| Whitey's Bar and Billiards: Advisory from Iowa's Department of Public Health! | | 2008-07-15 21:23:10 | | Billiards buddies, pool players, and cue sport fans, I just read this piece of billiards news from the Chicago Tribune. Iowa’s Department of Public Health is urging patrons of Whitey’s Bar and Billiards to get vaccinated for hepatitis after a food service worker at the billiards establishment was diagnosed with hepatitis A. According to the agency, persons who consumed any drinks containing ice or a lemon slice, those who ate at the salad bar or in restaurant at Whitey’s Bar and Billiards from July 2-13, 2008, may have been exposed to hepatitis. It is urging such persons to receive a hepatitis A vaccine or immune globulin immediately. Symptoms of hepatitis A may include fever, diarrhea, tiredness, loss of appetite, dark urine, and jaundice. Moreover, some who contract hepatitis A can become ill enough to be hospitalized or bedridden! And I kid you not! The AnitoKid says: Go get yourself vaccinated, friends! Prayers for a speedy recovery go out to the food service worke | | By: The AnitoKid Chronikos | | |

| 4th of July tips from the Nutley Fire Department | | 2008-06-24 23:19:00 | | Despite the state ban on the use of fireworks, Commissioner Alphonse Petracco, director of public safety, is extending a warning to all citizens intent on participating in traditional holiday festivities this Fourth of July. Petracco recently pointed out the obvious and not-so-obvious implications of citizens using fireworks on their own.
“With the summer months, there’s dry conditions," he said. "Especially around now, fireworks are extremely hazardous."
Deputy fire Chief Mark Guiliano says the smaller firecrackers cause the most problems, both outside and around the home.
“Bottle rockets have caused a lot of gutter fires where the rocket will get caught in the eaves of houses and start fires. Of course, they are illegal, but many people use them on their own. We get a lot of brush fires around this time that are caused by people setting off fireworks,” Guiliano said.
Only “caps” for a cap gun are legal for sale and use in New Jersey.

According to my sources, confirmed by Bill Gertz in the Washington Times, Russia is actively seeking to get the State Department to help spring Viktor Bout from his Thai prison home. One of the reasons the DEA held its sting operation that led to Bout's arrest so close to the chest was precisely because the agents understood the high risk of political interference in the case.

| Get Your Department Heads to Own their Numbers | | 2008-01-03 15:49:16 | | You hired
good people. Now make your department
heads feel like owners of their areas.
Keep them up to date on their operating costs. You do not have to share the whole
financials with them, but certainly let them see their department costs.Have them budget their numbers each year. Add this into the reporting
package. Hold them accountable for
what they planned and make it easy for them to see how they do. Make the variances visible to them and
you. They may take action on it
even before you see the need. Give them reasonable room.
Decide what they have discretion to spend on and what needs to come
up to you for approval. Celebrate and reward their successes as well.
You, your
family and your investors may own all the stock. Yet you will have something better to own if you
let your people have psychological ownership of their areas. | | By: Ask Jon Paul | | |

Klein of University of Pennsylvania has established statistical relationships between some 75 monthly economic and financial indicators and the main entries in the quarterly national income and product accounts (NIPA). This is so-called Current Quarter Model (CQM). The CQM is a purely econometric system with no personal data adjustment. Whenever high frequency indicators are available, partial information on the United States economy can be updated, revising the current (and next) quarter forecasts. Since there is no personal adjustment in the CQM, the CQM forecasts on a forward rolling basis are able to tell the continuous changes in the economy.

| How Large Should the Finance Department Be? | | 2007-09-19 08:43:07 | |
We got asked this question- someone with a $15 million telecom business asked how large the accounting department should be.
It all depends – on many factors:
1. How many customers do you have?
2. How large are the orders? Do you have a lot of orders or very few large ones?
3. How automated are your collections? Is it recurring or online revenue covered by credit cards or is there a collection effort involved?
4. How complex are your collections and invoicing? Healthcare for example can have very complicated billings. Some businesses with retail customers get involved with some very involved chargebacks.
5. Do you resell or develop your own products and services? If reselling, it can be
6. How complicated is the production of your product or service? How elaborate is the reporting that is needed?
7. How diverse is your structure- different offices, countries, organizations?
8. What other complicating factors are there in your business- for example:
a. Commission structures
b. Customer contracts
c. Expense reports and travel
Depending upon the answers to these questions, you could have a wide range of staff needed, from just a couple to a dozen or more.
The above cover your type of business and what you might not be able to control. Within your control however, are how good your systems are, what type of people you have and how well your people are mentored. Good systems can minimize staff. So can having the right person at the top; some people have not made the transition and still require a lot of staff.
As an example of a lean finance department, we have one client who has just two finance people for a roughly $20 million business.
Your business can set a range for how large your finance area needs to be. To be at the low end of the staffing range, take a hard look at the person at the top, your system and your processes. | | By: Ask Jon Paul | | |

What does Bonaroo mean really? According to the shop owners (who I trust) "the exact definition quite simply means - your best or new clothes as a prisoner, garments that you would keep in a parcel or a box in your cell, so they don't get stained, burned or used as a noose." Does this mean that the t-shirts they sell must be kept in a secure place where no one and nothing could touch them? Does it mean that these damn shirts are so special that you will wear them only in a few special occasions? Well, that's up to you to decide... OK, apart of all that Bonaroo is a relatively new place to find a bunch of smart, funny, and ironic t-shirts. I know that some of you might not like this kind of t-shirts and honestly I'm not so sure if I'd wear some of Bonaroo's t-shirts too, but check out my personal favorite from this shop, the "Get Help!

| The Department of Education and Undersecretary Franklin Sunga are Recipients of Da Daily Donkey Award! | | 2007-07-11 02:50:00 | | Da Daily DonkeyDa Daily Donkey Award goes to the Philippines' Department of Education (DepEd), which approved error-filled textbooks used in our country's public elementary schools, and to its Undersecretary Franklin Sunga, who sought to downplay the errors uncovered by academician Antonio Calipjo Go. Mr. Go had a full-page ad in the Inquirer's Monday issue listing down the hundreds of errors he found in English and Filipino textbooks.From Inquirer.net:"Those are alleged errors,'' DepEd Undersecretary Franklin Sunga said in reaction to the full-page ad put out by Go in The Inquirer's Monday issue listing down the hundreds of errors he found in English and Pilipino textbooks.A-Kid: Common sense is not so common after all. Mr. Sunga, an academician such as Antonio Calipjo Go wouldn't put himself out in the open for libel suits (and via a full-page ad in one of the country's popular newspapers) if he didn't know what he was talking about.Sunga said that he did not find the terms | | By: The AnitoKid Chronikos | | |

| The Department of Education: Destroying the Education System $67.2 Billion at a Time | | 2007-07-08 00:11:00 | | Conservatives have not been sufficient when conveying the need to get rid of the Department of Education. Instead of articulating why the Department of Education is destroying the education system in this Country, they manage to convince ignorant Americans that they are against education itself. This bureaucratic labyrinth known as the Department of Education has demonstrated that it serves only one purpose: To unnecessarily grow the size of government. If, hypothetically, the average taxpayer were to pay $1000 of his or her tax dollars toward education, here is a picture of what happens to that money. First, the money goes straight to Washington, D.C. Even if the taxpayer lives in Chicago, which is nowhere near Washington, it is totally irrelevant. Then the government workers take a huge cut, create an unworkable plan to fix problems they created, and send the money around the country. The money may never go back to the taxpayer’s district, a mere technicality. Subsequen | | By: Copious Dissent - Your Daily Dose of Liberty | | |

| Constitutional Protections Don't Apply To Department Of Children And Families Investigations. | | 2007-06-18 14:15:00 | | By Jennifer Abel Courtesy of Thinking Mother BlogWhen accused of a crime you’re guaranteed certain constitutional rights, like the right to face and confront your accusers, have a jury trial, know the charges are against you and see what evidence the state has to support them. But none of these apply if you’re investigated by the Connecticut Department of Children and Families.“The [DCF] is not a law enforcement agency and does not charge citizens with crimes,” department spokesman Gary Kleeblatt said in an e-mail. “Therefore, the agency has no involvement in the enforcement of constitutional rights that relate solely to criminal activity (jury trial, confront accuser).”“It’s a gimmick,” charges Michael Agranoff, an Ellington-based attorney who specializes in defending parents in DCF cases. “Making [these cases] civil instead of criminal is a gimmick to get around the fourth, fifth and sixth amendments to the Constitution.” Abridged >>Send your comments to jabel@h | | By: Elder Abuse | | |

| Car Financing; The F&I Department | | 2007-06-15 07:44:00 | | Car Financing – The F&I DepartmentBy Jeff NeilanOK, you’ve finally gotten through the front end part of buying your car. You have worked hard done some tough negotiating and feel like you have negotiated a good and fair deal on your car purchase and trade-in. Now it’s time to head into the dealer’s F&I (finance and insurance) department and go through the formality of signing the financing paper work on the back end of the deal.You may have noticed a couple of terms: front end and back end. I used these terms to illustrate a point to you. From a car dealer perspective there are two distinct parts (profit centers) to each deal. The front end of the deal is the new car price, your trade in, any dealer add on’s that they got you to buy with your new car, etc. All of this, most everyone is indeed familiar with. The second part of the deal, the back end, is not a place to let your guard down. The back end is the F&I department. The F&I manager is every bit as responsible for makin | | By: Car Buying Tips To Save You Money | | |

| Tehran's Secret 'Department 9000' | | 2007-06-12 16:27:00 | | President Bush said last week he expects a "bloody" summer in Iraq. What he didn't say is that a growing covert war between the United States and Iran may be one reason the conflict is escalating. U.S. intelligence has identified the principal unit behind Tehran's efforts to supply Shia insurgent cells in Iraq. It is a supersecret group called Department 9000, which is part of the elite Quds Force of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. More... | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |

| Labor Department Statistics are a Joke | | 2007-06-02 06:28:55 | | At this point, why on earth should we trust anything our government agencies are telling us? It is bizarre to me how ridiculous so many reports and things I come across are. Things are just continuously obfuscated by the so-called “public servants”. To me the entire procedure is becoming alarmingly ridiculous, to the point where more individual citizens need to wake up and take notice and stop willingly ignoring the consistent BS coming from our bloated, lack-of-principle, just plain ridiculous current government. It is shameful.
