2010 GRC Wish List: #10 Increased Agility
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 768 Visits
Rounding out the 2010 GRC Wish List at #10 is "Increased Agility to Respond to New/Changes in Regulations." While there's a lot of talk about regulatory reform, and Gordon Burnes noted that "Regulatory Clarity" was #1 on the 2010 GRC Wish List, we may be getting closer to actual regulation this year.
President Obama, in his first State of the Union address, called for "serious financial reform." He stated, "We can't allow financial institutions, including those that take your deposits, to take risks that threaten the whole economy. Now, the House has already passed financial reform with many of these changes. And the lobbyists are trying to kill it. But we cannot let them win this fight. And if the bill that ends up on my desk does not meet the test of real reform, I will send it back until we get it right. We've got to get it right."
As regulatory pressures continue to mount, and given that the regulatory environment will only increase in complexity, businesses that take a more practical, cross-regulatory approach to managing compliance will alleviate increasing cost and complexity while gaining valuable insight into risks to key business processes that could affect corporate performance in the form of legal action, fines and penalties or damage to company reputation.
This is where the need for "Increased Agility" comes in. Your risk and compliance processes will evolve over time to meet these changing business and regulatory requirements. Your GRC solution needs to be flexible and allow you to quickly adapt your risk and compliance management framework to meet changing requirements, while minimizing the impact on your business operations. Be careful of solutions that either force you to change your processes or develop custom extensions to the software to meet new regulations or requirements. Changes to your methodology due to an inflexible technology solution will negatively affect your ability to incorporate integrated risk management into your business operations.

2010 GRC Wish List: #4 Risk Expertise
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 315 Visits
Several months ago I had the pleasure of presenting with Richard Brilliant, Carnival's vice president and chief audit executive of Audit Services in a Compliance Week webinar titled: "Leveraging the Power of Integrated Risk Management". Richard began his presentation by asking a very telling question: "Who specifically is best suited to manage risk in your organization?" The answer of course was "Everyone". After all, enterprise risk management is about managing risks across multiple risk and compliance disciplines as well as across multiple business units. In other words, ERM requires everyone's participation to be truly effective and risk awareness and expertise must be instilled at all levels of the organization.
Coming in at #4 on the 2010 GCR Wish List, Risk Expertise is something that needs to start at the top. Risk expertise is a skill set that boards are looking for in their executive teams and is something that could potentially find its way into regulatory reform this year.
Sponsored by the UK government and published this past fall, the Walker Review recommends overhauling the boards of banks and other big financial institutions by requiring the Chief Risk Officer to have a reporting line to the risk committee, in addition to strengthening the role of non-executives and giving them new responsibilities to monitor risk and remuneration.
Some of the specific recommendations in the Walker Review include:
It is clear that risk management will be under increasing scrutiny in the UK (and across the globe), and that risk expertise will be increasingly important in 2010.
Do you agree?

2010 GRC Wish List
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 313 Visits
We recently had an interesting discussion on what GRC professionals are hoping to achieve in 2010. We had so much fun we decided to publish a 2010 wish list for risk and compliance managers. The list is based on conversations we had with our customers, prospects and industry experts over the past several months.
Why are there 10? Well, as George Carlin mused in his skit about Moses and The Ten Commandments, "because 10 sounds official. Ten sounds important! Ten is the basis for the decimal system, it's a decade, it's a psychologically satisfying number (the top ten, the ten most wanted, the ten best dressed). So having ten commandments was really a marketing decision!"
All kidding aside, we'd love to get your reaction to our list and see if we left anything out. We'll drill down into more detail for each one over the next ten days! Here's the list:
What's on your wish list?

2010 GRC Wish List: #3 Risk Culture
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 309 Visits
It's become clear that a risk-aware corporate culture is of critical importance to an organization. In the past year alone, we've seen plenty of examples in the news where a lack of risk-aware corporate culture has hurt companies, some beyond repair. Coming in at #3 on the 2010 GRC Wish List is a "Robust Organizational Risk Culture".
While it is critical to be thoughtful, disciplined, and strategic in your approach, it's also important to understand how technology can promote a risk-aware culture and become a tool to embed effective integrated compliance and risk management practices within an organization. It can act as a training and awareness tool, a marketing tool, and can help build accountability and push policies and processes into daily activities.
Where does your organization rate?

2010 GRC Wish List: #1 Regulatory Clarity
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 291 Visits
If you're in the financial services sector, any GRC manager's wish list includes regulatory clarity for 2010. In the depths of the financial crisis, the Obama administration promised financial services regulatory reform. President Obama himself remarked during his inaugural address: "But this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control." But what has happened since then?
2010 GRC Wish List: #8 Strong Reporting
John Kelly 270004J7VQ email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 235 Visits
If nothing else, the financial crisis of 2008 has driven home the need to improve reporting to the organization regarding risk posture and exposure. As we look to 2010 and beyond, risk and compliance processes will no doubt evolve to meet changing business and regulatory requirements. Coming in at #8 on the 2010 GRC Wish List is "Strong Reporting with Easy-to-Use Formatting." While the value of strong reporting is clear, a few challenges remain:
What reporting challenges does you organization face?

2010 GRC Wish List: #9 Easy to Adopt Risk Applications
Patrick O'Brien 270004PR46 firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 233 Visits
One of the key themes that developed during 2009 was that risk management is more crucial than ever to organizations, and failing to deal with it is not an option. Companies are seeking ways to gain a more complete picture of risk, assess exposures across business lines and aggregate these into a firm-wide view. Collaboration with and support from the business lines is critical to achieve these goals as we discussed in #2 on our list: "Better Collaboration with the Business." But if you are looking for better collaboration and you're investing in risk management systems (#6), you probably can also relate to #9 in the 2010 GRC Wish List: "Risk Applications that are Easily Adopted by the Business."
How do you support adoption of your risk management application by the business? Here are a couple of things you might want to consider:
Providing a risk management solution that is easily adopted by your business users will be a key enabler for achieving actionable risk management: where risk and compliance activities are an integral part of everyday business operations.
Is your current risk application enhancing your risk management practices or getting in the way? Let us know about your experiences with deploying risk management applications and what has helped or hindered their adoption.
Risk Management at Davos
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 232 Visits
Risk management is a hot topic at Davos this year. Over on the Forbes blog, Paul Maidment notes that companies are thinking about how to improve their risk management approach, prompted in part by the new SEC proxy disclosure rules, though many are opting not to have a so-called risk committee. Maidment notes that management is responsible for educating board as to the state of risk exposure in the company. We would argue that there's a step that has to happen first: companies have to put in place an information architecture that can provide transparency to that exposure in the first place. A rat's nest of Excel spreadsheets won't do the job.
Bernanke Goes on the Offensive

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke went on the offensive yesterday at the annual meeting of the American Economic Association, arguing that lax regulatory oversight, not loose monetary policy, led to the housing bubble and subsequent financial crisis. You can read his remarks here.

Casa Che B&BPlaya del Carmen, Mexico
Excellent hostel to stay in Playa del Carmen. The price is a little bit expensive, but you stay in a very beautiful house with access to beach. The breakfast is amazing, also you can use the kitchen freely during all day, including the pasta and rice. The hostel is clean and the wifi is excellent. Very close to 5th avenue (the street of bars, souvenirs, ferry, fun ...). I definitely recommend this hostel.
The YakPlaya del Carmen, Mexico
This Hostel are amazing. The environment, the staff, the location, all things including the price. Every day there are an activity to do in the hostel, for example, pasta nigh, free trip to Akumal, Mojito´s night, etc. The room that we stayed for a couple is very big, with kitchen and other facilities. The staff are friendly, so we could keep our luggage for two days while we are in Cozumel. The breakfast is simple but good. We definitely recommend this hostel.
Hostel Mundo Joven CancúnCancun, Mexico
This hostel is located in central area of Cancun, near the bus station. So you can get a bus to Chichen Itza or to beaches very quickly. The room is very comfortable with cable tv and air-conditioning. The breakfast is simple but good. Wifi is also good. The only bad thing was the shower of our room that wasnt working and you have to press the button every 20 seconds to get water, different of other rooms. So get off of 305 room. It was good except to have to take a bath in my friend´s room.
Hotel Perla del LagoCopacabana, Bolivia
The Hotel Perla del Lago is a good place to stay in Copacabana. It is a little expensive to Bolívia price but the room was very good and the shower was excellent. This Hotel are close the main street with all restaurants and near the boat trip (only 5 minutes walk). The wifi did not work in the room and the PC is old and slow (so we could not access the internet). The breakfast is excellent, but strange because there was a person looking for what you eat (not too cordially).

I should recommend this hostel.
Hostel BambuFoz do Iguacu, Brazil
This hostel is a good place to stay in Foz do Iguacu. The staff is excellent and helpful. The location is near the central area of the city with bars and restaurants, You could do it just walking. One problem that we find was the low number of bathrooms The hostel was crowded and we had to wait more than 30 minutes to use it. The breakfast is american type with bread, eggs, sausage, coffee and juice. If you want to stay in a hostel near the central area we recommend.
Green House HostelFoz do Iguacu, Brazil

Royal Road Residence PraguePrague, Czech Republic
This hostel is incredible. The staff is very, very hopefull, we get in Prague at 8:00 AM, our booking started at 14:00, but the staff stored our baggage until the time. This is the best hostel that we have been during the trip (Germany, Belgium, Holland, C. Rep.). The location is fantastic and the beds are excellent. I recommend this hostel not just to my friends, but to everyone. EXCELLENT.
Jaeger's MunichMunich, Germany
This hostel is located near the central station. The staff is a little bit rude (but not all). The beds are not so good by the price that we paid (this was the expensive hostel in our trip, so we expect a little bit more). The room is good with place to store your bagage.

Snuffel Backpacker HostelBruges, Belgium

Helter Skelter HostelBerlin, Germany
This hostel is located in a good region of Berlin. The staff is very helpfull. One negative point is the cleanliness, but this issue derived from the people that stay in the hostel also.
HI Lua CheiaNatal, Brazil
No customer comment
Hostal Lili-PatagonicosPuerto Natales, Chile
This is a good hostel but there is some issues that could be improved: we were hosted in a room near the reception so there were a lot of noise during the night. One thing you can improve is to remind the people staying in the reception after 12.00 to be a little bit more quiet but everthing else was incredible, everything else was incredible. The breakfast was fantastic. I would definetely recomend your hostel to my friends.
Hostel Nakel YenuEl Calafate, Argentina
We were hosted over 7 hostels in our trip in Chile/Argentina, this was the best hostel that we ever been. The environment on this hostel is excellent.

Good social areas with computers to enter in internet. In other words: EXCELLENT. I recomend to all.
Cruz del Sur HostelUshuaia, Argentina
The hostel is good, but the breakfast is a little bit late, so if you are going to make an early trip problably you have to buy something to eat. The location is very good. Only weak point is the shared bathrooms that are wet and not so clean (but this is a problem of guests too). Also, the staff is very good and helpful. It is a good option to stay in Ushuaia!
Hostal AinilPunta Arenas, Chile

Hey, ludicrous Left: what?s up with your Christophobia? Why so intolerant, Ms. Tolerance? What are you afraid of?
Are you afraid we?re going to bring dignity back to this country? Are you afraid righteousness is once again going to be re-introduced into our land, before you licentiously sink it?
Are you afraid of absolute truth being tabled into the public arena and ruining your randy relativism? Are you afraid of personal accountability and responsibility? Are you afraid that the moral law is going to wreck your amoral life?
Is that it? Is that why you?re working overtime to shut Christianity out of the public arena? Will Christianity ruin your narcissistic fantasy starring you as the center of the universe ?
or, for you, would that be multiverse?
My ClashPoint is this: Listen, concerned Christian?even though the times are going to get tougher than Joan Rivers? elbows before they get any better in the United States of Liberal Acrimony, we must not acquiesce. It?s time, ecclesiastically and politically, to fight the tolerance movement?s intolerance of our faith, which was the faith of our Founding Fathers and the faith that has sustained our nation?s state of blessedness.
As Christians, we must preserve our rights and freedoms and not allow the Left to shove their Liberal doo-doo down our collective throat. This means we are going to have to get off our collective butts and intellectually fight?NOW!?against the intolerance of Christianity by the ?tolerant? liberal and hypocritical Left.

Gore Verbinski's The Lone Ranger hits July 3rd, and it seems sort of perfect for the Independence Day weekend. It's a western on a massive scale with plenty of explosions and bullets to spare, but if the trailers so far haven't sealed the deal, this last one should do the trick....

Review: Squids Odyssey
Jul 21
// Darren Nakamura
Squids Odyssey (3DS, Wii U [reviewed])Developer: The Game BakersPublisher: The Game BakersReleased: May 22, 2014MSRP: $14.99 Squids Odyssey tells a tale of a band of squids fighting against corrupted shellfish in the only way they know how: by pulling back on their legs and slingshotting themselves into the enemies. Since the view is top-down and the action is all happening underwater, gravity does not play a part in the physics. Instead, squids and shrimp bounce around like billiard balls, taking damage for each hit or being defeated completely for being knocked off an edge. Additionally, there are four classes of squid to choose from, each with its own special abilities. Scouts can dash to go further in a turn or impart more momentum on a target, shooters can hit enemies without having to get close, troopers can perform an area-of-effect slam, and healers can bounce into friendly units to restore some health. Each level has a unique setup, including points of interest like jet streams that will push units and objects further along, anchors that can be used to keep from being moved during the enemy turn, and powerups that confer a range of random benefits. [embed]278394:54948:0[/embed] As a base concept, it's neat. Taken a few levels at a time, it can be a decent time waster. However, it does not really live up to the lofty claim of mashing up a tactical role-playing game with physics-based action. Certainly, players must employ some forethought in order to be successful, but the fact that success is based also on execution detracts from the tactical focus. Additionally, the role-playing elements seem entirely superfluous with the game as it is. As the player progresses, pearls are spent to upgrade the squids' stats, but it does not have a tangible effect on gameplay. As attack power increases, so does enemy health and defense, so where it takes roughly two to three hits to defeat a shrimp in the beginning, it stays that way despite the character progression. Though it uses the Wii U GamePad's touch screen and allows off-screen play, Squids Odyssey still betrays its status as a mobile port. The menus work fine on the touch screen but were clearly not designed for a D-pad and buttons, and every input has a slight lag that makes it feel unpolished. The game locked up entirely for me once, forcing a hard reset of the console. Despite all that, Squids Odyssey is not bad. One of its high points is the colorful, hand-drawn artwork. Though most stages in any one set have a similar look, they are almost all unique backdrops, and the underwater setting makes for some beautiful environments. The sound design and music fit the theme as well. Though it is not bad, it is neither great. The basic gameplay concept is fine, and it works as a way to pass time in short bursts. It seems like it could work better if it were a pure skill game rather than the hybrid it is, and it surely would work better on mobile or handheld. The sheer volume of content available for the relatively low price is commendable, but while there is a lot to play in Squids Odyssey, there is not a lot to really love.

Candy Crush studio's next game, Bubble Witch Saga 2
May 22
// Dale North
Bubble Witch Saga 2 is a bubble shooter, like Taito's Bubble Bobble, or popular mobile game Snood. King says that they wanted take advantage of the ripe market as well as create a bubble shooter with new gameplay elements. There's every type of match-three game out there now, but not much in the way of bubble shooters. I got a good look at the upcoming title during a recent King studio visit. Playable in both portrait and landscape mode, shooting bubbles at the play board requires only a tap. Aiming is done by holding and sliding a finger, with a release sending the bubble flying. The primary goal is to match three or more bubbles to clear them from the game board, with the hopes of clearing the entire board with the allotted number of bubbles. Beyond this mode, a couple more additions mix up the standard action. Rescue maps have you shooting bubbles that surround captured animals to free them. In Wheel Mode, rather than clearing the top row of bubbles, you'll shoot at a formation that spins from the force of your shots. With the latter, you'll try to aim your shots to control the spin and take out the bubbles surrounding a captured ghost, with the goal of freeing it. This is a new new...spin on the old formula, and requires some patience at first. King has taken the bubble shooter and applied their own tried and true mobile games formula, so expect the same leveling structure as Candy Crush or Farm Heroes Saga as well as the same dedication to regular content updates. Also expect the same time-based play limitations and prompts selling you additional turns (in this case, five more bubble shots) as their other titles. For the latter point, it should be noted that I was able to complete more than 20 levels without needing to have to buy turns. Bubble Witch Saga 2 is easy to get into, but after the first dozen levels I found that you really have to be strategy minded to clear the maps using only the allotted shots. Simply matching colors isn't going to cut it -- I had to maximize every shot to make each one count. Strategies like aiming from the top and using bouncing trick shots helped a bit. I felt I would have had a bit easier of a time with a longer bounce trajectory line, but even that wouldn't have made some of the later levels (beyond level 50) any easier. The later maps are huge and their challenge level is pretty high. King says that a worldwide launch for Bubble Witch Saga 2 is planned, and that we should see it very soon on mobile platforms as well as Facebook.

Status group
The German sociologist Max Weber formulated a three-component theory of stratification that defines status group[1] (also status class and status estate)[2] as a group of people who, within a society, can be differentiated on the basis of non-economic qualities such as honour, prestige, and religion.[3] The German terms are Stand (status group) and Stände (status groups).
Since the time of Max Weber, the matter of "status incongruence" has been much studied in post-industrial societies, and especially in under-developed countries because of the intervening social factor that is religion.[4]
Weber said that status groups emerge from "the house of honor", and that such status-honor is in contrast with:
- social class, based on economically determined relationship in the house of the marketplace.
- political party, based on affiliations in the political domain, or the house of power.
These are the constituent concepts of the Three-component theory of stratification. Discussion of the relationships among status groups, social class, and political parties is in the essay "Class, Status, Party", written before the First World War (1914–18); the first translation to English, by Hans Gerth and C. Wright Mills, was published in the 1940s. A newer English translation of the essay, titled "The Distribution of Power within the Community: Classes, Stände, Parties" (2010), was by Dagmar Waters and colleagues, and published in the "Journal of Classical Sociology"; the title of the new English-language translation includes the German word "Stände" (status groups) in place of the English term.[5][6]

I have a friend who is a hoarder. He owns somewhere in the vicinity of 25,000 books, along with numerous DVDs and videos. He's in his seventies, so this represents a lifetime of collecting. His house is jammed full of the things, along with a large storage shed in his back yard, not to mention two off-site storage units. His wife is furious, and he is slowly coming to the painful realization that a lifelong dream of his — that he could merrily collect books and spend his retirement years reading them — is nothing more than the most ghostly of fantasies. He's retired now, and he's too overwhelmed to read any of his books (most of them he has no idea where they are). At this point, never mind reading them; he'll be doing well just to sort through them.
His wife is demanding that he winnow his collection by 95%. That will still leave him over a thousand books — which means, if he reads two books a week, he'd still have a decade's worth of reading material.
I've offered to help him. This is dangerous stuff, because I have a bit of the hoarder in me. I'll be tempted to want to buy some of his books from him. But the truth is, my hoard at age 50 is probably not too different from what his hoard looked like when he was my age. So I have two reasons for wanting to help him: first, because he's my friend and I'd like to see him dig out from his mess; but more importantly, because I want to face the hoarder in me (of course, my friend may well need professional counseling before this is through, and I may have to be the one to tell him that this is necessary).
The problem with hoarding is this: the bigger one's collection (of anything, not just books), becomes, the more time is spent managing the collection rather than simply enjoying it. I probably have somewhere between a thousand and fifteen hundred books. Even with that relatively modest sized library (at least, modest compared to my friend's holdings!), it's amazing how much time I can spend trying to find a book that's misplaced, or organizing my bookshelves, or purging my library (which I do on occasion, given how many new books I acquire, both in terms of purchases I make for my own research, and the relentless parade of complimentary review books that publishers send me, hoping that they'll get mentioned on this blog). I probably spend as much time fussing over my "little" hoard as I do actually reading books. Getting to know my friend, and seeing his out-of-control hoard, is something of a wake-up call for me. If I don't make the right choices today, I could end up like him in 25 years.
Academics, booksellers, writers, amateur philosophers and theologians… I know a lot of people who have book collections larger than my own, and who feel that their profession or avocation requires this of them. For years, I would have "library envy" whenever I met someone who had a more impressive catalog than mine. But seeing the chaos that has overtaken my friend's life, and recognizing that the seeds of such a fate lie within my own restless heart, has given me pause to consider if, when it comes to a personal library, maybe (like so many other dimensions of life) smaller really is better. Okay, so maybe a thousand books is not unreasonable for a middle-class American who is a professional writer. But does my library ever need to get any larger than that? I don't think so. Which means that as new books come in, old books need to go. Books that I've read and have no desire to re-read, or don't expect to use for research. Review books that I'm not interested in. Books that were acquired for a project that is now complete. And, increasingly, books that I may need for reference purposes, but can own electronically (yes, that's a dangerous loophole: I'm only saying 1000 hard copy books. But I've come to realize that I just don't enjoy reading ebooks, so I only own them for reference purposes — after all, it's easier to find a specific word or phrase using Kindle's search function than by flipping through pages of a paper text).
Hoarding is related to anxiety. For years, I was loathe to let go of any book that was out of print or generally difficult to find. I still have a significant number of books (hardcover editions of the Classics of Western Spirituality, or my hardcover books by Merton and Underhill) that I simply cannot imagine letting go of, precisely because they would be difficult and expensive to replace. Every time I load a box to go to the used bookstore, a little voice insists, "But what if you find out you need this or that book the next time you sit down to write?" I firmly remind this inner doubter that it's better to get rid of 100 unwanted books even if I eventually re-acquire 2 or 3 of them, than to do nothing… and end up like my hapless friend.
So the opposite of hoarding, ironically enough, is trust — and faith. Trust that I'll always have, or be able to locate, whatever books I need, both to enjoy reading and to complete the work I want to do. Faith that a small, carefully chosen collection of books is far more useful than a large, unwieldy hoard. And faith that at this stage of my life I need to be doing more praying and meditating, and less reading anyway!
So , dear reader, pray for my friend, that he can find the inner strength (and faith and trust) to do the hard work of letting go of some 24,000 books (don't worry, if we decide to have a monster yard sale, I'll post word of it on this blog). Pray for me, that I can be clear about setting boundaries around my own nascent urge to hoard — and spend less time fussing about books, and more time reading (or praying or meditating). And if you are a book hoarder, I invite you to join us on this adventure of owning less stuff and appreciating the spirituality of letting go.
