I'll be receiving my massarandtuba soon and will store it in the garage to acclimate it for a few weeks. I will place wood spacers between the boards to allow air movement. I assume I can stack it fairly high since it is so hard but how far apart should the spacers be placed? These are 16' 1X6 planks. Would 3' be about right? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not sure how many boards you have, but if it is quite a bit, I'd put them closer together, especially on the lower layers, just to be safe and have a stable base. Massaranduba is very heavy so just go on sight, if you see the bottom layers have too much weight on them, just unstack and either reinforce or build another stack. Mass. 1x6 is rated for 24" span so 3 feet may be ok, just make sure you line up your sticks vertically. Double up your spacer boards on the bottom layer to give it a sound base. Leave your garage door open when possible. If you have a chance to lay them over your frame for a few days before you install the facing, that wouldn't hurt either. |

Time Is On Our Side
The useful life span of an average automotive battery is four to seven years. With the auto companies' eternal quest to make cars and trucks more efficient, two things have conspired to shorten this life span: smaller batteries and higher underhood temperatures. Higher temperatures are so damaging that many cars have insulating blankets for the battery, or the battery is mounted in the trunk.
A single instance of deep-discharging a battery can reduce its life span by half, so avoid running a battery into deep discharge. If you do, then charge it properly as soon as possible before the plates inside build up a layer of sulfates. A properly charged battery won't freeze, but a discharged battery will freeze at temperatures well above zero. Any battery that's been frozen is finished.
How Can You Tell?
Is one cell of the battery visibly different than the others? Look through the side of a translucent-cased battery. If one cell has substantially less electrolyte than the rest, or if one cell's lead plates are much lighter in color, then that cell has gone bad and the battery is junk. Charge the battery for an appropriate time (depending on how powerful your battery charger is) and then use a hydrometer to measure the specific gravity of the electrolyte. The more charge on the battery, the more sulfuric acid there is in the electrolyte and the higher the hydrometer float will be on the scale. A battery that shows a low state of charge on the hydrometer after a long charge is dead. Don't rush to judgment, however, because a deeply discharged battery will take a charge very slowly at first.
Is there some parasitic drain in your vehicle that's discharging your battery? The simplest way to check is to temporarily install a battery cutoff switch in the ground side. With everything in the car shut off, put an ammeter across the switch, turn the switch off and measure the current drain. A few milliamperes (ma) is normal to keep the engine computer, radio presets and clock alive. Anything more than 200 ma will run your battery down in a few days.
This battery hydrometer shows a fully discharged cell.

Actually bought 2 pair.They completely cover my prescription glasses, are ventaleted and complete, unobstructed vision. I heartily recommend these safety lenses to eyeglass wearers like me. In addition to the features stated above, The Bangerz Safety Glasses are very affordable. Tom Jordan Bangerz Over-The-Glasses Clear Lens Eyeguard with Pouchjpeg398October 3, 2012I love it! I wasn't able to get contacts for field hockey, so I decided to give these a try. So worth it! They do what they are supposed to, and it feels like I'm not even wearing anything on my face. It's great! Bangerz Over-The-Glasses Clear Lens Eyeguard with PouchKimberlyJune 6, 2012My daughter plays high school AAU basketball and really needed to be able to wear her glasses on the court. We were not ready to invest in prescription sports glasses, so we gave these a try. They have done what they are supposed to do and are comfortable (padding under eye area). Keep in mind that because they fit over glasses, they are a bit bulky and "unfashionable", but on the court, it doesn't matter :) The protective glasses don't fog up, but sometimes her real glasses do, possibly because she is hot and sweaty.The glasses pretty much stay in place, they are a great fit. Do expect to readjust after rough plays because they will shift from being bumped, but her glasses and eyes have continued to be well protected. Bangerz Over-The-Glasses Clear Lens Eyeguard with PouchP SmithNovember 10, 2011My eye glasses are 6 1/8 " and I had problems finding over the glasses protection. These were perfect. They are completely adjustable for comfort and do not steam up because of great ventilation. I'm extreamly pleased with these. I will order a spare pair because, i"m old and misplace stuff. When i mow or work outside, I've got to have my eye protection. I'm down right spoiled now.

He heard the roar. After losing his last match he found himself hurrying toward the seventeenth green at The Country Club in Brookline, jostling through throngs of enemy fans. That's when Sergio Garcia heard a huge, joyful noise and knew his team had lost the 1999 Ryder Cup. "The Americans were jumping around," he says. "I was sure it was over." But it wasn't. To his amazement, U.S. players and their wives had danced and jumped on the green while Garcia's countryman Jose Maria Olazabal waited to putt. Olazabal could still tie Justin Leonard, who had just jarred a forty-five-foot putt, but now the green was being trampled and Ollie was clearly distracted. "That moment, it was difficult to watch," Garcia says, looking annoyed. Then his smile reappears. It is never gone for long. He shrugs—a shrug that says whatever is Spanish for "whatever"—and reshapes the memory with positive spin: "The Americans apologized, as they should, and I accept it. And now we try again to beat them!"
Garcia, 22, might be the most appealing professional golfer of all. He might be the most talented (except for Tiger Woods) and could soon be the richest (ditto), perhaps even the one with the most gorgeous girlfriend (no comment). And now we are getting to the heart of the matter, for like every other player he must always be compared to Woods. Unlike most of the rest, however, Garcia invites the comparison. He welcomes the challenge. "I want to beat Tiger," he says. He is smiling, but not joking.
Can Garcia and the European Ryder Cup team upset an American squad led by Woods and Phil Mickelson at The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield, England?Oddsmakers are calling the U.S. a 2-1 favorite. One Cup veteran told T&L Golf he will be "shocked if Europe wins." But Garcia thinks that's total toro. "It's gonna be tight," he says. "That's the beauty of the Ryder Cup—it's always tight. The U.S. guys might think they will win easily, but we know we need every point, so we fight for every point. We try so hard!"
At Brookline, where he was the youngest player in the event's seventy-two-year history, he won three points before losing a pivotal singles match to Jim Furyk on the final day, the Euros' Black Sunday. After Olazabal's missed putt sealed America's victory, Garcia wept in the locker room. This month, as Cup play returns to European turf, he will be called on to play a central role. For a decade Colin Montgomerie has been the European side's de facto leader, but now Garcia—still four years younger than anyone else on either team—is Europe's best player by far. Whether that qualifies him to lead Montgomerie, Darren Clarke and nine other older pros into battle is a matter of opinion.
"If he's their leader, our side will be better off," says Scott Hoch of the U.S. team. "Guys like Montgomerie and Clarke have a lot more experience."
But Bernhard Langer, who has more Cup experience than any other active Ryder Cupper, is in Garcia's corner. "I sure hope Sergio emerges as leader of our team," says Langer, who has won eighteen points for Europe since 1981. "He is already a great player, and his game gets stronger all the time."

I was brought up not eating red meat (pork included). And always found it frustrating when dining out how much meat they sneak into a lot of food. So I am always looking for ways to substitute pork or beef without losing the taste of the dish. Not to mention it's better for you! :)
So all of my recipes will include chicken, turkey, or seafood as meat staples.
I love ethnic foods. I like combinations of different flavors, spices, and textures. In no particular order I like; Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Indo-Pakistani, Middle Eastern, Greek, Moroccan, Ethiopian, Eritrean, Mexican, and of course good old southern cooking ... anything with lots of flavor!

Besides playing host to one of the hardest single-day endurance events in the world, this fine southern city is also known for "the fastest two minutes in sports." You guessed it—the Kentucky Derby. Whether you and your support crew identify more as triathletes or derby die-hards, this southern charmer of a town has something for everyone.
Main Attractions
Pay a visit to Churchill Downs and its famous steeples. On non-Derby days it's not all that exciting, but it's still a bucket-list item. Next to the bourbon and Kentucky Fried Chicken, this is probably what Louisville is most famous for.
Waterfront Park – The Great Lawn
Louisville Metro has 122 city parks, several of which were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, who also designed New York City's Central Park. Waterfront Park is a 85-acre park that connects the city to the Ohio River, and features a 2.6-mile paved loop for training. Waterfront Park is also a place where you'll find yourself on race day, as it serves as the swim start and the swim-to-bike transition area. Before the race, the park is a great place to take the family or spend an afternoon. There are three main attractions in the park:
The Wharf is home to the Belle of Louisville as well as its sister boat the Spirit of Jefferson. The Belle of Louisville is one of six river steamboats still in operation. The riverboat with its huge paddle wheel allows passengers to cruise the Ohio River as in the old days. Each ship has varying cruises from short day cruises to dinner cruises. Log on to belleoflouisville.org to make reservations.
Adventure Playground is an area to take the kids, especially on a hot day. Mom or dad can get acclimated to the area for the race while the kids cool off in the water and burn off some energy of their own.
Art in the Park: Waterfront Park is home to famed artist Ed Hamilton's sculpture of Abraham Lincoln. Second only to the sculpture in Washington of the former president, this sculpture is part civic lesson, part art. In addition, other sculptures by famous artist dot the park from the Flock of Finns to the abstract Gracehopper. Take some time to explore this outdoor gallery.
In need of some even fresher air? Explore over 30 miles of hiking trails in Jefferson Memorial Forest, the largest urban forest in the country.
Gallopalooza: Louisville's Sidewalk Derby
Cincinnati had painted flying pigs adorning its downtown so it's only fitting that Louisville has horses. The fanciful painted sculptures sprang up all over the city in 2009, and many still remain. There are 132 life-sized horses to be found, which capture the spirit of the city and the imagination of their creators. Log on to gallopalooza.com and look for the horse locator icon on the right side to find a horse near you—or make an adventure out of it and see how many you can find.
Museum Row
If you're into museums, check out Museum Row in downtown's West Main District. Here, the Frazier International History Museum features a collection of arms, armor and related historical artifacts spanning 1,000 years, and much more. The Louisville Science Center is Kentucky's largest hands-on science center, and the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft is tops if your'e into art and design. Sports fans should flock to the Muhammad Ali Center, and the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory, showcasing the history of the Louisville Slugger brand ofbaseball bats made by Hillerich & Bradsby, and of baseball in general.
Off the beaten path
Museums and parks not really your thing? Take Stephanie Swanson's advice, co-creator of Soas racing clothing company, and two-time Louisville finisher. She says that despite the fact that the downtown area draws most visitors, nearby Bardstown is her pick for its eclectic scene. "It reminds me of Portland," she says. "Some of the best restaurants I've been to are there. Once you're out of downtown Louisville there's all these bike shops and little art stores. You don't feel like you're in the south." Bardstown also hosts the annual Kentucky Bourbon Festival in September.

Throw Momma from the Peace Train
Jonathan Schwarz at A Tiny Revolution takes note of how even liberal-minded bright lights cast aspersions on pacifism and its inhibiting sway, conflating it with non-interventionism. After quoting from Matt Yglesias's new book Heads in the Sand--"In a world where one conservative author's proposed response to Islamic violence is to "invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity" and a non-trivial number of people are committed to blanket pacifism, the middle ground turns out to be an extraordinarily broad patch of terrain" (Yglesias), Schwarz retorts:
To begin with, the ritualized execration of the Dirty Fucking Hippies is gross. But what's worse is that it's completely untrue that "a non-trivial number of people are committed to blanket pacifism." Or at least it is if words have any meaning.
What interests me is how the faintest whiff or whisper of the pacifist creed rides the nerves of even those not clanking around in Victor Davis Hanson Roman Centurion armor on Halloween. Such as the irritable scowls that crept into so many reviews of Nicholson Baker's Human Smoke, which was characterized by some as a pacifist revisionist reading of World War II. This appears to be based more than what Baker has said in interviews rather than the text itself because the arguments and activities of pacifist groups make up a tiny part of the mosaic that is Human Smoke, and the impressions left by those mosaic panels are that the pacifist effort was a) quixotic (the wheels of war were inexorably in motion), and b) noble, because pacifist groups were the ones working the hardest on behalf of refugees, indeed were often the only ones trying to get rescue aid to the desperately needy, as this graf represents:
The American Friends Service Committee announced that it was going to attempt to carrying on feeding people in Europe regardless of whether the British enforced their blockade or not. "At the moment, American Quaker workers in unoccupied France are feeding more than 30,000 children daily," Clarence Pickett said. "Orphaned and abandoned children, many of whom are in concentration camps, are wholly cared for by the committee's representatives." It was December 11, 1940."We can't build a workable peace on the dead bones of mothers and babies," Pickett said."
Baker also has the poor taste to document how pacifist drafter resisters were treated, such as Howard Schoenfeld and Donald Benedict, who were thrown into solitary confinement for weeks, with Benedict (a talented pitcher) offered release from confinement if he would pitch in a crucial prison league softball game.
...Benedict said he wouldn't play unless everyone in solitary confinement--not just him and not just the pacifists but everybody--was released.Warden Gerlach pondered for an hour and then ordered everyone's release from solitary. Benedict pitched a no-hitter. The prison erupted in celebration.
But by not adhering to the supernarrative of World War II, which requires even stricter enforcement these days since it serves as the template for the War on Terror (with revolving Hitlers: Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, and Ahmadinejad), Baker has been dubbed "objectively fascist." Why, if he had his way, we'd all be speaking Nazi now!
No, the smallest squeak or spark of pacifism must be stamped out, not to preserve the honor of the Good War or Winston Churchill (could Churchill's standing be any higher?), but to ensure that present and future wars can be waged with full-throated bluster and fist-clenched resolve. Not even imaginary opposition must be allowed to impede and tarnish our glorious mission!
Recall how in the shaken weeks following 9/11 the late Michael Kelly was already laying down the law and painting yellow stripes down the backs of appeasers and peaceniks.
Organized terrorist groups have attacked America. These groups wish the Americans to not fight. The American pacifists wish the Americans to not fight. If the Americans do not fight, the terrorists will attack America again. And now we know such attacks can kill many thousands of Americans. The American pacifists, therefore, are on the side of future mass murders of Americans. They are objectively pro-terrorist.
Never mind, as Daily Howler's Bob Somerby pointed out, that Kelly didn't scruple to specify a single pacifist or pacifist group urging a hands-off policy toward the Taliban and Al Qaeda (Kelly did a follow up column that also heaped scorn and insult on nameless, unseen, hairy cartoon pacifists), or that the bombing and invasion of Afghanistan would meet with almost no domestic opposition, as Bush's sky-high poll numbers would later illustrate. The purpose was to portray all opposition to war as pacifist, and all pacifism as weak, craven, naive, deluded capitulation to those who would kill us with a smile, making the killers' job easier. Kelly would later deride the peace marches in Europe against war with Iraq, "To march against the war is not to give peace a chance. It is to give tyranny a chance. It is to give the Iraqi nuke a chance." We're going to be hearing a revival of such catcalls soon as urgings of military action against Iran start to spin on the turntable, and the volume knob is turned up loud enough for Michael O'Hanlon's throat clearings to reverberate across the land.

Thick cream of tomato soup – the best ever!
July 21, 2010 in Meatless meals, Soups
In my opinion, there is nothing like a good thick tomato soup. I make this often at home and we somehow never grow tired of it! I use tinned tomatoes – they are packed with flavour and loads of lycopene(cancer fighting phytochemical). A bit of potato gets added to give it a lovely thick consistency. Do give it a try and I guarentee you will thank me afterwards! We had a braai over the weekend and it was icy cold outside, so I served the soup in enamel cups and we enjoyed it next to the fire. The "braaiers" appreciated it!
Most of you will have all these ingredients at home!
You will need:
2 onions or 200 g leeks, chopped
2 sticks celery (optional), chopped
30 g butter
2 cans whole plum tomatoes
2 T(30 ml) Ina paarman sundried tomato pesto or tomato paste
2 potatoes, peeled and chopped into small cubes
1 cup(250ml) chicken stock (Ina or nomu)
2 T(30 ml) sugar
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 t(2 ml) nutmeg
2 bay leaves
250 ml cream
Saute the onions and celery in the butter until soft and aromatic.
Add the remaining ingredients except for the cream.
Cover, bring to the boil then reduce the temperature and simmer for 30 – 40 minutes. ( The potatoes take a while to cook because of the acid in the tomatoes.)
Blend the soup until smooth and velvety. Pour in the cream and heat through. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve with seed bread
Tip: if you don't have cream, replace with milk or stock.
What a busy 2 weeks it has been, but I think it will get back to normal again! Shoo!

Ready or not, Fiat vehicles are headed to the United States after an absence of nearly two decades. In anticipation of the launch, partner Chrysler is beginning to choose dealerships it deems capable of handling the sales and service for the Italian offering.
Later this year, the compact Fiat 500 two-door hatchback will be offered here in the States, with the cheeky two-door convertible to follow sometime next year. Following extensive market research, Chrysler decided it wants Fiat dealerships in approximately 125 areas throughout the country spread out among 41 states. The locations selected must have a growth potential for small cars over the next five years.
"The Fiat dealer network will be appropriately sized to serve the market opportunity," said Peter Grady, vice president of network development and fleet, in a press release. "Our vision is to establish a dealer network that will reflect and enhance the brand's reputation for innovation and fun, and will offer a unique, personalized customer experience."
Although Chrysler has a good sense of where it wants the showrooms to be located, dealerships must prove to the automaker that they are capable and ready to sell the Italian automaker's vehicles. Aside from providing a completely separate facility for the vehicles, prospective dealers must provide a separate set of employees devoted to the showroom and service. Well performing dealers will receive priority, but must still meet Fiat's high standards to be eligible. Prospects must also prove they are financially sound and can support such an undertaking.
Dealers in the selected markets have been invited to a meeting at Chrysler's Auburn Hills, Mich., headquarters to discuss the proceedings.
"This will be a long process," Chrysler spokesman Ralph Kisiel told Automotive News. "We don't anticipate announcing the actual Fiat dealer locations in the network until probably September. Once the proposals start coming in, we'll go over them carefully."
Although the Fiat 500 has already been on sale in world markets for some time, we're pretty excited. Are you as excited about the 500's launch as are we?

Paul Kuehnert: NewPublicHealth Q&A
This summer, Paul Kuehnert, MS, RN, joined the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) as senior program officer and director of the Foundation's Public Health Team. For nearly 20 years, Kuehnert has provided executive leadership to private and governmental organizations to build and improve systems to address complex health and human services needs. As the county health officer and executive director for health for Kane County, Ill, he led public-private partnerships, integrated planning with transportation, land use, parks and recreation and other diverse sectors, and a comprehensive wellness program for government workers that resulted in demonstrable improvements to the health of employees – as well as marked cost savings [watch an RWJF Public Health in Action video profile of Kuehnert].
NewPublicHealth caught up with Paul Kuehnert during the National Association of County and City Health Officials Annual Meeting this week to talk about the future of public health, and what his decades of leadership in government and private organizations to improve health has taught him.
NewPublicHealth: You were a health director at a time of great change in public health, and that includes massive budget cuts and incredibly rising rates of chronic disease, all creating a very challenging environment. How did that shape your approach to leadership at Kane County and how do you think it will inform what you'll now be doing in your position?
Paul Kuehnert: I think we're living through a time that there's this incredible convergence of the recession, the epidemic of chronic diseases and other situations that all present challenges for public health. As a local public health leader, the key thing was to really develop a strategic focus and to find ways to engage policymakers and other community leaders and partners. That was and is so critical because I think what we have to do in these times is really sort out what it is that public health, and in particular, governmental public health really has to do in order to meet these challenges. And, what is it that other partners can do or, in fact, may do better than governmental public health, which has to be an excellent steward of the public resources. Governmental public health has to be really well versed in what the evidence is for the kinds of things that we're doing, and be mindful of being very accountable and very transparent in the community as relatively scarce dollars are used to provide services to the community.
Those are the issues that were key for me when I was a local health director, and I think what that does for me in my new position at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is that it has really grounded me in the reality that these are very different and very difficult times for public health. So, I would say the same things that were true for me as a local health director really have to be true for Robert Wood Johnson Foundation as well. We need to be strategic, we need to be focused, we need to engage policymakers and stakeholders in our work and we need to be very transparent about what we're doing. So, I feel like my recent experience, in the trenches really provides a grounding for me in this new position.
NPH: Partnerships are critical to the future of public health and health departments. What partnerships did you develop or advance that were most critical to the success of public health endeavors in Kane County?

This fragrance-free toner for all skin types couldn't be more basic, and ends up being a waste of money, even though it doesn't contain problematic ingredients like alcohol or fragrant oils as many toners do.
What's missing (and what your skin needs from a toner) is a range of skin-repairing ingredients along with antioxidants and ingredients that encourage healthier skin cells. This toner is mostly water, glycerin, and preservative. Kiehl's included a couple of novel plant extracts, but neither of them has research proving any benefit for skin, so they amount to a "why bother?" rather than a must-have, and the amount is so small they end up being merely window dressing. The tiny amount of sodium hyaluronate (a good repairing ingredient found naturally in healthy skin) is likely too low to provide any benefit for your skin.
Please see our list of Best Toners for examples of formulas that make adding a toner to your daily routine an excellent idea.
Our Ultra Facial Oil-Free Toner is formulated to visibly reduce excess oil on skin's surface, while leaving it instantly fresh and healthy looking. Made with Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract and Antarcticine to soothe and hydrate skin, our non-drying alcohol-free formula gently removes any remaining residue, dirt and oil without stripping skin of vital moisture. pH-balanced, and tested for safety and gentleness.
Water, Glycerin, Propanediol, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Propylene Glycol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Triethanolamine, Citric Acid, Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract, Pseufoalteromonas Ferment Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Cucumis Satinus Juice/Cucumber Fruit Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Carbomer
This line has been around for quite some time, and has its origins in a family-owned pharmacy based in New York City. Perhaps its neighborly beginnings with a big-city heritage are what propelled Kiehl's to its long-standing status as a popular product line. Considering that Kiehl's doesn't advertise (at least not in the traditional sense, though their products get frequent press), their brand identity and status in the minds of consumers are impressive.
What gets lost in all the fashion magazine hype and company claims of "excellence" and "quality ingredients" is that almost all of the Kiehl's products hardly warrant excitement or even mild enthusiasm. Most of them are surprisingly ordinary, with a dusting of natural ingredients almost always at the very end of the ingredient list, well after the preservatives. That amounts to little more than a token attempt to make the products appear more natural to those who want to believe a plant or vitamin must somehow be better for the skin than something that sounds more chemical. Nevertheless, that token amount is enough to allow Kiehl's to brag about how its products nourish the skin or are more environmentally friendly, when they're not.
Aside from the allure of the natural, this line consists of totally ordinary and often completely unnatural ingredients. More disheartening for skin is that many of the ingredients are of questionable benefit for those with sensitive, oily, or blemish-prone skin. In some instances product ingredients are irritating for any skin type, while half of the sunscreen products are a serious problem for reliable sun protection. If you can't resist the allure of Kiehl's, just know that the product assembly will work best for those with dry to very dry skin and that, for the money, most of the formulas aren't knock-your-socks-off thrilling.
Note: Kiehl's is categorized as a brand that tests on animals because its products are sold in China. Although Kiehl's does not conduct animal testing for its products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brands state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law." Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Paula's Choice Research Team.

Home Financial Stability Resource Center
The fund industry plays an important role in Americans' saving and money management, managing more than $16 trillion through mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and unit investment trusts.
Asset management is an agency business—that is, such firms manage, but do not own, the assets that they invest on behalf of funds or other clients. This means that though asset managers generally decide where and how to invest assets on behalf of their investors, any profits or losses belong to the investors, not the manager. This is just one important distinction that policymakers and the public should understand as regulators discuss systemic risk and consider imposing new regulations on asset managers that could ultimately be paid for by fund investors.
Among those regulators is the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), which is charged with identifying and monitoring potential risks posed by "large, interconnected bank holding companies or nonbank financial companies" to the U.S. financial system. As part of that mission, FSOC commissioned a report from the U.S. Treasury's Office of Financial Research (OFR) to inform its analysis of the asset management industry and determine if—and, if so, how—any asset management firms should be designated as systemically important financial institutions (SIFIs). If designated as SIFIs, such firms would be subject to enhanced supervision and bank-style regulation, as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.
The OFR's report, "Asset Management and Financial Stability," was released in September 2013. Upon its release, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) took the unusual step of requesting comments. The Investment Company Institute responded in a comment letter outlining the many shortcomings of the OFR study.
ICI and its members remain committed to the promotion of financial stability; to sensible, deliberate, and data-driven regulation; and to advancing the public understanding of mutual funds. This resource center contains the latest news, analysis, and resources from ICI and others on the regulatory developments around financial stability and the asset management industry.

WPA makes a healthy choice with Claranet managed hosting
WPA explain the reasons they selected Claranet as their integrated Managed Services Provider in this case study. By using Claranet, WPA do not have to deal with the difficulties of managing multiple network and hosting providers. Claranet designed a holistic managed hosting and network solution for WPA which includes a Managed Application Hosting service based around a fully-virtualised environment, a VPN between three sites integrated with Claranet's own MPLS network, with a dual circuit resilient connection to the Internet.
WPA is a major player in the UK health insurance market, providing an extensive range of private medical insurance plans and health scheme administration services for corporate and individual clients. Based in Taunton, Somerset, the company takes considerable pride in its long history of successful business spanning more than a century.
A key component in WPA's long-running success is its commitment to quality of service. The company puts the customer at the centre of all that they do and consistently wins awards for outstanding customer satisfaction.
In 2003 WPA chose Claranet to provide a reliable and secure hosting platform to run its 24/7 administration system, assist on the secure control of sensitive customer information and enable a highly-available service where customers can manage their policies online.
In 2010 WPA undertook a comprehensive review of its IT infrastructure, as it sought to further minimize downtime and optimize efficiency across its operations. Following the re-tendering process, WPA again chose Claranet continuing their strong business relationship.
The brief
Adam Powell, WPA's IT Operations Manager. "Our customers expect to be able to access and manage their insurance policies at any time of the day or night, so service uptime was a critical consideration. We needed a single supplier that could provide an end-to-end service for both hosting and networking to entrust our important customer-facing and internal applications.
"As Claranet was already a trusted technology business partner which shares the same values as WPA - one that could consult on best practice and service management into the future - we asked them to help design our new solution."
Claranet proposed an entirely new Managed Application Hosting service based around a fully-virtualised environment, integrated with Claranet's own MPLS network.
The solution
Claranet implemented a Managed Hosting service comprising multiple servers, integrated with a resilient MPLS Virtual Private Network (VPN) to 3 UK sites. The use of dual circuits was employed to deliver automated failover between circuits in a business continuity situation and increase availability of the network and its resources.
Under the new service, Claranet hosts and manages WPA's customer-facing informational and ecommerce website; its internal accounting and business systems, which are used from many locations around the globe; and its company-wide Microsoft Exchange platform. The hosting service is complemented by an integrated highly-resilient MPLS network, incorporating IPSec VPN connectivity between UK locations and India. Finally, Claranet implemented a Storage Area Network (SAN) to meet WPA's storage requirements.
The service also includes centralised Internet breakout, terminated at one of Claranet's datacentres in London where Claranet provides WPA with dual circuit, resilient connectivity to the Internet.
In addition, Claranet provided a Managed Application service whereby WPA owns and operates an environment that provides dedicated clustered Microsoft Exchange services, as well as the use of a dedicated SAN to meet high performance storage requirements.
The entire service employs best-of-breed software, hardware and networking components, such as Cisco, Microsoft, HP and EMC and is proactively managed and monitored by Claranet's monitoring and alarming systems.
Claranet takes responsibility for overall service availability, which enables WPA to concentrate on running the business rather than worrying about our IT infrastructure," said Powell. "It also means that we do not have the additional headache of managing multiple network and hosting providers; instead, we enjoy a single point of contact for the entire service."
The result
Mark Chambers, WPA's Director of Best Practice, concludes, "WPA is committed to delivering outstanding levels of customer service and in Claranet we have identified an organisation that is willing to share this commitment with us. As a consequence the technical solution, and its delivery and management, is at a performance level that in many cases exceeds our expectations."
Business benefits
- Peace of mind, providing resilient network and system architecture with high availability of mission-critical applications
- High performance, delivering fast and reliable access to business resources
- Secure architecture protecting sensitive WPA client data
- Flexible, highly scalable solution to ensure customer service delivery now and into the future
- Access to detailed technical consultation and ongoing performance reviews to maximize performance and ensure the solution takes advantage of technological developments into the future

Miami Sport Fishing
Our Fishing Trips are an experience that will last a lifetime. You can choose to go offshore to target species like Sailfish, Wahoo, and Kingfish or inshore to target species like Tarpon, Snook, and Redfish just to name a few. All of our captains are seasoned veterans and can really put you on the fish so you are sure to have a great time no matter what type of Sport Fishing trip you choose to do. All of our boats are considered top of the line vessels equiped with the latest in technology. Offshore = Boats 31' to 43' Inshore = Flats Skiffs 16' - 19' Sport Fishing is a term really meant for the seasoned anglers. Yes, there is a time and place to get our there and just bend a rod which we do quite a lot of all year long. But Sport Fishing is the higher skill level style of fishing where it really is a mind game between you and the fish. Normally, this involves light line and large fish. For example, targeting 200 Lb. inshore Tarpon on 20 Lb line or even 12 weight fly rods. Or even targeting 100 Lb. offshore Sailfish on 20 Lb line. Accomplishing either one of these goals requires not only expertise from the captain but also listening skills and quick reflexes from the one fighting the fish. If the angler is lucky enough he can sometimes get his picture taken with his catch and help release it so it can be caught another day. This insures that Sport Fishing will be around for generations to come. Sport Fishing = Tougher Fish on Light Tackle Sport Fishing = We Practice Catch & Release Offshore Species = All Billfish - Sailfish, Marlin, Swordfish, and Spearfish Inshore Species = Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit, Snook, and Redfish Fishing in Miami and all of South Florida can be done all year long. However, there are certain months that will be better for specific species. For example, the colder winter months of December-April are the best months to target offshore Sailfish with our deep sea fishing boats. The Spring months of April-June are the best to target Tarpon with our inshore backcountry flats guides. Planning your fishing trip during the prime time of year really helps your chances on landing that trophy you've been dreaming about. We encourage you to contact us when planning your trip so we can help you through the process. Sailfish Season = December - April Tarpon Season = April - June Dolphin (Mahi Mahi) = Summer Months |

A diagnosis of cancer is life-altering and devastating. And that's a gross understatement. Navigating a treatment plan and knowing about, much less making sense of, the information & the resources that already exist to help a cancer patient and their caregivers is as challenging and confusing as the disease itself.
While battling my husband's cancer, I learned about so many amazing groups whose sole purpose is to help cancer patients and their caregivers on their journey. But the challenge is finding them. How can you search for things that you don't even know exist?
To help answer this question, I created CancerHAWK. Some resources I knew about during our journey; others I wish I had known about. My hope is to make anyone else's cancer journey a tad bit easier by sharing this information.
BTW, in case you are wondering, I chose the name CancerHAWK because hawks are symbolic of messengers and protectors. Keen vision is one of their greatest gifts, which is why they can see things that others may miss.
If you know of a resource that I can write about, please send an email to email@example.com.

My grandson wants a police car cake and since I've never done cakes before I am not sure how to do this.
I have a cake mold for a car and thought I would fill it with rkt to form the car instead of cake. My daughter ordered a cake from Costco and I was wondering if I can put the completed rkt police car on top of the buttercream or will I have a disaster? Will it sink into the cake?

VARANASI: Though the country faced one of the deadliest tremors in northern and eastern parts on Sunday, those living in Varanasi need not panic. Though it is put on moderate risk zone, the city has never faced any casualty or destruction as a result of an earthquake.
"Varanasi has been put in the seismic zone III just because it is close to the Himalayan foreland, but the city has not received even a single crack in the building during the earthquake," VP Singh, a professor of seismology at the department of geophysics, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), told TOI on Monday.
However, Varanasi was among the 38 cities of the country covered under the Urban Earthquake Vulnerability Reduction Project of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The project covered 38 cities in an effort to prepare communities against earthquake vulnerability. Each of these cities has a population of over half a million and falls within the seismic zones of III to V. These are medium to high-risk zones.
According to Singh, except for the tremors, the city never witnessed any casualty or mass destruction during earthquake. The seismic zone III is a moderate risk zone while zone IV is high risk zone and zone V is the worst risk zone. The records suggested that Varanasi is safer place in comparison to other places in seismic zones, he said.
The GoI-UNDP Disaster Risk Management Programme is a national initiative to reduce vulnerabilities of communities in some of the most hazard-prone districts of the country (16 districts and 17 states). It aims to contribute to the social and economic development goals of the national and the state governments, enable them to minimise losses to development gains and to reduce their vulnerability to natural disasters. According to UNDP report, About 59% of the total land in India is vulnerable to earthquakes.
A lack of awareness and capacity to cope with calamity accentuates the loss of lives and livelihoods. While the Ministry of Home Affairs is the national partner, the project is implemented through the district administration in each city. The five focus areas in this project include awareness, techno-legal regime (creating a legal framework for disaster management), knowledge networking, training and capacity building, and preparedness plans.
The training, awareness sessions and coordinated mock drills ensure the creation of a systemic framework of disaster preparedness from communities to municipal and district-level authorities.
"A fund of Rs 6.15 lakh has been sanctioned for the district under urban earthquake risk reduction programme, but we have yet to received the amount," Sahdev, the ADM (finance) who looks after the disaster management, told TOI. He, however, said the 16-member steering committee headed by the district magistrate had already been formed to chalk out strategies. The steering committee comprises members from police, district administration and officials of different departments.
"We would start training of the government functionaries in different departments immediately after receiving the fund," he said and added so far the civil defense unit conducted such programmes time to time with their own resources. "The main objective of the programme to minimise the impact of crisis by making quick and effective response," he said.

text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 557 - 20 November, 2002 Closed Circuit Television Systems. Mr. Costello Mr. Costello Mr. Costello: This matter has come to my attention with the publication recently of the annual report for 2001 of the Garda Complaints Board. The report expresses utmost concern that there was much delay in the installation of equipment and cameras in cells and interview rooms in Garda stations. In 1979 the Barra Ó Briain report into the detention of suspects in Garda custody was published. It was initiated in 1977 after the allegations about the heavy gang activities in the mid-1970s. It recommended that all interrogations and interviews should be recorded on video and tape. Twenty-three years later the Garda Complaints Board is expressing concern about the slow progress in this matter. Clearly the absence of such equipment hampers the work of the Garda Complaints Board. There have been many complaints in recent days about that body because nearly all its investigations tend to run into the sand. The reason partly is that conflicting statements are made and there is no evidence in the case of interviews taking place in Garda custody to verify statements. This equipment would be a protection for gardaí and suspects. Video and tape evidence could be used in the event of a complaint or a court case. The previous Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform said that he had no intention of introducing the equipment in all Garda stations. In a report in The Irish Times on 14 November a Garda spokesperson said that the Department was in ongoing talks with the Garda authorities on the widespread installation of cameras in the reception and cell areas of Garda stations. The spokesperson was unable to say when a concerted installation process might begin. Only a handful of stations have the equipment installed. In some stations the equipment is available but the cameras are not. An effort is not being made and the discussions which are ongoing between the Department and the Garda leave something to be desired. 1416 I ask the Minister of State to make a proactive statement tonight as to when the Department and the Garda authorities will finish these discussions and when equipment will be installed. The efforts of the Garda Complaints Board are largely in vain on this matter and it makes it more difficult [1416] for it to unravel the validity or otherwise of complaints. It is about time this matter was put to rest. Mr. O'Dea Mr. O'Dea Mr. O'Dea: On behalf of the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, I wish to set out the position with regard to the introduction of closed circuit television systems in Garda stations. The Minister is very conscious of the general potential of modern technology to enhance the criminal justice process, including of course the safeguarding of the rights of those in custody. A system for the video recording of interviews of persons in Garda custody has been widely installed in Garda stations over the past two years. This represents a significant additional safeguard against ill-treatment of those in custody as well as acting as a protection for members of the force in certain circumstances. In this regard, the Minister is aware that the issue of installing closed circuit television cameras in Garda stations has been raised by the Garda Complaints Board in its report for 2000, which was recently laid before both Houses of the Oireachtas. In that report, the board recommends the use of CCTV, particularly in the reception and cell areas of Garda stations. It points to this being a common area of complaint and a difficulty the board is faced with when no independent third party evidence is available. In this regard, CCTV evidence available from both street and business cameras has proved useful to the board in the investigation of a number of cases, including allegations of serious assaults. This recommendation of the Garda Complaints Board, founded as it is on its experience of investigating complaints arising from incidents in Garda stations, deserves serious consideration and the Minister has asked his officials to examine the proposal, in consultation with Garda management, to work through the issues to which the proposal gives rise and to see how best the matter might be taken forward. Discussions have commenced with the Garda Síochána on the matter, and the Minister looks forward to considering the conclusions of the examination of the proposal.

Dress a Marching Leatherneck: Band Uniform Campaign
Dear Friends,
After hundreds of performances over more than a decade, the time has arrived for a uniform change. The Marching Leathernecks are excited to announce the design of a new uniform that will honor tradition while incorporating contemporary style and technology.
While the new uniform will keep the current hat design and, of course, the tradition of Western purple and gold, several modifications have been made to give an improved look and wear, some of which are detailed on the adjacent page.
Our goal is to raise $75,000 this spring to fund our new uniforms. Thanks to a generous lead gift from Gene Teeter of Mt. Carroll, IL, we are well on our way to a new look for the Marching Leathernecks.
Please consider a gift to help outfit the Marching Leathernecks so that, with your support, we will introduce the new uniforms with the 2011 Leatherneck football season!
Mike Fansler, Director of Bands
You can donate online or follow the progress of the campaign at wiu.edu/uniform
