Global Education: Study Abroad
You'll want to pay close attention to the pre-departure instructions that your program provider will give you. Read everything and share with your parents. Below are general guidelines for what you'll need to travel internationally. You will be given instructions for specific documents or procedures that are country-specific.
Preparations for Departure
You should plan to take several documents — and keep them in a safe place separate from your passport:
- Photocopy of the photo/information page of your passport
- Photocopy of any visas you may have for your program
- Photocopy of your airline ticket(s) or printout of your e-ticket.
- Insurance policies
- Also leave copies of these documents at home with your family
How: For complete details on how to apply for a passport, what is needed and how much it costs, visit the U.S. Department of State website.
Where: There are many acceptance facilities in Washington State. To search for passport issuing offices check for the nearest Passport Acceptance Facility. The closest acceptance facility to SPU is the downtown Seattle USPS located at 301 Union Street (between 3rd and 4th avenues.)
When: It takes about six weeks for regular processing and two to three weeks if you request expedited services. Applicants who need a passport in less than two weeks, or need one to obtain a visa in less than four weeks, can schedule an appointment at the Seattle Passport Agency.
Do you need a Visa?
Some countries require foreign travelers to obtain a visitor or student visa before they arrive. Your program will provide you with information and documentation for any required visa. If you are coordinating a visa on your own, contact the consulate of the country you plan to visit for specific information about visas.
Other Items
It is a good idea to carry several passport-size photographs of yourself, in case you need these for special identification while overseas. When having the photos taken, remember that the more pictures you have taken, the lower the price will be per set.
Power of Attorney
If you are receiving scholarships, loans, or grants that require your signature while you're studying abroad, consider leaving a Limited Power of Attorney with the Financial Aid Office. Call 206-281-2061 for more information. If you plan to turn over your power of attorney to your parents or someone else for the duration of your study abroad experience, fill out the form and have it notarized.
Money Matters
Traveling to a foreign country requires extra consideration on how you will use and access funds. Read through our Money Matters document for a general overview on accessing money while overseas.
Absentee Ballots
If you choose to vote during up-coming elections, follow the procedures of the state in which you are registered. Youth Vote Overseas is a helpful resource for determining overseas voting requirements.
"Pack so little that you won't believe how light your suitcase is!"
—Former Study Abroad Student
Travel Light!
The amount of luggage that you carry, especially if you plan to travel before or after your program, can make a tremendous difference in the enjoyment of your travels. Follow this rule of thumb:
- Pack everything you think you will need, then reduce it by half
- Take your luggage for a walk – carry it up and down some stairs
- Reduce it by half again
- For valuable advice on packing light and right visit the website of Seattle travel writer, Rick Steves
Something we frequently hear from returned students is that they took too much stuff. Said one student , "In most cases, you will not be leaving the comforts of the modern world; other countries have hair dryers, computers, clothes, shampoo, etc., and you can buy those items overseas. Resist the temptation to over-pack, and instead think about what you can live without during your overseas stay.
You will be responsible for carrying your luggage through subways, hoisting it into trains, and possibly even having to walk a few blocks with it. Luggage carts with wheels can be life savers, but probably won't fare well on uneven ground. Rememeber: If you can't lift it by yourself now, you won't be able to hoist it once you reach your destination!
Climate and Topography
Research the climate and topography of the area to which you will travel and study abroad. You may change what you want to take with you.
Baggage Insurance
All participants should have their baggage insured. Simple insurance plans are available online and at travel agencies. Including packed cameras, clothing and incidentals, your baggage is worth at least $300–$500.
Plan to be covered from your date of departure until the date you arrive home. Check with your airline to find out what coverage, if any, is included in the price of your ticket.
Information Sharing
Save your parents or guardians from anxiety by telling them everything about your program. This information is deeply ingrained in your own brain, but have you told anyone else? Go over any and all information your program sponsor sends you, even if it seems trivial or non-essential.
- Write down dates, places, contact phone numbers, time differences, addresses, itineraries, town and university names. Make two copies: one for you to bring and one to remain home with your emergency contact.
- Assume your family doesn't know anything about your program. This is probably the first time they are sending their child overseas for an extended period of time.
- Keeping your loved ones informed will help calm their potential anxieties or worries.
International Student Identify Card
Some programs offer student an International Student Identity Card (ISIC) or you can purchase on on your own. Your card will provide discounts on airfares, hotels, transportation, shopping, eating out, and attractions. Features include a 24-hour help-line for medical, financial, or legal emergencies abroad, basic accident and sickness insurance for travel outside the U.S., including hospital benefits, dismemberment, emergency medical evacuation, and coverage for repatriation of remains.
While the card's benefits should not be used as the primary insurance coverage, the benefits included are an excellent "extra," and at a very low price. Some airlines are now requiring proof of student status before booking flights — the ISIC is acceptable proof. Applications are available online at STA Travel.

Huntington, WV (Sports Network) - Top high school recruit Andrew Wiggins
finally selected a school on Tuesday when he announced his intention to play
for the Kansas Jayhawks next season.
Wiggins' announcement was held in the gym of Huntington Prep School with the
only member of the press allowed in attendance Huntington Herald-Dispatch
reporter Grant Traylor, who tweeted "Andrew Wiggins will be attending Kansas."
Originally from Toronto, Wiggins had narrowed his options to four schools
before Tuesday, and selected the Jayhawks over Florida State, Kentucky and
North Carolina.
The 6-foot-8 forward was the Naismith Prep Player of the year this past
season and is the No. 1 ranked prospect in the class of 2013 according to
Wiggins, whose father Mitchell played in the NBA, will follow in the footsteps
of Ben McLemore, who declared for the 2013 NBA Draft after a stellar freshman
season with Kansas this past year. Last season, Kansas finished 31-6 overall
and earned a No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament.

The body of a man who drowned on the Chunky River has been found.
Family members of 56-year old Marcus Lavan Smith tell Newscenter 11 that they found his body floating in the river around 10:00 Saturday morning, about half a mile from where Smith went under.
Lauderdale County Coroner Clayton Cobler says the body was pulled from the river around 12:15 p.m. and is being taken to Jackson for an autopsy.
LEMA director David Sharp and other rescue officials also responded to the scene. Crews spent nine days searching for Smith before calling off the search this past Monday.

Living For The Weekend
"We are so grateful to live in this land, a land of unequaled possibility, where the son of an African immigrant can rise to the highest level of our leadership. We know today that Dr. King and a great cloud of witnesses are shouting in heaven." Rick Warren (President Obama's 2009 inauguration)
"I remember it well," sitting in the bitter cold in the midst of people, seeing and not believing what was emerging, as our minds and hearts beat as one. "Ain't it funny how time slips away." Seems like "we've only just begun" when we stood on the train platform in Edgewood, Md., numb but oblivious from the cold as we waited for the train caravan travelling to Washington transporting the hopes and dreams of our ancestors. I remember it well. By the time the train passed, I could barely raise my arm to wave but the pride on my face captured by CNN for all America to see spoke volumes.
"This girl is on fire." Fired up and ready to go. Can you believe it's been four years since millions of us stood proudly with President Obama as he raised his right hand and took the oath of office. We removed our hands from our coat pockets, removed our gloves and raised our right hand in unison as tears froze in place on our beaming faces.
"Ain't no stopping us now we on the move. There've been so many things that have held us down, but now it looks like things are finally comin' around, yeah I know we've got a long long way to go, and where we'll end up I don't know."
I was determined to witness every aspect of the first inauguration of President Obama. It was a cold weekend but nothing was going to stop me. "What a difference a day makes." "Here we go again" Four years later, we are still excited, but like anything else in life, we take certain things for granted.
"Oh Lord I want to be in that number" the "second time around" and raise my right hand in support and solidarity, however the word BUT is invading my mind i.e. but I woke up late, but it's cold, but it's too many people.
"Neither rain, nor sleet, nor dark of night shall stay these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds" Postman's Oath
But, "I'll be there" "one in a million" of people "fired up and ready to go" "forward!" Will you be there?

"Simply the best" Congratulations to Baltimore City Public Schools educator and school board member Jerrelle Francois, the recipient of the prestigious 2012 School Board Member of the Year Award presented by The National Alliance of Black School Educators at their conference in Nashville, Tenn.
"I cannot imagine anyone more deserving of this honor than Jerrelle Francois. Her entire career indeed, her entire life is one of selfless dedication to the wellbeing of the students and families of Baltimore." Dr. Andres Alonso
NABSE presents this award to a school board member who has demonstrated a commitment to representing and facilitating the educational needs of children.

We describe a method to subdivide the surface of a sphere into spherical triangles of similar, but not identical, shapes and sizes. The Hierarchical Triangular Mesh (HTM) is a quad-tree that is particularly good at supporting searches at different resolutions, from arc seconds to hemispheres. The subdivision scheme is universal, providing the basis for addressing and for fast lookups. The HTM provides the basis for an efficient geospatial indexing scheme in relational databases where the data have an inherent location on either the celestial sphere or the Earth. The HTM index is superior to cartographical methods using coordinates with singularities at the poles. We also describe a way to specify surface regions that efficiently represent spherical query areas. This article presents the algorithms used to identify the HTM triangles covering such regions

3PL news: Saddle Creek expands into Chicago and Jacksonville
August 26, 2011
Third-party logistics (3PL) services provider Saddle Creek Corp. recently announced it has opened new facilities in Chicago and Jacksonville, Fla. as part of its strategic plan to grow organically and through new business.
"The expansion was prompted by customers with needs in these particular geographic areas and a desire for flexibility," said Stephen Cook, Saddle Creek's vice president of marketing and business development, in an interview. "The multi-customer environment gives each company the room to grow, but it gives Saddle Creek the opportunity for immediate expansion as well."
In its new Chicago facility, Saddle Creek will manage and oversee the logistics needs of a "major recreational vehicle manufacturer," accounting for half of the 416,000 square-foot facility and the remaining space will be used to accommodate business fluctuations and the needs of other customers, according to company officials.
They added that the Chicago facility is located within the CenterPoint Intermodal Center, the nation's largest master-planned inland port with direct access to BNSF and Union Pacific terminals. This facility is designated as a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) and Enterprise Zone, and the distribution center will be fully operational by October 1.
The Jacksonville facility will provide customers with the ability to optimize freight savings, improve transit time, and customize space for temperature-controlled products. Saddle Creek said a company specializing in wine logistics will occupy 213,000 square feet of the 375,000 square foot multi-customer distribution center. This facility is food-grade, climate-controlled with close proximity to the Port of Jacksonville and will be open in August.
Saddle Creek will staff each facility with management, operations and warehouse associates according to customer needs, said Cook.
"Existing and potential customers can benefit from the opportunity to tap Saddle Creek's integrated logistics services in new markets," he added. "Both facilities offer access to convenient transportation options and advanced systems support as well as the service excellence for which Saddle Creek is known. This will be Saddle Creek's first multi-customer facility in each of these markets."

Inmate gets 30 years for behind-bars trafficking
Published: Monday, September 30, 2013 at 5:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 30, 2013 at 5:54 p.m.
A Marion County Jail inmate who controlled and organized a drug trafficking ring from behind bars will spend 30 years in prison, a judge ruled Monday.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office arrested Kelvin V. Herrera, 31, on a warrant in July 2012 after investigating an anonymous tip. While reviewing phone calls made between Herrera and others outside the jail, authorities found probable cause to arrest Herrera as part of the ring which dealt in the sale of Oxycodone, Percocet and Xanax.
According to court records, Herrera would instruct several others how to conduct the ring, including one man who would obtain prescriptions from a doctor.
On July 19, a jury found Herrera guilty of his charges. Sentencing by Circuit Judge Brian Lambert was delayed until Monday due to a hearing.
Herrera will serve concurrent 30-year sentences for a variety of first-degree felony charges including continuing a criminal enterprise, a racketeering violation and three counts as a principal to trafficking Oxycodone,
Herrera had been in jail since April 2012 for possession of marijuana and a driving with a license either suspended or revoked.
He will receive a credit of 472 days for time served pending resolution of the case.
Herrera's five co-defendants were already sentenced to various jail and prison sentences for their involvement.

Nick Clegg has defended the coalition's controversial NHS Bill during fiery exchanges with Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman in the Commons.
Standing in for David Cameron at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, the Lib Dem deputy prime minister said Andrew Lansley's Health and Social Care Bill would deliver a "more equal" NHS.
But Harman said Clegg should tell Lib Dem peers in the House of Lords to vote against the legislation on Monday in order to make sure it did not become law.
"People are still against this bill because it hasn't changed one bit," she said. "It's still a top down reorganisation."
She told MPs: "He could stop the bill but he wont. He says the Lib Dems make a difference but they don't. What has happend to that fine liberal tradition? They must be turning in their graves."
The Labour Party has been strongly lobbying to get the government to scrap its controversial health reforms which they say are too expensive and introduce too much private competition.
Harman said that Clegg was refusing to "stand up for the NHS" as "the only thing he stands up for is when the prime minister walks in the room".
Clegg hit back by accusing Labour of creating "sweetheart deals" for private sector providers in the NHS while in power, which the coalition was now scrapping.
"The shadow health secretary says it is irresponsible to increase NHS spending. They don't believe in more money for the NHS, we do," he said.
"They presided over inequality in the NHS which again we are making a statutory obligation in this bill to deliver a more equal outcome."
He added: "The Labour Party used to believe in reform, now they believe in starving the NHS of cash and failing to provide reform."
Clegg also dismissed accusations that his party had failed to influence the direction of the Bill.
"Some of her colleagues must think the Lib Dems make a difference because they were handing out leaflets in the conference in Gateshead while her leader was throwing a sickie and going to watch Hull City instead," he said.
Ed Miliband was recently criticised for saying he could not attend a rally on health care because he was ill but then deciding to go to a football match.
|@ TimMontgomerie : Hostile #PMQs to Clegg from Tory backbenchers: Redwood on regulations, Lilley on Lords reform, @DouglasCarswell on child benefit
|@ JananGanesh : Clegg won that
|@ JoeMurphyLondon : Also interesting how many Tories are tweeting praise of Clegg #pmqt
|@ trsmith87 : Best PMQs for a while. Proper knock about. #pmqs
|@ dylsharpe : Unmemorable #PMQs. Clegg did well to repel the qus, when not angry. Harman good at condemning, but may regret tactic of slaughtering the LDs
|@ Lobbydog : Clegg doesn't even pretend to sidestep the NI question from Skinner. Just completely ignores it. #pmqs
|@ jamesrbuk : An unusually even-tempered intervention from Dennis Skinner there. Or not. #pmqs
|@ timfarron : 6-0 to Nick Clegg at #pmqs
|@ georgeeaton : Clegg says boundary changes are a cause close to the Tories' heart. Hint that it's not close to his? #PMQs
|@ AnushkaAsthana : Harriet Harman says only thing Clegg stands up for is when the PM walks into the room. BOOM BOOM! #PMQs (Clegg getting angry - love it!)
|@ GraemeDemianyk : Tory Cabinet ministers Gove, Spelman and Lansley standing in shadows at #pmqs not looking entirely convinced by the Clegg show
|@ JohnHigginson : Clegg's fourth outing at PMQs is his best yet. Harman's got lots to throw at him but nothing sticking. #pmqs
|@ EmmaFrancesCarr : Clegg is doing really well. Surprisingly well. #pmqs
|@ amyelizjackson : Hattie H sounds less shrill than usual. Maybe she learned something from The Iron Lady. #dpmqs
|@ James_Macintyre : Bizarre: Clegg attacking Labour from the left on NHS privatisation while sitting with Tories.
|@ toadmeister : @EdBallsMP seems remarkably subdued. No flatlining hand gestures. Has Harriet Harman told him to rein it in? #pmqs
|@ TimMontgomerie : I always get the feeling that Labour's attacks on Cameron are business but when they go for Clegg it's personal #PMQs
|@ openurmindnsee : balls has written harman questions, yes? #pmqs
|@ JohnHigginson : Harman kicks off with unemployment saying women are hardest hit. Clegg (doing very well so far) says went up under Labour by 20% #pmqs
|@ alexforrestitv : Liz Kendall asks Clegg what went wrong with our economy. He says Labour Govt. #pmqs
Labour MP Liz Kendall kicks off the questions by asking "what's gone wrong" with the economy.
Clegg says what went wrong "was the Labour governments for thirteen years creating the most unholy mess in 2008".
|@ joncraig : Full house for Clegg PMQs on LibDem benches below gangway too. Whole House pretty packed despite PM away in US. Lots of LibDem MPs rising!
|@ HumeBrophy : Cameron's spokeswoman tells The Sun's Whitehall Correspondent "I'm sure the Deputy PM is more than qualified to fill [his] shoes at #PMQs"
|@ joncraig : LibDems out in force for Clegg PMQs. Danny Alexander & Michael Moore in plum seats on front bench, edging out Ken Clarke & Philip Hammond.
|@ PoliticalYeti : Cringing already and #PMQs hasn't even started. Fear the DPM will take a hammering from all sides.
|@ pamela_nash : Flashing my ankles in #PMQs today. Hope @Toadmeister can cope.
|@ worgztheowl : Lucky for @Ed_Miliband that Dave's away, he'd have so much to go on he wouldn't know what to ask first. #pmqs
|@ petermbarrett : Willing to bet #Harman tries a 'gag' around #Cameron having been at a baseball game. Something about Coaltion 'swinging and missing' #pmqs
|@ JonNarcross : Always worth tuning in for... RT @cptjamesmartin The legendary Dennis Skinner MP due to speak on #PMQs at 12:00

text: I think I figured it out, it came to me while I was on my morning run. The bullet seating die is too long creating a small gap between the case and the shoulder area of die. When the bullet is seated the pressure form the seating process is bulging the base of the shoulder (see picture). I am going to take .005" off of the bottom of the seating die to see if that reduces the bulge. If it works I will post my findings as I go.

Comments about Practice Partner 72 Inch Silverline Deluxe Hockey Goal:
Great construction, great mesh for the net, using for bantam ice hockey practice in a large garage with roller blades and this net is a beast. More than worth the money pay a few bucks more for this one. Only down side if there is one is that it is a bit heavy and large and needs better instructions on lacing the net if you don't know how. Found a good video on YouTube how to lace it though. No disappointments with this one!

Comments about Practice Partner 72 Inch Silverline Deluxe Hockey Goal:
I have a shooting pad and needed a strong heavy duty net. Im 15 and i guess i have OK shots. i have hit the posts dead on with a slap shot and it hasnt dent the posts. The posts are basically black now. This net is awesome although its gonna be hard to move it to a pond because its heavy. But heavy is still a good thing if u want to keep it somewhere like a rink or driveway. And it would be easier to move with a truck which i don't have. It hasn't been through winter but is still in great shape. The shipping is a great deal and if the nets rips..honesty..who cares. But a new net that is like 5$..not much of a problem to me. The net has held up great so far. But one more con is that the posts "detach" from eachother because there is no screw to hold them together as you assemble it. But you can drill a hole and do it yourself. Awesome NET!

Best Uses
Comments about Practice Partner 72 Inch Silverline Deluxe Hockey Goal:
These units are well made - I bought two and both assembled with no problem - Netting fits to frame perfectly when installed with patience - Yes they dent when you nail em - You would have to have a frame made from schedule 40 pipe if you wanted something that was not going to dent -[...] for the pair you can't beat em - If you are pushing pucks through the netting you probably should try out for the NHL - Practice Partner's website says that there is a life time warranty on the frame - I imagine that this pertains mainly to rust since the frame is galvanized - Step up to this model - You won't reget it

Comments about Practice Partner 72 Inch Silverline Deluxe Hockey Goal:
It's perfect for the price. It does get dented but I am used to that. My neighbeor has $400 goal and his is dented to. The net is good but I have replaced it after 1 year. This is our second goal of this type and the first still has the original net, go figure. It's nearly 3 years old
- Stylish
- Netting is not durable
- The posts dent VERY EASY
Best Uses
- Street Hockey
Comments about Practice Partner 72 Inch Silverline Deluxe Hockey Goal:
I bought two of these goals and i have had them for about two weeks and whenever you hit any posts the posts WILL dent and it is SUPPOSED to be heavy duty nut is far from that. The Netting and hooks you hook the net to are also fairly weak. I have bent or broke alot of them alreadyand put numerous holes in the netting and all i use is plastic street hockey pucks. they are very easy to assemble and look very good though.
- Strong
- Bars come loose
- Bars don't have tight fit
- Flimsy
- Net does not sit right
- No hardware to hold bars
- Welds for net fell off
Best Uses
- Practice
Comments about Practice Partner 72 Inch Silverline Deluxe Hockey Goal:
I had originally liked this net. When you attempt to move it, the bars do not stay in place, they fall out. Some sort of hardware kit would have been nice. It bascially has a quick setup of the bars and pipes but when it comes to the net, is more work and effort. I doubled the rope like I was told and used two people working both sides of the net and the rope was not enough to make it all the way around, the net seemed to be very big and would not conform or tighten. Welds to attach rope/net on the back bars snapped when pulling the rope tight.

OpenPages Named Top OpRisk & GRC Vendor
John Kelly 270004J7VQ email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 288 Visits
Leading research and analysis provider Chartis Research recently released the 2009 RiskTech100™ report – a comprehensive study of the top technology firms active in the risk management market.
Based on assessment criteria including functionality, core technology, organizational strength, customer satisfaction, market presence and innovation, Chartis named OpenPages the Category Winner in Operational Risk and GRC solutions. This is a real testament to OpenPages commitment and success in delivering integrated risk management solutions as Chartis surveyed hundreds of operational risk vendors.
The study included a survey which found that "66% of respondents expect to increase their risk technology expenditure by 10% or more in 2010" and that users are moving from a siloed approach toward an integrated risk management approach.

With increased scrutiny being given to risk management accelerated in the aftermath of the near financial system meltdown, COSO has released a new thought paper to support companies' efforts to enhance their risk management processes. Titled Strengthening Enterprise Risk Management for Strategic Advantage, the paper is geared to senior executives and boards of directors, highlighting key elements of ERM. This paper is a follow up to COSO's Effective Enterprise Risk Oversight: The Role of the Board of Directors, reported by John Kelly in his September 1 blog entry.
BMO Head of OpRisk Enthusiastic About Achievements
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 212 Visits
Canada's oldest and fourth largest bank has proven a successful risk management framework can reduce risk exposure – even in the midst of a global economic meltdown. Hamish Lock, head of operational risk at Bank of Montreal and valued OpenPages customer is featured on the cover of the November, 2009 OpRisk & Compliance Magazine. In a very candid interview, Hamish describes how he took on his new role as head of operational risk just over a year ago in the midst of the financial crisis and has been able to steer his bank through the crisis relatively unscathed.
"The key goal I've been trying to achieve", said Hamish in the interview, "is to increase the transparency and awareness of where operational risk lies within the bank; ensure ownership is clear and to identify it; and to talk about it in a specific and informed fashion."
He attributes his success to the value the bank places on effective operational risk management. "It is about maintaining and enhancing the overall risk management capability at the firm. We would be doing a lot of these things even if they weren't requirements. We believe there is value in trying to continue to evolve the way we manage operational risk as better tools are developed and the discipline matures. I've been involved directly in operational risk for almost eight years and there has been a huge amount of maturity in that time, in terms of the way we identify, and particularly the ways we assess and measure, the risks. We would want to continue to do that regardless."

IT Risk Management Maturing in 2010
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 184 Visits
OpenPages recently conducted a survey of IT risk and compliance executives from a variety of industries including financial services, energy, government and health care. The survey revealed that most organizations are managing the basics of IT risk practices effectively (in particular, IT security and IT regulatory compliance), yet still have considerable work to do in converging their IT risk initiative with their overall enterprise GRC initiatives. In fact, respondents claim that the majority (73%) of IT risk management solutions in practice today are either spreadsheets or point solutions with limited to no coordination within the overall GRC initiative.
George Westerman, Research Scientist – Center for Information Systems Research, MIT Sloan School of Management finds that "incorporating risk into all IT conversations, and linking IT risk to enterprise risk, leads to better management decisions, not just fewer incidents."
Fortunately, investments in IT Risk management are expected rise in 2010 and convergence with GRC is expected to follow. When asked about IT risk management budgets for the coming year, more than 95% of respondents stated that they expect budgets will increase or stay the same in 2010. In a separate survey conducted at the OpenPages European Network (OPEN) Summit this fall, 93% of respondents stated that within 2-3 years, they are likely to converge or coordinate IT Risk and Compliance Management activities with GRC. This is good news, but as George Westerman concludes: "…until companies can drive internal focus around IT risk management in the context of overall GRC initiatives, they will continue to grapple with the fragmented, approach that is prevalent today."
Financial Services Reg Reform
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 179 Visits
An interesting dynamic has emerged around financial services reg reform. Senator Dodd's proposal includes creating a separate agency for bank oversight, stripping the Fed of that aspect of its current responsibilities. The Fed is attempting to defend its turf, pointing out that it's very hard to execute well on a monetary policy mandate without the kind of data that bank regulation gives them (see crisis management, Bank of England). Fed Chair Bernanke has been lobbying his case behind the scenes, speaking directly with members of Congress in one-on-one conversations.
IT Risk Management Leadership
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 179 Visits
Our recent survey on IT risk management published some interesting findings on risk management in the IT function. One of the surprising findings was how many different titles can be responsible for IT risk management. Sovency II and several pieces of draft legislation in the US require that the CRO be responsible for overall risk management. So, there's clearly a regulatory trend towards consolidating the responsibilities of risk management in the hands of fewer people — the "one throat to choke." While there may be one throat to choke in the IT organization, finding that throat may be difficult.

Hi all.
I am looking for two maps to be professionally redone for insertion in a fantasy novel in grayscale/sepia. The maps have already been drawn in MSPaint. The first map is similar in scale to: Photo 1 of 2 from Other Maps. The other covers a larger land mass approximately six times the first map and may need to be scaled down/simplified. The artist will need to advise on the practicality of this.
I would like for the maps to be completed in two months. Exact dates of completion for both maps to be agreed with artist.
Copyright & Payment:
I want the full copyright for both maps. However, the artist will have the right to exhibit the image as part of his portfolio.
Payment negotiable. Price to be agreed per map. Payment will be by Paypal.
Any queries, please feel free to contact me.

I have successfully migrated several Exchange 2003 mailboxes to Zimbra 5.0.11 on Ubuntu 8.04.
One mailbox did have a problem though. This user has many sub-folders in their Inbox, one of which is called Personal. When I look at this folder in Zimbra, there is one email listed in the right pane. When I mouse over the folder name, it says there are 2679 emails totalling 341 MB.
I ran /opt/zimbra/bin/mysql and did the following:
use mboxgroup7;
select id from mail_item where name like 'personal';
select * from mail_item where folder_id = 67714; --from the previous query
The last statement returns 2679 rows. I have verified that the related email files physically exist on the hard drive too.
I re-indexed the mailbox which did not help.
Does anyone know what needs to be done to get these to show up? I'm afraid that somehow these messages have been flagged for deletion or something and if an IMAP expunge happens they will actually be deleted which I cannot afford to have happen.
I look forward to any suggestions possible.
Thank you,

Passport to Haiti Camp
During this 3-day camp we'll be on an adventure creating art and learning dances of the magnificent island culture of Haiti nestled in the Caribbean Islands. Make a large scale tap-tap bus, a special vehicle found all over the islands where riders "tap" on the door of the bus to indicate they want a ride. Then learn Latin dances from the Conga to Salsa. On the last day of your visit to this island, celebrate and show off all you have learned to family and friends. For kids in entering grades 1-6, register online or call the library.

"Global Travelers introduces children to a variety of literature and multicultural traditions and provides a recreational outlet for readers," said Library Board Vice President Melanie Keister. "It makes it possible for kids of all reading levels to participate in a public library activity that promotes reading as a pleasurable lifelong experience."
"This is the beauty of our libraries! When you can't travel the globe, the world can come to you in the form of a quick camp or the pages of your favorite adventure tale!" said Anoka County Commissioner Julie Braastad.
These free programs are funded with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. For more information about this and other library programs or visit your local Anoka County Library.

The reason hunting in Oregon will continue to decline and eventually go away is because we are overrun here with moronic people who really don't appreciate hunting or harvesting their own meat.
I posted a story about the fair chase wolf hunt I recently returned from on a local "hunting" board and although it was all done in good taste the anti hunting folks at www.ifish.net just deleted it. I shouldn't be surprised as they have been showing signs of being anti-hunting there for a while. The moderators seem to have very little hunting knowledge or interest but they get some attention so they log on and screw with those of us who actually do hunt. Sad realization that I am not really surprised they would go there! They are the enemy of all that appreciate fair chase hunting!
I believe I will be retiring somewhere where people that would object to fair chase control of predators will we run off not catered to!

Born Oct. 31, 1946 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Rea grew up in a Protestant blue collar home where his father was a bus driver and his mother the headmaster's secretary at Belfast High School, which he later attended. Though his desire to act lay distinctly outside his family - he was the only member so creatively inclined - Rea began to perform at an early age, starring as the Wolf in a school production of "Little Red Riding Hood" when he was four years old. When he was significantly older, Rea attended the Queen's University of Belfast, where he earned a degree in English, then trained at the Abbey Theatre School in Dublin. While consistently performing onstage, he made an inauspicious f... Continue Bio >>

Police seek clues in store theft
Published: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 5:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 5:32 p.m.
Ocala police are hoping the public can help locate a woman and at least one accomplice who are alleged to have stolen numerous items from the Walmart store at 4980 E. Silver Springs Blvd.
A loss prevention officer at the store told an Ocala Police Department officer that on Saturday, Dec. 1, an employee found a hole in mesh roofing in the garden center and that zip ties connecting the roofing material to a metal frame were cut.
Surveillance videos from Nov. 25 and 29 show a woman with long hair cutting zip ties off the metal frame of the garden center. The woman is seen throwing multiple items – such as a vacuum cleaner, razors, desktop computers, monitors and televisions – over the hole in the top of the fence. The woman is seen tying the top of the mesh back onto the frame. She then gets into a vehicle, reportedly loaded with the stolen goods, which drives away.
Early Tuesday morning, store officials saw the same woman outside the store with some of the stolen items in a shopping cart and called police, according to reports.
The woman ran away, leaving the goods behind.
Authorities recovered items valued at nearly $5,500.
Anyone with information can call the OPD at 369-7000, the Crime Line at 369-7061 or Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP, or visit www.ocalacrimestoppers.com. Tipsters can text "ocalapd" and a tip to TIP411.

Comments about ... Black Top Hat (each):
We used this for a Boy Scout event and it worked with the Magic theme perfectly. We loved the quality and all the kids enjoyed it.
Comments about ... Black Top Hat (each):
The hat was given out to several children (ages 3 - 9) that attended our daughter\'s birthday. It is really cute with the velvet/texture on the outside. It also fit all of the kids at the party. The hat is made of thin plastic though and shipped stacked together. It was challenging and a bit slow to separate them without tearing/cracking the plastic. None was a total loss, but it might be a good idea to order an extra one or two if buying several at one time. On the other hand, they were durable during the party and all the kids left with their hats still in great condition.
Comments about ... Black Top Hat (each):
I am using these as a \"goodie bag\" item for my daughter\'s carnival themed 5th birthday. I bought some colorful ribbon to put around them and flowers to use as clown hats.

Thermal Initial Stresses in a Layered Plate
Application ID: 273
The thermal stress in a layered plate is studied in this example. A plate consisting of two layers, a coating and a substrate layer is stress and strain free at 800 degrees C. The temperature of the plate is reduced to 150 degrees C and thermal stresses are induced. A third layer, the carrier layer, is added and the thermal stresses in the coating and a substrate layer are added as an initial stress and the temperature is finally reduced to 20 degrees C.

Birth Place: Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, CA
Born on Oct. 17, 1948 in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, Kidder was raised by her American-born father, Kendall, a mining engineer, and her British Columbia-born mother, Jill, a homemaker. Because of her father's work, the family was required to move frequently and on occasion live in rather strange locations, including trailers, motel rooms and even a caboose. Her family's transient lifestyle led Kidder to attend 11 different schools during her first 12 years. Following a trip to New York City where she saw a production of "Bye, Bye Birdie," Kidder was taken with the idea of becoming an actress. But early signs of her later struggles with mental illness became frighteningly appa... Continue Bio >>

The Department of Urban Planning at UCLA is famous for producing outstanding planning scholars and teachers through its distinct mix of three program elements: top faculty in critical fields, a flexible curriculum, and superb opportunities for important and progressive research. Applicants to the Ph.D. program must have a Master's degree in planning or a closely related field.
Our faculty is composed of nationally and internationally well-known scholars and teachers. Their expertise spans community development, critical studies, gender studies, labor studies, economic development, housing, international planning, transportation planning, political economy, the natural environment, culture and ethnicity, and urban design. (See "research areas" section).
UCLA is one of the leading research institutions in the world. The size and quality of the university's research network is exceptionally strong and offers considerable additional faculty resources to our graduate student body. The Department's resources go well beyond its faculty to include many other units on campus. Members of the faculty share appointments with the College of Letters and Science, the Institute of the Environment, the School of Public Health, the School of Arts and Architecture, the Center for Latin American Studies, the Center for Asian American Studies, the Center for Urban Poverty, and the Institute of Labor Relations, as well as -- within the School of Public Policy & Social Research -- the Policy Studies and Social Welfare Departments, the Institute for Transportation Studies, the Institute of Labor and Employment, and the Lewis Center for Regional Studies.
Our doctoral program is distinctively intimate and flexible. The course and research requirements build skills and provide research experience through close faculty-student interaction. Each entering Ph.D. class is small, and each student is sponsored and supervised by two faculty members. Flexibility is the cornerstone. While faculty contact and advising is important, we also believe that strong students benefit from designing the research path that best suits their interests.
The doctoral program thus requires few specific courses, choosing instead to mainly mark progress in terms of individually-designed study programs and research accomplishments (See Program Requirements).
Research Opportunities
Participation and collaboration among faculty and students in advanced research projects is encouraged and fostered. Most Ph.D. students become research assistants on sponsored projects and/or become involved in cutting edge research as part of their coursework early in their studies. Our students also can take advantage of the many interdepartmental opportunities that UCLA offers.
Toward that end, we aim to train scholars of substance as well as influence. Our Ph.D. graduates have made important marks in the field of Urban Planning as academics and scholars. Many have followed the academic path, and now teach at UCLA, Berkeley, M.I.T., Harvard, and other leading universities worldwide. Others hold applied research positions in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors, such as the World Bank (See Alumni Profiles).
Along side our emphasis on research excellence, our doctoral program shares with the Master's program a profound commitment to positive social change. The program is designed not only to fully develop the students' research abilities, but also their research leadership.

Where classic serif faces are urbane and well-mannered, Turnip is coarse and down-to-earth — the kind of type that feels completely at home with salty language. David Jonathan Ross crafted an energetic tension between Turnip's inner and outer shapes to give it vigor, while strong strokes and sturdy serifs yield dense paragraphs with a horizontal emphasis.

ScorpicoRead MoreTake your family outings up a notch -- maybe several stories up? Have a ball riding the coasters at Scorpico in South Miami. Sure you could eat at home, but you'll want to take advantage of this park's restaurant for high-class food. Bring the whole family to this park, where kiddos are welcomed with open arms. Parking is plentiful, so visitors can feel free to bring their vehicles.5701 Sunset DriveSouth Miami, FL US
Euro BungyRead MoreLooking for a place to take the kids this weekend? Look no further than the action-packed rides and boundless fun of Eurobungy USA in Cutler Bay. Parking is plentiful, so patrons can feel free to bring their vehicles.10338 Southwest 187th StreetCutler Bay, FL US
Monkey JungleRead MoreThis third-generation, family-owned protected wildlife habitat offers the rare chance to see nearly 400 primates run free. Monkey Jungle is the only protected habitat for endangered primates in the United States that is open to the general public, allowing visitors to explore the 30-acre reserve. Upon entering, guests are immediately welcomed by Java monkeys, who at scheduled times will showcase their water skills as they dive into a pool to get fruit pieces. Stroll through a recreation of the Amazon rainforest, the only semi-natural tropical rainforest in North America. The founder of Monkey Jungle spent five years collecting hundreds of different species of plants, trees and palms to mimic the habitat of howler, black-capped capuchin and squirrel monkeys that normally call the South American jungle home. Keep walking to eventually discover the bird domes, blossoming with displaced and captive parrots, as well as orangutans and gorillas that explore the grounds.14805 SW 216th St.Miami, FL US
Jungle IslandRead MoreWhite sand beaches, cerulean waters, and towering palms make Jungle Island feel like a tropical paradise—complete with a leopard lurking in the undergrowth. Luckily, this jungle cat is safely within the confines of the Jungle Island, which has inhabited the isle for more than a decade. And yet the story of this popular Miami attraction, which houses everything from exotic birds and primates to rare plants and trees, began more than 75 years ago. The Background In 1936, Franz Scherr established an aviary where the exotic birds could soar uncaged, giving his South Miami park the apt name of Parrot Jungle. In the following decades, the aviary hosted some noteworthy occupants, such as Pinky—a high-wire bicycle-riding cockatoo—and several pink flamingos that appeared in the opening credits of Miami Vice. When the zoo's current owners purchased the company in 1988, they introduced new mammals and reptiles—but when Hurricane Andrew struck in 1992, they were forced to relocate. They settled on Watson Island, and in 2003, finished construction of the animal habitats and 18 acres of tropical gardens, renaming the park Jungle Island. The Highlights Hundreds of animals and plants from around the world call Jungle Island home. Naturalistic habitats contain mammals such as orangutans and a liger; reptiles such as American alligators and pythons; and birds such as African penguins and emus. The gardens house rare plants including cycads and African sausage trees. More than 1.35 miles of covered walking trails wind among the exhibits. Many of these animals feature in daily demonstrations. In Winged Wonders, handlers showcase the antics of colorful parrots, the flight of vultures, and the resident 6-foot cassowary's ability to eat an apple whole. Explore the behavior of rare big cats, including four species of tigers. Alternatively, in-depth tours and encounters may bring guests face-to-face with popular primates, or deep into the Serpentarium to feed an alligator in its enclosure and ponder whether snakes could possibly wear neckties.1111 Parrot Jungle TrailMiami, FL US
Santa's Enchanted ForestRead MoreGiant toy soldiers clothed in thousands of colored lights wave at passersby as glowing reindeer take off into the dusk. Towering Christmas trees topped with stars glimmer and glisten with blue and green fiber optics. At Santa's Enchanted Forest, one of the world's largest Christmas-themed amusement parks, holiday spirit and festive music fill the air long before the end of December. Visitors laugh and shriek on a multitude of carnival rides, including whirling swings, bumper cars, tower drops, and roller coasters, whipping through the air until their cheeks are as rosy as old Saint Nick's. Traditional carnival games are also on hand, such as dart tosses and soccer-ball kicks, to complement more unconventional carnival amusements such as giant plastic balls to roll around in and a rock-climbing wall to scale. Wee visitors, meanwhile, can make the acquaintance of small livestock in a petting zoo or draw a portrait of their favorite goat in royal costume on a wall-size coloring-book mural. Carnival food, such as barbecue, pizza, and cinnamon donuts, fuels guests as they conquer rides or take in the Cats of the World Tiger Show, the Cirque Equinox, or the Sea Lion Splash Spectacular.7900 SW 40th St.Miami, FL US
Medley Paintball ParkRead MoreSplat Paintball Park's players strap on goggles and cradle Tippmann 98 paintball guns before sprinting through the X-ball grass field or the urban-scenario field encompassed by 20-foot-high netting and high-tech lighting. As players dash around, Paintball Training Institute–certified referees ensure the Geneva Conventions are followed. Teams first design plans of attack in the covered staging area equipped with ceiling fans and cleaning stations, and then hone their aim at the shooting gallery. An onsite pro shop stocks shelves with all the extra equipment they could need. In between matches, players relax in the indoor lounge with a snack bar, a big-screen TV, and paintball videos. Those celebrating birthdays storm the fields with friends before retiring to the private air-conditioned party room.9185 NW 96th St.Miami, FL US

Dark, puffy areas under your eyes have to be treated as soon as they begin to show. If you are tired of looking tired, use Rodial Eye Products to reduce the puffiness and lighten the dark circles under your eyes. Don't be aggravated and discouraged; you can make a difference in the appearance in your eye zone by reducing the swelling that causes the puffiness, both by treating the inflammation directly and by blocking the underlying causes.
Ground-breaking scientific treatments are combined with traditional botanical ingredients in Rodial Eye Products in order to bring down the swelling, while enhancing the health of the deep skin cells. Extracts of herbs, special marine plants and flower extracts, used for centuries to reduce skin swelling and improve skin texture, have been carefully formulated in Rodial Eye Products. To these are added laboratory-proven peptides that stimulate the layers of skin around your eyes, to improve the color, fight the reoccurrence of inflammation and enhance skin repair and renewal. The botanical extracts also brighten the skin, while lightening ingredients help reduce the appearance of dark, tired-looking circles under your eyes.
Even if you are getting a good night's sleep, nothing can make you look tired more easily than dark, puffy circles under your eyes. With the special ingredients in Rodial Eye Products, you can bring back the smooth, firm texture to your eye zone.
Using both traditional botanical treatments and new, scientifically-developed elements, Rodial Glamtox Eye cream addresses both the puffiness and the discoloration of the skin under your eyes. Extracts of both the Arnica Montana herb and the blue passion flower (native to Central and South America) have been used for centuries to reduce swelling. In addition, an extract of the horsetail kelp (Laminaria digitata) not only brightens the skin but acts as a very effective sun protectant, both reducing the darkness of skin under the eyes and preventing of the causes of its reoccurrence. Medical science has also proven the effectiveness of another special ingredient, palmitoyl peptides. These peptides organically stimulate the collagen in the deep layers of the skin, enhancing, repairing and renewing the tissues in your eye zone. Finally, titanium dioxide lightens and brightens the skin surface, improving the appearance of the area under your eyes.
During your makeup regimen, use the Rodial Glamtox Eye Pen to apply additional eye zone-freshening ingredients. Pomegranate fruit extract has been proven to act as a brightening agent for the skin, while also helping to regenerate subcutaneous cells. The lotus flower extract included in the application has also been used for centuries by Chinese herbalists to reduce inflammation and improve skin texture.

Summary:Five friends and former teammates reunite after many years to honor the passing of their childhood basketball coach. With their wives and kids in tow, they spend the Fourth of July holiday weekend together at the lake house where they celebrated their championship years earlier. Picking up where they left off, they discover why growing older doesn't mean growing up.
