POINT PLEASANT — Prestera is moving closer to establishing its Laurelwood Recovery Home for men in Mason County.
According to Kim Miller, spokesperson for Prestera, the organization has two possible properties identified for possible lease in Mason County and are awaiting inspection results at this time.
Miller wanted to reassure the community, saying: "It may seem to the community that we are moving slowly…trust that that is not the case. We have to be sure we have a property we can live with when we lease because we are likely looking at a long-term lease arrangement."
After the property is secured, the next steps will include renovations that will likely include installing a sprinkler system, fire alarm system, video surveillance equipment and getting furnishings. Prestera will be posting jobs, advertising jobs, interviewing/selecting staff and training that staff while the renovations are underway, Miller said.
Finding residents will be the last step and Miller added she didn't anticipate having any problems with that because Prestera already has two, short-term recovery programs in Kanawha and Cabell counties where it helps Mason County residents.
Prestera operates these similar recovery homes, also called Laurelwood, in Huntington and Charleston - facilities which are basically homes to help those with addiction issues transition back into society and maintain their recovery. The home in Mason County will be a test, as it is the first of its kind in a less populated area.
Last year Prestera was approved for a $200,000 grant to operate the recovery home for men who have addiction issues but are at a high level of recovery. Prestera CEO Karen Yost said that $200,000 would be to operate the facility for one year and then if successful she would reapply for the grant. She added she felt if the program was a success, it would be more likely to continue to get funded and be sustainable.
Prior to applying for the grant, Prestera went to the community in Mason County to gauge support and received nearly 1,000 letters of support from government agencies, the Mason County Anti-Drug Coalition and residents among others.

French native certified translator. Precise, reliable and experienced in translations from English (Us and British) to French in technical, business, marketing, IT, legal, travel, food and fashion areas, Apps and websites localizations. I am recognized by and declared to the French Administration as a translator, producing invoices of my work for your business bookkeeping needs (my tax numbers are Siren n° 799 636 980 and Siret n° 799 636 980 00010). I can assist you by translating and writing French-language texts that are more relevant to a French audience, with the proper Gallic « tournure », twist. The art of translation is as old as written literature. Translation must take into account constraints that include context, the rules of grammar of the two languages, their writing conventions, and their idioms. A common misconception is that there exists a simple word-for-word correspondence between any two languages, and that translation is a straightforward mechanical process; such a word-for-word translation, however, cannot take into account context, grammar, conventions, and idioms. To be a good translator, it is necessary to understand the internal system of a language and the context of the entire text being translated. Thus, the translator will be able to produce the same effect in both languages. Very aware of the new leading technologies, my extensive exposure to the English language from an early age and my years of experience as a translator are my strongest points. You'll get a turnkey file, fully edited and produced and ready for immediate use. Prompt Service: Turnarounds of under 24 hours! Prompt communication, available in a variety of means.

Internet Draft IMAP Profile for Voice February 20, 2002 1. Overview In the open standards arena, IMAP 4 is the protocol most commonly identified for use by a TUI for access to messages in a voice mailbox. IMAP4 was developed primarily as an access mechanism to text-based email and has evolved in many ways to support multi-media content. The protocol is extensible and a large number of extensions have been made or are needed to full support the TUI experience of voice messaging. SMTP used for the transmission of voice messages from a telephone answering application needs to be optimized through use of various extensions and new conventions to perform at a level required for a large distributed system. Greeting and spoken name play needs to be provided, either through LDAP, LDAP extensions, or pointers to alternate streaming play mechanisms. IMAP4 limitations fall into two broad categories, performance and functionality. Most of these can be addressed by specific implementation choices, standards extensions, and standardized conventions shared between the message store and the client. Many limitations of commercial message store solutions are not IMAP protocol issues, but rather underlying logic necessary to support the voice mail user experience. Lucent's proprietary message server supports these functions today and will continue to support these mechanisms when delivered over standard protocols. Vaudreuil Expires August 20, 2002 [Page 3]
Internet Draft IMAP Profile for Voice February 20, 2002 2. IMAP Issues 2.1 Performance Issues 2.1.1 Real-time playback The IMAP protocol itself does not provide streaming in the strict definition of the term. It does provide for the incremental download of content in blocks. Most IMAP clients do not support this behavior and instead download the entire contents into a temporary file to be passed to the application. There are several approaches to achieve real-time playback. The first approach is to implement an IMAP client that can pass data incrementally to the application as it is received from the network. The application can then read bytes from the network as needed to maintain a play buffer and not require the full download of contents. This approach may require server-side development to efficiently support partial download. (Avoid re-opening file and seeking to requested pointer) Alternately, the proposed IMAP channel extension can be used by the client to request that the servers make the selected content available via an alternate transport mechanism. In this way a client can ask the server to make the voice data available to the client via a streaming media protocol such as RTSP. This requires support on the client and server of a common streaming protocol. Third, given sufficient bandwidth between client and back-end data store, an implementation may download the entire contents before playing without noticeable latency. Combined with client-side caching to avoid re-fetches, this strategy may work with existing message servers. It is clear that a choice be made common to the server and the client to provide this functionality. 2.1.2 Data Size Inflation due to Text Based Transport Standard IMAP4 uses a text-based data representation scheme where all data is represented in a form that looks like text, that is, voice data must be encoded using "base 64" into a transport encoding that adds 30% to the size of a message. When downloading or appending messages to the server, substantial additional bandwidth is utilized. Proposed Solutions Vaudreuil Expires August 20, 2002 [Page 4]
Internet Draft IMAP Profile for Voice February 20, 2002 Where IMAP channel is appropriate, the external channel may be binary capable; that is; the external access may not require re-encoding. Such mechanisms as HTTP, FTP, or RTSP are available for this download. The IMAP binary extension standards proposal extends the IMAP fetch command to retrieve data in the binary form. This is especially useful for large attachments and other binary components. Binary in conjunction with a streaming client implementation may be an attractive alternative to the Channel extension. 2.2 Functional Limitations In addition to performance challenges, there are a number of functional deficiencies in the IMAP protocol. 2.2.1 Mailbox Summary (Per-context counters in mailbox status command) The common TUI prompt "you have two new voice messages, six unheard messages, and one new fax message" requires more information than is made available by IMAP. The IMAP status command provides a count of new and total messages with standardized attributes extracted from the message headers. This pre-determined information does not include information about the message type. Without defined conventions to the status command, a client would have to download the header for each message to determine its type. (Are flags made available through the list command? Or do they need to be queried independently?) In standards-land, there is an effort do define an extensible mechanism for sending arbitrary message summary data in the LIST command. With proper MTA support for the necessary message-context attribute and support for reading the flags, a single command can extract enough data to count the messages in various categories. For adequate performance, the MTA must pre-parse the messages to extract the necessary information into an index for this request as messages are deposited. Without the standards, it is possible to use multiple virtual folders to achieve similar functionality. The "inbox" can be sub-divided into virtual unheard, new, unheard fax, and new fax message sub-folders. A folder status command issued against each sub-folder would yield the appropriate count. An MTA may implement these as truly separate folders or may present these as virtual folders to the client while storing the messages in a single inbox. 2.2.2 Sort by message context Voice mailboxes commonly present new voice messages first and then new fax messages within a single logical queue. This requires the ability to sort the messages by message context. Vaudreuil Expires August 20, 2002 [Page 5]
Internet Draft IMAP Profile for Voice February 20, 2002 In standards-land, there is an effort do define an extensible sort mechanism for sorting on arbitrary header contents. An alternative is for the client to download the headers of all messages and perform a local sort. This works where mailboxes have fewer than a couple-dozen messages. A further alternative uses separate virtual folders to hold messages of different types and status, using the client to construct the expected user experience. 2.2.3 QUOTA by message context Voice mail systems' mailboxes commonly contain voice and fax messages. Sometimes, such systems also support E-mail messages (text, text with attachments) in addition to voice messages. Similarly to the requirement for sort by message context - - quota management is also required per message context. One possible use case is to prevent multiple (large) messages of one type (e.g. E-mail messages) to consume all available quota so that messages of other type (e.g. voice or fax messages) cannot be further deposited to the mailbox. In standards-land, there is an effort to define an extension to the QUOTA IMAP command to support multiple message contexts. (In addition, there is a parallel effort to enhance the SMTP SIZE extension for the same purpose). 2.2.4 Status of multiple mailboxes Extension mailbox support requires the ability to efficiently status a mailbox other than the one currently logged into. This facility is required to support submailboxes, where a common feature is to check whether other submailboxes in the same family group have new messages. Current mechanisms are limited to logging into each of set of mailboxes, checking status, logging out, and repeating until all submailboxes are statused. 2.2.5 Outbox, Sent Items, Delete Items, Expired items, Drafts IMAP provides only a single standardized folder inbox. Applications that provide features such as check receipt, deleted message recovery, resave, and others require the ability to access messages in pre- determined mailboxes with specific behaviors. This functionality does not require new protocol per-se, but standardized usage and naming conventions necessary for interoperability. It required that the server Vaudreuil Expires August 20, 2002 [Page 6]
Internet Draft IMAP Profile for Voice February 20, 2002 provide the underlying logic to support these special folders including automatic insertion, scheduled copying, and periodic deletion. 2.2.6 CLID Restriction / Disclosure authorization Many calling features are dependent upon collected caller-ID information. Trusted clients such as the TUI, WUI, and WAP may have access to restricted caller-ID information for such purposes as callback. Untrusted clients must not receive this information. A mechanism for communicating "trust" between the client and the server is required to deliver this information to the end-user when appropriate. Some IMAP 4 servers can be configured to recognize certain clients by IP address and apply necessary CLID restriction treatment such as hiding addresses where CLI restriction has been indicated in the message. For systems operating in a closed network, the system may rely upon serving only trusted clients that protect the identity of the sender based on per-message markings. This usage requires custom proxies to use for Internet-facing services such as downloads by PC thick-clients. 2.2.7 Greeting Access and Play Voice messaging systems store multiple audio greetings files per user to play upon answering the phone. This information is logically directory information, but the size, access patterns, and streaming requirements exceed the capabilities of more directory access protocols and underlying servers. Rather than create a new specialized store, it is common to store greetings as messages in a hidden or special folder. As such, it is natural to use the IMAP protocol for access and update of these greetings. This provides the ability to update the greeting easily using the IMAP command. Access to the greetings requires a form of super-user access to log into the called party mailbox and extract the greeting. Through conventions, a given server or set of servers identified by IP address or login password may be granted privileged access to the mailbox contents. 2.2.8 Atomic Commit of Telephone Answering Messages into Inbox Voice messaging service has provided a high degree of reliability and performance for telephone answering messages. The expectation is that once the caller has hung-up, the messages is in the mailbox and available for review. Traditional Internet mail architecture suggests these messages should be sent to the mailbox via SMTP. This approach has two limitations. The first and most manageable is that the message forwarding may take more time than is tolerable by the subscriber. The second is that the message may fail to be delivered to the mailbox, and Vaudreuil Expires August 20, 2002 [Page 7]
Internet Draft IMAP Profile for Voice February 20, 2002 because there is no way to return notice to the caller, the message is "lost". The standards community is working on an alliterative to SMTP called Local Message Transport Protocol. This protocol addresses a number of limitations in SMTP when used to provide atomic delivery to a mailbox. The failure modes in this proposal are carefully controlled, as are issues of per-message quota enforcement and message storage quota- override for designated administrative messages. An alternative approach is to mis-use the IMAP protocol slightly and use an IMAP append command to deposit a message directly into the subscriber's inbox. This append must be done by a special super-user with write permissions into the subscribers mailbox. Further, the message store must be able to trigger notification events upon insertion of a message into the mailbox via the Append command. The historic limitation on using IMAP4 for message sending involves the inability of IMAP to communicate a full SMTP envelope. For telephone answering, these limitations are not significant. 2.2.9 Multiple Access to Mailbox If the telephone answering application client uses IMAP4 for greeting access and message deposit, it is essential that the server provide support for simultaneous login. It is common in VoiceMail for an incoming call to be serviced by the telephone answering application client at the same time the subscribers is logged into their mailbox. Further, new applications such as WEB and WAP access to voicemail may entail simultaneous login sessions, one from the TUI client and one from the visual client. The standard does not preclude multiple accesses to a mailbox, but it does not explicitly support this practice. The lack of explicit support requires the server and client to adhere to a common set of practices and behaviors to avoid undesirable and unpredictable behaviors. RFC 2180 describes a candidate set of conventions necessary to support this multiple-access technique. It is not a standard. 3. Message Submission and Message Delivery Issues 3.1 Server-assisted user message forwarding It is common to forward messages, or to reply to messages with a copy of the attached content. Today such forwarding requires the sender to download a complete copy of the original message, attach it to the reply or forward message, and resubmit the result. For large messages, this represents a substantial amount of bandwidth and processing. For clients connected via long-thin pipes, alternatives are required. Vaudreuil Expires August 20, 2002 [Page 8]
Internet Draft IMAP Profile for Voice February 20, 2002 One approach is to define an extension to message submission to request the submission server to resolve embedded URL's within a message before relaying the message to the final destination. 3.2 Quota-by-context It is common in a unified messaging system to offer separate quota's for each of several message contexts to avoid the condition where a flood of email fills the mailbox and prevents the subscriber from receiving voice messages via the telephone. It is necessary to extend the protocols to support the reporting of the "mailbox full" status based on the context of the submitted message. Clear security issues are involved to prevent the mis-identification of a message context for the purpose of intentionally filling a subscribers mailbox. It is envisioned that the message submission protocol will support authentication of trusted submission agents authorized to submit distinguished messages. 3.3 Future Delivery Traditionally messages sent with "future delivery" are held in the recipients client "outbox" or equivalent until the appointed submission time. Think clients used for WEB or TUI do not have such persistent storage and must rely upon server-based outbox queues. Such support requires extensions to message submission protocols to identify a message as requiring queuing for future delivery. Extensions to IMAP4 or conventions are required to view and manipulate the outbound queue, for such purposes as cancelling a future message. Server support for managing such a queue is required such that message are sent when they are intended. 4. Notification 4.1 Notification Support Voicemail systems traditionally notify subscribers on certain events happening in their mailbox. For example, it is common to send an SMS, or a pager notification for new message arrival, when messages have been read (and are not considered "new" anymore), mailbox full etc. When implemented over IMAP-based message stores, voice mail system need to be notified about these events. Furthermore, when other applications are accessing/manipulating the mailbox, it is desirable that a notification component (which is sometimes part of the voicemail Vaudreuil Expires August 20, 2002 [Page 9]
Internet Draft IMAP Profile for Voice February 20, 2002 application) gets notifications from the message store about these events, so that it can produce the desired user notification. The standards community is working on a standard for "Simple Notification and Alarm Protocol (SNAP)" that defines the expected behavior of the message store for various events, much of them triggered by IMAP commands.

For example, a 50-something couple living in Santa Ana with an income of $65,000 a year will be able to get a policy covering 70 percent of their costs for about $900 a month. That's not cheap, especially compared with a similar policy advertised online today for $574.
But the devil is in the details.
First of all, if the couple's income were lower, say $40,000 a year, they would be eligible for tax credits that would reduce their monthly premiums.
But more importantly, the plan advertised today, in this case from Anthem Blue Cross, probably would not be available to someone who has a pre-existing condition. Finding a plan that would take someone who has a health history might be impossible, and it would certainly be more expensive. But insurance companies don't advertise those plans and generally don't reveal what the rate would be until after the consumer completes a detailed health survey.
More differences between a typical policy advertised today and one that will be sold through Covered California: The current plan comes with a deductible of $5,000 per person, meaning consumers have to pay that much before the insurance company starts picking up 75 percent of the cost of their care. The new plan described here has a much lower deductible, only $2,000 per person.
The current plan caps out-of-pocket costs at $9,500 per person, not including the monthly premiums. The new plan will cap those costs at $6,370.
The bottom line: If you have a spotless health record, even if you are older, you might be able to find a policy today that has a lower monthly premium than you will get through Covered California. But if you need to use that policy at some point during the year, and especially if you have a moderately expensive health problem requiring tests or a hospitalization, you would probably be better off with the new policy, even at a higher monthly rate.
A boon to early retirement
One potential benefit of these changes is that they will make it easier for older people to leave the workforce to retire early, work part time, become a consultant or start their own business. Doing any of those things today can be extremely risky, because walking away from a job with health benefits leaves a person vulnerable to huge financial consequences if they get sick.
The law also includes some lesser but still significant changes to Medicare, the insurance program for people age 65 and up and for the disabled.
The biggest is the phasing out of a policy that forced seniors to pay 100 percent of the cost of prescription drugs after they claimed a certain level of benefits. This "doughnut hole" in Medicare's drug reimbursement plan was meant to encourage Medicare recipients to use generic drugs, but it was unpopular from the start and will be gone by 2020.
Another change: The law cuts payments to private Medicare Advantage plans that are now used by more than a quarter of Medicare enrollees. That could limit choice and service, but the law also offers financial bonuses to plans that get rated as offering superior care and service, so no one really knows yet how the change will play out.
The flip side of all these benefits for older people is that some younger people will pay more, especially if they don't get coverage through their job but still earn too much to qualify for the tax credits that will subsidize insurance for low-income people.
The rationale behind the policy switch is that nearly everyone will one day be sick or old, or both. And when they are, they won't be tied to a job they don't want or need, and they won't have to fear facing medical bills that could wipe out their savings and leave them deep in debt.

Asian junior wushu championship under way
A world teen champion will spearhead the Philippine campaign when the country hosts the 7th Asian Junior Wushu Championship starting today at Makati Coliseum.
Alieson Ken Omengan, who captured a gold in the World Junior Wushu Championships in Macau last year, banners the 15-member national wushu team vying for top honors in taolu (forms) and sanda (sparring).
"The level of competition is going up very fast," said Julian Camacho, secretary general of the Wushu Federation of the Philippines (WFP), in Tuesday's PSA Forum at Shakey's Malate.
"Iran is very strong. Then there's also Vietnam, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong and Macau."
Over 400 athletes and officials have arrived this week to compete in the 24-nation continental tournament pitting fighters aged 18 and below.
"We're very confident of our team," said Bea Binene, the teen actress and wushu athlete also serving as the sport's ambassador.
"I've seen the kind of training they went through. So we're confident that we can reach our goal of winning at least five gold medals."
Omengan, a 15-year-old from Baguio City, has been tipped to win the men's nangun, a floor exercise using a staff as weapon, the same event he ruled in the Worlds.
Faith Liana Andaya has also been tagged as favorite after winning a silver in the women's jianshu in last year's world meet.
Camacho said another goal motivating the athletes is the federation's bid to clinch its 100th overall gold medal in the weeklong tournament.
"If we get seven golds here, then we'll reach 100," said Camacho.
"Our six sanda bets are all first-timers, but they might pull off a surprise with their technique and skills," said WFP deputy secretary Red Dumuk.
Yu Zaiqing, president of both the International Wushu Federation and Wushu Federation of Asia, will be the speaker during the opening rites.
Other PH bets: Dave Degala, Agatha Chrystenzen Wong, Vanessa Jo Chan, Joel Casem, Kimberly Macuha, Christian Nicholas Lapitan and Johnzenth Gajo in taolu; Noel Alabata, Thommy Aligaga, Clemente Tabugara Jr., James Daquil, Vivine Wally and Vita Zamora in sanda.

ENSURING your partner doesn't cheat is a perennial problem. Perhaps one solution is religion.
Beverly Strassmann at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor has spent years studying the Dogon people of Mali, west Africa. Women who practise the traditional Dogon religion, unlike those who are Muslim or Christian, spend five days a month around the time of menstruation in a highly visible "menstrual hut".
Strassmann tested paternity in 1700 Dogon father and son pairs and found that those who practised the traditional religion were four times less likely to be raising someone else's son than those who practised Christianity (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, DOI: 10.073/pnas.1110442109).
The findings suggest that the huts make it easier for husbands to monitor wives close to fertile periods. No differences were observed between the Dogon and the Muslim group, perhaps because women are required to tell their husbands when they menstruate.
Strassmann suggests that these traditions may have developed as a way to boost reproductive success.

Fan breaks into Kate Bush's house to propose to her
American Frank Tufaro has now been deported
The Daily Mail says that American Frank Tufaro travelled to Bush's country house carrying a £3,000 diamond, sapphire and gold engagement ring, but decided to break one of the property's windows to gain entry once he discovered that the singer wasn't home.
He left shortly afterwards but had already been spotted by Bush's neighbours, who called the police. After his arrest, Tufaro was detained under the Mental Health Act and has subsequently been deported from Britain.
Tufaro, who allegedly became infatuated with Bush after seeing her on a television advert as a teenager and had found his way to the singer's house using satellite co-ordinates he had downloaded from the internet, said:
I feel so connected to her. I feel so much love for her and I want to protect her.
The 32-year-old, who was handed over to the FBI after returning to New York, also claimed that he had only broken into Bush's house so he could escape the cold weather. "It was freezing cold, it was dark and I felt like I had nowhere to go," he said. "I didn't have a clue where I was and I was convinced I was going to die there, it was so bitter and cold.
"I've never broken the law in my life and decided to break a window pane and let myself in so I wouldn't freeze to death," he added.
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police said "We can confirm that on December 26 a 32-year-old man was arrested near Kingsbridge in Devon after reports of damage to a property. He was later deported by the UK Border Agency."
Kate Bush released her 10th studio album '50 Words For Snow' last year. Earlier this week, meanwhile, the singer was nominated for Best British Female Solo Artist for the Brit Awards 2012.

Castle graduate on a roll
Thompson second in D-II strikeouts
In a game against Northern Kentucky University last month, Michael Thompson's fastball lit up the radar gun, hitting 91 and 93 mph. But he tries to block out the presence of any pro scouts.
"I paid a little too much attention to it last year and it kind of worked against me," said Thompson, Bellarmine's record-setting senior from Castle High School.
Thompson is second in NCAA Division II with 108 strikeouts, with an 8-2 record and 3.00 ERA in 87 innings. "It's quite an accomplishment to see your name up there," he said. "It's exciting to match up with not only the conference, but nationwide. Trying to be the best at your position in all of Division II, it's fun."
Thompson has increased his school career record for strikeouts to 332 and innings pitched to 315. Two years ago, he broke current St. Louis Cardinals starter Todd Wellemeyer's single-season school strikeout record, with 99.
"It would be nice to follow in his footsteps," said Thompson, who posted an 8-4 record with a 2.15 earned run average in earning all-Great Lakes Valley Conference honors.
Last season, Thompson had a 6-2 record, but his ERA soared to 5.80 and his strikeout total fell to 71.
Back on track, he's scheduled to start for the Knights (32-22) against the University of Southern Indiana (35-15) at 3 p.m. on Thursday in the first round of the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament at Sauget, Ill. The Eagles are the No. 1 seed from the West Division; Bellarmine is the No. 3 seed from the East.
Although most of the USI players Thompson once faced in high school graduated after last season, he still relishes the rivalry with the Eagles.
"It's definitely fun throwing the first game, no doubt, against USI," he said. "I know their school and a lot of people who go there."
Not afraid of a challenge, Thompson is looking forward to facing the Eagles' aggressive hitters.
"It should be fun to watch for the fans, hopefully on our end and not theirs," he said.
Two of his Bellarmine teammates with area connections are also thriving.
Todd Duckworth, a freshman utility player from Henderson County, Ky., is hitting .362 with three homers and 20 RBIs.
Adam Chester, a senior center fielder from Harrison, is batting .304 with seven homers and 34 RBIs.

How does dengue affect the economy?
A WORKSHOP on "The burden and economic cost of dengue in the Philippines" will be held today at the Waterfront Hotel in Lahug, Cebu City.
This is organized by the University of San Carlos (USC) Biology Department led by Prof. Frances Edillo and Brandeis University Schneider Institute for Health Policy of Waltham, Massachusetts, USA led by Prof. Donald Shepard, in collaboration with the Department of Health in Central Visayas.
The workshop will enhance the knowledge and techniques used to estimate the burden and economics of dengue illness and their impact on the health system in the country.
In 2007, Prof. Maridel Borja of the University of the Philippines Manila College of Public Health led a related study on this topic.
Components of this workshop include evaluating the current dengue surveillance system, discussing factors that might lead to underreporting or over reporting, estimating an expansion factor to adjust for underreporting or over reporting, and projecting a realistic picture of the dengue burden in the Philippines.
The workshop will build on previous research, including a 2007 study by Professor Borja. The new study will update and extend these findings, and show the cost to the country's key institutions, including PhilHealth.
Key experts on dengue from the public, private, and academic sectors, with the range of relevant skills and experiences are invited.
Assistant Health Secretary Dr. Enrique Tayag and USC president Fr. Dionisio Miranda, SVD, are expected to open the workshop.

The role of risk management gains significant importance for CFOs in Southeast Asia
Deloitte Southeast Asia CFO Survey 2013
SINGAPORE, 20 December 2013 – While Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) continue to face a wide range of demands, the role of risk management for CFOs in Southeast Asia is, today, significantly more important compared to 12 months ago. This is according to the Deloitte Southeast Asia CFO Survey 2013, where 72% of the CFOs polled are more involved in risk management from a year ago.
This inaugural Deloitte Southeast Asia CFO Survey is a pulse survey designed to benchmark the thinking of CFOs of major companies in the region. The survey was open for three weeks from 7 October 2013 and was completed by 53 CFOs representing a wide range of industries.
Traditionally, the role of the CFO is one of financial management and operational responsibilities. This evolution of roles in recent times has shifted the focus towards risk management due to the changes in the external and internal environments the organisations face. The survey showed that constantly evolving global regulatory environment (67%) and the increasingly stringent domestic regulations for both statutory and industry-specific reporting (58%) are the biggest factors pushing the companies, and their CFOs, to pay more attention to risk management, and in particular, compliance.
Another factor for the evolving role is the internal shift in companies towards compliance and risk management with over half (54%) of the polled CFOs reporting it as a reason. Consequently, the majority of CFOs (90%) cited regulatory and industry compliance as their top area of involvement in risk management.
There is also a shift, or a desire for a shift, in how CFOs in Southeast Asia would like to spend their time. While Southeast Asia CFOs are spending more of their time in their "operator" and "steward" roles, more CFOs would like to, instead, spend their time as a "strategist" or "catalyst". 49% of the CFOs polled would like to only spend one day a week as a steward, allowing them to dedicate the rest of their time to be more strategic.
Hugo Walkinshaw, Deloitte Southeast Asia CFO Program Leader says, "While CFOs in Southeast Asia desire to play more strategic roles, the economic situation in the region does not allow for it. Globally, particularly in the United States of America, while Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) expect CFOs to spend over 70% of their time as a strategist and catalyst, most CFOs still cannot achieve this due to compliance and operational issues. This reality is also evident in Southeast Asia, where market forces make it hard for CFOs to minimise their time spent in their role as a steward."
Top stressors for Southeast Asia CFOs, according to the survey, include concerns regarding compliance, the slowing down of China's economy and increased competition as companies see costs rising faster than revenues.
Amid the worries however, sentiments of the CFOs in the region are more optimistic (44%) this quarter, compared to the third quarter of 2013. External factors such as positive developments in their industries or markets and internal factors such as their product and services and changes in their operations, financing or assets, play a role in driving this optimism.
Board involvement in risk management has also become increasingly significant in the region, with 65% of the CFOs reporting that their Boards are involved in risk matters that include compliance. While there is a large difference between the Boards' involvement in the public sector and the private sector (88% and 44% respectively), this is a gap that, in recent years, is diminishing due to increased regulations and reporting requirements.
Says Mr Walkinshaw, who is also an Executive Director of Deloitte Southeast Asia Consulting, "An effective and highly functioning Board must understand and monitor a company's strategic, operational, financial and compliance risk exposure, and therefore risk oversight, as part of a mindset that is integrated in the culture and work of the Board. As the primary custodian of the company's ultimate risk capital, CFOs are in the best position to advice Boards on risk appetites, preferences and as a result possible implications."
"It is positive to see the market sentiment among CFOs in the region on the rise. This optimism however does not come without its concerns. The trend towards a more risk focused outlook will continue to be at the forefront of CFOs' mindsets in Southeast Asia, and we will not likely see a decline in this approach in the near future."
Key findings include:

My mother used to make beer syrup when we were kids. It is out of this world, but this recipe needs a clarification.... you cannot use any kind of beer. Micro brews, pale ales, flavored beer and any bitter type beer will result in a disaster. It is best to use good old fashioned american lager (aka redneck beer) such as Bud or Old Style or Busch. Also add a dash of cinnamon.
We used Long Trail Blackberry Wheat for this recipe. Not only did it take 40 mins to boil down but when it finally did and poured it over pancakes the syrup was so bitter we couldn't eat our food. It might have been the beer I don't know but I'm never trying this again.

I used an American lager for this. This turned out extremely bitter. I don't know what went wrong but I don't think I'll try this again.

Members of the special body tasked to draft a new constitution for Libya and members of the General National Congress (GNC) stand during the national anthem during the body's first meeting in Bayda April 21, 2014. (REUTERS/Esam Omran Al-Fetori)
TRIPOLI: Gunmen stormed the seat of Libya's General National Congress (GNC) in Tripoli Tuesday as it was preparing to elect a new prime minister, an MP said.
"Armed men have besieged the congress, but we do not know the motive of the attack," Tahar Mokni told AFP.
"We suspended our proceedings, and the vote has been postponed until next week," he added, with witnesses saying MPs had been evacuated from the building as shots continued to be heard.
The GNC, the country's highest political authority, had been preparing to hold a second vote between two candidates to replace Abdallah al-Thani, who stepped down over security fears less than a week after being appointed earlier this month.
A first vote was held earlier in the day among seven candidates. Businessman Ahmed Miitig, from the western city of Misrata, emerged as the frontrunner with 67 votes from the 152 deputies present.
University professor Omar al-Hassi, from the restive eastern city of Benghazi, was second, with 34 votes.
Some MPs said the attack was carried out by partisans of one of the two men after rumours began circulating that he would lose the vote.
A number of deputies, doubtful that either candidate would obtain the 120 votes required for election, proposed putting off the poll until a consensus candidate could be found.
Thani had been named to replace Ali Zeidan, who stepped down in March.
Libya's weak central government has struggled to rein in heavily armed former rebel brigades from the 2011 uprising that ended Moamer Kadhafi's four-decade rule, many of which have carved out their own fiefdoms and refused to join the security forces.
