Christening card
Good afternoon all - today I'm sharing my great nephew's christening card. The church is from a stamp set by Joanna Sheen. These are beautiful stamps and really need very little done to them. In this case I stamped the church and the words with versafine vintage sepia ink then matted and layered the image onto pale yellow and gold mirri card with a small gold brad in each corner. I put this image to the left of an A5 card and used a flourish stamp and fine detail gold embossing powder to embellish. This card fits very well for the My Time To Craft challenge and Srummy Stash Cafe where babies seem to be the order of the day this week. Thank you for coming to look.

Cuttlebug Embossed Acetate Card
Today I'm sharing a card that I made for two challenges, TGIF who ask us to use acetate and Saturday's Workout who want us to use embossing. This card uses two types of embossing because the acetate was put through a cuttlebug folder and heat embossing was used on the card. I'll leave the description at that because I've gone into detail on my tutorial blog so you can check it out there if you want to. Thank you for your visit today.

Poor Tilda!
I still only have one Tilda stamp and it's becoming quite a challenge trying to find new ways of using it! I put my thinking cap on to enter the Tilda and Friends ATC challenge this week.......and gave poor Tilda measles!! I paper pieced her PJs and nightcap and used whispers stroke pens for her face, hand, hair, slippers and carpet. Two different HOTP papers provided the wallpaper and her bed which I just hand drew with a black pen. The thermometer was just hand drawn too. I had such fun making this and do hope you like it. Thank you for coming to look.

50th Birthday Card
Hope you're all having a great weekend and better weather than us! I've had a lovely couple of days making a special card. My (younger!) brother is 50 in May and is a keen walker so I decided to use that as the theme for his birthday card. I created an open book template in the design master program for my craft robo and cut out two "pages" one slightly smaller than the other and have decorated both. The first picture you see is the finished assembled card and the second one is the bottom layer. I printed parts of maps off the internet for a couple of walks here in the english lake district that I've been forunate enough to call home for the last 52 years and is still my brother's favourite place to walk, for the bottom layer. One is a high walk and the other a lake side walk. For the top layer I created two oval "vignettes" using stampscape stamps and inktense pencils. I have loved doing this and am delighted with the results I can get with these stamps. Thank you for coming to look and I would appreciate your feedback - especially as I've never made this type of card before.

Rainbow monochrome green
Well I have to be honest - there are other things that I'm supposed to be doing this morning (like psyching myself up ready for my dental appointment this afternoon for starters!!) but as soon as I saw Rainbow Lady's Challenge this week, that was it - I knew immediately what I wanted to do so everything stopped till I did it! I love going onto the stampscapes galleries and there's so much I want to experiment with and this was a perfect opportunity. Cynthia wants us to choose one of the rainbow colours and create something with just shades of that one colour - the only other colour allowed is black for the stamping. I created this picture with five of the stamps and a little bit of masking. I stamped with black stazon onto semi glossy card then sponged over with 6 shades of whispers archival green inks. I haven't mounted it onto card yet to keep within the spirit of Cynthia's challenge because I want to put gold mirri between the picture and the green card I rested it on for the photo. I loved doing this and hope I get better at this technique with a bit more practise. Thank you for coming to look.

A Card For Four Challenges
Hi everyone, with precious little time to craft just now, I'm trying to make it all count! With that in mind, I designed this card to meet four challenges. The sketch challenge on Papertake Weekly, the Tutti Fruitti on My Time to Craft, Polka Dots on Take Part Make Art and Go green for Created By Hand. I promise that it is greener in real life! The image of the grapes is from Joanna Sheen's Victorian Companion CD set and the backing papers are a mixture of some from my stash of unknown origin and some from a papermania pad that I bought because it was a bargain then wished I hadn't because the colours are too muted for my usual taste and style of card making. I'm relying on you to let me know if I've made them work on this occasion! I could, of course have chosen matching backing papers from the CDs and very nearly did but decided that I had to try and use some of these papers to which I've added a little chalk ink and edged with a silver pentouch pen. Thank you for coming to look.

Me and my doll are hot and spicy!
Morning all - good to see you! This is my second Gothic Arches challenge and DCM have made it so easy for me! The background for this arch is made up of about 24 Twinkling H2O colours! I was transferring some of each of the colours I have to a watercolour palatte (don't ask!) and painted the excess colour onto my arch before washing the brush out each time. I started with the palest working to the darkest and this is what I was left with - of course, I won't be able to repeat it!! I put it to one side knowing I'd use it sometime and have done all of 2 weeks later! I've over stamped the background with some large flourishes and whispers eggplant dye ink, and the small stamps were stamped using a sakura gold metallic pen directly on the stamp. I thought I was going to struggle with me and my doll till I found this image on the Joanna Sheen Dancing with Shadows CD and the colour way was perfect for my background - I wonder what she's looking at? Of course with this colourway I just have to enter it in DCM's hot and spicy challenge too! Thank you for your visit today.

Tilda Girly but Blue
Wow! Two posts in one day! This one is for the Tilda & Co Challenge which is Girly but blue. I enjoyed doing this one because it reminds me of my eldest daughter who loved blue from she could express an opinion and is very feminine! It's also suitable for Theme Thursday's Stipes Challenge. The Striped paper is K & Co and Tilda is sitting on a cuttlebug embossed frame. To prove that she's a girly girl, she has daimante on her hat and tiny flowers down the long narrow panel and was painted with lovely twinkling H2Os. Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoyed your visit.

Rainbow Lady's bead challenge
I hope you're all having a great Monday - I'm happy because I managed to get some crafting done, in fact.......come closer so that I can whisper.......you might even get another post later! This card is for Rainbow Lady's Challenge which this week is to use beads. It was a great one to set Cynthia because I have beads for man and beast but rarely use them. I decided to go for simple here so I have a white linen card base, a lovely green sparkle card and the topper is from Joanna Sheen's Victorian Companion CD and is decoupaged to two layers although this doesn't show too well on the picture - apologies for which by the way, the battery on my camera is recharging so I had to use my mobile. The beads are threaded onto a piece of narrow white satin ribbon. Cynthia - I had to miss last week's challenge so I deliberately chose this picture for this week in homage to your fairy theme! Thank you for coming to look

Hello to you all - it's good to be back! I'm coming into a busy time so I'm just pleased to have found time to enter the Tanda Teaser challenge this week which is called 'xtra special' and is to be for a special person or occasion etc. This one is really very simple and I've gone for the special person. The stamps are See D's - the lady and Rubbadubbadoo - the sentiment. I've coloured the image with chalks and used chalks on the edges of the paper I stamped her on to. The other papers are from K & Co. Thank you for visiting today.

Black and White
This is another 'one I made earlier' that fits very well for this week's Arty Girlz Challenge, Black and White. I made it for a card swap that had the same theme. It's a black spring card and I used a white parchluscent paper which changes colour very slightly in different lights, that I put through the cuttlebug textile embossing folder on both the diamond and rectangular parts of the card. The stamped image is from Joanna Sheen's Victorian Doiley - Happiness, oval stamp set. It was just stamped with versafine onyx black on white card and mounted onto black card. It was all finished with two cuttlebug corners, two self adhesive pearls, a bow and a tassel. Thank you for coming to take a peek.

Things with wings
I do like to support as many challenges as possible because they give me so much inspiration so I've been having a look through my stock to see what I have that might fit the bill for some. I found this one that I'm entering for Cute Card Thursday's things with wings challenge because I think these two are as cute as they come. All the stamps are Crafty Secrets and thank you for visiting.

Box challenge
Good morning all, I won't be able to post after today till wed/thurs of next week so this may well be my last post until then, I'll have to see how the day pans out. I wanted to share the box I made for this week's Papertake Weekly Challenge using the wonderful tutorial. Once again - thank you for this, I can see me using it again and again. On this occasion, I've made a box to store my flowers in and have used some of them to decorate the outside. The rest is backing paper from dovecraft, ivory card edged with a gold pentouch pen then embossed with the cuttlebug divine swirls folder and a piece of ribbon that I've had so long that I know not from whence it came! I haven't decided yet whether to decorate it further - I have a fancy for a few dragonflies and/or butterflies - but I've run out of time for this week so will just have to cogitate on it for a few days! Thank you for coming to look today.

By the sea
Today I'm entering my first Gothic Arches challenge. I've ummed and ahhed about doing one for a while but this weeks theme was one I couldn't resist! It's called By the sea and gave me the chance to use one of my favourite stamp sets - Joanna Sheen's On the Beach - which I jumped at. It's very simple - just stamped with stone grey stazon and watercoloured with twinkling H2Os although unfortunately the lovely shimmer doesn't show so well on the scan. Thank you for coming to look and I hope you like my first effort.Thank you to Cynthia for pointing out that this also fits the criteria for another challenge - so I'm entering it into the Created Byhand Challenge this week too which is watercolour backgrounds. I'm not getting as much time as I would like for challenges at present so being able to 'double up' means I can still support as many as possible - thank you Cynthia.

Flight of Fancy!
Yesterday I posted a reverse pyramage card and seem to have confused a few people regarding what I did - when I read it again myself, I can see why! I wasn't feeling at my best yesterday and it shows. I decided to make another and take some photos as I went along so that I could do a tutorial about it. I've started a new blog for posting these tutorials on so if you do want to know, you'll find the details for the blog in the side bar. I've done a frame card again - a square one this time and decided to knock one off my christmas list as well as enter the Cardvaarks flight of fancy challenge. The image is from Joanna Sheen's Victorian Christmas CD. I copied the image into publisher so that I could make it the size I wanted and also copied a piece of matching backing paper. This was so that I could print them off as one and all my images would be exactly the same. The stamps are See D's and I've just finished it with two holographic stars. Thank you for coming to look.

Inverse Pyramage
I was in a mood to play today and decided to try inverse pyramage - at least I hope I've chosen the right word here! I decided to make a card in the traditional pyramage way of using the same sized images to start with and cutting them down so that you get less of the image as opposed to keeping the image intact and making it increasingly smaller. I've done this before with medallion stamps but not with an image. I made a box frame card as per the tutorial from Papertake Weekly a couple of weeks ago and this frames the inverse pyramage really well. The image I chose is from Joanna Sheen's Victorian Companion CD this has long been one of my favourite CD's so it's a complete mystery that I hadn't noticed this image before this weekend! It lends itself perfectly to add a caption to enter it for the Tanda Teaser challenge this week which is word play. I've backed the caption pieces onto the same card as the backing card for the inverse pyramage and finished the card with two cuttlebug corners. The added bonus is that by cutting the card with a craft knife, it all remains intact so all that's needed is a second base image and you have two cards for the price of one! I haven't got the second one made into a card yet but can show you the topper ready and waiting. Thank you for coming to look and I hope you like it.

Miniature art
Hello and I hope you're having a great saturday. I can't believe that I haven't been able to post since wednesday! I won't bore you with why, but I've had so many things to interfere with my crafting and blogging this week, that to get this card made and posted feels like a release. This one is for Rainbow Lady's challenge and it's a while since I used shrink plastic but I've enjoyed making this. I used two of my new stampscapes stamps to create this scene, stamping the main cove image with stone grey stazon and the clouds with prussian blue chalk ink. Then I added extra shades of blue with 3 different shades of dry chalks - just sweeping the colours in from the edges with a cotton wool ball. I'm thrilled with the clarity of the shrunk piece. (You can see it in more detail if you click on the picture.) I created the scalloped circles and easel in the design master software and cut them out using the craft robo. I feel like I'm getting to grips with the robo now and have designed a few things over the last couple of days which I'm delighted with because I don't have to worry about copyright! The sentiment is a rubbadubbadoo stamp and a cuttlebug panel and narrow white satin ribbon bow finish it off. Thank you for stretching me yet again Cynthia!

Perfect Timing
Morning all - it's a nice change for me to be posting in the morning, although I must confess to originally planning this one for yesterday but the day ran away from me! I've finally made a breakthrough with the craft robo and have created some scalloped templates so I am quite chuffed with myself for that - still a long way to go but at last I feel that I'm doing things by design rather than accident or by using a template created by someone else and because I was so pleased with myself I was determined to make use of one of them with my new purchase of two unmounted stampscape sets that arrived yesterday - I have long admired Cynthia's (Rainbow Lady) work with these and finally got around to getting some and I am dedicating this first piece to her for all the inspiration she has given me. You will find examples of her work in the archives on her blog. You might wonder what all this has to do with the title of today's post - well, having made the card I discovered that it fits in perfectly with the Papertake Weekly Challenge this week which is called 'Making Waves' and we are to use scallops or zig zags and also with the Wednesday Stamper challenge which is trees - perfect! I stamped the images in versafine onyx black and coloured the picture with Derwent inktense pencils. Thank you for coming to look and I hope you enjoy it.

As small business owners, we're all looking for ways to support our community during this season of giving.
Whether it be a local organization or a global cause, providing a charitable donation is not only good for the soul, but also for boosting company morale and customer perception. Not to mention, the benefits of that beloved tax deduction.
If you make a charitable donation before December 31, you may be able to write it off on your 2013 taxes.
Sponsoring a local charity event, donating inventory or services, making a cash donation, or volunteering, are all considered forms of charitable giving.
Not all charitable contributions are tax deductible; only those made to qualified organizations are eligible. Qualified organizations must be legitimate, public charities and generally include religious, educational, scientific, literary and charitable groups. Most operate as federally approved 501(c)(3) organizations, designating them as genuine and responsible to all non-profit regulations.
Knowing the IRS tax code is complex (bah humbug!), we can't stress enough how important it is consult your bookkeeper or CPA before taking the plunge. They will confirm what constitutes a charitable deduction and how to accurately file your claim.
May the spirit of the holiday bring out your giving heart.
Warm wishes and continued success to you from the ProLedge family.

STILLWATER, Okla. – The familiar refrain throughout Georgia's offseason was now that the big stars are gone from the offense, a large group of players must work together to keep the Bulldogs' attack productive.
Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno were superb talents, the remaining Bulldogs would say, but this group is capable of teaming up to replace the substantial production from those two first-round NFL picks.
After witnessing the pitiful offensive debut to the post-Stafford/Moreno era, however, it's reasonable to ask exactly who is capable of filling that void? Georgia's 10 points and 257 yards of offense in Saturday's loss to Oklahoma State provide little reason for hope.
There is almost nothing to like about the offense's performance after an 80-yard touchdown drive on Georgia's opening possession. Following that impressive series, the Bulldogs managed all of 177 yards on 50 plays against the worst defense they'll face all year this side of lowly homecoming cupcake Tennessee Tech.
Georgia fans should hope the viral infection that jeopardized quarterback Joe Cox's status for the game was to blame for his sluggish play. Cox threw one interception – along with a couple more near-misses – and lost a fumble that allowed the Cowboys to ice their win with an insurance touchdown. Rarely did he look like a player who can lead the team for a late winning score against a Southeastern Conference defense.
It's unfair to say Cox isn't the man for the job after this performance, and I refuse to believe that yet. Not after suffering an illness that surely affected his focus. Not after going two years and 11 months between starting a game. And not while Georgia is breaking in so many new players, including Cox himself, in more prominent roles in the offense.
But while Cox will probably take the bulk of the blame – that's the way it works with quarterbacks – it's still safe to say his offensive teammates didn't fare much better.
The veteran offensive line that should have dominated the line of scrimmage didn't come close to doing so. Richard Samuel made a 19-yard run on the opening possession, but that was Georgia's only rush that covered more than 10 yards. Rarely were there gaping holes for Samuel and the other runners to exploit.
Samuel made adequate use of his first significant work. He carried the ball 20 times – his previous career high was eight attempts – for 87 yards. But he simply has to prove himself capable of collecting yards after contact, and he hasn't done that thus far.
Likewise, A.J. Green made a key 29-yard catch on third down to extend Georgia's opening possession, but did very little afterwards. He finished the day with three more catches for a total of 23 yards.
And what about the other receivers who were supposed to take some of the heat off of Green? Orson Charles made two catches for 46 yards, but failed to make a couple more grabs. Michael Moore caught Georgia's opening touchdown pass, but finished with two receptions for 6 yards. Aside from Green and Charles, the entire team accounted for only 64 receiving yards.
Green pointed to the relative inexperience of the offensive skill players as the reason this wasn't the sparkling debut the Bulldogs might have liked – and it's a valid point.
"We've got a lot of young guys playing who just didn't get a chance to play last year," Green said. "We're just trying to work the kinks out, and I think we're only gonna get better as the season goes along."
And maybe they will. Green and Georgia coach Mark Richt both pointed out that the Bulldogs were close to breaking a big play on more than one occasion.
"Richard was a shoestring tackle away from breaking a long one," Green said. "We've got Joe, he just needs a little bit more time, sometimes, to get the ball off. We've got some receivers that can make a play, like the play Mike made. We've just got to work some more young guys in there."
Maybe it really was a case of first-game jitters for the new players expected to play significant roles. Maybe Green is correct that the green youngsters are on the verge of ripening after a disappointing first effort.
The Bulldogs had better hope that will be the case. Because if Georgia's offense doesn't quickly identify dependable contributors – and then put the ball in their hands at every opportunity – this will be a long season.

text: SEOUL, Jan 16 (Reuters) - Seoul shares are likely to hover around current levels on Wednesday on lingering concerns about corporate earnings and demand for smartphones, despite better-than-expected economic data from the United States. "There's no real momentum in the market before China's fourth-quarter GDP figures on Friday, so shares are likely to coast, with individual stocks aligning with earnings expectations," said Kim Sung-hwan, an analyst at Bookook Securities. Japan's Nikkei business daily reported on Tuesday that Apple Inc has asked suppliers to roughly halve supplies of LCD panels for the January-March period from initial plans, sending shares in tech stocks and suppliers lower in South Korea, Japan and the United States. U.S. stocks rebounded in a late-day rally after data showed retail sales in December increased 0.5 percent, following a 0.4 percent rise the prior month, beating economists' expectations for a gain of only 0.2 percent. Foreign selling helped push the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) down 1.2 percent on Tuesday to 1,983.74 points, on Tuesday, recording its lowest close since Dec. 26. ------------------MARKET SNAPSHOT @ 22:28 GMT------------------- INSTRUMENT LAST PCT CHG NET CHG S&P 500 1,472.34 0.11% 1.660 USD/JPY 88.77 -0.01% -0.010 10-YR US TSY YLD 1.836 -- -0.012 SPOT GOLD $1,679.05 0.03% 0.550 US CRUDE $93.28 -0.91% -0.860 DOW JONES 13534.89 0.20% 27.57 ASIA ADRS 134.79 -0.44% -0.60 ------------------------------------------------------------->Do w,S&P 500 inch up with retailers,Apple drag again >Bond prices rise on U.S. debt ceiling jitters >Yen advances on Japan official's comment;euro slide >Oil slip as German data, US debt ceiling worries ---STOCKS TO WATCH--- **DAEWOO SHIPBUILDING & MARINE ENGINEERING ** Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering confirmed on Tuesday it had submitted a bid for a project on the man-made Upper Zakum island in the United Arab Emirates, part of an effort to ramp up production, but said there had been no further developments. **POSCO ** POSCO said on Tuesday that it would consider joining a defensive bid by South Korean shipbuilders to buy France's GTT (Gaztransport & Technigaz), but added that it had not been approached by the shipbuilders.

NH revenues lag $11M behind estimates for February
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � For the second consecutive month, New Hampshire's tax receipts are lagging behind projections.
Administrative Services Commissioner Linda Hodgdon said Friday that revenue collections in February were $11 million less than expected. January tax receipts were $17 million less than projected.
Business and communications taxes accounted for $8 million of the $11 million.
Business tax receipts were more than $4 million below estimates largely due to tax refunds.
The communications tax also was $4 million below estimates. Hodgdon attributed it to a new law barring taxes on internet access. She said communications tax receipts are $13 million less than expected so far this year.
Total revenues for the year lag $41 million behind estimates largely due to unpaid hospital taxes.

I Read Story - Poem by Hasmukh Amathalal
I read a story and admired
The spirit behind it and stared
Why was it lacking real spirit?
Why was husband looking unfit?
I got no answer to query
I felt sad and so sorry
It added more to worry
It was adding more loads to carry
After years of marriage
If we fail to read out holy page
And translate it into action
We got to be prepared for loose face and reaction
Whatever may happen at anytime?
Marriage has to be kept intact all the times
It is not the wife alone but children
They expect no break up all of sudden
It is no good to think at last time
When enough water has flowed before time
Only fortunate couples survive the onslaught
Otherwise life is bitterly fought
Female always sacrifices
To fulfill her promises
It is male part that errs
And later on runs away or fears
Only one lesson can be drawn
No patience should be lost or withdrawn
God is kind enough to grant wisdom
Such incidences do occur but wracks relation seldom

Says he stands in opposition to Communist regime's actions as it mirrors his own Administration's
Steve Watson
Thursday, August 7, 2008
In a scenario resembling that of the pot calling the kettle black, President Bush has hit out at the Chinese government for its crackdown on dissent during the Olympics, while the Communist regime is aping a "free speech zone" policy created by Bush's own administration.
In a speech from Seoul yesterday Bush stated:
"The United States believes the people of China deserve the fundamental liberty that is the natural right of all human beings.
America stands in firm opposition to China's detention of political dissidents, human rights advocates and religious activists.
We speak out for a free press, freedom of assembly, and labour rights not to antagonize China's leaders, but because trusting its people with greater freedom is the only way for China to develop its full potential."
Bush made the remarks hours before he left for Beijing to attend tonight's Games opening ceremony. Critics have suggested that his presence as the first US president to attend an Olympics abroad, is providing legitimacy to the ruling Communist Party's crackdown on freedom-of-speech advocates.

Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Mississippi
Recently I had my car reposessed by the bank. they sold the car and now I owe a total of $15,000. The bank had emailed me with an agreement that I could pay half of the loan and be clear of all other debt. (loan with an ex) I want to email them with and agreement that I can pay $3500 in cash, and the rest in a loan over the next year. Which they said could be worked out. Can they at any time come and garnish my wages after this agreement.
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: Bankruptcy
Please be aware that what you are doing represents the "forgiveness of debt". Since there is no dispute over the amount due, you will likely get a 1099 from the bank for the amount that they wrote off which will be ordinary income to you on your income tax returns. If they are willing to agree that the balance is disputed in writing and that the sum paid is a compromise of the dispute then you may not have forgiveness and therefore, no income but it must be in writing by both that the amount due is in dispute. By the way, if they agree that the loan balance is disputed then a compromise should relieve you of any further liability. Dennis

Shimmering silver exhibits old and brand new objects from Nationalmuseum's collections of silver. Discover how the light plays on the surfaces and shapes. See how silver has influenced and been influenced by art in other materials and techniques.
Epergne étagère, 1861 Firma Gustaf Möllenborg. Leaf Bowl 2002,Caroline Lindholm. Vortex, 1989 Torun Bülow-Hübe.
27 January 2011 – March 2012.
The Shimmering silver exhibition is part of the project Museum in a new light, which considers how Nationalmuseum's collections may be exhbitited in a renovated museum building. The common thread running through the project i light, and how different kinds of light affect the appreciation of art.
Silver is a material that can be worked in almost infinite ways. The hard metal can be polished, decorated with patterns in relief and enamel or left with the marks of the hammer. The exhbition looks more closely at the various techniques used by silversmiths. The popularity of silver has shifted through history. It was desirable in magnificent interiors of the 17th century and detested by the socialist 1968 movement in equal measure. The exhibition presents silverware from the 1550s to the present day. The modern day is represented by works suck as Caroline Lindholm's leaf bowl from 2002, Agnieszka Knap's necklace from 1999 and Erik Tidäng's vase from 2009. All the objects in the exhbition come from Nationalmuseum's own collection.
Parfymflacon, 1979, Kristian Nilsson
With so many silver objects produced specifically for the dinner table, the exhibition also contains an installation in the form of a laid table. On display is a selection of silver, porcelain and glass from varoius periods. Our own time is represented by Erika Lagerbielke's glass service for the Crown Princess Couple from 2010.

Call For Papers - Deadline 31 July 2012
Conference on Financial Stability, Bank Risk and Regulation in the Light of the Crisis
Luxembourg, 15-16 November 2012
Co-organised by the Luxembourg School of Finance of the University of Luxembourg, the School of Business of the Fordham University, the Journal of Financial Stability, the Central Bank of Luxembourg, the Bank of Finland and the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey.
OVERVIEW: The repercussions of the crisis on the financial sector of the economy have decreased capital market liquidity and toughened access to funding for financial institutions, corporate firms as well as for several sovereign nation-states. One of the factors which played a crucial role in the build-up of severe structural weaknesses and adverse market dynamics during the pre-crisis period was the inefficient or loose regulatory and supervisory framework of the financial system. For this reason, a considerable reform of the existing framework is under way. The new regulatory and supervisory landscape is bringing with it new prudential rules and stricter accounting standards, increased corporate governance, and the establishment of new institutions that would serve to promote these goals.
In the aforementioned context, one of the relationships which has come to the forefront is that between monetary policy and financial stability. The conduct of monetary policy, interpreted broadly as encompassing both interest rate policy as well as measures that operate via the central banks' balance sheets, was at the vanguard of the authorities' responses to the crisis. Almost all major central banks have cut policy rates after the onset of the crisis, in some cases to levels approaching zero. Moreover, central bank authorities have used their balance sheets to address the malfunctioning of money and credit markets, virtually replacing the interbank money market. Several central banks worldwide have also been involved in policy measures aimed at recapitalising the banking system. All the above policy responses to the crisis demonstrate the close link between the conduct of monetary policy and the maintenance of financial stability.
The Luxembourg School of Finance of the University of Luxembourg, the School of Business of the Fordham University, the Journal of Financial Stability, the Central Bank of Luxembourg, the Bank of Finland, and the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey are inviting submissions to a two-day Conference titled "Financial Stability, Bank Risk and Regulation in the Light of the Crisis" that will be hosted at the convention centre of the Central Bank of Luxembourg, which is located in the heart of the city of Luxembourg. The Conference aims to bring together scholars, policy makers, and practitioners to exchange and advance their latest research on banking and financial markets, monetary economics and financial stability.
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: The two keynote speakers of the Conference will be:
Professor George G. Pennacchi (University of Illinois)
Dr. Mark Carey (Federal Reserve Board)
PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Completed papers which look at recent developments in the above-mentioned research areas and have either a theoretical or an empirical focus are invited to be submitted for possible presentation in the Conference. Please submit your work (in a word or pdf format)to Nikolaos Papanikolaou ( email@example.com). Submissions should be received by Tuesday 31 July 2012. Authors will be informed of the status of their submissions in mid-September.
FURTHER INFORMATION: No registration fee will be charged to Conference participants presenting or discussing a paper. Limited financial support is available for participants in the programme.
A special issue of the Journal of Financial Stability on the Conference theme will be published under the Guest Editorship of Professor Christian C.P. Wolff.

In recent years, states have focused much attention on student achievement, but little on how many students ultimately leave school with a diploma in hand. This is changing: Nearly every governor has pledged to develop tougher ways to measure graduation rates at the same time that the No Child Left Behind Act has begun requiring states to hold schools and districts accountable for the results.
Of course, one prerequisite for shepherding more students successfully to graduation means keeping them in school in the first place.
Fortunately, research offers important lessons for districts that decide to tackle the dropout problem head on. We now know a surprising amount about how to identify potential dropouts, and how to keep students in school and on track to graduate. Districts should pay close attention to these lessons when developing plans to raise graduation rates. Plans that are most likely to be effective are comprehensive and address the following major components:
Here are the highlights of these components:
Prediction: How to identify students who are likely to drop out
Intervention: What to do for high-risk students once they're identified
Prevention: How schools can minimize risk factors
Recovery: What to do when intervention and prevention aren't enough

It's always big news when NBC adds a new show to their coveted Thursday night lineup and this fall, that show is Community, a comedy series about a lawyer who has to return to college when he finds out his degree was deemed invalid.
Below is NBC's description for the series:
Community - From Emmy Award-winning directors Joe and Anthony Russo (Arrested Development) comes Community, a smart comedy series about higher education…and lower expectations. The student body at Greendale Community College is made up of high-school losers, newly- divorced housewives, and old people who want to keep their minds active as they circle the drain of eternity. Within these not-so-hallowed halls, Community focuses on a band of misfits, at the center of which is a fast-talkin' lawyer whose degree has been revoked (Joel McHale, The Soup), who form a study group and, in Breakfast Club fashion, end up learning a lot more about themselves than they do about their course work.
In addition to McHale, the series also stars Gillian Jacobs (The Book of Daniel); Yvette Nicole Brown (Rules of Engagement); Danny Pudi (Greek); Alison Brie (Mad Men); and comedy legend Chevy Chase (Chuck). Community is produced by Krasnoff Foster Entertainment, Harmonious Claptrap and Murray Hill in association with Sony Pictures Television. Russ Krasnoff (The Soloist), Dan Harmon (The Sarah Silverman Program), Joe Russo (Arrested Development), Anthony Russo (Arrested Development) and Gary Foster (The Soloist) serve as executive producers. Joe and Anthony Russo directed the pilot that was written by Dan Harmon.
Joel McHale on NBC! I'm in! Anyone who regularly watches The Soup knows McHale's got the whole fast-talking thing down. But on the popular E! clip show, McHale is host. Now we'll get to see whether or not the man can act and whether he's as funny in this role as he is when he's delivering quick-witted quips.
Community will air Thursdays on NBC (9:30-10 p.m. ET).

Salt water flooding kills wildlife on Kent nature reserve
As families continue to count the cost of the storms which hit the south east - one nature reserve in Kent is counting the environmental cost. Wardens say the recent flooding plunged Gazen Salts in Sandwich into crisis.
The warden says the influx of salt water killed fish and plant life - and has left the ground so sodden that even a stiff breeze could knock over mature trees. Sarah Saunders spoke to Karen Potter and Brian Scott of the Gazen Salts Nature Reserve.

Great plugin, congratulations.Please keep it minimalistic. Just three small additions that may bust productivity.1) hnote /t [text] ; search something in the title only, now there is /k for keywords, but not a specifier to search in title only.2) add a simple way (upfront) to switch among different databases, instead to have just one.3) add ^C in the window search results to copy the note itself (now it copies just the date).Many thanks!

introducing Boolsa
The anti-theft smart backpack with 20 innovative features designed for today's road warrior.
Even if you are separated from your bag temporarily, you can arm the Boolsa 's security alarm via the app: with a touch of a button, you'll know if someone moves or tries to open your bag.
When wearing the Boolsa Backpack on your back, the bus, or the subway, you can activate this mode to receive a notification or sound an alert if someone tries to disturb the contents of your bag or the bag itself.
All of Boolsa's awesome security features can be armed or disarmed automatically -- by your presence! All you have to do is simply be within range of your Boolsa Backpack.
Built-in 10,000 mA battery with no-hassle cable holder. Using a chipset from world-renowned Texas Instruments, the device has over 9 types of protection for the circuitry, making it perfect for on-the-go use and with enough capacity to charge an iPhone7 over five times.
In an emergency, pressing the panic button will sound the alarm and an SOS message with your location info will be sent to your designated emergency contact.
The LED light strip lights up whenever an alert is activated, or can be turned on for additional safety in the dark.
Even if you misplace your Boolsa, don't worry, your smartphone will show you the last known location on a map so you'll know exactly where you left it.
Once you register your Boolsa using your email address and password, it's secured for life. Even if your bag is stolen, the thief will not be able to access the features, and you will receive a notification with the location info if unauthorized access occurs.
Use your smartphone's Bluetooth connection to remind you whenever your bag leaves your vicinity, so you won't have to worry about losing your belongings ever again.
When going out for a casual event, or simply a stroll, use the detachable grip bag to carry the essentials. No more need for moving your belongings to a separate tote to carry, and no need to pack an extra casual bag when on a business trip.
The German-engineered Fidlock magnetic snap buckle keeps things secure while maintaining ease of use.
With Boolsa's checkpoint friendly design, there's no need for removing your laptop at airport security checkpoints. Simply open the pouch 180 degrees, and you'll breeze through security and be on to your way to your next destination.
Disclaimer: The video above is to demonstrate how a checkpoint friendly bag works.

I ordered the 5 Teas For $5 pack from Verdant Tea last month and it just arrived!
First steep, 10 sec: Whoa chocolate! The more I sip, the more I taste fudge.
Second, 10: Chocolate aroma is gone completely. It smells like sesame. I ordered Adagio's Sesame tea last month and I wished it smelled as good as this. I have a feeling I'm going to have to order this. Tastes like honey, really smooth.
3, 40 s: Chocolate flavour is back, but lighter.
4, 1 min: Sesame taste
5, 1:30 …regular black tea
6, 2 min: so sweet! Amazing chocolate and honey in the aftertaste. Like rice but not in a bad way.
And I lost track after that. I was so delighted with this tea. I didn't expect it to live up to expectations but it surpassed them!

BOSTON (September 30, 2013) -- Bree Aldridge, Ph.D., microbiologist and bioengineer at Tufts University School of Medicine, has received a 2013 National Institutes of Health Director's New Innovator Award, which supports creative new scientists working on innovative biomedical research projects. Aldridge is an assistant professor in molecular biology and microbiology at Tufts University School of Medicine, a member of the Molecular Microbiology and Immunology program faculties at the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at Tufts, and adjunct assistant professor in biomedical engineering at Tufts University School of Engineering. She has been awarded a five-year, $1.5 million grant for her research focused on improving drug treatments for tuberculosis.
The NIH Director's New Innovator Award is a component of the High Risk-High Reward program supported by the NIH Common Fund, which helps advance visionary research that has the potential to transform scientific fields and greatly impact human health.
Aldridge's research addresses a major obstacle in controlling tuberculosis, which is the lengthy multi-drug therapy currently required to effectively cure the disease. Due to the prolonged treatment, adherence to the drug therapy can be difficult. In addition, when these drugs are misused or mismanaged, multi-drug resistance can develop. To improve health outcomes for patients, and reduce the emergence of drug-resistant strains of the disease, she hopes to shorten and simplify treatments for tuberculosis. The Aldridge lab includes a multidisciplinary team of researchers who combine molecular approaches with mathematical modeling to study the bacterium that causes tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that spreads through the air and typically affects the lungs, but can attack major organs of the body. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 10,000 cases of tuberculosis were reported in the United States in 2012 and the disease affects one third of the world's population. Most individuals who are infected do not become sick, while others will develop an active form of the disease. If not treated properly, the disease can be fatal. The World Health Organization notes that it is the second leading cause of death from an infectious disease worldwide.
"Bree Aldridge's New Innovator Award recognizes her commitment to addressing a serious global health issue through scientific research and is an example of how members of the Sackler School faculty continue to strive to solve problems of biomedical importance," said Naomi Rosenberg, Ph.D., dean of the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences and vice dean for research at Tufts University School of Medicine.
Aldridge is one of 41 recipients of the 2013 NIH Director's New Innovator Award. Applicants are reviewed by a multidisciplinary group of experts, and recipients are selected by the NIH Director based on recommendations by the review group.
Established in 2007, the NIH Director's New Innovator Award program is designed specifically for researchers in the early stages of their careers who have not yet received a Research Project Grant or equivalent NIH grant, to conduct exceptionally innovative research.

The Diabetes Camps Association (KZN) was formed to provide support in the form of camps for children with diabetes. As a wider range of support was established, this organization transformed into The Sugarbabe Foundation. The Foundation seeks to support children from infancy to 18yrs, from different socio-economic groups and from all ethnic groups. The objectives of the foundation are to:
Provide support to children with diabetes and their families through education and information.
Provide psychosocial support to children with diabetes by hosting events where children and their families would meet, network and participate in games and other activities.
Raise awareness among the public of the magnitude of the problem of childhood diabetes so that early signs and symptoms can be recognized and medical intervention sought.
Activities include camps, picnics and support of the extended family and care givers. Regular camps are an important and integral part of the management of children with diabetes. The aim of the camps is for the child to get to know other diabetic children, learn self-care skills and self-discipline, learning how to cope better with diabetes and to have fun! Camps will include adventure camps with an emphasis on teamwork, personal challenges, learning about nature, fun and games and day camps for toddlers with diabetes.
These activities require support in many forms including financial and material support. Fortunately, the foundation has been supported by many companies, organizations and individuals.

SANDY, Utah -- On Saturday night here at Rio Tinto Stadium, there was a collective muttering of "Oh, yeah, that's what Real Salt Lake look like when they have their first-choice midfield."
It took half an hour to get all the parts moving as they were supposed to, but once everything was synced up, RSL showed why they were the trendy pick to win the league entering the season. They dominated Seattle in a comprehensive 3-0 win, taking 55 percent of the possession and completing passes and an 80 percent clip.
And it was capped off by a vintage performance from Javier Morales – two assists and hard work on both sides of the ball – the midfield playmaker who's still working his way back to full fitness.
"I think it's taken me a long time to come back like normal, but I think tonight that I felt very, very good," Morales said of his 79 minutes. "I'm very happy about that, but more for the team. We played a very good game, and we won – so that is the most important thing."
While the team will be happy with the three points, the fans were thrilled with two spectacular RSL goals.
The first – the game's opener – came in the 41st minute. The Claret and Cobalt took a throw-in and strung together 14 straight passes, a sequence that was finished off when striker Álvaro Saborío tapped Chris Wingert's cross into the net.
The key play, though, came from Morales. Operating in the center-left channel, he got the Seattle defense backpedaling and, once they committed, found Wingert in space on the overlap. Morales hit the fullback in stride, splitting Seattle defenders James Riley and Jeff Parke.
"What Javi does is take hard plays and make them look very, very easy," Wingert explained. "That's not an easy pass he made, but that guy's got the best vision around. Once I got the ball, I knew that if I hit it hard to the back post, either it was going to go in, or they were going to knock it in, or someone would be there to put it in."
It was Saborío who got the final touch, his first of two goals on the night. The first was not without controversy as it appeared he was offside when Wingert played his cross. But replays showed that the referee was right to allow the goal.
Saborío's second contained not an ounce of controversy. In fact, it should be immediately added on his lifetime highlight reel.
Again it was Morales who made the play, outwrestling Lamar Neagle deep on the right flank and then hitting a cross low and hard across the six-yard box. Saborio cut across Parke and back-heeled it past a stunned Kasey Keller for the 2-0 lead.
When asked if that kind of finish came down to pure instinct, Saborio smiled and shrugged.
"I just tried to touch the ball and put it in," Saborío explained. "When you have guys like Javi and Kyle [Beckerman], it's nice. All you have to do is make the run and they'll make the pass."

The many-splendored phenomenon known as Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is coming next week to the South Bay. The national tour of composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice's juggernaut musical will have an eight-performance run May 27 through June 1 at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts, 255 Almaden Blvd.
Starring in this retold story about the favored son of Jacob from the Book of Genesis are real-life couple Diana DeGarmo, who plays the Narrator, and Ace Young as Joseph.
Andy Blankenbuehler, a Tony Award winner for his choreography of In the Heights, directs and choreographs.
Pop culture fans know DeGarmo and Young as alums of TV's American Idol. She was the season 3 runner-up, he was a finalist in season 5. Both ended up on Broadway following their stints in the talent competition, then fate threw them together in a 2009 production of Hair.
The singers weren't quite done with the reality show that shot them to fame, however. Young proposed to a gobsmacked DeGarmo on the 2012 season finale of American Idol; they got hitched last June in Los Angeles.
For some, witnessing the newlyweds' stage demeanor will be reason enough to check out Dreamcoat. Others, though, will want to see this precursor to Jesus Christ Superstar, also created by Lloyd Webber and Rice. There are plenty of familiar songs to hum along to, such as "Any Dream Will Do," "Close Every Door" and "Those Canaan Days."
Ever since Dreamcoat's introduction–it was a concept album in 1969 and made it to Broadway in 1982–it's become a staple of community theaters everywhere, although overwhelmingly in North America. That shouldn't be too surprising, though, given the source material.
Tickets are $21 to $78 at ticketmaster.com.

ECF National Schools finals (8 July)
Neil Graham
Both Kishan Lakhani and Oliver Exton were unavailable for the ECF National Schools Finals held at Upppingham School on 4–5 July. The result was that Nottingham High School lost their title to Millfield School in the Final. As the High School had two teams in the competition and in the finals, they were unable, according to the rules, to bring in players from the B team to replace those in the A team. Although Joel Lamy substituted he lost both games.
In the Plate competition, the High School's B team was beaten in the semi-final by Wilson's School, but bounced back to take third place by beating Leeds Grammar School.
National Club Championship – Minor Final (8 July)
Neil Graham
After beating Lancaster in the semi-finals by 2–2 – the win came on board count – Ashfield played Hackney in the final after the London side had also progressed on board count. The ECF Controller chose Syston as the venue, so both teams duly turned up there on 6 July.
In the semi-final the only Ashfield winner was Alan Robinson as captain Bob Taylor was unavailable. However, Bob was back for the final and unfortunately played a combination with the moves in the wrong order. He lost a piece and also the game, so Ashfield were one down.
The remaining games were destined to go the whole distance. Phil had an equal game, but his opponent misplayed what should have been a drawn ending and the match was tied at 1–1. Neil scrambled to the first time control with half a minute to spare. The ending was a complex N + 7 vs. B + 6, and after a frantic half hour when the local player played a further 43 moves in ever-increasing time trouble, the bishop found itself trying to prevent pawns on f2 and a2 queening. So with about 45 seconds remaining the second Ashfield win was scored. Unfortunately, Stan had lost a piece on Board 1, and in an ending of N + Ps v Ps, the London player was able to give the knight back for a pawn and create an unstoppable brace of pawns. So the result was 2–2 and Hackney won on board count. All the games were won with black; so much for winning the toss!

Prosecutors have amended the charges against a man suspected of setting a series of fires in Northampton, including one blaze that killed a World War II veteran and his adult son. A Hampshire County grand jury handed up a new indictment Tuesday charging Anthony Baye with six counts of misleading a police officer. Each charge relates to a separate interaction Baye had with law enforcement, including two on the morning of the fires on Dec. 27, 2009, and in subsequent interviews. The Daily Hampshire Gazette reported that charges of attempting to burn a dwelling and attempting to burn a motor vehicle were dismissed. Baye, 26, faces two murder charges in a fire that killed Paul Yeskie Sr., 81, and Paul Yeskie Jr., 39. Baye has pleaded not guilty. (AP)
