Easy (REALLY easy) party snack food ideas?
We're throwing a party this saturday and have virtually zero time to plan for an elaborate or even a relatively simple menu. Any ideas for some truly quick and easy party foods? I'm talking opening a bag of chips and pouring out some salsa levels of easy here although any and all ideas are welcome.

Check out this post for a more thorough explanation, and jump onto our Facebook page or our Twitter feed to keep the conversations going!

Where can I buy some marijuana this morning?
Message of a 911 call placed by a man to the Hillsboro, Ore., Police Department at about 9:40 in the evening. The dispatcher informed the caller that she had no idea where he could buy pot. While Oregon was the first U.S. state to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of cannabis, police were concerned by the bizarre nature of the call and visited the man later in the evening.

Voice responses to changes in pitch of voice or tone auditory feedback
By M. Sivasankar, J.J. Bauer, and C.R. Larson
It is well known that voice control depends both on volition and auditory feedback. This study tested the sensitivity of the audio-vocal control system to a subject's own voice vs. an external source. This issue is important for understanding the degree to which the system may use internal (e.g., memory) vs. external (e.g. piano) sources of feedback for voice fundamental frequency control. Subjects vocalized a vowel at a constant F0 while either hearing their voice and/or a tone feedback signal (500 Hz). Shifts in pitch (+/- 100 cents, 500 ms duration) of voice feedback or the tone elicited reflexive changes in voice F0. Responses to voice pitch-shifts were significantly larger than those to the tone (22 cents vs. 15 cents). There were no differences in response latency across the feedback conditions. The results indicate the system can respond to a variety of signals but responds best to the voice. The voice preference could be due to practice (developmental) or innate effects. An innate relationship implies the system is not amenable to modification, whereas the developmental explanation implies the system may be modified through use. Inappropriate behavioral modification of the feedback system could lead to some voice disorders such as exaggerated vocal tremor.

Texas Legislators Fight To Preserve $41 Million Dollar Border Security Budget
By KRWG News
Texas – One area of state government has survived the initial round of cuts: border security.
Budget writers tries to spare spending on border security operations while scaling back heavily on education, college funding and health care programs for the poor.
The lead House budget writer, Rep. Jim Pitts, said Wednesday the decision reflects a commitment to "ensure the safety of all Texans."
Texas is facing a $15 billion revenue shortfall, but that number could be as high as $27 billion when population and enrollment growth are taken into consideration.
The current budget has at least $40.8 million in spending for border security.

Fox Tries to Drag Baby From Crib as He Sleeps
Once upon a time, a hungry fox climbed into a home in London and tried to carry a 4-week-old baby out of his crib. No, this is not a fairytale — we swear, it actually happened!
According to the Daily Mail, the mother of the baby heard a scream and a thud coming from the nursery, and ran in to check on what she thought would be her napping child. When she entered, a fox had her baby by the hand and was trying to drag the infant away.
Fortunately, the brave mommy was able to wrestle her child away from the fox, but not before the animal bit off the poor kid's finger. Doctors have been able to reattach the finger, but the terror of a random animal attack at home might be harder to treat.
Apparently, this isn't the first fox attack in the suburban South-East neighborhood of Bromley in London. The dangerous animals have been seen in the area scavenging for food, even entering people's homes. The mayor of London, Boris Johnson, told the Daily Mail, "This sort of attack, though terrible, is rare. But we must do more to tackle the growing problem of urban foxes."

Sikivu Hutchinson: In America being a macho man and a professional homophobe is big business, one that jeopardizes the lives and mental health and wellness of thousands of gays and lesbians. Regardless of whether the allegations against Long are true or not, his prosperity gospel of gay-bashing and robber baron profiteering at the expense of poor black people is another indictment of the moral injustice that happens on "God's" watch.
Clapping for Conservatism
Steve Hochstadt: These days it seems like only political allegiance determines judgments about whether people are good or bad. I want to be judged by how I act, not how I vote, by whether I tell the truth, how I treat my neighbors, how I live in my community, how well I take care of my mother. (Hi, Ma.)

For lunch, my sister and I ordered a burger and fries. It was delicious and hot. I was impressed at how good the food was and reasonably priced. The only downside was thatbthey gave us a coke for soda. I thought they could have called to ask what we wanted. But, please do not let that stop you from trying the food. By the way, we loved the fries too.

Comments about 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw:
I haven't been vexed by the saw getting out square like so many have. No problems in precisely cutting off the bottom of a door that a DIY-er or incompetent carpenter had mangled. But then, most of my precision cutting is with a miter saw or radial arm. I use the circular saw for rough cuts. But where this saw shines for me is in "salvage" work. I cut up utility reels/spools for firewood. Full depth plowing through solid lumber: no problems. This saw has made hundreds and hundreds of feet of such cuts without missing a beat. What is especially helpful is the powerful sawdust clearing feature. I even wave this Bosch over the surface to blow away the sawdust from previous cuts to help me avoid nails. I've done no maintenance except to use a compressor to blow it out. (Only improvement I'd like: a larger trigger space to accommodate heavy winter gloves.) Because of salvage work, I've gone through a lot of blades, but I never worry about the saw. So maybe it isn't the most precise saw, but it is, "blades down," the toughest, most durable, and reliable one I have ever owned.

Comments about 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw:
I purchased the CS20 Bosch Circular saw two or three years ago for the purpose of doing some of the more precise circular saw cuts. This was a factory reconditioned saw. When I received the saw, I checked it out and it seemed to work fine. Since I have other saws, I set it aside until I worked on some special project. When I decided to use the saw, I couldn't get a good cut. When I checked it out, I found that the shoe was not flat. You could press on two opposite corners and it would rock. It was about 1/16 inch off. Obviously, I waited until after the warantee and do not expect anything to be done. I have thought about screwing on a thin hardboard and shimming it.
I own many other Bosch tools and they have performed well for the most part. The problem with this saw reflects poorly on Bosch. I am responsible for not checking the tool out more carefully in a timely manner, but Bosch is responsible for the poor saw shoe quality. If I have to replace this saw, it won't be another Bosch.
Best Uses
Comments about 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw:
This is a handy useful saw. But, it has a couple of issues.
1. As the blade guard moves around the curve, the black handle on it moves into the line of sight of the user blocking the view of the cut. One must lean way over and around to continue to see the cut. It's a poor design. The handle is big and handy for moving the blade guard manually.
2. The grip necessary to remove the battery needs a LOT of power. One must press red release 'buttons' on each side of a big battery. Young powerful hands probably won't notice, but we senior folks can struggle plenty to press both at once to release the battery. Trying to use two hands to do it is a fool's errand. Not the best design. I greased the tabs a wee bit, that hold the battery in place, to make it easier. A helps a little.
Otherwise it's a handy tool. This is no worm-drive powerhouse, but it gets jobs done nicely. I find it useful and light.
Best Uses
Comments about 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw:
I've had many circular saws but this one better built than any of them. When you pick it up you know you have quality.
Comments about Bosch 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw:
Really liked every bosch saw I've purchased so far. The cs10 is light and powerful, a nice saw for sure. As mention by others, there is problem with the saw flexing out of square, it seems the plastic arm that attaches to saw to the front of the plate really isn't stiff enough. Not a big deal if your doing rough cuts, but a critical issue if you need precision ie. cutting out stringers for a set of stairs. Would be an awesome light saw if this oversight was addressed, I bolted and glued a piece of steel to the arm and helped quite a bit.

Patricia Smith: It's nostalgia over calories at Brady's Burger Bunch
"Marcia, Marcia, Marcia" rang through my mind upon entering this nostalgic eatery with the same name as the '70s sitcom family. Brady's Burger Bunch makes you feel your biggest worry has nothing to do with cholesterol or carbs.Virtually every item on the menu is less than $10 (including combo meals). If you're not into burgers or dogs, there are subs and cheese steaks, wings and shrimp. But it seems that the majority of people come in for the burgers, so we decided to do the same.
We ordered a cheeseburger combo with fries ($7.50) with extra cheese and grilled onion (25 cents each) and a dog combo ($6.99) with chili (49 cents) and substituted onion rings for fries (99 cents surcharge). We waited for one of the few indoor booths and waited for our chocolate milkshakes ($1.50 substitution charge) and our meals to arrive. Rock 'n' roll was playing through the speakers and we half expected roller-skating servers to show up and put on a musical.
Our lunch baskets arrived a few minutes later and the pleasant surprise was discovering the pricing and portions were reflective of a bygone era. Every bite brought back a memory of grilled onions and swiveling barstools at a long-ago counter. The shake was cold, creamy and satisfying. The burger on its Kaiser roll oozed with flavor and the hot dog was too messy to eat by hand so we ate it with plastic forks and knives. Lunch for two (including tip) came to $22.

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a large load carrier made of plastic, in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.
2. Description of the Related Art
Such large load carriers are large space containers on a pallet base, or such pallets themselves. The containers exist in many variations, with closed side walls, with perforated side walls, with two or three runners, with rollers or feet.
In this connection, these heavy load containers or pallets can also be stacked, whereby the lowest container in the stack carries three to four tons.
For this reason, such a stack is not lifted and set down by the forklift truck driver. Instead, he moves the tines of the fork against the lower edge of the bottommost container or the bottommost pallet in the stack, and displaces the stack in this manner, to the desired location, over a hall floor that is generally rough.
In this connection, of course, damage or destruction of the plastic container or of the pallet frequently occurs in this region.
For this reason, the large load carriers in question have also already been set onto steel flat pallets, which consist of a metal frame provided with internal struts, of U profiles that point outward, and standing feet disposed in the corner regions of the frame, in such a manner that the U profiles surround the lower region of the container and are connected with it by means of attachment screws. The forklift truck driver therefore has the possibility of moving the tip of the fork into the U profile and, in this manner, displacing the plastic containers without the risk of damage to them.
However, such flat pallets are expensive to produce, bulky to store, and additionally increase the weight of the stack.
The invention is therefore based on the task of indicating an inexpensive alternative of a load carrier protection made of U profiles, which requires extremely little storage space and offers advantages in terms of weight.
The invention accomplishes this task in accordance with the characterizing part of claim 1, in that the feet can be releasably attached to the underside of the bottom part, have a contact surface for the corner regions of the load carrier bottom part, as well as a border that rises vertically from the contact surface, which border surrounds the load carrier edges at a right angle, on which pegs for accommodating the U-profile strips and fixing them in place are formed on at its free shank end surfaces.
This system makes it possible for the foot part to be put together from feet and U profiles, whereby this composite foot part can be attached to the load carrier bottom.
In the disassembled state, these foot parts take up very little storage space. Nevertheless, they offer the same protection during displacement of a load carrier stack as the steel flat pallets. Refitting to different foot variants are quickly possible.
As additional reinforcement of such a foot part that can be put together, it is provided, according to claim 2, that an accommodation and fixation element is provided for a reinforcement strip that reaches from one standing foot to the diagonally opposite standing foot and is recessed into a depression provided in the bottom part, in the form of a U profile, for example.
For this purpose, a bracket corresponding to the inside dimensions of the U profile is provided on the contact surface, onto which the U-profile strip is set.
In order to simplify the production of the feet and reduce their weight, claim 3 proposes that the load carrier feet are plastic injection-molded parts.
In order to protect these plastic feet against excessive wear during displacement, claim 4 proposes that a metal plate is mounted on the standing surface of the feet, in each instance.
However, it is also possible to form the standing feet entirely of metal, for example using the die-casting method, or also by means of cutting machining.
Claim 6 proposes that the standing feet can be screwed onto the underside of the load carrier bottom part. The foot can be installed with form fit with the contact surface and flush with the bottom surface of the load carrier, if this bottom surface is correspondingly lowered, according to claim 13.
In this way, crosswise forces are absorbed and the screws are relieved of stress. Furthermore, the fork of the forklift truck can be moved in without hindrance.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided, according to claim 7, that the screw connection takes place through bores in the contact surface of the foot, which bores align with screw-on domes formed into the load carrier bottom part.
These screw-on domes are particularly implemented in load carrier bottoms that are configured in grid form or honeycomb form. Cylinder-shaped recesses are formed into several intersection points of such honeycomb-grid crosspieces, or into the crosspieces themselves, into which recesses self-tapping screws can be screwed.
If the container feet consist of plastic, it is proposed, according to claim 8, that a play of several millimeters (for example 5 mm) remains between the free shank end surfaces of the border and the face surfaces of the U-profile strips, in order to be able to balance out the different length expansion values of plastic and steel.
For the same reason, it is proposed, according to claim 9, that a play of several millimeters remains between the wall of the border that faces towards the load carrier, and the face surface of the reinforcement profile assigned to this wall.
According to claim 10, the contact surface of the standing foot is configured to be greater than the base surface of the standing foot itself, so that in this manner, a better force distribution between standing foot and load carrier exists.
The feet can also be connected with one another by means of runners, in this case, as in the case of known load carriers.
Load carriers are defined, according to the invention, as large space containers or as pallets (see claims 11 and 12).
In the following, the invention will be presented and explained in greater detail using drawings.
These show:
The pallet base, which is an integral part of the container 1, has standing feet 5, between which the fork of a forklift truck can be moved in.
The containers 1 are structured in such a manner that several can be stacked on top of one another, whereby the weight of such a stack can amount to several tons. For a forklift truck, it is practically impossible, in this case, to lift the stack in order to move its location, to move it, and to set it down again, for static reasons. For this reason, the forklift truck drivers set the tines of the fork of the forklift truck against the container 1 above the standing feet 5, and thereby displace the entire stack from one location to another. Since the previously known containers 1 consist of plastic, and the displacement movement generally takes place over a rough hall floor, the forks of the forklift trucks frequently cause damage or destruction of the containers 1 during this displacement process.
According to
Standing feet 7 are screwed onto the container bottom 6 at the four corner regions; details of these are evident from
The container bottom 6 is configured to be grid-shaped or honeycomb-shaped, for reinforcement reasons. A reinforcement strip 8 made of metal, configured as a U profile, is inserted into a depression in the container bottom 6, between two standing feet 7 that lie diagonally opposite one another.
On the side edges of the container 1, there are U-profile strips 9 made of steel, between the standing feet 7, whereby the opening of the U points outward.
The U-profile strips 9 fulfill the function of serving as engagement surfaces for the tines of the fork of a forklift truck.
As is evident from
It consists of plastic, for example, and is produced in one piece, using the injection-molding method.
The standing foot 7 is composed of the actual foot part 10, a contact surface 13 that projects out beyond the foot part 10 on both sides 11 and 12. On the sides that lie opposite the projecting regions of the contact surface, there is an up-drawn right-angle border 14, on the shank end surfaces 15 of which pegs 16 are formed, which correspond to the U profile of the U-profile strips 9 in their cross-sectional area.
On the contact surface 13, a bracket-like elevation 17 is provided (in this case, also formed on), the longitudinal orientation of which corresponds to the diagonal between two corner points of the bottom region 6. This bracket 17, too, has a cross-sectional area that corresponds to the U profile of the reinforcement strip 8.
In the contact surface 13, several bores 18 are provided, through which the self-tapping screws can be screwed into screw-on domes 19, which are situated in the honeycomb-like structure of the container bottom part 8 (see
As is evident from
Such a modular system consisting of standing feet 7, U-profile rails 9, and reinforcement strips 8 is provided not only for the large space containers 1 just discussed, but rather can also be used in the case of the pallets 20 discussed farther above, as is evident from

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- For the second time in four years, Boston University has taken home America East Player, Pitcher and Coach of the Year accolades in softball as the Terriers' April Setterlund (Torrance, Calif./South Torrance) was named the league's top player, teammate Cassidi Hardy (Jupiter, Fla./Jupiter) was tabbed the conference's top hurler and their coach, Shawn Rychcik, was honored as Coach of the Year. Binghamton University's Jessica Phillips (Syracuse, N.Y./Cicero-North Syracuse) earned Rookie of the Year honors to cap the 2010 annual award winners, which were announced Wednesday afternoon, and along with the all-conference squads, voted on by the league's seven head coaches.
Setterlund, a junior outfielder, was a unanimous choice for Player of the Year after having one of the most impressive seasons in America East history. Also a first-team all-league selection for the third straight year, Setterlund ranks third nationally in hitting (.517) and on base percentage (.607), fifth in slugging percentage (.945) and is tied for sixth in runs scored (59). Setterlund, a three-time America East Player of the Week, leads the league with 34 extra-base hits, including 18 doubles and 12 home runs, and ranks second with 50 RBI. She also has stolen 20 bases in 21 attempts and committed just one error in 72 chances with seven outfield assists.
Hardy, a senior right-hander was a unanimous selection for Pitcher of the Year after going 17-7 with a 2.38 earned run average. She compiled an astounding 5.7-to-1 strikeout to walk ratio, ranking second among league leaders with 217 punchouts and walking just 38. Hardy, who was named the conference's Pitcher of the Week four times, was at her best in league action, going 8-2 with a 1.86 ERA. She racked up five shutouts and held batters to a miniscule .142 average while striking out 104 and walking just 11 in 67.2 innings against America East foes.
Rychcik, who is in his sixth season as head coach of the Terriers, led his squad to a league-best 31-19 record and the program's first regular-season title since 2007 en route to being a unanimous choice as the conference's top coach. The Terriers, who lost five starters off last season's championship squad, feature one of the top lineups in the country, ranking 20th in runs per game (5.98) and 39th in team average (.298). Rychick, whose team posted a run differential of 185 this season, was also named the league's top coach in 2007.
Phillips, a freshman outfielder, helped lead the Bearcats to a 17-win turnaround from last season. She leads the league with 15 homers and ranks seventh with a .345 batting average. Phillips, who was named America East Rookie of the Week three times and also took home Player of the Week accolades on May 3, ranks second among conference leaders with 28 extra-base hits and a .770 slugging percentage. She also drove in 33 runs and scored 38.
Joining Setterlund and Hardy on the All-Conference First Team is pitcher Alyssa Struzenberg (Cooper City, Fla./Cooper City) from Stony Brook University, catcher Deannie Plemon (Irvine, Calif./Woodbridge) from Binghamton, first baseman Gina Mason (El Camino, Calif./Sacramento) from University at Albany, second baseman Alexis Souhlaris (Derry, N.H./Pinkerton Academy) from University of Maine, shortstop Vicki Kavitsky (Cherry Hill, N.Y./Cherry Hill East) from Stony Brook, outfielders Jess Bergin (New Windsor, N.Y./Newburgh Free Academy) from Albany and Emily Thompson (Niagara Falls, N.Y./Niagara Falls) from UMBC, designated player Nicole Springer (New Britain, Conn./Kingswood Oxford) from University of Hartford and utility player Amanda Fefel (Baltimore, Md./Catonsville) from UMBC, who became the 10th player in league history to earn first-team honors in four straight years.
Accompanying Phillips on the second team are pitchers Kristen Emerling (Germantown, Tenn./Houston) from Binghamton and Ashley Kelley (Hermon, Maine/Hermon) from Maine, catcher Kat Smith (Pasadena, Texas/Pasadena Memorial) from Albany, first baseman Rachel Hebert (Humble, Texas/Humble) from Boston U., second baseman Amanda Dilworth (Jackson, N.J./Jackson Memorial) from Hartford, shortstop Emily Roesch (Palm Beach, Fla../Palm Beach Gardens) from Boston U., third baseman Rachel Moeller (San Jose, Calif./Archbishop Mitty) from Boston U., outfielders Meghan Tucker (Kirkwood, N.Y./Windsor) from Binghamton and Kali Burnham (Courtice, Ontario/Trinity College School) from Maine, utility player Michelle Connors (Clifton Park, N.Y./Shenendehowa) from Albany and designated player Lauren O'Malley (Pasadena, Md./Archbishop Spalding) from UMBC.
Along with Phillips and Springer on the All-Rookie squad are Albany's Allie Weiser (Wildwood Crest, N.J./Wildwood Catholic) and Kylie Apostolina (Smyrna, Del./Smyrna), Binghamton's Rhoda Marstellar (New Park, Pa./Kennard Dale), Boston U.'s Whitney Tuthill (Middletown, Conn./Suffield Academy) and Taylor Cowan (Columbia, Mo./Hickman), Hartford's Jess Oliveria (Jackson, N.J./Jackson Liberty), Maine's Elizabeth Spoehr (Appleton, Wis./Appleton East) and UMBC's Heather Brown (Pasadena, Md./Northeast).
Twenty All-Conference and All-Rookie honorees will compete for the 2010 America East Softball Championship, a double-elimination tournament, beginning on Thursday, May 13 at University of Maine's Kessock Field. Top-seeded Boston U. and fourth-seeded Albany will meet at 1 p.m. while No. 2 Maine and No. 3 Stony Brook will play at 3:30 p.m. The conference champion will be crowned on Saturday, May 15, and will receive an automatic berth into the NCAA Softball Championship.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.—After four hours of racing, 2012 runner-up Allan McNish in the #2 Starworks Racing Riley Ford held the lead of the 51st Grand Am Rolex 24 at Daytona, a second ahead of NASCAR star Jamie McMurray in the #02 Telmex-Ganassi Riley BMW. Juan Pablo Montoya in the #01 car, which had led most of the race, was a further thirty seconds back
At the four-hour mark, Allessandro Pier Guidi in the #63 Scuderia Corsa Ferrari led the GT class, 15th overall, taking over from the 2012-winning Magnus Racing Porsche which had just pitted. Nicolas Armindo got into the Magnus Porsche and rejoined in second, 2.8 seconds behind Guidi and eleven seconds ahead of third-placed Edoardo Mortara in the Alex Job Racing Audi Sport R8 Grand Am.In GX and 40th overall, Nelson Canache in the #16 Napleton Racing Porsche Cayman led Eric Foss in the # 38 BGB Motorsports Cayman GX.R. Third in class and three laps back was James Clay in the Bullet Racing Cayman.
Five-Hour Update
The fifth hour of the Rolex 24 at Daytona saw more than an hour's worth of drama.
Ryan Hunter Reay in the #10 Velocity Coyote-Corvette took the race lead after a reshuffling due to a caution period, but he was hotly pursued by the pair of Telmex-Ganassi cars.
On lap 149, at 8:20 p.m. Jamie McMurray caught RHR and overtook him, but had to surrender the position: McMurray drove over some pit equipment during the yellow-flag pit stop and was given a 30-second stop-and-hold. McMurray rejoined in eighth.
McMurray gave the lead back after a lap, but Juan Pablo Montoya stepped up two laps later to seize the lead for Telmex-Ganassi again, stretching the lead to two seconds..
Burt Friselle and Nelson Piquet Jr. in the #9 and #5 Action Express Coyote-Corvettes held third and fourth, twelve seconds back.
Allan McNish brought the #2 Starworks Riley-Ford for what looked like a shock absorber adjustment, and came out flying, catching the Action Express cars. Shortly after the five-hour mark, he got past Piquet to take fourth, and began hunting Frisselle.

What is Turnbull? Why?
Turnbull recommends adopting a risk-based approach to creating and reviewing the effectiveness of an internal control system. Internal financial control is not enough, by itself. A "tick in the box" approach to risk just creates paperwork for little benefit. However, a vigorous, comprehensive and committed risk management approach protects assets and stakeholders and creates an environment for business success.
Directors need to set business targets to be achieved within different timeframes. They also need to consider risks to the achievement of those objectives. Companies that identify risks early, and take appropriate action, will adapt, survive and prosper. While the concept of risk management may seem negative, identification of risks may lead to identification and exploitation of opportunities. A risk approach identifies market changes, delivery mechanisms and operational process requirements and permits the company to respond to them swiftly, to grasp new opportunities promptly, and so maintain – or increase – competitive edge.
The Turnbull approach is connected, through the Combined Code on Corporate Governance, to the Listing Rule disclosure requirements of the London Stock Exchange. Non-compliance with Turnbull would result in a disclosure on the annual report that could quickly attract adverse media comment and affect share price and credit rating.
The risk management approach supported by Turnbull is equally appropriate to smaller listed companies. New and small companies are challenged to create and maintain a high market capitalisation and attract funds – both made easier by being able to prove strong risk management and internal control.
Its implications for Business Continuity management are profound: it helps further to legitimise and embed many of the processes that BC professionals have been advocating over the years.
The Turnbull Process
High level business goals need to be broken down into, effectively, very specific critical success factors and key performance indicators that can be monitored. However, by the time one identifies that a key performance indicator has not been achieved, it can be too late. So these higher level indicators need to be cascaded down into very specific performance and risk markers. Early warning and reporting mechanisms need to be put in place immediately to highlight any deviation from the performance necessary to achieve the goals.
The focus should be on fulfilling business objectives through improved risk management. Turnbull advocates focus on significant risks – those that could prevent mission and goal achievement. The guidance emphasises a combination of a "top down" approach together with company-wide consultation and a basis of sound risk management and internal control processes and methods.
Where a company is part of a group, "top down" and "bottom up" processes should be synchronised for best effect. Primary focus should be on risks that are significant to the whole group, while also addressing risks that are also significant to each subsidiary.
Turnbull also addresses joint ventures and associates and expects disclosure where these have not been dealt with as part of the group. International operations need to consider cross-border risk.
Making Progress
There are a few keys to success
- Make Turnbull an integral part of the way the business works
- Define clear business objectives – identify specific performance markers
- Focus on significant risks and relevant controls
- Prioritise objectives
- Establish clear risk management policies, methods and controls
- Win commitment at all levels from all involved – consult business-wide
- Allocate risk management responsibilities to individuals
- Continuously monitor actual performance against the performance markers
- Keep Board reports short and simple
- Implement a risk approach as a project
- create a documented project plan
- with a clearly designated individual or team
- Keep things simple
- Once the initial project is over, the Turnbull programme needs to be maintained, continued and developed.
The Risk Assessment
Turnbull and its interpreters advocate a simple methodology for identifying and assessing risk. Risk can be categorised as Business, Financial. Compliance, Operational. Examples of risks in the Financial category could include Liquidity, Market, Overtrading, Interest, Currency, Fraud, Treasury etc. Risks can be priorities by categorising them as:
- High impact, high likelihood
- High impact, low likelihood
- Low impact, High likelihood
- Low impact, low likelihood.
The Board can then determine
- The level of risk they find acceptable, depending on the risk / reward ratio
- The control strategy to avoid or mitigate the risk
- Who is accountable for managing the risk and maintaining controls
- What is the residual risk
- What is the early warning mechanism.
While the Board is overall responsible for a company's internal control system and policies, Turnbull makes it clear that management is responsible for implementing policies adopted by the Board. Turnbull also refers to board committees (e.g. audit, risk) that could receive and review risk and control reports. It is responsibility of management to identify and manage risks, while a board committee could be responsible for monitoring risk and control, based on reports to them from management.
Many of the basics of good risk management and internal control may have already been put in place by Business Continuity Managers, Risk Managers, Compliance, Operational Risk and Internal Audit functions, among others. But what Turnbull brings to the party is the increasing emphasis on a holistic approach to risk – an acceleration of what, last year we were calling "the emergence of convergence" of the various risk management activities into a single integrated whole. That has to be good news for business continuity – and therefore for those companies that embrace Turnbull in spirit as well as letter.

Terry's time not up
It's always been like this.
On a Tuesday evening at Aycock Recreation Center, father and daughter go to work. The regimen is much like any of their workouts over the years.
Shauna Terry and her father, Ervin, each are dressed in black gym shorts and purple tops and Ervin dons a backwards purple cap.
Two-ball drills are a favorite of Ervin Terry, but today there's only one ball and three chairs.
"It makes you work on both hands, left hand and right at the same time," he said, "because the majority of people can only dribble with their right hand and can only go their right."
A volleyball net spans the half of the court nearest Aycock's entrance and some of the other goals are taken, so Shauna and Ervin Terry set up shop on a side hoop in the corner of the gym.
Shauna dribbles, crossing over each chair; left to right, right to left, then left to right again out of the obstacle course before setting her feet and shooting jumpers from the right elbow.
After a miss, Ervin tells Shauna to follow all the way through before demonstrating the process with the ball in his hand.
She nails the next one.
"It's been the same since I was a little girl, basically," said Shauna.
The drills, that started when Shauna was 6, were designed to lead her to college basketball.
They did.
A former three-sport star at Southern Vance, Shauna Terry finished her Western Carolina playing career in March as the program's career blocks leader.
Shauna Terry averaged 6.7 points her senior season, leading the team in rebounds with 5.1 per contest. She finished with 27 more blocks on the season than the next closest Catamount.
That explains the purple. Ervin Terry wears his Western Carolina gear nearly everywhere he goes. Now, he says he's ready to trade it in for the royal blue, light blue (and a little red) colors of Buducnost, a professional team in Podgorica, Montenegro.
Shauna Terry recently was signed by the reigning Montenegrin champion and leaves for Europe this week.
"If she goes and does what she's been taught, she should fit in real well," said Ervin Terry.
Lessons live on
Ervin Terry never stops teaching and Shauna is still learning lessons from her high school days. Her father recorded most, if not all, of her Southern basketball and volleyball games — even some middle school and rec games, too. They're still breaking down the tape.
"Most of the time, after the game, if I did good," said Shauna, "I still got in trouble. If I played bad, I got it even worse."
Her father laughs, probably because that sounds familiar.
As much as sports play a role in their relationship, the pair is able to separate competition and family.
When the drills stop, the coaching mostly does, too.
"Once we get in the house, all that stuff is out the door until we get in the gym and it's back to coach," said Shauna Terry. "We have a pretty good relationship. We crack jokes all the time. We have a good father-daughter relationship."
Ervin Terry played basketball and football at Vance High, graduating in 1984.
For Shauna, basketball has always been the priority even though she excelled in volleyball and won a 2010 track and field state title in the long jump.
She said her improvement in basketball really began to accelerate when she set the other sports aside.
Not looking back
Ervin Terry plans on attending Shauna's first Buducnost game. Of course, he won't be there as often as he attended her stateside games — and yes, he regularly made the nearly five-hour trip west to the mountains of Cullowhee, decked out in purple.
Ervin Terry was so much a fixture at Catamounts' contests, Shauna had it brought to her attention if he wasn't immediately spotted in the stands.
He's still present in the Tri-County area, too, whether coaching or just catching the action. It was Shauna that encouraged her dad to coach other girls' teams. He leads two rec league teams (ages 7-9 and 10-13) and will serve as an assistant coach for the Northern Vance girls this season.
"I see what it took to her to get away from here and now it's time to help somebody else," said Ervin Terry. "That's why I go to all the games."
Ervin Terry expects Shauna's versatility to give her an offensive edge in the pro ranks.
She's 6-2, three inches shorter than her dad and says defense and rebounding will continue to be her focus.
"I think I'm always going to be a shot blocker," said Shauna Terry, "but I'll probably need to be more smart. It's not like high school or college where you can predict it. Everybody is skilled now."
Terry currently is the only American on Buducnost's roster although one more Yank could join the southeastern European team.
Terry embraces the idea of experiencing new cultures and languages (The head coach speaks English.) and the WNBA is not on her radar.
"I just want to stay over there and play," she said. "It would be nice to come back over here and play in front of my family, but I think it will be a good experience just to stay over there and travel and see the other side of the world."
Shauna Terry said she's determined to stay humble and not let success get to her head.
Her father and coach isn't worried.
"She's real mature," said Ervin Terry. "She'll handle herself well. I'm just hoping the best for her."

Comments about Angle Stop:
This should really be part and parcel with the bench unit. Why it's a separate buy is a little confusing to me since I'm unsure why you'd want the bench jointer capability without an angle stop. For less than $200 it's possible to convert the HL-850 planer into a bona fide jointer. Wow, that's impressive.Having a field jointer is beyond convenient, it's a gift from the tool gods atop Mt. Olympus.

NPR's Business News starts with hardship for Malaysia Airlines. Malaysia's government will remove that airline from its national stock exchange today. Malaysia Airlines has operated at a loss for the past three years, and of course, its troubles were compounded by the disappearance of a flight over the Pacific in March and another shot down over eastern Ukraine last month. With today's move, Malaysia Airlines is now fully state-owned which is the first step of a major restructuring process. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
