Compliance and Legal Not Always Eye-to-Eye
By Ben Comer | Published: December 19, 2012
As the role and stature of the compliance officer grows, legacy senior management structures and hierarchies can accidentally pit lawyers against one another.

The invention of magnetic disk storage, pioneered by IBM in the 1950s, was a critical component of the computer revolution. This article describes some (but not all) of the disk drives introduced by IBM from 1956 through 1993.
The basic mechanical arrangement of hard disk drives hasn't changed since the IBM 1301. Disk drive performance and characteristics are measured by the same standards now as they were in the 1950s.
This survey concludes with a modern () PC hard drive for comparison. Few products in history have enjoyed such spectacular declines in cost and size along with corresponding improvements in capacity and performance.
The IBM 350 disk storage unit, the first disk drive, was announced by IBM as a component of the IBM 305 RAMAC computer system on September 13, 1956.[1]
Simultaneously a very similar product, the "IBM 355 Random Access Memory" was announced for the IBM 650 computer system. RAMAC stood for "Random Access Method of Accounting and Control."
Its design was motivated by the need for real time accounting in business.[2] The 350 stored 5 million 7-bit (6-bits plus 1 odd parity bit) characters (about 4.4 megabytes).[3] It had fifty diameter disks with 100 recording surfaces. Each surface had 100 tracks. The disks spun at 1200 RPM. Data transfer rate was 8,800 characters per second. An access mechanism moved a pair of heads up and down to select a disk pair (one down surface and one up surface) and in and out to select a recording track of a surface pair. Several improved models were added in the 1950s. The IBM RAMAC 305 system with 350 disk storage leased for $3,200 per month. The 350 was officially withdrawn in 1969.
The 350's cabinet was 60 inches (152 cm) long, 68 inches (172 cm) high and 29 inches (74 cm) deep. IBM had a strict rule that all its products must pass through a standard 29.5 inch (75 cm) doorway. Since the 350's platters were mounted horizontally, this rule presumably dictated the maximum diameter of the disks.
Currie Munce, research vice president for Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (which has acquired IBM's storage business), stated in a Wall Street Journal interview[4] that the RAMAC unit weighed over a ton, had to be moved around with forklifts, and was delivered via large cargo airplanes. According to Munce, the storage capacity of the drive could have been increased beyond five megabytes, but IBM's marketing department at that time was against a larger capacity drive, because they didn't know how to sell a product with more storage.
In 2002, the Magnetic Disk Heritage Center began restoration of an IBM 350 RAMAC in collaboration with Santa Clara University. In 2005, the RAMAC restoration project relocated to the Computer History Museum where efforts to restore the drive for public display continue.
The IBM 353 used on the IBM 7030, was similar to the IBM 1301, but with a faster transfer rate. It had a capacity of 2,097,152 (221) 64-bit words (two 32 data bit half words each with 7 ECC bits) and transferred 125,000 words per second.[5] Unlike the flying heads of the 1301, the 353 used the older head design of the IBM 350 RAMAC.
The IBM 355 was announced on September 14, 1956 as an addition to the popular IBM 650. It used the same mechanism as the IBM 350 and stored 6 million 7-bit decimal digits.[6] Data was transferred to and from the IBM 653 magnetic core memory, an IBM 650 option that stored just sixty 10-digit words, enough for a single sector of disk or tape data.

FDIC Data Show Stressed Community Banks
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- According to data from the FDIC and from my analysis of the FDIC Quarterly Banking Profile for the fourth quarter of 2012, I conclude that the "Great Credit Crunch" continues among community banks on Main Street, USA.
Among the 7,083 FDIC-insured financial institutions there are 1,113 publicly traded banks, most of which are categorized as community banks. Looking at FDIC data, I find that 73 of these banks are overexposed to construction and development loans (C&D), and 451 are overexposed to commercial real estate loans (CRE). In addition to these signs of continued stress, 47 have 100% of their CRE loan commitments fully funded among the 305 that have at least 80% fully funded.
Based upon this information, 460 bank stocks qualify to be on the ValuEngine List of Problem Banks.

IUP finally broke the streak. It finally gave Head Coach Lou Tepper his 100th career win. The defeated Lock Haven 63-31. Harvie Tuck and Terrell Washington stood out from the rest with Washington winning PSAC West Defensive Player of the Week with his performance. IUP seems well with IUP. The Crimson Hawks are 5-5 and will have on more week to avoid a second consecutive losing season.
Wait a minute.
Lock Haven scored how much?
Lock Haven scored 31 points?
No. They couldn't have. They did?
You mean to tell me that the Bald Eagles scored 31 points. They averaged 10 points per game into the IUP game. Oh, I know how, IUP's secondary that's how.
IUP did a lot of things right against Lock Haven. It gained 278 yards and forced LHU into four turnovers.
What it did wrong was allow a team that hasn't won a game since November of 2007, and is statistically the worst offense in the conference to score 31 points.
I must give Lock Haven credit, however. The Bald Eagles didn't even compete against IUP last season and showed marginal improvement this season. They played as hard as they could and never stopped playing until the clock read triple zeros. Lock Haven actually looked like a football this year as to usually looking like a bunch of guys who just so happen to have helmet and shoulder pads on. Lock Haven's only problem was that it was overmatched.
Usually a game that ends with a score of 63-31 it is more of indictment of how bad the losing team is, but in this case it is indictment of how much IUP has to work on. Although Lock Haven has improved, it should be good enough to score 31 points against anyone.
Even when IUP wins, it still finds way to lose. The Hawks should be happy about the win as they haven't had much to be happy about since they played Slippery Rock, but they should take a long look at themselves. Soul searching if you will because if Lock Haven scored 10 points, it would have been something of note, but it scored triple that amount.
The secondary was beat on numerous occasions where the Bald Eagles just caught them napping.
The last hope of IUP avoiding back-to-back losing season for the first time since that faithful 1982 season is next week when it hosts West Chester. I can almost promise West Chester is better than Lock Haven.
Needless to say, IUP has a lot of work to do.
All indications were that IUP to be dismantled by Cal U before its game last week. That didn't happen. As I watched the game, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. For one, Cal U's stadium is beautiful to look at. I
just couldn't believe how good it looked, but I digress. Then, IUP was actually competetive. Not only were it competetive, it was soundly beating the Vulcans in literally every facet of the game. The Crimson Hawks were beating the Vulcans on offense, defense, special teams, turnovers, penalites and even coaching.
For the first time all season, IUP was outcoaching the opposition. IUP used an offesnive touchdown, a blcoked punt for a touchdown, a sack in the end zone for a safety to make Cal U seem disinterested and confused. The Hawks were up 15-0 midway through the third and it seemed as though we had a mammoth upset on our hands. Then something happened. The Crimson Hawks simply let up.
Against Edinboro, IUP got up 15-0. Instead of trying to score one more touchdown to put the game away, IUP chose to run the clock out and hope for the best. Since the running game was running on all possible cylinders, it worked.
The only problem with that plan against Cal U is that, the Vulcans are a much better team the Fighting Scots. Just as they were capable of doing, the Vulcans cameback and won in overtime 18-15. It wasn't as if IUP tried time after time to put them away and the Cal U defense just prevented that.
The Crimson Hawks stopped playing the Vulcans and started playing against the clock. Cal U was shocked that it gave IUP a win and it seemed it didn't want it, so Cal U said that they'll gladly take it back and they did.
I've said this a million times since this game: IUP had Cal U dead to rights.
They were done.
They didn't even want to be there. The coaches at IUP, however, once again put their players in a position they couldn't.
That's not the fault of the players, that's the fault of the coaches.
The players didn't make the decision to let up, they continued to play hard.
That was the decision of the coaches.
I'm no genius, but even I knew that plan was not going to work and if you're going to lose to someone, you lose guns blazing, not at the mercy of the clock or the inevitable comeback. If IUP scored one more point touchdown or kicked one more field goal, it would have won the game. No doubt in my mind.
But the coaches and their impeccable wisdom seemed to think that a 15-point lead against one of the best teams in the nation with a quarter and a half to go is enough to win. But what do I know? .
IUP Head Coach Lou Tepper said a lot of things on the record during his press conference Tuesday. He said the basic things a coach says after losing two in a row. That wasn't the story. The story was what he said off the record, while my recorder was turned off and my pen was in my pocket that was the real story.
A fellow reporter asked Tepper about his job security and whether he was worried about it. Tepper responded by saying, "Absolutely not."
He continued to say: "I am commanded by my faith not to have any fear. I don't have any fear. If the Lord wants me here, there ain't nobody around that's getting me out, and if he doesn't want me here, it doesn't matter if I want to be here."
Tepper hinted at problems outside of football being the reason for IUP's fast fall from grace.
"There's a reason for this, not just coaching, and I'm not at liberty to say anything now," he said. "I may be in the future, but this didn't happen overnight to have the situation that we're in."
What Tepper meant by him being able to say something in the future remains to be seen.
None of what Tepper said after this press conference can be confirmed by anyone but three people and I'm one of them.
If Tepper thought things were bad Tuesday, I could only imagine how he felt after IUP's beat down at the hands of Gannon Saturday, 45-17. IUP committed five turnovers, four of which came from the arm of quarterback Bo Napoleon.
IUP's loss to Gannon was its third in a row and could very easily turn into four in a row by this time next week when the Crimson Hawks travel to PSAC West juggernaut Cal U (7-1, 4-1) who is coming off of a surprising loss to Mercyhurst Saturday, 31-21. The Vulcans will more than likely look to take out its frustrations of the loss on the fledgling Crimson Hawks.
It may not have started overnight, but IUP football is in a free-fall with no bottom in sight.
Tepper did bring up a lot of valid points as to why it has occurred, but in my opinion, he is not out of the clear.
The people that Tepper was able to recruit have not panned out for one reason or another. He has made questionable in-game decisions time after time. The way he has handled the maturation, or lack their of, has proved tumultuous thus far and could get worse. I failed to mention IUP's last game of the season at home against currently undefeated Kutztown.
Tepper has made his fair share of mistakes, but he really hasn't had the help from the administration that he has needed to make this team into a contender. To steal a saying from Bill Parcells, he has not been allowed to shop for the groceries to cook a good meal with.
Tepper's questionable decisions coupled with what he said off the record have created the perfect storm for IUP's football program to implode right before our very eyes.
It has not been pretty to watch and it will not get any prettier.
IUP's 21-14 loss to Clarion Saturday was its second consecutive defeat at home. The next two games for the Crimson Hawks is not going to get any easier for them.
The Hawks will travel to both Gannon and juggernaut Cal U. IUP's two-game skid could very easily turn into a four-game nightmare.
IUP isn't doing itself any favors by not handing some of the reigns over to quarterback Bo Napoleon.
Napoleon had another modest game. He completed 16 of 29 passes for 169 yards and threw two touchdowns, but the coaching clearly want the running game to win the game for the Hawks. The only problem is, everyone else knows it, too.
It's nothing wrong with using the running game to set up the pass and when you have a bruising back like Harvie Tuck, that is an ideal strategy. But the point is to do until the defese starts focusing on the run, stack nine or 10 men in the box, and beat the defense with the passing game.
Watching the game against Clarion, however, the IUP coaches forgot about the passing part.
By the time the coaches put the game into Napoleon's hands, it was too little, too late.
The Hawks were down two scores with little time left in the game
IUP was forced to switch to a no-huddle attack, which surprisingly worked. Maybe the coaching staff should take not of this.
When Napoleon is given a chance to make consecutive throws and get into a rhythm, he seems to have some success. I'm not saying that he should be throwing the ball 40 or 50 times, but the coaching staff can not continue to play scared with the passing game. It worked against a bad defense against Edinboro, but teams will eventually figure out that Tuck is the go-to guy and shut him down.
Case in point was when had to convert a fourth-and-literally inches. With Tuck and Darryl Herod in the backfield, this should have been a given, but Tuck was stopped short. One word: inexcusable.
If not, expect more of the same from IUP, losing.
By the way, the IUP defense really let the team down against Clarion in the fourth quarter. The unit had a very good outing for three quarters with the standout performer being Mike Gee with six tackles and two sacks of Indiana native Ben Fiscus.
But when IUP needed stops the most, it folded like a bad poker hand.
Three plays after the Clarion defense stuffed Tuck on fourth down, the IUP defense parted like the Red Sea and let Alfonso Hoggard run 69 yards for the final nail in IUP's coffin.
After this stretch of games, IUP's season could very easily be buried right along with it.
IUP lost on its Homecoming for the second consecutive season.
Losing on your own Homecoming is embarassing enough for IUP, but its the way the Crimson Hawks lost to PSAC West foe Mercyhurst is what I am focusing on in this edition of Hawks Vision.
IUP (4-2, 2-1 in PSAC West) lost to a good team in Mercyhurst (4-2, 2-1 in PSAC West), but the Crimson Hawks had the Lakers dead to rights on a few occasions.
IUP built on an early 10-0 lead on the strength of a 70-yard touchdown on the first play from scrimmage from Bo Napoleon to Mychal Skinner.
IUP's defense completely dominated the line of scrimmage and shut down Mercyhurst's running game that was the PSAC's second-best going into the game. Mercyhurst, realizing that its running game was not going to get it done against the Hawks made adjustments.
Yes I said adjustments. As simple as it seems for the Lakers to make adjustments, it seemed very difficult for IUP to do the same.
Mercyhurst simply went from using its running game as the main option to using it simply to keep IUP's defense honest. Its substitute for the running game was a short passing game.
Mercyhurst took advantage of IUP's lack of physicality in the secondary on Mercyhurst's receivers.
The Lakers simply had its receivers stop at the first down markers, turn around and make the reception. They used this strategy to gain 344 yards through the air.
How did this happen? IUP didn't make adjustments.
IUP had a 27-21 lead late in the fourth quarter and gave the ball back to the Lakers with 1:46 left in the fourth quarter - plenty of time for Mercyhurt's offense to use its short passing game to take back the lead.
By this time, everyone in the stadium knew what the Lakers were going to do and that was dink and dunk their way down the field. I believe the IUP coaching staff knew this as well, but no one could tell as the staff used the same strategy it had used the entire game and that was wait for Mercyhurst to make a mistake. Mercyhurst never made that mistake and won scored a touchdown on yet another short pass.
If IUP had lost because Mercyhurst was the better team, its not much I could harp on. But that is not the case. IUP lost because it didn't make any adjustments at any point of the game on defense. That's not the fault of the players. They're just doing what they are told.
That is the fault of the coaches. That is what they are there for. Coaches use halftime and what they have seen during the game and make the necessary adjustments, Lou Tepper and his staff seemingly failed to do so.
For IUP's sake, adjustments need to be made and fast. One more loss for the Crimson Hawks could end all hope of a possible NCAA tournament berth.
Two weeks ago, Indiana University of Pennsylvania quarterback Bo Napoleon played a terrible game. He threw five interceptions, tried to do too much and contributed to IUP being beaten to a pulp 47-20 at the hands of Bloomburg.
Going into the game against Slippery Rock this week, I didn't expect for the IUP coaches to put the ball in Napoleon's hands much. I picked IUP to win on IUP-TV, but I picked them to win by just plain luck. That was my analysis. IUP will win by luck.
After the game Saturday, I was proven right. The IUP coaches did not put the game in Napoleon's hands. He only threw the ball 15 times and amassed a mere 79 yards. Very modest numbers to say the least. As a matter of fact, they shuttered to the thought that Napoleon would have to use his arm to beat Slippery Rock. So much so that IUP Head Coach Lou Tepper even admitted it after the game. Something else I didnt expect after the game was the fact the IUP won - and won by more than luck.
IUP put the game into its defense's hands and handled The Rock 17-0.
Now a 17-0 win isnt the most impressive thing in the world, but the fact that it was done by essentially not trusting your starting quarteback makes it kind of impressive.
According to Tepper, when IUP went up 10-0 in the fourth quarter after a Craig Burgess field goal, the already conservative gameplan became even more conservative. Almost to the point the Crimson Hawks looked like uber Republicans.
"We just didn't want to screw up on offense," Tepper said. "We couldn't afford a turnover. We didn't want to put our game in a position to hurt us."
Although I was somewhat impressed with how IUP won. I still find something wrong with the way the team won.
Let's be honest, Slippery Rock's undefeated record was a little misleading. It was not indicative how that team really is. The Rock is not that good.
IUP will play much tougher opponents the rest of the way, including Edinboro this week on the road no less. Not to mention California University of Pennsylvania also on the road.
How can this team expect to continue to win against stiffer competition if they openly do not have confidence in its starting quarterback?
Napoleon is young and can use all the confidence instilled in him as possible especially after the way he played against Bloomsburg, but why would the head coach openly say to the media that he and the rest of the staff didn't want Napoleon to hurt them by doing what he is supposed to do - throwing the football.
Not having confidence behind closed doors is one thing. Not having confidence in him during the game with the play selection is another thing. But to tell the media that you didn't want your quarterback to blow a two-possession lead is very counter productive. in my humble opinion.
I understand that injuries are the only reason why Napoleon is playing, but thats even more reason to instill confidence in him. Becasue after him, IUP has an even less experienced quarterback in Jared Buck who the team didn't even want to take snap this season.
IUP can beat teams like Slippery Rock without trusting its quarterback, but when it goes to Cal U and Edinboro, it will require that IUP put some faith in Napoleon or IUP will suffer the same mediocre season it had a year ago.
In the event that mediocre season happens, the winds of change will be upon us.
My name is Vaughn Johnson. I am going to give readers an inside look at IUP sports. I spent two years as sports editor of IUP's student newspaper, The Penn, and established a number relationships and sources within the athletic department. I am currently the editor in chief of The Penn.
My promotion to editor in chief gave me so many responsibilities that I gave up all of my beats. But the more I tried to step back from reporting on athletics, like the drug that it is, it kept calling me back. I'm not ashamed to say that I am addicted. Since all of my beats have gone to people who could use the much-needed experience, I don't have much to report on until I decided to start a blog about the one thing I'm addicted to - covering sports.
My mission now with this blog is not just report the news and happenings, but to also give you my humble opinion on such subjects. I will not pull any punches. I am here for the readers and the readers only. The point of this blog is to let the fans of IUP athletics know what is really going on with their beloved Crimson Hawks no matter the sport.
I can give glowing praise or I can be the biggest cynic in the world, but I will only give that when it is warranted, when it is deserved. I will not speak out of hyperbole nor will I understate.
My mission is to not only give information, but to educate people on college sports, which is a completely different world unto itself. Ladies and gentleman, prepare yourself for the best seat in the house - Hawk Vision

I must object to Burton K. James statement in his article in which he refers to Cupids as being originally Cuper's Cove. That statement is published as though it is an historical fact which it is not. Cupids is not the location of Cuper's Cove. Neither John Guy, Percival Willoughby nor Henry Crout ever mentioned a place called Cupids in their letters and journals. I challenge Burton K. Janes to produce any evidence which he has to support his statement that Cupids was originally Cuper's Cove. If he cannot support his claim then he should refrain from publishing it as a fact. Why is this important you may ask? Assigning historical significance to Cupids which is not supported by historical documentation amounts to a blatant distortion of Newfoundland history. I am astonished that for over one hundred years nobody has ever challenged the claims regarding Cupids as being the location of Cuper's Cove. There is ample historical evidence which clearly shows that Cupids is not the site of Cuper's Cove. It appears that Academics and Journalists in Newfoundland simply refuse to publish the facts about Cuper's Cove. I have seen historical documents regarding Cuperre's Cove published which had major portions of important historical fact simply left out or intentionally distorted. Why were these documents not published in their entirety? Why were the documents edited to slant what readers were exposed to? Incidentally, the name Cuper's Cove was promoted to anglicize the name and obscure the fact that the actual place was named Cuperre's Cove which was FRENCH in origin. It appears that it would be embarrassing to the Government to promote the BIRTHPLACE OF ENGLISH CANADA as having occurred in a place with a FRENCH name! The involvement of Cupids as the so called site of Cuper's Cove was first promoted by Judge Prowse in his 19th century book called A History of Newfoundland. Prowse got it wrong, he provided no evidence to prove that Cupids was Cuperre's Cove, ignored historical documents which showed that Cupids was not the site of Cuperre's Cove and merely promoted a claim that Cupids was the site which has no basis in historical fact. If Burton K. Janes has any evidence to prove that Cupids is Cuper's Cove he should publish it or refrain from publishing incorrect historical information. The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador promoted Cupids as Cuper's Cove and did so without any evidence to support that claim.

When Sturm, Ruger announced the stainless steel Single-Nine in September, I had to get my hands on one immediately, and that's just about how this handgun review happened.
Within several days, this .22 Magnum single-action "nine-gun" was getting acquainted with my gun-hand palm. It is an idea I wish Ruger had come up with back when I was a much younger fellow, hunting raccoons with a guy who became my mentor. It's a revolver I could have used on any number of occasions when I bumped into a bunny at dusk along some abandoned logging spur or out in the woods and tangles along the Snoqualmie River's Middle Fork Valley.
The .22 Magnum is a flat-shooting, hard hitting little rimfire and out of the Single-Nine, this cartridge realizes its potential thanks to the 6 ½-inch barrel topped by a Williams fiber optic front sight, and the Williams click-adjustable rear fiber optic sight. Being a fan of tritium night sights, I can say without fear of rebuttal that fiber optic sights are the next best thing in subdued forest light, and Williams did it right with green tubes.
What caught my immediate attention was that this revolver tucked rather well into an old George Lawrence holster I had built several years ago to accommodate a Ruger Blackhawk with a 6 ½-inch barrel. Packing this "hogleg" in the woods became no problem at all.
It is widely known I'm a sucker for Ruger single-action revolvers. I own, uh, several in .45 Colt, .41 Magnum and .32 H&R Magnum. The only credible reason I don't own a Single Six is because I own a vintage Ruger Standard semi-auto that was designed with the nine-round magazine, and is a remarkably accurate pistol.
If I want to clobber a rabbit or grouse with a rimfire, I'm set, and for those longer shots, well, there's that Ruger 10/22 semi-auto rifle topped by a 4X Bushnell scope that frequently rides in my pickup truck.
Ruger calls the laminated hardwood grip panels "gunfighter" grips, but I don't know a gunslinger who would risk such a pretty pair of panels in a shootout where the handgun might be dropped. Suffice to say I was favorably impressed with the smooth feel and comfort, which I think contributes to the long-appreciated Ruger frame's accuracy. A gun that fits the hand well enhances a person's ability to comfortably aim and squeeze the trigger, and Ruger's Single-Nine is no exception to the rule.
However, I confess to not really caring for thin grips on a single-action because they just don't fit my hand as well as traditional wider grip panels.

Momento WatchPrice: $325.00
The Momento features a smooth, satin finish stainless steel case, genuine leather strap and 10 ATM water resistance.
"Momento" by Aldo Rossi was the first watch in the history of Alessi, and a new version is now being introduced. The watch is composed of a simple double steel case: an inner case enclosing the movement and dial, mounted in an outer case. The inner one can be removed and reinserted easily, making it possible to use it for both the wristwatch and pocket-watch. Warranty and instruction book included.
This is a special order item. Non-returnable.
Material(s): Stainless steel and leather
Dimensions: 1.25" Dia
Designer: Aldo Rossi
Born in Milan (1931-1997), he is considered by many to be the greatest Italian architect of the second half of the 20th century. His life as an architect started with Gardella and Zanuso. An author of abstraction, reduction and brevitas, his severe language of primary shapes, geometrical patterns and silent evocation created some of the most intensely poetic works of architecture and design in his age.View other products by Aldo Rossi
Manufacturer: Alessi
Alessi. Art and Poetry.
Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalog is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world.
"A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential." — Alberto AlessiView other products from Alessi

Calm weather Monday will give way to a stormy Tuesday, when a mix of snow, sleet and rain is expected.
Monday's forecast calls for partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-30s , even inching close to 40, National Weather Service meteorologist Gino Izzi said Sunday.
After midnight Monday, temperatures will fall and winds will increase to 10 to 15 mph, with gusts up to 35 mph early Tuesday.
Temperatures will be in the low 30s on Tuesday, and there's a 90 percent chance of precipitation. Snow and sleet will arrive in the morning, changing to snow by the afternoon, Izzi said.
Potential snowfall could range from no accumulation to more than six inches, he said.
Wind gusts will range from 30 to 40 mph, Izzi said.

I've searched…and I've searched…and although legislation was passed by Congress in 2010 to make June 27th the official "National PTSD Day", I have yet to find anyone (outside of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs) doing ANYTHING to promote awareness in 2011 outside of a few privileged group discussions on Facebook.
So, just to make my "Please help a Veteran's day", I would love to hear from someone who is doing something in the great USA to raise awareness about PTSD sometime in the month of June.
Preferably someone who is not on the government's payroll.
If you have an event planned, a video made, or an article published, or any useful tidbit SCREAMING TO GET OUT please leave me a COMMENT! (like Veterans Today's 2010 Article), I will post it!!!!

Profanity on TV Linked to Foul-Mouthed Kids
But study doesn't confirm 4-letter words in media cause kids to cuss
By Randy Dotinga
HealthDay Reporter
MONDAY, Oct. 17 (HealthDay News) -- Is TV turning our kids into fountains of four-letter words? Maybe so, says a new study that finds a link between foul-mouthed inner-city children and profanity-ridden shows and video games.
However, the research doesn't confirm that exposure to trash-talking adults directly leads to swearing among kids, nor does it explain why non-aggressive cussing might be a bad thing. And the actual size of the possible effect is unknown, although the study's lead author called it "moderate."
"As a society we've gotten pretty lax concerning profanity. We're desensitized to it," said the author, Sarah M. Coyne, an assistant professor at Brigham Young University. "This study shows that it does matter. It matters where they hear it, and parents should maybe be a little more vigilant about profanity exposure in the media."
Several studies have shown that the use of profanity has grown over time, Coyne said. Its use, she said, matters. "It can be offensive, and a lot of people will use it to hurt people. If a peer uses it toward you, there's a physiological reaction that occurs. If you look at it in those terms, it is problematic."
Coyne said she was inspired to launch the study by research that has suggested kids who watch violent TV and movies are more likely to be aggressive. It's a difficult thing to prove definitively, since it could be that kids who are more aggressive in the first place are naturally drawn to violent programs. The most reliable way to do such research would be to randomly assign some kids to watch violent programming and others to not, but that would raise ethical qualms if it were to be done over a long term.
For the study, investigators surveyed 223 adolescents (87 boys and 135 girls) in an inner-city middle school in the Midwest. Their average age was about 12.5 years. Among other things, the researchers asked them about their favorite TV shows and video games, and how often they use curse words.
Those who watched TV shows and played video games with more profanity were more likely to use such language, the researchers found. But the study's design didn't allow researchers to definitively say whether the exposure directly caused the kids to cuss more. Nor could they specify how much of a difference the exposure may have made in terms of the greater odds that a kid would use profanity.
It's also not clear whether boys or girls were more likely to use foul language, and the study didn't examine when the kids used profanity.
Commenting on the findings, Douglas A. Gentile, an associate professor of psychology at Iowa State University, said the study fills a hole in existing research about children.
It also shows the power of television, he said. "You learn from whatever you look at. Whatever you see you'll learn something about it, even if you don't know it."
That works for educational programming, he said, and for other types of viewing, too, such as shows with profanity. "Part of what you learn is what's appropriate," Gentile added.
The study is published in the November issue of the journal Pediatrics.

I was raised in Roanoke, a small town in the southeast piedmont of Alabama. Several generations of my family have called the east Alabama and west Georgia region home, first in the bondage of slavery and now as proud and active members of the community. Singing "Old Negro Spirituals" in the family church every Sunday gave me an appreciation for the tenacity of the human spirit, while interacting with members of the community at civic events and Friday night football games taught me the importance of human connection. Growing up in such a close-knit community, I developed a strong sense of place. Yet, despite my love for my hometown, I knew I would have to leave because there were no opportunities for me in a town struggling to redefine itself in a post-industrial economy.
Roanoke, like so many towns in rural America, is facing economic hardship. Businesses have been forced to close their doors and countless textile jobs have been eliminated and relocated overseas. Social ills like teenage pregnancy, drug use, and adult illiteracy are endemic. Rural America is facing challenges like never before. Unlike in the past when farm and mill jobs would return after economic slowdown, the present day rural economy, attendant with mechanized and industrial food production and outsourcing of low skill jobs, is not likely to rebound. This, in turn, leads to a rural brain drain and loss of human capital leaving the poorest and most vulnerable behind.
Entering college, I knew I wanted to prepare myself to influence positively the lives of others living in rural towns like Roanoke, so I decided on a career in public interest law, majoring in History and minoring in both Political Science and Community and Civic Engagement. In retrospect, I realize that I neither fully understood the magnitude of the rural crisis nor believed that there was a way I could personally work towards fixing the problem. Quite frankly, I did not know my college experiences had the capability to help me find the link between my past and future while still allowing me the opportunity to impact the world in a meaningful way.
Through my involvement with the College of Liberal Arts' Community and Civic Engagement Initiative, I started working in the black belt town of Notasulga, Alabama. The beautiful, lush landscape of the town stands in stark contrast to the dire social and economic conditions its citizens face. In Notasulga, I was able to connect my experiences in the classroom with the experiences I was having beyond the campus gates. I became involved with a program called the Macon County Youth Initiative and have worked to assist teenagers in developing college readiness and general life skills.
The schools in Macon County, where Notasulga is located, do not adequately prepare students to compete with their peers across the state, and the students are well aware of these deficiencies. They feel forgotten, and truthfully, they are. Through the program, we enable the students to seek success in their lives while connecting them to resources that can help them achieve their dreams. One of my students, Alexis, expressed interest in a career in journalism, but with no school newspaper or journalism class, she had no way of exploring the possibility. Fortunately, one of my professors coordinates a high school journalism workshop every summer, and I was able to get Alexis enrolled with a scholarship. Now, as a senior, she is more excited than ever to be a journalist. It is not the fact that I used my resources to help her that meant the most to Alexis; instead, it was the fact that I invested in her future. Empowering others to believe that change is possible, I learned, is a huge part of creating that change, first on the personal level and then on the community level.
I carried those ideals with me as a Living Democracy Fellow in Hobson City, Alabama (Alabama's first incorporated all-Black town) while working on issues of community needs and historic preservation. Living and working there, I experienced the difficulties related to enacting real, lasting change in a downtrodden community. Walking door to door in the hot Alabama sun conducting needs assessments gave me the opportunity to get to know the citizens better, and I was able to understand the attitude of hopelessness that permeated the town. The town has been in a state of economic decline since the 1980s, and a large amount of the population lives in poverty. The citizens of the town do not understand why conditions cannot improve. Just like the students in Macon County, the people of Hobson City are left behind.
From working in Macon County and Hobson City, I feel a connection to the figures I have studied in my Civil Rights Movement class. Instead of working at a freedom school, educating community members about citizenship, I teach college and life skills to teenagers. Rather than travelling the dusty roads of the Mississippi Delta in search of individuals willing to register to vote, I walked the streets of Hobson City interviewing citizens about their community. Instead of the 1960s, it is 2012, but like those organizers of another era, I too am fighting to give a marginalized group the right to better social and economic opportunities.
My experiences in Roanoke, Notasulga, and Hobson City have convinced me that there is much work to be done in rural America. The one sixth of American citizens who live there have been forgotten and left to fend for themselves. Most rural policy is still tied to agriculture and ignores other pressing issues. I believe that rural America deserves better, and I plan to use my graduate and legal education to advocate for and develop better rural policies.

Bad Start Leads to Loss at Saint John's
COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. - The MLC men's basketball team got off to a disastrous start an never recovered in a 78-42 loss at Saint John's (MN) Monday night.
The Johnnies jumped out to a 25-0 lead to start the game, holding MLC scoreless until a Justin Eternick jump shot got the Knights on the board with 11:42 to play in the first half.
SJU would cruise from there, frustrating the MLC offense by holding it to .306 shooting from the field and forcing 21 turnovers on the night.
Saint John's was also good on the offensive end, shooting .446 percent from the floor in the game and turning the ball over just five times against 24 assists.
Justin Danell was the lone MLC player in double figures with 12 points, while Galen Holzhueter had a team-high nine rebounds.
With the loss, MLC dropped to 0-8 on the season, while the Johnnies improved to 4-3.
MLC will return to action on Friday, December 16, when it hosts Wartburg for a game scheduled to start at 7 p.m.

In this June 5, 2004 photo, singer-songwriter J.J. Cale plays during the Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas, Texas. Cale, whose best-known songs became hits for Eric Clapton with "After Midnight" and Lynyrd Skynyrd with "Call Me the Breeze," has died. He was 74. Cale's manager Mike Kappus said the architect of the Tulsa Sound died Friday, July 26, 2013 of a heart attack at Scripps Hospital in La Jolla, Calif. (AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez, File) If musicians were measured not by the number of records they sold but by the number of peers they influenced, JJ Cale would have been a towering figure in 1970s rock 'n' roll. His best songs like "After Midnight," "Cocaine" and "Call Me the Breeze" were towering hits — for other artists. Eric Clapton took "After Midnight" and "Cocaine" and turned them into the kind of hard-party anthems that defined rock for a long period of time. And Lynyrd Skynyrd took the easy-shuffling "Breeze" and supercharged it with a three-guitar attack that made it a hit.
"Inspiration Information/Wings Of Love" by Bob Davis Funk/Soul/Blues/Jazz/Pop/Electronica/Peace & Love (soul-patrol.com)–This is a great album. I have been waiting for this album to appear since the mid 1970's. It's the best album I have heard so far in 2013. The original "Inspiration Information" has actually been a key influencing factor in my thought processes and behavior since I first listened to it in 1974, via WAMO in Pittsburgh. Since that time I have probably listened to it more than any other single album I have ever owned, with the possible exception of Miles Davis "On The Corner."

Eminem Has 2010's Biggest Sales Debut
Sales for Emimem's Recovery exceeded even the high projections for the record. The rapper's CD sold 741,000 copies in its first week of release, making it the best album debut since October 2008 (when AC/DC's Black Ice sold 784,000 copies). It would seem Eminem's fans were encouraged by his promise to stay away from the accents this time. [AP]

MAC Viva Glam Lipstick Reviews
A little pricey, but worth it.Good color that lasts and does not clump after a while. Good pigmentation. Highly recommend. — 3 years, 9 months agoCaroleVonAllten | 1401 reviews
Love the colors, love the cause.All MAC lipsticks are fabulous, but the Viva Glam lipsticks are especially awesome becauseEVERY cent from the purchase of Viva Glam products goes to the MAC Aids Foundation. That's impressive. And the Viva Glam colors tend to be flattering for almost all skintones. The finishes vary, but all of them look great on your lips, apply evenly and have the signature MAC vanilla scent. They wear off fairl...read morey evenly as well, so no need to worry about the dreaded lipstick ring around your lips. However, they are a bit drying. The price is reasonable, at $14.50 a piece. I like that they have special red metal tubing to differentiate them from the regular MAC line, and the signatures on the tube are also a nice touch. I have Viva Glam VI, Viva Glam Gaga 1, and Viva Glam Cyndi. I'm sad Cyndi was discontinued, because it's the most amazing shade of red. It's moderately pigmented, and can be sheered or blotted to be a hint of red, or it can be layered on for a more intense red. It's a great "beginner's red." However, they come out with new Viva Glam products every year, and I'm sure I'll fall in love with another lipstick. — 3 years agoLipglossandSpandex | 521 reviews

Worth it!I have this lipstick in Viva Glam IV and I adore it. It has a light vanilla scent that is so much better than the perfume-y, makeup-y smell a lot of lipsticks have. The shade I have is a bit too dark and shimmery for me to wear for day, but I love it for cocktail parties and during the holidays. It's richly pigmented, goes on smoothly, and lasts and lasts without clumping or feathering. It's a ver...read morey flattering shade and I would buy another MAC lipstick in a heartbeat based on this purchase. — 1 year, 7 months agotallredamanda | 324 reviews
viva la lipstickMy sister and I both bought this lipstick as it looked great on both of us. We bought viva glam VI. It has a hint of shimmer to it which the lipstick states is the lustre formula. I think this would look good on any number of people with different skin tones. I have very fair skin and it looks great on me. I have bough it twice now. It lasts a few hours about the same as any other lippy. I d...read moreno't liked a lot of scent in my lipsticks, but this one doesn't bother me. It smells a little bit sweet to me. It would be nice with no scent at all, but what are you going to do. — 2 years, 9 months agobeautybody | 128 reviews
Viva Glam LipstickThe III and the wearable red, Viva Glam I, are soft and creamy and not terribly expensive, considering they are department store cosmetics. They have the MAC vanilla taste and wear quite well for quite a long time. — 3 years, 10 months agoleo1999 | 654 reviews

High-maintenance but gorgeous and glamI went to MAC determined to walk away with a red lipstick that would actually look good on me. I have very fair, freckled skin and red hair. Every red I've ever tried has looked ugly and orange-y. The first lipstick the salesperson suggested was VGI, and it looked great on me. It's a true red and it really lights up my blue eyes. I like the texture, but I need to exfoliate and moisturize my lips a...read morend apply lip liner before I use this product, otherwise it feathers, dries out my lips, and quickly fades.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Creation of a Direct Financia
The information required by this item with respect to the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) is incorporated herein by reference to Item 2.03.
On December 20, 2013, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. ("Gallagher") and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Subsidiary Obligors") entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with certain accredited institutional investors (collectively, the "Purchasers") for a private placement of $600 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes. The Purchase Agreement provides for three series of senior notes: $325 million aggregate principal amount of 4.58% Senior Notes, Series H, due in 2024; $175 million aggregate principal amount of 4.73% Senior Notes, Series I, due in 2026; and $100 million aggregate principal amount of 4.98% Senior Notes, Series J, due in 2029 (collectively, the "Notes"). The issuance and sale of the Notes is expected to fund and close on February 27, 2014, subject to certain customary conditions.
Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 27 and August 27 of each year, beginning on August 27, 2014. The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Gallagher and the Subsidiary Obligors and rank equal in right of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of Gallagher and the Subsidiary Obligors.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary provisions for transactions of this type, including representations and warranties regarding Gallagher and its subsidiaries and various covenants, including covenants that require Gallagher to maintain specified financial ratios. The Purchase Agreement provides for customary events of default, generally with corresponding grace periods, including, without limitation, payment defaults with respect to the Notes, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other agreements evidencing indebtedness of Gallagher or its subsidiaries, certain judgments against Gallagher or its subsidiaries and events of bankruptcy involving Gallagher or its material subsidiaries.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at 100% of the principal amount being redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest and a "make-whole amount" (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) with respect to each Note. If within 90 days after a "change in control" Gallagher (or its successor) does not have an "investment grade rating", Gallagher is obligated to offer to prepay all of the outstanding Notes at the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest (but without any "make-whole amount" or other premium) (as each term is defined in the Purchase Agreement).
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement and form of the Notes, filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively.
4.1 Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2013, between Gallagher and the Purchasers.
4.2 Form of Notes (included as Exhibits 1(a), 1(b) and 1(c) to Exhibit 4.1 of this Form 8-K).
