Based on the popularity of the CASK CORNER at The Fourth Annual Big Tap In Boardman, Ohio – we were inspired to host another event in 2013 focused on FIRKINS! When we found ourselves brainstorming about the details of the event, it made sense to combine great cask beer with the spirit of the Oktoberfest and fall harvest season! As September 21 is the first day of Oktoberfest in Munich Germany, this day seemed to be the perfect day to host Boardman, Ohio's octoBREWfest! As September 21, 2013 is the official last day of summer, we will need to not only celebrate Oktoberfest, we need to celebrate FALL! So, the creative minds behind octoBREWfest 2013 decided to coin the event a FIRKIN, FRANKFURTERS, FARMER'S FOOD and FALL SEASONALS! The event will be INDOORS at the Shepherd Event Center in Boardman, Ohio on Saturday, September 21, 2013. This event benefits Making Kids Count, a non-profit local 501(c)(3) that makes the lives of children in our valley a little brighter.
Hmmm…so what can you expect with your octoBREWfest 2013 ticket?
1. Firkins – many firkins (we will keep a ticker on the website so that you will know how many we secure as we get commitment from breweries)
2. Frankfurters – we will have a variety of frankfurters for you tasting pleasure at octoBREWfest 2013 – including organic!
3. Farmer's Food – Fall harvest will be in full swing during octoBREWfest 2013. At this unique event, you will be sampling locally sourced fall harvest foods. Our primary food vendor for this event will be Youngstown based event company, The Sprouted Table!

Klondike Kates
She had beauty, charm and a man who "done her wrong." She was Kathleen Rockwell, and she made her way across the mountains to Dawson City and gold fields around the Yukon and Klondike Rivers, just as many others did during the Gold Rush of 1898.
When the St. Paul Winter Carnival began, Klondike Kate could easily have been the first to entertain at the Casino. Although it is not known exactly when Carnival began hiring entertainers, it is know that the last entertainer hired was in 1961, and she was known as "Klondike Kate."
In the early seventies and even into the eighties, the reigning Klondike Kate performed alone. But as years went by, the character of Kate became so flamboyant and dynamic that she became more and more in demand. It then became a group effort so that many more of the requested demands for appearances could be fulfilled. Former Klondike Kates who are members of the Royal Order of Klondike Kates perform along with the new Kate and create memories of the Gold Rush era in our country.
Today, the members of the Royal Order of the Klondike Kates make over 100 appearances a year.
They are a "sisterhood" of women who love to perform and, by their very presence, provide an open-armed welcome to St. Paul visitors and locals, alike.

South Africa Probes Attempt On Exiled Rwandan General
Nyamwasa was rushed to a hospital. His two children, who are in South Africa on holiday, were in the house when their father was attacked.
[Global: Africa]
The suspect was arrested in the early hours of yesterday morning and taken to a Johannesburg police station for questioning.
Sources close to the investigation said the arrested man is a former member of the Rwandan army and worked under Nyamwasa for a number of years. Nyamwasa was shot in the stomach in the driveway of his home when he returned from a shopping trip with his wife, Rosette, on Saturday morning.
He is in a stable condition at the Morningside Clinic, in northern Johannesburg.
Rosette has blamed Rwandan president Paul Kagame for the shooting. Kagame and Nyamwasa were close associates until a dispute early this year.
The police could not confirm yesterday that the man in custody had links to the Rwandan government. Insiders say the suspect has had a long working relationship with Nyamwasa. "The families of the alleged shooter and of Nyamwasa lived together in exile," said one.
The man in police custody is still being questioned. "He must be released after 48 hours, according to the Constitution, if he is not linked to the crime," the police said.
Police are still searching for a second suspect in the shooting. Gauteng police spokesman Brig Govindsamy Mariemuthoo refused to confirm the arrest. "I cannot confirm or deny the arrest. We are still investigating the motive and if there is an arrest it would form part of the investigations," said Mariemuthoo.
The Times has established that Nyamwasa was being driven in a black BMWX3 with his wife from the Blue Bird shopping centre when a man, on foot, followed their car into their Athol Mews complex.
The man, who was wearing a red T-shirt, struck the driver's side window, screaming "Stop, stop, stop". Security personnel at the complex tried to prevent the man from entering the complex but he ignored them.
The driver opened the window half way but continued driving.
"The man clung onto the window while the car was moving. He then pulled out a firearm, cocked it and fired a single shot at Nyamwasa," said an insider. The man, who is believed to have been in the company of an accomplice, was seen fleeing on foot. Security guards at the complex are believed to have run for cover during the shooting.
Nyamwasa was rushed to a hospital. His two children, who are in South Africa on holiday, were in the house when their father was attacked. Police found one round of live ammunition as well as a cartridge case at the scene. An attempted murder docket has been opened.
The police have asked for surveillance camera film from the shopping centre to establish whether the couple were followed.
Fingerprints were taken from Nyamwasa's car and police are expecting results soon. Police sources appear to agree with Nyamwasa's wife that the shooting was politically motivated.
"How can you conclude that this was a robbery when nothing was taken?" said one officer. Rosette Nyamwasa was quoted as saying that she believed the shooter had, after firing the first shot, gone to the passenger side of the car, from where he attempted to fire a second shot - but the gun jammed.
Nyamwasa, an outspoken critic of President Paul Kagame, fled from Kigali with his family in February. The couple were assigned a security guard but he was nowhere to be seen at the time of the attack. "I think it was our government," Rosette reportedly said.
Her husband had accused Kagame of corruption and claimed that the judiciary was compromised. Arrest warrants for Nyamwasa were reportedly issued for his alleged role in the Rwandan genocide.

I have a Flash presentation that launches from a USB stick. It opens in full screen mode, which has a button for the user to toggle between fullscreen mode and back. This works great and I'm happy with it.
However I want to be able to load an FLV player to play a how to video inside the fullscreen player which the user can toggle to full screen and back without taking over the whole stage, and my full screen toggle button.
I know I can set the fullscreen take over to false ie myVideo.fullScreenTakeOver = false; however I still want the video to have the ability to go full screen.
I have developed a bit of a hack, but it's messy and doesn't work with the finesse I was hoping this project would have.
This is my 'hack':
stage.addEventListener(Event.FULLSCREEN,f); function f(e:Event){ if (myVideo.playing == true) { myVideo.fullScreenTakeOver=true; } else { myVideo.fullScreenTakeOver=false; } }
I am using the FLV component in flash. I know I can create my own and make my own fullscreen button but I am not sure how this is going to help me. I've already wasted far too much time trying to figure this out so any advice or even a finger point in the right direction would be much appreciated!
I've made many google searches and read what feels like hundreds of articles and threads but not found an answer to my problem. I have an intermediate knowledge of Action Script 3. Currently this is what my script looks like.
Current Action Script:
stop(); // AllowScale import flash.display.StageScaleMode stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL; // Open in fullscreen fscommand("fullscreen","true"); fscommand("allowscale", "true"); fscommand("maximize", "true"); import flash.display.StageDisplayState; stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN; // Screen Toggle ScreenToggle.setLabel("Full Screen on/off"); ScreenToggle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toggleFullScreen2); function toggleFullScreen2(event:MouseEvent):void { if (this.stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN) this.stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.NORMAL; else this.stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN; this.stage.displayState=StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT; } function onFullScreen(fullScreenEvent:FullScreenEvent):void { var bFullScreen=fullScreenEvent.fullScreen; if (bFullScreen) { } else { } this.textField.text=this.stage.displayState; } stage.addEventListener(Event.FULLSCREEN,f); function f(e:Event){ if (myVideo.playing == true) { myVideo.fullScreenTakeOver=true; } else { myVideo.fullScreenTakeOver=false; } } // Importing the video package import fl.video.*; var myVideo:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback(); myVideo.source = "videos/video2.flv"; myVideo.skin = "SkinOverAllNoCaption.swf"; myVideo.x = 0; myVideo.y = 0; myVideo.width = stage.stageWidth; myVideo.height = stage.stageHeight; myVideo.skinBackgroundAlpha = 0.5; myVideo.skinAutoHide=true; myVideo.skinFadeTime=300; myVideo.skinBackgroundColor = 0x333333; myVideo.autoPlay = false; addChild(myVideo); //Funtions on video when it completes function completeHandler(event:VideoEvent):void { removeChild(myVideo); nextFrame(); } myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
Thanks in advance!


text: RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) - When two police officers tore little Chico from the arms of Elizete Carmona, they said it was for his own good. After all, 71-year-old women aren't meant to live with endangered tufted capuchin monkeys. But the case has upset many in Brazil, and thousands of people have signed an online petition calling on Sao Paulo state environmental officials to return Chico to the only home he's known for the past 37 years. It's illegal to keep wild animals as pets in Brazil, especially those classified as endangered on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's Red List of threatened species, as the tufted capuchin monkey has been. But the Carmona family contends Chico is completely domesticated and might not survive the stress of separation. When the officers came to their house in the city of San Carlos on Saturday, Chico grabbed onto Carmona and hugged her tight, one of the woman's sons, Everaldo Furlan, told the Globo television network. Carmona said she was devastated when he was pulled away. 'I don't know if I will be able to bear it,' she told Globo. 'For me, I've lost a son. They've taken my son away.' Multiple calls to Sao Paulo's environmental police went unanswered on Monday and officials at the Sao Carlos City Hall said they were unable to comment on the case. There was no listing for a Carmona family phone. The Carmonas adopted Chico in 1976, decades before a 1998 law that banned the acquisition and possession of wild animals. Chico was brought from central Brazil by a truck driver, who gave it away after the monkey bit one of his children. 'The father wanted to kill the monkey. His wife intervened and because she liked me, she ended up giving him to me,' Carmona told Globo earlier this year. 'I started taking care of him. He never once bit me.' The cat-sized monkey, with expressive, honey-colored eyes, golden fur and a black Mohawk atop his head, liked to spend most of his waking hours outside in the yard he shared with a pet cat and chicken, relaxing beneath a shady tree or atop a little plywood monkey house. Saturday's removal followed warning letters from state and federal authorities dating back 20 years, Globo's G1 internet portal quotes Carmona as saying, though the family insisted it had been issued special permission to keep Chico. While the life expectancy of capuchin monkeys is around 15 years in the wild, in captivity they have been known to live three times as long. Chico's exact age is not known, but he must be at least 37. Globo said Chico was been taken to an animal protection area around 185 miles (300 kilometers) from the family home in Sao Carlos. The Carmona family still holds out hope of getting Chico back. More than 4,000 people have signed a petition on the website 'Peticao Publica' calling on the environmental police to return Chico according to G1. The website later reported that a veterinary exam at the animal protection center where the monkey is being kept found that Chico is a female, not a male. The animal has been renamed Carla and was said to be glad to be rid of her collar and leash and adapting well to her new environment. The report cites the head of the center as saying the monkey suffered from lesions caused by the collar and atrophied feet from being kept on too short a leash. Due to her advanced age, she will likely not be reintroduced to the wild, but will be kept in an enclosure with other monkeys. .

no such luck, the butterflies went to the teacher's head instead. but eve was glad to have a rainbow skirt "because butterflies really love rainbows. for real. and when they see my rainbow stripes it makes them happy and that's better than dead." so true.

He wore pasties in "Cabaret" and skintight leathers for "The Threepenny Opera." But you'll see even more of Alan Cumming on Thursday, when his bold new "Macbeth" opens the Lincoln Center Festival. The 47-year-old actor plays every role in Shakespeare's Scottish play, in which his Lady Macbeth has "a pretty saucy" scene in a bathtub.
The production met with standing ovations — and a few walkouts — last month in Scotland. "It is not to everyone's taste," conceded The Independent of London, "but even for those who do not enjoy high-concept Shakespeare performed by a coquettish, hairy-legged man in a towel, there is much to enjoy."
We caught up with Cumming last week as he taxied through Glasgow. Here's what he had to say about his role as Eli Gold on "The Good Wife," the Bard and his ugly, nail-puking part in "Sleep No More."
Who decided to make a solo of "Macbeth"?
It was Andy Goldberg, one of the directors. My initial idea was I'd play Macbeth one night and Lady Macbeth the next, and the actress and I would switch off. Andy was at the reading and said, "Why doesn't Alan just do all the parts?" And he had an idea to do it in a [mental] hospital. It's not really a one-man show — there's also a doctor and a nurse. But I play all the parts in "Macbeth."
What's it like being the center of attention for 100 minutes?
Exhausting. Terrifying! I think, if I ever have a lapse in concentration, the whole pack of cards is going to tumble down. Usually, when someone else is speaking, you can cough or fart or what-ever. But here you just can't. There are a couple of bits where I get sedated and lie down for about 30 seconds and it's like, nirvana!
Sounds like a marathon!
I trained in New York for months before I came here to get my stamina up. I worked very hard, and you try to keep that up — I've actually just come from the swimming pool! There's an old-fashioned bath club in the west end of Glasgow, full of old men with bellies sitting in armchairs, reading newspapers. And I'm frantically doing laps in the pool.
Did you see "Sleep No More," that immersive "Macbeth" in a Chelsea warehouse?
I was in it! It was so great! There's this bit where you truss someone up like a mummy. When it happened to me, I thought I was going to get kissed — it was a weird mixture of fear and eroticism. When I told them I loved it, they asked if I wanted to be in it, so I rehearsed that bit for an afternoon and then I did it to all these poor people — trussed them up, then vomited a nail out of my mouth. I really loved it.
TV's "The Good Wife" — is it still good for you?
Yes! I just got the script for the new season yesterday, so that's exciting. It's funny — this play has been such an overwhelming experience, it seems I'm 10,000 miles away from Eli Gold and everyone else. I'm shooting two days on it while I'm at Lincoln Center so I'll be double dipping.
Last season, you had a love scene with Amy Sedaris. . .
Oh my God, that was hilarious! She played my nemesis, and we had this affair. We didn't have to do sex, just post-coital. There was one scene where she had to suck whipped cream off my fingers, which was the most difficult scene ever, because I was helpless with laughter. Then we had to do a scene with Parker Posey, who plays my ex-wife. I called it "the axis of evil," because the two of them are so hysterical.
When you were doing "Threepenny Opera," you told me you considered yourself bisexual because, as you put it, "I find women attractive." You're married now, to a man. Still bisexual?
Oh yes, nothing's changed.
Now that you've played Nightcrawler in "X-Men," are there more action roles in the offing?
Ha! Maybe. I was talking to one of my agents the other day, and said I'd really like to do something easy on my next summer holiday, something utterly frivolous.
Any regrets about bowing out of "Spider-Man" on Broadway?
Um, no! I thought it was going to be really — well, I left long before all the terrible accidents and disputes. It was mostly scheduling, but no, I don't regret it at all!
Wikipedia says you're moving to Scotland.
How funny — no! I have a flat in London and I'm going to buy a place in Edinburgh, mostly because I spend more time there, and I want to vote on the referendum [on Scottish independence]. Some people are saying I'm the new Sean Connery — I don't live in the country but I have all these views! But I think independence is a good idea.
And your new fragrance is called . . .
"The Second Cumming." It's doing well. It's got a leathery, sort of earthy, soil-y smell. I gave it to all the people at "Macbeth," and the lady who puts my scars on loves it. It's sold at I Hate Perfume in Brooklyn. All the money goes to the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission.
Every now and then they get a nice little check, and the world smells better!

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Saturday was heading up a National Day of Service, kicking off a whirlwind weekend of inauguration events that mark the end of his historic first term and the start of his second.
Obama added the day of service projects in 2009 and hopes it will become a tradition for future presidents. He and first lady Michelle Obama planned to volunteer in the Washington area, as did Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill.
The president will be officially sworn in for his second term on Sunday in a small ceremony at the White House. He'll take the oath of office again on Monday before hundreds of thousands of people on the National Mall, followed by the traditional parade and formal balls.
Thousands of workers and volunteers were making final preparations for the celebration. Hotels and government buildings along the parade route were adorned with red, white and blue bunting. White tents, trailers and generators lined the Mall.
Yet there is decidedly less energy surrounding Obama's second inauguration than there was in 2009. That history-making event drew 1.8 million people for the swearing-in of the nation's first black president.
This time, Obama takes the oath of office following a bruising presidential campaign and four years of partisan fighting. He's more experienced in the ways of Washington. He has the gray hair and lower approval ratings to show for it.
For at least the inauguration weekend, the fiscal fights and legislative wrangling will be put aside in favor of pomp and circumstance.
The White House did not say in advance what Obama's service project would be. In 2009, he helped spruce up a shelter for homeless teens in one of Washington's porter neighborhoods then visited wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
In an effort to expand the day of service, former first daughter Chelsea Clinton was headlining a volunteer summit on the Mall. The inaugural committee organized volunteer events in all 50 states.
The White House sees the call to service as a way for Americans across the country to honor the memory of Martin Luther King Jr. The day Obama takes the oath of office publicly marks King's birthday, and 2013 is the 50th anniversary of the civil rights leader's March on Washington.
Also Saturday, Michelle Obama and Jill Biden were hosting the Kids' Inaugural Concert, an evening event paying special tribute to military spouses and children.
The crowds pouring into Washington were expected to be far smaller than they were four years ago, and there will be fewer inaugural balls for the president and first lady to attend. Still, Obama's swearing-in at the Capitol is expected to draw up to 800,000 people, which would make it the largest second ever.
The president was still working on his inaugural address heading into the weekend. He isn't expected to delve deeply into the policy objectives he'll tackle in a second term, but the tone and theme of the speech will set the stage for the policy fights to come.
Aides said he will make the point that while the nation's political system doesn't require politicians to resolve all of their differences, it does require Washington to act on issues where there is common ground. He will speak about how the nation's core principles can still guide a country that has changed immensely since its founding.
Temperatures were forecast to fall throughout the weekend and be in the 30s on Monday when the crowds gather along the parade route that will take Obama from Capitol Hill to the White House.
Despite scaling back on some of the revelry, the inauguration will be a star-studded affair. Top acts including Beyonce, Katy Perry and Brad Paisley have signed on to perform at the weekend's events.
The inauguration also is bringing thousands of Obama campaign staffers and donors to Washington, with many getting invitations for tours and other events at the White House. On Friday, the president and first lady held two private events for donors who helped finance his 2012 campaign.
Inauguration weekend kicks off with day of service

Form Validation In Table?Jul 1, 2010
What I am trying to do is have a form in a table validate in the same order as the tab order. The form is in a table with three columns. There are a few fields in each column below each other. They are not in separate cells. (Spacing issues when they are in their own cells.) Validation is working correctly, however when it is validating, it validates column by column, not by "row."
Can anyone help me get it to validate in the correct order?
Here is the JavaScript form validator and here is the form with the calls to the script to validate:

PersonalityType.com is website that is owned and operated by Paul Tieger, author of Do What You Are (a Career guide linking career satisfaction and personality type - with over 1M copies sold). Users who go to PersonalityType.com, can do a quick, and free personality type assessment to determine their type (1/16 types). From there, they are directed to purchase a report that will help them to discover their perfect career.
We are looking to turn PersonalityType.com into a brand that will help individuals (20-50) to learn more about their individual personality type. It is our belief that knowing your type–and learning about the personality types of those around you–can make you happier and more successful in every aspect of your life. Currently we are applying personality type to careers, relationships, and child rearing. Over time we will apply it to other categories as well so we don't want the logo to be career specific per se. We also want a design that can be 'Powered by'. We will be licensing our personality type assessment to other sites. The logo that will appear will be PersonalityType.com, but we also will want one a versin that is smaller that says 'Powered By PersonalityType.com'
- Logo must include .com (PersonalityType.com)
- Prefer for Personality and Type to be different colors
- We like Blue
- Accent colors are fine
- No shadows (like current logo)
- A key component of personality type is that everyone is different (you are one of 16 types). We want the logo to feel like we as a company are unique/customized to each individual
- We are open on other elements and are looking for a range of options
- No shadows
- Not looking for pastels/other bright colors - we like blue as a primary color

Frank McCourt has big plans for the Dodgers brand. Try a football stadium, couple of cable channels, expansion to China, and — because it's worked so well for American owners — a Premier League team.
The latest filing in Jamie McCourt's divorce case reveals some interesting things about the man who runs the Dodgers (for example, she's asking for $1 million per month in support, and that still wouldn't affect his lifestyle). But if Frank McCourt has his way, it won't just be the Dodgers in his portfolio.
Team revenues have doubled since McCourt took over in 2004, but he's not content to sit on that money. He wants to build an NFL stadium in Dodger Stadium's parking lot, and to get the city to change zoning restrictions to allow mixed-use developments (read: a mall).
Seeing the cash cows that the Yankees, Mets and Red Sox have created with their own TV networks, he wants to create English- and Spanish-language cable channels, devoted solely to the Dodgers and other properties.
What other properties, you ask? Well, last year, McCourt entered talks with a Chinese firm to purchase a Beijing soccer team and, eventually, a Premier League club. (Portsmouth Dodgers, anyone?) Perhaps he should talk to Tom Hicks and Malcolm Glazer to see if they're regretting their impulse buys.
Of course, none of this will go down if Jamie McCourt successfully takes him for half his worth. Then, he'd barely be able to keep up payments on Manny Ramirez's Wiggles DVD subscription.

Lightning-speed growth in the industry in the past year has created an oversupply of solar energy, meaning panel owners, including many MetroWest residents, may not get nearly as much payback on their investments in solar systems, and not nearly as quickly.
You can't see the sprawling array of solar panels in Southborough as you whiz past it on Rte. 9, but at 1-megawatt capacity, that system is one of the largest in the state.
And those panels, which started soaking up sun this summer, along with about 3,000 other projects in Massachusetts, fuel one of the nation's most lucrative solar economies.
But lightning-speed growth in the industry in the past year has created an oversupply of solar energy, meaning panel owners, including many MetroWest residents, may not get nearly as much payback on their investments in solar systems, and not nearly as quickly.
Home and business owners across the state, prompted by an eager mob of solar developers, for the past three years have been buying or leasing roof- or ground-mounted solar systems that give them electricity cheapened by a host of state and federal incentives.
One incentive is solar renewable energy credits, or SRECs, which panel owners sell to utility companies. But too many SRECs in the market, coupled with a lack of demand, means the price of each SREC has plummeted from around $550 this summer to $200 this month.
Homeowners who planned to quickly recoup the cost of a solar system, often $30,000 or more, by selling several thousand dollars in SRECs each year may need to think again.
In addition, solar companies that lease systems to homeowners and rely on SRECs to make their own profit, could also take a solid hit.
"What is impacting us the most is just uncertainty and confusion about what SREC values really are and when you get paid for them," said Michelle Waldgeir, spokeswoman for Astrum Solar.
The Maryland company has nearly 200 projects in Massachusetts, according to a state database of all solar projects.
And while state officials call oversupply proof of solar's enormous success, they are adjusting the incentive system to make sure Massachusetts is still a cost-effective place to do business on the sun.
"Time is upon us now to start working … to start developing what the next phase of this program will look like," said Dwayne Breger, the director of renewable and alternative energy development for the Department of Energy Resources.
The generous but complex set of perks for solar projects in the Bay State is so good out-of-state companies scrambled to set up shop here. There has also been a groundswell of new local companies, especially since the SREC program began three years ago.
But solar developers say the new uncertainty may prompt out-of-state developers to re-evaluate their strategies or move elsewhere. Smaller, local companies might not be able to survive.
"There's no doubt that there's a supply-demand imbalance right now," said Carrie Cullen Hitt, vice president of state affairs at the Solar Energies Industries Association. "The question is how do you fix it."
Some liken the Massachusetts situation to that of New Jersey, where the solar market all but collapsed last year when SREC prices plummeted. But others say the Massachusetts system was crafted to withstand fluctuation.
"The overabundance issue is really a timing issue," Waldgeir, of Astrum Solar, said.
To sell SRECs, panel owners have two choices. They can sell them in the market at whatever rate the utility company will pay or wait until a state-run auction where they will get a higher price, at least $285 per credit.
The next state auction, which was designed as a last-resort, is scheduled for July 2013. While many solar companies said they want to wait for the auction, others need cash now.
"If you'd rather take the money now…then you sell them sooner but the power companies won't buy them sooner unless they can get them at a discount," said Mark Durrenberger, president of New England Clean Energy in Hudson.
Since the start of the Solar Carve-Out program three years ago, the industry has burgeoned. There were 37 solar projects statewide in the first quarter of 2010. That number grew to 640 a year later and 2,208 at the end of first quarter this year.
Craig Huntley, principal of Solect Energy in Hopkinton, said he now cautions his customers about how much revenue they will get from SRECs and when they will get paid.
"We commonly have called it the Wild West," Huntley said. "The rules are being changed as we go."
But he said the state is helpful explaining the program. The biggest impact of the uncertainty, he said, is greater difficulty getting loans.
"Financing is already difficult and having a low SREC value makes it even more difficult," said Bob Knowles, co-owner of solar company Renewable Energy Massachusetts of Cambridge.
In some solar contracts the SREC payment goes to the homeowner and in others it stays with the developer. In both cases, homeowners still benefit from a lower energy rate as well as other state and federal incentives.
Waldgeir said homeowners buying panels now won't likely get paid for their SRECs until 2014, and even then the payment won't be the $500 per SREC customers in some cases were expecting.
"Our biggest challenge is folks wanting to own (panels) because they think they're worth a lot, and worth a lot in the short term," she said.
Still, the recent flux so far hasn't hurt the Bay State's prominence as a state with a healthy green energy economy. It was ranked eighth in the country by the Solar Energy Industry Association for the number of megawatts of installed solar projects in the second quarter of 2012.
A report released this year from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center said the clean energy industry employs 71,000 people and nearly 5,000 firms.
The state has a goal of creating 400 megawatts of solar by 2017. In less than three years, 120 megawatts has already been created.
Breger of the state energy office said officials always expected fluctuation in the number of SRECs. He said the credits should start selling more rapidly later this year.
"It's not, to the Department of Energy Resource's perspective, a signal that the program is not working," Breger said.
But in the meantime, the agency is working to revamp the formula that determines how much solar electricity utilities must buy, to increase demand. The department has sought input from public comment as part of that process, which is underway this fall.
Breger said there is talk of what type of second program the department might create once the state reaches 400 megawatts.
Meanwhile, some criticize the solar industry's hefty incentives.
Taxpayers are footing the bill for an expensive type of energy that is nonviable without incentives, said Dan Kish, senior vice president for policy at the Institute for Energy Research, a Washington D.C. group that lobbies for free-market energy policy.
"Basically you're telling people that they have to take a bath in Perrier water when tap water is just fine," Kish said.
He argued incentives force taxpayers to foot the bill for the solar industry and result in higher electricity costs for everyone, especially customers who can't afford their own solar system to get cheaper power.
"From a purely economic standpoint, it doesn't make sense because there's no such thing as a free lunch," he said.
But solar companies argue they can't survive without the incentives, and are urging the state to amend the system to drive up SREC prices again.
"There need to be mechanisms in place that protect developers from the value going too low. Otherwise it defeats the purpose of an incentive and it brings clean energy production to a halt in Massachusetts," said Knowles, of Renewable Energy Massachusetts.
Breger said the state's job is to find a delicate balance.
"We want to keep the incentives sweet enough to continue to grow a robust solar market but at the same time as low as possible to protect the ratepayer or whoever's paying the subsidies," he said.

LOS ANGELES – Federal prosecutors said today they will issue their recommendation in July on whether the death penalty should be sought against the 24-year-old suspect accused in the deadly shooting spree at Los Angeles International Airport.
The case against Paul Anthony Ciancia is somewhat similar to the Boston Marathon bombing prosecution in that both murder cases involve one young defendant, Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick R. Fitzgerald told U.S. District Judge Philip S. Gutierrez.
The prosecutor said his office would work toward providing its recommendation to the U.S. Attorney General by July 3 as to a possible death sentence against Ciancia.
The ultimate decision on whether death is an appropriate penalty in the case is up to Attorney General Eric Holder.
Holder has said he will seek the death penalty for 20-year-old Boston bombing suspect Dzokhar Tsarnaev, whose trial will begin Nov. 3.
The final decision in Ciancia's case is likely to come at least three months after the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles makes its recommendation to Holder's office, Fitzgerald said.
Gutierrez said previously that trial would be delayed until that decision had been made. The judge set another status conference for Aug. 11.
Ciancia was brought to court in green jail clothing, shackled at the wrists and ankles. At the request of defense counsel, U.S. marshals unshackled him for the brief hearing.
Although his neck was bandaged at a previous hearing in January, Ciancia was not bandaged today and a small red mark was visible.
Prosecutors indicated the defendant would be brought from the San Bernardino jail medical facility, where he is currently housed, to the federal lockup in downtown Los Angeles in the next few weeks.
Three charges in the 11-count indictment against Ciancia carry the potential for a death sentence: murder of a federal officer, use of a firearm that led to the murder, and act of violence in an international airport, according to Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Ciancia, a Pennsville, N.J., native who had been living in Sun Valley for about two years, is accused of storming into Terminal 3 last Nov. 1 with an assault rifle, killing Transportation Security Administration agent Gerardo Hernandez and wounding three others — two other TSA workers and one traveler.
Ciancia allegedly shot Hernandez at a lower-level LAX passenger check-in station and began walking upstairs, but returned when he realized Hernandez was still alive and shot him again.
In addition to first-degree murder, the indictment charges Ciancia with two counts of attempted murder for the shootings of TSA officers Tony Grigsby and James Speer. Brian Ludmer, a Calabasas teacher, was also wounded.
Ciancia is also charged with committing acts of violence at an international airport, one count of using a firearm to commit murder, and three counts of brandishing and discharging a firearm.
During the shooting spree, Ciancia was allegedly carrying a handwritten, signed note saying he wanted to kill TSA agents and "instill fear in their traitorous minds," along with dozens of rounds of ammunition. Witnesses to the shooting said the gunman asked them whether they worked for the TSA, and if they said no, he moved on.
Ciancia was shot in the head and leg during a gun battle with airport police. He spent more than two weeks at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center before he was moved to the San Bernardino facility.

Donovan named to post in Round Rock
To help prepare tomorrow's doctors for the changing landscape of medical practice and patient care, the Texas A&M Health Science Center (TAMHSC) College of Medicine has named Jim Donovan, M.D., as its first associate dean of clinical integration and practice transformation.
Dr. Donovan will be responsible for integrating the new educational process across clinical rotations and helping prepare students to become leaders in the communities where they will eventually practice.
"The mission of training future physicians, especially in primary care, requires educators to concentrate on medical care as it should be delivered in the future rather than the past experience of its teachers," Dr. Donovan said. "Medicine is in the midst of disruptive change. To be successful, physicians and those in training must master a new and more complex skill set incorporating innovative health care delivery processes, a rediscovery of patient-centeredness and a deep understanding of quality and patient safety. In addition, systems of care must combine and integrate to provide a seamless, transparent and efficient structure dedicated to evidence-based practice."
Ruth Bush, M.D., M.P.H., TAMHSC-College of Medicine Round Rock Campus associate dean for academic affairs, said Dr. Donovan's past experience makes him a perfect fit for the new position.
"Our health care system in America is going to have to undergo major transformation to be sustainable," Dr. Bush said. "We need to train tomorrow's doctors to be leaders in many arenas — clinical, administrative and advocacy — and Dr. Donovan will be playing a key role in developing and conducting these learning opportunities for our students."
Dr. Donovan graduated from The University of Texas with a Bachelor of Arts with honors and received his M.D. at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. He went on to St. David's Hospital in Georgetown, serving as chief of medical staff and later chief medical officer.
"He has the best of both worlds," Dr. Bush said. "He has been an educator and a program director for family practice residency. He has been on the other side of the equation, which is being a CMO of a large hospital. He's worked with everyone from risk management to the general counsel, as well as the people on the ground from the janitorial staff to the physician. This range of experiences has offered him the '30,000-foot view' that provides a clear vision of the future of health care and how to prepare our medical students for it."
David Huffstutler, CEO of St. David's Hospital in Georgetown, said Dr. Donovan was an instrumental part of the leadership team for more than three years.
"He worked closely with the medical and hospital staff to facilitate many of the significant clinical improvements that have occurred there," Huffstutler said, "and he has been a valuable resource to HCA Physician Services as they have aligned with numerous physician practices throughout the area."
Dr. Donovan is looking forward to both the opportunities and challenges in developing tomorrow's doctors at the college.
"We are fortunate to live in a time of great change in health care, and academic medicine and medical education is uniquely poised to be a catalyst in this transformation," Dr. Donovan said. "To do this, we must provide an environment uniquely designed to train physicians for the coming changes. There is no higher calling and no greater potential."

Have questions about this product?
Great fit
Got this for my wife for biking. Said it is very comfortable and doesnât cut into her shoulders.
My wife bought one
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Size Bought: L
- Height: 5'0"
- Weight: 120lbs
My wife picked this up to try. I don't have much to add other than she says every girl knows the bra shopping sucks many brands fit differently and every girl is not the same size. So this is what she had to say. I'm a DD cup and this fit me good. But like others have stated I was not pleased with the strap design either. I will probably not be getting any more of this style bra. It's to bad because it is well made just a bad design in the straps. I think I will have to do what others have done and modifie the straps.
Not functional without alterations
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
- Height: 5'6"
- Weight: 148lbs
As other reviewers stated the strap closure system design is faulty. This product is not functional for its task of supporting my breasts!
In its first wear it was my dream bra come true, but every wear after the straps have come unattached during cycling or even general use (sitting, standing, not overly physical behavior). I washed it according to instructions, and did nothing to otherwise affect the product adversely.
The material and other features are incredible, and if I can successfully alter it with an alternate fastener like those on the front of standard (non sports) bra straps, then I might still order another. This will add to my overall price tag whether a tailor can do this or I do it myself. I do not want to sew it closed as another review mentioned she did successfully, because I appreciate the adjust ability--bodies can change, and quickly, especially for women in childbearing years.
This is otherwise the best bra I've ever worn cycling or otherwise. With a better strap system it might replace every bra I'll ever buy again. SO NEARLY AWESOME! Castelli is an excellent brand, and usually their products have proved to be worthwhile investments for me. I love that they innovate. It seems that no actual woman tested this design before it was put into production. I'm happy to test items like this!
What they said!
This is my first ever negative review.
A bra is only as good as its performance. One of my straps was disconnected right out of the lovely packaging. I did not wear it, but found the strap closures were easily disconnected with a "shake".
A bra in this price range should, at the very least, not "drop" its straps.
Closures are as important to me as materials and fit. I have others that "check" all of those blocks.
This will be a "return" for me.
Agree with your comment exactly, but unfortunately I have not found other bras with this kind of breathable fabric, which is the only reason I'm going to the expense to try alterations on this strap closure myself. Otherwise I'd return it right away. Hope Castelli will improve, and/or Competitive Cyclist can offer other brand options in this ballpark.
Works /looks great but strap issues
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought this bra last year and it works really well for cycling. I also have the light version of this bra and love it too except for the dreaded "mono-breast" look. This bra definitely looks better on. The only problem are the straps since they unhook. (Sometimes during mid-ride much to the amusement of my male cycling buddies!) However, I like this bra so much, I simply took a good ole needle and thread and affixed the straps firmly. Problem solved.
The Missing Link!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I purchased the "cycle bra" out of sheer necessity; mainly pain over my shoulders/neck from traditional jog bras, and as annoying, regular jog bras do not wick away sweat. After a few cold soggy "underwear" rides in dropping temps, I decided to give it a try. It met my expectations and then some. It is ergonomically designed for cycling position, which instantly took away the constant tension over my shoulders, and no more freezing soggy bras that you certainly notice on the descents; it wicks every ounce of moisture away from your skin and the fabric it self remained dry! It was the missing piece to my winter arsenal of riding apparel. I have since ordered a second one. Pretty sure there will be a 3rd and 4th! Yes, that comfy, pricey but worth it! Sizing info given is accurate.
Update on the missing link review: I started out loving this bra for all the reasons I've stated above in my original review, however after putting this bra through the wringer, I have had several "wardrobe malfunctions" w/ it. The straps do not always stay attached to the cup! it seems the closure is just not secure enough for its intended purpose. I would love to order more, but it is truly a pain in the butt to always be concerned that I am popping out! No pun intended!
Agreed on the strap set up?the hook set up on the shoulder straps is really wimpy and just odd. Please just use a regular shoulder adjustment strap like every other bra manufacturer out there. C'mon Castelli, you can do better.

Hi,How much memory does a task take?
The LeOS in oriented to all the range of MCUs or only for 328?
- Attiny2313/4313- Attiny24/44/84 & Attiny25/45/85- Atmega644/1284- Atmega8- Atmega88/168/328 - Atmega640/1280/1281/2560/2561- Atmega32U4 (only at 16 MHz)Supported clocks are 1, 4, 8, and 16 MHz.
Why don't you make a 'task' struct. That would be a more intuitive approach in your library because you would only need one array instead of four or five distinct arrays for each task.
Why don't you allocate the array(s) to dynamic memory so that you can resize it in addTask() (and possibly removeTask()) as necessary.
In your source there are two places where you slide all of the array elements over to fill in a gap (in removeTask() and ISR() interrupt handler when cleaning out one time functions). I recommend you either break the common code out into a common function or just call removeTask() from ISR(). It will make your code easier to read and it will do magical things to your code size.
typedef struct { byte led, status } myLed ;myLed1 = {7, 0} ;myLed2 = {8, 0} ;
myOS.addTask(flashLed, (void *) &myLed1, 600) ; myOs.addtask(flashLed, (void *) &myLed2, 350) ;
void flashLed(void* data) { myLed* led = (myLed *) status ; led->status ^= 1 ; digitalWrite(led->led, led->status) ;}

Zediva is a streaming service that lets you watch new movie releases online. For $2, the company sets aside the new DVD you'd like to see, along with a DVD player, reserved just for you. Your remote control? Your computer, tablet or Google TV. It's a cunning workaround to let you stream these new releases since technically, the physical DVD goes "out of circulation" for the time that you've borrowed it.
The service is $2 a rental, or 10 for $10, and you get to keep each movie for two weeks. Available right now, but we can't guarantee that it will be for much longer. [Zediva via Wired]

SportsFocus necesitaba un nuevo diseño de papelería y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 111 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
We are launching our new company and have just announced the winner of the logo contest on 99 Designs. Our team is looking for help to create a clean set of stationary with the new approved logo that translates our message of a company that focus's on only opportunities in the world of sports, luxury and lifestyle. This new stationary will be our connection to the world and needs to "grab you". We want the designers to take all liberties and show us their best work incorporating the new logo.
Innovative Sports Ventures
We are a venture capital, development and athlete focused company. We have a team of seasoned veterans from the world of venture capital, luxury real estate development and professional athlete management coming together to form this new entity. The stationary needs to be professional, corporate and modern all at the same time. We are looking to create in the suite of stationary: business card, letterhead, standard envelope and "from the desk of" note cards / pads. This will be given to our target audience which are technology companies within the sports sector looking for funding, land owners / developers looking for seasoned consultants and professional athletes needing assistance with their day-to-day lives. The use of the new logo should give the message of strength, power and clarity. Needs to be a bit more corporate than playful but please BE creative.Our target markets are multi-faceted so we need to have a professional / creative look reflected. We will be reviewing entries regularly so expect prompt feedback.
You can find two versions of the logo at;
The logo design winner from 99Designs provided us with his PMS colors so that the blues from the logo can match the blue in the stationary:
The color codes are as follows:
blue = #087EFF
Lt grey = #3F3F3F
Background grey = #2D2D2D
- The most important is a very clean and professional set of stationary that shows off the logo very well
- Focus on a two-sided card. One can be the logo against the dark background the other against the white background ....we are open to either a horizontal or vertical option
- The logo was created so that we immediately out of the gate begin to brand ourselves "iSV" but yet the logo explains what it stands for. So the logo in a pretty good size on one side of the card should work very well. On the other side please use the following info: 1.) Joe Johnson - CEO / Founder 2.) 1234 Somewhere Street 3.) San Francisco, CA 12345 4.) Main: 123.456.7890 5.) Cell: 098.765.4321 6.) Fax: 123.456.7899 7.) Email: email@example.com 8.) Web: http://www.InnovativeSportsVentures.com
- Please feel free to use the Blue dot or the Blue half circle as elements as screen backs, raised, indents, whatever
- Boring, same old, day-to-day office stationary

I never cared one wit about soccer and surely never called it football. The Patriots were football but soccer was not a part of my life until it was, one week ago. I am now in love with that sport and seduced by the nationalistic feeling it engenders.
I usually eschew extreme nationalism and American exceptionalism as they are not part of my repertoire of thought. I reject it for more intellectually careful well thought out politics and reject the often fascistic brutality that is part of the essence of extreme nationalism.
But I caught the FIFA World Cup soccer fever and built my Sunday around a game between the U.S. and Portugal. Portugal tied it in the last second and I thought I got hit by a truck as I watched the American team snatch a defeat-like tie from the hands of victory. I actually cried. I was at first sad and then childlike angry that the USA lost-like tied.
I do not like mindless, uncritical nationalism, the kind where one accepts national behavior no matter who it hurts. I am Nuremberg wary and careful to laud policy I think humane and decry policy I think viciously brutal. But on this day I surprised myself. I cried at the national anthem, I cried at the enthusiastic rooting of the USA supportive crowd and I cried when America tied. It would have been a USA come-from-behind win that was not to be. My disappointment was palpable.
So, is it just a silly game or was it something more? I decided it meant something more. I am tired of America losing; I am tired of the endless national discord, disputed foreign policy and wars that make things worse; that kill so many or maim them for life so that others can buy oil and make the oil barons and their political lackeys very rich. I am tired of America getting kicked in the teeth; I am tired of hearing the curse of other nations when so many have paid so much for policy that was so brutally bad.
I watched the ceremonies during the Normandy remembrance when we were blessed and loved by the nations we lifted up from the jackboot of tyranny; when we saved the masses from a world that went viciously insane. My father, a Republican at heart, loved FDR. It was to be the only thing upon which he and I agreed. Though I never knew that president I loved him too. I went to Hyde Park, and stood at his, Eleanor�s and their dog Fala�s graves and cried. I want an America like that once again. I want us to stand for something and not have to question the veracity of politicos who never served a day in their life sending men and women to their deaths based on lies. I want an FDR again, I want a humane nation again, I want to feel pride about my nation again, which stood then for what was moral, good and right.
I let FIFA World Cup soccer allow me the privilege of fervent nationalism and cheered my country on wanting it to win. I want it to win again and I want other nations to love us again. I want to return to a World War II afterglow when it seemed all things were possible and most everything good was made in America. I want things to be made in America again.
But it felt like we lost today yet again. The FIFA World Cup game was a metaphor allowing me to recapture a patriotism that lies just beneath the surface waiting for the next FDR to free us and the world to love us once more. I want us to win again, one more time, before my own generation comes to its end.
[Editor�s note: A shorter version of this letter ran in print in the MetroWest Daily News and Milford Daily News on June 24.]
Rosen: A soccer game, or something more?
I never cared one wit about soccer and surely never called it football. The Patriots were football but soccer was not a part of my life until it was, one week ago. I am now in love with that sport and seduced by the nationalistic feeling it engenders.

I have an obsession with the recent type of nail polishes that look like sprinkles suspended in a murky jelly base. At first, it was rare to come upon them. However, now they are quite trendy. This is a cutie I got at Icing…
Pink and glitter sprinkles…yes, please!
'So Fierce' is a pink base and lots of pastel hex glitter. Very girly-girl.
It does have a slight bit of texture but, I don't feel that it is as much as the photos convey. This is just 2 coats and it is still somewhat translucent. I did 2 coats as I didn't want to make the appearance look too thick.
Currently, I am staying with my brother, my sister-in-law and niece until I find a place of my own. In the meantime, I am unable to polish my nails, wear perfume or fragrance lotions because of my brother's fragrance sensitivity. So, I haven't been able to change my polish as often as I have in the past. I wore this one for about a week and I didn't mind at all. It's just that pretty.

Today is Individual Time Trial (ITT) day at Road Nationals in Lac Megantic, QC.

The road is a brand new bypass recently build,..3 and 4 lanes of newly paved surface that will be completely closed to all traffic.
There is a strong tail/cross wind on the way out and the climb is small enough that the Elite men will be "big ringing" it.
It is going to be a HOT day!!!
We will do our BEST to do updates, but Rob will be out on course doing photos and cell coverage is spotty.
Canadian Cycling is announcing the Road team for the London Olympics at 1:30 pm, so that too will prevent much in the way of coverage for the first hour of racing.
Hopefully Twitter won't collapse like it did this morning, so check there and here for updates which will be posted as soon as we can.
2:34 pm
Press conference over so now we can get back to RACING
The wind has died down and the temp is 31C
The 2nd wave should be all on the road now and we will try to get an update on who has the best time so far
2:42 pm
2nd wave finishing. Current leader is Zach Bell (Spidertech) 19 sec ahead of teammate Frank Parisien (Spidertech)
David Boily is in the unofficial lead for the U23 category, with a time of 51:13.
4:15 pm
Last rider Svein Tuft is on the road
4:25 pm
3/4 way into the first lap, Svein Tuft is 20 sec up on Hugo Houle, who started 2 min ahead
4:41 pm
1/4 way into lap 2, Tuft 1:40 ahead of Houle
4:43 pm

This isn't new, but with the upcoming onslaught of ESPN tournament coverage, I thought it might be helpful to revisit some of the masturbatory habits of your favorite ESPN analysts. Majerus likes Ashley Judd, and in the absence of Ashley Judd, likes hotel room porno.
Because I, unlike Lewis Black, have the ability to hear that and not actually picture it happening, I can appreciate the coach's candor. But that has to be as far as it goes. You let Majerus get away with that, and the next thing you know, Dick Vitale's talking about the dipsy-doo dunkaroo he'd like to pull off with a Hooters waitress.

It's the hottest topic on Wall Street: What exactly prompted PIMCO CEO Mohamed El-Erian to resign from the bond shop, which was founded by Bill Gross and manages nearly $2 trillion?
El-Erian's move, set to go into effect next month, may have been influenced by a spat, reported in Tuesday's Wall Street Journal, during which Gross supposedly said in front of a dozen colleagues, "I have a 41-year track record of investing excellence. What do you have?"
In response, El-Erian reportedly told Gross, "I'm tired of cleaning up your s—."
Rising tensions between the two, experts say, reflected the climate largely created by Gross.
"The environment was a pressure cooker," said Management Systems Consulting Corp. President Eric Flamholtz, on Bloomberg Television. "I have a lot of respect for Bill Gross, but the environment was a pressure cooker…and was unhealthy."
This sentiment wasn't just found at the top levels, says Flamholtz, who has consulted with PIMCO on human resources matters. "It was an undercurrent theme with almost 100% of the people there," he noted.
"The stress they were under when performance wasn't there …can't be minimized as things [like change in the bond market] unravel," the consultant said.
Of course, this dynamic often goes hand in hand with trading activities, as well as with the building of a highly successful business in general, some observers point out.
"[T]he behavior described is completely typical of any highly successful, high-functioning organization in any field I've ever seen," said Netscape co-founder Marc Andressen on Twitter. "High-functioning business organizations aren't Disneyland. There's always stress, conflict, argument, dissent. Emotion. Drama."
And emotions were very likely to escalate as bond rally came to an end, others point out. "It stops, there were withdrawals, [and] people get testy," said Flamholtz.
The situation may have been compounded, though, by the personality and leadership history of Bill Gross.
As the WSJ reported, Gross allegedly said last summer, "if only Mohamed would let me, I could run all the $2 trillion by myself … I'm Secretariat. Why would you bet on anyone other than Secretariat?"
"He's the founder and autocrat, and his opinions matter most at the end of the day," said former PIMCO Managing Director Bill Powers, in an interview on Bloomberg Television. Such a dynamic creates many "possibilities for tension," Powers noted.
Going forward, though, PIMCO seems to have diffused some of the concentration of power in the upper echelons of the firm. "This sets up a healthy future in which it's hard for two to square off," he said.
As both El-Erian and ex-PIMCO CEO Bill Thompson learned, Gross "will wear [any singular opponent] down," added Powers.
PIMCO's new leadership structure puts three leaders at the top of the business and six deputy chief investment officers in place, he explains. "There are more leaders now, and more power that is delegated."
If there's disagreement, Powers says, it means it won't be one on one. "It's a fairer fight," he said, "and that could mean a healthier future for PIMCO."
Corporate Culture
For Flamholtz, though, there needs to be cultural change throughout the organization in "the way people are treated."
The people who've worked at PIMCO "had a lot of money but were very insecure," he says.
PIMCO, the management consultant adds, is "not any worse than anybody else." Still, for its future, it should "build a strong corporate culture that is an enhancement" to its business.
In four of five areas, PIMCO is already doing quite well, he says: its treatment of clients, its standards of accountability and performance, its openness to innovation and its process orientation and planning.
"Where it's relatively weak is in its treatment of people," which is a very "corrosive process," Flamholtz said.
"You've also lost people. People can take pressure… and then [their ability to do so] stops," he shared. "Not everyone is a Bill Gross and can handle the pressure for 30 or 40 years."
Even horse-racing legend Secretariat eventually had to retire from the race track.

Welcome to Intern Horrors, the weekly feature wherein interns, and the people who use them, shine a light on the worst aspects of internin'. This week: a radio host loses an egg roll, the Pittsburgh Pirates, and a run-in with Warren Sapp.
Remember all that business with WFAN and the shrieking know-it-all staffer who was not identified as Sal Licata but probably was Sal Licata? The one that ended with a defense of crypto-Licata and an ominous reference to an egg roll: "If you want a really good horror story from a WFAN intern, you should try tracking down the kid who ate Mike Francesa's eggroll"? Well, this is that egg roll story, courtesy an anonymous tipster:
There was an intern who was a complete pain in the ass. For example, when Ron Darling was hosting a show, he brought in like 40 things for him to sign even though that is completely against the policy of the newsroom. And when he was told he could have one thing signed, but not everything, he still tried to get Darling to sign everything and pissed him off royally.
So one day the newsroom staff ordered chinese food (which Francesa paid for, contrary to popular belief he's actually a really good guy and treats the staff tremendously). The annoying intern asked if he could have an egg roll that was sitting out and everyone just ignored him. Next commercial break, Mike came out of the studio, looked for his egg roll and said "who the fuck ate my egg roll?" At that point, the 5 or so of us in the newsroom all pointed to the intern completely throwing him under the bus. Mike didn't flip or anything, but if you can imagine a moment of awkward silence, followed by Mike saying ""It's not good kid...not the worst thing in the world...but not good." Mike then went back in the studio, slammed the door shut, and we all burst out laughing while the intern looked like he was going to cry / crap himself. For the rest of his internship, we kind of tortured him about it.
Hot on the heels of the Pirates firing one of their pierogies, we have another anonymous tip about how terrible it is to be a Pittstern:
In the summer of 2006 I was an intern for the Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Operations Department. This was, by all estimates, an amazing internship for a guy who wanted to get into the business side of sports (worked out so well that I am now not in the business side of sports). This team lost 95 games, and was truly atrocious. I have no less than a dozen stories of how inept that franchise is. However, here are two stories that better demonstrate the "intern horror" you have requested:
1) After the MLB draft, I began interning in the video room & helped with video scouting. The video room was connected to the clubhouse & I interacted with the players on a daily basis - which was USUALLY pretty fucking sweet. My unpaid job, for approximately 10 hours a day, was to watch game film and enter info for each pitch (pitcher, hitter, pitch type, location, result, etc..) into a huge database.
"Superstar" Jose Bautista was hitting a robust .220ish - slumping all the way down from about .300ish in the beginning of the year. He came into the video room and was watching film of his previous ABs against whomever the pitcher was. He noticed a pitch was labeled a slider when it was, in fact, a change up. Bautista became convinced this was the reason for his prolonged slump. He began screaming at me about how this one mislabeled pitch was ruining his chances of baseball immortality. Meanwhile, this same pitch was being looped on the TVs and showed Bautista missing the pitch by a solid two feet and damn near falling over. I found this funny. Bautista became more enraged and continued berating me about how bad I was at MY job. So an unpaid intern got chewed out by a career .239 hitter for doing what he has earned millions of dollars doing - having a shitty batting average.
2) A similar events took place inter-league play when the Pirates hosted the Twins. Pirates legend Ian Snell was starting and pitching completely out of character, which is to say, successfully. Snell was facing one of the Twin's generic white power hitters with runners on base when the broadcast showed his stat line. I said something along the lines of "he's pitching well". The next five hitters all get hits in about a 10 pitch span & the Twins come from behind to win. Silence - and angry glares from everyone else in the video room. Apparently, my recognition of Snell's moderate success caused the universe to conspire against the career 38-50 pitcher - forcing him to run out of gas and throw repeatedly hittable pitches to the eventual AL Central champions. First, I got bitched out by my fat boss with bad teeth and a huge penis envy complex of the players he worked around because I "jinxed" Snell's performance. Next, I get bitched out by Snell for the same thing. The next day Snell makes more accusations about how I derailed his inevitable path to Cooperstown & I have had enough. I respond with "its not my fault you hung 3 consecutive breaking balls." I wasnt allowed to work in the video room after that.
Yet another anonymous submission about seeing one of the most dominant NFL players of the last 15 years butt-ass naked:
Earlier in the decade, still in the period of alcoholic bliss known as 'college,' I was working as an intern for a major metropolitan newspaper (that would probably prefer not to have its masthead associated with the topic of intern terrors) and, as a lowly coffee-schlepper, had to work any and every angle just for the bliss and privilege of being allowed to print my drivel in their reputable product. I was regularly, and often immediately, with from stories in the paper's Washington DC bureau where I worked because the paper's office there had most of its bases covered.
So, I instead pitched the sports section of the paper an idea: a piece on the men and women who act as chain crews at football games. Miraculously, it worked! I got to hit up a few games, interview some really fortunate folks, but felt that at this point in time (circa 2003) I needed to include an actual athlete's voice. I decided that man would be none other than Warren Sapp, the most obnoxious SOB in the NFL. So, after a game, I went into the Bucs' locker room with the intent of outright embarrassing myself and setting Warren up for an asshole moment by asking: "Warren, do you ever have any concern for the people on the chain crews when chasing a player out of bounds?"
Naturally, I knew he was essentially going to laugh at me and tell me to fuck off. But, I stood around his locker, waiting for the behemoth lineman to take questions. Finally, after most of the team had emerged from the showers, I (and everyone) hear a lion's roar as the biggest prick on the Bucs emerged from the steam. .... with the smallest prick in the room. Warren whipped off his towel and I almost laughed at him. Charles Haley, this man is not. Never has there been a baby penis like that not attached to an actual baby, or Michael Jackson's tonsils. After that, I had no problem asking Warren the stupidest question he would hear all day, and he had no problem putting me in my place for asking it. Whatever, I thought as I hopped in my car to head home. You're hung like a thimble.
Have you ever been "paid with experience" or tricked someone with that same line? Send in your stories, subject line: Intern Horrors.
