Curtains have a way of polishing off any room of the house. Being the incurable magpies that we are, we especially gravitate towards curtains that are embroidered, appliquéd and flocked, as they have a way of injecting levity and energy into your space. In addition to considering the palette, texture and opacity of your curtains (remember: a curtain's truest function is to filter the sun!), be sure to pay mind to your curtain hardware. From colorful glass and ceramic finals to burnished brass and iron rods, today's hardware choices are anything but staid. This season, we take a particular shine to those curtain panels and curtain hardware inspired by nature - think falling leaves, blooming flora and scurrying

Businessweek Uses Obama Surgeon General Nominee To Advance Media Myth Of NRA Electoral Dominance
Blog ››› ››› TIMOTHY JOHNSON
Bloomberg Businessweek senior writer Paul Barrett used reports that several Democratic senators may oppose surgeon general nominee Dr. Vivek Murthy to advance the tired media myth that the National Rifle Association can determine election outcomes at will.
In recent weeks Murthy has been tarred by the NRA and conservative media as "anti-gun" for holding views on firearm policy that are conventional within the medical community.
Amid recent reports that Murthy's nomination could be delayed or withdrawn, Barrett wrote on March 17, "By all indications, the National Rifle Association and allied gun-rights groups have killed the nomination of Dr. Vivek Murthy to be the next surgeon general."
While Barrett acknowledged that "[i]t seems preposterous that Murthy's attitudes toward guns -- views roughly similar to those of the twice-elected president -- may preclude him from federal office," his analysis quickly veered off-track.

CIFOR Prepares for UNFCCC REDD+ Negotiations
May 2014: In order to support REDD+ negotiations under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) has released an assessment of REDD+ non-carbon benefits, and joint mitigation and adaption activities.
The report, included in 'info brief No.71 May 2014,' evaluates literature and submissions to the UNFCCC Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technical Advice (SBSTA) related to the multiple benefits that can be achieved through REDD+, beyond carbon sequestration and storage. The report also examines how REDD+ can contribute to climate change adaptation as well as climate change mitigation measures.
The report identifies a number of issues that Parties may wish to consider in SBSTA negotiations, including: the need to identify joint mitigation and adaptation strategies in the forest sector; the close link between REDD+ safeguards and multiple benefits; the importance of non-carbon benefits to the success of REDD+; the need to determine non-carbon benefits at the national level; and consideration of the relationship indigenous peoples and local communities have with forests.
The report notes, however, that determining non-carbon benefits at the national level rather than at the level of the UNFCCC is contentious. The publication also highlights the lack of information on and experience with joint mitigation – adaptation activities.
CIFOR is a part of the CGIAR consortium. [CIFOR Press Release] [Publication: No.71 May 2014: Synergies Across a REDD+ Landscape – Non-carbon benefits, joint mitigation and adaptation, and an analysis of submissions to the SBSTA]

I set up a little Google Spaces area for my local writer's group. Right now, there aren't a lot of features, but I guess that's making it easier for everyone to learn.
It's really basic. I hope they keep adding features, like Google Docs and Gmail integration, but manage to keep the same simple user interface.
Right now, we create an individual post for each writer. Then we share links and writing feedback directly in the body of the post. The link goes to Google Docs in a separate tab. It's a little confusing at first, but we all figured it out pretty quickly.

Technology Modernization: Adapting to Change
through Systems Advancement
Available on Demand
Duration: 1 hour
Sponsored by Infor
Webcast Summary
Today's enterprises do not have the luxury of relying on outdated processes and systems. The more the pace of business accelerates, the more a company's financial health depends on its ability to quickly and accurately forecast and plan for growth.
Globalization, consumerization, and social technologies have all fundamentally changed the way businesses operate. Smart finance chiefs recognize this shift and are helping their organizations identify and procure technology that allows for better human capital management, time to market, and cost control.
Cloud technologies, in particular, offer myriad benefits. State-of-the-art cloud-based systems bring together the access, control, speed, accuracy, and ability to collaborate that support overarching business growth goals.
During this Webcast, Infor and CFO Research will discuss what technology modernization means and how upgrading your company's systems will:

Bernard Madoff's brother Peter Madoff told a judge he was a victim of the multibillion-dollar fraud and asked to be allowed to attend his granddaughter's bat mitzvah in January before he goes to prison.
Peter Madoff, who worked at Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC for four decades, pleaded guilty in June to helping his brother pull off the biggest Ponzi scheme in history. As part of an agreement with prosecutors, Peter Madoff agreed not to seek less than the maximum 10-year prison term allowed by law and to forfeit his assets up to $143 billion. Today he asked the court to let him attend his granddaughter's bat mitzvah in January before his prison term begins.
"In some respects this case constitutes a personal tragedy for an otherwise decent and compassionate man," Peter Madoff's lawyer, John R. Wing, said in a letter to the sentencing judge, U.S. District Judge Laura Taylor Swain in Manhattan. "Although a clear beneficiary of his older brother's largess, he was also a victim of his brother's Ponzi scheme."
Peter Madoff's guilty plea to two criminal charges came three years to the day after his brother was sentenced to 150 years in prison. During his plea hearing, Peter Madoff told the court he had no knowledge of Bernard Madoff's scheme until Dec. 9, 2008, the night his brother confessed to him that the investment business was a sham. Bernard Madoff was arrested and confessed to authorities two days later, on Dec. 11.
The case is U.S. v. Madoff, 10-cr-228, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

9 September 1995
All over now
The End of the Future by Jean Gimpel (Adamantine Press, £14.95, ISBN 0 744 90118 9) might take you aback, always a salutary experience. Gimpel maintains that Western civilisation is almost at the end of its technological tether and due for decline. He has a great time listing all the predictions made by futurologists that turned out to be wrong – nuclear-powered flight, the murder of books by the information network, commercial supersonic airliners, the conquest of diseases by antibiotics. He reckons that technology has reached a plateau, that not much will advance from now on and that eventually the West will be one with Nineveh and Tyre. He forecasts, as many do, that the future belongs to China. Of course, his glimpse of the future is just as liable to be wrong, but he is enjoyably provocative.

It was a cool night in Indianapolis (which is why Peyton lost because he can't play outside and choker and stuff) when the Denver Broncos came to town.
Two of the AFC's most impressive teams came into the Lucas Oil Stadium, and both emerged, beaten and exhausted.
But only one emerged with a win.
Someway, somehow, the Colts managed to upset the red-hot Broncos just six days after laying an egg on Monday Night Football against the Chargers.
Football is weird like that. So, let's embrace the weirdness! Here's how the Colts beat the Denver Peytons, in all the GIF glory!
The story of the first half was one of runs. Denver scored two quick touchdowns, the Colts scored 23 straight.
The Colts were able to move the ball, but couldn't get into the end zone early in the game. One reason why they couldn't get into the end zone?
Play design. I mean, what in the good name of Walter White is going on here? Reggie Wayne's route on third and goal is to literally just stand around?
But, it wouldn't take long for the floodgates to open.
It all started with the safety, brought to you by the league's sack leader and the oldest player to ever have 11.5 sacks through the first seven weeks of the season, Robert Mathis.
Everyone talked about how Mathis simply couldn't wait to hit Manning in this game.
Even Peyton had to smile a bit.
After the safety, the Colts' offense got rolling, thanks to the efforts of the 2013 Colts MVP: Stanley Havili.
Look at that perfect strip.
It's almost as if Havili was born to play defense. Maybe he should switch positions.
Me: Stanley Havili seems to stand around a lot. @GregCowanCA: Which is what he should be doing 99% of the time. Except on the sideline.
— Kyle J. Rodriguez (@ColtsAuth_Kyle) October 23, 2013
All fun aside, Havili had two huge plays this week. Good work.
After the fumble, we saw one of the most unique play calls I've seen. When Pep Hamilton is on, man is he on.
This play would set up a player later as well.
Watch how Champ Bailey (#24) reacts to both plays. He bites hard on the fake end-around first one, and it's a big reason why Heyward-Bey is able to score.
On the second play, Bailey doesn't react at all to DHB's movement inside. Now, Bailey has different responsibilities on each play, but nevertheless, the fact that Bailey doesn't move at all is interesting.
Now, the Colts were able to stall the Broncos in the second quarter with stellar play from the defense, namely Darius Butler and Vontae Davis.
Butler succeeded with physical play near the line of scrimmage and solid ball skills.
Vontae Davis, on the other hand, simply stayed with his man, generally Demaryius Thomas, on EVERY SINGLE PLAY.
Davis didn't play bump-and-run, but he was up in press man coverage for most of the game. When Manning did target Thomas, it usually ended up in an incompletion. Davis held Thomas to three catches for 15 yards on eight targets.
There are other plays I have GIFs for, for both Butler and Davis.
So what else can we talk about?
Oh, I don't know… how about STANLEY HAVILI scoring more fantasy points than 80% of my roster?
You like running backs catching passes for 20+ yards? Well here is Donald Brown.
Why? Because Donald Brown is the unofficial mascot of Colts Authority, obviously.
More fun things!
The Coby Fleener Helicopter! Or what I like to call, the Coby-Copter!
We'll finish up with this Andrew Luck run for a first down on 3rd and 11. It's a pretty classic Luck scramble… although I could do without the hits at the end.
One more time!

rob mclennan- Interview
What are your thoughts about reading your poetry in Cobourg at the 3rd annual POW! Festival?
I'm excited to read! I like being asked to read, especially for festivals I haven't been able to previously attend. I know nothing about it. My mother's father was born in Cobourg, so it will be interesting simply, if nothing else, to be able to explore the space, to answer at least a fragment of 'where did he come from?' His father came directly from England, but his mother's brother owned the weekly newspaper in Kemptville during the 1930s and 40s, the Weekly Advance. I have yet to learn more about the area, and my family's history regarding such.
Please tell us about your most recently published book and also a little about any other books you've had that "saw print."
My long poem 52 flowers (or, a perth edge) - an essay on Phil Hall - (Obvious Epiphanies Press, 2010), published by Lary Bremner in Japan, came as a response to Phil Hall and his writing. I was intrigued by the lead section of his then-recent poetry collection, An Oak Hunch (London ON: Brick, 2005), which was subtitled "an essay on Purdy." I had wanted to interview Hall, but he said he wasn't comfortable with such, inviting me instead to spend the day with him at their cottage near Perth, Ontario. The poem is pretty much the result of that day. The newest collection, Glengarry (Talonbooks, 2011), is made up of two very long poems and a less-long poem, continuing my ongoing exploration of my home-place, the eastern Ontario space where I grew up, furthering considerations I first brought to light in my second trade poetry collection, bury me deep in the green wood (ECW Press, 1999). The title poem "Glengarry" was originally triggered from rereading Barry McKinnon's Pulp Log (A Poem in 59 Parts) (Prince George BC: Caitlin Press, 1991) and Don McKay's Long Sault (London ON: Applegarth Follies, 1975), two overlooked classics of the Canadian long poem, each a similar consideration of exploring home space (including a slight geographic overlap with McKay's poem). The poem "avalanche" exists more of an accumulation, a sequence of unending and unyielding proportions. Both poems rely heavily on quick movement, sound and ambient rhythms.
I've been trying to figure out my geographic home-space, and my relationship to it; since that ECW title, I've started a number of critical and memoir pieces relating to home as well, but nothing that I've managed to quite finish, yet, although a few selections have appeared online at Open Book Toronto.
At POW! do you plan to read pieces from your book (or books)? Do you plan to read new unpublished work?
Usually when I'm touring a new poetry collection, I tend to focus my reading around such, with a generous selection of unpublished thrown in. This reading, hopefully, will be one of the first for Glengarry, so I expect to focus a good amount of my reading on that.
How would you describe your poetry?
I don't, usually. I try to allow the work to speak for itself.
A person who has never composed a poem is likely to think of that as something of a magical or mysterious process. Is it possible to explain that process of creation?
It's possible to explain some of the mechanics, but there will always be the unknowables, the completely unexplainables. I would rather allow something to be than to tear it apart, simply to explain it. It would feel too much like having to kill the frog to be able to comprehend its workings. Who wants to kill the poem?
Years ago in a poetry workshopping group I was witness to the following exchange: A novice poet breathlessly proclaimed "I don't know how to write formal poetry. All I know is -- my poetry comes from deep inside me -- it shows how I'm feeling at the time -- it comes pouring out of me unexpectedly -- once it starts I couldn't stop it even if I wanted to and when I see what I've produced in front of me I can hardly believe it came out of me but it's colourful and it's something that has never been seen before!" Without a moment's hesitation a woman I had not greatly admired until that very moment said "You know everything you just said also applies to vomit." In my opinion her retort captured something in a simply perfect way. Nonetheless it is true that sometimes a poem just pours out of the poet and when the initial product is viewed the surprising conclusion is "That's it. Amazing. I don't have to re-work that at all. Even if I did I would not make it better." Can you tell us about one of those moments happening for you?
David McGimpsey told me years ago that he doesn't allow certain words into his poetry workshops, including "heart," "soul" and such. Writing is an art, a craft, and feeling by itself doesn't make for any art worth looking at. Writing doesn't care how you feel, and its not about self-expression. Once you get over what you think you "have to say," then you can start getting down to the business of writing, and that's when it starts to get interesting.
However what I describe above is rare. More commonly any piece that a poet initially scratches out needs work. There will be re-writes scrunched up pieces of paper polishing editing moments when the poet recoils in horror at how weak this creation is and sets about strengthening it. Can you tell us about those moments?
Writing is an ongoing process, and writing out pages of notes to later salvage as little as a single workable line to build upon is simply part of that process of composition. Why agonize over it? Slow and steady wins the race, it would seem. Any writing project I manage to complete comes out of extended stretches of tweaks, edits, small changes, switching sections around and sheer patience. One step, and then one more step.
I don't focus on the thirty lines that might not work. I focus on the few that do, and keep going.
It is said that all artists create their art in part for themselves and it is born of a deep inner howl that cannot be denied expression but whether one chooses to admit it or not such creation is also in part for an audience. Do you think our audience influences what we create even if it is only a sub-conscious tailoring we do to make things fit?
Literature is a conversation, and one that exists between writers, and between writing. I am more interested in the requirements of the writing, and how the writing can be improved upon and made more interesting.
Returning to the assertion from years ago by that breathless novice I recounted above would you say it is true that poets should know various set-forms of poetry and have a conscious awareness of poetic device even if they then choose not to follow them or employ them? Is that an archaic ploy to ensure that writing poetry remains an elite activity?
Why is it that literature allows so many to ignore wilfully those who have come before? You need to understand a form before you can fuck with it. Most writers, if they worked the same ideologies in other careers, whether high tech, politics, fashion design or real estate, working so ignorant of everything that came before them and even what was happening at that same moment in their chosen fields would be considered incompetent failures and not succeed.
Writing comes from writing, no question. To create the best writing possible, a writer has to know about as much as possible, as varied as possible, and as much contemporary as possible, and fight like hell to be constantly improving one's own game. Otherwise, it's the equivalent of a tech company introducing a Commodore 64 to the market in 2011. The result: the market would know never to take you seriously again.
The POW! Festival rides along from year to year on the notion that poetry should not be relegated to an existence as "a niche art form" which an average person doesn't care about and never will care about. Some poets think that notion is so idealistic as to be silly. They might be correct. Others agree with us. How do you respond to that?
All art is niche. What's wrong with that? There's a great line in David McGimpsey's essay from side/lines: A New Canadian Poetics (Toronto ON: Insomniac Press, 2002) about how no one ever asks for a people's trigonometry. Writing down to an audience is insulting. If you want to know about an art form, you have to engage with it on its own terms, otherwise it's meaningless.
You wouldn't watch one film in your life and dismiss the entire genre because you don't "get it," don't understand the form and its lengthy history. Audiences have to do work, and many of them do, possibly much more than most writers of poetry are even aware of. I refuse to subscribe to the idea that only poets read poetry; I've seen so much evidence to the contrary. And anything can be sold; why not focus instead on introducing new audiences to what already exists? That's been my focus for years.

Animals offer us a touch of wildness and a connection to our planet as one living whole. As Anatole France said, "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."
Animal Companions
George Schaller 590 Sch
One of the last explorer-naturalists, Schaller has led an amazing life studying wildlife: he's studied tigers in India, snow leopards in Nepal, lions in Africa and pandas in China and that's only a partial listing. This anthology provides a broad look at wildlife and what steps people are taking for conservation.
Mark Moffett 595.7961 Mof
Intrepid international explorer, biologist, and photographer Mark W. Moffett, "the Indiana Jones of entomology," takes us around the globe on a strange and colorful journey in search of the hidden world of ants. In tales from Nigeria, Indonesia, the Amazon, Australia, California, and elsewhere, Moffett recounts his entomological exploits and provides fascinating details on how ants live and how they dominate their ecosystems through strikingly human behaviors, yet at a different scale and a faster tempo.
Temple Grandin 636.0832 Gra
With sympathy and a detailed knowledge of what makes animals tick, Grandin answers for cats, dogs, horses, cows, pigs, and even some species of wildlife the question, "What does an animal need to have a good life?" To evaluate whether zoo animals are happy she asks these questions: is the animal acting normally, taking part in varied activities, does it appear confident, and does it look relaxed while resting.
Jim Cole 599.784 Col
Although it describes in detail two bear maulings, Cole's account is more of a natural history than an I-was-eaten-by-a-wild-animal-and-lived-to-tell-the-tale account. The author ends the book with an impassioned call for conservation of this great species that inhabits only truly wild places.
Vanessa Woods 599.884 Woo
Bonobos share 98.7% of our human DNA. This Australian writer tells of her odyssey from wildlife writer to researcher of what some primate researchers call the sexiest apes. Also included in this memoir is a romance with a primatologist. Woods describes the difficulty of doing research in war-torn Congo.
Pamela Brodowsky 590.723 Bro
Let's face it: the premise of this guide is depressing--1001 animals to see before their species is irrevocably lost, vanished forever from earth. But if you want ideas of where to travel to see some magnificent animals this source lists wildlife parks and sanctuaries where you can see incredible wildlife.
James Prosek 597.43 Pro
OK. I agree it takes a certain kind of person to feel touchy-feely good about an ugly fish who resembles a snake. Prosek traveled to New York, New Zealand, Japan, Europe and Micronesia to discover more about these fascinating creatures. Did you know that eels can walk across land to get where they need to go? Prosek's wonderful line drawings make this book as elegant as any 19th century natural history.
Jane Goodall 591.68 Goo
Although there have been more losses than gains, and many more species will go extinct in this century, naturalist Goodall and her two co-authors celebrate awe-inspiring successes such as reintroducing wallabies and Mongolian horses from captive breeding programs back into the wild. There's also good news in our country for red wolves and California condors. The authors show what successful reintroduction programs have in common.
Lang Elliott 598 El
Why do birds sing? In songbirds only males sing and usually only during the spring and summer breeding season. Most people have been enthralled by the beauty of the "dawn chorus." This book offers many rare photographs of birds in song as well as an audio CD of their varied songs.
Peter Benchley 597.3 Be
Have you read lately too many accounts of shark/ human encounters? Adventurer and author of Jaws offers information here on which sharks are most dangerous. He also tells how to swim safely in the sea. Be reassured, according to the author, the odds of suffering a shark attack are extremely small.
Carl Safina 597.928 Sa
The author calls leatherback turtles "the last warm-blooded monster reptile" thus the title. He explores both scientific and cultural information about turtles from both those researching them and those worshipping them by travelling and reporting from Trinidad, Baja, Costa Rica. the US, and New Guinea.
Thomas French 590.73 Fre
A captivating close-up examination of a zoo community including both animal and human life. Especially interesting is the section on introducing wild elephants for the first time to an American zoo including their flight from Africa on a jet. Other intriguing zoo denizens include Herman the chimp and Enshalla, a tiger that the author calls Queen.

Yesterday, Cheyney University athletic director Eve Atkinson introduced the school's new football coach, Lee Brown, describing him as "dynamic, yet unconventional." Atkinson made it clear that she thought an unconventional coach was needed at the school, which has lost 18 straight games, and hasn't had a winning season since 1979.
Brown agreed with the "unconventional" designation, noting that he hadn't taken the traditional coaching path of graduate assistant to assistant to coordinator to head coach. He spent the last season as a defensive backs coach and head track coach at Mount Senario College, an NAIA school in Ladysmith, Wis. "Halfway to the North Pole," Brown said.

Attendees are encouraged to bring a list of their prescriptions drugs, dosages and preferred pharmacy, as well as any information on pension, VA or other medical care benefits they are receiving.
During the coordinated election period, people on Medicare can select one of several coverage options: 1) Original Medicare for their health coverage needs paired with a stand-alone Part D prescription drug plan and or a Medicare Supplement plan; 2) a Medicare Advantage Plan, which provides comprehensive health benefits including drug coverage; 3) or determine if their existing coverage will meet their health insurance needs for the upcoming year.

During his presentation, Rovira is to make the argument John Updike's Roger's Version redefines the contemporary debate between empirical science and religious faith.
"In the novel, research assistant Dale Kohler commits himself to empirically proving the existence of God, approaching divinity school Professor Roger Lambert for a research grant to do so. Lambert, on the other hand, opposes him and any idea of a quantifiably demonstrable God. Both men believe in God, yet each demeans the other's faith, precisely upon the point of the relationship between each believer's faith and empirical science."

Bush shares blame for soaring deficit
The editorial cartoons of Lisa Benson and Michael Ramirez are redundantly boring and very inaccurate. They continually blame President Obama for the high deficit.
In fact, more than half of the current deficit is a result of bad Bush policies: two unpaid wars, huge tax breaks for the rich, wasting taxpayer money on the pharmaceutical industry and allowing Wall Street to operate out of control. All of these things resulted in a severe recession and huge deficit.
Now, the same people who caused this large deficit want to reduce it by cutting programs that had little to do with causing it. Instead of cutting things that help the less wealthy, why not eliminate tax loopholes, make all major corporations pay taxes, end tax breaks for those who outsource jobs, place a speculation fee on Wall Street and reduce our $700 billion military/defense budget? Once again, Republican spin on reality is a charade.

Bruno Latour commented on behalf of his co-authors (Pablo Jensen, Tommaso Venturini, Sebastian Grauwin and Dominique Bouille): We are very honoured by your award especially because this is the first technical paper in English coming out of the medialab we created five years ago to connect social theory and what is now called 'big data' but that should really be called 'smart data' The medialab had been conceived largely to understand what Gabriel Tarde had in mind when he claimed that he could quantify social connections with better tools than statistics (he was himself the head of criminal statistics at the Ministry of Justice and his data set had been used by Marcel Mauss to feed Durkheim's book on suicide, a book where the said Durkheim was more than happy to 'trash' Tarde's insights...) So, since 2004 I have assembled a multidisciplinary group with a biologist (it happens that bacteria are great for testing Tarde's theory!), cognitive scientists, media students and of course science studies scholars to see how we could 'operationalise' Tarde with the web data newly available. But it is only with the help of two physicists (PabloJensen and Sebastian Grauwin) and the medial lab researchers (Dominique Bouiller in media stdies and Tommaso Venturini in mapping controversies) that we have been able to see how the obscure notion of 'monads' could be made more amenable to empirical analysis. To be complete I should add the technical director of the medialab, Paul Girard, whose role was essential in helping us through the long process. There is of course a long way to go! Once again, we are very proud and thank you very much for such an honour. Tarde vindicated by the Britts a century later, that's really great!

Staff Reporter
Bangladesh Bank has given 11instructions to the Basic Bank to help it recovery from the collapse caused by irregularities unearthed by the central bank.
The state-owned Basic Bank suffered a jolt as central bank investigation found that about Tk,500 crore was misappropriated through corruption and unfair practices in lending, mainly through its three branches at Motijheel, Gulshan, Dilkusha and Shantinagar.
According to sources at the Bangladesh Bank, the main aspects of 11-point instructions include taking measures reducing its non-performing loan (NPL), strictly maintaining the central bank's guideline in issuing any new loans, taking steps for realizing default loans and reducing its unnecessary expenditures.
Without giving any detail, a top official of the Bangladesh Bank informed that these instructions were given to the Basic Bank management after removal of its managing director and appointment of the new chairman.
"The central bank has asked the Basic Bank management and also the board of the bank to submit its progress report every three months regarding the implementation of the instructions," said the official.
The Bangladesh Bank on May 25 removed the Basic Bank's managing director Kazi Faqurul Islam on charges of irregularities and corruption. The bank's another official Fazlus Sobhan was made acting managing director.
Subsequently, Basic Bank's chairman Sheikh Abdul Hye Bachchu resigned from the Bank and the government appointed Alauddin A Majid as new chairman and also restructured the board of the bank through removing some of its directors.
The new chairman of the bank and its acting chairman last week met with the Bangladesh Bank governor Dr. Atiur Rahman.
The central bank governor asked the new chairman and acting managing director of the Basic Bank to restore discipline in the bank.
Emphasising on restoring discipline in the banking business, the governor said regaining the confidence of its clients has been the top priority of the bank.
A Finance Ministry report submitted to the parliamentary standing committee on the ministry showed that deposit at Basic Bank has declined by Tk 997.56 crore in the first six months of this year after Bangladesh Bank had detected he irregularities at the bank.

I think it's painfully obvious the choices are between Vick and Brady, but because a lot of Vick's value is derived from his legs, even though Brady leads the league in DVOA and DYAR, that's an unfair measurement but those stats don't include what Vick does on the ground.
I don't mean to be a jerk but I don't care about what your personal preference is because I think a great great great argument can be made for both guys and (even as a Pats fan) I'm torn on who truly deserves it.
But what I am curious about is who FO thinks deserves it. I'm sure they've posted their opinion somewhere but sadly I can not find where. I'm curious to how they reconcile Brady's great passing stats versus Vick's above average passing stats plus what he does while running the ball.
2 replies , Last at 11 Jan 2011, 10:42pm by dkdc
QB rushing gets a separate DVOA/DYAR section below the passing stats. The extra DYAR is almost always quite small compared to the passing value. Even for Vick adding is 200 or so rushing DYAR would only make him about 7th on the QB DYAR list.
The fact is Vick doesn't belong in the MVP discussion. He's there because of a compelling story, a fair amount of hype, the fact that he's very exciting to watch, and because he "turned around" a team that looked to be struggling initially under Kolb (even though that start was against a GB defense that is currently #1 against the pass, after suffering a lot of injuries that were not a factor in the opener).
Brady is quite clearly the MVP this year based solely on performance. Rivers deserves to be in the discussion with the great numbers he's put up despite the injuries and holdouts at WR and TE, even more so than Peyton. Rodgers deserves a bit of consideration, especially looking at DYAR and factoring in running stats and his own injuries to offensive teammates, but I don't think any of these factors is enough to keep Brady from winning the award.
1) Falcons QB Ryan
2) Packers QB Rodgers
3) Patriots QB Brady
Not sure I agree, but they seem pretty thoughtful

The Vienna State Opera is arguably the most prestigious opera house in the world. It is certainly one of the busiest, with an average of only ten days when the theater is dark during the opera season (roughly September through June).
The world's greatest opera stars perform at the State Opera house. During the Vienna Festival, the opera house schedules many of its best productions and therefore attracts the best-known singers at this time. The dates of UTB's Study Abroad in Vienna program are carefully chosen to coincide with the Festival, so as to provide UTB students ample opportunity to hear these great artists.
Two other opera venues also provide high quality productions during the Festival as well as all year round. The Volksoper is Vienna's home to operettas, light operas and musical theatre productions. In addition, the Theatre an der Wien is the setting for less grandiose but still high-quality productions of traditional and avant-garde operas. This theater is historically significant in that it is the theater built by Emanuel Schickaneder (Mozart's producer and librettist for The Magic Flute) with the money he made from The Magic Flute.

Tandem sells epic to Japan, S. Korea, S.E. Asia
BERLIN — After taking Europe by storm, "Pillars of the Earth" is heading for Asian TV.
Munich-based Tandem Communications has sold the miniseries adaptation of Ken Follett's bestseller to broadcasters in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.
Produced by Tandem, Scott Free Films and Muse Ent., "Pillars of the Earth" was a solid hit in Europe and its producers are hoping to see similar success in Asia.
In Japan, "Pillars" will air on leading pubcaster NHK in February. NHK senior producer Yukihiro Shibata said the Follett novel was very popular in Japan, adding: "The television series perfectly re-enacts the perspective of Mr. Follett's world and we definitely believe that our viewers will enjoy the show."
Pubcaster KBS picked up the series in South Korea and Star Movies/Fox will air "Pillars" in Southeast Asian territories, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines.
Scott Free and Tandem are re-teaming on the "Pillars" sequel, "World Without End," with Toronto-based Take 5 Prods. The planned mini has already pre-sold across Europe.

CLEVELAND - The watchful eye of coach Mike Pettine is always focused on the staff of Browns assistants.
Not the Browns head coach, but his father Mike Sr. The elder Pettine was a high school coaching legend in the Philadelphia area, where Mike Jr. got his coaching start at Central Bucks West High School.
The assistant who's probably on the receiving end of most of Pettine Sr.'s advice-giving is defensive coordinator Jim O'Neil. O'Neil and linebackers coach Chuck Driesbach played for Pettine Sr.
"Two or three a day," O'Neil said of the number of emails he receives from Pettine Sr. "It's good. It's a great resource for us to have. It's a competitive advantage because he's not scared to speak his mind. He sees it sometimes from a different perspective because he's not with us every day. Ninety percent of his emails are right on and you listen to them. The other 10 percent go in one ear and out the other ear because of how he says it."
Pettine Sr. spent time with the team during training camp. Father and son won't see each other as much now because of the start of the regular season, but modern technology has kept Pettine Sr. on top of everything that's happening.
"The iPad is the worst thing ever invented because he's watching the game before you're even home," O'Neil said. "You'll get an email Sunday night about what you should have done. It's actually grown to the whole defensive staff getting them now. The worst thing you can do is respond."
BACK TO NORMAL: Special teams coach Chris Tabor is glad the extra-point experiment used by the NFL early in preseason has been shelved. The experimental rule called for the ball to be placed at the 15 for extra-point kicks.
Tabor hated the idea of making the rule permanent because of the complications associated with kicking in First Energy Stadium, where winds blowing off Lake Erie can be treacherous.
Asked if he's changed his feeling about the experimental rule, Tabor said, "Not one bit at all. We're not kicking in a dome. We're kicking off a Lake. It's different than kicking anywhere else. To move it back doesn't make sense to me."
CAN'T HAVE ENOUGH: Tabor was pleased to see 12 defensive backs make the 53-man roster. It gives him more choices to make when he hands Pettine a list of players he wants for special teams when the 46-player, game-day roster is assembled.
"I will always take good athletes," Tabor said. "Obviously, being defensive players they're able to tackle."
NOT A WORRY: Pettine isn't upset that the Steelers will play two running backs - Le'Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount - who were recently arrested for possession of marijuana, while Browns receiver Josh Gordon was suspended the entire season for marijuana possession. It was Gordon's third violation of the NFL's drug policy.
"I know there's a thing called due process, and I know the league has a system for how they handle it," Pettine said. "I'm assuming there's something that occurred there and that they will be punished at some point."
PROUD PAPA: Quarterback Connor Shaw was excused from practice to be with his wife Molly on the birth of a daughter.
INJURY REPORT: The Browns could be short on depth along the defensive line. Desmond Bryant (wrist) hasn't practiced and is doubtful. John Hughes (hamstring) has also missed practice time. Bryant is the listed starter at right end. He'll be replaced by second-year lineman Armonty Bryant.

I was taught to knit by my mother in my teens in the '70's and I quickly went from that to cross stitch and then needlepoint.
Life goes on to a full time job, marriage, a child and then in early in 2004, I was forced to stay off my feet. I pick up the needles and started with knitting a scarf and then another, and then another! Next thing I know, I have 50 of them!
Off to a local art gallery I go to peddle my wares! They loved and sold them all! Creative Design was born! Three upscale children's boutiques and women's wear shops later, here I am! Fingers flyin' with an Etsy shop sheilalikestoknit and lovin' Craftsy!
I can most often be found in "my chair" surrounded by a pile of yarn, fabric, more yarn, needles, another pile of yarn, patterns, more fabric...etc! We love to travel, eat good food, be with family and great friends!
Knitwear: my handmade knitwear is lovingly created by me! The process of choosing great fabric and yarn colors is half the fun! Knitting it all up and seeing it come together is wonderful and the final moment of seeing this creation around someones neck, on a little body, noggin or in their stroller is the BEST! I have been lucky enough to receive wonderful photos and I keep them ALL!
My Philosophy: I am committed to quality fabric and fiber. Attention to detail, craftsmanship and customer satisfaction will always be part of that philosophy.
This is an easy, advanced beginner pattern. Great project for car trips as it is a two row repeat. Easily make it larger or smaller. Would look gorgeous in a long run yarn!
Beautiful Madeline Tosh in Catherdral makes a nice size using 3 skeins. If you are a "one skein stasher" a scarflette would make a nice neck warmer. You can also use larger needles and just 2 skeins.
I purchased my Madeline Tosh in the Craftsy Yarn Shop. If they do not have that color, you can certainly choose a substitute or any DK weight yarn.
A cotton weight with larger needles would be great for the warmer months and give a breezy, open weave effect.

Problems keep mounting
August 8, 2012 - Mike McLain
CLEVELAND -- Issues off the field continue to plague the Browns before their first preseason game.
According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, running back Trent Richardson will have a minor surgical procedure Thursday on his left knee. Richardson didn't practice Tuesday after encountering sorenesss. He had microscopic surgery on the same knee in February to repair a torn meniscus.
In addition, ESPN Cleveland reported that cornerback Joe Haden tested positive for the drug Adderall and could be suspended four weeks in compliance with the NFL's substance-abuse policy. The Browns haven't confirmed the report.
Adderall is a drug that is given to persons suffering from attention deficit disorder (ADD).
Mortensen reported that Richardson will have a hang-nail particle removed. A team official told Mortensen that Richardson could have continued playing through the soreness but team officials want to be proactive and take care of the problem as soon as possible.
The surgery will be performed in Pensacola, Fla., by noted surgeon Dr. James Andrews. The recovery period is usually at least two weeks, which means Richardson could return for the final two preseason games. It's possible he will be held out of action until the start of the regular season.
