actually speeding up. Countries are using this type of legislation to increase overall levels of tax revenue.
As governments continue to look for ways to widen the tax base, they are likely to learn from one another in fora such as the OECD's Forum on Tax Administration, CIAT, CIOT and SGATAR and quickly replicate the processes and technologies used. As they do so, we will likely see penetration of this issue into a broader number of companies of smaller size.
Companies, recognizing the spectrum of reputational, personal and financial risks related to tax, are making strong efforts to be compliant. There is an increasing acceptance that such issues are becoming increasingly urgent from both a reputational and a financial perspective.
How we are helping companies
Our Human Capital network embeds processes and technology that will help companies to identify and manage STBT-related risks before they occur. Where controversy has already arisen, EY's global Tax Controversy network can use our insights into the culture and processes and relationships with each key tax administration to remediate issues. With prior year issues being rapidly unearthed, and with tax administrations focusing on this issue more than ever before, the time to act is now.
- The Affordable Care Act: more than health care
For employers, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is more than a benefits law. It's a tax law that has far-reaching impact on U.S. companies of all industries, geographies and sizes.
The compliance time is short, and our team of professionals is ready to begin working with companies to address the critical issues that must be addressed throughout the company. Employers need to make smart decisions now that will mitigate costs, avoid unforeseen tax liabilities and retain a productive workforce. We can help.

BenchmarkHierarchicalClient example is an interactive C# program that uses Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 to access the GemFire C++ API for benchmarking performance between a client and a server.
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 must be installed before running this example. For information about installing the .NET Framework, see the GemFire Enterprise Native Client Guide.
BenchmarkHierarchicalClient measures the time it takes for a
put operation to return in a hierarchical cache configuration. In this test, the client does the
put and its BridgeWriter automatically forwards the
put to the server. Consequently, the measurement includes the time required to send the data to the server.
To run the server and client on separate machines, you need to modify the client configuration file,
BenchmarkHierarchicalClient.xml, changing the two occurrences of the endpoints parameter string,
localhost, to the name of the server's machine.
Examples that interact with a Java cache server require specific environment configurations so the Java cache server will run properly. Follow the configuration steps listed below that apply to your operating system:
JAVA_HOME and
GF_JAVA_HOME environment variables to your installed Java JRE or JDK. See the Installation chapter of the GemFire Enterprise System Administrator's Guide for the versions of Java that are compatible with GemFire Enterprise. The
JAVA_HOME setting is for your applications, and
GF_JAVA_HOME is for the GemFire scripts. You must have a compatible Java JRE or JDK installed and you must set
JAVA_HOME and
GF_JAVA_HOME to point to it.
$JAVA_HOME/bin to the start of your
set CLASSPATH=%GEMFIRE%\quickstart\classes;%CLASSPATH%
The following is a list of the environment configuration commands for the
BenchmarkHierarchicalClient example. Choose the set of commands that are appropriate for your operating system. The text that you type is shown in bold.
These configurations only need to be performed for the sessions that invoke the Java cache server.
Bourne and Korn shells (sh, ksh, bash)
% cd GemFireInstallDirectory
% CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$GEMFIRE/quickstart/classes; export CLASSPATH
% cd $GEMFIRE/quickstart
% JAVA_HOME=<installed JRE PATH>; export JAVA_HOME
% GF_JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_HOME; export GF_JAVA_HOME
% PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH
> cd GemFireInstallDirectory
> set CLASSPATH=%GEMFIRE%\quickstart\classes;%CLASSPATH%
> cd %GEMFIRE%\quickstart
> set JAVA_HOME=<installed JRE PATH>
> set GF_JAVA_HOME=%JAVA_HOME%
> set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
To start the
BenchmarkHierarchicalClient example, create a session from the GemFire Enterprise product installation directory and complete the following steps. Throughout this example, when you're prompted to enter the native client directory, replace the
xxxx in
NativeClient_xxxx with the actual four-digit product version number.
This first session starts the Java cache server.
Configure the session environment according to the steps listed in Configuring the Environment.
%GEMFIRE%/quickstart directory.
cd %GEMFIRE%/quickstart
java quickstart.BenchmarkHierarchicalServer
cli_BenchmarkHierarchicalClient example directory:
cd \NativeClient_xxxx\examples\cli_BenchmarkHierarchicalClient
BenchmarkHierarchicalClient application:
In the client session
The benchmarking tests may take several moments to finish. After the benchmarking is complete, the following statistical categories are reported in the client session:
Benchmark Statistics
Benchmark Averages (Mean)
Best Benchmark Results
When you have finished reviewing the benchmarking results, press
Enterto end the
BenchmarkHierarchicalClientapplication. Next, type
Exitto close the session.
In the server session
Enterto end the cache server, then type
Exitto close the session.
This product ships configured to run with default system properties. If you need to run in a non-default configuration, GemFire also takes a system-level configuration file. To configure a .NET client, rename any
gfcpp.properties file currently in the example directory, then copy
gfcpp.properties file into your
cli_BenchmarkHierarchicalClient directory from the
defaultSystem directory. Edit the
gfcpp.properties file in your
cli_BenchmarkHierarchicalClient directory, as needed.
If you also need to make a non-default configuration for the Java cache server, rename any
gemfire.properties file currently in the
%GEMFIRE%/quickstart, then copy
gemfire.properties into the
/quickstart directory from the
%GEMFIRE%/defaultConfigs directory and edit it. For example, to change the name of the
cache.xml file, uncomment this line and change the file name:
When you're done with the example, delete your edited versions of
gemfire.properties and
gfcpp.properties, then restore the renamed original versions to their original names so other examples can use the unedited files.

Jörg Broschek named Canada Research Chair in Comparative Federalism and Multilevel Governance at Laurier
Mar 15/13| For Immediate Release
Abby Goodrum, Vice-President, Research
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO - Wilfrid Laurier University is pleased to announce the appointment of Jörg Broschek to the position of Canada Research Chair in Comparative Federalism and Multilevel Governance.
Canada Research Chair appointments across Canada were officially announced by the Honourable Gary Goodyear, Minister of State (Science and Technology) at Western University March 15, 2013.
Broschek is coming to Laurier from the Institute of Political Science at the Technische Universität Darmstadt in Germany where he specialized in comparative politics. In his doctoral dissertation, he examined dynamic patterns of federalism in Canada from a comparative perspective. At Laurier, Broscheks research will compare the institutional architecture, the historical evolution, and the democratic performance of multilevel governance in Europe and North America. To this end, Broschek plans to develop an innovative analytical framework that builds on and further extends his previous work in the field of comparative federalism.
Based on my experience as a German political scientist with a European background who has specialized in Canadian politics, I hope that the research I am undertaking will substantially contribute to the role of Canadian political science in the study of comparative politics, said Broschek.
Broschek will begin his appointment on July 1, 2013. In addition to his Canada Research Chair appointment, he will be joining Lauriers Political Science Department as an Associate Professor.
We welcome Dr. Broschek as he joins the growing interdisciplinary group of scholars at Laurier interested in federalism and multilevel governance, said Abby Goodrum, vice-president: research. His research will contribute to Lauriers deep commitment to discovery and innovation, global citizenship, and civic engagement by addressing a topic that is of deep concern to students, policymakers and academics around the world.
With Broscheks appointment, Wilfrid Laurier University will have nine Canada Research Chairs in disciplines ranging from International Human Rights to Forests and Global Change.
Our government is committed to attracting and retaining the worlds best and brightest researchers, supporting innovation, creating jobs, and strengthening our economy, said Goodyear. By investing in programs such as the Canada Research Chairs, we are fostering cutting-edge research and the generation of new innovations for the marketplace, for the benefit of Canadians.
In 2000, the Government of Canada created a permanent program to establish 2000 research professorshipsCanada Research Chairsin eligible degree-granting institutions across the country. The Canada Research Chairs program invests $300 million per year to attract and retain some of the world's most accomplished and promising minds and make Canada one of the world's top countries in research and development.

Beautiful job! What are the chances we'd post toy boxes we built on the exact same day?! We're definitely kindred spirits. ;) (Anne of Green Gables nerd right here...)
Yours looks amazing! And that's hilarious that I used your pic from Ana's site for my stool inspiration. I'll have to go look for that post now. :)
Love yours better than PB's ;)
Featured you @ this weeks linky party! xoxo
You continue to amaze me with your woodworking skills! Adorable toy box, and Lily has a family heirloom in the making.
Thanks for partying with me :)
Wow, this is amazing! Would you mind responding to my comment on how you did the letters? Did you use a cricut/siloutte machine? Thank you so much!
Amazing, I wish I had your carpentry skills. You did an amazing job, its beautiful.
This is Great. I just painted my daughter's little chest and painted the lettering too, but I am really impressed that you built the trunk! Way to go!
This is just beautiful! I have a little Miss Lilly, grandaughter, she is the BEST! I have all sons, so when a little girl came our way, I was tickled pink! I have all the tools, I to am just really scared that I will keep cutting it all crooked!

Katie M. Clayton
Katie fought a valiant battle for 663 days against a brain tumor. The final 113 days as she knew the end was near she lived each day without complaint & instead made it her mission to use her sarcastic, quirky & uplifting humor to make all who loved her laugh. Katie's battle against brain cancer ended on Thursday Jan. 10, at home surrounded by her family.
Katie was born in Platteville, with the most beautiful red hair and blue eyes on Jan. 5, 1988 to the joyful parents, Dan and Cindy (Stoney) Clayton. She was welcomed to their home in Belmont, by her big brother, Tommy. Tommy was the most protective big brother a little girl could ever ask for. Even as they attended elementary school, Tommy would walk Katie to school & make sure she was safe. At the start of her eighth grade year, Katie moved to Janesville, with her mom. Katie graduated from Parker High school in 2006. Throughout Katie's life her mom was active in the Jaycees. Tom and Katie actively donated their time as well helping out the community. They especially loved Halloween and Haunted Houses. Katie took on a leadership role in the Jr Jaycees and helped to establish a Jayteen chapter. She was Jayteen President in 2004. Katie's senior year of high school she balanced working at Sentry Foods and R&R Concrete & Excavating while finishing high school. After high school, Katie moved to Madison to attend MATC for photography. Katie worked at Extended Stay Hotels until April 2007 when she went to work for Menards. Katie moved back to Janesville to help her mom take care of her grandmother who moved in with them. She transferred to Blackhawks TC and continued to work at Menards until she was diagnosed with the brain tumor in March 2011. Katie's favorite class throughout school was Art class. Her proud parents are the owners of several pieces of Katie's art. In high school she learned the love of photography. She loved animals and children and they adored her just as much. As a child she dreamed of becoming a marine biologist even though her career path changed, she never lost her love of sharks.
Katie adored her baby cousins, Gabe and Lena and she was the proudest aunt ever when baby Tom was born. Katie's desire above all else was to find true love and have children. She did not get to make that dream come true but she will be remembered forever by the children who met her. Her charismatic smile and ability to enjoy the simplistic and silliest things. She was perfectly content coloring or just playing with those little ones. Katie's true passions were the Milwaukee Brewers and cooking. No matter how ill she was she never missed a ball game on TV. She loved to cook and it was seldom that her channel diverted from the Food Network. Katie enjoyed music and going to see her favorite bands play.
Katie and her mom were devoted to each other and best friends. Cindy was with Katie every step of the way through her journey fighting for her life and Katie's mom took care of her at home til the angels carried her to heaven. Katie's faith in God never faltered and one of her recent wishes was to complete her confirmation.
Katie was preceded in death by her cousin Jake Thompson and her grandparents, Thomas R Stoney, Emmet J Hoppenjan Sr., Karen Hoppenjan and Sara Clayton. She is survived by her parents, Daniel C Clayton, Belmont and Cynthia A (Stoney) Clayton, Janesville. Her brother, Thomas R Clayton Sr., sister-in-law, Rachael Clayton and 2 year old nephew Thomas R Clayton Jr., all of Janesville. Her grandfather, Don (Jackie) Clayton Sr., Platteville. Her aunts and uncles, Collin and Amy (Hoppenjan) McAllister, Lake Delton, Emmet and Heather Hoppenjan and cousins Gabriel and Lena, Deforest, Don and Lynette Clayton Jr., Platteville, cousins, Chad, Jesse and Cody and Tom and Karla Thompson, cousins Danielle, Eric and Tyler. Katie is also survived by her mom' s friend, Allen Miller who was there for Katie to count on everyday. Her cousin Amanda (Jason) Wright, who along with her mom Teresa has been there for Katie her entire life. Her cousin and confirmation sponsor, Darcy (Paul) Thome. Along with great aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends who fought right alongside Katie. Katie is survived by her dog, Morgan, her goldfish and a family and friends full of love for their selfless, amazing courageous, spunky beautiful girl who lived every moment of her life.

By NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – BancorpSouth beat analysts estimates by a penny in the first quarter, as it earned $20.8 million, or 22 cents a share. However, it was a 9 percent drop from last year's first-quarter earnings of $22.9 million, or 25 cents a share.
Analysts' had expected earnings for the Tupelo-based bank of 21 cents a share for the quarter ending March 31.
Margin compression affected BancorpSouth's earnings, as net interest margin – the difference between the interest income generated from loans and the amount of interest if pays – declined. The bank's net interest margin for the quarter was 3.37 percent, compared to 3.66 percent a year ago and 3.44 percent for the fourth quarter.
Net interest revenue was $98.1 million, a decrease of 7.1 percent from $105.6 million for the year-ago quarter.
"Loan growth is clearly the key to addressing the declining margin," said BancorpSouth CEO Dan Rollins. "At the end of the first quarter, we had almost $1 billion of liquidity in our overnight position earning 25 basis points. We are undertaking necessary measures to ensure that our team is focused on converting this liquidity into loans that meet our policies."
BancorpSouth generated first-quarter mortgage volume of $425.9 million and mortgage sales of $445.9 million, contributing to mortgage lending revenue of $12.3 million for the quarter.
Credit and debit card fee revenue was $7.5 million for the quarter was unchanged from a year ago, but dropped from the $8.1 million posted in the fourth quarter. Service charge revenue was $12.8 million for the first quarter, down from $15.1 million a year ago. Insurance commission revenue rose 15.1 percent to $26.6 million.
"Results for the first quarter reflect solid performance from our noninterest lines of business, particularly mortgage and insurance," Rollins said.
The bank said its earnings also were affected by a $6.8 million increase in its litigation reserve "related to various legal matters."
"Our first quarter results reflect continued progress towards improving profitability," Rollins noted. "Excluding the $6.8 million increase in the litigation reserve, this quarter is the most profitable quarter that the company has had in over three years."
BancorpSouth's provision for credit losses dropped to $4 million, versus $10 million for the first quarter of 2012. Non-performing loans in this year's first quarter declined $78.2 million, or 27.4 percent, to $207 million. That compares to NPLs of $285.2 million a year ago.
NPLs were 2.41 percent of net loans and leases. compared 3.26 percent of net loans and leases from 2012 The allowance for credit losses was $162.6 million, or 1.89 percent of net loans and leases compared to $181.8 million, or 2.08 percent of net loans and leases a year earlier.
Net charge-offs declined to $5.9 million for the first quarter, versus $23.3 million for the year-ago period.
Total assets were $13.39 billion, up slightly $13.31 billion. Total deposits were $11.16 billion, an increase of 0.75 percent.
Shares of BancorpSouth (NYSE: BXS) closed at $15.07, up 15 cents on Monday. The company announced its earnings report after the markets closed.

The World
- Landscapes are generated procedurally using math and random numbers.
- The World Map is a zoomable, turnable, 3D voxel map.
- Seeds can be used to make the same exact world again. Worlds are generated during gameplay.
- This means no long precomputations or large save files when the world is initially created.
- There are no artificial borders.
- There are multiple climates and themes including: Greenlands, Snowlands, Deserts, Jungles, Lava Lands, and Oceans.
- Five major adventuring skills include: Climbing, Swimming, Diving, Hang Gliding, and Sailing.
- There are Dungeons integrated seamlessly into the world. These are full of rare loot, stronger than normal enemies, and bosses.
- Different types of Dungeons include: Castles, Ruins, Temples, Pyramids, and Catacombs. There are also Overworld Dungeons, which are less structured and consist of disconnected buildings. They will have a boss somewhere in the center.
- Portals can be found in the world, and players can quickly teleport between discovered portals.
- Everyday in Cube World, new missions are made available that send the player to a dungeon or boss monster. Because new missions are made available everyday, you can stay in the same land forever should you choose to.
- Mission rewards include: Weapons, Armor, and Platinum Coins.
- Platinum Coins are used to upgrade Weapons and Armor.
- There are four main classes: Warriors, Rangers, Mages, and Rogues.
- Warriors use charged attacks (building up MP with normal attacks to charge up powerful special attacks). They are heavily armored melee fighters, and use one-handed weapons, two-handed weapons, and shields.
- Rangers similarly to Warriors use charged attacks, but with ranged weapons. They use bows, crossbows, and boomerangs.
- Mages cast spells that have varying cast times. Normal attacks are faster, while special attacks have longer cast times and consume MP. They use wands, staffs, and bracelets that can attack enemies, heal allies, and protect themselves.
- Rogues are more fast paced and the special attacks are instant. They are agile melee fighters that focus on stealth and evasion. They wield daggers, fist weapons, and longswords.
Each major class has two specializations that change playstyle and the abilities of that class.
Specialization can be changed at the class trainer.
- Warriors can specialize into:
Berserker: Attack speed increases with each hit. Attacks charge more quickly.
Guardian: Can block attacks with all weapons. Has increased health. Can become immune against stun attacks.
- Rangers can specialize into:
Sniper: Has camoflauge and aim abilities. Attack speed increases with each hit.
Scout: Special attacks have a chance to become instantly chargeable. Can sprint.
- Mages can specialize into:
Fire: Special attacks have a chance to become instantly chargeable. Can cast fire explosions.
Water: Attack speed is increased with each hit. Has healing spells.
- Rogues can specialize into:
Assassin: Special attacks increase stealth. Has improved stealth abilities.
Ninja: Dodges during special attacks. Can throw shurikens.
Skills and Progression
- With each gained level, players can assign skill points into a skill tree.
- There are both class specific skills (attacks / spells) and common skills (adventure skills).
- Your character's progression is infinite. You can level up infinitely and put infinitely many skill points into skill trees.
- This does not mean you become infinitely powerful. The power of players, creatures, items, and skills don't scale linearly or exponentially, but rather tangentially.
- So while levels can be between one and infinity, the corresponding power is between 1 and 100. A power of 100 can only be reached with an infinite level.
- In lower levels, power increments are more notable than in higher levels.
- For each world, the game generates creatures and dungeons evenly in all power ranges (1-100).
- This way the player can travel freely from land to land and always be sure to find creatures and dungeons of similar power.
- The advantages to this are: no level cap, player has no feeling of an end-game, and your power cannot be infinite.
- There are currently eight playable races including: Elves, Humans, Goblins, Lizardmen, Dwarves, Orcs, Frogmen, and Undeads.
- There are separate models for males and females. They have different voices.
- There are no class-race restrictions.
- Characters are customizable during character creation by choosing a combination of face, hair, and hair color.
- Lizardmen have scales rather than hair and Frogmen have different eyes.
Items and Crafting
- Items can be obtained from: enemies, treasure chests, missions, and vendors.
- Items can be crafted from: Weapon crafting, Armor crafting, Jewel crafting, Cooking, and Alchemy.
- Many crafts require recipes and ingredients.
- Weapon Crafting: Each class can craft weapons available to that class.
- Armor Crafting: Each class can craft armor available to that class.
- Jewel Crafting: All classes can craft rings and amulets. These have secondary stats that are useful for all classes.
- Cooking: Players can craft food for cheap out-of-combat healing or buffs.
- Alchemy: Players can craft healing potions and other useful potions.
Weapon Customization
- Weapons can be upgraded and customized on a per-voxel basis.
- As an example, Iron Swords can be upgraded with Iron Cubes which can be freely placed on the weapon. This increases damage and changes the looks of the weapon.
- Spirit Cubes are rare magic cubes that are obtained by defeating bosses. They are more powerful than normal cubes and have additional effects when placed on a weapon.
- Spirit Cubes have four potential effects: Fire, Wind, Ice, and Unholy.
Fire spirit deals additional fire damage.
Wind spirit increases attack and movement speed of the player.
Ice spirit slows attack and movement speed of the target.
Unholy spirit deals damage to the target and heals the player.
It obviously looks like it was born out of Minecraft, but that's not a bad thing.
minecraft didnt appeal to me, but this does
Infinite levels. Infinite, randomly generated (and partially destructible) worlds. Cube World is poised to be the next indie smash hit, but based on what I've seen, it could redefine the way we think about RPGs - most RPGs have finite worlds, levels caps, and limited amounts of content - all of which are non-existent in Cube World...
I'll probably buy the alpha as soon as it's available.
Hand-crafted worlds and quests will beat randomly generated ones, every time.

New Years Wishes
Here's hoping that 2013 brings with it:
A civil discourse of the issues of the day. Everybody is entitled to an opinion, but we need to respect those opinions that we do not necessarily agree with.
The ability to work together to solve problems, no one way is the only way to get things done.
The ability to adapt to change. Cudahy will have at least a 40% change in Common Council.
From the Fech Family, wishing you a Happy, Safe and Prosperous 2013.
