Beginning with the period ended December 31, 2013, the U.S. Department of the Treasury expanded the scope of the financial institutions required to report cross-border claims, liabilities and short-term securities holdings on Treasury International Capital (TIC) B Forms to include (i) a U.S. investment manager (on behalf of itself and any U.S. or non-U.S. funds that it manages) and (ii) U.S. resident funds managed by a non-U.S. resident investment manager, in each case if the reporting person is owed "reportable claims" or owes "reportable liabilities" in excess of certain monetary thresholds, as discussed below.
The TIC B Forms require reporting of current obligations (including loans, regardless of their maturity) and short term securities:
that are owed by a U.S. resident entity to a non-U.S. resident, or by a non-U.S. resident entity to a U.S. resident,
that are not held by a U.S. custodian or sub-custodian, and
that are in excess of the relevant reporting thresholds (determined on an aggregated basis for the top-tier U.S. entity in an affiliated group, and separately for the funds that they manage).
TIC B Forms consist of a series of monthly and quarterly forms. Monthly TIC B filings are due no later than 15 days following the end of a month, with the first monthly filing due on January 15 with respect to the reporting period ending December 31, 2013, and the quarterly TIC B Filings are due no later than 20 days following the end of a quarter, with the first quarterly filing due on January 20 with respect to the reporting period ending December 31, 2013. Any financial institutions with "reportable claims" or "reportable liabilities" (as described below) exceeding the monetary thresholds and required to file for a reporting period are also required to file for all subsequent reporting periods in that year (regardless of whether the thresholds are exceeded in the subsequent periods).
"Reportable claims" generally include all claims not held by a U.S. resident custodian or sub-custodian, including deposit balances due from banks, negotiable certificates of deposit of any maturity, brokerage balances, customer overdrawn accounts, loans and loan participations, resale agreements and similar financing agreements, short-term (original maturity of one year or less) negotiable and non-negotiable securities, money-market instruments, reinsurance recoverables and accrued interest receivables. "Reportable claims" do not include long-term securities (including equities and any long-term notes, bonds and debentures), derivatives, credit commitments, contingent liabilities, and securities borrowing agreements in which one security is borrowed in return for another. For purposes of the TIC B Forms, a feeder fund's investment into a master fund is considered a non-reportable long-term security and is not a reportable claim.
"Reportable liabilities" generally include all liabilities not held by a U.S. resident custodian or sub-custodian, including non-negotiable deposits of any maturity, brokerage balances, overdrawn deposit accounts, loans of any maturity, short-term (original maturity of one year or less) non-negotiable securities, repurchase agreements and similar financing agreements, insurance technical reserves and accrued interest payables. "Reportable liabilities" do not include long-term securities (including equities and any long-term notes, bonds and debentures), derivatives, contingent liabilities, and securities lending agreements in which one security is lent in return for another. For purposes of the TIC B Forms, a feeder fund's investment into a master fund is considered a non-reportable long-term security and is not a reportable liability.
Representatives of the government agencies responsible for the TIC B Forms have indicated that any claims or liabilities held by a U.S. resident custodian or sub-custodian (such as a bank) or otherwise reportable by another U.S. financial institution should not be reported by investment managers or funds or used to calculate whether the threshold limits have been exceeded.
A U.S. resident investment manager should generally file consolidated reports on behalf of the funds it manages, including reportable claims and liabilities of non-U.S. resident funds. Non-U.S. investment managers do not have a reporting obligation, but any U.S. resident fund they manage may be required to make a TIC B filing.
The following chart briefly outlines the due dates and monetary thresholds for each of the TIC B Forms:
Name of Form
Due Date
Form BC – Report of U.S. Dollar Claims of Financial Institutions on Foreign Residents
Monthly - Due no later than the 15th day of each month
$50 million total ($25 million in any one foreign country)
Form BL-1 - Report of U.S. Dollar Liabilities of Financial Institutions to Foreign Residents
Form BL-2 - Report of Customers' U.S. Dollar Liabilities to Foreign Residents
Form BQ-1 - Report of Customers' U.S. Dollar Claims on Foreign Residents

TUSCALOOSA – USA – Taking a stop from the busy campaign trail, Republican presidential hopeful, Jeb Bush visited a rope museum to wile away the hours before the next leg of the gruelling itinerary.
"Look at this rope it's made from er..rope, strands go across each other and not only that you can tie it up into a knot," Jeb Bush excitedly jabbed at a piece of rope.
"This rope here is quite old rope, it looks about a hundred or so years old."
"Synthetic rope now let me guess made in 2004."
"Shredded rope with some burn marks on it, I wonder what happened here, this is fascinating."
"Ah, and my favourite, a rope fashioned into a noose. Can I try it on? Feels great, I think I'll step on this bucket, wow I can see you all down there, now for the jump!"

An early Three Sisters theory... | [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ] | |||
Pioneer geologist ET Hodge suggested in 1925 that these stratovolcanoes were actually the remnants of a single collapsed volcano, a theory since disproved (Fire Mountains of the West. 1988 Mountain Press Publishing Company). His thought was that the broad arc of peaks encompassing Broken Top through Devil's Hill, the Wife, Husband, and little Brother formed the outline of an ancient Caldera rim for the mega-volcano he dubbed Mt Multnomah.

Crazy Celebrity Kid's Names
Celebrities are known for being a little eccentric now and again and no doubt they want their kids to be stars in the making and some celebs have put their kids in the limelight straight off the bat by naming them something weird and wonderful. Here are some of the craziest children's names in showbusiness.
Pilot Inspektor
We kid you not. Ever seen My Name is Earl? Pretty funny TV show. Shame that Jason Lee, who plays Earl, decided to give his son such a bizarre name because I doubt he'll be laughing in few years time!
For you non comic book fans out there Kal-El is Superman's real name and it's what Nicholas Cage chose to call his son. In fact he loves Marvel comics so much that he even changed his own last name to Cage in honour of character Luke Cage. What are the odds that he'll grow up hating Marvel comics?
Little Apple Martin (daughter of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and actress Gwyneth Paltrow) may well be the apple of her parents eye, but there's no need to name your child after a fruit. Original it may be, but it just sounds silly. They followed up this ingenious name with Moses Bruce Anthony for their son.
Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa /Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily/Fifi Trixibell/ Little Pixie
Such a dazzling array of names to include in one family. Yes the offspring of Paula Yates and Bob Geldof/Michael Hutchence all sport rather bizarre fairy related names. An interest in the otherworld is one thing, to inflict it on your kids is quite another. Poor Peaches – bet she has trouble filling in forms.
Rumer Glenn, Tallulah Belle and Scout LaRue
Bruce Willis and Demi Moore named their three daughters Rumer Glenn, Tallulah Belle and Scout LaRue – certainly not the most bizarre on this list but definitely a little out there.
Ok, so Sin City director Robert Rodriguez has a thing about names beginning with the letter 'R' and also for names that sound speedy. At least they won't feel out of place at home.
Harlow Winter Kate/Sparrow James Midnight
Harlow might be a little unusual but it's actually a pretty name, not sure about the 'Winter' addition though. There are no excuses for calling your child Sparrow however, no matter how much you love Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Bronx Mowgli
Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz and pop star Ashlee Simpson certainly went all out naming their first child. Surely there are better places to name your child after than the notorious Bronx? And while we love the Jungle Book, not sure that Mowgli, which means 'little naked frog', is a great middle name either.
Clearly wanting to state the obvious David Duchovny and Tea Leoni called their son Kyd. Great! But what happens when he grows up? Bet that'll get irritating when he hits double digits.
Zuma Nesta Rock/Kingston James
Gwen Stefani is fantastic in so many senses – she's a great singer and a style icon renowned for her love of gold jewellery. Unfortunately, when it comes to naming her and Gavin Rossdale's children she seems to have a bit of a blind spot. Kingston James? It's unique but not too bad. But Zuma Nesta Rock? What a mouthful.
Tu Morrow
Numb3rs actor Rob Morrow is a cruel, cruel man. Clearly he must be because he cannot of thought of the implications in naming his daughter Tu. Yes, as in Tu Morrow.
Poppy Honey/Daisy Boo/Petal Blossom Rainbow
Do you think that Jamie and Jules Oliver have a penchant for all things floral? Nothing wrong with a flower based name for a little girl at all but they all sound sickly sweet. Including the words 'boo' or 'rainbow' in your children's names is definitely a no go.
Sage Moonblood
Sounding a bit like a character from a sci-fi film, Sage Moonblood is the son of Sylvester Stallone. Perhaps Sly was hoping he would grow up to be really wise and erm… friends with werewolves?
Audio Science
I don't actually know who Shannyn Sossamon is other than she's some kind of American actress but she takes top crazy name marks for naming her child Audio Science. It sounds like something you can study, in fact I wouldn't be surprised at all to find an Audio Science course on offer at our local University.
Jermajesty Jackson
Not wanting his son to be overshadowed by his famous family Jermaine Jackson clearly thought that his son needed a ridiculous name to help him stand out and so he called him Jermajesty. This is top of our list for worse named child and it's more than a little egotistical too.

That's so scary! I'm glad that your little dog wasn't hurt or killed and I hope that you heal very quickly! My Mom and I were out walking recently and a poodle came running toward us from someone's yard. It skidded to a stop a few feet from the road where we were walking so I guess the owner has an invisible doggie fence, but I could tell just from the behavior of the dog that it would have bitten us if it could have reached us. He was snarling and viscious and when I saw him running our way, I was ready to kick him in the face as hard as I could. My Mom was closest to him and he would have gotten her for sure so I was ready to draw blood, kick out teeth, whatever to protect her!
That looks like a very painful bite and I myself would be so shaken. Don't let this deter you and I'm glad your dog and you eventually will be ok. I agree with the pepper spray.

Curious question.......have they offered to pay any bills or are they waiting to see how serious this gets??........IE: court action.
Good point McD........had never thought of that but very good point.
I am a multiple pet owner but summer is a scary time to be walking just due to a few owners that ruin it for the rest.........we have a couple of dogs around here that are "sometimes" allowed to roam 'sort of free'.........IE: if the owner is in the UNFENCED yard the dog will be there with him...........and large dogs too.....not that small dogs can't have a vicious bite.04-15-2012, 04:42 PM #3904-15-2012, 11:39 PM #40My God. Two words if it was me.... Civil Suit.Make sure your physician follows up with care. This is just unreal and totally inexcusable. I'm sorry this happened to you.
Oh my gosh, how adorable is Cinnamon? Soooo cute! The kitty is sweet too. I also have a black and white kitty.
Keep track of everything going on in regards to this. Take a lot of pictures, write down how it feels etc. Do not assume that the owners will handle this easily, protect yourself. The owners may have been sorry at first but that can change you never know. And give Cinnamon a hug and kiss from me he is cute.04-16-2012, 11:16 AM #43Wow, I'm sorry this happened to you and I'm glad that your dog is fine and that you were not more seriously injured. It sounds as though the owners of the dog are at least aware and remorseful that their dog jumped the fence and hurt you, it could have been someone who totally could have cared less. Hopefully they will make contact either directly or through whatever town agency applies and offer to pay your medical bills. Please do not let this deter you from getting out though.
04-16-2012, 01:22 PM #44Bless your heart. I'm sorry that happen to you. Hugs TC
04-17-2012, 08:53 AM #45That looks like my bite when I got between my cat and a very large collie, I also want to mention the infection angle, I had a three spot bite like yours and one of the punctures got very infected. Watch for any signs that it is worse and not better and get back for antibiotics (if you don't already have them) if you are on them (which I would think the hospital would have done, but you never know) you may need an additional one or a different one. I was attacked a year and a half ago, it took a long time to heal. Take care of yourself and I hope the owners take batter care to secure their animals...

Wettability studies of liquids inside nanometre scale channels commenced shortly after the discovery of carbon nanotubes in the early 1990s. Since then the field has progressively expanded to other kinds of nanotubes and nanochannels as they have become available. This paper offers a critical review of wettability studies inside and outside nanotubes and nanochannels published in the last three years (2008-2010). The review focuses in particular on three areas, the wetting behaviour of water and aqueous fluids inside nanotubes, the wetting of polymers inside and outside nanotubes and the wetting of nanotube arrays or forests. The authors believe that there is scope for further growth of this research area as there are a number of interesting topics that deserve further investigation.

Critical zero-day flaws in Microsoft Service Message Block (SMB) and zero-day vulnerabilities in Microsoft Internet Information Services Web server will be addressed by the software maker next week as part of its regularly scheduled release of updates across its product line.
Microsoft said the updates repairing the longstanding vulnerabilities would be among 13 bulletins released Tuesday. Eight Microsoft security bulletins are labeled critical and five important, according to the Microsoft Advance Notification issued Thursday.
"Usually we do not go into this level of detail in the advance notification but we felt that it is important guidance so customers can plan accordingly and deploy these updates as soon as possible," said Jerry Bryant Microsoft security program manager of Microsoft's decision to identify two of the advisories being addressed next week.
Microsoft issued an advisory early last month acknowledging that exploit code surfaced targeting SMB zero-day vulnerabilities. The SMB is used in Windows to communicate messages to devices on the network such as file sharing and communicating with printers. The exploit code targets SMV version 2 and was added to the Metasploit testing platform, initially enabling an attacker to remotely crash a computer. Updated code enables an attacker to distribute malware on Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and 2 as well as Windows 2008 SP1 server. A one-click "fix-it" workaround was made available temporarily disabling the SMB until a patch is released.
A bulletin will also be released addressing a second Microsoft serious vulnerabilities in Microsoft IIS and the availability of exploit code circulating that could enable an attacker to exploit the flaw. According to an advisory issued Sept. 1, the flaws affect Microsoft IIS version 5.0, 5.1 and 6.0, leaving the Web server vulnerable to an FTP attack.
In all, the bulletins address 34 vulnerabilities, affecting Windows, Internet Explorer, Office, Silverlight, Forefront, Developer Tools, and SQL Server. Microsoft said most of the updates will require a restart.

Enlargement is widely hailed as the EU's most successful foreign policy tool. Over the past four decades, the European Community (which became the European Union in 1993) managed to transform itself from a club of six Western European democracies to the world's largest economy, encompassing 28 countries and half a billion people. The recent financial crisis, however, has given rise to doubts about the viability and the attractiveness of the EU model. In this context of soft power crisis, the EU has a policy problem, that, according to Günter Verheugen, 'the enlargement process now lacks any strategic orientation'. Enlargement faces daunting challenges both internally and with respect to its neighbours. If the EU hopes to revive its most successful foreign policy tool, it must reconsider why it has been successful in the past and integrate these lessons to develop a new strategy.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Cichlids
- - Cichlids in a 29 gallon tank?
Cichlids in a 29 gallon tank? Hello everyone. I would really like to do a cichlid tank in my 29 gallon, is it too small? I like Lupingo Labidochromis and Labidochromis Electric, and maybe Eduardi. I really am completely new to cichlids so all info would be appreciated. Would 2 of the blue and 2 of the yellow be overstocking a 29 gallon tank? Also as for decor, is driftwood enough "hiding places" or are these type of cichlids non-aggressive? Thanks! |
Ideal Size for 5 Apistogramma :-) Full grown African Cichlids wont live peacefully together. If you are getting the 2 inch juveniles, then most 10. If you want Bigger ones, then just a breeding pair will fit in there. TM |
Thanks for the help! |
Need some input..... khlhlhl |
29 gallons sounds pretty good. I think you could probably fit around 15 cichlids in there. With cichlids, its usually better to overstock as they are aggressive fish and they like their territories, the more fish in there, the better as when two starts fighting, another one joins in and they sorta get distracted, the aggression is spread out more. Another thing you should know about cichilds is that they like hard alkaline water and they like to dig. I would suggest no plants in the tank as they will uproot them. The substrate should not be sharp as they like to dig through it and sharp substrate will cut their mouths. I suggest using coral sand and make it fairly deep. Put in LOTS of rocks so that they can have little crevices and hiding spots and caves and each of them will make some parts their territory. Try using rocks that will raise the pH. Driftwood usually lowers the pH and itll kinda spoil the nice rocky look. However, if there is enough rocks, they should counteract the driftwoods pH lowering effect. Most well setup cichlids tanks will be very rocky and will usually look very white and may even appear to be a marine tank to those new to cichlids. The advantages of cichlids are mainly that they are very hardy fish and very colourful too. I would suggest getting a good filter for them too and getting another pump to circulate the water as they like that. Hope you listen to my advice, but don't take it as the gospel truth, consult your LFS for advice on setting up the tank as well. |
I currently have a 30 gallon set up for cichlids. This is my very first cichlid tank and therefore I was looking for a variety of color in the tank. What I ended up doing is getting a species of cichlid that was diocromatic so that I could have multiple colors but not have to work about to much conflict. i ended up going with the Kenyi Cichlid, they only grow to about 5-6 inches when fully grown and the females are blue or purple with stripes where the males are bright yellow. They also aren't to hard to breed if you have the proper water conditions as well as at least a 3:1 ratio of female to male. |

Ctenophore population recruits entirely through larval reproduction in the central Baltic Sea
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2012
Featured as research highlight in Nature. The comb jelly Mertensia ovum, widely distributed in Arctic regions, has recently been discovered in the northern Baltic Sea. We show that M. ovum also exists in the central Baltic but that the population consists solely of small-sized larvae (less than 1.6 mm). Despite the absence of adults, eggs were abundant. Experiments revealed that the larvae were reproductively active. Egg production and anticipated mortality rates suggest a self-sustaining population. This is the first account of a ctenophore population entirely recruiting through larval reproduction (paedogenesis). We hypothesize that early reproduction is favoured over growth to compensate for high predation pressure

The municipal building in my workplace is under construction. I am amazed at the fast pace of construction every day. The fast pacing maybe attributed to the close supervision of the local chief executive because the new building being constructed is right under his nose, beside his current office. In my office I was planning to have a Carpet replacement but it seems that I will not push through with it because soon we will be transferring into our new room when the new building is finished. Replacing the carpet will only be a waste of money. I have to contend with the old looks of it now until such time when we are finally relocated.

Metric thread specifications are provided in a format that differs significantly from that used by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for standard thread specifications. M3 metric machine screws are commonly used in computers and other applications. M3 machine screws used in computer cases commonly receive the designation "fine thread," which is a misnomer -- truly "fine thread" 3mm fasteners are quite rare.
Other People Are Reading
Thread Specification Basics
M3 fine thread machine screws come with multiple specifications: nominal size, tap drill size, thread pitch and thread height. The tap drill size is that of the bit used to drill a hole for the fastener prior to cutting the thread in that hole. Thread pitch is the angle between one surface of a single thread and the other surface, measured in degrees from the very ridge of the thread. Thread height is the distance between the very bottom (root) of the thread and the very top (crest).
Nominal Diameter
Nominal diameter is the diameter for which a fastener is named. The metric system for naming fasteners is very straightforward -- an M3 fastener has a nominal diameter is 3mm. The tap drill size for an M3 fastener is 2.5mm for a coarse thread and 2.6mm for a fine thread.
Thread Pitch
ANSI threads are specified in threads per inch, but metric threads are specified by the distance in millimetres between each thread. The type of 3mm metric thread commonly designated "fine" and often used in computer cases and similar applications is actually a metric "coarse" thread. The metric coarse thread for M3 fasteners is 0.5mm (1/2 mm between each thread). The metric fine thread for M3 fasteners is 0.35mm. Thus, a M3 fine thread would receive the designation "M3x0.35."
Thread Diameter and Other Specifications
In an "M3x0.35" screw, the pitch diameter is 2.773; the minor diameter of the internal thread is 2.621mm; the minor diameter of the external thread is 2.571mm; the thread height is 0.215mm; the thread overlap is 0.189mm; the angle of the thread is 60 degrees; and the root radius is 0.051mm.

The Bubble! For DOCKTOBERFEST at The Dock Inn. Time 9pm.
It's the second night of DOCKTOBERFEST so let's party on with The Bubble!
Consisting of Eric on guitar and vocals, Mike on drums and vocals and Rick on bass and vocals, The Bubble displays an impressive level of musicianship in its handling of numbers such as The Jam's 'Down in the Tube Station at Midnight' and Squeeze's 'Up the Junction' and their treatment of Plastic Bertrand's punk hit 'Ca Plane Pour Moi' gains added cachet for being stylishly and expertly performed by their French member Eric.
'The Bubble's gigs are invariably lively, joyous occasions. Whatever the venue, the band generates a Feel-good vibe and electric atmosphere which entices you on to the dance floor and encourages you to join the guys in the chorus.
In short, the band combines exceptional talent with a great sense of fun - they are not averse to appearing in matching wigs or fancy dress - and cannot be bettered for a terrific night out.

Squirrel in My Attic
I have a squirrel in my attic. I did some online searching to find a humane way of getting rid of it. I did find this product and I did spray it around some. The squirrel didn't come around after I sprayed the house. And OMG does this stuff stink.
[url]http://www.predatorpee.com/[/url] But lots of times I forgot to spray it around. I need to repair the hole where they are going in. But with my health issues it isn't easy for me to climb a ladder anymore. And my so called family are useless for helping me with anything. I have to get my roof re-shingled soon and I am hoping that scares them out of there then maybe I can get a neighbour to help me out. I bought some silver face plates to use on electrical boxes to screw into place after I spray paint them white to match the colour of the soffit. And no way they can chew that to get back in. They chewed the hole right beside the stack. Here is a pic of the hole. [url]http://s623.photobucket.com/albums/tt314/MsMe_album/?action=view¤t=holex.jpg[/url] |

PRZOOM - /newswire/ - Moscow, Russia, 2013/12/06 - Employee engagement a strategic success factor - SAS.com.
High levels of engagement, from rank-and-file employees all the way up to senior management, naturally result when you combine excellent working conditions, trust in management, an impeccable reputation in the market, and good prospects for career growth and learning. These and other factors helped SAS Russia/CIS achieve a No. 3 ranking on the list of "Best Employers IN Russia" 2013. The results were announced at a special ceremony at the Ararat Park Hyatt Moscow in November. The rankings were based on a "Best Employers Study" conducted by Axes Management in association with Aon Hewitt from February to September 2013. The study included more than 73 companies and 197,329 employees, of whom 31,388 were managers and 723 top managers. "Because business Intelligence is an intellectual sphere of activity that requires high competence and extensive experience, our employees are the company's main asset, its wealth," says Valery Pankratov, CEO of SAS Russia/CIS. "We consider employee engagement as a strategic success factor for the company, alongside financial performance and stability. Why? Because analytics is the fastest growing segment of the software market." According to IDC, the world market for analytical solutions in 2012 grew by 8.7 percent, while the software market as a whole grew only 3.7 percent. This trend is expected to continue until 2017. "In Russia, we see a real increase in demand for analytics, not only in the financial and telecom sectors, but in many others, especially among public companies," said Pankratov. "To ensure growth, we need a smooth and stable team of professionals working for common goals, sharing the mission and strategy of the company, and able to apply more than 37 years of SAS' accumulated expertise in performing a variety of projects in the largest companies in the world." SAS is among the best known global companies in Russia that have achieved record levels of employee engagement, said Edward Stanoh, Director for Eastern Europe Aon Hewitt, who presented the award to SAS Russia/CIS. "In today's business environment, the ability to collect and analyze data has become essential to organizations in any industry," he said. "That SAS offers solutions in this area is just awesome! I am sure that SAS employees achieve such success thanks to working conditions and a creative atmosphere established by the company's management." SAS Russia/CIS Director of Personnel Julia Sanina shared the secrets of success when she accepted the award. "Our HR strategy aims to achieve major business objectives in terms of its rapid growth," she explained. "We faced many challenges: the office's reorganization, a change of leadership, and growth of more than 100 percent that continues today." Sanina attributes the high ranking to a number of efforts during the past few years: Implementation of a variety of programs aimed at increasing both employee engagement and satisfaction. Strengthening of internal communications, informing employees about news, goals and objectives of the company. Regular progress reports from leaders to all staff and to management. A transparent system of career development. Modification of the staff bonus system to focus on results and measurability. "Employees appreciate that we strictly observe their preferences," Sanina said. "We offer health insurance for employees and their families, free breakfasts and children's programs, outreach activities, sports training and fitness, and much more." The main advantage of SAS, said Sanina, is a corporate culture aimed at the person. The office encourages initiative and creativity, without restricting the scope of employees' organizational structure. "If people find an opportunity to express themselves in any new field for us, we are ready to find a way to incorporate it into the overall company -- both in terms of working with customers and new product development." The corporate culture, she added, is not aimed at "imposing a single right model of behavior, but rather at enabling a person to be himself. "Based on the strengths of the employee and his or her professional interests, we build an individual development plan and training," she said. "All this together creates in us a unique atmosphere of openness, friendliness and mutual assistance, and it is appreciated by all newcomers," Sanina said. "We believe this is one of our most important assets, and we will make every effort to preserve it." About SAS SAS (sas.com) is the leader in business analytics software and services, and the largest independent vendor in the business intelligence market. Through innovative solutions, SAS helps customers at more than 65,000 sites improve performance and deliver value by making better decisions faster.

Beautyberries' powers go beyond good looks
Updated 11:47 am, Monday, September 3, 2012
Last year's drought killed a lot of trees on Tim and Ginger Dyring's 25 wooded acres in Spring and exposed hundreds of native beautyberry shrubs to more sun.
Now the Dyrings are harvesting bucketfuls of glossy purple fruit, says Tim Dyring, whose family has lived on the property since 1988.
Contrary to popular belief, the brilliant berries are not toxic; they can be used to make a pretty, delectable, rose-colored spread that tastes like mild elderberry jelly, Dyring says. American Indians made beautyberry tea to treat illnesses.
The pest-free, deciduous American beautyberry (Callicarpa americana) blends into woodland and home garden settings until late summer and early fall, when bracelets of brilliant berries hug the 4- to 8-foot, arching branches. It's a sight worth the wait.
Chemist Mark "Merriwether" Vorderbruggen talks up beautyberries in his edible wild plants programs at the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center and on his blog, www.foragingtexas.com.
"My kids and I love to nibble on beautyberries this time of year," he says. "Raw, they have a slight medicinal taste, but when cooked into a jam or jelly, they really shine. To me the flavor is somewhat like rose petal jam but more complex and downright wonderful."
He advises tasting just a few berries first to determine how they will settle in the stomach.
Not only are beautyberries edible - 40 species of birds and other wildlife love them - but the leaf oil also can repel insects.
Both Vorderbruggen and Dyring use beautyberry as an insect repellent, a practice steeped in folklore that has been shown effective in lab studies.
Early 20th-century farmers placed fresh, crushed beautyberry leaves beneath horse and mule harnesses so the plant's oils could repel biting bugs. Some people would rub crushed leaves on their skin.
Several years ago, scientists with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's research division isolated beautyberry compounds effective in repelling biting insects. One, callicarpenal, proved to be as effective as DEET in fighting mosquitoes. Other tests found beautyberry compounds also repelled ticks and fire ants.
While the research is promising, commercial products aren't available yet.
"We have commercial partners that are investigating a process for manufacturing it, but nobody has been able to produce it yet in a cost-effective manner," says Charles Cantrell, an Oxford, Miss., USDA Agricultural Research Service chemist instrumental in isolating the compounds.
"I still think somebody's going to pick it up, but we don't yet have a licensed partner to manufacture it."
Dyring rubs beautyberry leaves on his skin and has noticed that since the insects avoid the bushes, he doesn't get bitten while harvesting the berries.
Vorderbruggen has used beautyberries as an insect repellent for years, rubbing mashed leaves on his clothes and attaching a few leaves to his hat.
"It works against mosquitoes, but I have found one wood tick that didn't seem affected," he says.
But he'll wait for a commercial product to apply directly on his skin.
"In an extreme survival situation, I would not hesitate to rub it directly on my skin, but being a research chemist, I am well aware of the potential dangers of chemicals, even 'natural' ones."

People | 5 |
Bedrooms | 2 |
Bathrooms | 2 |
Property type | mobile home |
Minimum Stay | 3 nights |
Recently renovated two-bedroom mobile home directly on the St. Johns River. Bring your boat, too, and park it right behind the house at our brand-new dock!
Guys - enjoy a day fishing in the Bass capital of the world. Crappie and Blue Gill are also caught in abundance! Seven Sisters Islands, locally known as a fishing hotspot, are right in your backyard! Seasonal shrimping and blue crabbing, too.
Golf - Palatka Golf Club is nearby and waiting to challenge you with its Donald Ross designed course. Additional golf adventures can be found at the World Golf Village near St. Augustine, with its legendary King & Bear or Slammer & Squire courses, and the notable World Golf Hall of Fame museum.
Ladies - while the guys are fishing or golfing, how about a shopping trip to the St. Augustine Prime Outlet malls? After shopping, enjoy the afternoon in historic St. Augustine, only 36 country miles away. Be sure to tour the Castillo de San Marcos, which dates back to 1695. Stroll around the old shoppes downtown, or travel over the Bridge of Lions to beautiful Anastasia Island beach. On Sundays, be ready for an afternoon of BINGO at the community's clubhouse.
Nearby Palatka offers a full range of shopping and dining. On the way, make sure to stop by Corkie Bells Restaurant for some fantastic classic-Florida-style seafood on the river. Plan on visiting Ravine Gardens State Park during Azalea season, perhaps enjoying a picnic on the grounds. Another must-do is a stop at Angels Drive-In Diner, billed as Florida's oldest and dating back to 1932.
Like Wine? The area boasts two wineries, the Log Cabin Farm, Vineyard & Winery in Satsuma, and San Sebastian Winery in St. Augustine.
Got a motorcycle (or want one)? Destination Daytona including Daytona Harley-Davidson is only 43 country miles away. Enjoy motorsports? Daytona International Speedway, home of the Daytona 500, is only 54 miles away.
Grandkids coming for a visit? Well, if you really MUST leave the tranquility of your riverfront retreat, you'll be happy to know that Disney, Universal Studios, Seaworld, and all the other central Florida attractions are only around 100 miles away.
Now, doesn't this sound better than shoveling snow all winter?
Keywords: St. Johns River, riverfront, winter rental, seasonal, snow bird, dock, fishing
There is so much more to Florida than Disney World and the beach. The St. Johns River offers a glimpse into what Florida used to be, with great fishing, birdwatching, scenery.
Enjoy a day on the river in your boat, and then dock it right behind the house at our brand new dock. Fish, shrimp, or crab right from the dock. After a day on the water, enjoy a barbeque on the gas grill. Then, how about cocktails in the screened-in porch while watching the sun set over Seven Sisters Islands.
Great surroundings, clean house, great dock, good fishing location on St. John's river! Highly recommend.
We will come back. Great place to stay. Perfect place to interact with family without electronics!!
My husband and I stayed 3 nights in this cute home. Loved that we were right on the water with our boat and the neighborhood is quiet. We went and ate dinner one night at Corky Bells just several miles up the road in Palatka. It was delicious! The cell service in the house is not great but when you step outside you can get 4G. If you want to watch something on TV I recommend you bring some dvd's unless you like watching infomercials, talk shows, or people's court! Lol We came for the fishing and did pretty good considering the heat. We caught 75 bream. The only thing that is see would be a problem is with mulitple people staying here there is no privacy for the room with the queen bed. It didn't bother me as it was just my husband and I. This would be perfect for a family with 2 or 3 kids. We enjoyed it and we will be back!
We stayed here for 5 glorious days. We fished twice a day.your home is so peaceful and relaxing. Private boat ramp to unload your boat. Any thing and everything you need in the kitchen. boat dock,nice deck with chairs, screened in porch we loved..oh and the view of the river is awesome ..we have stayed here several times and can not wait to return!!!
We stayed at the St. John's waterfront property mid October for 4 nights. Wish we could have stayed longer! The house was clean bright and well furnished with everything we needed. Darra and Ron were very helpful and had left some good tips about local facilities in a welcome pack for guests. The house is located in a good area for fishing both from the dock in front of the house (facilities to moor own boat) and other locations in the area. We enjoyed our stay and would defiantly stay there again.
We loved this place!!! We arrived late in the day so the first evening was just a time to relax and check out the outside features (dock, deck, and screened porch). These features are what sets this home apart. I caught plenty of panfish from the dock albeit smaller fish. The community boat ramp and the one at the little bar at the end of the road were too small for my boat (22' long x 8' wide with a 30' trailer) so a quick drive back to the Dunn's creek adn hwy 17 ramp was easy enough and then a short boat ride back to the dock made for easy access the rest of the trip. There is a bait shop, convienence store and an awesome Produce stand in Satsuma along with little takeout restaurants. I also had need of a hardware store which is in Pomona Park only 6 miles away and all of the chains are in Palatka if you want to buy some steaks to grill on the Gas grill on the deck....Overall it is a wonderful place to stay. The only cons are cell phone coverage, no light for the grill, no Wifi and TV is on an antenna but these are creature comforts that for the price were not an issue....WE WILL BE BACK!!!!

The New England Historical and Genealogical Society's Enews reminds us of the resources available for east-central Wisconsin at the Ripon Historical Society and nearby places. (BTW, unlike many genealogy societies, NEHGS is flourishing and has more members than ever. Their move into New York is only the beginning. In the fall issue of New England Ancestors, its new board chair muses on how to position the society as "the national organiztion it really has become," with "extraordinary resources . . . for almost every state of the union and many European countries.")
Meanwhile, back in Ripon, use the explanatory links at the Ripon Historical Society to get started, branching out to local library resources including PDF cemetery files, the Samuel Pedrick Collection (housed at RHS although the guide is on the college website), the Ripon College Archives, and . . . speaking of outfits that loom large far beyond their state's borders . . . the bountiful resources of the Wisconsin State Historical Society.

Hehe, I really like this story! I'm putting it on my favourite list! You're excellent at writing, y'know. If it's one thing I can't stand, it's stories with no decent punctuation, spelling or a rubbish story all together, but this is the complete oposite! It's got great punctuation and spelling, and I could read it all day! I love it!!!Author's response
Thank you! I try. I've been called a Grammar Nazi because I edit things like there's no tomorrow. I fix my English teacher's mistakes.

NEW YORK — The Jets signed cornerback Kyle Wilson, the team's first-round draft pick, to a five-year, $13 million contract, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Saturday night.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the agreement.
The deal, which includes about $7 million guaranteed, means all four of the Jets' draft picks are under contract before the team reports for training camp in Cortland on Sunday.
"I'm a millionaire!!!!!! And headed to camp," Wilson wrote on his Twitter page.
Wilson, considered by many to be the top cornerback in the draft because of his solid man-to-man skills, slipped to the Jets at 29th overall. Coach Rex Ryan immediately said he would have a key role in a defense that ranked No. 1 overall and tops in pass defense last season.
Wilson likely will be the Jets' starting nickelback and compete for the job as the primary punt returner. The Piscataway, N.J., native had 11 interceptions at Boise State and returned three punts for scores.
He was slated to go higher on many draft boards, but ended up being the fourth cornerback selected after Florida's Joe Haden (Cleveland, No. 7), Alabama's Kareem Jackson (Houston, No. 20) and Rutgers' Devin McCourty (New England, No. 27).
Wilson's contract compares favorably to that of McCourty, who received $13.2 million with $7.825 million guaranteed. Miami defensive end Jared Odrick, picked one spot ahead of Wilson, agreed to a five-year deal worth up to 13 million, including $7.13 million guaranteed.
Wilson was a standout cornerback and wide receiver at Piscataway High School, and chose Boise State over late offers from Rutgers and Iowa. He became a starter in the second half of his freshman season and helped lead Boise State to a Fiesta Bowl victory over TCU to cap his college career.

Kids Calculating Photoperiods
Here are three ways in which students can calculate the photoperiod of a location from sunrise and sunset data.
1. Use noon as a pivot point. If the sunrise is at 6:14 a.m. and the sunset is at 9: 36 p.m., you would divide the photoperiod into two parts: the amount of time before noon and the amount of time after noon. Most students would work it through like this: from sunrise (6:14) to 6:30 is 16 minutes, from 6:30 to noon is 5 hours and 30 minutes, so from sunrise to noon is 5 hours and 46 minutes. From noon to sunset is 9 hours and 36 minutes so the total would be 14 hours and 82 minutes. Since they know that there are only 60 minutes in an hour, it becomes 15 hours and 22 minutes. It may help to state it visually:
2. Convert sunrise and sunset numbers to a 24-hour clock and subtract sunrise from sunset.
sunset 9:36
convert to 24 hour clock
sunrise 6:14
- 6:14
15 hours and 22 minutes
This can be challenging when one of the hours has to be converted to 60 minutes to enable proper subtraction. For example:
sunset 9:08
- sunrise 5:52
3. Mystery Class veteran teacher, Jo Leland offered this helpful Teacher Tip for calculating photoperiod too:
Students may also come up with their own methods that come out correctly. Let them use whichever method they feel comfortable with as long as it works consistently.

Overall, I think our new president has been doing a fine job, and polls show that about two thirds of Americans agree with me. In some areas, he has really knocked the ball out of the park: restoration of science's rightful place in policy, re-engagement with the international community and especially re-thinking our insane Cuba stance. There's been the passage of a significant economic stimulus bill, and an ambitious, generally well-considered budget proposal.
In the area of economic recovery, I think the jury's still out, and honestly no one seems to know what exactly is going on or how exactly we should proceed. Things are so chaotic that though I've never owned any property I wouldn't be surprised if I had a shady mortgage I didn't know about. The supposedly "smart" people are the ones that got us into this mess in large part, yet the most liberal critics don't necessarily have the answers either.
I'd like to think he's doing the right thing on this torture issue by having his attorney-general determine who gets prosecuted for what offences, but again, we'll have to wait and see a bit longer than 100 days. What is discernible by now is that President Obama offers a refreshing change of pace from George W. Bush. I've been stunned by just how low a bar our previous president set. President Obama can easily exceed expectations simply by shaking hands with foreign leaders, talking to the press more than once every few years, and keeping Dick Cheney away from any important buttons.
