More On Legal & Compliance
from The Advisor's Professional Library- Scope of the Fiduciary Duty Owed by Investment Advisors A fiduciary obligation goes beyond the suitability standard typically owed by registered representatives of broker-dealer firms to clients. The relationship is built on the premise that the advisor will always do the right thing for the person or entity receiving advice.
- Disaster Recovery Plans and Succession Planning RIAs owe a fiduciary duty to clients to prepare for disasters and other contingencies. If an RIA does not have a disaster recovery plan, clients financial well-being may be jeopardized. RIAs should also engage in succession planning, ensuring a smooth transaction if an owner or principal leaves.
Advisors are honing their social-media savvy, with nearly 83% of firms adopting formal social media policies this year—up from 64% in 2011 and nearly double the 43% of advisors who had such policies in 2010, according to a recently released compliance survey by the Investment Adviser Association, ACA Compliance Group and Old Mutual Asset Management.
The online survey of 462 registered investment advisors, performed from April 18 to May 17, also found that fewer firms (49%) are prohibiting the use of social media sites for business purposes, down from 54% in 2012. Forty-three percent reported that their social media testing has increased in the past year.
Since last year's survey, compliance testing has increased the most in the areas of advertising and marketing, personal trading, disaster recovery planning and political contributions/pay to play, with 79% of firms indicating that they have not decreased compliance testing in any area, the survey found.
As to the chief compliance officer role, 99% of firms reported that they do not outsource the CCO role, while 63% said their CCO is wearing two or more hats. Thirty-two percent of the firms polled reported having only one person in a full-time legal/compliance role, while 68% of firms reported that their CCO is a senior executive in the firm.
Read about other compliance issues that will affect advisors soon in Melanie Waddell's accompanying article, "Compliance Matters."

The state of Florida appears to be rotting due to NCAA allegations and infractions.
With little time to catch our breath after the Miami fiasco, ESPN.com has released a report stating the NCAA should be slipping an official notice of inquiry into the mail any minute now. That envelope will find its way to the campus of Central Florida once the United States Postal Service is through with it.
UPDATE: Here's a PDF of the letter.
The men's basketball program and the football program are embroiled in potential recruiting violations. This information isn't new -- the NCAA's action toward it is. The latest from ESPN.com's Mike Fish and Pat Forde.
In addition, NCAA investigators have already begun interviewing people connected to potential violations. Sources also said that they expect the investigation will lead to the NCAA bringing formal charges against the Conference USA member.
Allegations are believed to center around Ken Caldwell, a 42-year-old Chicago native and former AAU basketball coach, who has been tied to Central Florida's recruitment of several basketball players and at least one football player. Caldwell's son, Rodney, attended Central Florida through last spring and among the alleged violations is that recruits stayed at his apartment during visits to the Orlando school.
Caldwell could not be reached for comment, though in the past he's adamantly denied he has broken any NCAA rules. His son declined comment.
Ken Caldwell has not looked good whatsoever from the start of this. He's the reason why Central Florida's in trouble. At first he was defiant, then he learned how to get tight-lipped in a hurry. Central Florida has been looking into its program and possible violations since late April. Did Caldwell help steer players from the Chicago area, getting them to suit up for Central Florida? That's what plenty are left to interpret right now.
But even if Caldwell won't talk, ESPN.com's story states that Brandon Bender, a former Louisville player in the early aughts, did speak with the NCAA last week. Bender was a right-hand man for Caldwell. Since Caldwell isn't employed by an NCAA institution, he's not mandated to speak with the NCAA.
This case has a long way to go, but the first official offensive from the NCAA looks ready to drop any day now.

Another Blast from the Past - Qatar comes to Northern Mali too...
From the Moor Next Door...
Suspicions that Ansar Ed-Dine has been receiving funding from Qatar has circulated in Mali for several months. Reports (as yet unconfirmed) that a 'Qatari' aircraft landed at Gao, full of weapons, money and drugs, for example, emerged near the beginning of the conflict. The original report cites a French military intelligence report as indicating that Qatar has provided financial support to all three of the main armed groups in northern Mali: Iyad Ag Ghali's Ansar Ed-Dine, al-Qa'ida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and the Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa (MUJWA). . .
On 02 July 2012, al-Arab published an article ('Monitoring $5 million in relief programs: A Field Office of the Qatari Red Crescent in northern Mali') describing the work of the four Qatari Red Crescent workers whose activities in Gao have been fuel for a number of rumours about Qatar's supposed role in Mali, which has been a favourite subject of the Algerian and French press over the last few months.
Al-Arab's article lays out the men's activities during the June confrontations in Gao. The men arrived in May.

What's the best strategy for buying new laptops and selling old ones? I usually buy a new computer once every five years or so and then sell my old one.

Does anybody know if there will be any TV broadcast of the game in Europe? hawk 03-26-2006, 12:46 PM Hello everybody, First time posting in this forum. :wavey: Good luck to Marcos for tonight! Does anybody know if there will be any TV broadcast of the game in Europe? ok lets see. Eurosport shows only WTA. Supersport 4 GR starts the ATP broadcasting on Monday. Cyprus Tv shows nothing as always. :mad: thats my research till now. i want so much to see this game. Choupi 03-26-2006, 02:22 PM Hi Hawk and welcome along. :) Well, here in France, we have a chanel called Sport+ that shows ATP during Masters Series, while Eurosport shows WTA. But I don't know if you can get it where you are. Coverage is pretty poor at the moment, because they have other priorities over the weekend. 2 hours a day is really short....so I don't know if I'm gonna get a chance to see Marcos. Anyway, good luck to him. :) Iza 03-26-2006, 02:40 PM Pameeeee :banana: Please win :woohoo: !!!!! athina7 03-26-2006, 08:57 PM Marcos lost 6-2 2-6 5-7. He was up a set and a break, then up a break in the third. And 3 DFs in the last game of the match? :( Davydenko is a great player, but the way he lost is very disappointing. What the hell happened? hawk 03-26-2006, 09:51 PM Just saw the match on Supersport 2 South Africa. The way he lost is indeed very disappointing. He made 3 DF,s in the last game but the second DF was wrong referee decision. Anyway, Davydenko was very strong from the baseline driving powerful FHs and BHs making Marcos running a lot. But in my opinion the 3rd game was lost due to 27 unforced errors and very bad 2nd serve. There is something missing from Australian Marcos comparing to US Marcos and thats make the difference. 16681 03-27-2006, 12:44 AM Well it doesn't sound like Marcos had a good Match, but still Marcos is ranked #26 in the World and he was playing a guy ranked #5 in the World. So I don't think we should feel too bad about the loss. Marcos hasn't been on the Pro Tour very long. He is just getting started so there will be many more Tournaments for him to play ;) LostGlory 03-27-2006, 10:29 AM well he was winning and started the 2nd set awfully well, then he lost his concentration....it was very close at the end....I hope he does better soon.... PamposCypriot 03-27-2006, 04:20 PM Do you think he can improve his first serve in the future? Its his weakest link in his play. I mean it must be psychological the problem... :) Against Bogomolov he had 87%!!! first serve in the first set and in second set 38%. Against Davydenko he had 50%!!! hawk 03-27-2006, 08:50 PM Yes marcos shall be more consistent on his serve. That would give him great advantage since he is a hard serve player. But I would like to see marcos playing more aggressively from the baseline. He has the power to do that. Improvements on the above issues in combination with his outstanding ability to drive cross-court and down the line shots would advance noticeably his overall performance. |

The Book Show, presented by Sinead Gleeson, is where we get to know a bit more about the books you love and talk about what you could be reading over the next few months.
Writers and publishers will talk stories, books and the world of writing and we'll have readings, reports and regular items. The Book Show will bring you the best in international and Irish authors, with weekly discussions, interviews, features and literary trivia.
If there's anything you'd like to hear covered on the show or have any comments to make, why not get in touch email@example.com and you'll find us on twitter @bookshowrte and on Facebook.
Sinead Gleeson Photo credit: Annie Atkins
This week on The Book Show, we explore books and translation.
We begin at the Centre for Literary Translation which this year celebrates its 21st anniversary. Sinéad Gleeson visits their headquarters in Trinity College Dublin and meets Turkish translator Fuat Semivay, novelist Catherine Dunne, Antain MacLochlainn who has translated the Asterix books into Irish and Sinéad MacAodha from the Ireland Literature Exchange.
They discuss the popularity of Irish fiction in translation around the world, the relationship between writers and translators and they hear how James Joyce's Finnegans Wake sounds in Turkish.
Rabih Alameddine's novel An Unnecessary Woman tells the story of Aaliya Saleh a woman in her 70's, living in Beirut and entirely surrounded by books. She has translated dozens of books into Arabic but has never shown her work to anyone. Rabih Alameddine joins us to discuss his book and Aaliya's intriguing character. He also talks about the novel as a 'book about books' or a love letter to literature.
Another lover of literature is the UK writer Ann Morgan. She ran a blog in 2012 called A Year of Reading the World. Her challenge was to read one book (translated into English) from every country in the world over the year. She clocked up 197 titles. In her book, Reading the World: Confessions of a Literary Explorer, Ann reflects on the year. She explains how people from all over the world began buying books for her to read. She tells us of some memorable reads that she discovered in the year and what she has gained from her experience.

(Buda Mendes/Getty Images)KANSAS CITY, Kan. – One after the other, the CONCACAF and Asian nations that filled Pot 3 emerged.First, Mexico was paired with host Brazil in Group A and gasps (along with a little laughter) filled the crowded Members Club here at Sporting Park. Australia came next and was sent to face world champion Spain. Bullet dodged.Moments later, Honduras hit the lottery – Switzerland and Ecuador – and at that point, the U.S. national team's World Cup fate came into focus. There had been weeks of speculation that the Americans might face a "Group of Death" at Friday's draw, and now an almost perfect one was taking shape. Beckoning were second-ranked Germany -- the high-powered home of U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann -- and Ghana, the Yanks' arch-nemesis."Yeah, it looked like the stars were just going to align that way," defender Brad Evans said shortly after the U.S. was slotted, seemingly inevitably, into Group G. "It was kind of cool to see that and think back to all those teams and the results you've had against those teams. And obviously Jurgen coaching the [German] national team [in 2006]."WAHL Video: U.S. draws toughest group ever for 2014 World CupSaid U.S. defender Omar Gonzalez, "Once Germany and Ghana got paired together, I figured this is probably going to be us. Fate is going to align, and it's all going to happen."When asked if drawing Ghana seemed like destiny, Clint Dempsey said, "It seems like that's been the case. The past two World Cups [in which Ghana defeated and eliminated the U.S.], maybe it's an opportunity to get them back for that."Throw in Portugal, which will be fueled by the world's most marketable (and arguably its best) player, Cristiano Ronaldo, and the desire to exact revenge on the U.S. for a stunning World Cup loss in 2002, and the Americans got a group that's just about as difficult and dramatic as possible.WILSON: Scouting Group G: A look at the USA's World Cup oppositionThe U.S. players who gathered to watch the draw at Sporting Park, where Sporting Kansas City will host Real Salt Lake in Saturday's MLS Cup final, met the media and put on brave faces. They acknowledged the difficult road ahead. But with adversity comes historic opportunity. The Americans might have had an easier time escaping several other quartets, but they'll be legends if they finish first or second in Group G."It would be a huge statement and a huge step forward for soccer in this country," Dempsey said. "That's what the World Cup's about. It's about playing the best teams. We've got a good group as far as that's concerned and I think we have the quality that if we play our best ball we can get out of our group."Kyle Beckerman said, "It's not a bad spot to be the underdog, going in when nobody really believes you can get out of the group and have that 'Us against the world' type of mentality."The RSL captain immediately recognized that the spotlight had just intensified."There's gonna be so many story lines that you guys can write about, and we'll be able to go and play it and hopefully rock the boat and see if we can do something special. It's great," Beckerman said. "We think this is going to be the most watched, most talked about World Cup ever. Doing something special in this World Cup would be great."WAHL: Tough Road Ahead: Three Thoughts on the World Cup drawThe pursuit of something special is what inspired Klinsmann's hiring back in the summer of 2011. The U.S. had competed in six consecutive World Cup tournaments but had managed to win only four of its 22 matches. From the moment he took the job, the 1990 World Cup champion said his plan was to fashion a squad that could stand toe-to-toe with the sport's entrenched powers. The goal: a U.S. national team with the confidence, composure, depth and fitness to beat the world at its own game."It's really simple. This is why the United States hired Jurgen Klinsmann," former U.S. forward and current ESPN analyst Taylor Twellman said Friday. "Because the Bob Bradleys, the Bruce Arenas of the world, yeah, they did great. They got us here. But there was a change that needed to be made. They made that change for this sole reason. Some of us might say we have to go to the quarterfinals [to have a successful World Cup] but now that changes. This is the Group of Death. If Jurgen Klinsmann gets out of the Group of Death, that's one hell of an accomplishment."The players insisted they were ready."They've done a fantastic job of preparing us for just this," Sporting's Graham Zusi said. "We've played against some of the top teams in the world -- the Belgiums, Germanys, Italys -- the past couple of years. Playing those types of games is going to prepare us well for these games."Said his SKC teammate, Matt Besler, a U.S. defender, "Our approach for the past 12 months, at least, has been to focus on our game and I think we've proven that we can play anybody and we can beat anybody. I think that's why we scheduled so many hard friendlies. We've gained a lot of experience over the past 12 months and we've gained a lot of confidence."Evans even argued that the depth of Group Gauntlet might work in the Americans' favor."I actually think it's better that it's all tough teams," the Seattle Sounders veteran said. "There's no easy points to be had and I think that'll be valuable come the third game. If teams keep knocking off points off each other it's one of those groups where anything can happen. For us, we've got goals to advance and that will remain no matter what the group is."CREDITOR: USA's 2014 World Cup group overflowing with historyThe U.S. will play Germany in its first-round finale June 26 in Recife. By then, especially if Klinsmann's former team already has secured advancement, the underdog Americans might be in decent shape."Sometimes there's too much pressure on you. You're expected to win the World Cup. You're expected to do well, and anything less would be devastating. It's really a lot of pressure for those players to try to deal with," Dempsey said of the men suiting up for the favorites. "For us, as it goes on, more of America gets behind [soccer] and it's becoming more popular in the States and it continues growing. Yeah, you have a responsibility to be part of that continuing growth in the game, but everyone puts pressure on themselves just to do well because you don't know how many World Cups you're going to play in."Now a World Cup regular with a growing domestic league, the U.S. has surpassed the point where qualification is sufficient. Group stage elimination, in most cases, would be considered a failure. While a first-round exit would be a disappointment next summer, ESPN's Kasey Keller – who manned the U.S. nets at the 1998 and 2006 World Cups – said the "definition of success" might have changed Friday."In the end it's a results-driven business and if you don't get out of the first round it's a failure. But then you look at that group and it's far more difficult," he said. "Now you're saying that to get to the quarterfinal, you're going to have to face four very good opponents as opposed to saying 'Here's a team we can beat. We can get a draw here.' The question you have to ask is, 'Have we advanced that far as a soccer country that we can play other teams above us in rank – or right around us – and consistently get those results in a row?' We'll find out. It's tough."The U.S. knows it, and the 2014 World Cup might be shorter than Klinsmann and Co. would like. Instead of four or five games, there may be only three. But what a three those will be. Matchups like the ones drawn on Friday are, as several players and pundits said, what the World Cup is all about. "We all want to advance as far as we can," Twellman said. "But the elite player now looks at the Group of Death, you get out of that group, that is an unbelievable accomplishment. That's why this one's unique." Promoted Stories Comments

Lying is in the news these days.
WASHINGTON -- Denizens of social media were rankled during Sunday night's Academy Awards telecast when actor Sean Penn made a crack about Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and green cards.
One of my weekly duties here at the Chronicle-Independent is to visit the Walter M. Crower Animal Shelter in Camden and take photos of pets available for adoption to be printed in our Friday edition each week. Actually, I take photos of two cats and two dogs and half of those are published weekly in the West Wateree Chronicle.
Murder is a strong word and truth be known it's not really what happens (unfortunately) when a crape myrtle, a Southern signature tree is topped, but it has become a familiar vernacular amongst plant people. If crape myrtles did in fact die when they were butchered, then the practice would stop.
Republicans seem ceaselessly enamored of litmus tests, but the newest one -- Do you believe President Obama loves America? -- makes birthers seem witty.
"Seriously, moron? How about just clean up the place already!"
On Feb. 5, around 1:15 p.m., students at the University of South Carolina (USC) received a text message warning "SHOTS FIRED" -- two words which would send chills and panic through the large campus that is home to nearly 32,000 students.
During those times when it gets positively frigid here in Kershaw County -- say, 9 degrees when I woke up Friday morning -- I often tell people, "This isn't why I moved down South."
One of my friends called the other. One of my best friends. There was both urgency and distress in her voice.
I'm reading that two boxers – Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao – have agreed to whomp on each other for $250 million.
WASHINGTON -- Channel-surfing the nightly cable news, one is reminded that certitude is the enemy of sanity.
It seems one of my favorite topics to write this column about each week is the news media. It's only natural I have a keen interest in the news; it is my chosen profession, after all.
We are working on a Boykin Spaniel exhibit at the Camden Archives and Museum. Our curator of collections, Rickie Good, is an avowed dog lover whose household is home to four big dogs. She is absolutely in heaven working on this exhibit. With thousands of photographs of Boykin Spaniels on disk at her desk, she declares each one she opens is the cutest. Choosing the puppies to be featured in the exhibit has been a joyful and overwhelming task for her. Listening to her talk to her computer companions has made me remember all of the canine buddies who have ...
Remember the old story about the farmer and his pig with the wooden leg?
Feb. 13, 2015 -- Let's begin with the obvious: South Carolina State is a mess. No, it's way beyond a mess; it is on life support and its very existence is in grave danger.
One of the many perks of living in the Midlands of South Carolina is our moderate climate. OK, maybe it hasn't felt so moderate the past few weeks, but think about New York, Boston, Minnesota, Michigan and other northern areas. Now, they know what cold really is!
If the soul of Camden resides in its communities of faith, surely its heart sits at 110 C East DeKalb St., the home of the Community Medical Clinic of Kershaw County, known far and wide as "The Free Clinic." The outpouring of love at the Clinic has proven to be a transformative force, continuously healing wounds of body, mind, and spirit.
Two weeks ago, during our weekly field trip, I was walking with my students along a dirt road in Manchester State Forest. There upon the dirt was a hairy strand of something, about the size of a cheap cigar and tapered at both ends. Earlier that day, we examined paw prints in the sand on the same dirt road. The students drew good connections from those tracks to this new observation, correctly calling it coyote scat. Coyotes are funny this way, dropping their scat in obvious places. In addition to waste excretion, they use feces to communicate their presence to ...
WASHINGTON -- "At least nobody died," we often hear in politics to explain away some regrettable act. As in:
So I read recently where some New England town has banned sledding, allegedly in the name of safety, but more in fear of possible lawsuits.
WASHINGTON -- I'm getting that deja vu feeling as House Republicans these past several days have failed to alter the public's perception they're incapable of governing.
For those of you who believe in an open internet in the United States, the fight is still on. For the moment, though, we can bask in the glory of the U.S. Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) 3-2 vote last week to impose so-called "net neutrality" rules on internet service providers (ISPs).
A friend, an only child, was talking about cleaning out her parents' house after the death of her father.
Throughout Old and New Testament times, most Jews and Gentiles consumed distilled liquor and believed it a healthy part of their daily diet. These beliefs and practices continued from the times of Christ through the settlement of America and the establishment of the United States.

There Will Never Be a 'Back to the Future' Sequel or Reboot
It's almost surprising at this point that there has not been a 'Back to the Future' reboot or sequel. When you look back at the popular and successful properties of the 80s, there are few that haven't been modernized. Sony is practically falling all over themselves to get a new 'Ghostbusters' in theaters. This year alone saw new 'RoboCop,' 'Muppets,' 'Ninja Turtles,' 'Jump Street' and 'Transformers' movies. But, despite the frequency of these remakes, it doesn't look like you'll ever see a new 'Back to the Future' movie. And, that's a pretty great thing.
Robert Downey, Jr. Agrees to Star in 'Iron Man 4′ (On One Condition…)
First, the good news: Robert Downey, Jr. has agreed to star in 'Iron Man 4' for Marvel! Considering everything he has been saying over the past year or so - essentially that he can't imagine an 'Iron Man 4' ever happening - that's a major step in the right direction and a huge win for Marvel Studios. But...Downey's agreement has come with one rather large condition. That his old friend, and current member of the Hollywood blacklist, Mel Gibson be allowed to direct.
Adam Sandler Signs Deal to Star in Four Original Netflix Movies
Hot off the heels of their partnership with The Weinstein Co. to release their first original feature film ('Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2'), Netflix has announced yet another deal that will bring original movies to their subscription service. The company has just announced a deal with Adam Sandler for the exclusive rights to four upcoming movies that the comedian will star in and produce.
'Tetris' Movie in the Works, Will Be a "Very Big, Epic Sci-Fi" Film

'Star Wars' Spinoff to Follow Obi-Wan Kenobi?
So far, we have heard rumors that two of the three planned 'Star Wars' spinoffs were to follow Boba Fett and Han Solo. Then there was the mysterious third spinoff, which we haven't much concrete information on. Until now. A recent report suggests that despite earlier reports that the spinoffs wouldn't follow any Jedi or Sith characters, Lucasfilm is currently working with artists and a writer to develop an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie.
Megan Fox to 'Ninja Turtles' Haters: "F— Off"
The internet has not been kind to the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' reboot. This shouldn't be surprising to you, because a) you are on the internet, and b) you have seen the footage from the 'Ninja Turtles' reboot. (True story: during a recent 'Guardians of the Galaxy' screening in New York City, the crowd loudly booed the 'Ninja Turtles' trailer.) But, star Megan Fox has a word for all of those haters. Two words, actually.
Quentin Tarantino Wants to Make a 4-Hour 'Django Unchained' Miniseries
While we're still not sure what Quentin Tarantino's next film will be, the director was at the Cannes Film Festival and revealed he's looking to revisit one of his previous films. The director told an audience at a press conference celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Cannes premiere of 'Pulp Fiction' that he's got about 90 minutes of unseen footage from 'Django Unchained' that he would like to adapt into a 4-hour/4-part cable miniseries.

How do you motivate your team when you're embarking on one of the biggest and riskiest cinematic ventures in recent history? Well, as filming began on Friday, J.J. Abrams wrote a note to inspire everyone working on the film (and, it might just get 'Star Wars' fans excited too).
'Star Wars: Episode 7′ Announces Cast, Original Stars Confirmed to Return
'Star Wars: Episode 7' has finally announced its cast after a long process that has spanned months of speculation and rumors. The stars of the original trilogy - Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker - have finally been confirmed, and they'll be joined by newcomers to the franchise Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, Max von Sydow, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Andy Serkis and Domhnall Gleeson.
Original 'Star Wars' Cast All Spotted in London as 'Episode 7′ is Set to Begin Filming
Listen, we all know 'Star Wars: Episode 7' will bring back Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford. It has yet to be confirmed by Lucasfilm or Disney, but it's perhaps the worst-kept secret in Hollywood. But, if you need some additional confirmation ahead of the official 'Star Wars: Episode 7' cast announcement (rumored to be taking place on May 4), we do have word that all three of the original cast members were spotted in London this weekend as filming is set to begin.

After searching through many recipe books, magazine clippings and of course the internet, I came up with the recipe to try from a most trusted source Martha Stewart. Her recipe seemed to be the least complicated as it didn't required making a simple sugar or aging egg whites.
I bought ready ground almond meal, but you can grind your own almond meal. This in itself requires a bit of skill as you want the almonds ground to the right consistency. Too much grinding and you have almond butter, too little and you have lumpy macarons. One important step is to sift the almond meal through a sieve to remove any large pieces. Also sift the powdered sugar.
I like to have all my ingredients measured and ready to go before starting. In the past I have been know to turn the kitchen into a complete disaster when baking. So now I get all my ingredients ready, baking sheets lined with parchment paper, clean up the countertops, have the dishwasher empty and the sink full of soapy water. It is amazing how stress free baking can be by having everything ready to go and a clean kitchen. With my favorite tunes playing on the Bose sound system I'm ready to start making these finicky little cookies.
- 71 grams almond meal (2/3 cup)
- 117 grams confectioners' sugar (1 cup)
- 53 grams granulated sugar (1/4 cup)
- 2 large egg whites at room temperature
- Baileys Buttercream filling
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Sift together almond meal and confectioners' sugar (remove any large pieces of almond meal)
- Using mixer whisk together egg whites and granulated sugar on low speed for 1 minute to combine.
- Increase speed to high and beat until egg whites form stiff, glossy peaks.
- Add dry ingredients all at once. Gently fold together with a spatula until combined, about 40 strokes and batter flows like lava.
- Fill batter into piping bag fitted with round tip.
- On parchment lined baking sheet pipe batter into 3/4 inch rounds about 1 inch apart.
- Tap baking sheet firmly on top of counter 3-4 times to release air bubbles.
- Let macarons sit out for 20-30 minutes until tops harden slightly.
- Bake 350 for about 12 minutes.
- Cool completely, then fill with Baileys Irish Cream buttercream frosting.
- Store in airtight container and refrigerate.
- 1/2 cup soft butter
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 3-4 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream

Fiber cement siding removal procedures to minimize dust & to permit possible salvage & re-use of the material. This article describes why owners decided to remove fiber cement siding from their home and to replace it with James Hardie's HardiePlank fiber cement product. The article details just how the old fiber cement siding was removed with minimum damage. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Fiber Cement Siding Removal ProceduresWhy remove building fiber cement siding?Generally we do not recommend removing building siding in good condition, even if there are cosmetic issues that need to be addressed. But if building siding is extensively damaged, or so badly installed that building wall leaks are widespread and damaging the building, one might consider removing and replacing all or more limited sections of the wall siding on the building. At SIDING, FIBER CEMENT GAPS When owners asked for advice from several building inspectors, industry consultants, and siding contractors, they learned that the product they thought they were buying, HardiePlank fiber cement siding, was not what their original contractor installed. Watch out: this article describes the removal of fiber cement lap siding - horizontal "boards" such as shown in our photos. These procedures are not suitable for the removal of fiber cement shingles nor asbestos cement shingles. If you are working with those siding shingle materials and need to remove shingles for repair, Why remove limited sections of fiber cement sidingBut even if there is no sound reason for removal of all fiber cement siding from a building, it may be necessary to remove sections of damaged FC siding such as the impact-damaged siding shown in our photograph at left. Note that that damaged FC siding was at a different property from the "counterfeit" bad siding job installation discussed here and illustrated just above. The siding damage you see in this photo was caused by a vehicle or by an impact. Mechanical damage to fiber cement siding is described in more detail at SIDING, FIBER CEMENT DEFECTS. Visible & Hidden Trouble Points in & Behind the Original FC Siding InstallationFurther close-up inspection by the repair contractor, Galow Homes, as well as by the author (DJF) found numerous other siding installation SNAFUS including:
And more FC siding installation snafus were discovered as we began pulling the old material off of the building, including
Photos of these SNAFUs are at SIDING, FIBER CEMENT DEFECTS. It seemed likely that had the home been more than just ten years old, more extensive rot, insect damage, wall cavity mold contamination, and lost insulation values would all have accured. The owners ultimately decided to remove the siding, thinking that either the material would be salvaged and re-installed correctly, or the "counterfeit" fiber cement siding woudl be replaced entirely with new product. The contractor at the job we investigated considered the remove and salvage approach, though there would be some lost material due to damage during removal. A second consideration during fiber cement siding material removal was the wish to avoid exposure to high levels of silica dust. Note the silica dust warning in the HardiePlank® product label shown at left. Modern fiber cement products do not contain asbestos but silica dust from these products may be a hazard itself. Asbestos from older asbestos cement shingle siding and roofing products is a widely recognized hazards. For information about that different hazard, see ASBESTOS ROOFING / SIDING DUST. How to Remove Fiber Cement Siding with Minimum Damage & Dust Since the old counterfeit fiber cement siding was going to be removed anyway, the contractor chose to remove it with care, minimizing the damage, to give the owner the option of re-installing the orignial siding without gaps. (The owner later elected to toss the old siding and purchase new Hardieplank fiber cement siding - a step that was not without its own difficulties - Removing and reinstalling building siding, especially over a cosmetic issue, is a very costly approach but makes sense in some installations such as the fiasco of a fiber-cement siding installation job shown at SIDING, FIBER CEMENT GAPS. At above right you can see the material lost on the back-side of the fiber cement siding boards when nails are punched through. Watch out: when carrying any long fibre cement lap siding board, be sure to keep the board in the vertical or "as it would be on the wall" position. If you carry the board on the flat and it's got any length to it you're inviting breakage. After "punching" to set the siding nails in through the fiber cement lap siding board, for boards more than about 6 feet in length, two workers should cooperate to carefully lift the board off of the building surface and carry it or hand it down for flat stacking under cover for protection from the weather. Storing Re-Claimed Fiber Cement Lap SidingThe contractor stored the reclaimed lap siding indoors in the client's garage, stacked flat, and placed on a tarp to avoid picking up moisture from the floor. Any loose debris was swept or HEPA vacuumed to avoid a possible silica dust hazard indoors, and the stack was also covered. If the siding were to be re-used the contractor would have a bit of clean-up to do as well, to remove any caulk left adhered to the siding faces or ends. (Photo below). The contractor would probably not bother to try chipping away at caulk bonded to the siding board ends; rather when the boards are being cut to size for re-use the messy ends will simply be chopped off before the board is cut to the new required length.

NCIS Season 11 Episode 20
Page Not Found
Delilah uncovers some intel about a murdered Navy officer, named Kit Jones. When her boss finds out, she orders Delilah to forget she saw it. Then she wipes her computer to remove the discovered data.
This doesn't sit well with Delilah so she goes to Tony and Gibbs, asking them to move the investigation forward. They agree, and pretty soon the CIA gets involved, confirming that Jones is alive and working on a bigger case for them, undercover, and that the explosion that caused his "death" was a cover-up.
It turns out that Jones was actually not working undercover at all. Instead, he was being held captive by CIA rogue officer JIm Brisco. Brisco tortured Jones for his security codes, in order to access intelligence that he would sell to a dark net site called Phoenician Exchange (PX).
NCIS took Brisco's accomplice into custody and worked out a plea deal by having her wear a wire to a meeting with Brisco. After Jones hits him with a haymaker, Gibbs arrests Brisco.
Meanwhile, Tim and Delilah had a discussion about their relationship. Tim had planned to ask her to move in with him, but her news was at odds with his: she wanted to apply for a senior analyst opening in Dubai. They agree to maintain their relationship by long distance.

Town Square
More thought about later school starts
Original post made by Kathy, Greenmeadow, on Jan 15, 2008
As the parent of two teenagers, I really REALLY wish our district would look at this concern.
Comments (1)
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Jan 16, 2008 at 9:04 am
I went to a boarding/day school (where I was a day pupil) where the school start time was 8.45. The boarders had breakfast at 8.00 a.m. and I left my house at 8.30 usually without breakfast. Everyone, boarders and day pupils still found it hard to roll into the classroom at 8.45 at the last possible minute and tardies were often the same kids. We still moaned that school started too early and the first period of the day was always the hardest to concentrate. I also had a six day school week with classes like art, pe, music, etc. being the Saturday schedule.
I don't like the timing of the schedule now because I think anything earlier than 8.15 is too early because of the dark mornings in winter. But, I don't think that a later start will magically make any difference to our kids' grades, just perhaps add more stress to get sports and other after school activities fitted in to the hours of daylight. As it is, I have one 12 year old doing basketball practice on a school night from 8 - 9 and if school started later, would we then see practices at 9 - 10?

Abstract: In the present paper we study subsolutions of the Dirac and Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau equations in the interacting case. It is shown that the Dirac equation in longitudinal external fields can be split into two covariant subequations (Dirac equations with built-in projection operators). Moreover, it is demonstrated that the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau equations in crossed fields can be split into two 3 x 3 subequations. We show that all the subequations can be obtained via minimal coupling from the same 3 x 3 subequations which are thus a supersymmetric link between fermionic and bosonicdegrees of freedom.

I'm Martha Jo. Welcome.
In 2005, my mom was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, treatable but not cureable. She did a wee bit of treatment and then opted for hospice.
A few days before she died, Mom had otherworldly visitors; her parents, grandparents, favorite aunt and uncle, and her son, my brother Jim.
I'd been doing death and dying work with children and families for 15 years. Even so, this experience was different. It changed me.
Those moments with Mom connecting to her people and me connecting with Mom while she connected with her people, haven't ever left me. I began learning all I could about deathbed experiences, crafting my PhD dissertation research and my new work in the world about them.
There is a trajectory of experience that happens when someone is dying. How I understood this process before and after Mom died are quite different.
I clearly see patterns now in movement, language, behavior of the dying. What some describe as nonsense, I see as communication.
My work in the world is to lessen fear around dying, to teach people what they're seeing when they're with someone who is dying - what to listen and watch for, how to intrepret things that seem unintrepretable. I do this because when you have information, when you have context, you can bypass fear and be more fully present in the moment.
If you're lucky, you will get to be at the bedside of someone you love who will die. I don't mean lucky in the 'wooo hooo how great is this way'. Not all.
Losing someone we love is so very painful. But being with them in the process, walking them out of this world, holding space in those sacred moments? There is nothing like it. Nothing. It can be heart opening in ways nothing else can, the most painful and most profound experience at the same time.
What I want you to know:
It's possible to be sad, hopeful, brought to your knees, bone weary, and full of love at the same time.
There are things you can do and learn, conversations you can have before your beloved is actively dying that will change the experience to a more positive one.
What you believe about death affects how you grieve and live.
Your thoughts cause you pain or bring you peace.
Extraordinary and magical, meaningful and healing non-measurable experiences for the dying and bereaved happen every day all over the world.
Want a better idea of what I'm talking about? Have a look at the video below from the Martha Beck Coaches Conference in March 2012. I've also given a TEDx Talk by the same title with a little bit different content.
I mentor mental health professionals and coaches who are stepping into/deepening identities as death educators/healers.
I create safe places for people to talk about dying, and living after someone has died, and connections beyond what we can see or touch in our human-ness.
I talk about meaningful living with audiences large and small.
This is my life's work.
I invite you to have a look around my website and see what resonates. Read the blog. Watch a video. If you want to stay up to date, sign up for the newsletter and you'll be in the know.
If you get the nudge I can help, I'd be honored.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Ciao for now,
Martha Jo
PS: I'm on Facebook. A lot.
My personal page: https://www.facebook.com/MarthaJoAtkins. Friend me. I love meeting new people.
My public page on Facebook: Dr. Martha Jo Atkins. Info about my new book will be posted here soonish.
My secret group on Facebook is where 460ish kind and generous shiny humans have gathered. Individuals in this group have experienced all kinds of loss. We are curious and engage in all manner of conversations around death, dying, life after death, and living life as empowered humans. I offer Corpompos <Conductors of Courage> classes just for this group on death + dying + spirituality. Let me know if you want to me to add you. https://www.facebook.com/groups/lightafterdeath/
