FISCAM presents a methodology for performing information system (IS) control audits of federal and other governmental entities in accordance with professional standards. This version supersedes the prior version, Federal Information System Controls Audit Manual: Volume I Financial Statement Audits, AIMD-12.19.6, January 1, 2001. The FISCAM is designed to be used primarily on financial and performance audits and attestation engagements performed in accordance with GAGAS, as presented in Government Auditing Standards (also know as the "Yellow Book"). The FISCAM is consistent with the GAO/PCIE Financial Audit Manual (FAM). Also, FISCAM control activities are consistent with NIST Special Publication 800-53 and all SP800-53 controls have been mapped to the FISCAM. The FISCAM, which is consistent with NIST and other criteria, is organized to facilitate effective and efficient IS control audits. Specifically, the methodology in the FISCAM incorporates the following: (1) A top-down, risk-based approach that considers materiality and significance in determining effective and efficient audit procedures; (2) Evaluation of entitywide controls and their effect on audit risk; (3) Evaluation of general controls and their pervasive impact on business process application controls; (4) Evaluation of security management at all levels (entitywide, system, and business process application levels); (5) A control hierarchy (control categories, critical elements, and control activities) to assist in evaluating the significance of identified IS control weaknesses; (6) Groupings of control categories consistent with the nature of the risk; and (7) Experience gained in GAO's performance and review of IS control audits, including field testing the concepts in this revised FISCAM.

Movie News After Dark: More 'Game of Thrones,' Sci-Fi Bars, Selena Gomez Replacing Miley Cyrus, and McG Getting Shot in the Ass
Movie News By Nathan Adams on February 10, 2012 | Comments (1)What is Movie News After Dark? Tonight it's the column I'm filling in on as Neil Miller journeys to the mystical, frozen land of Chicago. It's also a list of links to movie or entertainment related things that I either found interesting, noteworthy, or that involved super famous young girls from the Disney channel. Tonight we begin by getting a glimpse at the second season of HBO's Game of Thrones. WinterisComing.net has a whole host of pictures from the second season that have reminded me of how much I like the show and reinforced the three reasons why I'm looking forward to new episodes so much: boobs, blood, and Brienne. Hopefully we'll be getting a lot of each.
Disney's Snow White Project Gets a New Director and a New Title
Movie News By Nathan Adams on August 4, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThe saga of the three Snow White movies continues. While most of the media attention has been going to Universal's Snow White and The Huntsman and Relativity's Lily Collins/Julia Roberts starring Snow White project up to this point, that's because they got a bit of a head start in the Snow White game. Disney announced a while ago that they were going to be throwing their hats into the ring and turning this battle of the Snow Whites into a three-way affair, and there appears to be some motion on that front. When last we reported on this film it was going to be called Snow and the Seven, and it was about a 19th century Englishwoman traveling to Hong Kong for her father's funeral, along with seven deadly companions. That concept seems to still be in place, and we also know a bit more about it. This Englishwoman, it seems, is being pursued by an ancient evil, and the warriors accompanying her are not only from an ancient order of fighters, they are also a multi-national group of colorful characters with different fighting styles.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 As he walked away from the Temple, one of his disciples said, "Teacher, look at that stonework! Those buildings!" | 1 As he was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!" |
2 Jesus said, "You're impressed by this grandiose architecture? There's not a stone in the whole works that is not going to end up in a heap of rubble." | 2 "Do you see all these great buildings?" replied Jesus. "Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down." |
3 Later, as he was sitting on Mount Olives in full view of the Temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew got him off by himself and asked, | 3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him privately, |
4 "Tell us, when is this going to happen? What sign will we get that things are coming to a head?" | 4 "Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?" |
5 Jesus began, "Watch out for doomsday deceivers. | 5 Jesus said to them: "Watch out that no one deceives you. |
6 Many leaders are going to show up with forged identities claiming, 'I'm the One.' They will deceive a lot of people. | 6 Many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and will deceive many. |
7 When you hear of wars and rumored wars, keep your head and don't panic. This is routine history, and no sign of the end. | 7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. |
8 Nation will fight nation and ruler fight ruler, over and over. Earthquakes will occur in various places. There will be famines. But these things are nothing compared to what's coming. | 8 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains. |
9 "And watch out! They're going to drag you into court. And then it will go from bad to worse, dog-eat-dog, everyone at your throat because you carry my name. You're placed there as sentinels to truth. | 9 "You must be on your guard. You will be handed over to the local councils and flogged in the synagogues. On account of me you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them. |
10 The Message has to be preached all across the world. | 10 And the gospel must first be preached to all nations. |
11 "When they bring you, betrayed, into court, don't worry about what you'll say. When the time comes, say what's on your heart - the Holy Spirit will make his witness in and through you. | 11 Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit. |
12 "It's going to be brother killing brother, father killing child, children killing parents. | 12 "Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. |
13 There's no telling who will hate you because of me. "Stay with it - that's what is required. Stay with it to the end. You won't be sorry; you'll be saved. | 13 All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. |
14 "But be ready to run for it when you see the monster of desecration set up where it should never be. You who can read, make sure you understand what I'm talking about. If you're living in Judea at the time, run for the hills; | 14 "When you see 'the abomination that causes desolation' standing where it does not belong--let the reader understand--then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. |
15 if you're working in the yard, don't go back to the house to get anything; | 15 Let no one on the roof of his house go down or enter the house to take anything out. |
16 if you're out in the field, don't go back to get your coat. | 16 Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. |
17 Pregnant and nursing mothers will have it especially hard. | 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! |
18 Hope and pray this won't happen in the middle of winter. | 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, |
19 "These are going to be hard days - nothing like it from the time God made the world right up to the present. And there'll be nothing like it again. | 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now--and never to be equaled again. |
20 If he let the days of trouble run their course, nobody would make it. But because of God's chosen people, those he personally chose, he has already intervened. | 20 If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. |
21 "If anyone tries to flag you down, calling out, 'Here's the Messiah!' or points, 'There he is!' don't fall for it. | 21 At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ !' or, 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it. |
22 Fake Messiahs and lying preachers are going to pop up everywhere. Their impressive credentials and dazzling performances will pull the wool over the eyes of even those who ought to know better. | 22 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles to deceive the elect--if that were possible. |
23 So watch out. I've given you fair warning. | 23 So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time. |
24 "Following those hard times, Sun will fade out, moon cloud over, | 24 "But in those days, following that distress, " 'the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; |
25 Stars fall out of the sky, cosmic powers tremble. | 25 the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.' |
26 "And then they'll see the Son of Man enter in grand style, his Arrival filling the sky - no one will miss it! | 26 "At that time men will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. |
27 He'll dispatch the angels; they will pull in the chosen from the four winds, from pole to pole. | 27 And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens. |
28 "Take a lesson from the fig tree. From the moment you notice its buds form, the merest hint of green, you know summer's just around the corner. | 28 "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. |
29 And so it is with you. When you see all these things, you know he is at the door. | 29 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door. |
30 Don't take this lightly. I'm not just saying this for some future generation, but for this one, too - these things will happen. | 30 I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. |
31 Sky and earth will wear out; my words won't wear out. | 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. |
32 "But the exact day and hour? No one knows that, not even heaven's angels, not even the Son. Only the Father. | 32 "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. |
33 So keep a sharp lookout, for you don't know the timetable. | 33 Be on guard! Be alert ! You do not know when that time will come. |
34 It's like a man who takes a trip, leaving home and putting his servants in charge, each assigned a task, and commanding the gatekeeper to stand watch. | 34 It's like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with his assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. |
35 So, stay at your post, watching. You have no idea when the homeowner is returning, whether evening, midnight, cockcrow, or morning. | 35 "Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back--whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. |
36 You don't want him showing up unannounced, with you asleep on the job. | 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. |
37 I say it to you, and I'm saying it to all: Stay at your post. Keep watch." | 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: 'Watch!' " |

6 Habits to Stop Now for Online Dating Success
Some of us are talkers and we share about everything in our past and our current lives. EVERYTHING! Especially when you're writing up a bio about yourself or communicating with a date, think first before hitting the "enter" key. Does this person need to know how crushed you were when your high school sweetheart dumped you? Does he or she really care about that rash you had last month?
Know when it's TMI (too much information) and choose to share interesting and meaningful things about you that won't overload or gross out your date.
#5: Jealous
Jealousy is a mood killer and will send your date running away. Acknowledge it if you get jealous easily and try to understand what triggers you. When those situations come up, have a plan for what you'll do. Make a list of words, phrases and actions that help you calm down and see clearly.
As a relationship develops between you and your special someone, create clear agreements. Agreements can be as simple as how often you two expect to contact one another or the level of commitment you have in your relationship. The less confusion about "what this is," the easier it is to soothe jealousy.
#6: Live in the past
We humans seem to have a nasty habit of living in the past. It's understandable because it's what we know. It's firmer in our minds because we just lived it in memory or real life. It's a wonderful thing when you can learn from and appreciate your past, but it can be a serious block to love when you can't get out of the past.
If you have a habit of comparing your date to your ex, stop! When you view what's happening now through a past-focused perspective, your vision will be skewed. You won't know whether you're reacting to this person you're just getting to know or actually to a memory.
Make it your intention to be present and to meet your date from the here and now. This is far more enjoyable AND it will set you up for success at love...instead of more of the same.
Attracting the love of your life can be easy and effortless! Find out how to remove blocks that keep you single and miserable and open yourself up to a close, connected and passionate relationship. Get started today with Automatic Attraction Secrets at www.automaticattractionsecrets.com

Thrill Kill (1997/cancelled)
Perhaps one of the most notorious games of all time, Thrill Kill was to be a four-player fighting free-for-all among damned souls of the dead, fighting for a chance to return to life as a gift from a demonic goddess of Hell. Sound familiar? Yep, it's the same basic concept as Fight for Life, but Thrill Kill went to extremes the former wouldn't even think to touch. Besides the much-ballyhooed four-player combat, Thrill Kill featured some of the most vile, depraved characters to ever grace fighting games combined with ultra-violence and even some sexualized sadism (that had to be toned down at the ESRB's request to avoid an AO rating).
For a game set in Hell, however, Thrill Kill is a bit different than what you'd expect. Rather than scorched earth and volcanic fire, Hell in Thrill Kill resembles the modern world, only twisted and tattered with blood, graffiti, and other unpleasant imagery. Factories, jail cells, back alleys, even an asylum with padded walls were all present for you to fight to the bloody end in.
Most of us know the story by now: The game was set to be published by Virgin Interactive, who, shortly before release, were bought out by Electronic Arts. EA took one look into Thrill Kill's abyss and ran away screaming, cancelling the now-finished product with the explanation that they didn't want to unleash "such a senselessly violent game" upon the public and refusing to license it to anyone else. That didn't stop near-complete copies of the game's code from being leaked onto the web and played by the curious, however. This year, EA released the exceptionally grotesque and violent Dante's Inferno. Times have certainly changed.
Disgaea (2003)
Disgaea's a strategy/RPG that's all about Hell. Yes, it's called the Netherworld, but its inspiration is obvious – it's populated by devious, scheming demons and serves as a place of torment for the souls of sinners. There's not much sulfur and searing flame compared to other representations, but considering that the Netherworld's strongest demons are all warring with each other for the chance to be King of the Hell Hill, it's not a particularly pleasant place, either. Which is why Prince Laharl and his army has to step on in and show everyone who's boss.
There's a heavenly counterpart to the Netherworld, too – Celestia, where angels live. Both lands have "Prinnies" – souls of dead humans that have reincarnated into the form of peg-legged stuffed penguins. We don't know much about the Prinnies that live in Celestia's luxury, though – we're mostly familiar with the souls of the damned in the Netherworld that talk like brain-damaged surfers, explode when thrown, and are forced into hard labor by their demonic overlords.
During the story, young angel Flonne is sent to the Netherworld from Celestia on an assassination mission – and somehow winds up in Laharl's demon army in the process. Flonne discovers that maybe Celestia's anti-demon propaganda isn't entirely true, and that Celestia isn't the peaceful paradise it might look like, either – someone's scheming behind the scenes. Eventually things blow up into an all-out war between the Netherworld, Celestia, and Earth. Depending on the player's actions over the course of the game, one of several endings determining the fate of the realms is possible. But things won't stay sane for too long - there are numerous worlds with their own little Netherworlds and Celestias throughout the universe that the Disgaea sequels and other NIS games take place in.
Painkiller (2004)
Dying early sucks, but perhaps what sucks even more is having your wife go to heaven while you're stuck in Purgatory for God only knows how long. That's the situation poor Daniel, the hero of Painkiller, is trapped in. When he's offered escape from purgatory ("purification") in exchange for eliminating the four generals of Lucifer's army and prematurely ending a looming war between Heaven and Hell, Daniel leaps at the opportunity. The story takes further twists and turns as Daniel continues his assassination mission from Purgatory into Hell, introducing a cast of characters that even includes one particularly famous Biblical matriarch in a very surprising role.
Painkiller is an old-school styled FPS in the vein of the original Doom and Quake. The game itself is great, but one of the most striking things about it is the visuals and environments associated with Purgatory and Hell. Purgatory's dark, moody environments and gothic architecture set a genuinely somber mood that emphasizes Daniel's desperation to escape. You can't spend too much time looking at the environments, though – you've got hellspawn to blast through, including encounters with several terrifyingly huge demons that tower over the landscape and loom several stories over Daniel. As the game progresses, the landscape begins to change, and you'll start encountering different sorts of levels from various stage in humanity's history (including some more modern backdrops), until you finally reach Hell itself.
Painkiller's expansion/sequel, Battle out of Hell, lives up to its name by continuing the story from Lucifer's fall and providing the player with even more underworldly environments to blast their way through. There's also a third game, Painkiller: Overdose, that stars a half-demon/half-angel anti-hero named Belial rampaging against from both Heaven and Hell that have wronged him, but the less said about that one the better. (Don't play the awful Painkiller: Resurrection spinoff, either.)
Dante's Inferno (2010)
EA and Visceral Games' revisionist take on the literary classic is entirely about taking players on a trip through Hell. It doesn't pull any punches in its portrayal, either – you'll go through all 9 of the Circles of Hell and fight off some of the most hideous representations of the Seven Deadly Sins ever rendered, all in a quest to free your beloved from the Big L himself. Along the way, you'll use a combination of holy and unholy powers and choose to absolve or punish numerous famous sinners from history.
Obviously, there are significant changes to the original story here. Rather than the poem's middle-aged diplomat, Dante is a Crusader who has committed numerous war atrocities and goes into the maw of Hell to rescue his beloved. He also manages to kill off Death and take his scythe, which he puts to good use tearing apart everything in his path as he makes his way down to Lucifer's frozen prison. Sections that are fairly short in the text, like the circles of hell devoted to Gluttony and Lust, are expanded into lengthy levels in the game. We get the feeling that Aligheri didn't imagine Dante fighting a giant topless Cleopatra boss that shoots winged demon babies out of her nipples, either, but that's artistic license for you.
For all the (somewhat excruciating) detail put into the designs of the environments and enemies, reviews for Dante's Inferno have generally been mixed, citing rather generic hack-n-slash style action gameplay. The game seems to have sold pretty well, though, and the ending leaves room for a future trip through Purgatory. Knowing EA's penchant for franchising their properties, we'd say that's a journey that's likely to occur to in the future.

Still a little to early to give a complete review for this particular product, however I believe it is helping my cats a lot. I have noticed definite improvement thus far.

Helps control my dogs skin problem. I used to have the vet give him shots. But now, when I see problem coming on I spray him down and rub it in. Has worked for last 3 years.

The cat had an allergic reaction to topical flea medication. Even after treatment she has had some itchy spots and this is helpful.

My dog has very itchy skin and this does seem to calm her hot spots, but it leaves the coat kind of oily.
by Prisoner Of Hope "cookbook lover" | Date Added: Friday 22 February, 2013 |
My Jacob was having a problem with thinning fur and had some scabs, which I assumed was from a flea allergy. I purchased this spray as well as some vitamins and a flea preventative, and his fur is now growing in beautifully. He's not crazy about being sprayed, but seems to understand it's to help him out. Good product - works well.

I used this on my cat. Its just hard to put any type of medicine on a cat. But when I could get it on, it kept my kitty from licking its hot spot brought on by allergies.

I am in the process of choosing granite for my kitchen counters. I LOVE ASTERIX and believe it will look great in my house. I have heard that the installers HATE this one and Cosmus. Awful to work with. I would like to hear from those who have it in your house. Any problems? Are you happy with it? The company is coming to measure for template today. But I have time to choose different granite. HELP!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
We are in the planning stage for our reno so do not have that beautiful stone. When I searched google for it, I found the older GW thread about it that is linked below-- or at least I am trying to link it below. Hope it helps. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Old GW thread on asterix
- Posted by pcl-homefree (My Page) on Tue, Sep 2, 14 at 16:37
Thank you tea4all, I have checked out the old GW thread and am seeing mixed reviews. However those people who have it are still enjoying it. The thread is from 2009 which means the Asterix has been around for 5yrs for sure, they are still selling it for kitchens sooooo ....... that says something do you think?? I am new to GW and am so impressed with it. I plan to renovate my basement next and will use GW A LOT!! :) |
Just had Black Cosmic granite in a leathered finish installed in my kitchen but we are still in the process of our reno so I haven't lived with it... but I can tell you- it is GORGEOUS!!! It looks very much like soapstone. I did not have any issues whatsoever with the fabricator - why is it such a problem? |
- Posted by pcl-homefree (My Page) on Tue, Sep 2, 14 at 20:50
AWESOME!! I loved Kosmus too but couldn't get it in the leathered finish. The Asterix is just as lovely. The complaint of the fabricators is that because the rock is a schist (google granite schist) the metallic parts flake away making the rock difficult to cut. They have had to use fillers where the rock flakes ...... so more work. This is the short explanation there is a lot more to it technically. Thanks for responding, I am encouraged by the fact that it was installed with no hiccups and that its GORGEOUS!!! Did you use it for backsplash also or have you installed a separate backsplash with small tiles. Any photos of the countertop? |
I don't have Asterix but I considered it... never heard of it being a problem. I ended up with Black Forest instead - sort of similar but without the possible rust tones - and it is gorgeous! |

Yes, it's a schist. The metallic-looking bits are mica minerals. which form in a flat, flake-like shape. In a metamorphic rock, which this is, all the mica flakes align so they point in the same direction. This creates planes of weakness where the minerals naturally flake apart. This is particularly true on corners and edges, and is even more true if the natural grain of the rock is parallel with the edge. If you wanted to use it as a backsplash, where no edges are exposed, I bet it would be fine once installed. That said, I have zero experience with this actual rock - I'm just offering an explanation for why it can be a problem. Usually if the fabricators are shying away from it there's a good reason to proceed with caution. |
- Posted by pcl-homefree (My Page) on Wed, Sep 3, 14 at 1:52
I plan to speak to the granite dealer and confirm that the person doing the cutting has experience with schist rock. Thank you Karin_mt I will proceed with much caution. Very sound advice. To Yael_d The black forest slab is very attractive, however,It wouldn't work for my kitchen, the dark brown tones and rich rust opalite in the Asteric is ideal. I have searched for a (non schist) rock that would resemble it and haven't succeeded. |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Wed, Sep 3, 14 at 7:22
It's a huge PIA to fabricate, and the edges WILL get knicks and abrasions once installed. A scrap piece can be crumbled with your hands. It's a poor choice for anythig but a show kitchen. |
Yael_d - I just wanted to say that I have never seen Black Forest granite before your pic, and it is stunning. I hope you will post your kitchen when it is finished. |
- Posted by pcl-homefree (My Page) on Sun, Sep 28, 14 at 23:11
Thought I would update this conversation: The Asterix granite has been installed and it is FANTABULOUS !! Now I am looking for backsplash which will compliment it. Any suggestions? |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
MEXICO - Mexico govt bond yields at 1-month high after data

Mexico govt bond yields at 1-month high after data
Mon Sep 24, 2007 2:54 PM ET
(Recasts, adds details, background)
MEXICO CITY, Sept 24 (Reuters) - The yield on Mexico's benchmark 10-year
government bond jumped to a one-month high on Monday after surprisingly
high inflation data convinced some investors the central bank could soon
tighten the money supply.
The yield for the note due in Dec. 2015 <MX10YT=RR> rose 6 basis points to
bid 7.91 percent as its price fell 0.364 of a point to 100.522. Bond
yields move inversely to their price.
The peso <MXN=> <MEX01> strengthened 0.09 percent to 10.951 per dollar,
while the benchmark IPC stock index <.MXX> slipped 0.41 percent to 30,456
Consumer prices rose 0.62 percent in the first half of September, above
the 0.45 percent median forecast by economists in a Reuters poll.
"This tells you that Mexico's central bank could, in the not-so-distant
future, have to raise rates to control inflation," said a bond trader in
Mexico City.
The central bank kept a bias toward raising interest rates in its most
recent monetary policy statement last week, when it kept its overnight
rate steady at 7.25 percent for the fifth straight month. Twelve-month
inflation readings have hung around, and often above, the central bank's
upper tolerance limit of 4 percent in recent months.
Monday's inflation report showed annual inflation at 3.99 percent.
The central bank's next monetary policy review will be on Oct. 26.
Higher interest rates in Mexico would help the peso because it would make
Mexican peso bonds more attractive to yield-hungry investors.
The yield on the government's benchmark 20-year peso bond <MX20YT=RR> rose
6 basis points to bid 7.94 percent, as its price fell 0.644 of a point to
Traders said the peso also got a boost from speculation among investors
that the U.S. Federal Reserve would cut interest rates again next month.
Last week, the Fed surprised markets with a hefty half-percentage-point
In stock trading cement maker Cemex <CMXCPO.MX>, the world's top building
material firm by revenue, dropped 1.34 percent to 31.69 pesos. Its New
York-traded shares <CX.N> were off 1.26 percent at $28.91.
Mexican bank Inbursa <GFINBURO.MX> slipped 3.92 percent to 25.49 pesos a
Shares of top retailer Wal-Mart de Mexico <WALMEXV.MX> gained 1.48 percent
to 41.80 pesos.

Premier Jim Prentice announced Thursday his 20-member cabinet has agreed to take a five-per-cent pay cut as the province grapples with shrinking oil revenues.

School districts have been lobbying Alberta Education for years to address the issue. Some are concerned draft regulations for the new Education Act do nothing to tackle it.

Picture Postcard Worth A Thousand Words As Multicultural Health Literacy Tool
Cigna's Multicultural Communications Workgroup teamed with case management nurses and Cigna's Health Disparity Council to create a pictorial postcard campaign which is successfully helping Cigna's Haitian customers get the full benefit of their health insurance and improve health outcomes. Michele Wolff-Poitevien, tri-lingual case management nurse for Cigna in Orlando, FL has a large number of Haitian customers. When those customers experienced a serious medical issue or hospitalization, she found it difficult to connect with them by phone for medical follow-up. When this occurs, the usual approach is to send a follow-up letter—written in English. Frustrated and concerned that this approach wasn't working; Wolff-Poitevien highlighted the communications issue with Cigna's Multicultural Communications Workgroup lead, Crystal Duran.
Wolff-Poitevien, Duran and other members of Cigna's Health Disparity Council researched the issue. Their findings uncovered that their Haitian customers often do not understand what case management is and why it's important. Research also showed this population will not answer a call from an unknown caller like an 800 number. In addition they learned these customers often can't read print communications, in any language. Other challenges found included preference for Creole or French communications; stigma for receiving care; decision making role not held by the patient; limited understanding of health plan covered benefits and services; very low preventive care use and high use of the emergency room and hospital services.
Determined to overcome these barriers creating a problematic health disparity for the Haitian customer base, the team employed health literacy tactics to create a culturally-tailored, pictorial postcard campaign asking customers to call a Cigna nurse case manager.
"The pictures convey the simple call to action relying on the graphic image, a picture of a nurse with a telephone, to convey the message. Also, a very short message is written on the back of the postcard in three languages--French, Creole and English. The postcard is also visually appealing and doesn't require opening an envelope. The case manager mails the card whenever a customer cannot be reached through phone contact," explains Duran.

disappointed :(.....i thought this was gonna be a holy grail product. i got this for my birthday back in august and i see barely any difference in my skin. its a little smoother i guess but thats it i was hoping that this would clear up some of my clogged pores but it didnt. first week i started using this i went through the "purging" phase and i got very big break outs i didnt freak out because this is what happened to many others and i was hoping when the break outs cleared up my skin would look great. unfortunately after i passed the phase my skin looked exactly the same. it feels like i couldve gotten the same results with just an exfoliater from the drugstore. i will continue using this just because it was so pricy and it does remove makeup pretty decently. it feels like the mia didnt work on me because my acne/clogged pores r from teenage hormone changes and what not and not because im not cleansing my skin well.(if that makes sense) maybe itll work better after my teenage years(16 btw)

I am 47 and have had very dry flaking skin especially on my forehead. It's bad in winter but was also bad this summer. I also usually get clogged pores on my nose. I researched the Clarisonic before but didn't purchase due to price. A salesperson at Dillards convinced me that I had to exfoliate more so the products could do their job. I used to exfoliate about once per week. I began using this product daily with a Lancome cleanser designed for dry skin. What a difference the Clarisonic made! I have not had flaky skin or clogged pores since beginning to use it two weeks ago. The products do soak in and work much better now. It was not too harsh to use it twice daily which I did the first week. I would recommed this product!

Edit: I was going through my reviews and realized that I had not given this wonderful product an update! Well, by the use of that adjective, I think you can see where this is going. I absolutely love my Mia. It was a pricey investment but so well worth it to get the piece of mind that my face is as stripped of makeup as it can be. As an acne-prone girl with uneven skin tone, I admit that I pound the makeup on every day. Because of this, the Mia is essential for me in making sure every last drop of it is scrubbed off at the end of the day.
Okay, so I'm starting a review although it's been barely a week since I started using this. For starters, I am going through a bit of a purge phase that is freaking me out. Thanks to this awesome regimen from my derm, I haven't had a pimple like the bad old days in forever. Unfortunately, the Clarisonic has cropped up a few cystic pimples that are giving me flashbacks... However, I know this is all part of the process and if I've been through it once before, I can go through it again. Besides, I've been hibernating at home so I'm not too devastated by this. I will continue to update this as I use it, but so far I've noticed that my skin has felt a lot smoother and my pores do seem to be getting a bit tinier. So far, so good!

After reading tons of hype on blogs and everywhere else, I bought a Mia. I got the light pink one and I use it in the morning and evening. When I first used it I felt the vibrations and thought "that's it?" But it's much more effective than you initially think. It tickled like mad when I first used it around my nose, but I've gotten used to it. I've been using it for 2 weeks now and I've noticed a drastic improvement in my skin. My skin is oily and tends to get very congested even though I exfoliate regularly and use deep cleaning masks, but this is the only thing that has cleaned my pores so deeply they appear smaller (I use the deep pore brush). I have a "glow" now, and the tiny little bumps on my forehead are nearly all gone. The light acne scars on my cheeks are fading, the congestion in my cheeks and around my nose is gone, and my skin is smooth and evenly toned.
I use PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash 10% with the Mia and the combination is proving to be the HG for me. DEFINITELY worth the price!

I have had this for almost a year actually. I got a good deal from an online shop with 20% off so I picked it up. When I first got it I used it day and night and it dried out my skin. After that I found myself barely reaching for it, feeling to "lazy" to even pick it up once a week or so. Over the summer I decided to give it another go or give it away and started using it at night after I remove my make up. It cleanses very well and it deep cleans my pores, which I like. I don't find that it enables me to skip other things such as an exfoliator or make up remover (I use an oil to cleanse my make up off first otherwise the brush gets really glunky). It doesn't save me time either. It doesn't dry me out at all now that I only use it once per day. However I don't at all think this is a necessity for me. I like it and I would probably repurchase again.

I've used the Mia daily for over 6 months now and I love it. My skin is normal to oily in summer and is not sensitive. I can't say if my skin has dramatically improved because of the Mia (for me the change has to be REALLY noticeable) since I started using various new products around the same time as I got my Mia. I do think my skin is better though I still get slight bumps along the forehead. I use it only at night to take off my makeup and I can say the Mia takes off all my makeup perfectly without using a makeup remover first. In that way, it saves me so much time at night, so now even when I feel lazy, I never go to bed without removing my makeup. The Mia helped me get into a good habit of always cleansing my face. If I'm really tired, all I do is use the Mia, no moisturiser after - done in one minute! And it seems to work with just about any cleanser - gel, Cetaphil, cream, oil - I've tried them all.

This is a great tool for removing makeup, and that's pretty much all I use it for. It leaves my skin feeling so clean and allows my moisturizer to work better after using. In regards to it clearing breakouts and brightening the skin, I haven't really noticed a difference in that. However, it has changed the texture of my skin for the better as it used to feel very lumpy but now it feels a lot smoother. I use it 3 or 4 times a week - any more and my skin gets irritated and starts flaking (I use the sensitive brush head). Very expensive but a worthwhile purchase if you want to make sure your makeup is properly removed.
i love this. i use it daily. it exfoliates and deep cleans. i use it at night because it makes skin temporarily red. i have had such horrible problems with acne and enlarged pores, but this solved it! it really got deep into my pores. i also use it on my lips for 30 sec to plump them up a little ;) its just a great product that i think everyone should own. there cant possibly be any complaints. nothing compares to this. i recommend it to everyone!
Don't even know where to start with how great this thing is! Wish I had purchased this years ago! Have been using this for several weeks now and my skin has never looked better. It absorbs moisturizers so much better I can't believe it. I feel like I have perfect skin now. Have been using this with my Purpose cleanser and Walgreen's Alpha Hydrox 8% cream. Love them all. The first few times the Clarisonic may have irritated my skin a bit but no problems since. If you are on the fence about purchasing this, just do it!
I love my clarisonic mia so much that I wanted to write a review on it after my first use. This is definitely an investment item, but I don't regret buying it at all. I've had clogged pores for over a year (I didnt do much about the clogged pores, simply b/c I was pregnant and didn't wanna use any chemicals on my skin at that time), after using the clarisonic mia for a month, my pores are now unclogged and my skin never felt so soft. For $149 USD, it really is a very expensive item, but it saves me alot of money in the long run. I no longer need to buy an exfoliator. I no longer need to buy a cleansing product especially for makeup removal (it does a great job in removing makeup too). And I no longer need to buy a toner. I no longer need to use blotting papers and I can now use less powder for setting makeup (there's definitely less oil secretion after using the clarisonic). I no longer use liquid foundation in my makeup routine (because the clarisonic really clears my skin) One other great thing is that my skin care products absorb so much better. I have oily skin, I can now use heavy creams (even in the humid summer temperature) and my skin won't feel greasy.
A fully charged clarisonic lasted me two whole weeks. I use it every night and morning when i have extra time (saturdays and sundays only).
Ladies out there hesitating to buy the clarisonic? Give Mia a try.

BROWN B. how much sparring did you do a week?
I saw kessler in one of interview saying that he doesnt do much sparring(once every 14 days)
I believe you should spar every session. Or nearly every session. I don't mean heavy sparring I mean conditioned sparring- drilled or working on specific things.
In the run up to a fight I would spar a lot, as a youngster I was only a super feather and I hated sparring. Everyone was bigger then me and I'd avoid sparring as often as possible but I didn't realise it was just hurting me. I wasn't testing myself and my self belief was too fragile.
In the run up to each of my five comeback fights I was sparring current British super middle champ kenny Anderson. He's a top fighter and has about two stone on me. He's also a banger 18-1 (13kos) so even though he wasn't trying to take my head off he would really make me dig deep.
I knew whatever I experienced in the ring wouldn't be as hard as that. I'd also spar others heavily I actually knocked out a few current pros in sparring but this heavy sparring can't be done regular or you'd be a zombie.
So too answer heavy sparring maybe once a week when your very fit, conditioned sparring as often as possible.

The One Where 'The Call,' 'The Rambler' and 'Upside Down' Are the Worst of the Week
Features By Rob Hunter on June 25, 2013 | Comments (2)Welcome back to This Week In Discs! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Hansel & Gretel Get Baked Gretel (Molly Quinn) and her boyfriend have a case of the munchies and decide to bake some treats, but knowing they'll have to wait for the goodies to be done they decide he should head out for more weed. He decides to seek out the city's newest strain, "Black Forest," and goes straight to the source… a little old lady (Lara Flynn Boyle) with a green thumb and witchy tendencies. When he disappears it's up to Gretel and her brother Hansel to get to the bottom of this nasty little fairy tale. Low expectations can never really hurt a movie (unless they cause you not to see it in the first place), but they still can't be solely credited with my enjoyment of this horror comedy. Some of the jokes are predictably bad (cops at a donut shop!) but several more land successfully and earn real laughs. Even better, there's actually some truly fun gore effects to be found here too. Bottom line, this isn't destined to become your new favorite, but you'd be hard pressed to find a more entertaining Hansel & Gretel movie this year. Take that, Hawkeye. [Blu-ray extras: None]
Alex Karpovsky Is Confused By Emoticons (Again) in Exclusive Clip from 'Supporting Characters'
Exclusive By Kate Erbland on January 23, 2013 | Be the First To CommentFor fans of Girls, Alex Karpovsky's confusion over text messages, emoticons, and just what the hell they mean when sent in the context of a romantic relationship was a source of great hilarity during the show's second season premiere, as Karpovsky's Ray demanded to know what a wrapped gift, a panda, and a gun meant when sent to him by a lady he has bedded. Yet, it turns out that was not quite the first time that The Karp (go with it) was confused by text messaging. In Daniel Schechter's Supporting Characters, Karpovsky plays one half of an editing team tasked with cleaning up a terrible film by a moronic director – but that's the least of their worries, as both guys (Karpovsky's co-star is played by co-writer Tarik Lowe, who is just smashing in the film) are also struggling with romantic issues. Karpovsky's Nick is engaged, but drawn to said terrible film's star, played by Arielle Kebbel, even though she's just getting out of a stupid relationship, one marked by all sorts of "winky face emoticons." I saw the film at last year's Tribeca Film Festival, and enjoyed it quite a bit, writing that "the film is at its best when it's not trying to expand on things too far, and its finest moments are little ones – a look that crosses over Nick's face when he meets Jamie's boyfriend, an offhand comment about lighting by an angry director of photography, a wordless shot that conveys the state of Nick and Amy's relationship after a particularly […]
