Hello everyone,
This is my first blog post! I decided to make it about something that is very important to me...supporting American-made products by purchasing them over an imported item. I want to be realistic, and I know there are exceptions because with some products we dont have many U.S.-made choices. But when we do have the opportuinty to choose between a U.S.-made versus an imported product, I just want to say a big thank you for those that choose the American-made product!!
Have any of you found that sometimes it is difficult to tell if it is actually made here in the U.S.? We are seeing more of this as well, and we decided to engrave "Made in USA" on as many molded parts as we can. We do make some very small Micro Sprays and Adapters, but if you look close you can find a "USA" on almost all the products we make here in our factory. To be honest, I'm probably a little more fanatical about the "Made in the USA" thing becasue I am a US Olympian and a 5th-generation U.S. citrus grower. So I'll end my first blog with a "cheers to all of you that knowingly purchase American-made products"!

So, I'm considering writing a column, sort of int he vein of the Agony Booth or Jabootu, but in this case it's comic books - reviewing them on a detail-by-detail basis. The problem is that to do so I'll need material to work with.
So, then, what do you guys think are the worst comics ever (by individual issue numbers)?

Mexican sack dance
This is a sexual act usually done by oneself. Ideally, it is done in a desert environment after eating spicy
food yet can be done anywhere. After having a bowel movement, wipe some of the fecal matter over your testicles, then lie outside on your back with legs spread. The fecal matter will attract flies which shall land and 'dance' on your testicles thus causes a tingly or arousing sensation.
After I had some really spicy Mexican food, I wiped the other way once and speared my boys, then lied outside with my legs spread a little. The flies came right away and jumped all over it. They gave me the best Mexican Sack Dance ever.

Learn More About Juvenile Arrests
- Measures of Juvenile Arrests on Kidsdata.org
This topic describes felony arrests for children and youth under age 18. Felony arrests, which are more serious than misdemeanors, tend to involve injury or substantial property loss. Felony crimes include violent offenses (homicide, rape, robbery, assault, and kidnapping), property offenses (burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft, forgery, and arson), drug and alcohol offenses (narcotics, marijuana, other drugs, and driving under the influence), sex offenses, and other offenses (such as weapons offenses, hit-and-run, and vehicular manslaughter). Indicators on kidsdata.org include:
Note: Juvenile felony arrests data do not provide a full picture of youth criminal activity. These data do not include misdemeanor arrests, and the number of arrests can shift as a result of changes in the number of police on the streets, legislative or judicial action to increase or reduce penalties, or trends in prosecutors' charging decisions. Many felony charges also are reduced to misdemeanors or are dismissed in later phases of the court process.

- Why This Topic Is Important
Youth who have contact with the juvenile justice system are at increased risk for a number of negative long-term outcomes—such as injury, substance use and dependency, dropping out of school, and early pregnancy—when compared with the general youth population (1, 2). Youth who have been detained also may face difficulty gaining the educational credentials they need to obtain sustained employment, and may be more likely to engage in criminal behavior as adults (3). Conditions that increase the likelihood of involvement with the juvenile justice system include family poverty, separation from family members including parental incarceration, a history of maltreatment, and exposure to violence in the home and community (2).
Additional risk factors for juvenile criminal activity are substance use or dependency, significant educational challenges, and mental illness (2, 4). Of the youth who enter California's juvenile justice system, an estimated 30% have mental health issues (5). Youth who have been held in detention have higher rates of attempted suicide and psychiatric disorders than youth who have not been detained (3, 4, 6).For more information on juvenile arrests, see kidsdata.org's Research & Links section.

- How Children Are Faring
California's juvenile felony arrest rate declined by 73% between 1998 and 2015, from 19.6 arrests per 1,000 youth ages 10-17 to 5.3. Although all counties with data saw declines during this period, county-level rates vary widely; these ranged from 2.9 to 11.7 per 1,000 in 2015.
In 2015, 34% of juvenile felony arrests in California were for violent offenses, 31% for property offenses, 24% for other offenses (e.g., weapons, hit-and-run), 7% for drug and alcohol offenses, and 3% for sex offenses. Statewide, boys account for the vast majority of juvenile felony arrests—84% in 2015.
Among racial/ethnic groups with data, African American/black youth are arrested for felony offenses at higher rates than their peers in other groups—24 arrests per 1,000 youth in 2015, compared to 5 arrests per 1,000 Hispanic/Latino youth and 3 arrests per 1,000 white youth. In 2015, more than three-quarters of all juvenile felony arrests in California involved youth of color.
- Policy Implications
The juvenile justice system is responsible for protecting communities from crime and delinquency, holding youth offenders accountable, and rehabilitating them. Policymakers within the justice, education, and social services systems can play a role in improving the way society addresses juvenile crime. The process for adjudicating youth offenders often does not have the intended effect on crime control, and it does not consistently take into account the relative public safety risk or circumstances of individual youth (1).
Policy options that could reduce juvenile felonies include:

Also see Policy Implications on kidsdata.org under these topics: Truancy, Suspensions & Expulsions, High School Graduation, School Connectedness, and Gang Involvement.
- Improving systems of care to address the mental health needs of juvenile offenders, from initial screening or assessment at first contact with the juvenile justice system to provision of appropriate treatment to incarcerated youth (1)
- Addressing recidivism by reforming policies that increase the likelihood to re-offend, and providing services that decrease it, such as mentoring, behavioral programs, group counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, and assistance in graduating high school (2, 3)
- Examining and improving existing policies for processing youth offenders through the juvenile justice system; policies should allow for case-specific assessment of an individual's circumstances, the severity of the offense, the public safety risk posed by the youth, and the potential effects of system processing (4)

Harvard will face its first of three straight Hockey East opponents Friday (Photo: Justine Agaloos).
Complete Game Notes (.pdf)
Jimmy Vesey Named to U.S. Junior National Preliminary Roster
The Matchup
After an extended Thanksgiving break, the No. 20/- Harvard men's hockey team is back in action for the first time since Nov. 17 as it takes on Merrimack Friday in a non-conference showdown. The game against the Warriors is the first of three straight games against Hockey East opponents for the Crimson. It is also Harvard's second televised contest in its last three games.
Watch From Home
The Harvard-Merrimack matchup will be broadcast on WBIN-TV. The network reaches nearly 2.5 million viewers in New England. Information about WBIN-TV can be found here.

The Top Plays from November can be seen here.
Harvard vs. Merrimack History
The Crimson and Warriors played their first contest Dec. 23, 2004 in the third-place game of the Dodge Holiday Classic. Goals from Matt Johnson and Scott Drewicki gave Merrimack a 2-0 edge early in the second period, but Dylan Reese '07 brought Harvard within one with 7:28 gone in the second stanza. Mike Fournier and Mike Alexiou scored goals for the Warriors to push the lead to 4-1 in the third and even with goals from Dave Watters '08, Tyler Magura '08 and Andrew Lederman '05, the Crimson took a 6-4 loss. Harvard outshot Merrimack 40-19 in the contest, but the Warriors converted four of their five power plays while keeping the Crimson quiet on its four chances.
The teams met for their second-ever matchup six years later at Bright Hockey Center, and the Warriors scored first on a Brandon Brodhag power-play tally late in the second period. Stephane Da Costa made it 2-0 Merrimack at 8:34 of the third, but Alex Killorn '12 cut the deficit in half with a goal just over a minute later. The Crimson was unable to put home the equalizer in the home stretch of the third and an empty-net goal from Karl Stollery sealed the 3-1 final for the guests.
Scouting The Warriors
Merrimack will be skating in its 15th game of the 2012-13 season and enters the contest with the Crimson with a 5-7-2 overall record. A signature 4-1 victory over No. 5 Union in the season opener was quelled by three straight road losses, including two games in the Alaska Gold Rush tournament. Merrimack rebounded by winning three of its next four, including both ends of a home-and-home with Northeastern Nov. 2-3. Merrimack enters the Harvard game on the heels of a five-game winless streak, but in its most recent game, the Warriors picked up a 2-1 road victory over Providence.
Junior forward Mike Collins has been the sparkplug for the Merrimack offense this season, leading the team in goals (7), assists (10) and points (17) through 14 games. Jordan Heywood and Josh Myers are tied for second with four goals and four assists each, and Dan Kolomatis and Connor Toomey also have eight points each on a pair of goals and six helpers. The Warriors have utilized a two-goalie system so far this season with Rasmus Tirronen and Sam Marotta both logging seven starts in net. The two netminders have identical save percentages (.913) while Tirronen has the slight edge in goals-against average at 2.40, compared to Marotta's 2.71 mark.
Meaningful Month
Freshman forward Jimmy Vesey got off to a stellar start in his first full month of action, earning Hogan Hockey/ECAC Rookie of the Month honors for November. It is Vesey's third league award of the 2012-13 season as he has claimed a pair of rookie of the week honors already this year. The award marks the first time a Harvard player has taken home the honor since sophomore Patrick McNally was named rookie of the month for December 2011.
Vesey led all Harvard players in the month of November with five points on three goals and two assists. He ended the month ranked seventh in the nation and fourth in ECAC Hockey in goals per game (0.71) and he also ranked third in the nation and first in the league in points per game among rookies (1.14). His two unassisted goals against Rensselaer Nov. 10 helped him claim his second rookie of the week award, and he capped his November with an assist in a 4-1 upset of No. 10 Cornell on the road.
National Pride
On the same day he received ECAC Rookie of the Month honors, Jimmy Vesey was also named to the U.S. Junior National preliminary roster. Vesey is one of three representatives from ECAC Hockey to make the preliminary squad.
The 27-player preliminary roster will attend a training camp Dec. 16-18 at the New York Rangers' Madison Square Garden Training Center in Tarrytown, N.Y., with an additional camp being held days later in Helsinki, Finland. The final roster will be comprised of 23 players and will be finalized Dec. 23. The squad is set to compete in the IIHF World Junior Championship Dec. 26, 2012- Jan. 5, 2013 in Ufa, Russia.
Consider It Killed
The Harvard penalty kill unit, which ended the 2011-12 season on a hot streak, has been stellar through seven games this season. With 23 of 25 (92.0%) penalties killed this season, Harvard ranks fourth in the nation and third in the ECAC in penalty killing.
Harvard was equal to the challenge posed by Bentley, killing all five power-play chances the Falcons earned in the game. Harvard also went 3 for 3 against Brown and killed three of four penalties against Yale. Harvard went 3 for 4 on the penalty kill against Union and stopped all three power-play chances against RPI. The Crimson kept the Cornell and Colgate power plays silent in its last weekend of action.
In the quarterfinal series against Yale last season, Harvard killed 17 of 18 penalties, including an 11-for-11 showing in Game 2 of the series. Harvard went on to hold Cornell (0-for-2) and Union (0-for-3) without a power-play goal in the ECAC Tournament semifinal and final rounds. Harvard has killed 45 of its last 48 penalties and held eight of its last ten opponents without a power-play goal, dating back to last season.
Senior Danny Biega, the 120th captain of the Harvard men's hockey team, is a candidate for the 2013 Senior CLASS Award. He is Harvard hockey's second-ever candidate for the award, and first since Brian McCafferty '09 was a candidate in 2009. Biega is one of 20 candidates and the award winner will be selected during the NCAA Frozen Four April 11-13 in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Biega is coming off his most prolific year in Cambridge. In 2011-12, Biega received CCM Hockey first team All-America honors, was a runner-up for ECAC Hockey Player of the Year and was the named the league's Best Defensive Defenseman. He was named to the ECAC Hockey Championship All-Tournament team and All-Ivy League first team and ranked second in the nation in points per game among defensemen (1.03).
Flurry of Firsts
The 4-1 upset victory over No. 10 Cornell featured a number of firsts for the Crimson squad. Mike Seward's game-winning tally was his first of the season, and Petr Placek's goal was his first collegiate score. Greg Gozzo picked up his first collegiate point on an assist and Dan Ford and Conor Morrison registered their first points of the year on an assist each.
Vesey Legacy
Freshman Jimmy Vesey's father Jim Vesey was a highly decorated collegiate hockey player at Merrimack in the late 80's. Jim Vesey is Merrimack's all-time leading scorer, totaling 244 points (110 goals, 134 assists) in 140 career games played. He was a three-time All-American (1986, 1987 and 1988) and a two-time team MVP.
Climbing The Ranks
Junior goalie Raphael Girard has been a key to Harvard's success this year, and his numbers have progressively climbed the national rankings over the first seven games. His two shutouts are tied for fifth in the nation and his .936 save percentage is eighth nationally and first among ECAC goalies. He also ranks 16th nationally with a 2.06 goals-against average.
First of Many
Freshman Brian Hart, a second-round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning, collected his first collegiate goal in Harvard's 4-0 shutout of Rensselaer Nov. 10. Hart is the third player in Harvard's highly-touted freshman class to score a goal this season.
Helping Hand
Sophomore forward Tommy O'Regan has logged an assist in five of his last six games. He recorded the longest point streak of the 2012-13 for the Crimson, notching an assist in five straight contests from Nov. 2 to Nov. 16. The five-game point streak also marks a career long for O'Regan.
Three in a Row
After Jimmy Vesey took home league Rookie of the Week honors Oct. 30, Harvard's first week of action, classmate Kyle Criscuolo (Southampton, N.J.) made it two in a row for the Crimson, earning the honor for the week of Nov. 6. Criscuolo had a pair of goals and an assist and finished +3 in Harvard's ECAC and Ivy opening weekend, as the Crimson captured a 3-2 win over Brown and fell to Yale, 5-1.
Vesey extended the streak to three for Harvard, and two out of three for himself, when he earned Rookie of the Week honors for the week of Nov. 13. Vesey got Harvard on the board in a tough, 6-2, loss to then-No. 8/7 Union Nov. 9 and helped the Crimson rebound with a pair of unassisted goals in a 4-0 blanking of Rensselaer a night later. Harvard has now had a player take home league Rookie of the Week honors in all but one week the team has been eligible this season.

Hotels in Maryland
Maryland hotel rates cover every price range, with a variety of cheap and discount hotels for travellers on a smaller budget. Located around Maryland, these hotels offer basic facilities, often including airport and train station pick-ups, and provide excellent service to guests. For travellers who prefer to have a few more creature comforts easily within their grasp, a wide range of luxury hotels in Maryland is available, particularly in Baltimore, while numerous 4-star hotels exist in other areas around the state, including in Annapolis. These hotels often have restaurant facilities, as well as spas, fitness centers, and indoor swimming pools.
Things to see in Maryland
Maryland has to be a favourite for history lovers. Across the state, there is whole host of activities for all the family to do, including the B&O Railroad Museum, built on one of the oldest railroad manufacturing sites in the U.S. Elsewhere, Fort McHenry, the star-shaped fort used during the Battle of Baltimore, is also popular with tourists, while those looking for something faster-paced should try the flight simulators at Patuxent River Naval Air Museum. And, like so many other states in the U.S., the wonders of the natural world in Maryland are unmissable. Within easy driving distance of Cambridge is the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, where visitors can follow the Wildlife Drive in their vehicles and walk around the park to catch a glimpse of the beautiful wildlife. And after all that exertion, take the chance to visit the Flying Dog Brewery. With their beers consumed across the world, this Frederick brewery is well worth a visit.
Where to stay in Maryland
The top choice for places to stay in Maryland is the vibrant and historical city of Baltimore. This port city offers plenty for history lovers, as well as a vast and varied selection of upscale shops and eateries. In Baltimore, there is a little something for everybody. Another great place for history buffs to visit is Hagerstown, in the northwest of the state. Hagerstown is home to and near many archaeological sites and historic buildings. Nature lovers should head to Cambridge, which is just a 20-minute drive from the edge of the spectacular Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge.
How to get to Maryland
Travel in Maryland is simple: coming from the north, just head south on Interstate 95 from Philadelphia and you'll be right in Baltimore, in the heart of Maryland. From the south, Interstate 95 will also bring you up from Virginia, while those coming from the Washington D.C. direction can take Route 50 northeast. For those using public transportation, various bus companies provide services to different areas in the state, while travellers from farther afield can fly into Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Airport, where flights come in from across the world, as well as the smaller Salisbury-Ocean City and Hagerstown Regional Airports.

Company owner Abel Terrio has reviewed the 2011 financial statements you prepared for Jackson Company as the accountant, and questions the $6,000 loss reported on the sale of its investment in Blackhawk Co. common stock.
Jackson acquired 50,000 shares of Blackhawk's common stock on December 31, 2009, at a cost of $500,000. This stock purchase represented a 40% interest in Blackhawk. The 2010 income statement reported that earnings from all investments were $126,000.
On January 3, 2011, Jackson Company sold the Blackhawk stock for $575,000. Blackhawk did not pay any dividends during 2010 but reported a net income of $202,500 for that year. Terrio believes that because the Blackhawk stock purchase price was $500,000 and was sold for $575,000, the 2011 income statement should report a $75,000 gain on the sale.
Draft a one-half page memorandum (at least 2 paragraphs) to Terrio explaining why the $6,000 loss on sale of Blackhawk stock is correctly reported.

No-Limit Holdem Poker covers both tournaments and money play, and all the different size stacks. However, there is more emphasis on the larger stack sizes. This book is aimed at a range of people from experienced amateur players to professional caliber players. Frankly, it is too advanced for no-limit newcomers. There are 63 chapters, spread over 267 pages, that talk poker theory. There are another 142 pages of questions and answers on specific hands and discussions about concrete situations.
I am very interested in getting suitable state laws on poker. To that goal, I started an organization called "Fair Laws On Poker," FLOP for short. You are invited to visit my FLOP Website. Most state gambling laws that apply to poker-playing are obsolete, written in the 1800's and never changed. They are horribly unfit for modern conditions, especially with the huge wave of poker popularity in the 21st century. The time is ripe for changing these archaic gambling laws. Games of mixed luck and skill such as poker, backgammon, bridge, and scrabble, where players compete only against each other, are of a substantially different character than casino gambling games that have the player competing against the house. For one thing, when the house simply hosts the game, it has an incentive to be scrupulously honest. The incentive is in the other direction when the house is an opponent of the player. So social gambling games need different treatment under the law than casino gambling games. I am the author of a study called A Comparative Study of State Laws on Social Gambling. This paper was presented at the London International Gaming Conference in 1990, and was reprinted as a chapter of professor William Eadington's highly respected book, "Gambling And Public Policy." It shows the wide variance in the treatment of gambling by the laws of different states. The ineptness and unfairness of many of these badly-written laws will shock you. Despite the strong need for fair laws on poker and other social gambling games, at this time I appear to be the only person who has done this type of comparative study calling attention to the problem.
My home state of Michigan is becoming the center of a big controversy over charity poker. Michigan's Governor Snyder is trying to eliminate fixed location charity poker. I am determined to stop him.
I am the leading authority on poker rules. You can view, copy, and use the best set
of cardroom poker rules in the world, all at no charge. I am making my new rulebook
Robert's Rules of Poker
available for free to promote the game of poker. This document is 60 pages, about
200 kilobytes. Version 11 is the latest version, compatible with the Tournament Directors Association
poker rules (with one exception), and available now.
To download a digital copy of the poker rules in Microsoft Word format,
click here.
(Then use the "file" and "save as" commands.)
I have also constructed a version of my rules that has been altered in a manner to make it appropriate for private games, Robert's Rules of Poker for home games. To download a digital copy of the home game poker rules in Microsoft Word format, click here.
There are numerous sites on the Internet that allow you to play poker against live opponents.
Here are some recommended
gameplaying websites that I use.
These are some helpful sites for people who like playing games, offering books and other info.
My favorite game for sheer pleasure is chess. I have written two chess books
on opening play, which you can view on my website where my poker books are displayed.
I was the President of the Michigan Chess Association in 2003. From my webpage you can access the MCA Tournament Rules.
I play speed chess on the Internet Chess Club, under the handle "coach999."
I write fiction as well as non-fiction. Here is my favorite short story, written in the late
nineties, a science fiction tale called
Snuff The Earth.
You can view a great set of rules for the card game hearts, the Cavendish Rules Of Hearts. If you would like to download a digital copy of the hearts rules in Microsoft Word format, click here. (Then use the "file" and "save as" commands.)
I acquired my nickname "The Coach" during the early seventies when I was coaching a bridge team. It is appropriate because my main focus is on playing games well and teaching others how to do so. Games are my life. I supported myself in the 60's from shooting pool (and teaching school), in the 70's from playing backgammon, and ever since the 80's from playing, teaching, and writing about poker. I am a 74-year-old man living in Saginaw, Michigan, my hometown. I had lived elsewhere ever since 1968, but moved back there in 1996 for family reasons. If you're curious about how I came to devote my life to gameplaying, there is some more info in my personal history section.
A number of my successes at gameplaying are displayed in my awards section.

Happily Bringing Down The Hammer
The Village Smithy Lives
"Under a spreading chestnut tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands…"
-"The Village Blacksmith," Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Alas, there's no spreading chestnut tree. There is, however, a lovely maple overhanging the shop's roof, and on the mid-October day we dropped in, the leaves on it were nearly as fire-engine red as the color of Richard Spreda's small wood frame building in Stowe, Vermont.
'Course, you might still miss it. The shop is tucked away just off Main Street. And Spreda's not real big on advertising.
"I have a website," Spreda, 64, says in his soft voice. "But if you look outside there is no 'open' sign, nothing that gives you any hours; there is a sign on the building, but basically my work comes from my previous customers and their friends."
The vast majority of whom, it can easily be assumed, have been very satisfied customers indeed.
For many, the simple word "blacksmith" still conjures Longfellow's "mighty man" at a bellows, or banging away on an anvil, wiping away sweat on his leather apron as he fashions another pair of horse shoes.
The only similarity with that image and Richard Spreda is that Spreda is, in fact, a rather "mighty" man -- well over six-feet and, um, not svelte. He's wearing jeans, a black sweatshirt (no apron) and sneakers. His white hair is cut short. And he doesn't make horse shoes.
What Spreda makes are finely-crafted works of metal. The pieces may be practical (gates, kitchen racks), or they may be more decorative (chandeliers, fireplace grates). But they are so finely and expertly made, they seem equally like works of art.
Not bad for a former excavating contractor who didn't take up blacksmithing till he was 45.
"I was left this vise here, and this anvil, by my father, and he never really used them for anything involved in blacksmithing," Spreda recounts, looking around his cluttered but clean shop. "But I said, 'Maybe I'll try it.' I had some horses at the time, and I watched the farrier do his work, and I said, 'You know, that's really interesting."
Interesting enough for Spreda to buy the farrier's gas forge.
"And that's all I had -- a vise, an anvil and a forge. I had no idea what I was doing!," he laughs loudly at the absurdity of it now. "But from there I grew this business."
But not without some growing pains. Spreda literally went door-to-door, dropping in on Vermont's blacksmiths wherever he could find them, hoping to engage someone to teach him some of the tricks of the trade. Didn't happen.
"They all looked at me incredulously and said, 'I can't really teach you how to do anything; you can look over my shoulder if you like.' No one would teach me."
So Spreda travelled a bit, learned what he could, then bought the building in Stowe and basically taught himself.
"And I learned how to do this craft; I just worked at it every, single day."
To watch Spreda move about his shop is to appreciate a true expert craftsman at work. There is no wasted movement. On this day, he is making some fireplace equipment. He hammers on the anvil, thrusts the metal into the forge, pulls it out red-hot a moment later, dunks it in water, then, steam rising, moves quickly to a table where he quickly bends the molten end of the metal into the desired shape.
"What do you love about it," I ask.
"It's romantic, you know?," he says, never taking his eyes off the metal as it twists slowly. "It's taking a piece of metal, putting it in the forge, and moving it around!"
He admits he moves more slowly now.
"It's not as easy as it was when I was 45, but you know, I have maintained a philosophy that if you work hard and get a good result, you are a happy person."
Spreda, who lives alone in an apartment above his shop, does seem like a happy man.
Mindful of his own rough welcome in the trade, he's also gone out of his way to mentor and help out young blacksmiths in Vermont."
"I taught a lot of people how to do it. I was determined to do that, because no one would teach me."
"Blacksmith," the simple sign says on the outside of the simple red building.
Inside is a man who made a career change in the middle of his life, and taught himself how to do his new job when no else would. In truth, it's a very old job that fewer and fewer people do anymore. But Richard Spreda still bangs away on the anvil he was given by his father. And he loves it. And an old profession endures.
"And Stowe has a village smithy," I observe, mindful of Longfellow's long-ago poem.
"That's right," he smiles. "They do."

Earned Value In Control Engineering Projects
There is a scene in the screen adaptation of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" where a struggling businessman comes to speak with the protagonist, Hank Reardon, in his office and the following exchange takes place:
Paul Larkin: They say you're intractable, you're ruthless, your only goal is to make money.
Hank Rearden: My only goal is to make money.
Just so. We are in this business to make money. But that raises the question for us controls professionals: How do we know our projects are making money? It's relatively easy to make the determination at the end of a project, but unfortunately, by that time it is too late and a project may have not yielded what was expected or, even worse, lost money. So the challenge is to monitor and direct a project during its execution so that small problems can be detected and remedied before they become big problems. That is where the concept of Earned Value (EV) comes in.
EV was developed and popularized in the 1960s by the Department of Defense for tracking projects in an attempt to identify and avoid cost and schedule overruns. The methodology was gradually adopted by different, project-intensive sectors of the economy and today is a key aspect of the Project Management Institute's toolbox.
In a nutshell, EV uses the time-sequenced values of work that has been planned (PV), the work that has actually been executed (EV), and the actual cost of the work that has been executed (AC), to develop a set of indices that gauge how a project is performing from both cost and schedule standpoints. In a sense, these parameters ask, "Given the amount of work I had planned to complete by a certain date, did we get that work done, and how much did it cost versus what was expected?"
EV can be administratively complex, but fortunately we have computerized tools to assist with that task. My preference is to use Microsoft's Project to facilitate my EV calculations. MS Project has a full EV engine programmed into it that makes extracting the necessary data quite simple. The best part of using an automated solution like Project is that not only are EV and its indices calculated for the overall project, but also for individual tasks. This is valuable for determining where a project that looks like it is going well overall may be coming off the rails in some underlying way.
When using Project for EV, it's necessary to lay the groundwork properly:
1. Create an MS Project file for your job
2. Enter the time-sequenced tasks and dependencies into the Gantt table
3. Enter resources to be used into the appropriate table, along with costing information
4. Associate the appropriate resources with their tasks to generate task costs and planned values, and,
5. When the base project plan is complete, set the project baseline.
As the project progresses and work is completed or costs incurred, enter the actual hour and dollar values into their respective tasks. Don't neglect to discuss task completeness with project team members. This will be important in projecting the final project schedule and cost.
To extract EV reports and data, simply set the project status date to the desired date (usually the current date). Then instruct Project to display the EV table of your choice. Three basic tables are available, an overview EV, a cost indicator, and a schedule indicator table. Summary tasks will roll up subordinate tasks, and if a project summary task has been created, the overall EV statistics for the project will roll up to that task.
The scope of possible reports that Project can generate is fairly broad and beyond the discussion here, but the data tend to be distilled into two primary indices: CPI and SPI, reflecting cost performance and schedule performance, respectively. A CPI greater than 1 indicates that the project is performing better than expected with regards to cost. A number less than one indicates the opposite. SPI is similar. In this way, lagging tasks can be singled out for corrective action without interfering with tasks that are performing well.

Czarina has not received any gifts yet
Thank you for noticing Flo. So few have. I've deleted my Facebook and Twitter accounts. I've given 3 years to the crusade and find myself increasingly sitting in front of the computer in tears as I'm attacked or brought down and none of my legions of so-called friends stepping in to support or defend me. Yesterday I received an email from someone within our circle saying he found it 'hilarious' that the 'lameness, tone deafness and incompetence of OZ Atheists never fails to amaze' him. I was specifically copied in on the letter. I emailed 10 people directly involved with this person at 5.30pm last night. As at 11am not one had stepped up to support me publicly (and only one privately).
I can't do this work without the support of my peers.
Please stay in touch. My email is avalonbythelake at yahoo dot com dot au

Oct. 13 Lance Lynn workout day interview
Q. Can you speak a little bit about the difficulties of going back and forth between starting and relieving?
LANCE LYNN: For me it's not that much. I've been able to do both and be successful at both, so I'm just looking forward to the opportunity. Tomorrow will be fun. Just go out there and pitch until they come take me out.
Q. You have pitched on big stages going all the way back to the Little League World Series, college, last year out of the bullpen at the World Series. How does that prepare you for your first start in the postseason?
LANCE LYNN: It gives me a lot of things to kind of look back on, so nothing should be any different. Tomorrow will be my first start, but I made quite a few postseason appearances out of the bullpen, and deeper in ballgames with a lot of runners on base. I'll just try to control myself, enjoy the moment and just go out and pitch.
Q. How much momentum do you think your team has after that incredible comeback they had the other night?
LANCE LYNN: I hope a lot. Coming back from six down and ending up winning the game and advancing like that. Hopefully it gives us a lot of confidence and we can play well and carry on from that. Hopefully we don't get ourselves in that kind of a hole again. But for the offense to do what they did was fun last night.
Q. What's the biggest difference you've noticed in the transition from Dave Duncan to Derek Lilliquist?
LANCE LYNN: For me there's not been that much of a difference. I spent more time with Derek last year in the bullpen. Duncan was more on game preparation and things like that. And I only had two starts last year with him, so I didn't really get a whole lot of insight there because when you're a rookie coming up, they tell you to throw what Yadi calls (laughter).
But they have a lot of similarities. Duncan was great. Lilly is learning, and he's doing a great job with us. And he's helped me a lot this year. I've had more time with him. I would love to have had more time with Dunc, but Dunc did a great job and Derek is doing a great job for us this year.
Q. Just wonder if you could take us from the 9th inning last night on to the celebration and the plane ride and the emotions that went all the way through.
LANCE LYNN: Yeah, I mean when you're down two going into the 9th with their closer on who's throwing the ball his best he's thrown it all year you're hoping to make something happen. To be able to score four there, get a two run lead, that was awesome. They just kept battling, bat after bat. And it was fun to watch. I'm glad I wasn't pitching against them because they seemed to be taking everything close and anything that was on the plate they were putting good swings on it.
And then going in to celebrate when you look up in the third inning, you're down 6 0, you can't help but think how are we going to come back and do this, and if we can. And to be able to get all the way back and win, there's no better feeling than that because it's a game that you move on. And to come back at someone else's place to beat them is about as good as it gets.
Q. Were you guys partying on the plane or were you exhausted?
LANCE LYNN: No, looking at 2:00 in the morning before we get on the plane, and family with us, everybody was ready to go to sleep, knowing that we're going to have a workout today and get ready to play tomorrow.
Q. Your right infield has a lot of local ties, Descalso grew up on the peninsula, Allen Craig played at Cal. What are things that you have seen that maybe people don't know or have forgotten?
LANCE LYNN: Allen Craig did hit with the best of them. I don't think I think a lot of people don't realize that about him. He's a great hitter. He's been one of those guys that just has to keep proving and proving how good he is. He hasn't stopped. And that just shows what kind of determination he has to be a great player.
And Descalso is that guy that you want out there with you every time because you know that he's going to make that play or come up with that big hit because he's always trying to outwork the next guy and always going to get dirty. Not afraid to dive for a ball or anything like that.
They're two good players to have and they both mean a lot to our team and they both work hard every day.
Q. Can you give us some thoughts on the Giants lineup, maybe a little bit on your approach and who you're focusing on in your preparation to pitch?
LANCE LYNN: I haven't looked at the lineup. That's something that I was planning on doing today, but we just arrived, so I haven't seen much. We didn't get in until 7:00 in the morning.
Q. On the Giants hitters, who are you guys thinking about?
LANCE LYNN: Posey, Sandoval, Pence, Pagan, Belt (laughter).
Q. More pressure coming into a game with a couple of guys on, late inning situation or starting Game 1 of an LCS. Kind of take me through some of your thought process on that.
LANCE LYNN: My guess is I can tell you tomorrow after the game (laughter).
Starting is something I've done my whole life. So I feel like that's going to be easier than last year. Last year I came into games when I hadn't pitched in two months coming off an injury, so I was pretty excited. I was just hoping to have some success. I hadn't thrown to a hitter in two months.
This year I've started games, relieved games, done it all over the last two years. So I'm sure tomorrow won't be any different than any other time.
Q. With that 7 a.m. arrival, how tired are you right now and what kind of effect do you think it will have on you tomorrow?
LANCE LYNN: Shouldn't be a big deal. If we played today that wouldn't be fun. But it's part of the game. We've done it all year. We've had late arrivals with playing that same day. So with a day off today, playing tomorrow shouldn't be a big deal at all.

2) In a large saute pan, melt 60g of butter. Add the brown sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves and is bubbly. Add the pecans. Season the pecans with salt, cayenne, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar starts to caramelize and coat the pecans evenly. Cook for about 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and spread the pecans over a parchment lined baking sheet. Place the pan in the oven and roast the pecans for about 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and cool completely. Break the pecans into small pieces.
3) Fill 3 small saucepans halfway up the pan with water. Place the pans over medium heat and bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. In three separate mixing bowls, add each type of chocolate into the individual bowls. Place the bowls over the saucepans. After about 2 minutes over the heat, the chocolate will start to melt. Stir each chocolate until totally melted. Remove the chocolate from the heat and stir 1 tablespoon of butter into each bowl of chocolate. Pour each type of chocolate over the marble or a large parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the pecans and cherries over the chocolates. Using a metal spatula, spread the mixture out evenly back and forth to about 1cm thick. Either place the marble in the refrigerator or allow to sit out until set, about a couple of hours. Break the bark into medium pieces and serve.


text: Winter outerwear has come a long way from the clammy straight-jackets your mom would wrap around you every time you wanted to go outside. Every year, we see jackets, shells, bibs and pants that are more breathable, lighter, stretchier, and just plain better-looking than last year's crop. We sifted through the countless options on the racks and selected a dozen or so favorite items, then took the whole pile of gear with us to Squaw Valley in California's Lake Tahoe region. We worked them over on the slopes for three days, then took the lot deeper into to the Sierras for another week. We also tried to pick something for everyone -- from Gore-Tex jeans (pre-distressed!) to a snow shell that costs as much as a mortgage payment, and even a down jacket hand-stuffed by followers of a 16th-century pacifist. It's going to be a weird, Wired winter. Spyder Phenomenon Jacket The Phenomenon jacket from Spyder is pretty much what would happen if you said, "Screw the cost, let's make a jacket with the best materials we can find." The list of what went into the $1,200 garment looks like the textile version of the Robb Report. The waterproof membrane is made of Schoeller c-change, which opens its pores to vent heat and moisture when the interior warms up. Custom-embossed stretch polyester lines the interior. Primaloft One insulation lines the body and sleeves. And the outer shell is composed of DWR-treated stretch polyester material with wool accents. Premium! It was warm, waterproof and comfortable on the slopes, with no movement restricted, plenty of waterproof zip pockets and ventilation, and so many features, I actually lost track of everything that was special about it while I was showing it off to people. To top it all off, the jacket looks like money -- the slim cut and wool accents made it fit right in over a suit and tie on the way to office Christmas parties. -- Billy Brown WIRED Fantastic material choices all around. Tough waterproof outer with great stretch. Removable hood and snow skirt. Gusseted cuffs are adjustable. Plays dress-up better than Eliza Doolittle. TIRED I've owned cheaper cars. Rating: 9 out of 10H/H Odin Guide Pants The majority of the gear in this product roundup is ideal for skiing and snowboarding. Fact is, most gear that you get for winter sports is only ideal for winter sports. Pieces of gear you can wear and use year-round are few and far between, which is why Helly/Hansen's Odin soft shell pants ($225) made such a huge impression on me. They're the most versatile pants in the lineup by far -- the double-weave softshell was breathable enough for hikes in 70-degree weather, but the DWR treatment kept water out whether I was skiing in California or ice climbing on Spencer Glacier in Alaska. Full-stretch construction provided a full range of motion no matter what activity I was pursuing, and the welded reinforcements (along with the tough softshell) let me bushwhack through Chugach State Park without any tears or abrasions. If you're planning on plowing through miles of wet weather, you're better off going with a fully waterproof pant. But for just about anything else, these guys are the way to go. -- Billy Brown WIRED Versatile beyond expectations. Tough, but still breathes like a champ. Expandable leg opening accommodates ski boots. Relatively inexpensive for high-performance winter pants. TIRED Water-resistant, not waterproof. Slim cut gives big boys a skinny-jeans look. Rating: 9 out of 10Adidas Terrex Active Shell Lightweight, tough, and reinforced against the weather with the Gore-Tex Active membrane, the Terrex Active Shell from Adidas ($425) was a winner when the activity levels were high. On days when insulation wasn't necessary, the 12-ounce jacket was great for blocking the gustier elements. The wind on the Siberia Lift added a chill to our test days at Squaw Valley, but the shell kept it out it effectively without letting me overheat. The jacket proved even more impressive while skiing up Mt. Shasta a few weeks later -- despite the cloudless 45-degree weather, 40 mph winds blasted cold air and ice at us as we skied up past the treeline. The steep slopes elicited sweat with a midlayer, but the wind cut through my t-shirt like it wasn't there. The Active Shell was the perfect solution that day, as it completely negated the wind chill, but was breathable enough to not get clammy while we made our way uphill. My only major complaint: the pockets double as zip vents, so you risk dumping your camera, phone, or whatever's in your pockets if you start overheating. -- Billy Brown WIRED Super lightweight. The Active membrane proved breathable than Gore-Tex Pro. Has a nice slim cut, but the hood is still helmet-compatible. TIRED Elastic hem tends to creep up your torso. You'll want a base layer if it's cold outside. No separate zip vents. Rating: 8 out of 10Burton The Jeans Pant Jeans work with almost anything -- a sport coat, a T-shirt, a Yale cardigan. In fact, they'll pair with just about everything except for snow gear. Nothing says "I don't know what I'm doing" more than a guy barreling down the mountain wearing a pair of soaking wet, half-frozen jeans. Which is exactly why these are so funny and awesome: Burton's The Jeans Pants ($280) are made of totally waterproof, seam-taped Gore-Tex with a dead-on print of a broken-in pair of jeans. Complete with distressed and fraying spots, they also have the same five-pocket scheme -- two back pockets, two hip pockets, and a smaller watch pocket -- found on regular jeans. Wearing these n the slopes at Squaw, they definitely stood out from the usual black or day-glo ski pants out there. Their beauty isn't skin deep, either. Tech details like inner thigh vents, a comfortable soft satin interior, and a loop that keeps the heel cuff from dragging while you're walking around the boardshop make it clear that Burton hasn't lost its design chops. -- Billy Brown WIRED Waterproof and windproof. Soft satin interior. Reinforced cuffs. They look just like a pair of jeans -- you have to get up really close and touch them to tell the difference. TIRED Snow dumps in through the low rise when you cartwheel. They look just like a pair of jeans. Rating: 7 out of 10Arc'teryx Sidewinder Jacket There's not much to the Sidewinder -- the first time I tried it on, it felt like I was wearing a very stiff, very large, very expensive windbreaker -- but it's got almost everything it needs to be the ultimate snow sports outer shell. Almost. The $650 jacket is a shield against anything you'll encounter on the mountain -- snow, rain, wind and trees (Tree encounter tested but not recommended). It's light, comfortable and the inner liner adds an extra layer of comfort and warmth. The reinforced construction gives the impression that it'll last for years, so you might want to pick a neutral color to make sure it's fashion future-proof. Another plus: the oversized hood fit over my extra-large helmet, and the off-center zipper is easy to close with one hand. Also, I could adjust the hood's drawstrings with my gloves on -- same with the drawstrings on the powder skirt, too. But that's where my love affair with the Arc'teryx Sidewinder came to an abrupt halt. The powder skirt on the jacket doesn't have loops that attach to many of the pants on the market. Instead, it has buttons that connect only to Arc'teryx pants. I was able to cinch the powder skirt tight enough to keep snow from creeping into my pants, but I'd rather be able to attach the jacket to all of the snowboard and ski gear I already own without having to shell out big bucks for a matching piece of pricey Arc'teryx pants. -- Roberto Baldwin WIRED A forcefield against Old Man Winter. Funky "sidewinder" zipper closes off-center and won't get caught in your soul patch. Durable enough to survive a run in with a tree (or two). Very light and comfortable. TIRED Powder skirt buttons only work with Arc'teryx pants. Spendy for how simple it is. Rating: 8 out of 10Patagonia Powslayer Bibs Built around Gore-Tex's latest premier membrane -- the most breathable version yet of the tough, weatherproof standby -- Patagonia's new Powslayer bibs ($600) are designed specifically for backcountry boarding runs. The high-rise bib keeps snow out when whipping through waist-deep pow, while the lightweight shell (the bibs tip in at just over a pound) and leg-length vents let hot air out on uphill hikes. The pants proved their toughness when I slid knee-first over December ice in shady patches at Squaw Valley. And when the snow got deeper in January, the high bib kept it from creeping down the back of my pants. The only real complaint I found was that a lack of insulation made for chilly rides when I chose a thinner baselayer. -- Billy Brown WIRED High-cut bib design keeps powder from spilling into pants. Light. Big fit makes room for layering. Huge vents are great for temperature control. TIRED Too thin to provide warmth. Too baggy when layering isn't needed. Rating: 7 out of 10The North Face Women's Zero Pants When it comes to women's outerwear, it's not often that you find a piece that you love on the mountain just as much as you love in the lodge, particularly if you're an aggressive rider. The North Face's Women's Zero pants ($400) fall into that elusive middle ground of rugged enough for any conditions you encounter, and chic enough you won't mind wearing it in the lodge for post-riding drinks. The Zero, available in black or bright "energy" yellow (Yes, please!) is sheathed in Gore-Tex, which consistently kept me warm and dry in all the conditions I encountered. And the detachable suspenders kept snow out of my pants without the need for a powder skirt, even when I wiped out hard. Instead of vents, the pants have two full-length side zippers, so you can get slip on and off without removing your boots. And speaking of boots, the Zeroes come with some seriously rugged boot gaiters. While I didn't get much use for them on the groomers, I was grateful for them the second I went into the trees. My feet stayed warm and dry, even when I sank into powder up to my knees. My only gripe is with the hardware. The snap on one of the suspenders broke off when I removed them. This is an easy (and cheap) fix but it's shouldn't happen when you spend hundreds of dollars on your pants. Also, while the overall fit was pretty good, I wished the pants were available in a short inseam, as the size medium was just a little too large for my 5-foot, 3-inch frame. -- Karissa Bell WIRED Boot gaiters for days. Suspenders come off so you don't have to strip down every time you need a bathroom break. Much more flattering than many ski pants. Did I mention they're bright yellow? TIRED Flimsy hardware. Some vents would be nice. Only available in two colors. No short sizes. Rating: 7 out of 10Patagonia Powder Bowl Pants Sitting in the snow is a one way ticket to a cold, wet ass without the proper gear. Thanks to the magic of Gore-Tex, the Patagonia Powder Bowl pants ($300) kept me dry after I took a tumble in powder, which happened more than once -- OK, constantly. I also tested them when I got back to the city by wearing them while riding my scooter to work in the rain for a week. They worked well in both environments -- snow slid off once I got back on my feet, and the city rain beaded up and slid off, though particularly heavy rains appeared to saturate the thigh area of the pants while I rode the scooter. Still, water never penetrated the pants, and I stayed dry. The Patagonias felt light while wearing them, and they had a comfortable loose fit without feeling baggy like some snowboarding pants. Instead of placing the vents in the crotch area (which leads to the awkward fight with the zipper near your junk), Patagonia has zippers on both hips that run almost to the knee. This is a huge improvement over the more traditional crotch vents. The powder skirt loops inside are made to work with Patagonia jackets, but I found they worked (to an extent) with my Burton jacket as well. The side hooks on the jacket can be attached through the belt loop. Not ideal, but it works. My biggest complaints are that the elastic at the bottom of the pant legs don't have a small hook to attach to my boots like other snow pants I've used. A few times on the mountain, I had to pull the lower part of the pants down as they crept up my boot. -- Roberto Baldwin WIRED Kept me dry in various conditions, from rain to snow. Side vents are a blessing, and the skirt loops are more versatile than expected. TIRED No ankle-elastic hook, and the cuffs tended to creep up to the top of my boots on the slopes. Rating: 8 out of 10Smartwool PhD Smartloft Divide Full-Zip Jacket Merino wool is pretty much the wonder-drug of the outdoor world -- the eco-friendly fabric dries quickly, breathes well, and it resists odor (a huge plus when you spend days in the wild). It's such an effective material, Smartwool, a company which makes everything out of the stuff, decided to see what else it could do, and used it as insulation in the new Divide midlayer jacket ($200). The exterior of the Divide's sleeves, sides and back panel is made up of a blend of Merino wool and elastane, providing a wide range of motion with a bit of stretch, and the interior is lined with super-soft Merino jersey material. The front panel covers the core in a quilted pocket that's stuffed with wool insulation. The semi-form fit made it easy to layer underneath a shell to keep wind and snow out. The jersey material felt great against the skin, and thumb loops in the wrists kept the sleeves in place whenever I was wearing gloves or layering up. -- Billy Brown WIRED Soft wool interior. Panel design with quilted pockets provides warmth where it's needed. TIRED Pockets aren't zippered. Wind cuts through the non-insulated areas like a knife. Rating: 7 out of 10Outdoor Research Vanguard Pants A trifecta of materials (softshell outer, Gore-Tex membrane, and tricot backing) gives OR's Vanguard pants ($495) a "do-it-all" feel. They're warm enough to tromp through a whiteout, but inner and outer thigh venting blow out all the hot air and moisture on long uphill grinds. Totally water- and windproof, the bib kept snow out on deep powder days -- nothing snuck in over the top, and every drop of moisture beaded up and rolled off of the face material. The bib's removable, so if you're not a bib man or the weather's great, you can rock them as plain ol' pants. I tested these guys in a wide range of conditions -- from bluebird days at Squaw Valley to whiteout "I shouldn't have made the drive" conditions on Mount Shasta -- and the pants were ideal in every situation. The bibs sealed out snow in hip-deep pow, and the pants were warm enough to rock without base layers on those sunny days in Squallywood. -- Billy Brown WIRED Soft, tricot-lined interior. Bib is removable if you're not feeling the straps. The pants are totally waterproof, and still provide great venting. TIRED Slim cut -- husky riders might want to size up. Rating: 8 out of 10Westcomb Cayoosh LT Down Jacket You wouldn't expect to find luxury from clothes made by a centuries-old religious colony. But Westcomb's Cayoosh LT down jacket gets its feathered filling direct from the Hutterites. These Canadian pacifists are known for whipping up down that's testing at 900-fill to provide a great warmth-to-weight ratio. The $260 Cayoosh crams the down into silky-soft Pertex Quantum fabric and adds Polartec's wind-proof Powerfleece Pro on the side panels for extra mobility. It performed well while snowboarding in Squaw Valley, but the lack of closures in the hem and sleeves let wind and the occasional puff of snow creep into the jacket. It really shined while cruising for burgers around the Village at Squaw -- the frigid Tahoe night air couldn't find its way past the holy down no matter how long I stayed out under the stars. -- Billy Brown WIRED A windproof jacket with a soft interior. High-loft, lightweight down. Velour-lined pockets are luxurious. Loved the dual-front zipper. TIRED No cuff closure and no hem drawstring, so snow and cold can creep in. Pockets don't zip shut.
