How long is this going to take, I am applying for a home loan but I cannot qualify becuase of the 8 TL's that are still in default. What is the DOE going to do about this?

Click me: Writing compelling headlines
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Learn what attracts clicks
By Lynn Walsh, RTDNA Contributor
It's probably one of the last things you write, but headlines are and always have been an important part of the writing process.
Writing funny and ironic headlines were all the rage for reporters in the old days (think 1990s, pre-web explosion). Headlines would be written as a play on words with the focus being more on being creative and witty than telling the reader what the story was about.
But the internet and Google have changed that. Think about how you use the internet and search online.
You are solution hunting; going to a place to get something done. You are looking for coverage that is comprehensive but specific. And most of us are scanners. It is estimated we read, on average, about 25 percent of the words on a website. We are looking for brevity and so are our readers.
So with search engines, we need to be thinking about optimizing our stories, especially our headlines for the search engines. You have to think, SEO (search engine optimization) writing or "Google" writing.
Give it to the reader straight. Be descriptive and not cute and clever; with the web, it's not a tease.
The web is different:
- Limited by the number of characters you can use in a headline
- Hard to add context. In a newspaper you can have a creative headline that is a play on words and reader may know exactly what the photo is based on the accompanying photo. With the web, that is a lot less likely to happen.
- Trying to create mass appeal.
- Too creative of headlines don't work.
If someone is looking for a story about a famous person who has died; if you do not have that person's name in the headline, people will most likely not find your story from your headline but will get the information elsewhere in another story.
Luckily people have been paying close attention to what gets readers to click on stories. And while not every headline lends itself to certain tricks or tips, there are some proven ways to write better headlines for the web.
When writing headlines use:
- Numbers. The bigger or more obscure the better. The best advice is to use actually numerals instead of writing out the word. Another suggestion is to lead with the number to grab the readers attention.
- Interesting adjectives. Some suggestions include "smart," "surprising," "critical," "huge" and "hacks."
- Questions. Who, What, Where, Why, How are all great.
- Most interesting words or phrase near the beginning.
- Descriptive language. Think about how you would search for this story online and be sure to include those words in the headline.
- Solutions. People enjoy reading articles that can solve their problems or make their life easier. For news, think about why someone would want to read the story and after reading it what they might learn. Try to tell them what they might learn in the headline.
Courtesy of: Quick Sprout
As with a lot of things in life, some tried and true practices of headline writing still stay true, whether you are writing for the web or the more traditional mediums.
Always remember to:
- Be accurate.
- Try to draw the reader in to read the story.
- Not repeat the lede.
Do you have some headline writing secrets? Let us know in the comments below.

Family-friendly museums in London
Published: Tuesday 30th of October 2012
Museums are not always renowned for being a hit with the kids but there are plenty of family-friendly options for people looking for things to do in London.
Providing an educational and entertaining experience, museums can be a brilliant day out, especially if the weather takes an unexpected turn for the worse.
Pollock's Toy Museum
The famous Pollock's Toy Museum opened in 1956 and is named after the iconic Benjamin Pollock, a printer of toy theatres who worked at the turn of the century.
Toy theatre, also known as paper theatre, was a highly popular art form back in the 1800s and allowed children to stage their own productions at home, often using puppets.
They featured intricate details, with cut-out sheets making up the scenery and various props and characters being used to illuminate the stories.
Pollock's Toy Museum has numerous displays of puppets, stages and theatres, all helping to bring to life this bygone era of family entertainment.
Children can also look on in wonder at the huge collection of toys from around the world, from impressive dolls houses to fully working train sets.
Each room has been given a theme so there should be something for all tastes, including mechanical toys, wax and composition dolls, china dolls, toy theatres, tin toys and puppets.
It's also very central and close to the Oxford St and Covent Garden Tube stations, making getting there particularly straightforward.
Cartoon Museum
Every child likes cartoons and with the London Cartoon Museum dating back to the dawn of British cartoons in the 18th century, this is an attraction which will appeal to a wide audience.
It covers the history and development of British cartoons and brings them all the way up to the present day by using an exhaustive collection of different types, including caricatures, cartoon art and TV animation.
Altogether there are over 900 pieces on show and with regular events for children and adults this is a must-see destination for animation enthusiasts.
While the Cartoon Museum might appear to be a venue for children, adults with an interest in the fascinating graphic history of British satire can view material from a more academic standpoint, thanks to an extensive archive and reference library.
There are also adult lectures and exclusive courses on cartoons and how they are used within society and popular culture.
London Motor Museum
This is the premier museum in London for car enthusiasts, with a showroom full of classic cars dating from the 1930s to the present day.
It features a unique array of classic American cars, as well as exclusive models such as a Louis Vuitton Cadillac Deville and a Lincoln Continental Lowrider.
Children can compete against one another and their parents in the famous Car Geek Quiz in the 20ft custom built Rolls Royce, before then topping up their motoring knowledge by watching a documentary or two in the cinema room.
Plus, there are plenty of photo opportunities with some of the world's most famous automobiles, such as Ferraris, Aston Martins and Jaguars.
Get free entry to over 55 top London attractions with a London Pass.

Our daughter, a high-school sophomore, is smart but highly emotional, distractible and melts down when things aren't perfect. We're working with her school counselor to help her focus, prioritize and achieve her high expectations. We don't want her on attention-deficit drugs. He suggests that she could benefit from mindfulness training. What is it?
Psychologists define mindfulness as the nonjudgmental awareness of experiences in the present moment. Some call it learning how to regulate our inner compass.
While mindfulness techniques such as meditation have been around for thousands of years, in the last few decades scientists have begun to study their effects on our well-being.
Research shows that learning to be mindful can help adults reduce stress, manage pain, shorten migraines, get better sleep and control unproductive emotions. More and more cardiologists encourage heart-surgery patients to learn meditation as part of recovery. Some dietitians add "mindfulness training" to weight-loss programs.
The scientist who brought mindfulness into medicine's mainstream is Jon Kabat-Zinn, professor of medicine emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and founder of its Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society.
Kabat-Zinn's work has inspired educators to include mindfulness training in social-emotional learning curricula.
"Any stressed-out parent who has read Zinn's book, 'Everyday Blessings: The Inner Work of Mindful Parenting' (Hachette, 1998), has thought, 'Kids ought to be learning this stuff in school,'" says New York educator Miriam Kahn. "Teaching a class how to calm themselves with their breath can reduce stress, promote mutual respect and de-escalate discipline problems."
Several studies show the potential benefits of mindfulness practices for students' physical health, psychological well-being, social skills and academic performance, writes Emily Campbell, research assistant for education at the University of California Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center.
One published recently in Developmental Psychology describes how a program called MindUP taught fourth- and fifth-grade students to practice mindfulness. Over a four-month period, they improved their behavior and social skills and even got significantly higher math scores than the control group.
Richmond, California, teacher Jean-Gabrielle Larochette realized that the many minutes he spent getting kids to settle into the school day ate into their precious instructional time.
"We tell kids to be quiet, calm down, stay on task, regulate and make good choices, but we're not teaching them how to do that," he says.
A mindfulness practitioner himself, Larochette taught them the focused breathing techniques he used daily. The results were so compelling that he founded the Mindful Life Project (mindfullifeproject.org) to expand the program to area schools.
A program offered by the nonprofit group Mindful Schools (mindfulschools.org) promotes practices that help students pay attention, build empathy and self-awareness, improve self-control and reduce stress. Research has shown that after six weeks of training, student behavior can improve significantly in those areas and that the gains can be sustained with a few minutes of daily practice.
Will mindfulness training help your daughter? It may be worth a try. If you can't locate a qualified local trainer, find well-recommended resources by Kabat-Zinn at mindfulnesscds.com. Or consider a free eight-week online university course from the Greater Good Science Center called "The Science of Happiness." Enroll at greatergood.berkeley.edu.

Lakers teams do well in home tourney over weekend
The Northwest Soccer Tournament was held last weekend at the Detroit Lakes Rotary Fields, with plenty of action from the local striker teams.

Finally, Now We Can Show You The Playroom…
Quick note: Tonight we'll be in Minneapolis at the West Elm on 3879 Gallagher Drive for cookies, cocoa, and a book signing at 6pm (we hear this parking lot is small, but there's a larger lot at a nearby Macy's as well as a ramp that leads to a parking garage which should hopefully help – as will getting there early, carpooling, or getting dropped off). More info here. We'd love to see ya there!
Remember how you guys were asking us to take photos of the holy-cow-that's-crazy playroom packed with secret book projects, stuff for our yard sale, and future projects so we could share them when the book was finally out? Well, I don't think you're ready for this jelly…
Were you ready? I told you it was crazy! But thankfully now that the secret book projects are out of the bag, we can share the insanity with you (since it's no longer a spoiler for you to see our partially stenciled wall, the gray trim around that window, the green planter, that wooden headboard, the yellow branch wreath, or anything else that you might recognize from zee book).
Here's a vertical shot. Just as crazy, right?
So when my mom came out for a visit a little while ago, we decided to tackle it together (me + mom = organizing nerdfest). Literally the second I put Clara down for her nap it was as if someone fired some imaginary gun at the starting line and we shot off in different directions to get that room cleaned up. Completely comical.
When you're dealing with such an extreme volume of things that need to be sorted (since some were book projects that were going to be auctioned for charity, other things were going to be yard saled, and other items are still waiting to be made over and used in future rooms like the sunroom, Clara's big girl room, the guest room, etc) – the first step is definitely clearing the room. So we scurried to bring everything out into the entryway, where there was more floor space for sorting. We had three zones going on:
- one spot for yard sale stuff
- one spot for the book auction items
- one spot for things going back into the playroom for future projects
Most of what you see in this picture are things that were going back into the room (the luggage goes in that closet, those shelves are for a future project, etc). And there's my mom going through all the gift bags that I save to reuse (she was almost entirely on closet-duty, so she got to play with things like tissue paper, gift bags, and ribbon while I sorted things for yard sale and auction piles.
About an hour and a half later, we could see most of the room again! It was weird. Like those dreams that you have of discovering an extra room. Tip: don't fill a room with junk and you won't feel like you're discovering said room after hours of cleaning it out.
Sure enough, as the cluttered playroom got emptier, the areas in the entryway (and the adjoined hallway) got crazier. This was our yard sale pillow pile. Yikes. Note: You can read more about how the yard sale went here.
I also brought a few things into the office since I wanted to use those items for Clara's big girl room. See where I'm going? It all started with those green, purple & pink abstractly shaped pillow covers from Ikea in the bottom right corner of the rug. We also had a few smaller book projects that we felt especially attached to, so while we gifted/auctioned about 99% of the items that we DIYed for the book, we did keep a few little favorites (like the paint chip art on the right, the fabric covered lamp shade that we can't wait to pair with this moose lamp, and the monument wood painting that John did with a paint color that Clara picked herself).
So consider this a lazy gal's mood board (toss everything on the rug and snap a picture, haha) for the colors and fun/random vibe I'm thinking will make Clara grin like she does when she covers her body with stickers. For anyone wondering where these items are from: blue frames (spray paint DIY project), blue clock & green dot light & chicken we sprayed plum (HomeGoods), flower print and pink/purple/green pillow covers (Ikea), fabric shade & paint chip art & pink painted monument wood art & pink candle sconce (favorite book projects).
Here's what the room looked like after we loaded things back in (the items under the window were smaller auction items that we didn't want to leave out in the sunroom with the bigger ones, so they're actually gone now). But the rest of everything is still in there since we put the yard sale stuff into the sunroom to keep it separated. Oh and you'll notice that we tossed up the old curtains from our bedroom just to keep them hung so they're not wadded up in some closet (but clearly they still need to be ironed/retrained so they don't look all ganked up).
Still looks pretty darn cluttered, but it's not nearly as bad as it looked a few hours earlier. Whew. Thanks momma!
Here's the view looking back at the daybed (Clara's future big-girl bed) covered with pillows (yes, I have a pillow problem, but in my defense we still have a daybed in the sunroom and Clara's big girl room to use them for). Then maybe we'll need to have another yard sale… haha.
See that big rectangle of blue paint? Just another wall we painted for book shooting. That wall actually got painted three times (navy for a headboard project, paprica red for cloud shelves we made, and then blue for a tip about not painting all the way up to the ceiling). It's crazy to think about how many things we painted and repainted back in January! Oh and see that green chair and twig mirror in the bottom corner of this pic? Those are book auction items, so they're cleared out and no longer on the floor.
Speaking of the auction, we made $500 for charity thanks to generous locals who bid on our secret book stuff in the silent auction last week at the R. Home for the Holidays event. Woot! We're so thankful to you guys for giving those items a good home. And we wish we could have opened up the bidding up to a wider span (nationally or even internationally) but shipping things (many of which were large and heavy) made it too complicated for a two person "company" like us (it also would have diminished a lot of the profit we were trying to make for the charity). But to any locals who went home with something, we'd love to see pics of things in your rooms! And to anyone else anywhere in the globe, if you DIY anything from the book (since you've definitely got the info on what we used/how we did it) of course we'd love to see those pics!
As for the closet, here's my mom's handiwork. She's awesome, eh? I think sorting all of my gift bags and ribbon might have been the highlight of her trip. Well, that and seeing sweet Clara of course. Ok, Clara wins.
Oh and see that weird line of paint to the left of the closet in the pic above? Yet another wall that we painted at least three times for book backdrops. We so crazy.
Ahhh, but behold: nothing's in the entryway or the hallway anymore. Can I get a what what?
I hope these long awaited playroom before and not-as-bad-now pics were fun for you guys. Seriously, this before picture gives me the willies:
Please tell me you guys at least have a closet or a junk drawer that's looking pretty hairy, just so I don't feel so alone. Haha. And you know what partially clearing out this room means… we're one step closer to converting it into Clara's big girl room (although we still have the hall bathroom and the basement to finish along with an untouched sunroom, carport, and guest bathroom). You know we're all over the place, so it's only a matter of time before we bounce in there too. Bring on the paint, the fabric, and the moose lamp!
Update: Nope, I'm not prego! Maybe I need to add an update to this post? Yup, I'm doing it. I, Sherry, hereby solemnly swear that I'm not with child. Haha. Spread the word!

Ours isn't a room so much as my closet. It's where everything goes to get dealt with "another day." Right now I have to wear a hard hat to open the door.
Oh yeah and I would so make a road trip to attend your yard sale!!
We have one of these too… a good size closet where "everything else" goes. We started in on it this weekend… before you couldn't walk into it… it was that bad… We have removed about 75% of the stuff and out of that, over %50 has been designated for craigslist sales or bulk pick-up which starts in less than two weeks here. I can't wait for it all to be gone!
Well our current house (2 bedrooms) didn't have room for a spare room of junk. But on Friday we're moving; and going from 4 rooms to 7! So I have a feeling we will definitely have a junk room for a while. :)
I can only imagine the amount of work that went into that – you can spend all day on a room on only get a fraction of what you wanted completed. Great job!!
Crystal from 29 Rue House and I actually started a competition to try and motivate eachother to organize our rooms. Who knows – we may even issue a Crazy Clean Challenge (similar to Pintrest Challenge) to anyone who wants to partake. We can do posts on 'before' and 'after' as well as, share our tips on how we organized, link to each other's blog, etc.
Not that you don't have enough on your plate already, but we'll keep you posted just in case you want in on the challenge. :-D
Gabriella and Crystal– Yes please! I will start stalking your blogs more — to be inspired!! :)
Sign me up for that challenge! My basement is the only junk room, and it's especially awful right now.
Sweet!!! Thanks Sherry and Stephany. I am so stoked about all the excitment over this challenge. I'm in the midst of drafting something now so stay tuned. :-D
Woohoo! Two people interested!
Finding an extra room in our apartment would be awesome!! Can't wait to see what you do for Clara's big girl room.
What an improvement! I tried to get my husband to let me big on that white desk at the silent auction or one of the chairs – but honestly we have zero room in our house for more furniture. Glad someone else got it thought!
Seriously am I one of the first to comment??? Thanks for the pics. I've been wanting to see that playroom for a while. The anticipation was building up. It is weird to see your book projects scattered about after looking at the beautiful pics in the book. I wish I had an extra room – my spare throw pillows are piled up in my jacket closet. Anytime I need a jacket they all spill out reminding me to do something with them…
Oh we are really struggling with junk at the moment, we are in a small flat and our boxroom is full to over flowing. Planning a big clear out in the new year. xox
You and your mom are brave. Very, very brave. Haha. I like the color scheme you're working with for Clara's room. It'll be fun to see how it all comes together. :)
The room looks SO much better, but truth be told, it still makes me anxious! I just don't like to have things around that don't have a place. My folks house has a room like that (and closets and drawers too) and it makes my skin crawl. Then again the rest of your house is pretty spotless! And disclaimer – my condo is only 434 sq ft.
Before we made my studio into…my studio it would get crazy over and over again! Because it was nothing but a storage room. Now I wonder where all that crazy went now. We are doing Greta's Big-Girl room for Christmas. And it is so so so exciting. I could design and decorate little girl's rooms all day long.
I have a storage room in our basement bursting with projects and things I want to sell when I set up an online shop. So, don't worry, you are not alone!
We have a clutter room, too! It's like clutter purgatory: it's not going to the attic yet, but it's also not going to the curb. It's just stuck where it is.
Love the vibe of Clara's big girl room!
PS. I just sent you a quick little note on some must-see/must-eat things in Dallas! Hope your travels are all awesomesauce!
Clutter purgatory! Love it. Might have to borrow that ;)
Can't wait to see you tonight!!! So excited! : )
I contemplated bringing a collage that a friend made for me that I hung in my dorm room in college of my favorite rapper, Eminem, just to make Sherry feel more at home with her readers… lol
I have two cabinets in the kitchen that are driving me crazy! My kids and husband never seem to put things back in same spot that they got it from, drives me bonkers! haha I will get around to it one day.
You have to know you are not alone! We have a guest room that looks like a garage/storage room. My hubby is a huge car guy with no garage so he started sticking stuff in there. Then I got into blogging and projects and then I started sticking stuff in there for projects in process. A few months later and it is a "YIKES!" moment every time you open the door. So closed it stays until one day…way to go on reaching your one day!
Looks great! It seems like that process would be so cathartic! I'm impressed you could get it done so quickly; I think I would constantly get sidetracked (which always happens when I 'organize' my books!)
You are far from alone! My den and craft room definitely rival that playroom. The den is brimming with stuff that needs to be sold on CL along with some barstools that need to be recovered and sold. If a cat gets in there, we just declare it lost for a couple hours. My craft room plays double duty for my creative needs and also beer which my husband and I brew. So in between sewing or scrabble tile projects are carboys or 22's mixed in everywhere. Thankfully, with the holiday break coming up, I can get to work on making everything not quite so crazy.
Nice work for just one afternoon! Truthfully in those first pictures I didn't even know you had a bed in there! ha!
Our entire basement looks like this though – so having just one room isn't bad at all (at least in my making-excuses-for-our-cluttered-basement mind)!
Awesome! I love organizing. :D
"Like those dreams that you have of discovering an extra room." Hahaha, I didn't know anyone else had those! I always feel a little disappointed to wake up and realize it's not true.
I so need to do this with my "nursery" too. It turned into the room where things got thrown when we moved just to get them out of the way. …now it's the room of doom.
Can't wait to see it as the "big girl room"! I have a "big boy room" to plan and I am hoping to see some ideas that can "go both ways" so to speak.
Great job! Thanks to Sandy, the hubs and I had to seriously clean out/reorganize our spare room (move things off the floor, move everything away from windows, etc.)… and somehow it has stayed clean! It's like a miracle so I know exactly how great you feel to no longer have a messy room!
Awesome transformation! It's amazing how much stuff you can pile into a room you're not using! I love organizing, but have an issue with getting rid of the piles.. For instance, my garage sale pile has been sitting in a corner of the basement for over a year and the clothing we're donating to Goodwill has been sitting in another corner for nearly six months! I need to put that at the top of my own 'Dude, get on that already!' project list!
The moose lamp is going to be adorable!!

what a great way to use fresh fruit! we had a ton of fresh strawberries from the farmer's market - more than we would have been able to eat before they spoiled. this is a wonderful, refreshing, easy treat! based on previous reviewers, i reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup instead of 3/4 and it was perfect!
It was great- the mint infused syrup was wonderful. Next time, I would use maybe 2/3 the amount of mascarpone to make it a little less creamy and a little more sorbet like.
Delicious! A little less sugar would probably be just fine. Tons of flavor. Everyone loved it!
Delicious and easy. I dissolved the sugar and water on stove. Maybe a little less sugar for others though I like mine sweet.
A wonderful, light dessert! I made it for dessert after lasagna-perfectly sweet and not too heavy after a meal like that. I actually chilled martini glasses and drizzled chilled vodka over the top with the lemon curl as a garnish, also very good! I also used frozen strawberries and they still tasted wonderful!
love the easy and fresh recipe..., perhaps next time will prepare without sugar.

Diamond close Diamond: The hardest and most brilliant of all gemstones, a diamond can make the heart race with its pure and fiery spark.

Für den Preis super!Posted Jan 27, 2015
Cons: WLAN Verbindung
Wer möglichst günstig in London übernachten will, der kann hier ruhig ein Zimmer buchen! Die Ausstattung reicht vollkommen aus und die Zimmer sind sauber. Der Flur roch etwas streng, aber ansonsten ist das Hotel für ein Wochenende zu empfehlen. Die Bahnhaltestelle ist nicht weit entfernt und noch 10 Stationen ist man auch im Zentrum Londons.

Una settimana a LondraPosted Jan 8, 2015
Pros: La disponibilità e la gentilezza del personale
Cons: l'arredo delle camere
Location: un po fuori mano, ma a un passo dalla metro, zona stadio, nuova, carina.
Hotel a 5 minuti dalla metro (Wembley Park), struttura un po datata, ma pulita, ottimo personale, gentile e disponibile. Stanza grande, pulita, unica pecca la mancanza di un armadio in camera. Colazione un po costosa (6.5 sterline la continentale, 11 quella inglese), ma cibo di qualità.

To Sara of Fit by Sara: "What exercise would you recommend to tone the thighs and buttocks?"
The lunge in a simple exercise you can do anywhere and it tones multiple muscles including the thighs and buttocks. To do the move, take a big step forward with your right foot. Place your hands on your hips and with your hips facing forward. As you lower your left knee towards the floor keep your back straight and your head lifted. Bend your right knee so your foward leg is parallel with the floor. Make sure your knee is in line with your heel bone (not over the toe). Press back to stand. Repeat the lunge on the right leg 10-15 times then switch legs. Work up to 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps. -Sara Holliday MFT, CPT

Unfortunately we did not get the chance to meet Milik as we got delayed at the US border and with traffic but we were nicely welcomed by Nancy who quickly showed us the flat and gave us the keys.
The flat was very nice & well located in a quiet(ish) street - remember that New York is never quiet, even at night! It is not the best area of Manhattan, however we always felt very safe and within 15/20 minutes walk you reach nice areas such as the Flatiron building & Grand Central. Everything was easily accessible & there was a lot of restaurants around.
For those like us driving to New York, there are a lot of parkings in the streets nearby.
The flat was quite big with 2 bedrooms and nice beds, however the sofa bed was very uncomfortable and my brother in law ended up sleeping on the sofa itself (thus not suitable for a couple!).
The bathroom was good too, with towels provided.
The wifi was free and really fast. We also had access to a landline which was very useful to call US numbers (e.g. make a restaurant reservation).
We did not use the kitchen at all, but it was quite big, clean and seemed well equiped.
We believe it was good value for money.
We had a very pleasant stay in Milik's flat and would definitely recommend it!
Milik was really great and ended up being extremely flexible with the check in time which was really helpful to us. The apartment was clean and the perfect size for our group of 6. Everyone had a bed!
Good location, lots of restaurants nearby, good and clean apartment, I would definitely stay there again.
The apartment is comfortable and the location is great. We were there in winter and the heating and the hot water were always perfectly working.
With little things it could be better, such as adding more chairs and some missing kitchen utensils.
I rate it 4/5.
Nancy welcomed us and took us through the features of the apartment and the surrounds. The apartment is very comfortable. Second bedroom and fold out beds could have more comfortable mattresses. But all in all 8/10.

You can work very hard on risk management projects. But without clear reporting, all of that work is nearly useless. Scout's report packages, especially at the board level, enable us to present meaningful information and quickly determine the best plans of action.
With Scout, we were able to begin risk management initiatives from a truly logical point and then work in an organized and time effective manner. Within days, we were already in a better position than after working for months without it. This is exactly what we were looking for.
We love Scout – it allows us to keep all of our risk assessments in one location. We don't have to go spreadsheet to spreadsheet trying to manage everything and insure it gets in all the right places. The audit controls ensure we are getting the proper scope in our external audits.
Scout is a very easy and user friendly tool that makes it so easy to consolidate all of my risk assessments into one dashboard. It would be pretty hard to mess up using Scout. And the customer service is so good – I've been shocked at the response time.

Florida St. women top cold-shooting Cyclones 55-44
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Cheetah Delgado says she and her Florida State teammates went into their NCAA women's tournament opener with the idea they were playing not just Iowa State but also the Hilton Coliseum crowd.
The Seminoles beat both.
Natasha Howard had her school-record 15th double-double of the season with 10 points and 13 rebounds, and 10th-seeded FSU defeated the cold-shooting Cyclones 55-44 on Saturday.
"We talked about it plenty of times at timeouts, at halftime, that we can't let them get back-to-back shots, especially 3s, because that gets the fans really fired up," Delgado said. "So we tried to keep them to one shot and then score at our end."
The Cyclones were second in the nation in attendance this season at better than 10,000 a game. The home crowd had little to cheer as the Cyclones turned in their worst shooting performance of the season.
The Seminoles (21-11) won their 11th straight tournament opener since 1991, prevailing in a game in which turnovers outnumbered field goals 44-36. They'll play No. 2 seeded Stanford (30-3) on Monday night.
FSU coach Sue Semrau said more important than the winning streak in tournament openers was beating the Cyclones in Ames.
"Whew. It's really just more relief," she said. "Right now there's not a lot of joy knowing the next one's coming."
The Seminoles beat the Cyclones at their own game early, making four straight 3-pointers to build a quick 12-point lead.
"We just knew we had to come out strong," said Delgado, who had 10 points to go with six assists. "The last couple of games we've been coming out really strong, with a lot of intensity."
Hallie Christofferson scored 13 points, Brynn Williamson added 12 on four 3-pointers, and Jadda Buckey had 10 for the Cyclones (20-11).
Howard came in averaging 29.2 points in her previous nine games but didn't crack double figures until less than 4 minutes were left.
The seventh-seeded Cyclones' 15 field goals were a season low, as was their 25.4-percent accuracy. They were just 7 of 38 on 3-pointers (18.4 percent) against the Seminoles' 2-3 zone defense.
"I don't know how we held them to 18 percent from the 3-point line except for grits and guts," Semrau said. "The last couple of days I thought we were really able to focus on what Iowa State was going to want to do. They do so many nice things, but they don't play aagainst much zone."
ISU coach Bill Fennelly said he had no problem with the shot selection.
"I'd say most of them sure, again, shoot it," he said. "That's this tournament. You don't make any, you go home."
The Seminoles led 30-18 at half, and Brittany Brown scored six straight points to push it to 38-23.
Williamson got Iowa State within 10 points with a 3-pointer that swirled around the cylinder before dropping, bringing some life to the Hilton Coliseum crowd. Neither team scored for almost four minutes before Williamson hit another 3 to cut it to 40-33 with 9 minutes left.

Gardening News: Utilizing dried flowers from your garden topic of Oct. 30 U of I Extension program
Staff Report
OREGON, Ill. — "Just because the end of the gardening season is approaching doesn't mean the time for enjoying your beautiful garden flowers is over. Why not bring those flowers indoors to enjoy?" says University of Illinois Extension Horticulture Educator Candice Miller.
University of Illinois Extension Ogle County will offer the program "Utilizing Dried Flowers from your Garden" from 6 to 7 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 30, at the Extension office, 421 W. Pines Road, Oregon, Ill.
Drying is an excellent way to preserve flowers for years of enjoyment. Successful drying depends on proper harvesting of flowers and choosing the right drying technique, whether hang drying, covering or glycerinizing.
In this one-hour program, Miller will first discuss and demonstrate these methods for drying flowers, and then follow up with a hands-on workshop about how to make a swag with dried flowers to hang on your wall. All materials for the workshop will be provided, but bring any flowers from your own garden that you would like to learn how to dry.
Cost for this program is $20. To register, call the Ogle County Extension office at (815) 732-2191 or visit http://web.extension.illinois.edu/bdo/. Post any gardening questions you may have on the University of Illinois Extension Horticulture-Northwest Illinois Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/northwestillinoishorticulture.

As the Obama administration weans the U.S. off polluting fuels blamed for global warming, energy companies have been sending more of America's unwanted energy leftovers to other parts of the world where they could create even more pollution. Here are five things to know about the issue:
5 things to know about coal trade, global warming
1. AS U.S. REDUCES COAL USE, DEMAND RISES GLOBALLY. Over the past six years, the U.S. has cut consumption by 195 million tons as power plants have burned cheaper natural gas instead. The Environmental Protection Agency's latest proposal would further cut coal's share of electricity generation. Meanwhile, coal demand is rising globally. In 2013, according to the 2014 BP Statistical Review of World Energy, it grew by 3 percent. The International Energy Agency expects global coal demand to grow 2.3 percent per year through 2018.
2. U.S. COAL EXPORTS HAVE SOARED TO MEET RISING DEMAND. The U.S. exported more coal in 2012 and 2013 than any other year since 1949. Exports surpassed 100 million tons for the first time in more than 20 years in 2011. Exports are down this year because of higher natural gas prices and a colder-than-average winter at home. But the U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts coal exports to grow to 161 million tons by 2040 without policy changes. In 2012, the U.S. comprised 9 percent of the global coal export market, the latest data available.
3. COUNTRIES ONLY ACCOUNT FOR POLLUTION FROM COAL THEY BURN. When measuring progress on global warming, countries count only pollution from burning fossil fuels. Coal exports make the U.S. appear to be making more progress on global warming than it actually is, although it's still coming out ahead. Analyses suggest U.S. exports could be reducing by half or wiping out completely the pollution savings in the U.S. from switching power plants from coal to natural gas.
