Black spot disease?
I have had a small yellow molly for about 2 months now. When we bought her, she had a small black speck on her tail - I just thought this was her coloration. However, about 1 month ago a new spot appeared on her side. She was doing fine, no scratching, still eating, swimming normally, etc... so I have just been keeping an eye on her. This morning, I noticed 2 more spots on her (another on her side and one one her top fin) for a total of 4 spots. They are very small and do not seem to bother her at all, but now that they seem to be multiplying more rapidly, I know that it can't just be her coloration, it must be something else. The only odd characteristic with her is that she has not grown at all since the day I bought her. She is still exactly the same size and I would have thought she would have grown at least a little in 2 months. :?
I have done my research and have read that it could be black spot disease, but I have not read exactly what or how to treat it. I have an anti-parasite medication or an ich medication I could use, but not sure which one would be better.
I just moved her to my hospital tank to be on the safe side though. For now, I plan on just keeping an eye on her to see if more spots develop. If so, does anyone have any suggestions on how to treat it? None of the other fish in my main tank have developed any of these black spots.
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 5
Ammonia - 0
Thanks :)
if it is true black spot disease or more properly
an infestation of Paravortex member turbellarian flatworms.
then a treatment with any copper based medication will cure it.
however you must be 100% sure it is black spot and not something else
like natural skin pigmentation or burns caused by ammonia, no2 or no3
or someother unknown toxin.
I can not stress enough how powerfull copper is and overdoseing will wipe out an entire tank. you should not use it in tanks that contain snails,frogs or crabs or any tank that has mormyinds or other scalesss fish.
checkout www.fishdoc.co.uk for a good guide to fish ilnesses and treatment,
although primarily aimed at Koi it is mostly applicable to all freshwater fish.
Thanks for the info.. I just have her in a quarantine tank and I am going to watch her to see if any new spots appear. If I am positive it is the black spot, then I will begin treatment. If nothing happens in a week or two, I will probably just put her back in the main tank :)
Re: Molly...
treating for anything should be the last resort, observation and
research are the keys to all health problems

To this day, the BB7 continues to attract all types of riders who crave the simplicity and elegant function of the world's best cable-actuated brake. It's more powerful and is easier to set up than any mechanical disc ... ever. Details including the dual-pad adjustment knobs, easy pad replacement, precision ball bearing actuation, and infinitely variable spring tension details ... mean control like you've never felt before. Plus, using any of Avid's Ball Bearing Disc Brakes means that you can choose one of their levers with Speed Dial for sweet, adjustable modulation. Isn't the freedom of choice swell? Avid's Speed Dial levers for sweet, adjustable modulation. You can't get that on any hydraulic. Last but not least, this year Avid gave the BB7 a tasty new finish, new inboard/outboard adjustment knobs and a beefy two-piece, forged body.
Brake cables and housing aren't included with this product, but don't worry we got you covered. Check out our Cables & Housings section right now!

I just love these calipers. I promise, they WILL stop when you say "when" (To: Dave Grohl). Anyway, I switched over from my old Hayes So1e hydraulic set-up to the simplicity and beauty of this mechanical system - a nooice move on my part, I must say. These are a great alternative to the often messy and expensive hydro-dominated world. And aside from the small and infrequent adjustments (depending your riding habits) to nudge the pads inward, these are IMHO waaay less work to maintain. Now, you won't see me on RedBull Rampage or ANY such event - I mean, I don't think I'll ever reach GoPro/YouTube level (backflip 360° can-cans off 40' drops... not in the repertoire) - so I don't really need the hair-splitting level of modulation you get from a good hydraulic set-up. Nor do I need to shave grams/ounces off my perfectly decent Tassajara. With all of this in mind, Avid BB7s are perfect for my level and style of riding.
For the same price, and with the same AK-47 reliability, you can get a TRP Spyke. Do it.
I've been using the same calipers that came stock on Fisher from 2005. Reliable is an understatement. I take care of them with routing maintenance, but have had no mechanical issues whatsoever. Highly recommended for an inexpensive, reliable mechanical disc brake.
I put this BB7 on the front (only) of my old S-Works FSR. Fantastic feel and stopping power. Installation was super easy, as well. Buy it.
I have 2 bikes with these brakes. Very happy and will buy again when time comes.
I've had these more than a year now. I use these brakes mostly on road conditions and the occasional XC ride. I use this on my everyday commuter/spare mountain/beater bike (Trek 3500 disc 2013). Initial looks and installation of it; I would say this was my first major upgrade to my first good mountain bike. The stock brakes (Zoom calipers with 160 mm. rotors) were literally pieces of junk! The pads were about the size of a penny and the lever pull was REALLY hard. The installation was hard for my dad and I (we were novices then). However, we did gain the help of a good mechanic at our LBS on alignment and stuff like so. Initial operations. Boy, this was soooo easy to pull compared to those "Zoom" brakes. On top of that, new 180 mm. rotors made stopping faster and easier. Features. This brake system is extemely user friendly. Install mounts, screws and washers and turn both alignment knobs towards the center of the caliper until the pads contact the rotor. Slightly pull on brake lever and tighten securing bolts. From there, the pads should be 95% perfect. I'll explain why it isn't 100%. So the pads that came with this were *a little* out of shape. Some metal was sticking up (little "spikes") For a novice then, I noticed the pad set was not completely flat on its surface. While at the shop I pointed it out to mechanic and he got to work. He removed the pad and started filing the defected parts of the pad until the surface was flat. This fixed the issue perfectly. I removed one star for this. There was a slight whirring sound on the rotor when this occurred. Also the rotors were just very generic and made more of a sliding feel when stopping. It felt like slipping rather than grabbing, but I was still able to stop very well. What I mean is that it still was strong, but not grabby strong. So it's been about a year and a half since I got these. Of course, one needs to replace the pads and rotors. However, I replace those often because I ride this bike about 7-10 miles a day and I use the brakes regularly with care. I replaced the pads with original BB7 pads and new 160 mm. HS1 rotors and that restored the brakes to their factory settings pretty much. The rotors brought weight down and more of a grabbing feel. Along with new cables and housing, it seemed that both stopped smoothly and basically like new! Taking care of your components is very satisfying and saves you $$ in the long run! Overall: As new brakes, they stop very well despite being not broken in. Also, they are user friendly. They modulate smoothly and stop well. They require experience with repair and replacement, but that is all worth it in the long run. Highly recommended.
Replace an old set of hydro's with these for maintenance ease. These blew me away with the adjustability and stopping power they provided. Highly recommend for anyone who wants the stopping power of hydro's but not the price or mess!
Loving these brakes! awesome, instant stopping power. awesomely adjustable! would highly recommend them to anyone
I've been using these on my mountain bike for 4 years after initially realizing the rim brakes were holding me back from going downhill on trails I wanted to ride. The best thing about them is how easy they are to adjust, they are a world of difference from the BB5.
I bought this part to replace a Tektro caliper that came with a new Trek 3700D. Both the front and the rear Tektro brakes went out after less than 20 rides. The front one's stationary pad wouldn't stay adjusted. The rear one kept on popping loose when squeezed. The shop replaced the front one on warranty with a Clarks CMD11. The Clarks part had no stopping power. The wheel keeps spinning no matter how hard the brake is squeezed. The Avid BB7 is so good it is incredible, so much better stopping power than either the Tektro or the Clarks. It is also so much easier to adjust as well. You can tell the difference by just squeeze the lever. The Clarks part has this mushy feeling that you can still squeeze more but the wheel won't stop. With the Avid part, the break lever comes to a crisp stop. So does the wheel. I will wait to see how durable the Avid BB7 is.
Of all the Avid products I have owned, the BB7 is the most reliable product in their brake lineup. Reliable, easy to adjust, easy pad replacement, solid build, VERY affordable. Not a light weight as other products, but hey, what's a few extra grams relative to the cost. Avid's hydraulic brake line? I am un-impressed - their Juicy line was not worth the $$$.
Well, my last review said I had both 180mm. However, I downsized to a 160mm rear to save some weight. The rotor of choice is a Hayes v5 160mm, I think, but it is a great combination with the caliper. I upgraded my brake levers to Shimano Acera, which is also a great combination! Overall, the combination on weight, power, and modulation is on my side until the pads wear out. Stopping power is almost the same as its new condition. I accidentally contaminated the front brake with pneumatic tool oil (which I use to lube my coil fork seals) and it was kinda hard to get out because it supposedly absorbed in the pads. It also caused it to fade on the rotor, so I will replace the front rotor and pads. Also, keep them pads clean!
These are awesome brakes! Easy to install and really good stopping power. Have been using them for 6 months with no problems. No squeaking, no fuss, no problems.
The BB7s are very easy to adjust while on the trail and provide a confident brake feel. Setup when first installed was a bit tricky, from my experience the best way to prevent rotor rub is by first turning the inner pad closer by a full rotation of the adjustment knob, then bring the outer pad in to touching and back both out in order to get that solid brake feel.
I wanted a cheap solution for a solid wire disc brake setup and this fit the bill. I have only started just using it, so I have not had to use the adjustment knob, but I can tell that it will be more convenient than trying to fit an allen key through the spoke to make adjustments. The entire assembly is well made and it comes with the two brackets for various mounting positions as well as washers. It also comes with a rotor that I have not used yet, but am keeping as a backup (they are a bit heavy). They are well built calipers and have great spring actuation and I'm very happy with them paired with my avid SD-7s.
I've run these brakes on 2 bikes for a few years now, and have had no issues whatsoever. Highly recommended.
I've use hydrolics and BB7 brakes over the years. I've never had a problem with BB7's. I don't have to bleed anything, I'm not impacted by freezing temperatures, and it's super easy to work on the trail (if you need to).
Out of all of the disc brakes I've had or come across, this was by far the most easiest to set up and responsiveness with the addition of the speed dial levers made this just more sweeter.
I have BB7s on 4 bikes. They're simple, relatively inexpensive, and easy to maintain and adjust. I don't want to bleed brakelines, sorry.
The ideal brake set up for those riders who desire all the benefits of disc brakes without the hassle of hydraulic maintenance. Avid is the best in regards to simplicity of installation. Requires very little to keep it going once set up. I am not a hard core rider, nevetheless, friends who are, rave about it as well. Get a set, install it, and have fun. You won't be disappointed!
I bought an original set of these brakes when I did my first SS build. I was out to save $$, but I also knew a friend who had constant issues with his hydraulic actuated brakes. Being an aircraft mechanic by trade, I opted for this mechanical system. I have been riding, and racing this system now for going on six years I think. I have not had any issues. I like the system and its reliability, plus stopping power, and controllability so much, that I bought the latest and greatest for my new high-end build. A Niner, Air-9 Carbon, geared racing monster!
Great, lightweight and reliable. Easy to install and setup, even for a novice like myself. Good stopping performance and exponentially quieter than my previous XT rim v-brakes.
Best mechanicals you can buy. Very adjustable. Great modulation when paired with avid speed dial levers.
i prefer the mechanical over hydros for easy of maintenance, stopping power is good they respond very well, but i still cant get the chirp out =P
I just ordered two of these to put on my Specialized Rockhopper to replace the old hydraulic Magura brakes. They are great. I have always preferred mechanical brakes over hydraulic just for simplicity and easy tuning on the trail. These stop fast and fit perfect. I would recommend these to anyone who is looking for a good set of mechanical brakes that won't break the bank.
What a great deal on these Avid BB7 Mechanical Disc Brake kits. I purchased one set for the front of my mountain bike with the 160mm disc, a long overdue upgrade from rim brakes to discs. After purchasing a new set of wheels equipped for discs, I was surprised at how easy the Avid BB7 front disc brake kit was to install and adjust during initial set-up. Once installed, I took my bike for an off-road test ride and was very impressed with the Avid kit's stopping power. Actually, I was so impressed, that when I got home, I went ahead and ordered an identical set of the Avid BB7 Mechanical Disc Brakes to replace my stock rim brakes on the rear, too! Installing the rear kit took a little trial and error, as the first mounting bracket I used of the two that were provided with the kit had the caliper rubbing on the top of the disc rotor. Once I swapped out the mounting bracket with the other bracket provided, the fit was perfect and there was plenty of rotor clearance and the brakes worked perfectly. With spring riding at the peak right now in my area and with the weather conditions being very unpredictable and wet, I am very confident, no matter rain or shine, that I can stop on a dime now, thanks to this pair of new Avid BB7 brake kits that I've installed. Overall, an excellent value for the performance and price.
I upgraded my stock brakes on my trek Marlin to these and were much better, but I still think spending a little more for hydraulic brakes would be worth it. I have adjusted and tuned these many times and just can't get the response I want.
I replaced my cheapo stock rim brakes with these (160R/180F + speed dial levers--also rec'd!), and what a world of difference it has made! Setup and adjustment was incredibly easy, despite never having installed disk brakes before. As for the ride experience, these brakes have given me the confidence to go from groomed singletrack to downhill, rock laden descents. The consistency, modularity and sheer power of these brakes has opened up a world of trails for me. If you're running rim brakes on your xc/trail bike and they just aren't cutting it, these will not disappoint. They might just amaze you. And, on a related note, I have tried my friend's (more expensive Hayes Stroker) hydraulic brakes, and he tried mine. I still preferred my BB7's, and when his Stroker's wore out he bought some BB7's. You simply cannot get better disc brakes at this price...or anywhere near it. Super highly recommended!
I got the 180mm F and 160mm R and these have been quiet, smooth and some pretty good stopping power. I have ridden in dusty very dusty to muddy rainy conditions and they stop me every time.
i removed the 160 tektro stocker brakes from my GT Avalanche, put these bb7's on, 180 up front and 160 out back, quiet, smooth, responsive brakes, top notch in mechanical disc performance!
These brakes are awesome! I bought the 180 mm. set and they are more than perfect on my bike. The actuation is absolutely dialed and I love the feel. The simplicity in adjustments amazes me. The pads aren't even worn out yet. The only two things that annoy me are when dirt gather up in the pads and make an annoying squealing sound, and when they get wet with water, they make an annoying humming sound that vibrates the whole bike. Otherwise, I gave it five stars because it still brakes powerfully like when I got it!
I used these to replace my Hayes Stroker brakes when they failed. I was wary of switching my hydraulic to mechanical but after a couple hundred miles, these brakes have delivered! Great stopping power, easy adjustment, easy set up; these are the most reliable XC brakes that I've used and at an awesome price. Totally fail proof from what I've seen.
Easy setup, easy adjustments, easy pad replacement, better stopping than my stock brakes...important for a clyde going downhill! The hardware even comes pretreated with appropriate threadlock. Works fine with my stock levers but looking forward to complementing them with some Speed Dials. Have a bigger T25 driver for easier installation. Mine was missing so had to make do with the small one it came with.
Killer price on killer brakes. It doesn't get any better than these for mechanical discs. Set up and tuning i a breeze.
Have had these for years, never had an issue. Install and adjustment are super easy, lever feel and modulation are spot on. Hydraulics might feel a little smoother at the lever, but for the price and ease of maintenance/reliability you can't go wrong with these bad boys...
Replaced front rim brake with this. Love these brakes. Nice feel, good stopping power, and very easy to adjust.
Never mind my last review. I fixed the rear brake myself by pushing the rim to the left to stop the rubbing. It worked PERFECTLY. Great stopping power for the price.
My dad bought these brakes because I had VERY cheap stock disc brakes with really small pads. These brakes are cool, easy to press, and I love the features. The only thing is I have to replace my rear disc brake because the caliper on the left side is permanently tweaked. Not a bad brake, and has EXCELLENT stopping power compared to my other brakes.
Replaced my BB5s with these AWESOME BB7s. Braking has never been better. Got them dialed in amazingly with some SD7s as well. Glad I purchased these to replace the BB5s.
I love these brakes. My first "real" mountain bike came with hydraulic brakes, but they were super touchy and hard to maintain. I felt like I was always adjusting them and my rotor was constantly rubbing. I decided to try the BB7s and haven't looked back since. These brakes rock! They are super easy to setup and adjust. If your brake starts to rub for some reason on the trail, you can adjust these WITHOUT TOOLS! If you get the adjustable brake levers, you can even adjust the modulation (how hard you have to pull to stop) in a snap. Plus, they are relatively inexpensive. There are lots of good youtube videos and plenty of information online to help with setup as well. I will never go back to hyrdraulic brakes unless they make them as "adjustable-on-the-fly) as these.
I recently ditched my rear hydraulic shimano brake & plan to do the front as well. I pared this BB7 with the Avid Speed Dial 7 Brake levers. Some say it is a down grade. I chose to do this for reliability and ease of maintenance reasons. I have a 29er hardtail & went with the big 200mm rotor on the rear. I know most of the braking is on the front rotor but again I chose this for longevity & low maintenance. The Brakes pull is smooth and strong, no sudden surprises or overheating with this big rotor. The hydraulics does pull a little longer & with "slightly" less effort but I LOVE the BB7's & plan to do the front soon! Totally worth the price & PricePoint shipped FAST!
BB7 ROCKS! Easy to install. Easy to set up. And easy to maintain.

The Story
Babushka Baba Yaga Story
The Story (From Leah Polacco)
"She was the last of her kind. A creature of legends. A being of the forest. She ruled her woods alone."
Although Baba Yaga is known throughout Russia as a "terrible, horrible" creature that eats children, she is really a very sweet woman who exhausts her days watching in admiration of the village babushkas. How she does wish to have a grandchild of her own!
Baba Yaga decides one day to dress up as a babushka and go into the village where she might find a grandchild to love. As luck may have it, she encounters Victor, a little boy in need of a babushka, and offers his mother Natasha to care for him in exchange for a place to stay.
Victor and Babushka Baba Yaga become fast friends, and although at last she is content, Baba Yaga becomes very worried when the two overhear the other babushkas telling tales of the "wicked" forest creature. Fearful that Natasha and young Victor will discover her true identity, Baba Yaga returns to the woods where she belongs. However, not for long
Although I will not reveal the surprising but happy ending of Babushka Baba Yaga, Patricia Polacco's story is a reminder that, "Those who judge one another on what they hear or see, and not on what they know of them in their hearts, are fools indeed!"
"Polacco's art here is better than ever, with deep colors, expressive faces, and varied compositions."
--Bulletin for Center of Children's Books
"A rich melange of patterns and textures - and even a sprinkling of forest fairies."
--Publishers Weekly
"Kids will respond to the joyful story of the outsider who gets to join in."
"Ms. Polacco's characteristically exuberant illustrations, showing expressive peasants in folkloric costumes and settings as well as lurking, peeking, and flitting forest creatures, animate her heartwarming tale."
--New York Times Book Review

Babushka Baba Yaga Activity Ideas
Although Baba Yaga of "Babushka Baba Yaga" is known throughout Russia as a "terrible, horrible" creature that eats children, she is really a very sweet woman who exhausts her days watching in admiration of the village babushkas. How she does wish to have a grandchild of her own! One day she decides to dress up as a babushka and go into the village in search of a grandchild to love. As luck may have it, she finds Victor, a little boy without a babushka. Although Victor and his mother Natasha grow to love and accept Baba Yaga, she is afraid they will discover her true identity, and consequently, returns to the forest.
When Baba Yaga's identity is revealed at last, the book reminds readers, "Those who judge one another on what they hear or see, and not on what they know of them in their hearts, are fools indeed!" Although this lesson is stated plainly within the text, the story is filled with valuable lessons for children.
Below are several discussion questions created to help children arrive at their own interpretations of the previous quote, as well as discover the other lessons hidden throughout the story. I strongly encourage that after you have finished reading Babushka Baba Yaga to your class, you initiate a discussion of the book with the following questions.
Discussion Questions:
1. Baba Yaga was known as a terrible, horrible creature, when in fact, she was really a very sweet woman. What did she most likely long for, in addition to a grandchild? (Love, acceptance, family?. She wanted others to see her for who she truly was and not judge her by her looks or the tales they heard about her)
2. When Baba Yaga decided to go into the village to look for a grandchild, why did she have to wear a disguise? (She knew the townspeople feared her, and would consequently, reject her)
3. What does it mean to judge someone? Why is judging someone without knowing him or her, wrong?
4. When Patricia Polacco wrote, Those who judge one another on what they hear or see, and not on what they know of them in their hearts, are fools indeed," what did she mean?
5. Like Baba Yaga, have you ever been the new kid in a school, neighborhood, community, or family? How did that make you feel? Did those around you accept you?
6. Patricia Polacco has written a lot about teasing. Can excluding someone based on how they look, speak, walk, or act, be considered a form of teasing? Why or why not?
7. Unfortunately, at one time or another, we have all been guilty of judging another person. Describe a situation where you have passed judgment, before getting to know another individual. (Although this question acts as a lead-in to the next question, it asks a lot of students and requires them to be very open and honest. Try opening with your own example. It doesn't necessarily have to be a negative situation? For example: ?When I first met my husband he was always cracking jokes and I didn't think he could take anything seriously. When I got to know him, I discovered he was a very serious person with a great sense of humor.?)
8. How can we avoid passing judgment on others? (GET TO KNOW THEM!!)
9. What are some ways you can get to know other students at school? (Invite them to sit with you at lunch, play with you at recess, hang out after school, etc.)
10. Baba Yaga returned to the forest because she was afraid that if Natasha, Victor, and the other babushkas discovered who she was, they would reject her. When her identity was revealed, why was Baba Yaga still accepted by the other babushkas?
We here at Patricia Polacco .com want you to challenge your students to be better to each other! Here's how it works
Hopefully your discussion of Babushka Baba Yaga has your students thinking about ways to be less judgmental, and more accepting of their peers. Now, we want you to challenge them to make the difference in your school. Over the next week, each student is to find at least one person in his or her school or neighborhood who they do not know, and GET TO KNOW HIM OR HER!! Be sure you have already discussed ways to make this happen. As you know, some students are less outgoing than others. Likewise, some students are less receptive of new friends than others, so discourage your students from giving up after one attempt.
After one week, students are to report back to your class, with a brief oral account of how they got to know someone new and how their relationship with that person has developed. I strongly encourage that you have your students share with one another
They'll be surprised to hear how their classmates have been excellent to others!
Other Activity Ideas:
1. Victor, who did not have a grandmother of his own, quickly accepted Baba Yaga as his loving babushka. First, have your students talk about their grandma or grandpa and what that person means to him or her. Some students may not have a grandparent in their lives, so encourage them to talk about a certain individual in their lives who cares for, and loves them (maybe a nanny, babysitter, aunt, uncle, or parent). Next, have your students write a letter of thanks to that special person, acknowledging the difference he or she has made in their lives. If your class has Internet access and the students have an e-mail address for that person, have them send a Baba Yaga virtual postcard instead of writing a letter. Or, photocopy the Baba Yaga mini-poster and have your students write their letters on the back.
2. Print off the Baba Yaga bookmark and photocopy it for your students. Have each student write on the back, one way they can be better to others. Laminate them for your students to keep in their books, as a reminder of THE CHALLENGE.
3. Quiz your students' knowledge of the book with the Babushka Baba Yaga quiz.

gasoline stockpile fell -3.11 mmb to 210.80 mmb while distillate
added +0.28 mmb to 153.11. The market expects the DOE/EIA will
report a -0.5 mmb and -0.95 mmb drops in crude and gasoline
inventories respectively. Distillate stockpile probably rose +0.9
Brent crude initially climbed higher to 114.65 but then
faltered to 113.55, probably on profit-taking after the 6 days
rally. Expectations that oil production in Libya might soon
resumed have eased concerns over output tightness. Italy's Eni
SPA signed a memorandum of understanding with Libya's National
Transitional Council (
), pledging to create 'the conditions for a rapid and complete
recovery of Eni's activities in Libya'. Eni was the largest
foreign producer in Libya. Before the civil war broke out, Eni
was producing 273K bpd of oil equivalent in the country. The 2
parties are committed to 'doing all that is necessary to restart
operations on the Greenstream pipeline [by mid-October], bringing
gas from the Libyan coast to Italy'.
As we mentioned before, 85% of the Libya's oil is exported to
Europe, including Italy, France, Germany and Spain. Suspension of
output over the past 6 months has affected European refineries.
Yet, even if oil production in Libya can be resumed on schedule,
we do not expect a full return of the country's 1.6M bpd
production this year and not even next week. Indeed, we are only
looking for 15-30% of production to return to normal over the
coming half year.
Concerning macroeconomic data, Eurozone's unemployment rate
unexpectedly rose to 10% in July from 9.9% a month ago. For
Germany, the jobless rate stayed unchanged at 7% in August but
the number of unemployed dropped -8K in August from -10K in the
prior month. As expected, preliminary CPI rose +2.5% y/y in
August, same as July's reading but remained above ECB's +2%
Comparison between API and EIA reports:
-0.34 mmb

from operators of refineries. Data from the API and DOE have
moved in the same direction 71% of the time over the past 52

EMERGENCY MESSAGE TO U.S. CITIZENS September 14, 2012
U.S. Embassy Tunis
September 14, 2012
Demonstrations are expected to take place today in the vicinity of the U.S. Embassy, and the security situation remains fluid. Media reports also indicate that demonstrations may take place in the Kasbah area in central Tunis. The U.S. Embassy remains open; however, access to the area around the Embassy may be restricted due to the demonstrations. If the security situation requires further changes to the availability of public services at the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy, updates will be posted on the Embassy website: http://tunisia.usembassy.gov.
U.S. citizens should remain cautious and avoid areas where large gatherings may occur. Even demonstrations or events intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence. U.S. citizens in Tunisia are urged to monitor local news reports and to plan their activities accordingly. U.S. citizens should review the current Country Specific Information for Tunisia.
For the latest security information, U.S. citizens living and traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs Internet website at http://travel.state.gov, where the current Worldwide Caution, Travel Warnings, Travel Alerts and Country Specific Information can be found.
In addition, the Embassy encourages U.S. citizens to review "A Safe Trip Abroad," which includes valuable security information for those traveling or living in foreign countries. You can also follow the Bureau of Consular Affairs on Twitter and on Facebook or download our free Smart Traveler App, available through iTunes and the Android market, to have travel information at your fingertips for travel information at your fingertips. Up-to-date information on security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the United States and Canada, or, for callers outside of the United States and Canada, on a regular toll-line at 1-202-501-444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays).
All U.S. citizens in Tunisia are encouraged to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). U.S. citizens without internet access may enroll directly at the U.S. Embassy. By enrolling, U.S. citizens make it easier for the Embassy to contact them in case of emergency.
The U.S. Embassy in Tunis is located at Les Berges du Lac, 1053 Tunis. For emergencies after business hours and on weekends and holidays, U.S. citizens can contact the Embassy Duty Officer via the Embassy switchboard at 216-71-107-000.

Mixed reception for audit proposals
Following business secretary Vince Cable's announcement that he planned to remove many companies from the UK statutory audit regime, Steve Collings took soundings from practitioners and other interested parties.
Vince Cable grabbed a bundle of headlines with his pledge to save 42,000 small firms up to £40m per year by reducing "red tape" – by which he meant the need to produce statutory, audited accounts. Leaving aside the accuracy of his savings estimate, Cable missed the mark somewhat in the way he presented the audit exemption proposals.
Mark Lee pointed out that what most people think of as "small businesses" are already exempt from the obligatory independent audit. The exemption proposal would only affect those companies with a turnover above £6.5m. Unless small companies voluntarily require an audit (as some companies do) or are forced by their financiers or other interested investors to do so, many small companies would not necessarily benefit from a share of the forecast £40m savings.
Abbreviated Accounts
The second aspect of the government's plan would remove the need for "small" companies to file abbreviated accounts at Companies House. In an Any Answers thread Towards Excellence asked about the likely outcome of this idea.
The proposal has been on the agenda for a while and is still at the consultation stage. But practitioners I spoke to did not see the benefit of this exemption, and I am inclined to agree with them. If HMRC requires full financial statements to be prepared for tax purposes (which they will continue to do so), the costs to a small company of filing abbreviated financial statements is minimal. Let's face it, it's not "expensive" to the client, nor the accountant, to prepare the abbreviated accounts and file them, particularly where reputable accounts production software is in place.
Audit exemption for medium-sized entities
Removing the need for an audit from medium-sized entities is probably the focus of most controversy. The Institute of Credit Management strongly opposes the idea, saying that many smaller firms in the UK will suffer reduced credit ratings as a result. Most of the accountancy bodies took a strong stance against the proposal, raising concerns about the ability of small and medium-sized entities securing finance, particularly in light of the stringent processes now in place at banks. Many companies are required to have an audit by their investors despite the fact that they might otherwise qualify for exemption, so they won't benefit from the proposals.
Auditors I have spoken to are concerned about the impact these proposals would have on their practice. One said her practice would lose 25% in fees if these proposals are introduced and wondered if Vince Cable had thought about the impact this would have on the auditing profession. The practitioner concerned said she would have to make two of her four audit staff redundant.
What I think
Many practitioners – particularly in smaller firms – would like to see the back of audits. In some of these cases, it has to be said, the practitioner has made no effort at all to try and do an audit, but instead put together an accounts preparation file hoping this will suffice. Often they will then blame the standards for being too long-winded.
Over burdensome auditing standards, complex legislation and overly-complex accounting standards (the ASB have admitted the current FRS/SSAPs/UITFs have become overly-complex) are the primary reason for practitioners having had enough of auditing. However, an audit is not necessarily a bad thing if you can execute it profitably and sensitively in a way that improves the client's business and operations. If the client can see the benefit (as mine do), then how can it be dismissed as red tape?
Whatever happens with these proposals, the duty of care we owe to clients will still be just as important. Lots of auditors coped when the thresholds went from £350,000 to £1m and firms will do the same if these proposals are implemented.

I have always thought ...
... that there should be some sort of statutory assurance report for any company with turnover between the VAT threshold and the audit requirement, just to focus on the financial aspect, and not all the other bits that go with an audit (going concern review, compliance with legislation etc etc) to be signed off by regulated firms, and the files for which are subject to monitoring. We did have this for a brief period and I never understood why it was relaxed.
No half measures
Compulsory Audits should just be for plcs
If you run your own business, even if its turning over £50m, why should you pay for something you dont want.
It says above ''Audits and the files are not for regulatory benefit'' beg to differ in my opinion there are 2 halfs to an audit
a) The part you make sure the numbers are right..which is what the client wants
b) The days and days you spend filling in regulatory checklists..which is what the regulators want and the client doesnt care about
As an auditor you have do both prperly and if you dont want to or can't be bothered, you dont have to do it, go and work on something else.
The opinion from the coal face...
Half measures
I agree about the audits not being aimed at smaller companies but I can also agree with some clients wanting an audit. We were told on a seminar that auditors should not be producing audit work purely for the Institute regulators but for the benefit of clients and the firm itself which I agree whole heartedly with and so did one Inspector who came to visit us last year.
I for one don't see these proposals coming in as too many politicians have tried this before and it's never happened. I say we should simplify as much as possible and make audits fit for purpose which will please everybody.
Abbreviated accounts
If Vince Cable's proposals to scrap the abbreviated accounts what will take their place? Would he remove the requirement to fill accounts at all or will he require full statutory accounts to be filed. This is an increased disclosure requirement which will cost money not save it
As other comments have said, I get my abbreviated accounts by clicking the "Abbreviated" button my accounts production package. Alternatively, just complete the downloadable version from Companies house
I'm confused :(
Eligible companies don't 'have' to file abbreviated accounts, but they might chose to do so. Conversely they 'have' to have full accounts for the members and HMRC. Accordingly the abbreviated accounts are not a compulsory burden but an optional extra.
Has Mr Cable given up on his campaign to make the banks lend? Seems like it, but he's been noticeably quiet for a while! lol So this worthless sop to 'small businesses' is presumably him easing back into things? Shame really, I thought he could have made something of the banking situation.
Companies do have to file accounts that's why they have the ability for limited liability. Surely these proposals go against this concept as if they're not going to be publically available then how can this be in line with company law?
The old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" springs to mind.
Consolidated Accounts
Why not tackle the most ridiculous change in recent times of medium sized groups having to prepare group accounts. This is the biggest waste of time and money for the client with absolutely no benefit to any one. The sooner this is got rid of, the better.
Why not..................
................ just abolish Vince Cable.
I am sure THAT would save a vast amount of money. :-)
Lets be serious
Other than being forced to by statute, the requisite number of shareholders or the bank, who on Earth is going to choose to be audited (and pay for it)?
I still don't really accept that for the majority of SMEs that require an audit there is anything that can be done in practice to make it a worth while experience for them especially considering the costs, not just in terms of the audit fee but time management time spent answering questions and so on.
Audit Exemption USA subsidiary
I have had an enquiry this week from a US company based in 'the valley'.. to set up a subsidiary company in the Uk, to take a number of employees in the UK.. I have discussed the amount of the audit fee, for the work to be done on a small company.. and suggested it could be cheaper elsewhere in the EEA. A Doggett FCA
Audit requirement
In some respects I am a purist, if a company has the reight to claim Limited Liability then it has the obligation to file financial statements in the correct format, available for public view and the public has the right to know that the accounts are, in fact, "true and fair". I know the report of the auditors was to the shareholders but the company gains from Limited Liability, let it pay its obligations. Anything else is just window dressing
Consolidated Accounts for medium sized companies
Agree totally and completely with this statement. But its the numpties that put forward these proposals in the first place that we should be replacing.
I think they are setting themselves up for a fall ...
An audit I'd a great way to add value to a clients business by taking an active role in understanding their internal controls and systems, an thoroughly reviewing their financial information.
It isn't as big a burden as the constant increases in employment legislation.
If they do increase the threshold I am certain you will get more tax and corporate fraud.

Sierra College athletics in top three once again
By: Staff Report
The athletic program at Sierra College was once again the No. 3 outfit in the state in 2009-10. The California Community College Commission on Athletics and National Alliance of Two-Year College Athletic Administrators released the final standings for NATYCAA Cup, state associations division. Sierra tied with Riverside in the rankings for overall athletic excellence. "Our coaches and great student athletes are to be congratulated for another incredible year of sports excellence," said John Volek, Dean of Athletics at Sierra. "I am so proud. We will receive our fifth trophy from the NATYCAA at our awards luncheon, on June 22." This year Orange Coast College (Costa Mesa, CA) topped the final standings with a score of 167 points, winning the prestigious award for the second time in its seven year history, with the other NATYCAA Cup being awarded for the 2006-07 season. Finishing second was Mt. San Antonio College (Walnut, CA) who was just 1.5 points behind with 165.5, followed by Riverside City College (Riverside, CA) and Sierra College (Rocklin, CA) with 141 points each. Orange Coast's spring sports were very successful, gaining them the award after being in seventh place after the fall. Rounding out the top 10 were Santa Rosa Junior College (Santa Rosa), Fresno City College, American River College, Sacramento City College, Ventura College and Cerritos College (Norwalk, CA). A college is awarded points based on its teams' final positions in post-conference competition. Each school's top five men's and top five women's team results count toward the school's overall point total. The winners will be recognized at the NATYCAA Awards Luncheon, held during the 2009 NATYCAA Convention, June 18-21 at the World Center Marriott Resort in Orlando, Florida. Awards will be presented to the top three colleges, and the top 20 schools in the division will receive recognition. NATYCAA is the professional organization of two-year college athletic administrators.

SYDNEY, October 30. CHAMPION swimmer Ian Thorpe has taken out restraining orders against two Sydney people who he believes are a threat to his safety.
Vernon Ray Hopkins, 32, and Taylor Martin, a 27-year-old exotic dancer, are prevented from coming within 20 meters of Thorpe or the pool where he trains.
The pair had earlier been charged with stalking Thorpe in February, after a number of notes appeared on his car's windscreen while he trained at Sutherland pool in Sydney.
The charges were dropped yesterday.
One note told him not to wear quarter-length pants and was signed "The Phantom" and another asked Thorpe to date a particular woman.
In a brief statement, Thorpe said the events had been very distressing for him and his family and that he wanted to put the matter behind him and concentrate on his swimming career.
"At a time when all of us have our families' and our own security uppermost on our minds, none of us can be too careful," Thorpe said.

Vicious' Scizor is a bug/steel-type Pokémon that was owned by Vicious.
The Iron-Masked Marauder sent his Scizor after Ash and company. It also battled against Ash's Bayleef. Like all of Marauder's Pokémon, Scizor was also caught with a Dark Ball, having its power charged to the highest level. Despite this, Bayleef was able to defeat Scizor with a Razor Leaf-Vine Whip combo. Later, after the Marauder was unmasked, Scizor was seen disappearing into the Ilex Forest along with Sneasel, now being freed.

kissing chromis ?????
Im am quite new to salt water aquarium as my tank is only 12 weeks old. It is a FOWLR tank with 3 x blue green chromis, 2 x clown fish, 1 x coral beauty, 1 x foxface rabbitfish, 1 x lawn mower gobbie and 1 x anenome (pink tipped).
My tank is 300 litres and levels are all good.
My query is that i have noticed two of my chromis are kissing. They dont seem aggressive but im not sure.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Em x
Never heard that one before. If they were aggressive towards each other, you would see them chasing each other all over the tank.
I have a shoal of 5 of these fish in my DT and while I sometimes see inter-species aggression between them it is not anything serious. I would think that this kissing maybe a non-aggressive way to see which is the strongest individual in the shoal. I know kissing gouramis exhibit the same behavior. I video maybe be particularly helpful here.

Orange-carmelized onion salmon
I'd planned on plain baked salmon until I saw a version of this recipe on the back of the box. It sounded good and, even more importantly, it sounded quick. So I gave it a try.
I'm glad I did. Dad liked it better than the salmon itself - which, to tell the truth was overcooked. I had to put the leftovers away quickly because spoonsful kept finding their way to my mouth. The recipe makes more than enough for the 12 ounces of salmon we had - I plan to use the rest over chicken.
The kids wouldn't try it, though Big Guy did eventually agree to taste a miniscule bite of salmon. "It's not as bad as I thought it would be," came his ringing endorsement.
Orange-carmelized sauce for salmon
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tbl. butter
- 1 c. orange juice
- 1/2 c. white wine
- 1/2 tsp. tarragon
- 3 tbl. butter
- 3 tbl. flour
Cook onion until brown in 3 tbl. butter. Add orange juice, wine and tarragon and simmer for three minutes. Melt the rest of the butter and add flour. Add to orange juice mixture and simmer until thickened.

Flanked by students wearing "Buzzkill" T-shirts outside the state Capitol on Wednesday, officials of both teams said they would hold sports clinics for students this week and also teach them about malaria and show them how to raise money to fight it.
Nothing But Nets began nearly a year ago when Sports Illustrated writer Rick Reilly, who grew up in Colorado, urged anyone who had ever enjoyed playing a sport that involved a net to contribute $10 to buy an insecticide-coated sleeping net.
Since then, the United Nations Foundation has worked with sports teams, churches and other groups in seven cities including Miami, Houston and Chicago to coordinate the effort and promote donations. New York will be added in April.
United Nations Foundation president Tim Wirth said $1.5 million poured in within a week of Reilly's column last May, and $18 million has been raised so far, enough to buy 700,000 nets.
"This is something that people can actually see makes a difference," said Wirth, a U.S. senator from Colorado from 1987 to 1993.
He said a total of 300 million nets are needed, enough to fill 18,000 shipping containers.
Wirth picked up enough money for two more nets—along with an official proclamation announcing Nothing But Nets Week—from Gov.
Ritter said he saw the danger malaria posed in remote rural villages while serving as a missionary in Zambia with his family in the 1980s. He said his wife and one of his sons came down with the disease.
"It's $10 for each person in my family who has had malaria," Ritter said, handing over a folded $20 bill.
Rapids President Jeff Plush and Nuggets community ambassador Mark Randall announced their teams were joining the campaign.

The latest bracketology has State as a #7 seed. This is probably about right at this point from a big picture perspective. Outside of Baylor the Big 12 not getting much respect, but the seeds match rankings pretty closely with a few exceptions (like Iowa). Other teams of note:
Baylor #1
Kansas #10
KSU 2nd 4 out
Texas Tech #10
Texas Not in
TCU Not In
Seven of Ten teams in the dance. The three that are out are no surprise.
nvm wasnt paying attention
Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."
oops, wasn't paying attention that this is for the women......

I still think both us and Iowa end up in the tournament, however we end up with a much better seed.
It really sucks that we lost to them. It could turn out that their victory over us will be the deciding factor in getting them in the tournament, as we may end up being that much needed 'good win' out of conference that they would lack if they had lost to us.

Prime cube partnership
Problem 131Published on Friday, 10th November 2006, 06:00 pm; Solved by 4973; Difficulty rating: 40%
There are some prime values, p, for which there exists a positive integer, n, such that the expression n3 + n2p is a perfect cube.
For example, when p = 19, 83 + 82×19 = 123.
What is perhaps most surprising is that for each prime with this property the value of n is unique, and there are only four such primes below one-hundred.
How many primes below one million have this remarkable property?

PANAMA CITY BEACH -- Mayor Gayle Oberst said she and the city manager have already received emails from citizens who were shocked by the video in FOX news and Hannity's spring break investigative report.
According to TDC president Dan Rowe spring break is only a small part of the TDC's focus, only $100,000 of a $15 million advertising budget is spent on spring break.
Still March is usually the 3rd biggest revenue month of the year which is when most spring breakers make their way here.
He also says he's not too concerned about this report, claiming previous negative reports have not hurt tourism.
"Spring break has been happening on Panama City Beach for 10 or 20 years. Our revenue continues to grow. We are one of the strongest communities in the state since the great recession and the deep water horizon oil spill," TDC president Dan Rowe said.

its origin is greek/hebrew it means delight, foundness, or pleasantness
a BabyCenter Member says
Actually, it wasn't "equal" rights for women. This was not a political dispute. It was for the recognition of inheritance rights for daughters to inherit their father's property IF there is no son (or son-in-law), or brother (to the father) to inherit. These women were not married at the time they were entering the Promised Land and would have had nothing by which to survive until they married. Their petition to Moshe had NOTHING to do with "rights for women" but for the desire to not see their father's portion of land lost. In addition, they were instructed to NOT marry outside their Tribe, lest they forfiet their inheritance by increasing another Tribe's land portion with the portion of Land given to their Tribe. The point: Tirtzah (spelled with 2 "T"s) was "strong" in her quest for justice; but it was not just for her and her sisters as "women", but was ALSO for their father and all fathers/daughters in the future. I know this, my name is "Tirtzah"

Two weeks ago, President Obama announced his new plan to address climate change.

While his announcement predominantly addressed domestic efforts and the challenges for congressional action (he will instead use his executive powers to implement his proposed plan), President Obama touched upon a number of international actions. He re-visited the pledge he made in Copenhagen in 2009 for the U.S. to reduce emissions by 17 percent from 2005 levels by 2020.

It can be very scary to watch a child have a seizure. Fortunately, for most children a seizure is a one-time experience. If not, a pediatric neurologist can help.
