Banned Substances Control Group – BSCG
A Trusted Leader in Drug Testing and Supplement Certification
In 2004, Banned Substances Control Group (BSCG) helped found a new industry focused on drug testing and dietary supplement certification for banned substances in sport. We have since taken the industry to a whole new level for all consumers.
Our initial dietary supplement certification program focused on the protection of elite athletes & professionals and targeted banned substances in sport; this still remains a key focus. We realized, however, that human athletes are not the only individuals who face risks from dietary supplement contamination. Indeed, ~75% of the contamination issues that the come from drugs not banned in sport, leaving the broader consumer population at risk. Equines & canines face similar challenges as humans with concerns over feed contamination, compounded veterinary drugs and a burgeoning group of veterinary supplements.
BSCG has responded by broadening our drug testing menu for dietary supplements to focus on drugs of concern not only to elite athletes and professionals but equines and canines as well as consumers at large. Our testing menu includes more than 483 drugs; 272 substances banned in sport and 211 additional prescription, over-the-counter and illicit drugs not banned in sport. Our equine & canine screen adds drugs banned by the Federation Equine International (FEI) and the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association (TOBA). We offer the maximum protection for banned substances in sport with our menu covering compounds that were responsible for more than 96% of positive drug tests that have occurred in World Anti-Doping Agency doping control over the last decade. We not only have the most finely tuned coverage for drugs in sport but are the first certification program to cover drugs beyond those banned in sport.
We also offer a full suite of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) testing services including analysis for heavy metals, pesticides, solvents, microbiological agents, nutritional label claims and ingredient verification. Our BSCG Certified Quality program is available to verify ingredient identity, label claims, and test for contaminants. The BSCG Certified GMP program provides onsite audits for GMP compliance.
Certification is available to supplement companies, manufacturing facilities and ingredient suppliers as well as sporting groups, leagues, teams and athletes through our . BSCG is trusted by top athletes, trainers, sport governing bodies, teams, consumers and brands to ensure dietary supplements are free of drugs and other contaminants that can lead to health issues or positive drug tests.

Regions: Central Valley: Cartago and Heredia
Costa Rica's history is everywhere. The rural communities and their people make up one of the most interesting parts of the country. Cartago and Heredia are two other of the largest cities that constitute the Central Valley, and inside their borders you will become part of the essence that has constituted the nation for years.
Situated almost entirely on the Atlantic side of the continental divide, Cartago is directly affected by the moisture the trade winds bring. However, the city of Cartago itself is one of the driest parts of the country.
During the colonial period, Cartago remained the capital of the province of Costa Rica. In 1823, two years after obtaining its independence from Spain, the country's political center moved to San Jose.
Remmants of the past
During the 1560's, the first church was built in the Valley of Ujarras, near the Reventazon River. Recurring floods and pests caused people to flee the area. The ruins of the church are still visible and have been declared a national monument. Ask around, for there is a very nice waterfall nearby.
The church in the main city of Cartago didn't have much better luck. Construction began in 1574, but due to earthquake damage, it had to be rebuilt five times between then and 1910. this same year a quake caused massive damage, and the church was ultimately abandoned. The ruins are now the centerpiece of the town's park.
A short five blocks East of the ruins stands the Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels. Costa Rica's national religious shrine, this is an impressive Byzantine style church.
Every year, on August 2nd, thousands of devotees from across the country make a pilgrimage on foot to honor the Virgin Mary. This day is also used to commemorate the miraculous appearance of a small carved image of the virgin mother to a young native girl in 1635. the church was erected on the actual site, and the rock on which the statue appeared can be seen in a crypt alongside the church's altar.
More in Cartago
About an hour's drive Southeast of San Jose, just beyond the town of Paraiso, lies the splendorous scenic valley of Orosi. On your way, along the road towards Orosi, you will come upon a lookout point on the valley rim that is worth a stop. You will have an excellent panoramic view of the valley below and the Irazu Volcano to the North. The country's oldest church that's still in use, dating back to the 1700's, can be found in the town of Orosi.
Great Coffee
The province of Heredia is the center of Costa Rica's coffee production. It is the best way to leave the city, without having to go far. Just 15 miles from San Jose, you will be walking through evergreen or cloud forests. The geographical variations of Heredia (the smallest of the seven provinces) make the climate go from warm and humid lowlands, to cool and damp highlands.
In between San Jose and the city of Heredia, lies Santo Domingo. This quaint area is truly delightful. Several colonial houses have been restored and are focal points of the local architecture.
Heredia, the main city, is popularly known as the City of Flowers. The National University is set here, and has of one the best veterinarian schools in Latin America. The main church was built ion 1796, and is decorated with bells brought from Cuzco, Peru. Stained glass from Europe depicts scenes from the life of Christ, and it is one of the oldest in Costa Rica.
After Cartago, the village of Barva – less than 1.8 miles North of what is now the city of Heredia – was one of the first to be colonized by the Spaniards. Founded in 1561, the introduction of coffee to Costa Rica caused the fertile southern slopes of the Barva volcano to become populated with plantations of this crop. The colonial era adobe buildings that surrounded the central park have been restored, and thus, they still give the town an old style feeling.
Cerro de la Muerte
This name literally means Mountain of Death, and it is approximately a 31-mile stretch of the PanAmerican Highway. From here, you can witness practically all of the country's highland flora and fauna. Mornings can be very pleasant and sunny, but overnight temperatures can fall to near freezing. Layers of clothing are advised, especially when walking around throughout the day. Don't forget your sun block; the thinner air and cooler temperatures can burn without you even noticing.
Why the name? It predates the construction of the PanAmerican Higway and refers to the fatalities of those who attempted the arduous crossing from the Central Valley to the Valley of San Isidro del General. The journey entailed an arduous journey on foot or on horseback, through cold and rainy nights.
More in Heredia
Navigating along the Sarapiqui River is an excellent way to come in contact with wildlife such as three and two-toed sloths; mantled howler monkeys; Southern river otters; black river turtles; American crocodiles; and a wide variety of birds. Moving upstream the river becomes one of the country's finest for kayaking and whitewater rafting. The further upstream you go, the more challenging the rapids get.
On of the best sites for biological studies is La Selva Biological Station. It's not only for scientists. Bird lovers and serious naturalists can also take great advantage of the state-of-the-art lab facilities on the edge of the rain forest. La Selva is one of three biological stations in Costa Rica, owned and operated by the Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS). This is a consortium of 50 universities from the United States and Costa Rica, dedicated to research on the topic.

At Enoteca Maria in Staten Island, "Just like grandma used to make" isn't just some advertising scheme. This kitchen is actually full of grandmas doing the cooking, not professionally trained chefs.
Owner Jody Scaravella started with Italian nonnas because he's Italian, but now he's expanded and there are women from all over the world cooking food from their native countries, including Argentina, Algeria, Syria, Poland, and Nigeria. He got his first grandmas by placing an ad in an Italian newspaper looking for "Italian housewives to cook regional dishes," but references and word of mouth help him find his cooks now.
There's even one "nonno," Giuseppe Freya, who makes all the pasta for the restaurant. And people come from all over to enjoy a home-cooked meal here. "Usually at the end of the day, the people will applaud the nonnas that have cooked for them," Scaravella explains. "They get standing ovations on a regular basis and it's really something nice."

text: This will not make much more power or torque in and of itself. The purpose is to facilitate running independent coils per cyl. With spark distribution done electronically and through separate coils, there will be a hotter more accurate and consistent spark and especially the capability to run higher RPM while maintaining a good spark. The elimination of a single coil in favor of independent coils will be more reliable too. This will open up possibilities to run higher boost and RPM and so greater power and torque. Those will be accomplished by other means such as chipping the ECU, injectors, etc. One could go with a complete aftermarket system, but this "black box" solution is intended to be a low budget and easy to install. One reason I am doing this is so I can offer 3 Bar chipset in the 3B. Spark issues do start to become more pronounced at 2.5 bar up, so I fell this is prerequisite to doing the 3 Bar upgrade. Although the solution is not trivial, it will also work with the 10V single window hall sensor ignitions as well as the 3B as they are very similar. I will be testing this initially on both my 200Q20V avant and UrQ with Megasquirt and MAC-14 ignition. Stay tuned.

Will this open up 400+HP (at the crank) potential for 3b cars? what do you think the projected cost to be? Looking forward to any 034 tie-ins.

I, too, am anxious to see the photos! I think that this might be the color for me, but I can't be sure until I see photos!
I think there's a picture of a paprika city in the reference section
Just to clarify, rouille 07 is paprika 07, correct?
Thanks, lovemel. I've seen the photo, and while it looks like a pretty color, I'm still anxious to see IRL photos from a member to see if the BalNYC photo accurately depicts the color.
NM Denver has it - it's Gorgeous!! GGH Hobo and a work or part time with SGH.
Lizz ordered a paprika city at the beginning of July. We would love to see your photos, Lizz!
I'm thinking about it, that or tomato. I think paprika is stunning. Here are some photos a lovely SA sent me...

Thank you for posting the photos; I can't see them, though.
I LOVE THE COLOR!! Now to decide which style I want it in.
Thank you, bal newbie! I can see them now. I must confess that my heart is beating more quickly now. It is amazing!
Love it! Which bag is that? I saw this last weekend and all the SA could tell me was it was a motorcyle bag. I've been trying to figure it out in the reference section.
Hi ZoeyZoo-

Officer's mosque suit adds city, chief
A Tulsa police captain who refused to require that some of his subordinates attend a Law Enforcement Appreciation Day at a mosque added the city of Tulsa and Police Chief Chuck Jordan as defendants in his federal lawsuit Wednesday.
Capt. Paul Fields filed the complaint Feb. 23 against Deputy Chief Daryl Webster, claiming that Webster retaliated against him for the "exercise of his First Amendment Rights" and singled out Fields for disparate treatment.
The lawsuit was filed two days after Fields was "temporarily transferred" from the Police Department's Riverside Division to another patrol shift at the Mingo Valley Division.

Synchronize CMVC data with Rational Team Concert data
How to configure periodic synchronization of the data
From the developerWorks archives
Date archived: December 20, 2016 | First published: January 31, 2012
IBM Configuration Management Version Control (CMVC) is older software still in use in some mainframe systems, but it has been superseded by newer Rational software, including Rational Team Concert. The tutorial explains the Item Connector Framework for integrating the two repositories and provides sample code. Learn how CMVC artifacts can be mapped to Rational Team Concert artifacts by using synchronization rules and how periodic synchronization will help you get the benefit of both applications.

Instead of ditching your efforts altogether, it's time to dig a little deeper and uncover some of the fat saboteurs that make matters worse. These six "fat triggers" shift your metabolism and upset normal hormone function inside the body, causing you to gain and hold on to fat.
1. Allergenic Foods That Cause Inflammation
Have you ever been told to avoid eating gluten or dairy products? That's certainly a recommendation I've made for years to my clients and online audience. The reason is these foods trigger inflammatory responses in your body that make losing weight and enjoying good health almost impossible. Not everyone is sensitive to them, and not everyone will respond in exactly the same fashion, but I have yet to work with a human being on this planet whose health and waistline have not improved as a result of avoiding (or at least minimizing) these allergenic foods.
2. A Sedentary Lifestyle
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that if we don't move enough, we won't be burning calories, and thus we will have trouble losing weight. In fact, we're much more likely to gain weight when sedentary, especially if we continue to eat higher amounts of the wrong foods. A simple solution for office workers? A standing desk. The evidence is quite clear: If you reduce the amount of time spent sitting, regardless of whether you exercise or not, you can reduce your risk of obesity and early mortality. If you did nothing more than just stand more throughout the day, your body would be primed to keep you lean and healthy. How, you ask? It's simple, really: Standing tones muscles, improves posture, increases blood flow, ramps up your metabolism, and burns extra calories.

3. Toxins
Toxins come in all shapes and all sizes—from pesticides to plastic by-products and lots of stuff in between. They are found in our foods, in the water we drink, in the air we breathe, and even within our homes. Some of these toxic compounds have been banned, but the damage has already been done, as they continue to bioaccumulate in the food chain and pose long-term challenges to the farming soils throughout America.
Our bodies were not designed to process these substances. A 2008 study in the prestigious journal Lancet showed that environmental toxins indeed make you fat and cause diabetes. Toxicity is also a key metabolic problem for the two-thirds of Americans who are overweight. These chemicals contribute to weight gain in various ways, including disruption of the hormone signaling system that regulates your metabolism, damage to and accumulation in your fat tissue, and increased risk for poisoning during weight loss as these toxins are released back into the circulatory system once that fat starts disappearing.
4. Deadly Belly Bugs
A healthy gut is critical for ensuring that your digestive system runs smoothly and your body stays in good health. We are eating foods that hurt our gut, which in turn makes our gut more permeable to larger food proteins, or leaky. These larger proteins, which should normally be further broken down before being absorbed, seep into our bloodstream, which triggers an inflammatory immune response. The body responds in this manner because it considers these proteins foreign and potentially dangerous, even if they're seemingly harmless foods.
More: 5 Surprising Weight-Loss Foods
Lipopolysaccharides arise in our bodies as a result of bacterial imbalances within the gut. These toxins have been shown to stimulate the formation of new fat cells, thereby promoting weight gain. In addition, these cause leptin resistance, which significantly impairs your brain's ability to respond to the "I'm full" signal that's normally prompted after eating. Thus, you tend to eat more.
5. Sugar Overload
I believe that added sugar is the single worst ingredient in the modern diet, especially as it pertains to fat loss. Numerous studies show that eating excess amounts of added sugar can have harmful effects on metabolism, leading to insulin resistance, belly fat gain, high triglyceride levels, and increases in dangerous low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Sugar is fattening, partly because it doesn't get registered in the same way as other calories by the brain, making us eat more. Not surprisingly, studies show that people who eat the most sugar are at a high risk of future weight gain and obesity.
6. Too Much "Frankenfood"
There are many causes of obesity, but one indisputable fact is that calorie consumption has increased dramatically over the past few decades. When it comes to food, your brain is constantly juggling your internal energy status (do you have sufficient calories?) and environmental triggers to determine the most appropriate digestive/metabolic (physiological) and eating (behavioral) responses.
More: 4 Environmental Factors That Affect Your Waistline
Unsurprisingly, satiety does not correspond to the calorie count of a food. It's mainly affected by the quality of the food, specifically by the presence (or lack) of certain macronutrients. Protein, fiber, carbohydrates, and fat (in that order) have the greatest satiating effect. Thus, a high-protein, high-fiber meal like salmon with lentils will keep you full longer than a high-carb, high-fat meal like pasta with cream sauce. Food companies know these facts all too well, and they specifically engineer their foods to be higher in carbohydrates, fat, sugar, and salt and lower in fiber and protein so that your brain has no choice but to crave more of them. Furthermore, the more palatable a food is, the more you have to eat to achieve satiety.
Put these triggers together, and it's no surprise that losing fat is an ongoing battle. But the silver lining is that making changes in order to avoid these bandits could lead to powerful results.

CCW holders are vetted by the police in most jurisdictions and required to have some form of training with firearms before carrying. Perhaps this could be bolstered with more training meant for the classroom environment.
I don't understand why in this country, banks, stadiums and even prisons are afforded armed protection, but our kids, which should hold value above all else (including politicians) are forced to rely on the often shoddy response time of the police when the bullets start flying.
Armed teachers, or at the very least, armed security in schools is an idea whose time is long overdue for implementation.
I belive that teachers should be armed for many reasons. First how many gunmen are going to attack a school when there's 50 teachers and staff packin heat? Second if another teacher goes crazy and starts shooting kids then the teacher next door can step in and stop the attack
My teachers are all really mean and because of this I fear for my safety. If they get guns then students need them too. If my mean teachers get guns then I need a gun at school to defend myself from them. Also I need a gun at school because I feel responsible for the safety of my classmates also. Also, guns promote equality, if everyone has guns at school then they can have equal footing and can feel equal towards together. We should give out guns around 3rd grade because at that point everyone is pretty much adults so they can responsible handle guns. Many problems in today's society could have been corrected by this policy including bullying, child abuse, and racism. I don't know why congress hasn't proposed this yet, seriously.
I believe that if teachers are armed that the number of people killed in school shootings would not be as large. I believe that they will still occur but I believe that they will be stopped sooner than when its just cops trying to stop the mass shooting. I believe that if teachers are carrying that the crime in schools will be smaller in general.
Because teachers are the number one person a intruder will go after first and then they would go after the students next. But they should also be able to carry a weapon for their students protection as well as their own too. Lastly because they could change the way safety for schools.
I think just the idea that teachers have guns will deter peopole from using schools as easy access. I am a teascher myself and I think it is important that teachers protect their students in anyway necessary. Teachers must have the right training though first. It is a right in this country that we should exercie.
I don't feel my child is safe in our school district any longer. We're near where some of the other major shootings in school have happened and I would feel better if teachers were armed and ready. THen again, if a teacher went rogue they could cause even more trouble. That would dis ease me, but not as much as the thought of a more likely shooting.
If teachers are willing to go through the proper training they should be allowed to carry guns. They are the front line if something goes wrong. They are willing to protect our children. Let us allow them something more than scissors and hiding in a corner to do this with.
Effective laws over guns in this country are not going to pass anytime soon. Even in the face of all the shootings and fatalities, the NRA an others have maintained that government has no right to regulate guns...And the ridiculous bad people doing bad things to good people and not the guns. Well, people cannot be defenseless against these sort of sporadic maniac shootings. Sound minded citizens do have a right to protect themselves. All the previous massacres are evident that the police will not show up on time. Therefore, especially in a school system, teachers should be armed for the reason of self-defense.
Only if they have proper "background checks" and mental evaluations ( so teachers are loons ) http://en.M.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_States_by_state
(Official FBI Stats) If you look at gun murders and murders per 100,000 you will see that on average the states with the highest murders are also the ones with the most restrictive gun laws , on average, the ones with relaxed gun laws but a higher average murders also have some of the biggest cities like in Florida which is 3 point something gun murders per 100,000 has Miami Jacksonville Tampa and crime will always run rampid in big cities. ( I dontn know if the FBI stats take into account self defense murders)
What if the teacher turned the gun on the students? What if a student took the gun and turned it on the teacher and the rest of the class? What if a guy broke in, took the gun, and turned it on the class? No way. Just beef up school security, and have them on guard at all times.
In fact, it's utter stupidity. The idea of making teachers (who are already underpaid for their ACTUAL jobs and now you want them to be security guards too?), who have no law enforcement training, act as armed guards in addition to their other duties is ludicrous. Putting more weapons in a school just makes it more likely that a student will get a hold of one or someone will be injured in crossfire by an untrained, armed person.
Never mind the fact that most teachers don't WANT to do this. Nevermind the fact that armed personnel in a school has never deterred school shootings, nor stopped them. Nevermind that school shootings are so rare that this is an absurd waste of money to begin with.
Teachers should not be allowed to use guns. Students could take advantage of the said weapon and use it for reasons other than self protection. If teachers do not keep a close eye on the weapon at all times something could happen for the worse of that school and community.
This move is likely to increase the risk of violent death, not decrease it. People who carry shootings are usually mentally unstable and will stop at nothing to carry out their sick deeds. Guns may not kill people, but the certainly make it much much easier for someone to do so. Only the authorities should be allowed to carry weapons in public places. Only civilians who pass rigorous background checks should be allowed to possess firearms (only pistols- no automatics, SMGs and Rifles).
I think that teachers shouldn't be allowed to carry guns around school, because they may get mad at the student if they really make them mad and actually kill them. This is not a good idea, because what if the teacher left the students in the classroom and knew that the teacher has a gun. They may go through all her things to find it. When they find the gun they could think it's not loaded and actually kill their best friend. Then it would be the Kids fought and not the teacher, because the teacher had it hidden and they found it. I also think it would also causes for fights to break out. Not only that but when the teachers get angry at each other they may try to kill each other or one may kill their self, because they can't stand it anymore.
School shootings do not happen very often, when they do, it usually is because they have some kind of access to a gun, whether it is their own illegally or it is a parents, and I think if they had a gun 10 feet from where they sat 8 hours a day, it would only tempt certain people. There would be more cases of students grabbing the teachers guns in rash decisions then there would be of people finding a gun and planning out a shooting.
Imagine a kindergarten classroom with a bunch of little kids who's parents told them that guns are very bad. Now imagine that the teacher goes to take something out of her desk and a gun falls on the floor and slides to the feet of a little child. Imagine how scared the kids would be. Also imagine that a gun falls on the floor at a high school and a student picks it up. Imagine the chaos that would cause if someone saw that student with the gun in his/her hand. There should be NO guns in school. Period.
If the teacher has a gun and he or she gets ticked she may use it on the person that ticked he or she off. Yes it may help if a criminal comes but other than that no!! Not at all!!!! If they allow them to be armed they should have to promise to only use it on a criminal and no one else. The should just have police officers at the school like mine.
Teachers can get mad and shoot one of the students. We are trying to protect our kids from guns but yet people are still stupid enough to arm teachers that they DO NOT see the point that what if a teacher loses his or her mind and kills everybody in the school, that would not have been any help.!! WOULD IT.
Look at any major conflict and see what happens when you give one side an "equalizer". Does the other side say "Well. I guess that's that". Almost never. USSR and USA. Cold War. We damn near ended modern civilization at Cuba. Equalization is not the answer or the problem.
The problem is the American gun mentality. The problem is that almost all of the guns people use to go on these rampages are legally obtained. Adam Lanza of the infamous and tragic Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting was out firing guns with his mother at the range from a young age. This is the problem!
To think that introducing more guns into the situation would be good is just horribly ironic.
You walk into a gun store in Texas. You can walk in with your ID and legally buy a handgun (or a shotgun) and walk out without registering it, and, thanks to new gun laws, walk onto your campus with said gun tucked into your belt. You can load your car up with shotguns and rifles, loaded, I might add, and legally drive around. Semi-Automatic high powered rifles? Sure.
But let's arm the teachers! That'll solve it! That's exactly what you would say isn't it. Bloody madness going on down there. Come to Canada! We are still sane!

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – One of the biggest names in the Blue Jays' organization will be making a stop in Buffalo beginning on Friday and continuing over the weekend.
Outfielder and designated hitter José Bautista is set to make a rehab assignment with the Bisons before being re-evaluated in hopes of returning to the big league club. Bautista has been battling a turf toe injury that he suffered June 16th.
If you're hoping to see the six-time All-Star locally, you'll have to act fast. The Blue Jays are hoping to have him back soon.
"If all's good, you'll probably see him Monday I would guess," manager John Gibbons told Sport Net.

Snuggle-Up Pillowcase
Fabrics: Dolce Vita Cuddle collection for Shannon Fabrics
Wrap up a body pillow with the simplest-ever pillowcase using a single piece of plush fabric. You'll want to snuggle up with it every night!
- 1-1/4 yards blue print plush
- 20x50" body pillow insert
For tips on working with plush fabric, see our how-to guide.
Finished pillowcase: 20x55" (fits a standard body pillow)
Yardages and cutting are based on 58" of usable fabric width. Measurements include 1/2" seam allowances. Sew with right sides together unless otherwise stated.
Cut Fabric:
From blue print plush, cut:
- 1—41x58" rectangle
Assemble Pillowcase:
1. Fold the blue print plush 41x58" rectangle in half with right sides (printed sides) together to make a 20-1/2x58" rectangle. Pin together long edges and one set of short edges.
2. Sew together along pinned edges, pivoting at corner, to make pillowcase body.
Tip: We used a piece of plush fabric as a leader strip, so we started sewing smoothly before we got to the pillowcase fabric. Clip the leader strip off when you've finished sewing the edges.
3. Clip corners just inside seam allowance. Turn to right side. Use a chopstick or eraser end of a pencil to gently push out corners.
4. Turn under unsewn edge of pillowcase body 2-1/2" to inside; finger press and pin.
5. Stitch turn-under in place using left side of presser foot as a guide (sewing about 3/8" from cut edge of turn-under).
6. Stitch again about 3/8" from first row of stitching to complete pillowcase.
7. Insert body pillow into pillowcase.
Tip: Leave plastic bag or wrapping on pillow insert while slipping inside pillowcase, then remove.

Cha Cha Changes
There's a familiar refrain that sums up the thought process that permeates the thinking of many company owners and senior managers.
It's the idea that when things are good, they'll remain good. But when things are bad, they'll soon change and become good again.
Yet, when that thought process is evidenced by the owner or senior manager of a company, the company is at the greatest risk of ultimate failure.
We were reminded of that refrain and the reality recently when we had the opportunity to meet with the CEO of a closely held family owned manufacturing company. The business had been a leader in its industry, but recently a large offshore competitor had been making significant investment in new products and in marketing in the U.S.
As a result the company was both losing market share and becoming unprofitable. The CEO believed that he understood what needed to be done, but his plan called for investment in new products and marketing. The family owners believed that everything would once again be "fine over time", but were mostly driven by the fact that the investment necessary would reduce the "dividend" that they were currently receiving from the company.
As we explored the nature of the "dividend" a couple of key issues surfaced:
1. The company has a working capital line of credit that is coming due for renewal. The loan, while current on payments is not in compliance with several of the loan covenants. The company's balance sheet would currently not support the line of credit.
2. The "dividends", which most of us would view as coming from the profits of the company are actually coming from drawing down the line of credit. Available working capital is reduced making the competitive situation worse on an ongoing basis.
Despite these facts and the expressed concerns of the CEO who is responsible for the company on a day to day basis, …
" … the owner and members of his family believe that …the line of credit will easily be renewed since "we've been a good customer of the bank."
We often read about companies reporting substantial profits yet reducing payroll and other expenses. It seems counter intuitive. If things are good, why impose the strain of reorganization on management and employees. But this is exactly the time to consider all of the possibilities of the future and make the changes necessary to meet the challenges of that future.
"Profits create the ability to make choices."
And making the choices necessary to face the future is exactly the role of senior management, boards of directors and owners.
Obviously the reason to own and/ or operate a business is to be able to take money from the business for yourself and your family. It's widely recognized that the fiduciary responsibility of management is to the owners or shareholders. However, if a company reaches the point where it is unable to "meet its financial obligations as they become due", that duty switches from the owners or shareholders to the creditors.
In privately held companies with limited ownership, this concept, which is recognized by both state and federal courts, is not well known by company owners.
In thinking about the company in question, a reasonable question would be: What happens to the company if the line of credit is not renewed? When that question was raised by the CEO, the owner and family members characterized it as "negative thinking."
Consider the risk: A total loss of the dividend that they are so anxious to protect. Or, should the business reach a point where it cannot actually support the required loan payments; the possibility of a personal guarantee by the owner being called on leading to a significant reduction or the loss of personal assets. These risks are one negative banking decision from being realized.
Negative thinking or good planning?
It's a question that everyone who owns or operates a business should be asking themselves on a constant basis.

Do We Laugh So We Don't Kill?
Posted by Frank J. at 01:36 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (35)
Sometime I like to take a break from telling you all what to think to tell you why you think that (Short Answer: Because I told you too). Now, some unwary liberals have stumbled onto conservative humor on some t-shirts from ThoseShirts.com and were quite shocked and appalled by what they saw. Digby feared that our humor meant we mean his ilk real harm, while maha says that this just follows a long line of violent conservative humor rooted in hostility.
She also says there is no such liberal equivalent.
Yeah, yeah; calm down. It's just like the "there's no liberal media" types who basically have King Kong trashing their living room but claim not to be able to see a monkey. But doesn't such obtuseness bring up some hostile feeling in you? Maybe there is a point about right-wing hostility in humor, as, if you look at it, there are a lot of factors out there that can be pushing conservatives like me to a very hostile disposition which I could possibly be reflecting in my humor.
* We were able to steal two Presidential election, but unable to rig Presidential approval polls.
* Confusion resulting from that we hate women and minorities, yet love Condoleezza Rice's warmongering and the punditry of Michelle Malkin.
* Our neo-nazi tendencies push us to anti-Semitism, but we're also working on Zionist conspiracies to fight wars solely to benefit Israel.
* Walker: Texas Ranger was canceled years ago.
* Illegal immigrants are stealing our jobs (personally, I have tons of bills to pay for my college education in electrical engineering, so how can I compete with Pedro hanging out by the Radio Shack who will design custom Power-On Reset circuits for $2.00 an hour?).
* We got Halliburton the illegal wars it wanted, but it's yet to deliver on the cheap oil.
All of that combined can lead to quite a bit of hostility, and, subconsciously, that could seep into our humor, our jokes revealing our violent intentions. How can we tell, though?
Obviously, Digby and maha lack any sort of science background to definitively detect latent hostility hiding in humor. Luckily, you have me, and there is no one more scientifical than Frank J.
Now, I contacted the humor department at Carnegie Mellon University (it's an actual university; Google it), and they happen to have specific studies on hostility in humor. It is essential to note that humor is hostile by nature. While it feels good to laugh at something, it feels horrible to be laughed at. Studies have shown that being laughed at activates the same centers of the brain as when one is threatened with a gun (That particular study was done by having some people connected to a brain monitor and then having the entire staff come in the room and laugh at the people for how dumb they looked with all that equipment attached to them. The other test case had people connected to the brain monitor and told they were going to view a series of pictures, but instead Samuel L. Jackson runs into a room, points a gun at the subject, and recites a stylized version of Ezekiel 25:17. The control case had people connected to the brain monitor and just forgotten about until they got angry and left.).
To measure hostility in humor, the Franken Scale is used. It's a linear scale for signifying the amount of latent hostility in a joke and ranges from 1 (no hostility) to 10 ("My name is Ted Rall."). Before we use the Franken Scale on the right-wing humor in question, let's use it on some simple examples so you can familiarize yourself with it. First, let's start with a joke common among many children:
Q. Why did the chicken cross the road?
The intent of this joke is to cause the person told to over think what is a simple matter by misdirection through the superfluous mention of a chicken. The humor, thus, is at the expense of the listener to the joke (when measuring hostility, it's important to be sure where the hostility in the joke is directed). Basically, the message of the joke is that you are so stupid you don't know the basic concept of why one crosses a road. That's a somewhat hostile commentary on one's intelligence, but it doesn't directly mean the teller of the joke intends violence in addition to contempt. Thus, this scores a 3 on the Franken scale.
Now, let's look at another common childhood joke:
"Knock knock."
Now this joke is directed at Vice President Cheney. While it does involve a shotgun blast, that itself is not a marker of hostility (we're concerned if the teller is actually contemplating violence himself, not just talking about it). What the joke is saying is that VP Cheney is so unstable that he'll blast you in the face with a shotgun at the drop of a hat. Someone that unstable would obviously need to be locked away if not shot himself, thus this implies a fair amount of hostility at our VP and gets a 5 on the Franken Scale.
For the next joke, let's use a variation of the first that my father came up with:
Q. Why did the chicken cross the road?
Of course, the joke here is at the expense of the filthy, vermin raccoons you always see dead at the side of the road after they became a temporary speed bump. The humor expresses glee at their ignominious demise, but, since it's directed at raccoons, this doesn't count as real hostility and thus this joke rates a 1 on the Franken Scale.
As one last example, let's look at another common childhood joke:
Q. What's black and white and red all over?
Again, this joke is at the expense of who is listening to it. The humor comes from misdirection, getting the listener to think of the color "red" instead of the verb "read." Thus, the message is, "I can control your thinking, you simple piece of @#$%. I can mind-@#$% you in ways you can't even imagine!" Still, it's really just a pun, and would rank a 2 on the Franken Scale except that it's Hitler's favorite joke which bumps it up to a 7.
Now that you understand the Franken Scale, let's analyze the t-shirts that the liberals found to be hostile. We'll start with this new shirt from Emperor Darth Misha I:
There is only one joke here using a common phrase ("some assembly required") to whimsically advocate lynching journalists. Now, on the surface, this is very hostile, but, is it latently hostile - does the one making this remark really wish to kill? Well, since it is a joke, that means the idea of actually killing journalists is so extreme it's funny. What is more likely that the joker only dislikes journalist enough to harm them in a lesser way (perhaps a punch to the groin) and then engages in hyperbole to get a laugh. This is clearly a 4 on the Franken Scale.
Now let's look at the other shirt that was designed by me, the Know Thy Enemy: Liberals shirt that is unfortunately out of print:
Before we get to the individual items, let's look at the hostility of the shirt as a whole. It states that liberals are "enemies" which could be hostile unless the items show that to be completely in jest. Also, the humor items are very non-hostilely bullet-pointed so everyone knows where each joke begins and ends. A problem with many liberals is not understanding what is a joke, which especially happens with things like my editorials where not every statement is meant to be humorous. The bulleted joke system is much more accommodating and non-hostile in nature.
On to the bulleted jokes:
* The main diet of the liberal is tofu and granola. This makes them puny and easy to throw.
Throwing someone is an extreme dominance behavior. The message sent when you throw someone is, "I'm big enough to throw you." Next time your dog acts up, try throwing him. He will be much more compliant now that you've asserted such dominance.
Asserting dominance is not hostility, though. In fact, it's quite the opposite. One asserts dominance so that one may control a person and move him in a safer direction. So, while throwing by itself is quite hostile, the act of throwing is a caring gesture in this context. This joke thus ranks a 4 on the Franken Scale.
* Liberals will try to entice you with their twisted logic. Counter with a bitch slap.
Now, it's important to note the words used. A slap, even if it's a bitch-slap, suggests slight pain without harm. Here, it is implied to be a corrective measure. While inflicting pain is hostile, wanting to correct someone is caring. This ranks a 2 on the Franken Scale.
* Hanging a picture of Ronald Reagan over your door will keep liberals from entering.
This one is important, so pay attention. While nothing in the joke itself is of a hostile nature (I'd hardly consider hammering in a nail to hang a picture 'hostile'), the latent hostility underlying this joke is extreme. Ronald Reagan was a great man who ended the Cold War. Anyone who would be scared of Reagan would have to be a terrible fiend - hideous and almost inhuman. This sort of joke would clearly justifies killing liberals by painting them as such wretches, and thus it is a 9 on the Franken Scale.
* Liberals are against nuclear weapons but have yet to suggest a soy-based substitute that can obliterate cities.
This joke simply implies that liberals are too stupid to understand the importance of nuclear weapons. Implying stupidity always means a bit of hostility, so this gets a 3 on the Franken Scale.
* If you see a fuel-efficient car, it's probably being driven by a liberal. Run it off the road with your SUV.
Again, ignore the conspicuously stated act of violence (running a car off the road) and look what lies beneath. Saying someone drives a fuel-efficient car is a direct swipe at a person's manhood. That's demeaning, but no real hostility or violence comes along with that. The act of driving the car off the road in this context is again a corrective measure and limits the hostility. This is a 2 on the Franken Scale.
* Liberals are constantly inflaming the culture war. They seem to forget which side has all the guns.
A joke about someone's forgetfulness is as bland as they come, and saying someone is forgetful by no stretch implies a person should be harmed. This is clearly a 1 on the Franken Scale.
* The most dangerous predator of liberals is the real world. They hide from it in college campuses.
This, admittedly, is simply and observation and not a joke. Thus, the Franken Scale doesn't even apply.
* Inspired by rhyming slogans and giant puppets, liberals sometimes congregate into groups known as "protests." The purpose of these is unknown.
Here it is implied that liberals engage in strange, foreign behavior. This is extremely hostile in nature as it's perfectly legal and reasonable to shoot foreigners. This is a 7 on the Franken Scale.
And lastly:
* Liberals are always whining about tolerance, but when I punch them for that, they get moody. Hey, be tolerant!
This joke uses a "punch" instead of a "slap" as in the earlier joke, and a punch implies pain with some minor injury. Still, the punch is desired to correct whiny behavior, so the joke again shows caring towards liberals. On the other hand, it ends with an exclamation point, and those are hostile. This gets a 3 on the Franken Scale.
So, at least looking at these shirts, right-wing humor can involve some hostility. Perhaps, in the future, I and others should use more analysis using the Franken Scale to make sure our jokes do not incite violence.
For our next exercise, I'll need someone to find some humor from a liberal blog to analyze. The humor item should be a bulleted or numbered list for two reasons:
1. As stated before, bullets or numbers tell me where each joke begins and ends so I don't have to figure that out for myself.
Until the next lecture: Be honorable, ronin.

What starts with S and everyone loves it? Yes you are right, SUMMER!
Personally, I am in love with summer. I get to spend the whole weekend tanning, diving in the pool and eating watermelons! Watermelon is such a refreshing snack especially on hot days. Now, they have gone from our plates and beach coolers to eyes and lips and let me tell you that they look pretty dope.
I mean, cmon! Doesn't this make-up look so delicious?
Okay now, hands down this pink shading looks a lot like watermelon. I have absolutely no idea how to achieve that but damn!
I'm not going to ask questions, just adore it.

"Watermelon is my absolute favorite fruit. I can finish a whole watermelon by myself, so my little sister suggested that I should do a makeup look based on it, and I loved the idea," Norwegian makeup artist Ragnhild Skjeldnes said.
Well I don't blame her!

Wow, ladies do you agree with me when I call this art? I mean look at the contrast on the rind, that's some Pablo Picasso artwork there. Beyond flawless!
Source: Instagram | @nasiabelli
Even though these lips don't look very practical, they are ultra-juicy. They are so glossy and it looks like it's dripping from the lips, Kylie-style.

Replace the boring old black dots with black sequins to add more drama. There's a heavy coat of gloss too but I just can't hate them. Amazing!

If you are willing to be as extra as humanly possible, go for black sequin seeds and green sequin rind.

My daughter has this electronic toy turtle (given to her by my MIL, of course) that drives me crazy. The turtle has numbered buttons in different shapes and when you press them it says the number and the shape.
It also has a music button, when pressed it sings a song. Seems innocent enough right? Nooooo!
When the music button is pressed on that damn turtle, this lady who sounds like she just inhaled a tank of helium and drank too much expresso sings "Counting, counting, counting is such fun. Count with me, let's start with number 1….".
The speaking voice is equally obnoxious. I don't know where these companies get the people to sing for their toys but the madness needs to stop! Ahem.
Guess which button my daughter likes to press over and over and over again. I'll give you a hint…counting, counting…
I've tried to hide this toy* but really I just want to throw it out of the window. Actually I'd rather let a hammer say hello and have it count how many times it smashes this toy. Now that would be music to my ears.
*My hubby finds it amusing that this toy drives me crazy. When I hide it, he'll find it and put it back in our daughter's toy box. I think he would enjoy a serenade from this turtle sometime in the middle of the night.
