ALLENTOWN - Operation of the power plant at Kimbles and its water source, Lake Wallenpaupack, will continue under the announced merger of PPL Corporation with Riverstone Holdings LLC, said George Lewis, Director-Corporate Communications for PPL.
ALLENTOWN - Operation of the power plant at Kimbles and its water source, Lake Wallenpaupack, will continue under the announced merger of PPL Corporation with Riverstone Holdings LLC, said George Lewis, Director-Corporate Communications for PPL.
All of the power plants in Pennsylvania that are owned by PPL Energy Supply will be included in the new company that will be separated from PPL when the transaction closes. Lake Wallenpaupack and the generating plant at Kimbles are part of PPL Energy Supply and included in the planned separation.
The name that has been chosen for the new company is Talen Energy.
Lewis noted that the change-over does not take place right away. The transaction must be approved by various federal and state government agencies, and is expected to take nine to 12 months to complete. Lewis added, "So visitors to the lake this summer won't see any changes."
He stated that approval will be needed from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to transfer the license to the new company, to operate the Kimbles plant. "We expect the license to be transferred as is," Lewis stated. "We do not at this time envision reopening the license or shore line policy for major revisions. We will discuss any changes that affect the Lake Community at our public shoreline advisory meetings and gather community input before final decisions."
Asked about the meaning of the name "Talen," Lewis said that they wanted the name to reflect its character and promise. "Ideas that immediately came to mind were talent, of the people who will work for this company, and energy, in terms of the product it will produce and what employees bring to their jobs. So Talen represents the idea of talented people energized to succeed."
PPL created the 5,700-acre lake shared by Wayne and Pike counties in northeast Pennsylvania when it built the 44-megawatt power plant in 1926.
In addition to its role as a source of renewable energy generation, the man-made lake is a popular location for year-round outdoor recreation.
••• About the merger
PPL Corporation and Riverstone Holdings LLC, a leading energy and power investment firm, announced Monday June 9 a definitive agreement to combine their merchant power generation businesses into a new stand-alone, publicly traded Independent Power Producer.
The new company, which will own and operate a diverse mix of 15,320 megawatts of generating capacity in key U.S. competitive energy markets, will be called Talen Energy Corporation. Based on current generating capacity statistics, Talen Energy would be the third-largest investor-owned IPP in the nation.
Under the terms of the agreement, at closing, PPL Corporation will spin off PPL Energy Supply, LLC, the parent company of PPL Generation, LLC, and PPL EnergyPlus, LLC, to shareowners of PPL and then immediately combine that business with Riverstone's generation business to form Talen Energy Corporation, an independent publicly traded company expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Upon closing, PPL Corporation's shareowners will own 65 percent of Talen Energy and Riverstone will own 35 percent. PPL Corporation will have no continuing ownership interest in Talen Energy.
PPL Corporation's shareowners will receive a pro-rata distribution of Talen Energy shares at closing based on the number of PPL Corporation shares owned as of the spinoff record date.
••• Power supply
Talen Energy will combine 5,325 megawatts of capacity owned and operated by Riverstone at 15 sites in Maryland, New Jersey, Texas and Massachusetts with 9,995 megawatts of capacity owned and operated by PPL Generation at 12 sites in Pennsylvania and Montana. The new company's planned 15,320-megawatt portfolio will have excellent fuel diversity, with 40 percent natural gas, 40 percent coal and 15 percent nuclear. The above numbers exclude capacity from PPL's 11 hydroelectric units in Montana, which are expected to be sold to NorthWestern Energy pursuant to a September 2013 definitive agreement.
About 83 percent of the generating capacity to be owned by Talen Energy is located in the region served by the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection, the world's largest wholesale electricity marketplace.
The combination is expected to result in significant operating and financial benefits for Talen Energy. The company expects to realize annual run-rate synergy benefits of $155 million and projects 2015 "Model Year" Adjusted EBITDA of about $1.07 billion, inclusive of the run-rate forecast synergies.
PPL Energy Supply had total debt of $2.7 billion and cash of $520 million as of May 31, 2014. Riverstone's generation business is expected to have $1.25 billion of debt after giving effect to their planned refinancing.
Paul A. Farr, PPL's executive vice president and Chief Financial Officer will lead the transition process to form Talen Energy. Jeremy R. McGuire, PPL's vice president of strategic development, will also serve as a member of the transition team and, upon closing, will become the Chief Financial Officer of Talen Energy.
In addition to Farr, PPL will name four independent members to the eight-member Talen Energy board, while Riverstone will name three members, one of whom will be independent.
••• Affect on operations
Talen Energy will be headquartered at a yet-to-be-determined location in Pennsylvania. PPL Corporation and the company's Pennsylvania electricity delivery operation, PPL Electric Utilities, will continue to be headquartered in Allentown.
PPL EnergyPlus will continue to serve its wholesale and retail customers in the mid-Atlantic region and Montana.
Spence emphasized that the PPL Generation plants moving to the new company will continue to be operated and maintained by many of the trusted professionals who have been doing so for decades.
"PPL people have done an excellent job of operating and maintaining these power plants in a safe and reliable manner. That commitment to safe and reliable operation will continue unchanged, as many in the current management team are expected to be part of Talen Energy," said William H. Spence, PPL Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Many of the current employees of PPL Energy Supply and the employees of PPL Services Corporation who provide support for that business are expected to transfer to Talen Energy at closing. It is expected, however, that the combination of operations will result in the elimination of a number of positions at plant locations and in corporate support services.
The number of positions affected will be determined during the transition process, Spence said, noting that the company is confident in its forecast of synergies.
••• Awaits approval
The transaction is subject to approval by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (including the required market power analysis); a Hart-Scott-Rodino review; certain approvals by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission; and other customary closing conditions. The transaction, which does not require PPL shareowner approval, is expected to close in nine to 12 months.
This transaction does not include the 8,100 megawatts of regulated generating capacity owned by PPL's Kentucky utilities. Those assets will continue to be owned and operated by Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company to serve customers in Kentucky and southwestern Virginia.
PPL Corporation and Riverstone Holdings LLC is expected to benefit PPL shareholders.
Upon closing, PPL Corporation's shareowners will own 65 percent of Talen Energy and Riverstone will own 35 percent. PPL Corporation will have no continuing ownership interest in Talen Energy.
PPL Corporation's shareowners will receive a pro-rata distribution of Talen Energy shares at closing based on the number of PPL Corporation shares owned as of the spinoff record date. The spinoff will have no effect on their ownership of PPL Corporation common stock and there will be no change in the number of shares of PPL Corporation common stock outstanding. The transaction is designed to be tax-free to PPL Corporation and its shareowners.
"Talen Energy will be a very significant player in the U.S. competitive generation market, bringing together the best of two robust businesses with a very strong presence in the PJM region, as well as nearly 2,000 megawatts of generating capacity in the fast growing ERCOT market in Texas," said William H. Spence, PPL Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Talen Energy will have significant scale, a very competitive cost structure and the financial agility to pursue growth opportunities."
Spence announced that, upon closing, Paul A. Farr, PPL's executive vice president and Chief Financial Officer, will be Talen Energy's president and Chief Executive Officer and a director of the new corporation.
To facilitate the transition process, Farr is being named president of PPL Energy Supply, effective June 10. Also effective June 10, Vincent Sorgi, currently vice president and controller for PPL, is being named a senior vice president of PPL and its Chief Financial Officer.
Michael B. Hoffman, a Partner at Riverstone Holdings, said, "Riverstone is very excited about participating in this important transaction. The blending of our two complementary businesses will create, on day one, one of the largest independent power producers in the U.S. with more than 15,000 megawatts of diversified generating capacity in the most attractive U.S. markets, strong free cash flow, and a conservatively capitalized balance sheet. With an outstanding management team led by Paul Farr, we believe Talen Energy will be one of the most successful IPPs in North America."
Following the spinoff, PPL Corporation will focus on the high-performing regulated utilities it owns and operates in the United Kingdom, Kentucky and Pennsylvania, serving more than 10 million customers. These regulated businesses, which had 2013 revenues of $7.2 billion, provided more than 85 percent of PPL Corporation's 2013 earnings from ongoing operations.
PPL Corporation expects to maintain a strong balance sheet, to manage its finances consistent with investment-grade credit ratings and to continue to provide a competitive dividend for shareowners.
Spence said PPL will maintain the current dividend rate -- $1.49 per share on an annualized basis -- on its common stock until the close of the transaction and intends to grow the dividend under the fully regulated business model.
Spence said the company is maintaining its current 2014 forecast of ongoing earnings of $2.15 to $2.30 per share. "We also are providing 2015 earnings guidance, excluding the Supply segment, of $2.05 to $2.25 per share. And, going forward, we are targeting a minimum of 4 percent compound annual growth in PPL's earnings per share, based on the $2.05 per share midpoint of our projected 2014 ongoing earnings, excluding Supply," said Spence.
"As stand-alone companies, PPL Corporation and Talen Energy each will have compelling growth prospects, and we expect the financial markets will ascribe valuations that more appropriately recognize the inherent strengths of each company," said Spence. "As PPL has grown its rate-regulated business portfolio significantly over the past several years, PPL's Energy Supply business has not -- in our view -- achieved appropriate equity valuation."
While the transaction represents a significant change for all company stakeholders, Spence said PPL decided on this direction following an in-depth analysis of its business mix.
"Given the challenges, uncertainties and opportunities in the wholesale power markets, maintaining the status quo was not a viable option. This transaction provides greater clarity for shareowners, our PPL Energy Supply employees, customers and the communities we serve," said Spence.
Spence said PPL Corporation continues to forecast significant rate base growth in its regulated businesses as it invests $16 billion over the next five years in transmission facilities, in regulated power plants and in environmental improvements.
In addition to the utilities in Kentucky that serve 1.2 million customers, PPL operates utilities in Pennsylvania and the United Kingdom serving 1.4 million and 7.8 million customers, respectively.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC served as financial advisers to PPL Corporation. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP served as PPL Corporation's legal adviser.
Riverstone was advised by J.P. Morgan (financial adviser) and Vinson & Elkins (legal counsel).

Off with the old "News" and on with the new "News" was the slogan of the week in making this week's issue ready for printing. This week's issue was printed "offset," using photocomposition machines instead of by the old "letterpress" method, which utilizes "hot metal" linecasting machines. The old Goss Comet newspaper press, used for years to print the News, is maintaining a sulky silence – its rumbling stilled. Once in a while, someone will go into the pressroom and give it a fond look or a friendly pat, but no one wants to break the bad news that it has had its day and the tender, loving care to which it responded admirably every press day is a thing of the past.

Mayor Don Wesely today presented two city employees with the Mayor's Award of Excellence for the month of August. The honorees were Bill Hergott and John Harbeson in the Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department.
The award recognizes city employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the city. The awards were presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
Hergott is an arborist and Harbeson is an equipment operator. They were nominated in the category of customer relations by their supervisors because of their ability to work cooperatively with the public. The nomination refers to a specific incident in which they assisted City Arborist Steve Schwab and Assistant City Arborist Bob Weyhrich in planting trees with citizen volunteers. The nomination reads:
"On Saturday, April 1, Bill augured 70 planting holes in the Antelope Park neighborhood and assisted 17 volunteers in planting street trees to beautify their area. On Saturday, April 15, John augured 82 planting holes and also assisted volunteers in planting street trees in the Tierra neighborhood area. Positive written and verbal comments were made by citizens from both organizations as a result of Bill and John's dedication and hard work."
In addition to customer relations, the other categories in which employees can be nominated are safety, productivity, valor and loss prevention. All city employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected officials and some managers. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public.
Nomination forms are available from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program. All nominations are reviewed by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor.
Award winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. Monthly winners are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $500 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

Wrapped up the latest edit on Killing Lilith. Going well! Don't forget to check out the Killing Lilith Facebook Page and click "like" for news, updates & more excerpts! Here's a little excerpt for you Lilith fans out there:
Phone's ringing—been ringing now for twenty minutes, on & off: Emily calling from the stables wondering why I haven't picked her up from Equestrian practice. She'll use it as an excuse to petition for that new car she says we're too cheap to buy her—as if she can't realize that she doesn't deserve one. I'd be shocked if she didn't drive any car we got her straight to South Central and trade it for a year's supply of crack.
Jacob calling from his guitar lesson. He decided he wanted to learn guitar after he abandoned violin, saxophone, flute, & piano. He's been talking about giving up music for acting. The older he gets, the more attention he craves. Perhaps it's other things he craves. Women. Drugs. Fame. I have little doubt he'll find anything he seeks. I also doubt he'll be capable of handling any of it before it destroys him.
Jack's called a few times—probably pissed off, not because he'll have to leave the office early to pick up the kids, but because he won't get the chance to have a few drinks at the bar with his colleagues after work. He needs that to wind down before he comes home.
I get to try winding down between cleaning, errands, picking up the children, cooking, and lifting up my nightgown once in a while so Jack can release some sexual tension. None of them are worried about where I am.
Point Dume. Sitting on a beach staring as the sun burns a trail through the Malibu sky, listening to the vain attempts of my family to contact me. I stare directly into the sun so that it might dry the tears before they leave their ducts. They love me. No, they need me. Dependency misconstrued as love. Fuck them!
My love was unconditional for a time. What have I been able to depend on? I never expected anything in exchange for that love. Regardless, I am mourning them. I will die, but they are already dead. So I sit here, burning my ass on the sand, beating my chest, setting my retinas on fire—sitting Shiva.I stand and begin to make my way back to the car through a haze of black and yellow. The phone rings again. Jack, Emily, Jacob. It doesn't matter anymore. I've made my peace. I turn around once last time, facing the waves and the waning sun, and throw the phone at the offending horizon.

New Delhi: India and Pakistan have carried an annual exchange of lists of their nuclear facilities as part of an agreement that bans the rivals from attacking each other's nuclear installations.
An Indian External Affairs Ministry statement says the lists were exchanged on Tuesday both in New Delhi and Islamabad.
The exchanges have taken place on the first day of the year since 1992 as part of their agreement.
India and Pakistan have fought three wars since they won independence from Britain in 1947. Relations between them have improved after India suspended them following the Mumbai terror attack in 2008 that killed 166 people.
India blamed the attack on Pakistani insurgents, a charge Pakistan denies.

Way back when I started this blog I did a week on illustrated album covers. One of the albums I presented, a really delightful children's record called "All About the Seasons" was signed "M. Erath" - a name I had never heard before.
After some detective work on the Internet I discovered and actually made contact with the artist, Margaret Erath - but I never imagined I'd find another example of her illustration work. That made the discovery of this second album cover by Erath so exciting.
You see Margaret Erath never really work as a professional illustrator. She was a textile designer at the Gloria Bucé Studio in New York City. For 32 years she designing patterns for fabrics and took on a tiny number of illustration assignments, including a series of record jackets for Wide World Children's Records. This recent find must be one of those jackets.
I find Erath's artwork to be extremely charming. In it, I see shades of Maurice Sendak and Mary Blair, as well as a hint of Jan Balet...
... but beyond any similarity to the work of other artists, Erath's style is distinctly personal and honest and lovely. I wish there was more of it - but I also feel fortunate to have found these rare examples.
Margaret Erath retired to Arizona and at the time when I last heard from her, was painting for local gallery shows.

Bad idea: suing your software vendor
Thomas Wailgum, blogging for CIO magazine, thinks that it's not wise for customers to take legal action against software vendors. He looked at the lawsuit against SAP for $100 million, filed by Waste Management, and decided to interview IT executives of other organizations to get their perspective on the litigation option. He found a strong bias against the idea of suing vendors:In recent conversations with IT executives I asked them if they had ever sued a software vendor and whether, in retrospect, it was a good thing to do.The reasons cited against taking legal action were three:
Most had known about or participated, in some capacity, in the litigation process against some well-known and some not-so-well-known vendors. And what nearly all of them had decided was that suing your software vendor just wasn't a smart thing to do.
Sure they had all been disappointed by software packages and could tell tales of broken vendor promises, but when it came to critical enterprisewide software implementations, the bigger picture mattered most.
Wailgum admits that sometimes the threat of legal action is useful to "get vendors to return a call or fix the bugs infinitely faster than retaining an army of lawyers." But still he insists that "initiating a major lawsuit against a software vendor should be the very last option."
- Enormous cost of litigation.
- Odds against winning the case.
- Distraction from the business that the litigation would bring, as executives would need to participate in discovery, etc.
Generally, I would agree. I have seen one or two cases over thirty years where there may have been a clear misrepresentation and the threat of legal action was justified. Generally, though, vendors recognize their culpability in such cases and they get settled long before they reach court.
But I've seen more cases where the customer simply didn't do its homework and bought into the vendor's sales pitch without due diligence. Rather than admit that they didn't really understand what they were getting into, customers feel the need to blame the vendor. Legal action is a way of saving face. The problem is more acute among small companies, where the whole decision might be made by the owner. In larger companies, there is often enough shared leadership to prevent a purely emotional response. And better legal advice as well.
So, if lawsuits against vendors are generally counter-productive, what's the alternative? As indicated above, doing one's homework up front is the key. Software decisions, especially in small and mid-size businesses, are still too often being made based on too little information. Key requirements are not defined. Critical business processes are not mapped. Software demonstrations are based on the vendor's scenarios instead of the customer's. References are not checked, or they are limited to those that the vendor provides. And customers underestimate the resources that they will need to devote to the project to make the implementation successful.
There are many other keys to successfully implementing major systems. But I agree that legal action is not one of them.by Frank Scavo, 5/15/2008 08:56:00 AM | permalink | e-mail this!

Workday: evidence of SaaS adoption by large firms
Workday, the on-demand HR system provider, has signed up two new mega-clients: Flextronics and Chiquita (hat tip: Vinnie Mirchandani), providing evidence that software-as-a-service (SaaS) is not just an option for small companies.
Workday is a new human capital management (HCM) system provider, founded by David Duffield after he sold is previous software company, PeopleSoft, to Oracle.
According to Information Week, the Flextronics deal is huge, and Workday won in a bake-off with all the major traditional enterprise system vendors, including SAP and Oracle:Flextronics, which designs and manufacturers parts for automotive, cell phone, and computer companies and grossed $28 billion in sales last year, selected Workday HCM to replace some 80 HR systems being used by the company in 30 countries, said Flextronics CIO David Smoley. The decision, he said, involved a "direct comparison with all the alternative, on-premise [software] vendors," which likely includes SAP and Oracle.The deal with Chiquita is also large, covering 26,000 employees.
As a green field development effort, Duffield's company is creating a pure SaaS offering without the encumbrance of a legacy on-premise product. Though such offerings have had some success in smaller organizations, have had a mixed track in larger companies. Salesforce.com is the best known example, in the CRM arena, and relatively successful as a choice for large organizations. On the other hand, Netsuite, which attempts to provide the entire range of ERP functionality, has had some rough sledding even among smaller implementations.
Workday is the latest high profile attempt at establishing an enterprise-class solution on an on-demand platform, this one specifically for human capital management (HCM), with functionality also rolling out for financials, purchasing, and payroll. The projects at Flextronics and Chiquita have just begun, and success is not guaranteed. But if successful, they will offer an existence proof that SaaS adoption is moving up-market to large organizations.
It will be a good sign and a welcome trend.
Update, 4:43 p.m.: Workday's wins are getting a lot of attention from other bloggers as well. Phil Wainewright notes that SAP must be really hurting with the loss of Flextronics to Workday. He also mentions that Salesforce.com is going live internally on Workday's HCM service, "extending its ambition to switch completely to on-demand products for its own internal use."
Dennis Howlett has lots of good insight, coming from his close association with Workday. He explains why Workday has found itself going after large customers, which wasn't its original intent. He also points out the nascent threat that Workday poses to SAP and Oracle:Of course, SAP in particular is not standing idly: its developing its own SaaS ERP offering for the SMB market, its Business ByDesign. But Workday's wins show that it will be facing new competition when it gets there.
The customers Workday is winning - it has 40 - are those that want to get off Oracle/SAP. Until now, there hasn't been a choice that offers enough of an overall compelling package to make the switch....Workday is in the right place at the right time, which is more luck than judgment.

Custom systems: alternative to ERP
Vinnie Mirchandani brings up an interesting point: outside of the manufacturing industry, the major ERP vendors have a much more difficult time breaking into core operational functions.
Upon returning last week from SAP's Sapphire conference, he writes:I asked two SAP executives - Jim Hagemann Snabe and Bob Stutz - at Sapphire about such verticals [such as banking, utilities, insurance, and health care]. Jim acknowledged that legacy, typically custom-developed vertical applications, have been tough to displace particularly in the US. In a few deals where I have seen SAP vertical proposals, I can tell you the "displacement" is tough because SAP's [total cost of ownership] (particularly those of its SI partners) has not been compelling. You could custom develop that functionality again for cheaper. Just maintaining the legacy apps is even cheaper.True ERP is found almost uniquely in manufacturing firms
Vinnie hints at a point that is not widely recognized. In big companies, ERP--real ERP that forms the core transactional processing platform for cross-functional business processes of an organization--is still largely a manufacturing industry phenomena. Outside of the manufacturing sector what you generally have is custom-developed systems, or commercial software for specific business functions, interfaced (at best) with the "horizontal" (cross-industry) modules (e.g. accounting, HR) of the major vendors.
So, when a major vendor speaks of having a strong presence in healthcare, banking, or insurance, what they mean is that they sell a lot of their accounting, HR, business intelligence, or CRM modules into that industry. What they are not doing is replacing all the industry-specific systems for those customers.
Now, to be fair, Oracle is an exception in certain industries. In 2005, Oracle acquired I-flex, a vendor of core banking systems. Earlier that year, Oracle acquired Retek, a leading provider of retail systems. But still, it would be really, really interesting to find out how many of Oracle's customers are running all Oracle software, now three years later. I'm sure there are some, but I doubt there are many.
The reason is that the manufacturing industry has had over 30 years to figure out how cross-functional business functions should look in an integrated system. Starting with the so-called MRP revolution of the 1970s and continuing with MRP II systems of the 1980s, and ultimately ERP in the 1990s, there is now pretty much widespread agreement on the logical architecture of an integrated system for a manufacturing enterprise.
Business case often weak for replacing legacy systems
Today it is rare to find a manufacturing company writing its own material planning or shop floor control systems. Perhaps in some very specialized niches, but it's rare. Not so in banking, or insurance, or retail. Those industries are loaded with examples of companies that continue to run the core of their businesses with custom-developed software. The business case for replacing those systems--especially with those of a vendor that wants to charge 22% of the net license fee, annually, for maintenance (i.e. Oracle and now SAP). Maybe for HR, or financials, where I can justify the cost in terms of not being responsible for regulatory changes. But for my core systems? No way.
Again, for smaller companies, I think packaged software makes a better business case for non-manufacturing sectors. Many have far less investment in legacy systems and have far fewer resources to develop or maintain custom systems. But for large multi-national organizations in, say, banking, insurance, energy, transportation, or utilities, it's hard for me to imagine them standardizing all of their core operational systems on a single vendor such as SAP or Oracle.
I would love to be offered some evidence to the contrary. If you know of any, let me know.
An alternative to ERP
Where does this leave organizations that do not see the value in replacing core custom systems? The answer is to make an investment in refreshing such systems. For a fraction of the cost of ripping out and replacing legacy software, an organization can make a concerted effort to invest in modernization, training, documenting, and even redeveloping these critical operational systems.
Such an approach has its own drawbacks, of course, in terms of an organization's ability sustain a professional software development team. But in terms of overall cost and risk of disruption, refreshing a legacy system can be an attractive alternative.
Update, May 13: Sigurd Rinde writes in the comments section that ERP has not taken hold in certain non-manufacturing sectors because business in those sectors is largely non-transactional:...the core for health, government, education and consulting is mainly Barely Repeatable Processes where each event/task can lead to many user chosen changes to the workflow path (a physician with an Xray in hand..)I disagree. Core processes in healthcare, for example, are highly transactional: appointments, patient visits, diagnoses, treatments, patient charges, prescriptions, insurance claims, reimbursements--these are all transactions. The fact that EDI is such a big part of healthcare confirms the transactional nature of the business.
Rather, I think the problem goes back to the history of application development in each industry. I may be not as familiar with the evolution of business systems in non-manufacturing sectors, but I don't believe there has been the same concerted effort in such sectors to establish a standard view of core business processes as there has been in manufacturing. APICS played a big role in this effort, and I don't know of a corollary in other industries. Again, my knowledge may be limited, so I welcome correction on this point.
More discussion between Sig and me in the comments section.

SAP encounters rough patch with Business Objects
There are indications that SAP is not having an easy time with its new ownership of Business Objects. According to a note late last month on DM Review, Business Objects emailed its customers to apologize for "issues related to poor service including delayed deliveries of the company's technology."The email originally sent to customers and forwarded to DM Review was signed by Pascal Clement, VP of Enterprise Information Management at SAP/Business Objects. It stated in part, "As we look back at the past several weeks, it is painfully obvious that our internal system issues have brought challenges and unwanted distractions to your ongoing operation of Business Objects software solutions. To be specific, many customers have not been able to receive our technologies in a timely manner. You have our most sincere apology for these issues and also our total dedication toward immediate resolution."Responding to DM Review's report, Franz Aman, VP of Business Intelligence Platform Marketing at SAP/Business Objects, then issued a statement:"Recently a small number of SAP/Business Objects data quality customers have had difficulty receiving technology support in a timely manner. We acknowledge the situation and sincerely apologize for this temporary inconvenience. Issues with migration are currently being resolved and we have put additional resources and staff to address the issues immediately. Customer support managers have all been apprised of these measures and we did not hesitate to contact our customers directly as well."It's hard to tell whether these problems are related to the SAP acquisition of Business Objects last year, or whether they would have happened anyway. Nevertheless, they take some of the wind out of SAP's sails, which was recently boasting that Business Objects was taking deals away from Oracle for business intelligence solutions.

Enterprise software sales holding up, despite soft economy
We know that IT spending is not immune to an economic downturn. Our current research at Computer Economics shows a definite softening of IT executive expectations for spending growth in 2008. "Anemic growth" is how we described the IT spending outlook back in December. Preliminary results from our IT spending survey currently underway seems to be confirming that forecast.
Nevertheless, anecdotal reports seem to indicate that enterprise software sales--or at least buyer activity--seem to be continuing at a fairly strong pace. I know of several new deals in the early stages of evaluation here in Southern California, and vendor personnel in this area are reporting quite a bit of activity and interest. It certainly doesn't sound or feel like the early part of this decade, when things came to a screeching halt.
On the other hand, several vendors are reporting quarterly numbers beneath expectations. Oracle, SAP, Epicor, and others missed or came in at the low end of their forecasts. Even Infor, which is privately held, has reportedly told its investors that new license deals are slowing or being deferred to future periods. None of this is surprising in light of economic uncertainty. What is notable, however, is that the misses are not big, and certainly not what we'd expect in a major downturn.
Confirming this view, Josh Greenbaum reports from SAP's Sapphire conference in Orlando that enterprise software sales are better than they appear.If you look at SAP's last quarter, and believe the formal and informal guidance they're making about the current quarter, and catch the buzz on the conference show floor, then the possibility that SAP, and much of the enterprise software market it represents, are relatively recession-proof starts gaining real credence.He concludes by crediting the shift in vendor attention to how to deliver real business value to customers:The bottom line is that years of pushing the value of enterprise software in terms of its contribution to productivity and cost-savings is paying off once again. And years of honing a marketing message that focuses on delivering business value to line of business managers — the men and women who are stealing the prerogative of software spending from the CIO — is paying off in real spending on enterprise software. Especially in recessionary times, this spend to save message works well, even if it takes a little more time to make the sale and a few more layers of management to give the approval. SAP is not alone in this trend, but their example is a particularly strong one. It may be that 2008 will be a year of relative abundance for enterprise software vendors, even as belts are tightening at the very customers who are making this abundance possible.Josh might be overstating the case a bit. I think credit also goes to IT executives that have been operating under quite a bit of spending restraint over the past five years, in spite of economic good times. With fewer excesses in good times there is less pressure for drastic cuts in bad times.
The uneven nature of the current downturn is also a factor. Financial services, consumer goods, and home building sectors are the industries that are hardest hit and where IT spending is under greatest pressure. U.S. companies that have significant export business are actually benefiting from the weaker dollar. Those firms may be actually increasing their investment in IT to support their international markets.
Whatever the reason, signs that enterprise software sales are holding up is good news, for vendors and customers alike.by Frank Scavo, 5/07/2008 03:53:00 PM | permalink | e-mail this!

Rimini Street to provide third-party support for SAP
As if it didn't have enough on its plate providing third-party support contracts for Oracle customers, Rimini Street is getting ready to do the same thing for the SAP installed base.
So says a press release from Rimini Street this morning from SAP's Sapphire conference in Orlando. (The release is not yet posted on the firm's website.) Rimini Street claims much interest from SAP's installed base in having an alternative to SAP's support contracts.
Vendors' money grab
One major driver in the interest from SAP clients is SAP's increase in maintenance fees. Formerly an annual charge of 17% of the client's software license cost, software maintenance pricing now risen to 22%, which just happens to match Oracle's pricing.
From SAP's perspective, I suppose it felt it was leaving money on the table. From the client's perspective, however, it's hard to understand why it is necessary, in essence, to completely repay for their system every four years.
The ability of Oracle and SAP to get away with charging 22% for software maintenance shows how much pricing power is in the hands of the major vendors. They may do whatever it takes in terms of initial license fees to win the deal, knowing that once they are the incumbent, the 22% is a recurring revenue stream. More and more, for these two players, ERP is all about maintenance revenues. I don't know of any customers that feel this level of pricing is justified.
The business case for third-party support
Rimini Street, which claims its revenue quadrupled in 2007, is taking advantage of this gap between the vendors' price and value delivered. Ironically, SAP itself tried to exploit the same situation by buying TomorrowNow, which offers third-party support for Oracle products. (In another twist, TomorrowNow was co-founded by Seth Ravin, the founder of Rimini Street). But Oracle was able to, essentially, shut down TomorrowNow's business by suing SAP and TomorrowNow last year for "massive theft" of Oracle's intellectual property. That case is still in the discovery phase.
How long can Rimini Street avoid being in the cross-hairs of Oracle (and now SAP)? I have no doubt that the firm has plenty of legal advice and all the necessary policies, procedures, and practices in place to defend itself in the event of a lawsuit similar to that brought by Oracle against TomorrowNow. At the same time, you can't stop someone from suing you.
I regret that Oracle's legal action against TomorrowNow is probably scaring away other potential new entrants into the third-party maintenance business for SAP and Oracle. That's too bad. A thriving third-party support industry would go a long way toward keeping the vendor's money grab in check.

These days, business clients expect instant price estimates when they contact manufacturers for quotes. Providing a quote upon initial inquiry has now become much more streamlined and is no longer a significant bottleneck in the sales cycle. This is due in part to the rise of configure-price-quote (CPQ) software.
We've created this guide to help you understand what CPQ software is and how it can benefit your business. In this guide, we'll cover:
(Click on a link below to jump to that section.)
What Is CPQ Software?
Common Features of CPQ Solutions
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Pricing Models
CPQ software is used by sales professionals to provide cost estimates for custom orders, often in the context of a built-to-order manufacturing operation. With a CPQ solution, a salesperson can use requirements, order volume and other details from the client to generate an estimate on the spot. It is critical for streamlining the sales process and ensuring that sales prospects do not fall through the cracks because they did not receive a prompt estimate.
CPQ software often integrates with a manufacturer's customer relationship management (CRM) system, and in some cases with their material requirements planning (MRP) system, further streamlining the sales-to-manufacturing process. In other situations, the CPQ solution might be one module within a broader CRM or MRP suite.
Although each system is likely to have its own unique characteristics that may make it a better or worse fit for your business, there are a handful of core features common to most CPQ solutions. In the table below, we take a look at those common features you'll find in most products:
|Provides detailed reports and data, typically in a dashboard format, of sales KPIs and other business metrics of how the CPQ system has been used in the past. Some platforms can do forecasting or other predictive analytics to gauge what future sales and configurations will be like.
|Guided selling
|Sales professionals can easily find suitable products automatically, based on the client's needs and requirements.
|Price and quote
|The core feature of a CPQ system, price and quote sets the price based on a client's requirements and delivers the quote to the client.
|Renewal management
|Assists sales professionals in maintaining standing orders or renewed orders with their clients.
|Product configuration
|Allows businesses to set logic rules for how products can be configured and what degree of customization a customer can choose.
|Mobile compatibility
|Many CPQ platforms offer mobile compatible apps for sales professionals that are on the go. These apps are usually just as fully featured as their desktop counterparts.

CPQ software is most often used by midsize and larger organizations with extensive product lines or those that offer a large degree of customization for customers when ordering.
The types of businesses most likely to deploy a CPQ solution usually have large sales teams who must be continuously kept in the loop about product changes and development. CPQ software is also used by sales teams that have trouble managing and neatly organizing a large volume of custom sales orders and inquiries.
That said, smaller businesses that are growing rapidly may wish to deploy CPQ software, as it can give them a competitive edge by enabling them to quickly turn around price quotes back to customers.
Most modern CPQ systems are cloud-based and typically priced as a monthly subscription, based on the size of the buyer's business or the number of named users. The advantages of cloud-based systems include:
However, some CPQ software vendors might offer CPQ software that is hosted on-premise and priced as a perpetual license. Typically with perpetual licenses, however, annual fees for support and maintenance still apply.
There are benefits and drawbacks to both pricing models. Smaller organizations tend to be attracted to the lower upfront costs associated with monthly subscriptions.
However, be aware that the total cost of ownership (TCO) of subscription-based products tends to converge with that of perpetual license-based products over time. While you'll pay less upfront for a subscription, the subscription fee recurs monthly, whereas with a perpetual license, recuring fees are much lower and tend to be less frequent (e.g. annual fees for maintenance or upgrades).

Wisdom is the spiritual discernment required to live a truly balanced life which is why the book of Proverbs in the Old Testament says, "above all else seek wisdom."
The reason that there are so many well educated, knowledgeable people who lack the ability to make wise decisions, is that wisdom doesn't come from the rational mind. Wisdom comes from your intuitive heart.
There is an ancient Hebrew tradition In Jewish Mysticism, of placing the hands over the heart during prayer in order to get in touch with the wisdom of the heart.
I like to do that when I pray because, as the energy of my heart begins to pulsate in my hands, I remember that, although I live in a body, I am so much more than that body. The act of placing my hands over my heart when I pray reminds me that the Spirit part of me is so much greater than my humanness.
There are many stories in the Bible that reveal heart wisdom, but one of my favorites is the story of Noah and his Ark. Like Noah, regardless of what we want to see happen in our lives, heart wisdom always leads us to begin by planning ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah began to build his Ark. Like Noah, even though we can't see the whole picture, we need to begin taking steps in the general direction in which we hope to go regardless of how crazy it may seem to us at first and to those around us. Sometimes, our heart wisdom moves us forward in ways that don't seem rational, but like Noah, we need to trust that heart wisdom to lead us forward.
When Noah began working toward his vision, many must have had thoughts he was crazy, but he didn't listen to his critics. He just kept on keeping on with the project at hand. Dream killers are all around you ready to rain on your parade, but like Noah, you can ignore them and detach from their opinion of your plan. Remember that there is a Spirit in you that not only knows what is the best direction for you to take, but it is always moving you in a forward direction.
There will be times doing this process of trusting your intuitive heart, that you will be afraid to take another step. When that happens, like the ark, just float. As a psychologist, I always tell my clients "when in doubt, don't." What that means is that instead of attempting to make heart-centered decisions when you feel fear-based, wait until that feeling of fear passes. Then continue to move forward trusting that spirit that "knows" to lead you in the way that you should go.
The Rev. Julia Johnson, Ph.D, is the minister at Unity Church of Hilton Head Island.

Nestled between two rolling hills and beside a brook,monsoon brings out the true spirit and colours of the Hills, the calm brook transforms itself into a roaring rivulet, complete with a gushing waterfall, changing it's color from a pale greenish blue to a coffee brown - complete with foam.
Monsoon winds which competes to unsettle your hair, cool your skin & recharge your batteries, also brings in the rain clouds that envelops you, mesmerizing your senses with a blissful peace. It's quite a visual treat to enjoy the changes in climate from warm sunny day, to a cloudy overcast & breezy one and then to drizzling foggy setting all within a few hours.
This homestay is right on the Vagamon - Pullikkanam Road, about 4KM from the sleepy town of Vagamon. It is run by Jose M Thomas Roy & Lily Roy who together has built this beautiful summer home for themselves & their family. On seeing the happiness, blissfulness of everyone who visited & stayed with them, they decided to share the happiness with the world.
CheersBye © 2019

Lotus used to be a company that made cars. Now it's a car company. Revealing five new vehicles at the 2010 Paris auto show is an unprecedented feat for the people from Norwich. Thing is, they all begin with E and they all look rather similar. But who would complain about a surfeit of sports cars?
Let's start with the Elan: 4.0-liter engine, supercharged for 450 hp, seven-speed twin-clutch transmission, zero to 60 mph in a breathtaking 3.5 seconds. It's set for a 2013 release date and could cost $118,500. There might even be a kinda-hybrid in the works, based on the not-exactly-popular Formula One-derived Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS). The traditionalist might be upset to learn that the new Elan has its engine mounted just behind the two front seats, rather than in the nose, like Elans of yore. Ah well.
The Eterne does have an engine up front, a V8 that displaces five liters and makes 620 hp. It also gets some help from KERS. Oh, and it has four doors. In the name of all that's lightweight, we're talking about a Lotus hybrid sedan here. With optional all-wheel drive. If everything keeps to plan, the Eterne will go into production in 2015 with an MSRP in the region of $190,000.
One E-word from the Lotus annals is Esprit. There's going to be a new one, running the same 5.0-liter V8 found in the Lexus IS F sport sedan, but supercharged. In this application, it will be tuned to 620 hp, whip the car from nothing to 60 mph in under 3.5 seconds, and enable a top speed of 205 mph. Like the old Esprit, this iteration also has a mid-mounted engine. But the old one didn't have the option of KERS or cost $175,000. Expect the new Esprit in 2013.
Back in the day (1958 and 1974), Lotus made the Elite. The first was beautiful, the second was not. This one... well, it depends on the beholder. It's going to be a damn sight heavier thanks to a folding hardtop. Then again, 611 hp from a mid-mounted 5.0-liter V8 will put a spring in its metaphorical step. The date is set for 2014, the damage is set for $180,000.
Last, there is, for all intents and purposes, the third generation of Elise. In case anyone is confused, the U.S. never had the Mark I. And to get this model, we will have to wait until 2015 and then hand over $55,000. As well as a higher price and greater weight, the Mark III will enjoy more in the way of creature comforts and human access. Forced induction is also in the cards. If the production car ends up looking like this, there shouldn't be a problem. Lotus purists can always strip the cabin.

Edible Maize Embryo Oil Refining EquipmentProduct Description
Edible Maize Embryo Oil Refining Equipment:
High efficiency Edible Maize Embryo Oil Refining Equipment flow chart
The Edible Maize Embryo Oil Refining Equipment:
crude maize oil â degumming&dephosphorization â deacidification â drying â decolorization â deodorization â defatting â dewaxing â product oil.
Refining methods:
oil refining is according to the different usage and requirements, utilizing the physical methods and chemical processes to get rid of the harmful impurities and needless substance in the crude oil, getting standard oil.
Advantages of refining craft:
1. After refining the impurity of oil must be less than 0.2% ;
2.Recycling system save power and money;
3.Lower oil waste.
Method of hydration degumming:
Using the hydrophilic groups in oils,add certain amount of hot water or dilute of acid, alkali,salt or other electrolyte solution,to make the colliod swell and condense. then sedimentating and separating.The sedimentation of colliod called nigre.Low temperature hydration 20- 30 degree,High temperature hydration 80-90 degree.
Add acid degumming:
Adding organic or inorganic acid to change the structure of colloid,to achieve the purpose of easy sedimentating.Add 85% phosphoric acid,the amount of oil 0.1%-1% , which was fully stirred under the 60-80 degree,then the mixed solution is fed into a centrifuge to colliod separation .
2, Deacidification
Alkali refining:
Adding alkali to neutralize fatty acids and formed soap and water.we usually take the sodium-hydroxide solubilization.
Alkali refining itself has a comprehensive role in the deacidification, degumming, removal of impurities and bleaching:1.Neutralization of FFA to form soap ,2 the soap adsorption protein and a small amount of mechanical impurities together sedimentating.
Distillation deacidification:
Using direct steam heating, the free fatty acids and low molecular weight substances are discharged together with steam in a vacuum condition.
3, Decoloration :
Adsorption bleaching:
Using adsorbent to adsorb the pigment and other impurities in the oil,then through the filtering to removal the adsorbent and impurities.
Adsorption material :activated clay , activated carbon
4, Deodorization:
Vacuum steam method, hydrogenation method, chemical drugs method.
Vacuum steam deodorization: Since the different volatility of odor substances and triglycerides in oils. Under the conditions of high temperature and vacuum, using steam distillation, let the odor compounds and water vapor escape together and achieve the purpose of deodorization.
5, Dewaxing
The waxiness is the polymer that combine fatty acid and monohydric alcohol .Its melting point at 78-82 degree
Oil dewaxing is using the great difference melting properties between oil and wax , by cooling and crystallization and filtration or centrifugation to seperate oil and waxiness.
