Year 2000 Computing Crisis:
Federal Reserve Is Acting to Ensure Financial Institutions Are Fixing Systems, But Challenges Remain
AIMD-98-248: Published: Sep 17, 1998. Publicly Released: Sep 17, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4841
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO evaluated the Federal Reserve System's (FRS) efforts to oversee that the 1,618 financial institutions it supervises successfully address the year 2000 computer problem.
GAO noted that: (1) FRS has been taking the year 2000 problem very seriously, devoting considerable resources and effort to ensure that the institutions it oversees mitigate year 2000 risks; (2) it also has been emphatic in alerting these institutions to the problem and has recently completed a detailed assessment of the industry's readiness and issued important year 2000 guidance in conjunction with other financial institution regulators; (3) further, FRS is planning to conduct additional readiness examinations between now and March 1999; (4) however, FRS, like the other regulators, still faces significant challenges in providing a high level of assurance that individual institutions will be ready for the year 2000; (5) the primary challenge is time; (6) with less than 16 months remaining until January 1, 2000, FRS, with a small number of examiners, must carefully track remediation efforts being carried out by 1,618 financial institutions, service providers, and vendors; (7) this time pressure is compounded by the fact that FRS was late in initiating its detailed assessments of the industry's year 2000 status and in issuing key guidance documents to banks to assist them in mitigating their year 2000 risks; (8) to alleviate this pressure and to better ensure its readiness to address upcoming challenges, it will be important for FRS to complete the development of its supervision plans to define in detail the tasks it must complete in the 16 months remaining; and (9) it will also be essential for FRS to develop a higher level of assurance that it has enough technically qualified staff, trained in a timely manner, to carry out its supervisory and evaluation responsibilities through the year 2000.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Each Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) revisited its supervisory review plan to assess the number and adequacy of resources required to monitor testing and contingency planning efforts at supervised institutions and, based on this review, FRBs added staff to their year 2000 teams. In addition, FRS agreed to defer information technology examinations should additional resources be required for the year 2000 effort. Finally, several FRBs implemented specific retention and bonus programs necessary to either hire or retain key staff involved in the year 2000 program.
Recommendation: The Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System should direct the reserve banks to revise their supervisory review plans by October 1, 1998, to include: (1) a determination of how many technical and other examiners they need to adequately oversee the year 2000 efforts of member banks, data processing servicers, and software vendors; and (2) a strategy for obtaining these resources and maintaining their availability.

From the Publisher"The authors' approach, tone, and structure are nearly flawless. They use excellent and thought-provoking examples, and a good distribution of sample problems. Students need to do the basic hand calculations in order to master the substantive meaning of statistical results, and this text puts them into that task. I would definitely adopt this text."—Richard Fancy, Wayne State University
"What makes Simple Statistics distinctive is its remarkable balance between extremely technical statistics texts that are not written in a student-friendly fashion and oversimplified texts. Miethe writes in an exceptionally readable style, challenging students without intimidating them. Another key strength is the book's use of actual crime data, demonstrating the real-world applications of major statistical concepts."—Kent Kerley, University of Alabama at Birmingham
"Throughout this book, the author explains the relevance of statistical techniques—not just the mechanics. The conversational style is engaging, encouraging students to keep reading and realize that they can master statistics. The book distinguishes itself from other texts by paring down what students are expected to learn."—Wayne J. Pitts, University of Memphis

X11 version of zblast, shoot 'em up space game
zblast is a shoot 'em up space game with a cool sound.
The goal of zblast is to shoot and destroy all enemy ships. When you get it before your ship is destroyed, you can go to a next stage (called "wave" in this game).
Unlike most of other shoot 'em up games, in zblast your ship can bear a fair amount of damage (at least 30 hits and you can gain extra energy during the game). It does not mean that you are safe -- you just need it. In fact, enemy shots are fast and the sky is FILLED with them. If you enjoy surviving a rain of laser beams by dodging them, you may need another package.
The most interesting part of zblast is its music. With the abstract graphics (simple line-only diagrams), zblast can provide a taste of cyber-space.
Two versions of the zblast program are available, one uses svgalib and one uses X11. This package contains X11 version of the game. The command is named "xzb" rather than "xblast" because there is already another xblast (a bomberman clone).

hi is anyone else no comfatable getting naked or bathing with husband / partner? iv had 3 kids and im preg again and im too embaressed to take my clothes off in front of my man. anyone else feel the same? how do we get around this?
body issues...
Comments (2)
I used to be really self-conscious about being naked around my husband in any setting (bed, shower, etc). It just took time. I have always been plus-sized, and he is always telling me he thinks I am sexy or loves my stomach or whatever. So, for me, it was just time.
If it helps, think of him as your doctor. It might work since we have to lose all modestly in front of all these strangers once we become pregnant! More people have seen my vagina in the last 10 days than have EVER seen it!
With DH since 1999, married on 10/10/10
Expecting our first little "gremlin" (team green!!) -12/17/13
I know it's weird having someone look at you -- but think of it like this; if he didn't think you were beautiful and amazing and wonderful and he loves you, then he wouldn't be with you. He loves you enough to have a baby with you (planned or surprise, it still counts!). That's what helped me (well, I got comfortable with my OH pretty quickly after we started doing the bump lol) but love yourself, love your man! Plus, cmalone627 is right - we will have no chance of hiding our bodies anymore while we're pregnant. My doc has seen it all; I don't care anymore. Just think positively, and things will be great. :]
Congrats on being pregnant, of course!! :D

So we are deeply moved by their enthusiasm and support of breast cancer awareness, Komen for the Cure, and Golden Girl Promotions.

U.S. Prisoner Unsung Player in Shalit Affair
It seems likely that Egypt bargained Israeli-American away as well
Gilad Shalit, 25, is a Jewish former Israeli soldier who was captured by Hamas more than five years ago and stored away somewhere in Gaza. Ilan Grapel, 27, is a Jewish former Israeli soldier now attending Emory Law School who a few months ago was arrested by Egypt under dubious charges of being an Israeli spy and stored away in a jail in Cairo; to this day, no indictment has been served against him. Yesterday, Prime Minister Netanyahu announced to the world that, thanks to Egypt's mediation, Hamas has agreed to release Shalit in exchange for the liberation of more than 1,000 Palestinians, many of them accused terrorists, currently languishing in Israeli jails. Much more quietly, it has been reported (scroll down to the second-to-last paragraph) that Grapel, too, is being freed as part of the deal. So Israel is getting more than it bargained for … unless it is getting exactly what it bargained for.
There is something fishy going on here. And it involves an American citizen.
Grapel has been detained for nearly four months. Because he entered Egypt with his American passport (he has dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship; his father is Israeli), he is under U.S. jurisdiction and is the United States' responsibility. Duly, he was able to meet with U.S. diplomats. And only last week, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta (previously head of the Mossad's U.S. counterpart, the CIA) visited Cairo in part for the express purpose of seeking Grapel's freedom.
Here is where it gets interesting. Panetta failed, but he was in Cairo—we now know—either at the same time or mere days before Israeli negotiator David Meidan—a former Mossad senior officer (who therefore must have worked with Panetta before) who was Israel's Shalit pointman—and Hamas officials were also in Cairo. They were negotiating not with the usual German mediation but with Egyptian mediation. Flash forward to yesterday morning, when reports appeared that Egypt was now raising the stakes vis-à-vis Grapel: extending his prison stay yet again and still without an indictment, accusing him of throwing fire bombs at Egypt's Interior Ministry building, and—wait for it—demanding the release of 78 Egyptian prisoners in Israeli jails in exchange for his freedom. That was yesterday morning; by yesterday evening, Grapel was quietly freed under the backdrop of the Shalit deal.
This is all speculation, but doesn't it seem possible that Grapel was held by Hamas and Egypt as a further bargaining chip, one who, all importantly, caught the attention not only of the Israelis but of the Americans? Actually, we almost know for a fact that Grapel was part of the bargaining, because otherwise there would be little reason to let Grapel go as part of the Shalit deal (the other explanation could be that Egypt wanted to bury the news of the release to save themselves the embarrassment, but that is a pretty contrived explanation). This would also explain the sudden burst of activity on the Grapel front yesterday morning, followed by the reversal yesterday evening: it could have been the Egyptians upping their leverage on the Americans so that the Americans would push the Israelis to strike a deal.
If Panetta were involved in the negotiating, then who else got what? The United States would like to see Hamas turn away from its alliance with Iran, which has never been less convenient seeing as it exists through Syria, where Hamas is headquartered, and Syria may well fundamentally change in the coming months. The United States might also be more eager than usual to see Hamas score this victory over its main rival, the Palestinian Authority (securing the release of one thousand Palestinians), given the recent goings-on at the United Nations.
If Grapel were a part of the deal, it would also suggest that Hamas got a far better deal than they would have gotten without Grapel, because they were able to exert additional bargaining power by appealing to the Americans. This seems plausible, too. We do know that previous negotiations put the number of prisoners exchanged in the 250-350 range, not the over 1,000 that will be released under this deal; on the other hand, in the earlier talks, many prominent figures who won't be released, such as Marwan Barghouti, were on the table. Getting a look at the prisoners being released may tell us more. Are any of them based in Egypt rather than the Palestinian territories? Do any of them pledge allegiance more to the Brotherhood?
This entire episode occured, of course, in the context of the close ties Hamas has enjoyed with the post-Mubarak Egyptian government, which earlier this year helped negotiate the (failed) Hamas-Fatah reconciliation and which has been sympathetic to Hamas' cousin organization, the Muslim Brotherhood. Did negotiations fail for almost five years and then succeed after only a few months not because of Shalit but because of Grapel? (Grapel was arrested about two weeks before the fifth anniversary of Shalit's kidnapping.) Was Egypt less a mediator then merely a part of Hamas' side?
Finally, this line of inquiry leads to a yet more tantalizing (if less consequential) one. Namely: is Grapel a spy? He has always seemed less Mossad and more particularly dumb Hitchcock protagonist, an idealistic bro who put photos of himself in Tahrir Square on his Facebook page and suddenly found himself caught up in intrigue he had nothing to do with ("he had a satellite phone like I'm an astronaut," his father memorably put it). At the same time, if you are Egypt, why hold him so long? We may have our answer: according to Meidan, the top-secret negotiations have been ongoing for several months—which is to say, likely since before Grapel's June arrest. Egypt may have arrested him and quickly realized that he was perfect leverage: someone they could both semi-plausibly accuse of spying for Israel (he had been an IDF paratrooper and had lied about being a journalist upon entry) and use to get the Americans involved. This is maybe what happened—probably, even.
But there is only one thing I feel I can state with confidence, and that is that there is something we have not yet been told.

By Dinesh Ramde Associated Press
NIAGARA, Wis. — A man suspected of opening fire on a group of young swimmers gathered along a riverbank was arrested Friday after he emerged from woods near the scene where three teenagers were slain and a fourth person was wounded.
Scott J. Johnson, 38, was dressed in camouflage when deputies confronted him following an all-night manhunt. He dropped his assault rifle as officers approached.
"We believe he was in the woods and near our officers, who were also in the woods all night," said Jerry Sauve, chief deputy sheriff in Marinette County.
Nine young adults had gathered at a railroad bridge to go swimming in the Menominee River when the gunman appeared Thursday afternoon and opened fire, authorities said.
Investigators have not determined a motive. The sheriff said there was no communication between the gunman and his victims.
Johnson, who is from the nearby town of Iron Mountain, Mich., was being held in jail to await an initial court appearance. He had not been formally charged, and the jail did not know if he had an attorney.
A judge in Michigan's Dickinson County on Friday ordered Johnson to stay away from a 24-year-old Kingsford, Mich., woman. She says he sexually assaulted her Wednesday after they went biking, then walked across the railroad bridge and into the woods in Wisconsin.
The order prohibits Johnson from following the woman, appearing at her home or work, or threatening her. Authorities did not return calls seeking comment on how the suspected assault might be related to the shootings, but the woman's father said Friday that she wasn't among the swimmers. The Associated Press does not name people alleging sexual assault unless they provide consent.
More than 100 law enforcement officers from at least 10 agencies were called in to search for the gunman. Authorities set up roadblocks and evacuated some homes in the northern Wisconsin area just across the state line from Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Sheriff Jim Kanikula said the shooter was only 7 to 10 feet from one victim when he fired.
"There's a saying up here that this is a great place to raise kids," said Randy Van Gasse, school superintendent in nearby Norway, Mich., where 17-year-old victim Tiffany Pohlson would have been a senior in the fall.
"That's been violated, and we don't know why," he said. "This is obviously a shock to everybody."
A woman who answered the door at a Kingsford, Mich., residence and identified herself as Johnson's mother said she was too distraught to speak with a reporter.
"They're not telling me nothing," she said tearfully. "I'm going crazy here. I wish they'd tell me something."
The other dead were identified as Anthony Spigarelli, 18; and Bryan Mort, 19. A fourth victim, 20-year-old Daniel Louis Gordon, was wounded. All of them were from Michigan.
Spigarelli's aunt, Teresa Spigarelli, remembered her nephew as "spunky, sassy." She said he was cocky even in fifth grade and handsome enough that he could have been a model.
Niagara is about 210 miles north of Milwaukee. A sign outside town calls the community a "city of scenic beauty."
Across the Menominee River is Iron Mountain and Kingsford, Mich. The cities are known for logging and tourism and have a combined population of about 15,000.

Lucille Stephens, Woody Stephens' Widow, Dies
Lucille Stephens, widow of Hall of Fame trainer Woody Stephens, died May 14 in Miami Lakes, Fla., after a lengthy illness, according to her nephew Harley Clemons. She was 93. She and Woody were married 60 years.
"When I read of the passing of Lucille Stephens, it brought back so many wonderful memories of good times spent with her and Woody," said Elizabeth Moran, owner of Brushwood Stables near Malvern, Pa. "She would always say, 'Wear your red, it will get you to the winner's circle.' And it did. She was an elegant lady, and I will always think of her fondly."
Services will be held Thursday, May 19, at 12:30 at Kerr Brothers Funeral Home on Harrodsburg Road in Lexington. She will be buried near her husband at Hillcrest Memorial Park in Lexington.

Well I suppose R/B has got to make some money to help pay for his new bank and new Bingo game.
I have the Evening and weekend phone deal with them and I am sure it used to start at 6pm at night and now starts at 7Pm.Of course I may have got that wrong I don't know.
If you have the phone deal with them what they charge for phoning in between times is pathetic.It is far cheaper using a mobile phone instead.
If you phone them and get any satisfaction out of it let us know how you got on.

The problem with Virgin is that, in many areas, including mine, they have a total monopoly of bundled services, and THEY KNOW IT. Even though we have a brand new fibreoptic supply, at the bottom of our drive, no one seems able to connect us to it. Infinity rollout is due at the end of the year, so perhaps I'll be able to get Virgin to NEGOTIATE, then!

Looks like Virginmedia is out to screw their customers.
Before you say that is a bit harsh I have not that long ago taken out a new contract with them for 18 months and now they will be wanting to charge me extra.
I thought a contract was just that.They tell me a price .I agree with it and we are both happy.
But Virginmedia does not see it this way.lets screw him for another £3 or £4 a month he is tied to us so will not want to leave.
We have to abide by their contract so how can they change it whenever they want.
I understand those that got those new Tivio boxes are going to pay the most with that going up to £4 or £5 a month on its own not counting the other increases,
Free Evening calls used to start at 6Pm and they have now moved that to 7Pm all call charges that are not free are going up in price as well.
And if you do not know how much they charge for calls you will be unpleasantly surprised by how expensive it really is.

I was on the LIRR train on my way home from school when a man sat down next to me and began trying to strike up a conversation. I was cordial, but then began ignoring him as he clearly started trying to hit on me. After about 15 minutes, he took his phone out, tried to casually hold it with his right arm (the side next to me), and slanted it up so that it was angled between my legs and up my dress. This all happened in seconds. Then, I heard the distinctive click of a camera sound.
I was stunned, but after a second or two I stood up and immediately started screaming at the man in front of the other passengers. In my shock that something like this had actually happened to me, it was cathartic to stand in front of him and all the other passengers and recount what he had done. I called him a "disgusting pig" and said "how dare you take an upskirt picture of me." I wanted all the other passengers to know what he did, in hopes that if nothing else, he would be embarrassed by his perverted act.
Being a law student, I knew that immediately I wanted to create a record of what had happened. After I told the person who had taken tickets for my car, and he alerted the conductor (who, in turn, alerted the police), I turned around and walked back towards the man. He had plugged in his phone to charge it and while he was talking on it I held up my phone and took two pictures of him, while saying "how do you like having your picture taken."
Although he got off the train at the next stop, I gave the police his pictures and all the information the man had volunteered when he was trying to hit on me on the train. He gave me his nickname (Alejandro) and his Myspace name. I also had gotten contact information from a man sitting in front of me who had witnessed the incident.
Two days later, I took the morning train out of Jamaica on the Ronkonkoma line. A few stops before I got off, Alejandro, the SAME man who had taken a picture up my dress, came up to me and sat down right across from me. Instantly, I was fearful and started looking around to see my options if I had to get away from him or if I needed to alert someone. Remarkably, he didn't seem to recognize me at all.
I took advantage of this, and when he hit on me, using all the same lines as he had before, I played into it. I kept my head to the side so he could only see my profile and kept my sunglasses on, in case he suddenly had a flash of recognition. I found out his full name, his job, where he lived, and his phone number. I told him fake details about my life when he asked and stared at his phone every time he took it out so that I could give the police its exact details.
When I got off the train, I immediately contacted the detective the police department had put me in touch with and gave him all the information.
I ended up setting up a fake "date" with the man and the detectives I worked with were able to catch him. He had 17 prior convictions on his record, ranging from more benign crimes to violent ones. He also had a warrant out because he had skipped out on his probation meeting. I cooperated with the Assistant District Attorney and told my story to aid in his conviction of "Unlawful Surveillance."
Women should feel that they have the right and ability to embarrass their harassers; but, it's also important to follow through and report the incident with the police. Use your words, use your cameras, and use your ability to share your stories.

This guy sure thinks he's a hotshot when he's on the end of this big fancy phallic crane. So he decides to catcall a few ladies on their way to the train station this morning. As soon as I told him I was taking his photo for Hollaback fame, he didn't feel so good anymore. And then all his buddies started laughing at him.
This happens a lot at this construction site. You stay classy, Carroll Gardens!
Submitted by Katharine
There was a construction site near my house for several months. I had been avoiding walking near it whenever possible, taking the longer route between my home and my bus stop. One day I had the *audacity* to just take the faster way home. I figured that if I just walked fast and pretended to be on the phone that I would be safe. Wrong.
Several men, both on the ground and on the building, started to yell at me. A couple of them even approached the fence to get as close as possible, making vulgar gestures and remarks.
When I got home I made this sign and posted it late at night. I used zip ties to secure it to their fence, facing the busy street in front of the construction site. They didn't manage to get the sign down until 9am – long after all the rush hour traffic got to read my message.
On the back of the sign, I included the definition of sexual harassment and a special message for the assholes that made me feel unsafe in my own neighbourhood.

I was sitting on the train one day and had my ipod on blast not paying attention to anything, mind you that day I decided to wear a skirt, a guy walks in wearing a yankees hat very low to hide his face i found this very strange, he sat across from me and was looking at me for a period of time . I noticed his arms were low and i looked at his hands , there I saw a camera phone, i had just been up skirted. I was I shocked I did not know what to do .

This is (a sadly very blurry) photo of a subway masturbator I took on friday night at the Carroll street station. My friend (visiting from boston) and I were heading into the city to meet up with a group for drinks and dancing. Being a friday evening I knew the train would be a while so we sat down on the bench. Across the platform this man was also lounging on a bench. He had made himself comfortable- his bags were strewn around the bench and he was slouched across two seats. Upon seeing us he yelled across the platform "hello ladies" to which I gave him a nod as it had been relatively polite. As it turns out he had bothered my friend as she left the station earlier that evening- asking her where she was going, could he come along etc.
So we ignore him, talk about our new post grad lives blah blah when I hear a rustling which caused me to look at the tracks (I am terrified of getting rabies after a whole other story involving prospect park, a rabid bat and my friends vagina) to make sure nothing is climbing out (I'm aware this is crazy). As I look I notice the man across the platform masturbating furiously! I immediately blurted out, "He's masturbating!" At first I didn't think my friend believed me- so she looked over and I began rummaging for my phone. Of course he had heard me, and knew we saw him but it wasn't until I got my phone out that he covered up! "No pictures" he smirked. To which I responded "no masturbating in public!"
It took me about a minute to even find the camera setting and the pictures aren't good, but I wanted to freak him out. I then loudly told my friend about hollaback and how useful these pictures will be to the cops when I contact them. Seeing that my pictures were so bad she pulled out her own camera, snapped a few which she intends to touch up so they are more visible.
Thinking that was over, we started talking about street harassment. How common it was in the city. Her own terrifying experiences with men in cars. Then we heard some muttering and looked across the platform to find him at it again! Looking straight at us and mumbling "I like you both… Boobs… Bubble" (couldn't really understand him). Again we yell at him- there are more people in the station now so I am hoping we can embarrass him. No such luck. We take out our cameras. He covers himself again. Still for the next 30 minutes that we wait for the train he keeps talking to us "I love you… Bubble.. Etc". Now the normal thing would have been to move but I imagined that as backing down so we stayed, I yelled at him a few times, pretended to have reception and called the cops etc.
The train finally comes, we get to the city and I immediately try and report him. Of course no one is picking up and I keep mysteriously being redirected. My friend is on her phone trying to find the group we were meant to hang out with. It turns out that they had had to leave, as one girl had been roofied (she was thankfully with observant friends who took care of her).

I thought I was wearing a particularly unflattering outfit to work that day, but apparently Mr. S. didn't agree. He was sitting on a bench on the subway platform and slapped my ass as I walked past him on the subway platform. When I yelled at him, he jumped up and started screaming at me and saying he was going to throw me in front of the next train. All the men on the platform started to surround him, one woman grabbed me and pulled me back, and other passengers got two police officers. He was chasing after me screaming about how he was going to kill me when the police approached him from behind. He told the cops I was lying – why would he touch a woman he doesn't even know? That's a fantastic question, Mr. S.

Sweet Lips Art and Gift Gallery
103 Church St
Lake Mills Wisconsin 53551United States
(920) 648-1000
Editor's Review
Midwest Living Recommends
Drop in this coffee shop cum art gallery for pleasant browsing and a scoop of gelato.
Sweet Lips Arts and Gift Gallery shares a first-floor space with Ephraim Faience Pottery, a well-known Arts and Crafts-style studio in Lake Mills, Wisconsin. Sweet Lips is markedly different from its neighbor, showcasing over 200 Wisconsin and American artists whose work will satisfy all tastes and budgets. (You can find anything from a $15 mug to a $10,000 sculpture.) An Ancora coffee shop on the premises serves espresso drinks, gelato and smoothies. The selection changes constantly, but on the day we visited, we found plenty to love: knit wool cup koozies ($3) cut from used sweaters; custom-designed inlaid wood golf putters with Asian symbols ($150-$210); glass fruit ornaments ($26); metal Thunderbird and Cadillac mailboxes ($325); ceramic sunflower and poppy bird baths ($160); and a pewter fish business card holder ($21). Given its wide variety of merchandise and pleasant coffee shop, Sweet Lips is quite popular among both locals and summer visitors. Book readings are held in the gallery, and a local knitting group meets here regularly. It's an especially good stop for Christmas and special-occasion gifts.

Capo designed the Thermo Roubaix Skull Cap for the classic 45-55° temperature range. This means it is a fairly low volume hat that fits under your helmet without issue and offers protection in the most popular temperature zone of the offseason. The interior of the hat features Thermo Roubaix hollow core fleece which is warm, cozy and comfortable. The elastic exterior makes for an exacting fit and prevents bunching of material. Simply put, it's a great three season cap. To keep things to a minimum, the cap is designed in one color and one size.

Photo of the Week: Greening Mozambique
April 02, 2014
An environmentally and economically sustainable agroforestry program is catalyzing rural development in Mozambique.
Workers at a tree nursery in Mozambique's Niassa Province tend pine seedlings destined for abandoned and degraded farmlands in the region. Once planted, these trees will help rehabilitate the soil while signaling a new future for rural communities.
Through the Agro-Forestry Village Program, TechnoServe is working to develop a plantation forestry industry in Mozambique that promotes sustainable land use, improved agricultural practices and rural economic development. The growing industry is attracting new investments and generating thousands of wage-paying jobs, both on forestry plantations and in new small businesses that are cropping up to support the sector
Adopting an integrated approach, the Agro-Forestry Village Program is also helping farmers in the targeted regions transition from subsistence to commercially-oriented agriculture. With support from the U.S. Department for Agriculture under Food for Progress, the program aims to break the cycle of poverty for 60,000 workers, farmers and their family members.
Learn more about our agroforestry work in Mozambique.

Corporate Profile
Our history began during the Great Depression of the 1930s and the genesis of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield movement when our predecessor companies were established to help Pennsylvania's residents pay for health care.
To ensure the availability of funds to pay for hospital and medical services, respectively, a hospital association based in Pittsburgh sponsored the formation of an organization later known as Blue Cross of Western Pennsylvania (now Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield). The Pennsylvania Medical Society backed the founding of Pennsylvania Blue Shield (now Highmark Blue Shield). In 1996, the two Blue plans were consolidated, forming Highmark Inc. Highmark is now one of the largest health insurers in the United States.
These two plans were unique organizations from the outset nonprofit corporations structured along traditional business lines. Without shareholders to satisfy, margins were held in reserve, applied to subsidize the cost of coverage for poor health risks, or reinvested in the business.
Leading the way
As independent organizations from the mid-1930s to the mid-1990s, Blue Cross of Western Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania Blue Shield introduced several innovations, including a children's health insurance program that became the model for the national CHIP program and a dedicated program for seniors that predated Medicare, which helped to ensure access to health care services for the widest possible cross section of the community.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware, founded in Wilmington, Delaware in 1935, signed an affiliation agreement with our company in 2010, and the affiliation was approved in late 2011. To reflect its relationship with Highmark, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware became Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Delaware (Highmark Delaware) in 2012.
We continue to lead the way in innovative products, programs and services for our members, providers and the industry.

The lecture ended with open forum when audience members asked the panel of educators from Beekmantown, Keeseville and Plattsburgh schools questions related to school policies against bullying.
The educators agreed bullying has been an issue for students at any age.
"This is not just a middle school and high school problem," said Keeseville Elementary School principal Kevin Hulbert.
The entire panel advocated listening to the students and utilizing mental health surveys in the classroom that can identify students mental perspectives.
The problem has not only worried educators and mental health officials, but parents as well.
Marla Wolkowicz, president of the Plattsburgh High School Community School Organization, said concerned parents should talk to other parents who may have had similar experiences. She said parents should come together and stand up for the child being bullied.
"Give them a sense of self and reassure them we are here," she said. "We are all in the situation together, and we all want the same outcome."
However, bullying can be hard to immediately identify, Bobbett said.
"A bully thrives on secrecy. Until we can break that code of silence, we are not going to be able to intervene," he explained. "Sometimes you have no idea why a student is behaving this way, and neither do they."
For more information about bullying, contact the Clinton County Health Department at 565-4840.

I just got a new tablet (Samsung Series 7 with Windows 8 ) and have started to load some stuff on it (music, docs, etc.) Since it's just a 128 GB hard drive (I'm used to my laptop's 300 GB), I was thinking about compressing my C:\ drive to save space. Have any of you done this before? Do you know of any possible problem (of note might be that my C:\ drive is also bitlocker encrypted)? Would I be better off just purchasing a nice, large external drive?

I've always been a bit paranoid, and, after having encrypted my computers for a few years now without any problems, I really just do it to (a) make me feel secure and (b) just in case I loose it somewhere people don't go snooping around my email and stuff
as noted, compressing is just a bad idea overall.
besides that, why have you encrypted it ? do you have sensitive secret documents from work on it or something ? as that's the only reason it would be necessary to encrypt a drive, and it'll just lead to potential troubles down the road.

Episodes Of 'The Simpsons' To Be Edited Following Japanese Nuclear Crisis
Via Entertainment Weekly:
… Read the rest
Japan's nuclear power plant crisis is no laughing matter in Springfield: Networks in several European countries are reportedly reviewing episodes of "The Simpsons" for any "unsuitable" references to nuclear disaster.
An Austrian network has apparently pulled two eps, 1992's "Marge Gets a Job" and 2005's "On a Clear Day I Can't See My Sister," which include jokes about radiation poisoning and nuclear meltdowns, respectively.
Al Jean — exec producer of the animated Fox comedy featuring inept family man/nuclear power plant worker Homer Simpson — tells EW that he can appreciate the concern.
"We have 480 episodes, and if there are a few that they don't want to air for awhile in light of the terrible thing going on, I completely understand that," says Jean, citing the previous example of the 1997 episode "Homer Versus the City of New York" that was pulled after 9/11 because it included key scenes at the World Trade Center.

'Demon Squirrel' Stars In New Russian Anti-Alcoholism Campaign (Video)
A Russian cartoon on alcoholism featuring a red-eyed "demon squirrel" with "the shakes" has had more than a million views on YouTube. The squirrel rants about "chasing spiders up the walls" with a friend, who then murders his wife. The public information ad has created a buzz word, "kudyapliki" — imaginary creatures the squirrel and his friend want to hunt during their binge. "Are you on the booze yourself?" he asks at the end. "I'll be seeing you."
The Cartoon Adventures Of Vladimir Putin
My favorite new cartoon is Vladimir Putin Action Comics, about the in-office adventures of the former president and current prime minister of Russia. The ultimate lesson is that within the exterior of a hard, authoritarian man lies a soft, fuzzy center.
Famous TV Cartoon Characters As Skeletons
Artist Michael Paulus has skeletal versions he created of 22 cartoon icons on his website:
Writes Michael Paulus:

Animation was the format of choice for children's television in the 1960s, a decade in which children's programming became almost entirely animated. Growing up in that period, I tended to take for granted the distortions and strange bodies of these entities.These Icons are usually grotesquely distorted from the human form from which they derive.
I decided to take a select few of these popular characters and render their skeletal systems as I imagine they might resemble if one truly had eye sockets half the size of its head, or fingerless-hands, or feet comprising 60% of its body mass.
These characters have become conventions that are set, defined, and well-known personas in our culture. Being that they are so commonplace and accepted as existing I thought I would dissect them like science does to all living objects — trying to come to an understanding as to their origins and true physiological make up.

Tea Party Comics
Editorial cartoonist Ward Sutton gave the Boston Globe's comics page a tea-party-friendly makeover; "There's a growing concern among a certain segment of the country that the comics page is out of step with mainstream values." Check out the patriotic versions of strips such as Calvin and Hobbes:
Everybody Draw Muhammad Day! Threat
"Everybody Draw Muhammad Day" is a satirical cartoon that Molly Norris had drawn in response to the censorship of South Park's episode featuring Muhammad.
With constant threats sent to artists who have depicted images of Muhammad, Norris is no exception. Anwar al-Awlaki ranted in Inspire, an English-language Al Queda magazine, about the potentially fatal results if such artists continue to draw blasphemous caricatures.
He has most recently added Norris to hit list. The NY Daily News details:
… Read the rest
A CHARISMATIC terror leader linked to the botched Times Square car bomb has placed the Seattle cartoonist who launched "Everybody Draw Muhammad Day" on an execution hit list.
Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki — the radical who has also been cited as inspiring the Fort Hood, Texas, massacre and the plot by two New Jersey men to kill US soldiers — singled out artist Molly Norris as a "prime target," saying her "proper abode is hellfire."
FBI officials have notified Norris and warned her they consider it a "very serious threat."
In an English-language Al-Queda magazine that calls itself "Inspire," Awlaki damns Norris and eight others for "blasphemous caricatures" of the Prophet Muhammad The other cartoonists, authors and journalists in Awlaki's cross hairs are Swedish, Dutch and British citizens.

[author: Tiffany Blofield ]
I am going to Paris in a couple of weeks, so the recent $100 million judgment in favor of the Paris based Hermès International SCA ("Hermès") piqued my interest. Unlike my prior post Stealing Trademarks Can Land You in Jail, the Hermes case involved civil claims brought against individuals operating a network of Internet websites offering to sell counterfeit Hermès products.
The counterfeiters registered at least 34 domain names, including several with the word Hermès along with its bag names: Birkin and Kelly. Hermès sells two handbags named after famous actresses. The Birkin bag was named after actress and singer Jane Birkin. I saw an episode of "Sex and the City" this weekend where Samantha was fired for using her client's name (Lucy Liu) to go to the head of a list with a two year wait to obtain the coveted bag. The Kelly bag was coined after actress and Princess of Monaco Grace Kelly covered her pregnant stomach with a Hermès bag. These bags sell from $6,000 to $150,000.
When the defendants failed to answer the complaint filed by Hermès, the court entered a default judgment and permanent injunction. In addition to trademark counterfeiting, infringement and dilution, the court also entered judgment on the cybersquatting claim. Cybersquatting involves registering or using a domain name with the bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of another's trademark. In other words, the defendants were selling knock-off products through these domain names. The court's order also provides that upon receiving notice Internet search engines (e.g., Google) and social media websites (e.g., Facebook) are required to de-index and remove infringing domain names and websites from any search results pages. This type of relief will likely be requested more frequently by litigants with Internet shopping's growing popularity.
Other fashion designers have, and will continue to, enforce their trademark rights and work to shut down counterfeiters. Indeed, there is another counterfeit handbag battle pending before the Second Circuit. Fendi Adele SRL ("Fendi") is arguing that it can obtain enhanced damages from an alleged counterfeit merchandise seller's conduct without showing that the conduct was willful. This battle (going back to 2006) is a topic for a blog post on another day.
