The problem most young people have with large pores is that they become blocked and dirty .Oils, dirt and dead skin cells on the face collect in and around pores. The pores can then become blocked or clogged. This dirt can also generate bacteria. The result is inflammation and infection that is the source for pimples and blackheads.
Useful Tip: If you want to have a beautiful and youthful skin it's very important to keep your pores clean.
At age 26-30, skin begins to show some signs of aging as lack of smooth of skin, wrinkles or spots. Once wrinkles start forming, taking measures to remove the wrinkles for those fine lines become deeply etched into the skin is a vital part of looking younger and healthier. To ensure good looks, a regular face massage is a must. Face massage is also beneficial for your wrinkles and fine lines on skin. You can consider face massage on usual basis.
Useful Tip: One simple thing you should remember is that the more you provide moisture for the skin, the less the wrinkles. And anti-wrinkle cream will help you do that perfectly.

MP Taverna
31-29 Ditmars Blvd., 718-777-2187, Astoria, Queens
Chef Michael Psilakis has reinvigorated the Greek dining experience in Astoria. The bi-level space is urban and classy with floor-to-ceiling windows; in no physical way does it summon clichés that owe their provenance to the Aegean or Zorba. The music tends toward rock in the brewpub-like downstairs bar, which is lined with high tables. Upstairs is quieter, where dressy couples bond over ephemeral ricotta dumplings with spicy lamb sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts and feta. Few items sound more soothing and approachable than Grandma's meatballs, but there's a peppy kick to the five fat orbs served on a crowded black skillet, crusted like falafel and served with tangy tzatziki and pita triangles. To drink are craft beers, shelves of topflight whiskeys and a smart selection of Greek, Portuguese, Austrian and French wines. By-the-glass pours are as generous as the portions of food.

Balance Disorders
Here are the most common causes of balance problems and how they are treated:
Acoustic neuroma
An acoustic neuroma, also called a vestibular schwannoma, is a benign growth of the balance nerve. They grow in a part of the skull between the brain and the ear. If they continue to grow, they can cause hearing loss and dizziness. Large acoustic neuromas are life threatening because they can push on a core part of the brain. There are three means of treating acoustic neuromas. One method is not to treat the tumor and follow its progression with regular MRI scans once or twice per year. Less than half of acoustic neuromas grow, and if the tumor is not growing it may be able to be left alone if it is not causing problems with dizziness. This is usually not recommended for very large tumors. Another treatment for acoustic neuromas is focused radiation therapy. While radiation does not make the tumor go away, it may be able to slow its growth. After radiation therapy, regular MRI scans are required indefinitely to make sure the tumor doesn't't grow further. A third treatment option for acoustic neuromas is microsurgery. Microsurgery requires the expertise of both a neurotologist like Dr. Eisen and a neurosurgeon, but results in tumor removal with little chance of the tumor returning. Depending on the size of the tumor, hearing can sometimes be saved with surgery.
Superior semicircular canal dehiscence
A rare disorder called superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SCD) gives patients who suffer from the disorder a set of symptoms that are frequently confused with other diseases. These symptoms include the sense of motion (or vertigo) induced by loud sounds in one ear or pressure changes, ear fullness, a heightened awareness of internal body noises, and generalized imbalance. Some patients have a sense of motion induced by humming or speaking with their own voice. The disorder results from a weakness in the part of the skull directly over the balance part of the inner ear. It usually occurs in only one ear, but can occur in both. For patients diagnosed with SCD who have severe symptoms the weakness in the bone can be repaired with surgery. Dr. Eisen has extensive experience with these surgeries.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
Tiny crystals in one part of the balance part of the inner ear can get dislodged into a different part of the inner ear and cause a sense of spinning (vertigo) with certain changes in head position. Patients with this disorder frequently say that they get vertigo when they look up or when they turn over in bed. The vertigo lasts for 10 or 20 seconds, but can recur frequently when it is active. This is called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, or BPPV, and it is the most common reason that people get true spinning vertigo. Once properly diagnosed, which requires a special position testing in the office, it can be treated with dedicated exercises and a maneuver to reposition the crystals into their proper location.
Ménière's disease
Ménière's disease is a disorder that involves episodes of hearing loss, fullness in the ear, ringing in the ear, and vertigo (spinning). Episodes can be frequent or infrequent, but can be very disabling. Ménière's disease occurs when the fluid spaces of the inner ear undergo expansion. There are both medical and surgical treatments available for Ménière's disease. An exciting new treatment that Dr. Eisen offers to his patients involves putting steroids into the ear through the ear drum. This treatment has excellent results with controlling vertigo and may also help to reduce hearing loss associated with the disease. The procedure is done in the office and carries minimal risk of hearing loss.

Kasich Touts School Plan
Ohio would spend $15.1B over two years to alter funding system
February 2, 2013
CINCINNATI (AP) — Gov....
California "Serrano versus Priest" CA-SCOTUS decision 1971:
• California's method of funding public education, because of district-to-district disparities, "fails to meet the requirements of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and the California Constitution."
Result 40 years later: children from poor areas STILL have the lowest scores and graduation rates IN SPITE of EQUAL funding.
IT's the PARENTING, STUPID!
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The article published in the Steubenville Herald Star is a little more informative. It mentions that Kasich said the plan has no politics in it. One of his biggest critics the Minority Leader (DemoCrap) complains that Kasich didn't craft the plan in a Bi-Partisan way! Some teachers complained because they weren't directly involved even though Kasichs advisers did travel the state and talked with Supers and teachers. Either way, even with the redistribution, the Democrats are not happy. Whiners! Babies and Bullies! Nasty Democrats!
0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The key to improved education outcomes is not more money, but making sure what funding schools do have is spent directly on instruction. In '07, the DOE own statistics indicated that only 52% of public school funding was spent on teacher/student interactions. Especially in Ohio in which each county has multiple school districts, can it honestly be said that dollar per student is really dollar per student spent on him or her? I would say that each student is educated as economically as possible so "saved" money can be utilized on other, non-instructive ways

Can we please dispense with the bs about california? The OV couldn't care a fig about california.
Gov. Kasich's plan will be a hardship on eastern Ohio because the disparity in income will be more noticeable locally.

Armor-All tires.
Quote from: Thumper on November 17, 2007, 09:13:15 amArmor-All tires.1st off, don't scare the dude away... this type of maintenance is for the life of the bike. Armor All your motorcycle tires?!? This is the worst advice I've ever seen. If you are putting armor-all on your motorcycle tires I suggest you STOP this asap. Armor-all has NO place on a motorcycle tire. You will crash.Google "armor all motorcycle tire accident"Straight from the Armor All website...Can I use Armor All® Protectant Products on my tires; including whitewall, motorcycle and bicycle?Armor All® Protectant Products are ideal for protecting, shining and cleaning your car tires. Just spray onto surface, let penetrate and wipe off for a great shine and long-lasting protection. However, these products should not be used on cycle tires due to slipperiness.
If you don't think it's safe to put vinyl dressing on your tires, I strongly recommend that you don't do it.
Try as I might to lean the bike further and further, I'll continue to ride on the tread - not the sidewall. I'll continue to protect my tires with vinyl dressing.
If properly maintaining a motorcycle scares someone off, then they probably weren't right for the RE in the 1st place. But this way at least they know that maintenance will take somewhere between 10 minutes and 2 days.

Sioux City Mayor Won't Vote On Casino
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - The mayor of Sioux City says he won't vote on any gambling-related issues as the city considers a new casino.
Mayor Bob Scott announced his decision Monday during a City Council meeting. He says it is in
response to speculation that he has a financial stake in the development of a new casino. He would not elaborate.
Scott then abstained from a council vote on a public hearing date to extend a lease for the Argosy Casino riverboat. It's set for Jan. 28
Three developers have proposed land-based casinos that will eventually replace Argosy. The Iowa Racing & Gaming Commission will name the winning proposal in April.
South Korean Metal Company Donates to Harkin Building
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - A South Korean businessman and his Iowa metals subsidiary have given $500,000 to support a university institute for Sen. Tom Harkin, who is pushing for a one-dollar coin
that would bring the company business.
The donations to the Harkin Institute of Public Policy at Iowa State University come from PMX Industries and CEO of its Seoul-based parent, Jin Roy Ryu.
Harkin is sponsoring a bill that would eliminate the paper dollar in favor of a dollar coin, for which PMX supplies the materials. PMX is a member of the Dollar Coin Alliance lobbying for
the change.
PMX says ISU's foundation asked for its donations and it agreed. Yet they are an example of possible ethical concerns that Republicans warned could result from naming a university institute
after a sitting lawmaker.
Closing Arguments Set For Trial Involving Father Killing Daughter
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - Attorneys are set to make closing arguments in the trial of a Cedar Rapids man accused of killing his young daughter.
Closing arguments will be made Wednesday in the trial of Zyriah Schlitter.
On Tuesday, Schlitter testified in Linn County District Court that he wasn't concerned about bruising on the toddler when he took her to a doctor in March 2010, just before her death. He said he
thought the bruising was normal for a child.
Schlitter faces first-degree murder and child endangerment charges. Investigators say 17-month-old Kamryn suffered head injuries and had bruising on her neck, chin, underarms and chest.
Schlitter's former girlfriend, Amy Parmer of Hiawatha, faces the same charges. Her trial is set for January.

Dezember 2012 Published: 25. Juli 2013 Affiliation: European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Parma, Italy Note: Send Print Cite Download Article (349.86 KB) Abstract: The conclusions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authority of the rapporteur Member State, Germany, for the pesticide active substance acetic acid are reported. The context of the peer review was that required by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1095/2007 and Commission Regulation (EU) No. 114/2010. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of acetic acid as a herbicide in pome fruit, stone fruit, paths and roads, ornamental trees and shrubs, turf, and lawns. The reliable endpoints concluded as being appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment, derived from the available studies and literature in the dossier peer reviewed, are presented. Missing information identified as being required by the regulatory framework is listed. Concerns are identified. © European Food Safety Authority, 2013 Summary: Acetic acid is one of the 295 substances of the fourth stage of the review programme covered by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1095/2007. Acetic acid was included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC on 1 September 2009 pursuant to Article 24b of the Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Regulation') and has subsequently been deemed to be approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 541/2011. In accordance with Article 25a of the Regulation, as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 114/2010, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is required to deliver by 31 December 2012 its view on the draft review report submitted by the European Commission in accordance with Article 25(1) of the Regulation. This review report was established as a result of the initial evaluation provided by the designated rapporteur Member State in the Draft Assessment Report (DAR). The EFSA therefore organised a peer review of the DAR. The conclusions of the peer review are set out in this report. Germany being the designated rapporteur Member State submitted the DAR on acetic acid in accordance with the provisions of Article 22(1) of the Regulation, which was received by the EFSA on 17 September 2007. The peer review was initiated on 13 June 2008 by dispatching the DAR to the notifier, the Task Force for Acetic Acid, and on 24 February 2011 to the Member States, for consultation and comments. Following consideration of the comments received on the DAR, it was concluded that EFSA should conduct a focused peer review in the areas of mammalian toxicology and environmental fate and behaviour and deliver its conclusions on acetic acid. The conclusions laid down in this report were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of acetic acid as a herbicide in pome fruit, stone fruit, paths and roads, ornamental trees and shrubs, turf, and lawns, as proposed by the notifier. Full details of the representative uses can be found in Appendix A to this report. In the area of identity, physical/chemical/technical properties and methods of analysis a data gap was identified for a specification with supporting batch analysis and methods of analysis. Data gaps were identified for some physical/chemical properties of the active substance as well as specific methods for the active substance in the technical and the formulated product. Data gaps were also identified for the representative formulations. As a residue definition is set for environmental compartments a data gap has been identified for methods of analysis. In the section mammalian toxicology, no data gap and no critical area of concern were identified. No significant residues of acetic acid are expected to be present in edible crops and a quantitative risk assessment is not necessary. The information on environmental fate and behaviour in the environment is sufficient to carry out the necessary environmental exposure assessments at the EU level, with the exception that information is missing on volatilisation and re-deposition of acetic acid in the short range, that is needed to complete the aquatic exposure assessment for all the representative uses except for the representative use on turf grass, where application is by watering. The potential for groundwater exposure from the representative uses by acetic acid and its salts above the parametric drinking water limit of 0.1 µg/L was concluded to be high in geoclimatic situations that are represented by 5 out of 9 FOCUS groundwater scenarios for the representative use on pome fruits, stone fruits and ornamental shrubs at 4x40.8 kg a.s./ha, 4 out of 9 FOCUS scenarios for the representative use on trees and ornamental shrubs at 2x60 kg a.s./ha and 3 out of 9 FOCUS scenarios for the representative use on turf, lawn at 2x102 kg a.s./ha. Acetic acid has the potential for long-range atmospheric transport. The acute and long-term risk assessments for birds and the acute risk assessment for mammals could not be finalised. A high long-term risk was identified for mammals for all representative uses. A low risk for aquatic organisms could only be concluded for the representative uses on turf and lawns, for the other representative uses either a high risk was identified or the assessments could not be finalised. The risk to honeybees and non-target arthropods was also assessed as high for all representative uses. The risk to soil-dwelling organisms was assessed as low, however data on carbon mineralisation are outstanding. The risk assessment for non-target plants could not be finalised. The risk to biological methods of sewage treatment was considered to be low for all representative uses, except roads and paths for which a data gap was identified.

Hi Sonja,
I love your quote for a Parenting Tip I am writing for ERGOparent.com. May I have your permission to include your quote....
I am a 34 year old mom of four (in austin) and I just had a home birth. I can't say enough about it, it was the best experience...my first two were in a hospital with meds. and the 3rd in the hospital natural (no time for meds) and we chose a midwife for the last birth. I learned more through this last pregnancy and birth than in all the previous births combined. You just have to be your own advocate because the healthcare system will try and make you feel like you are a bad person if you don't follow ALL of their advice...do lots of research and don't let anyone push you into doing anything you don't want...
At age 42, and 43, my friend gave birth to her 2nd and 3rd child! At home; 2 healthy, beautiful girls.
There are references in the bible of women giving birth in their 40s, and 50s, even. Not to mention Sarah giving birth at 70. The Wise Woman website gives lots of support for the deeper truths about birthing & steps to take to care for your body and baby and birthing well. There is much to be learned that is not the propaganda of the AMA.
Have confidence in your inborn strengths and beauty. You are woman!
Blessing & Cheers.

FAIRFAX, Va. (WUSA) -- The Centers for Disease Control says the West Nile Virus is spreading faster than ever before because of the mild winter and rainy spring.
There are two cases each in Maryland and Virginia. The four patients will be okay.
There are nearly 700 cases of West Nile nationwide, the most reported for this time of year since the CDC has started recording cases.
80 percent of people who have it don't have symptoms and don't get sick.
Local health departments say you can do a lot to prevent a mosquito bite:
Use bug spray
Wear long sleeves
Eliminate standing water in old tires, bird baths, flower pots, kiddie pools and at the bottom of your down spouts.
Experts suggest using 'Mosquito Dunks.' You can tie a string around it and your down spout so it doesn't wash away in the rain. It can kill mosquito larvae for up to a month.
Last year, there were eight cases in Virginia including one death. In Maryland, there were 19 cases including one death.
A pair of mosquitoes can create a population of thousands in a matter of several weeks.
Entomologist Dr. Jorges Arias is the mosquito expert at the Fairfax County Health Department. He studies and collects data.
But he's also a walking miracle from a mosquito bite that nearly killed him last August. He says he suspects he got bitten while walking the dog. It took days for a diagnosis before his wife told the doctor to test for West Nile.
"I went to the hospital with a fever," he said. Then more severe symptoms started showing up. "I started having seizures and they induced me into a coma."
He spent a week in a coma but a total of two months in the hospital and needed four months to learn to walk again.
He still uses a cane, residuals from the near death experience.
Despite the bite, he has no ill feelings toward the insects.
"I love insects, they're so fascinating."
He just wants people to be aware and take precautions While he says there are no human cases of West Nile in Northern Virginia, there are plenty of cases of infected mosquitoes.
"In week 22, it was positive, we tested again in week 23 thinking it was a fluke. There was positive in week 24 and now we are up to about 19 mosquitoes per 1000 [that] are infected," he said.
Dr. Arias adds the mosquitoes that have killed in Texas where they're doing aerial spraying are not the same species as the ones here.
"It's never come this way, I don't know why but I''m very glad."
The good news for us, he says is that the mosquitoes in Texas will bite at anything but the ones here prefer birds.

The infinitely likable Emma Stone tends to come off goofy and "down to earth" in interviews, but if there's one thing we've learned from her many magazine spreads, it's that she can put on a bustier and make sexyface with the best of them. Through no fault of her own (nothing is Emma Stone's fault!), the results can vary, but her latest editorial in Interview Magazine shows how thoroughly she's able to transform with the right photography and styling. In it, she plays the New Wave heroine of some retro-futuristic, dystopian narrative, and dissolves into the "role" so thoroughly that it's hard to believe this is the girl from Superbad. As one would hopefully expect from a magazine called "interview," the interview, as conducted by director Cameron Crowe, is worth reading, too.

NEW YORK (AP) - Nigerian author Chinua Achebe, who wrote the classic "Things Fall Apart," has died. He was 82.
Achebe's publisher confirmed his death Friday.
Achebe's novel, published in 1958, is widely regarded as the first major work of modern African fiction and inspired others to tell the continent's story through the ees of those who lived there.
"Things Fall Apart" has sold more than 8 million copies and been translated into more than 50 languages. His other novels included "A Man of the People" and "Arrow of God."
Achebe was a leading critic of how Westerners had portrayed Africa, especially in Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness."
He also wrote short stories, poems and children's stories.

The Punch Brothers
The New Yorker called their sound "a musical alchemy of old-time music and contemporary sensibilities." They describe the songs from their third and latest acclaimed album, Who's Feeling Young Now?, as "hard-charging string-band punk rock." They're the Punch Brothers, the New York City-based quintet of mandolinist Chris Thile, guitarist Chris Eldridge, bassist Paul Kowert, banjoist Noam Pikelny and violinist Gabe Witcher. Vanity Fair has hailed the new album as "their most expressive work yet as an ensemble -- sophisticated, pop-y, kinetic and profound, all at once." As virtuosic as it is freewheeling, the group evolved out of a 2007 collaboration on Thile's string-band suite, The Blind Leading the Blind, which premiered at Carnegie Hall. The five members each have impressive resumes within the progressive string-band scene. We are thrilled to welcome the Punch Brothers for their Vancouver debut.

|Colorado gas prices some of the lowest in the country
|Written by Chris Lee
Oil and gas prices have been fueling political debates lately and have been a topic on the streets—not so much in Holyoke and the rest of Colorado, however.
Sure, gas prices have risen over the past few weeks, but Colorado is a state that should be thankful for where prices are—things could be worse.
The state average in Colorado Tuesday morning, March 6, for a gallon of gas was $3.23. Colorado currently is ranked as having the second to lowest gas prices in the United States. Wyoming has the cheapest with $3.20 per gallon.
In fact, three Colorado cities fill the top three spots for having the cheapest gas in the U.S. Fort Collins leads with an average of $3.21, Denver $3.217 and Colorado Springs $3.219.
Hawaii is paying the most for a gallon of gas with an average of $4.36. California is next on the list with $4.34 per gallon. Rounding out the top five states are Alaska at $4.08 and Connecticut and New York at $3.98 per gallon.
Santa Barbara, Calif. is the city paying the most per gallon at $4.60. Actually, California cities occupy 14 of the top 15 spots—all of which are paying over $4.25 for a gallon of gasoline.
Gas prices have been a hot topic for years. Holyoke prices have risen some in the past few weeks
—Enterprise photos
In Holyoke, prices are slightly higher than the Colorado state average of $3.23. Tuesday morning, March 6, Kwik Stop and Scholl Oil in Holyoke had the cheapest prices for a gallon of unleaded plus at $3.29. Scholl's E85 gasoline was at $2.89 per gallon.
Regular unleaded prices in Holyoke were $3.34 at Scholl Oil, $3.37 at Ampride and $3.39 at Kwik Stop.
According to a story from Fox 31 Denver, local experts say the reason gas prices remain low is because Colorado gets most of the supplies from refineries in Canada through a landlocked pipeline that most other states can't access.
"So the crude that's coming into those refineries is lower priced, and the refineries have capacity, and because of those two things we have lower prices," said Wave Dreher with AAA Colorado.
Dreher says gas prices usually peak in summer, but not this year. She expects Colorado prices to peak at around $3.50 sometime in April, while other states may hit $5 a gallon.

Canada, too, has its labor issues
The Port of Montreal, is a port located in Montreal, Canada's second largest metropolis, on the St Lawrence river. It is one of the busiest ports on the North American continent, and the largest inland port on Earth. It is also the entry point to other major cities such as Toronto, Detroit and Cleveland.
July 21, 2010
The U.S. West Coast is not the only region now dealing with labor/management issues at its major seaports. Eastern Canada, too, has had its problems of late.
Cargo operations at the Port of Montreal has come to a standstill following an injunction by authorities to keep dockworkers off the job. The dispute between the Maritime Employers Association and its longshore labor force has resulted in suspended freight car movement as well, and container terminals are completely shut down.
At issue, say labor analysts, is the new collective agreement for dockworker's Job security and revenue guarantees for recent hires.
Meanwhile, the consequences of the struggle are having an immediate impact on all supply chain partners in Quebec. The Ports of Halifax and Norfolk, VA are handling some of the vessel calls, and one wonders if this will mean a shift in deployment strategies for carriers in the future.

If current tax laws allow them to "hide" money in tax shelters, its not illegal you have to change the tax codes, many retired people live on interest and dividends for income but yet you only hear about people like Buffet CHANGE THE TAX LAWS why do I need to have tons of paper work to keep foe over 7 years because you have a business all money is not the same the reinvested money has already been taxed once and doesnt need to be taxed again at these high rates, look at Wheeling they cant get off the B/O crack tax yet it drives most businesses out of city limits. I wonder why Highlands is doing so well and Wheeling is suffering badly and has been, try value added tax if you add value to gas,oil, wood coal etc then it should be less of tax then just shipping it out of here. Think of jobs it would create here if we did that. Wood into furniture, gas through cracker, coal cleaned and preped etc

coffee. Just because money has been deposited in off shore accounts doesn't mean corporate taxes haven't been paid. The money is there because corporations fear the government will confiscate their funds just as they did in Brazil.
If the IRS suspected these corporations where trying to cheat the gov of their tax dollars, they would be all over them. In fact, many large corporations have the IRS there all year round.

daWraith is correct. The number of SSI recipients has increased by 12.3 million sonce this day in 2008. Putting a real strain on the SS system.

Measuring Risk and Compliance Initiatives
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 239 Visits
In November, OpenPages and Compliance Week hosted a roundtable with 17 senior executives where the discussion covered the kinds of metrics to use when discussing and reporting on risk and compliance initiatives. Companies ranged from a variety of industries and covered the risk and compliance functions. Matt Kelly, editor in chief at Compliance Week, moderated the session and blogged about it. To review the article written about the roundtable, "Shop Talk: Metrics for Risk, Compliance," visit the Compliance Week website.

Solvency II Operational Risk Challenges
John Kelly 270004J7VQ email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 227 Visits
As companies prepare for Solvency II, many are struggling with the right approach to address key aspects of the directive. Due to come into effect in 2012, Solvency II promises a more sophisticated 'risk-based' form of supervision that will require many insurers to augment their risk management framework – particularly with regard to operational risk.
In a Webinar hosted by OpRisk & Compliance Magazine, Stuart Robinson, senior vice president of group risk at Germany's largest insurer, Allianz discusses how Solvency II operational risk requirements are well aligned with Basel II requirements and other regulatory and industry standards. In particular, he points to how insurers need to:

ISACA Launches Risk IT Framework
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 174 Visits
ISACA announced the release of Risk IT today – an IT-related risk framework based on COBIT that provides a comprehensive view of the business risks associated with IT initiatives. In development for some time, it is a combined effort of a five-country task force comprising thousands of hours of work from a team of IT and business experts and 60 expert reviewers as well as over 1600 comments from around the world and across industries. Based on a set of guiding principles for effective management of IT risk, Risk IT provides a framework for enterprises to identify, govern and manage IT risk. Whereas COBIT provides the set of controls to mitigate risk, Risk IT enables an enterprise to understand and manage all significant IT risk types and allows the enterprise to make appropriate risk-aware decisions.
Are "Best Practices" Really Best?
Richard Steinberg 270004HRBG email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 168 Visits
Have you been involved in identifying "best practices" in a particular industry, sector, process or function, to shape and enhance your company's governance, risk management, compliance or other activities? I know I have, as have many of my clients. It's tough to argue with what are deemed best practices, since by definition "best" must be the ultimate. And the same goes for such terms as "leading" or "leading edge" practices. I wrote about this recently in a compliance journal, and would like to share some of my observations here.
Walker Review Recommends Extensive Reforms to Strengthen Bank Governance
John Kelly 270004J7VQ email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 167 Visits
In February, British Banker and former chairman of Morgan Stanley International, Sir David Walker was appointed to lead a government inquiry into corporate governance in the banking sector. This week, he published the Walker Review which recommends overhauling the boards of banks and other big financial institutions by strengthening the role of non-executives and giving them new responsibilities to monitor risk and remuneration.
"We need to get governance back to centre stage," said Walker in a statement regarding the report. "The fundamental change needed is to make the boardroom a more challenging environment than it has often been in the past. This requires non-executives able to devote sufficient time to the role in order to assess risk and ask tough questions about strategy."
The Walker Review proposes that most of the recommendations are enforced through inclusion in the Combined Code on Corporate Governance or a separate Stewardship Code for institutional investors, both operating on a 'comply or explain' basis.
It is clear that risk management will be under increasing scrutiny in the UK (and across the globe), and that the risk function will be increasingly important. To keep up with new regulation, companies will have to invest in systems to support the risk information sharing that such changes imply.

Madoff Whistleblower Harry Markopolos to Present OPUS 2010 Keynote
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 163 Visits
OPUS 2010 is approaching fast and we've got a great line-up on tap beginning with keynote speaker Harry Markopolos – the lead investigator that helped uncover the infamous $65 billion Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme.
"It took me five minutes to know that it was a fraud. It took me another almost four hours of mathematical modeling to prove that it was a fraud." He was repeatedly ignored by the SEC and relying on his own dogged determination and a small, tightly knit, team of trusted allies, he finally overcame the indifference of governmental agency and broke the scandal to the public.
During the OPUS keynote address, Markopolos will detail how his four person investigative team tracked Madoff and the Madoff Feeder Funds throughout Europe and North America and repeatedly submitted detailed reports to the SEC. He will discuss the red flags, warning signs and the critical audit steps that companies need to be aware of to prevent similar events from occurring in the future.
OPUS 2010 is shaping up to be a "can't miss" event. To register, please visit: http

We're now in "Moving Operational Risk Forward" or "Getting Value from ORX Data and Tying Operational Risk into Each Business Unit" with Joe Sabatini, JP Morgan, and Simon Wills, ORX. The introduction is being given by David Millar, PRMIA, who opened the session with a statement on the fire evacuation procedures. Some will remember that a fire alarm during an operational risk conference is not unheard of.

Variably Saturated Flow and Transport—Sorbing Solute
Application ID: 490
In this example water ponded in a ring on the ground moves into a relatively dry soil column and carries a chemical with it. As it moves through the variably saturated soil column, the chemical attaches to solid particles, slowing the solute transport relative to the water. Additionally the chemical concentrations decay from biodegradation in both the liquid and the solid phase.

The Importance of Women's Intuition
The British Classic Style
Maisie Dobbs and Cordelia Gray are two famous young ladies living both in London and owners of their own detective agencies. Maisie Dobbs appears in Jacqueline Winspear's mystery series: former nurse, with a degree in psychology, Maisie is also a bright investigator who tackles cases connected with WWI events. Cordelia is the heroine of P.D. James novels: she was educated in a convent and inherits her father's agency and mentoring in investigation.
American Women: Tough and Fierce
Not quite exhibiting the same style, Lindsay Boxer and Abby Sinclair will sweep you off your feet when you read about their tours de force. Lindsay is James Patterson's main character in his Women's Murder Club mysteries starting with "1st to die" in 2001 and now reaching "10th anniversary". A sociology major from SF State, she works for SFPD Homicide and also uses her athletic hobbies ( running, tai-chi) in her dangerous job. Abby appears in Michael Prescott's riveting, nerve-wracking thrillers. She is an LA private operative, a commanding heroine, who do not hesitate to stalk stalkers and confront fiends. She is a borderline vigilante because of her fearlessness and drastic methods.
Mature Expertise at his Best
Harmless little old ladies who never have to resort to violence are sometimes the shrewdest detectives. They may solve mysteries embarrassing the "pros" using their knowledge of human nature and their wise principles of life.
Miss Marple, Agatha's Christie's famous heroine, is an old spinster living in a small British village and acting as an amateur detective. Dressed in tweed, always knitting or gardening, she'll fool the most vicious villains. So will Sister Carol Ann O'Marie's sleuth, Sister Mary Ellen, who is a catholic nun who meddles with murder inquests in San Francisco. The most famous titles are The Missing Madonna and Death of an Angel.
The Power of Kindness
Two warmhearted, compassionate, "traditionally built" ladies have a leading role in the world of fictional investigation: Precious Ramotswe ( owner of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency from Alexander McCall Smith) and Bretta Salomon (florist, in Janis Harrison gardening mysteries). Both need lots of comfort food to help them solve enigmas, especially donuts, tea and hot chocolate. Their problem solving skills and sharp logical minds are more fruitful than their useless efforts to go on a diet.
Meet those incredible women this summer by checking those books out at your local library!

Cloudy Nights and Astronomics will not be at NEAF.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 03:59 PM
The timing of the event will not allow Astronomics to be at NEAF this year. It will probably have this effect for several years as I am back in school getting a film degree and the show falls during the last week to turn in projects, or the week before finals. I was unable to attend the show in 2012 or make the Arizona show for the same reasons. We also have several other factors about not making it all having to do with personnel.
1. Adam L, that has helped for the past three years, is back in school getting his MIS degree.
2. Mike L, already has plans that can't be broken that weekend.
So that literally leaves us with nobody to man a booth or run the webcast.
I know NEAF will still be the same great event it has always been and I hope everyone goes and has a great time.

If it only ends up being a staffing issue any of the future years I'd be glad to staff your booth. Would just not be able to work your booth the couple of hours when I'm doing NEAF stuff for RAC. Or if you let me know ahead of time I could tell RAC that I can't help out that year.

I suppose it's too late now, but I bet we could have gotten some frequent users of CloudyNights to volunteer to run the webcam, do walk-arounds, etc. I'd even bet that the NEAF organizers would have 'donated' a table for it, since it provides such 'advertizing' for the event.
Hopefully we'll have plenty of attendees posting images and video.
Posted 26 March 2013 - 09:11 AM
The web-cam was a great way to bring NEAF to thousands of those individuals worldwide that could not come to our show for various reasons.
However, there is NOTHING like experiencing the show in person! If you have never been here, come see the BEST astronomy show on the planet!
For those that don't know, the show is totally run and manned by volunteers from the Rockland Astronomy Club.
YES, the largest show in the world is run, done and managed completely by volunteers.
The show itself, is public outreach. We supply tables to many local astronomy clubs and organizations free of charge! Most importantly, the profits from the show benefit and SUPPORT all the public outreach programs run and sponsered by The Rockland Astronomy Club.
These programs include childrens fairs, public star parties, school and other amateur astronomy and observing programs. We also give out free telescopes and scholarship awards to local deserving children.
The fee you pay to enter the show is put to work doing GOOD for astronomy for ALL!!!
So enjoy and support your hobby at the same time!! Come to the show and help us introduce the science and hobby of astronomy to EVERYONE!!

Is it disappointing? Sure it is, but the world will continue to turn, and the sun will continue to shine.

MICHAEL HILL, Associated Press
SENECA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) — Did George Bailey live his wonderful life in upstate New York?
Folks in the quaint town of Seneca Falls think so. Or more precisely, they say Bailey's make-believe hometown of Bedford Falls in "It's a Wonderful Life" was heavily inspired by Seneca Falls.
Seneca Falls has a nice broad main street like Bedford Falls', and there's a steel truss bridge. The film also is loaded with references to nearby upstate cities.
Still, there's no slam-dunk proof that director Frank Capra ever set foot in Seneca Falls. Jeanine Basinger is curator of the Frank Capra Archive at Wesleyan University. She says she hates to be like the movie's villain Mr. Potter, but says there's no hard evidence of the Seneca Falls link.
Maybe fitting for a Christmas story, the contention comes down to belief.

Professor Juniper's Accelgor
Redirected from Bianca's Shelmet
this wiki
This Accelgor was the third Pokémon owned by Bianca; however, it was traded for Professor Juniper's Karrablast shortly before evolving from a Shelmet.
Accelgor first started off as a Shelmet in Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader! when it was originally Bianca's third Pokémon. It fought against Elesa's Zebstrika during Bianca's Gym battle. It fought hard with its Acid and Energy Ball attacks, however, every attempt of an attack was dodged. A Flame Charge left it on the brink of defeat and sent it flying, and a Double Kick on the way down finished it off. Shelmet was still injured after the battle, and Bianca was worried, but Iris gave it some medicine and it felt better.
It later appeared in Evolution Exchange Excitement! where it was traded for Professor Juniper's Karrablast. The trade resulted in an evolution for both, and Professor Juniper was Accelgor's new owner.

Simple Steps to a Healthier You
13 Ways to Beat Stress in 15 Minutes or Less
Surprising stress-busters
by Yelena Shuster
Ever felt like you just can't unwind after a demanding week? That's because stress triggers your body's fight or flight response: your adrenaline starts pumping, your heart beats faster, and your blood pressure rises, explains Ash Nadkarni, MD, an associate psychiatrist at Brigham & Women's Hospital. "Long-term overexposure to stress hormones can cause increased risk of health problems such as anxiety, depression, heart disease, weight gain, and memory and concentration problems," Dr. Nadkarni adds.
That's not exactly a relaxing thought. So what should you do when calming classics like downward-facing dog and chamomile tea don't work? Check out these alternative ways to de-stress recommended by experts and recent studies.

Donor Profile: Larry & Pat Wetter
AMES, Iowa-When Rinard High School lost in the sub-state game of the 1951 Iowa state basketball tournament to a Roland High School team led by future Cyclone great Gary "the Roland Rocket" Thompson, Larry Wetter thought his basketball career was probably over. But just days later, Iowa State head men's basketball coach Clayton "Chick" Sutherland gave Wetter a call. Within days, Wetter was a basketball player again – this time as a Cyclone with a full-ride athletic scholarship.
Today, over 50 years since Wetter last stepped on the hardwood as a Cyclone, he and his wife Pat are being recognized for helping create positive experiences for current Cyclone athletes. The Wetters recently donated more than $1 million to help Cyclone athletics "Take the Next Big Step."
"If the money we give to Iowa State could help someone have the experiences and fun that I had, that is our goal," Wetter said.
Wetter was a member of the Cyclone basketball team from 1951-55. He saw limited playing time in his freshman campaign, but saw increasing minutes with each following season. By his senior year, Wetter was named a co-captain and starter under new head coach Bill Strannigan.
Though Wetter recalls only average success during his tenure as a Cyclone hoopster, the experience was about more than victories.
"We only had a fair record, but a lot of fun, and I got to travel," Wetter said. "Some of my best friends are from that Iowa State team in 1954-55."
After graduating with an industrial economics degree, Wetter began his professional career in 1960 with the founding of JELD-WEN Corporation, a window and doors manufacturer. Wetter, fellow Iowa State graduate Dick Wendt and three others founded the company.
"We started very modestly, but we were able to grow it into the world's largest window and door manufacturer," Wetter said. "We manufacture or distribute our products in every state in the United States and in 40 foreign countries."
Wetter is now retired and resides with his wife in Carefree, Ariz. Retirement has allowed the Wetters time to make an annual trip to attend Iowa State football games. Wetter is also a member of the Order of the Knoll, ISU Alumni Association and the Iowa State Letterwinner's Club.
But even when he's in Arizona, far from the heart of Cyclone country, Wetter says it's easy to be a Cyclone fan.
"We've gone to some affairs here which ISU has hosted and I'm always amazed that there are so many alumni fans that follow Cyclone sports here in Arizona," said Wetter. "There can be dozens of ISU alumni at a single cocktail party."
In 2001, the Wetters also donated $500,000 to Bergstrom Indoor Facility capital campaign. The Iowa State Athletics Department would like to thank the Wetters for their generous gift and for helping the Cyclones " Take the Next Big Step."
A few questions for Mr. Larry Wetter
Q: When was your first ISU athletic event?
A: My junior year of high school in 1949.
Q: What was your most memorable game as player?
A: My senior year when we beat K-State in the first round of the Big 7 tournament. That really set us up for a good season. Two other games that stood out were against Oklahoma and Nebraska that year, those were my best performances as a player.
Q: Any favorite places to travel or play in?
A: I always enjoyed Boulder, Colorado. We always had to go down a couple of days early and get
adjusted to the altitude.
Q: Do you have any favorite players for basketball?
A: My team that I played with my senior year. I still keep in touch with all of those players. I also liked watching ISU during the "Hornacek years" and when we had Fizer and Tinsley.

LEESBURG, Va. (WUSA9) -- Leesburg Police say they have identified a man and woman they earlier described as "suspicious subjects" in a larceny from a business last month.
According to police, money was stolen from the Chimole Wine and Tapas Lounge at 10 South King Streeet on August 17. Police say a surveillance camera showed two people inside the lounge. They asked anyone who recognized the woman and man to call them with information.
The woman is described as a white female, between 5'4" tall and 5'7" tall, between 150 and 180 pounds with long blond hair.
The man is described as a white male, between 6' and 6'4" tall, between 180 and 220 pounds with long brown hair.
Thursday morning, police reported that the two people were identified but did not immediately release any other details.

Arson suspect claims she was set up in cheese factory fire | News
TURLOCK, CA - A fire at an abandoned cheese factory Tuesday night was not only arson, but attempted murder, Turlock police said.
When fire crews arrived at the scene on West Main and Tully streets around 7:19 p.m. Tuesday, they found the building engulfed in flames, Turlock police officer Mayra Lewis said.
Crews battled the fire for nearly two hours before getting it under control. Lewis said the fire started inside of the building and was considered suspicious.
On Wednesday, police arrested Lanette Sullivan, Wanda White and Erica Clardy for felony arson and attempted murder. Police said the three women, the male victim and several other homeless people were living in the factory. Police believe the victim got into an argument with one of the women, which turned into a fight with all three.
Sullivan, 46, said she is innocent during a jailhouse interview.
"Why am I sitting here then?" Sullivan questioned. "My sister did nothing. I did nothing wrong. I didn't set fire to it. They didn't set fire to it."
"In an attempt to protect himself, the victim went and hid in the rafters," Lewis said. "The responsibles all knew all he was up there and intentionally caused this fire."
"They're a liar," Sullivan said. "That's straight up a lie."
Sullivan admitted she was there that night. She said she got into a fight with her ex-boyfriend, which turned physical. Sullivan claimed she called her sister for help, but she said they went home before flames raced through the building.
"I took the bath, ate a spaghetti dinner with salad and fell asleep to be woke up asking if I would come down to the station and give a statement," Sullivan recounted.
Sullivan also said she thinks the fire was started accidentally.
"There was already a fire already started in there when I came in," Sullivan said. "They have campfires going in there that are taller than me."
Police and fire investigators said the women set items inside the building on fire. Everyone inside got out unharmed including the victim, who was able to escape before the building was fully engulfed. Police said the victim refused medical treatment.
Lewis said the victim's interview with police led to the arrests of the three women.
