Cobb rejected the tax with 85,412 votes against it — 69 percent — and 38,703 votes for it — 31 percent.
Across the 10-county region, voters rejected the tax with 415,526 'no' votes — 63 percent — and 248,319 'yes' votes — 37 percent.
County Chairman Tim Lee, who chose Cobb's project list, said he didn't know what would happen at the ballot box.
"I thought it would be closer, but it is what it is," Lee said. "My reaction is that this was an issue put out in front of the people as to whether or not the
solution was one that they believed solved the problem that's in front of us, which is real. What we need to do now is regroup, get together and continue to work to identify a solution for the problem that's in front of us and that's the transportation bottlenecks that exist. My point is this: this solution was presented by the legislators and the community at large, it was decided the community did not like the solution, and all that means is that we need to continue to work harder to promote a solution that could be agreeable to the folks out there."
TSPLOST opponent Ron Sifen of Vinings, who campaigned hard against the tax, said he was pleased with the outcome.
"Cobb County voters have spoken and the Atlanta region has spoken," Sifen said. "21 politicians failed to deliver a projects list that addressed the region's transportation needs."
Sifen said the TSPLOST tax dollars were supposed to go toward reducing traffic congestion.
"Pro-TSPLOST ads claimed people would have more time with their families," Sifen said. "Voters figured out that the pro-TSPLOST hype was false, and that too much of the money was going to benefit special interests but would not reduce traffic congestion."
The General Assembly placed 21 politicians in a room to decide the project list, Sifen said.
"21 politicians made political decisions that were bad transportation decisions. I urge the Legislature to recognize this aspect of what went wrong and fix it. Any Plan B needs to start with criteria that requires the money in the Atlanta region to be spent on projects that are cost-effective and will effectively reduce traffic congestion."
TSPLOST cheerleader Tad Leithead, who chairs the Atlanta Regional Commission and Cumberland Community Improvement District, said one of the biggest challenges for the campaign was the unexpected passion of the opposition.
"I was surprised at the level of energy behind the opposition, particularly because much of the opposition was mounted by elected officials who originally supported the concept," Leithead said.
Nearly all of the Republicans in the Cobb Legislative Delegation said they planned to vote no on the TSPLOST, with the exception of state Rep. Sharon Cooper (R-east Cobb), who said she "still believes in the privacy of the ballot box" and would not announce whether she's "for or against something just because it's the politically expedient thing to do."
Leithead said opponents thought the process was a good one, but that the project list itself didn't properly address the region's needs.
"I do take it at face value that they believe in many cases that it's too heavy on transit," Leithead said. "Having said that, I believe this is an excellent project list, that transit is an extremely necessary component. (Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reid) said at (a Monday morning press conference) that this is a very good balance between a $3 billion investment in transit and $3 billion investment in roads, and so everybody got an incremental investment in what was important to them and that it's very balanced, and I agree with all of that, so I think it's a little bit of a mystery to me."
The primary factor of the TSPLOST's defeat was the anti-tax sentiment spurred by the economic downtown, Leithead said.
"We're in an environment where people's economic situation is in some danger, at some risk, and therefore a vote to increase taxes at this point was not looked upon favorably," he said.
TSPLOST supporter and Atlanta Business Chronicle publisher Ed Baker touched on this point recently when he said, "If this had been 10 years ago ... when the economy was booming and everything was wonderful, and we were lighting our cigars with $5 bills, we wouldn't be having this big discussion."
Leithead said there was also some concern that the funds would not be spent as advertised, a position he completely rejects, but said "trust in government is at an all-time low, and some people simply don't trust the process."
Lee said there wasn't one reason for the TSPLOST's defeat.
"There's so many reasons that I've heard over the last months why individuals don't like it from they don't like the list, they don't like the fact that even if we vote against it and it wins in the region that we have to be a part of it," Lee said. "Others just don't like it because it's a tax. If you got a faction here that doesn't like it because it's a tax, and a group over here doesn't like it because the list, a group over here doesn't like it because it doesn't have the governance, you add all those up you now get a majority. Each on their own wouldn't have won."
Yet Lee said he does not take it as a personal rebuke that the TSPLOST was rejected.
"I put the list together with Mark Mathews and the other elected officials in the region and what we thought was best for the future of Cobb County based on what we know, what I know, what I've studied as it relates to the existing studies, transportation trends, commute habits, businesses and what they've told me they want in considering whether to move, whether to grow and whether to move out, I took all that into consideration in putting the list together," Lee said. "If the community at large is not ready to move in that direction, as a leader I need to be responsive to that and reorganize and continue to come up with ways to address the transportation problems in the region. I don't think anyone can argue there is a issue. What we're debating and having a very, very good debate on is what's the best way to solve it. So if this solution fails then I'm not going to sit back and say 'that's a personal attack,'" Lee said prior to the final results coming in Tuesday evening. "I'm going to say 'OK that issue failed. Now we have to hunker down, pull our boot straps up and look at another issue and address the issue because the issue's got to be resolved.'"
State Sen. Lindsey Tippins (R-west Cobb), who was elected to office after the TSPLOST legislation was approved, but who came out against the project list, said voters didn't believe the benefits outweighed the cost.
Success of a voter-approved tax initiative comes from whether voters believe at the end of the taxing period they'll be better off than they were to start with, Tippins said. It also comes from whether they believe they're getting close to a dollar's worth of benefits to a dollar's worth of tax.
Then there was the largest line item on Cobb's project list chosen by Lee and Mathews.
"The ambiguity of the bus rapid transit piece with it not being able to define what it is or give it any conclusion whatsoever until after the alternatives analysis study comes back … those kinds of unknowns are what would cost any initiative voter support," Tippins said.
Tippins is referring to the $689 million earmarked for "enhanced premium transit service," from Acworth to the MARTA Arts Center Station in Midtown, which Lee said would have been used for bus rapid transit and may have been upgraded to light rail with federal funding.
Any time a project list is placed before voters, it must be clearly defined, and the TSPLOST initiative mostly was, Tippins said.
"But speaking specifically of Cobb County, the biggest project in Cobb County, a $689 million price tag which would be about 70 percent of what Cobb County would yield out of it, I think, is a big question mark," Tippins said. "It could be bus rapid transit. It could be light rail and nobody knows, and even if it's bus rapid transit what it's going to be is not very clear as to what the expectation would be."
That the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority would make the final determination on what the end product would look like because it was a transit project did not build confidence, Tippins said.
"There's just a huge — I don't know if there is a distrust or a mistrust, but I think certainly an uneasiness — when government fails to clearly state what a taxing initiative is going to be," Tippins said prior to the final votes coming in. "This is new, obviously it's 10 counties involved in this, but I think specifically with Cobb the anxiety level is pretty high because it's pretty short on specifics and details."
Mayor Steve Tumlin spoke about the anti-tax, anti-government sentiment in Cobb.
"There's no economic data that makes us feel good, and they feel like they're paying enough tax as it is now," said Tumlin, who neither endorsed nor opposed the tax.
"Secondly, I think most of the people I talk to if they're voting against it would rather have seen more road work than rail work. How do you get from my neighborhood to downtown Atlanta or to Norcross? And I think they would have loved to have seen more interchanges, asphalt, as opposed to rail or bus lines. I think we as a society still love our cars and not getting into some of the issues that were raised about MARTA, I can't really address those, but I think we like our cars so much we want to be able to move in our cars to get to our jobs and destinations."
The tax would have collected $7.2 billion in the 10-county metro area. Of that amount, $6.14 billion worth of projects were chosen by the Atlanta Regional Roundtable. The remaining 15 percent, or $1.1 billion, would have been chosen at the local level.
Cobb's portion of the 85 percent was $984 million, and Cobb's portion of the 15 percent was $178 million.
Factoring in inflation, the total collection for the 10-county area rises to $8.5 billion, Atlanta Regional Commission spokesman Jim Jaquish said.
The TSPLOST campaign took the form of two efforts. One was the "education" side led by developer Bob Voyles and lobbyist Michael Paris called the Metro Atlanta Voter Education Network, which raised $2.1 million largely funded by CIDs along with other groups like WellStar Health System.
Then there was the advocacy arm of the campaign, Citizens for Transportation Mobility, chaired by Post Properties CEO Dave Stockert, which raised about $6.5 million, Leithead said.
Some said the TSPLOST supporters did themselves no favors by the tactics used. For instance, Chris Leinberger with the Washington, D.C.-based Brookings Institution chided metro Atlanta for "racializing" MARTA. Leinberger also said the goal of having a rail system is not for traffic relief, but for economic development.
Lee also resorted to name calling, referring to TSPLOST opponents as spoiled brats and in some cases even racists.
Baker warned that he was keeping a list of Republican lawmakers who opposed the tax increase and that they would be held accountable "in a different way than before" for undermining the proposed tax's importance.
Stockert attempted to sell the tax by saying, "We don't have quite the same sex appeal that we once did, and we've got to get it back."
Stockert moreover scoffed at lawmakers who suggested there was a better way of doing things, calling them "absolutely naïve."
That comment brought a response from state Rep. Rich Golick (R-Smyrna), who warned that it was hardly wise to insult the very lawmakers you would need on your side in the future if the tax proposal went down in flames.
Cobb Chamber CEO David Connell went so far as to shrilly declare that the failure to pass the TSPLOST would be "the worst thing that ever happened to Atlanta."
And Paul Bennecke, founder of Red Clay Strategies, attempted to guilt opponents into supporting the tax, saying, "Shame on you for being so selfish."
Some voters were also outraged by the way Secretary of State Brian Kemp worded the ballot. The anti-TSPLOST Transportation Leadership Coalition hired Atlanta attorney Pitts Carr to challenge what the group believes is biased language Kemp wrote on the ballot.
The ballot language raising the ire of the anti-tax group is a preamble that says the TSPLOST "provides for local transportation projects to create jobs and reduce traffic congestion with citizen oversight."
"It is very improper for anyone to use a ballot for advocacy, and this is like having a billboard in support of Referendum 1 right on the ballot," Carr said.
Now that the tax has been voted down, Leithead said the question becomes what happens next.
"We continue to move forward," Leithead said. "We have the Plan 2040, the $7.4 billion TIP investment that we made over the next six years, and if I understand correctly the legislators who have opposed this have said they would bring forward almost immediately a new plan for transportation investment here in the region, so I would look forward to seeing that plan and hope that we could in future years put something in place that would allow us to address this issue, but right now I don't know exactly what that solution would look like or exactly what it would be."

That sounds like something I would do if I got drunk!
well, lastnight went pretty well. We had 38 on the books and it jumped up to 56 by the start of service. Of course, tuesday night was wine dinner. The first course was a roasted garlic bisque with fresh made basil and goat cheese raviolis (spinach pasta). Second course was a grilled 4 oz filet with scalloped potatoes, baby carrots and a porcini mushroom jus. Third course was a marinated french green bean salad with orange segments and microgreens. toasted almonds were also added. Fourth course was a warm summer fruit gelatin with marscapone sorbet. It all went well with the wines. There were also some other items like a lemon and thyme crusted salmon with wild mushroom timbale, sauteed asparagus, & crabmeat beurre blanc. Sous vide taris major, Like a tenderlion portion of beef . and we ran a sauteed monkfish special. The grill went real smooth lastnight. Saute was weeded real bad. But, our saute guy is heading back to school in a few weeks and our garde manger guy is moving back home. So, its gonna be a new line up on the line. Just after we got our stuff together too!!! We'll see. Ill keep youu guys informed if your still interested.
Just read the whole thread and am digging it. Keep going. Very interesting stuff.
thanks for the imput guys, ya'll are the ones that keep me keep this thread going. Tonight was pretty kick ass we had a 12 top order all off the grill, plus a 6 , and an 8yop, order at the same time all at once. 3/4 of the other 2 tables were grill. so at one time i had 2 tomahawk chops going, 9 taras majors going, 4 6oz filets, 3 triple chop orders, 2 4 ounce filets, and 3 amber jack fish. It was painful, not to mention 3 orders of grilled vegetables. We made it through. Tomorrow we have 50 on the books and counting. I made a home made worcestershire sauce that will be going with a 12 oz ny srip, sauteed spinach, and fried potatoes tossed with garlic, salt and pepper for saturday. I hope it sells. Heres the recipe if you guys want it:Worcestershire Sauce:
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Ea Onion Sliced
- 1 Cup Shrimp Shells or 1 Tbsp Chopped Anchovies
- 1 Tbsp Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Chopped Ginger (brunoise)

This recipe is the SHIZ!!!! I picked it up from the past chef that I worked for. For a steak, take a bit put it in a pan, mound it with butter and serve it with the steak. ItsI know, ya'll can say yeah ill get my store bought and be happy, but this is the real deal!
Fascinating stuff, keep the updates coming!I'm catching a lot of the lingo (y'all in the kitchen are almost as bad as us IT-types - speaking your own language), but I couldn't figure out what this meant:
"Tonight was pretty kick ass we had a 12 top order all off the grill, plus a 6 , and an 8yop, order at the same time all at once."
Are the numbers the number of people at a given table?
yes. when we refer to a top , that is the given amount of people at a table, 8 top= 8 people. 6 top- 6 people. To make a long story short. I had a lot of people come in at once
tonight was super crazy. Our Garde manger guy was in a car accident and is out till thursday. Chef Loaded us up with a super extensive menut with soem of the wildest flavor profiles I have ever seen. I had to break down cobia, mahi mahi, Yukon river salmon, lobster tails, regular salmon. We also had bronzini. We did Mojito marinated lamb chops (yes wuth rum, mint, and club soda). Our expo girl was on garde manger, our CMC eas expoing and we did about 75. Plus it was wine dinner night. Im pooped, Ive been in since 11am, and am just now outta there. Time to sit down to a glass of wine work on my requisition list for tomorrow.
How many of you kids have had to grind 2 lbs of fresh horseradish root in the hobart with the grater attachment. It literally takes your breath away, your eyes water, and is like tear gas.
Wow, that doesn't sound fun.What dish was that all used in?
Horseradish encrusted yukon river salmon with roasted garlic whipped potatoes, and lentils.
I keep asking you cooking tips, but now I ask for a recipe!Do you know how to make a good lentil soup?
I havent really messed wih lentil soup much . But, here is a recipe from food tv. Hope it helps.I took the time and I browsed a few a recipes and picked one which i thought might help. im gonna give it a shot myself2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
1 medium onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 pound lentils (approximately 1 1/4 cups)
11 cups low-salt chicken broth
4 to 6 fresh thyme sprigs
2/3 cup dried elbow pasta
1 cup shredded ParmesanHeat the oil in a heavy large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Add the garlic, salt, and pepper and saute until all the vegetables are tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juices. Simmer until the juices evaporate a little and the tomatoes break down, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Add the lentils and mix to coat. Add the broth and stir. Add the thyme sprigs. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and simmer over low heat until the lentils are almost tender, about 30 minutes.
Stir in the pasta. Simmer until the pasta is tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.Ladle the soup into bowls. Sprinkle with the Parmesan, drizzle with olive oil, and serve.
Oooooo Lentil's with pasta and cheese, sounds good! Let me know how it turns out.Also curious about the homemade Worchetshire saucer you made. You talked about a cup of shrimp shells. Is this just the outside of the shrimp, as in the shells which most people discard? And how do you use it in your sauce?

Also curious about the homemade Worchetshire saucer you made. You talked about a cup of shrimp shells. Is this just the outside of the shrimp, as in the shells which most people discard? And how do you use it in your sauce?Yes, its just the shrimp shells that are typically discarded. There is much flavor in crustacean shells. Lobster bisque is made using the discarded lobster bodies and shells. Well, when you start the worcestershire, you saute the shells with the oil in the bottom of the pot. You leave them in the pot the whole time while the sauce is reducing and strain them out at the end
well, yesterday was wild. We did over 2500 people at our place (outside Grilling, with picnic style fixins') We had beans, tomato caprezzi salad, potato salad, shrimp salad, coleslaw, also had bbq and a few other hot entrees, oh yeah, ribs too. But we had 4 grill stations setup with coolers full of burgers and hot dogs. There were 2 guys on each grill which was about 6ft wide. One man was starting them, flipping them and sending them down. and the other guy was finishing them with cheese and putting them on the peoples' plates. I went through a 120qt cooler of burgers in about 1 hour. It was CRAZY!!!!! We had a line that was about 200 yards long just at my station alone. I have blisters on 4 of my knuckles from the heat. I was allowed to wear my oakleys to prevent the smoke from getting into my eyes. We had a beautiful orchestrated fireworks ceremony, rumored the club spent $30k + on the fireworks/pyrotechnicians alone. Had pony rides for the kids, 6 bars, Häagen-Dazs ice cream booths and so much more.Then, i had to come back to work again today. We got in a Kobe beef strip and are running it with pommes frites and a port Jus. 42 dollar plate, sold 4 tonight. Also i have a grilled veggie stack which consists of grilled zucchini, squash, tomato, sauteed spinach, goat cheese, and grilled portabella on top. They are all cut with a ring mold and stacked in a mold. Done fresh daily.
We have a good day lined up for tomorrow. Many reservations, Later guys
Man that sounds like a crazy Fourth of July! Is that the most customers you guys will serve in a single day?
yes, that is the largest number of people i have done with our club. And the most I have done in my career. It was wild, We are closing the kitchen down this saturday for 2 weeks for repairs and remodling. Everyone is using up their vacation. I am heading back to VA. (where i moved from) for a week and ill be back the next. We are getting new walk-ins, ac unit, full kitchen repaint, new ovens, deep fryer, and smallwares. LIike a wee bit of a Christmas for us. Yesterday was a wierd night though. We had 25 on the books and ended up doing over 100 walk-ins between 8:00 and 10:00. Total count was like 128 . I got weeded a bit , but made it through. I havent posted much lately cause i was feeling like the interest on this thread had died off. But, i will be more than happy to keep it going if ya'll want me to.

wasabi bruniose potato salad - tell me more about this. Being Japanese I love wasabi, I'm really interested in what this recipie is like since I have wasabi and potatoes sitting at home.
Quote, originally posted by watanabe2k » wasabi bruniose potato salad - tell me more about this. Being Japanese I love wasabi, I'm really interested in what this recipie is like since I have wasabi and potatoes sitting at home. Forgive my retardedness, It wasnt a bruniose. It was a small dice. Not quite a brunoise though. But it consisted of small diced potato (blanch till al dente) meaning 'to the tooth' firm enough to stand up to being mixed without breaking down. add in wasabi powder, thinly sliced scallions, touch of sea salt, little bit of white pepper, bit of mayo, and I believe he put a touch of sesame oil (just s touch, not enough to make any oil deposits, just for a hint of flavor). I want to find out if he put any hb egg in it cause I am not sure. He had it prepped before i got in. But, this is what I can recall tasting and seeing.
Thats what I can recall right off hand, but I will make sure to get the exct recipe for you tonight. It was very nice though
Oooo, I think I will try a variation of this. Of course I don't like mayo, so I think I am gonna just go with wasabi and potatoes, with the scallions, salt, and pepper. Oh and I do have sesame oil! I love to put a touch in some of my dishes for the hint of flavor that you talked about!
thats awesome bro. Keep up the great work. Its an honor for you guys to try my recipes, and recipes that i see and offer.
Vermont Artisan cheeses...oh my...time for a Zingerman's run.Best thread in the Community forums. Keep up the great posts.
the ahi tuna springrolls are making my mouth water. Man, I was thinking about shecrab soup until I got home, now this. I need help.

Fort Bliss Movie Filming Underway
Actress Michelle Monaghan is at Fort Bliss filming a movie about a U.S. Army medic who returns from the war in Afghanistan.
The El Paso Times reported Sunday that the Hollywood star of "Source Code" and "Gone Baby Gone" fame joined soldiers, veterans and military family members to shoot takes of a scene for the upcoming film "Fort Bliss."
More than a 100 volunteer extras turned out to help with the scene, which portrayed a ceremony to welcome troops home.
Monaghan wore a camouflage uniform and marched in-step with servicemen and women at the deployment center.
She said it is an honor to play the role and added that "everyone here has been very welcoming and helpful."
Filming continues at the military post.

The Toyota Corolla compact sedan is one of the best-selling vehicles worldwide, nearing...
Two more drivers go home from Nissan GT Academy
Episode five premieres Thursday at 11:30 p.m.
Episode five of Nissan GT Academy premieres at 11:30 p.m. Thursday night on Spike TV. If you missed last week's show, don't worry, we have the footage and the review right here.
Episode four ended with eight of the 16 competitors left. Episode five starts at the Silverstone Circuit behind the wheel of a Nissan GT-R. The players have to outrun Boris Said, who trails behind in the Nissan Juke-R. Ex-NFL linebacker—and host of the show—Dhani Jones is in the passenger seat of the Juke with a remote-controlled paintball gun. The object is to avoid getting hit with a paintball for as long as possible.
The young competitors aren't much of a match for Said, and he is in an equally powerful car. Steven Doherty does the best in the contest, cementing his stay for at least one more week of challenges.
The second event is a four-man, Le Mans-style race with pit stops and tire changes. The eight players are split into two teams of four. The challenge is for each driver to change a tire and do two laps of the Stowe portion of the circuit. Team A jumps out to a lead before missing the pit box and losing a large amount of time. But in the end, Team B's gap is too much to overcome. Judges Danny Sullivan, Said and Maryeve Dufault are quick to point out that Team B made up a ton of time on the track, despite its problems in the pits.
In a switch from the previous weeks, the judges tell the drivers that three of them are on the cusp of losing their spot and give them a chance to explain why they should stay. Two of the three end up going home, leaving six to compete for a seat on a real race team.

The homburg was brought to England around the end of the 19th century by the late dandy King Edward VII, grandfather of the (in)famous Duke of Windsor. It is considered the second most formal style of headgear after the top hat that accompanies the tailcoat, and as such is the best choice to wear with black tie, should anyone ever wear a hat with black tie any longer. And since only you and I know its history the homburg has a further use as tongue in cheek daywear. 99% of homburgs are black or charcoal gray, but a brown one is both unexpected and elegant on the street. Indeed, my best memory of the style is an image of two very large men (think offensive linemen for an NFL football team) in a Jaguar XKR driving north of San Francisco with the top open in the sunshine, cigars in mouths and homburgs on their heads. It was hardly an occasion calling for a homburg but a look worthy of emulation nonetheless.
I have written in the past that I do not wear hats every day but do like them in a heavy fog/light rain in lieu of an umbrella and when driving with the top open to protect my head from sunburn. In midnight blue the new hat will complement complement gray as well as navy suits in those conditions as well as a dinner jacket in the unlikely event that it is ever worn with one. But the finish will be matte, and not lustrous.

My question is with Chris of this set. We had a bit of a weird situation that really only effected this set for the most part.
His level 1 says : While Chris is using only 1 weapon, that weapon gets - 20 ammo requirement.
His level 2 says: While Chris is using only 1 weapon type, weapons of that type get -20 ammo requirement.
So, the issue was with the Russian Assault Rifle, or any weapon costing X. The RAR says it can basically be loaded with a max of only 20 ammo, to deal 20 damage max, so can Chris use this weapon for free? Since its ammo requirement could be taken as 10-20 ammo? or does he still need to load it up?

If I explore with 1 explore, and turn over MA-038: Explosive Barrel from the mansion, does my current weapon get used or can I choose to use my current weapon + the 30 damage from MA-038: Explosive Barrel for the 2nd explore (derived from MA-038: Explosive Barrel)?

Merchandise Planning & Open To Buy
You are in the business of selling inventory, not owning it. How do you determine how much inventory to stock and how much to buy? Your open-to-buy is a budget that helps you create a plan to meet sales, profit and inventory-turn targets. Paul describes how this tool can help you plan your merchandise levels to stay liquid and maximize cash profits.
The Power of New
A retailers financial health is in direct proportion to the percentage of his inventory that is New. Paul will discuss Pareto's Principle and how a retailer can accumulate old inventory without even realizing it, and that any inventory has hidden costs when it sits. A follow-up question discusses the distinction between "Fresh" and "New". The Paradox of Inventory
We all know that too much inventory is a problem. Paul will discuss why having too little inventory is actually worse than having too much, and how today's customer reacts when stock turnover rate isn't quite right. Understand the challenge of the largest asset on your balance sheet, and the role of the buyer in managing this paradox. Inventory Turnover
Turnover is the hidden factor in your P&L statement - the time measurement of how quickly you sell your inventory. Paul discusses the importance of improving turnover to increase cash flow and net profits. He proposes an alternative concept to turnover (week's and month's supply) and short vs. long term sell-through goals. The follow up question discusses the danger of turning over inventory too quickly. Initial Markup
It's important to understand the most fundamental concept in retailing. Paul will discuss how even a minor change in initial markup, when paired with a comprehension of psychological pricing, can dramatically affect bottom line profits. A follow up question covers identifying items that can take a higher initial markup. Markdowns
While markups (Episode 4) are the most fundamental concept in retailing, Markdowns may be one of the most misunderstood and misapplied. Part 1 covers Paul's Seven Rules of Markdowns - watch and create a more successful and profitable strategy for moving product through your store. Part 2 explores the 'Danger Point' of markdowns. Are you using Rx for Profit for team training? A group discussion question and homework assignment are included at the end of Part 1. Merchandising by Classifications
The importance of structuring our merchandise into a hierarchy of departments and classifications. End use examples. Looking at merchandise through the customers eyes. How events shape shopping patterns. Cash Flow
It's that time again! The spring 2011 buying shows are upon us…will you and your buyers fall prey to "cheaper by the dozen" and wind up with more inventory than you need? When confronted with great deals, savvy salespeople, and tantalizing new merchandise, your business' cashflow must remain your number one priority. Tune in to learn some quick rules of thumb for buying and optimizing cashflow for a healthy spring season ahead! Paper Profits vs Cash
In this day and age of tighter credit lines, understanding the difference between cash on hand and paper profits is key to success - especially in a seasonal business. Join Paul as he articulates some of the basic principles (and dangers) of profits on paper: while they may look good, you can't eat them or pay the bills with them. GMROI
You've heard it called "JimRoy" and "GIMRoy" -- but however you say it, G.M.R.O.I. (Gross Margin Return on Investment) is the most important measurement of inventory productivity in retail. It is critical for everyone on the team to understand the concept of the return we are making on our inventory investment, and how it's calculated. GMROI is the great equalizer: you can sell fast and low margin, or slow on high margin -- but first you need to understand how to calculate it. Step into the classroom with Paul on this critical topic and learn through simple examples how to break down your total profits into GMROI, taking turns and costs into account. Sell and Buy
All retailers want to go to RETAIL HEAVEN! Retail heaven is where the retailer sells the merchandise first and pays for it later. Paul examines turning stock before invoices come due by capitalizing on manufacturer dating programs. These are the steps you need to get to after life bliss!

you are here: All the World » 1 January 2009 » Understated but not Undervalued...
jump to menus
by Major David Rees
ON 15 August 2008 a Salvation Army news release announced to the world that 'The Salvation Army has appointed officers to the Arabic State of Kuwait'. The officers chosen for this new and challenging assignment were Majors Mike and Teresa Hawley from the USA Southern Territory, which is funding the fledgling work. A month later they were joined by Lieutenants Robert and Glenis Viera, newly commissioned officers from the same territory. The Army's ministry is principally to the large group of contract workers who come from other countries to work in Kuwait. Amazingly, this diverse group comprises more than 65 per cent of the population of Kuwait. The decision to commence work in Kuwait was in response to a report prepared by Colonel Dick Krommenhoek, then the General's Representative for Global Evangelisation. When management of The Salvation Army's International Emergency Services relief work programme in Iraq had moved from there to Kuwait, for safety reasons, the team members became aware that there was a significant number of Salvationists from India and other Asian countries working in Kuwait. In June 2007 the International Secretary for South Asia, Commissioner Lalkiamlova, and Colonel Krommenhoek visited Kuwait and met with 80 Indian Salvationists who had formed a strong social network. They discovered that for more than 25 years this group has met for regular prayer meetings, social gatherings and worship times. In August, their gatherings became officially recognised and Kuwait was listed as the 116th country in which The Salvation Army is at work.

WEST CHESTER About 1,000 runners turned out Sunday afternoon to test their endurance in the 35th annual Brians Run held at West Chester Henderson High School.
A day like this is a runners paradise, 50 degrees, sunny and perfect, said John Manion, race organizer and borough councilman.
The race is a 5-mile loop that takes runners through West Chester and surrounding neighborhoods. Childrens races are held before the main event.
Manion said one of the best aspects of the race is its generational appeal.
You get dads out here with their kid and their running with their grandfather, Manion said.
The run began in 1978 as a one-time fundraising event to benefit Brian Bratcher, a Henderson High School football player who sustained a life-challenging spinal cord injury at the age of 15 during a scrimmage.
Paralyzed, Bratchers family and friends decided to find a way to raise money, eventually settling upon a race with the goal of raising $500.
Surpassing their estimates, the race garnered 2,000 runners and $20,000 in its first year to aid in Bratchers expenses.
Having witnessed the success of the race, Bratcher asked for the money to be donated to others. Since 1979, the race has benefited various charities and causes.
Proceeds from the race this year will go to Homes for Our Troops, a national nonprofit that builds specially adapted homes for severely wounded veterans at no cost to the veterans.
What we always want to do is keep with the theme of paralysis and so we found this charity which was awesome and what we can do is, look for someone who lives in the area, Pennsylvania, Maryland, somewhere close that can benefit them, Manion said.
The race changed from a 10k in 2009. According to organizers, talk of ending the race began a few years ago as participation began to drop off. Realizing its place in the community, Manion decided to take up organizing the event for the past 4 years.
Manion said people are attracted to the race because of its legacy and altruistic nature. While he has come to understand the pain of organizing the event, he said seeing the runners cross the finish line on race day makes it all worthwhile.
Its an incredible West Chester thing that everybody knows, its automatic, Manion said. Its part of the fabric of West Chester.

Roll Call headlined this story "Greater Insurance Regulation Sought: Some Say Obama's Plan Doesn't Do Enough." It seemed fishy though, that the groups ostensibly looking for more regulation are the insurance and banking industries' lobbying arms, including the American Insurance Association and the Financial Services Roundtable.
And sure enough, if you get down a few paragraphs in the story, what the groups are actually seeking is not more regulation, but the ability to avoid state regulations that they don't like:
Groups like the American Insurance Association, the Financial Services Roundtable, and the American Council of Life Insurers support the White House's efforts to create a national insurance infrastructure but are also pushing for the creation of an optional federal charter that would allow insurance companies to choose whether to follow state or federal rules.
Just like the Mortgage Bankers Association wants to avoid regulation of mortgage lending at the state level, insurance companies want to avoid state regulations when it suits their interest. Allowing insurance companies to opt out of state regulation — which is what an optional federal charter would do — would enable them to "shop for the lightest regulation," which could be worth billions of dollars to the insurance industry.
Thus far, the Obama administration has been very conscious of ensuring that federal regulation doesn't preempt state law, and acknowledging that states have a good grasp on what their regulatory needs are. Allowing an optional federal charter would fly in the face of that approach. As Charles Symington of the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America's said, "in many respects the battle over the optional federal charter has been between Main Street and Wall Street. The administration appears to have initially decided that the arguments are on the side of Main Street America, small business and consumers."
Someone should tell Roll Call that looking for different regulation is not the same as looking for more regulation.

Soda companies' PR campaigns are bad for health
Health advocates need to organize strong public health campaigns to educate the public and policymakers about the dangers of both sugary beverages and the misleading industry corporate social responsibility campaigns that distract from their products' health risks, according to US experts writing in this week's PLoS Medicine.
In a Policy Forum article, the authors (media and public health experts from the Berkeley and Boston, USA) examined prominent campaigns from industry leaders PepsiCo and Coca-Cola, that, according to the authors, have embraced corporate social responsibility (CSR) with elaborate, expensive, and multinational campaigns.
The authors say that while soda companies may not face the level of social stigmatization or regulatory pressure that now confronts Big Tobacco, concern over soda and the obesity epidemic is growing. In response to health concerns about their products, the authors argue that soda companies have launched comprehensive CSR initiatives sooner than did tobacco companies but that these campaigns echo the tobacco industry's use of CSR as a means to focus responsibility on consumers rather than the corporation, bolster the companies' and products' popularity, and to prevent regulation.
However, unlike tobacco CSR campaigns, soda company CSR campaigns explicitly target young people and aim to increase sales.
The authors say: "It is clear that the soda CSR campaigns reinforce the idea that obesity is caused by customers' "bad" behavior, diverting attention from soda's contribution to rising obesity rates."
They continue: "For example, CSR campaigns that include the construction and upgrading of parks for youth who are at risk for diet-related illnesses keep the focus on physical activity, rather than on unhealthful foods and drinks. Such tactics redirect the responsibility for health outcomes from corporations onto its consumers, and externalize the negative effects of increased obesity to the public."
The authors argue: "Emerging science on the addictiveness of sugar, especially when combined with the known addictive properties of caffeine found in many sugary beverages, should further heighten awareness of the product's public health threat similar to the understanding about the addictiveness of tobacco products."
They conclude: "Public health advocates must continue to monitor the CSR activities of soda companies, and remind the public and policymakers that, similar to Big Tobacco, soda industry CSR aims to position the companies, and their products, as socially acceptable rather than contributing to a social ill."

Thank you for your e-mail to the Ministry Of Health and Long-Term Care regarding childhood obesity.
The government is working hard to promote healthy living. Obesity in childhood can lead to many health effects later in life such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. Because the costs associated with these chronic diseases are significant on both the health of Ontarians and our health care system, the ministry is acting now to reduce childhood obesity in Ontario.
Success on this issue will require partnerships. As a result, the Healthy Kids Panel made up of experts including health care leaders, non-profit organizations and industry, has been set up to help reach the goal of reducing childhood obesity by 20 per cent over five years. The panel of experts will report back to the Honourable Deb Matthews, Minister, later this year with its first recommendations.
Both healthy eating and tobacco use are modifiable risk factors that have been strongly associated with the most common chronic diseases. The ministry is taking action to address both of these risk factors to improve and protect the health of Ontarians.
With respect to trauma teams in youth custody settings, this issue may more appropriately be addressed to the Ministry of Children and Youth Services, if you haven't done so already.
I hope this is helpful.

I caught one of Occ's heats that he did look pretty slow and tired in, but in another he looked pretty sharp and crisp. I think the tour is going through a mini resurgence of power surfing, kind of like how paddle surfing has made a come back over towing.
What was Heitor riding Chris? I was bummed that Toledo lost early. He's got that wild, unpredictable approach that's fun to watch. I wanted MB to do well too. I'm in a dilemma whether to pick him for Brazil. He did good there last year.
