- Autor:
- European Commission.
The Commission has presented the European Code of Good Conduct for Microcredit Provision. This Code provides recommendations and standards that should foster best practice in the microcredit sector. It is intended to provide guidance for microcredit providers from the point of view of consumers, investors, funders and regulators.
By setting out good practice guidelines and identifying expectations and common principles, the Commission is seeking to support the microcredit sector in facing the challenges of accessing long term finance, maintaining and raising the quality of services and moving towards sustainability.
Organised in a practical way, this voluntary Code of Good Conduct is divided into five indexed sections addressing customer and investor relations, governance, common reporting standards, management information systems and risk management.
This document was developed in close consultation with a large number of stakeholders including representatives of the banking and non-banking micro-credit sectors.

"Most people have heard of an Emergency Blanket, but you may not have heard of an 'Emergency Bag'. These are the pocket-sized, lightweight, bags or blankets that help you preserve your body heat in cold, challenging circumstances.
I remember the first time I tested the emergency bag's claim of "keeping you warm" in cold weather. I was a scout leader of 12- and 13-year old boys. We were preparing for our annual winter (Klondike) camp-out and I decided to test these bags.
The boys came on a weeknight for our pre-campout meeting. It was a cold winter night with temperatures between 10 and 20 degrees outside, plus the added chill of the blowing wind. I told the boys that we were learning about keeping warm in the winter and the activity was testing an emergency sleeping bag. They were dressed as you would expect for 12- and 13-year old boys: shorts and a lightweight t-shirt or something similar. I had them stand outside and climb into an emergency sleeping bag and stay there until they got too cold.
Well, the experiment worked in two ways! First, the boys kept safely warm and could have stayed out in the weather a long time. And second, I had the easiest evening I've ever had as a scout leader!
The Emergency Sleeping bag is ideal for the glove compartment of your automobile, your backpack, and your emergency kit. The bag is specially designed to retain up to 80% of radiated body heat to help preserve crucial warmth. The emergency bag can be used as an emergency sleeping bag, thermal ground covering or even as a radar reflector! This bag is large enough to cover from head to toe (84" x 36"), yet folds down small enough to fit in a pocket. Any way you look at it, you get a powerful pocketful of warmth with an Emergency Bag from Emergency Essentials.

Video: Feds Shutdown Websites Selling Counterfeit Goods
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP & WGRZ) - Federal law enforcement authorities announced the seizure of 132 websites in several countries -- and in Western New York. The crackdown is aimed at stopping the sale of counterfeit merchandise online.
Local officials were behind 15 of those website seizures. Many of the websites were selling counterfeit products from Buffalo-based New Era, where executives estimate fake hats and other merchandise cost them $300 million every year.
James Spero, the special agent in charge of the local Homeland Security Investigations office, said the counterfeit merchandise hurts the local economy and local jobs; also, the fake products are usually inferior and can even be dangerous.
He said the timing was critical.
"The idea was to get the sites down before 'Cyber Monday,'" Spero said.
The Cyber Monday crackdown comes on what's expected to be the biggest online shopping day of the year. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations coordinated the effort with Europol and police in several European countries.
In Western New York, Gary Hammer, 47 of Cheektowaga, is charged with trafficking in counterfeit goods. Investigators said he was peddling counterfeit versions of Microsoft products. The charge carries a maximum penalty of ten years in prison, a fine of $2,000,000, or both.
2 On Your Side was unable to reach Hammer for comment, but he told the Associated Press that this was "a big misunderstanding."
Authorities say it's the third consecutive Cyber Monday that websites selling knockoff sports jerseys, DVDs and other goods have been targeted. They say sites were seized after copyright holders confirmed that products purchased there by investigators were illegal. Site visitors now see a banner explaining the seizure and copyright infringement.
Homeland Security field offices in Buffalo, New Jersey, California, Maryland, Colorado and Texas investigated.
Tips to avoid getting scammed
Officials say your best defense is to use common sense. If a product -- specifically its price -- seems too good to be true, it probably is. Anything discounted more than 20% is likely a fake.
U.S. Attorney William Hochul said using a credit card can protect you in many cases, because the credit card companies often refund money to consumers that are scammed by fraudulent retailers.
Investigators said customers should also research online merchants before making purchases. For instance, call the business during regular business hours and see if it has an actual brick and mortar headquarters. Online retailers that do not -- or that get their mail at a post office box -- are often fake.

Warning: the Rome United Snowboard Binding is a gateway binding that may lead to overhead powder slashes, switch back lips, and general radness all over the mountain. It has a lightweight feel and a medium flex to help you throw down from park to peak without breaking out the platinum card.
The United Asym highback has an asymmetrical shape to conform to your body's natural stance and a medium flex that provides the right balance of support and tweakage. Highback rotation allows you to rotate the highback for maximum support and power no matter what stance angles you choose. The Unibody baseplate provides a smooth flex and is lightweight, yet practically bomb-proof.
SubBase padding under the baseplate absorbs vibrations and shock to soften harsh landings and smooth chatter. The Contour ankle strap and ComformGrip toe strap keep your boots locked in without creating pressure points so you can shred all day in comfort. Tool-less strap and forward lean adjustments allow you to tweak your setup on the hill.

Debra Gervais, MD, director of the Division of Pediatric Radiology at MassGeneral Hospital for Children, answers questions about children and radiation exposure.
Radiation Q&A with Debra Gervais, MD
Q: What about other sources of radiation such as medical imaging? Is it important to bring your child to a pediatric hospital for imaging studies like a CT scan or x-ray?
Debra Gervais, MD Director of the Division of Pediatric Radiology
A: At a pediatric hospital like MassGeneral Hospital for Children (MGHfC), there are pediatric radiologists on staff who are dedicated to ensuring the proper performance of equipment. The amount of radiation exposure from x-rays, CT scans and other imaging studies is limited to the minimum that is necessary to answer the diagnostic question. At MGHfC, we use computer decision support systems to help doctors decide whether to do a new scan or if a previous scan may be used. Also, with CT scans, it is important to reduce the dose according to the size and weight of the child. MGHfC has been a leader in reducing radiation dose from CT scans for over a decade. These dedicated protocols may not always exist in other hospitals without as much of a pediatric radiology focus.
To read more about what Mass General Imaging is doing to reduce radiation dose from medical imaging, see http://www.massgeneral.org/imaging/about/reducing_radiation_exposure.aspx
Contact MassGeneral Hospital for Children to schedule an appointment with one of our specialists.
At MassGeneral Hospital for Children, we partner with patients and families to ensure that care is safe, high quality, equitable and efficient.

By CHARI JELSMASports Writer
With over a month until the end of the season, Carbon High Schools' soccer team still has time to move up in region. The Dinos are currently at number three in the region. Winning the last game against Grand, Carbon was ready to make a great showing at their next game against them, winning the game 3-9.
Carbon High Dinos currently have a winning streak of three wins and one tie for their last four games, bringing them to third in the region.
The game against Grand worked out good for Carbon High, who had a demanding lead against them from the beginning. The Dinos scored quickly in the beginning of the first, signaling what was to be a high scoring game for Carbon. Ending the first with five points, Carbons' lead on Grand was a demanding one. Carbon then scored another four points in the second, adding one more win for the Dinos.
Carbon seniors Taylor Dastrup and Todd Palmer made a great showing for the Dinos at the game against Grand, Dastrup scoring three goals, and Palmer scoring two. Also scoring against Grand for the Carbon team was Michael Jenson, Kevin Bunnell, and Nick Teny. Carbon High goalie, Jacob Denison, did an impressive job of goalkeeping against Grand, keeping them from scoring many goals.
Carbon High Schools' soccer team also won the game against North Sanpete on April 8. The Hawks made it tough for Carbon, who were tied at 1-1 in the second, going into overtime, the Dinos managed to score the winning goal. Winning the game 2-1, Carbon prepared itself for the upcoming Lehi game on April 13.
Lehi, number one in the region, is a tough competitor to any team. With five wins, one tie and no losses within the region under them before their game against Carbon, Lehi is doing great this season, but the Dinos were not about to let them win easily. Starting strong in the first, Lehi scored one goal, and their excellent defense prevented Carbon from scoring. The second was different for the Dinos, who scored one bringing Carbon and Lehi to a tie. Unable to break the tie in two overtimes, the game ended 1-1.
The next game scheduled for the Dinos is on April 20 against Delta High Schools' Red Devils. Delta High School is number two in the region, currently having four region wins and two losses, and the Red Devils might present a tough game for the Dinos. The last game against Delta on March 16, was a tough loss for Carbon, who lost by one goal toward the end of the second.
With over a month since last competing against them, Carbon has had plenty of time to prepare for the game against Delta.
Carbon High School is currently doing great this season. With three wins, three losses and one tie in the region, they are number three behind Lehi and Delta. In state, the Dinos have six wins, seven losses, and only one tie, making them a tough competitor for most other high school teams.
The next game for the Dinos is on April 20 against Delta. The last game the Dinos played against Delta didn't turn out quite the way they wanted, with a loss of one point, 3-4. With three wins since that game, Carbon should be ready to go up against Delta, and bring home another win.

Buzz: Has Progress Been Made and Is A Deal Set To Be Announced? (Updates)
8:20AM: Tuesday: Michael Russo tweets that there was no secret or unannounced meetings yesterday, according to Bill Daly.
Bob McKenzie tweeted his thoughts on the report:
- If I had info to that effect, I'd have reported it. I don't have that info and I didn't report it. I have no knowledge of any breakthrough.
- As of this moment, I don't believe the lockout is any closer to ending than it was, say, on Sunday. We'll see what happens today in NYC.
- I try not to be in the business of shooting down someone else's report. I always allow that person may have better info than me. Or not.
- So, just to be clear, I'm not saying the Boston report is untrue or not accurate. I'm saying I can't get info to support it. That's all.
8:08PM: Sarah Kwak of SI tweets "Asked if there was ANY MORSEL of truth to WBZ report that deal is imminent, B.Daly: "Not even a single morsel…" Great. And now I'm hungry."
Jeremy Rutherford, a Blues beat writer, tweets that Burton is very tuned into the Bruins.

Joe Haggerty of CSNNE he spoke with someone who said that it wasn't true but was hoping that Burton knew something that he didn't.
He adds " I will say this about @wbzsports Steve Burton. He also broke news Phil Kessel had testicular cancer few yrs back. So theres that"
Burton has been with CBS 4 since 1994

Comments about prAna Jasmine Knicker (Women's):
I use these knickers for climbing. I usually have problems getting waists to fit right but there is a strap so I can make the waist more snug if I want. They are a good length.
The material is great--soft, repels water a bit, and is nice and stretchy, without being too baggy. It isn't noisy, like some of the nylon pants.
If I could make one change, I would add a zipper to one of the pockets, either front or back.

Audio Interface + Control Surface + Control Room Manager = MasterControl
Its a simple equation, and we know that as a musician, youre not fond of math, but MasterControl really is the sum of its three distinct studio-management factors.
MasterControl eliminates your need for individual analog and digital audio interfaces, speaker switching and routing units, mixing and transport-control surfaces, hardware volume controls, and more. The only piece of gear you need to input all of your sources into your DAW; the only piece of gear you need to control recording and editing; and the only piece of gear you need to run professional tracking and mixing sessions is MasterControl. We even throw in two powerful recording and production programs: Steinberg Cubase LE 4 and Ableton Live Lite 7.
Master Audio Interface
MasterControl is a 24-bit, 192kHz, high-resolution, low-latency audio interface. It is capable of nearly any input type and quantity, with a flexible and generous output section. It features low-latency FireWire computer connectivity for Mac and PC. The single cable carries all audio and control data from MasterControl to your DAW.
MasterControl contains eight analog inputs. Inputs one and two offer XLR connection, high-definition, discrete-design preamplifiers, 48V phantom power, and channel inserts. Inputs three through eight contain 1/4" TRS, line jacks. MasterControls input section can be expanded to handle up to 24 simultaneous inputs, including dual ADAT Lightpipe, coaxial, and optical S/PDIF. Six analog outputs and 16-channel MIDI I/O further extend MasterControls impressive I/O capabilities.
Extensive Control Surface
MasterControl contains hands-on controls for confidently running tracking and editing sessions. Multiple banks of assignable controllers enable access over 50 software parameters in real time.
Nine touch-sensitive, 100mm, motorized, capacitive Alps faders deliver the hands-on mixing experience that mixing in software with a mouse simply cannot rival. MasterControl has eight assignable knobs that access three control banks each and two banks of eight assignable buttons that access two control banks each. Dedicated transport controls and a multifunction jog wheel complete the tactile control package.
MasterControls DSP-driven internal mixer enables hardware-direct monitoring with zero discernable latency. It employs the industry-standard HUI protocol for communication with all popular DAW software, and requires no mapping for seamless interoperation. Building upon the standard, MasterControl also enables editing of templates and presets for customization. A large, dedicated display provides real-time visual feedback of all actions, and preview button allows safe audition of controls prior to sending commands to the DAW.
Control Room Management
MasterControls built-in speaker switching enables you to easily switch between multiple sets of monitor loudspeakers for ease of mix-accuracy checks. An internal talkback microphone enables easy communication with musicians while tracking.
Three pairs of independently assignable stereo outputs with dedicated, active mute buttons place the engineer squarely in the drivers seat. With flexible, direct monitor routing, sources are assignable through any and all output pair(s). Dual, independently assignable stereo headphone outputs with independent gain controls further extend the output capabilities of MasterControl. The dedicated talkback microphone can be engaged from the control surface or using an optional footswitch.
Superior Audio Processing
MasterControl employs an advanced DICE II chip with JetPLL technology for clock-stable firewire-audio streaming and routing. JetPLL nearly eliminates audio-band jitter, greatly improves imaging, and decreases digital noise, all of which combine to deliver peerless sync.
As digital audio devices are added to a system, they increasingly create system-additive audio-band clock jitter. Variation between device clocks can actually fall outside the ability of some devices to cope, causing failure. JetPLL is extremely tolerant of wide variations in clock frequencies. Its hybrid design incorporates noise shaping to virtually remove audio-band jitter. This technology ensures the highest possible converter performance, resulting in better separation.
MasterControl contains 114 dB, 24-bit, 192 kHz stereo analog-to-digital converters. Sampling, analog-to-digital conversion, and anti-alias filtering are performed by MasterControls 24-bit, stereo ADCs at sample rates up to 192 kHz per channel. They employ a 5th-order delta-sigma modulator followed by low-latency digital filtering, eliminating the need for external anti-alias filtering and providing excellent noise rejection.
MasterControl also features 114 dB, 24-bit, 192 kHz multi-channel digital-to-analog converters. MasterControls uncompromising DAC system begins with digital de-emphasis, ATAPI channel mixing, digital-interpolation filtering, and an oversampled delta-sigma modulator. Audio is fed to the differential analog outputs through a multi-element switched-capacitor stage with low-latency IIR low-pass filtering.
Software and System Compatibility
MasterControl comes with a powerful software suite for recording and sequencing.
It includes Steinberg Cubase LE music production software with a full range of tools for audio and MIDI recording and mixing, and Ableton Live Lite, a production and performance program enabling you to create, produce and perform your music all in a single application.
MasterControl is an HUI+ control surface, meaning that it is uniquely programmable with HUI and Mackie Control compatibility for use with all popular DAWs, virtual instruments, and other audio software on Mac and PC.

By, Adam K. Fetterman
One of the most anticipated matches in the 2010 FIFA World Cup took place on the second day of the tournament. The US and England faced off and ended the game in a 1 – 1 tie. Both teams should be happy with the result. While the US is definitely happy, as they were considered the underdogs, England does not share the enthusiasm. With a one point lead, the goalkeeper from England, the game's proclaimed country of origin, allowed an easily blocked ball to sneak into the goal off the foot of one of their US rivals, a country in which soccer has yet to catch on. The disappointment over the goal, and the subsequent tie with the little favored underdog, left despair on the faces of those associated with the team. Indeed, the news media and bloggers have devoted much space to writing and showing pictures of dejected England players, including goalkeeper Robert Green and injured star David Beckham.
The facial expressions depicted in these images can give us insight to what these men were feeling. When someone sees a facial expression of emotion humans automatically mimic the expression of positive and negative emotion (Dimberg, Thunberg, & Elmehed, 2000). Through these mimicked facial movements, we are able to recognize the emotion being expressed. Therefore, when someone sees a picture of a sad-faced David Beckham, then one can get an idea of how he is feeling in that moment. In fact, we may even be able to feel what he is feeling. Ruys and Stapel (2008) showed that facial expressions are indeed emotion messengers, but are also emotion elicitors. So, one may feel bad for Robert Green when presented with his saddened face. However, since facial recognition acts the same with positive emotions (Dimberg et al., 2000), a different emotion would likely be recognized on US soccer players' and fans' faces: Happiness.
