Business Control Solutions (BCS) highlights the need for more transparency in financial controls
LONDON – Senior financial directors at investment banks are increasingly at risk of being personally accountable for frauds and errors arising from inadequate transparency for financial controls, according to financial consultant and software provider Business Control Solutions (BCS).
"The most fundamentally important area to have control is around your balance sheet. It's old fashioned cash in cash out. Does it reconcile and what's happening?" said Nigel Walder, chief executive officer at BCS.
Accountability used to be satisfied by manual recording and box ticking, moving to Excel and other computing tools in the past decade to automate some of that process and perform the mechanics and log the information, but with limited transparency for the overall process and all the actors involved. This can leave senior directors increasingly at risk amid the growing demands for transparency in the post-Enron environment.
Mike Bush, head of product development at BCS, said: "The senior manager no longer has an excuse to say 'well I didn't know about this' because it's so easy now to see down to the lowest level of granularity required. Ignorance can no longer be bliss. There is a personal responsibility that the senior manager in a finance department has to ensure that controls are met."
New accounts are created each day in vast numbers but may be left unassigned for reconciliation, meaning should they slip through the net of internal controls, unassigned and orphaned accounts can lie hidden and exposed to frauds and errors, then effecting reconcilers' accountability after ownership.
"The process involved in verifying that those accounts are correct is quite a laborious, time-intensive process, but a critical control for the bank. If they get that wrong then obviously the balance sheet could be misrepresented, you could potentially be in regulatory breach, and from a personal perspective, the director who has responsibility for signing off that account could be personally liable for prosecution," said Bush.

- Application Details
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at WIS International in August 2013.Interview Details
I initially found the position on their website, and contacted the front desk to ask about WIS International; the receptionist was very nice and answered all the questions she could, even though she was new herself. After we exhausted what I could ask her, she actually gave me the hiring manager's name and transferred me to his phone to ask my questions.
I called him and left a voicemail and he called me back several hours later. I asked if I could see the repair depot to see if it matched my previous experience in the navy, and he set me up for an interview instead. After about 2 days I was called by the HR Specialist and conducted an interview with her. She was a very nice person but she didn't really know what to do with the questions she was given (she didn't even know the job). Really, she just listened to what I had to say and was impressed simply by the quality of the answer not actually by what I said. It seemed like it was just a formality so I could continue the HR process toward interviewing with the hiring manager. I sent her a thank you email afterward, just because she was nice.
About maybe 4 hours after the phone interview, she called me back to set the appointment for the interview with the hiring manager. I believe she set it for about 2 days later. I went to the interview, and the hiring manager asked me some questions about my previous experience, but he was really focused on how I fit for the job and not really accomplishments. He spoke in depth about the problems they were working through in the repair depot and the modifications they were making to the 750 Terminal, and he really wanted to see that I was interested in the work that would be done.
After asking the questions, he took me to the actual repair depot (it is mostly just a room in the corner of the building) and I sat down with one of the senior technicians and showed my proficiency with soldering. This was a great experience and I got to see how the shop actually was instead of just imagining what it might be. Following the interview, I was set up with a second interview by the HR Specialist to talk to the director.
The second interview happened the following day and was between me, the director, and the hiring director. The questions were basic, just explaining work history and seeing if I matched well with the culture there (they would tell me about issues they had and ask my experience in similar problems). It was a lot of them talking and me listening, but I felt that it went really well.
After that interview it took about a week for all of my paperwork to be completed and for me to actually get the job offer. There was the standard background check and they did call my references...however it was again the HR Specialist, so she was mainly just listening for positive feedback and not anything technical. After receiving the offer, I began work about 2 days later.
All in all it took about 2 weeks from me calling the hiring manager to my first day of work.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsI wasn't able to negotiate anything, it was not really part of the job hiring process. They already decided how much they wanted to pay, the benefits included, etc.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview

My interview was not the norm. I "interviewed" with about 4 other people in a small room at their main office. We were supposed to be interviewed as a group and then 1:1, but the area manager ended up telling us that they were just going to hire us right away because we were all referrals and they desperately needed people. We were not asked any questions. They had us fill out the tax paperwork and get name badges and workshirts right away. They trained us with their 10-key inventory machines with charts on the wall, just basic data entry. It was a very informal meeting, and it was a little disappointing that they did not even screen us in person or try to get to know us past our applications. At the end, they showed us how to log onto their website to retrieve our work schedules. We were told to check it every day if possible because jobs are constantly changing. The interview/training session lasted around 3 hours.Interview Questions

Employees pin hopes on Cabinet meet scheduled for May 15
Jaiveer Srivastava, Chairman and Managing Director of the Fertilizers and Chemicals Travancore, on Wednesday made a fervent appeal to trade unions representing workers and officers of the company to call off their proposed day-long hartal and rail blockade on May 12.
However, the trade unions represented by Save FACT Action Committee rejected the appeal and are making preparations for the dawn-to-dusk hartal and industrial strike.
Mr. Srivastava told the trade union leaders and officers that the proposed hartal would cause a lot of hardship to the people and action like a hartal would only "send the wrong message", said an official statement from FACT.
The CMD also promised the trade unions that the government was aware of the troubles facing FACT and that "a suitable decision was expected from the authorities any time".
A meeting of trade union leaders here on Wednesday decided to postpone the district-level campaign to 9 and 10 in view of an all-Kerala hartal called in protest against the Supreme Court verdict on the Mullaperiyar dam. Convenor of the Action Committee K. Chandran Pillai said that the trade unions were going ahead with their preparations for the May 12 industrial action and that campaigns were being organised in all the 14 Assembly constituencies in Ernakulam district on May 9 and 10.Financial package
Meanwhile, trade unions and the management are pinning hopes on the upcoming Cabinet meeting, one being scheduled for May 15, for a decision on the proposed financial package for the company recommended by the Board for Reconstruction of Public Sector Enterprises.
Mr. Pillai said that there were assurances from all quarters that the Rs. 991-crore financial package for the company would be approved. In case that does not happen, FACT would be in serious trouble, he said, pointing out that a new government at the Centre would take time for a decision on FACT for policy reasons. This can lead to further delay and idling of chemical plants.
He said FACT was facing serious financial troubles and even the payment of salaries for the current month may be delayed because of the shortage of working capital.

Darker, Edgier Mickey Mouse In New Video Game? 9
from the emm-ey-see-kay-eee-why dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
According to TFA, Disney confirmed a new Mickey Mouse video game from Junction Point Studios, which was bought by Disney Interactive in 2007. The game is merely titled "Epic Mickey" - the Gears and Unreal developer has no hand in it.
Yeah, the summary confused me, too.
Yeah and JPS is headed by Warren Spector (Deus Ex) so we'll likely see a good game come out of this.
The art looks dark, yes, but then, the famous "Fantasia" segment of Mickey as the Sorcerer's Apprentice was plenty dark, too. So they're keeping the right spirit, I think. Mickey isn't always hearts and violets. Sometimes he's a cunning tactical schemer, and sometimes he's a pure force of chaos... who always means well.
blogging at http://scientificblogging.com/sky_day/ [scientificblogging.com]
Mickey has to draw and scribble his way through levels, mending broken bridges by applying the right colour paint or peering through walls after applying thinner. He can even clear rubble from his path by erasing parts of the world.
Source [eurogamer.net]
It's a painting game puzzle game with retro art style. It may be darker than previous painting games [wikipedia.org], but I really doubt it's Mickey's version of Batman Begins.
Concept art like this [offworld.com] and all we get is a god damned painting game?
I hate Disney.

LOOKING for: Salad (with Lasagna)
I'm looking for a nice salad/dressing recipe that will go with Lasagna? Any suggestions/recipes? TIA!
I prefer vinaigrette type dressing with most pasta dishes. I often will include a few Tbsp of grated Parmesan in the dressing to pick up that nice cheese flavor, but if you prefer a plainer dressing, this is a nice basic version:
1/3 Cup Balsamic vinegar
2/3 Cup olive oil
1 Clove Garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon Minced parsley
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/8 Teaspoon Freshly ground pepper
Combine all ingredients and blend thoroughly in blender or with whisk. Refrigerate until serving time.
½ lb. sliced mushrooms
1 lb. young spinach leaves, washed and stemmed
6 Tbs. olive oil
2 Tbs. lemon juice
¼ tsp. salt
1 Tbs. grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic, slivered
Finely grated rind of ½ lemon
1 hard cooked egg
Freshly ground black pepper
Wash mushrooms and combine with spinach. Chill. Mix oil, lemon juice, salt, cheese and garlic. Chop up egg and sprinkle over salad. Add lemon rind to salad and grind pepper on top. Pour dressing over salad right before serving and toss.
Note: Best if dressing is made about an hour ahead of time and garlic pieces removed before pouring on salad. Crumbled bacon pieces can be added if desired.
i agree with alexa's take on things and can tell you that we've enjoyed ruthanna's recipe (minus the egg for us) many times. also--i don't have it at hand right now, but i hope someone will post MQ's fennel and mushroom salad--i think that goes great with pasta or beef recipes...here's one from a penpal that we also like a whole lot--
JoÂs Greens and Prosciutto Salad
Mix together, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate:
½ # mesculin salad mix
8 T pine nuts or almonds
2 dozen chopped basil leaves
2 dozen chopped mint leaves
4 chopped scallions
3 oz fresh parmesan, grated
3 or 4 slices of proscuitto, diced
Thinly slice a red onion and pour over it some red or white wine vinegar. Let it stand for 30 minutes and then drain it.
Into a ½ c of olive oil, slowly cook 4 cloves of garlic that has been chopped into ¼" dice. Remove garlic and increase the heat and add ¼ C balsamic vinegar and 2 T red wine vinegar. Once it boils, add 2 T brown sugar and heat for another minute. Add the garlic back in with a little salt and pepper. Pour over the salad greens.
This is a salad dressing I got from an Italian friend -- very simple but terrific on mixed greens. You'll have to work on the lemon juice to olive oil ratio to suit your taste.
In bottom of large salad bowl, mix high quality olive oil with fresh lemon juice -- I like it about 50/50. Add a pinch of sugar, and salt and pepper as desired. Whisk well, put salad greens on top of dressing, toss to mix.
I make about 2 T. dressing per salad serving.
Can add herbs, finely grated hard cheese. Can change the lemon juice to balsamic vinegar. Salad can be simple greens or add either veggies of choice and olives, or dried or fresh fruit and nuts.
It's by far my favorite dressing. Enjoy!
Carol Ann's friend got it right: Simple is best with lasagna. I sprinkle extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar and garlic salt over lettuce, toss together. If I have tomatoes, olives, onions in the house, which I usually do, I add them. No need to whisk or marinate at all. Just sprinkle, toss and serve.

house wrap in the basement
I have seen this on the TV show DIY Disaster, by the host/expert, and wondered if anyone sees a problem with this.
First off, I should say I am considering the Building Science method of insulating the basement walls, with the closed cell foam insulation against the foundation wall and sealed to provide the impervious envelope, then the stud wall built inside of the foam, then the stud space filled with fiberglass insulation, no vapour barrier, gyprock with alkyd paint.
However that would add additional thickness to the wall, which would make a difference in an already small room size.
The method I saw was to apply housewrap (Tyvek) against the wall surface (actually, they applied it to the prefab'd (on the floor) stud frame sections and lifted the sections agaist the wall. Then fiberglass in the stud space, PVC vapour barrier, then gyprock.
I guess the intent was the house wrap would provide a contact barrier between the wood studs and the concrete wall and floor, and also air infiltration barrier, but it would not act as a vb on the cold side of the insulation.
Any thoughts?
Sounds like the vapour barrier on the inside of the stud wall would cause the main issue that the Building Science Consortium is trying to avoid, it does not allow the foundation walls to dry to the interior.
Did you check out one of the proposed insulation methods at the end of this doc (page 18), combines the polystyrene with housewrap but hasn't been tested.
lewis, if you re-read my original post you will see the system I'm asking about (which is not the Building Sciences way, but which I saw on the DIY show) has the housewrap against the foundation wall surface, on the outside of the insulated stud wall. I guess the idea was that the house wrap is not a vapor barrier, so the only vapor barrier is on the warm side of insulated stud wall, and also as house wrap is a good air infiltration barrier, it would also provide a contact barrier between the wood studs and the concrete.
Any ways, as I said before, I'm going with the Building Sciences system.
However, i have decided to also incorporate the house wrap.
Here's what I've done on the one wall already.
I applied continuous house wrap on the wall and extended it well up to the top of the rim joist to the underside of the subfloor and sealed the edges with acoustic sealant. I installed 2" thick foam 8' x 4' boards horizontally on top of the house wrap, also taking it up into the rim joist (double thickness here) and sealing the edges with spray foam. Laps between the sheets were sealed with spray foam and Tuck Tape.
The stud wall was installed against the foam boards, the sill plate sitting on foam isolation srips.
I'll be installing the insulation batts and the wiring next, followed by the drywall and alkyd paint. No vapour barrier.
For the cost of the house wrap, which I bought in bulk, I think it's a double protection against air filtration, along with the foam board barrier.
I don't believe there is any conflict here with good practice.
I understood what you were saying about the house wrap, but twice you talked about having a vapor barrier on the warm side of the stud wall. This is what I was commenting on:
"Then fiberglass in the stud space, PVC vapour barrier, then gyprock. "
"so the only vapor barrier is on the warm side of insulated stud wall"
Sounds like you're final method is no vapor barrier in the wall system which is the key point of the method recommended by the Building Science Consortium.

Arsenal winger Theo Walcott says the players need to step up next season for manager Arsene Wenger.
Walcott revealed how Gunners boss Wenger ŌĆö eight years now without a trophy ŌĆö often blames himself for the teamŌĆÖs failings.
He said: ŌĆ£Every time we donŌĆÖt perform, he always puts it on himself.
ŌĆ£And at times itŌĆÖs not fair, because weŌĆÖre the players that go out there every week.ŌĆØ
The Emirates favourite is happy to defend the under-fire Frenchman because he says he has learned first-hand what a great coach he is and wants to repay him. Walcott said: ŌĆ£I think the boss always had such belief in me from such a young age, so IŌĆÖm going to repay him by trying to win something.
ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs a great manager, one of the managers I always wanted to play for. And having so many years with him, IŌĆÖve learned so much.ŌĆØ

The Space
Amazing loft for 2 or 3 people in the very historical centre of Barcelona 300 meters from Plaça Catalunya (the "Times Square" of Barcelona, next to the Airport Shuttle Bus stop!) next to Via Laietana (the street which leads you straight to the Beach), the Gotic Area, The Cathedral, Palau de la Música, Las Ramblas adnd all the atractions in the historical center.
The best place to have a perfect experience in Barcelona!
The apartment is located in a historical building totally renewed, but keeping the atmosphere and style of the Gotic period.
It has a double bed, a sofa-bed balcony, full equped kitchen and bathroom. All furnitures are new. Sofa, tv, fridge, oven, washing machine, towels, linen. Everything you need for a perfect and comfortable stay. IMPECCABLE CLEANNIG. INTERNET WIFI. The apartment is located on a first floor so there are very few steps to climb!
3 minutes walking to Plaça Catalunya the "Times Square" of Barcelona. Next to the Airport Shuttle Bus. Close to all main attractions in the historical centre like the Cathedreal, Palau de la Música, the Gotic Area, Santa Maria del Mar Church, Picasso Museum, Columbus monument, etc. Near to the Port Vell and to the Maremagnum Shopping center.
Very lively area with lots of restaurants, theaters, cinemas, bars and pubs. Walking distance TO THE BEACH and to the Barceloneta area.
Just 2 minutes to the metro Plaça Catalunya (L3) and next to the Airport Bus station!.
For families or groups of friends travelling together we eventually accept more than 2 people. There is a sofa-bed accommodating 1 person more.
The apartment is not suitable for any kind of party. Groups of friends looking for party and fiesta please look for another place. It's not allowed to make noise or listen loud music in the apartment. I want to keep a good relationship with my neighboors... Thanks!
I'll be happy to give you advice on what are the best things to do and places to go in Barcelona.
Other Things to Note
About the reviews saying that the pressure water is low I want to put it clear something: THE PRESSURE WATER IS PERFECTLY FINE TO GET A SHOWER. It's not very strong, so don't expect a lot of pressure to get relaxed under the water like a jacuzzi... But I repeat, It's perfectly fine to get showered!
We stayed at Carles`s place for about 10 days. He is a great host, was welcoming us personally and explaining all the practicalities about the flat and giving us short excursion around the neighborhood. As well later on he sent us very useful recommendation on places nearby.
Flat is spacious studio-style, everything what would you need is there, wifi was working perfect for our needs, with aircon turned to the heating indoor temperature was very fine. Flat is not soundproof, but area around and neighbors are quiet.
But real advantage of this flat is the location: you are in the Gothic quarters, close to El Born and Passeig de Gracia , 15mins away from La Ramblas, 4mins to nearest metro station. With plenty of options to eat and drink - everytime in a different place, also St. Catarina market is just 10mins away.
So if you want to live in Barcelona like local book with Carles!
Very good apartment in very good position!!! The apartment is confortable, clean and well equipped.
We stayed very well for a week and Carles was always available....
We were welcomed by David at the time we arranged to meet at the apartment. Fantastic location - could walk to almost everything we wanted - and David provided a nice introduction. The spacious room included firm bed, kitchen and dining area, desk and sofas with a bathroom off the entryway. It was attractive and comfortable and we enjoyed being there. Twice we needed to be in touch with Carles and David so we emailed, they responded immediately and addressed our concerns - one was even on Christmas eve and Carles came by to get our internet connected.
This is a great large unit that welcomed my family from the US. Location is GREAT putting you in the middle of everything and only 5 min. walk from the main centre. Would highly recommend.
David (colleague) offered great restaurant and site seeing recommendations and was very accommodating to us.
We enjoyed our stay at carles' loft very much. The place was exactly as described. It was in a central location, quiet, clean and well maintained. We loved the design. We'd definitely stay there again if we get to Barcelona.
The comfort and location of Carles' loft was a big factor in one of our best-ever trips. Everything we were interested in seeing or doing was within walking distance(most) or a short metro ride(some). The space was clean and had everything we need. As a bonus, it was extremely cool to be staying in a place built in the Middle Ages!
Carles was extremely responsive and prompt in our communications and checkin, and we couldn't have felt more welcome. Some may find small things to complain about, but given the price, location, and amenities, I don't think you'll find a better deal.
The reservation was canceled 11 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA) released a new report on the Value Case for Accessible Transit in Canada. The study, which highlights the economic and social benefits of accessible transit in Canada, has been developed with the underlying key themes of universal accessibility, inclusion, strong vibrant communities and health.
"This study provides the first value case account of accessible transit in Canada and is an important first step in continuing to evaluate the benefits of such services in our society," says Lorna Stewart, director of Edmonton Transit Disabled Adult Transit Services (DATS).
This report shows that the case for providing accessible transit is supported by a broad spectrum of annual monetary benefits to the national economy.
"The most significant benefit identified in the report was on the income that can be generated by increased labor force participation and its resulting potential to generate millions in GDP output and in additional tax base," says CUTA President/CEO Michael Roschlau.
This economic activity represents an important contributor to the vitality of communities across the country.
The report shows that the number of seniors in Canada is forecast to more than double from 4 million to 9.9 million between 2006 and 2036. From an aging population point of view, investments in accessible transit will be crucial, particularly when looking at health policy linkages. "
It will be important for decision makers across the country to view these linkages as a whole and draw insights from them to ensure proper investments are in place to support age friendly cities and communities," says Stewart.
The Titan800 Retractor System is designed to meet the latest WC18 industry regulations, which take effect December 2015.
The Final Rule applies to public entities providing fixed route, dial-a-ride and complementary paratransit services. It establishes that an individual's disability cannot preclude a public transportation entity from providing full access to its service except where doing so would fundamentally alter the service.
Following unanimous approval by the SFMTA board in January, the SFMTA has worked tirelessly to meet the city's demand for this program. In just over one month, the SFMTA has processed more than 38,000 applications for the Free Muni program expansion.

U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) awarded a $55,000 grant to Rutgers University's Next Generation Engineers (NexGen) program to promote and support engineering education activities and research skill development for under-represented students, as well as to promote careers in transportation industries.
"Creating opportunities for transportation and engineering related education for New Jersey's young students is an investment in our country's future," said Congressman Frank Pallone Jr. "This grant, through USDOT and Rutgers' NexGen program will open new doors for young students who otherwise might have limited means to pursue secondary education and specialized career tracks."
The Rutgers Academy for NexGen is a stimulating program designed to promote and support engineering education activities and research skill development for talented under-represented minority students.
This grant has been awarded to Rutgers as part of U.S. DOT's National Summer Transportation Institute (NSTI) program. The purpose of the NSTI is to promote awareness of educational and career opportunities among disadvantaged and at-risk middle and high school students around the country.
Participation in the NSTI is free for middle or high school aged students who have an interest in learning more about the transportation industry, its various modes (e.g., highways, aviation, transit and maritime), and how they might pursue post-secondary education concentrating on some aspect of transportation and the career opportunities therein.
In addition to Federal funding, the NSTI program receives support from local sponsors such as area businesses, and from the higher education institutions serving as host sites.
Students at the university's "Startup Shell," a collaborative space and technology incubator, may compete in business competitions for potential investor grants from Uber. The partnership will also include mentoring opportunities and the creation of an "innovation council," which will include students, faculty and staff, for crowdsourcing and development.
Matt Carpenter has more than 15 years of experience in the transit industry, including the past eight as CEO of Strathcona County Transit in the Edmonton area. He has a master's degree in urban planning from the University of Michigan, where he studied from 2001 to 2003.
Executive Order 8 addresses Illinois' fiscal crisis by recommending that state agencies require employees, whenever possible, to take public transportation or carpool when traveling. The state hopes this action will reduce travel reimbursements in gas money.
The university recently issued an RFQ and is evaluating potential locations. Four of its new buses are powered by CNG, and the school says it sees a benefit to converting more of its vehicles to alternative fuels.
In his new role, Jerry Rineer works with Villanova students who have mobility issues, providing support for them as they make their way across the 254-acre campus.

The Timberwolves could be a playoff team this season. As Clarence Swamptown will remind you, our usual bout of optimism when it comes the Wolves is a good annual reminder to check your smoke alarm batteries.
But really, this could be the year they turn it around.
They have depth, they are no longer incredibly young and new President Flip Saunders seems to have a sense for what he is doing (our disagreement over the Shabazz Muhammad pick notwithstanding).
What is particularly interesting to us, though, is that the Wolves' roster once again seems constructed without a bona fide plan for one of its most talented players: Derrick Williams.
Zach Lowe of Grantland rightly dubs Williams 'The Great Unknown' and says this about him:
There are higher-profile sources of intrigue — DeMarcus Cousins, for one — but I'm not sure any player is generating the same churn of curiosity, confusion, and opportunism around the league.
Lowe goes on to describe just how difficult Williams has it in trying to either turn into a small forward or earn minutes at power forward, then ends thusly:
These problems aren't as serious if Williams settles into a role as a heavy-minutes backup power forward, spotting up and defending less threatening backups. But that's not the ideal outcome for a no. 2 pick, and it might not be worth $6.3 million to Minnesota. Saunders wouldn't comment on Minnesota's plans for Williams's fourth year, but he knows teams are eyeing Williams as a potential buy-low trade candidate.
We're ready to arrive at this conclusion: If Williams is a scoring threat off the bench as a 25-minute a game guy and can carve out a niche as a player who can play multiple positions, the Wolves WILL be a playoff team barring other major injuries. If not, it really is time to move on from him regardless of Kevin Love's future status.

Most middle-market companies bullish about growth
- Kent Hoover
- Washington Bureau Chief
- Email | Twitter | Google
The outlook for big business is looking up, and we'll get a gauge of how small businesses are doing Tuesday, when the National Federation of Independent Business releases its monthly index. But how are mid-sized businesses faring?
Pretty well, it turns out. Most of the 200,000 companies that make up America's middle market were more confident in the economy in the third quarter than they were three months earlier, according to the National Center for the Middle Market's latest quarterly survey. The center surveys C-suite executives of companies with annual revenue between $10 million and $1 billion.
The survey found that 63 percent of mid-market retailers were at least somewhat confident in the economy, up from 55 percent in the second quarter. Two-thirds of mid-market service companies were at least somewhat confident in the economy, up from 64 percent in the second quarter.
Mid-market retailers, however, are more bullish about growth in 2014: 72 percent project growth next year, compared with only 62 percent of middle-market executives in the service and manufacturing sectors.
"Executives are still apprehensive of the year ahead," said Anil Makhia, academic director at the National Center for the Middle Market, a partnership between GE Capital and the Ohio State University Fisher College of Business.
"Federal policies must foster an environment that is conducive to growth and allows middle-market businesses to look ahead with certainty in continued economic expansion," Makhija said.
Middle-market executives are concerned about health care costs, but Congress' Jan. 15 deadline for reaching an agreement on federal spending also looms large.

Fridge Horror
- The fluff on Familiars is also pretty horrifying. The sound stages state that standard procedure when creating a familiar is to form a contract with a specified end, and when it is completed, the familiar will lose their sentience and revert back to being a normal animal, which is the equivalent of lobotomizing someone down to animal intelligence.
- How about the TSAB itself? They've been shown to employ children as young as twelve to be their enforcers, and as we have seen from Nanoha, they aren't immune to getting hurt badly, crippled, possibly even killed. No one child that young should have to suffer that badly, but that's not the end of it. Then we have seen them putting children as young as nine years old on trial with the very real possibility that they could face hundreds of years, basically life, in prison. Far from treating the TSAB as a well-meaning established body that wants to act for the greater good, it paints them instead as a military dictatorship whose word is law and routinely traumatizes young children.
Fridge Brilliance
- Fate learned everything she knows about magic and combat from Precia's familiar, Linith and it's also implied that a familiar's knowledge comes mostly from it's master. Therefore it can be assumed that Precia has knowledge of magical usage in combat beforehand or gained it through extensive research.
- Fate "befriended" Nanoha first!
- Linith is Precia's familiar, created from her pet cat. However, both she and Alicia were found dead during the day the reactor accident happened. So, how did the dead cat became a familiar? Simple, she was revived by Precia first, possibly to test the effectiveness of Project F.

Air Quality
By Associated Press
Tulsa, OK – Cool weather might help Tulsa skip air list
TULSA, Okla. (AP) Unexpectedly cooler weather could keep Tulsa County from violating federal air standards.
Nancy Graham of the Indian Nations Council of Governments' air quality program says the county likely will avoid the Environmental Protection Agency's so-called "dirty air" list.
Graham had been warning the county was headed for the list because of a series of ozone standard violations.

3-D Finite Element Modeling of Breathing Mode for Dry-Type Air-Core Reactors
L. Verbruggen1, J. Kotiniitty2, and M. Lehtonen1
1Power Systems and High Voltage Laboratory, Helsinki University of Technology, Helsinki, Finland
2Nokian Capacitors Ltd., Tampere, Finland
A crucial factor concerning modern reactors is a combination of laws and electro-technical rules defining appropriate produced sound levels. Currently, it is an important issue to reduce noise in order to fulfill all sound requirements. Noise results from reactor vibrations due to sinusoidal currents flowing through the reactor. The flowing currents induce electromagnetic fields which generate ...
Modeling Nanoscale Heat Flow
S. Palaich, and B. Daly
Physics and Astronomy Department, Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, NY, USA
When the dimensions of the material approach is a comparable size to the phonon mean free path, heat flow enters a new regime, the nanoscale. The Fourier and Cattaneo Equations describe bulk heat flow well, but radiative boundary terms must be considered when modeling nanoscale heat flow. We take these equations and input them into COMSOL with the hope of eventually linking nanoscale and bulk ...
Finite Element Analysis of Ferrofluid Cooling of Heat Generating Devices
T. Strek
Institute of Applied Mechanics, Poznan University of Technology, Poznan, Poland
An external magnetic field imposed on a ferrofluid with a temperature gradient, results in a non-uniform magnetic body force, which leads to a form of heat transfer called thermomagnetic convection. A magnet placed near the device will always attract the colder ferrofluid more than warmer. Viscous, two-dimensional, laminar and incompressible ferromagnetic fluid flow, under the influence of a ...
Non-Isothermal Kinetics of Water Adsorption in Compact Adsorbent Layers on a Metal Support
G. Füldner, and L. Schnabel
Fraunhofer Institute of Solar Energy Systems, Freiburg, Germany
Water adsorption in highly porous materials can be used in heat transformation processes for the efficient use of energy in heat and cold production. One technology for such a thermal heat transformation is the use of water adsorption in highly porous adsorbents like zeolite. To optimize the power density of compact thin layer adsorbent beds, a one-dimensional model of the coupled heat and mass ...
Modelling the Thermal Impact of a Repository for High-Level Radioactive Waste in a Clay Host Formation
X. Sillen
Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCK-CEN), Waste & Disposal Department, Mol, Belgium
Disposal in deep clay geological formations is one of the promising options for disposal of high-level radioactive waste. Yet, they can generate considerable amounts of heat as a side effect of radioactive decay. This paper shows how COMSOL Multiphysics has been used to evaluate the physical impacts of the heating on the geological media around a deep disposal system. The software was found ...

R. Sadleir
Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA
We are developing approximations of electrically anisotropic materials for use in novel imaging methods. Our modeling work in COMSOL comprises comparisons of anisotropic and layered models in terms of electrical conductivities measured using different strategies. We tested solution stability in one anisotropic case by varying mesh anisotropy. In our case, good approximations to the true ...
Electric Field Distributions and Energy Transfer in Waveguide-Based Axial-Type Microwave Plasma Source
H. Nowakowska[1], M. Jasínski[1], and J. Mizeraczyk[1,2]
[1]The Szewalski Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery, Polish Academy of Sciences, Gdansk, Poland
[2]Dept. of Marine Electronics, Gdynia Maritime University, Gdynia, Poland
In this paper, we examine changes of the electric field distributions in waveguide-based axial-type microwave plasma source (MPS) during tuning procedure. The distributions strongly depend on position of the movable short, so does the wave reflection coefficient of the incident wave. A method of determining tuning characteristics of the MPS consisting in treating the MPS as a two-port network, ...
Investigating the Use of a Piezoelectric Actuator for the Appendages of a Microrobot
J. Clark, and J. Clark
Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA
We investigate the use of a piezoelectric actuator for the appendages of a microrobot. Possible uses may include micro assembly, mobile surveillance, etc. What is different about this microrobot is that it uses 2 degrees of freedom, low powered piezoelectric flexures, while attempting to mimic the maneuverability of an ant-like insect. In the paper, we use COMSOL to characterize this type of ...
Modeling Joule Heating Effect on Lunar O2 Generation via Electrolytic Reduction
J. Dominguez[1], S. Poizeau[2], and L. Sibille[1]
[1]ASRC Aerospace Corporation, Kennedy Space Center, Fl, USA
[2]Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA
Kennedy Space Center is leading research work on lunar O2 generation via electrolytic reduction of regolith. The metal oxide present in regolith is dissociated into oxygen anions and metal cations leading to the generation of gaseous oxygen at the anode and liquid metal at the cathode. The authors have developed a 3D model using a rigorous approach to not only study the effect of Joule heating on ...
Transient Conjugate Optical-thermal Fields in Thin Films Irradiated by Moving Sources: A Comparison between Back and Front Treatment
N. Bianco[1], O. Manca[2], and D. Ricci[2]

In response to Jennifer Roback Morse's remarks to the Minnesota house I have asked them the following questions. I post a screen shot of them here since NOM and the Ruth Institute are generally not interested in open civil debate. I don't expect them to provide any answers to them.
Gay and Lesbian people exist. We always have and always will. Regardless of what NOM, the Ruth Institute, or any of the other discriminatory organizations that continue to turn our own government against us hope to achieve. Sometimes I truly wonder what their goal really is. Is it to try and somehow cure us and eliminate us? I don't think that there really is a clear answer to that question and frankly if that is the goal, it's a fool's goal because it can never be achieved. More Gay and Lesbian Americans are born everyday. Trying to rid America of us makes about as much sense as trying to get rid of everyone with red hair.
So if we aren't going away what sort of protections do we deserve if not marriage? The reality of the mater is that we do fall in love. We do have children. We do build lives and families together. We buy homes together. We go on vacations together. We worry about paying the bills together just like any other family. Is it right that when one of us dies we have no say over burial or that we have to pay gift taxes on the things we bought together as a couple? If one of us becomes sick do we not have a right to visit our partner? Should we not have any rights to the children we may have spent years raising together simply because the state won't allow us to adopt our partner's biological child?
These are questions that can't be answered by a simple contract other than that of civil marriage. Contracts other than marriage can be and often are challenged in court by family members that may not approve of the same sex relationship.
Without marriage are we just supposed to live a life without love, in solitude, and unhappiness? If you deny us marriage, then what will you allow?
Tax Problems
Obama seems to be plagued these days with administration picks with tax problems. While it means that the vetting process his team is doing needs some fine tuning, it begs the question? what are the odds that 3 of the people he has chosen out of the Washington elite have tax problems. It makes me wonder wonder how wide spread tax issues are among our law makers on both sides of the political isle.
