5. | Rating Based Modeling of Credit Risk By: Stefan Trueck; Svetlozar T. Rachev Publisher: Academic Press Publication Date: 15-JAN-2009 Insert Date: 21-MAY-2013 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Rating Based Modeling of Credit Risk
In the last decade rating-based models have become very popular in credit risk management. These systems use the rating of a company as the decisive variable to evaluate the default risk of a bond or loan. The popularity is due to the straightforwardness of the approach, and to the upcoming new capital accord (Basel II), which allows banks to base their capital requirements on internal as well as external rating systems. Because of this, sophisticated credit risk models are being developed or demanded by banks to assess the risk of their credit portfolio better by recognizing the...

What has been your favorite photo taken by Carlos Borja? Make your choice below!
Defender Carlos Borja and midfielder Marvin Iraheta faced off in a three-round thumb war. Who do you think won? Cast your vote below. This Friday, we'll be posting up a video with the result!
It took Chivas USA 158 minutes to score the first goal of the 2013 season. And the man in charge of scoring the first goal was forward Juan Agudelo, who is now nominated for MLS Goal of the Week and MLSsoccer.com's Top Performers!
Just as the Red-and-White were down 1-0 to FC Dallas at the 68th minute, Walter Vilchez served a long ball over the top to Agudelo, who with two Dallas defenders, crossed the ball to his left and unleashed a strike for his first goal of the season, and the equalizer for Chivas USA. The Goats went on to earn their first win of the season after Oswaldo Minda and Giovani Casillas scored for the Red-and-White.
Click here to cast your vote for Juan Agudelo for Goal of the Week, and click here to vote for Agudelo as one of MLSsoccer.com's Top Performer. You can also submit your vote by texting G4 to 22442. But hurry; polls close Thursday, March 14 at 11:59pm PT.
Re-live Agudelo's goal:
Last season was challenging for Chivas USA, but above all, there were three moments of 2012 that are up for the L.A. Sports Awards. Below are the nominated moments:
-Chivas USA earned their first win of the season on away turf. On March 24, the Red-and-White travelled to Utah to face Real Salt Lake in the third match of the season. In the 72nd minute of the match, defender Ante Jazic made a cross that RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando attempted to grab but let go, allowing Townsend to score his first professional and winning goal of the match.
-A goal from Jose Correa in the first SuperClasico of 2012 gave the Red-and-White their first victory against the LA Galaxy since 2007. The goal came in the second half of the match after former Chivas USA defender David Junior Lopes stopped a ball with his arm, resulting in a penalty, and the win for the Goats.
-The Red-and-White ended the 2012 season on a high note. What seemed to be a 2-nil win for FC Dallas on Oct. 28, 2012, Chivas USA made a dramatic turnaround, earning a draw in the dying minutes of the match. Laurent Courtois notched the first goal for the Goats in the 90th minute of the match, ten minutes after coming in to the game as a sub. In the 93rd minute, Juan Agudelo was able to get the second goal for the Goats, and the final 2-2 draw.
Click here to cast your vote for your favorite Chivas USA moment of the year and stay tuned to see if your selection took the most votes.
MLS SuperDraft is just around the corner, and with the second overall pick, Chivas USA has yet another selection to make on Thursday, Jan. 17 in Indianapolis. Throughout the nine years the club has been a part of MLS, the Red-and-White have made over 20 selections. Which one is your favorite? Vote now!
And don't forget, MLS will have a live stream on Thursday, only on MLSsoccer.com starting at 9 a.m. PT.
It doesn't surprise many to hear that Dan Kennedy's saves kept Chivas USA alive in many games, and the second match against Colorado Rapids was no different.
The Red-and-White were down one goal in the 60th minute when Omar Cummings headed a cross by Hunter Freeman to the left side of the goal. Luckily for Chivas, Kennedy's cat-like reflexes avoided that shot from hitting the back of the net. Fortunately for the Goats, Juan Pablo Angel notched the equalizing goal for a final 1-1 draw with the home team.
Check out the save that even left Omar Cummings at awe:
Which save in 2012 do you think should be nominated? Comment below and stay tuned for a poll at the end of our countdown!
It didn't take much for Dan Kennedy to make a good impression in the 2012 season and earn the MLS Player of the Week in the sixth week, becoming the first goalkeeper to earn the award in the year.
Kennedy earned that honor after a stupendous match against Toronto FC where the Red-and-White earned their third consecutive victory on the road. The Goats were up by one goal by the 70th minute, when Toronto forward Danny Koevermans flicked a cross at goal; fortunately for Chivas, Kennedy was in the right place at the right time to prevent the ball from crossing the goal line. Minutes before the end of the match, Koevermans continued looking for a goal but Kennedy saved and kicked the ball out for a corner kick in favor of the Canadians.
Check out Kennedy's top saves in that match:

They say three times the charm but when it comes to saves, Goalkeeper Dan Kennedy denies them all. Among the 109 saves Goalkeeper Dan Kennedy had in the 2012 season, three of those came from the first SuperClásico of the year, the first victory for Chivas USA since 2007.
The Goats and the Galaxy were scoreless in the 50th minute when a corner kick taken by LA's Landon Donovan led to three consecutive saves for Kennedy, denying Pat Noonan, Sean Franklin and Kyle Nakazawa. Because of this, Kennedy earned a nomination for MLS Save of the Week.
In that match alone, Kennedy had four saves and earned his third shutout of the season. Check it out:
Which save in 2012 do you think should be nominated? Comment below and stay tuned for a poll at the end of our countdown!
Who said saves were solely for goalkeepers? In our first top save of the year, defender James Riley cleared the ball before it passed the goal line and now, its John Valencia's turn.
Chivas USA hosted Real Salt Lake in the final match of September, a long and challenging month for the Goats. In the 56th minute of the match, Valencia made a sliding save to keep RSL's Javier Morales' shot from passing the goal line and taking the ball out for a corner kick. After the save, Valencia received praise not only from the fans but Dan Kennedy himself.
His save also earned him a nomination to MLS Save of the Week. Check it out:
Which save in 2012 do you think should be nominated? Comment below and stay tuned for a poll at the end of our countdown.
The 2012 season was one of Dan Kennedy's stellar years, standing out in every match played. The Red-and-White 'keeper closed the season second in league standings with 109 saves. Kennedy started in 32 games this year before a knee injury cut his season short.
Kennedy's save nominated for MLS Save of the Year is for one against Marvin Chavez. In the 68th minute of the match, Honduran Marvin Chavez took a left-footed shot from the right side of the box; Kennedy, with his cat-like reflexes, was able to push the ball out for a corner kick. This save also earned him a nomination to MLS Save of the Week .

I changed it
I changed it
From what I've learned a few years back. There is a high speed fibre optic cable running from Boston to Montreal which carries the digital signals of Boston's big 4 networks (NBC,ABC,CBS,FOX with WSBK and PBS). And these channels, along with a set of Buffalo and Plattsburgh networks are the only East coast US local channels we're allowed to watch. For the west Seattle and Tacoma are the only two West coast locals we're allowed to watch. Very strict guidelines. So no New York or LA networks here. (Except KTLA and WGN Chicago which are considered "super stations" and must be purchased separately as premium channels).
Now, should there only be 2 Family Feuds in a day or in a night?
I mean, 2 Family Feuds is enough so that it will not be rerun abused like GSN did with Deal Or No Deal that one time. See what they're doing to Dick's Pyramid?
Family Feud won't get rerun abuse for a while, but as long as GSN cuts Family Feud slots by a quarter (so 88 now to about 66), then FF won't see as bad of a rerun abuse EVER as Deal or No Deal and Million Dollar Password.
My take on Family Feud right now: GSN will keep as much Family Feud as there is until a new Summer acquisition, and the hour-long series of "American Bible Challenge"

So my office manager informs me that her son and his new wife are saving up for a trip to Africa later this year. So he wants to sell his toys from his childhood that they have in storage. I said I would be interested in helping, so I meet him at the storage facility to take a look.
Think I bit off more than I can chew:
As you can see, heavy on the late 80's/90's toys - power rangers, TMNT, He man, MicroMachines, wrestlers, Batman toys.
All of this is going up on Ebay, but if any of you do collect any of these items, drop me a line. I am not sure the fair prices, but I trust you guys to offer what is fair.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — The planned sale this week of some items that belonged to the late Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler has been postponed.
Sports memorabilia, furniture and vintage clothing once owned by Schembechler were to be sold Thursday through Sunday at a home in Ann Arbor.
Aaron's Estate Sales was organizing the sale for Schembechler's son, Matt. The Detroit News reports no new date for the sale has been set.
The estate sale business owner Aaron Siepierski tells MLive.com that the sale was called off due to a disagreement with an area neighborhood association.
Siepierski says the sale is expected at a later date. He's said the coaching great's first desk and autographed memorabilia were among the items.

It's Sharon Osbourne vs. NBC. Osbourne said she's quitting the NBC reality show America's Got Talent because the network discriminated against her son Jack Osbourne. Mom Osbourne claims NBC fired her son from the reality show Stars Earn Stripes after he revealed he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Sharon says though she's under contract, NBC can't force her to stay on the show, which is the highest-rated summer program.
Is it too soon to joke about the Aurora, Colo. theater shooting? Comedy Central thinks so. The network is pulling a joke that comedian Jeff Ross made at the Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne. During the taping of the roast, Ross, who dressed like former Penn State coach Joe Paterno, said, "Seth [Green], congratulations. This is actually a great night for you ... you haven't gotten this much attention since you shot all those people in Aurora. ... I'm kidding. You are not like James Holmes. At least he did something in a movie theater that people remember!" The audience groaned at the joke. Ross later admitted he crossed the line but said, "That is what roasts are about." The roast airs this Sunday sans Ross' joke.
Taylor Swift. Ellen DeGeneres. Queen Latifah. Sofia Vegara. Now Pink. The singer has signed on to be the latest CoverGirl model. "Joining a group of women who have always inspired me — to laugh out loud, let my guard down, or play around with my beauty look — is such an honor," the singer says in a release. "I have a lot to celebrate. I called my new album The Truth About Love, and the truth is that I have my beautiful family and baby girl, my new music and now my partnership with CoverGirl to love." Pink will be featured in advertisements for a line of eyeshadow and mascara.

Store Manager Jayson Frederick said the Rome Halloween City store outperformed all others in Georgia, so the parent company decided Rome would be a great place to put down permanent roots.
Party City has taken close to half of the old Circuit City building while Dollar Tree will be opening soon in the other half of the building.
"We've got anything and everything to do with any birthday theme for boys and girls, everything from Spiderman to Dora" Frederick said. "That's just in the store,. Online we've got much more."
The store has an entire aisle dedicated to weddings and other sections related to births and baby showers. "We have different themes from Hollywood themes to 50s themes," Frederick said.
Part of the store is also dedicated to personalization of party supplies. If someone needs on the spot printing for invi-tations, custom banners, that kind of thing we can do on site," Frederick said.
Party City is open Monday through Wednesday from 9:30 a.m. until 8:30 p.m.; Thursday and Friday from 9:30 a.m. until 9 p.m.; Saturday from 8:30 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.

8 Ways to Execute Smart Loyalty Campaigns
By Roger L. Brooks
Exclusively for Jeebster (This article originally appeared in NACS Magazine)
In any industry, top performers typically put great pressure on themselves to stay ahead or just keep pace with the competition. In recent years, bigger and better was the way to stay on top, but unless your pockets were bottomless, many found it exceptionally difficult to succeed on size.
Take loyalty programs, for example. Retailers that can't compete on size alone are now able to contend with the bigger chains by gathering historical data and intelligence about their customers. This practice enables the smaller operators to compete in a more calculated and tactical fashion.
More recently, a need to perform smarter, faster and "in-the-now" has taken hold in the loyalty community. This new trend — "smart loyalty"— is flourishing in small pockets around the globe in convenience stores of all brands and sizes.
Smart loyalty's focus is on mining customer data across all segments while providing a tool to level the playing field for all.
Getting Started
If you're uncertain about initiating a customer loyalty strategy, you are not alone. Many companies struggle with the decision as they navigate through uncharted waters trying to grasp the intricacies of such programs.
Loyalty programs can be intimidating for those with little experience or knowledge on how to implement campaigns to motivate customer behavior. Besides, you're already working your darnedest to pump more gallons and sell more snacks. So how can you find the time to gather information about your customers and their spending habits?
As you mull that over, also consider your critical advantage: Convenience stores are the lucky recipients of a steady flow of traffic — a critical element in any successful loyalty program. Many businesses struggle to get foot traffic in the door. You already have that foot traffic, so now your challenge is identifying who exactly fills those shoes — on an ongoing basis.
Capturing relevant data when customers enroll in your program is essential in keeping open a direct line of communication with them. This will also provide you with the ability to promote integrated loyalty campaigns to an unlimited number of customer segments.
The primary method for initially identifying customers is to assign a unique loyalty card or phone number to each person when they first sign up.
As time passes and your loyalty customers begin to identify themselves, you'll be able to track what they buy, how often they buy and how much they spend on an average transaction. You'll also get to know your top-tier, bottom-tier and every customer tier in between.
As you build your customer database — typically 1,500 to 5,000 customers per store in a mature program — you can weave together all your information into new and existing touch points: pump displays, POS readers, receipt messaging, texting and e-mail to name a few. When you deliver communications from multiple sources, the probability that your campaigns will succeed becomes greater.
Below are eight ways to execute smart-loyalty campaigns — implemented with help from multiple touch points and customer data:
1. Fuel-Only Campaign
It's a constant game of tug-a-war to get the customer inside your store. So here's a helpful hint: If you repeatedly incentivize fuel-only customers to step inside for a compelling offer, you will move the needle. Offer a high-margin product, such as a free cup of coffee or fountain drink, through a pump display message, and you can count on converting a decent percentage (10 to 20 percent) per campaign to becoming combination customers (fuel and in-store). The better the offer, the greater the conversion.
Keep in mind, the campaign is not one-and-done; it's never done — meaning you need to run the campaign to fuel-only customers on a recurring basis.
2. Idle Customer Campaign
After you accumulate adequate historical data (three to six months minimum), you can begin to identify those customers who pulled a Houdini. Because you captured the elusive customer's e-mail address and cell phone number at the time of enrollment (through an opt-in process), you can communicate with them directly in an attempt to bring them back.
The magic lies in the creativity of your offer and being unassuming in the process. You'll likely test a variety of promotions until you find one or multiple campaigns that successfully promote their return.
3. Frequent Customer Campaign
You all have those customers with tunnel vision — they come in every day and buy no more than a newspaper and coffee. Although they are the frequenters, the challenge is to shake them out of their routine. They are buying milk, water and bread somewhere other than your store. Talk to them at the associate level and through receipt messaging, and open their eyes to your entire store.
In addition, provide customer service training so your employees are prompted by the point-of-sale device to identify opportunities to engage with customers. Also, set your POS systems up to trigger receipt messaging when the campaign speaks to the target segment. For example, receipt message could read, "Receive $1.00 off any 8.5 oz. bag of chips." Assign a short-term expiration date, such as one week, and this campaign will prompt a portion of those customers to take action on the promotion.
4. Top-Tier Customer Campaign
If you think your top customers are maxed-out, think again. Top-tier customers are highly probable candidates to respond to promotions, as they statistically buy more frequently, spend more per visit and select more items per transaction. They typically have more disposable income available and will likely buy a pack of gum, bottle of water or even windshield washer fluid — if they're asked. Furthermore, top customers are aiming to reach their rewards thresholds quicker, and/or take pride in seeing their points reward options grow. The effect of loyalty runs deep at the top-tier level, so extra attention should be given to these customers.
5. Cross Product Campaign
Start with the basics. Create an e-mail campaign to motivate customers to purchase a product outside of a category, but complementary to the basket. If the customer only buys a fountain drink, provide an incentive to add a bag of chips, hot dog or candy bar. Work with your margins, but also make the campaign worth their while.
6. Text Message Campaign
This tool can be used in a variety of ways. Get creative and start a promotion such as "2:00 Text Tuesdays" to drive traffic during slower dayparts (i.e., 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm). Choose a different product or different location each week to run a targeted fuel or foodservice promotion to your entire opt-in database. This will create excitement and customers will begin to look forward to receiving your text each week.
7. E-Statement Campaign
On the first of each month, send an e-statement to your loyalty customers with a summary of their purchases and reward earnings from the previous month. Work with your vendors, and provide one or multiple promotions within the statement to attract new business. In addition, offer a refer-a-friend perk in the statement itself.
8. Social Network Campaign
If you haven't jumped into social networking (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube) yet, consider it a priority and a perfect tiein to your loyalty strategy. Social networks are one of those new touch points where many companies are seeing staggering results. This type of campaign will allow you to connect to an audience you may not typically reach. Be sure to send consistent and relative posts that your customers can respond to with their own comments. Inspiring their engagement is key.
So many loyalty campaign best practices take place behind the scenes, in a one-to-one fashion and in real-time. Customers have come to expect these more personal conversations and connections with retailers.
The customer data you collect can be advantageous if you truly uncover the identity of the people who really fill those shoes. It can also be your first chance to grow your business in a strategic and discreet way, without putting every offer or incentive out on the street.
Think of the venture as your company's powerful little secret, and your secret is safe with me.

The National Weather Service has just upgraded the winter weather advisory to a Winter Storm Warning for NE WI, with a new snow range of 8 to 14 inches. It seems recently these storms have tended to fizzle (wishful thinking???) So, here's YOUR chance to predict the total for the Tuesday/Wednesday storm, as announced as a final snowfall total by Fox 11, for Green Bay. The winner will receive a certificate for lunch or dinner for two at the Standing stone Gourmet Buffet in the Radisson Hotel and Conference Center, and whatever else I can dig out of the prize bin. Enter by commenting on this blog entry. Please make your prediction to the nearest tenth of an inch (example: 8.5 inches). If more than one person gets it right, we'll draw a winner from all correct answers. Again, this is the STORM total, as announced by Fox 11. Good Luck!

Tukkies docked two home games
5 Feb 2009
Tukkies have lost the right to host two Varsity Cup home games due to sub-standard floodlights.
The University of Cape Town were unable to host last year's final as the lights at Groote Schuur were deemed inadequate for live television broadcasting. The game was moved to Danie Craven Stadium where Stellenbosch eventually took the spoils in a tightly-contested affair.
Now Tukkies have been docked the home games against TUT on 16 February and Maties on 16 March. Both fixtures will take place at the opposition.
"Unfortunately Tukkies' lights do not meet the requirements for televised night matches," said Varsity Cup Managing Director Duitser Bosman. "They had assured us they would upgrade their lights for this season, but broadcasters SuperSport are not happy with the state of their lights.
"A club like UCT had pre-warned us that they needed earlier kick-off times for their televised games this season, so we've been able to plan for that, but at this late juncture, with the television slots already booked, we had no alternative but to move the games away from Tukkies."
Should Tukkies qualify for the 2009 final they would suffer the same fate as UCT in 2008. Club Manager Gert van Coller told www.varsitycup.co.za that he was "very disappointed" with the ruling, but he explained the situation, saying: "We had plans in place to upgrade our lighting facilities, but a short-term fix would've cost us R2-million just for this season.
"But long-term we would still have had a problem, which would have cost another R9-million to fix, so, instead we've been forced to look at making sure our lights are of the required standard come the 2010 competition."

5 Feb 2009, 16:42 pmWell there's a stadium just down the road from Tukkies that is more than adequate for broadcasting purposes. Why not just move it to Loftus?
5 Feb 2009, 16:46 pm#3 Tacitus: Can't see the Cape prima donnas agreeing to something as simple as that. TUT is not too far away so support shouldn't be a problem, but to have to play a "home" game in Stellenbosch can't be fun.
5 Feb 2009, 17:26 pm#4 Scrumdown: What does this have to do with the "Cape prima donnas"? Stellenbosch is an honorary suburb of Pretoria.
5 Feb 2009, 17:48 pmWhy blame the "Cape Prima donnas" if a once proud institution like UP does no longer have up to standard flood lights at their rugby stadium.
6 Feb 2009, 06:57 amTukkies facilities are still beter than that of most provincial stadiums in nz…
6 Feb 2009, 08:37 amThis is not good enough. LC is one of the best places to be in Pretoria. Mr Coller when can we expect this problem to be solved? We deserve to attend our home games. So Tukkies get your act together and quickly!!!!!!! Stop being so bloody useless.

Broadband download speeds
Is your broadband too slow? Here are some top tips for understanding what broadband speeds are, and how to speed up your connection.
How are broadband download speeds measured?
The speed of your broadband connection is the speed at which information is downloaded to your computer. Advertised speeds are as much as 100Mb or more in some areas of the country.
However, depending on the type of connection you have, ADSL or fibre optic cable, the actual speed you receive will be less than this. With copper wire (ADSL) connections it can be less than half the advertised speed.
The best broadband download speed your household's connection can achieve depends on many factors, including the package you've signed up for, the distance from your local telephone exchange to your house, the quality of the line, and the number of households that share your connection.
If you're interested in file sharing, or uploading files (like videos to YouTube), you should look at the upload speed you get on your connection as well, although this will be a lot slower than the broadband download speed.
How fast is your broadband?
You've probably heard conflicting stories about broadband download speeds. Some of the UK's biggest and most popular broadband providers have been accused of giving customers slower broadband connections than those they advertise.
Ofcom's latest speed tests reveal that the average broadband download speed in the UK is around 8Mb. So,how fast is your broadband? And what can you do about it if it's not fast enough?
Broadbandchoices.co.uk features a broadband speed tester that will tell you how fast your connection is running at any one time. It does this by downloading a file onto your computer. It then measures how quickly that file was downloaded, and gives you the actual speed of your connection.
What if I'm getting a slower broadband download speed than I'm paying for?
Check your broadband download speed a few times to make sure your first try can't be explained by a temporary blip. You will find that most connection speeds slow down at peak times - typically between 6pm and 8pm - so try testing your connection at different times of the day and night too.
If you're not happy with your broadband download speed, you should contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The physical workings of your broadband supply will be managed by the company you are getting your broadband from, an ISP such as , , .
You may find that an engineer from one of these companies will be sent to your property to examine whether there's a physical fault with your connection. If there is no fault, your ISP may be willing to reduce your bills to reflect the service you're receiving.
If they won't do this, and you remain unhappy with the speed you get, you can make a formal complaint to your ISP, and a further complaint to the independent regulator, Ofcom, if the ISP refuses to address your concerns.
Broadband speeds available
Since the introduction of the new Broadcast Committee of Advertising Practice (BCAP) and Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) guidelines about the advertising of broadband, ISPs have adjusted the broadband speeds that they advertise.
Broadband companies can now only advertise up to speeds which at least 10% of their customers can actually get.
This has lowered the gap between advertised speeds and the actual speeds that customers receive, however it has led ISP's to advertise a wide variety of speeds especially with ADSL connections, and has left customers still no clearer about what speeds they are realistically going to get.
Fibre optic broadband fared better as generally speeds received have always been much closer to those advertised.
ADSL broadband
ADSL and ADSL2+ is broadband delivered via the traditional copper wire telephone network, and depending on your provider, will generally mean advertised broadband speeds between up to 10Mb and up to 19Mb. However, with speed degradation the actual speed will be less than this.
Fibre optic broadband
Fibre optic cables are designed to carry data at lightning fast speeds and broadband delivered via fibre doesn't suffer from the same degree of speed loss as copper wire broadband. Consequently, actual speeds are much closer to those advertised, usually 85-100% of the headline speed you signed up to. Virgin Media's entire network uses fibre to deliver its broadband. Other providers offer packages of up to 38Mb, up to 76Mb and more.
100Mb broadband
Both BT and Virgin Media's 100Mb connections utilise fibre-to-the-premises technology where fibre optic cable is used all the way from exchange to your house. This means connection speeds are preserved and the download speed you get is highly likely to be no more than a couple of percent less than the advertised speed.
With a 100Mb connection, customers can download an entire music album in as little as five seconds; a TV show in around 30 seconds, a high quality movie in as little as 1½ minutes and a high-definition movie in just seven minutes. It will also allow you to run several bandwidth-hungry applications at the same time without a slowing of connection speed making it ideal for multiple user households.
Independent fibre optic broadband suppliers
As well as BT and Virgin Media, there are other providers dipping a toe in the 100Mb water.
Some cities around the UK have developed their own fibre optic cable networks, and several smaller providers like Fibrecity, which has networks in Bournemouth and Dundee, and Hull-based provider KC, are delivering 100Mb connections.
2011 even saw the launch of a 1Gb FTTH service from Hyperoptic providing download and upload speeds 140 times faster than the UK average.

The date is fast approaching where county residents can get rid of some of the more dangerous waste around their homes, according to the Surry County Public Works Department.
The county will be hosting a hazardous waste pick-up from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Park in Mount Airy on Oct. 27.
According to Dennis Bledsoe, interim public works director, all containers brought to the pick-up must be labeled, with all lids closed tightly. Any waste brought to the site in glass bottles must be cushioned.
During this year's Household Hazardous Waste and Pesticide Collection event, the county will take paints, paint stripper, pesticides, weed killers, drain solvents, gasoline, dry cell batteries, oil, acids, thinners, solvents, antifreeze and pool chemicals.
Some of the items that will not be accepted this year include ammunition, radioactive materials, unidentified materials, explosives, medicine and syringes, propane gas or propane gas cylinders, infectious waste or automotive batteries.
Bledsoe emphasized that the pick-up is for household waste only, and that no commercial waste will be accepted.
For more information, call the Surry County Public Works Department at 401-8376.
Sponsors for this year's pick-up include the county public works department, the North Carolina Cooperative Extension and the North Carolina Department of Agriculture.

Council Approves RFP for San Juan Island Waste Site
Wednesday, Jul 11 2012 -
On July 18th San Juan County will invite proposals to lease the San Juan Island solid waste site on Sutton Road. The property will be put up for lease to a qualified vendor who will provide some solid waste services. The land for lease includes both the Town's Sutton Road property that is now used for self-haul and an adjacent undeveloped property owned by the County.
The County Council approved a Request for Proposals at its July 10 meeting. The description of qualifications for applicants includes the variety of services, proposed site improvements, costs to the public, experience, financial capacity, and estimated number of in-county jobs created, and about eight other items.
Any vendor leasing the site would have the option to keep self-haul operating as it is now for up to a year after the contract is signed. State health regulations require that solid waste is disposed of at appropriate and legal facilities. The vendor would be responsible for that transport and disposal.
The lessee would have that first year of the contract to repair and improve the site for providing their services and to obtain permits to continue to operate the site. Improvements to the structures and paving are required to comply with health regulations and local traffic concerns, and permits are required to safeguard public health.
The request for proposals will be released on July 18th. After that, interested parties will have 72 days to provide their proposal to the County. Interested parties must attend a pre-proposal meeting and site visit. Selection criteria are written into the RFP so that anyone making a proposal will be able to see them.
Public Works Director Frank Mulcahy noted, "We have been pleased with the response so far to the RFP we issued for the Orcas solid waste facility, so we are optimistic about finding a qualified lessor to provide services on San Juan Island."
Proposals from potential lessors of the Orcas property will be opened on July 13th.
If a qualified vendor is selected, the contract is likely to be in place by the end of this year.

EasternLighthose.org, the premier Romanian Heritage Charity in US, announces a new program for 2013, focused on donating new and used frames of eye glasses to Romanian Children. DonateYourGlasses.org is the newly launched website supporting the frames collection and distribution.
Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) January 28, 2013
Eastern Lighthouse just announced a new focus area for 2013, via the DonateYourGlasses.org, which targets donating used and new frames and eye glasses to Romanian children.
Anna, Amalia, Sarah and Helen live in three corners of the Cincinnati metro area, but they have a thing in common: their parents were Romanian born. Now, they have one more thing in common, they are the founding members of Eastern Lighthouse, a non profit created to help improve the lives of kids in Romania.
Sarah Sotropa, one of the founders says about the DonateYourGlasses.org program: "There are children in Romania that cannot even see the blackboard, and that holds them back. The gift of better eyesight is something you can all do today. Recycle, and help the world's children to see. Your old glasses no longer needed? Someone else will love them."
All the frames collected are donated to children in Romania, via an EasternLighhouse qualified network of ophthalmology labs. Local specialists are donating their time to the DonateYourGlasses.org program, so public donations accompanying the frames are going directly to their purpose – helping children get a better eyesight.
About Eastern Lighthouse
EasternLighthouse.org, based in Cincinnati, Ohio, is the premier Romanian Heritage Charity in US, aiming to improve the lives of Romanian children. We pride ourselves on operating efficiently, and ensuring that 100% of the donations are making it to the children they were intended to help.
