PwC's Global Economic Crime Survey continues to provide insight into the state of economic crime worldwide.
Our 2011 survey turns a spotlight on the growing threat of cybercrime in a world that relies on the internet and connected technologies. The survey looks at the significance and impact of cybercrime and the ways in which it affects businesses worldwide.
The results of our 2011 survey show that 32 percent of Canadian organizations surveyed (compared to 34 percent globally) reported being victims of economic crime during the previous 12 months. This represents a decrease of 24 percent from our previous survey released in 2009.
This year's Canadian report is divided into two key sections:

Obama's "Mission Accomplished"
What his new faux-presidential seal symbolizes.
Saturday, May 3, 2008
What if it was all a dream? (And if so, what does the dream mean?) Ellen Ladowsky and Rob Long interpret Hillary's Bosnia fantasy. ... Hint: In the end they cancelled her party! ... 4:54 P.M.
Hillary Clinton has done best in this campaign when she's been on the ropes--the phenomenon everybody (OK, nobody) in the press calls Mutnemom, or reverse momentum. Recently, however, Clinton's been gaining in polls while Obama's been declining. You'd think that would hurt her in North Carolina and Indiana as voters focus more intently on the actual prospect of a Hillary presidency and less intently on Obama's flaws. But maybe, thanks to Hillary's seemingly hopeless elected-delegate position, she's achieved a kind of Permanent Mutnemom status, in which (happily for her) no number of primary wins can alter the perception that she's still on the ropes. ... 4:23 P.M. link
Jon Keller revisits Obama wrang-wrang Deval Patrick--the pioneering African-American governor of Massachusetts who now has a 56% disapproval rating. What's the difference between Obama and Patrick? They were both relatively inexperienced. They were both advised by David Axelrod. They both ran on race-transcending "hope." A veteran GOP political analyst recently described to me what he considered the key analytic distinction:
Deval Patrick is an idiot. Obama is not an idiot.
OK! In that case .... 12:36 P.M.

Down East 2013 ©
Lewis Robinson's first book, published in 2003, was a critically acclaimed collection of short stories titled Officer Friendly. His new novel is called Water Dogs (Random House, New York, New York; hardcover; 239 pages; $25), but if Robinson had wanted to continue the law-enforcement motif he might also have gone with Arrested Development.
The main character of this stark and suspenseful tale is a twenty-seven-year-old college dropout named Bennie who works at an animal shelter and inhabits the rotting family home — appropriately nicknamed "the Manse" — on fictional Meadow Island with his mulish older brother, Littlefield. Bennie and his siblings are not technically orphans, but following the sudden death of their father and subsequent estrangement from their mother, they've watched their lives tumble off a cliff. The question of how to grow into healthy and happy adulthood has left Bennie confounded and Littlefield enigmatic.
Bad goes to worse one Saturday afternoon when Bennie and Littlefield decide to play paintball against a trio of macho urchin divers in the teeth of a blizzard. During the storm, Bennie accidentally falls into a granite quarry and shatters his leg. Even more troublesome, one of the brothers' opponents, a shady drifter named LaBrecque, simply vanishes in the snow. Suspicion for the disappearance falls naturally on Littlefield, who doesn't help matters when he takes off without a word of explanation.
In spite of his injuries, Bennie undertakes a search for clues to his various puzzles. What really happened during that paintball game in the blizzard? Did LaBreque flee, or did he die? What does Littlefield know, and where has he gone? As Bennie pushes for answers, he runs afoul of LaBrecque's thuggish friends, but he unexpectedly finds himself helped by three female allies — his twin sister Gwen, his bright new flame Helen, and Littlefield's own flamboyant girlfriend. Inevitably, he finds himself trying to decipher his bizarre childhood, hoping to discover in his family memories some understanding of where their lives all went awry. With each remembering he is provoked by the possibility that there might have been some presentiment of Littlefield's strange and possibly criminal behavior.
Robinson, who grew up in Maine and lives in Portland, won both a PEN/Oakland-Josephine Miles Literary Award and a Whiting Writers' Award for Officer Friendly, and that same barbed diction and mordant humor are on display in his novel. Water Dogs is a mystery in the most intimate sense — an inquiry into how well we can ever know the moral landscape of another human being, even our own brother.

Police said 21-year-old Deuntae Jones was arrested after a traffic stop following the incident.

The employees said the group appeared to be upset and a fight quickly broke out and spilled into the parking lot when shots were fired.
Two victims were taken to a hospital from the restaurant and the third person ran to a nearby hotel and was transported to a hospital for treatment.

If the idea of a healthy ocean is subjective, then how can we devise a single index that captures this variability yet still provides an overall measure? The first part of the answer is more or less straightforward, although not without its own potential pitfalls. We designed the index to capture the full portfolio of values, or goals, that people have for healthy oceans. Just like a financial portfolio, one needs to know how all the pieces are doing to have a good sense of one's overall financial well-being.
The second part of the answer is much more challenging, and gets at the heart of the controversy about how health is defined. For each goal we set targets that allowed us to determine how close to optimal each goal was in any particular place. For some goals, such as wild-caught fisheries, decades of scientific research informed our choice of targets. For other goals we used so-called SMART principles—setting reference points that are specific, measurable, ambitious, realistic and time-bound. SMART principles are used widely in resource management, business and many other fields when setting meaningful, practical goals and assessing how well they are achieved.
One can quickly see where controversy may arise in the process of setting reference points. For the goal of maintaining biodiversity, we set a reference point of all species at no risk of extinction, not for species to be free of any impact from human activities. A nation can fish for hundreds of species and still achieve a strong biodiversity goal as long as every species is being harvested sustainably. We also treated all species equally, such that a species-rich place like Australia, where most species are at healthy levels, scored high even though 417 species are at risk. If you happen to care a lot about some of those threatened species, the score will not seem right. Similarly, for the goal of providing food, countries such as Canada and Russia are under-harvesting many fish stocks and were therefore penalized (the goal is to provide as much food as possible, sustainably), even though more fishing could increase pollution or potential habitat destruction.
Similar framing of the conservation challenge has been happening on land for awhile now: How can conservation be achieved given the necessary agricultural and urban modifications to the landscape? One answer is that conservation organizations are focusing more on the value of patchwork landscapes. Rather than press for wilderness or pristine areas, for example, they are focusing on undisturbed forest adjacent to farmland, which can also promote crop yield by supporting populations of pollinating insects, or city parks that can promote biodiversity along with recreation. By recognizing the value of these patchwork landscapes, conservation priorities shift dramatically. This paradigm shift seems to be happening more slowly for the ocean, in part because people do not live there, which creates an impression that we are not as directly connected as we are to land. It is now clear, however, that people are intimately connected to the ocean in diverse and important ways. All three big conservation organizations have recently reorganized their marine efforts to embrace the idea that people are part of nature. Interestingly, however, the Ocean Health Index is the first to put these ideas into action in assessing ecosystem health. Some experts are already interested in adopting it for freshwater lakes and rivers.
Remaking conservation for the future
The initial calculation of the index is not meant to be the last word, but instead a pioneering first attempt. Later this year we will roll out its application in the U.S., Fiji and Brazil. These are the scales at which most decisions are made, and we hope the tests will make the index even more accurate and relevant. The index, for example, could help inform whether to expand offshore wind energy in the U.S., whether land or ocean conservation measures will benefit coral reefs in Fiji, and how marine zoning plans in Brazil may affect overall ocean health by allocating different uses to different parts of the ocean.

Mad Fox Brewing Company
Online Reservations
This is some of the best food in the area. When you take the time to make your own breads, ketchups, ground meats, and make it taste good, then you are way beyond your competitors. There are no competitors for Mad Fox in the area. Simply amazing food all the time. The key to their success...consistency.
Mad Fox is a very good restaurant with an excellent brewery. We really enjoyed the team-oriented service--we were never left sitting on our hands. Wings are excellent (but pricey), frickles excellent, pretzel is ok (better at Cap City or Glory Days). Excellent IPA went well with an outstanding burger, well-cooked burger with a tasty bun. This is a fun place that is worth a visit.
Is there such a thing as a family bar? This is it. We had Mothers Day brunch here and the restaurant was filled with well-behaved children and their happy grown UPS.
the pizzas are amazing, the wings are super crispy, and well everything is good
The food is exceptional and ALL hand made from scratch. That goes a long way in my book.
The service can be a little slow here, but the food and beer are always great.
They are brewing great beers at Mad Fox!, hopefully the food and (especially) the service will catch up...
what better excuse than brunch at Mad fox? great vegetable breakfast pizza and banana bread french toast.
I have been to Mad Fox many times, but this was my first visit for brunch. Well worth it. I had the breakfast pizza. Yummy! Both of the other diners I was with had the steak and eggs. It received rave reviews especially for the pungent blue cheese!
If you are looking for a neighborhood gem with a variety of dishes and great beer - look no more -- Mad Fox fits the bill. Dine here at least twice a month. Yummy burgers and appetizers. Love the flight of beers.
We go here fairly regularly and have ever since their opening. The new chef, Andrew Dixon continues to improve the menu save for one thing. What is so hard about making a chocolate cake something chocolate for dessert. I have tried anything I would eat for dessert such as the runny caramel pudding and am not impressed in the least. They would do so well as to hire a pastry chef. I have heard others say this, too. Now for the positive; I adored my inferno burger which was the special Wednesday night. Best burger I have had there. I still say they have the best onion rings in Northern VA and tried to tomato soup for the first time. It was zesty and delicious.
Mad Fox Brewing Co. was great to go to after work for Happy Hour. The ambience was energetic and they had a great selection of beers. I would come here again with friends.
My wife and I visited Mad Fox on a Saturday night and were very happy we did. The food was excellent, from the warm soft pretzel appetizer and house salad, to the Tuna special and Meat Loaf Mignon. The meals were well seasoned, excellently presented, and portioned just right. The food also paired extremely well with the selection of in-house beers (the Saison was especially good), and even a nice selection of wines by the glass. We will definitely return.
what can say about Mad Fox that likely hasn't already been said? The food was delicious, caramelized onion jam with blue cheese on a burger?? Yes please! The beer is absolutely spot on, and served at the right temperature rather than cold and fizzy like so many places. Service was excellent, knowledgeable about the beer they were serving, informed about the food, this is very much my kind of place.
Mad Fox is part of a small Town Center concept--U-shaped cluster of buildings with shops on the lower levels. I arrived from the north on Rt. 7 and almost missed it since the side of the "U" they're in faces south. There is free parking in a garage onsite. Plan to arrive early since you may need to park several levels underground. The service was great! The Maitre d' was accommodating for extra guests, and the waiter was wonderful--prompt, accurate and unobtrusive. The food was good. My steak salad was cooked to temperature and the frickles were nicely drained. The fried cheesecake was a batter bomb, but the flavor was good. "Gastro pubs" are everywhere now, so the novelty is gone. However, Mad Fox does a nice job with this concept.
I have been to Mad Fox twice now, both times for dinner. Food was better on the first visit and those who had beer said it was excellent. The Asian wings, BBQ sandwich, and Mac and cheese were winners. I would suggest not being in a hurry to get in and out. Service was a bit slow, but not an issue if you aren't on a schedule. Great option to not have to go over to Clarendon or Courthouse on the weekend, where the wait can be long for dinner.
An "almost" gastropub with an extensive list of in-house beers and wines, including a selection of Virginia wines and whiskeys!
Met a buddy there last week and we were looking for light meals. They had a great salmon salad that hit the spot. New place, good neighborhood. I will go back.
We have been here several times and enjoy the food. The service was so disappointing though. Very slow. Meal was half over before we got our wine. Waiter was very pleasant, like all of them there, but seemed to forget we were there.
Mad Fox is a great place, primarily for the craft beers they brew. The menu is limited, but generally good. Prices are reasonable, unless you go with the expensive "specials." Waitstaff is friendly and knowledgeable, but the wait for food to come out is a bit on the long side, even on those rare occasions when they are not busy. Still, the place is comfortable and the beers are so good that waiting for the food is not a burden.
We were happy to find a good local, non chain restaurant , with an interesting and delicious menu, and good beer! - We will definitely go back!
House brews were excellent and the food was good. I'll definitely be back!
It may seem odd to label a brew pub "fit for foodies," yet this one merits the appellation if any does. There are interesting additions/twists that stand out from the "typical" menu of such places, such as bitterballen (try them!) or the outstanding kale salad, and there is evident care in the kitchen for the quality of every dish, the freshness of ingredients, and everything (I think) made on the premises - even the mustard is Mad Fox's own special formula. Servers are proud of these special touches and will tell you about them. Wide selection of brews; which changes constantly (so try the option of ordering a taste of six different ones). If you're not a beer person, the wine list is good too. This was our third visit; we'll go back.
This was our second Sunday brunch in less than a month. Took the grandkids for a big family brunch. Everyone loved it.
Sat outside to enjoy the uncommonly cool and dry August evening. It also allows us to take our little (well-behaved) dog...there are always other diners eating/ drinking outside with their dogs and not once have I witnessed any probkems with overly rambunctious pets (I can't say the same for the way some parents allow their kids to act, but that's another whole issue). Service was prompt. I enjoyed the crispy fried chicken while my wiffe went for a pasta dish. Both were generous portions and tasty. I always enjoy their Kolsch and wife gets an overpriced chardonnay. Still, we enjoy Mad Fox and will surely go again.
My son picked "the fox restaurant" for his 4th birthday dinner. Great for kids and adults! Food, beer, and the kids menu are great. The staff is always friendly and knowledgable. Highly recommend! Definitely get a growler to take some beer home with you and I love the Fig and Balsamic Blues pizza!
I've been going to Mad Fox for several years now and I am never disappointed. This restaurant LOOKS and FEELS upscale but at modest prices. The staff and servers are attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Not only is it a great brew pub, but it also is a family friendly and genuinely warm location for unwinding and relaxing after a long workday. Bring your friends and family along (they have a kids menu) and be prepared to enjoy casual dining in an elegant atmosphere!I Noise is generally not a problem at family hour, but yes, the pub can get loud if there are groups, special events, or a late night crowd having a good time. Nothing too rowdy -- patrons seem to genuinely enjoy and respect the 'neighborly feel' of this place. Enjoy!
We went as a group, first time visitors, and had a delightful drinking and eating experience. The menu is innovative and quite varied. Pizza's are out of this world delicious. Try the samplers and find a beer that you want to have a full glass of. Service was superb! They made a Swiss-style birthday treat for our friend from Switzerland who shared her birthday with us.
Our waitress was friendly,knowledgeable about the beer...answered our questions and had a lovely smile!
Light on food, especially sides. Good beer. Convenient free parking garage.
First time for the BF and me. Great neighborhood find. Beers recommended by the server were excellent. Though tempted by the terrific Restaurant Week deal, we were in the mood for the burgers, particularly the bacon jam burger that had been noted in the Post's Weekend section. It was fantastic (the bleu cheese was not overwehlming) as was the Mad Fox Burger ordered by my BF. Both were cooked to perfected medium rare as we requested. Onion rings were great - crispy with tasty dipping sauce; fries, meh! Would definitely return for casual, inexpensive dining. Big bar area with TVs to watch your favorite game on the other side of the quiter dining area.
The food is excellent but the beer is exemplary, as is the service. Mad Fox has managed to nail an English bitters both in the cask and on tap. Indeed, they have done such an outstanding job with their bitters that when I closed my eyes I could have sworn I was enjoying a pint at a favorite public house in Maida Vale, London. The only difference was the food and service -- Mad Fox excels in both categories. Their menu is foodie worthy and their service is attentive yet unobtrusive. Also setting them apart is the quality of their APA and IPA. Their Broad Street IPA is the best IPA in the DC area. All in all, a superb experience at the Mad Fox from the beer to the food to the service. My wife and I will be returning!
We love Mad Fox! Excellent beers, eclectic food. The burger with bacon jam is fantastic. We've been there as a couple, with our baby, and with a group and had a great time with each experience.
I love the food and the service here. Makes some great home brew beer and enjoy every minute of it.
From frickles to chicken dishes, served very nicely. Food tasted great and our server was on top of our needs.
Tht broiled oysters were great. This was my second viisit for dinner and the oysters were my entre both times
Very friendly and energetic.....and as a foodie...I was really impressed that everything (except the gluten-free pizza dough..aw shucks!!) was from scratch....even the ketchup and mayo!!!! Had the special limited edition cabernet beer.....OUTSTANDING! Can't wait to go back!
Mad Fox has a new menu that now compliments their numerous beer offerings. (Although they only off one white wine). The menu satisfied the "foodie" in our five consumers. A special shout out to the "MOB" pizza. I ordered a small and took two slices home. They were even more delicious the next day. Wait service was good. There were a few things that had to be asked for: ketchup for a burger, steak knife for a steak, a drink refill. If these things had not taken place I would have given the service "5 stars". Ajacent parking garage makes parking easy. I would assume that parking would be tough on a busy friday or saturday night. The beer choices were "great" and the waiter very knowledgable of the various brews. Daily specials!
Food was very good at the neighborhood brew pub. Burger was excellent and they had a number of specials that were interesting. We tried the pizza special as an appetizer and it was fresh and flavorful. Brews were good too, particularly the cask selection. Bar was packed for a Friday night and weather was perfect for outside dinning.
My girlfriend suggested this restaurant so we thought we'd try it on a whim. Can't say enough of how much we enjoyed it! The service was great, the in house beer was amazing, and the Bacon Jam Burger was THE best burger I've ever had! Highly recommended!! Definitely revisiting this place!
Our first time at MFBC was worth writing about! The decor is very simple, but good for a micro brew and neighborhood bar feel. The food....chicken livers, black bean burger, meatloaf, and butternut squash cannelloni....was all very very good! And the Punkinator beer was out of this world, too bad it has to be a seasonal brew!!! We will definitely be back to. MFBC in the very near future!!!
I've been to Mad Fox many times, but the most recent experience was the best so far. Our server was knew the menus top to bottom and was able to answer our questions and offer suggestions based on what we were looking for. The food and service were outstanding, once again!
They brew their own beer and the samples are outstanding. Service is very good, pizza is some of the best, and recommended spot to hang out in Falls Church.
Finally made it to Mad Fox. Great kids menu, takes reservations, generous seating space, and hip decor. Friendly, prompt service. Clearly lots of regulars. Fried pickles were awesome. Bacon wrapped meatloaf tasty and generous portion. Burger requested medium well served medium/medium rare. Beers tasty and good varieties - imperial Russian stout my favorite of the night. Oh, and easy free parking. Will definitely return and add as an alternative to Dogfish Head Alehouse and Ramparts in Alexandria.
This was my second visit to MFB, and I'm already looking forward to my third. The beer is fantastic (beer menu is extensive, obviously) - try the beer flight! The food? Top notch...both visits, it was high quality, served at the right temperature, delicious, fresh ingredients, presented beautifully. Kudos to the chef and his staff. Service was a bit slow (but tolerably so), but it was a very busy evening (happy hour and a corporate event). I will definitely be going back; this place is great!
The brandied wee heavy stout was not only the most unusual beer I have ever had; it was one of the best. The bacon jam burger was also very good. The place was noisy but we could hear each other easily.
My son and I really like going to MadFox. We enjoy the food, and always have a nice time.
Food was good, service was great, we'll be back. Amazing beer list.
I have eaten at Mad Fox over 50 times and it is consistently good. Chef Andrew is a master at his craft. The food combinations and flavors are something to be celebrated. When you make all the food in-house including the condiments, then you are doing something right. Do yourself a favor and go. It'll be on of the best meals you've had in a very long time.
The food and fresh beers at Mad Fox keep bringing us back. The bitterballen are a special treat as are the sampling flights of beer.

Oxford United winger Rigg set for scan
10:00am Tuesday 20th August 2013 in United News By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
Sean Rigg will undergo a scan tomorrow to find out the severity of his hamstring injury.
The winger pulled up while sprinting for a ball just 24 minutes into Oxford United's 3-1 win at Torquay United on Saturday.
He was immediately substituted and manager Chris Wilder's initial diagnosis was the 24-year-old would be out for at least four weeks.
More will be known after the scan, with the results likely to be revealed on Thursday.
Rigg's injury provides an opportunity for someone else to break into the starting XI for Saturday's home game against Wycombe Wanderers.
One of the alternatives is fellow left winger Callum O'Dowda, who will get a chance to stake a claim this afternoon, when United's development squad take on Bournemouth.
The behind-closed-doors fixture will be played at the Championship club's training ground (2).

Panorama / Helsinki Finland 01 /Arabia is the part of Helsinki......where the university for arts and design UIAH (TAIK) is located. There is nothing much more to see in Arabia - but maybe that is just fine. So studying works out quite fine there.Next to some old wooden houses the old araria-factory is located, which hosts some design-offices, show-rooms and a shop, some parts left behind by the arabia company. Almost all the rest of that building is taken over by the UIAH (TAIK). Close to UIAH a new living arae is built, a Nu-Media-City. Thit is what i was told. And sooner or later probably all of arabia-city will be taken over by young dynamic creativ progressive Photographers, Designers and Movie-Makers. At least this seems to be the master plan of the City of Helsinki. panorama 01 :: panorama 02 :: panorama 03 :: panorama 04 |

Spain's Idyllic Mediterranean Island
From the moment you ease your bike onto the road, you'll feel it: Mallorca's irresistible allure. Maybe it's the heavenly climate of this sunny Mediterranean isle. Or the rugged Serra de Tramuntana, with its precipitous peaks and plunging gorges. The nearly deserted back roads, where vigorous climbs and curlicue descents thrill cyclists of all persuasions - including the pros. Maybe it's the forgotten valleys, where pine forests and ancient olive trees thrive and medieval monasteries keep watch over centuries-old villages. Or the shimmering sea fringed by secret pebble beaches . Welcome to Mallorca. Fall in love with it all.
Day 1 Endless vistas of the turquoise Mediterranean Sea Rendezvous in the resplendent port city of Palma then spin through the countryside, passing picturesque windmills and drystone walls Savor delectable seafood at a former fortress on the Bay of Palma.
Day 2 The dramatic Serra de Tramuntana mountain range - cycling paradise found! Ascend the ultra-curvy Orient-Bunyola route through some of Mallorca's most stunning scenery Overnight in enchanting Valldemossa, once a Moorish hamlet.
Days 3-4 Explore the island's untouched western reaches on a coastal ride A spin on sinuous lanes leads through pine forest and near the monastery that once hosted Frédéric Chopin and George Sand Ready for a break? Seaside Deià invites a pause, its stone terraces lush with wild lavender and citrus groves Only the strongest riders will be tempted to brave the road to Sa Calobra, a thrilling roller-coaster of hairpin turns plunging 3,000 feet to the sea.
Days 5-6 Pedal the narrow winding peninsula road to breathtaking Cap de Formentor, a bluff at the island's northernmost tip offering incredible views Opt for an afternoon of relaxation at the hotel - perhaps an orange blossom body treatment appeals Up for one last spin? Follow flatter terrain along the southern side of the Serra de Tramuntana range into a fertile region dotted with orange, olive and walnut orchards.

Add support for ticket dependencies to Trac
NOTE: The 0.10 version of this plugin suffers from many systemic design flaws. The 0.11 version has been re-written from the ground up to avoid these, however I do not currently have the time to invest in a backport. Please do not file tickets against the 0.10 version, as I will close all of them as wontfix.
NOTE 2 The 0.11 version requires a version of Genshi from trunk (or >=0.5 once that is released).
Just put the ticket numbers that a given ticket is blocking in the Blocking field. Enter just the number, no leading #. Separate multiple numbers with commas.
Make sure you add the custom fields as shown below.
You need to install graphviz to use the dependency graphs.
Bugs/Feature Requests
Existing bugs and feature requests for MasterTicketsPlugin are here.

Refs #10194: Implemented a fix for the IntegrityError when importing tickets with the TicketImportPlugin and not defining a changetime in the dataset (or in some cases of using the same changetime for multiple tickets).
The ticket id, time and field columns must be unique in the ticket_change table. Importing a set of tickets that are all assigned a changetime of "now" will result in an IntegrityError whenever two or more ticket share a relation with a single other ticket.
This feels like more of a workaround than a solution, but it will hopefully do for now.

Leno - This Is Your Life!
20 May 2005
Little Leno is growing up! Those of you who have been following Leno's development will know that Oprah gave birth to him in May 2004! He lived in an enclosure reserved exclusively for mother koalas and their new born joeys! Other joeys included Tucker, Nelly and Alexia. However, due to Alexia's mother not producing enough milk, Oprah was called upon to become Alexia's surrogate mum. Alexia is two months younger than Leno who, being 10 months old at the time was almost due to be weaned. Leno was therefore moved to another enclosure where he found he was the only male! He had a lovely time climbing all over the girls and he has been having a bottle feed from up to three times a day. A big thanks must go to all the staff at the Dingo Diner who provided hot water everyday to heat Leno's bottle, he is very appreciative! However, at a whopping 3.15kg (6.9 pounds) it is time for Leno to grow up! Soon he will be weaned and feeding solely on eucalyptus leaf. This week he took a big step and moved into another enclosure with Boris (four years) and Tucker (15 months.) This is usually a bit of a rocky process for young males, just like the initiation of teenagers into high school. There is a distinct hierarchy of the tough older kids and the younger boys have to learn their place. In addition male koalas can be very territorial and thus introducing new individuals can cause quite a stir. Luckily for Leno, he couldn't have asked for a better housemate. Boris is our largest koala, weighing in at over 9kg (19.8 pounds), and is a bit of a gentle giant. Leno experienced his first night unscathed and managed to stay out of trouble, and has been flourishing ever since!Our Amazing Koalas
Koalas vary in size and colour depending on where they live in Australia. Koalas found in the southern distributions (Southern NSW and Victoria) tend to be ...more

The Residence was completed in 1894 during the time when the first Earl of Cromer was Consul General in Egypt. Lord Cromer had arrived in Cairo as Sir Evelyn Baring in 1883 to become HM Agent, Minister Plenipotentiary and Consul General. He moved into the Consulate, a large rambling house in poor condition, on the Rue Maghrabi. By 1885 Baring was looking for a plot of land on which to build more functional offices and accommodation. He first considered surplus land adjacent to The English Church, which was bordered by busy roads. But there was a considerably more attractive plot adjacent to the Nile in what became known as Garden City.
The original plot of land covered the area which is now the Residence and garden and used to run down to the Nile until the construction of the Corniche which cut off the house from the river. The plot was purchased in 1890 for a total sum of £2,580 and work began on the Residence, which housed both the offices and living accommodation. Work was completed in 1894.

October 3, 2012
by Hank Cardello
With two-thirds of American adults tipping the scales these days as overweight or obese, the same lawyers and activists who took on Big Tobacco are now sharpening their knives for their next target: Big Food. A look at activist crusades against the automobile, tobacco, and other industries over the last century provides three lessons: The war will be long, both sides will dig in, and the losses will be unnecessarily heavy all around.
History shows there is a better way, but it will demand unusual cooperation by all, especially by the $1.2 trillion food industry, whose primary challenge is to recognize the attack not as a threat but rather as an incredible new profit opportunity. The activists, for their part, must engage the industry not with diatribe, which can lead to protracted legal battles, but by understanding the industry's pressures and playing to its best interests. Common ground abounds for both sides. If the activists discover it, they will see that the industry's marketing savvy and financial clout can be turned into instruments for benefiting consumers.
More than a dozen law firms that took on tobacco firms in the last decade now have filed suits against companies like ConAgra and PepsiCo, charging them with misleading labeling and health claims. In September, New York City's Board of Health approved Mayor Michael Bloomberg's ban on sales of sodas bigger than 16 ounces at restaurants, movie theaters, and food carts. It will go into effect next March if the soda lobby fails to contest it successfully. And Bloomberg isn't finished. He's crusading against junk food in prisons and potato chips in Bronx bodegas. The Federal Trade Commission recently won a settlement against Dannon over claims about its products' health benefits. In July, the Center for Science in the Public Interest sued General Mills for allegedly putting artificial ingredients in Nature Valley products marketed as natural.
The history of activist movements against an industry's controversial products and practices is a study of long, costly battles with little quick relief, especially to consumers. Consider that by the 1960s more than 50,000 people a year were dying in car crashes, despite the fact that crash experts had been sounding the alarm about safer car designs since as early as the 1930s. The alarm went unheeded by U.S. automakers for many more decades; they embraced safety only when they lost market share to more safety-conscious competitors. Consider, too, that more than 2.5 million lives could have been saved if everyone had quit smoking when the U.S. Surgeon General first unveiled tobacco's dangers back in the 1960s. The tobacco industry fought for 50 years to stave off public health efforts to tax and ban smoking, and many lives were lost.
Well-meaning activists are dusting off their old strategies of research, regulation, and litigation to use against Big Food. Trying to force the risk-averse food industry to jettison time-proven brands and add healthier products will be a slow process. The industry has long memories of expensive, high-profile flops. Even countering the lawsuits will be less costly than risking another debacle such as New Coke or McDonald's McLean Deluxe sandwich.
Yet both sides are overlooking a golden opportunity that could help everybody win, food companies and consumers alike. In fact, the obesity crisis may just be the food industry's biggest market opportunity over the next 10 years.
Hard to swallow? Consider what might have happened if American automakers in the 1960s had begun designing and building safer and more fuel-efficient cars just after Ralph Nader first published his seminal book,Unsafe at Any Speed. Instead, their response to activists like Nader (whose book took the industry to task for resisting safety features) was to dig in their heels. They resisted adopting voluntary safety improvements because, they claimed, "safety doesn't sell."
So the U.S. auto industry let foreign competitors like Volvo and Mercedes-Benz take the lead in adding features such as three-point seat belts, crumple zones, and side air bags. It also allowed Japanese automakers to make strides in safety and fuel-efficiency and rapidly gain new U.S. customers. U.S. automakers found out the hard way that safety did indeed sell. By 2009, when two-thirds of the public said that safety was the most important factor in buying a new car, U.S. car manufacturers' share of the American market had plunged by more than half since 1965, from 91% to 44%. Safety turned out to be a huge moneymaker for the auto industry, not an immense financial burden.
In contrast to automakers, look at how the beer industry responded to activist groups such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving, which began targeting the alcoholic beverage companies about three decades ago. Top brewing companies got ahead of the issue. They worked to lighten up both the alcohol content and the calories in their beer, and they began a campaign to encourage people to drink responsibly. Light beer now accounts for four of the top five best-selling beers. The top brewers have doubled their profit margins, even while losing market share to wine and liquor and spending $875 million over the past three decades—and while telling people not to drink too much.
The soft drink industry has been fighting activists who paint it as the bad guy in the obesity crisis. It should take a cue from its brethren in beer, and, indeed, from its own success in selling more water and fewer sugar-sweetened products. Consider that soft-drink makers today enjoy some of the highest operating profit margins in the food industry, even though some have reduced their calorie footprint (the average calories sold per capita) by a quarter over the last decade. Zero-calorie carbonated beverages and bottled water are now a bigger part of the mix, and consumers are clamoring for them. Instead of fighting the campaign against Big Gulps, the soft drink industry should be looking for the next big opportunity.
New research is already proving that the profit opportunities are there. Onestudy by my organization, the Hudson Institute, has found that food companies with higher percentages of healthier food sales in their portfolios report healthier bottom lines. Hudson, an independent policy research organization, recently looked at 15 consumer goods companies that sold varying percentages of "better for you" products—ones with reduced calories, marketed in smaller portion sizes, or whole-grain and other foods generally recognized as more wholesome. These products accounted for less than 40% of the companies' sales between 2007 and 2011 but drove more than 70% of their sales growth. Companies selling above-average levels of better-for-you foods and beverages enjoyed higher operating profits, larger returns to shareholders, and a better image among consumers, branding studies have shown.
In short, the food industry can still enjoy healthy profits while doing the right thing, urging restraint and selling products that deliver more nutrients or fewer calories.
What will it take to get the entire food industry to hear this message, instead of spending time and resources fending off its attackers? First, activists and the industry need to change the rules of engagement. When hardcore activists begin to oppose an industry, industry executives become defensive and competitive. Under attack, they grow even more opposed to change and dig in and fortify their positions. Message to activists: Pursuing harsh regulations and litigation only prolongs the time it takes to reach a solution.
Materials science provides the perfect analogy for this problem. When it is backed into a corner, the food industry, which is highly traditional, can become an immovable, impervious solid. The activists display combustible gas behaviors. They're highly reactive, sometimes explosive, but unable to change the solid very much. Only a liquid state can get anything done, but neither side is willing to undergo a fundamental change.
The public health outcry over less nutritious food promises to be very combustible. Many have compared it to the fight against Big Tobacco, which is now paying a $206 billion settlement to states that claim that smoking-related illnesses increased their Medicare costs. Activists hope to paint food as, like tobacco, a highly addictive threat to public health.
The escalating war against Big Food has a key difference: Unlike tobacco, food companies manufacture a necessity to public health, and nobody can argue that it shouldn't exist. Its antagonists need to approach this industry differently. Most of all, food executives need to look behind the vitriol and see a very real opportunity, to make more money and do good at the same time.

Signing of WDC 2014 marks World Industrial Design Day
Cape Town has marked World Industrial Design day by signing a host city agreement between the City of Cape Town and the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (Icsid), confirming Cape Town as the World Design Capital for 2014.
At a ceremony held in Cape Town on Friday, June 29, Icsid President Soon-In Lee explained that WDC is not a template, but a model, a guide and a platform, allowing cities to adapt to their needs. He went on to say that WDC 2014 is about transforming and redesigning urban life by providing real solutions for real problems in Cape Town and the developing world. He concluded by stating that it was an exciting time for not only Cape Town, but Africa as well.
Mayor Patricia de Lille echoed his sentiments, "The central thesis of the City of Cape Town's approach to WDC 2014. Excellence in design is using what you have to realise what you want. It is designing the change we want to see in our city, using the very building blocks of which our city is comprised. By using design, we could transform housing developments into desirable homes that hold value for the poor, as home ownership does for the middle-class. We could be smarter about how we use the space in our urban centres, creating vibrant, liveable spaces which can be extended as needed. We don't build cities in the ideal mode and expect them to remain that way. Cities grow organically.
"Design is not about central planning. It is about networks that jointly make up an attitude, an approach and a direction. The task of transforming the city is one that requires the energies of as many partners as possible, within our borders and without. We sign WDC 2014 on behalf of those partners. And we sign on behalf of the people of Cape Town."
"It was a competitive bid decision to name Cape Town as WDC 2014," said judging panelist Dilki de Silva. She said that it was not about winners and losers but "...about choosing a city at the right time when [it] is able to show its accomplishments and work together".
The new WDC 2014 logo was also unveiled during the ceremony. Looking ahead to 2014, the Icsid will organise, in collaboration with Cape Town, a number of signature events, galas, conferences and a design week during World Design Capital 2014.

Finding clothes and hair for some of the characters (Wendala, Sandy, Marion and Random-his hair w'bandana) will be a problem as the selection is limited. But I do have a prelim of Luciana to share.
What's the verdict? Close or no cigar?

Waves of Glass
The light arrived well packed and on time. It provides substantial light for my remodeled bathroom where it is placed on handmade tile above the sink and mirror. My objective was to find a sconce that did not have any metal on it which is very difficult to find ~ this gorgeous wave of three glass panels isn't entirely opaque so my contractor recommended frosted bulbs so they wouldn't show through as much. You definitely see the bulbs but they aren't obtrusive. I say "go for it." The customer service I received was fantastic! By:J.M. , Homeowner (Seattle) Free Shipping. Price Guarantee. Easy Returns.

If you are nearing retirement age and your retirement nest egg isn't where it needs to be to provide for a comfortable retirement, then you may have some catching up to do. Luckily, there are ways to do this, and you can even get some help from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Start with a Plan
Your retirement is a far too important goal to just leave to chance and hope for the best. Like a general facing a military campaign, you need a "plan of attack" to determine what your objectives are, what resources are available, and how to overcome the challenges you will face.
The key to a successful retirement savings plan is to determine how much you'll need and then develop a plan to achieve your goal. There are a number of things your plan must consider.
Here are a few:
- Your Desired Lifestyle in Retirement: How much annual income will you need in retirement? Determining this starts with analyzing your spending now, envisioning what your lifestyle will be in retirement, and how it may be different than now.
- Longevity: There is a possibility that you (and your spouse, if you're married) may live a long life. This requires you to withdraw less from retirement assets to ensure that enough will be available in case you live a long time. Put another way: more retirement savings are needed to provide a source of income for potentially many years.
- Health Care Costs: Health care costs for retirees are a major part of retiree's spending, especially later in life, and this will increase as costs rise and Medicare benefits are likely reduced for future retirees.
- Inflation: The dollars you have saved now will buy less in the future as inflation erodes their purchasing power.
Developing your plan is best done with help from a professional such as a financial planner.
Commit to Savings Goals
With your plan in place, you should have clear targets for how much you need to save each year to meet your retirement goal. You should also have a clear spending plan that allows for enough of your income to be set aside for savings. This may require you to sacrifice in some areas, such as driving a nicer/newer car, dining out a lot, or taking expensive vacations. This may be uncomfortable, but the pay off is a more comfortable retirement. The next step is to determine which type of accounts to add your savings to.
Retirement Accounts and Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)
A Qualified Retirement Plan account, such as a 401(k), is often the first place to add to retirement savings. Automatic payroll deferrals make it simple to pay yourself first. In many cases, your employer matches your contribution. If you are age 50 or older, you can make additional "catch-up" contributions.
The second is to supplement with IRAs. If you qualify, you can make tax-deductible contributions or Roth contributions. If your income is too high to qualify for tax-deductible or Roth contributions, you can contribute to an IRA on an after-tax basis. As with qualified plans, you can make additional "catch-up" contributions if you are age 50 or older. By making contributions to tax-advantaged accounts like Qualified Plans and IRAs, you can benefit from the tax-deferred compounded growth over time.
Non-retirement Accounts
If your savings targets call for more than can be added to Qualified Plans and IRAs, you can add to non-qualified formats like brokerage accounts. While non-qualified accounts are not tax-deferred, they offer some important tax-advantages: the "basis" of the accounts are not taxed on distribution, and dividends and capital gains typically qualify for special tax rates.
You may also decide to add to deferred annuity contracts. Deferred annuities often allow guarantee riders to be added, which can help protect against the risk of losing principal due to market fluctuations. However, deferred annuities can have high expenses and be illiquid, so care should be taken in choosing these vehicles.
Cash Management and Emergency Funds
An important component of your retirement savings plan is to make sure you are properly managing your expenses so that you don't have any surprise expenses that might derail your plan. This includes having enough reserves on hand for emergencies.
Debt Management
Fees and interest paid on debts like credit cards can keep you from meeting your goals. One way to look at debt interest is as a negative interest income — it works against your savings goals. Your retirement plan should include a plan to eliminate consumer debt and manage longer-term debt such as mortgages. Maintaining high debt balances in retirement increases your fixed expenses, which increases the spending you need to live on, and also reduces your flexibility in retirement.
Income taxes will be part of your expenses in retirement, so reducing income taxes will also reduce your spending needs. Since withdrawals from pre-tax accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs will be taxable, you can reduce taxes by controlling how much you withdraw from pre-tax accounts. One way to do this is to have enough of your retirement savings in non-qualified accounts to provide income, especially in the early years of retirement.
By having a plan and sticking to it, you can put yourself in a position to have a better, more secure retirement, even if you are currently behind on your saving.

After the swelling finally subsided, Mo Williams' worse fears were realized. The thumb injured on Dec. 22 would need surgery, meaning the team leader would miss six to eight weeks.
Williams is more than just a guard for the Jazz. He is the emotional leader, responsible for the pace and the attitude the team plays with. The team took some time to adjust without their leader, losing three of their following four games.
The point guard is the most important position in the NBA. Of the top five teams in the NBA, only Miami lacks an All-Star quality point guard. The Jazz players' best seasons were behind All-Star point guards John Stockton and Deron Williams.
Mo has proven capable of handling the role of the point, but now the responsibility will fall on Jamaal Tinsley and Earl Watson, both of whom are past their prime and, at best,e quality backups.
Now more than ever, NBA fans and front offices are expecting the Jazz to pull off a big trade before the Feb. 21 deadline. But do the Jazz need to make such a move?
Utah has several options on the roster already. In the final minutes in Monday's win over the Dallas Mavericks, Corbin went with a backcourt of Alec Burks, Randy Foye, and Gordon Hayward. The three led the Jazz to a 13-0 run to close out the Mavericks, 100-94.
The Jazz toyed with this idea in the preseason in case of injury. This is an effective lineup due to the players' size. Plus, fans of Burks love the increase in minutes for the youngster.
Should the Jazz seriously consider making a trade, a roster spot would have to be cleared prior. Raja Bell has yet to be bought out, holding on to the 15th spot. Kevin Murphy, who is assigned by Utah to the D-League, could be cut by today without the Jazz having to guarantee the remainder of his contract. If the Jazz want to add another player, Murphy's status on Friday will give fans a clearer idea what the front office is thinking.
Whatever the plan is, the Jazz find themselves in a much better situation than they did just a few weeks ago. The most difficult part of the schedule is finished, and starting Monday, 15 of the next 20 will be played in Salt Lake City.
The remaining schedule is considered one of the easiest in the NBA. The gut feeling is they will use the lighter schedule to wait for Williams, and use their current lineup to gain ground in the Western Conference.
