One In Three North American Insurers Feels Inadequately Protected Against Fraud, According To FICO Survey
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE: FICO), a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today released the results of a survey of U.S. and Canadian insurers showing that one in three insurers does not feel adequately protected against fraud. The survey, which focused on insurance claims fraud, revealed that insurers feel most vulnerable in the areas of premium leakage and new applications, when policyholders often underestimate or leave out such information as annual auto mileage that would have an adverse effect on the cost of the policy.

In the survey, 35 percent of insurers estimated that insurance fraud costs represent 5-10 percent of their total claims, while 31 percent said the cost is as high as 20 percent. More than half (57 percent) of insurers expect to see an increase in fraud losses this year on personal insurance lines – policies designed to protect individuals and families – while only 5 percent of insurers expect to see a decline in dollar fraud losses on personal lines. In the U.S., 42 percent of insurers foresee the mid-Atlantic states ( New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey) as being hardest hit by personal lines fraud. In Canada, 42 percent of insurers foresee Quebec as being hardest hit by personal lines fraud, and 39 percent foresee Ontario as being hardest hit.
Respondents also said they expect the biggest fraud loss increases to hit personal property, workers' compensation and auto insurance. In terms of fraud by individual policyholders, 58 percent of insurers forecast an increase in personal property fraud, 69 percent forecast an increase in workers' compensation fraud, and 56 percent forecast a rise in personal auto fraud. The majority of insurers (51 percent) attributed the increases in fraud to inconsistent economic recovery in low-growth areas.

All M.P.s and P.M. of India
Subject : way to improve our standards ! way to stop corruption... way to overall progress of the country... Welcome to ArthaKranti!
ArthaKranti proposal is a designed technical correction that can completely transform the current Indian socio-economic scenario. We firmly believe that implementation of this proposal would enable 'Principled, Prosperous and Peaceful living' for all citizens of our country.
In addition to strengthening the Nation internally, this proposal will enable India to realise her potential and command the respect that she deserves internationally. And from such position of strength, we can lead the rest of the world towards the only sustainable possibility - the thought that has been treasured and propounded by India for centuries - 'Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam' or 'mankind as one big global family'!.
We have no doubt that this proposal will be implemented, mainly because of the serious problems demanding resolution. However, rather than wait for this happening after a lot of damage has occurred, we citizens should strive to make it happen as early as possible.
This endeavour will only become successful when every concerned citizen lends his or her valuable support to this cause and uses every possible means to pressurise the Government through our elected representatives to form a Committee and take this proposal towards implementation.
1. Withdrawal of existing taxation system completely – except import duties
2. Every transaction routed through a bank will attract a certain deduction (say 2%) as Transaction tax. This is a single point Tax deducted at source. This deduction will be effected on receiving/credits account only. This deducted amount will be credited to different Government levels like Central (say 0.7%), State (say 0.6%), and Local (say 0.35%)
3. The transacting Bank will also have its share (say 0.35%) since it has a key role to perform.
4. Withdrawal of high denomination currency (above Rs.50)
5. Government will make a legal provision to restrict single cash transactions up to a certain limit (say Rs.2000)6. Through a one time Voluntary Disclosure Scheme, all existing high denomination currency is deposited in bank accounts after deduction of Transaction tax in appropriate percentage.

Our previous Governments are more interested in prosecution of Tax evaders without simplifying the Tax System. I Fully agree with Artha Kranthi
Proposal. Our only Dynamic Non-Corrupt PM Mr.Narendra Modi can implement. As a citizen of India I am expecting this proposal to take-off as sooner as possible

The winners of the Worldwide Innovative Teacher Awards, presented my Microsoft Partners in Learning were announced Friday at Microsoft's 2009 Worldwide Innovative Education Forum (IEF) being held in Salvador, Brazil. The awards recognize teachers who demonstrate exemplary use of technology in the classroom to improve student learning.
Entrants the world over apply technology to all subjects and facets of education, with winning projects covering topics ranging from cultural tolerance to spreadsheet games to insect behavior. From thousands of contenders in regional and national contests, 250 winners were in contention for the international awards. Fourteen winners were named at the forum in Brazil, with best practice winners and first and second runners-up named in each of four categories; an award in one category was shared by two colleagues, and one runner-up slot resulted in a tie.
Thirty-six education experts from 23 countries served on this year's judging panel. "Every year the submissions seem to get better and better, and this year is no exception," said Judge Eduardo O.C. Chaves of Brazil. "The level of sophistication of these entries shows that teachers are continuing to innovate and expand the ways they use technology to help students all over the world realize their potential."
Winning Best Practice (First Prize) in the Educators' Choice category for her project on indigenous plants, Moliehi Sekese of Lesotho said "Just being here and seeing how teachers from all over the world are enriching the lives of students is ultimately even more rewarding."
The 2010 IEF and Innovative Teacher Awards are slated to be held in Cape Town, South Africa. Educators wishing to inquire into entering projects in the competition can visit the Microsoft Partners in Learning Web site here. A complete list of 2009 award winners can be found here.

Love him or hate him, Ed Koch was New York in the 1980s, and Koch's bio account of his mayoral tenure offers almost equal measures of celebration and censure. Director Neil Barsky's film never shies away from Koch's controversies, exploring his third term's devastating corruption scandal and giving voice to critics who viewed him as, among other things, a racist (thanks to his closing of Harlem's Sydenham Hospital), a hypocritical homophobe (courtesy of persistent rumors of his gayness and his administration's slow response to the AIDS crisis), and an "opportunist." Still, Koch nonetheless also finds time to flirt with hagiography. In copious archival clips and contemporary footage with family, campaigning for others, and having the Queensboro Bridge named after him, Koch is presented as a no-nonsense loudmouth whose love of New York was matched only by his love of attention. The film has to skim — less a failing of Barsky's than a testament to Koch's involvement in so many pressing social and economic issues, including his landmark housing-reform work and his response to the murder of Yusef Hawkins. Still, if unlikely to change anyone's mind about its subject, it's an effective primer on a voluble and charismatic mayor who embodied the spirit of the city he loved.

Clark Gregg
When Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premiered last fall, the drama failed to live up to the hype. This is because even though S.H.I.E.L.D. premiered in September, the series had to wait until Captain America was released in April to reveal HYDRA had infiltrated the organization, completely changing the direction of the show. That means they spent nearly eight months simply biding time! But once S.H.I.E.L.D. was shut down and clean-cut Agent Ward (Brett Dalton) was revealed to be a sleeper HYDRA agent, the tide began to turn in the show's favor. But was it too little too late?
Executive producer Jeff Bell talked to TVGuide.com about the show's negative reception, what's in store for Season 2 and why fans should give it a second chance.
Kyle MacLachlan
It looks like one of the biggest mysteries on Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be resolved in the early part of Season 2.

Johnny Sequoyah, Delroy Lindo
It's hard not to want to believe in talents like Alfonso Cuaron (of the amazing Gravity) and J.J. Abrams (no TV explanation necessary). These two very busy visionaries lend their names, and Cuaron his directing chops (in the pilot episode, anyway), for NBC's otherwise painfully derivative Believe (Monday, 10/9c), which plays like one of those middling Stephen King melodramas about supernaturally gifted children on the run for their lives.
Cuaron elevates the stock clichés with visual motifs of a butterfly providing mystical guidance and a dizzying flock of pigeons (my idea of a living nightmare) subduing a Big Bad Female Assassin in a loft. It's a handsome looking pilot, even at its most predictably familiar. And as Bo, the spunky little girl whose psychic and paranormal gifts seem to have no end — or, maddeningly, definition — Johnny Sequoyah is agreeable company, never too cute even when the script calls for Bo to be cloyingly precious. Because believe it or not, Believe feels it necessary to squelch the chase-thriller elements with schmaltzy subplots reminiscent of Fox's short-lived Touch. Bo knows goodness, and in between close calls as she eludes her well-funded potential kidnappers, she somehow finds time to inspire a young doctor to get past his crisis of confidence.
Marianne Jean-Baptiste
NBC's midseason drama Believe has enlisted Without a Trace alum Marianne Jean-Baptiste for a recurring role, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.
In Believe, an unlikely relationship develops between a young girl named Bo (Johnny Sequoyah) with a gift and her father Tate (Jake McLaughlin) when he's sprung from prison and tasked with protecting her from the evildoers who covet her power.

Nick who? That's what fans of The Good Wife are — thankfully — asking after a recent string of strong episodes have erased the unpleasant first half of Season 4 from memory. In September, the legal drama (airing Sundays at 9/8c) suffered a rare critical misfire when it introduced Kalinda's (Archie Panjabi) cold and abrasive estranged husband Nick (Marc Warren), who was not popular with the fans. No irreparable damage was done, but for a show that was regularly in critics' top 10 lists during its first three seasons, the negative attention was surprising. Producers caught on and quickly expunged Nick. Less than four months later, the show is stronger than ever. So how'd they do it? Here's seven ways...

Question: Along with Parenthood, The Good Wife is in my opinion still one of the best dramas on network TV. And the mock trial episode was, as you recently noted, the best so far of the season. However, I have recently been feeling that this show has been lacking, not necessarily in quality (with the exception of the whole Kalinda's husband debacle), but in freshness. For me the show has been very stagnant. A case here, a little Will/Alicia flirtation there, mixed in with Peter's campaign and/or Eli's troubles. Every week is pretty much the same thing with a different guest star. Nothing seems to be new or fresh. What's most frustrating about the lack of freshness is how easily they could remedy that. I would be extremely interested in watching what Cary proposed unfold, for he and Alicia to form their own firm. Watching Cary and Alicia go head to head with Will and Diane would be a welcome change to the same old same old.

|The Art of Rare Breeds:
A Visual Exploration
of Farm Animal Conservation
For the last year I have been pursuing images of Minor Breed farm animals in a project now known as "The Art of Rare Breeds: A Visual Exploration of Farm Animal Conservation." During the previous twelve months I have visited large operations, small farms, farm parks, and individual breeders with one purpose: to observe and capture some of the spirit, character, and individuality of rare breed farm animals.
To say that this has been an evolving project is an understatement. I must admit, when I first began the rare breeds project I did so out of a fascination with the phrase "rare breeds" itself, paired as it was with domesticated animals. I could understand the term "rare" as applied to elephants, say, or cheetahs, or even orchids. But farm animals? This merited investigation, so I naively began the quest for information about rare breeds. I first saw them as a curiosity, perhaps an oddity, collectible anyway and certainly precious. The more I have learned about this area of animal husbandry the more I have come to realize what is actually encompassed by the term "heritage breeds," and how wrong my initial assessments were.
Early on, Dr. Donald Bixby of the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy offered many helpful suggestions; as a result my naivete grew to be an understanding of animal conservation as rooted in agricultural biodiversity, and the critical role that diversity plays in our future. Wide gene pools give species flexibility to adapt to change. Today agribusiness favors a high-yield, highly consistent animal, which produces high yields in confinement settings. As a result, corporate farms are populated with animals lacking genetic diversity. Characteristics, which are good for production now, however, may become undesirable if farming conditions change. In response, a movement to conserve disappearing species of domestic animals, and hence genetic diversity, began in the 1970's and continues today. I am deeply curious about these animals (both historically and functionally) and the groups of people who have dedicated themselves to conserving them.
As an illustrator this is a rich topic to pursue. It is one thing to draw and paint a subject based solely on its beautiful visual properties. Occasionally artists do that, myself included. However, as an illustrator I am strongly drawn to storytelling through text and images. Of course the story here is biodiversity, but it is also a story of commitment; the commitment of hardy souls conserving genetic diversity for generations yet to come. Most of my illustration work is based in humor; this is one serious topic - where is the humor in it? The humor I seek is the kind found in our daily experience - that which lightens up a tough experience, a difficult task, or a mundane workday. Humorous characteristics found in the personalities of both people and animals are undeniable and help make us who we are - individuals. This kind of humor transforms the rocky path of life into a passable road, and my experiences to date have demonstrated that heritage breeders often face a rocky path indeed.
The real thrill of the project has been meeting the animals and the people who are their dedicated stewards. Typically I visit the animals on site, take photographs, make sketches, and talk with the owner or hands - often both. From these visits have come a multitude of humorous insights and instances which have become artwork. Some of the highlights of the last year have included: returning a particularly pungent rental car to the Kansas City Airport, its front passenger seat licked clean by an overly friendly steer; losing part of my winter coat to a Fainting Goat's curious teeth; falling asleep to the bleating of Cotswold Sheep and waking up, naturally, to an especially energetic rooster; and wearing more manure in the name of art than I ever thought I would. And then there is being sunburned, insect ridden, and frostbitten, sometimes all in the same week. In short, every moment has been an absolute joy.
So where does this series end? I'm not sure. To this point I have taken hundred of photographs, created numerous sketches and completed 15 paintings. The opportunity to show the work created thus far at the recent ALBC National Conference was a most welcome venue, and I am currently working on a book for children which illuminates agricultural biodiversity issues using rare breed animals. It is my hope that the myriad tend results - a book, a CD-ROM, or further shows - will add to the education of others as I have been educated. That will be the truest measure of success.

Is it me just me but naming an airport after someone who was the co-pilot of a plane that crashed into a mountainside seems not to be a good omen. But I am glad to see that the airport is ready to offer airline service to the area. Nothing worse than driving to Tocumen.

A new one-man show conceived and written in a New York prison makes its off-Broadway debut with a lot of laughs and perhaps a greater understanding of what life is like on the inside. NY1's Stephanie Simon filed the following report.
Joseph Assadourian spent 12 years in prison for attempted murder. He hopes to go back, not to stay, but to perform his new one man show where it was written, Otisville Correctional Institution in upstate New York.
"I've always mimicked people. I've always done that since, you know, as far as I can remember. I used to get in trouble for it in school," Assadourian says. "But I mean, now, it's, you know, it's rewarding. And while I was there, and when I sat down to write this, these are basically real people."
Two years ago, while incarcerated, Assadourian took a theater workshop with New York actor and director Richard Hoeler. Joe began with a five-minute monologue of impersonations.
"We started inside in the prison, which was really strange to be having him playing guards and the guards are right outside the door, and they're opening the door, 'What's going on in here?'" Hoeler said.
Joe was released in October. Now, with Hoeler's help, his new show, "The Bullpen," has just started an open-ended run at the Playroom Theater on West 46th Street. Joe plays 18 characters in all, including a baseball fan.
First character: That's English. Second character: English? Say it again, slow. First character: Derek Jeter. Second character: Derek Jeter. First character: See, I told you it was the Yankees," Assadourian says on stage.
He also plays an inmate of few words.
"We over here like, 'You know what I'm saying?' You over here like, 'You know what I mean?'"
Simon: Joe, you do a lot of impersonations. Can you do a TV reporter?Assadourian: Yeah, I can do a TV reporter. So how exactly did you think the interview went today? Unfortunately, that's all the time we have for that particular question. Back to you in the studio, Robin."
Amid the laughs, there is perhaps also understanding.
"I've made, you know, terrible mistakes, but I mean, I am the person that did that, but I'm not that person anymore," Assadourian says.
"I think the arts are just absolutely one of the most healing things we can have," Hoeler says.

There are cute and quirky things written in magic marker on the windows.
The menu is quite limited and they are only open for lunch and dinner. There are appetizers such as the veggie satays. We weren't sure what they were made of- it was a soy based product like tempeh perhaps. One satay tasted so much like shrimp, I couldn't believe it was vegetarian. We also had the vegetarian dumplings which were filled with mushroom and pan-fried till crispy in that yummy oily way.
The soup of the day was beetroot and was a little watery. They also sometimes have soups like carrot pumpkin. We also ordered the Garden Salad which was made with fresh greens, mixed mushroom and herbs and nuts. It was fairly large and almost good for 2 - 3 as an appetizer. The dressing was vinegar and honey. The most attractive thing about this delicious dish was the price - 28 HKD!
For mains we ordered the Beetroot Pate Cheese Burger and Lasagna. The Burger we had was very nicely presented. Beetroot burger is not everybody's cup of tea and to be honest it was mediocre. But at least all the ingredients were very fresh and healthy. The lasagna didn't really taste like the typical lasagna you would find in an Italian restaurant. There was something much lighter about it. Again the dish was edible but nothing out of this world.
We loved the roasted potato and pumpkin wedges which we ordered on the side. They were perfectly seasoned and extremely tasty. There's also has a retail corner where you can buy various vegetarian ingredients for your home-cooked meal.
Overall, we do recommend this place as the décor is super cute and has such a unique atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you'd just love to lounge and loiter over a cup of coffee. We especially love this venue for a rainy day. They also have Wi-fi- so it's also a good place to camp out with your laptop. On top of that, the prices are very affordable and if you're a vegetarian, it's a great alternate place to have your special dietary needs satisfied.

This cartoon was originally posted on July 16, 2003. From CNN: Iran's supreme leader warns protesters.
Iran's supreme leader is warning the thousands of people who have been protesting last week's presidential vote to maintain self-restraint or face a stiff reaction from authorities.
Members of the opposition -- who have staged noisy demonstrations for the last six days to protest what they believe was a rigged election -- are weighing their options after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei drew a line in the sand during his all-important sermon during Friday prayers. ...
Human rights monitor Amnesty International issued a statement on Friday saying Khamenei's sermon "indicates the authorities' readiness to launch violent crackdowns if people continue to protest which may cause a widespread loss of life."
"We are extremely disturbed at statements made by Ayatollah Khamenei which seem to give the green light to security forces to violently handle protesters exercising their right to demonstrate and express their views," said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, Amnesty's deputy director of the Middle East and North Africa program.
"If large numbers of people take to the street in protests in the next couple of days, we fear that they will face arbitrary arrest and excessive use of force, as has happened in recent days."
From The Washtington Post: Opposition Protesters Clash With Riot Police in Tehran.
Security forces blocked downtown streets Saturday and used tear gas, water cannons, batons and warning shots to break up a demonstration against the reelection of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, as his chief political opponent called for a national strike in the event of his arrest and said he was prepared to sacrifice his life for his cause. ...
The Associated Press reported that 50 to 60 protesters were seriously beaten by police and militiamen and taken to a hospital in central Tehran. Demonstrators could be seen dragging away comrades bloodies by baton strikes, AP said.
Members of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard Corps, riot police in full gear and members of the pro-government Basij militia were deployed in force to try to keep protesters from gathering or to corral them in side streets and alleys so they could not get to the square, the main starting point of the planned rally.
From National Post: Social media breaks through Iran censorship.
Social media websites became the front lines in Iran's nascent revolution on Tuesday, after the government banned foreign media from reporting on ever-growing protests in the wake of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's disputed re-election last week.
"No journalist has permission to report or film or take pictures in the city," a Culture Ministry official in Tehran told Reuters on Tuesday, after Iran cancelled accreditation and banned all foreign journalists from leaving their offices to cover the widespread unrest.
And while censorship efforts also appeared to be targeting ordinary citizens and websites, users around the globe joined in online efforts aimed at circumventing the crackdown, protecting information sources within Iran and getting their story out, against the government's will.

From RealClearPolitics: The Lawless State Comes to America by Robert Tracinski.
America's traditional legal system is all about laws and rights and contracts-a fine web of protections for the rights of the individual-and that tends to get in the way of vast schemes for government disposal of our lives and wealth.
So President Obama has decided to throw out that existing legal system and knock down the protections for individual rights.
Our first major warning of this is the deal being forced on Chrysler's "secured creditors." These are institutions that loaned money to Chrysler when it was in trouble; they were willing to take the risk because they were relying on a legal principle which gives them first claim on the company's assets in case of bankruptcy. Thus, in the worst case scenario, they expected to reclaim as much as 80 cents on each dollar of their investment, limiting their losses.
But the Obama administration wants them to accept only 29 cents on the dollar, in the name of "sacrifice." The beneficiary of this sacrifice is the United Auto Workers, a Democratic pressure group which is being shoved to the front of the line and favored above the secured creditors.
How did Obama get these creditors to relinquish their rights? Major banks who have taken TARP money caved in first. When they were dragooned into taking government money last fall, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson swore that the government would not interfere in their operations or dictate their decisions-except, apparently, for dictating how much they lend, how much they pay their executives, how much they accept as a buyout in major bankruptcy cases, and so on.
As for the non-TARP lenders, Obama has publicly singled them out as villains to be punished-and one prominent bankruptcy lawyer says that Obama's minions have been making direct threats to ruin firms who don't accept the sacrifice of their rights. Tom Lauria of White & Case, which represents several of the secured creditors, explains in a radio interview that "One of my clients was directly threatened by the White House and in essence compelled to withdraw its opposition to the deal under threat that the full force of the White House press corps would destroy its reputation if it continued to fight."
Venture capitalist Bill Frezza succinctly sums up the meaning of the Chrysler deal: "There's no law to protect the politically unfavored in this country."
From The Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights: Misrepresenting How We Arrived at This Moment by By Alex Epstein.
While Obama has not sought a real explanation of todays economic problems, Americans should. Otherwise, we will simply swallow solutions that dogmatically assume the free market got us here--namely, Obamas plans to swamp this country in an ocean of government debt, government controls, and government make-work projects. But alternative, free-market explanations for the crisis do exist--ones that consider the inconvenient facts Washington ignores--and every American should seek to understand them.
Those who do will likely end up telling our leaders to stop saying Yes, we can to each new proposal for expanding government power, and start saying Yes, you can to Americans who seek to exercise their right to produce and trade on a free market.
March 15, 2009
From The Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights: Obamas Backward Economics by Yaron Brook.
Barack Obama claims that Americans can only stave off economic disaster by trillions in government spending--which means trillions of dollars taxed or borrowed to finance government make-work programs, said Yaron Brook, executive director of the Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights. Obama-nomics couldnt be more wrong. Prosperity requires that the government drastically cut government spending. That way, as much real capital as possible will remain in private hands, and be put to productive use by entrepreneurs to create valuable goods and services to sell at home and abroad. By taxing and inflating our wealth away, Obama will simply be creating more of the crushing debt that brought about the current crisis.From RealClearPolitics: The "Can-Do" Economy-Killer by Robert Tracinski.
Obama is offering the basic Roosevelt method or formula: buoyant American "can-do" optimism--in the service of the economy-killing agenda of a high-taxing, high-spending welfare and regulatory state. Get the people to love you for giving them a pep talk that lifts their spirits--even as you impose policies that dash their hopes.
If Obama is identical to FDR in his basic method, all we can hope that he does not achieve the same result: another ten years of economic collapse.
From Capitalism Magazine: Obama's Plans Will 'Work' -- To Breed Servile Dependence by Richard Salsman.
Oddly, these [conservative] critics [of Obama's economic policies] bestow undeserved compliments on their political opponents and thus provide them with crucial political cover. By implicitly praising their enemys underlying motives, these critics effectively shield them from justified criticism. The critics who argue this way including Rush Limbaugh unwittingly carry water for President Obama. By insisting the schemes wont work, the critics mean they wont work to grow the economy wont revive the stock market wont fix the banks wont attract capitalists on strike wont bolster job creation and wont lift the poor out of poverty. Well, all thats true, but its false to assume the Obama administration actually wants to achieve these things.
In fact, it wants no such thing.
It has other ideas -- a wholly opposite aim.
Besides a desire for re-election, shared by all politicians, at root the Obama Administration wants individuals and firms to become more dependent on government. That requires not merely a more intensive redistribution of wealth to the needy (whether needy people or needy firms), but also programs and plans that might proliferate the ranks of the needy, even if that requires turning otherwise healthy people and firms into unhealthy, needy ones.

Sunday 19 May 2013
Ahead of Monday's final of the Barclays Under-21 Premier League between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford, premierleague.com is taking a closer look at the two teams.
For United, more than half the players who have featured in the competition are British, but one of the stars of the Under-21 team has been Adnan Januzaj, who has played 18 times, scoring one goal. The 18-year-old was born in Brussels and signed for United from Anderlecht in July 2011. After a promising start, injury curtailed his progress but this season he has been influential pulling the strings from midfield as well as working his influence from the flanks and at free-kicks. His displays prompted praise from Sir Alex Ferguson recently.
"Adnan is a beautifully-balanced player," said Ferguson. "He's only 18 and has to grow into his frame but he has good balance, good acceleration and is a very good technical player. He and Nick Powell, of the younger players, are at the top."
He was also voted the club's Under-21 player of the year by United fans this season.
"Adnan and Nick Powell, of the younger players, are at the top"
Sir Alex Ferguson
Januzaj recently revealed more about his season with the Under-21s to United Review, the club's matchday programme.
Have you been pleased with your impact at Under-21 level?
Yes. I always try to do my best in every game and try to get in the team. Hopefully, I can try to get in the first team in the future as well.
You had a taste of the action in the pre-season friendly at Aberdeen. How did you enjoy it?
It was a good experience. I really liked it and I hope it won't be the last time that I play with the first team. I will keep working hard to try and get into the first team. I hope to have a big career at Manchester United.
Did you find it a step up at that level, as you managed to impress?
I think I did well. I always try to work hard for the team and not only for myself. I was really pleased to be with the first team. It was a good feeling and means you have more confidence and can play better.
Was it difficult to leave Anderlecht as they said you were earmarked for the first team there?
It was tough but, when you are coming to Manchester United, it is one of the biggest clubs in the world so you come here with the ambition to try and get in the first team of Manchester United. It's a much bigger thing.
Is it a brave thing to do at such a young age?
It's a big decision but you know you always have to keep working. Even if you make a big step, the work carries on until it pays off and you will do something in your career. I have to keep working and do my best.
What have you learned since moving to United?
I have learned a lot of things. When I came here with the Under-18s with Paul McGuinness and the Reserves with Warren Joyce, I have learned loads of things in England with those coaches. Clearly, they are really good coaches and I always try to listen to what they say and do my best to follow their advice. I get to work on what they tell me.
You often play in a floating role – is that your favourite position?
I always try to do my best in each position really. I still keep working hard wherever I play. Even if I need to be in defence, I am still doing my best.
But you're a creative player so is it important you get on the ball as much as you can?
I really like to play with the ball at my feet. It is more my type of play than defending. I take the set-pieces as well and always try to deliver the best ball I can and do something for the team to help my team-mates.
How rewarding was it to hear Sir Alex talk about your potential?
Of course, it was great. He is a big coach, the boss, and it's a good feeling. I always want to do better and better but it felt good and was a really big step for me. I hope to achieve something at Manchester United.
No matter how cold it is, Sir Alex is often at the matches.
I love this. He is a big coach, you can't say anything more about him as he is one of the best in the world, but I don't think other team's managers come to watch the Under-18s and the Reserves. But it's really professional here and I really like it at United. I feel good here.
Warren Joyce also said you really want to be a footballer. It sounds simple but is this a vital trait?
Ever since I was five, I've loved to play football and always had the ball at my feet. I am just trying to make a career in it because I really love football and I hope to keep going and do something for the future.
So, finally, what are your ambitions?
I came here to do something and focus on my football. I may be in the Under-21s but it's good to try and get in the first team even when you're 18 as well. I would love to go on tour with the first team but we'll see. I have just got to keep going.
For the full interview with Januzaj and other Under-21 players go to ManUtd.com
You can go to watch Januzaj and the best youngsters at Spurs and United at Old Trafford for just £2. Entrance to the Barclays Under-21 final will be available on the night at Old Trafford.

Movie Synopsis:
Cale Bryant (Corbin Bleu) needed someone to believe in him. Ever since he was young, he's wanted to race motocross professionally; but after a string of bad luck hits his family hard, the would-be champion is forced to put his dreams on hold. All that changes when he meets Alex (Sandra Echeverría, star of Telemundo's "Marina"), a beautiful girl who gives Cale encouragement, support and an old bike so that he can get back in the game again. Now, with Alex by his side, Cale takes on the challenge of his life: to beat the odds and cross the finish line a winner. Free Style also stars Penelope Ann Miller (Kindergarten Cop) and Madison Pettis (The Game Plan), and features music from star Corbin Bleu and The Jonas Brothers!
My review:
I have kids who range in age from 7 to 15, both girls and boys. I am pleased to say that this movie had something that appealed to all of them in one way or another. It had love and friendship and heartfelt moments, which the girls liked. Of course it didn't hurt that Corbin Bleu of High School Musical fame was the star. The teenage girls think he's a looker. The music played in the movie by The Jonas Brothers and Corbin Bleu was enthusiastically enjoyed by the girls as well.
The boys were enthused with the sports and competition aspect of it. Logan didn't care much for the "lovey dovey" parts of the movie between Alex and Cale, but he's at the stage in life where love and girls are icky. I found this movie to be geared more towards the tween and teen age groups. However, I'm an adult in her 30s who liked it and wouldn't mind watching it again.

Current Articles
By Wayne Vidler
-- Dec. 29, 2006, was a cold morning in Coleman County, Texas, and I was on the downside of the rut. I was hunting all day off a heavily used trail, which led to a winter oat field I had planted the previous September.
I had placed a pop-up blind 25 yards south of the trail. Several does and some small 8-point bucks came by that morning. The day warmed up a little bit, but I knew that a winter storm was approaching. My plan was to try to take a doe or a quality buck with the new bow I got for Christmas.
Sure enough, at about 1:30, I knew the storm had arrived when sleet began to patter the roof. I noticed out of the corner of the blind that a doe was coming onto the field, and she looked nervous. The doe kept looking behind her, and she exited the field pretty quickly. "This ain't my first rodeo," as they say, and I wasn't surprised when a buck stepped into the field on the doe's path. He had his nose to the ground and wasn't paying attention to anything else.
Fortunately for me, he stopped 30 yards in front of my blind to look at another doe that was watching him from across the field. I had already drawn back my bow when the buck offered a perfect broadside shot. I slowly touched the release, and the arrow went perfectly through both lungs.
I was so excited that I didn't see the other doe across the field. The buck ran out of sight into a mesquite thicket next to the winter oats. I waited about an hour to get my heart rate back down and give the buck some time before I took up the trail.
After those long 60 minutes of waiting, I slipped out of my blind and walked to the spot where the buck had stood. I noticed hair and some blood on the ground, indicating the direction he'd gone. When I got to the thicket it only took a moment before I saw a white belly about 40 yards in. What a memorable day and experience for my first buck with a bow.

Do you own a small-to-medium-sized business? If so, you probably haven't considered ever creating a television commercial to help promote your business. Why? Because it's just way too expensive. Plus you're probably noticing that TV ads are rapidly losing their effectiveness for helping to sell products and services. With all of this being said, it doesn't mean creating commercials for your small business is a bad idea. Notice I didn't say, "…creating TV commercials…". New video recording, editing, publishing, and promoting tools are popping up everyday, which brings down the costs for creating a commercial for your business.
Say goodbye to this…
Create a Marketing Plan for Your Commercial
The BIGGEST piece of shooting a successful commercial for your business is Planning. We always say, spend two-thirds of your time planning, and one-third of your time executing your promotional campaigns. Video is no different, and actually one of the more important marketing tactics that this division of time is necessary. You don't want to re-shoot your commercial, right?
Go over what your goals for the commercial are, then develop the idea for the commercial (which should be geared towards achieving your goal and include your marketing message), write your script, and then put together a Shoot Day Guide (a list of helpful reminders for the day of the video shoot). Once all of this is taken care of, find your "talent" (if you're not going to be in the video), get them a copy of the script, explain the purpose of the commercial, and answer any questions they have. Once you've done this, it's onto shooting and editing your commercial.
Shoot and Edit Your Video with iPad
There are a number of different tools out there which can help you shoot and edit your commercial. You can purchase a video camera and editing software for your Mac or PC. You can outsource it to a video marketing company. You can also use iPad 2 to do it all for you. iPad 2 comes with a video camera. As for video editing, all it takes is an iPad app like ReelDirector 3.0 to get the job done. We recommend you use iPad for both shooting video and editing (as long as you're not looking for HD quality video). It's cost effective, easy to manage, and all occurs within one tool.
On Shoot Day be sure to arrive on location earlier than everyone else. Get everything setup (except for things that others' are responsible for) that you can, so that everyone is impressed with how prepared you are. This will set a professional tone for the shoot. Be sure to shoot video from many different angles. Yes, that means you have to record the script multiple times. That's OK. You want to be able to edit in different angles for the final video. If there are any difficult words in the video script, be sure to get the talent to say those words many different ways at the end of the shoot in case you have to edit in the word later. Capture b-roll footage, which is footage of the location, talent, etc. You can never have too much video.
Once your shoot is finished it's time to start editing. Again, video editing can be handled in a number of ways, but it's probably easiest to use a great video editing iPad app. You want to keep your commercial to 30-45 seconds as to not lose people's attention. It's also a good idea to create both an introduction and closing for the video. Maybe that's just your logo showing up on screen. Maybe it's a narration. There are a number of ways to handle the introduction and closing, but it's good to get some branding in during those portions of the commercial.
Publish Your Commercials on YouTube
As for publishing your commercial. No more do you have to bog down your website. Simply add your commercial to your YouTube Channel. YouTube is a great tool for small business owners who want to produce video content to drive sales for their business. Upload your commercial to YouTube, optimize it by adding things like a Title and Description full of keywords. After your commercial has been optimized on YouTube, it's time to start driving traffic to it.
Promote Your Commercial on Social Media
Social media channels like Facebook and Twitter are great tools for driving traffic to your commercial. You can even write a blog article about your commercial (perhaps providing background information or sharing a funny story from Shoot Day, etc.) and embed the YouTube video within your article. If the commercial is funny or informative (hopefully both) you will also benefit from viewers sharing it with friends and family, probably through social media and e-mail. Over time, you will find unique ways to get your commercial in front of your target audience. With that said, this can't happen if you don't take the time to shoot a commercial for your small business.
So, what say you? Are you envisioning a funny commercial for your business? Will you actually move forward in shooting a commercial for your small business? Today provides opportunities like never before for innovative small business owners. Take advantage. Shoot a commercial for your small business today.

NASA might create the world's coolest tool lending library
When someone working at NASA needs a new tool, they don't exactly head down to the nearest Home Depot with a purchase order. Because so many of the tools are really specialized, they tend to get custom built to order. Now NASA might create a lending library to cut costs while keeping track of all their ultra-cool custom tech tools.
NASA works with a huge number of subcontractors, so there tends to be a lot of inefficiency in the tool procurement procedures. One company will order some ultra expensive new tool, when another department already has the exact same tool and no longer uses it. The library is designed to keep track of everything and make matches whenever possible.
The library is the bright idea of Matthew Ritsko, who happens to be a financial manager at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. He put the idea forward for consideration under President Obama's SAVE Initiative, which awards the best money saving plan with a trip to present the idea to directly to the President.
You can vote for Matthew's library on the White House website, but don't start thinking that you're going to be able to borrow a titanium and carbon fiber air wrench to work on your car over the weekend. The library will only be available to NASA employees.
SAVE Initiative, via Treehugger

Before we left for the Farmer's Market on Saturday morning I thought about what I wanted to post this week. I thought about a couple of recipes that sounded good. However, once we got the the market my plans totally changed based on the vegetables that caught my eye. I first noticed these gorgeous huge tomatoes and I knew exactly what I needed to make with them.
The tomatoes needed to turn into one of my favorite types of dolmeh, Tomato Dolmeh! I am a bit particular about stuffed tomatoes. I personally like them to hold their shape and not get so overcooked that they fall apart and onto themselves. There is a very simply trick to make them so that they don't fall apart and the button doesn't get burned. The trick is to bake them without any type of liquid and place parchment paper in order to avoid the button from burning.
4 large tomateos
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 cup cooked rice
1 cup onion, small diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup parsley, packed
1 cup green onions (or chives), chopped
1/2 cup mint, packed
1 tbsp tarragon, chopped
2 tsp Advieh
1 cup tomato pulp
salt & pepper
Wash tomatoes and cut the top portion. Remove pulp with a melon baller or a paring knife and teaspoon. Make sure to take enough pulp out so that there is 1/4 of inch left on all sides of the tomato. Save pulp. Turn each tomato upside down on a paper towel.
Saute onion and minced garlic in some oil until translucent. Add meat and cook until it turns brown. Add 1 cup of chopped tomato pulp including some of the juice. Season with salt and pepper an cook uncovered until the meat cooks all the way through and the juices completely evaporate.
Fine chop parsley and mint. Add parsley, mint, tarragon, green onions, and Advieh to the meat. Mix well.
Add rice and once again mix well. Make sure to check seasoning at this point and adjust as needed. Cook for a couple of minutes longer.
Season the inside of each tomato with some salt. Don't skip this step, it totally makes a huge difference taste wise! Evenly devide the stuffing between the four tomatoes pressing down so that it all fits. Sprinkle a touch of salt on the tops and place on each corresponding tomato. Line an ovenproof dish with parchment paper, lightly spray with oil, and arrange tomatoes in the dish.
Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes. That's all there is to this recipe, pretty simple and very delicious!!!

Comment: Overall I am happy with my purchase. It most certainly seems to be a deterent for any bike thieves out there. The alarm isn't quite as loud as I thought it would be, but I think I was expecting ear drum bursting volumes.
Oceanside, CA
Comment: I ordered the alarm and, as always, shipping was extremely fast.
When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to see how compact the lock/alarm was, yet easily fit over the disc (either front or back) of my Dyna.
The alarm is not obnoxiously loud, but clearly enough to draw unwanted attention to any would be bike thief.
I am extremely pleased and would recomend it to anyone.

Put it to work on your next task
Some people think our name for this knife needs a little work. But we named this knife the Needs Work because it needs you to put it to work. The Needs Work is simply a bang-up solid work knife. The straight-edged sheepsfoot-style blade offers solid contact with the material being cut and makes nice, crisp slices in just about anything you want to cut. Since the full width of the spine comes almost to the point, the blade punches well and is good and strong. The Needs Work blade steel is Sandvik 14C28N. This stainless steel was developed in an exclusive partnership between Kershaw and Sandvik Steel. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, hardness, edge retention, and is an all-around top performer. It comes razor sharp out of the box and resharpens well. And because we know that, when you're working, you don't always have both hands free, we built SpeedSafe assisted opening into the Needs Work. Just pull back on the blade protrusion and the SpeedSafe assisted opening system takes over, moving the blade out of the handle, ready for use. A locking liner secures the blade open. Something you'll definitely notice is the handle design. It's built to hang onto; the unique texturing provides simply amazing grip. The Needs Work is a somewhat thicker knife, again making it sturdy enough to take on your next job, whether on the worksite or at home in the garage.
Technical Specifications
Flipper May be used on either manual or assisted opening knives. The "flipper" is a protrusion on the back of the blade that the user can pull back on, or flip, in order to move the blade easily out of the handle.
SpeedSafe® Assists you to open any SpeedSafe® knife quickly and easily with a manual push on the thumbstud or pull back on the flipper; built into many Kershaw best sellers.
Liner Lock Locks the blade open during use; one side of the knife's steel "liner," the steel plate to which the handle scales are attached, moves into position behind the blade to securely lock it open.
Single Position The pocketclip is in a fixed position on the knife handle; usually it is positioned for tip-down, right-handed carry, though this may vary.
Made In The USA When you see this on one of our knives, it means the knife was made in our Tualatin, Oregon manufacturing facility by skilled Kershaw knifemakers.
Additional Features • Made in the USA • SpeedSafe® assisted opening • Liner lock • Flipper • Single-position pocketclip • Steel: Sandvik 14C28N, bead-blasted finish • Handle: Glass-filled nylon • Blade length: 3 in. (7.5 cm) • Closed length: 4 1/8 in. (10.5 cm) • Overall length: 7 1/8 in. (18 cm) • Weight: 3.5 oz.
