New and extended regulatory requirements for risk management in reaction to the recent financial crisis – mostly known as Basel III – require swift and professional reactions from banks of all kinds and sizes. Among the various areas of financial risk management, the following issues are key:
How BearingPoint brings value
To implement the increasingly complex regulatory requirements you need to bring together different skills. They range from functional, organizational and methodological knowledge to mathematical and technical expertise. In addition you need to understand the regulatory regime and its application in various countries.
Your business and IT people need to work together to meet the requirements of growing functional complexity, increasing amounts of data and less tolerance for late reports or imprecise results. It is vital to understand the underlying business as well as the individual needs of the different departments in a bank to solve new regulatory requirements efficiently and effectively.
We can help. As one of the leading consultancies in risk management and banking regulation, we combine the required skills which have been developed and proven during many successful client engagements throughout Europe and globally. As the provider of the leading regulatory reporting software ABACUS/DaVinci, we know both the theory and the practice of banking regulation.

If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
Last week one of my colleagues, a respected researcher, watched her project evaporate with the stroke of an accountant's pen. She was devastated. She was angry. She was ready to shoot off a flaming email. But instead she took several days to deliberate about her situation. She then chose to explain to leadership in a calm but forceful way the unfairness of the situation. She knew she was right, but she also recognized that the situation wasn't going to change.
She could have complained and attacked the system, but she understood that the cost would've been too great. She chose instead to close that chapter and to move on with dignity and poise.
My colleague set an admirable example that others would be well advised to follow. She had the wisdom not to react in haste. She took the time to let her feelings subside. Only then, after careful deliberation, did she respond.

Selecting "Submit" signifies that you have read and agree to our posting guidelines.
Sometimes it's helpful to put your feelings in writing, for yourself...either write or put the information in a personal document. Sometimes, the very act of writing gives an outlet for the frustation. It also allows you to go back and examine what the issues were, whether you were part of the problem, whether you can actually do anything about, etc. Then, you can destroy the document and let it go. For some reason the act of writing let's you vent to yourself. The act of destroying the document is part of the letting go. If there is a way to address the problem, as a previous writer wrote, Let someone you trust read it to see if the content is appropriate and accurate before you send it on to anyone.
Reflect and pause, when emotions are heated. This can prevent a future stressful situation. There's no reason to immediately vent. When I question whether my emotions are surfacing in an e-mail I often have a trusted person take a look at it. I often then delay and soften my communication after taking this step. Makes my life more calm.
If we all took the time to let our feelings subside, we can be made amicable with virtually any opposing views. Were is the balance? However, letting our feelings subside where the response would have been an immediate tongue lashing is wise.

My daughter loves this fragrance and I wanted to buy it for her for Christmas but everywhere I looked it was really expensive then I found this website and realised that it was cheaper than anywhere else I had looked. All I can say is thank you so much because if it wasn't for this website I would not have been able to afford this fragrance. Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and I will definitely be purchasing again :)

chronicle of UEFI manipulations on Kubuntu Forums for an example.
Interesting way, but needs 2 systems I would have used another approach, but really interesting what you have done. My board has got an easy accessable eeprom so replacing that was the first choice for me. I wrote several mails to asus support then rma that i will NOT send the board but that i want a chip. Lucky flashrom is possible with that board (it got a few comments on the flashrom site but basically it works fine). As flashrom has got absolutely no check you can flash anything. Therefore i flashed an unmodified rom from the asus webpage to fix my weird nic (with 3 possible different pci ids with the replacement rom). That of course killed the correct mac adress, but as the mac adress is just stored in the first 6 bytes of the used nvram i only needed 6 ethtool commands to write the correct one. I dont know if i would recommend using flashrom on a laptop, but it can be at least handy to create a backup.rom - thats something i did not do before and which i really hate that i missed that as i know have got a weird issue that i dont get a vga bios init for the ivb vga - i got that with a bios updated from 0501 to 0651 to 3203 however. I am currently investing one different approach to reset just the raw data of my old bios dump (which is unbootable), but need to figure out how to combine that correctly... Of course you dont need flashrom to create a backup, you can use the vendors bios tool as well.

No way that I'm installing Win8 on my desktop, because it's not made for it?
It's great for putting it on a tablet and set up shop in a cafe with WiFi, plug in bluetooh keyboard and mouse and switch to Aero. But laptop? No fscking way!
What a horrible review. 2½ pages exclaiming how Windows is supriour to Linux in many aspects from user perspective and how Windows 8 has improved on all techical aspects from 7. Then conclude review by judging the system as a crap wreck. Seriously Michael, get a grip.
BTW, I finally got something useful to boot on that tablet! Behold, Kubuntu Active Two:
If that's not a trainwrecked crapfest, what is?
Not that i laugh, did you try to run a 16 bit installer which have been used that time on w7 64 bit? 16 bit support was completely removed. even dos support was better with xp compared to w7 32 bit. Now you have to use dosbox - well nothing better than on Linux. Also apps written for xp and older often stored things in their program folder. This is not allowed anymore (when you dont run the app as admin) but only virtualized in a transparent way. If you run old apps there are always drawbacks, some do even run better with Wine.

When Wire Feedthroughs Make Sense
- Friday, 21 February 2014
- Douglas Electrical Components
Please Login at the top

Engineers who work with pressure and vacuum chambers usually reach for off-the-shelf sealed bulkhead connectors when they need to pass power and signal wires through the chamber wall. And while these connectors may seem like the best or only way to breach the chamber walls, they can actually drive cost, impose unnecessary mechanical design constraints and trigger electrical problems. So what's the alternative? Wire feedthroughs hermetically sealed with epoxy.

This article provides detailed instructions for configuring a LAMPP server, not only for Joomla! it also should work fine for PHP development in general.
Theses instructions should work fine on any Debian based distribution such as Debian, Ubuntu, LinuxMint, Xubuntu, Kbuntu and others.
NOTE: You need a stable Internet connection for this tutorial
The installation of a LAMPP server on Linux is extremely easy, just follow this instructions:
sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server phpmyadmin libapache2-mod-suphp
It works! This is the default web page for this server. The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.
To test if PHP server is working lets create a quick test file using the command line
echo "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" | sudo tee /var/www/test.php
sudo rm /var/www/test.php
There are several folders and files that the LAMP server uses to store the configurations of the LAMP services and to store the files of your hosted websites
Location: "/var/www/"
Description: by default the Apache server enables a test website and store the website files in that location, so every time you visit the page local host, the browser display the html page located there..
With your file browser navigate to "/var/www/" there should be a file called "index.html", change the content of the file for whatever you want and refresh the web page to see the changes.
Location: "/etc/apache2/sites-available/"
Description: You can host multiples sites in the same server, this folder a configuration file for each site.
Location: "/etc/apache2/apache2.conf" Location: "/etc/apache2/envvars"
Description: This files contains very important information about the Apache service.
Location: "/etc/apache2/ports.conf"
Description: This files configure what port will Apache server listen to for http requests, by default http request are assigned to the port 80 but you can modify or add more ports.
Location: "/var/log/apache2/"
Description: That folder contain several files to keep track of several events on your Apache web server, such as errors in the services, errors in code of your site, failed authentication attempts and more, this is a good place to look at when something is not working file or you suspect some is trying to breach your server security
By default the web server is hosting the files in the location "/var/www" but for security reason and for the sake of avoid ownership problems we are going to use another place to host our web site files
Lets create a new folder to store the web files and the log files of the server
mkdir /home/youruser/lamp/ mkdir /home/youruser/lamp/public_html/ mkdir /home/youruser/lamp/logs/
NOTE: You can place your new site folders on any location you desire, this is just an example, replace "youruser" with your actual Linux username
To store the web site files we are going to use the folder "plublic_html" and for our log files we are going to use the folder "logs"
To create and enable a new site in your server follow this steps:
NOTE: gedit is a common Linux editor but you can use any other alternative you like such as geany, nano, vim, pico, etc...
sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/mydevsite
NOTE: "mydevsite" is the name of the new site used in this example, you can use any other name you like
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/mydevsite

NOTE: Replace "youruser" with your current user name
sudo a2ensite mydevsite
sudo a2dissite default
sudo service apache2 restart
echo "<?php echo 'Hello world, today is is: '.date('Y/m/d'); ?>" | tee /home/youruser/lamp/public_html/today.php
NOTE: Replace "yourname" with your current user name
Hello world, today is is: 2012/05/05
Note: If you have no plans to show your local site to another person over Internet just skip this section.
With the last configuration you should be able to access your page and access it from another computer connected to your LAN, if your computer is connected to Internet and also have assigned a Public IP you can access your site using that IP from any web browser, but for some reason some ISPs does not allow HTTP traffic (HTTP = port 80) over dynamic IPs, to solve this you just need to configure Apache to reply requests from a different port, in this case we are going to use the port number 8080 which is easy to remember.
If you are using a router to connect to Internet you should have to configure a port forwarding setting on your router to let other people see your local site, Google "how to do port forwarding" on your current router model. If you don't now what is the difference between a Static IP, Dynamic IP, Private IP and a Public IP we recommend you to do a Wikipedia reading about these topics.
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/ports.conf
Listen: 8080
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/mydevsite
<VirtualHost *:80 *:8080>
sudo service apache2 restart
Since your computer is now running web services, this services are listening for requests and will reply to anyone who have the correct IP and port, in other words other people in your LAN and Internet can access your local site without your permission or they can even try to crack/hack your workstation. To prevent this you just need to install a firewall and "deny" by default any external incoming requests to your computer.
For Linux users there is a nice and simple firewall called "Uncomplicated Firewall" to install the user interface and manage the firewall from your desktop just follow these steps
sudo apt-get install gufw
Note: you can also install the application from the software center
Note: In this tutorial we are denying any incoming external requests to any port, as a side note you can also Deny all incoming requests and manually allow incoming requests to few specific ports if you wish, but that kind of settings are up to you, since a PC workstation is not a server is ok to deny all incoming traffic by default
By default in some Linux installations the Apache server runs under the user "www-data" which is also in the "www-data" group, this behavior will bring us problems in the future because any file modified or created by the server will have a different ownership, in other words you wouldn't be able to edit some files created or modified by the server unless you manually change the permissions of each file to something like 777 or execute your editor as "super user" which both are really bad ideas.
suPHP is an Apache module used to execute PHP scripts with the permissions of their file owners
This is how the server will work thanks to suPHP
We already have suPHP installed, to Configure it follow this steps:
sudo gedit /etc/suphp/suphp.conf
docroot= /home/youruser/lamp/public_html
NOTE: You can place your new site folders on any location you desire, this is just an example, replace "youruser" with your actual Linux username
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf
<Directory /usr/share>
sudo service apache2 restart
echo "<?php echo 'whoim = '.exec('/usr/bin/whoami');?>" | tee /home/youruser/lamp/public_html/whomi.php
sudo find /home/youruser/lamp/public_html/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; sudo find /home/youruser/lamp/public_html/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; sudo chown youruser:youruser -R /home/youruser/lamp/public_html/
NOTE: You can place your new site folders on any location you desire, this is just an example, replace "youruser" with your actual Linux username
Those commands enforce a secure and correct file and folder permission and also set a correct user and group ownership for all of them
whomi = youruser
That means the script is being executed with your user and not the Apache user unless you specified so
NOTE:This method is highly discouraged, do not implement it in a computer with personal or sensitive information if you are not sure what are you doing, to complement the security install a firewall to block external incoming traffic to your web server, you may also should change some directives on your site configuration to only serve request to the localhost address.
To make Apache execute under your current user and group you got to edit some parameters in the Apache configuration file and make it execute under our current user and group, this will solve our file ownership problems but opens a severe security hole.
To change the user and group of the Apache service, follow these instructions:
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/envvars
export APACHE_RUN_USER=www-data export APACHE_RUN_GROUP=www-data
sudo service apache2 restart
echo "<?php echo 'whoim = '.exec('/usr/bin/whoami');?>" | tee /home/myadmin/lamp/public_html/whomi.php
whomi = youruser
That means the script is being executed with the new user (you)

Was having traction problems in my yard while mowing. My yard has some mild banks and is not very level. Once I added the weights to the wheels the traction greatly improved. Adding the weights was very easy. The wheels on my Craftsman mower came with holes for the mounting shafts. Took me about twenty minutes to install the shafts. Once the shafts are installed the weight mount over the shafts and screw into the shaft. The screw part has a toggle end that makes it easy to screw in and once it is tight the toggle flips over onto the weight. Done deal and ready to use!! Recommend to anyone who is having traction problems. Also lowers the center of gravity and makes it less likely to turn over.

Needed to add weight to lawn tractor for better traction on slopes. I've only had them for about a week but so far they do make a difference. Were fairly easy to install and seem to be on nice and tight. I wish the tire valve stem was not blocked. The air pressure gauge that came with it is a piece of junk, does not work. Threw it in the trash.

These weights solve the problem of bad center of gravity when you have a front-loaded snow blower. You still need chains anyway. Even with weights and chains, you will get stuck in the snow until you get used to driving under various conditions. Installation was pretty easy, even on the ground; but I recommend you use ramps if you have them. Ramps aren't cost-effective unless you do lots of tractor maintenance. Once you get the quick-connect bolts on, the levers work fine and just screw in (two per wheel) to secure the weights. Be careful and observant while operating the tractor to check the quick-connects and tighten them, because you will lose them in the snow. Use protective oil coating after the winter to keep the bolts rust-free. Store the quick-connects with the weights, unless you want to lose them in the grass in the summer.

I went two years without weights on the tires just chains. I figured that since I weighed 275 lbs that I didn?t need any more weight. I was sure wrong, I put on these weights and there?s no comparison to the traction I have now. They are well worth the money and wish I?d done it two years ago.

The weights look GREAT , But you have to remove them to air up the tires and the Cam Locks are USELESS and the weights come loose.. BUT and again Its a BUT if you are at all handy with tools yoy Can deflate and break down the insde of the tire and drill ahole in the rim and INSTALL another Tire Valve . I used the bolt on type that uses the smaller hole for less drilling. ALSO I replace the useless cam bolts with regular bolts and leave the weights in place now that i can add air from the insade of the tire. Be sure you get the correct wights for your wheel size and you will love them

i WOULD HAVE GIVEN THIS A 5 BUT THE FINGERS THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO LOCK ON THE WEIGHT KEEPS COMING OPEN, OF COURSE THE WEIGHTS STILL DON'T FALL OFF

Good instructions. Instillation was easy enough for a novice to do. The weights worked great giving the tractor the extra traction it needed for our steep hill side.

Dungeon Runners
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Dungeon Runners Overview
Dungeon Runners is an innovative, 3D action MMORPG by NcSoft. If you've ever played any of the old-school classic action RPGs, you should feel right at home with Dungeon Runners. The game was designed with humor in mind, and all of the game's dialogue, quests, item descriptions and themes are parodies of MMORPG and RPG cliches. The only other game that has the same type of humor as Dungeon Runners is the browser game Kingdom of Loathing. The game originally launched as an entirely pay-to-play game but has since opened its doors to free players. The game's biggest downside is that a lot of features are only available to paying customers. The game's three playable classes are:
Warrior – Warriors are the traditional 'tank' class in Dungeon Runners. They have the most hit points, armor and defense but lack the offensive capabilities of the other classes in the game. They're proficient at using all melee weapons but are clumsy with ranged attacks and magic. Warriors start with a natural bonus to their 'Strength' and 'Agility' attributes and a penalty on their 'Endurance' and 'Intellect' stats.
Mage – Mages are the traditional offensive spellcasting class in Dungeon Runners. They are capable of dealing large amounts of damage from a distance with their powerful spells, but they are extremely vulnerable in melee range. Mages receive a natural bonus to the 'Intellect' and 'Endurance' attributes, but a penalty to their 'Strength' and 'Agility' attributes.
Ranger - Rangers are proficient with all sorts of ranged weapons, from crossbows to guns. They can deal large amounts of damage quickly, but are fairly vulnerable in melee combat. They start with a bonus to their 'Agility' and 'Endurance' attributes, but a penalty to their 'Strength' and 'Intellect' attributes.

Dungeon Runners Review
By Omer Altay
Dungeon Runners is a 3D fantasy, action MMORPG by NCSoft, the company behind Lineage, Guildwars and Exteel. The company isn't too well known in the free MMORPG business, as nearly all of their titles are or were at one point pay-to-play. Dungeon Runners actually entered the MMORPG scene as a traditional pay-to-play game in May, 2007. When NCSoft realized that their title just couldn't compete with the pay-to-play MMORPG heavyweight World of Warcraft, it was announced that Dungeon Runners would have a free-to-play component. To clear things up, Dungeon Runners never intended to compete with World of Warcraft, as it was more of a casual play "a bit here and there" sort of game. The game's most unique and certainly most interesting aspect is its humor. The game pokes fun at many MMORPG and gaming clichés with its witty quest dialogue and skill descriptions. Unfortunately, underneath all the humor is a rather dull game.
First Impressions
The first thing I noticed in Dungeon Runners was that the game's character creation system is rather lousy. The game only has one race (human) and only three playable classes: Warrior, Mage and Archer. Character customization options are limited to hairstyle and face only. The fact that the game has limited character customization isn't a surprise, as most free MMORPGs neglect this feature. Upon entering the world of Dungeon Runners and getting a quick feel for the game's graphics and interface, the first thing that popped into my mind was "More WoW graphics". The graphics in Dungeon Runners was certainly inspired by World of Warcraft, as everything from the game's interface to environments looks similar. There are now almost a dozen or so free MMORPGs that copy the graphical style of WoW. Dungeon Runner's graphics are nowhere near as similar to Warcraft as games like Runes of Magic and 4Story are, but either way, I'm tired of playing games that look like WoW because I've already played that game to death and prefer not the reminded of it when I'm playing an entirely different game. Upon actually walking around and talking to a few npcs, I quickly discovered Dungeon Runner's most interesting feature – great humor.
Much of all the text in Dungeon Runners was designed to poke fun at general gaming and MMORPG clichés. For example, one of the weapons I picked up on my Mage had an attack speed of 'Freakn' fast' and another piece of armor I had was named 'Baby seal skin pauldrons'. There's nothing quite like wearing armor that's made out of cute baby seals! My favorite is the description for one of my mage's starting skills called 'Bookworm'. It reads, "You have spent most of your life in libraries reading on subjects ranging from thermodynamic entropy to increasing profitability for broccoli farmers below the Tropic of Unicorn – all this knowledge gives you additional mana points per point of intellect as well as more intellect overall". Another part of the game that I chuckled at was when I clicked on an NPC which said, with voice acting, "you're ugly, if you come back here, I'll cut you!'. Dungeon Runners is just filled with quirky dialogue and witty item names and skills, so if you're looking for a light hearted comedic game, then Dungeon Runners is certainly worth checking out.
Underneath all the Lols
Unfortunately, underneath the game's humor there is only a subpar World of Warcraft look-alike with little to do. The game's dungeon designs feel cheap and repetitive, and there are only three playable classes. All of the game's maps are 'instanced', similar to system that Guild Wars employs, which makes the game's world outside of town feel empty. The game's most attractive gameplay component is its fast-paced combat system that functions a lot like the combat in other old school action RPGs like Diablo 2 and Nox. Players can move with either the WSAD keys or by using the mouse in point and click. Dungeon Runners does have some PvP components, but in order to participate players have to hop onto the game's PvP channel, which, unfortunately, only has a handful of users online at any given time; finding players to battle against can sometimes be difficult. The game's single biggest drawback, though, is the many restrictions placed on non-paying members.
We want you to PAY!
The single biggest drawback to Dungeon Runners is that a lot of the game's features are available only to the game's subscribers ($5/month). Sure, the subscription fee is a third of the price of World of Warcraft, but MMO Hut is all about free MMORPGs, so I still have to dock off points from Dungeon Runners for having too many restrictions on non-members. One of the major restrictions to playing Dungeon Runners for free is that they cannot use the highest 'tier' weapons in the game. The game's equipment system is structured like this; Gray weapons are normal, green are superior, blue is magical, yellow is rare, purple is unique, and rainbow is mythic. Non members can only use 5% of the mythic and 25% of unique weapons in Dungeon Runners, which is a pretty hefty restriction considering how powerful unique and mythic weapons are. On top of that, only paying members can access the higher level dungeons in the game, so unless you're willing to pay for Dungeon Runners, you're bound to hit dead end at some point of places to explore and level up at.
Final Verdict – Fair
Dungeon Runners is a fun, fast-paced MMORPG with great humor, but unfortunately the game's lackluster graphics and minimal character customization hurt it. The game's primary drawback is that far too many of the game's features are for paying members only. If you're looking for a good laugh, do download the game and give it a try, but, unless you're willing to pay for the game, there just isn't enough to do in Dungeon Runners to keep your attention.

CARL in AZ
I tried these soles for the first time and had some issues with the front ends separating from the boot. I think the issue is that since they are thicker and taller they may snag on more things and are prone to being pulled apart from the boot. Its a good sole and much more durable than the standard SRS sole. I would recommend it, but you might try and some shoe glue, especially on the front half of your boot when you install them.Read All Reviews

Drug my feet for a year before finally deciding to purchase these boots. They are in my top 3 best ever dirt bike purchases. These boots are built to last. More comfortable and flexible than any other boot I have ever work. I did not notice the tight toe box that many people do. These boots fit great.Read All Reviews

Good design, thin in the right areas and padded where they need to be. Very comfortable and also use these for my ski socks. - Do a great job in keeping my feet dry/wicking and so far no foot odor. Have a few pair of them.Read All Reviews

These fit perfect, were comfortable from the first day, easy to put on and adjust. Not bad at all to walk in as well. A great boot that's worth every penny !Read All Reviews
Rick in AZ
Had these boots for 3 years yes that sounds like a long time but I don't ride a ton. My issue is that the flex system grommet tore through the plastic holder on the boot. Now the upper shin guard flaps in the wind. As proud of their product as they are they should be proud to back it up. Won't by SIDI ever againRead All Reviews
Kyle in OR
The metal toe guards were a good fit and were exact replacements, but the screw heads were beveled like the type that are meant to countersink into wood and not a rounded head like the original ones were. Needless to say, you can't counter sink these screws into the metal toe guard so the heads stick up a bit and look funny. I also assume that they will catch on something after a while and come out sooner than the original style did.Read All Reviews

Irish coffee was invented by Limerick chef Joseph Sheridan in 1942 to welcome Americans visiting Ireland. The travelers arrived in the west of Ireland on a cold winter night, so Sheridan added whiskey to their coffee to warm them up, telling the Americans they were being served Irish coffee.
A San Francisco Chronicle travel writer, Stanton Delaplane, brought the recipe back to the U.S. after drinking Irish coffee at Shannon Airport. It was first served at the Buena Vista Café in San Francisco on November 10, 1952.
1 ½ oz. of Clontarf Irish whiskey
5-7 oz. hot coffee or 2 shots of espresso
1-2 tsp. brown sugar
Fresh whipped cream
Run hot water slowly over a glass mug until it's at room temperature or hotter, and then dry it (pouring hot coffee into a cold glass could cause it to crack)
Add brown sugar to mug
Pour in whiskey
Add coffee or espresso, leaving room at top for whipped cream
*To make cold Irish coffee chill the sweetened coffee before adding the whiskey
Stir until sugar is completely dissolved
Set whipped cream on drink
Do not stir (drink stays warmer longer with the cream sitting on top)

Connecticut Financial Crimes Task Force:
David B. Fein, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that NADIA PASICI, 50, a citizen of Romania residing in Middle Village, N.Y., was sentenced today by United States District Judge Vanessa L. Bryant in Hartford to 12 months and one day of imprisonment, followed by two years of supervised release, for participating in an ATM "skimming" scheme. PASICI also was ordered to pay a fine in the amount of $5000.
According to court documents and statements made in court, PASICI, Laura Stiuca, Sabrina Matache, Ion Constantine and others conspired to install "skimming" devices on automated teller machines ("ATMs"), and on card swipe access devices used by banks to control access to ATM lobby doors, at People's United Bank locations in Connecticut. The devices were able to capture the information encoded on the magnetic strips of bank cards used by ATM customers. The co-conspirators also placed devices on the ATMs that contained hidden pinhole cameras, which were positioned in such a way as to be able to record the personal identification numbers that bank customers keyed into the ATMs to gain access to their accounts. The co-conspirators then used this stolen information to create counterfeit bank cards that allowed them to withdraw funds from the customers' accounts.
In March and April 2010, PASICI and Stiuca, at Constantine's direction, used a pin-capturing device at an ATM located at a branch of People's United Bank in Cos Cob, Connecticut. Then, between April 19 and April 22, Matache and Stiuca used stolen bank account information to conduct unauthorized ATM withdrawals from People's United Bank ATMs in Stamford and Darien.
On April 22, 2010, PASICI, Stiuca and Matache were arrested by members of the Connecticut Financial Crimes Task Force at a branch of People's United Bank in Darien. At the time of the arrests, the defendants possessed approximately $2000 in cash, handwritten notes with addresses of People's United Bank locations, ATM skimming tools and other items used in the conspiracy.
Today, PASICI was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $60,664.
On April 8, 2011, PASICI pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud. Constantine, Stiuca and Pasici also have pleaded guilty. In December 2011, Constantine and Matache were sentenced to prison terms of 46 months and 12 months and one day, respectively. Stiuca awaits sentencing.
This investigation has been conducted by the Connecticut Financial Crimes Task Force, which includes members of the United States Secret Service; the United States Postal Inspection Service; the United States Department of State, Bureau of Diplomatic Security; the Connecticut State Police; and the Glastonbury, Greenwich, Hartford, New Haven and Shelton Police Departments. U.S. Attorney Fein specifically recognized the efforts of the Spanish National Police; U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service's Office of Fraud Detection and National Security for their assistance in the investigation and prosecution of this matter. People's United Bank assisted the investigation.

Subscribe to our Controlling Your Diabetes e-newsletter to stay up to date on diabetes topics.
It's 2011, and we're all likely thinking about how we'll approach this new year. Are you thinking about cleaning up your act to make up for some of the overindulging or backsliding you did over the holiday season? Wouldn't it be nice if you could be a celebrity and have a private cook and personal trainer to get you back on track with your diabetes management? Better yet, what if there was a spa you could escape to where you could lose a few pounds, start an exercise program, eat a healthy diet and avoid any mental stress?
I did an Internet search on "diabetes spas" to see if such a thing exists. Five spas appeared on my initial search. Of course, they were located in lush, tropical locations. And they provided trained experts from the top medical schools, as well as nutritionists, behaviorists, exercise physiologists, and complementary practitioners — comprehensive care in the lap of luxury. Dream on — for many of us this is not an option. But the idea of pampering ourselves a little is not a bad one.
How can we pamper ourselves as we sit in the house watching the snow accumulate to well over 30 inches? Remember, the Mayo Clinic, Rochester is in Minnesota, and we live this.
Some of my ideas for such rest, relaxation and renewal include:
Remember, a spa-day is to extend love and kindness to yourself.
Your ideas?

Selecting "Submit" signifies that you have read and agree to our posting guidelines.
well there are plenty of ways to workout without a personal trainer. There's alot of available information online pertaining to health and fitness.
But the best way to start is small and by being consistent. You don't have to know the best workout methods to exercise.
Push yourself past your comfort zone but within safe limits (with doctor's advice) - keeping in mind your condition as a diabetic. And everyday you'll feel the difference. Remember hard work always pays off.
C'mon Rochester: you can get more inspired! Here are a few of my self-pampering tricks.
Make a pitcher of Orange-Cucumber-infused water: add several slices of orange and cuke to a pitcher & refrigerate a couple of hours.
Treat yourself to some out-of-season fruit: berries, melon slices. Or try something new: Asian Pear!
Bundle up and enjoy a great walk in the snow, maybe along a river or through the woods. Come home to a warm bath. Rub your feet with some lotion. Put on your coziest lounge wear & have a relaxing read on the sofa.

Help your pets have a safe, healthy and warm winter
Thursday, November 22, 2012
As you know, winter is right around the corner. With cold weather comes long thick coats, homes occupied by warm fires, and fridges full of food. Winters can be hard for pets just as with people. Pets tend to become needier than usual when winter rolls around.

GSheader It is one of a series of documents introducing Joomla! 1.5 and it is part of the background to creating a new site. The aim of this document is:-
There are four aspects to designing a new Joomla! web site. These also apply to planning to make alterations(including upgrading versions J1.5 to J2.5+) to an existing site or planning for transferring a site that already exists in another form into the Joomla! CMS.
Everyone: who is going to create a Joomla! site.
Joomla! has a heirachical structure in the background for organising the content of the site. You need to know about this because it is better to plan ahead and exploit the content structure than set off in a random direction. This equally true whether you are creating a new site or altering an existing one.
And, outside the heirachy but closely associated with it:-
You should already be aware of the vocabulary of Sections, Categories, Articles and Menus from other documents in this series.
These can best be explored by looking at the Administrator pages of an existing site.
Sections are the top-level of organization. They should reflect the purpose of a site.
Explore the Section Manager
The sample data on localhost has three sections, About Joomla!, News and FAQs. These are enough for this small site to divide the content in a logical way and support the purpose of the site, which is to give helpful advice about Joomla!.
This displays the Workspace page which consists of Details and Description parts, as well as the usual Toolbar icons. The data in the Details and Description parts can be altered here. The Description appears on the Site when a Menu is created to list the contents of the Category. (Cross ref below for detail). This too can be altered using the same editor as that used for Articles on the site.
Help For a lot more detailed information about what you can do using the Section Workspace page - click the Icon at the top of the screen.
Explore the Category Manager
The sample data has nine categories. A larger site - or one that exploits Categories for displaying Articles - can have a lot more.
Help - a lot more detailed information about what you can do using Category Management - click the Icon
For a New web site you need to:-
There is no automatic way to do this - you have to think about it and whether you are going to want to exploit blog and list layouts.
Blog and list layouts: These are choices for displaying articles under different types of menus - see Background: using Menus and Modules
Note that the sample site - and many others - use a variety of techniques. They do not limit themselves to one level in the heirachy but set up the design to allow for multiple levels of content and also some blog and list layouts.
The key is a good understanding of the purpose of the site and what features will be displayed. This is not entirely straight forward. When it has all been done and in retrospect, it looks easy. But it is actually challenging to identify the main Sections / Categories and translate these into likely content.
The final design depends a lot on the range of content and how you think of it in a Section/Category heirachy. If you are not in a hurry and not very experienced, there is a lot to be said for Serendipity, that is to say finding out about your requiremtns as you go along. So you do not have to stick rigidly to your initial thoughts. It worth having an inital plan, even if you do change it in the light of experience.
The advantage of thinking it out is that you do not get distracted by how you are going to implement the design - you just focus on the content.
List the Sections and Categories out clearly ready to create them on the web site.
The example below takes part of a design for a sailing club web site showing how the basic information about the club could be designed in Section and Categories. Here the site is presenting some information about the club. The whole web site would hve maybe five or six Sections and a number of Categories under each Section.

The EGR System tends to get restricted or blocked with carbon after 100,000- 125,000 miles which will cause an emissions test failure for NOX. If the EGR system is equipped with an EGR temperature sensor it will trigger a Check Engine Light for improper EGR flow. The repair is to clean out the EGR passages and the EGR Temperature sensor. Our technicians tell this repair is pretty straight forward and takes about 1-1.5 hours. It is also wise to verify the EGR system components i.e. the Transducer, EGR Valve and VSV Solenoid at this time.
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Newest reported 1991 Toyota Cressida problems
Engine Won't Crank Due To Starter
If the vehicle will not crank over, the most common problem is the starter, which tend to fail at about 100,00-125,000 miles. Sometimes it is only the starter solenoid contacts, but often the complete starter (including solenoid) needs to be replaced.
Power steering pump may leak and require replacement
The power steering pump may develop a leak requiring replacement of the pump.
Service AC system at 150,000 miles or every two to three years
Usually by 150,000 miles the AC system will need some attention, especially in climates where it is used often. Our technicians tell us that it is best to service the AC system every 2-3 years. This keeps the moisture in the system at a minimum which extends the life of the components.
Replace Oxygen Sensor When Servicing EGR System
Over the time the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system may become plugged with debris, the oxygen sensor may also be getting slow or 'lazy' around this time. When servicing or cleaning the EGR system, it is a good idea to replace the oxygen sensor because it works in tandem with the EGR system.
Front Brake Rotor Wear Can Cause Pulsations
Front brake rotors can wear causing a pulsation felt in the brake pedal. Our technicians tell us this condition is best corrected by replacement of the front rotors and brake pads.
Automatic Transmission May Not Shift Correctly at High Mileages
At higher mileages, (125,000-150,000) the automatic transmission may not shift correctly. This can be caused by the throttle position sensor being out of adjustment or a shift solenoid needing to be replaced. Typically the transmission does not need to be completely overhauled.
Replace coolant and thermostat every 60,000 miles
Our technicians tell us that it is important to change the coolant with factory coolant and replace the thermostat every 60,000 miles. The will help protect the head gasket, otherwise the head gasket can deteriorate and be stressed to the point of failure.
Replace ignition key by 100,000 miles
Regularly check valve clearance so valves don't become too tight
It is important to regularly check the valve clearance as the exhaust valves may become too tight. This will lead to valve failures, which are expensive to repair.

Every year, when Fall arrives and the air gets crisp and the weather cools down, I look forward to hearty stews and nourishing soups. One of my favorite fall/winter recipes is Oden, a Japanese stew or "hot pot" made of dashi stock and an assortment of Japanese fish balls and fish cakes. Oden is my must-order item at my favorite izakaya—a seasonal dish available during the fall and winter months.
There are many variations of oden, but my favorite is the ones with hard-boiled eggs, konnyaku (a chewy plant-based gelatin), daikon, kombu (seaweed), and various types of Japanese fried fish balls and fish cakes. I especially love the hard-boiled eggs, which has the subtle taste of the oden broth.
Traditionally, oden is made with dashi, or Japanese cooking stock. While you can make home-made dashi stock, many home cooks, including those in Japan, are turning to premium quality soup base for convenience because there is dashi in the soup base. As a busy mom who is constantly pressed for time, I am all about using a good substitute without sacrificing the taste and authenticity. I made my oden with Mizkan (Bonito Flavored) Soup Base and the taste doesn't pale in comparison to the oden I had in the Japanese izakaya. It was every bit delicious, comforting, and utterly satisfying.
This season, try making oden for your family. It's a perfect dish to bring everyone around the table, sharing good food and making great conversations. Enjoy!

I always save the slice of daikon for last when I eat Oden! :)
I LOVE Oden!!! It tastes better the next day when all the favors from the broth seeps into the daikon, tofu and yam cake! YUM!

I'm Taiwanese and love oden. We call it a different name back home in Taiwan. The recipe seems easy and I love the konnyaku, which is very good for your health.
I've never eaten this before but it looks really good, and I'm inspired to make this too! I haven't come across Mizkan bonito soup base in the shops before though. How can I substitute it?
I look forard to even more japanese resipes
If I can, I would make the oden in the morning to have for dinner. The house smells like oden and can hardly wait for dinner. It taste like left over from the night before. Super yummy and the eggs are really the best.
Looks absolutely delicious! Definitely a winner dish for the autumn!
Japanese stews are very new to me, but bowled over by its simplicity and loved the flavor in it. I am inspire to try it soon.
that looks yummy. i've only started to take an interest in japanese cuisine :)
You mentioned kombu in the "method" however, it is not listed under "ingredients". So, do we add kombu? What is kombu?
