It is also notable for certain ideological stances taken by its management, and for its financial support of academic programs concerning "libertarianism" and the "moral foundations of capitalism."[20]
In June 2009, its chairman, John A. Allison IV delivered a keynote address to a meeting of the center-right Competitive Enterprise Institute, where he said government regulation caused the 2007-2009 financial collapse.[21] The bank had recently accepted $3.1 billion in bailout money through the U.S. Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program.[22]
Earlier, in 2006, BB&T said it would not lend money for commercial projects on property acquired through eminent domain. This was a reaction to the United States Supreme Court's decision in Kelo v. New London in 2005 that such transfers are permissible.

The objective of this project is to clarify the accounting for deferred tax assets for unrealised losses on debt instruments measured at fair value. A revised draft amendment to IAS 12 Income Taxes was published for comment in August 2014.
Why are we doing the project?
The IFRS Interpretations Committee received a request to clarify the accounting for deferred tax assets when an entity:
In order to resolve the significant diversity in practice, the Interpretations Committee recommended to the IASB to clarify the accounting in IAS 12 Income Taxes.
What are we doing?
The issue had initially been considered as part of the 2010-2012 Cycle of Annual Improvements to IFRSs, but based on the comment letters received on the Exposure Draft, the IASB tentatively decided at its meeting in December 2012 that addressing the issue would require a narrow-scope amendment instead.
Furthermore, the IASB asked the Interpretations Committee to develop a recommendation for this amendment.
How are we doing it?
At its meeting in May 2014, the IASB discussed and tentatively agreed with the recommendation of the Interpretations Committee that the proposed amendments to IAS 12 should include an illustrative example that addresses the following aspects in the application of the existing principles in IAS 12:
However, the IASB disagreed with the recommendation of the Interpretations Committee that items (a)-(c) should only be addressed in an illustrative example. The IASB tentatively decided that these items should also be addressed by amending the mandatory guidance in IAS 12.
Finally, the IASB tentatively agreed with the recommendation of the Interpretations Committee that the illustrative example should explain the application of IAS 12 to debt instruments measured at fair value in accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement as well as those measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
At its meeting June 2014, the IASB considered how to amend the mandatory guidance of IAS 12 to clarify items (a)-(d).
In addition, the IASB tentatively decided:
In August 2014, the IASB published for comment the Exposure Draft Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses (Proposed amendments to IAS 12). The comment period ended on 18 December 2014.
In March 2015, the Interpretations Committee was presented with a summary and an analysis of the 68 comment letters received on the Exposure Draft.
The Interpretations Committee decided to propose that the IASB should proceed with the proposed amendments, subject to some amendments to the proposed wording for further clarification.
The Interpretations Committee also recommended that:
The Interpretations Committee expressed concern about the ability of an entity to recover an asset for more than its carrying amount when it is measured at fair value and recovery is not based on contractual cash flows. The Interpretations Committee asked the staff to include discussion of the concern in the Basis for Conclusions.
Next steps
The staff will present the Interpretations Committee's recommendations at a future IASB meeting.
IFRS Interpretations Committee decided to propose that the IASB should proceed with the proposed amendment to IAS 12
IASB publishes proposed amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes

Violence Erupts over Muhammad Cartoons
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
- Feb. 2, 2006: European newspapers publish political cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad prompting riots.
- Aug. 4, 2005: Muslim Americans discuss the relationship between their religion and terrorism.
- May 16, 2005: Newsweek magazine retracted its report about an alleged desecration of the Quran by interrogators in Guantanamo Bay.
- April 22, 2003: Experts assess the role that religion and politics will play in the new Iraq.
MARGARET WARNER: From Indonesia to India to Iraq, protests in the MuSslim world grew wider and more violent over the weekend, with rioters torching European embassies in two Mideast capitals.
And today, the unrest turned deadly in Afghanistan near an American airbase. Afghan security personnel fired on a crowd of marchers, killing two and wounding five others.
The protests were ignited last week by a months-old series of cartoons in a Danish newspaper that caricatured the Prophet Muhammad. Many other European newspapers republished the cartoons in a show of solidarity with the Danish paper. Many Muslims consider any depiction of the prophet blasphemous.
IZATULLAH, Protester (Translated): They have abused our Quran and our prophet. And they have abused our religion. Our ambassador in Denmark should be called back and the Afghan government should stop all political issues with Denmark.
MARGARET WARNER: The Iranian government announced today an end to trade ties with Denmark, adding to a boycott of Danish goods that's costing companies there an estimated $1 million a day.
On Saturday, crowds stormed the Danish and Norwegian embassies in Damascus, setting them ablaze. That prompted this response from an editor of the paper that originally published the cartoons.
FLEMMING ROSE, Culture Editor, Jyllands-Posten Newspaper: I think it's a big tragedy. I think it's very unfortunate that now Danish interests, Danish buildings are being attacked in Syria.
But let me also say that Syria is a police state and this could not have happened if not the authorities in some way had allowed it to happen.
MARGARET WARNER: Yesterday, crowds in Beirut torched the Danish embassy there. Lebanon's prime minister urged an end to the violence.
FUAD SANIORA: We don't protect the prophet in this way. We don't protect Islam and national unity like this. This act is condemned by all the Lebanese from all religions and sects.
MARGARET WARNER: The U.S. State Department, which has criticized the cartoons' publication, said today it is taking additional security precautions at its facilities overseas.
MARGARET WARNER: And for more on why these cartoons have provoked such an ongoing reaction, we get two views: Fouad Ajami is director of Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies; and Ali Abunimah writes about the Middle East and Arab-American affairs for newspapers in the U.S. and abroad. He's also co-founder of the Electronic Intifada, a Web site about Palestinian affairs and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Welcome to you both.
Mr. Abunimah, this protest began a week ago now, first in the Arab and Muslim air waves and now we've seen it escalate into violence. What explains the continuing, ongoing and increasingly violent nature of the protest?
ALI ABUNIMAH: Well, I think that there is genuine offense at the cartoons which are definitely distasteful to Muslims, but I think that the cartoons in themselves can't really explain the extent of the protest and the anger that we're seeing.
And I think that this incident in a sense was a spark in a context where since September 11, increasingly people across the Arab and Muslim world perceive themselves to be under a generalized assault by the United States and its allies.
And there's a whole list of things that people would cite from the war in Iraq, U.S. support for Israel, Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, and many other things including increasing xenophobia against Muslim communities within Europe that provide tinder for this kind of widespread process.
I think the sense of anger is real, but I do also think that some leaders or some people within the region are also using the issue of the cartoons to whip up anger.
But I stress that I don't think they could do that with such success unless they were drawing on a broader sense that people are under attack.
MARGARET WARNER: Professor Ajami, do you agree with that, this has really tapped into and now reflecting much deeper rage, frustration, anger against the West?
FOUAD AJAMI: Well, I don't agree with this. I think, you know, to hear the self-pity that my colleague here expresses, you would almost not really –you would have to remember that there were these horrific attacks of September 11, 2001, which were the starting gun for all that he is talking about.
Fundamentally we've seen this before. This is a replay of what exactly happened a generation ago with the Satanic Verses of Salman Rushdie. The riots began in England then, and then they spread to the Islamic world.
MARGARET WARNER: The Iranian – just explain briefly — the Iranian writer who wrote a book that was considered blasphemous.
FOUAD AJAMI: Right. The Indian-born writer Salman Rushdie, and then the Iranians hitched a ride on the coattails of the riots in England.
In this case, the riots begin in Denmark and the concern begins in Denmark. And then it spread to the Islamic world.
And when you are talking about these two capitals, Beirut and Damascus, you're really talking about the cynical youth on the part of the Syrian regime of this incident.
This is not about religion; it's not about the prophet. It's not about these cartoons. It's about the determination of the Syrian regime to use cynically this episode and to sew disorder in Lebanon and to make Syria itself, which is under the gun for all kinds of high crime, to make it seem like the embattled heart of the Arab and the Islamic world.
MARGARET WARNER: Mr. Abunimah, do you want to respond to that, both to the notion that there's a lot of self-pity going on here and, secondly, that, in fact, in particularly in Lebanon and Syria where it got particularly violent really is being generated by the Syrian government.
ALI ABUNIMAH: Well, I certainly agree with Professor Ajami about the protests in Syria and Lebanon. And the sacking of embassies is inexcusable. And, as I said, there are people who have tried to exploit this for cynical reasons but his thesis that this is Syrian-inspired doesn't explain the protest in Indonesia and India and across the world.
I think, you know, it would be a mistake to ignore the context in Europe. Bringing up the Salman Rushdie affair draws us to the point that many European editors are making, and people who have supported the publication of the cartoons that this is about free expression.
As an American, free expression is a value that I hold above almost anything else. But we have to look at how this dialogue is going between the Arab world and the Islamic world and the West because Muslims look at Europe and they say, look, you're defending these cartoons based on free expression.
But when we said that it's our free expression of our personal faith to wear head scarves in public institutions or schools in France and other countries, you passed laws saying we can't do that.
So to many Muslims, the argument about free expression looks to be a little bit disingenuous.
And I would also say that the publication of the cartoons in the middle of this atmosphere, certainly the newspapers have the right to do that, but is it wise? And was it not provocative — given especially the fact that the Guardian of London reports today that the same Danish newspaper that published them had previously rejected caricatures of Jesus Christ precisely on the grounds that they knew that many of their Christian leaders would find them offensive.
So, I wouldn't talk about self-pity. I wasn't talking about my own feelings. I've looked at the cartoons, and to me they're quite banal and stupid. And what I am saying is that we need to look at the broader context in which this incident occurred.
To me it's a little bit like the visit of Ariel Sharon to the Aqsa Mosque in 2000, that people say set off the Intifada. I don't think his visit in and of itself was enough to start the Palestinian uprising. I do think though it set fire to a lot of anger which had been built up by things that people were experiencing and seeing around them. And that's all I'm saying.
We need to understand the broader context and how people in the Arab and Muslim world are seeing this and not just put it down to some kind of amorphous rage which, you know, has no explanation and is completely mystical or to come up with conspiracy theories that the government in Damascus can control crowds in India, which I think is just silly.
MARGARET WARNER: All right. Let me get Professor Ajami to respond. And if you would, there were a lot of things put on the table there, but let's look at two issues he raised having to do with the Europeans here: One is he was essentially saying it's hypocritical. I mean, Europeans talk about free expression yet they ban expressions of Muslim faith in the public square essentially in many European countries; and secondly that there was something deliberately provocative about these cartoons and that perhaps is at the very least unwise.
I mean, do you think Europeans deserve any responsibility for this, especially the ones who republished them?
FOUAD AJAMI: Well none whatsoever because part of the challenge, if you will, of living and the advantage of living in a liberal society is the willingness to be offended.
And I think what these Muslim populations in Europe, what these Muslim populations are telling us today is that they're in the West geographically but not of West. They don't accept the challenge; they don't accept the difficulty of living in a pluralist liberal society; that they have brought with them the fire from Morocco, from Tunisia, from Algeria, from Egypt and Syria.
And I think these European societies have a problem because they tended to think that there is a battle between America and the Islamic world, and that they are innocent bystanders. They're not innocent bystanders and now they know this. They know this in Denmark. They know this in Holland. They know this in Sweden. And that's what we're really seeing.
We're really seeing millions of Muslims who have come to Europe; they've been granted the chance for a new life. And I think they need to make their peace with this modern society in which they find themselves. And they haven't done it yet.
MARGARET WARNER: So, Professor Ajami, staying with you for a minute, are you saying that you think the burden is really on the Muslims living in Europe and not at all on the European societies into which these Muslims have moved?
FOUAD AJAMI: Well, I think — I think that's probably about it. I mean, I think you have to look at the dilemma of these Muslim populations in Europe.
You have 15 million, maybe you even have millions more undeclared who have come to Europe, and they need to respect the rules of European liberalism, and that they haven't really shown.
Like I took you to the beginning of this story, the time line — this began in Denmark. And I think the Muslims in Denmark have to respect the rules of Denmark. And they have to acknowledge — when in Rome, you live as the Romans do. And you are willing to be offended; you are willing to look the other way; and you are willing to accept that even though these cartoons are hideous and they're tasteless, that you don't go on a rampage. And you don't challenge the basic rules of European liberalism.
MARGARET WARNER: Mr. Abunimah, I'm sorry but very briefly if you could respond on whether Muslims living in European really need to accept those cultural norms of free expression?
ALI ABUNIMAH: Well, I reject Mr. Ajami's broad generalizations. Fifteen million Muslims haven't gone on rampages in Europe. The protests, though high profile, have not involved more than a tiny, tiny percentage of the Muslim population in Europe. I grew up in Europe.
I remember 20 years ago long before September 11 in the streets of Brussels being picked on by the police just because I'm an Arab — not because I don't accept European liberalism or democracy.
I'm an American. I love democracy. I love freedom. But I also think there needs to be mutual respect. And there needs to be a more sophisticated dialogue between Arabs, Muslims and people in the West, not just the kind of really simplistic name calling that Mr. Ajami is engaged in —
ALI ABUNIMAH: — and unfortunately has been his stock and trade.
MARGARET WARNER: OK. Mr. Ajami, brief response from you and then we're really out of time.
FOUAD AJAMI: Well, I think I don't want to engage him on this personal level. It's just idle.
I think fundamentally what this is really about, it's about the ability to accept the challenge of liberal society and to accept the challenge of dissent.
And I should add that many religious jurists in the Arab world, many prominent columnists, have condemned these hooligan attacks in Syria and Lebanon and have condemned the use of this episode for cynical political reasons. That's really what this story is all about.
MARGARET WARNER: All right. Gentlemen, we'll have to leave it there at least for tonight. Thank you both.

Chicago IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Jeff White scored a career-high 23 points to help lead the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers past their former Horizon League rival the Milwaukee Panthers 76-72 in the season opener at Gentile Arena.
White shot 6-of-10 from the field for Loyola (1-0) and made all 11 of his free-throw attempts. He was also active on the defensive end of the court with four steals. Milton Doyle poured in 17 points while Christian Thomas posted a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Matt Tiby paced Milwaukee (0-1) with 21 points eight rebounds and five assists. Kyle Kelm (13 points) and Austin Arians (11 points) were both solid off the bench and Thierno Niang rounded out the double-digit scorers with 10 points.
Milwaukee led for the majority of the first half but Loyola closed the frame on a 9-3 run and a White layup with six seconds left tied the game up at 28-28 heading into intermission.
The back-and-forth battle continued at the start of the second half but the Ramblers ripped off a 9-0 run to take a 62-57 lead with 6:35 left. The Panthers made things interesting in the final minute when a Kelm layup brought their deficit to just two with 14 seconds to play but White iced the game with a pair of free throws moments later.
Loyola shot 50 percent from the field while Milwaukee wasn't far behind at 47.1 percent. The Panthers were plagued by 18 turnovers while the Ramblers coughed it up just 11 times.

AGC of America News
The Inland Northwest Associated General Contractors (AGC) is pleased to announce its endorsement of Mayor David Condon for re-election in 2015. The association, which represents over 275 construction related companies throughout the region, also voted to endorse LaVerne Biel and Evan Verduin for City Council.
"Mayor Condon has proven to be an effective leader for the City of Spokane over the past 3 years", said Max Kuney, AGC Government Affairs Chairman. "His willingness to look for innovative solutions and work with all aspects of the community is what Spokane needs to truly become the city of choice."
LaVerne Biel, a small business owner, is running in District 2 for the seat being vacated by Mike Allen. Evan Verduin, an architect and Spokane native, is running against Karen Stratton, who was appointed to the council last year, in the 3rd District.
"Both LaVerne and Evan bring a non-partisan, business perspective to the council", said Kuney. "We feel they will provide a fresh voice and help focus the council on the issues that are most important to the citizens of Spokane."

Last Friday, Washington State Senate Transportation Committee Chair Curtis King (R-Yakima) announced an aggressive transportation plan that will invest over $15 billion dollars in the states infrastructure system over the next 16 years.
"We are encouraged to see the Senate come up with such a comprehensive package that should have strong bipartisan support", said Inland Northwest AGC Executive Director Cheryl Stewart. "This package includes both new revenue and system wide reforms, both of which are necessary to ensure long term stability for the state's transportation systems."
The package looks to several revenue streams, the largest of which is an 11.7 cent gas tax increase over the next three years. Also included in the package are 8 key policy reforms that will help to ensure the efficiency of transportation projects and provide better stewardship of gas tax revenues.
Several Eastern Washington projects will be funded with this proposal, over $1.3 billion total, including the North Spokane Corridor, 1-90/Medical Lake & Geiger Interchanges, I-90/Barker Road, I-82/Red Mountain Interchange and Spokane Transit's Central City Line.
"We strongly encourage all of our local legislators to support this package", Stewart said. "This not only brings much needed infrastructure improvements to Eastern Washington, it will also create thousands of jobs and millions of dollars in economic impact."
For a complete list of the projects and reforms included in the package, please visit the Senate Transportation Committee website at http://leg.wa.gov/senate/committees/tran/Pages/default.aspx.
ACTION ALERT: Please contact your legislator today and let them know you support both the Funding Package and the Reform Package. Find your legislator here. We have prepared a sample letter/email for you to send. Please contact Cheryl Stewart or Wayne Brokaw for more information.
Thank you to everyone that attended our recent Commercial Motor Vehicles Roundtable discussion with local law enforcement agencies. This session was very well attended and provided some very valuable information to members.
There were several requests for copies of the power point presentation that was used as well as the links that were provided throughout the morning. Please see the list of resources below:
The Spokane City Council will be hearing an ordinance next Monday, December 15th, that will require 15% apprenticeship utilization on all public works contracts over $350,000.
Proponents of this ordinance call it a jobs bill and have described anyone that opposes it as not supporting jobs. Make no mistake – this ordinance DOES NOT create jobs. The street levy and park bond create jobs. All this ordinance does is tell us who can and cannot have those jobs.
More than anyone, AGC contractors understand the workforce shortages facing our industry. No other association does more to support apprenticeship or workforce development. The construction industry as a whole employees more apprentices than any other industry in the State of Washington. And while we understand that we are facing a workforce shortage, this one size fits all approach is not the solution to our problems.
The Spokane Alliance and FUSE have gathered an impressive group to be at City Council on Monday in support of this ordinance. Every apprenticeship director in the area will tell them they have a long list of people that want to be apprentices. You are well aware that for every one of them that testifies, we could bring up 3 times as many contractors that will tell you they cannot get apprentices when they need them.
This ordinance also imposes stiff penalties for anyone that does not meet the requirements and gives no allowances for "good faith effort". It also makes no allowance for contractors that do not have access to apprentices and forces them to sign agreements with a union sponsored plan. When Council President Stuckart was told that this ordinance would force many small, family-owned companies that provide their own in-house training, to no longer do work with the city, his reply was "no one is forcing them to work with us".
We need to make sure City Council understands the real implications of this ordinance. This will not help solve our workforce issues, this will force companies to use apprentices when they tell them to, not when it makes the most sense or provides the best training opportunities, and it will cost the city money in oversight and increased bid prices to accommodate extra workers or penalties. Additionally, we currently have 11,000 people working in this industry that we need to keep employed, and this could very well force contractors to send some of these people home to make room for the required apprentices.
I strongly encourage you to write to city council today and to be present at next Monday's city council meeting. It is important that they hear both sides of this issue. They are getting dozens of letters every day, we need all of our members to contact them, please encourage all of your contractors, subs and suppliers to contact them as well.
See the complete ordinance here (Page 216).
Find contact information for City Council members.
For more information, contact Cheryl Stewart at firstname.lastname@example.com or at (509) 535-0391.

Please contact Mary Tantriella – firstname.lastname@example.com or (509) 534-1446 with your questions and comments.
The AGC Young Execs and Future Leaders spent last Friday making life a little easier for a family here in Spokane. The group partnered up with SNAP (Spokane Neighborhood Action Program) to construct a wheelchair ramp, build a new set of steps, and perform some general yard work – all of which would not have happened without this team of volunteers.
In addition to the companies that volunteered their time, many companies also stepped up to donate all of the materials needed for the project, allowing SNAP to help a member of the community at no cost.
"The ramp alone would have cost us close to $5,000", said Chris Davis, SNAP Director of Housing Services. "We can now help 2-3 additional families because of you and your members generosity."
The Young Execs hope to make this type of project an annual event.
Thank you to all of the companies that participated as donors or volunteers:

Learning to Cook
Bumble blogs on the lessons from Alastair Cook's ODI form, Bopara, Finn and a naughty heron.
Last Updated: 17/02/12 3:29pm
I'm delighted to see Alastair Cook playing so well in one-day cricket and I think there's a massive message here for a few other players.
If you think back to not-very-long-ago this was a lad who couldn't get near England's one-day team. But he knew his shortcomings, he's gone away, he's worked on it and now he looks like a very effective player.
He's scoring at a damn good rate and is taking responsibility by getting big scores rather than flashy little 30s and then out. He's playing with controlled aggression and a lot of knowhow; he keeps the percentages on his side with regards to where he can score and where he's vulnerable.
He's also been turning the strike over. I've often said in the past that England are not good at losing the strike (i.e. ones and twos) and not good at hitting boundaries either. Cook's doing both of those things.
He's doing everything that's been asked of him and he has accepted the challenge to improve and make himself better in this form of the game. The message is clear: it can be done.
There were a number of us, myself included, who weren't sure about Cook and Jonathan Trott being in the top three, but it seems to be working. I still think Trott will score, too.
It's also good that Ravi Bopara has been given the signal that he's the man. I don't know him that well, but he looks to be a confidence player and if you believe in him then he improves significantly.
He seems to be vulnerable when he's in and out of the team, but he seems to have found himself a nice little slot. The big minus against his name was that he didn't play as well as expected against India, but they've given him another go and he has responded.
I'll also mention the performance of two other notables. Firstly, I'll continue to say that Samit Patel will be a terrific player for England. It's tiresome to hear people going on about his fitness (only he and his manager will know about that), but I like the cut of his jib and I think he's a very effective cricketer. I honestly do think he could play Test match cricket, particularly in that part of the world.
Also, Steven Finn just gets better and better. His performances in one-day cricket have been terrific and now people are asking whether he'll get back in the Test team.
I was speaking to a former England cricketer (who shall remain nameless) about this and he made an interesting point about Finn. He said that he's an exceptional bowler, but his stock delivery is a nip-backer.
That's fine in one-day cricket when batsmen are being aggressive and playing shots because you don't give them any room, but in Test matches you actually need to go the other way to bring the wicket-keeper and slips in.
I thought that was an interesting point, but I think Finn is an intelligent lad and at his age I'm sure he'll be working on taking the ball away as well. I'll also say that one of the best I ever played with was Brian Staham, who also used to nip it back. He had one that went straight on too, but it does work
Anyway, it was a wonderful performance from Finn, a lad who is very eye-catching.
Stop blowing your tumpet
In the two wins so far, we've seen stellar performances from the opening batsman (two centuries) and the opening bowler (four wickets). I thought we'd get thumped 4-0 in this series, but I've now reversed that view and I think it could go the other way.
However, there may be some significance in the pattern that if you win the toss and bat first then you've got a percentage in your favour straight away. Also, I don't think these two teams (and I'd love England to prove me wrong here) are effective chasing sides.
I'd also like to see Craig Kieswetter given a bit more freedom as a batsman and to have a bit less self-doubt about his position. On the face of things he's a very bullish character, but he's given away a few signs of lacking a bit of self-confidence when he bats.
If he was playing for Somerset he would just whack it, but he needs to believe in himself in an England shirt. He's in the side, so they obviously think he's good enough.
I must say, his catch in the second ODI was an absolute stunner and I couldn't believe how harsh some people were being on Twitter: they said he was in completely the wrong position and made it look difficult!
From where I was sat, he turned backwards from his wicket-keeping position and sprinted with a swirling ball coming over his shoulder in the lights to take the catch. It was fantastic, come on chaps!
However, I did agree with the Twitter complaints about that trumpet every five minutes. I'd like to shove that where the sun doesn't shine. It's ridiculous and I don't know what purpose it serves.
Apparently they had it during the Rugby World Cup as well. It's not so bad for 80 minutes, but six hours of it is a bit much...
Bird watch
There's a heron on the loose in these parts and it's eaten two of our fish.
We've put all sorts of deterrents out to try and stop him. We've got nets up and a plastic heron to frighten it off, but he's still nicked two fish. 'Vipers' is hopping mad about it.
There's only one thing for it. 'Vipers' will have to camp out in the garden every night and shoo it away. Put a pair of gloves and a scarf on her and she'll be fine. I might even take her a brew out in the mornings.
She won't mind because I gave her an extra special Valentine's Day treat this year: a lovely bag of gravel.
Well, she did ask for something useful...
A load of balls
Strong rumours have reached me that Mr Balotelli has been driving around a village not far from here and chucking his money about again.
I think that bloke is flipping brilliant (football's about entertainment isn't it?), but I don't think Senor Mancini, who lives quite close to him, will sleep very well when he's out and about.
Finally, a few of you have questioned the new formation for the England football team that I suggested in last week's blog.
The 4-4-3 formation seems to have caused a bit of a stir because on the face of it we're playing with 12 men, but I've been in touch with a Mr Bloater from FIFA (seemed a nice chap) and he said it's okay if one of the front men drops back a bit.
It's called tactics. You need to be on song with these things in international football.

32 year old man | Los Angeles, CA, USA | Seeking women 21-36 within 50 miles
Fortune favors the bold.
Hi, I'm Jason. So far, I've led a pretty awesome life. I have incredible friends, and I'm making headway in my career. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. In 2007, I moved to California, having never visited the Pacific timezone, let alone Los Angeles. Other than my family, the thing I miss the most are rainy days. I love rainy days. I genuinely enjoy learning about things which I know nothing about. If it's a documentary about the black market, or a series about North Korea, you will find it in my Netflix queue. I read as many books as I can. Recently, I finished "Writing Movies for Fun and Profit" by Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon (two of the guys from "The State", one of my all time favorite TV shows). If you have any desire to work in any facet of entertainment, you'll enjoy the frequently hilarious step by step instructions on how to sell (and then write) the next Alvin & The Chipmunks movie. I work a lot, and I like what I do (Production, both TV and web, and I deal a private poker game). I have big personal goals and even bigger dreams, but I'm also aware that many people move to LA for the same reasons. I like to think that I'm realistic in my expectations. Personality and intelligence are the most attractive qualities of a woman, but I'm a sucker for a beautiful brunette (turns out, beautiful blondes are great, too.). I'm wildly attracted to bold, adventurous girls, and yet shy and nerdy girls have surprised me in their own way, from time to time.

I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Horses
Growing up, my mother claimed she was allergic to "anything with four legs", so we kept tropical fish and lizards. But pets are awesome. As long as it's not poisonous, I'm probably going to love it.
Middle of the Road
The volleyball courts on Santa Monica beach, downtown Culver City, Bigfoot West & Oldfield's on Venice, Century City, the west side of LA, Las Vegas, plenty more. I guess I could say "My bed", but that's low hanging jokefruit, and I'm not lazy.
Point Park University, Pittsburgh, PA
In no order: My family, rainy days, my friends, italian food, learning ANYthing new, cracking wise, writing, karaoke, making cocktails, mobster movies, steakhouses, that feeling after working out, driving with the windows down. Too many to list.
Weekends: Classy restaurants, dive bars, & all points in between. The beach, the couch, and mountains can all be fun with the right people. Parties with friends are essential for my soul & sanity. During the week, really depends on how my day went.
Just read: "Writing Movies For Fun and Profit" ("Fun And" is struck out) by Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon - great read for anyone in ANY facet of the entertainment industry. Reading: Blink, by Malcolm Gladwell. Extremely fascinating stuff.

Dell Inspiron C840 laptop screen resolution problem
1 Attachment(s)
I've got an Inspiron C840 with a screen res problem that started after the main board was replaced (for a serial port failure). I do not believe it has anything to do with the well-documented NVidia-APM problems.
On cold startup into runlevel 5 (X), the entire screen is "shrunk" to aproximately 3/4 of its proper size. A black "letterbox" (about 1-1/2") appears around all sides. The aspect ratio is correct.
The only way I've found to work around this is to simply enter bios setup first (before linux boots) and immediately exit (note: I'm not modifying any setttings). After that, everything works fine.
I've upgraded to the newest version of the NVidia driver. Windows 2K does not have this problem.
XF86Config-4 is attached. Anyone have any ideas about what is going on?
i would've said fix the monitor options - but Win2k doesn't have these problems - sorry

This venue was so much fun for my two boys! I think I may have enjoyed it more than they did. I thought it was going to be a bit underwhelming once I figured out it was in the mall, but boy were we surprised. The walk through aquarium was outstanding. The boys loved the kiddy quiz along the way and the aquarium was just fantastic. If I had to title my review, this one would read "Pleasantly Surprised". I highly recommend this attraction for kids of all ages.

Education in Cape Verde
Primary school education in Cape Verde is mandatory between the ages of 6 and 14 years and free for children ages 6 to 12.[1] In 1997, the gross primary enrollment rate was 148.8 percent.[1] Primary school attendance rates were unavailable for Cape Verde as of 2001.[1] While enrollment rates indicate a level of commitment to education, they do not always reflect children's participation in school.[1] Textbooks have been made available to 90 percent of school children, and 90 percent of the teachers have attended in-service teacher training.[1]
Although most children have access to education, some problems remain.[1] For example, many students and some teachers speak Cape Verdean Creole at home and have a poor command of Portuguese (the language of instruction); there is insufficient spending on school materials, lunches, and books; and there is a high repetition rate for certain grades.[1]
For much of the nineteenth century, education in Cape Verde was primarily undertaken at the initiative of private individuals or groups at a local level, rather than state organisation. The first government-funded primary school was established on the islands of Brava, Cape Verde in 1847. The first secondary school was set up, in Praia in 1860, but this school closed after a year.
In 1866, a clergy-run Christian seminary was started in São Nicolau, primarily to train priests, although not all students were ordained. The curriculum covered mathematics, science, classical languages and European literature.[2]

I think Arnold's biggest mistake was the casting for Catherine and Heathcliff's adult roles. Glave and Beer are so astounding that I just kept wanting them to come back during the second half. Though a bit overlong, it's still a great reading of Brontë's classic: no ghosts, no Cathy, just a raw panorama of the cruelty of the Yorkshire moors, as well as of men.

Originally written on 60 Max Power O | Last updated 11/23/12
The Dallas Cowboys have so much talent, they spend so much money, and they keep coming up short. Every time the Cowboys look like they are ready to climb in the NFC East, they throw up all over themselves. The Cowboys have developed a habit of falling behind, and making furious comebacks that fall just short of winning. That's nice for teams who need moral victories; the Cowboys need wins, not a warm and fuzzy feeling. Jerry Jones is tired of looking at the cracked glass half full, he wants wins, now. Jones talked after the Cowboys 38-31 loss to the Washington Redskins, and his tone wasn't good at all. "Things like comebacks are hollow when you are not winning the game," Jones said via Tim MacMahon of ESPNDallas.com. "Or last week, we win one (against the Cleveland Browns) and we have to come back to win it, but we don't win it playing well. So that's hollow right now." "I don't want to be talking about looking through," Jones said. "Our expectations were to compete for the playoffs and then whatever else we can get when you get there, compete for. We know you've got to be playing well when you get there. We've had some setbacks on some injuries, but that's not the difference out here right now at all." "Yeah, I expect success," Jones said. "Now, I don't have any implied or anything that I've said, 'Success, a level of success, or else.' I'm not going there and haven't gone there in my mind. "I expected to come in here and win today. And I expected to win again and to win again. Under those circumstances, you don't have to think about those things." var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

Strange looking intake
Got intrigued today when looking down at a mates KTM 990 (2006), the rear cylinder intake looked quite ugly, greasy/sooted.. plugs look fine, no complaints about driveability. He was dazzled, but i believe he never seen the throat of his bike, so anything would dazzle him...
Anyone ever seen this before and figured :huhwhat could be the cause of it?
Valve too tight?
Is the crankcase breather on the rear of the air filter?
If it is, I can see where most of the crap would get sucked in the rear inlet.
Been searching about it and the closest i've found relates to bad injector, although the engine revs fine.
Backfiring into the TB can lead to this. Actually this is the only thing I can imagine that gets carbon buildup inside there:) Didn't your mate notice backfiring into the airbox / cutouts / farts? :)
Anyway.. check the seating of that TB (look for a torn boot) and if the vac. ports on the intakes are OK. (no torn vac. hoses for example)
Took it for a spin and it doesn't feel like missfire, maybe with closed throttle engine braking there is some exhaust backfiring but can't really assure if there is into the TB's.
Been once on the 950 with an intake torn boot and felt it, but not this time. Taking the TB's out.
Well then maybe it's an old story for the bike which has been sorted out already and noone cleaned the TB since.. Poping on decel at the exhaust is normal ofcourse, and if you can't feel anything wrong while riding it / idling (a carb/tb backfire is quite noticeable), then I doubt you'll find anything out of ordinary if you pull the TBs.. But at least you can give it a good clean. Don't fix it if it ain't broken :PPPPP
the cause i dont know precicely but have seen it on more than a few bikes already. I recommend using some fuell additive once in a wile to keep things clean. Dont worry about it for the rest, as long as the valves are in spec.
I have seen that before. As the SAS enters at the rear of the airbox I wondered if that could be causing it?
A friend bought a 950 a while back and had the same thing. Bike ran great with no issues but it bugged him. Valve check showed the intakes on that cylinder were tight. Since he corrected the valve clearances the intake is staying clean. Also noticed the bike was a bit smoother.
Check the valve clearances just to be sure.
Also it could be that someone put too much oil into the engine. In that case the crack case breather spits out some of the the excess oil over the front cylinder intake. Front trumper intake sould be very oily.
taking the TB's out for clean, verify intake boots and check valve clearences. I'm pilling beer cases for these services :deal
What about the reed valve on the smog thingy?
I'm kinda liking the too much oil thing right now. Easy to do if you fill it up cold.

National Preparedness:
FEMA Has Made Progress, but Additional Steps Are Needed to Improve Grant Management and Assess Capabilities

What GAO Found
Officials in the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)--a component of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)--have identified actions they believe will enhance management of the four preparedness programs GAO analyzed; however, FEMA still faces challenges. In February 2012, GAO found that FEMA lacked a process to coordinate application reviews and made award decisions with differing levels of information. To better identify potential unnecessary duplication, GAO recommended that FEMA collect project-level information and enhance internal coordination and administration of the programs. DHS concurred and has taken steps to address GAO's recommendations. For example, the fiscal year 2013 and 2014 President's budgets proposed the establishment of the National Preparedness Grant Program (NPGP), a consolidation of 16 FEMA grant programs into a single program. Members of Congress raised questions about the NPGP and did not approve the proposal for fiscal year 2013. FEMA incorporated stakeholder views, as directed by Congress, and the fiscal year 2014 President's Budget again proposed the NPGP. If approved, and depending on its final form and execution, the NPGP could help mitigate the potential for unnecessary duplication and address GAO's recommendation to improve internal coordination. In March 2013, FEMA officials reported that the agency intends to start collecting and analyzing project-level data from grantees in fiscal year 2014; but has not yet finalized data requirements or fully implemented the data system to collect the information. Collecting appropriate data and implementing project-level enhancements as planned would address GAO's recommendation and better position FEMA to identify potentially unnecessary duplication.
FEMA has made progress addressing GAO's March 2011 recommendation that it develop a national preparedness assessment with clear, objective, and quantifiable capability requirements and performance measures, but continues to face challenges in developing a national preparedness system that could assist the agency in prioritizing preparedness grant funding. For example, FEMA required state and local governments receiving homeland security funding to complete Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessments (THIRA) and, as a part of this process, develop their own capability requirements by December 31, 2012. State officials are to use the capability requirements they identified to self-assess capabilities in their future State Preparedness Reports, which FEMA uses along with other sources to develop the annual National Preparedness Reports. However, FEMA faces challenges that may reduce the usefulness of these efforts. For example, because states develop their own capability requirements, and use individual judgment rather than a quantitative standard to assess preparedness capabilities, it may be difficult to identify differences and compare capability levels across states. Further, while FEMA officials stated that the THIRA process is intended to develop a set of national capability performance requirements and measures, such requirements and measures have not yet been developed. Until FEMA develops clear, objective, and quantifiable capability requirements and performance measures, it is unclear what capability gaps currently exist and what level of federal resources will be needed to close such gaps. GAO will continue to monitor FEMA's efforts to develop capability requirements and performance measures.
Why GAO Did This Study
From fiscal years 2002 through 2012, Congress appropriated about $41 billion to a variety of DHS preparedness grant programs to enhance the capabilities of state and local governments to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks and other disasters. DHS allocated more than $22.3 billion through four of the largest preparedness programs-- the Urban Areas Security Initiative, the State Homeland Security Program, the Port Security Grant Program, and the Transit Security Grant Program.
In February 2012, GAO identified factors that contribute to the risk of FEMA potentially funding unnecessarily duplicative projects across the four grant programs. In March 2011, GAO reported that FEMA faced challenges in developing and implementing a national preparedness assessment, a fact that inhibits its abilities to effectively prioritize preparedness grant funding. This testimony updates GAO's prior work and describes FEMA's progress in (1) managing preparedness grants and (2) measuring national preparedness by assessing capabilities. This statement is based on prior products GAO issued from July 2005 to March 2013 and selected updates in June 2013. To conduct the updates, GAO analyzed agency documents, such as the National Preparedness Reports, and interviewed FEMA officials.
What GAO Recommends
GAO has made recommendations to DHS and FEMA in prior reports. DHS and FEMA concurred with these recommendations and have actions under way to address them.
