Student loans: 5 steps to pay down your debt
Student loans should be paramount in your mind if you've recently graduated college. The school halls are empty, the weekly speeches for your English class are complete, and you're cleaning up after your graduation party. Now comes the hard part: paying for the education that you've just completed. Where to begin? Collect all your loan paperwork and then follow these five smart steps to paying off your student loans.
– Maura Kastberg is a financial-aid expert and director of student enrollment at RSC, Your College Prep Expert, a college- and career-prep service based in Schenectady, N.Y.
1. Break it down
Student loans can be daunting at first glance, but the more you can compartmentalize the process, the easier paying them down gets. The first step is to break down your student debt into three sections: federal loans, private loans, and loans that may be eligible for loan forgiveness. It's important to keep these separate, especially if you are trying to save money through loan forgiveness or consolidation.
Once you've separated out your student loans, it will be easier to prioritize your debt. When paying off debt, pay off your credit card debt first (this debt is the most expensive). Next, pay off your loans from private lenders. These loans typically have a variable interest rate. Even though the current variable rate is low, this could change dramatically as the economy improves. Then pay your federal loans. This will give you the most savings long term.
When setting up your repayment, you can get a slightly lower rate if you opt for automatic payments to be deducted from your bank account. Using your tax refunds (don't forget to deduct your student loan interest) or taking a part-time job are good ways to pay down your student loans.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Broderick Green's first season at Arkansas had been a quiet one. Michael Smith was the team's top running back, and Green hadn't really distinguished himself in short-yardage situations.
Then Smith hurt his hamstring, giving Green a chance.
"Coach tells us all the time - make the most of our opportunities and be ready," Green said.
Green certainly made the most of his nine carries Saturday night, rushing for 134 yards and two touchdowns in a 63-27 win over Eastern Michigan. The highlight was a 99-yard scoring run in the second quarter that put the Razorbacks ahead 35-0.
And Green wasn't the only runner who shone in Smith's absence. Knile Davis also rushed for two touchdowns on a night Arkansas substituted liberally.
"We blocked well and our running backs did a nice job," coach Bobby Petrino said.
Green transferred from Southern California, saying he wanted to be closer to his grandmother, who was sick. The NCAA allowed him to play immediately, without sitting out a year. Smith, who rushed for 1,000 yards last season, is still the team's best rushing threat, but the 6-foot-2, 248-pound Green has been used in short-yardage spots with mixed results.
Smith missed his second game in three weeks Saturday, so Green, Davis and freshman Ronnie Wingo Jr. handled most of the running. On first down from the Arkansas 1-yard line, Green found a hole and then outran the defense to the left sideline. He appeared to run out of steam a bit at the Eastern Michigan 40, but a couple defenders came up empty trying to tackle him.
Eastern Michigan entered the weekend ranked No. 1 in the nation against the pass and dead last against the run. The Eagles are still last against the run, but they fell to No. 4 against the pass.
Ryan Mallett completed all 10 of his attempts in the first half and threw for a pair of second-quarter touchdowns to Joe Adams. He finished 14 of 16 for 248 yards and three TDs.
"I thought Ryan executed really well," Petrino said. "He was focused and practiced hard all week."
Adams, back after missing three games because of a mild stroke, caught three passes for 109 yards to end a scary month on a positive note.
"I knew I was going to be back at some point," Adams said. "I appreciate life more in general now. I don't take life for granted and I'm blessed to still be here on this field and back out there playing with my team."
Tyler Wilson relieved Mallett in the second quarter and again toward the end of the game, going 5 of 11 with an interception. It was a sloppy finish for the Razorbacks, who allowed Eastern Michigan's Kyle McMahon to throw three touchdown passes long after the outcome was decided.
Petrino said he wanted to remove his starters earlier than he did - but Eastern Michigan started scoring.
"Our plan was to get the ball back and get our ones out," Petrino said. "Unfortunately our defense did not hold up their end and we had to leave our ones in there."
Arkansas was coming off back-to-back losses to Florida and Mississippi. This was the first of four straight home games for the Razorbacks, who face South Carolina next weekend.
"We're ready to get back into (Southeastern Conference) play," wide receiver Lucas Miller said. "We know that these are the games that count and (Saturday's) game gives us a lot of confidence going into next week's game against South Carolina. We know we're going to have to be ready to play next week, but we got over the hump today and it felt great."

Milli Shoulder bag
I love all things Sherpani and this shoulder bag is no exception. It is roomy and flexible and I like that the shoulder strap is long enough to wear it across my body. I also love the colors it came in.

Google has put out a new group of videos about various webspam topics. Three of these are specifically about unnatural links. Here's one on unnatural links from your site, and here's one on unnatural links to your site.
While both of these videos featured Matt Cutts with other Googlers, this one is just Cutts himself talking about unnatural links and their impact.
"Over time, we've gotten more granular, and our approaches have become more sophisticated, and so as a result, if you think perhaps that your site overall is good, but there might be some bad links (it's not all bad links, but a portion bad links), then we might be taking targeted action on just those links. And that can be bad links or links that you might not think of as typically bad."
He goes on to talk about various examples. If you've got about ten minutes to spare, you'll probably want to give it a watch.

Tom Hiddleston Surprises Kids At A Thor Screening, My Heart Grows Three Sizes
If you created a drinking game where you did a shot every time Tom Hiddleston did something sweet and adorable, you'd be in a lot of trouble. I don't think a day goes by where he doesn't put a smile on somebody's face, especially recently since he's been out and about promoting his new movie Thor: The Dark World. After reading about his surprise appearance at a kids' screening of the movie last night in New York City, my heart has expanded, not only as a representation of my renewed faith in humanity, but also simply to make more room for Tom to take up residence there.
Tom flew in from London yesterday to hang out with a bunch of kids for a special charity screening of Thor: The Dark World on Halloween night, co-hosted by Disney and The New York Daily News. The event was honoring charities Variety the Children's Charity of New York and The Children's Aid Society. Tom reportedly announced "I am Loki and I am filled with glorious purpose" as he made his entrance, and he posed for adorable pictures with the kids in the audience.
Tom apparently landed at the airport just a couple of hours before he was scheduled to appear, and he told the News how excited he was to be there.
"To see that enthusiasm, to see them clap and cheer, wearing Loki T-shirts and swinging hammers, that was really gratifying."
That's not all, you guys. I know, I don't know if I can handle any more loveliness, but I'm going to try for Tom's sake. Tom explained that he has worked with both the charities involved.
"There are armies of people behind the scenes who do tireless work on behalf of children all over the world. So it's nothing for me to turn up and introduce a screening for them. I hope it's a nice reward."
He can act, he can dance, he can do great impressions, he can surprise children at charity events. Is there anything Tom Hiddleston can't do? Make someone feel sad, probably. It doesn't look like that's on his resume.

I spoke with a buddy of mine at USFWS about DNA in cases. Granted, this case is not a USFWS, but a Utah case, however I doubt the procedures necessarily vary that much. Basically, he said that they did DNA even prior to having suspects or warrants depending on the seriousness/priority of the case, which I found interesting given the time and effort involved. In fact, he said they may do whole workups on DNA, serology, hair, feathers, hide, etc. as needed even before there is an actual suspect if the case is assigned as being high priority.
Determining priority can depend on numerous factors. Certain types of animal cases often take precedent over others, such as if a lot of carcasses of animals are found or if the animal is a high status animal such as a bald eagle that has been shot. Then there are the aspects of the investigation such as if the animals are potentially linked to a larger or ongoing case, such as trafficing in poached animal parts (i.e. bear gall bladders to the Asian market, for example).
Those which are not tested on a priority status have various tissue samples taken and stored for future testing/analysis as needed.
So did they do DNA apriori the warrant in this case? Maybe or maybe not, but they can get DNA from antler and identify individual animals. So antlers can be tied directly to the individual carcass from which they originated if there are samples of each to match.

CALGARY - The foundation was laid some eight months ago. The structure of the team, that was formed through the summer and fall months.
Now, its up to Kevin Dineen to use those building blocks to put the finishing touches on Sochi gold for Canadas national womens hockey team.
Dineen was introduced by Hockey Canada as the teams head coach Tuesday, just days after former bench boss Dan Church unexpectedly stepped down from the position as the 2014 Sochi games loom.
The 50-year-old Quebec City native, recently turfed from the head coaching gig with the Florida Panthers, was part of a whirlwind process to fill the vacant position that began last Friday

Julianne Moore Offered Role of Scary Mom For 'Carrie' Remake
America's most respected ginger Julianne Moore has reportedly been offered the role of the horrifying religious zealot mother for the upcoming remake of Carrie. According to Deadline.com, MGM has sent the script to the 51-year-old actress in the hopes that she'll play Margaret White, the role that was originated by Piper Laurie in the 1976 original. Chloe Moretz is already set to play movie history's testiest prom date Carrie White, in the Kimberly Peirce-directed re-imagining of Stephen King's classic chiller.
The four-time Oscar nominee, who recently played Sarah Palin in the horror movie for liberals, HBO's Game Change, is known for her known for her wide array of in beloved comedies (The Big Lebowski, The Kids Are All Right, 30 Rock) and well-received dramas (Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Children of Men) and just about everything else in between. While Moore hasn't appeared in too many horror films (especially if you don't count Hannibal and you definitely shouldn't) the actress, interestingly enough, appeared in the maligned remake of another horror classic: 1998's Psycho.
What do you think of Julianne Moore as the possible choice to play Margaret White in the Carrie remake? Sound off in the comments section!

text: I picked this up as new old stock from an Ace dealer here in town a few months ago. Its a Toro Super Recycler 22" with the 6.75hp engine and Personal Pace system. Adjustable cutting height, mulch plug, and bagger are all included on this machine. This is not a commercial mower, however it is a top of the line residential model that is tough enough to see commercial use. The machine has only had a few mows on it (I bought a WB), and is in extremely good shape. I waxed the mower when it was new, and washed it every time after I mowed. The mower runs perfect, and has no problems. Machine comes with bagger, mulch plug and original papers. I'm located in Raleigh, NC. Paid $525, asking $425 or best reasonable offer.

Must-Visit Places in England are many and all of them are lovely. But then, I'm a true Brit and England is my heart, so I have quite a bit to say about must-visit places in England. I'm terribly proud of my quirky little country with our rich heritage and cultural history and our funny habits. We might not be the global power we once were but everywhere in the world you will find reminders of the wide ranging influence we've had. Today England is hugely cosmopolitan and you are now just as likely to want to visit a mosque as a cathedral. To me, however, England will always be the land of cricket, tea, fish and chips, the Queen and putting the u in the correct spelling of words like color! If you ever get to visit us we'll extend you a warm welcome and recommend the following to you. So please join me and take a look at some must-visit places in England.
1. Cheddar Gorge, Somerset
Here's one must-visit place in England.
It's certainly no Grand Canyon but it is a spectacular natural valley set with caves, all of which have loads of stalagmite and stalactite growth.2
Oh and don't forget the cheese shops.

The Hahnville Tigers will travel to Pan American Stadium in City Park in New Orleans to face off against the St. Augustine Purple Knights on Friday night.
Both teams are coming off of losses last week.
St. Augustine is 2-1 on the season and last week were routed by Archbishop Rummel 42-14. In that game, the Purple Knights star running back Leonard Fournette gained 88 yards on the ground with one touchdown coming on a 60-yard run. Fournette also added 50 yards on two receptions.
Hahnville head coach Lou Valdin said the key to Hahnvilles game will be limiting Fournettes role.
"Hes one of the best backs in the country. Hes about 225 pounds and 63" and he can fly," Valdin said. "Were going to try and get bodies on him."
Fournette received a scholarship offer from LSU when he was just a freshman. Now a junior, he holds offers from every major program in the country.
Valdin said the Tigers will also have to watch out for the Purple Knights passing attack.
Last week, St. Augustine quarterback Toi Jackson passed for 166 yards with a touchdown and added 62 yards on the ground with a rushing touchdown, but threw an interception that went 97 yards the other way for a score.
Valdin said they will have to watch out for one receiver in particular on the opposition.
"They have a basketball guy, like a 68 receiver," Valdin said. "When they get down in the red zone thats what they do–throw to him."
Valdin said St. Augustine is a formidable opponent.
"They are a well coached football team. They blitz on defense like crazy. They spread you out and throw the football. They spread you out and then they got that running back they run on you," Valdin said. "We have to play absolutely the best if we possibly can have a chance."
Valdin said he was impressed by his defensives play against Lutcher last week where they racked up seven sacks. He is hoping for a similar effort this week.
"Id like to be able to get to them. Id like to do it with a four man rush so we can defend the pass," Valdin said. "I think well be able to get a pass rush. Im a little concerned if they try to hammer the ball. Were not big up front–were built for speed."
Hahnvilles run defense has suffered in their first two games of the season and they have been burnt again and again on one play in particular–the quarterback draw.
"We are probably going to have to play a little more zone to have more eyes on the quarterback," Valdin said.
Hahnville at 0-2 is coming off a stunning loss last week to the Lutcher Bulldogs. In that loss, the team made numerous mistakes in the fourth quarter that extended scoring drives for the Bulldogs.
"The biggest things are the turnovers. If you turn the ball over in high school football you are going to lose," Valdin said.
Starting running back Lynn Simmons had four fumbles on the night.
"I dont think he had a fumble problem, he was fighting for extra yards," Valdin said. "I just told him it is better to go down than fight for extra yards."
Quarterback Easton Melancon threw for 225 yards and two touchdowns and connected on a few passes on a comeback attempt with less than a minute left before his final pass of the game bounced out the hands of a Hahnville receiver and was picked off.
Despite that performance and Simmonss fumbles, Valdin said his team is changing tact this week to try and keep Fournette off the field.
"We aint throwing the ball this week," Valdin said. "We are going to run the ball and shorten the game."
Valdin said in addition to Simmons again taking the lead in carrying the ball, he will be rotating in Todge Scott and backup quarterback Dylan Keller at the running back spot as well as adding touches by fullback Cody Morales.
"All we can do is what we can do. We cant control how good the other team is or the officials calls," Valdin said. "The only thing we can control is how hard we play and how hard we compete."

The Organic Market Stall in Greenwich (London) had Tomatos at over £5.00 per kilo on Saturday, is that a record or just ridiculous?
There was a discussion on the General Board last week on what is in season and when, is it possible to have an Organic Tomato in May, given the artificial ripening required or air miles or both. For sure they are not 'Green' Tomatos.

Literature review concerning the relationship between globalization and regionalization in the world economy
In this paper we review the literature on regionalization and globalization and implicitly the impact these two processes have over the world economy. Characterized by a several number of studies, this research is focused on different time periods, methodologies and model parameters. We identify the key empirical findings from the literature and analyze the impact of the relationship between globalization and regionalization on prices, wages, capital flows and the labor market. The results offer clear evidence that these two processes are not mutually exclusive and cannot be analyzed separately from each other. Future research should examine closely the impact of globalization and regionalization over population's purchasing power.

MTM already modifies the Audi A7Well... that was fast. MTM managed to already get a hold of an A7 and tweak it. The most obvious difference is a modified rear diffuser which accepts a quad exhaust. Wheel spacers and MTM rims were installed as well. A lowering module designed to work with the stock suspension is in the works. A tune for the 3.0 TDI in this A7 was added which boosts horsepower by about 40 to 285.

Preserve Visitation Guidelines
Nature Conservancy preserves are managed to protect fragile resources — native species and plant communities. Members and volunteers of The Nature Conservancy enjoy regularly scheduled field trips and work days to most preserves. Other interested visitors need to call the Kentucky Field Office at (859) 259-9655 for more information.
Access to some areas is restricted based upon the rarity or sensitivity of what is being protected. Detailed directions, maps and site descriptions are available when permission to visit has been granted.
Preparation: The Key to a Safe, Enjoyable Visit
We ask you to prepare for your visit and take proper precautions while on site.
- Wear comfortable footwear suitable for hiking, but please do not wear heavy, cleated boots -- these damage the trails.
- To protect yourself from ticks, poison ivy or poison sumac, wear long pants -- and tuck them into your socks.
- No matter which season of the year it is, each person in your party should bring a full water bottle. Dehydration is a serious risk at any time of the year.
What to Bring
To get the most from your visit, and to protect yourself from the elements, you may want to include the following items in your backpack:
- Binoculars
- Camera
- Compass
- Field guides (to wildflowers, birds, butterflies and other natural features)
- Insect repellant
- Rain gear
- Snack
- Sunscreen
What You Can Do
The following activities are permitted on Conservancy preserves:
- Birdwatching
- Hiking
- Nature Study
- Photography
- Boating (in some cases)
What You Cannot Do
Please help us protect our preserves by strictly avoiding the following activities while visiting:
- Bicycling, camping, fires, horseback riding, prospecting, rock climbing, spelunking and swimming.
- Collecting flora, fauna, or mineral specimens, including shells, berries, nuts, mushrooms or wildflowers.
- Using motorized vehicles of any sort except over authorized access roads or buffer zones.
- Fishing, hunting or trapping.
- Pets, including leashed dogs, with the exception of service animals.
- Feeding wildlife.
- Introducing exotic plant or animal species (those that are not native to a particular area).
Respect Our Neighbors' Property
Please do not trespass on private property adjacent to Conservancy preserves. Property lines are clearly marked with boundary signs featuring the Conservancy's logo.

One, this is beyond the Federal Government's business.
Two, that this is an issue for our states to handle individually.
Three, that all this will do is boost the crime rate for gun theft.
BigDinFL, basically you are saying that it is perfectly within your rights to:
A) Sell a gun to an 11 year old, from across town who answered your add because he was being bullied at school and wanted "protection"
b) Sell a gun to ex-con who is loaded with prison tattoos, sporting his gang colors and bragging about the crap he has done and hopes to do.
c) Sell a gun to your neighbor who you KNOW beats his wife and has threatened to kill her.
d) Sell a gun to the neighborhood nut who walks around town having intense arguments with himself and threatens anybody who approaches.
If a person does any of the above, to my mind there should be consequences. I don't have a good balanced solution to this problem but am participating in this discussion with the hopes of finding such a solution. So for myself, I will continue to transfer through an FFL.
What a bunch of strawman BS due - let's come back to reality.
You must not remember the days when folks put ads in the paper with their home number and address and folks came over with cash and bought whatever you were selling - I do, it was NO BIG DEAL. I have sold guns at garage sales (and bought some too) where we didn't even exchange first names, let alone our entire history.
YOU are free to do it anyway you want, but trying to state that we should ALL do it YOUR way or face criminal charges IS acting like Bloomberg and wanting a nanny state
This is NOT something that should be anywhere near being handled at the Federal level - NO social issue is. We need this tyranny to grow smaller, not larger with more impediments in peoples' lives to do what they want with their property

Problems come up everyday that could have been avoided by simply configuring SQL Server appropriately before using it. The tricky part is knowing what to change and how to determine the correct setting. Some settings require knowledge of how SQL Server works internally and how the setting affects performance. We'll take a look at the default settings in SQL Server that should be changed before a SQL Server is put into production and provide guidelines on how to determine the best settings with which to go into production.

Mike Woodson to rest Carmelo Anthony -- and listen to him
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Mike Woodson said the MRI on Carmelo Anthony's injured right knee showed "some fluid buildup" in there.
"That's what's causing the stiffness," Woodson said. "Rest will probably be the best thing for him."
Anthony rested Wednesday night, sitting out against the Pistons. Woodson said Anthony would be evaluated again Thursday night and if he feels better, he could play against the Thunder at the Garden. Woodson said it will be Anthony's decision.
"I'll do whatever he wants to do," Woodson said. "Trust me. Players know their own body. If he tells me he wants to play I'm going to play him. I'm not going to fight him on that . . . If he says, 'Coach, I need to sit down and rest a game or two,' I'm going to grant that, absolutely."
The irony is Woodson said Anthony asked out of Monday's game in Cleveland before he aggravated his knee and the coach didn't listen to him.
"He just kind of nodded that his knee wasn't right," Woodson said. "I kind of ignored it somewhat. Maybe I shouldn't have."
After tripping over his own feet, Anthony fell in the second quarter in Cleveland. When he got up, he walked right to the locker room and never returned. The Knicks were down 22 at the time and rallied to win behind a strong game from Amar'e Stoudemire. This was the seventh game Anthony has missed all or part of this season.
"Obviously he was hurting," Woodson said. "He asked me to bring him out. I kind of ignored it because we were down. I probably should have taken him out and then he took the spill and he left the game because he was hurting. I didn't heed to it because I've seen him banged up and hit and things of that nature."
Woodson said he hasn't been told Anthony's knee worsened from that particular play. Anthony said it's been bothering him for a couple of weeks.
Woodson also said he has to scale back Anthony's minutes from the 37.8 per game to about 35. The Knicks need him as fresh as possible for the last two months of the season and playoffs.
Woodson brought Stoudemire and J.R. Smith off the bench again last night as Kurt Thomas and James White started. When Smith was asked if he understood not starting, he said, "Honestly, I don't know. I just do what I'm told. I really try not to worry about it. If I did I'd drive myself crazy."
Notes & quotes: Lawrence Frank didn't coach Detroit because of personal reasons. Assistant Brian Hill replaced him . . . Detroit was without big man Greg Monroe (ankle).

DEFINITION of 'Prime Of Prime - PoP'
A brokerage that provides service to traders (especially Forex traders) who need micro-contract trades. Prime of Prime (PoP) brokerages also often allow for trades of greater leverage and, as a result, more risk. Many of the brokers using PoP brokerages are small regional banks with clients that need smaller currency trade options.
BREAKING DOWN 'Prime Of Prime - PoP'
One of the reasons that regular forex prime brokerages don't provide the services that PoPs do is that there is a smaller profit margin in the smaller trades. Additionally, their systems often don't support a cost-effective way to complete smaller trades. PoP brokerages are also equipped to deal with increasing regulatory requirements for highly leveraged trades.

Eau de Colin: Japanese audiences could smell him in The New World last year.
As if the current cinematic experience isn't rich enough, Megan Dickerson of Boston Children's Museum is trying to bring to it that most evocative of the senses, smell, which you may remember from such films as ... er, um, anyone?
High off the heady success of outdoor screenings of "Willy Wonka" - it doesn't specify whether it was the Gene Wilder or Johnny Depp incarnation - where aromas of blueberry pie and banana "taffy" were wafted over the audience, Dickerson is planning a full scale revival of Smellovision.
For me, something's rotten in Denmark. Before you all cry "spoilsport", I'm perfectly aware that a screening of a smell-enhanced Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is like catnip for kids, but this concept has been repeatedly subject to revival since the 1950s, and never successfully.
We (I say "we" - I don't remember them) had Odorama in the 1980s, where cinemagoers and those at home were given scratch-and-sniff cards. It was introduced - you couldn't make this up - by John "Pink Flamingos" Waters. Is there a director less suited to the medium of pong?
Odorama rightly didn't catch on because it's bloody distracting, and the whole point is to add to the filmic experience, not take away from it. You can either follow the subtle nuances of a Kieslowski plotline, or play a national lottery scratchcard, and never the twain shall meet.
There was a brief revival in Japan (but of course) last year, where audiences were treated to the smell of Colin Farrell in The New World. It's a film about colonial leader John Smith, said to have been saved from execution by North American Indian princess Pocahontas. A premise not easily given to Smellovision - but this didn't deter the Japanese - the semi-mythical Pocohontas officially smells like peppermint and rosemary.
On a more serious note, smell and memory are closely linked. Smell evokes memories; indeed, we must first remember a smell before we can identify it. I'm not convinced that olfactory memory is the right part of your brain to bring to a film.
It's fine when the film itself tugs at some misty water-coloured memory, but a smell may well bring you out of your filmic reverie. We have our own associated smell-memories. Even worse, what if a scene in a smelly film replaced a childhood recollection when you smelled the smell in future?
The idea of chemicals being squirted into your face from the back of a seat in a cinema is bad enough, but remember that odour molecules are really just tiny bits of the object being smelled. Imagine watching Labyrinth (the Bog of Eternal Stench), or Se7en (Gluttony). Cannibal Holocaust in Smellovision, anybody?
Smellovision is fine for kids, who are probably already hopped-up on E-numbers and cheese-strings by the time they enter the cinema, but any audience beyond that will smell a rat, and Smellovision will be exposed for the tacky gimmick it has always been.
Are there any other films which, by any other name, would smell sweet (or sour)? Would you love the smell of napalm in the morning? Or would your gorge rise if you were subjected to Delicatessen in Smellovision? Comedy submissions are welcome, but more points are scored for actual films ...

"There are a number of picnic areas and walking trails to choose from.
"People can stay and have a barbecue or enjoy a cooked meal at the café."
One popular summer program for families is the night walks.
Visitors can join the rangers for a night time prowl of the forest and be amazed by the nocturnal activity of some of the native creatures that live there.
There is also a nursery, forest shop and information centre in the forest, which are all close to the parking areas.

After suffering a bit of a delay, Painkiller: Hell Wars is finally complete and will be on store shelves before the month is out. Developed by People Can Fly, Painkiller: Hell Wars is a fast-paced FPS, delivering hoards of enemies in a non-stop feast of carnage. Well, that's what the PC game was like anyway.
"We have an awesome action-packed Xbox game that we're all proud of," said Byron Gaum, Global Product Marketing Manager at DreamCatcher Games. "Even the external testing teams, who see a lot of games come through their studio, were absolutely blown away by the fast-paced action, especially in multiplayer. This is the game that Painkiller and Xbox action fans have been waiting for!"
In the game you play as Daniel Garner, a man stranded in purgatory, and must battle to obtain purification and prevent the forces of good and evil from clashing in a massive unholy war - you know, the usual stuff.
Although on the Xbox, the game is said to feature incredible graphics thanks to the "PAIN Engine", which is "capable of pumping out an unbelievably high polygon count, while adding increased texture quality and the latest lighting and shadowing techniques." There's plenty to get stuck into as well, with the single-player game supplemented with Xbox Live play for up to eight players, and additional single-player game modes.
At the moment we're waiting for news on the European release, but it hits retail in North America on July 25 at the bargain price of $29.99.

Renovation work is to take place on Alnwick's war memorial, the town council heard.
At last week's monthly meeting, councillors heard the results from a survey conducted by a firm of conservation specialists.
The investigation revealed there were no major structural issues although some areas of stonework and the three life-sized bronze figures and plaques have lost their original patina through natural weathering and the build-up of sulphide deposits.
It was heard that the war memorial would also benefit from all the pointing being raked out and replaced with lime mortar.
The council agreed to obtain estimates for the work and look for grant assistance from the War Memorials Trust, to carry it out.
Councillors were supportive of undertaking renovation work to the war memorial as a fitting tribute to residents of Alnwick who lost their lives in various wars, particularly given the impending commemorations over the next four years associated with the First World War.
l Concern was raised about the number of cigarette butts found on the street outside pubs and bars during the town clean-up.
Mayor Bill Grisdale thanked those who helped and Coun Peter Broom for the idea.
It was decided that the town council would speak to landlords about the cigarette butts and it was decided that some sort of campaign may be launched to tackle the problem.

Tyler Junior College:
TYLER (KYTX) - Tyler Junior College will award 100 scholarships to students majoring in science, technology, engineering or math in Fall 2013, thanks to a grant from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
TJC received a $263,200 grant from the Coordinating Board.
The Texas Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, or T-STEM, scholarships will provide awards of up to $2,500 per student for the 2013-14 academic year. Eligibility is based on high school grade-point average and the completion of courses toward a STEM career. Continued eligibility beyond the fall semester is dependent upon academic achievement and completion of coursework.
"The T-STEM grant program presents a great opportunity for students majoring in science, technology, engineering or math," said Dr. Kim Russell, TJC vice president of advancement and external affairs. "Our scholarship office is working now to issue the first awards, and I would encourage anyone who qualifies and is seeking a STEM career to apply."
By criteria established by the Coordinating Board, students must have achieved a "B" average or above on all science and math course work completed in high school. To remain eligible, students must maintain a 3.0 GPA throughout participation and be enrolled in at least 12 hours in each long semester throughout the program.
"Careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics are some of the most rewarding available today and our STEM graduates are in high demand," said TJC Provost Dr. Homer "Butch" Hayes. "These types of scholarship programs provide additional incentive for qualified students to complete their studies and move on to upper-level studies, and, ultimately, into the workforce."
New or returning TJC students majoring in STEM career fields defined by state criteria are eligible.
Eligible students are encouraged to complete the TJC Scholarship Application, available online at www.tjc.edu/scholarships.

Have you noticed how when she is talking to someone she's right in their face?
If Jase has hoens and necklace and all that, and saying "white devil, white devil", he is acting like Ace Ventura not Dumb and Dumber.... I guess they are just going for a Jim Carrey theme
God I hate Jase
At first I loved Karen, she was my fav (along with Lori). Now I don't like her because she does sound whiney. The more I read about Nk (from the wonderful and fantastic feed recappers )the more I love her!! I also like Adria, but I can't decide if it's just because I want to see the twin drama unfold, or if I really like her.
What sucks for me though is that I like Will. It's too bad he's in a tight alliance with her.

"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from indomitable will."
But if you remember, Lori and Will discussed not liking Karen during the feeds, so I just think he is using her to advance his game. IMO Will is mastering this season. Something about guys named Will being able to play this game brilliantly.

Hi, I'm having problems with the default administrator account (the one that is normally hidden). what happens if I delete that?
Hi, I'm having problems with the default administrator account (the one that is normally hidden). what happens if I delete that?
Hi Chowyungfatso, and welcome to Vista Forums.
If you mean the built-in Administrator account and not the one you set up while installing Vista, then I would not recommend deleting it, if it was possible. You can set it back to hide without any problems though, and enable it again as needed.
Deleting it will leave you with no way to repair your computer if something should happen to your only default administrator account that you set up durring the install of Vista.
Hope this helps,
Well, I don't know what I did, but I am able to log in using that Administrator again without it locking up. I was hoping that deleting that account would help, but I ended up uninstalling a lot of programs and "utilities" that I thought would cause issues (TeraCopy, Eraser, TrueCrypt). I also removed an older Adaptec SCSI card I installed right around the time when the adminstrator log-in problems occured (again, it was only the admin account that locked up a few minutes after I logged in--all other accounts were fine), which gave strange errors during POST but seemed to work. I also uninstalled the nVidia control panel (or bits of it, as it doesn't seem to be a way to completely uninstall it) as well.
Thanks for the tips, though. I enjoy reading through the forum, and especially when it's not me having the problem.
I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted out Chowyungfatso. Thank you for the feedback.
i have a question if i were and able to erase the hidden administrator on windows vista what would happen.

Celebrating unique program in Cuba
UB president leads delegation attending graduation for UB-UH program
By PATRICIA DONOVAN
Contributing Editor
President John B. Simpson will lead a UB delegation that will travel to Havana, Cuba, to attend ceremonies marking the fourth graduation of the Master's of Humanities (MAH) Program in Caribbean Cultural Studies jointly operated by UB and the University of Havana.
The program in Caribbean cultural studies is the only joint graduate program ever established between a university in the United States and a Cuban university. Of the seven academic programs offered by American universities in Cuba today by such schools as Harvard University and American University, two are operated by UB-the MAH program and a semesterabroad program for undergraduate students.
During the visit from June 3-7, Simpson and UH Rector Rubén Zardoya Loureda will sign a new agreement for scholarly exchange and collaboration between the two universities.
Also that week, faculty from both universities will present the second Caribbean Cultural Studies Symposium at which papers on Caribbean culture will be presented in French, Spanish and Englishthe languages of the Caribbean. Simpson will make opening remarks at the symposium. He also will attend a thesis presentation by the graduating students and a presentation by leading UH scientists on their current research in the natural sciences and biotechnology.
The graduation ceremony on June 6 also will mark the fifth anniversary of the establishment of the MAH program, which is designed for American and Cuban students who are fully bilingual in Spanish and English. This year also is the 10th anniversary of UB's academic programs in Cuba, in which 268 students have participated since the university launched its first summer abroad program there in 1997.
Simpson said that UB's "unique and evolving partnership with the University of Havana is an example of a new and innovative interdisciplinary approach to research and teaching, and an exciting and sustainable model for international cooperation in higher education."
"As UB implements the ambitious vision of UB 2020 and UH sets out to celebrate its 280th anniversary under the banner of 'A new university for a new world,' I have the strong sense that our institutions share a vision of what the university of the future can look like," he added.
Stephen C. Dunnett, UB vice provost for international education, noted that "in the recent period, no other U.S. university has had such an extensive and enduring presence in Cuba as UB."
"In light of the transition now under way in Cuba, it is a particularly propitious time for our president to visit the country in order to reaffirm our longstanding relationship with the University of Havana and our joint program in Caribbean studies," he said.
In addition to Dunnett, Simpson will be accompanied on the trip by his wife, Katherine G. Simpson; Jose Buscaglia, founder and director of the collaborative programs; and members of the MAH Program faculty from UB. They are Jorge Guitart, professor of Romance Languages and Literatures, College of Arts and Sciences; Shaun Irlam, professor and chair, Department of Comparative Literature, CAS; and David E. Johnson, associate professor, Department of Comparative Literature.
Buscaglia described the MAH Program in Caribbean Cultural Studies as one in which participants have the opportunity to study the Caribbean on its own terms.
"They gain firsthand knowledge of the complex cultures and traditions of the region through on-site investigations and direct participation in the processes that shape everyday life," he explained. "The program offers them the opportunity to spend up to three semesters studying and living in the Caribbean, starting with an initial first semester of studies in Cuba."
One of this year's MAH graduates is Reynier Perez-Hernández, a Cuban national, and five are Americans of Cuban descent: Kyle James Mittlefehldt, Sugey C. Palomares, Amanda M. Phelps, Meghan Dorothea Hern-Steed and Melissa Ventura.
Graduation speakers will include Perez-Hernández and Jose Antonio Baujín, dean of the UH Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
Upon its arrival in Havana, the UB delegation will attend a dinner with UH Vice Rector Cristina Díaz, Dean José Antonio Baujín and Rogelio Rodríguez Coronel, Margarita Mateo Palmer and Yolanda Woods Pujols, UH professors who teach in the MAH program and are adjunct professors at UB.
During the visit, the delegation will take a walking tour of Old Havana and spend time at Ernest Hemingway's Cuban home, El Vigía, in San Francisco de Paula, now a museum dedicated to the writer
It also will visit the town of Viñales, Pinar del Rio Province, and attend the workshop "Casa taller Pedro Pablo Oliva" as guests of the artist Pedro Pablo Oliva, one of the masters of the first generation of artists produced by the Cuban Revolution.
UB will host a banquet at Havana's Hotel Sevilla in honor of the graduating MAH students and in celebration of the 10th anniversary of UB programs in Cuba.
Simpson will have an opportunity to visit the Convento de Santa Clara, where UB students and program faculty reside during the academic semester, and pay a courtesy call on the director of the National Center for Conservation, Restoration and Museum Studies.
The UB-UH MAH Program in Caribbean Cultural Studies is the only joint graduate program ever established between a U.S. and a Cuban university. It so far has graduated 28 students, and 13 more have been accepted for the fall 2007 semester.
Another 223 students participated in UB's summer abroad program in Cuba from 1997 until it was shut down in 2004 by a White House prohibition against academic travel to Cuba for periods of less than 10 weeks, which eliminated more than 300 programs offered there by U.S. universities.
UB replaced the summer program with an undergraduate semester abroad program in Spanish language, and Cuban and Caribbean culture. Designed as an undergraduate counterpart to the MAH Program in Caribbean Cultural Studies, it has had 13 participants to date and five more are scheduled to participate in the fall semester.
In the fall of 2006, UB began to offer its Ph.D. students a fall semester abroad program in Cuba. They conduct research and take courses offered through the MAH program. One doctoral student completed the program last year and two more have been accepted for the fall semester.

Titleist's program set to open in two weeks
Titleist's program set to open in two weeks
The Titleist Junior Performance Center for junior golfers will open up at the Grand Del Mar on Sept. 21, the only facility of its kind in the country. The goal of the center is to teach young athletes the skills for long-term success on the golf course and beyond.
The junior performance center is unique in that it deviates from traditional methods of teaching golf to youngsters. Titleist's program is based on the principles of long-term athlete development, rooted in understanding how the body interacts with the brain at different stages of life.
The center is on a scenic 22,000-square-foot space on the Grand Del Mar's elevated driving range tee box.
"We're very excited about it," said Shawn Cox, the Grand's director of golf. "We think kids will come from all over the world to experience this program."
Leading the way at the new center is director Milo Bryant, a self-proclaimed "38-year-old kid" who has been a fitness professional and trainer since 1991. Bryant will carry out Titleist's view that there is a better, more efficient way to build a golfer.
Bryant said that often in golf lessons, children get bored endlessly hitting balls at a driving range.
Bryant said golfers such as Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus point to training that had them hitting balls as hard as they could when they were young, not worrying so much about placement.
In that way, they develop strength and speed at a young age, laying the groundwork to layer on specific skills as they mature.
"When they leave me and go to the golf pro, they're like a machine ready to be guided, " Bryant said. "The pros don't have to worry about balance, strength and speed."
At the center, children ages 5 to 12 work their way through stations that teach skills such as kicking, hitting, throwing, putting, wrist release, chipping and catching.
At one station, Hula-Hoops are set up on a slope and the children have to roll a big ball to try and get into the hoop - a sneaky way of teaching them how to read the greens.
Youngsters will also learn to find their way out of bunkers with different size balls and learn how to two-putt with a game involving a giant putter and tennis balls. As they move through the levels, they earn different color hats.
Bryant said this kind of training is especially important these days as he continues to be floored by childhood obesity rates.
Weight problems can be tackled at a young age if fitness is made fun, he said.
"We're trying to show kids that they can have a blast and get some exercise; exercise with a ton of research behind it," Bryant said.
Last week, even in the blazing heat, Bryant couldn't keep his daughter and her friend off the course. They played until their cheeks were pink.
"It's sweet to see how much they mature from a fitness standpoint because of this stuff," Bryant said. "It's all about watching kids grow, learn to play, move their bodies and have fun doing it."

Government sources dismissed the overnight report by the Sunday Times that claims the Russian shipment of missiles to Syria was called off.
"This story is detached from reality. A fairytale. There was no agreement or understanding achieved between Putin and Netanyahu. That's another piece of fantasizing," an official told Ynet, adding "It's likely there would be a great deal of foot-dragging by the Russians, who would use it as a bargaining chip without following through with the deal. Only time will tell." (Attila Somfalvi, Yoav Zitun)

Like others I got a message telling me there was an important update to ZASS and I've been trying to install 80_059_000. I can download the exe but when I run it it freezes at 3% while it's copying the file Microsoft_VC90_ReleaseCRT_x86.msi
I've read advice on other similar threads and have tried the following so far:
1. Downloading it in both Firefox and IE with all other programs closed and no other internet activity. The download seems to go ok but I get the same problem each time I try to run it.
2. Doing a clean uninstall before trying to install (using Guru George's instructions on a similar thread). Same problem
3. Doing a system restore first. Same problem.
4. Uninstalling & reinstalling Window's Installer
5. I purchased an extended download when I renewed ZASS a few months ago. I've tried downloading the version I bought then. Same problem. However, I successfully used the extended download about 3 weeks ago after reinstalling my operating system (XP Pro - service pack 3).
Any help?

I need to confess something: I'm not old enough to write this story. If you read the headline, you know that Dr. Dre with Drinks Americas will be releasing some alcohol with his named slapped on it (which was also slapped on some headphones earlier this year). So, in an effort to do some TMT investigatory work, I decided to visit Drinks Americas' website. I was shocked at what I saw.
I don't know if you knew this, but If you were to find me on me on your favorite social networking site, you'd see that I'm only 19 years old. That's right, I'm not old enough to purchase alcoholic beverages without the assistance of my best friend's mom. (By the way, thanks Trish! Especially when you bought me that bottle of Absolut Raspberry in middle school, and I got alcohol poisoning.) So, you want to see what was so shocking when I visited the Drinks Americas website?
Yeah! I'm not 21, so how can I even write this story? Well, the truth is, I was forced to write the story by Mr "I'm a stupid idiot who dresses up as a robber and demands stories" P. Well I got news for you, Mr P: Fuck you, because the only substance of this story is this Dr. Dre quote, in which he tries to justify his branding by calling it a "challenge":
I'm always down for a new challenge. When Drinks Americas approached me about going into business with them, I knew there was a lot of competition out there but it was the same way when I started doing music. I'm going to put the best product out there, because that's what I do.
There, story done. I dare you to assign me another, P.

REUTERS - A U.S. drone strike killed senior al Qaeda figure Ilyas Kashmiri in Pakistan after a tipoff from local intelligence, a Pakistani intelligence official said on Saturday.
The elimination of Kashmiri, regarded as one of the most dangerous militants in the world, appeared to be another coup for the United States after American special forces killed Osama bin Laden in a garrison town close to Islamabad on May 2.
Islamabad's cooperation in the killing could help repair ties with Washington, badly damaged when it was discovered that bin Laden had apparently been living in Pakistan for years.
"We are sure that he (Kashmiri) has been killed. Now we are trying to retrieve the bodies. We want to get photographs of the bodies," said the Pakistani intelligence official.
Kashmiri was wrongly reported to have been killed in a September 2009 strike by a U.S. drone.
A Pakistani television station quoted the group Kashmiri headed, Harkat-ul Jihad Islami (HUJI) which is allied to al Qaeda, as saying the latest report was true.
"We confirm that our Amir (leader) and commander in chief, Mohammad Ilyas Kashmiri, along with other companions, was martyred in an American drone strike on June 3, 2011, at 11:15 p.m.," Abu Hanzla Kashir, who identified himself as a HUJI spokesman, said in a statement faxed to the station.
"God willing ... America will very soon see our full revenge. Our only target is America."
The authenticity of the statement could not be verified.
Kashmiri's death is good news for Pakistan, which has failed to subdue militants seeking to topple its unpopular government despite a series of army offensives against their strongholds.
"It will be a very big blow to militants and Pakistan will be a major beneficiary because he was behind attacks on Pakistani defence and military installations," said retired Brigadier Asad Munir, a former Pakistani intelligence officer.
Kashmiri, said to be a former Pakistani military officer, and other militants were with an Afghan Taliban member involved in liaison with the Pakistani Taliban when the drone missile struck, said the intelligence official.
He said they were in a house in South Waziristan, close to the Afghan border in northwest Pakistan, that was believed to be the headquarters of Kashmiri's group, which has been described as an operational wing of al Qaeda.
"We were closing in on him and he switched off his satellite phone and cellphone and he wanted to cross the border to Afghanistan to find a hiding place," the official added. "It was a tipoff by us since we were closely monitoring his movements."
Five of his close allies were also killed in the attack by a pilotless drone aircraft, along with two other militants, intelligence officials said.
A U.S. embassy spokesman said he could not confirm the killing of Kashmiri or whether Pakistan provided support for an operation.
The killing of bin Laden aroused international suspicions that Pakistani authorities had been complicit in hiding him, and led to domestic criticism of them for failing to detect or stop the U.S. team that killed him.
Kashmiri was on a list which the United States gave Pakistan of senior militants it wanted killed or captured, said a Pakistani official.
Drone strikes have increased under the Obama administration, sometimes killing civilians and fuelling anti-American sentiment in Pakistan.
While Pakistani leaders publicly criticise the attacks, analysts say killing high-value targets like Kashmiri would not be possible without Pakistani intelligence.
Washington reiterated its call on Pakistan, a major recipient of U.S. aid, to crack down harder on militancy after it was discovered that bin Laden had been living about a two-hour drive from intelligence headquarters.
The U.S. Department of State has labelled Kashmiri a "specially designated global terrorist".
Last year, the U.S. attorney's office quoted a Chicago taxi driver charged with sending money to Kashmiri as saying the Pakistani militant had told him he "wanted to train operatives to conduct attacks in the United States".
Kashmiri battled Soviet occupation troops in the 1980s in Afghanistan, where he lost an eye. His group also fought Indian rule in the disputed Kashmir region.
He has been linked to attacks including the 2008 rampage through the Indian city of Mumbai which killed 166 people.
"This will be a huge loss for al Qaeda," said Kamran Bokhari of global intelligence firm STRATFOR. "Everyone will benefit, the United States, Pakistan and India."
The Pakistani media has speculated that Kashmiri was the mastermind of an attack on the PNS Mehran naval base in Karachi last month which humiliated the Pakistani military.
In that operation, six militants held off 100 security forces, including commandos, for 16 hours.

Bowls / Schneider and Fridman Hold on for Win
In an all-Ramat Gan clash this week at the final of the annual national mixed pairs, Chaim Schneider and Sari Fridman beat Mazal Reuven and Barney Zuckerman 21-15. The winning pair at the Ramat Gan club had to fight off their challengers after taking a big lead.
Both Schneider and Fridman displayed unmatchable bowling to lead 19-5 after 12 ends. Then thunder struck. Reuven held one shot and attempted to drive the jack back to her cluster of bowls, but failed. Schneider followed with the same purpose to find his group of back bowls. He was dead on target but the jack went its own way, springing up to land at Reuven's group of bowls for a count of six and for the score at 19-11.
Reuven and Zuckerman sprang to life, and with the latter drawing accurately on long heads, the pair won the next four ends to close the gap to 19-15 with two ends to play. Schneider, however, steadied the boat and held off his opponents to win singles in the last two ends for the 21-15 win.
In previous rounds, Reuven and Zuckerman had excellent wins against Ramat Gan's Rami Oron and Naomi Ziv, and against last year's winners Dror and Edna Zomberg. Schneider and Fridman also did well to beat Ra'anana's Zvika Hadar and Hadassah Fisher.

Two prominent journals have retracted papers by Nobel laureate Linda Buck today because she was "unable to reproduce [the] key findings" of experiments done by her former postdoctoral researcher Zhihua Zou, according to a statement made by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC), where Buck worked at the time of the publications.
These retractions, a 2006 Science paper and a 2005 Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences (PNAS) paper, are tied to a 2001 Nature paper that she retracted in 2008, due to the inability "to reproduce the reported findings" and "inconsistencies between some of the figures and data published in the paper and the original data," according to the retraction. Zou was the first author on all three papers and responsible for conducting the experiments.
The FHCRC is currently conducting an investigation into the issue, said Kristen Woodward, senior media relations manager, but no findings of misconduct have yet been made public. John Dahlberg of the Office of Research Integrity declined to comment on the matter. The paper in PNAS, which has been cited 61 times according to ISI, describes how smells from substances with similar molecular structures elicit "strikingly similar" neuronal patterns in the olfactory cortex of mice brains across individuals, supporting the presence of "olfactory maps" that follow "an underlying logic," according to the paper. The Science paper, cited 73 times, furthers the research and supports that mixed smells, such as chocolate and citrus, activate neurons in the olfactory cortex that chocolate or citrus do not when presented individually, which may explain why these mixtures tend to smell like completely different substances to humans.
Fortunately, the retractions will not have a large impact on the field, Donald Wilson, an olfactory researcher at New York University and Nathan Kline Institute, told The Scientist in an email. "The story of how cortical odor processing occurs doesn't change," he said. "Work in our own lab and others have now also shown the highly distributed, sparse nature of odor processing in the olfactory cortex, and the complex processes involved in dealing with odor mixtures, much as these two now retracted papers showed."
Zou was unavailable for comment, as his current location is unknown, according to FHCRC. After completing his post doctoral research with Buck at FHCRC in 2005, Zou took an assistant professor position at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston. In November of 2008, however, Zou was laid off from the institution, along with 2,400 other UTMB staff members, after Hurricane Ike ripped the university apart that September, according to Raul Reyes, the director of media relations at the UTMB. In 2008, Zou wrote in a statement provided by UTMB that he was "disappointed" by the Nature retraction, and denied any misconduct on his part. While Zou agreed to the Nature retraction, he "declined to sign" the Science retraction, as reported online today in Science. But "we have no information to suspect misconduct," Natasha Pinol, senior communications officer at the AAAS/Science Office of Public Programs, told The Scientist in an email.
In addition to the irreproducible results, the PNAS paper also contained "figures inconsistent with original data," according to the FHCRC statement. While the PNAS retraction is "not embargoed," according to Managing Editor Daniel Salsbury, the journal refused to share any information with The Scientist before deadline, noting that the retraction would appear online after 2:00 p.m. EDT this afternoon. The research that won Buck the 2004 Nobel Prize, which she shared with olfactory researcher Richard Axel of Columbia University "for their discoveries of odorant receptors and the organization of the olfactory system," was unrelated to the research in the retracted papers.
Editor's Note (24th September): The original version of this article stated that no findings of misconduct had been made in the FHCRC's investigation. In fact, there has been no announcement of the investigation's findings one way or the other. The Scientist regrets the error.

Standard Chartered PLC (SCBFF - Free Report) has reached a $340 million settlement with the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) pertaining to money laundering in Iran. The agreement comes almost a fortnight after the London-based bank was accused by the New York's top regulating authority.
Earlier this month, the DFS had accused Standard Chartered bank of concealing transactions worth $250 billion (£160 billion) relating to Iran. According to the DFS, these transactions, which took place in the last decade, were in contempt of the U.S. laws and regulations.
As per the DFS, Standard Chartered had set up an operation named Project Gazelle to funnel Iranian money through American financial system. The company duped the regulators by removing the codes of transfer and carried out nearly 60,000 transactions with the Iranian government in the last ten years. This resulted in huge fee income for the bank at the cost of the national security of the U.S.
The tough stance taken by the DFS to revoke Standard Chartered's New York banking license prompted the bank's CEO Peter Sands to negotiate with the DFS. The weeklong negotiations created a worldwide frenzy. At the end of the hurried discussions, the parties reached a conclusive settlement, whereby the bank agreed to shell out hefty compensation to the regulatory authority.
According to Standard Chartered, out of the alleged claim of $250 billion money laundering, only $14 million worth of transactions violated the U.S. regulations. However, the DFS head Benjamin Lawsky has claimed in a statement that the parties did reach a consensus as to the amount involved in laundering. As the terms of the deal have not been made public yet, it would be too early to comment on such crucial points of the agreement.
Recently, the top executives at HSBC Holdings plc , another UK-based bank faced a tough inquiry by the congressional committee for their alleged involvement in money laundering during the period 2004-2010. The investigation revealed substantial lapses in the bank's anti-money laundering compliance. This resulted in a worldwide displacement of funds from riskier nations through the bank. Controversial transactions pertaining to its Iranian clientele and the illegal narcotics trade in Mexico drew maximum attention.
The DFS came down hard on the unwarranted activities of the banking giant and the huge settlement is a big victory for the regulator. Moreover, the state of cash strapped New York stands to benefit from this settlement, as the money would flow in its general fund.
Still, no one can ignore the fact that the huge compensation amount is being paid to a state regulatory authority, whereas the national regulators are nowhere in the scene. This is indeed baffling for an average investor.
Shares of Standard Chartered currently retain a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into a short-term Hold rating.
