Identify the Key flexfields that use qualifiers with their owning applications. (Choose four.)
A. Location flexfield (Oracle Assets)
B. Cost Allocation flexfield (Oracle Payroll)
C. Asset Category flexfield (Oracle Assets)
D. Payment Terms flexfield (Oracle Payables)
E. Credit History flexfield (Oracle Receivables)
F. Accounting flexfield (Oracle General Ledger)
Answer: ABCF
A: Location Flexfield, LOC#, Oracle Assets The location flexfield allows you to specify and track the exact location of your assets. You must assign the state segment qualifier to one segment of your location flexfield. The state segment facilitates property tax reporting. All other segments are optional. You use the same setup windows to create your location flexfield as you do for your other key flexfields.
B:Cost Allocation Flexfield, COST, Oracle Payroll
C: The asset category flexfield allows you to define asset categories and subcategories. For example, you can create an asset category for your computer equipment. You can then create subcategories for personal computers, terminals, printers, and software. You must assign the major category segment qualifier to one segment of your category flexfield. The major category segment facilitates capital budgeting. All other segments are optional. You use the same setup windows to create your asset category flexfield as you do for your other key flexfields.
F:Accounting Flexfield, GL#, Oracle General Ledger

NEW PALTZ, N.Y. -- The school board this week reviewed a proposal to establish a fund of up to $5 million that could pay for property purchases and some construction costs by the district. Board members said during a meeting on Wednesday that the account would begin with $1.2 million transferred from a capital reserve account approved by district voters in 2005. District officials initially said they expected to seek voter approval of the fund in May, but they have decided to wait until later this year after noting upcoming ballot propositions are likely to include bus purchases and safety improvements. Superintendent Maria Rice said board members expect to review options for school renovations or expansion during the coming month but that a land-acquisition proposition is not expected to be included in those plans. "The board just said that if there's ever land near a school, they would like the opportunity to be able to bring it to the voters because we need it for field space," Rice said. "It would just be something that, if there was an opportunity, they would like to move forward," she said. School board President Patrick Rausch said the funding would help the district lock in a good price for property. He said an effort to secure property last year was thwarted because information about the purchase was part of public discussions. "We lost an opportunity to get the land at a good price around Lenape school," he said. Officials said the balance of funds after the first $1.2 million would come from general fund excess amounts over the next 10 years. The proposition would ask voters to let the district establish a "construction, reconstruction and real property purchase reserve fund" without a specific project being proposed. The resolution state the fund would be for "paying all or part of the costs of construction and improvements to district buildings and facilities, including planning costs, site work and construction/reconstruction costs and for the purchase of real property for school district purposes." In April 2012, school district residents overwhelmingly turned down propositions asking to use $798,000 from a capital reserve for the purchase of 22.4 acres adjacent to Lenape Elementary School near state Route 32. A proposition to allow a capital reserve fund for real estate purchases was defeated, 1,318-437, and a proposition to make the actual purchase was defeated, 1,363-382. The school board was criticized for proposing the purchase in February 2012 and giving the public only two months to review the costs of the proposed purchase. The proposal also was not well received by New Paltz Town Board members, with Supervisor Susan Zimet saying the school board should have worked with town and village officials before deciding to put the purchase on a ballot. Editor's note: A previous version of this story, which was posted on the evening of 03/13/2013, was inaccurate. It was updated 10:43 AM 03/14/2013.

It is not known if Gov. Rick Scott saw the cry for help that Sarasota Classic Car Museum posted on its marquee for the governor's recent visit to New College of Florida.
The sign warned that the museum, one of the oldest antique car museums in the nation, could end up becoming a boarded-up college storage facility.
After almost 60 years at the site on Tamiami Trail in North Sarasota, the museum has been told by New College, which owns the property, that after June it will have to park its collection of more than 75 classic automobiles somewhere else.
Museum director Martin Godbey said the college is forcing out the museum so it can pursue a $300,000 maintenance grant from the state.
"Should the state of Florida be spending $300,000 when it doesn't need to and should it be boarding up a business that's a part of the fabric of this community?" he asked.
College officials say that Godbey knew the lease was coming to an end and that the college made it clear it planned to take over the building.
"The college didn't buy the property to become a landlord," said John Martin, New College vice president for finance and administration. "They have had five years to think about this."
Martin said he is also concerned that the museum is not adequately maintaining the 1950s building as required under its lease.
A recent structural survey found masonry cracks, roof leaks and water-damaged roof timbers, and recommended part of the structure be demolished and rebuilt.
"The longer we let him stay, he sure as heck isn't going to invest any money in it," Martin said.
College officials plan to use the museum's various buildings as a maintenance facility and storage warehouse, and are looking at an area with a stage as a possible entertainment venue for students.
In the long term, they plan to demolish the site and build a multipurpose building that would include student housing, classrooms and conference space.
Talks between college and museum officials last week produced a tentative deal that extends the museum's lease, which expires this month, by another seven months.
Godbey said he offered to pay $100,000 per year in rent if the college would give the museum three more years to raise the capital to buy a new museum site.
New College bought the property for $4.1 million in 2006 from the Sarasota-Manatee Airport Authority.
At that time, the authority's 30-year lease with the museum had about six years to run. The museum paid just $4,242 a month in rent, a deal that will likely be impossible to match elsewhere.
Last week, the sign outside the museum had been changed and merely read, "New College President Mr. Donal O'Shea," apparently a plea for help from New College's new leader.
Martin said he hopes the lease extension, which raises the rent to $8,333 per month, will give the museum some breathing room.
The nonprofit museum is an homage to manufacturers like Alfa Romeo, Cadillac and Ferrari, who elevated cars from a mode of transport into status symbols.
Among its most-prized exhibits are John and Mable Ringling's collection of Rolls-Royce autos, John Lennon's 1965 Mercedes-Benz and a Mini Copper that belonged to his songwriting partner, Paul McCartney.
Car buff Ron Waters, a Destin resident, visited the museum during his recent stay in Sarasota.
Waters, who has owned 80 cars in his lifetime, said he would hate to see it close.
"I think it's horrible; it's very sad," he said. "It's a piece of history."
Facing lease's end,
It is not known if Gov. Rick Scott saw the cry for help that Sarasota Classic Car Museum posted on its marquee for the governor's recent visit to New College of Florida.

Dead in the Family (Sookie Stackhouse / Southern Vampire Series #10)368
NOOK Book(eBook)
Available on Compatible NOOK Devices and the free NOOK Apps.
After enduring torture and the loss of loved ones during the brief but deadly Fae War, Sookie Stackhouse is hurt and she's mad. Just about the only bright spot in her life is the love she thinks she feels for vampire Eric Northman. But he's under scrutiny by the new vampire king because of their relationship. And as the political implications of the shifters' coming-out are beginning to be felt, Sookie's connection to one particular Were draws her into the dangerous debate. Also, unknown to her, though the doors to Faery have been closed, there are still some fae on the human side—and one of them is angry at Sookie. Very, very angry.

Read an Excerpt
The First Week
"I feel bad that I'm leaving you like this," Amelia said. Her eyes were puffy and red. They'd been that way, off and on, ever since Tray Dawson's funeral.
"You have to do what you have to do," I said, giving her a very bright smile. I could read the guilt and shame and ever-present grief roiling around Amelia's mind in a ball of darkness. "I'm lots better," I reassured her. I could hear myself babbling cheerfully along, but I couldn't seem to stop. "I'm walking okay, and the holes are all filled in. See how much better?" I pulled down my jeans waistband to show her a spot that had been bitten out. The teeth marks were hardly perceptible, though the skin wasn't quite smooth and was visibly paler than the surrounding flesh. If I hadn't had a huge dose of vampire blood, the scar would've looked like a shark had bitten me.
Amelia glanced down and hastily away, as if she couldn't bear to see the evidence of the attack. "It's just that Octavia keeps e-mailing me and telling me I need to come home and accept my judgment from the witches' council, or what's left of it," she said in a rush. "And I need to check all the repairs to my house. And since there are a few tourists again, and people returning and rebuilding, the magic store's reopened. I can work there part-time. Plus, as much as I love you and I love living here, since Tray died..."
"Believe me, I understand." We'd gone over this a few times.
"It's not that I blame you," Amelia said, trying to catch my eyes.
She really didn't blame me. Since I could read her mind, I knew she was telling me the truth.
Even I didn't totally blame myself, somewhat to my surprise.
It was true that Tray Dawson, Amelia's lover and a Were, had been killed while he'd been acting as my bodyguard. It was true that I'd requested a bodyguard from the Were pack nearest me because they owed me a favor and my life needed guarding. However, I'd been present at the death of Tray Dawson at the hands of a sword-wielding fairy, and I knew who was responsible.
So I didn't feel guilty, exactly. But I felt heartsick about losing Tray, on top of all the other horrors. My cousin Claudine, a full-blooded fairy, had also died in the Fae War, and since she'd been my real, true fairy godmother, I missed her in a lot of ways. And she'd been pregnant.
I had a lot of pain and regret of all kinds, physical and mental. While Amelia carried an armful of clothes downstairs, I stood in her bedroom, gathering myself. Then I braced my shoulders and lifted a box of bathroom odds and ends. I descended the stairs carefully and slowly, and I made my way out to her car. She turned from depositing the clothes across the boxes already stowed in her trunk. "You shouldn't be doing that!" she said, all anxious concern. "You're not healed yet."
"I'm fine."
"Not hardly. You always jump when someone comes into the room and surprises you, and I can tell your wrists hurt," she said. She grabbed the box and slid it into the backseat. "You still favor that left leg, and you still ache when it rains. Despite all that vamp blood."
"The jumpiness'll get better. As time passes, it won't be so fresh and at the front of my mind," I told Amelia. (If telepathy had taught me anything, it was that people could bury the most serious and painful of memories, if you gave them enough time and distraction.) "The blood is not just any vampire's. It's Eric's blood. It's strong stuff. And my wrists are a lot better." I didn't mention that the nerves were jumping around in them like hot snakes just at this moment, a result of their having been tied together tightly for several hours. Dr. Ludwig, physician to the supernatural, had told me the nerves — and the wrists — would be back to normal, eventually.
"Yeah, speaking of the blood . . ." Amelia took a deep breath and steeled herself to say something she knew I wouldn't like. Since I heard it before she actually voiced it, I was able to brace myself. "Had you thought about... Sookie, you didn't ask me, but I think you better not have any more of Eric's blood. I mean, I know he's your man, but you got to think about the consequences. Sometimes people get flipped by accident. It's not like it's a math equation."
Though I appreciated Amelia's concern, she'd trespassed into private territory. "We don't swap," I said. Much. "He just has a sip from me at, you know . . . the happy moment." These days Eric was having a lot more happy moments than I was, sadly. I kept hoping the bedroom magic would return; if any male could perform sexual healing, that male would be Eric.
Amelia smiled, which was what I'd been aiming for. "At least..."
She turned away without finishing the sentence, but she was thinking, At least you feel like having sex.
I didn't so much feel like having sex as I felt like I ought to keep trying to enjoy it, but I definitely didn't want to discuss that. My ability to cast aside control, which is the key to good sex, had been pinched out of existence during the torture. I'd been absolutely helpless. I could only hope that I'd recover in that area, too. I knew Eric could feel my lack of completion. He'd asked me several times if I was sure I wanted to engage in sex. Nearly every time, I said yes, operating on the bicycle theory. Yes, I'd fallen off. But I was always willing to try to ride it again.
"So, how's the relationship doing?" she said. "Aside from the whoopee." Every last thing was in Amelia's car. She was stalling, dreading the moment when she actually got into her car and drove away.
It was only pride that was keeping me from bawling all over her.
"I think we're getting along pretty well," I said with a great effort at sounding cheerful. "I'm still not sure what I feel as opposed to what the bond is making me feel." It was kind of nice to be able to talk about my supernatural connection to Eric, as well as my regular old man-woman attraction. Even before my injuries during the Fae War, Eric and I had established what the vampires called a blood bond, since we'd exchanged blood several times. I could sense Eric's general location and his mood, and he could feel the same things about me. He was always faintly present in the back of my mind — sort of like turning on a fan or an air filter to provide a little buzz of noise that would help you get to sleep. (It was good for me that Eric slept all day, because I could be by myself at least part of the time. Maybe he felt the same way after I went to bed at night?) It wasn't like I heard voices in my head or anything — at least no more than usual. But if I felt happy, I had to check to make sure it was me and not Eric who felt happy. Likewise for anger; Eric was big on anger, controlled and carefully banked anger, especially lately. Maybe he was getting that from me. I was pretty full of anger myself these days.
I'd forgotten all about Amelia. I'd stepped right into my own trough of depression.
She snapped me out of it. "That's just a big fat excuse," she said tartly. "Come on, Sookie. You love him, or you don't. Don't keep putting off thinking about it by blaming everything on your bond. Wah, wah, wah. If you hate the bond so much, why haven't you explored how you can get free of it?" She took in the expression on my face, and the irritation faded out of her own. "Do you want me to ask Octavia?" she asked in a milder voice. "If anyone would know, she would."
"Yes, I'd like to find out," I said, after a moment. I took a deep breath. "You're right, I guess. I've been so depressed I've put off making any decisions, or acting on the ones I've already made. Eric's one of a kind. But I find him . . . a little overwhelming." He was a strong personality, and he was used to being the big fish in the pond. He also
knew he had infinite time ahead of him.
I did not.
He hadn't brought that up yet, but sooner or later, he would.
"Overwhelming or not, I love him," I continued. I'd never said it out loud. "And I guess that's the bottom line."
"I guess it is." Amelia tried to smile at me, but it was a woeful attempt. "Listen, you keep that up, the self-knowledge thing." She stood for a moment, her expression frozen into the half smile. "Well, Sook, I better get on the road. My dad's expecting me. He'll be all up in my business the minute I get back to New Orleans."
Amelia's dad was rich, powerful, and had no belief in Amelia's power at all. He was very wrong not to respect her witchcraft. Amelia had been born with the potential for the power in her, as every true witch is. Once Amelia had some more training and discipline, she was going to be really scary — scary on purpose, rather than because of the drastic nature of her mistakes. I hoped her mentor, Octavia, had a program in place to develop and train Amelia's talent.
After I waved Amelia down the driveway, the broad smile dropped from my face. I sat on the porch steps and cried. It didn't take much for me to be in tears these days, and my friend's departure was just the trigger now. There was so much to weep about.
My sister-in-law, Crystal, had been murdered. My brother's friend Mel had been executed. Tray and Claudine and Clancy the vampire had been killed in the line of duty. Since both Crystal and Claudine had been pregnant, that added two more deaths to the list.
Probably that should have made me long for peace above all else. But instead of turning into the Bon Temps Gandhi, in my heart I held the knowledge that there were plenty of people I wanted dead. I wasn't directly responsible for most of the deaths that were scattered in my wake, but I was haunted by the feeling that none of them would have happened if it weren't for me. In my darkest moments — and this was one of them — I wondered if my life was worth the price that had been paid for it.

Once I tried to cancel they lowered the price lower and lower. It felt like they were trying to squeeze every last cent out of me. They went from $189. a month to $59. a month and kept hounding and hounding trying to get anything they could get out of me. They are still calling today.
These people (29 prime) have never done what they said they were going to do! Very disappointed. A bad investment of $500.

Yesterday's Super Bowl parade in Pittsburgh had the usual accoutrements: black and yellow wardrobes, Terrible Towel waving, and obnoxious yelling. But you don't often see a player give back as much as Troy Polamalu.
As Polamalu's float paused along the parade route, he once again took the opportunity to leap into the pack of crazed Steeler fans for a little bit of celebratory crowd-surfing. Just as he did during the XL victory parade. His Samoan fearlessness is laudable.

KISS bassist Gene Simmons' mother, Flóra Klein, has died at age 92.
Klein's passing was first confirmed by Simmons' wife, Shannon Tweed Simmons.
"Rest in peace my dear Flora," Tweed wrote in a social media post. "The best grandma and mother in law I could ask for. You were loved and you will be missed."
Gene himself added that Flóra was "The best mother in the world."
Gene's band mate, Kiss front man Paul Stanley, added his own tribute.
"I knew here as long as I've known Gene," Stanley wrote. "Beyond her fierce love and pride in her only child, she was his inspiration to live up to being worthy of the sacrifices she made in a very difficult and, at times, horrific life."
Stanley continued, noting that he "admired and loved" Flóra, a Holocaust survivor and single mother, who left Israel for Queens, New York, in the 1950s in search of a better life.
"I will miss her laugh and smile," Stanley wrote. "Let us all say a prayer for her, Gene and his family."
Gene and Stanley together spoke earlier this year about Flóra's involvement in Kiss's early days.
Gene recalled at a Vault event this past spring in Las Vegas about how his mother once referred to Stanley as "a bum."
"Yup," Stanley confirmed, before elaborating. "I call his house and I want to talk to him and his mom, bless her heart...She has a thick accent and she thinks the world revolves around him — and that's what he thinks too. I call up and I say, 'Can I speak to Gene?' and she says, 'The king is on the throne.' And I go, 'Yeah, that's nice. Can I speak to Gene?'"
"'The king is on the throne,'" Stanley recalled her repeating. "I go, 'Nice, the king is on the throne. Can I speak to Gene?'"
Gene's mother repeated herself one more time before Stanley got the message: nature had called earlier and Gene was answering, moving his bowels.
Gene has often spoken lovingly over the years about his mother's influence on his life. He credits her with inspiring his work ethic, and with keeping him away from drug and alcohol abuse.
As an only child, Simmons said he would ask himself, in light of his mother's former suffering, "What right do I have to torture her and make her unhappy? No, that's never gonna happen."

Cubs promote Lake and place Bogusevic on DL
Prospect ranked ninth in organization, batted .295 at Triple-A Iowa
CHICAGO -- The Cubs on Friday promoted infielder/outfielder Junior Lake to the big league team to take the active roster spot of outfielder Brian Bogusevic, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list after he aggravated his hamstring in the first-half finale.
Lake, 23, batted .295 at Triple-A Iowa with four home runs, 10 doubles, two triples, 18 RBIs and 14 stolen bases. Ranked ninth on MLB.com's Top 20 Cubs prospects list, Lake was slowed this season by a back injury, and he did not join Iowa until June 6. This was his first stint at the Triple-A level.
Bogusevic, 29, is batting .261 in 13 games with the Cubs. He felt tightness in his left hamstring on July 4, and although he did not go on the disabled list at that time, he did not start until July 11. On Sunday at Wrigley Field against the Cardinals, he aggravated his leg chasing a ball and came out of the game. His DL assignment is retroactive to Monday.
Lake's promotion could be brief. Outfielder David DeJesus (sprained right shoulder) is working out in Mesa, Ariz., and could play in Rookie League games this week. If all goes well, he could be activated from the disabled list next week.
The Cubs are a little thin in the Minor Leagues in terms of outfield options. Ryan Sweeney is on the disabled list with fractured ribs. Outfielder Brett Jackson, on the Iowa team's disabled list with a calf injury, also is working out in Mesa. The Cubs recently claimed outfielder Cole Gillespie off waivers from the Giants.

Woman sentenced in Menifee car-surfing incident
A Homeland woman will spend her 20th birthday Monday in jail after surrendering Thursday to serve her sentence for part in a car-surfing stunt on a Menifee road in August.
Rather than face trial, Kara Marie Simmons pleaded guilty March 14 to drunken driving resulting in injuries. She received a sentence of 180 days in the Riverside County sheriff's custody and three years on probation.
A Riverside Superior Court judge ordered her to show up in a Southwest Justice Center courtroom Thursday to start serving her jail term, which was knocked down to 148 days based on credits for time already served.
"She got here just in time; we had one bed left," Judge Dennis McConaghy said when Simmons appeared before him.
Authorities arrested Simmons in the early morning hours of Aug. 10 on suspicion of drunken driving. Investigating officers learned she had been driving a 2002 Kia Rio west on Scott Road at about 35 to 40 mph along with three friends -- a woman riding in the front and two men in their 20s in the back.
The female passenger told an investigator that all of them had been drinking alcoholic beverages earlier. As they were traveling, she said the two men started trying to climb out of the Kia's rear window onto the roof.
Although she said she tried to prevent them from getting out, they succeeded in reaching the roof, after which Simmons braked to slow down, causing the men to tumble off the roof in front of the vehicle. Both men were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of moderate injuries.
While Simmons told the investigator she had braked because she was approaching a slower car, the friend said she tried to slow down after one of the men on the roof lost his hat and wanted to go back and get it.
California Highway Patrol officers arrested Simmons at the scene on suspicion of driving under the influence. A blood-alcohol sample taken later indicated she would have been above the legal limit at the time she was driving.
During Thursday's proceeding, Simmons' defense attorney asked the judge on her behalf if he would grant her permission to live with her fiance, whom he said was also on probation, after she gets out of jail.
McConaghy said there would be plenty of time for her probation officer to decide whether that's appropriate while she does her time.

Just not a fan of screwing the fans who have supported him all along. Modern players who are making over a million a year should have a sign for free policy. I have no problem paying the older players who make their money from autographs alone - but give back to the fans people!
