What is the common thread between a bride and groom, interior design and barbershop singers?
A couple's love is built on whether or not they give their hearts to one another; guests are more likely to feel peace when a home's décor is made up of complementary colors and patterns; three voices harmonize to the melody of a fourth voice in an a cappella quartet.
Love, beauty and sound all depend on qualities that don't clash and disagree.
In a word, that common thread is harmony.
When we refer to people being "on the same page," we mean they have a common opinion about how to approach life, complete a task or reach a goal. And when we unite together, the end result is peace, serenity, and joy. That said, when we reflect on whether we have financial harmony, what exactly does that mean? More importantly, how do we achieve it?
On a basic level, it means agreeing on a family budget, working with business partners honestly or paying creditors each month. But finding true financial harmony is more than just making sure your checkbook balances each month; it means making financial decisions that are congruent with God's precepts. In other words, it begins with obedience.
We learn throughout the Scriptures that God is obviously not appeased by money or things. 1 Samuel 15:22 says, "Obedience is better than sacrifice," and Joshua 1:8 emphasizes that "obedience and meditation on God's Word brings one a prosperous and successful life."
God demands adherence to his commands in all areas of our life—even when days feel bleak and discouraging. Although the "health and wealth doctrine" has been alive and well for quite some time, the reality is God cannot be bought, so we must willingly give up everything to follow Him.
We hope this article series will help you discover a new or different financial mindset. We'd even go so far as to say that our goal is to positively influence your daily financial decisions: how much and what you buy, what you invest in and what you give to charity.
Why? Because we achieve a harmonious balance only when we take time to find out what God expects and then agree to submissively partner with Him; only then will we stay on the same page as our Creator.
My husband loves to catch crawdads, or as they say in some circles, freshwater lobsters. His foolproof method of snagging these crustaceans is to place the cage behind it. As he waves his hand in its face, the creature's natural defense is to back up—right into the trap.
Like crawdads, it's all too easy to unknowingly back into a trap—especially when it comes to money. If not careful, the spending decisions we make could back us into a corner—or worse…debt. I've listed a few of the money traps I've managed to escape from; see if you recognize them in your own spending habits.
Cell Phones. I don't know about you, but I've been surprised by unexpected charges on my cell phone. What lessons has that cell phone contract taught me?
First, I learned to make sure my cell phone plan met my airtime needs. If you choose a cheaper plan that offers fewer minutes, but then go over your minutes, you might pay more money than if you had purchased the plan offering more airtime.
I also learned to be mindful of the monthly or one-time charges for downloads (games, movies, songs), Internet connections and roaming charges. If you aren't convinced it won't add up, google news reports about Apple's iPhone; some shocked consumers received bills (over 3,000 pages long) that added up to thousands of dollars in roaming and Internet charges. Sure, this is an extreme example, but stop to think about how even an extra $50 bucks a month can send you over budget.
Fast Food and Frappuccinos. As a soccer mom who sometimes spends the entire day driving kids around, I'm often tempted to forgo cooking at home and pull into the local drive through. What I notice if I do this too much, however, is that my food bill skyrockets.
The same is true with my mocha craving. One too many of these specialty coffee drinks gives me an empty wallet and expanded waistline.
To combat these temptations, I've learned to look for creative time and money-saving alternatives. For example, freezing a double batch of lasagna or enchiladas saves loads of time. Defrost the meat and tada! It's a fast food meal without the drive-thru cost. I'll find an equally tempting option when that mocha craving hits. I mix my own delicious coffee drink to keep my monthly budget on track. I buy my coffee on sale, mix it with some powdered chocolate and low fat milk, and enjoy my snack at half the cost…and half the calories.
Shopping. Face it, we can't avoid this task (or hobby to some) altogether. Still, shopping doesn't have to turn into a snare for overspending. We're most often trapped when we buy stuff we don't really need. We go into the store with one item in mind; the next minute, our cart is full of items we never planned on purchasing.
The solution is to act proactively. Because God commands us to be good stewards of our resources, buying goods wisely should become second nature. How? Before going to a store—grocery store, department store and any place you might be tempted to whip out the wallet—make a list of what you need to buy and fervently stick to it.
We can avoid a second trap—paying full price—by shopping around for the best price. If a dealer offers you a car for half price, most of us perk up and listen. Yet, we often neglect to look for better deals. Grocery stores, for example, make it easy. Every week they send out the food ads, which highlight something called loss leaders. The store actually breaks even or loses profits on these items, but the goal of these ads is to get you into the store so you can buy other items at full price.
This and That. Perhaps the biggest trap is the dollar-here-dollar-there spending. Here's what we often rationalize: A pack of gum doesn't seem like much; a bottle of water is pretty cheap; those soft serve ice creams for the kids are less than a dollar each.
Add these items together, though, and you'll find five or more dollars less in your wallet.
There's nothing wrong with nickel-and-diming yourself; just don't nickel and dime your budget to death. I make sure I keep my miscellaneous spending in check by keeping a limited amount of cash in my wallet. Then when the money's gone, so is the spending. (Be sure and keep the receipts from these little expenses to see if you are staying within your allotment!)
The main thing to remember is that overspending is a trap, and it takes a great deal of planning to keep out of.
Luckily for us we're smarter than crawdads.
If God gave out financial advice, would you listen? After all, who better to predict market forecasts? Instructions on how to ride out a down market? Protect us from bad trades? Teach us how to best live in a bull market?
Fortunately, God offers a plethora of financial advice that extends beyond tomorrow's closing bell on Wall Street. His lessons are tucked away within the pages of Scripture. Here are few that you may want to add to your tip sheet.
Prepare for leaner times. The poster child for this one is Joseph. Through God's revelations, he forecasted Egypt's deadly famine—seven years before it happened. Knowing that it's pretty much impossible to grow crops without rain, he persuaded Pharaoh to tell the Egyptians to, first, cut down on how much they ate, and second, build storage bins so they would have enough food.
What is the modern-day application? Live modestly today in case of lean times ahead. Joseph understood this concept of going from feast to famine. In today's volatile economy, we'd all benefit from adopting this model.
Seek financial advice. Proverbs 28:26 emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with wise counsel; a greedy spirit, after all, can cloud the vision of even the most level-headed investor. Remember Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5? They relied on their own intuition instead of consulting other church members; then they fabricated a story about how much they really donated to the church. Consumed by their greedy impulses, God struck them down.
When seeking financial advice, approach a friend, mentor or someone else you trust; ask them to help you answer these two questions, "Why would I not want to do this?" and "What is the worst thing that could happen?" When you and your advisor have anticipated possible outcomes—and have decided you can live with the risk—then you've made your financial decision intelligently.
Be realistic. You've probably heard this age-old adage: "If it sounds too good to be true it probably is."
Proverbs 28:19 frames it this way: "He who works his land will have abundant food, but the one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty."
Advertisers and marketeers try and entice us with their lofty promises of riches and wealth—without even lifting a finger. Don't buy into it. Make money-making decisions with cold hard facts and numbers in mind. That doesn't mean you can't dream, or perhaps invest money into your dream, but do so knowing exactly what it is—a risk.
Plan ahead. In Luke 14, Jesus tells the cost of being a disciple.
"Suppose one of you wants to build a tower," he says. "Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it?" (v.28).
Jesus wasn't talking specifically about money; still, we can use this as a foundational principle for money management.
It goes like this: If I make $1200 a month, and my rent, food, and car bills equal $1200 a month, what would happen if I take a trip to Disneyland and charge $400 on my credit card at 21 percent interest? I'm hoping that you've figured out that you can't pay off your credit card. It's just that simple.
Don't cheat the government. Besides giving to Caesar what is Caesar's (Matthew 22:21), Hebrews 13:17 admonishes us to obey our leaders and submit to their authority. 1 Peter 2:13-14 also commands us to "submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men," either king or governor.
By doing good deeds and living righteously, Christians set an example and silence foolish men. If we truly believe that God is the one who provides us with our needs, then it's ridiculous trying to justify stealing from the government in order to survive. Besides, eventually, your sins will find you out and compromise your witness for Christ.
Be Generous. You might think giving is an unorthodox money tip, but over and over again the Scriptures speak of taking care of the poor. Proverbs 28:27 promises us that God will take care of our needs when we take care of the needs of others, but "those who close their eyes to poverty will be cursed."
Finally, in Proverbs 11:25, we find out that "a generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed."
Doesn't this sound like the "what goes around comes around" principle? I worked for several summers at a homeless ministry. I have to admit there's nothing quite like working with people who make their homes out of cardboard boxes and sleep under bridges to make you appreciate what you own. It does something else, too. It makes you realize that money can help others, not just yourself.
Scott and Tiffany* married at age 23. Scott had just graduated with his Bachelor's degree and starting graduate school, while Tiffany worked full time at an insurance office. Just as it happens to many young couples, it took only a few weeks living under the same roof for them to realize their financial incompatibility.
Here is their story and how they eventually made ends meet.
Tiffany's perspective: One day Scott called me into the office of our apartment to talk about a budget. I thought a budget was something that involved congress or the president. I had no idea what a personal budget was.
Scott showed me a printout of all of our expenses—everything from gas and groceries to hair cuts and what he called "fun money," which is cash that we could spend as we wished.
"This is how much income we make each month," Scott explained to me. "And each item in the budget shows how we spend it."
I told him that I needed more fun money. $4 a week was nothing.
"Where should it come from?" he asked.
"I don't know, just add it in," I said.
"Budgets don't work that way."
I got frustrated and left the room.
Scott's perspective: Now that two people are living on one income, I tried to explain to Tiffany that we would need to budget our money very carefully. She doesn't get it at all.
The other day she came home from work and said, "Let's go out to dinner."
"But we went out last week," I said. "We don't have enough money to keep going out to dinner like that."
Then she came home last weekend with some new towels for the bathroom. We didn't have that expense built into the budget, either. If she keeps on spending like this, we'll run out of money before the end of the month.
I like to cook, so when I served her two pieces of bacon in a sandwich, she said she wanted five. I told her we needed to ration our food better if we want to make it until the end of the week. She freaked out and said she wasn't hungry any more.
Tiffany's perspective: Sure, I understand that we don't make a lot of money, but food is a necessity. And why can't we go out to eat once in a while? Scott told me that his family only went out on special occasions. My family went out three times a week.
Scott's perspective: In my family, we went through some really tough times. I remember eating canned hash for a week straight. I never want to relive that time again. I guess I could buy more food at the grocery store, but eating out is so expensive.
It's obvious that Scott and Tiffany came from homes with very different financial priorities. Tiffany never managed an allowance, let alone a family budget. Scott, on the other hand, worked since he was very young and paid for most of his own expenses. His difficult times during his childhood left scars that made it difficult to use money for entertainment, or even necessities; in contrast, the excessive spending in Tiffany's family caused her to have an unrealistic view of money and savings.
Over time Scott and Tiffany worked together to agree on a budget both could live with. They both found creative ways to socialize, such as inviting friends over for potlucks. Dinner out was budgeted so they could go for a special treat once a month; picnicking was another way to "go out."
Besides managing the food bill, they increased the fun money as a reward for Tiffany's labor after getting a raise. She continued to buy a few things for the home, but checked out books at the library on how to decorate for less money. She also shopped at thrift stores or made items herself.
Twenty-one years later, Scott and Tiffany have since learned to enjoy each other's differences.
Tiffany's perspective: I'm so glad that I listened to Scott's money-saving ideas. We have never had credit card debt in our entire 21 years of marriage. We have two paid-off vehicles and a manageable house payment. We enjoy going out to dinner once in a while, but embrace the times we can enjoy ourselves without spending money, like when we go on a bike ride together or sit at the park and visit without the kids. We also have plenty of food in the pantry that Scott buys on sale.
Scott's perspective: Tiffany has kept me from making money too important. I have watched God provide all of the things we need. We use our money for living, ministry and for fun. I'm also thankful that Tiffany understands the importance of staying debt free. (And I'm happy to say I've yet to eat canned hash!)
She's also found creative ways to make money on the side as a stay at home mom. I love how savvy she's become shopping the sales and negotiating for lower prices for household and clothing items. We enjoy much needed vacations, and I've become less frugal when I bring home the bacon.
*Names Changed
When my children want to buy something at the store, I don't say, "No, you can't have it." Instead I ask, "Do you have any money in your checkbook?"
Before my children became teenagers, I decided to teach them about financial responsibility. I gave them their own checkbook ledgers. They recorded weekly allowances under the deposit column, while purchases were posted under payment withdrawal. Each Friday, they balanced their books.
I'm hoping this practice keeps them from becoming part of these statistics reported recently by Sallie Mae.
Of 13,000 college students, more than half had accumulated $5,000 or more in credit card debt while in school, and one-third owed over $10,000 in credit card debt. In light of this information, I decided I better start training earlier rather than watch them face their future creditors later.
As adults, we've become so accustomed to managing our own money that we often forget to introduce basic concepts to our children. How is money earned and deposited? What is the function of an ATM machine? What does it mean to balance a checkbook?
These are simple to us because we've been doing them for years; to your children, these are foreign concepts. We assume they know more than they do, but don't let them fool you. For example, a recent survey taken by the JumpStart coalition for Personal Financial Literacy of 5,775 high school seniors from 37 states, found that only 40.3 percent of the students realized that they could lose their health insurance if their parents become unemployed.
I decided one of the best ways to explain how finances work was to have my children make out the checks for our family bills each month. This way they can see how quickly Mom and Dad's paycheck is eaten away by mortgage, utility and phone payments. It also gives them a first hands look at what is required to make ends meet.
Besides handing over the checkbook, we decided to hold regular family meetings where we talk about our financial goals and review current budgeting decisions.
Of course the education process wouldn't be complete without incorporating godly financial principles. In our materialistic world, teens especially are inundated with media and their peers telling them they need to have more stuff; if they don't tread cautiously, they can become sucked into the false belief that "money solves everything."
Having regular finance meetings are a great opportunity to introduce many Bible verses that teach eternal truths about money, like what Matthew 6:21 says: "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Luke 16:13 and Ecclesiastes 5:10 are other great examples: "No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money" and "Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless."
These verses can provide a springboard to discuss how to best view money in God's economy.
You may be ready to move beyond convincing your kids about the importance of fiscal responsibility. Are you ready to help them develop sound financial habits? Here are some practical tips you can put in their back pocket:
Entrusting teens now with opportunities to spend and save money allow them to learn while under parental guidance and protection. Today's financial mistakes become teachable moments for better spending habits and responsible stewardship tomorrow.
It's an easy trap to fall into. When your child reaches for something he wants, you respond with the words, "We can't afford that."
Did you ever think this could send a negative indictment on God, the one who supposedly supplies all of our needs? Yet if you're a single parent and struggling to make ends meet each month, you may often wonder if, indeed, God has left you to fend for yourself.
Brenda Armstrong, President of Mercy Tree, a ministry geared to encourage single parents, says that even though they may feel like the odds are stacked against them, God hasn't forgotten them. In her book, Financial Relief for Single Parents: A Proven Plan for Achieving the Seemingly Impossible, Armstrong suggests single parents take these steps to create financial harmony in the home.
"First of all, realize that you can make it on one income," she says. "But it involves planning. You have to know what your needs are, then you'll know how to pray."
In addition to prayer, Armstrong suggests writing everything down relating to finances, from income and spending to debts and future goals.
"What does your family want?" she asks. "A vacation? College tuition? If you have recorded these items, when a child asks about an unplanned purchase, say, 'It's not that you don't have enough money. God always gives us what we need. It's rather that item doesn't fit into our goals.'"
Secondly, she says, forgive yourself.
"Many single [parents] think that their financial struggles are a result of something they did wrong. If they did sin, repent and move on. Forgive yourself. Isaiah 43:25 reads, 'I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.'"
Current financial struggles are what they are—an opportunity to regroup and reorganize the budget. Yes, the weight of carrying the burden for the family can be overwhelming, says Armstrong, but you can still make things fun.
"Involve the kids in creative ways to cut back and save money," she says. "Have a lemonade stand. Put a penny in a jar each time a child turns off lights or does a full load of wash to give a real visual of saving money. Have movie nights at home or with friends; share DVDs or bake cookies at home together."
Of course, one important step to financial freedom in every home is to live debt free. Armstrong suggests eliminating credit cards and revolving accounts. The freedom that comes from not having them is reward enough, but you're also creating a debt-free legacy for your children and will have more resources for the goals you have set.
Finally, Armstrong reminds single parents to get connected. Ninety-five percent of single parents don't attend church on a regular basis. There's a good reason for that. Trying to find a place in the church can feel like a monumental challenge for single parents.
"The career group is usually too young, the single's group often has the least amount of responsibility, while the single parent has the greatest amount of responsibility, and the married class is filled with couples who often discuss the marital relationship," Armstrong says.
Despite the social hurdles, Armstrong encourages single parents to seize the opportunity; allow God to use them as a voice for other single parents. In fact, you can help any church members—regardless of their age or stage of life—become educated about the needs of single parents.
All of these factors—goals, attitude and involvement—play an integral part in single parents' financial freedom. The key, however, is to remember that our Lord is impartial and will supply every need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

College of Engineering and Computer Science gets $3.1 million award from Chrysler Group for hybrid truck project
December 18, 2009
DEARBORN / Dec. 18, 2009---In August 2009, President Barack Obama unveiled an unprecedented investment as part of a massive, $2.4-billion effort to accelerate the manufacturing and deployment of hybrid electric vehicles and new-generation batteries―and to save or create thousands of jobs. The goal is to get 1 million plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) on the road by 2015.
The University of Michigan-Dearborn will be part of this historic effort. Chrysler Group LLC, which received $48 million of the federal grant monies, has awarded Chris Mi, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, $3.1 million for his proposed, Ram Pickup Truck PHEV Development and Demonstration Project.
The $2.4 billion investment is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy.
I feel very excited and also fortune because were the only major development partner on this project, Mi says, and the only university to work with an OEM on such a project.
Mis research role includes the development of a state-of-the-art power electronics laboratory for PHEV power converter, battery pack, and e-motor testing and characterization; battery management and control development; evaluation of PHEV on-road performance; charger development, testing, and validation; a power panel for battery control and charger interface; and much more.
This research is an integral part of Chryslers overall project titled, Advancing Transportation through Vehicle ElectrificationPHEV. UM-Dearborn is one of many partners in the projects, but a key leader in that it will conduct research and develop systems and products. Many of the other partners are municipalities around the country that will be involved more in demonstration than in research and development.
UM-Dearborn is uniquely suited to this role, Mi says. We have been working toward the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle for many years―specifically in battery management, vehicle control, power electronics, and electric motors. We have also worked with Chrysler on their recent PHEV development.
Mis proposal calls for a Ram Crew 1500 that is the only plug-in hybrid truck available, and the only full-sized truck with advanced technology partial zero emission, among other features. The truck would have a next generation lithium ion battery with charge times of two to four hours at 220 volts, or four to six hours at 110 volts; a full hybrid system function without plug-in; a range of 655 miles; and a regenerative braking system.
Power management will be one of the key challenges in this development― how you minimize fuel consumption for different driver behavior and different driving scenarios with a fixed battery pack, Mi explains. Another challenge is the safety and reliability of the vehicle system with a large, lithium ion battery pack.
The specific goal that Mis research will help accomplish is what U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu in August called the launch of an advanced battery industry in America that will result in the creation of tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. battery and auto industries.
Auto-industry-rich southeast Michigan is the launching pad for much of this effort, and UM-Dearborn is well-located to be involved, and to help boost the local economy during this time of transition.
As our work evolves into the electrification of vehicles, well create several thousand jobs, at a minimum, Mi says. And there also will be continuing efforts to get people attracted to this new technology. In fact, as part of this entire effort to put PHEVs on the road, the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, UM-Dearborn, and Kettering University have received $2.5 million to create training and education programs for green mobility.
About University of Michigan-Dearborn
The University of Michigan-Dearborn is celebrating its 50th anniversary throughout the 2009/2010 academic year. Founded in 1959 with a gift of just over 200 acres of land and $6.5 million from the Ford Motor Company, UM-Dearborn has been distinguished by its commitment to providing excellent educational opportunities responsive to the needs of southeastern Michigan. The university has 8,700 students pursuing undergraduate, masters, doctoral and professional degrees in the liberal arts and sciences, engineering, business, education, and public administration. With a faculty devoted to teaching, and students committed to achievement, UM-Dearborn has been shaped by its history of interaction with business, government and industry in southeastern Michigan, and is committed to responding to the needs of the region in the future.

Your fan character looks a lot like paulo.
Anonymous #1 4 years ago.
When I first found the BCB comic I thought Paulo was a Fox, and even after learning that wasn't the case the idea stuck. As a result I adapted his features to base the Maned Wolf character off of... I still feel like a douche for self-inserting a character into Taeshi's creation, hence the apology.

Lush Women's
Duchess of dirt
Meet the new Lush. Our most versatile full suspension mountain bike for women gives you do-it-all 27.5" wheels and a fun, confidence-inspiring ride.
Lush fits you and the terrain perfectly so you can hit the trails with confidence, test your skills and come back grinning. Because grown-ups deserve playtime too.
Best-fitting women's MTB
Exclusive Women's Specific Design (WSD) features optimised standover for confidence, plus saddle, grips, and other contact points sized for you.
27.5" versatility
The most versatile wheel size for the most versatile bike. 27.5" gives you the quick handling of a 26" wheel, with more stability and speed.
Advanced suspension package
Advanced tech, like DRCV (Dual Rate Control Valve), ABP (Active Braking Pivot), and RE:aktiv, makes Trek the best-riding full suspension bike.
Smooth, controlled braking
Our patented ABP (Active Braking Pivot) keeps your suspension from stiffening up when you're on the brakes, giving you confident, steady control.
What people are saying
Weight distribution feels perfectly centered both uphill and (especially) downhill, where you can let the bike fly with no fear of the front wheel washing out or dropping into holes. The Lush's geometry is one of few that give women the same aggressive trail position that the boys enjoy. It's designed to go fast and fit right…Special to the Lush is a smaller rear shock and higher leverage ratio than on the men's bikes. This allows lighter riders to use more air pressure for optimal performance.
Selene Yeager
Bicycling's Fit Chick
The Lush has super-smooth handling, easy braking (important for smaller hands) and a very natural feel made for confident riding.

The process by which one signal is used to modify another. The controlled signal is referred to as the 'carrier', and the controlling signal as the 'modulator'. It is of the greatest importance in both sound synthesis and signal processing.
The two main parameters of a sound to which modulation is commonly applied are those of amplitude (loudness) and frequency. Amplitude modulation of a signal causes changes in loudness in that signal. If the control signal is a slow regular waveform (e.g. a sine wave) the result is a tremolo - similar to (and often confused with) vibrato, except that there is no pitch deviation. Once the frequency of the modulator is raised above 10 to 15 Hz the tremolo amalgamates into a complex sound with added frequency components derived from the pitches of carrier and modulator. An irregular or transient control signal is generally associated with envelope generation.
Frequency modulation causes the pitch of the carrier to rise and fall according to the shape of the modulating waveform. If this is, as above, a slow regular waveform, the result is vibrato if the depth of the modulation is low, otherwise becoming a wide siren-like effect. If the modulating waveform is a series of discrete steps, the result is a series of discrete pitches. Particularly complex sounds arise when the frequency of the modulator is close to or even higher than that of the carrier. (Source - Richard Dobson (1992). A Dictionary of Electronic and Computer Music Technology. Oxford University Press.)
Ring modulation allows for the sum and difference of two input frequencies to be combined to create a new sound. Often one of these frequencies is at a sub-audio level allowing the creation of a sound of two similar frequencies, frequently with noisy textural characteristics.

Photography: Sean Pollack
In 2012 Harvard Business School professor Anita Elberse had a unique opportunity to examine Ferguson's management approach and developed an HBS case study around it. Now she and Ferguson have collaborated on an analysis of his enormously successful methods.
Anita Elberse: Success and staying power like Sir Alex Ferguson's demand study—and not just by football fans. How did he do it? Can one identify habits that enabled his success and principles that guided it? During what turned out to be his final season in charge, my former student Tom Dye and I conducted a series of in-depth interviews with Ferguson about his leadership methods and watched him in action at United's training ground and at its famed stadium, Old Trafford, where a nine-foot bronze statue of the former manager now looms outside. We spoke with many of the people Ferguson worked with, from David Gill to the club's assistant coaches, kit manager, and players. And we observed Ferguson during numerous short meetings and conversations with players and staff members in the hallways, in the cafeteria, on the training pitch, and wherever else the opportunity arose. Ferguson later came to HBS to see the ensuing case study taught, provide his views, and answer students' questions, resulting in standing-room-only conditions in my classroom and a highly captivating exchange.
Ferguson and I discussed eight leadership lessons that capture crucial elements of his approach. Although I've tried not to push the angle too hard, many of them can certainly be applied more broadly, to business and to life. In the article that follows, I describe each lesson as I observed it, and then give Ferguson his say.1. Start with the Foundation
Upon his arrival at Manchester, in 1986, Ferguson set about creating a structure for the long term by modernizing United's youth program. He established two "centers of excellence" for promising players as young as nine and recruited a number of scouts, urging them to bring him the top young talent. The best-known of his early signings was David Beckham. The most important was probably Ryan Giggs, whom Ferguson noticed as a skinny 13-year-old in 1986 and who went on to become the most decorated British footballer of all time. At 39, Giggs is still a United regular. The longtime stars Paul Scholes and Gary Neville were also among Ferguson's early youth program investments. Together with Giggs and Beckham, they formed the core of the great United teams of the late 1990s and early 2000s, which Ferguson credits with shaping the club's modern identity.
It was a big bet on young talent, and at a time when the prevailing wisdom was, as one respected television commentator put it, "You can't win anything with kids." Ferguson approached the process systematically. He talks about the difference between building a team, which is what most managers concentrate on, and building a club.
Sir Alex Ferguson: From the moment I got to Manchester United, I thought of only one thing: building a football club. I wanted to build right from the bottom. That was in order to create fluency and a continuity of supply to the first team. With this approach, the players all grow up together, producing a bond that, in turn, creates a spirit.
When I arrived, only one player on the first team was under 24. Can you imagine that, for a club like Manchester United? I knew that a focus on youth would fit the club's history, and my earlier coaching experience told me that winning with young players could be done and that I was good at working with them. So I had the confidence and conviction that if United was going to mean anything again, rebuilding the youth structure was crucial. You could say it was brave, but fortune favors the brave.

Editor's Note: This column was coauthored by Bob Morrison.
After nearly a month of cringing and getting lost in their own contradictions, the Obama administration is finally clinging to an elliptical mention by the president of "acts of terror" that he claims won't deter us from doing whatever we are supposed to do in the Mideast. What was it we were supposed to be doing over there?
Oh, supporting democracy, of course. But democracy in a country where "freedom fighters" roar into town shooting their rifles in the air is going to be hard to achieve.

Delaware Federal Legislators
3 Legislators/
One common definition of a cartel is: an association of manufacturers or suppliers with the purpose of maintaining prices at a high level and restricting competition. Or if you prefer this definition from Merriam-Webster, here you go: car-tel, noun: a group of businesses that agree to fix prices so they all will make more money. I think that pretty much sums up what the U.S. health care system has become.
WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswomen Jackie Speier (D-San Francisco/San Mateo Counties) received a letter today from Sol J. Ross, Head of Federal Affairs of CVS Health, in response to her September 9th letter to CEO Larry J. Merlo calling on CVS Health to correct an error and provide remedies to consumers who have been charged an illegal co-pay for generic contraceptives at CVS pharmacies.
A federal appeals court panel in the District struck down a major part of the 2010 health-care law Tuesday, ruling that the tax subsidies that are central to the program may not be provided in at least half of the states. The ruling, if upheld, could potentially be more damaging to the law than last month's Supreme Court decision on contraceptives.
At my local Kaiser facility today, the pharmacy was bursting at the seams with patients and others waiting for pharmacy services. Children with runny noses clinging to their mothers' legs were fussing, and others were being checked in by a Kaiser employee trying to help manage traffic flow.
The good news from last week was that 8 million Americans have signed up for health insurance through the Obamacare-created exchanges. The not so good news is that because most of us have to buy coverage from a private insurer, we will always have to be vigilant to make sure our medical claims get paid and that an insurance bureaucrat miles from where we live doesn't succeed in denying coverage for medically necessary care.
Since October 2013, Americans have been enrolling for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on Healthcare.gov or through insurance agents and brokers. With only a few weeks to go before the March 31, 2014 ACA enrollment deadline, the US Department of Health and Human Services has reported that more than 5 million Americans have enrolled for health insurance through the state-based exchanges.
Dr. Conrad Flick, noted North Carolina family physician, recently appeared on a panel discussion on healthcare conducted by the North Carolina Academy of Family Physicians. During that forum Dr. Flick raised a nagging question.
Hundreds of Moral Monday demonstrators gathered on the steps of the Capitol this week to protest Governor Nathan Deal's refusal to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, more than 400,000 people in Georgia will be denied Medicaid coverage by state leaders.
"Healthcare and access to healthcare—preventative services as well as treatment—is a civil right, a human right, and a moral right," Otis Brawley, chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society and a physician at Grady Hospital, said to WABE 90.1 FM.
With growing national attention to hospital pricing practices, new data released by the nation's largest nurses organization today showed that hospital charges continue to skyrocket with some U.S. hospitals charging more than ten times their cost – nearly $1,200 for every $100 of their total costs.
TODAY marks the beginning of health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act's new insurance exchanges, for which two million Americans have signed up. Now that the individual mandate is officially here, let me begin with an admission: Obamacare is awful.
With all the clamor over the website woes of the rollout of the Affordable Care Act finally ebbing, let's hope the media can begin to notice some changes in the delivery of health care that will have more far-reaching consequences for health care quality and access long after the sign-up problems are a distant memory.
A truly historic meeting took place in New York City at a Labor Breakfast on December 6th, co-hosted by the Progressive Democrats of America and the New York City Central Labor Council in celebration of the endorsement of HR 676 - Expanded and Improved Medicare For All by the NYC CLC last May.
Alabama - About 70 people braved the frigid weather Saturday afternoon to rally in a Birmingham park against Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley's adamant refusal to expand Medicaid in the state. During the demonstration at Kelly Ingram Park, several speakers - progressive activists, aspiring politicians and concerned Alabamians - railed against the governor's decisions.
Ah, the Affordable Care Act. We've all been inundated with the stories about the rocky launch of Obamacare's Healthcare.gov website, the policy cancellations that drop people from coverage rather than meet minimum standards required by the ACA, and other issues like the one I have faced with a deeply flawed subsidy/tax credit application process that required a lengthy and intrusive Medicaid application.
Some of these issues were predictable and preventable; others were not.
Colorado's Affordable Care Act/Obamacare exchange/marketplace website went on-line October 1, so I was anxious to find relief from the high premiums and also to find coverage that might actually fit my needs better as I enter a period for more diagnostics and potential treatments. Well, that was not to be.
And now, Dr. Hightower offers this advice for improving your mental health: Don't fume about the GOP's lunatic effort to kill health care reform — just laugh at their farcical show.
Way too many times I've landed myself in rooms with lots of intellectuals who know everything there is to know about single-payer, improved and expanded Medicare for all for life and who are determined to share every bit of that knowledge over and over again. The audiences are often pretty much the same single-payer activists and advocates sprinkled with a new person or two. Often these audiences are predominantly white, older, and not hurting for money.
We drove to Colorado Springs yesterday to start work on a new chapter of Health Care for All Colorado. HCAC is working to achieve health care reform under an improved and expanded Medicare for all for life system. In order to achieve that goal, we must build grassroots support and capacity for political action. It is good to see the organization reaching out.
Many people who advocate for an improved and expanded Medicare for all for life health system in the US tend to vilify the for-profit, private insurance industry and big Pharma but ignore the atrocities committed by almost every other segment of the system. If we are to fix what ails the US health care system, we will have to get a whole lot more honest about all of the factions that lift profit-making above all else when engaging in the delivery of health care services.
Millions of Americans are deep in medical debt. Unfortunately, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will throw a lifeline to very few. According to the Congressional Budget Office, even after health reform is fully implemented in 2014, 30 million to 36 million people will remain uninsured.

During the first week of the fall term, UM-Dearborn welcomes higher numbers of new students to campus.
September 10, 2010
DEARBORN / Sept. 10, 2010---During the first week of the fall term, the University of Michigan-Dearborn welcomed higher numbers of new students to campus.
New transfer student enrollment is more than 800 students, the highest number of transfer students in 26 years, marking the fifth consecutive year of over 700 newly enrolled transfer students. New freshmen enrollment is more than 900 students, marking the fourth consecutive year of at least 900 freshmen. While final enrollment numbers are expected on Sept. 22, combined transfer and freshmen enrollment is expected to be the highest in university history.
This years incoming freshman class has an average high school grade point average of 3.54 and an average ACT score of 24.14. These are the highest academic scores in 10 years.
"Were pleased that despite the difficult economic environment were able to increase enrollment at UM-Dearborn, said Stanley E. Henderson, vice chancellor for enrollment management and student life at UM-Dearborn. Were seeing sustainable growth that demonstrates that higher education is being valued as a way to create better futures for people in our community.
UM-Dearborn enrollment figures are attributed to the increased number of community college graduates, the universitys recruitment initiatives, the universitys reputation and tradition of academic excellence and an increase in financial aid available to students.

View of the Northern Presidentials from Carter Dome
Carter Dome 4832? and Mount Hight 4675'
19 Mile Brook Trail Carter Dome Trail Carter-Moriah Trail
10.8 Miles 3500' Elevation gain
Kevin, Jude, Emma and Blue
With an absolutely beautiful autumn weekend in the mountains in the forecast we knew there would be several options to join friends on various hikes. In the end we decided that although we wished we could join them all it was perhaps better if we went on our own agenda. Much to our dismay we could not spend the night as we had a family obligation on Sunday, and would be constrained with time limits on Saturday in order to get home before dark. I do not like driving the mountain roads at night. A recent road incident our friends Michael and Donna had is testament to why. So, with all that in mind we set off on our own to visit a different kind of old friend, and to make the most of the single day of the long weekend we had to enjoy the autumn mountains.
19 Mile Brook
The old friend I speak of is Mount Hight. Mount Hight is one of those peaks that bears the indignity of being well over four thousand feet, yet not making the AMC's Four Thousand Footer list. Now, I have nothing against the list. It is a fine list and certainly a worthy goal and an excellent achievement upon completion. Yet, there are many mountains such as Mount Hight that deserve recognition for their outstanding views, wonderful trails, and overall excellence. I guess this is why people created more lists. At any rate, lists aside, we love to visit this peak. It is certainly one of the best views in the White Mountains, surpassing, in my opinion, any views that can be had from its higher neighbors along the Carter Range. Views of the Northern Presidentials to the west and across the Dry River Wilderness to the east are breathtaking.
Foliage Along 19 Mile Brook Trail
As we hiked in along the 19 Mile Brook Trail the morning sun shone in at us and backlit the beautiful foliage that is finally taking over the mountains. It seems late this year, but where it can be found, I still believe it to be quite impressive. There was good water flow in the brook along the way as there had been quite a bit of rain over the previous week. Along the way there were many reminders of Hurricane Irene that passed through in late August. Lots of storm and run-off debris in the brooks, a few wash-outs along the trail and a misplaced bridge left many clues. We came across Cooper Hill trying to make things right again on the Carter Dome Trail. Our thanks to him and all trail adopters for their many hours of volunteer work.
Trail Buddies
Our trail-mate Blue had not been on these trails before and he was thrilled to be out and about in the mountains with us. His mom Linda (Climbing Shoes) will be off the trails (and rocks) for some time as she tries to heal a fractured sacrum. Please send her the thoughts, prayers and good vibes you would for any member of the hiking and climbing community, that she may be back on the trails and ropes before much more time has passed. She and Blue need each other. In our usual way, we hiked first up to Carter Dome before making our way back along the ridge to Mount Hight. In this way old legs get to avoid the steep, rocky, sometimes wet climb up to Mount Hight from the Carter Dome Trail.
Fearless Leader
We made our way up to Carter Dome thus "bagging" a peak for Blue. There was a group of young folks from Quebec at the summit marker and as I did my usual "tag" I couldn't help but mention I was from the Boston area and had recently touched the Stanley Cup. Naturally, they were not impressed. The Bruins are about 20 behind in the Stanley Cup win column to Les Habitants, but this past year it came to Boston! It's been too long, and I hope it can stick around for awhile! After some lunch and after meeting some more folks and some more dogs, we sauntered over along the lovely ridge-line trail to Mount Hight.
Rounded Balance Beam
The plan was to spend some time on Mount Hight and to take in the views and get as much "Mountain Time" out of our one day visit as we possibly could. After "Second Lunch" we found we had the bald, rocky summit to ourselves. Some Gray Jays were our only company, but they must have been full from a day of begging, and they didn't like the dogs much, so they didn't stick around. We alternately sat, stood back up, changed viewing direction, and sat again, trying to take in the views in all directions and committing them to memory. When what seemed like minutes turned out to be hours we grudgingly picked up our packs and began the steep descent from the wonderful heights.
View From Mount Hight w/ Yellow Glider
The trek back down though the colorful woods was lit by a sun that had lowered and now came in from a different angle. Beautiful colors lit up above us as we trudged along. The hike back out was as wonderful as the hike in had been hours before. The sound of the brook was calming, the color above us was soothing, and once again the mountains had worked their magic on our souls.

You seem to be approaching the question from the perspective that a campground membership is desirable or necessary. Although some RVers feel that memberships are an important aspect of their RV experience, just as many or more don't have any interest in buying into a membership program.
My wife and I have been full-timing for over two years and see no reason why we would want anything other than the inexpensive Good Sam and Passport America memberships. We like to go where we want to and don't want our travels to be constrained by the presence or absence of CG's that are part of our club. Furthermore, we carefully select the CG's we stay at mostly based on reviews posted on this website; there are plenty of membership parks reviewed here that we wouldn't even consider staying at.

The reason those membership programs and parks exist is because they return more money to plan's ownership and management than they cost. You really need to use the parks in the system almost to their maximum allowable nights for the plan to be beneficial to you. If you use them extensively and exclusively, you will save money. If you are like most people and eventually drift away from them in exchange for the freedom to choose parks and areas where the membership plan does not have sites available, you will quickly move from saving money to spending money. I don't think it is an exaggeration in saying that many of the membership parks are tending downward, not getting better. The membership parks are exactly the same as time share condominiums in many regards. That brand new condo will eventually be a 30 year old dated building and you will still be paying the same rates (or more likely, higher) annual fees and daily rental amounts. And be aware those membership contracts do not guarantee any park will remain in the system, no matter how much you like it. Personally, unless you are a full-timer looking to take fulll advantage of the membership in the near future, they are a bad idea.

I did a writeup on Coast-to-Coast and RPI, two of the big membership programs, a few years ago for one of the Yahoo forums. You might look at that for an extensive description of those programs: RPI and C2C
The one membership that almost all RVers can benefit from is Passport America. You amortize the annual member fee in about two nights of use. The parks vary from abysmal to four star, but there's this great web site called RVParkReviews.com that can help you select the good parks. <g>

Welcome to the forum aRVowl!
When we purchased our current RV, with the intent to full time for a bit, I was nervous about places to park for downtimes.
We had only been weekend campers (for decades) up to this point.
While traveling and camping without the job and house to rush back too, was going to be a fabulous adventure, I knew there would be times we just wanted to chill out and enjoy an area for a season.
So...I logically thought a "MemberShip" would be a potential answer. I was fearful of finding ourselves parked at WalMarts, due to overcrowding at nice places.
Do what we did. Take a couple "trial camping" trips to a couple of the Membership parks you are researching. (We did RPI, Thousand Trails, and Coast to Coast.)
I am SO thankful we did our research. Really dodged a bullet!
All the marketing brochures and sweet sales talks, could not possibly cover the sad state of affairs for those Memberships.
(Now I am not talking about Good Sam, Triple A, or Passport America. There is a Big difference.)
You do not need to plop down $3000, $5000, $10,000 to guarantee a place to play or rest for the winter, summer, or whatever!
And, there is NO RUSH. Ask for references, talk to others who are ACTUALLY camping. (Not just the sales team.)
Sorry for the mini rant. You cannot tell I get worked up over this, can you.

I'd flee from any memberships other than Passport America.
I find this web site useful free and under $12
Think of the expensive memberships as you would a "time share". The ongoing fees may eat up any savings unless you stay with them almost exclusively.

National earnings leader Julien Leparoux, who rode Kentucky invader Pure Clan to victory in the American Oaks last year, seeks to become the first jockey to win the race twice next Sunday.
Leparoux has taken a call on Magical Affair for trainer Michael Matz in the eighth running of the $700,000, Grade I test at 1 ¼ miles on turf. Kentucky-based Leparoux has earned more than $8.5 million in purses this year.
Magical Affair is one of 14 fillies expected to compete in the international affair. "She worked five-eighths today," said Matz from his training base at Fair Hill, Md., Sunday. "She will be vanned to New York and flown to California Monday."
Magical Affair, a chestnut by Giant's Causeway, has recorded two firsts and three seconds in six starts. She finished fourth in the Sands Point Stakes over a yielding Belmont Park course she did not relish on May 30.
"She was very wide in her last race and looked to be stumbling a little on the soft turf," said Matz.
Matz looked forward to a firm course and an extra furlong in the American Oaks. "She's doing good, and the distance will suit her," he said.
Magical Affair is expected to meet Sands Point winner Gozzip Girl (Kent Desormeaux) from New York, Regret Stakes runner-up The Best Day Ever (Corey Lanerie) from Kentucky, Appalachian Stakes winner Afternoon Stroll (Joseph Talamo) from Pennsylvania, Apple Charlotte (Mike Smith) from England, Rare Ransom (Patrick Smullen) from Ireland, Puttanesca (Glen Boss) from New Zealand as well as seven California-based fillies: Honeymoon Handicap winner Well Monied (Joel Rosario), Senorita Stakes winner Mrs Kipling (David Flores), Providencia Stakes winner Acting Lady (Rafael Bejarano), Third Dawn (Garrett Gomez), Lexlenos (Alex Solis), Nan (Corey Nakatani) and Pretty Unusual (Tyler Baze).
Nan and Pretty Unusual were extended invitations by racing secretary Martin Panza after the defection of two original invitees.
Third Dawn worked seven furlongs on turf Sunday in 1:25.80 for trainer John Sadler. Mrs Kipling drilled six furlongs on grass in 1:13.80 for trainer Neil Drysdale, the same distance as Nan covered in 1:13.40 for conditioner Craig Dollase. Acting Lady worked six furlongs on Cushion Track in 1:14.20 for trainer Doug O'Neill.
Siren Lure, who won the Triple Bend Handicap in 2006, seeks to become only the second horse to win the race twice when the $300,000, Grade I test is run for the 58th time at seven furlongs on Cushion Track next Sunday.
Siren Lure, an 8-year-old gelding trained by Art Sherman, has earned $994,244 and will join the millionaire club with a finish in the top five. Frank Alvarado, who guided him to three straight victories in Northern California this winter, has the call.
The only two-time winner of the race is champion Porterhouse in 1955-56.
Expected to join Siren Lure in the lineup are Eastern shippers Rebellion (Julien Leparoux) and Street Magician (Rafael Bejarano), Ack Ack Handicap winner Noble Court (Joel Rosario), Star Nicholas (Michael Baze), Paul's Hope (Garrett Gomez), Rush With Thunder (Martin Pedroza), Trumpet Player Jay (Aaron Gryder) and 3-year-olds Bet On Victor (Martin Garcia) and Zensational (Victor Espinoza).
The last 3-year-old to win the Triple Bend was Debonaire Junior in 1984.
Trumpet Player Jay worked six furlongs on Cushion Track in 1:13 for trainer Mark Glatt.
Ferneley worked seven furlongs on turf Sunday in 1:25.80 under jockey Victor Espinoza and earned the green light from trainer Ben Cecil for the $150,000 American Handicap here on the Fourth of July. The Grade II test will be run at 1 1/8 miles on turf.
Defending champion Whatsthescript (Joel Rosario) is expected to head a lineup that could also include 2008 runner-up Storm Military, the Neil Drysdale-trained duo of Artiste Royal (Rafael Bejarano) and Giant Gem (Alex Solis), Monterey Jazz (Tyler Baze), Buenos Dias and Pick Six.
Giant Gem worked six furlongs on turf in 1:14.40. El Merito, another nominee, drilled four furlongs on grass in 48 for Mike Puype.
Agent Tony Matos praised apprentice jockey Christian Santiago Reyes after the Puerto Rican native's first California victory aboard Fishin With T Ball after the 2-year-old filly led all the way and just held on in the Saturday nightcap for $40,000 maiden claimers. Reyes began riding here last week.
"He's a gold mine," said Matos. "He was the leading bug at Churchill Downs and has the bug until next May. He just turned 19. He was riding for Wesley Ward, who developed him."
FINISH LINES — Two of the 12 3-year-old fillies entered in the $100,000 Flawlessly Stakes at one mile on turf Friday worked Sunday on the grass. Starlarks worked a bullet five furlongs in :59.80 for trainer Paddy Gallagher, while Eloquently drilled six furlongs in 1:12.20 for conditioner John Sadler …Jockey Mike Smith will be at Churchill Downs Saturday to ride Shoemaker Mile winner Thorn Song in defense of his Firecracker Handicap crown. Garrett Gomez will also be gone on the Fourth of July to ride Hollywood Derby winner Court Vision in the United Nations Stakes at Monmouth Park…Redondo Beach Stakes winner Tuscan Evening worked a bullet six furlongs on turf in 1:11.60 for the Jerry Hollendorfer stable for the $250,000 Royal Heroine Mile on July 11.

ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. – A trial date has been set for the two brothers accused of trying to pull off a $5 million lottery scam.
Andy and Nayel Ashkar will head to court on April 22nd.
Andy has been charged with first degree criminal possession. Nayel has been charged with first degree attempted grand larceny.
The two are accused of scamming a customer out of a $5 million winning ticket by saying it was only worth $5,000. Police say it happened back in 2006 at the Green Ale Market, which is owned by a family member.
According to investigators, six years later, the brothers planned to illegally claim the actual prize money from the state lottery.
The ultimate fate of the winnings are still in question.

You might have noticed that this week's issue has a plethora of solid statistics about what looks like a real recovery for the commercial real estate markets. On page 1, new data from Moody's Investors Service and Real Capital Analytics indicates that prices—led by the multifamily sector—are continuing to march upward. On page 5, Auction.com is finding the deal volume is following the same trajectory.
