Pressure of uncertain markets, escalating input costs, high labour turnover, advent of technology and others provide significant opportunity and incentives for fraudsters to commit financial studies. This, according to an ASSOCHAM-Grant Thornton joint study, makes it imperative for companies to have an anti-fraud framework in place if they want to mitigate the risks from such events.
A whistleblower will be the hero of companies that decide to implement such an anti-fraud framework. Companies that want to deal with frauds will also have in place an in house complaint mechanism.
"Companies must maintain anonymity of the complaint mechanism by ensuring confidentiality of information reported through the whistle-blower mechanism. There should also be a policy of non-retaliation against the whistle-blower," the study added.
The study titled "Financial and Corporate Frauds" says there is an urgent need to equip Indian businesses against such frauds through a systematic programme of fraud risk assessment, monitoring, incident response and remediation. It also points out that a robust control environment is vital to reduce such risk, misconduct within companies and the dynamic business environment.
Management views on mitigating fraud, corruption and misconduct should be revealed to the employees, and disciplinary action and zero tolerance for violations should also be part of the message that the board sends out to employees, the study adds.
The study suggests that organisations willing to counter fraud develop sound fraud prevention policies that must include extensive background checks on new-hires, promotion candidates, suppliers, customers and business partners (including international third parties); segregation of duties; position rotations; limitations of physical access to assets; removal of unauthorised and old system users and whistle blower mechanism.
An ethics code, training of employees periodically about the policies and procedures, including in-person and web-based training for people to recognise and report red flags to frauds; special training for finance professionals and others in high-risk positions (i.e. business developers, sales and marketing) have been recommended.
Highlighting how continuous monitoring using data analytics is imperative to improve efficiencies and integrate supply chains, as most organisations are now heavily reliant on IT systems to support business processes, the study suggested that companies put adequate control on devices containing confidential data, encrypt devices and use reliable software tools with remote data wiping capabilities to safeguard against device theft or intrusions.

Opening the Vault: Black-owned Banks Have a Long History of Providing Finacial Services to Underserved Communities 46 R e g i o n F o c u s • S p r i n g 2 0 0 7 ECONOMICHISTORY PH OT OG RA PH Y: C OU RT ES Y OF M EC HA NI CS A ND F AR M ER S BA NK Robert Johnson, America's firstblack billionaire, decided toget into the financial services industry last year. He purchased a majority stake in a struggling minority- owned bank in Orlando, Fla., infusing millions of dollars into the institution to position it for a future national expansion. Named Urban Trust Bank, the firm will target urban residents who don't already have accounts and have limited access to capital, particularly blacks. In addition to using capital from Johnson and his network of CEOs, bank officials want to join the Treasury Department's Minority Bank Deposit Program, which encourages corporations, federal agencies, and state and local governments to put their savings in banks owned by women and minorities. Still, the bank's officers make it clear that Urban Trust isn't all about the black community. They want to make money by attracting customers of all races and backgrounds. Single mothers and people with questionable credit records will be served alongside minority students and small-business owners applying for loans. More than a century ago, the economic realities imposed by segrega- tion required blacks to pool their resources and help each other. Black- owned banks are part of this long tradition. During their peak between the end of the Reconstruction era and the start of the Great Depression, more than 130 of these institutions opened for business, providing capital to black entrepreneurs and prospective home- owners at a time when it was expensive or impossible to get elsewhere. Not surprisingly, most of these banks were in the South, where 90 percent of blacks lived. The Fifth District accounted for one-third of the total, with Virginia having the most of any

Rudy ramos appearing live in
More Remakes are possibly coming our way...
In light of the success of the Magnificent Seven Remake, producers are taking notice that if you combine reverence for the original with wry humor and an outstanding ensemble cast of popular actors, people will come to see it... (I firmly believe that there's still time to do right by The Lone Ranger)
Some that are being talked about are:
The Cowboys w/ Tommy Lee Jones & High Noon.
One cowpoke who has made a cottage industry out of using the titles, if not the stories, from original books and films is Trace Adkins with The Virginian (2014) & Stagecoach: The Texas Jack Story (2016). next up is Abilene with Luke Hemsworth & Kris Kristofferson along for the ride. A Big round of applause goes to Mr. Adkins for helping to keep westerns alive.
The Westerns:
Between Truth & Myth Lies the Legends...
... The Myth is Everything
"The important thing is to make a different world, to make a world that is not now. A real world, a genuine world, but one that allows myth to live. The myth is everything." Sergio Leone on western films
Almost twenty five years after their release the camps are still divided between Tombstone (1993) and Wyatt Earp (1994) with the favor leaning more towards the action packed Tombstone and the Val Kilmer portrayal of Doc Holliday. Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone's quote is quite literally true, proving it by retooling our western frontier history into a truly distorted mythical west with "The Man with No Name" films as well as the classic epic, Once Upon a Time in the Old West; and in so doing created household names of actors who had already been around the western genre for the better part of a decade or even longer. Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, and perennial bad guy Lee Van Cleef, all became stars while creating a whole new sub-genre known as the 'Spaghetti Western' along the way; a sub-genre that wasn't all that original to begin with having it's basis in Japanese Samurai classics. Never-the-less it took a European director to reminded us that the myth of the west may far out way the legend while stateside film makers were set on a revisionist version of the western with films like, Little Big Man, Solider Blue, Dirty Little Billy and a sordid little film named, Doc; purportedly the true tale of the events surrounding the Gunfight at the OK Corral.
In other words, Europe threw our westerns back in our face while, in somewhat absurdist interpretations, while giving us back the mythical heritage therein.By the time Tombstone and Wyatt Earp came around we had been given a varied mix of sub-genre's within western sub-genres; from the sullen restructuring of Clint Eastwood, to the violent discordance of maverick Sam Peckinpah to the 'by-the-book' regularity of John Wayne. Each with their own take on western legends and myths.
Tombstone and Wyatt Earp are different and yet they are the same in many way. But what separates them as entertainment? That's the crux of the matter for those of us who enjoy Western films.
Recently I've been reading a book on John Wayne that even I find very offensive. Misinformation is the norm in this book and the writer seems to have a real preoccupation with sexual habits to the point where you would think the normal attitude was sexual deviation, masochism and bisexuality; after awhile you might forget you're reading what the author proclaims is the "True Story of John Wayne" and think you're reading "Fifty Shades of Zane Grey."
Friends on social sites have asked me to name the author and the book. I won't do it for a number of reasons; instead, in response to their inquiries, I wrote this rather long epistle to answer the other question my readers have asked me. . . "Why do you keep reading the book if it offends you and there are so many errors?": What it all boils down to is not only do we now create legends and myths surrounding the real characters of the west like Wyatt Earp, Billy the Kid or Calamity Jane but we have taken to creating an apocryphal history for our Silver Screen Cowboys. Here is my response:
I haven't mentioned the name of the book and I won't. There are mistakes in every book I've read, even if they are memoirs written by the subject. I have been guilty of it as well. But the author of this particular book writes as if he is indeed the final authority and what he says is absolute gospel. I don't mind a book that has conjecture, but don't print everything as dry "fact" unless you were there for every event, and then don't set yourself up as the utmost authority while contradicting your "facts" every few pages. For example the exact reason for John Wayne's hatred towards Harry Cohn is up for speculation and speculation only. Some sources claim he spread rumors that the Duke was a womanizer and a heavy drinker, while others claim it was due to the "corpse" role and deriding the actor at every turn; nobody knows for sure, we only know it's fact that the Duke refused to work at Columbia once he was let go by Cohn; we can only go by what is now in books, after-thought and hear-say, various people witness the same event and have different views on it (Rashomon, anyone). The legend becomes fact too often. It's a writer's job to make it interesting, but let the reader know whether their writing is based on 1) eyewitness reports, 2) what has been handed down 3) your opinion. Yes, Buck Jones definitely died a hero, but it was in the hospital and not on the Coconut Grove site as has been written so many times, that's a "fact." Yes, Harry Cohn was "said" to be the most hated studio head during the studio days that's a "fact." But the minute you set yourself up as an authority by saying this is exactly the way it was, you are setting yourself up for someone who will say, "Mine is bigger than yours." There is no such thing as a final authority, or even an utmost authority on anything, only someone who is the most well-known for his or her studies on a subject. The best case to be made for this is, I have interviewed dozens of stars, celebs, working actors and film-makers who have told me the same story about themselves, or some other public figure or occurrence, over and over at public events and they never tell it the same twice. It's an author's job to present the "facts" as they are presented to him, I could regale you with so many stories that have been told to me by the primary subject that I question as told; to the teller of the tale it is the truth. It's become so clichéd but John Ford had it right, "When the Legend Becomes Fact, Print the Legend."

The AfricaCom Awards reward excellence in African telecoms, media and ICT. The Best Backhaul Solution for Africa Award recognizes a fiber, satellite or wireless solutions provider that significantly improved backhaul capacity with measurable improvements in quality and reliability of service in Africa. Comtech EF Data was selected by the panel of judges for its role in supporting Bharti Airtel's satellite-based network upgrade and service expansion across its operations in 16 African countries, which is one of the largest backhaul upgrade projects for the African continent. In order to enable sustainable and profitable service expansion and subscriber growth to rural areas and remote villages in Africa, Bharti Airtel needed to upgrade its satellite-based network infrastructure. Bharti Airtel selected the Comtech EF Data satellite mobile backhaul solution to transport and optimize voice and data communications and to facilitate significant growth planned for the region. Comtech EF Data's award-winning CDM-625 Advanced Satellite Modem with DoubleTalk ® Carrier-in-Carrier ® bandwidth compression and the CX-U Series by its subsidiary, Memotec, were selected by Bharti Airtel. DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier, based on the patented "Adaptive Cancellation" technology, allows transmit and receive carriers of a duplex link to share the same transponder space. DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier is complementary to all advances in modem technology, including advanced forward error correction and modulation techniques. This allows for its successful deployment in bandwidth-limited and power-limited scenarios, as well as reduction in earth station BUC/HPA power requirements. The Memotec CX-U Series is a dedicated mobile backhaul platform delivering Radio Access Network (RAN) optimization, A/E voice trunk compression and TDM Pseudowire. Bharti Airtel deployed several CX-U models, which are now optimizing the RAN and significantly reducing the amount of backhaul bandwidth required to support mobile services over constrained links. The combination Comtech EF Data and Memotec mobile backhaul solution is deployed globally by the top mobile network operators.

I have been watching the WWE for 13 years now and never in that time, even during the attitude days, have I ever seen such a hyped crowd that was so informative and creative at the same time on Raw or Smackdown. By judging the way the night went, you could have made the case that everyone in the building was a face instead of John Cena. Cena opened up the show celebrating his WWE Championship belt after his win over The Rock at WrestleMania29. Cena was so hyped he wanted to take on all comers to the ring to defend his title until Mark Henry got into a confrontation with the WWE Champion.
During the entire show, the announcers JBL, Michael Cole and Jerry The King Lawler kept taking notes with the crowd especially at one point during the show when the audience was chanting all three of the announcer's names. What was most surprising to me was the pop that Dolph Ziggler got when he cashed in the money in the bank for the World Heavyweight Championship. Ziggler finally got the push he wanted that he had been waiting so long for and I'm glad he came in when he did. Alberto Del Rio suffered injuries with both legs during his matches the past two days against Jack Swagger which led to Ziggler finishing him off.
It is unclear at this time if the WWE will let Ziggler become a face due to the chants he got during Raw, but this may be just a case of having a once in a lifetime type of crowd. With what happened on Raw, it really sets the standard for other cities to stand up and rise to the occasion. It may be a common theme from here on out for other cities to try and out-perform the other.

exercisejunie Review
nice black dress
Misspelled my moniker, it is exercisejunkie, but don't know how to go back to change it. Wanted another black dress and thought this looked cute with the brooch on it, which is a pin that comes off so you can wash it or change the position. The pin also comes wrapped so it doesn't catch the material of the dress in shipping. The dress for me was too long as I am 5'2" and not special enough to spend the money on to have shortened so I returned it. Otherwise it is a nice black dress. I really like machine washable, as this is, because dry cleaning bills tend to get out of hand. Once again my plea to "O" is to get petite sizing as the cost of altering clothing is very dear.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? same
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. midweight polyester, no obvious defects
- How accurate was the sizing? accurate

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Had you told someone before the playoffs began that the powerhouse Vancouver Canucks would reach the Western Conference finals with the Sedin twins a combined minus-16 through two rounds, you likely would have been asked whether you were smoking some funny stuff.
And then if you told them Henrik Sedin would put up only one assist through a seven-game stretch between the first and second rounds, and brother Daniel Sedin -- a 41-goal scorer this season -- would go six straight playoff games without a goal, well, you'd likely be told you were crazy.
It speaks to the depth of the Presidents' Trophy winners that they survived the struggles of their terrific star twins and did not miss a beat in their quest for the franchise's first Stanley Cup.
Eventually, however, it's going to catch up with you. Which is why the outstanding third period delivered by the twins in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals, including Henrik's game winner, bodes well for the Canucks.
The San Jose Sharks are the most talented and formidable team the Canucks will face in these playoffs. So Vancouver needs the twins on board to beat San Jose.
"I'm extremely confident in them," Canucks GM Mike Gillis told ESPN.com on Tuesday.
What people have to realize is the twins get the kind of defensive attention no other player on this team does, Gillis explained.
"You have to take what you're given in this game, and sometimes you're not given a whole lot," Gillis said. "In a playoff series, I think it's easier for top defensive players to have a bigger impact. They [the Sedins] played against [Shea] Weber and [Ryan] Suter last round, and they're very good defensemen. And they played against [Duncan] Keith and [Brent] Seabrook before that. It's tough to generate offense when you're playing in those kinds of games."
While the twins were mostly neutralized last round, Ryan Kesler emerged as the offensive catalyst.
"That's why you have a team," Gillis said. "You take advantage of matchups. But we have total faith in Henrik and Daniel. They've been nothing but incredible professionals and incredible people for us. Their compete level is high, so we're very happy."
If Roberto Luongo was the whipping boy against Chicago, the twins spared their goalie the lashings in the second round, coming under fire from fans and media. It was fitting in that sense that, on Tuesday, Luongo sat between the twins at the podium for their media availability. No other player is better positioned to comment on what it's like to take heat in this hockey-crazed town than Luongo, pulled twice in the first round against Chicago before delivering in Game 7.
And if it's true that you truly find out a person's character in bad times, Luongo's account of how the twins handled the criticism says it all about the Swedish stars.
"They were great," Luongo said. "They always seem like they're even-keeled, no matter what's going on. Always in a good mood. Great guys to be around. It's nice to see that demeanor in the locker room because it's important. You don't want guys moping around because it tends to bring other guys down. They seem unaffected by it, which is a great way to handle it."
Really, no one should be surprised. The story of the Sedins and their arrival in the NHL with the Canucks was one of hardship. They were mocked by some in the early years -- called the sisters -- and their perseverance through those tough times made them battle-tested for whatever would come later in their careers.
The criticism in these playoffs? Water off a duck's back, the twins insisted.
"We've all gone through the bad things about playing in a market like this, all the pressure, the media coverage, the criticism," team captain Henrik said Tuesday. "I think this year we've taken another step in the way that we don't really care what the outside says. It's about the guys in the dressing room. That feeling is a big difference, I feel, from before where the outside pressure has been tough to bear on your shoulders.
"Like I said, this year everyone has been through it, we know how to handle it and that's a good feeling to have."
But the criticism leveled at the twins irks their teammates much more.
"Since I've been here, there has been so much criticism of both of them, and I don't understand where it comes from or why?" linemate Alex Burrows said Tuesday. "Henrik led the league in scoring last year and was the Hart trophy winner. Danny is a [Hart] candidate this year and will probably win it; led the league in scoring. They don't cheat offensively, they're great leaders, great role models for people in the city, they donate a lot of money to charity in the province of British Columbia. And they're great teammates and great persons. So I don't know where that comes from."
Games such as Sunday night's are the only remedy for the twins, and their track record suggests there's more of those goodies to come. If there isn't? Oh, they'll hear about it.

Looking to buy a Weaver torque screwdriver
I'm thinking about buying a Weaver torque wrench/screwdriver. I feel the need to start torquing things the way they are suppose to be. I'd like to get my scope rings torqued properly and start fiddling with the torque settings on the reciever screws. I can see myself getting plenty of use out of it, if it's worth having. Does anyone have the Weaver torque screwdriver/wrench? What do you think of it?
I'm hoping to hear good things about it. I like the 0-80 in/lb range on it......the price ain't too bad either. :)
Any torque limiting device is a must for the tool box.
I do not have the Weaver. Here is a link to Brownells for others:
Seem to work well
this is the one i have, it works well enough
an inch pound adjustable torque driver is a MUST have if you do anything to firearms. just getting the reciever screws torqued evenly is a must
I have the Wheeler also and it works real good easy to adjust and use.

THE State Government has awarded Watpac the contract to build its $55 million velodrome at Chandler for the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
As many as 185 jobs are expected to be created through the construction of the Queensland State Velodrome, which makes up just part of the $320 million the Government will be spending on infrastructure for the Games.
HIGH PRICE: Gold Coast Games to cost Queensland $2 billion
LESSONS: Games organisers learning from Glasgow
OPTIMISM: Gold Coast prepares to accept Games charter
Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney said the velodrome, designed by Brisbane architects Cox Rayner, was part of a broader attempt to create jobs. He said the Games was expected to "inject $2 billion into our economy and provide up to 30,000 full-time-equivalent jobs".
Tourism Minister Jann Stuckey said the Sleeman Sports Complex velodrome, another "world-class" venue in the state's growing portfolio, presented an opportunity to subcontractors.
"There will be opportunities for local subcontractors to benefit from the construction of the velodrome, and I would encourage businesses to register on the ICN Gateway if they haven't already," she said.
Watpac is expected to handle the site from October and complete its construction phase by mid-2016, with a contractor to take carriage of the construction of the timber track.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Without replays, and often at a considerable distance from the far flung corners of the pitch, it's all too easy to miss the set-up pass or the number of the player who delivered it. But when it comes to Boston College, there's an easy cheat. If Victoria DiMartino or Kristen Mewis put foot or head to ball for the finish, it's generally safe to assume the other one had a hand in setting it up.
From Long Island to Massachusetts, Chestnut Hill to Chapel Hill and Germany to New Zealand, the two have been friends for the better part of a decade, traveling the globe and leaving a trail of goals behind them.
"I think they have a great chemistry," Boston College coach Alison Foley said before the season. "You say sometimes players are telepathic; I think those two have that type of connection."
The Eagles scored four goals in beating North Carolina and NC State 3-2 and 1-0, respectively, to open ACC play, and DiMartino and Mewis combined on three of them (two by Mewis, one by DiMartino). For the season, DiMartino, a sophomore forward from Long Island, leads the Eagles with nine goals and is second with six assists. Mewis, a sophomore midfielder from an hour south of Boston, leads the team with eight assists and is second with six goals.
Mewis has assists on four of DiMartino's goals; DiMartino has assists on four of Mewis' goals.
The two have played together on big stages before, helping the United States to the Under-17 World Cup title in New Zealand in 2008 and making the trip to Germany this past summer to play in the Under-20 World Cup. But they haven't combined for many goals more important than the one Mewis headed home in the 60th minute against North Carolina.
The defending national champions had just seized a 1-0 lead when, 63 seconds later, DiMartino picked out Mewis at the far post and launched a perfect cross that her friend headed home to tie the score. The Eagles had to rally from another one-goal deficit later before DiMartino put home the eventual winner on an assist from Mewis, but for a program that had never earned so much as a draw against the Tar Heels -- let alone a win in Chapel Hill -- the initial instant answer set the tone for a team with national championship aspirations.
"I heard her screaming my name and I took an extra touch and she was wide open," DiMartino recalled. "I knew it was going in from the second I crossed it. I asked her and she goes, 'I knew you were going to cross that right to my head.'"
That mind meld is not an uncommon occurrence, just as its not uncommon to see them walking onto the field together before a game or to see DiMartino, with the well-honed exasperation only a friend can muster, confirm that, no, she still doesn't know where Mewis left her warmup shirt.
You don't need to be friends with your teammates. Perhaps you don't even need to like them all that much. But it doesn't hurt when a team's two best field players are as inseparable off the field as they are unstoppable on it. Mewis has had the pleasure of playing with plenty of talent in her club and international career, but nothing ever clicked quite like playing with DiMartino.
"I've played with some really great players, really great forwards, that I've tried to work with, but sometimes we're not always on the same page," Mewis said. "It might just be they play a different style of play or our minds don't really fit together or something like that."
Around the nation
• Kelley O'Hara had one of the great seasons in recent times en route to the Hermann Trophy and Stanford's first appearance in an NCAA championship game last year. And yet great as it was, that effort is rapidly starting to look like the prelude in Palo Alto. In the weekend's other potential College Cup preview, Stanford knocked off Portland 2-1 to remain unbeaten on the season at 8-0-2. Senior forward Christen Press provided what turned out to be the winner in the 36th minute, her 13th goal in 10 games this season. That effort also gave her 153 career points, breaking the program record established in 1993 by Sara Rafanelli.
A year ago, O'Hara scored 10 goals in Stanford's first 10 games, going without a goal in just three of those games, a feat remarkable for both its prolificness and consistency. Yet Press has not only 13 goals in the same number of games but came up empty just once, a 4-0 win against Pacific in which she had two assists. And without taking anything from O'Hara, Press is doing it without having Press around to divert any of the attention from opposing defenders and against a schedule that included not just Portland but North Carolina and Boston College.
October won't arrive until the end of the week, but the Hermann already belongs to Press if she wants it.
• Stanford has one win against a top-10 team this season. The same goes for Boston College, Notre Dame and Portland. But two wins against teams ranked in the top 10 at the time of the game? Well, North Carolina can make that claim with its wins against Florida and Texas A&M. But so can a rather more surprising team. And Colorado did it in the span of six days.
Fresh off a 1-0 upset win against UCLA at home the previous weekend, the Buffaloes scored an even bigger upset by going on the road for a 2-1 overtime win against Texas A&M on Friday. Despite coming off the bench in both games and playing a total of just 51 minutes, freshman Lizzy Herzl made the time count with the winners against both the Bruins and Aggies -- the first two goals of her college career. Even Sunday's 0-0 draw at home against Texas was hardly a momentum killer. Colorado is a modest 5-4-1 on the season, but with four points out of a tough opening weekend of Big 12 play and what look like its toughest remaining tests in Boulder, there is more than soccer life after Nikki Marshall. There might just be an NCAA tournament berth.
• North Carolina isn't going to get a lot of sympathy from beyond the borders of Tar Heel country after giving up three goals in a half for the first time since 1999 in the loss to Boston College, but they don't need the tears. With as many as eight new starters at times this season, it's a team that finds itself needing to grow up fast. Fortunately for Anson Dorrance, this group may actually be even faster than last season's champions.
And while the sheer volume of players North Carolina lost from last season's title-winning group has been chronicled, the Tar Heels are starting to get some experience coming the other way. After coming off the bench since returning from injury five games ago, senior Ali Hawkins made her first start since the season opener in Sunday's 2-1 win against Virginia Tech. Playing as one of North Carolina's three forwards instead of her more familiar midfield haunts, she brings another veteran hand alongside Courtney Jones in an otherwise youthful attack. And out of action since the opener, senior defender Rachel Givan may return as early as this week, adding stability to a back line that has played remarkably well for an untested group but showed its youth at times against the Eagles.
Quick hits
So much for offensive issues at Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish blanked Cincinnati and Louisville by 4-0 and 5-0 scores, respectively to open Big East play. The nine goals are more than they scored in any regular-season weekend last season. USC faces San Diego for the second time this season this weekend to close out conference play, a scheduling oddity that gives the Women of Troy a chance to cancel out their lone loss of the season. Six players already have multiple goals for USC, compared to seven all of last season. UTEP's 2-1 win against Memphis went a long way toward validating a run of much greater margin of victory for the Miners against a soft nonconference schedule. The eighth win a row for UTEP, the third longest streak in program history, was also the second win in as many seasons against Conference USA powerhouse Memphis. With shutout wins against Mississippi and Mississippi State, buoyed by SEC Defensive Player of the Week Justine Bernier in net, Alabama is 2-0 against SEC competition for the first time since 1995.

It really depends on location too - that said, out of curiosity, a director usually manages managers or at least has a staff. They also affect the company's overall direction & most importantly, the bottom line. (in non-profit world, the company's policy is the biggest gauge.)
Although Salary.com isn't always accurate, it would be a good starting point to look for the low-end salary in that area & that is typically what a non-profit would be paying, sometimes about 10% less than that.
Dec 15, 2009 at 1:57 UTC
1st Post
You just described the Job i'm doing right now. Having recently done the research and a Salary review, there is a wide margin depending on where you are located. A good estimate is from $50K to $65K or more. Of course that veries with location as well. (Small midwestern Cooperative).
Dec 15, 2009 at 2:06 UTC
I agree that location is a big factor as well, but my best estimate would be $70K plus.
Dec 15, 2009 at 2:10 UTC
I agree with Docwatmo... One of my relations does just this in the business sector, and it is enough responsibility (when things go down) to justify his $75K salary. In the non-profit world, where I work, I think $50K - $60K would be median, though you really want to lure someone qualified - especially when information security and policy is on the line. That's a huge point of vulnerability for non-profits who want to shave the budgetary corners.
Dec 15, 2009 at 2:19 UTC
I have seen a lot of non-profits hire an IT Manager at a low salary & as such get a low value person - then they end up hiring one or two "PC level" guys at a low-end salary - then what they find is at their numbers, if they had just paid one high-level guy the average salary (or even a high-end salary), they would have less problems & a cheaper solution! I helped to implement this change at one company where they had 150 computers in 5 locations - they hired an IT Manager at 40k, then when things were breaking, they hired two more people at 30k - they were still having issues coming up & just didn't have motivated workers - therefore, they brought me in to "scope it out" & my recommendation was to bring in a single IT Manager at the 70-80k range, which was saving them money in the grand scheme of things - within 6 months, there were running better than before & only had one employee (cause keep in mind that salary isn't the only expense)
Dec 16, 2009 at 7:13 UTC
I agree with Rusty4508. You get what you pay for. It you pay a low salary you get a person who is it not qualified. And if by chance you get a great IT person you will quickly lose him/her as soon as someone offers more $$$. Look for someone around 70k and check their resume.
Certifications are a good benchmark but experience is a better one!
Dec 16, 2009 at 7:45 UTC
Another consideration (and this may only be Electric Cooperatives rather than non profits in general) is job security. Cooperatives are Non-Profit and I work for an electric cooperative. Which historically has one of the lowest turnover rates in the country. I gladly traded the uncertain future with corporations for the stability and longevity of my positions. I could easily make an extra 15K to 20K a year or much more jumping to a corporate job again, (and I've turned down several serious offers in the 60K to 70 k range) for that stability. I love my job, I'm doing exactly what I want to do. That makes a tremendous difference in salary consideration for me.
Money isn't everything, and a stable job at 50 or 60 K is more attractive (At least to me) than a 70K job that could disappear in 2 or 3 years and leave me high and dry. (Been there, done that).
You do get what you pay for, regardless, but it's not what you pay, it's what you offer that keeps good people on the ship.
Dec 16, 2009 at 8:13 UTC
One thought, right now it really is an employers market. There are some good people looking who will accept a lower salary then they would have a year or two ago. It may be worthwhile to "go fishing" at a lower salary range and see if you attract a solid candidate.
Dec 16, 2009 at 9:01 UTC
For on-call 24/7 I would add a $15,000 surcharge. As was mentioned, it's an employer's market and they will try to squeeze everything they can out of you for as little money as possible, because they know there's some desperate unemployed sap that would sacrifice his entire life for a paltry $50k.
For an IT Director that has to be on call 24/7 I'd say $65k base and add $10-15k for the 24/7. If they don't want to agree to the $10k extra, then tell them to make the position hourly instead of salary.
Don't let anyone try to sucker you into 24/7 on call with no extra compensation. That's illegal as hell.
It may be an employer's market, but it never stays that way. Many employers will find themselves ass out in the cold one day and having to blow a hole in their budget just to hire and retain COMPETENT IT staff. Pay now or pay later I always say.
$75k-80k take it or leave it. $65k if they shove the 24/7 on call. Providing staff with 24/7 IT support is an EXTRA service that should have an EXTRA cost.
Dec 16, 2009 at 10:39 UTC
As much as I respect Justin.Davison's opinions, I disagree with the "go fishing" portion.
I agree with IT Slave. The employer market won't last for long. Those that worked at a lower salary for the sake of landing the job won't stick around. As my former boss once told me, "I'd rather them concentrate on their jobs instead of looking for another one".
I would start with the "fair" wage. Without consideration on benefits, cost of living in that area, etc, $70K sounds fair.
Dec 16, 2009 at 12:04 UTC
Aside from location, I'd say company culture makes a HUGE difference in the salary. I work at a non-profit private Christian school. It's a wonderful loving environment, no one complains about being at work. There is no "bitchin' and moanin'". No negative attitudes at all. I work for significantly less than I would for a company with a "normal" work environment. I could make at least twice as much as I do here if I went to work at a "real" company, but the stress-free work environment here is more than worth the extra money.
I do agree with Justin on the topic of "fishing" for a good candidate at a lower salary. If you hire a good employee now, by the time the "employer's market" ends, he will be invested in your organization and stay with it. Of course, for that to happen, it depends on the company culture. If he doesn't "like" the job, he isn't staying regardless of the salary.
I also recommend giving a "great" candidate some perks to motivate him to stay. Some people like conferences, pay for him to attend one or two big ones each year. Or, some people like collecting certifications, pay for one or two exams each year. You don't have to give him everything, but a few little things here and there make a huge difference.
That's my 2 cents.
Dec 16, 2009 at 1:42 UTC
Part of it depends on the location, the other on the type of enviornemnt. It's still expect anywhere from $50-65, but remember, it is an employers market right now, and there's folks willing to play let's make a deal.
Jan 5, 2010 at 12:54 UTC
Thanks everyone for their input on this topic! I'll be using everyone input when making the decision.
Jan 5, 2010 at 1:01 UTC
Thanks Chris, and good luck with the hiring process. Come back and let us know how it turns out!
Apr 19, 2014 at 1:10 UTC
The Dannon Project is an IT service provider.
I wonder since I do all that plus some should I be making closer to 75K
May 28, 2014 at 4:08 UTC
You're reading posts that are over 4 years old, you should be at the $80k-$85k range in the current market, at a small/medium nonprofit, in a medium/large city. In some areas and larger companies, the median is even higher, $90k-$95k. And this is the median, not the mean/max.
Anyone who's looking for current nonprofit salary benchmarks, find a Guidestar salary report, it tells you the salaries of most positions in most sizes of nonprofits in most areas.
And remember, a GOOD IT Director working in an SMB size company is grossly over worked, wearing many hats, and working many hours, but still making a big and positive impact on the company. You do get what you pay for, and you Rusty458 is right, for a small company, you want an A player that can not only resolve all current issues, but position the company to get to the whole next level, and do it all gracefully and with minimal outages, minimal cost, and of course on time and within budget.
But it's also important to remember than when you're employing an A player like this, who's doing the jobs of many, they probably have unconventional work styles and hours, in order to pull it off. Systems/servers/applications are running 24/7, and they all require maintenance that has to be done when humans are sleeping, so don't expect your A player IT Director to be on a set schedule as he/she's revolutionizing your company while you sleep.

Washington : A new study has found a way through which soap products can flow freely.
American Society for Microbiology researchers have come up with a new method that can create the perfect texture inside plastic bottles to let soap products flow freely.
The technique involves lining a plastic bottle with microscopic y-shaped structures that cradle the droplets of soap aloft above tiny air pockets, so that the soap never actually touches the inside of the bottle.
The y structures are built up using much smaller nanoparticles made of silica, or quartz, an ingredient in glass–which, when treated further, won't stick to soap.
Bhushan, Ohio Eminent Scholar and Howard D. Winbigler Professor of mechanical engineering at Ohio State said compared to soaps, getting ketchup out of a bottle is trivial. The coating repels liquids in general, but getting it to repel soap was the hard part.
Engineers Bharat Bhushan and Philip Brown Bhushan came up with a method to spray-coat a small amount of solvent and ultra-fine silica nanoparticles onto the inside of bottles.
The structures are only a few micrometers, millionths of a meter high, and covered in even smaller branchlike projections. They look like shaggy heart-shaped pillows, but they're hard as glass.
Researchers found that they don't cover the inside of the bottle completely, either, but instead are planted a few micrometers apart. The main branches of the y overhang the plastic surface at an angle less than 90 degrees–steep enough that water, oils and even surfactant can't physically sustain a droplet shape that would fall in between the branches and touch the plastic.
We all struggle with shampoo bottles at home, Bhushan said. I have a few in my shower right now. Trying to get the last drop out, I put it upside down, and my wife adds water to the bottle and fights with it for a while, and then we give up and just throw it away.
With further development, the university hopes to license the coating technique to manufacturers, not just for shampoo bottles, but for other plastic products that have to stay clean, such as biomedical devices or catheters.
They have already applied the same technique to polycarbonate, a plastic used in car headlights and smartphone cases, among other applications.
The study is published in journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A. (ANI)

Hydrodynamics of the free surface flow in Pelton turbine buckets
The design of Pelton turbines has always been more difficult than that of reaction turbines, and their performances lower. Indeed, the Pelton turbines combine 4 types of flows: (i) confined, steady-state flow in the piping systems and injector, (ii) free water jets, (iii) 3D unsteady free surface flows in the buckets, and (iv) dispersed 2-phase flows in the casing. The flow in Pelton turbines has not been analyzed so far with such detail as the flow in the reaction turbines, thus the understanding of the physics of key phenomena, i.e. the initial jet/bucket interaction or the jet cut process, is weak. Moreover, some machines present erosion damages that have not been satisfactorily explained so far. In the framework of this study, the flow in the buckets is investigated with 4 experimental and numerical approaches: (i) Unsteady onboard wall pressure measurements. 43 piezo-resistive pressure sensors are distributed on the bucket inner surface, backside and sides. (ii) High-speed flow visualizations (onboard and external). Small rigid endoscopes are fitted either in a bucket, to observe the relative flow, or in the casing to observe the jet/bucket interaction. (iii) Onboard water film thickness measurements. (iv) CFD simulations. The 2-Phase Homogeneous Model and the 2-Fluid Models are compared with the experimental data. The 2-Fluid Model appears to be more accurate, while the 2-Phase Homogeneous Model is too diffusive. The initial jet/bucket interaction evidences the probable occurrence of compressible effects, generating an outburst of the jet and leading to erosion damages. When the jet impacts the bucket inner surface, a high-pressure pulse, which amplitude is larger than the equivalent stagnation pressure, is generated, caused by compressible effects. The jet appears to remain attached to the backside of the buckets far in the duty cycle, and the separation to be dependent on the test head. The bucket backside acts as the suction side of a hydrofoil undergoing the Coanda effect, generating a depression, and in turn a lift force contributing positively to the bucket and runner torques. The depression nevertheless onsets cavitation, causing erosion damages. The main bucket flow is independent on the test heads. Mixing losses are put into evidence, either due to the crossing of streamlines or due to flow interferences. An analysis of the bucket power budget highlights the important contribution of the central area in terms of power transferred from the fluid to the bucket. The power signal of the whole runner shows important fluctuations that are modulated by the operating conditions. From the Momentum conservation equation, the respective influences of the different forces acting on the flow are evidenced. Even if the inertia forces, i.e. the deviation, Coriolis and centrifugal forces, globally dominate, the viscous and surface-tension forces outweigh the formers at the end of the evacuation process and in the jet separation process. Obtaining significant improvements of the performances of Pelton turbines requires to adequately take into account the secondary forces, i.e. surface tension and viscosity, for the bucket flow and to improve the design of the backside in order to maximize the torque while promoting a neat separation.

I bought a pair of heels from Aldo and threw out the box. A month later I bought another pair of heels from them, after finding that the first pair was a wee bit too tight and not good for keeping.
I was shocked to hear that I wouldn't be able to return the 1st pair that was too small because they only accept returns with the box.
I'm wondering if anyone knows or thinks it would be possible to return the first pair in the box from the 2nd pair.
Will the tags from a differnt shoe on the box pose a problem?

WATCH - Leicester boss storms out of bizarre press conference
Leicester manager Nigel Pearson stormed out of his post match press conference following his side's 3-1 defeat against Chelsea after a bizarre exchange with a confused reporter.
The Foxes chief took exception to being asked what criticism of his players had upset him over the season and he lost his rag as he fended off what seemed like an innocuous question from a journalist.
It was not the first time Pearson had been involved in a spat with a journalist this season, calling one a p***k after Leicester's 0-0 draw with Hull in March.
Pearson hinted he felt his players had been given unfair criticism this season, despite only climbing out of the relegation zone for the first time since November at the weekend.
He was asked what in particular had upset the manager only to be met with angry an angry response:
Pearson's strange performance produced plenty of negative reaction on social media, with few having much sympathy for the Leicester boss, starting with the journalist caught in the line of his verbal fire:
I worked with Nigel Pearson once and got the same bully boy routine he offered up tonight. Just looks like a fool - https://t.co/TvBefSdqCx— Kevin Palmer (@kpsundayworld) April 29, 2015

I've been talking to this guy and he has been saying he wants a serious relationship etc. We were talking quite a lot for two months and he also got mad at me once for just hanging out with some guys. I went to visit him last week and we hooked up, he said he would pick me up from work the next day and get lunch, but when I texted him he said he'd be busy. It's been almost a week and he hasn't texted me since. We hooked up once before this too so I don't really know what to think. He was showing me his tinder matches and conversations with his ex that night as well.

Moving forward after domestic violence – how one local family law firm helps
No one doubts that domestic violence has become an issue of epidemic proportions in Australia. The cold hard facts reveal that too many women and their children have had to face the experience, and that there are often tragic consequences if they cannot escape.
However, for those that do escape, the truth is they often leave with their children in a hurry. They have nowhere to go for fear of being found and have limited means and resources to support their family so as to remain safely away.
They are often, quite literally, on the run from a serious predator. They may have as little as a pair of pyjamas when they need to leave and be safe.
While there is limited government funding and the Abbot Government has established an advisory panel on violence against women, the need for funding for services and support for victims is still so low that people who need urgent support are not able to access it and are slipping through the cracks.
One Gold Coast family law firm, Evans & Company Family Lawyers are doing their part to raise awareness. Teaming with local charity Assist A Sista, Evans & Company Family Lawyers are new supporters of the charity that helps survivors of domestic violence "restore, rebuild and repair".
In addition to their financial support, Evans & Company Family Lawyers are taking the next step by hosting a Gold Coast Corporate Awareness Event in late May 2015. The event will include fundraising opportunities with all proceeds going back to Assist A Sista.
Partner Dean Evans says, "Domestic violence is an horrendous issue in Australia. Unfortunately working in family law reveals to us that all too many adults and children, from all backgrounds and all financial situations, are impacted by domestic violence. The impacts are devastating, including on a short term and long term basis. By hosting a function for Assist A Sista, we aim to raise awareness about their good work amongst our corporate contacts."
Assist A Sista is a Gold Coast based group of community volunteers who work together to help survivors of domestic violence rebuild their lives. Through corporate supporters and their facebook page, they facilitate donations of cash, clothing, furniture, non-perishable food items, toys and other essential and non-essential comfort items.

I'm about to go on my second NCL cruise. My first cruise on the Pearl in 2007 was great and I was looking forward to my next cruise with my new sweetie.
So I contacted NCL about a cruise I was interested in on the Jewel this month. I wanted to get a mini-suite since this was going to be my sweetie's first cruise. The person on the phone said that If I book with them right now I would get a $300 credit that I could use onboard during the cruise. I said this was great, because I wouldn't have to see my travel agent and I could just take care of it now.....
Then after reserving came the email that I would only get a $100 credit. WHAT!!!
I called them back and they said that I would only get a $100 credit. This is not what I was told and after asking to speak with a manager he said that there was nothing that he could do. After I enquired further he said that he would have some one call me back the same day. I have not received that call after a week.
Has anyone here every had this Bait and Switch happen to them? Does anyone know of someone else I can contact about this? This entire incident has already soured the cruise, and we haven't even left home yet.
Thanks for your help.
Also thanks for all the good information in this forum. I have enjoyed reading the various posts here.
Welcome to cruise-chat.
See what happens when you don't use your agent? http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo...icon_frown.gif
All I can say is you are stuck, given you are already within the cancellation period. You can play phone tag with NCL and only get more frustrated. In the big scheme of things, it is only $200 so I wouldn't let that ruin my cruise. I just wouldn't forget it when the time came to book my next cruise.
Chalk it up to "lessons learned". I'd think an agent could get the onboard credit too and perhaps would have ensured it was $300 before finalizing things.
It's possible that the NCL person you spoke with was not completely up front with you about who gets the $300. Sometimes onboard credits are listed as "up to $300" depending on the type of stateroom you reserve. If the NCL person said, intentionally or not, that you could get a $300 credit if you book right now, s/he may not have had your specific type of mini-suite in mind, or may not have been up front about the credit available for your category of room.
Did any of the NCL folks you've spoken to since then say that the $300 is for a Villa Suite or anything like that?
Some cruise lines have a "Customer Care" department or similar. You could try calling NCL again, and ask if the NCL agent's conversation with you was recorded.
As Dave points out, using a travel agent is something you should consider in the future. Having an experienced advocate working for you both before and after the cruise is always a good idea.
Sorry about this, as it does sound like a real downer. But try not to let it ruin your anticipation of the cruise. Just remember the great time in store for you both.
Thanks for your replies.
At the time I made my reservation they were offering "up to $500" in credit. The worst part was the lack or concern. They never said "Sorry, we made a mistake" or offered any apology. Some acknowledgement of the error would have gone a long way. Terrible customer service indeed.
I will call them back and ask to speak to the customer care department. Working in sales myself I found their attitude to be very poor.
And here I was telling everyone how great NCL was.
Thanks again for the advice.
I also had the worst experience EVER out of any Cruise Line,, Ready for this.. I called to get info on depature time and price. Ispoke to a woman Named <deleted>. Then i called my wife she had to get clearence to get off work, it took about 3 hours, when i called back to book the Cruise the Price MORE then Doubled in Price, Spoke to a Supervisor said her name was <deleted>, and the price can change in a few hours,MORE THEN DOUBLE??? Scam dishonest ripoffs no intergrity USE ANY OTHER CRUISE LINE NOT THESE SCAM ARISTS....I`VE BEEN ON QUITE A FEW NEVER TAKEN FOR A RIDE LIKE THIS...
<Edited to remove names of cruise line employees. -LP>
Sorry to hear of your situation, larryd. Perhaps the first quote was the base fare, and the second included taxes and fees? Some cruise prices have gotten so low that the base fare is not much larger than the combination of taxes, fees and other charges tacked onto the total cost.
Yet another reason to use a Travel or Cruise Agent!
It could have been a mis-quote by them, or a mis-understanding on your part. This is unfortunate, but it is very true that the rates change within a day. They can change up to four times daily. An Agent could have locked in the price for you without a deposit while you decided. As Dave said regarding Vacaman's post.. Chalk it up to lessons learned.
I just booked two staterooms with NCL and the telephone rep was wonderful. I had my reservation (for 7 people) done in about 10 minutes. Of course I had throughly researched NCL's website and had my staterooms picked out and knew how much they were. Whether you are doing your own reservation or going through a TA a little research goes a long way.
I see no reason for any cruise line to bait and switch customers. I don't believe that RCL,CCL or NCL does this. There must be miscommunication somewhere between the customer and the cruise line company. It would not make any sense for any major cruise line company to do this. The cruise line compnaies have the right to change prices as they see fit, but I do not believe that they do this intentionally.
larryd, Depending on how close to the cruise you were booking, you may have been quoted the price for a category of room that was no longer available when you called back three hours later. Some of the deeply discounted categories have only a handful of rooms.

Sri Lankan Crikcet Selection Committe and Vice-captain Follows Caption
2255 views
(NIDAHASA News) Sri Lankan cricketer Mahela Jayawardene quit as vice-captain and a three-member selection committee also handed over their letters of resignation today (06), following ICC World Cup defeat.
"We would like to offer to step down immediately from the jobs of National Selectors, so that the group of selectors you may wish to appoint, could be given an opportunity to make short and long term plans, in the way they think it is best for our cricket." National selection committee head and former captain Aravinda de Silva said.
"Mahela had taken up the vice captaincy duty only till the end of the World Cup. This morning, he handed in a letter stating that he did not like continuing as the vice-captain of the team." Sri Lanka Cricket secretary, Nishantha Ranatunge said.
Kumar Sangakkara also stepped down yesterday (05) as one-day and Twenty20 captain. He also said his decision was taken three weeks before the World Cup.
The spate of resignations has taken the country with surprise and some local media speculated that the loss to India wasn't the only reason for the resignations. Some websites claimed that political pressure caused players and committee to resign posts while some other sites hinting about a match fixing.

Work on your self confidence and communication skills? Stuff like getting used to shaking hands when meeting someone, for example. (I guess that's more common in the business/professional world, but still, gives you a more mature first impression).
Work on catching yourself when you say "Umm..." or "Like..." or other filler words. Try and eliminate them from your speaking.
You say you don't want to change your appearance... The right outfit and maybe a change of hairstyle might help accomplish your goal, is this what you were referring to though or did you just mean no plastic surgery to make you less "boyish and child-like"?

About MeI first started to the gym about 20 years ago at the age of 17 years old, at this time I had already had a passion for sports especially athletics and martial arts. But for me the real reason for my training was because I wanted to change my overall look as I was very skinny and was bullied at school because of it.
I am currently working as a fitness consultant for Feelgood Fitness and and love making people feel good about themselves. My goals are to one day represent a supplement company who will recognise my hard work and commitment to changing people's lives for the better. I want to inspire others and I want to also do more Fitness Modelling work should any come up as I am available for shoots.
Becoming a fitness model or working for a supplement company would be a dream for me as I love the industry so much, making people happy and inspiring others to feel good about themselves the way other people have inspired me.
