Welcome to the first issue of the second volume of The Journal of Operational Risk.With this issue we start the second year of the Journal's existence. Compared to a year ago, we are pleased to see an increasing number of high quality submissions.
Welcome to the first issue of the second volume of The Journal of Operational Risk.With this issue we start the second year of the Journal's existence. Compared to a year ago, we are pleased to see an increasing number of high quality submissions. One year on from its inception and the Journal now has a healthy and desired "competition" for a slot in its issues. I am also thankful for the number of congratulatory messages on the event of our first anniversary. I can only thank you for the support and ask you for your continuing collaboration.
The Journal of Operational Risk is a vehicle for communicating results in the modeling and management of operational risk. The journal aims to be the forerunner in publishing articles in areas such as: statistical/actuarial methods and estimation issues, causal models, scenario analysis based models, Bayesian methods, uses of external data within the framework, etc. We also encourage submissions for publication on new ideas and research in subject areas such as corporate governance, business continuity plans, enterprise-wide risk, financial crime and the development of controls to avoid them, insurance, etc. This Journal also aims at being a new forum for discussions on this subject, facilitating the publication of top-quality operational risk technical papers. Research in operational risk is a field that is growing at a fast pace in both the financial industry and academia. There are currently many lines of research, most of them trying to overcome the challenges presented by the new regulatory standards created by the Basel II Accord. However, currently there is not a single forum for the debate of these ideas. The Journal of Operational Risk has been published to fulfill this much needed role.
At this moment I would like to invite you to really appreciate the high quality of the articles in this issue of The Journal of Operational Risk. We thank the authors for their trust in this young publication and appreciate all the encouraging messages sent by a number of colleagues in the industry and academia. All of this gives us the comfort that we are taking the right steps to build this new global industry forum for operational risk.
Research Papers
In this first issue of the second volume, there are three research papers in the main section. One of them shows an approach that allows the aggregation of the different types of data. The remaining two papers deal with the use of extreme value theory and heavy tails.
In the first paper, "A "toy" model for operational risk quantification using credibility theory", Bühlmann et al apply Bayesian credibility to combine the internal losses, external data and scenario analysis into a single figure. Credibility theory seems to be emerging as a dominant thought on the aggregation of the different types of operational risk data; the focus of this paper is centered around the quantification of low frequency/high impact losses.
In the second paper, "Multivariate estimation for operational risk with judicious use of extreme value theory", El-Gamal et al, realize that indiscriminate use of extreme value theory to all data would lead to unacceptably high capital estimates. In their view, practitioners need to use judgment in modeling the data; they present estimating capital by using copulas in a multivariate estimation of capital.
In the third paper, "Heavy-tailed distributional model for operational losses", Giacometti et al analyze a real database received from a large European bank using statistical distributions in an actuarial type of approach. The authors claim that assuming a Poisson distribution for the frequency distribution fails as the frequency process closely follows a non-homogeneous Poisson process. They address a number of problems usually faced by the practitioner in dealing with modeling operational risk databases.
Operational Risk Forum
In this current issue, Schäl and Stummer provide a more rigorous, academic view on operational risk data modeling following Basel II standards. In the final article, Makarov shows two applications of the exact extreme value theorem.

Fig Jam with Ouzo
My fig tree is exploding with fruit right now, so I decided to revise my recipe for an old favorite: Fig jam, spiked with ouzo, lemon and bay. I don't eat too much jam and jelly, but this one is absolutely worth your effort.
Salmon Head Soup
In case you hadn't noticed, I actually like the rest of the salmon as much – if not more – than the fillet. This is salmon head soup, done Japanese style. And don't worry, there will be no eyeballs staring back at you: You only use the salmon heads to make the broth.
How to Make Elderberry Wine
If you want to make your own fruit wines – wines worthy of the snootiest wine snob – this is how to do it. I've been making fruit wines for 20 years, and here is my method. It requires some special equipment, a lot of patience, and a little math. But the result is more than worth it.
Pickled Chanterelle Mushrooms
It is chanterelle season in much of America right now, and I am even hearing a few isolated reports of chanties here in California. What to do when you want to extend your season? Pickle your chanterelles. They're awesome preserved this way.
How to Smoke Salmon
There are a lot of ways to smoke salmon, but this is the method I've perfected over the years. Making perfect smoked salmon requires a little attention, and a lot of time. Here's how to do it.
Grouse Salad with Barley and Tomatoes
Another good recipe for the dog days of August: Grouse salad with Sungold tomatoes and barley. It's meant to be eaten warm or at room temperature, on the porch at sunset, beer in hand.

Director Elections and the Influence of Proxy AdvisorsStephen J. ChoiNew York University School of Law Jill E. FischInstitute for Law and Economics, University of Pennsylvania Law School Marcel KahanNew York University School of Law; European Corporate Governance Institute May 2008 NYU Law and Economics Research Paper No. 08-22 3rd Annual Conference on Empirical Legal Studies Papers Fordham Law Legal Studies Research Paper No. 1127282 Abstract: Using a dataset of proxy recommendations and voting results for uncontested director elections from 2005 and 2006 at S&P 1500 companies, we examine how advisors make their recommendations and how these recommendations and other factors affect the shareholder vote. Of the four firms we study, Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), Proxy Governance, Glass Lewis, and Egan Jones, ISS is widely regarded as the most influential and its recommendation is claimed to sway 20-30% of the vote. We find that the four proxy advisory firms differ systematically from each other both in their willingness to issue a withhold recommendation and in the factors that affect their recommendation. We further find that all the proxy advisors, but particularly ISS, base their recommendations largely on factors that shareholders take into account (independent of the recommendation) in casting their vote. Once these factors are controlled for, overall voting outcomes are substantially similar whether or not a proxy advisor has issued a recommendation. Our analysis demonstrates that the reported influence of ISS is substantially overstated. Our evidence is consistent with the view that proxy advisors act primarily as agents or intermediaries which aggregate information that investors find important in determining how to vote in director elections rather than as independent power centers.

Okinawa Electric Plans Storage System for Solar Power
Dec. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Okinawa Electric Power Co. will set up a battery storage system on Japan's southernmost island to handle extra capacity generated by solar power projects.
The device is needed because the electricity grid on the island of Okinawa is expected to reach its maximum ability to accept solar energy, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said today in a statement. Applications to build solar farms with 300 kilowatts of capacity or bigger could reach 57 megawatts as early as this month, METI said.
The project -- and a similar effort on the northern island of Hokkaido -- underscores the strains placed on Japan's power systems amid a government push to expand alternate energy supplies since the March 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster.
A 2-megawatt lead battery storage system will be set up in the fiscal year starting April 1 and will go through a trial process, Keisuke Murakami, a ministry official in charge of the project, said today at a news conference.
Besides Hokkaido and Okinawa, other areas in Japan aren't expected to reach their limits for now, Murakami said.
Power grids in southern Japan are close to capacity for solar and wind projects as the country pushes to add stations that derive power from clean energy, Bloomberg New Energy Finance said in August.
Japan has approved 23.6 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity since an incentive program began in July 2012, according to the latest data from METI. BNEF estimated earlier this year that Japan has 34 gigawatts of grid availability for new solar and wind projects.
Reform of the power market could improve the country's grid, the London-based researcher said in the report.

Tony Tyler's remarks at AVSEC World, which took place in Washington, on 27 October
German Efromovich, CEO of Avianca, received a Fast Travel award – the first in Latin America! With the recent launch of self-tagging through kiosks at Cali's Alfonso B. Aragon airport, Avianca was able to show off their latest service to their passengers.
This achievement shows the advancement that Latin America is making in aviation and the increased service offered to its customers.
Together with other self-service options at the airport, Avianca has qualified for a Fast Travel compliancy and was awarded the certificate by Anthony Tyler, IATA's Chairman and CEO, at the AGM in Doha this June.
The developments are moving quickly in Latin America and we will continue to see this region move forwards and other airlines increasingly offer such services to their passengers.

Improved noncontact optical sensor for detection of glucose concentration and indication of dehydration level |
Biomedical Optics Express, Vol. 5, Issue 6, pp. 1926-1940 (2014)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1927 KB)
The ability to extract different bio-medical parameters from one single wristwatch device can be very applicable. The wearable device that is presented in this paper is based on two optical approaches. The first is the extraction and separation of remote vibration sources and the second is the rotation of linearly polarized light by certain materials exposed to magnetic fields. The technique is based on tracking of temporal changes of reflected secondary speckles produced in the wrist when being illuminated by a laser beam. Change in skin's temporal vibration profile together with change in the magnetic medium that is generated by time varied glucose concentration caused these temporal changes. In this paper we present experimental tests which are the first step towards an in vivo noncontact device for detection of glucose concentration in blood. The paper also shows very preliminary results for qualitative capability for indication of dehydration.

Allied Princess
I will be taking the initial preliminary look at this type of boat and would appreciate any specific areas or things to pay particular attention to. I will be having a survey performed but would like to avoid having him point out the obvious if I can identify it first and potentially eliminate a boat from consideration that is not worth putting the cost of a survey into. I will be sinking enough into what ever boat I do wind up purchasing and would like to start off on the right foot :D
I would greatly appreciate any things that folks have seen affecting this type of boat over the years. Thanks. |
I would highly recommend you read the Boat Inspection Trip Tips thread I started earlier this year. Can't say anything specific to the Allied Princess, but it does have a lot of good info in the thread. Also, recommend you read the POST in my signature to help you get the most of your time here.

It was clear long before last April that the 2012 NFL Draft was going to center around two players. Those two players — quarterbacks, of course — were Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III.
Both players were expected to be franchise-changing talents. Luck was the consensus choice for No. 1, but holding the second pick wasn't expected to be too shabby, either, with Griffin waiting for the team in possession of that pick. That pick did belong to the St. Louis Rams, but the Washington Redskins gave up a ton to acquire it and take Griffin. Meanwhile, the Colts were "lucky" enough to finish as the NFL's worst team in 2011 and thus earn the right to pick Luck.
Luck and Griffin are almost one season into their NFL careers, and so far the results have been pretty spectacular. Both of their teams are in the playoff hunt, with both clubs controlling their own destinies. Luck and the Colts have rallied around cancer-stricken head coach Chuck Pagano en route to a 9-5 record. Griffin's dynamic play-making abilities have the Redskins knocking on the door of the playoffs as part of a three-way tie for the NFC East lead.
However, Luck and Griffin aren't the only rookie quarterbacks who are producing the most important stat — wins. Out west, some may tend to forget that the 9-5 Seattle Seahawks are being run by a rookie quarterback as well in Russell Wilson. The youngster came out of Wisconsin with not too many expectations, at least not when it came to making an impact. Yet Wilson outplayed high-priced free-agent pickup Matt Flynn, winning the Seattle starting job. He's made the most of it, and he has the Seahawks looking a playoff berth square in the face. The progress is definitely there for all three of them, especially after their three teams combined to go 14-34 last season, and now they're all poised to play postseason football.
It would appear that all three rookies are going to add to their trophy cases throughout their NFL careers, but only one of them will be able to take home this year's rookie of the year award.

Poulsbo awards city hall construction bid
POULSBO — The Poulsbo City Council approved a nearly $8.3 million construction contract Wednesday night, taking a giant lunge forward in replacing an aging city hall.
The contract was awarded to Seattle-based JTM Construction, and came in $1.3 million — or 14 percent — lower than the city anticipated.
"It's really our own little economic stimulus package," said Poulsbo Mayor Kathryn Quade.
City Public Works director Barry Loveless said 15 bids were submitted in "tight competition," with only $100,000 separating JTM Construction from the next lowest bidder. The city planned for a roughly $9.5 million construction estimate, and council members discussed what to do with the savings.
Councilwoman Becky Erickson called for a "careful anaylsis of what we do with that difference," saying it doesn't necessarily have to be spent.
The project, with a total budget of nearly $15.9 million, is expected to be complete by the end of summer 2010.
According to a city press release, construction work at the Moe Street and Third Avenue site is set to begin soon, and will mean regular construction traffic in the area during working hours. One lane will be blocked on both Moe and Third for the duration of the project.
The bid award marks a significant step for the city, which has worked toward replacing its current Jensen Way structure for years. Due to a council whose opinions often differed, Quade said, the city examined each of its project options.
"Even though we didn't always agree on all the points, the benefit was we looked at every possible angle," she noted, adding, "It's been a long time coming."

Accurate determination of wall shear stress and heat and mass transfer rates under an impinging jet requires careful analysis of the boundary layer at the impingement surface due to the large pressure gradients near the stagnation point. Modeling the inviscid flow just outside the boundary layer provides the boundary conditions necessary for such an analysis. Previous inviscid models have considered only a small subset of possible jet velocity profiles and with limited spatial resolution. In the present work, analytical solutions to the stream-vorticity equation for two-dimensional and axisymmetric impingement flow with arbitrary velocity profile are found in terms of a surface integral involving the vorticity function, allowing an iterative determination of the stream function throughout the impingement region. Surface pressure distributions and streamline plots are calculated for various impinging jet configurations, including plane, round, and annular jet nozzles. The calculations show excellent agreement with previous experimental and numerical results, while requiring relatively short computation times. Flow predictions are also made for impinging jet configurations for which no previous data or calculations exist.

The U.S. RDA for magnesium is the amount of the mineral used as a standard in nutrition labeling of foods. This allowance is based on the 1968 Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for 24 sex-age categories set by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences. The 1989 RDA has been set at 280 milligrams per day for women 19 to 50 years of age and 350 milligrams for men 19 to 50 years of age. As you can see, in 1985 and 1986, about 25 percent of the magnesium in diets of women was supplied by grain products and another 25 percent by fruits and vegetables. Meat, poultry, and fish provided about 18 percent of the magnesium. Fats, sweets, and beverages supply 14 percent of the magnesium; however, they are not considered in our list of "good sources" because they are high in calories compared to the amounts of vitamins and minerals they provide. Foods that contain small amounts of magnesium but are not considered good sources can contribute significant amounts of magnesium to an individual's diet if these foods are eaten often or in large amounts. WHY DO WE NEED MAGNESIUM?Magnesium, a mineral, is used in building bones, manufacturing proteins, releasing energy from muscle storage, and regulating body temperature. DO WE GET ENOUGH MAGNESIUM?According to recent USDA surveys, the average intake of magnesium by women 19 to 50 years of age was about 74 percent of the RDA. Men of the same age got about 94 percent of the recommended amount. About 50 percent of women had intakes below 70 percent of their RDA. HOW CAN WE GET ENOUGH MAGNESIUM?Eating a variety of foods that contain magnesium is the best way to get an adequate amount. Healthy individuals who eat a balanced diet rarely need supplements. Intakes of magnesium tend to be low in relation to recommendations, and there aren't that many foods that are really good sources; thus, it may take special care to ensure an adequate intake. The list of foods will help you select those that are good sources of magnesium as you follow the Dietary Guidelines. The list of good sources was derived from the same nutritive value of foods tables used to analyze information for recent food consumption surveys of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Human Nutrition Information Service. HOW TO PREPARE FOODS TO RETAIN MAGNESIUMMagnesium is lost in cooking some foods even under the best conditions. To retain magnesium:
WHAT ABOUT WHOLE-GRAIN CEREALS?Whole-grain ready-to-eat cereals usually contain 10 percent of the U.S. RDA for magnesium. Since cereals vary, check the label on the package for the percentage of the U.S. RDA for a specific cereal. WHAT IS A SERVING?The serving sizes used on the list of good sources are only estimates of the amounts of food you might eat. The amount of nutrient in a serving depends on the weight of the serving. For example, 1/2 cup of a cooked vegetable contains more magnesium than 1/2 cup of the same vegetable served raw, because a serving of the cooked vegetable weighs more. Therefore, the cooked vegetable may appear on the list while the raw form does not. The raw vegetable provides the nutrient - but just not enough in a 1/2-cup serving to be considered a good source. WHAT ARE GOOD SOURCES OF MAGNESIUM?FOOD SELECTED PERCENTAGE OF SERVING SIZE U.S. RDA (1) BREADS, CEREALS, AND OTHER GRAIN PRODUCTS
Bread, whole-wheat 2 slices + VEGETABLES
Artichoke, globe (french),
cooked 1 medium + MEAT, POULTRY, FISH, AND ALTERNATES
Fish and Seafood

"Submarines in Stockholm," the second track to be released from A.C. Newman's upcoming Get Guilty, might disappoint fans, but then again, we're not so sure we can judge on their behalf. Like all of Newman's "perfect pop songs," this one layers an instantly memorable sing-song-y melody over textures (like the quiet keyboard in the bridge) that reward repeated exposures. And of course, the mildly rocking package is garnished with artfully nonsensical lyrics. "Perfect" is sometimes just another word for "rote."

John Nichols, a pioneering political blogger, has written the Beat since 1999. His posts have been circulated internationally, quoted in numerous books and mentioned in debates on the floor of Congress.
Nichols writes about politics for The Nation magazine as its Washington correspondent. He is a contributing writer for The Progressive and In These Times and the associate editor of the Capital Times, the daily newspaper in Madison, Wisconsin. His articles have appeared in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune and dozens of other newspapers.
Nichols is a frequent guest on radio and television programs as a commentator on politics and media issues. He was featured in Robert Greenwald's documentary, "Outfoxed," and in the documentaries Joan Sekler's "Unprecedented," Matt Kohn's "Call It Democracy" and Robert Pappas's "Orwell Rolls in his Grave." The keynote speaker at the 2004 Congress of the International Federation of Journalists in Athens, Nichols has been a featured presenter at conventions, conferences and public forums on media issues sponsored by the Federal Communications Commission, the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Consumers International, the Future of Music Coalition, the AFL-CIO, the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, the Newspaper Guild [CWA] and dozens of other organizations.
Nichols is the author of The Genius of Impeachment (The New Press); a critically acclaimed analysis of the Florida recount fight of 2000, Jews for Buchanan (The New Press); and a best-selling biography of Vice President Dick Cheney, Dick: The Man Who is President (The New Press), which has recently been published in French and Arabic. He edited Against the Beast: A Documentary History of American Opposition to Empire (Nation Books), of which historian Howard Zinn said: "At exactly the time when we need it most, John Nichols gives us a special gift--a collection of writings, speeches, poems, and songs from throughout American history--that reminds us that our revulsion to war and empire has a long and noble tradition in this country."
With Robert W. McChesney, Nichols has co-authored the books It's the Media, Stupid! (Seven Stories), Our Media, Not Theirs (Seven Stories), Tragedy and Farce: How the American Media Sell Wars, Spin Elections, and Destroy Democracy (The New Press), The Death and Life of American Journalism (Nation Books) and, most recently, Uprising: How Wisconsin Renewed the Politics of Protest, from Madison to Wall Street (Nation Books). McChesney and Nichols are the co-founders of Free Press, the nation's media-reform network, which organized the 2003 and 2005 National Conferences on Media Reform.
Of Nichols, author Gore Vidal says: "Of all the giant slayers now afoot in the great American desert, John Nichols's sword is the sharpest."

serious attention.
Twelve years ago, Harris Wofford made healthcare an issue. Promising to
fight for coverage for all, Wofford scored a surprise victory in a
Pennsylvania Senate race--inspiring speculation that a President named
Bush could be beaten in 1992. Wofford handed the issue to Bill Clinton,
who won the election but lost the war by proposing a plan that offered
more in the way of bureaucracy than a clean break with the existing
for-profit system. Since the Clinton crackup, Democrats have struggled
to reassert the healthcare issue. While the 2004 campaign has yet to
experience a "Wofford moment," Dr. Norman Daniels of the Harvard School
of Public Health says rising numbers of uninsured and underinsured
should move healthcare to the fore as an issue. "The question," he says,
"is whether the new crop of candidates will address it effectively."
Enter Representative Jim McDermott, a physician and the new president of
Americans for Democratic Action, who has taken it on himself to sort
through candidate proposals (www.adaction.org). As McDermott sees it,
the plans of Howard Dean, John Edwards, John Kerry and Dick Gephardt
"are all quite similar--they each combine modest expansions of public
sector programs such as Medicaid and [children's health programs] with
private sector initiatives to encourage employers to provide health
insurance for their employees." While under each of these plans the
government becomes an even greater purchaser of healthcare, McDermott
says that "because most of the new expenditures are through the
fragmented private insurance market, the government will continue to
waste its considerable market power." He's still reviewing Lieberman's
plan, which looks to resemble the others.
In contrast, McDermott notes, Representative Dennis Kucinich offers a
single-payer national healthcare plan based on a bill by Representative
John Conyers, of which McDermott is a co-sponsor. While he sees value in
incremental reforms, McDermott says, "I continue to believe that a
national health care plan, with a government-guaranteed revenue stream
for providers, would be most effective in providing universal coverage
and controlling costs while guaranteeing high quality care." A separate
study of the candidate proposals, done by The Commonwealth Fund
(www.cmwf.org), says Kucinich's plan would cover all Americans, while
those of Lieberman, Dean, Gephardt, Kerry and Edwards would leave 9
million to 19 million uninsured. Single-payer backers Al Sharpton and
Carol Moseley Braun have not offered details; Gen. Wesley Clark has yet
to make his views clear.
While McDermott's analysis will please Kucinich backers, his candidate
choice won't. The Congressman just endorsed Dean. Two reasons, he says.
First, "as governor of Vermont, Dean implemented reforms. He got people
covered. One of the problems the Clintons had is that they were starting
without ever having done it. For them, it was theoretical. Experience
helps you avoid big mistakes." Second, "Electability. Dean isn't my
perfect candidate, but I think he can beat Bush. Beating Bush is the
first step toward healthcare reform."

Deviant behavior such as violence, substance abuse, and the development of clinical disorders is often associated with peer influence and society. It is agreed that peers and society highly impact the behavior of an individual, especially during adolescence; however, an individual first learns and encounters their first influences through family, particularly parents. Therefore, individuals' attachments to their parents are to be further explored by using the Kentucky Youth Survey and Family Systems theory as another approach in predicting deviance.
The first and therefore, most influential figures in one's life is the parent. Since family is the primary social interaction among children, parents are the first to form, or hinder their child's self-esteem; they create rules and an environment for their child to be classically conditioned through; and parents also mold their child's view on relationships (Engel, 2006). Parents have such a significant impact on an individual's development that they have the extraordinary power, sometimes used intentionally, for their children to become anything the parents wish; based on the parents' pattern of behavior and children's physical and emotional attachment to their parents, children can develop healthily and become self-motivating; however, children also can become maladaptive and even destructive to themselves and/or others. Hirschi (1983) stated, 'Criminologists become interested in people only after they have committed criminal acts, and then it is too late to learn much about the family situation, especially during the child-rearing years. As a result, many theories of criminal behavior ignore the family and thus do not explain specific problems in child rearing that may be associated with a likelihood of later deviant behavior' (Katz; Dunham; Zimmerman, 1997). Increased attention shall be focused towards the prevention of children becoming deviant, particularly during adolescence, once they have been exposed to an unhealthy child-rearing environment.
Deviant behavior among children, adolescents, and adults appear to be strongly influenced by the unfavorable attachment and relationship they experienced with their parents. According to the psychological theory of Family Systems, 'Individuals are best understood through assessing the interactions between and among family members'it is not possible to accurately assess an individual's concern without observing the interaction of the other family members' (Corey, p. 412, 2009). Known as a 'system,' the family functions so that each member is connected in order to influence one another's behaviors and create schemas.
Data from the Kentucky Youth Survey (1997) was used for this study in order to test the hypothesis that parental attachment is a significant factor in a child's development; the Kentucky Youth Survey measured the patterns of violence and behavior as it related to the environment and lifestyle of youthful individuals. The lack of adequate parenting often leads to an impairing development that can lead to deviant behavior. In order to further understand parental attachment and the influence it may have on producing deviant behavior, Family Systems theory, consequences of inadequate parental attachment, and other possible causal factors of deviance, must be fully explored through relevant literature.
Western culture often emphasizes independence, whereas many Eastern cultures accentuate the importance and dependency families should provide. Researchers discovered that individuals cannot become independent without first being influenced by family, which eventually resulted in the development of family systems theory. According to the text Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy, 'A family systems perspective holds that individuals are best understood through assessing the interactions between and among family members. The development and behavior of one family member is inextricably interconnected with others in the family' (Corey, p. 412, 2009). Therefore, one cannot accurately understand an individual without reference to their family.
The impact of family on a child's development is now becoming recognized in educational settings. According to the article Understanding Families: Applying Family Systems Theory to Early Childhood Practice, 'At times it seems that teachers focus on children as if they appear from nowhere, land in their classrooms, and merely disappear at the end of the day' since educators are often trained to work with only children instead of the children and their families (Christian, 2006). Teachers must also interact with their young students' families and understand the diversity of each family and the family system since both the familial and school environment influence and can benefit as well as harm a child's development (Christian, 2006). Bowen's family systems theory can be interrelated with John Bowlby's attachment theory and both are recommended to be used in family therapy since the onset of many family problems are from unhealthy parental attachment. Bowlby's attachment theory focuses upon how the emotional attachment formed with the primary caregiver influences a child's development. Unresolved attachment can be related to previous trauma in attachment relationships stemming from loss, abuse, separation, severe inconsistency as well as rejection (Van ecke; Chope; Emmelkamp, 2006). Successful attachment enables the child to be confident and feel safe enough to explore the world and form healthy relationships. To that end, lack of attention and care can result in the failure to attach to a primary caregiver, which will increase the chance of a child becoming deviant with an inability to form healthy relationships.
Mary Ainsworth contributed to Bowlby's theory by indicating separate attachment types. Securely attached individuals become visibly upset when their caregivers leave and are happy when their parents return. These individuals also show a balance between a healthy connection to others and self-reliance; they tend to have a positive self-image (low anxiety) and demonstrate trust and open communication in relationships (low avoidance). Also, secure parental attachment is associated with less engagement in high-risk behaviors, fewer mental health problems, and enhanced social skills and coping strategies (Moretti; Peled, 2004). However, those with an avoidant attachment tend to avoid parents and caregivers. These individuals question their self-worth and fear abandonment (high anxiety), whereas dismissing'avoidant adults distrust others and minimize or shun interpersonal intimacy (high avoidance). Fearful'avoidant adults experience high levels of both attachment anxiety and avoidance (Riggs; Sahl; Greenwald; Atkison; Paulson; Ross, 2007).
More often than not, children experience unhealthy attachment and relationships with parents, which appear to result in childhood aggression and hostility. The study featured in Attachment, family dysfunction, parental alcoholism, and interpersonal distress in late adolescence: A structural model, surveyed undergraduate students to discover the relationship between family environment, attachment and, interpersonal distress. The results showed that parental alcoholism was not a significant predictor of attachment to parents or interpersonal distress; however, the mediating role of parental attachment was evident when family dysfunction was examined. As the level of family dysfunction increased, participants reported less parental attachment and more interpersonal distress (Mothersead; Kivlighan; Wynkoop, 1998).
Children and adolescents hostility towards parental figures because of insignificant parental attachment often leads to low self-esteem in adolescence, which seems to result in deviant behavior to compensate for their insecurities. A large population of adolescents were surveyed in the National Educational Longitudinal Study, which indicated that both high parental support and parental monitoring were related to greater self-esteem and lower risk behaviors (Parker; Benson, 2004). Research also supports that African-American, European-American, and Mexican-American children and adolescents that have secure attachments with their parents have a more positive sense of self esteem and reported less involvement in anti-social behaviors than their less securely attached peers (Arbona; Power, 2003; Stevenson, 2009).
Such a pattern of inadequate relationships and deviant behavior may lead adolescents to become juvenile offenders with severe mental and personality disorders. In addition, research has shown that child abuse is also a predictor of mental illness, such as depression and psychopathology (Stevenson, 2009). According to the study conducted in Family Environment and Adult Attachment as Predictors of Psychopathology and Personality Dysfunction Among Inpatient Abuse Survivors, 'Because protection is the primary biological and evolutionary function of family caregivers, childhood abuse may be especially traumatic when it occurs within the context of family attachment relationships' (Riggs; Sahl; Greenwald; Atkison; Paulson; Ross, 2007, p. 578) Therefore, child abuse and insecure models of attachment typically result in a child developing low self-esteem, interpersonal problems, increased rates of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, somatization, personality disorders, and other psychological difficulties (Riggs; Sahl; Greenwald; Atkison; Paulson; Ross, 2007). For instance, low family cohesion and high conflict and/or control has been linked to depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and histrionic personality disorder in college and community samples of child abuse survivors (Riggs; Sahl; Greenwald; Atkison; Paulson; Ross, 2007).
Research suggests that dependent personality disorder was related to high levels of family control and low levels of expressiveness and independence; High family conflict and disorganization may characterize the early family experiences of patients diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Preoccupied adult attachment style is characterized by hyper activating strategies of coping and emotional regulation and has been linked to low self-control and tolerance, interpersonal dependence/reliance, as well as histrionic, dependent, and borderline personality traits (Riggs; Sahl; Greenwald; Atkison; Paulson; Ross, 2007). In dismissing'avoidant attachment is characterized by deactivating strategies and in nonclinical samples has been associated with substance abuse, somatization, and repressive, with possible links suggested to dissociation and narcissistic, schizoid, antisocial, paranoid, and obsessive'compulsive personality. Findings in nonclinical samples also have documented significant relationships between fearful'avoidant attachment and depression, somatic anxiety, substance abuse, dissociation, and paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal, avoidant, self-defeating, borderline, narcissistic, and obsessive'compulsive personality traits. High attachment anxiety and an inability to depend (fearful-avoidance) were related to paranoid, schizotypal, and borderline personality (Riggs; Sahl; Greenwald; Atkison; Paulson; Ross, 2007). Insecure attachment and most of the personality disorders share similar developmental antecedents (Brennan; Shaver, 1998).
Literature supports my hypothesis that childhood family environment and attachment contribute to deviant behavior. Inadequate attachment leads to hostility towards the parents, which results in the child developing low self-esteem. In order to compensate for their insecurities, adolescents are more likely to be influenced by delinquent peers, engage in deviant behavior, and develop psychological problems. Once mental health professionals recognize unhealthy parental attachments before the client reaches adolescence, intervention measures can become effective and reduce the likelihood of deviant behavior in adolescence and throughout their lives. Even though the relation between parental attachment and deviant behavior has been previously researched, I will be using the family systems theory, attachment theory, and data from the Kentucky Youth Survey in order to test my hypothesis.
The data for this study came from the Kentucky Youth Survey (KYS), which surveyed sixth through 12th grade adolescents on questions pertaining to their family, school, and community environment, relationships with parents and friends, involvement in violence and victimization, emotional health, and cigarette and alcohol use. Conducted through the University of Kentucky at the Center for Prevention Research, the KYS featured 53 questions, 265 variables, and a sample size of 26, 687 students; however, space constraints caused the sample size to be reduced to N=1,303 chosen at random. By using the KYS as secondary data, proxy measures were used in order to derive a hypothesis (Clayton; Wilcox, 2001).
The key independent variable for this study is inadequate parental attachment. Inadequate parental attachment is defined as an unsuccessful parent-child attachment as a result of abuse, neglect, and/or low and inconsistent parenting skills. Inadequate parental attachment is used over peer influence because parents and family were shown in the literature to represent a primary influence for future deviant behavior. In addition, family systems theory and attachment theory support the hypothesis that the greatest influence on children's development is parent-child relationships and attachments. In order to measure inadequate parental attachment, the parental attachment scale was created from the KYS data; the following variables were used in the parental attachment scale: (1) how often my parent(s) seems to understand me; (2) how often my parent(s) makes rules that seem fair to me; (3) how often my parent(s) knows where I am when I'm not at home; (4) how often my parent(s) knows who I am with when not at home; (5) how often my parent(s) is concerned with how am doing in school; (6) how often I share my thoughts and feelings with my parent(s); (7) how often I feel unwanted by my parent(s); (8) how often I do things with my parent(s); (9) how often my parent(s) punishes me by scolding me; (10) how often my parent(s) punishes me by grounding me. Respondents chose from a four-item Likert scale: 1 ('never'); 2 ('almost never); 3 (sometimes); 4 ('most of the time'). However, variables 7, 9, and 10 were recoded to go into the opposing direction so that 1 = most of the time and 4 = never (Clayton; Wilcox, 2001).
Dependent Variables
This study explores four dependent variables, or outcomes of inadequate parental attachment according to various studies featured above in the literature review: deviant behavior defined as violence, substance abuse, low self-esteem, high peer attachment and behavioral problems.
In order to measure level of violence, the violence scale was created from the KYS data; the following variables were used in the violence scale: (1) ever shoved or tripped someone; (2) ever sat on someone or pinned someone down; (3) ever hit, punched, or slapped someone with hand or fist; (4) ever hit someone with object were holding or threw; (5) ever pulled, twisted, squeezed or pinched part of other's body; (6) ever laid trap for someone so he/she would get hurt; (7) ever been in fist fight; (8) ever used weapon during fight; (9) ever threatened to hurt someone with weapon; (10) ever used gun to threaten someone. Respondents either answered 'yes' (1) or 'no' (2) (Clayton; Wilcox, 2001).
Substance Use
In order to measure amount of substance usage, the substance scale was created from the KYS data; the following variables were used in the substance scale: (1) gotten drunk; (2) smoked marijuana; (3) used inhalants; (4) used cocaine. Respondents either answered 'yes' (1) or 'no' (2) (Clayton; Wilcox, 2001).
In order to measure low self-esteem, the esteem scale was created from the KYS data; the following variables were used in the esteem scale: (1) during past week, did not feel like eating: appetite was poor; (2) during past week, felt that I could not shake off blues even with help from family & friends; (3) during past week, had trouble keeping mind on what I was doing; (4) during past week, felt depressed; (5) during past week, thought my life had been a failure; (6) during past week, felt fearful; (7) during past week, my sleep was restless; (8) during past week, I talked less than usual; (9) during past week, felt lonely; (10) during past week, people were unfriendly; (11) during past week, had crying spells; (12) during past week, felt sad; (13) during past week, felt that people disliked me; (14) during past week, I could not get "going"; (15) during past week, felt I was just as good as other people; (16) during past week, felt that everything I did was an effort; (17) during past week, felt hopeful about the future; (18) during past week, I was happy; (19) during past week, I enjoyed life. Respondents chose from a four-item Likert scale: 1 ('rarely or none of time'); 2 ('some or little of time'); 3 (occasionally or moderate amount of time'); 4 ('most or all of time'). However, variables 15 through 18 were recoded to go in the opposing direction so that 1 = most or all of time and 4 = rare or none of time (Clayton; Wilcox, 2001).
Peer Attachment
In order to measure level of peer attachment, the esteem scale was created from the KYS data; the following variables were used in the peer attachment scale: (1) would like to be like my best friends; (2) I respect the opinions of my best friends; (3) my best friends would stick by me if I got into trouble; (4) I would stick by my best friends if they got into trouble; (5) people I think of as "best friends" also think of me the same way; (6) I fit in well with my best friends; (7) my best friends take interest in my problems; (8) I feel close to my best friends; (9) I feel lonely when I am with my best friends. However, variable 9 was recoded so that it could go in the opposing direction where 4 =strongly disagree and 1 =strongly disagree. Respondents chose from a four-item Likert scale that ranged from 1 ('strongly disagree') to 4 ('strongly agree') (Clayton; Wilcox, 2001).
Behavioral Problems
In order to measure the level of behavioral problems, the behavior scale was created from the KYS data; the following variables were used in the behavior scale: (1) received counseling because of behavior or moods; (2) been in hospital because of behavior/moods; (3) been in jail or detention center; (4) been in special class/program because of behavior problem. Respondents either answered 'yes' (1) or 'no' (2) (Clayton; Wilcox, 2001).
Control Variables
The control variables include race/ethnicity; age; and gender. Race/ethnicity is controlled because minority ethnic groups seem to be more inclined towards violence. Race was measured by respondents choosing the race/ethnicity that they considered themselves: (1) White; (2) Black; (3) Native American; (4) Mexican/Chicano; (5) Puerto Rican/other Latin American; (6) Asian; (7) White and Black; (8) Other. However, for this study, variables two through eight were recoded to 'nonwhite' (2). Age is controlled since the effects of inadequate parental attachment will be present at different points in the participants' lives. Respondents indicated their age, which ranged from 10 years of age to 20 years of age. Gender is controlled since females and males tend to express low self-esteem and deviance differently; in addition, many mental disorders are more prevalent among a certain gender. Females were coded to equal '0' and males were coded to equal '1'.
For each scale and variable, each '1' of the respondents' answers was counted in order to run and understand the bivariate and multivariate analysis. The table of descriptive statistics on page 13 further indicates the meaning of each variable and response: 50% of the sample is male and 50% is female; the average age of the sample is 14 years of age; 85% of the sample is white; more than half of the sample are highly attached to their parents; less than half of the sample are violent; a small amount of the sample use substances; almost half of the sample have high self-esteem; more than half are highly attached to their peers; and a minimal amount of the sample have behavioral problems.
Table 2, featured on page 14 illustrates the bivariate relations among the study variables. My hypothesis did not focus on the control variables of age, sex, and race; therefore, the following results will only focus on the independent and dependent variables. The bivariate analysis indicates there is a significant relationship at the .01 level (2-tailed) between parental attachment and adolescent violence, substance use, self-esteem, peer attachment, and behavioral problems. The amounts of violence, substance use, and behavioral problems each have a negative correlation with parental attachment. As parental attachment increases, the amount of violence decreases by .101, substance use decreases by .071, and behavioral problems decreases by .104. Self-esteem and peer attachment appear to have a positive correlation with parental attachment. As parental attachment increases, self-esteem increases by .503 and peer attachment increases by .125.
To test the effects of parental attachment on adolescent violence, substance use, self-esteem, peer attachment, and behavioral problems, while controlling for age, race, and sex, ordinary least squares (OLS) regression models were employed for each outcome variable, featured on page 15. Similar results as the bivariate analysis were found using this multivariate analysis. As parental attachment increased by one unit, violence decreased by .056, substance use decreased by .036, and behavioral problems decreased by .021, controlling for the age, race, and sex. In addition, as parental attachment increased by one unit, self-esteem increased by .956 and peer attachment increased by .127. All relationships were highly significant, therefore, supporting my hypothesis.
The results indicate that as youths' attachment with parents increases, violence, substance use, and behavioral problems decrease; peer attachment and self-esteem increase. Therefore, the KYS data supported my hypothesis for all dependent variables except for peer attachment. My hypothesis indicated that inadequate parental attachment leads to child hostility towards the parents, which tends to result in the child developing low self-esteem; in order to compensate for their insecurities, adolescents are more likely to be influenced by delinquent peers, engage in deviant behavior, and develop psychological problems. In other words, as parental attachment increased, adolescent violence, substance use, peer attachment, and behavioral problems would decrease, and self-esteem would increase. However, the results show that as parental attachment increases, so does peer attachment, which is logical because if a child develops a healthy attachment with parents, that child will have a better ability to form healthy relationships in adolescence and adulthood (Ecke; Chope; Emmelkamp, 2006).
Directions for future research can be applied in therapy, the criminal justice system, and childcare services. Once mental health professionals recognize unhealthy parental attachments before the client reaches adolescence, intervention measures can become effective and reduce the likelihood of deviant behavior in adolescence and throughout their lives, which could ultimately reduce delinquency and severe psychological problems throughout society. Limitations of this study include the reduced amount of data and variables from the KYS, and in the future, a less broad topic such as the impact of family violence on one specific deviant behavior can be explored. In conclusion, this study has been my first independent research project, and from this experience I have and will continue to learn and enjoy the places that research can take you.

On Thursday November 15 I visited the MESA Club at Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta, CA.
Rounding out Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope's 1-meter southern ring development, the final two enclosures were completed last week at Siding Spring Observatory.
It has been a while since I mentioned Virtual Sky. Development hasn't stopped. In fact, since my last post about it in April last year, it has gone from version 0.3.4 to 0.3.17. Over that time I've added new features and tweaked the code to speed it up. Amongst more recent features are:
Over the past summer I had the opportunity to undertake a summer placement at Cardiff University School of Physics and Astronomy through the Nuffield Science Bursary scheme, under the supervision of Dr Edward Gomez.
Two of three 1-meter LCOGT telescopes are being commissioned at our first Southern site at CTIO in Chile by Annie Hjelstrom, Vincent Posner, Kurt Vander Horst & Mark Crellin, assisted by local staff. The LCOGT team will have the third telescope in DOME-A on-sky very soon (see the update below).
Willie Koorts of the South Africa Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) put together a time-lapse movie of the development of the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telesope 1-meter telescope node at their site. The movie shows the site development and the creation of infrastructure. Three telescopes will be on their way to the site within the next couple of months!
Last night, October 1, 2012, was the first night of purely science operations for Las Cumbres Observatory's first 1-meter telescope. The telescope is run remotely and robotically, taking queued observations from the LCOGT "POND" database, and executing them.
A small team of Las Cumbres Observatory engineering and technical specialists arrived at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) in central Chile on September 27, 2012. Their job, to install and commission three LCOGT 1-meter telescopes.

That teacher is offensive to me. Doesn't that mean that they need to be more PC to spare my patriotic feelings?
Pitiful. No offense to any Art teachers out there, except those with the same mind-frame as this one, I am only expressing my colorful artsy side in language..."What a 'effen moron!" I guess that kind of explains why that teacher is not a history teacher. Jack
The people in her district need to ban together and demand the commie teacher be fired, and be deported to one of her commie countries. Or just exicute the teachers un-American ass
That "teacher" should definitly be needing to look for Other employment. I definitly would not want that teacher teaching my children! She is, of course entitled to her opinion, but the students are also entitled to not have to hear it!
Heard that today on am radio, about made me spit my sweet tea all over my dash board! Were do they get off saying/doing things like this, why do they mock the very thing and pepole who gave them the life they love and enjoy? Yet were the bad pepole! The common working person footing the bills and doing the right thing! I am so sick of all this socilalist commie filth streaming from these so called teachers mouth! And all the while nothing is done but a slap on the wrist, then they go back to indroctinating the childern of our country with there ill moral and un ethical views!!-sorry had to vent.
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." --George Washington
People get the government they deserve.
As presented, I agree with the comments above. However, I wonder why they don't show the actual picture the girl did? If I heard right they said it was a picture like this, but with dots (or something like that). I think we need to see the actual picture or at least tell us why they can't. If it was a picture of the american flag with God Bless America on it, I would guess it was the God part that the teacher had the problem with. Would love to know more.
I'm guessing the teacher was referring to the word God on it, not the flag itself. Still totally stupid and the teacher needs to be disciplined or let go.
"Good people drink good beer." Hunter S. Thompson
In California, students recite the pledge of allegiance every day "One Nation Under God!"!! If the teacher had protested the pledge as well, this argument would be valid. When asked what was offensive about the 13 year olds drawing of the flag, the teacher did not respond. It's time to do away with tenure and the teachers unions!!

It's going to be a belter of an occasion all round and I'm glad that both teams have everything to play for in the last game.
I think it's vital that England keep the ball for the first 20 minutes and make Ireland tackle.
The Irish forwards will be looking to get on top at the start and I expect a few high balls for Josh Lewsey to deal with. At a packed Lansdowne Road it will feel like 50,000 people are charging at him.
Talking about the venue, it's unlike any other ground. The fans are close to the pitch and are vociferous at the best of times, and I expect them to be even more so with a Grand Slam at stake. It will truly be a special atmosphere and the Irish supporters will cheer for every tackle, every line-out.
That's the reason why England must start well and cannot afford to go behind. If you trail at Lansdowne Road it's very difficult to get back at them.
We need to keep the fans quiet and the best way to do that is to start well and keep hold of the ball.
Looking back on England's previous performances, they have played marvellous rugby at times but need to be consistent over 80 minutes.
I'm confident they can win the Grand Slam, although I wouldn't put my house on it.

DOI: 10.11607/prd.00.0303
This case report describes the use of a subepithelial connective tissue graft to restore the gingival papillae and augment ridge soft tissues adjacent to a dental implant. The patient was referred for periodontic and prosthodontic evaluation after the placement of an implant--with the implant head 6.5 mm below the adjacent cementoenamel junction--in an area of inadequate bone volume with deficient interproximal papillae and ridge soft tissues. The resulting esthetic defect was restored by means of a combined technique that used a subepithelial connective tissue graft and an emergence profile-contoured crown. A 3-year clinical follow-up with complete regeneration of the gingival papillae is described.
