A Free and Simple Budget Planner
Published on - February 7th, 2008 (Modified on - September 16th, 2014) (by J.D. Roth)
During past discussions of on-line money-tracking tools and desktop software, many Get Rich Slowly readers have sung the praises of home-brew budget planners built using Microsoft Excel. In this guest post from Jeff M., he shares a spreadsheet he created and describes his own budgeting system in detail.
J.D. doesn't talk a lot about budgeting at Get Rich Slowly — he uses a spending plan — but I want to share a personal budget planner I've created that has helped me immensely. I'm not historically a budget person myself, but I've been using this for a while and it seems to be working quite well. I hope that some of you find it useful, too.
This budget planning spreadsheet is available in the following formats:
- Microsoft Excel (70kb) — right-click and choose "Save as…" to download. This file should also work with Open Office.
- Google Docs — select "File -> Copy spreadsheet…" to save to your account.
Please note: This spreadsheet is designed solely to keep you on a budget you've already set, not to help you create a budget. Budgets vary from person-to-person. Create one that works for you, and use this planner to track your progress. (If you need help developing a budget, try this budget estimator from GRS reader Justin M.)
Budget planner overview
While my spreadsheet may seem complex at first, it's actually very simple. It's also much more customizable than any software program I've ever used. I've tried both Quicken and Microsoft Money, and but they just had too much going on. They were confusing. My spreadsheet holds a budget for an entire year, yet works on a month-to-month and day-by-day basis. It has a very simple structure:
- The first column contains labels for the various lines in the budget planner.
- The second column lists budgeted amounts for each item. Once you set up your budget, you should only have to change these numbers if your situation changes (you get a raise or a bill increases).
- There are subsequent columns for each month of the year. As you earn and spend money, note it on the appropriate line.
This budget planning worksheet is divided into four sections.
Pre-tax deductions
Section one contains all of your pre-tax deductions. This includes insurance and other company benefits. My company takes parking directly from my paycheck before taxes, and offers a computer purchase plan that removes money from my paycheck as well. Your budget might include a line for retirement accounts.
The first section contains pre-tax deductions.
Regular bills
Section two is headed with your Net Monthly Pay (for me, that's two semi-monthly payments). It then lists all regular bills, including Needs and Wants. For budgeting purposes, I don't differentiate between the two — if you pay for it monthly, it goes here. For me this includes my Rent, but also things like my XM Radio and Gym Membership. I also put my Savings amount here. By treating my Savings deposit like a bill, it comes out before I spend any other money. I pay myself first.
The second section is for regular bills.
Irregular expenses
Section three tracks your "Monthly Cash", which is your Net Pay minus your Regular Bills. This is how much money you have available each month after your fixed expenses. I've budgeted for five categories, but you can easily add or remove them as you wish. I'm considering dividing "Food" into "Groceries" and "Dining Out" myself.
I've also included a Discretionary Budget which includes all manner of items, from Christmas Gifts to Movie Tickets to Alcohol to Speeding Tickets to Books and other entertainment for myself.
The third section is for irregular expenses.
Budget summary
After the "Budgeted Items" section, there's a line to show how well you've stuck to your budget. [J.D.'s note: This is the concept of "cash flow" I mentioned recently. Jeff has a high positive cash flow!] This total is cumulative across all categories. If you go $50 over on utilities but cut back in food to compensate, that's fine. Your budget will zero out.
This line measures budget performance.
Non-budgeted expenses
The final section contains a simple "Other" Category. I don't like to have special expenses and income show up in my regular budgeted goals. If I get a bonus from work, I don't want it to look like I made my budget when I didn't. Likewise, if I put $900 into car repair but otherwise stayed perfectly within my regular budget, I don't want to look like I missed horribly.
For example, this month I received a $580 bonus from work, but bought a $450 iPhone. I put both of those purchases in "Other". My remaining funds for the month show how everything really worked out, but those nonstandard items haven't wreaked havoc with my budgeting process.
The final section is for non-budgeted items.
Day-to-day use
The trick to staying with your budget is to track your purchases. This budget planner includes a worksheet for each month. Simply navigate to the sheet for the current month and put in a quick description of each purchase, and the amount.
Track your daily expenses on the monthly pages.
Personally, I do this via receipts. Everything I buy gets a receipt and I keep track of it. If I give $20 to a friend, I just write it on the back of a receipt I already have. I keep all of my receipts in my back left pocket, and each night (or every few nights), I put them all into the sheet. It takes all of five minutes to put in several days worth of purchases.
I've put some example numbers in for the December spreadsheet so you can see how it works.
You can keep the budget planner tidy by "hiding" columns and sheets for the coming months in Excel. (Under the "Format" menu, select "Column -> Hide" or "Sheet -> Hide".) If you do this, the first column after the original budget numbers (and first sheet after "Total Budget") will always be for the current month. When the next month comes, simply Unhide that month, and away you go. This keeps the current month close but past months available for reference. (I'm not sure Google Docs can do this.)
I hope you find this budget planner helpful. It took me several hours to get set up, but now tracking my budget only takes 5-10 minutes of work every few days. It's so much easier to track my money this way than importing and analyzing a bunch of data from my bank and tracking my free credit report has made it all the more easier to understand the past errors and plan or correct my expenses wisely. I've been using this budget planner for six months, and I'm loving how much less money I waste.
If you've ever wondered "Where does all my money go?" this budget planner can help!. Several years ago I got a $10,000 raise, but succumbed to lifestyle inflation. This year I got a similar raise, and was determined to see most of it go to savings. And it has, thanks in part to this spreadsheet!

Good post, might be something i'll give a go in tandem with my visual method of tracking expenditures (wall calender with spending written into each square – blank squares make me happy!). Just recently figured a budget might be a good idea due to some overspending on DVDs, so good timing.
If i ever want to track in more detail, or have Total rows for more analysis, this might do the trick. I am all for free solutions to things like this – sure paid software is shiny, but so are coins, so i think i'd rather save them!
Thanks, Jeff and J.D.! How did you know that one of the items on today's to-do list was "Work on a new Excel budget layout"?
*checks it off, moves on to filling it out*
@The Saving Freak:
I realize that everyone has their own way of doing things. There are, however, two things I really like about receipts vs. cash.
1) I can actually see where it goes. With cash, you know that you spent $500 on food. With receipts, you can tell that you spent $380 eating out and $120 on groceries (as I recently did, which surprised me), or that you spent $85 in one month at Chipotle (also a recent sin of mine).
2) It doesn't matter where the money comes from. I can pool cash with friends for delivery pizza and just write the amount on a piece of paper and stick it in my pocket, or I can charge a $100 nice dinner for my girlfriend and me on a debit card. Or I could put groceries on my credit card because I get rewards that way. Receipts don't care where the money comes from.
Obviously, if cash works for you, thats excellent. I don't anticipate this system to be perfect for everyone. I found Quicken's bank data import to be too much of a pain because Quicken wanted me to use 75 categories for everything, and I just didn't care that much, so I tried to find a way to make totaling up purchases after they had been made into something that wasn't a hassle.
There is also PearBudget which a helpful budgeting spreadsheet that I've used the last couple of years and like. Can't remember where I learned about it – probably here
I use two spreadsheets to keep track of my budget. The first is very similar to the Total Budget sheet you have here. The second is an Excel workbook that breaks my monthly budget down into daily amounts and shows me how I'm doing on my budget so far this month and this week.
I just made that second workbook public this weekend (http://code.google.com/p/wesabe-excel-budget/), check it out if you want a more detailed view of your spending. It is setup to download spending data from Wesabe, but if people are interested in using it without using Wesabe, it could certainly be modified to work with data entered from receipts.
Thank you so much! It's on my to do year after year, you've inspired me to start!
I wrote my list of fixed expenses on the top half of a sheet of notebook paper. And then I listed my irregular expenses on the bottom half, and divided that total by 12 to get the monthly amount to save, and have that amount automatically withdrawn each month from my checking account to my savings account as though it were a bill. Recording receipts would be a nuisance for me, so I withdraw cash and use that. I have online bill paying, so when an irregular expense becomes due (like 2nd installment of property taxes recently), I transfer that amount from savings to checking and pay it. (No matter what system a person uses, and Jeff's system is excellent, the important thing is 1) list everything on "paper" first and 2) save for those irregular expenses: property taxes, car tags, car repairs, home repairs, boarding costs for pets, christmas/b-day spending, vacation, tax prepration fees, everything – so you're not got offguard and won't have to rely on credit cards.
I use a similar spreadsheet, but since I get paid every 2 weeks I found it hard to make my columns based on months. I have two-week columns outlining my income with what expenses I have to pay in that time.
I have them free to use/copy/whatever here: http://www.debtbeater.org/budget/
(they are outdated by a month, but the same principle applies to any time frame)
I go for automation. I don't have the discipline to enter numbers myself. And frankly, I would rater use my time to do other things.
Here's a blog reference about simplifying your budget. If you make it easier, you save time, and money.
@John Smith
Do you really find it takes less time to choose a budget category in Quicken than to type in a number in Excel? I felt like I spent to much time in quicken trying to "split" transactions, or figure out how to handle cash transactions easily, or deal with the fact that I got $40 cash back from Target, so I didn't really spent $75 there.
I REALLY, REALLY want automation to work. I just couldn't get it to be faster than a formula driven, automated spreadsheet.
Not to mention the fact that certain banks (like Bank of America) charge up to $8.99 a MONTH to automatically download data into Quicken. Otherwise, you have to log into their site and manually download the file and import it.
I have created my own workbook for my budget. I used to use MS Money but realized that is good for after the fact and not management. I work on a 2 week budget system to fall in line with pay dates. It used to be a little more difficult because DH and I were on different pay dates.
This spreadsheet allows me to budget my bills on 24 paychecks and then decide how to use those 2 extra paychecks. I can't average my salary monthly including those paychecks because I'd fall short every month. Each month gets it's own tab with columns for budget, actual spent and amount remaining. If I overspend in one area, I have to deduct from another so income and expenses equal 0. Daily I download my transactions into another sheet. I then go to the appropriate month and pay period and deduct from the proper account.
Managing 4 weeks of groceries, eating out, and gasoline is too much time. I would easily say I overspent in week 1 but I can make it up over the rest of the month and then never stick to it.
I also find electronic transactions are easier to manage than receipts (DH won't do receipts) or cash. I realize that some transactions take several days to hit my account but it has worked well up to now.
I would be happy to share a blank copy of this but not sure how.
part of a reason why we should create spreadsheets for our use is that we're more likely to use something we have already invested into.
RE: automation
I really like the sound of automation, but now that we're trying to run everything using the cash-in-envelopes approach there's still manual entry to be done.
I'd like to think spreadsheets are good tools for those who still need to grasp the fundamentals of what's going on and create good habits. Much like my elementary kids need to know how to do math problems before I'll let them just start using a calculator to make sure they know and understand what's going on with the automation.
Automation does sound very appealing for people that already have a good system down and know what's going on with their money. I sure wouldn't mind being able to spend less time focused on getting from paycheck to paycheck with a more automatic setup. For now I'm going to do my daily duty and have my financial progress on my mind all the time until I clean up my mess.
hmm. this is a more effective way to run a budget than what i've got. i just might try this and see if it does me any better
As Paul said…..PEAR BUDGET! http://www.pearbudget.com
Thank you! I've put together numerous budgets before– but this one looks really easy to use (much easier than what I've been doing!).
Always get such terrific tips from this site.
Another benefit to using an Excel file for your budget is that it makes evaluating and planning major (or minor) financial changes very easy.
For example, if you're considering buying a new car, or changing your cell phone plan, etc., simply insert a new line into your budget, or change all the data in the cell phone line item. THEN "save as" a different name (like, maybe, "new car possibility"), and you have it right there for as long as you need it (i.e., as long as it takes you to decide that you really don't need a new car).
I built an Excel budget at the beginning of 2005 that essentially tracks what I *could have* in savings if I'm able to stick to the budget. Each day I update my checking balance, savings balance, IRA balance, and any automatic payments that have hit, and my financial potential is automatically updated through the end of 2011.
Of course, not everything can be known 100% that far in advance, but as we say in the Army, an 80% solution now is more helpful than a 100% solution too late.
Couldn't agree more about using Excel as a tool. If you use a software system, you are just entering data and it makes it a tougher habit to start. If you design the tool and more importantly the process around managing the tool, I find the user is much more likely to stick with it. I always like to see how other folks layout a budget.
I'm wary of Excel based budgets. There is a lot of room for error if you truly do not understand how to use Excel. I agree with Paul. PearBudget is the best there is out there. Simple, straightforward and easy to use. It does require you to get your hands a little dirty though. Automation is not better. Being able to download transactions automatically is not always better. My wife and I find that by having to manually enter transactions each week into our checkbook and budget programs that we tend to more carefully monitor our spending. It is similar to Dave Ramsey's philosophy about cash versus credit card spending. It "hurts" more if you have to enter this data by hand and say to yourself was this really a need or just a want? You need to pay yourself first and dictate where your spending will be going through a budget plan rather than downloading historical data from your bank through Quicken or MS Money to find out where it went. We have tried Quicken and MS Money and have even tried the following programs with varying degrees of success: Mint; Yodlee; My Budget Planner; YNAB Excel based and Pro; Mvelopes; and most recently BudgetSimple. We have even tried many of these programs simultaneously for a month at a time to really "kick the tires". Yes, that was a lot of work but we wanted to make sure they were working by verifying the numbers against a similar program. We now exclusively use PearBudget.
This is good. It's roughly what I do, but it's tidier.
So…when you get your paycheck, then, you actually enter the pre- and post-tax deductions IN your budget, copying the figures off your pay statement?
I can see the advantage of this, in that it would allow you to run a report that would produce figures you could compare with your W-2. I've just been entering net paychecks and (incorrectly) trusting to my employer to get the various figures right…big mistake. In this year's PeopleSoft fiasco, so many screw-ups were generated that not one thing is right. It's clear the W-2 My Beloved Employer and its pal, PeopleSoft (aka Laurel & Hardy) is wrong, but without having kept track of all the figures on my paycheck, as you have done, I can't even imagine how to find their error and explain it to them.
I use a bit more complicated spreadsheet, but it works great for me.
I download all my transactions from my bank website and copy them onto a Register sheet. I have a field for type of expense and notes.
I have another sheet which will perform SUMIF calculations based on the type of expense and date range. Since I get paid twice a month, all my expenses are based on each paycheck.
A third sheet compares my budget to actual spending for each period. This lets me know my progress as far as deviating from expenses, which I use to control spending and revise future budgets.
Finally, a cover page gives me a quick look at my current period spending versus budget, anticipated expenses, my current account balance, and expected balance at the end of the period.
Sounds complicated, but for us desk jockeys who play with numbers all day anyway, it's pretty simple. I'd upload it somewhere, but don't know where, and it isn't too user-friendly for anyone else (yet). But it does the job better than any program I've tried to date.
And best of all, I am living within my means for the first time and paying down debt on my current salary.

Last year I created my own budget spreadsheet using Google. When I revamp my spreadsheet, I plan on incorporating most of your ideas. I have separate bank accounts, and while I keep close track of my bills, I don't so much with my other expenses. Part of me is afraid to. (Only $85 at Chipotle? lol)
However, there are 2 things I do that I don't see on your sheet. First, I put the due dates for my various bills, and label them a certain way so that I remember how they are paid (automatic bill pay via bank, manual bill pay, automatic from biller, or manual via biller website). Second, since I get paid 2 times a month, I split my bills up by whether they get paid out of the first or second paycheck of the month. I also split my rent between the 2 paychecks and try to keep the amounts paid in each half of the month about the same.
Anyway, just a couple of ideas you might want to think about incorporating into your own spreadsheets.
I use the 'no budget' approach:
1. Once a year (actually, I've only needed to do this once in my life) I tracked every single penny that I earned or spent for just ONE MONTH. I was $30k in debt then.
2. Now, I calc my Net Worth once a year (CNNMoney has a calculator on their site), divide by 40 (I am VERY conservative) and that's what I spend for that year. Simple!
3. Anything extra (business earnings, contracts … basically, any money that I earn that carries risk) is saved and added to my Net Worth when I repeat the calcs next year.
1. was my 'starting out budget'; 2. and 3. is my 'retirement budget'; I find once a year plenty for both.
You can hide a column or columns in Google Spreadsheet by selecting them and then right clicking on them and selecting "Hide…"
I LOVE IT! I come from a long line of thrifty people, so I always manage to live within my means. However, I would say my system for tracking spending has been limited to balancing my checkbook. I like to keep things simple and this spreadsheet is PERFECT. I feel smarter about my spending already. Thanks for sharing it.
As a side item, I'd like to mention that I only subscribed to your feed a couple of months ago, but I have been thoroughly impressed. After working on your blog for so long, I'm sure you are accustomed to compliments. At the same time, it is always nice to know that your contributions are appreciated. I do appreciate yours.

Great post and spreadsheets! Thanks for sharing these. However, i have noted one small omission. its either because i am all of a sudden blind or that Google Spreadsheets hates Firefox on Mac OS X Leopard.
There is no place to enter in taxes that are withheld from a paycheck. Am I to create this field myself or do I enter the gross pay minus the taxes in the Gross Pay field?
I am modifying it a little bit and will share my template with everyone once i am finished, if anyone would like to see it.
I personally didn't care enough to enter those taxes, so I simply input my Net Pay number manually, instead of calculating it from gross. You could certainly add tax lines and calculate them if you wanted.
So I bookmarked this as a GRS post to check out later, and boy I'm glad I came back to it. The spreadsheet is amazing. I spent hours modifying it (playing with it, really) today. It will be so useful.
Thanks so much for sharing this Jeff, you're awesome!
Thanks! I'll use this and work my way out of $16000+ in student loans!
My goal is to pay that off in 3 years with monthly payments of $500, simultaneously saving $400 each month.
Thankfully I have few monthly expenses (no new car, mortgage, etc) so I believe that this is realistic. Once I have a better gauge of my income I can adjust accordingly. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this spreadsheet! I modified it slightly, but once I got the numbers right, the spreadsheet worked perfectly for my budget needs.
Thanks for the useful spreadsheet. The link in post 17 is also great:
Thank you Jeff and Wave!
Thank you, great spreadsheet! I love your site, always providing great information. Creating a budget is the first step to improving your finances. Thanks again!
Your spreadsheet is great. However many would benefit from an even simpler budgeting software called Innoslice. I used it for my simple expense tracking, and never had to look for another spreadsheet or app.
I've found something simplest possible:
However it seems to be on early developing stage it's simple like a hammer …
The great thing about MS Excel is that it is in a way a development platform, a tool to allow users to develop and build anything we want to have customized to our needs, anything to do with holding, calculating and relating numbers with text headings. That is really flexible and powerful as shown in this excellent post. For those among us who want to do away with installing and maintaining software on each computer used like MS Excel, and are more comfortable firing a browser on any computer, going to some link on the web and budgeting away in total privacy and safety, there are the new breed of web apps like Out Of The Dark (OOTD) Budgeting which I used for almost two years now very happily.
A few things I really like about OOTD are: Its unique approach to handling one month at the time, then saving it, closing it and moving to the next month means it will handle all the years of budgeting I care to throw at it until my dying day, month by month. It has the easiest expense tracking I have seen with a tracking column on the same page next to the budgeting column. It has Cash Put-Aside management built right into my budget and it has a thing called Credit Card Debt Terminator also build into the budget, this alone was worth using OOTD for me because it helped me wipe out my bad credit card debt in 8 months flat.
Excel is definitely a powerful tool, but web apps are quickly gaining power and worth checking out.
I am unable to download this! Can someone help me?
I got it:)
Hi Jeff,
I downloaded your spreadsheet in Aug 2011. We added a few additions/changes to fit our needs and have used it faithfully every month since. I am currently working on a budgeting blog post and would like to recommend your spreadsheet if that's okay. However, your current excel download just links to another page on this website. Any chance this can be remedied? The Google Doc link seems to work, but it would be nice to be able to download it. Thank you for sharing this! It's been great.
Hi Jeff,
I would really like to download your budget but the link for the Excel download does not work it seems to be linked to another page on your website.
[...] The key for this approach is the ability to identify trends in your own spending habits. If you can plot out future expenses, you can often identify preventive measures that might require you to spend money today, but will save you a far greater amount of cash in the immediate future. Tracking your spending habits and using a budget are essential parts of bolstering your finances and provide a baseline for sustainable wealth increase. If you've never used a budget, start today. [...]
Thanks jeff for sharing this use full link and post. I was wondering to find google app that work like real. Is any one tell me about?
Hi Jeff,
I can't seem to get the link to the budget spreadsheet to work. When I click on both links (at the beginning and end of the post) it just brings me to the home page of GRS. Can you help? Or can you just send me the link via email?

A hyperlocal online media company with sites in 41 communities in Westchester County NY and Fairfield County CT has closed 11 sites in Massachusetts, according to The MetroWest Daily News March 4.
The network of online news sites, originally called Main Street Connect, was the brainchild of Carll Tucker, former publisher of Trader Publications. Its flagship weekly was the Patent Trader of northern Westchester. Tucker sold the company to Gannett in 1999. The Journal News shut the weekly down several years later.
Tucker started Main Street Connect with the Daily Norwalk in 2010. The plan was to expand into a national network of hyperlocal news sites. There are 41 Daily Voice sites in Westchester and Fairfield counties.
On March 4, the Daily Voice laid off 11 editorial and sales staffers in Massachusetts, The MetroWest Daily News reported:
Daily Voice Board of Directors Chairman and interim CEO Carll Tucker Monday said the company closed the sites in hopes of turning a profit this year.
"We were very close and unfortunately we couldn't do it with our friends in Massachusetts," he said.
Tucker said the company plans to focus on its websites in Westchester County, New York, and Fairfield County in Connecticut, which have a combined 41 sites.
An article by Jerrod Ferrari in The Hour citing former Daily Voice employee Mark Chapman, reported at least three people were let go from the company's Norwalk location. In Westchester, at least eight people were laid off.
Daily Voice CEO Zohar Yardeni, profiled in this January 2013 article on hyperlocal news by StreetFight, resigned March 1, The MetroWest Daily News reported.

Slide 6
What Is Variation in the Genome?
Variation occurs whenever bases in a person's DNA sequences change. Variations can involve only one base, many bases, or even large segments of chromosomes. If the two strands of a chromosome are thought of as nucleotides threaded on a string, then, for example, a string can break, resulting in a re-ordering of the beads. One or more nucleotides may be changed, added, removed, or exchanged. In chromosomes, these changes are called polymorphisms, insertions, deletions, or translocations.
In addition to these changes, some persons have DNA sequences called "repeats" that like to insert extra copies of themselves several times. Chromosomes can also undergo more dramatic changes called translocations. These occur when an entire section of DNA on one chromosome switches places with a section on another.
Not all variations in a person's DNA sequences have an effect. Among the variations that do cause effects, some are more serious than others. The outcome depends on two factors: where in the genome the change occurs (i.e., in a noncoding, coding, or regulatory region) and the exact nature of the change.

Executive Jet Division Soars at Embraer
Embraer released its second-quarter results this morning and the Brazilian OEM's executive jets division showed a relatively healthy jump in deliveries from 13 in the first quarter to 20 in the second. The overall improvement in the company's total second-quarter revenues, from $1.155 billion in the first quarter to $1.717 billion in the second, is no less attributable to the jump in airliner deliveries, from 21 in the first quarter to 35 in the second.
Net revenue from the executive jets division climbed from $151.9 million in the first quarter 2012 to $260.9 million in the second quarter. Embraer also added a total of $118.6 million in product development in the first and second quarter combined, mainly in support of the Legacy 450 and Legacy 500 business jet programs.
Highlights of the second quarter included the first international delivery of a U.S.-made (in Melbourne, Fla.) Phenom 100 and completion of a deal with Aviation Industry Corp. of China to create the Harbin Embraer Aircraft Industry that will build Legacy 650s in China for that market. The initial firm order for five Legacy 650s and options for five more in China will be added to Embraer's third-quarter backlog numbers. Harbin Embraer has already begun production and expects to deliver these 10 airplanes next year.

Duke University coach Mike Krzyzewski said Thursday that Dean Smith receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom speaks loudly about Smith as a coach and the game of basketball.
"He used the platform he attained as a coach to have an influence on other areas of our society. That's what we should all do," Krzyzewski said.
Smith, the longtime basketball coach at the University of North Carolina, is scheduled to receive the honor Nov. 20 in Washington.
Smith stepped forward as a proponent for equal rights in the 1960s in what Krzyzewski referred to as "tremendous" actions. Smith signed Charlie Scott, who became the first black scholarship basketball player on Tobacco Road.
Krzyzewski said Smith's stance on equality would force those who admired him to recognize issues they might otherwise oppose.
"Some people who were against that [social equality], weren't against him. So, it made those people look at it because they wouldn't challenge him," Krzyzewski said.
The Duke coach said the game of basketball has helped people of different walks of life come together.
"He was one of the leaders of that right from the start," Krzyzewski said.
While Krzyzewski declined to discuss the current state of Smith's health, he did mention seeing the longtime Tar Heel coach at Figure Eight Island near Wilmington recently. Krzyzewski said their houses at the beach were right next to each other.
"He owns one, we rent one. I have to be here a little bit longer," Krzyzewski said with a smile.
Krzyzewski spoke of how he and Smith never had a chance to become friends until after Smith retired in 1997.
"Obviously, we were amazing competitors," Krzyzewski said. "When you're competing at the level we were competing at, I'm not sure there's a great friendship that is developed ever while you're competing."
Krzyzewski said it was only after Smith retired that a "good friendship" was developed.
"Dean and I are very close friends," Krzyzewski said. "The respect we have for one another will last forever."
When they do have the chance to spend time together, the basketball legends talk about the game of basketball, not the competition.
"The game is what we talked about," Krzyzewski said. "Not, 'I wish Calabria didn't tip in that shot' or 'I wish Banks didn't hit that shot to send it to overtime.' It's obvious for both of us the game is bigger than anybody."
When asked about Smith's cognitive disorder that affects memory, Krzyzewski recalled Smith's brilliance as a man, not just as a coach.
"When I thought of Dean, I thought of one of the best. And when competing against him, I found out he was even better," Krzyzewski said. "He's led a life few have lead."
Krzyzewski passed Smith for the second-most wins in Division I men's basketball in late 2010, a feat that could he attributed to Smith's success on the court.
"The standard he set motivated everyone in the league and motivated me," Krzyzewski said. "Being able to compete against the best every year helps you.
"I respect the heck out of him. He did it the right way."
Smith holds a 24-14 advantage over Krzyzewski in head-to-head competition. Their elite coaching brought the Duke-UNC rivalry to a national audience.
"The basketball gods were good about bringing us together," Krzyzewski said.
(An earlier version of this story stated Charlie Scott as the first black basketball player on Tobacco Road. Scott was the first scholarship black player at one of the Big Four schools. C.B. Claiborne was the first black basketball player on Tobacco Road starting in 1965 at Duke.)

Help Make a Difference in a Child's Life!
As an independent non-profit organization, we rely heavily on the support of our donors to provide Jewish children a magical place where Tikkun Olam – creating a better world – is fulfilled through positive Jewish living experiences. Your generous gift will make a huge difference. Thank you!
Please click on the box to the right to support our Camp JCA Scholarship Fund, and you can also click on a box below to discover even more wonderful ways you can give back to camp.
Your gift can also be designated in tribute of a special occasion or in memory of a loved one. We will send a tribute letter to the person(s) you designate.
Our donations are all processed using our safe and secure online payment system.
For more information on giving to Camp JCA Shalom, please contact Alison Miller, Development Director at firstname.lastname@example.com or 818-889-5500 ext 107.
Please Note: This donation system was designed to work in all browser versions of Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Internet Explorer 7 or greater.
Attending a Jewish camp might be a child's only Jewish experience, therefore even during these difficult economic times we are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to experience the magic of Jewish summer camp!
Over 40% of our camp families have requested financial assistance this year and
about 35% of our camp families cannot and would not be able to send their children to camp without financial assistance.
Today, we ask you to join us in sponsoring a child to go to camp for a day, a session, or the entire summer! Here's how your gift will impact a child:
On July 31, 2002, Camp JCA Shalom lost a member of its family. Marla Bennett was one of the American victims in the bombing of the Hebrew University cafeteria. Marla grew up at Camp JCA Shalom as a camper, CIT counselor, unit head and during Summer 2001 she was the program director. During her time here at Camp JCA Shalom, she touched the lives of thousands of campers and staff.
In Marla's memory, we created the Marla Bennett Israel Discovery Center and Garden, a year round hands-on learning center that teaches about Judaism, Israel, organic farming and gardening, nature, environmental awareness, and more! Your donation will honor Marla's memory and helps the Shalom Institute fulfill its environmental commitments and goals of Tikkun Olam.
Jerry's Place, the Dining Hall Renewal Project, is dedicated to the memory of Jerry Ringerman, Director of Camp JCA from 1960- 1974. Jerry Ringerman's selfless devotion to Camp JCA at Barton Flats and Malibu became an inspiration to thousands of campers and staffers. To say that Jerry was a "role model" "mentor" and "mensch" to thousands is not enough. He was a unique and gifted man whose true legacy lives on at Camp JCA Shalom and in many other places through the people he guided and the effect they have on others today.
Support our Jerry's Place campaign by buying a TILE that will permanently reside in our renewed dining hall. Personalize your own message on a tile which will be displayed for all JCAers and Shalom Institute guests to enjoy. Write a personal message about Camp JCA today, about your JCA memories, about Jerry Ringerman and his impact on Camp JCA, or even simply your family name.
Tiles are available in two sizes. To BUY a tile, click on "Donate Now" button below
Together with a dedicated group of alumni, supporters and friends, the Shalom Institute recently invested more than $1.5 million for capital improvements, including a redesign of the dining hall, bridge repairs, bathroom upgrades, a waterslide at the pool, a horseback riding center, organic farming center, and new ropes course elements. However, we still need to refurbish, upgrade and rebuild a number of camp facilities.
Your contribution to the facilities fund will ensure that we are able to create amazing camp experiences in state of the art facilitates.
Your unrestricted gift to the General Fund will help support operations, programming and other areas of need. Your contribution will ensure that we are able to continue to create amazing camp experiences!
The Annual Gala Dinner – Sunday, December 2, 2012 at the Mark
Our annual Gala Dinner celebrates and honors amazing individuals who have been instrumental in the growth of the Shalom Institute. Learn more at www.shalominstitute.com/gala
Help support the Horse & Animal Fund!
Your gift to help Camp JCA Shalom support and grow our Animal Center allows us to continue offering our campers and community access to all of our incredible animals. Your contribution will ensure that we are able to continue to create amazing camp experiences!

Harvey Milk was a tremendously inspiring figure in my life and his words motivated me to become involved in some of the work I do. I remember learning about him as a teenager, awe by his charm and candor.. and all that he was able to achieve. I could clearly see the value of public affairs and PR campaigns. His legacy is impressive and continues to grow. It's something I think about occasionally while I push my agenda along… watching my manifesto spread through the masses.
Unrelated Thought: This is what they served today at The White House to celebrate Harvey's Birthday and unveil his US postage stamp. I'm going to admit that when you hear the President of the United States say, "Bring out the Birthday Cake!" you really expect something that looks more worthy of a Food Network special, versus a grocery store sheet cake. Nonetheless.. it is still a sweet victory for Harvey. He can tell his critics to EAT IT.
The last time I saw Lynda Carter was on set when she was taping an episode of Drag U. She had a great time joking around with the drag queens off camera. I remember Carmen Carrera and my intern were most excited to get a chance to meet Lynda.. actually, I remember I posted a pic here. Nonetheless I love that her fans have driven so much traffic to this interview.. that'll make a nice payout for me. Thanks Lynda!
A day before protesters in Kiev knocked down a statue of Vladimir Lenin, an unnamed Ukrainian man took a seat on a makeshift stool in front of a blue piano in the middle of a rainy street. Time stopped for a moment. All eyes and ears were fixed on the man as he serenaded a wall of riot police with a Chopin song. As the Ukraine descends into political turmoil, this small act reminds us of our humanity
According to Anastasiia Bereza, the woman who posted this photograph on her Facebook page, the pianist attempted to stop the protest by charming the police with a combination of classical music and folk songs. Bereza stated in her description that the pianist was employing the "warm ocean strategy," a peaceful protest movement brewing amongst young Ukrainians that stresses the need to be "soft but powerful."

Ever notice that people generally dislike being rude,
Saying someone is fat or stupid, now that's crude,
I've collected and developed some sayings to stop tears,
That I've used to describe myself in situations over years.
Such as I am not fat, just really, really short for my weight,
Or when I'm tardy, I am really late for the starting gate,
Forgetful - I'm a straw short of a bale; a pickle short of a jar,
And the one I favour to whisper of others, always from afar
Is that "they are really not the sharpest tool in the shed"
Because I like to be kind in all things done and said.

In ATSS, Hosseini weaves together the stories of two women, Mariam and Laila. Mariam grew up in a rural hovel, the illegitimate child of a wealthy man in the city. Her lifelong dream is that her father would one day acknowledge her as his daughter. On the other side of the country, Laila lived with her progressive and erudite parents, who supported her education and had hopes of a bright future in which she could make her own choices. The Afghan Civil War dashes Laila's dreams, but brings these two women together as they both find themselves unhappily married to the same man.
My initial impression was that the story was somewhat predictable, but the climax was pleasingly surprising. Hosseini's works, in addition to being engaging reads, provide enthralling peeks into Afghan history.

Ted's Review said:
Hosseini is an amazing writer. He is able to transport you to a world away -- Afghanistan. Amazingly, this isn't the world of 1890, but only a few years ago. It's unbelievable (but true) that there are cultures that exist today that have such little regard for women. This book is captivating and very well written, but very depressing too. It can be exhasting at times, but I would still highly recommend this. If you liked The Kite Runner, you will like this too.

Yekaterina said:
Just as the author did in "The Kite Runner," Hosseini created a moving portrayal of wartorn life in Afghanistan. Contrasting with Kite Runner, this book focuses more on the relationship between women rather than men. I read it in one day, could not put it down. I expected nothing less than greatness after having read Kite Runner, and I was not dissapointed.

This is a story well-told and a fascinating insight into the world of women in Afghanistan. I liked the pace of the story and the way the author occasionally withheld a piece of information (that made you wonder if you'd missed something), keeping you in suspense for a bit before revealing the missing fact. The characters were a little flat; I liked them but I didn't feel with them. Except, maybe, for Mariam. The story teller remained somewhat reserved, removed even, from the horror of this story.

this is a must read, both from a historical and political perspective. We should have helped out the middle east a long time ago, not just for our own safety, but for the welfare of other women. Hosseini is a fabulous story teller.

FORT MYERS– Junior Filip Cvjeticanin recorded his first career double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds and classmate Brett Comer tallied a team-best 20 points, but it wasn't enough for the FGCU men's basketball team (4-3) to slow down up-tempo and hot-shooting Iona (3-2) as the Gaels connected at a 56-percent clip from the field en route to a 90-72 win Sunday afternoon at Alico Arena.
Cvjeticanin knocked down 4 or more 3-pointers for the third time in the last four games as he went 4-9 from deep and became just the ninth player in program history with at least 100 career 3s.
The forward, who made just his third career start, pulled down a career-best 10 rebounds which represented nearly a third of FGCU's 31 caroms on the day.
Iona – which finished second in the nation in scoring last year (80.7 ppg) and led the country two years ago (83.3) – shot 33-59 (55.9 percent) from the field, including 14-27 (51.9 percent) from 3-point range.
The Gaels, whose two losses have come at Cleveland State and No. 2 Kansas, turned the ball over 16 times and took advantage of 13 FGCU giveaways to convert them in 17 points.
Comer tallied his second 20-point game of the year behind a career-high 19 field-goal attempts and issued a game-high eight assists.
The guard, who finished 14th in the nation in assists per game last season, has now distributed 34 of his 41 assists at home.
Bernard Thompson scored 13 of his 17 points in the second half as the nation's leading returning steals leader continues to recover from an ankle injury suffered before the season opener.
Lone senior Chase Fieler scored his 14 points on an efficient 7-of-10 shooting to round out the quartet of FGCU double-figure scorers.
"I'd like to compliment Iona on dominating from the mid-point of the first half through the rest of the game," head coach Joe Dooley said.
"When they got out and got running they got some easy baskets and shot the ball especially well in transition, which was something we talked about – especially transition 3s.
We dug ourselves a hole and couldn't get out of it."
Both teams raced out the gates, with 30 combined points and multiple dunks being tallied before the first media timeout.
The Eagles took a 20-16 lead at the 12:42 mark on a Fieler jumper, but that would ultimately be the largest lead of the afternoon for the Eagles.
The two teams went back and forth before Iona eventually took a 32-30 lead with exactly 8 minutes remaining.
However, the Gaels then closed the half on an extended 20-10 run to take a 52-40 lead into the halftime break.
That edge grew to 14 on Iona's opening possession of the second stanza before Cvjeticanin hit back-to-back 3-pointers to trim the deficit to eight, 54-46, only a minute-and-a-half in – the closest FGCU had been since the 6-minute mark of the first half.
But Iona, which has made two consecutive NCAA Tournament berths, once again had an answer and retaliated with another lengthy run as over the next 10 minutes it out-scored FGCU 22-8 to take what would eventually be the largest lead of the game at 78-54.
Tre Bowman led the New York-based school with a game-high 29 points on 11-13 shooting and 4-6 from 3-point range.
Sean Armand, the Iona career 3-point record holder, finished with 20 points on 5-8 from long range.
The loss was just the second for the Eagles at home dating back to last year as FGCU is now 18-2 in its past 20 contests in Alico Arena.
The setback also snapped a nine-game home-court winning streak and was the first defeat at The Nest to a non-conference opponent in 16 games, going back all the way to the 2010-11 campaign.
The Green and Blue will next travel across the state to Miami to take on FIU Saturday, Dec. 7, at 4 p.m.
The game will air nationally on FOX Sports 1, representing FGCU's third national TV broadcast of the year already.
Redshirt junior Eric McKnight, who started 34 games last year for FGCU, remains indefinitely suspended for a violation of team rules after serving a minimum six-game suspension to start the year.
FGCU Director of Athletics Ken Kavanagh issued the following statement: "Originally slated as a minimum six-game suspension, Eric will remain sidelined until it is determined that he has reached a satisfactory level of completion in all matters related to his violation of team rules."
McKnight started 34 games last year after transferring from Iowa State following the 2010-11 season.
At 6-foot-9, McKnight is the second-tallest Eagle on the roster, and averaged 6.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game in 2012-13 for FGCU.
"We're very pleased with the progress Eric has made to this point, but he still has some more work to do," head coach Joe Dooley said.
"He has handled himself extremely well during this difficult time and has done everything asked of him both on and off the court. We're looking forward to getting Eric back in the near future."
GAME NOTES: 92 percent of FGCU's scoring came from Comer, Thompson, Cvjeticanin and Fieler … Fieler also added six rebounds … the Eagles went 7-19 (36.8 percent) from 3-point range … FGCU out-scored Iona in the paint, 38-36 … the attendance was listed as 3,779 despite FGCU students remaining on Thanksgiving Break … FGCU will make the return trip to Iona next season.

Paul Georgy serves as president/CEO of Allendale, Inc., a worldwide agricultural advisory and research firm that provides agricultural commodity price research and risk management alternatives for producers, major food companies, international corporations, foreign governments, and major news vendors.
Good Morning! Paul Georgy with early morning comments for January 22, 2014 at 4:30 am.
Grain futures are higher led by a rebound in soybeans. There has been some interest from buyers overnight after the recent sell-off.
Allendale's Ag Leader Conference is less than a week away. You can stay at home and benefit from the information our presenters will share. This is the 26th Annual event and the 1st to be available in webinar format. Sign up TODAY!
There is continued talk of China beginning to shift soybean shipments from US to Brazil. Basis levels will provide an advantage to buyers going to Brazil in a few weeks.
Without heat and dryness, the forecast for South America are insignificant to CME futures traders. Crops conditions continue to be favorable, giving the Brazilian soybean crop a chance for record production.
Cash grain movement was light as producers neglect to sell after recent declines in futures prices.
The University of Illinois study of US grain and soybean forecasts suggest the USDA should develop a better survey for corn feed usage on the monthly and quarterly estimates.
Syngenta, the largest crop chemicals company, has a new product which will be available for planting in the US this year. Traders are concerned this strain of GMO corn could threaten relations with China as this product is not approved there.
Celeres, a Brazil consultant group, says farmers there have only sold 41.7% of new crop soybeans compared to 55.9% last year. Farmers are reluctant to commit to sales due to lower international prices and are still well capitalized from selling last year's record crop at a time when low global supply boosts prices, according to the company.
Cattle futures make new highs while feedlots are setting their sites on a 150 cash price this week. The strength in product values is suggesting very profitable packer margins.
Allendale December Placements estimates are expected to be 2.1% higher than last year. Cattle feeders have been encouraged by the return to profitability in the fourth quarter driven by lower feed costs. We see extremely small cattle slaughter in February and March due to low May through September 2013 placements. Allendale anticipates Marketing's to be 0.8% higher than December of 2012. The calendar day adjustment artificially added 4% to the actual number. Total Cattle on Feed, as of January 1, should be 5.3% smaller than last year.
Beef cutout values were higher with choice up 3.16 and select up 2.70. CME Feeder Cattle Index is 170.49.
Extreme cold weather and snow have snarled pork movement on the east coast. Pork cutout values were down .77 on Tuesday.
Markets as of 4:30 AM

This is a defunct thieves cant term for the gallows, first recorded at the end of the seventeenth century.
I will shew you a way to empty the pocket of a queer cull, without any danger of the nubbing cheat.
Tom Jones, by Henry Fielding, 1745. Cull is a fool, dupe or sucker.
It's formed from two other obsolete words: nub, originally East Anglian dialect meaning "neck" (which is probably related to the sense of "protuberance" and to our surviving use as "the gist or point of a story") and cheat, another item of thieves' cant for any sort of thing or article.
In similar vein, the nubbing-cove is the hangman (using cove in the ancient sense of "man" that still survives in some places) and nubbing-ken is the court house, a name that indicated the likely fate of anyone who ended up there (ken is yet another bit of slang from the world of vagabonds, thieves and beggars meaning "house").

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller says state residents who bought E-books published by Penguin Group would receive $1.15 million in refunds as part of a multistate investigation into price-fixing and collusion.
Zoeller said Friday that Indiana, along with the other states, reached an agreement with Penguin to settle allegations that it colluded with other major publishers to manipulate prices in the E-book market. He said the agreement with Penguin still must be approved by a U.S. District judge in New York.
Indiana has previously settled with four other publishers. Zoeller said the five settlements will result in Indiana consumers receiving $2.7 million in refunds.
He said Indiana's antitrust action against Apple Inc. is scheduled to go to trial in June.

Authorities confirmed to News Leader 9 an east Georgia woman was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound at the Chevron gas station in Columbus on Beaver Run Road, near Macon Road Thursday.
The woman, Brenda Dent, was a person of interest in the recent murder of her husband in Wilkes County, GA.
Investigators from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said moments before Brenda Dent's death, she revealed to a witness in the investigation that she was responsible for Fermer "Butch" Dent's murder. His body was found Sunday in Wilkes County.
Wilkes County Sheriff Mark Moore told News Leader 9 that Brenda Dent told authorities that she was out of town when her home was burglarized and her husband was shot to death. He said themurder scene was not consistent with a burglary.
Brenda Dent and her male friend, Bernard Lamountain, were in Columbus to take a polygraph test at the GBI crime lab in relation to her husband's murder.
Witnesses say Brenda Dent's pickup truck was found near the car wash around 12:15 p.m. Thursday. She was slumped over the wheel and the engine was still running.
A release from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation says Brenda Dent died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The GBI say that she took her own life after telling a witness that she was in fact responsible for the murder of her husband.
Butch Dent's murder remains under investigation by authorities in Wilkes County. The Athens Banner-Herald reports Butch Dent's death was the first homicide in the county in more than 10 years. The Columbus Police Department will continue to investigate Brenda Dent's death. Her body will be examined by the state crime lab in Decatur.
News Leader 9 will continue to follow this story. We'll have the latest information as soon as it becomes available.

Luna Sea ready to rock the Singapore stage
Text & Photos: Teo Sijia
Video: Fiona Lin & Tay Yixuan
Setting foot in Singapore for the first time in 26 years since their formation, legendary Japanese rock band Luna Sea promised fans that their concert this Friday night would be a perfect conclusion to their Asia Tour.
While members Sugizo, J, Shinya and Inoran turned up at the press conference yesterday, lead singer Ryuchi was absent as he was feeling slightly unwell.
He however conveyed his deepest appreciation to Singapore fans and assured them that he would put on his best performance at the concert.
Singapore is the last stop for Luna Sea's "The End of The Dream" Asia Tour 2013, and the band was full of praises for our sunny island when they described their first impression of Singapore.
During the press conference, J said, "I was very impressed with the scenery that I saw along the way from the airport to town. I haven't seen anything like that before, it's so beautiful that it makes me want to explore the different places in Singapore."
Drummer Shinya pointed out Singapore's modernity and greenery as the two most striking features that made an impression on him.
Contradictory to the usual quiet personality and the 'cool' image given off by a rock band, Luna Sea showed their fun and adorable side when they asked reporters to recommend famous local delights in return.
They got excited when suggestions like "chili crab" were brought up, and Shinya even imitated the way crabs wave their pincers with his fingers.
Aware of the presence of J-pop fans in Singapore, the band was overwhelmed by the warm welcome that they received upon arriving at Changi airport.
Lead guitarist Sugizo said that he enjoys the connection made with foreign fans whenever they visit a new country, "I'm very happy that this is the start of our relationship and I look forward to getting to know all of you better."
Recognising the strong fan base in Southeast Asia, Luna Sea hopes to bring their concert tour to places that they have never visited before, such as Malaysia and Philippines. Foreign 'slaves' (the official name for Luna Sea fans) may also rejoice as they revealed plans for opening up official fanclub memberships for foreign fans.

Command Line Basics: Create Custom Commands with Alias
Filed under: bash, command line, HowTo, linux
In today's Command Line Basics we'll create some customized commands with alias. You can think of alias as a sort of command line shortcut. Odds are, your system already has a few aliases defined by default. If you enter the command by it's self, without an argument, it will tell you what aliases already exist on your system. Open a terminal window and give it a try.
alias l='ls -CF'
alias la='ls -A'
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
You may see some output that looks like the above. That output shows the proper syntax to create a new alias. One command I like to alias is 'ls -l'.
This functionality works great, but defining an alias on the fly only makes it stick to the current shell. If you open another terminal window, this alias won't be defined.
If you want an alias to be available every time you open a terminal window, you can define it in the .bashrc file. Go to your terminal and enter the following:
nano .bashrc
Now arrow down to an appropriate place in this file to define your alias. If you're not sure where to put it, the very bottom of the file should be fine. Now add a line to define an alias.
alias ll='ls -l'
Save the file and exit the editor. The .bashrc file is read each time you start a new bash shell. To test your new file you can close the terminal window and open a new one, or force the current window to re-read the .bashrc file with:
Have an aliased command that you find particularly useful? Leave a comment.
2 Responses to "Command Line Basics: Create Custom Commands with Alias"
Nice tutorial! I found myself opening webpages in chromium from the terminal quite frequently and typing 'chromium-browser http://www.webaddresshere.com' was a bit tedius, so I used an alias to reduce it to 'web <www.webaddresshere.com'.
I like to keep the .bash_aliases (and one each for .bash_functions, etc..) as a separate file and then add ". .bash_aliases"
to the .bashrc file (In fact, there is usually a if ... fi in all the distro's .bashrc)
Also instead of doing "source .bashrc" you could also do ". .bashrc"
check out my blog on the same topic!

There is a law to protect people who can not collect their pay. Sounds good. Except this law can be used to punish people who do not owe anyone any money.

An appellate judge on Tuesday showed support for a ruling that could nullify a deal to allow 800 digital billboards throughout Los Angeles, including Brentwood.
In an oral argument, Associate Justice Laurence Rubin, of California's 2nd District Court of Appeal, said that justices favor voiding permits for 100 existing digital signs – in turn impacting the additional 700 billboards in the works.
Many of the current 100 signs are located throughout the Westside, including Westwood, Venice and Brentwood. View a map of Clear Channel digital billboard advertising locations in Los Angeles
Barbara Broide, president of the Westwood South of Santa Monica Boulevard Homeowners Association, told the Los Angeles Daily News that the tentative ruling was "a wonderful moment" for all city residents.
Preparing for a court ruling that will ban the signs, the City Council has been working on drafting a new agreement with Clear Channel and CBS that may allow the companies to keep their 100 digital billboards and pave the way for other companies to install signs of their own.
The court case stems from a 2006 lawsuit by Summit Media, which was not included in a deal that the city attorney at the time, Rocky Delgadillo, cut with CBS and Clear Channel that gave the companies permits for 420 digital signs.
A Superior Court judge in 2009 ruled that the settlement was illegal and called it "poison" – forcing the city to stop issuing digital sign permits to the two media companies. However, 100 digital signs went up, mostly on the Westside, before the moratorium.
The appellate court is expected to issue a final decision within 90 days.
"We are disappointed in the court's tentative ruling, but we hope our oral arguments clarified key points to be considered in the final opinion," said Jim Cullinan, vice president of communications for Clear Channel Outdoor.
City Councilman Bill Rosendahl, a longtime critic of digital billboards, said he was "delighted" by the tentative ruling, characterizing it a step in the right direction toward getting a revenue stream for what he called "polluting and harassing" signs.

Officials propose illegal gun carrying crackdown for Philadelphia
State Sen. Larry Farnese (D–Phila.) and State Rep. John Taylor (R–Phila.) will gather Thursday with police officials and prosecutors to announce the introduction of new legislation cracking down on illegal gun ownership in Philadelphia.
Two laws – one introduced in the state Senate and one in the state House of Representatives – will make illegally carrying a gun in Philadelphia a third-degree felony and add a mandatory minimum sentence of at least two years' jail time for convicted offenders.
Deputy police commissioner Richard Ross and district attorneys Seth Williams, Risa Vetri Ferman and John Whelan – of Philadelphia, Montgomery and Delaware counties, respectively – will be at Philadelphia Police Department headquarters Thursday afternoon to make the announcement.
