While the Roger Clemens news is obviously the story of the day, it's definitely worth mentioning that an MRI revealed that Phil Hughes' hammy injury isn't as bad as originally thought, more in line with a bad Grade I sprain than a Grade II job. The Yanks are still likely to take it easy with the kid an exhaust the 4-6 week time frame, but for some reason, it's easier to deal with that empty rotation spot now…

I'm wondering if it makes sense to give Shelly Duncan the Andy Phillips treatment at some point this year. The kid is raking in AAA, and while he is far from a prospect, there is little chance that he hits worst than Minky. He could probably approximate Josh Phelps with the added bonus of being a fifth outfielder.
Redsox Response Yankees getting Clemens.
They will trade for A's pitcher Rich Harden for Craig "I'm so great" Hansen, Big Papi bobblehead doll, and Matt Clement
(not 100% related, but u love lincecum, so…) im watching the game on espn, and so far he's thrown all fastballs, as of through 3 innings. He has to show the curve a little bit, or they will hit his fastball like ryan howard did over the centerfield fence. Also, it could just be the gun, but his fastball is topping out at 95 and is mostly about 93. I have read its in the high 90′s and even 100 on occasion.
Petes Quick quotes on Baseball Tonight;
Peter Gammons … Looked Ticked
"I did not expect Clemens to sign this quick" Sure Pete…..you knew just accept it !!!!!
"Yanks spent 28 Million what do you expect" LOL Pete…. Dice-K might end up being another IRABU!!!
"Roger is only 5 to 6 inning pictcher" Pete I looked up Clemens 2006 Numbers and I hate to tell you Pete… Roger went mostly 6 to 7 innings in most of his starts.
"Yankee bullpen will be a big question mark" Yes… Pete I agree but soon we will have 4 solid starters, If the Red Sox would of lost Beckett, Schilling and Dice-K how would the Sox pen be right now?
If Clemens would of signed with Red Sox Gammons comments would of been;
"Yes Clemens was dying to be a Red Sox thats why he came back early"
"If the Red Sox spent over 100 Million for Dice-K why not 28 Mill for Roger?"
" Roger can still go 7 or 8 innnings"
"Yes the Red Sox have the best bullpen in the AL"
I gotta say, before RAB I used to have to go to minorleaguebaseball.com to look up the scores for each of the Yankees affiliates. Now RAB does the job for me. Thanks guys.
Hey Mike, Do you know when The Yankees will promote Kevin Whelan to Scranton? Proctor had eight era against Boston. Thanks
The PECOTA Top 100
I go to school in Wilkes-barre and both the Duncans are pretty good ballplayers and are capable of big-league stuff, and Phillips just does whatever he wants in Scranton, his fielding is awful though.
Coming this June: The MLB draft on TV
The NFL and NBA drafts have been televised for years. Now, Major League Baseball is joining the trend.
For the first time in its history, the baseball entry draft will be aired live on ESPN2. Coverage will begin on Thursday, June 7th at 2 p.m. ET from Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida. The broadcast will end at 6 p.m. ET.
Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said the telecast, "will give fans access to see this critical function of an organization's development. This is an idea whose time has come."
Each team's first round pick will be televised and all clubs will have a maximum of five minutes to make their selections.
The Tampa Bay Devil Rays will have the first selection. The San Francisco Giants will have three picks in the first round, while the Toronto Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers will each have two first round choices.
The draft will have 50 rounds and will conclude after all 30 teams have passed on a selection or after the final selection of the 50th round, whichever comes first. [QUOTE][/quote]
Yankees are now on The clock. It will be exciting when Bud Selig announces " With #30 pick of Mlb Draft, Yankees select Catcher Mitch Canham"

Hi Gang; I now have the cub completely torn apart. I have been lucky finding replacements for some of the worn and broken parts. Still there is a lot of work to be done before I start to reassemble her. I have used electrolisis, wire brushes, sandblasting, and Easy-off to remove three coats off paint. I have been using a cheap primer(Krylon) to keep the parts from rusting until I could get it all finished. I was told that wasn't a good primer to be using. I will not be able to use anything until mid-March
because I will have to paint outside. I need to know what kind of primer to use? I have a HVLP spray gun and no experience, so be gentle. Thanks, Basketcase
While you're waiting for spring, do some reading on this bulletin board. I think you will find it useful.

I agree, I wouldn't use Krylon I don't think. You will have a lot of time and money into your Cub and I don't think the primer coat is the place to go cheap. I'm no expert but I've had pretty good luck in the past with standard red oxide primer on my working tractor.
That being said, I'm preparing to restore a Cub and a Super A I bought last year and I'm about convinced that I will be moving up to an epoxy primer. I've heard nothing but good things from people who have used it. They are a bit more expensive and I suppose that characteristics vary between types and brands. The better brands are said to grip metal like like nobodys business and so don't scratch or chip easily. They fill small imperfections nicely. They also have a rust preventative and require fewer coats (the brand I'm thinking of using suggests only a single coat).
I'm told by a body shop friend that epoxy primers reduce the need for rust inhibitors, most glazing compound, multiple coats and re-primering - and so in the end it is probably a better paint job for about the same money as the cheaper primers.
Thanks Don and Slappy;
I think I might be in over my head. I am considering having someone paint the old gal for me. I feel I have invested to much time and labor to screw it up now. I don't have any experience with a spray gun, and I would like this to turn out well. Thanks again Basketcase
Basket , If they didn't scare you off I would go to your nearest auto body ,paint store and ask for their help in choosing the best paint for a novice painter.I used the Iron Guard paint sold by IH It was good paint and primer You need to use the same material or compatable material so the paint will work with the primer I refain from using Krylon do to to fact that it takes @ 60 days to harden and the rattle cans don't contain the hardener that will give you the gloss shine that you will really want . I have a HVLP gun and I haven't used the 2 stage paints . but I may use it on the next cub good luck Just rember that you will always have time to do it right the second time.Good luck Steve

Basketcase, don't get scared off yet, If I can paint a tractor anyone can!! Practice a little first on a few things that aren't so important, I painted a wagon and my car!!!
It's a real nice feeling when someone asks " Wow, who painted your tractor?" and you can say " I did.
V.P. of T.S.A. (taking stuff apart)
Parts man is right, you shouldn't be scared off. The HVLP guns and new paints available make it eaiser than ever for beginners like us to lay down a pretty good paint job on our first try. There are also some videos out on painting tractors that might help. Learn a few basic techniques from a video or book, practice on a few items laying around the barn (I have two sets of metal shelves and a refrigerator in my barn painted Farmall Red that I practiced on) and I think you'll find it's a lot of fun and as Parts Man said, very rewarding.
mmm...IH2150 on the car....
I too, have a new HVLP gun. going to paint on Primer Pete after a trial run on a CC125 worker tractor for my son. He's getting pretty proficient on the MIG, so I've got to learn to paint. Need a water trap for the compressor, though.
'If they're tappin', they're not burnin'
Basketcase, if your paint job doesn't turn out quite as you wanted, you can always be creative. I once used Van Sickle paint Ford tractor blue to paint my 63 Chevy pickup using a Wagner airless gun outside. Turned out pretty good, except that the dew fell before it dried. When people asked about the dull finish on the hood, I just told tham that since I was driving toward the sun morning and evening I did that to cut down on the glare. Don't know what I would have said if they had ever looked at the top of the cab.

Thanks again fellas. I plan on talking to a pro sometime in the near future. My problem is I am only able to strip and blast 1or2 parts a week. I was using the krylon primer to keep the parts from rusting. I guess I will need to go back and remove the Krylon and re-prime the parts with the good stuff. Have no fear, I am having a ball working on this little darling. Basketcase
Not that I am an authority, but I have been around spray guns for over 30 years. Primarily with lacquers and catalytics. I painted my snow plow on Ellie-Mae a couple of weeks ago. Used a good epoxy based primer and an acrylic enamel paint. Turned out pretty good for a guy not used to using automotive type material.
Couple points. Biggest and most important part in painting is getting the prep done right. Once the prep is done, then prime. Mix up 1/2 pint at a time until you are comfortable with what is going on as you learn about your gun. Spray light but not thin coats and do edges first. Smooth strokes side to side with a slight overlap. Once you have it all primed, then comes the good part.
Taking your time (within reason of course and according to the wet time of the product you are using), don't rush.... biggest mistake anyone makes in finishing anything is to rush the process... don't do that.
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Somebody always has to crash the party. Painting with the paint material that is used in today's automotive industry without the proper equipment is deadly. I know because I was a victim of high concentrations of Trimethyl Benzene in my blood which caused in my Doctors opinion tumors around my Thyroid Gland. Trimethyl Benzene is one of the chemicals used in the hardener additive you add to the paint before application. Also I had high concentration of Aromatic 100 another chemical used in the hardener additive.
At one time, every weekend was occupied with a painting project. I was safety minded and used the proper equipment but, the Doctor said the chemical must of absorbed through my skin. I always rolled my sleeves up because; the protective clothing bothered me around my arms when spraying.
After my surgery which was four years ago, my Doctor put a scare into me that I will never forget about the hazards of air born chemicals if you don't use the proper equipment.
The safety equipment I used is about 10 years old and outdated for the automotive industry now. When I purchased it the cost was about $1200 dollars. (Respiratory & Clothing material)
Now the automotive manufactures use computerized robots to paint their products in the factories. The automotive repair shops have built in paint booths with their own ventilation system and the painter uses equipment that resembles an astronaut.
The auto shop I work which incorporates a body shop, suspended an employee for three days for just walking in a paint booth with out the ventilation system operating. He had the proper equipment on and there was no paint work being done at the time. All he wanted to do was look at the repair he did one hour before.
Yes I still paint my own things only but, I cover myself like a Mummy.
End of sermon.
Jack Fowler
I'm really good at doing nothing…With that said…I'm really, really good at doing nothing
IH did not put primer on the Cubs until about 1960 or so.
I am positive there was no primer used on the Cubs from 1947 until 1955.
I have not been able to track down exactly when they started primeing the Cubs. I have to spend more time in the archives. Study production photos and paint committee decisions.
30 + tractors including 2 French Super Cubs, French Cubs, 1963 Industrial Cub, 1955 Cub Highcrop etc...German and French built IH tractors and some bigger IH tractors. Of course I have about 20 IH trucks and an IH refridge in the Shop.
Thank you, Jack,
I've not had a paint gun in my hand for nearly four years. There's absolutely no way I would ever consider using any more of the exotic paints, or even hardener...ever again. The risks are simply not worth it.
My pulmonary specialist says my lungs are now stable at 60% of what they should be. He has said I could try a little spraying on the huge backlog of stuff with proper precautions when it gets warm enough to see how it goes. You can be sure I will only use simple enamel if I do pick up a gun again.
It's tough to not be able to paint my projects after enjoying the transformations since the early 60's.

The Ruby On Rails cheat sheet is designed to be printed on an A4 sheet of paper and live by a developers desk, to make life a bit easier. A description of what is on the cheat sheet follows, or if you are impatient, you can go straight to the full size Ruby On Rails cheat sheet.
I am no expert in Ruby, On Rails or off, so to ensure this cheat sheet was as useful as possible, I pestered the very helpful Amy Hoy of (24)Slash7 and David Heinemeier Hansson of Loud Thinking into giving me a hand. Thanks, both of you - I appreciate it. In the same vein, though the cheat sheet has been checked there is a chance there is the occasional typo - if anybody spots a mistake (or something that could be worded better) please let me know.
Default Directory Structure
Ruby on Rails by default uses a rather large selection of folders and files, organised into a directory structure. This is a great feature, but does occasionally lead to people getting slightly lost and forgetting where to find something, especially if what they are looking for is something they use infrequently. This section shows visually the default directory structure of a Ruby on Rails site.
Pre-Defined Variables
Ruby on Rails, like most languages, includes a large number of predefined variables. These shorthand variable names are often tricky to dig out from the back of the mind when actually needed, so here is a convenient list of the most useful of them.
Reserved Words
In much the same way as Pre-defined variables, Ruby on Rails makes use of reserved words and these are also often not easy to remember. Using them out of context can cause all sorts of problems, so this list is provided to ensure that doesn't happen. Ignore it at your peril!
Regular Expression Syntax
It seems that no matter the language, most developers always spend some time stumbling through regular expressions before they are comfortable with them. Ruby on Rails is no different, and the regular expression syntax is the same familiar syntax as used in PHP and Perl. This section outlines the building blocks of patterns in regular expressions for Ruby on Rails.
Ruby on Rails is very much an object oriented language. Every object has methods. These sections list the useful methods for working with String, Array, Time and Regex objects. It also lists validation methods and methods from the enumerables mixin - which are some of the most looked-up.
So now that you know what it does, please feel free to print out the Ruby on Rails cheat sheet:
And finally, if you like the cheat sheets, and want to say thanks, please consider buying me something from my Amazon Wishlist. Thankyou very much to those who have already hunted it down and sent me something nice - I'm very grateful!
Please note: If you wish to link to the Ruby on Rails cheat sheet from elsewhere, please link to this page so others find the description, rather than linking directly to the sheet.

Some kids are thrilled to hear the phrase "snow day." That excitement may dwindle when they find out school won't end in May.
"Due to snow," said Ottumwa school Superintendent Davis Eidahl, "the last day of student instruction will be June 10."
It had originally been scheduled for an end date of May 31. It might have been even later than the June 10 date, but the school board decided to postpone a teacher training day in April, which will now be a normal day of instruction.
Between late starts, cancellations and shorter days, kids were getting an unsteady educational diet.
"It's been a while since we've had a full, uninterrupted week of instruction," Eidahl said. "That's important."
But so too is teacher development, the professional training that gives teachers the latest tools to bring back to the classroom in an effort to boost student achievement.
But there are some lessons for teachers that, with a bit of creative rescheduling, can be put off for a few months. The April professional development day will be pushed back to June 11 — the day after the last day for kids.
What about weather dates scheduled in anticipation of a snow day or three?
"We don't have any snow days built into our calendar," said Eidahl.
Some districts do, he acknowledged. For example, if there's one snow day, they add it on to the end of the year. If there's a second, they make Presidents' Day a go-to-school day. Or they simply cancel spring break. In this district, he said, a number of Ottumwa employees have certain holidays off by contract. And stakeholders have said canceling spring break should be a last resort; Eidahl said suddenly doing so would be unfair to families that have plans.
In Eldon, the Cardinal school district says families with plans should call the school. At their most recent school board meeting, the decision was made to have a snow make-up day on April 1, which was going to be part of spring break. April 12 was going to be a professional development day at Cardinal but will now be a normal school day. The same is true for May 10.
The result of all this juggling at Cardinal? Students' last day of school will be May 30 — and it'll be an early dismissal day.

When Justin Rogers sat out last week's preseason finale against the Detroit Lions, it was assumed he'd be starting opposite Leodis McKelvin at cornerback in Sunday's season opener against New England in place of the injured Stephon Gilmore.
While that still may be the case, Bills coach Doug Marrone has pumped the brakes on calling Rogers, McKelvin or anyone else on the roster a starter.
"We have four corners that we're rotating through right now depending on what packages and what personnel groups are out there," Marrone said, referring to McKelvin, Rogers, Nickell Robey and Ron Brooks. "We'll make that decision as the week goes on who takes the first snap."
McKelvin and Rogers did line up with the first team Monday at practice. The Bills also claimed Brandon Burton off waivers from Minnesota. Marrone said the team likes Burton's size (5-foot-11, 190 pounds) and ability to play press coverage.
But with less than a week to learn a new defensive scheme, it would seem the Bills will be leaning on McKelvin, Rogers, Brooks and Robey to defend Tom Brady and the Patriots' offense. New England has averaged 40 points per game in their last six against Buffalo, going 5-1 in that time.
"I feel we're going to get great production out of those guys we put out there. Right now we're planning on putting people out there rotating through and getting the same amount of production," Marrone said. "Obviously it's difficult; Stephon Gilmore is a very good player for us. We have to try to get that same productivity out of a couple of players now rather than what we were getting out of one."

NORMAN — A local family is reuniting for the 19th year to host the annual Sullivan Family Holiday Concert benefiting The Women's Resource Center at 7 p.m. today at Catlett Music Center, 500 W. Boyd.
Though the concert has free admissions, donations — large and small — are accepted for the center during the concert. Debbie Copp, president of WRC board of directors, said the Sullivan family's concert makes a big difference for the center.
"Any time you're the president or on the board of or on the staff of a nonprofit, anything you can do to raise funds is a godsend," Copp said.
WRC provides emergency and temporary shelter and services to victims of domestic violence, sexual violence and stalking. The shelter also provides services to children who come with their guardians, and in emergency situations, provides a safe place for male victims of domestic violence. Programs include: Domestic Violence Shelter, Domestic Violence Crisis Line, Children's Program, Sexual Violence Crisis Line, Rape Crisis Center, Court Advocacy and a variety of support groups. All services are free of charge.
Since the concerts began, family matriarch Elizabeth "Betty" Sullivan said every year's performance has showcased the music family members are performing around the country. Family members over the years have included Sullivan, Sullivan's late husband, Jim, and their children Pat, KT, Heather, Stacy, Tim, Mike, Danny and Shawn. Several of the Sullivan children enjoy professional careers as musicians and entertainers.
This year's concert includes four generations of Sullivan's, including Sullivan, several of her children, as well as Sullivan's 13-year-old grandson, Montana, playing the piano, and Elizabeth Sullivan's 7-year-old great-granddaughter, Blythe, singing.
"We do some classic songs, some originals, some standards," said Sullivan, about the music performed at the concert. "We're going to run the full gamut of musical expression. Some of it will be original. The whole end of our show is dedicated to the season. It's not a traditional Christmas concert in that we do everything."
Sullivan said she hopes audience members are filled with a sense of charity upon leaving the concert.
"I want them to be filled with hope and the feeling we really should have in this season, this season of hope and love for one another and helping one another," she said.

I cover the accounting industry and accounting issues for investors.
Yesterday's threat by the New York State Department of Financial Services to strip Standard Chartered PLC of its license to do business in the state for its alleged illegal dealings with Iranian banks is not the first time the U.K. bank has tangled with U.S. regulators.
Back in October 2004, New York State and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York issued an enforcement order to Standard Chartered Bank requiring it to "adopt sound" Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering practices with respect to foreign bank correspondent accounts. That order also required the bank to hire an independent consultant who would report periodically on the bank's progress to the regulators and conduct a retrospective transaction review, or "look back" review, covering the period July 2002 through October 2004.
Deloitte was chosen as the "independent" consultant. But it didn't take very long for Deloitte to become more than just an "independent" consultant hired to help it fix its BSA/AML issues.
According to the results of a New York DFS investigation published yesterday, before long Deloitte had morphed from "independent" consultant, in service to the regulators, to "service provider". As a "service provider" Deloitte apparently aided and abetted the bank's continued illegal activities by sharing confidential information about other clients' similar illegal activities and "watering down" reports to the regulators.
There's big temptation for Deloitte or any of the Big Four audit firms who get the growing number of plum "governance, risk and compliance" roles as supposedly "independent" consultants to the banks. There are so many consent decrees and settlement subjects looking for help to reassure regulators they are on the straight and narrow now, it's inevitable that the auditors would look at the banks and see dollar signs from future work rather than scofflaws who need to be scrutinized.
Being adversarial is not profitable.
Based on the Standard Chartered Bank experience, it's clear to me that a Big Four firm that wants to grow its consulting business is sorely tempted to "work with" a client it wants to do business with in the future, as a consultant or even as a future auditor.
"Reputation risk" doesn't get in the way of audit firms helping criminal banks do illegal things. "Reputation risk" is now an oxymoron. Bankers and their enablers, the audit firms, have no risk to their reputation from anyone that matters. They are both repeatedly the subject of settlements, consent decrees, non-prosecution agreements, cease and desist orders and the rest of the regulator arsenal. They keep profiting and repeating their crimes with impunity.
That's what I warned about when Deloitte was awarded the "independent" consultant role at JP Morgan Chase, performing the "look back" review required by the OCC/Fed consent decrees signed with a dozen banks in April of 2011 as a result of foreclosure abuses. Deloitte has an even bigger incentive to cheat and look out for JPM Chase and itself on that engagement, rather than borrowers who were cheated by the bank. Most of the foreclosures Deloitte is "independently" reviewing are based on mortgages acquired by JPM from Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual, two of Deloitte's audit clients before those institutions failed and were taken over by JPM.
When Deloitte finds a problem with mortgages and foreclosures by Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual at JPM, the firm is highlighting controls and fraud it missed while auditor of those firms. And it's costing lucrative consulting client JPM more money in payouts to borrowers.
Fat chance…
According to the New York DFS, in August and September 2005, Deloitte "unlawfully gave [Standard Chartered Bank] confidential historical transaction review reports that it had prepared for two other major foreign banking clients that were under investigation for OFAC violations and money laundering activities."
Now that SCB knew what the regulators were looking for, executives asked Deloitte to delete any references to the types of payments that could ultimately reveal their illegal activities from its draft "independent" report. A Deloitte partner, the Global Leader of Deloitte's Anti-Money Laundering/Trade Sanctions practice reported to have been lawyer Michael Zeldin, admitted in an email obtained by the regulators that he had agreed to the bank's request because "this is too much and too politically sensitive for both Standard Chartered Bank and Deloitte. That is why I drafted the watered-down version."
Deloitte has not yet confirmed or denied the identity of the partner named in the report.
Deloitte's Financial Advisory Services consultants are also acting as an "independent " consultant in another BSA/AML case. The firm has been running the meter as a "look back" reviewer of transactions at HSBC after that bank was cited for multiple anti-money laundering failures. Reuters reported last month that HSBC managers were more concerned with clearing out paperwork as fast as possible than in investigating transactions linked to illegal activities. HSBC is now hiring PwC to supplement the work that needs to be done after coming under additional fire for lack of progress in addressing problems from a Congressional investigation.
KPMG is the external auditor of both Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC. That firm clearly missed the boat on spotting illegal activities for years at both.
Deloitte is a major contractor for the US government. Its federal services arm was bolstered considerably by the 2009 acquisition of BearingPoint's federal services practice when that firm – a spinoff from KPMG in 1999, went bankrupt. But as the only Big Four firm to not sell its consulting arm after the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley and the introduction of new scope of services restrictions to support more auditor independence, Deloitte is the biggest and strongest of all the firms in technology and systems implementation, in particular. So, it would not surprise me at all to find that Deloitte helped the bank with the challenges described in the DFS document that I've highlighted in bold:
SCB instead conspired with Iranian Clients to transmit misinformation to the New York branch by removing and otherwise misrepresenting wire transfer data that could identify Iranian parties. For example, regarding necessary wire transfer documentation, SCB instructed CBI/Markazi to "send in their MT202's18 with a [SCB London"s business identifier code] as this is what we required them to do in the initial set up of the account. Therefore, the payments going to NY do not appear to NY to have come from an Iranian Bank." (emphasis added).
SCB also accomplished this subterfuge by: (a) inserting special characters (such as ".") in electronic message fields used to identify transacting parties; (b) inserting phrases such as "NO NAME GIVEN" or "NOT STATED" in lieu of requested information that would identify Iranian Clients; and (c) employing a system known as SCB"s "repair procedure," whereby SCB overseas employees screened payment messages – before they were communicated to its New York branch – in order to ascertain if any messages contained information that identified Iranian Clients.
SCB understood that simply omitting Iranian Client information on SWIFT MT 202 payment messages going to New York was insufficient because the electronic payment system would automatically fill in blank data fields, identifying the Iranian Client. Consequently, in order to disguise the transactions effectively and thereby avoid regulatory scrutiny, SCB made false and misleading entries in SWIFT "field 52," a data field that would identify the Iranian party…
Senior SCB management memorialized many of these procedures in formal operating manuals. One such manual entitled, "Quality Operating Procedure Iranian Bank Processing," directed SCB London employees to "repair payment[s] by making appropriate changes" to transacting party codes. It provided step-by-step wire stripping instructions for any payment messages containing information that would identify Iranian Clients. An example directive read: "[e]nsure that if the field 52 of the payment is blank or displayes [sic] any SWIFT code that it is overtyped at the repair stage to a "." This will change the outgoing field 52 on the MT103 to a field 52D of "." Or, in the case of a "normal" MT202 instruction change the field 52 on the outgoing MT202 to [SCB"s New York branch] to a "." (Note: if this is not done then the Iranian Bank SWIFT code may appear – depending on routing – on the payment message being sent to [the New York branch])."
An instruction on that manual's cover stressed that "this procedure is a mandatory requirement" and that "[a]mendment is not permitted without prior approval of the Head of Cash Management Services UK Quality System." SCB"s chief lawyer in charge of Legal & Compliance for its Wholesale Bank division commented to other senior legal and compliance staff that the document, "read in isolation, is clearly . . . designed to hide, deliberately, the Iranian connection of payments."
These masking procedures evolved to meet SCB"s growing volume demands. When SCB anticipated that its business with Iranian Clients would grow too large for SCB employees to "repair" manually the instructions for New York bound wire transfers, SCB automated the process by building an electronic repair system with "specific repair queues," for each Iranian Client.
Deloitte is also the auditor for the Federal Reserve Bank, which is kind of ironic since it was supposedly preparing reports on behalf of one client, Standard Chartered Bank, to lie to another client, the Fed.
Deloitte is under fire in several other places including overseas. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which regulates US audit firms, disclosed private portions of a Deloitte inspection report for 2007 that highlighted poor quality and administrative controls. The disclosure came after several years of legal wrangling by the firm, appeals to the SEC and stonewalling on even acknowledging the issues.
In 2011 Deloitte was criticized for failing to report possible fraud at Kabul Bank in Afghanistan. They lost the contract to provide technical assistance to its central bank.
Deloitte's Chinese member firm has resigned or been dismissed as the auditor by seven US-listed Chinese companies as a result of suspected fraud. Deloitte is a defendant in lawsuits for several and also subject to an administrative order from the SEC to turn over workpapers from some of the audits. So far it has refused based on a desire to respect Chinese state secrecy laws.
How ironic.
How long do we continue to allow common criminals to perpertrate fraud after fraud, discuss it between themselves, be told by lawyers it's dicey at best and blatantly illegal at worst and do nothing. What kind of jackasses support such behavior. I would have been in jail years ago had I tried such schemes, but these guys expect to pay a fine or a settlement that represents but a small portion of their ill-gotten gains. We need jail terms and personal fines with effective action against the banks. Can't figure out how to break them up? Hit one with a fine so large they have to start shedding parts to survive and watch the unbreakable financial behemoth start to come apart.
I continue to say restore sanity, restore Glass-Stegall.
This insane series of criminal compliance breaches gives a whole new meaning to the acronym 'Keep the Profit and Manage the Greed'.
Not surprised at all. Deloitte's Financial Advisory Group ("FAS") is run using bullying tactics driven by the lead partners in that group, and especially the Northeast Region, who often push people to do the wrong thing in the name of compliance and regulation.
FAS brings in about 4 percent of the revenue at Deloitte, but based on many of the findings in the PCAOB report, I suspect that an overwhelming share of the problems are related to this group of specialists and its conflict of interest with Deloitte's auditors.
Unfortunately, the FAS leadership often uses heavy-handed tactics to bully its employees into compromising their values and doing the wrong thing. Deloitte's Office of General Consul is also conflicted as this group attempts to do damage control against any potential whistle blower.
While I understand that Deloitte is not the only firm that has groups run in this way; I am surprised that they are able to keep working in this way, and will continue to be able to sell themselves as independent consultants in the name of compliance, especially given the same criticism engagement after engagement.

CHICAGO (AP) — Employees at a high-rise jail in downtown Chicago knew something wasn't right when they arrived to work and saw a makeshift rope fashioned from bed sheets hanging from the bars of a cell window about 20 stories above the ground.
Inside the jail cell Tuesday morning, investigators found a broken window and bars inside a mattress, according to an FBI affidavit. Stuffed under blankets on two beds were clothing and sheets, shaped to resemble a body, the affidavit said.
Authorities believe it was the handiwork of two daring convicted bank robbers — the first inmates to escape from the federal facility in nearly two decades. They remained at large early Wednesday.
What's less clear is when Joseph "Jose" Banks and Kenneth Conley managed to flee, apparently by scaling down the roughly 20 stories from the cell they once shared.
The affidavit states both men were in their assigned area of the jail for a headcount around 10 p.m. Monday.
U.S. Marshals Service spokeswoman Belkis Cantor said they were unaccounted for during a 5 a.m. headcount. That count is not mentioned in the FBI affidavit, which states that jail employees noticed the makeshift rope around 7 a.m. and that Banks and Conley were not present for a subsequent headcount.
The owner of a shop near the jail said police helicopters and canine units didn't start swarming the area until close to 8:30 a.m.
Hours after the escape, the rope of bed sheets could be seen dangling down the side of the Metropolitan Correctional Center. At least 200 feet long and knotted about every 6 feet, the rope was hanging from a window that was 6 feet tall but only 6 inches in diameter.
It appeared to illustrate a meticulously planned escape from the 27-story facility that came a week after Banks made a courtroom vow of retribution. Both men are facing hefty prison sentences, and the FBI said they should be considered armed and dangerous.

Ground-zero hunting technique
From Cacheopedia
Revision as of 14:08, 13 February 2006 by 220.127.116.11 (Talk)
Just a few random thoughts for now: edscott
- Mark the spot and keep track of where it is. If it is truly the center of your search, then don't let your focus continue to drift in one direction unless there are definite clues that take you that way.
- Look for that flattened patch of leaves or bare scuffed soil where everyone stands as they open the box, and where they sit to write in the log.
- Look for the path from the closest trail to the flattened patch of leaves.
- Look for that tree... rock...stump... that just screams CACHE to you. It probably did the same to them also.
- Look for an unusual grouping of natural objects. Nature is not very concerned with order and neatness. Sticks seldom fall into hollow trees or under rocks and lay there in nice piles all the same size, and all the same length. Rocks seldom pile themselves into small cairns.
- Look for no moss or lichen. If a group of rocks are moss or lichen covered except for one, that one has recently been turned over so that you are seeing what used to be the underside Could have been turned over by a previous searcher, but maybe for a good reason.
- Look for the broken branches in the evergreen tree, the bent lamp post skirt, the extra bolt.
- Look up. Things are not always on the ground.
- Look back. We tend to think we didn't go far enough when we don't find it. Maybe you already passed it.
- Look around. Circle the ground zero at an ever increasing distance while looking for all the above clues rather than making straight line plunges away from ground zero and back. You should find the bare spot or path to it much more quickly.

Jon Hamm would save Superman. He has the range, screen presscene and ability to play Supes. Why was Reeve good at Superman? It was because he was a trained actor, not some boy who was heading to his Abercrombie and Fitch catalog shoot. Routh will NEVER be Superman in this generation. Welling had already earned the mantle of Superman when Return hit the screen. People wanted to see Welling be Superman, not some monkey faced hack who only got the job because he looked like the guy who played Superman before we were born. With Smallville coming to an end and Welling deciding to move on to being a producer, it's a perfect time to reintroduce Superman.
Jon Hamm is 39, sure, but Superman is the father of all superheroes. He is the oldest and the first. He inspired all other DC–every Superhero, but DC superheroes look up to Superman as their inspiration, while Marvel heros can't say Superman inspired them–superhero. He shouldn't look younger than Bale, he should be in his age group (Bale is 36). He should be as good an actor, if not better, than Christian Bale. Routh can't act! Supes needs an actor, not some model look-alike trying to do his best Reeve imitation.

Revolution combines the sensibilities of Cirque du Soleil's "LOVE" with Light Group's nightlife experience, offering both a bar and full-fledged nightclub, giving you options for exactly the kind of nightlife experience you want. The association with The Beatles might leave you expecting a poorly-themed gimmick, but Revolution surpasses that easily.
The bar at the front looks like a cooler version of what poets and artists in the '60s must have imagined a bar would look like in 2010, with lots of rounded, polished white surfaces, a shiny bar top and seating located inside the letters of the massive "REVOLUTION" sign that faces the rest of The Mirage resort. The bar hours are longer than the club's hours, so you can still stop by for a drink or two without hitting the club.
The nightclub in the back carries a lot of that same look, but with the lighter elements replaced with subdued and dark surfaces with multicolored lighting. Psychedelic columns prop up the seating facing both the bar and dance floor areas.
Revolution is a smaller venue among the rest of the Vegas club scene, but still feels plenty roomy when it's packed on the weekends, with VIP seating toward the sides of the DJ booth and the back, past the bar. The tables here are more fun than your average nightclub table, letting VIPs draw on the table surface with their hands, interacting with the patterns projecting on to the club's light-up columns. You can expect to find a soundtrack of EDM with interspersed mashups most nights, but Revolution serves up the "Revolucion Latina" Latin night, "Good Foot" hip-hop night and "Closet Sundays" for any and all to get their dance on to their favorite groove.
Ironically, the best way Revolution captures the near-universal appeal of The Beatles is to forgo any sort of inevitably cheesy Beatles theme almost entirely. There are a lot of touches you might associate with the band's psychedelic era, from the trippy video screens, to the "diamonds" in the sky (see what they did there?) but really they're just very cool details that make for a timeless experience that anyone can enjoy, just like the music of a certain band from Liverpool.

Weatherford Democrat
— By CHRISTIN COYNE
A suspect in a March 9, 2012, home invasion where a couple was robbed at gunpoint pleaded guilty Friday to aggravated robbery and received a 30-year sentence, according to Assistant District Attorney Robert DuBoise.
Daniel Wayne Anderson, 29, of Weatherford, was one of three suspects indicted on aggravated robbery charges in the case where the man and woman said two men wearing hooded sweatshirts knocked on their door in 100 block of Cahill Court and forced their way inside after the door was answered.
Anderson, along with David Alberto Dozal, held the couple at gunpoint, at one point making them lie on the living room floor as they took jewelry, firearms, a purse and a wallet, the sheriff's office reported.
Investigators obtained a video surveillance recording from a convenience store at the intersection of Garner Road and U.S. Highway 180 depicting a blue passenger car being driven by an apparent blond-haired woman and two male passengers.
Investigators reportedly searched Dozal's residence and found property that had been reported stolen in the robbery after Anderson was arrested in connection with several burglaries around the same time period, including one where his neighbor photographed a ring that had been reported stolen in a burglary being worn by a woman living with Anderson.
Dozal is scheduled to go on trial Monday.
Tire iron beating
One of two men accused in the tire iron beating last October of a juvenile as he was walking down South Main Street pleaded guilty Thursday to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and received a 25-year sentence, according to DuBoise.
David Anthony Sanchez, 28, was charged in the beating that reportedly left the juvenile with a laceration to the head requiring seven staples.
Juan Daniel Garcia, 18, has also been charged in the attack.
Three juvenile males reported they were walking down the street near a restaurant when two men in an SUV told them to go away.
Later, as they were walking on the other side of the street, the vehicle pulled into a parking lot behind them and the driver reportedly went after one boy with a tire iron while the passenger chased another boy and attempted to punch him, police say the teens reported.
A short time later, police reportedly located a vehicle matching the description and partial license plate number at a nearby house and found Sanchez in bed, fully dressed.
Garcia's case is pending trial.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- Whatever Rod Stewart did in Tucson, Tucson forgives him. The Arizona Daily Star reports the British TV show "Loose Women" contacted Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild because Stewart has an autobiography coming out and says he's banned in Tucson. Rothschild says he doesn't know what Stewart did, but he's welcome there. A 2005 Stewart biography says The Faces trashed several rooms and a miniature train at an unidentified Tucson hotel because the hotel bar was temporarily closed. The Faces returned to Tucson and Stewart checked in under an assumed name: "Fleetwood Mac." The band trashed their rooms again. Stewart says he's delighted he's allowed back.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Legendary Sooner radio voice Bob Barry Sr., one of Norman and Oklahoma's most well known broadcasting personalities, was found dead Sunday morning.
Barry's Norman neighbors became concerned that he had not picked up his Sunday newspaper. He was found dead inside his home.
Services will be 2 p.m. Thursday at St. John's Episcopal Church in Norman, under the direction of Primrose Funeral Service of Norman.
Barry, 80, retired from his OU broadcasting duties in spring 2011 and was active in the Norman community where he lived for more than 50 years. He had only recently rejoined the Norman Rotary Club and was scheduled to lead Norman's Christmas Holiday Parade on Dec. 10.
"Bob Barry represented the best of the Sooner spirit," OU President David L. Boren said Sunday. "With his contagious enthusiasm, he was one of the best sports broadcast journalists in the entire nation. He was loved by Oklahomans all across our entire state and will be missed by all of us."
Barry, an Oklahoma City native, began his career in broadcasting in 1956 at Norman radio station KNOR as a salesman, disc jockey and sportscaster calling Norman High games.
When he was 7, in June 1938, he had fallen from an upstairs window and his injuries forced him to stay in bed for eight weeks. He had a radio to keep him company and he listened to dozens of baseball games. That led him to seek out a career in broadcasting, Barry was quoted as saying in the recently released book "Voice of Bedlam: The Life of Bob Barry."
In 1961, OU football coach Bud Wilkinson selected Barry to call football and basketball games. Barry stopped calling games for OU when the radio rights changed in 1972. He called games for a season at Tulsa University and then for a several years at Oklahoma State University. He was also a sports anchor and sports director at KFOR until 1997.
Barry returned to OU in 1991 doing play by play for the Sooners. He held onto the position until he retired after last year's basketball season. OU's Gaylord College of Journalism honored him during homecoming festivities on Oct. 22. A fund that student sports journalists can use when covering out-of-town games was dedicated to Barry.
Gaylord College Dean Dr. Joe Foote, who helped Barry in some early OU basketball broadcasts, noted that Barry's warmth and charisma carried through to listeners.
"Bob would have been a special person even if he had never ventured into the OU sporting world," Foote said.
The two had a special connection.
"He was my hero growing up as a child," Foote said. "It was as close to hero worship as I've ever come."
He said Barry used a time-tested method to prepare for and call games.
"Fans were able to follow because of his method. He had this way of keeping track and he had a rhythm to it. I think Bob's intensity and focus on the game matched the fans' focus on the games," Foote said. "He was a fan's announcer, not a casual person's announcer. He was a creature of radio, and he clearly understood how radio was different."
Broadcaster Michael Dean worked with Barry for 20 years as producer-engineer of OU football and basketball radio network broadcasts. He listened to Barry's Sooner football broadcasts as a child in Kansas and when he visited relatives in Norman.
When he got the chance to work with him in 1991, it was a "dream job" for Dean. He later co-wrote the book on Barry with Oklahoma City attorney Bob Burke.
"Of all the guys I ever worked with over the years in radio and knew in television, he most was the most genuine, regular kind of guy," Dean said. "He was just doing what he loved."
"Every morning, he'd get up and was thankful he was doing play-by-play for OU and the same thing when he worked for OSU," Dean said.
Dean said Barry never thought of himself as a celebrity, even thinking there was not enough in his life to merit a book.
"In that 20 years that we worked together, he became as much a part of our family as any one else in the family," he said.
Dean saw Barry at the weekly OU football press conferences and, only this week, said how much he was enjoying life and felt great. OU had given him a press box seat next to his son, Bob Jr.,
"It was really the first opportunity he had to watch games with Bob," Dean said.
OU Football Coach Bob Stoops said Barry was loved by fans throughout the country.
"We send our condolences to Bob's family and thank them for sharing him with us for so many years. I know this is a difficult time for them, but hope they can find comfort in a life well-lived and the love of countless fans all over the country," Stoops said.
Barry was awarded Oklahoma's Sportscaster of the Year by the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters and was inducted into the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame, the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame and the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame. In 2008, he was recognized as a distinguished alumni by the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Oklahoma.
OU recognized him as a distinguished alumni in 2010.
Barry graduated from Classen High School in 1946 and studied journalism at the University of Oklahoma before joining the U.S. Air Force in 1951.
He and his late wife, Joan, had two sons. Frank Barry is a teacher in the Norman public school system and Bob Barry Jr. is sports director at KFOR TV in Oklahoma City.
Sports reporter Michael Kinney contributed to this report.

Original recipe yields 10 servings
- Soak the dried beans in a large pot of water overnight, then drain. Refill the pot with water, and bring to a boil. Simmer until beans are tender, about 1 hour.
- While the beans are cooking, mix together the maple syrup, molasses, brown sugar, ginger, mustard powder, salt, pepper and water. Set aside.
- Place onion wedges into the bottom of a 3 quart or larger slow cooker. Place salt pork cubes over the onion. Drain the beans, and transfer to the slow cooker. Pour the maple syrup mixture over the beans. If there is not enough liquid to cover the beans, add a little more hot water.
- Cover, and cook on the Low setting for 10 to 12 hours, or cook on High for 5 to 6 hours. If cooking the beans on High, you will want to check occasionally in case they need a little bit more water. If the beans are too juicy for your liking, leave the lid off for the last 30 minutes to steam off some of the liquid.

Just a comment on this recipe I submitted. Wow, haven't looked at this site in awhile... anyhow, in defense of this recipe... this is a variation of the more traditional New England baked bean dish (made with just brown sugar and/or molasses with ground mustard) and it is meant to be "subtle". Bland and slightly sweet actually with a hint of ginger zippiness. It is not like the baked bean dishes from the American West and South which are much spicier and zesty (which I also love, been looking for a good bbq/ranch style/southwestern type of bean recipe to try). Ketchup and other spices, as some reviewers suggested and added, seem almost sacrilegious. LOL As for the amount of water you add to the beans, the recipe as I originally submitted stated that it had to be monitored and adjusted accordingly. Different altitudes (I'm in Colorado) and crockpots will require some tweaking. Also, I always stir the beans a few times in the last few hours, which crushes a few beans and thickens up the dish overall. If there is too much water, I remove some. Cooking is an art, not a precise science... tweak as you go... adding more of "this" next time and less of "that"... which is why there are so many recipes for the "same dishes" out there.
After reading the reviews I was a little leary to try this recipe. I will have to say that I am very glad I did. There were a few subtle things that I changed only because of previous experience with cooking beans. The first was I added an extra cup of water so that the beans were nearly covered with the liquid mixture. I also added 1/4 cup more of brown sugar to help off set the extra water. I used the syrup I had on hand and it did not come out too sweet. I cooked the beans on high in the slow cooker for 5 1/2 hrs. and the beans soaked up most of the liquid so that it was not watery like previously stated. This recipe was a big hit with the family and we will be enjoying this for years to come.
I had to try these after reading the creator's review - her approach to cooking sounded like mine. The only modification I made was to use heaping teaspoons of ginger and mustard (it's a habit), and they're fabulous. Precooked, and then into the crock pot on low for 11.5 hours . . . they're for dinner tomorrow, and I'm so excited to taste how the flavors meld after setting for a day. Thanks for my new baked beans recipe!

Back in 2007, the Nashville Predators were sold for $193 million. Now, the Predators will have to decide if the face of their franchise is worth more than half that amount.
That's because the Philadelphia Flyers signed Shea Weber -- Nashville's captain and one of the NHL's best all-around defenseman -- to a heavily frontloaded offer sheet on Thursday and now the Predators have seven days to match that deal. If they don't, the Flyers will get the 26-year-old Weber for the long haul while Nashville will receive four first-round draft picks as compensation.
One would think that it'd be an easy decision for the Predators to match the reported 14-year, $110 million deal the Flyers worked out with Weber, but things aren't that simple for the small-market club. Philadelphia general manager Paul Holmgren figured a deal structured to pay Weber the bulk of his money over the first six years that would put the cash-strapped Predators in a bind and he may wind up being right.

Cookbook creator says: Low Sodium... Use low sodium chicken broth. Good but don't leave it cooking in the crockpot overnight. I did and the veggies are too soft.
