It also requires courage and perseverance from political leaders, public servants, civil society, the media, academics, the private sector and international organizations.
The Bank has assisted anti-corruption operations in nearly 100 countries. Since 1997, the Bank's anticorruption strategy has called for action in four key areas:
How Corruption Keeps Poor People in PovertyPoor governance and corruption can be the greatest obstacle to economic and social development.
It undermines development by distorting the rule of law and weakening the institutional foundation on which economic growth depends. It hurts the poor because it diverts public services from those who need them most and stifles private sector growth.
The World Development Report, 2004: Making Services Work for the Poor again raised corruption as a major inhibitor of poverty reduction.
Noting economic growth and financial resources were needed to achieve freedom from illness and illiteracy (two of the most important ways that poor people can escape from poverty), it said countries were too often held back by corruption.
Too often basic services such as water, sanitation, health, education and electricity failed poor people - in access, quality and affordability. More often than not there were deeper problems of accountability lurking behind these failures. These problems led to high teacher absenteeism rates, missing drugs in health clinics, money that did not reach the frontline service provider and corruption.
The report said strengthening accountability could help rectify these problems. Enabling the poor to monitor and discipline service providers and strengthening incentives for providers to serve the poor were identified as key areas.
Sharing ExperienceThe Bank shares the experience it has gained in its projects with the international community.
A joint World Bank-Transparency International (TI) workshop last year outlined the formidable challenges inherent in fighting corruption. It was concluded that demand for reforms must be increased from within societies, vested interests who benefit from corrupt systems confronted and the political drivers of corruption tackled.
In May 2003, the 11th International Anti-Corruption Conference (IACC) and the subsequent intergovernmental Global Forum III, held in Seoul, Korea emphasized that laws, regulations and enforcement cannot alone address the problems of corruption in societies. Instilling values and ethics is critical for success.
In December, 2003, the Bank actively supported the creation of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, which was signed in Merida, Mexico.
In February, the Bank participated in a workshop with members of the OECD's Development Assistance Committee, the African Development Bank, the Secretariat of Transparency International, the Soros Foundation and International IDEA to discuss lessons learned in the fight against corruption. Among the issues identified were the need for international aid donors become more co-ordinated in the efforts to combat corruption. They also agreed there was a need to better manage the large amount of knowledge that has been generated on the corruption fight.
The Bank's Anti-Corruption Work With CountriesIn recent years, the Bank has lent more than $5 billion a year to help countries build efficient and accountable public sector institutions. Governance and anti-corruption measures are addressed in Country Assistance Strategies, the Bank's medium-term country-level business plans. This helps spotlight not only governance shortcomings but what the government and the Bank are doing to address these issues.
Its governance programs promote:
Promoting Extractive Industries Revenue TransparencyIn December last year, the Bank endorsed the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative and pledged to work with several developing nations, as well as companies on ways to publish revenues accruing from the oil, gas and mining sectors. The initiative was launched by British Prime Minister Tony Blair at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg. In many developing and transition countries, revenues from oil, gas and mining companies - in the form of taxes, royalties, signature bonuses, and other payments - have been an important engine for economic growth and social development. However, research has found that in some nations with weaker institutions the lack of accountability and transparency about these revenues can exacerbate poor governance and lead to more corruption, conflict and inequality.
An example of a cutting edge revenue transparency project is the Chad-Cameroon Pipeline. The Bank is working with Chad, one of the world's poorest countries, to improve governance and the transparency of revenues from a major petroleum project to ensure the benefits are passed on to the country's citizens.
The Bank supported the construction of a 1,050km pipleline in Chad to oil loading facilities in Cameroon to help finance much-needed development. The Bank established a safeguard program with clear rules for the allocation of oil revenues to ensure the country's oil money is managed for the well-being of all of Chad's citizens. Under the rules the oil money goes into an escrow account in London, subject to full disclosure and audit. After debt servicing to the World Bank and the European Investment Bank, the rules specify that 10 percent be set aside for a "future-generations" fund, and that 80 percent be allocated to priority sectors, including health education, infrastructure, rural development, water and environment. An allocation of five percent is set aside for oil producing areas themselves for special development projects. An oversight committee bringing together members from the administration, the Parliament, civil society, human rights groups, and faith-based organizations must approve spending from the petroleum account.
The Case for PreventionBank research shows that anti-corruption efforts pay off when they focus on preventative measures that reduce opportunities for corruption. These include:

Konecranes' business area equipment to reallocate resources to emerging markets
As a result of new equipment demand moving towards emerging markets, Konecranes Business Area Equipment has initiated actions to align operations closer to customers.In doing so, the Group, in its Business Unit Industrial Cranes will organize itself into larger sales areas with fewer, yet stronger units.
In addition, we will consider discontinuing industrial crane manufacturing in Hyvinkää, Finland and Vic, Spain. Hyvinkää will remain the main location for component manufacturing for heavy-duty industrial cranes and port cranes.
In our Business Unit Port Cranes we consider terminating straddle carrier manufacturing in Tauberbischofsheim, Germany. In straddle carrier manufacturing we will continue using other Group facilities, as well as the Group´s extensive subcontracting network.
These actions will affect approximately 140 employees globally. Konecranes expects to incur restructuring costs of approximately EUR 10 million due to these actions of which approximately EUR 6 million will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2012 and approximately EUR 4 million in the first quarter of 2013. The total cash flow impact of these restructuring costs will be approximately EUR 5 million. With these planned actions, Konecranes targets annual cost savings of approximately EUR 10 million starting from the second half of 2013 on.
Due to this business reorganization, Konecranes will start statutory negotiations regarding possible personnel reductions in Finland. We estimate that the permanent personnel reductions will affect 35 employees within the Business Area Equipment. The planned changes in Finland are part of the Business Area wide realignment of operations.

DEFINITION of 'Fine Print'
Contract terms and conditions, disclosures or other important information that are not included in the main body of a document, but in footnotes or a supplemental document. Reading and understanding the fine print is essential when entering into an agreement. It often contains information that the issuer does not want to call to the recipient's attention, but that is essential for the recipient to know.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Fine Print'
The information in the fine print may be required by law or may be recommended by a company's legal department. For example, the fine print of a credit card agreement might include: the card's introductory APR, the APR after the introductory period ends, the length of the introductory period, the APR for balance transfers and cash advances, the card's annual fee, its late payment fee and other crucial details. As another example, if an investor was reading a public company's financial report, he or she might have to read the fine print to learn about the company's accounting methods, long-term debt, employee stock ownership, pending litigation and other issues.

LOS ANGELES – Violent dramas on the broadcast networks carry milder parental cautions than cable shows like The Walking Dead but can equal them in graphic gore, a failure of the TV ratings system, a new study found.
Scenes of stabbings, shootings, rape, decapitation and mutilation invariably received a TV-14 parents strongly cautioned rating on network TV, according to the Parents Television Council study released Monday.
But similar fare on cable typically was given the most stringent label, TV-MA for mature audiences only, researchers for the media watchdog group found.
There are zero-point-zero series rated TV-MA on broadcast, said the media watchdog council President Tim Winter, despite programs that are awash in violent scenes.
It is vital to examine the media's effect on children and real-world violence, Winter said, adding that he hopes his nonpartisan group's findings are part of a wide-ranging search for solutions.
The study of 14 series during a four-week period found a 6 percent difference in the overall incidence of violence of all types on cable versus broadcast, with 1,482 violent acts on the cable programs and 1,392 on the network series.
Episode ratings are decided by networks and cable channels, similar to how the movie studios' Motion Picture Association of America self-governs by issuing its own movie ratings. The TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board, which is composed of TV industry members and public interest advocates, checks for ratings uniformity and responds to public complaints.
NBC, CBS, Fox and CW did not comment on the study, which did not include any ABC shows.

Published since 1996
Chris M. Slawecki has been published in music industry and related publications for more than thirty years and has served AllAboutJazz.com as Senior Editor since 1997.
"I tried to blend straightforward arrangements in the Latin and Afro-Cuban vein with the improvisations of the jazz soloists," Feldman said of his first Latin jazz set, "and it seems to me that Conte Candoli, Walter Benton and Frank Rosolino play with the swinging pulsation that they normally would with regular piano, bass, and drums rhythm." The resultant Latinsville! (Contemporary) album is now reissued by Fantasy, including five previously unreleased tracks.
As a soloist, Feldman whisks through his ending to "Flying Down to Rio," then his mid-song feature in "Cuban Pete" swings very deeply in Bags' (Milt Jackson's) bag. He also dances brilliantly against the amazingly timed percussion melody of "Cuban Love Song."
But the musicianship of the other musicians – the percussionists and horn / brass soloists in particular, but also the bass and piano players – play as large a part in the excellence of this music as Feldman does. For example, as you'd expect, the three horn players, particularly Candoli, shine in Dizzy Gillespie's "Woody'N You," sound-surfing along the rhythm churned by the percussionists. "In A Little Spanish Town" rocks to its foundation from the percussionists, too.
Like this Gillespie tune, a previously unreleased alternate take of "Poinciana" is more jazz than Latin, very different from the version released on the original Latinsville! set. It's straight-up quintet jazz quintet sans percussionists, driven both in support and as a soloist by bassist LaFaro, whose rhythm somehow sounds so essential and who solos as smooth and rich as the deepest, darkest chocolate.
Feldman would later work with Cannonball Adderley and Miles Davis, who recorded Feldman's composition as the title track for his Seven Steps to Heaven album in 1963.
The Shearing bands with Willie, Armando, and Mongo also featured Cal Tjader. After his time with Shearing, Tjader employed his drums, timbales, percussion and vibes as a longstanding pillar of the San Francisco jazz scene. Bobo and Santamaria would later realign with Tjader in some of these bands. So did Guaraldi, whose dancing, crystalline piano style served the Latin idiom well, especially in the context of Tjader's chiming vibes and shimmering rhythms.
About two decades after Feldman entered the studio for Contemporary, Tjader recorded this performance at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall. Though Cuban Fantasy (Fantasy) moves forward in jazz two decades from Feldman's time of Broadway, ballads, blues and bop to electric jazz and fusion, like Latinsville! it remains consistent with the instrumentation and devices of its time. Trumpet, trombone and saxophone are gone as solo instruments, replaced by Bob Redfield's electric guitar and keyboards from Clare Fischer. Bassist Rob Fisher, drummer Pete Riso, and conguero / percussionist Poncho Sanchez complete this ensemble.

Swaddle blankets are the perfect way to wrap your baby up. Wrap your baby in a natural position, which is with his or her arms bent at the elbow and knees and hips bent. Knees should be in an abducted position. This allows for hip and knee movement which is important for proper joint development and growth. If babys hands are placed on chest, within reach of their mouth, baby may self-soothe by sucking on hands and fingers. The swaddle blanket should be snug, but you should still be able to slide your hand between the blanket and your baby. Avoid over heating your baby.

Yesterday Grazia HQ were abuzz with comments from Nicolas Ghesquière about why he left Balenciaga, but today we have a glimpse of the future at the French fashion house thanks to the first look at the debut campaign by his successor, Alexander Wang.
Back in February all eyes were on the Balenciaga Autumn Winter 2013 show in Paris Fashion Week to see what the 29-year-old New York designer would do with his first collection for the house. Here at Grazia we were oh so impressed and our senior fashion news and features editor Katherine Ormerod wrote 'We now know that Wang has skillfully re-examined the late, great Cristobal Balenciaga's archives and fused the grand house's signatures with a clean and youthful spirit.'
The rounded shoulders and curved, defined waists paid tribute to the founder's 1950s collections, and the drapery at the hips was remiscent of the Spanish inspired 1946 collection. But Wang added his contemporary street style signatures with cracked paint-look sweaters, shiny flat boots and sexy unfastened backs. It was understandable but also sellable, as the simple cuts and elegant pieces guarentee retail success. But we were intruiged to see how the collection would translate into an ad campaign.
Balenciaga Autumn Winter 2013
For Wang's first Balenciaga campaign he recruited famed fashion photog Steven Klein and super duper model Kristen McMenamy. But the focus of the campaign is 100 per cent on the clothes rather than on on her haunting, iconic looks. As her face is not even in shot. Wang comments that McMenamy and Klein 'were the perfect team to illustrate this idea' and capture the details of the collection.
The Autumn Winter 2013 campaign which will debut in the June glossies, is a modern move for the house as Wang has said that he went for a 'very cinematic portrayl' of the collection, 'with lots of emotion... in contrast to the austerity bestowed in the show.'
One thing is for sure the timing of this Autumn campaign couldn't be any better as all Balenciaga chatter is now firmly back to Mr Alexander Wang.

Lions Grab First Win of SeasonPosted by on September 27, 2009 – 9:44 pm
The Lions picked up their first win of the season today as they defeated the Washington Redskins, 19-14.
QB Matthew Stafford put out a solid performance as he connected on 21-of-36 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown for a quarterback passer rating of 87.8.
Stafford: "It's awesome. It's great for not only the guys in the locker room, but the fans, the town – everybody. Hopefully we can keep this thing going. We played well on offense, defense and special teams. It wasn't just one part of our team that got it done today. Defense stopped them when they needed to. We mustered up enough points in the second half to get the job done and it's just a tribute to everybody sticking together and pulling through."
Head Coach Jim Schwartz was pleased with the team's performance and the fact that the weight of last season's record has now been lifted.
Schwartz: "We weren't 0-2. Our guys were carrying the burden of 0-19, and it was unfair to them. But this gets us off of that and puts it behind us.
"Half our team was new, so they didn't have the burden, but I think the organization had a burden and the city of Detroit felt it. Honestly, that game shouldn't have been that close. We had a couple of plays that we left on the field that we could have not had to hold on at the very end of that game."

That is what I'm talkin about a total TEAM effort and no excuses! This TEAM will just get better and better as time goes on!
IT makes me totaly happy to see a TEAM out there on the field working together for one purpose one common goal!
And I hope that this TEAM becomes the band of brothers that it is ment to be.
Yes,you left a few things on the field BUT,you didn't leave the game on the field! And that is the important thing! YOU left NO excuses! And I am proud of that!
The ones that you left there will start to come to fruition,because the only reason that some of them got left there was because this TEAM was trying so hard!
Next game it will be less left on the Field because you know you can do it!
And you can do it with confidence and skill.
I knew that you were going to win! I don't know how but I did. I think it is becuase I and we as fans believe in you. And because I believe that you are Finaly believeing it too!

Antonio Valencia endured a night to forget on Wednesday after receiving a red card before exiting the World Cup via a goalless draw with Patrice Evra's France, who march into the last 16 with confidence.
United fans were denied the opportunity to see Evra defend against his Reds team-mate Valencia after the Frenchman was named on the bench by manager Didier Deschamps, who made six changes to his starting XI for this final match in Group E.
France controlled the early stages, keeping possession against an Ecuador side that clearly held plans to counter attack at every opportunity. While that tactic was perhaps shrewd, given that the South Americans could only qualify with a shock victory, it contributed towards an underwhelming first half that lacked quality in the final thirds.
The first meaningful chance fell to ex-Red Paul Pogba, who forced a flamboyant save from goalkeeper Alexander Dominguez with a decent header from Antoine Griezmann's cross. Ecuador then went up the other end and almost scored when Enner Valencia's header forced a smart stop from Hugo Lloris just before the break.
Neither manager made changes for the second half but Ecuador were quickly forced to reshuffle after captain and talisman Antonio Valencia was sent off for a studs-up challenge on left-back Lucas Digne, despite replays showing the United winger's boot had initially made contact with the ball.
With one less player on the pitch, the match finally opened up and both sides began to show more ambition in attack,

Edler knee hit proof career's going south
Canucks fans should be wondering where Swede's future is headed after nasty play on Staal
Tony Gallagher, The ProvincePublished: Friday, May 17, 2013
Watching Canada go down in a shootout at the quarter-finals of the World Hockey Championship once again was just like watching the very first Karate Kid movie all over again.
While Mr. Miyagi was decidedly absent, the hero was Daniel-san and once again the bad guy decided to "sweep the leg."
And by leg sweeper we mean Alex Edler of Sweden.
Sweden's Alexander Edler, centre, hits Canada's Eric Staal on Thursday in world championship play.
Getty Images
Yes, of Sweden. After a play so profoundly stupid, you certainly wouldn't expect us to identify him as being a member of a Vancouver team, even though the Canucks have just re-signed him to a six-year contract extension.
If you thought Edler had a brain-dead season this year - coughing up the puck and playing soft for a man of his tremendous physical abilities - you will be pleased to know he at least tried to hit somebody in this one.
Unfortunately for the Carolina Hurricanes and Eric Staal, it was a ridiculously lame hit on the Canadian forward's knee in the first period of Thursday's 3-2 Sweden shootout victory.
Edler got a major penalty and was ejected from the game, and rightfully so. Loads of people on Twitter joined the condemnation of the hit.
Staal went down as though he'd had his leg sawed off, and if he doesn't have a serious knee injury that will keep him out a long while, it will be nothing short of a miracle.
Edler threw his stick in frustration as he left the ice, and whether he was upset with himself or the call isn't known.
The bonehead play certainly gives Canucks fans pause to ponder just where this guy's career is going - given he hasn't made much progress under this coaching staff.
There have been suggestions general manager Mike Gillis should move Edler before his new no-trade clause kicks in - and suggestions that this won't be happening, because the organization promised they wouldn't do that when they convinced him to take a hometown discount to remain with the club.
So in all probability, the Canucks will try to keep their reputation as an honourable organization, and keep their word by keeping the player.
But they'd better figure out a way to get this kid some help if they ever want to see any benefit from their $30-million investment.
To be sure, Edler will have to keep his head up every time his team plays either the Hurricanes or the New York Rangers (where Staal's brother plays) for the next couple of years.
But beyond that, how can this downward skid in his performance be arrested?
If you were a Alain Vigneault-Rick Bowness fan, perhaps you could mount the argument that these two coaches are simply dealing with so much cement here that it wouldn't matter whether it was Larry Robinson trying to help the guy - nobody is getting through.
And that might be a perfectly legitimate argument. But if you're welded to six more years with Edler, you have to at least try a different voice in his ear, because as he said at the end of the season: "For all the time I've been here, those guys (Vigneault and Bowness) have been here. I have nothing else to compare it to."
While there would be no shortage of takers on the trade market, given any defenceman with topflight potential is hard to get, you can be sure his value didn't go up Thursday.

The Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center, site of the World Congress of the National Contract Management Association.
I am at the Opryland Convention Center, in a very rainy Nashville, Tenn., for the World Congress of the National Contract Management Association (NCMA) – the association for government contracting professionals in government and companies.
I arrived late Sunday and quickly proceeded to a barbeque dinner just off-site. I immediately noticed just how little the restaurant patrons "looked like America" – it was pretty much a sea of middle-aged white faces, with no blacks, and I did not see any Latinos. The only Asian-Americans were at my table. So it seems country music still attracts only a limited constituency.
The conference is huge (a wild guess from a plenary this morning is perhaps 700 folks, though I don't regard myself as an estimation expert), but government attendance is way down – 75 percent from last year, according to some of the government employees in attendance. They told me that their attendance needed to be approved by the agency head or another high person in the organization as being "mission-critical." I have run into three government people so far who are paying their own way to be here!
Beyond the conference hysteria, another government attendee told me he felt very stressed because he felt attending the conference was very important for doing his job better, but he felt guilty that the few thousand bucks the conference cost could have gone into a pot to reduce furloughs at his agency. This is the sad reality for civil servants in the sequestration world.
Two interesting things I learned this morning:
First, during a plenary session on selling to governments outside the United States, Steve Schooner, the George Washington Law School procurement professor and panel chair, asked the audience whether NCMA should itself encourage participation and membership from non-U.S. government contracting professionals. As of now, the so-called "World Congress" is like our baseball "World Series," an essentially all-American event. Only a few said NCMA should not do this at all; the rest were about equally divided between "yes, but cautiously" and "yes, aggressively." (As a sidebar, this probably reflects the personality split among government contracting professionals about how they in general approach life.)
Listening to Schooner, I became an instant convert to "aggressively." Ten years ago, the meetings of the academic associations for professors studying management in general and public management in particular were nearly 100 percent Americans. Now they are about a quarter non-Americans, with that share split almost equally between Europeans and Asians. The simple reason is that U.S. universities and U.S. research in the social sciences are generally regarded as the best in the world, and non-Americans want to learn from the research and research environment of America's universities.
Similarly, for all our problems, the U.S. government's procurement system may be the best in the world – and certainly is one of the best. Many countries trying to improve their systems, particularly in developing countries, have a dramatic shortage of trained and qualified contracting professionals. It would be a real win-win for NCMA to open itself up to more international participation. A win for NCMA because this could be a source of additional revenue. A win for international participants because these conferences focus on training in contracting best practices. NCMA, go for it!
Second, I had a conversation with a former military officer who has been working for a company that provides big-ticket subsystems for weapons platforms. One of the subsystems they sell is exactly the same item as the company also sells to commercial customers in the commercial marketplace. When they sell this item to the government, they face competition from other firms providing the same type of items, and the item is sold at a fixed price. He told me that they are continuing to sell this item under Part 12 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, governing commercial items, which precludes gathering government-unique cost information and somewhat simplifies the contract.
However, he said, the contracting officer more and more feels he is going out on a limb to buy this item as a commercial item, even though it is off the shelf. The mood in the Defense Department has shifted back towards acquiring using old-fashioned, highly regulated procedures that make it very unattractive for commercial vendors to sell to the government, which is bad for the government and for taxpayers.
He also told me that his company had started in 1998 by converting a bunch of contracts for aerospace spare parts that were identical to parts widely sold in the commercial marketplace, and had not been developed at government expense, into one commercial contract. Prices went down, lower every year to follow price declines in their commercial sales, and contract administration was much easier for the government. But a few years ago the government customer converted the contract away from a commercial contract to a government-unique contract, again due to pressure against commercial item acquisitions.
There were certainly some abuses in overly wide definitions of "commercial items" in the late 90's, but this does not justify the Defense Department's dramatic swing in the other direction now. One thing that OFPP could do about this is finally to implement the provisions of the Federal Acquisition Reform Act of 1997 removing special provisions for commercial off the shelf items, commercial items that are identical to those sold in the commercial marketplace, so that at least straight off-the-shelf items are protected from the bad environment currently existing in DOD.

Community Cleanups
Prince William County faces litter issues on a daily basis. Litter is costly to clean up, affects our quality of life, and is harmful to our local ecosystem. For over 30 years, Keep Prince William Beautiful has served as the community's resource for litter cleanups. Whether along the Route 1 corridor or tending to an area that has been long neglected, KPWB can support cleanups of any size within the county.
Ready to schedule a cleanup, click here.
Reporting the results of your cleanup, click here.
Community Cleanups
Community cleanups are a great way to meet like-minded people and make new friends without having to sign up for the latest social networking site. And after introducing yourself to other volunteers, you can get to work cleaning, repairing or revitalizing neglected or vandalized areas of the community. To help, we provide pre-cleanup litter education and safety training, trash bags, landfill vouchers, gloves, vests, grabbers, giveaways and marketing assistance to help promote the event.
If working to help keep Prince William County beautiful is of interest to you, join in our efforts! You can propose an area to clean, or sign up for an area that we have already identified. You can find a list of scheduled cleanups you can join on our Events page. If you would like to coordinate a cleanup of a specific area, contact firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information, call our office at (571)285-3772.
Tips for Organizing a Community Cleanup: (Click here for a community cleanup success kit)
- Make good use of the flyers we offer to publicize your cleanup. Post the flyer in common areas throughout the community to bolster participation.
- Contact the local news outlet to see if they will do a write up of the event.
- Make sure you have enough gloves (latex and cotton) for every volunteer.
- Assign one volunteer to scout for recyclables, and only recyclables. That way you can make sure you are diverting as much litter as possible from ending up in the landfill.
- Plan an alternate date in case of inclement weather or other unexpected issues that may arise. Approximately 30% of community cleanups each year are rescheduled.
- Make sure there's enough water and snacks on hand for everyone.
- Educate your participants about items that cannot be collected during a community cleanup.
- Volunteers must be at least 16, or accompanied by a parent or guardian 18 or older.
- Have fun!
Operation Clean Sweep sponsored by
Groups and organizations are invited to contact KPWB to schedule a large-scale community cleanup for their organization, whether you have 20 or 200 eager volunteers. These cleanups are focus on areas that have not received cleanups regularly, leading to safety and environmental concerns. The program also provides opportunities for various community and youth organizations seeking to complete a community service project. Pre-event litter education, safety training, refreshments, snack and supplies are all provided. Through this program, a decrease in the number of littered areas is expected, returning ownership to the community for the reduction of litter.
Great American Cleanup Seasonal Campaign
KPWB provides the supplies in our complimentary litter bags, filled with trash bags, gloves, vests, grabbers, first-aid kit, bottled water and landfill vouchers (plus goodies for kids that participate!). Communities are encouraged to host a cleanup in both the Fall and Spring to ensure that their communities stay clean, green and beautiful. To register a Fall (September – November) or Spring (March – June) cleanup, click here.
To learn about the Great American Cleanup National Campaign, click here.
Neighborhood Cleanups
Is your neighborhood in need of a little TLC? Organizing a neighborhood cleanup is a great opportunity to get to know your neighbors and beautify your community at the same time.
If you are planning an opportunity for residents to dispose of household or backyard junk and clutter you will need to arrange a dumpster for your event, preferably a large container called a "roll-off dumpster."
- If you want to arrange a dumpster cleanup accessible to your neighborhood residents only, you will need to work with a local waste hauler. Keep Prince William Beautiful can help you by providing "landfill vouchers" to allow the contents of your dumpster to be disposed of for free at Prince William County's Sanitary Landfill. Mentioning these vouchers to your local haulers may help you to negotiate a better price!
- Another option is to coordinate your cleanup day with the free dumpsters that are offered by Prince William County government at their annual Dumpster Days. Dumpster Days are held at central locations in different areas of the county during the spring or fall. Some of these events also may also include free document shredding. For more information and a schedule of County Dumpster Days, click here.
Please keep in mind that some materials cannot be accepted at the County's Landfill as part of regular trash and must be disposed of separately. Prince William County provides special locations where these items may be dropped off for recycling and/or special handling. In addition to certain hazardous materials, residents may also drop-off electronic equipment (computers, televisions, cell phones, etc.) at the County's Landfill and Balls Ford Road Composting Facility for recycling. For more information on the PWC Household Hazardous Waste and Electronics Recycling Program, click here.

I've pretty much rebuilt as much as I can, with just one pesky 30 day BoA CC from 2008 that won't budge. I've been pulling only EQ every so often as sort of a barometer to the improvements.
However, I've been seeing an ad on TV for some service, where the individual in question has a score in the 790s, 780s, and then one in the 580s. I'm not sure if this is for effect, or an actual possibility. Can there really be a 200 point difference between, say, TU and EQ? Or can we reasonably assume that if one report is pulled, the other two are probably within +/- 40 points or so (this also seems to be validated by looking at various people's Fico Challenge signatures - every step of the way, their scores all seem to be grouped within a reasonable amount of error.)
Not all CC report to all three agencies. So, if you have a really bad history with a CC that only reports to TU, your TU could be really low even though your EQ/EX are high.
My EX score is much higher because there is not a judgment that is listed on EQ and TU.
myFICO is the consumer division of FICO. Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.>> About myFICO

I ran out of books on Father's Day. I read fast, so this happens a lot, but like a drunk who always keeps a fresh bottle on hand for when his current one runs low, I like to have another book in the pipeline before I hit the last chapter. This time, though, I just didn't plan ahead. So I went to the bookshelves and picked something worth a second read.
I chose Junky, William Burroughs's quasi-autobiographical account of a life spent banging morphine, and took it with me to Johnny's Diner for my Sunday-afternoon meditation. Usually I go where I can have a couple of pots of coffee and smoke a few cigarettes -- Breakfast King, Tom's Diner, even Village Inn -- but Johnny's makes a good, greasy bacon, egg and cheese sandwich, and even though I can't smoke there, one of those monsters and a bright-pink cherry shake is worth the sacrifice.
On Father's Day, the place was a madhouse. Shell-shocked dads who'd obviously been awakened at some godawful hour by their screeching brood were staggering around the crowded plastic-and-Americana dining room, ferrying trays of cheeseburgers and Denver omelettes between the pass-through window and the tables. Over-excited children were barfing milkshakes in the aisles. I saw one dad wandering zombie-like toward the doors, a kid in each arm, still wearing a cardboard cut-out tie on a string around his neck with HAPPY FATHERS DAY written on it in glitter paint and macaroni; another dad sat staring wistfully out the window at the gleaming, candy-apple-red classic 'Vette parked by the front door while his daughter tried to cram a breakfast burrito up her nose.

Category: Restaurant > Korean
Region: Aurora

Bi bim bop: $7.99
And then there was me, tucked into a corner booth, quietly eating my sandwich and reading about the perils of morphine addiction. I spend a lot of time now in shirts and ties nibbling escargot and ahi and microgreens, and while I love every minute, it sometimes feels like a rejection of my baloney-on-white-bread upbringing. Places like Johnny's are where I go to reconnect, to recharge the memory cells of a hundred family meals eaten at places just like this. And Burroughs? Well, he's a touchstone to a different part of my past.
According to Wild Bill: "As the geologist looking for oil is guided by certain outcroppings of rock, so certain signs indicate the near presence of junk. Junk is often found adjacent to ambiguous or transitional districts...stores selling artificial limbs, wig-makers, dental mechanics, loft manufacturers of perfume, pomades, novelties, essential oils. A point where dubious business enterprise touches Skid Row."
Sure, he's talking about scoring M, which he had a legendary dowser's sense for finding. These days, though, I go through the same process trying to discover great restaurants. I look in similar places for my kick of choice, and, like Bill, sometimes I get lucky and sometimes I don't. Edge neighborhoods - such as this triangular slice of Aurora, from Mexico to Parker, bounded by Havana and then over to the I-225 interchange -- breed little ethnic joints like a petri dish does bacteria. The rents are cheap, space is plentiful, and while there might not be many tooth mechanics or wig-makers, there are plenty of after-market car shops, comic-book stores and acupuncture clinics -- the modern equivalent.
Those six or seven square blocks hold probably fifty restaurants that run the gamut from Japanese, Chinese and Vietnamese to Indian, Mexican, Irish and Eastern European. At Havana and Iliff is an American enclave, centered by Johnny's (and there's nothing quite so wholly and obsessively American as a late breakfast at Johnny's), with Dozens and Jus Cookin's visible from its parking lot. And that was another reason I'd come to Johnny's for breakfast: I wanted to start in the center before I went off looking for something a little to the left of it.
I ended up at Han Kang, which sits in a strip mall near the point of the triangle at the corner of Havana and Jewell, next to a piano lounge and attached to the flank of Sir Loin's Meat Shop. Han Kang is to Johnny's as the Cocteau Twins are to Lynyrd Skynyrd: polar opposites. The nearly two-year-old Korean family eatery was cool, quiet and, if not exactly dignified, then certainly muffled by comparison. The smiling servers were soft-footed, the giant TV kept to a murmur. The noisiest thing about the place was the food -- everything bubbling and sloshing -- and the splashy mural of an impressionistic Denver skyline that ran the length of one wall. The other three walls were papered with dozens of sheets of colored construction paper carefully filled with blocky Korean writing. Specials, I'm guessing, since there were prices on some of them, but I couldn't be sure. Hung everywhere -- on walls, in windows, from the service bar and soda machine -- they looked like poetry to me, written in an alien language I didn't understand.
Han Kang's menu was completely Korean, with all the native specialties. There was non-threatening bulgogi, soy-sweet and sugary beef piled on top of caramelized onions with a strong dose of sesame oil. Bi bim bop--as much fun to eat as it is to say -- was like a tiny Korean buffet muddled up on one plate, with carrots and daikon, vinegar-brined greens, bean sprouts and shreds of marinated beef topped off with a fried egg and served with rice. The bi bim nengmyun-- vermicelli noodles with sliced rib-eye, slivered radish, green squash and half-moons of cucumber -- was similar to a Vietnamese noodle bowl, but leaning more to the sweet side.

Scuz respects his captain greatly and does whatever he tells him to do, despite being shot out of a cannon himself after running out of ammunition. One of his jobs is to fire the cannons, which are either loaded with cannonballs in order to slow down or stop anyone who tries to mess with them, or Poké Balls, containing the captain's Tentacruel.
Once Misty got on board their ship, she tied up Scuz along with his captain and waited for Officer Jenny to arrest them.
