In the good old days, a bank was somewhere you kept your money at to avoid hiding it under the mattress. Over the past hundred years though, the banking industry has completely transformed – pausing for some time as a business that would simply take deposits for investors at a lower interest rate and loan it out at a higher one – until it became what it is now.
Banks are now huge global entities. Technology and deregulation led them to indulge in extreme risk-taking and complex securitisation activities, which ultimately caused some to collapse in the financial crisis. The industry is now rebuilding, regrouping, and on a steep learning curve. It is constantly evolving and subject to regulatory pressures as well as public and private scrutiny on a level never seen before. All of this makes it exciting. But if you are thinking of embarking on a career in this dynamic environment, there are some important factors you must take into consideration.
As you will be aware, becoming an ACCA member is not simply about passing exams. There is also the practical experience requirement (PER). This can be done before, during and after completion of your exams. PER provides a structure for you to follow by setting you a range of performance objectives. The performance objectives ensure you gain the experience to demonstrate that you have the abilities required to become a member.
Completing the performance objectives will allow you to:
- apply in practice the knowledge and techniques gained through your studies towards the ACCA exams
- observe and be involved in real-life work situations that help you to develop the skills, attitudes and behaviours you will need as a qualified accountant
- develop your judgment, encouraging you to reflect on the quality of your work and how you may improve your work performance in the future. To complete your PER you need to be working in an accounting or finance-related role, complete 36 months in an accounting‑related role, achieve 13 performance objectives, record your progress and make a PER return each year.
Nine of the performance objectives are essential, explains Natasha Gadsby, ACCA business development manager, corporate sector lead, and cover general things, such as using IT, managing a project, and four optional ones, from a list of 11, are more specialised (eg tax and audit). The key thing, though, is that you must be in an accounting or finance role and your supervisor (who verifies your returns) must be a qualified accountant. For these reasons, working as a cashier in a bank does not qualify you.
'The aim of PER is to help with exams in terms of gaining the skills you need to be a accountant,' says Gadsby, 'In fact, I trained with HSBC as a project manager.'
However, the fact that working as a cashier can't be used towards your ACCA membership doesn't not mean that it isn't a good way to get general work experience. It can be a useful rung at the start of your career, from where you can move within the bank to a finance or accounting role that does satisfy the PER. So don't be alarmed if you are in a cashier's role at present, but do start to think about where your career in the bank can go to best complement your ACCA Qualification.
There is most definitely an appetite for ACCAs in the banking sector. Andreas Gaitzsch is Business Partner Finance Academy at Lloyds Banking Group and says: 'ACCAs tend to be technically sound with knowledge and skills that span both management and financial accounting. In my experience, ACCA students benefit from a strong understanding of what it means to work in industry and are very obviously determined in their choice of career; embarking on a course of study while working full-time is a big commitment not undertaken lightly.'
'Typical roles for accountants in banking include positions as financial accountants, management accountants, MI analysts, project accountants, internal auditors and product controllers,' continues Jo Phillips, account manager at Badenoch & Clark, all of which are roles which can be used towards the PER aspect of the ACCA Qualification.
And these roles span a number of different departments. As Gaitzsch says, there are opportunities to work across all business divisions including wholesale, retail, wealth and international, group operations, insurance and group executive functions.
A job in banking will particularly suit an individual who finds the idea of working in a fast-paced environment exciting and challenging. 'It has a vast number of opportunities and is subject to increasing regulatory changes meaning things don't tend to stand still for long,' says Gaitzsch.
Phillips agrees. 'Challenges include dealing with information and products crucial to the performance of the bank. A number of change and transformation programs are taking place so roles will be both diverse and high profile with opportunities for senior management and stakeholder relations,' she says.

Historical Traveler Reviews Yellowstone Basin Inn Gardiner
Great base for a Yellowstone visit
The Yellowstone Basin Inn is a great place to stay if you're visiting Yellowstone. We made a week-long visit to the park, and stayed at the Inn the entire time.
Although the Inn is in Gardiner, MT, at the north entrance to the park, we were still able to get "complete coverage" on all of the park attractions. Our method was to pack a lunch and head out for day trips. We would leave mid-morning, and return to the Inn in the early evening.
The innkeepers are friendly and knowledgeable, and very helpful in planning itineraries and in recommending places to eat.
The accommodations are first-rate ... upscale, clean and well-maintained ... and the view from the front of the Inn is spectacular.
I am happy to give the Inn a high and enthusiastic recommendation.
Kern Parker
Asheville, NC
It Was Paradise
Our stay at the Yellowstone Basin Inn was in the Paradise Cabin for 3 nights. It was Paradise! The room was very spacious, immaculately clean and tastefully decorated.
Greg and Sabina were wonderful innkeepers. It is very obvious that they love what they are doing. Greg recommended some great hiking trails in Yellowstone along with other points of interest to see in the park. The Hot Tub felt great after a day of hiking.We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at The Lighthouse that Sabina told us about that is just 2 miles north of the Inn. The food was excellent with a nice atmosphere.
On our early morning departure, ( 5:30 AM was early for us), we were given a surprise gift. The "blue moon" was shining brightly and descending behind Electric Peak. What a beautiful sight.
We would highly recommend the Yellowstone Basin Inn and hope to return someday soon.
Extremely comfortable and pleasant
Exceptionally clean with nice attention to detail. We rented the largest suite, I think it's called the Cottage Suite. For the size, caliber, and the price, it really needs to have another bathroom downstairs. Another half-bath is available in an inconvenient location, but it's not much use without a shower. It has three queen beds and a twin - that sleeps 7 people, and one shower? Difficult when sharing with 2 teenagers, as we were, heh heh. Greg (the owner) does plan to add a bath downstairs when finances permit.
Other than that, it's a lovely facility, probably the nicest we stayed in the entire trip. The kitchen has highly filtered drinking water (reverse osmosis, I think) - a nice touch. The couple that own the hotel originally lived in this suite, so it's quite house-like in its design and decor. The views are wonderful and it's so quiet and peaceful. Greg is very friendly and helpful, and quite knowledgeable about the area. He works hard at running a quality hotel and plans to expand in the future. Wonderful place and very liveable.
A beautiful home away from home
We stayed at the Yellowstone Basin Inn May 20-27 and it was a wonderful experience. Our suite (The Yellowstone Suite) was spacious and had wonderful views, both from our bedroom and the living room. The rooms are well kept and spotlessly clean, which I really appreciate. The innkeepers Gregg and Sabina are very helpful. It was a wonderful place to come back to at the end of a day in the park. Can't say enough about our experience at the Yellowstone Basin Inn. it was perfect! We can't wait to come back.
Big Sky Country hospitality
Although there's not much around, and oh those clear (cold!) Montana skies beckon me, it's really that hottub at the end of the building that's the "pi�ce de r�sistance" after the sun goes down at the Basin. A very nice, well situated, quiet and accommodating Inn it is. Perhaps the most valued asset is the management. Courteous, friendly and hospitable (very customer oriented) the Inn is operated more as a b&b than a hotel/motel. The LaDuke unit was ours for a few nights in the Fall. It is conveniently located to the northern entrance of Yellowstone NP. Services are scant. Gardiner is quaint in it's own right. The people are very midwestern-ish (kind, caring and genuine, hard working and pleasant). However, there's not much there. The LightHouse restaurant was recommended at the front desk (along with several "area" dining options, complete with menus! Nice touch! Very nice...) which we partook of and it was indeed a pleasant surprise. Hosted very graciously. Pizza at the K-Bar across the river was very decent (the atmosphere was a little un-nerving at first sight, but the place grows on ya') The real entertainment is next door watching the inebriated tumble down a half flight of stairs into the parking lot!). Back across the river and up the road "a ways", The LaDuke room is well appointed, cozy (in a western way) with wrought iron king-size bed framing. Clean and spacious, reasonably priced. And I slept well after a couple of very long days hiking the Park. Nice place to stay (one of the few places to stay, by the way!) and experience that late-night hottub under Montana's Big starry Sky.
Warm welcome and great accommodation
My wife and I stayed here on our recent trip to the US, where we travelled from Chicago to Seattle and took in a number of National Parks in between. We arrived at the Inn after a journey through some pretty rough wildfires and smoke on the I-90 and were glad to get to the Inn, which is really well signposted and easy to find. Upon walking up to the office, we met Greg, the owner and manager, who welcomed us warmly and got us a complimentary (and much needed!) drink. He was really helpful in suggesting places to go in the park, places to eat outside the park (the Lighthouse Inn was a really good recommendation and makes fantastic coconut soup and Phad Thai) and during our stay we came to appreciate that Greg added a lot to our enjoyment of Yellowstone.
When we saw our room, we knew we had made the right choice. The place was meticulously clean, very spacious and Greg couldn't do enough to help out. The microwave and fridge in one of the closets were good additions and the bed was comfortable and TV line-up more than adequate. We found it hard to fault anything in the room.
Breakfast was a time to mix with other guests and chat with Greg about everything and anything. The granola was great and the muffins, coffee, croissants and bagels were good too. Plenty of coffee was served up and the conversation and craic (as we say in Ireland) was good.
In the end, we moved on to Jackson to see Grand Teton, but were sad to leave the Inn and the great accommodation it had provided. The whole experience was a testament to the difference a friendly and professional owner can make to your stay - I would warmly recommend the Yellowstone Basin Inn to anyone, with the sure knowledge that they won't be disappointed.
Great place to stay when visiting Yellowstone National Park!
Located just 5 miles north of Gardiner, MT and the North Entrance to Yellowstone Park (5 mins on RT 89N). The mountains on either side of the highway offer different looks depending on the time of day. The hotel rooms provide a view of "Electric Peak" and stepping just outside offers a view of an interesting vertical reddish-orange slice in a nearby ridge that is called "Devil's Slide".
We were offered a cold soft drink or beer by our host Greg when we arrived. We stayed in room #4 called "Ridin' High". This room is on the second floor and does include a flight of stairs. It was clean, SPACIOUS, and nicely furnished. We only needed one of the two closets. The refrigerator was handy and we used the small microwave to reheat some left-overs one day. The bed was really FIRM and was by far the best we've slept on anywhere! Only improvement to the room we could think of was to upgrade the queen bed to a king.
A continental breakfast is available in the office with two small tables. If dressed for the cool morning, the porch was a great alternative with the view. The breakfast included croissants, muffins, bagels, and English muffins; as well as cereal and oatmeal. And coffee, orange juice, milk, and tea. Guests exchange information here and Greg is a good source of area information as well.
Some recommendations: (1) The "Lighthouse Restaurant" is just down the road and is nicer than it looks from the outside. The food was good, the service was more than attentive, and the background music was relaxing. Two of the waitresses are also housekeepers at YBI! And (2), Greg recommended "North Fork Outfitters" for a horseback ride. They are located about 5 miles up a gravel road from Gardiner just past the "town" of Jardine. We are novice horseback riders and there were some young children in the group who thoroughly enjoyed the outing. If you are more experienced, they would be a good choice as well.
The drive into Yellowstone from the North Entrance to the first junction (Mammoth Hot Springs) is very scenic -- mountains, a river, and winding road. We didn't mind traversing this same route several days in a row to/from the park!
On this trip we stayed at AAA three-diamond Best Western's in Teton Village ($200+/night) and Cody, WY ($130+/night); and a Holiday Inn in West Yellowstone ($145+/night). We would have skipped over Yellowstone Basin Inn (AAA only two-diamonds) had we not seen the other good reviews here on TripAdvisor.com. At about $120+/night, the Yellowstone Basin Inn was clearly the best experience and best value of the trip! AAA ought to take another look ...
Can't get much better than this!
Stayed at the Yellowstone Basin Inn earlier this month. It is only 5 miles north of Gardiner and Yellowstone National Park. Gardiner is a small town anyway, and it only took a few minutes to get to the YBI. My husband and I rented the main floor of the cottage suite. What a view! We looked out onto Electric Peak and when you walked out the door, there was the Devil's Slide. It was hard to tear ourselves away to go into Yellowstone. Greg and Sabina are excellent hosts and their dog, Sam, is a sweetheart! Greg is interested in travel himself and wanted to hear about Virginia. Sabina is working on a novel and was quite helpful with dining arrangements. First night we wanted someplace close by, but good, that didn't require any dressing up. She recommended a place just 2 miles north of the YBI that without her suggestion, we would have easily passed by. Ended up being one of the best meals we had!
The rooms are immaculate. They do use natural cleaning products which does help for folks like me with asthma and allergies. The beds were the best of the trip (we stayed in 4 different places). Only problem was that you didn't want to get out of them!
Breakfast was continental and available in the office. Plans are underway to expand the dining area in the future.
Next trip to Yellowstone, I just might fly into Bozeman and make the YBI my base as it is only about 1.5 hours north. As other reviewers said, after staying here, I wish I had spent my entire vacation at the YBI!
Small inn, good value, away from the park
Although it was outside the park, it was worth the drive to spend a couple of nights in this clean and pretty inn. The owners keep the place very nice, and make it clear that they expect guests to do the same. If you want a specific room (pictured on their website), do make that clear, as the owners sometimes do some reassigning around of rooms AFTER confirmations are sent out. (In my case, they upgraded me -- but each room is different and you may have your heart set on a particular room.) Continental breakfast is okay but not great. Overall, very good value -- especially compared to prices inside the park.
Yellowstone Basin Inn-Great little motel
We spent 2 nights here. Clean, comfortable and a good value. Rooms are very modern and show no sign of wear. Nice continental breakfast served. Would certainally stay here again, especially after seeing what the other motels look like in Gardiner. Great hosts with alot of area insight.

Hundreds of people celebrated Military Appreciation Day at the Bay Point Marina Saturday.
This year marks the fourth time the Veterans Task Force has put on the event.
Nearly a year of planning went into the event, where current and former members of the military could enjoy themselves by fishing and spending time with family and friends.
One veteran tells us he plans to welcome all active military members home.
He wants to help them through some of the issues they may be facing.
"When we look at these young men, we see ourselves," says Larry Bruce, "Most of us were the same age as them when we went into the military. We know first hand what they are going through."
The event cost about $9,000 to put together and hundreds of volunteers showed up to help out.

About Us
The UConn Co-op is a not-for-profit cooperative dedicated to serving the academic, cultural and social life of the faculty and students of UConn and the surrounding communities. The Co-op offers a vast array of goods and services in all price ranges, understanding that students and faculty want choice. The Co-op supports student organizations, faculty endeavors, cultural events, diversity, the university's commitment to a sustainable environment, school spirit and a fun experience through the offerings in the store, events, partnerships, outreach and donations. The UConn Co-op is the official bookstore for the University of Connecticut.
The UConn Co-op's Story
The UConn Co-op was incorporated in January of 1975 and opened April 1 of 1975. Wanting a bookstore that was more responsive to the needs of students than the lease operator that ran the bookstore at that time, the President appointed a task force of faculty and students to make recommendations. They recommended a co-op. By creating a not-for-profit co-operative, they ensured a non-profit bookstore that was owned and governed by students and faculty, in place of the out-of-state for-profit corporation that preceded it.
From the beginning the Co-op was committed to serving students at all UConn campuses. It also committed to keeping textbooks available throughout the semester, unlike its lease predecessor. The Co-op continues today, serving all UConn campuses including Avery Point, Hartford, Stamford, Torrington, Waterbury, UConn Health, the UConn School of Law and the Graduate Business Learning Center as a not for profit co-operative with more than 30,000 active student, faculty and alumni members.
Within a few years of its inception, the Co-op built the flagship store on land leased from UConn in the center of campus. It was immediately a busy campus hub, visited all day by students and faculty. Here, the Co-op celebrated the first men's national championship game and the women's basketball team's rise to national prominence. We hosted many well-known authors such as Ken Kesey, Douglas Adams, Anne Rice and Madeline L'Engle. In addition to authors we brought to campus as our guests, we also supported author visits and lectures hosted by various departments on campus. We computerized our inventory, starting with textbooks and were one of the first college bookstores in the nation to sell computer hardware and software.
It was also during this time that, in 1992 we partnered with the UConn Libraries and began the Connecticut Children's Book Fair, recognized today throughout the country for its excellence: the top caliber of authors and illustrators it brings in, the outreach to at risk schools, and the opportunity it presents for UConn's art students to have their work critiqued by a professional working artist and to compete for an award. The Fair benefits the Northeast Children's Literature Collection. Bestselling children's author and illustrator Tomie dePaola calls it "the best run book fair."
In the fall of 2002, the Co-op was moved to a new two-story bookstore attached to the parking garage near Gampel Pavilion to help UConn pay for the garage. Now, instead of owning our building, as we had with the first building, we became a tenant of the University, making monthly bond payments.
Here, we continued to celebrate athletic victories. We expanded our computer sales and repair departments. We added new lines to our UConn insignia department. And we hosted many authors among them best-selling writers Wally Lamb, Jonathan Spence, and Frances Moore Lappé. We also hosted authors on other campuses such Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld of the Innocence Project whom we brought to the School of Law School.
In 2001 the University and the Town of Mansfield formed the Mansfield Downtown Partnership to create a vibrant pedestrian-friendly downtown with shops and housing and cultural attractions similar to such college towns as Northampton and Amherst. The townspeople and UConn made it clear that they wanted a bookstore to anchor the downtown. In answer to this, the UConn Co-op opened The UConn Co-op Bookstore at Storrs Center, partnering with the Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry and Le Petit Marché Café (with Dining Services). Here we have a state of the art black box theater, which we share with the museum. We host many events, including student run poetry slams, readings by well known and faculty authors, and musical performances. Other businesses in Storrs Center, particularly the restaurants, say the events bring business to their establishments. When Oglala Sioux activist and author Eagle Man (Ed McGaa) visited, he called the bookstore the "holiest building in Storrs" because it passes along "the most crucial tool our species possesses."
Jason Courtmanche, Director of the Connecticut Writing Project told us, "My family loves the Co-op, especially my children. Everyone who works there knows them by name and puts aside books of interest for them. The kids love to read in the children and young adult section, maybe get a snack or even go check out the puppets next door. My wife and I also love the music and the poetry readings and art shows." As construction on Storrs Center is completed, we look forward to growth.
Plans are now underway to build a UConn Co-op in the new Hartford campus. We are working with the university on these plans and expect to open in 2017.
As an independent, member-owned co-op, the UConn Co-op is deeply committed to meeting your needs. We want to know what you want. Contact us anytime: firstname.lastname@example.com

Oklahoma lawmakers should make Florida-style Medicaid reform a priority in 2014
ON Oct. 11, 2010, Moise Brutus was in a motorcycle accident. He awoke from a coma three days later as a triple amputee, having lost both legs and his left hand.
In many ways that nightmare scenario was made worse by what followed when Brutus experienced life in the traditional Medicaid system.
"It was really tough," Brutus said. "At one point, I remember thinking, 'I can't believe I'm in the United States.' Because it felt like I was getting Third World country care."
His mother often had to change his bandages. At one point, a bone jutted out of his leg, but he was sent home from the emergency room without treatment. The prosthetics that Medicaid provided kept breaking — at a taxpayer cost of $25,000 to $30,000 apiece — while rehabilitation centers accepting Medicaid couldn't serve a triple-amputee. Brutus fell into deep clinical depression; his weight dropped to 76 pounds.
Fortunately for Brutus, his home state of Florida embarked on a Medicaid reform. It lets private insurance plans compete to provide managed care for Medicaid patients. Customized patient benefits replaced a one-size-fits-all approach. The reform included incentives for providers to take the most challenging patients. It rewarded providers based on health improvement. Florida Medicaid patients soon had a choice of up to 11 private plans.
Brutus was among those benefiting from the pilot project. The difference was dramatic: Coverage provided through privately managed Medicaid plans paid to repair his leg stump. He got prostheses costing around $60,000 apiece — but those were one-time expenses because the prosthetics didn't break. He was sent to a quality rehab facility, where he learned not only to walk again but to ride a bike. He's now a competitive cyclist biking 100 miles per week. And his coverage connected Brutus with support groups helping address the mental health challenges he faced.
Today Brutus is nearing college graduation with a degree in chemistry. He expects to soon be a gainfully employed, taxpaying citizen who leaves Medicaid support behind.
Oklahoma officials are being pressured to expand Medicaid as a result of Obamacare. A better option would be to focus on making Medicaid work for those already in the existing program by pursuing Florida-style reforms here. These reforms would not only benefit patients like Brutus, but would save taxpayer money.
Once expanded statewide, Florida's reform is expected to save $1 billion per year; a similar effort in Louisiana is estimated to save $159 million in its first year. In Kansas, similar reforms are projected to save $1.1 billion over five years — all without reducing patient care and, in many cases, improving it.
House Bill 1552, by Rep. Mark McCullough, R-Sapulpa, and Sen. A.J. Griffin, R-Guthrie, would enact Florida-style reforms in Oklahoma. The bill appears stalled this year. Lawmakers should make it a priority next session. The growing cost of the existing Oklahoma Medicaid program is already diverting money from schools, roads and public safety, so the potential taxpayer savings alone should appeal to lawmakers.
But most of all, it could mean far better outcomes for those the program is supposed to serve. As Brutus notes, "There's really millions of other people just like me out there."

I spent yesterday at the Luckiamute river with my wife. It was a beautifill sunny winter day. Upper 40s, water 43. The place is just beautifull. The water in the river was cristal clear. The river is not deep thoug. Don't know if there are fish there (didn't catch any didn't see any).
Hey! Don't go giving away my secret fishing rivers!!
The Luckiamute picks up when the weather gets warmer. I fish the lower river by Adair Village (Helmick Park, between Monmouth and Corvallis) for summer smallmouth.
I tried to fish in Helmick Park but the water is so muddy there. I coudn't beleive it's the same river.
May be we'll visit that hole together when it's warmer?
That is a georgeous river. Nice pics Anatoliy. Does it have a Steelie run? Chinook run?

Too bad about the fishing but you sure know how to share great pictures!
Success is just a failure away!
Oops. Luckiamute river is not open for fishing. :shock:
I didn't do it. It was not me. :whistle:
Don't feel too bad about it. The first time I was there I was knocking the bass and pike minnows dead. Found out the next day that it is artificial flies and lures only..... :shock:
It will be available after opening day for streams, but trout are catch and release year round there.
Nice pics, Anitoliy. Thank you.

from: The Onion Book of Known Knowledge
theres just got to be some fish............
My favorite place to fish for smallmouth on the Luckiamute is right where it flows into the Willamette at Buena Vista. Put in at the ferry and motor up (or row) into the mouth and it is great stuff. One evening at dusk I tied on a really small rust colored jig that I tied (kinda like a crappie jig) and skimmed it along the top in about 2'' strips very fast and I hit fish after fish after fish. All nice smallmouth. Ran into a guy one time that is part of a little club in the valley and they have tournaments there every now and then. If your boat floats high enough you can get about a mile and a half up stream. One afternoon there I saw a smallmouth that was so damn massive I though it was a carp at first! Great stuff check it out.
where are those pictures taken at. the river looks real fishy. i don't need an exact location but a town name would be good so i can look it up on the map.

Dublin raid suspect is UK fugitive
A man arrested in connection with a bank robbery in Blackrock, south Dublin, yesterday evening is wanted in Britain after escaping jail where he was serving a life sentence.
One of Britain's most wanted men, Derek Brockwell (51) was featured in the BBC's Crimewatch television programme last Thursday, when the British public was asked to supply information on his whereabouts but warned that he is "dangerous".
Brockwell is currently being questioned in Dublin about the robbery of €6,000 from the Bank of Ireland branch in Blackrock yesterday afternoon. A firearm, described as a handgun, was used to threaten staff and customers during the robbery at 3.50pm at the branch on Main Street.
Brockwell left the bank with money and tried to escape using a taxi. He was arrested after gardaí stopped the taxi on Merrion Road. He was taken to Blackrock Garda station and is being questioned there this afternoon under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act.
Brockwell, an Englishman, is a prolific criminal who was jailed for life for a series of armed robberies in England and had 22 life sentences to run concurrently imposed on him. He carried out armed robberies on betting shops in London's Marylebone and Paddington areas during September and October 2009, deliberately selecting target shops with female cashiers. Because he had so many previous convictions, his trial judge was obliged to impose life sentences.
However, when he was serving his sentence in Kirkham Prison in England he failed to return to the jail after being released to work in Blackpool as part of a day release programme.
Police in Britain now want to speak to Brockwell in connection with an attempted robbery at a NatWest bank on St Annes Road West, Lytham St Annes on February 28th.
Brockwell, who has links with London, Glasgow and the Republic of Ireland, was listed as a wanted man on the BBC's Crimewatch programme on Thursday. Although nothing was taken and no-one was hurt during the incident, officers in England warned he is considered to be "dangerous".
A Lancashire Police spokesman said: "I would appeal to anyone who knows where Derek Brockwell is to come forward and contact the police immediately. If anyone has any information then I would appeal to them to get in touch. Even the smallest details could prove crucial as we try to locate him."


text: HI! I am very new to this game and my Wizard is my first toon. I am in a raid guild, but with no other seasoned wizards. I was wondering if someone could explain a DPS rotation to me for raiding. I have freehand sorcery and iceshield on a macro and I hit that first.. Then I hit catylist, then fusion. Then I hit Frigid Gift, then E'ci's Frozen Wrath. After that I hit freehand/iceshield whenever it is usable again, same with catylist and frigid gift, and then I go through my other spells as they are available. I'm not even sure the rotation I do have is right lol. I appreciate any help. Thank you

Well the problem is, not many people care to get, or can afford, illegal guns.
For example, a handgun, let's say, is 50 grams. (I don't actually know how much a handgun is, so I'm going a bit low on my estimate.) Whereas 50 grams of cocaine would cost at
$5000, all you can sell with one handgun, at a reasonable price, would be at most $100, or somewhere around there.
So either, it's not worth smuggling, or it's going to be insanely expensive.
And let's be real here - the people who usually threaten people with guns, are pretty much rogue crazies. Not the richest people on the block.
And most people who are willing to put in such a big amount of effort to kill someone aren't going to be stopped anyways - think about all the people that make shootouts and whatnot. They just act on the moment, they don't plan things out.

By Jacqueline Rabe Thomaswww.ctmirror.org
When it comes to security systems at its schools, New Haven officials say cost has never been a factor for their cash-strapped district. It's not just that they prioritize security: The state pays almost the entire bill to install things like cameras, buzzer systems and locks for every classroom.
Security infrastructure is a cost the state picks up, to varying degrees, in districts across Connecticut. Today, the State's Bond Commission was expected to approve $280 million to pay for local school construction projects—some of which will go to ensure students are safe.
"The state clearly recognizes the need to support security," said Will Clark, New Haven's chief operating officer. The state covers somewhere between 70 to 100 percent of the costs of the city's construction costs.
As the Bond Commission meets, citizens from across the country are expected at the state Capitol complex to testify about school security in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. On Dec. 14, a gunman shot his way into the suburban Newtown school and killed 20 children and six educators.

Pavers are actually quite easy to install and really only require one tool to be rented, a plate compactor. The heavy work is in excavating the area to about 6 and 1/2 inches below grade and moving the dirt. Then you build up the base with crusherun/crush&run which is a crushed stone. Build it up in 2 layers running the compactor over the area. A homeowner can use a 4 foot level and a 2x4 board to help get the crushed stone base to a proper pitch and close to even. Remember that the base should extend about 6" beyond the last paver.
The exact level surface is then done using 3/4" iron pipes. You will need at least 2 pipes. Lay the pipes across the base and check with a level to see if you have the proper grade. Use a little sand to adjust the pipes. With the pipes set, you begin shoveling the sand into the area and with a straight board, you screed (drag) the sand. You are left with a perfectly level surface of sand. As you move along, remove the pipes and fill the gaps with sand. Remember to not walk on the sand once it is screeded.
For a larger patio, we usually work in sections laying pavers as we go so that we can then work off of the already laid pavers. The

We stayed here for a month while visiting family and friends. This is a very nice park with excellent office personnel. There are a lot of monthly rentals in the park but all of the people were very friendly. There is a nice dock for fishing or just sitting and looking out at the waterway and watching the birds and boats. There is no boat ramp, but there is one very close to the park. We would definitely stay here again when in the area. - Beachlovers
Sep 2014 - $45.00
We were pleasantly surprised by this park. It is secluded and area attractions are somewhat of a drive away. Management was very friendly, we came in later than expected due to traffic. We were escorted to our site, host turned on and tested water and gave us a brief overview. This park seems to cater mostly to long term guests, and is in excellent condition. The long term guests were very friendly and we felt welcome right away. Construction is currently underway on the new bathhouse which will be nice for the short term guests. We were unable to get wifi in our area of the park, but it was free and fast at the clubhouse. Our US Cellular data stayed mostly on 1X and our Verizon data was only OK with 3G. We especially enjoyed the water views, cool breezes, the pier and the fishing. There isn't a boat ramp here but a wildlife ramp is very close to park and there is space to tie up at pier. If you are looking for a campground close to the beaches, this may not be the place for you. We passed several on our trip to the beach that were much closer to attractions. However if you are looking for a quiet, spacious park with a pool, friendly people, great views and a relaxing atmosphere, we definitely recommend this park. We are planning to return with our kayaks on our next trip to enjoy the water. - JJPP17
May 2014 - $45.00
New park, New management. We arrived later than planned and Manager didn't bother with paperwork then, got us parked and told us not to worry setting up, come eat as they were having a large campground cookout. Beautiful place. Will be going back. I know some have differing experiences due to the management change and it's for the best. Within 1 month the new manager has cleaned up the marsh, installed a playground, and was ready to break ground on the bath house. Not sure of status now in August. All new fire rings were dropped off day before my May visit. Talking with manager I learned many projects were in the works. Cable TV, Internet, more playground additions, more campsites. I recommended good Internet since most everything is streamed now including TV. The over the air reception was excellent on all channels and has most channels I've ever received (over 24). If you want peace and quiet, do a little fishing, reading, relaxing etc, look no further this is the place you want to be. Only time I fell asleep in my chair it was so nice. Its not that far from Topsail Beach if you want to go there but this place is nice and secluded. I hope they put in a place for dog water access. I have 2 chocolate labs and they were dying to get to the water. I plan to return in October and am anxious as to what all has been completed with the projects. - camper99

Best Uses
great and light weight. perfect for draping. using to make sea walls and animals will be seen from behind. Awesome. Can't wait to use it for Vacation Bible School. I do wish it was taller than 6 feet but we will just run 2 sections of it to get the height we need. I am afraid it is so thin that it will tear easily but we need it light weight to hang it on the walls. If you have tall ceilings i would suggest getting the taller one. It will make it so much easier and it'll look better in the long run.
Best Uses
I use this product for the 8th Grade Dinner Dance. It can be reused if you are careful about storage.
We use Poly Vinyl every year for the background walls of our Prom decorations. Although this was described as Dark Blue and appeared to be more navy than royal we were disappointed by the brighter color. We hope in dim light it will give the impression of night sky.
Best Uses
Quick and reasonably affordable product to create a backdrop. The dark blue was pretty, but I was expecting it to be slightly darker.
Best Uses
The theme for Vacation Bible School was related to being "overboard" and under water. The blue 12' poly vinyl draped on the church hallway walls made the perfect backdrop for sea creatures and plant life (We cut the width in half easily off the roll and it covered twice the 100' distance!). The children (and adults) were literally immersed in the feeling.
Best Uses
We use this product as a back drop for our prom.

The Plots
Knights of the Octagon TableIt is 930 AD and the kingdom is restless. King Creole just died and all of the Knights of the Octagon Table have all been notified, via chainmail, that they must now assemble and choose a new King. Their votes are being tainted by bribes from the Ladies in Waiting, Maidens of the Court, and the Queen, herself. Once the treasured artifacts are in place, Excalibur and the Wholly Grail, the Kinghts are set to cast their ballots...
The Unemployed Superhero Union MeetingFaster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.....to whom might we be referring? Certainly not this group. Once a fierce, fervent, crime-fighting force, the superheroes of yesterday aren't quite as sharp as they used to be. They have been out of work for the past few years and are looking to make a comeback. But first they need to get organized. Who will lead this compilation of caretakers back to their respected position in the crime-fighting community? Who will be there to ruin their plans? And who will die trying? Run, fly, or travel coach in a Value Jet, but do whatever it takes to get to this monumental meeting of muscle.
The Freda Love and Skip Moore WeddingIt's 1967, and Freda and Skip are about to consummate their impending nuptials. What could possibly go wrong on a beautiful day like this? Well we don't call it a murder mystery for nothing. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something in a body bag. Join the wedding party for an evening of love, laughs, and loaded weapons.
Appalachian Family ReunionAll the kinfolk are getting together for down-home family fun - country style. The only problem is that these folks feud more among themselves than the Hatfields ever did with the McCoys. Grab your squirrel rifle and head on down. Is that banjo music I'm hearing?
The Hiney AwardsWe're rolling out Red's carpet for the most celebrated evening of the year, the presentation of this year's Hiney Awards. The Motion Picture Association has shunned them, and the Actors Guild is embarrassed by them, but tonight they will receive their just desserts. Actors, directors, writers, and gaffers from the year's most forgettable movies will all be on hand to vie for the most coveted award of them all, The Hiney. Find out what movies are to die for at this year's awards.
Murder at The SpeakeasyIt's 1927, Calvin Coolidge is President, Mount Rushmore is dedicated, Babe Ruth slams 60 homers, Prohibition is in its 7th year, stocks are soaring and everyone is happy. Since alcohol is illegal, private clubs have turned up to circumvent the law. The biggest party of the year is going to be held at the private club known as White Oak and all the movers and shakers will be there. Everyone from city officials to gangsters. People will mingle, make connections, trade favors, and someone may even try on a pair of cement shoes for size.
The Lounge Singers' ConventionThese singers are so bad that the hotel that held their last convention had to be closed down by the health department. It was overrun with wild cats looking for mates whenever the group performed. We may be praying for more than just Elvis to leave the building. How many times can you stand to listen to Feelings in one night?
Class of 1969 ReunionThe kids are all grown up now and are heading back to Barry Manilow Memorial High School for their class reunion. Hope you were paying attention in math class, so you can count the survivors. This class has some secrets that make for an evening of whodunnit fun. Think of it as Carrie meets Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
BigfootThe inaugaral meeting of the Midwetern Southern Central Tri-County Bigfoot Guild will be held at the White Oak Inn, home of the famous wildlife authority Dr. Red Hiney. Anyone has either seen "The Abominable One" first hand or is interested in learning more about his lifestyle and behavior is invited to attend. From those present, Dr. Hiney will select two people to run for the office of President of the guild. And that's when the fur may start flying.....

Vacancy Review
"The Movie Had A Good Story To It."
October 27th, 2007
Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale did a good job of acting. The storyline was their car breaks down and they have to get a room for the night. It wasn't a boring movie to watch, it was actually entertaining. Wilson and Beckinsale thought smart during the movie, not like those movies where you say "Why the heck would you do that?" It was worth the watch.

thats why the discount.They hold some great products in their portfolio I am hoding on for a few weeks.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
But a 25% haircut? What about the fact that the company has 1.62 billion in cash, it would only take 300Million to retire the issue, it would be like a stock buyback only better with fewer fees. Something's fishy here. I will wait and see. GLTA
Nothing is fishy. Makes sense. Increases liquidity in stock trading while also being advantageous for tax purposes. You can't do a buyback with the current number of outstanding shares. The stock already has low volume b/c the shareholder company owned 51 percent of shares and was sitting on them. This was a way to add liquidity to the stock without diluting shares. It will be back up to 10 by end of January.

Lemon Caper Beurre Blanc Seafood Sauce
- 20 minPrep Time
- 10 minCook Time
- 8Servings
- 2 Tbsp. minced shallots
- 1/2 Bottle Chenin Blanc or Sauvignon Blanc Wine
- 1 ea. medium lemon, juiced
- 1 Tbsp. capers, drained
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz. unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- Place the shallots and wine in a stainless steel saucepan on the stove. On high heat, reduce wine for about 12 minutes or until almost completely reduced.
- Add lemon juice and capers to pan and reduce for about 1 minute.
- Add cream and bring to a boil; reducing by half for about 2-3 minutes on medium heat. Reduce cream until desired thickness is achieved. This step can be done up to an hour before serving the sauce. Once the desired thickness is reached, set heat on low.
- Cut butter into half-ounce cubes. Add cubes one at a time while constantly stirring with a whip. Wait until each cube is almost incorporated into the sauce before adding another. Once all the butter has been added, remove pan from heat, season with salt and serve.
- Ladle sauce over grilled Swordfish Steaks.
- If the sauce starts to separate on the edges while adding the butter and gets thin then add butter faster and lift pot up off of burner. If sauce starts to get very thick then add butter slower.
- If you desire to hold the sauce, the trick is to not let it get too cold or too hot. Maintain a temperature no cooler than 100° and no hotter than 130°. If the oven is on and burners off, leaving saucepan on the stovetop will usually keep it warm enough. Stir the sauce every 15 minutes or so if holding the sauce.

Watching Paris-Roubaix on Versus, it was apparent that the announcers had been instructed to convert speeds and distances from the usual Metric, to accommodate the American audience. It means a bunch of us were able to put our calculators down, or stop multiplying by .62 in our heads. They even told the audience how to do the calculation, though they said to divide by 1.6, which is, at least for me, harder.
Does this mean our sport is going mainstream? There are enough American viewers to actually warrant the consideration of putting the distances and speeds into a context we can relate to more easily? This was the first time I've heard the speeds and distances being consistently presented in both kilometers and miles.
Great win by the lanky (6' 5 1/2") Johan Vansummeren, who rode away from the lead group to win solo, holding off a rapidly gaining Fabian Cancellara. Provides motivation to us tall guys!

Former Marine Joshua Boston destroys Piers Morgan: Americans Aren't As Trigger-Happy As Media Claim (Video)
Yep, the snotty, arrogant Brit is still going on about limiting American's Second Amendment right. Morgan like the rest of CNN is desperate for ratings. Last night Piers Morgan featured Alex Jones who yelled and screamed at Morgan, not really making his pro Second Amendment that well. Former Marine Joshua Boston however didn't need to yell and scream to destroy the arrogant, snotty Brit. Former Marine Cpl. Joshua Boston also penned a letter to Diane Feinstein a few days ago telling the San Francisco Marxist that he will NOT be disarmed. Tonight, he owned Piers Morgan and told him 'The American people aren't as gun-happy and trigger-happy as they're being painted out to be by the media. They are smarter than that. They know when to hold their fire. They know when to fire.'

you are viewing a single comment's thread.
You stated that "...the most important factors for CRY's stock price are developing the Biofoam market in Europe and expanding the surgical use of Synergraft".Question #1 - It seems to me that Biofoam has characteristics of Bioglue, mainly the similar delivery syringe. This seems to me to be a sign of lack of research capability and lack of imagination on the part of CRY. Do you think that Biofoam is going to be a leading edge product? Do you see it developing a substantial revenue stream?Question #2 - The Synergraft technology just seems to me to be a continuation of the tissue business. The tissue business seems to have a low gross profit margin, heavy government regulation, high fixed costs, and just not be a product line that will ever add much to profit. Please explain to me how this product is ever likely to generate anything more than nominal positive cash flow improvement. I would enjoy reading your response and your opinions.
The relative low margins in tissue processing these past few years have advantages since they tend to get rid of one's competition. In the heart valve market, several of CRY's competitors have exited the business in the last 2 years leaving only the non-profit Lifenet. Tissue processing margins had a bad year in 2009, dropping about 10% as the economic downturn created price pressures and CRY signed a number of hospital contracts with price concessions. Synergraft is a definite improvement over regular tissue chiefly because it vastly reduces the immune response but also clinical evidence has shown Synergraft tissue lasts longer and performs better than the normal tissue. For these reasons, CRY gets a 10% to 30% price improvement on its Synergraft tissues. CRY hasn't gone to 100% Synergraft for its cardiac business because they are waiting on FDA 510K clearance for its Synergraft aortic valve, which is 40% of its cardiac business, and they are presently impeded by a 1-year shelf life regulation. CRY has 510 approval for the pulmonary valve and will convert to Synergraft for that business when they get an extension on the 1-year shelf life. They are currently working with the FDA to obtain that. Synergraft is also the technology CRY would use for future xenograft devices.Dept. of Defense grants of over $5 million were given for developing Biofoam. It functions as a hemostatic agent as well as an adhesive so it could be used for gunshot wounds or internal organ hemorrhages. While it is the same underlying chemical as Bioglue, it has a number of advantages. Once applied, it expands up to four times its size and sets within seconds while adhering itself to the tissue. It thus forms a mechanical barrier over the bleeding site while allowing the blood to coagulate. This expansion results in significant improvement in adhering to lacerations including such difficult areas as internal organs like the liver. Biofoam is biodegradable and fully digests itself in about 6 months which is preferred in surgery since you don't want to implant solid materials in a patient. Instead of a clear liquid that is only slightly more viscous than water, Biofoam is easily seen, doesn't run off while having a consistency and appearance frequently compared to a very hard Reddi-whip. Due to its expansion, Biofoam is not as strong as Bioglue but still can withstand the pressures one would encounter in cardiac surgery. Biofoam has received a CE mark in Europe for sealing internal organs and has applied for an IDE to do likewise in the U.S. CRY should soon apply for a CE mark to use Biofoam in European cardiac surgeries and late this year or early in 2011, plans to apply for a cardiac use IDE in the U.S. Biofoam would also be an improvement for the meshes currently used in hernias and results have been very positive in this application so far in Germany. I wouldn't totally forget about BioDisc which can be used for the treatment of herniated discs. Though it's in clinical trials, widespread use seems years away. However, it might become a valuable selling point for the company much earlier than that.

Best Adapted Screenplay
I love this category- it's easily one of my favorites. Normally I go in having read most of the books that the movies are based on, but this year I'm a little out of my element with two plays nominated.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Reader
Slumdog Millionaire
Slumdog Millionaire. It's such a great film and I didn't even realize that it was a book until it was over- a good sign of a good adaptation.
What Should Win:
Slumdog, for sure. I think there are too many inconsistencies with The Reader's adaptation to win here. I would love it if Frost/Nixon upset this category, though.

A professional women's soccer league will begin play next spring with eight clubs, including one in Seattle.
Women's professional soccer is back, and this time it will include a Seattle team.
U.S. Soccer confirmed Wednesday that an eight-team league will begin play next spring with clubs also in Portland, Boston, Chicago, Kansas City, New Jersey, western New York and Washington D.C.
Names have not been announced for the league or the Seattle team, which will be owned by Bill Predmore, founder and president of POP, a Seattle-based digital marketing agency.
"We are thrilled that the United States Soccer Federation has selected our club to represent Seattle in the new league," Predmore said in a statement. "In our proposal we articulated a clear mission: to become one of the best women's soccer clubs in the world. We believe the fans in Seattle deserve nothing less, and we look forward to earning their support over the coming weeks and months."

Most Read Stories
The Seattle team, according to the statement, will play a 22-game schedule starting in April — three against each league opponent and one extra against Portland, which will be run by the Timbers MLS franchise.
The first women's pro league, the Women's United Soccer Association, operated from 2000 through 2003. It was succeeded by Women's Professional Soccer, which folded in May after three years.
With hopes of sustainability this time, the new league model will be on a smaller scale (e.g. stadium sizes).
U.S. Soccer will also assume some front-office costs and pay the salaries of its participating national-team players. Soccer federations in Canada (up to 16 players) and Mexico (a minimum of 12) will do the same for its players.
That mechanism could help keep stars like Alex Morgan and Hope Solo in Seattle. They led a talent-laden group this summer with the Sounders Women, whose bid into the pro league was denied by U.S. Soccer.
The allocation process for those top players has not been fully defined yet, according to Predmore.
"The players obviously are going to have a voice in where they play," he said. "We have some great homegrown talent, and there are some players who played last year with the Sounders Women that were tremendous. I hope we'll have a club that is compelling enough that we can attract a few of them to come back and play in Seattle again."
Predmore said he expects a team name and home venue, possibly Starfire Stadium in Tukwila, to be settled before season tickets go on sale in December.
A search for a coach will start immediately.
"We just learned about our selection last week, so we have not had a lot of time to get the wheels in motion," Predmore said.
• Said Sounders FC general manager Adrian Hanauer of the new team in a statement: "We are excited to welcome the new club to the Seattle soccer community. We look forward to building a strong relationship between the clubs."
• Amy Carnell, the former general manager of the Sounders Women, has joined Predmore's team in a leadership position.
• The Sounders Women will remain in the USL W-League for the 2013 season and play at Starfire Stadium.
