MENLO PARK, Calif., March 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Increasingly, internal audit professionals must possess a strong understanding of hot areas of technology such as cloud computing and social media – and the risks they bring – in order to perform their jobs at a high level, according to a new study from Protiviti (www.protiviti.com), a global consulting firm. However, many internal auditors say their technology IQ could be improved a few points, both in understanding new technologies and employing technology-enabled auditing processes.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090115/AQTH541LOGO)
With a focus on technology, the sixth edition of Protiviti's Internal Audit Capabilities and Needs Survey (www.protiviti.com/IAsurvey) assesses internal auditors' skills and knowledge, and identified those competencies most in need of improvement. More than 800 internal audit professionals from around the world participated in the survey.
"Technological advancements in virtually every organization are creating new challenges and opportunities for internal audit professionals," said Brian Christensen, Protiviti executive vice president and head of global internal audit for the firm. "Not only must internal auditors enhance their knowledge and understanding of new technologies and how they support the business, but they also must leverage these technologies to perform their jobs more effectively."
Key Findings of the 2012 Survey
When it comes to general technical knowledge, internal auditors rank social media applications and cloud-based computing as their number one and two business priorities and the areas where their skills are most in need of improvement, according to survey results. These findings are a change from one year ago when IFRS and GTAG 13 (Global Technology Audit Guide) – Fraud Prevention and Detection in an Automated World – topped the same list. "Unlike some other areas of technology, social media and cloud-based applications are often used across an entire organization and that creates new enterprise-wide risks," Christensen said. "As usage continues to grow, the internal audit function – in partnership with executive management – is being challenged to identify, assess, monitor and mitigate these new and emerging risks appropriately."
Other key findings include:
- There is significant potential for improvement via technology-enabled audit. One in three organizations does not utilize software applications to administrate its audit processes. Among those that do, 27 percent use only basic word processing or spreadsheets (more than any other tools). Of those that do not, just one in four plan to implement such a tool within the next 12 months.
- In looking at the use of technology in auditing business process controls, respondents ranked "IT asset management" as a top area for improvement. "Internal audit's role in auditing and testing controls related to policies for technology tools and devices is critical to managing the associated risks," Christensen said. "There's significant cost associated with IT assets. Even a relatively small percentage of 'loss' in terms of hardware or data could result in significant financial losses and, in the event of a security or data breach, potentially devastating effects in terms of regulatory noncompliance and reputation loss."
- A surprisingly large number of organizations (60 percent) do not leverage data analysis or technology-enabled audits to prevent fraud. However, more than half of all organizations use these processes to detect, monitor and investigate fraud.
- Consistent with findings from previous years of the study, survey respondents said the audit process they most need to brush up on is the use of continuous auditing and computer-assisted auditing tools (CAATs).
- In terms of soft skills, survey respondents said their top priority is becoming better at networking, including developing outside contacts. This is an indicator of the value internal audit executives and professionals see not only in developing best practices, but also in learning from other high-performing organizations.
The Internal Audit Capabilities and Needs Survey was conducted through in-person and online surveys in the fall of 2011. The survey included nearly 200 questions in three categories from past surveys – General Technical Knowledge, Audit Process Knowledge, and Personal Skills and Capabilities – as well as a new section, Technology and the Audit Process. Participants included chief audit executives, internal audit directors, managers, and staff from publicly traded, private, government, educational and nonprofit organizations.

Webinar and Podcast to Explore Results Further
Protiviti's Christensen – along with Managing Directors Bob Hirth and David Brand – and guest speaker Robyn Arnell, vice president and chief audit executive, of Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc., will reveal other key findings and explore survey trends and historical data during a complimentary 90-minute webinar on March 27 at 11:00 am PDT. To register for "Internal Audit Capabilities & Needs: Where Do You Rate?" please visit: www.protiviti.com/webinars.
Additionally, Protiviti has produced a podcast that offers Brian Christensen's analysis and commentary on the findings in the survey. Please visit www.protiviti.com/podcasts to listen or download the podcast.

Various standards bodies, approaches, and ecosystems are vying for mindshare and positioning for a competitive edge. It is clear that when the dust settles, we will have new protocols, evolved protocols, that will change the way we interact with devices and infrastructure. We will also have evolved web protocols, like HTTP/2, that will be changing the very core of our infrastructures. At the same time, we have old approaches made new again like micro-services...

We spent the weekend in the Pemi Wilderness. It was a great but chilly trip.
Trish, I was glad that you and Alex weren't on the Franconia Ridge as we looked across and saw SO MUCH WHITE. Even on Bondcliff, which is much lower, the winds were howling and it was DOWNRIGHT COLD. It must have been brutal on the ridge.

Become a Citizen Ambassador.
Become a Citizen Ambassador with CODEPINK, by joining one of our Peace Delegations in 2005. In coordination with Global Exchange, we'll be organizing amazing, inspiring and life-transforming trips to Palestine/Israel, Afghanistan and Iran!
PALESTINE/ISRAEL for International Women's Day March 6-16, 2005
With the recent election of Mahmoud Abbas, this is a critical time to explore prospects for peace in this conflicted region. The women's delegation to Palestine/Israel will offer a unique opportunity to hear first-hand from Palestinian and Israeli women about what the occupation means for their lives and how they see the future. Learn about Palestinian women's struggle for peace and human rights while living under occupation, and Israeli women's fight to stop the injustices committed by their government. Our delegation will also meet with an amazing array of community organizers, human rights activists, health workers, educators, students, families and legal advocates.
AFGHANISTAN for International Women's Day March 6-15, 2005What is life really like for Afghan women today? How has their situation changed since the overthrow of the Taliban? This trip provides first-hand insight into Afghan women's perspectives on their lives and the future of their country. The delegation will meet with the Ministry of Women's Affairs, grassroots women's organizations, groups involved in de-mining efforts, educating the youth, and creating new income-generating projects. It is an opportunity of a lifetime to spend international women's day with some of the most courageous and inspiring women on the planet!
IRAN Building friendships April 19-29, 2005
In this time of increased political tension between the US and Iran, American travel to Iran helps establish the people-to-people ties that facilitate understanding and respect between our two countries. This is a very rare opportunity to meet with women's groups, environmental NGOs, artists, and ordinary Iranians. A former delegate to Iran, Judy Carlock, said this of her experience: "I didn't expect to be standing here, by these graves, tears rolling down my face. But then, I didn't expect a lot of things when I came to Iran. I didn't expect flowers, music, colored lights. Most of all: I did not expect joy." Explore this beautiful country and culture, and learn the people's views on their government, US-Iranian relations, and their hopes for the future.
Many CODEPINK members have organized their own fundraisers to help pay for their trips. See www.globalexchange.org/tours/fundraisingtips.html for fundraising tips. For more information about any of these trips or other similar trips organized by Global Exchange, visit www.realitytours.org or contact Ceanna Stephens at firstname.lastname@example.com or 415-575-5546.
In continued solidarity,
Andrea, Carol, Claire, Dana, Gael, Jodie, Medea, Nancy, Tiffany

The reverse shows 14k yellow gold for the rock crystal perimeter.
Date: Circa 1910.

text: This may sound like a weird question but am curious. Where I have a small lease to hunt the adjoining neighbor frequently shoots coons and possums and drives over to the boundary and throws the kills from his side to mine. The kill are usually about 40-50 yards from my blind and feeder. I have looked around and seen a lot of skeletons so this isn't something he just started doing to ruin my hunt. I have permission from the neighbor to go on his property to recover a deer so I don't want to raise a stink, but it makes me wonder if there is a chance that it is hurting my hunting location?

Patterson coach Nick Marchy said the defeat was painful, but preparing for postseason play was more important for his team, which ended the Western Athletic Conference season with four wins and two losses.
"The big plays Central Catholic made here and there — those killed us and put us behind quick," Marchy said. "This loss is going to hurt us for a couple of days. But we'll come back ready to work on Monday."
One Central Catholic senior back, Rey Vega, rushed for 180 yards on just 12 carries and scored five times — three times on runs of 60 yards or more — to lead the Raiders (8-2 overall, 6-0 WAC). Senior tight end John Mundt added two long touchdown grabs for the Modesto-based school, which claimed the WAC championship outright.
Central Catholic's offense asserted itself early, breaking into the end zone on a 60-yard scamper by Vega for a 7-0 lead with about four minutes elapsed of the first-quarter clock.
On the ensuing possession, Patterson senior quarterback Joey Lopes connected with senior receiver Dominic Dawkins for a 56-yard catch that set up a 1st-and-goal situation at the Raider 8-yard line.
But the Tigers squandered the opportunity, and Lopes' fourth-down pass was swatted down at the line of scrimmage, forcing a turnover on downs.
Central Catholic had the ball back at its 11-yard line with about eight minutes to play in the second quarter. The quarterback fired the ball over the middle and the receiver raced 70 yards to the end zone for a 14-0 advantage and a vast amount of momentum.
On the next series, the Raiders forced another turnover on downs after stopping Patterson at its 41.
Facing fourth-and-1 from the Tigers 32, a Central Catholic fullback took the handoff and rumbled into the end zone for a 21-point edge.
The Tigers went 3-and-out on their next drive, and three plays later, the Raiders scored on a 61-yard gallop with 3:57 left in the second quarter.
Patterson's next opportunity came with about 3:40 left in the first half, but on the first play of the drive, a Central Catholic defender hit Lopes as he threw a pass and the ball was intercepted.
Two plays later, the Raiders quarterback found a teammate streaking down the middle of the field all alone, and a 36-yard touchdown put the Raiders up 35-0.
Dawkins returned the ensuing kickoff 83 yards to set up Patterson at the Central Catholic 17.
Facing 4th-and-goal from the Raiders 16 with eight seconds left in the second quarter, the Tigers cracked the scoreboard when Lopes threaded the needle on a touchdown pass to junior tight end Jordan Levu.
But Central Catholic silenced the hometown crowd just before the halftime whistle, returning a kickoff 83 yards and making the score 42-7 on the final play of the first half.
Dawkins returned the second-half kickoff 71 yards to the Raider 19, and on the next play, Levu made a sprawling catch of a pass from Lopes in the back corner of the end zone, clipping the deficit to 42-13.
The Tigers defense held for a three-and-out series, and Lopes led a 10-play, 69-yard drive that ended with an 11-yard jump-ball scoring toss to Levu near the right front pylon.
That was as close as Patterson would get, however. Five plays later, an 18-yard rushing touchdown for Central Catholic made the score 49-20.
"We've got to play with intensity for the full 48 minutes," Marchy said. "Our tackling was the biggest thing tonight. We knew we had to shut down (Central Catholic's) run. They're all about running the football."
The Raiders stitched together a late third-quarter drive that bled into the fourth, capping a 10-play, 38-yard drive with a 7-yard touchdown run.
Patterson fumbled on its next possession, and a Central Catholic player fell on the loose ball at its 32.
The Raiders took just five plays to score the last touchdown of the night.
"This part of the season is over. Next week, we're 0-0," Lopes told his teammates as they huddled at midfield following the loss to Central Catholic. "Our goal is to wake up next Saturday and be 1-0."
No. 8-seed Patterson will host Benicia High, a No. 9 seed, on Friday, Nov. 9, in the opening round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III playoffs.
Benicia (7-3) finished with a 3-2 record in the Solano County Athletic Conference.
Game time is slated for 7 p.m. at Patterson Community Stadium, Ward and Salado avenues.
Junior varsity
Central Catholic made quick work of the JV Tigers, scoring touchdowns on its first three possessions and rolling to a 41-7 victory Friday at Patterson Community Stadium.
The Tigers (7-3, 4-2 WAC), meanwhile, punted or turned over the ball on four of their five first-half drives.
"Overall, this whole season was a success. We have a lot of talented kids," said Patterson coach Harley Parson. "But we can't turn the ball over and expect to win. It doesn't work that way."
Patterson fumbled the ball on the first play from scrimmage, and the Raiders capitalized.
Central Catholic moved 26 yards on four plays on its first possession of the game, capped by a 20-yard touchdown pass with 7:49 left in the first quarter.
After the Raiders defense intercepted a throw by Demarrio Hammonds, Central Catholic added a 21-yard touchdown run and a 2-point conversion to conclude a four-play, 35-yard drive with 3:03 left in the opening frame.
On the ensuing possession, Patterson was forced to punt and Central Catholic advanced 59 yards on five plays before a Raider back bulled into the end zone from one yard out, upping the lead to 21-0.
The Tigers had 4th-and-goal from the Raider 2-yard line until another interception ended the play.
Patterson built some momentum before halftime, but kicker Alex Gebbing was wide left on a 47-yard field goal attempt on the final play of the first half.
"We worked all week at practice, and we had a game plan," Parson said. "We just did not execute when we needed to."
Central Catholic stormed 57 yards on 10 plays on its first series after the intermission, capped by a 2-yard touchdown run to make it 27-0.
The Tigers compiled a late third-quarter drive that carried into the fourth. But on 4th-and-5 from the Raiders 12, the possession again stalled and they turned the ball over on downs.
With 6:07 remaining in the fourth, the Raiders added a 49-yard touchdown tear, pushing the lead to 34 points.
On the ensuing touch, Patterson went three-and-out and Central Catholic took over at Patterson's 34.
From there, Central Catholic took just four plays to send a back trotting across the goal line from 11 yards out.
The Tigers finally got on the scoreboard with 39 seconds left in the fourth quarter, when Michael Lawson sprinted 43 yards for a touchdown.
"There's a lot of potential on this team and several players who are ready to make the move up to varsity," Parson said. "We have a lot of guys who want to play football and enjoy being out here."
The Patterson High freshman football team (8-2, 4-2) took a loss in its final game of the season, falling to Central Catholic 39-6 at David Patton Field on Thursday, Nov. 1.

The Bulldogs (4-11) started strong on offense by feeding the ball to junior Josh Brakkee, who was able to use his size and length to shoot 50 percent and score eight points in the paint.
Brakkee dropped a game-high 22 points, including a 8-for-10 mark from the free-throw line.
"When I got position it was easy and I knew what to do because that's what we wanted to do, get the ball down low," he said. "But they started double teaming me from the back and it was hard to tell what was going on."
In the second quarter, the Wolf Pack (13-4) was able to speed up the tempo of the game by using a full-court press. West took advantage of its team speed by creating turnovers, which jumpstarted its potent transition offense.
West led 15-13 with six minutes, 57 seconds remaining in the second quarter before going on a seven-point run and gaining a 35-26 lead at halftime.
Junior K.J. Daye, who went 7-for-14 from the field and had 20 points for West, said the team focused on pressuring the ball handlers for Tracy.
"We played our hardest defense this game," he said. "Coach told us that if we play defense we'll win the game and the offense would be impossible to stop, and that's what we did."
During the game on offense, West drove the ball to the basket in the first half, an approach that opened shooting opportunities on the outside in the second half when the Tracy defense collapsed into the lane to protect the basket.
Senior Justin Saar scored a game-high 22 points on 8-for-13 shooting, including 3-for-5 from 3-point range.
The result was the Wolf Pack going 12-25 as a team from 3-point range in the game. Coach Derek Sprecksel said his team averages six to eight 3-pointers a game.
"We basically make reads and whatever the defense gives us, we're going to take," he said. "Obviously, we got a lot of corner 3-pointers and kicks to the corners that came from our transition offense when we increased the tempo."
Tracy coach Genaro Cueva said his team "expected them to come out and press the whole game," but that West's speed and strong guard play on offense eventually overmatched the Bulldogs.
With 7:11 remaining in the fourth quarter, West led 69-45 and held its biggest lead of the game — a 24-point advantage over Tracy.
"They have a lot of athletes on the wings … and they have one or two of those guys who can knock it down but they had four or five tonight," he said. "You can't answer back when they are scoring 3s, because 3s will add up on you when they make four 3s in a row, and then that's a 12-point run right there."
Junior DeAndre Thomas had the hot hand behind the arc for West. He only shot the ball from distance and scored 12 points on 4-for-7 shooting.
"That's kind of my shot, the way the offense works," he said. "When the point guards come off the screen, you force the defense to help, and then you get an open 3-point shooter waiting to hit a shot, and that's what I did today. I got hot after a while."
Tracy travels to Stockton for a game on Jan. 9 against Franklin High at 7 p.m. West also plays in Stockton against McNair High at 7 p.m. on Jan. 9.

Thermonex Highlights:
BSN Thermonex consists of:
Caffeine: Caffeine increases perceived energy levels, suppresses appetite and hunger, enhances mental acuity and alertness, improves neuromuscular performance, and stimulates thermogenesis. Thermogenesis refers to the "burning" of calories in the form of heat. Caffeine supports thermogenesis in synergy with green tea, below.
Green Tea Extract: Substances referred to as catechins are found in green tea, which stimulate thermogenesis and the oxidation ("burning") of fat in synergy with caffeine. Green tea also possesses antioxidant properties.
Octopamine: Octopamine is a biogenic amine used to support and enhance the thermogenic and other actions of caffeine and green tea.
Evodiamine 98%: Evodiamine, non-pungent vanilloid receptor agonist, is one of several alkaloids found in Evodia Rutaecarpa. In animal studies, evodiamine has been found to reduce body fat, possibly by stimulating thermogenesis.
Yerba Mate: Consumed as an alternative to coffee in South America, Yerba Mate is a source of caffeine and other methylxanthines. It also contains substances that may enhance the effects of methylxanthines. It is added to Thermonex for the same reasons as Octopamine.
Avantra Z (Synephrine): Synephrine, also a biogenic amine, is added for the same reasons as Octopamine, to which it is closely chemically related.
Bitter Orange Extract (Naringin): Found in citrus fruits and other plants, this bioflavonoid is used to prolong the activity of caffeine and other methylxanthines.
L-Tyrosine: This naturally occurring conditionally essential amino acid is included in Thermonex to help replenish neurotransmitters (e.g. norepinephrine) released by caffeine and other ingredients. The catecholamines are involved in the regulation of neuromuscular performance, alertness, focus, and mood.
Iodotyrosine & Diiodotyrosine: Two forms of tyrosine containing the mineral iodine. Iodinated tyrosine is used in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Thus, Iodotyrosine and Diiodotyrosine are included in Thermonex to support thyroid hormone production.
THERMONEX is designed to be utilized as a part of a well balanced diet and exercise routine.
Approximately 300mg of caffeine per serving (3 capsules).

NFC technology companies have promoted the idea of using NFC tags to foil counterfeiters of luxury goods for some time.
NFC Times Exclusive: While NXP Semiconductors won the coveted contract to supply NFC chips and secure elements to Apple for its new iPhone models, it has been cut out of the recent business for Samsung Galaxy handsets, including the Note 4.
NFC Times Exclusive: In what is believed to be one of the first uses for NFC booster technology in NFC phones, the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus feature an amplifier chip enabling a unique antenna design by Apple for its Apple Pay service that launched Monday.
Japan's rollout of phones and tablets supporting standard NFC technology has topped the 20 million mark, with Japan's three major mobile operators deploying the handsets with NFC chips along with domestic FeliCa technology. But Japanese consumers still have few places to use the hybrid devices.
Apple's new tablets, the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3, unveiled today, will support the Touch ID fingerprint sensor to enable users to make purchases in apps with Apple Pay, but not in stores with NFC.
NFC Times Exclusive: Several hotel chains are planning to start equipping certain properties with door locks supporting Bluetooth low energy by the early part of next year, or are seriously investigating the technology, which enables guests to enter their rooms with keys stored on their smartphones, Legic Identsystems, one of the technology vendors involved, told NFC Times.
Samsung Electronics reportedly says it has an agreement with payment network China UnionPay that would enable embedded chips in more than 3 million of its devices in China with China UnionPay's contactless-payments service, though no banks have yet been mentioned as issuers.
As the NFC Forum launches a new program to attract more application developers to the NFC ecosystem, the organization told NFC Times that it is encouraged by Apple's adoption but considers it likely that the NFC developer community will focus on Android for the near future.
TAIPEI, Taiwan – Taiwan's largest telco, Chunghwa Telecom, Wednesday announced the launch of its long-planned NFC commercial service, enabling MasterCard PayPass credit cards from four banks, along with one of the first mobile NFC services supporting a Mifare transit purse, EasyCard.
Taiwan's largest mobile operator, Chunghwa Telecom, will announce the small commercial launch of NFC service on Wednesday, with participation from MasterCard Worldwide, four major banks and the island nation's largest transit and retail e-purse, EasyCard, NFC Times has learned.
Apple has hired Visa Europe's director of mobile, Mary Carol Harris, as the tech giant gears up for its expected launch of Apple Pay in Europe later next year.
NFC Times Exclusive: Despite the announcement by Apple of its first NFC-enabled iPhone, released Friday, promoters of NFC-enabled attachments targeting the iPhone contend they will not lose business.
The NFC Forum has added the final major component to its device certification with the addition of analog testing, but the impact of the development on handset makers' willingness to submit their devices for certification remains to be seen.

well, i finally got to bed around 2am after packing and loading all my gear for the days hunt. checked,double checked and checked again. alarm set for 5am. i wake up ready to rock at 4:40am so i just get up and shut the alarm off so the wife doesn't have to get up on her only day to sleep past 6am. i have my first pot of coffee done by 5:30 so i let my dogs out and and check yet again that i have everything i'll need. got it. let the dogs back in,get dressed,go warm the car up on this cold opening day(upper 30's but no frost as was forecasted and barely any wind),and do yet another check. yup,got it all. butterflies in my stomach,i happy pee(not my pants)before heading off to the woods. I was so freakin excited this morning. more so than the last few years. i jump in the car and make the 20 mile drive to the only stand i had set up(arriving at 6:30am.full shooting light 30min away.Woo Hoo!) get out of the car and grab my gloves,hat and coat,strap on my pack,get out my ladder sticks and went to grab the bow. S.O.B! I forgot the only thing I REALLY needed! didn't get pissed at all. was literally laughing at my stupidity all the way home and even called my little brother to share in the humor. i get home and grab the bow,knowing that by the time i make it back to my stand i'd mess somebodys hunt up and didn't want to do that. so i opted to hunt the public land across the rd.
i make the 300yrd hike to where i wanted to be and was worn out from the flu. i sit a stand that i happened upon til 9am watching squirrels and got bored with that. so i climb down and happy pee again(not in my pants) and realize i shouldn't have drank that whole pot of coffee. i decide to walk the creek bottom to a stand of oaks that has some nice downfalls perfect for the last minute ground blind. i round the bend in the creek,30yds til my chosen downfall(previously hunted squirrel out of it) and i see a squirrel. WAIT. that aint no squirrel. was a deer scratching itself.COOL! i watch for a few minutes. its a little spike. i sneak towards him while he's feeding away from me. then i see 2 more deer with him. a 4 and a 6pt. things just got a little tougher. i was about 80yds at the first sighting closed the gap to around 60. 3 young bucks never knew i was there. they continue feeding on the acorns. i stay in line with the trees and slowly stalk them. took about 30min to stalk another 20yds closer. wind shifts,4pt starts looking around,then continues feeding calmly. i stalk another few feet before im out of cover in these oaks. from there on its just saplings and 4" dia trees between me and the 3 deer. its in the deers hands now. so i watch. keeping track of all 3 so i didnt move wrong and blow the whole thing. the little spike turns a 180* and heads straight at me. all i could do was get as tight as i could to the tree. thought for sure it was over. he passes mere feet away from me and bolts w/o making a sound. the four point lifts his tail had cautiously walk to the fiels edge and disappears while the 6pt just standing there wondering what the problem is. takes a few more bites and turns on the same path the spike was on heading straight for me,but instead of jumping the downed branch,walkes around it. he stops looking at the spike that is now feeding across the creek. the 6pt starts his move again and walks behind a downfall. so i draw the mace,having toget the bow between a tree and a sapling that has sprouted off it. with my quiver on my vanes were catching while i'm at 3/4 draw. i have to stand to get full draw. slowly i stand while still drawing. the 6pt now at 23yds walking broadside,still watching the spike. he gets between 2 trees and i give my best doe bleat and he stops. the arrow goes and i hear the solid hit and he runs off.
i saw the arrow hit bout 3" behind th left shoulder. but i see something strange. my orange nock flying off to the side. ???. the buck runs out of sight. i listened but couldnt hear anything from the wind rustling the leavies. i slowly walk over to where the buck was standing. no blood,no arrow. CRAP! i saw the arrow hit exactly where my pin was. i heard that solid smack. where's the blood and the arrow? i walk around in semi circles along the small ridge above the creek. finally i found good blood. wanting to give the deer more time,i follow the blood backwards trying to recover my arrow. i did find my nock. 8ft from the nearest blood and 10yds behind where the deer was standing upon impact.??? now I'm really confused. so i got back on the blood thinking the arrow was still in the deer. but didn't think it could be with the amount of blood iwas seeing. screw it! with that much blood the deer is down. no doubt in my mind. following the blood trail,i come the the bank of the creek. i pull an arrow from my quiver and toss it to the opposite bank so i know where to pick up the trail after finding a place to cross. crossed the creek continued the trail and there it is. in a thick stuff,of course. about 50 yds from where i shot him. BUT no arrow! No exit wound either.??? but ALOT of blood. carefully i gutted the deer thinking the BH end of the arrow might still be inside. NOPE. not there??? deer gutted,now i really check things out. shattered ribs on entry side,pierced both lungs and shattered ribs on opposite side. direct rib hits! no in betweens. but no exit wound. Ive NEVER had this happen. never have i shot a der and had no exit wound,no recovered arrow,only the nock, and a sufficiently dead deer within 50yds. IDK what to make of it. but dead is dead. proof is in the double lung pudding. enjoy the pics

Pros and cons of burning wheat residue before planting
click image to zoomPhoto by Jim Shroyer, K-State Research and Extension.Figure 1. Wheat residue being burned just ahead of wheat planting, September 30, 2013, Dickinson County. If producers choose to burn their wheat stubble, timing is important. It's best to burn as late as possible, close to the time of wheat planting. This minimizes the time that the field will be without residue cover and vulnerable to erosion of surface sealing. Before burning, producers should first check with the Farm Service Agency to find out if this will affect their compliance in any government farm programs.
Advantages of a late-season burn:
- Removes residue cheaply and quickly. If the producer's drill or planter has a hard time going through wheat residue, or the amount of residue is unusually heavy, this can be an advantage.
- Can control tan spot disease. Tan spot spores oversummer on wheat residue, and burning will usually kill most of the spores.
- Can help control take-all. Take-all seems to be a bigger problem in continuous wheat on cooler, wetter soils. Burning off the residue results in a warmer, and potentially drier, seedbed. Burning late, however, can reduce the beneficial effects mid-summer burning has on take-all.
- May help control Hessian fly. This is one "advantage" that's a little more hype than reality. Hessian fly flaxseed oversummer in wheat residue and in old wheat crowns. Some, or most, of the flaxseed is at or below ground level in the crowns. These flaxseed will not be controlled by burning. A slow, hot fire can kill flaxseed that is in residue above ground, however.
- May help control winter annual grasses, volunteer wheat, and summer annual broadleaf weeds. This is another perceived "advantage" that is only partially true. It takes a very slow, hot fire to kill cheat and volunteer seed present on the soil surface. Usually, the control is only partial. Cheat and volunteer seed that is in the soil will not be controlled by fire. Likewise, a slow, hot fire can kill summer annual broadleaf weeds that are up and growing in the field. Burning may knock back volunteer wheat if the fire is hot enough, but the growing point is below the soil at this time of the year and the volunteer may come back strong if there is good moisture and no competition from other grasses and weeds. A fast fire will be relatively ineffective in controlling weed seeds and emerged weeds and grasses.
Disadvantages of a late-season burn:
- Removes a major source of organic matter from the field. The residue and stubble are an important source of organic matter for the soil. Burning off this organic matter will gradually reduce soil organic matter levels.
- Can harden the ground. Burning can made the soil hotter and drier on the surface, creating a hard seedbed.
- Reduces water infiltration capacity. Burning can temporarily seal the soil surface to some extent.
- Loss of nutrients. Wheat straw contains many nutrients. Burning will result in the loss of some of the volatile nutrients, such as nitrogen, in the residue. Phosphorus and other minerals are not volatilized by burning and will remain on the field in the ash, unless the ash is blown away.
- Results in smoke pollution. Air quality concerns are greater now than in the past.
click image to zoom What about the effect of burning on wheat yields in continuous wheat, compared to tillage and no-till? Mark Claassen, former agronomist-in-charge at the Harvey County Experiment Field, conducted a long-term study of this since 1997. His results show the long term average yields are similar for all treatments, so burning neither helped nor hurt wheat yields.

Comments (3) Leave a comment
I want to add this also that as the wheat/rice straw has a very wide C:N ratio,the bacteria involved in its decomposition consume a significant amount of soil nitrogen and that gives an initial set back to the newly planted wheat crop, because the soil N content drops.
to over come the c/n ratio problem, a few gallons of 28 on the straw after harvest just before a rain and let the microbes start breaking it down in the summer so there is less residue on the ground when you plant. you will get the N you apply back later when the humus breaks down.
can you tell me what is the exact nutrient value of wheat straw residue. What percent is above ground, what is below? Are there studies that have burned a ton of straw and tell what is there as far as N-P-K? Need to know to put fair value on straw residue that will be sold to bale.

Students build Lego robots in district-wide challenge
SALISBURY — Rowan County elementary and middle school students brought farming and robotics together Tuesday evening for this year's 2013 Lego Challenge.
Hundreds of students, parents and teachers gathered at West Rowan Middle School for this year's competition, which had a farming theme.
AIG Director Kelly Feimster said this is the second year of the challenge, which fits into the school system's STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) curriculum.
"Robotics is definitely in that engineering piece," Feimster said. "The students are learning to program and learning to tweak and make changes, real-world scenario."
In the cafeteria, Lego structures and other toys were placed on table tops in pre-set configurations. There, middle school students built and programmed Lego robots to perform a series of timed challenges.
Classrooms in a nearby hallway were filled with miniature farms, harvesting equipment, processing plants and cooking devices.
Elementary school students, who were mostly members of academically and intellectually gifted (AIG) programs, used Legos to show the path that corn takes from the farm to the home.
Each group chose a snack food that contains corn and researched its ingredients. They then built Lego models to illustrate where the ingredients come from and how the snack is made. Each model had to have at least one motorized, movable part.
When the judges came around to each table on Tuesday, the students presented their research with the help of their models and a tri-fold poster.
At the start of Woodleaf Elementary School's presentation, the students donned fake mustaches and sang a song to the tune of "Old MacDonald." They then took turns speaking about the importance of corn, how the crop is grown and how it becomes part of multi-grain Pringles.
When one student pressed a button on a computer, their model came to life and illustrated each stage of the process. Last was a head with a chomping jaw, enjoying the final product.
"We all were engineers, and I helped build the irrigation system," said Sarah Day, a fifth-grader at Woodleaf. "It was really fun, and very educational."
Skylar Jahnke, also a fifth-grader, said the group spent about five weeks preparing for the contest.
"We went through a lot of snacks," Skylar said. "Our two favorites were Takis and multi-grain Pringles."
Sarah added that the group decided on the multi-grain chips because it was a more original choice. They learned a lot about what goes into snacks and how they are made, she said.
Woodleaf Elementary School won the Picasso Award for the most creative and artistic display. Other winners included Enochville Elementary School with the Simply Awesome Machine Award, Bostian with the Amazing Movement Award, Landis with the Little Einstein Award and Knollwood with the Explosive Ideas Award.
Millbridge Elementary School won the Programmer Award for in-depth and creative programming.
"It's pretty exciting," said Erik Ellams, a fifth-grader, who was in charge of programming for Millbridge. "I've been a fan of Legos for a long time."
Jana McIntyre said she helped develop the slideshow that the group used to present its research. All of the students helped with designing and building the model, which focused on Cheetos.
Erik and Jana both said they liked competing in the Lego Challenge.
"I thought it was just going to be an opportunity to be with my friends, but it was very fun," Jana said.
Jeanna Gregory, AIG teacher at Millbridge, said she appreciates that the project involved a lot of problem solving and teamwork.
"It's a unique opportunity for building lifelong skills that will hopefully prepare them for the future," Gregory said.
g g g
In one of the four middle school challenges, the students' Lego Mindstorms robots had to corral four animal figurines from a field area and moving them to a barn.
For another challenge, the robots had to find and "harvest" plastic vegetables by bringing them back to home base. The students could "market" the produce for extra points by placing it in a tractor bucket or lifting it onto a table.
Knox Middle School placed both first and second with its two groups of students. One of Corriher-Lipe Middle School's two groups took third place.
Ethan Todd and Anna Gobble, both seventh-graders at Corriher-Lipe, got one of the highest scores in the vegetable-harvesting task by repeating the same successful program over and over again.
"I think it was really fun to do this," Ethan said. "The computer is challenging, but you get used to it."
He said the groups received the tabletop layouts beforehand so they could practice.
Anna said she likes the idea for the competition, "because it helps kids learn more about robots and how they move."
Some of the students paused mid-challenge to connect the robots to their laptops and make programming changes. That way, they could nudge a wayward machine in the right direction for the next run.
"It gets the kids involved in teamwork and builds math and science skills," said Becca Glenn, technology facilitator at Knox Middle School. "Hopefully, we're building the next generation of engineers, computer programmers and scientists."
Many of the students at Tuesday's event said they like engineering, but they're not sure about their career field just yet.
Booth Pfaff, an eighth-grader at Knox, said he has four shelves of Legos at home, and he signed up for the robotics team to find others who shared that interest.
"After a while, it got really hard," he said. "The robot didn't do what I wanted it to do."
Christian Burns, a seventh-grader, said he participated in last year's contest and noticed that there were a lot more students competing this year. He agreed with Pfaff that the tasks were fun, but definitely not easy.
"I liked the computer part of it," he said. "I think we did good for having such a hard competition."

Sen. Carl Levin and Ismael Ahmed, director of state Department of Human Services, will speak at UM-Dearborn commencement ceremonies on Sunday, May 3
April 7, 2009
DEARBORN / April 7, 2009---Ismael Ahmed, director of the Michigan Department of Human Services, and U.S. Sen. Carl Levin will be the main speakers at UM-Dearborns commencement ceremonies on Sunday, May 3.
Ahmed will speak at the morning ceremony, beginning at 10:30 a.m., for graduates of the campuss College of Engineering and Computer Science and School of Management. Levin will speak at the afternoon ceremony, beginning at 2:30 p.m., for graduates of the campuss College of Arts, Sciences, and Letters and School of Education.
Through their leadership, character and values, these two speakers have set an outstanding example for the type of community-minded citizens we expect our graduates to become, according to Chancellor Daniel Little. We know that their insights will add a great deal of meaning to this commencement celebration for our graduates and their families.
Ahmed, who received his bachelors degree from UM-Dearborn in 1975, was appointed by Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm as director of the Department of Human Services in September 2007. In that position, Ahmed leads the state's second largest agency with nearly 10,000 employees and a $4 billion-plus annual budget.
Ahmed was one of the founders of the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services (ACCESS) in the early 1970s, and was appointed the organizations executive director in 1983. ACCESS is the largest Arab-American human services organization in the United States offering more than 90 different programs.
In recent years, Ahmed has been a guest speaker at the foreign ministers meeting of the League of Arab States speaking on U.S. and Arab relations. He has served on a number of governing boards for southeastern Michigan organizations, including Eastern Michigan University, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the United Way for Southeastern Michigan, and New Detroit. He also has been a member of the UM-Dearborn Citizens Advisory Committee.
Ahmed is a contributing author to Arabs in America: Myths and Reality and has written for the Woodrow Wilson Foundation Publication, "Arab American Political Participation in the United States."
Carl Levin was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1978 and has been reelected five times, most recently in 2008. He chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, where he has earned a reputation as a strong supporter of national defense, a tireless advocate on behalf of our service men and women, and an effective fighter against wasteful government spending.
He also serves as co-chair of the Senate Auto Caucus and the Senate Auto Parts Task Force, where he has advocated for programs that provide for partnerships of government and industry in the development of advanced vehicle technologies. These efforts led to the growth of the Army's National Automotive Center in Warren, which has played an important role in developing advanced technologies for military use, often in conjunction with the private sector and academic institutions, including UM-Dearborn.
Born in 1934 in Detroit, Levin graduated with honors from Swarthmore College and from Harvard Law School. He practiced and taught law in Michigan until 1964 when he was appointed an assistant attorney general of Michigan and the first general counsel for the Michigan Civil Rights Commission. He helped establish the Detroit Public Defender's Office and led the appellate division of that office, which has become the State Appellate Defender's Office.
He won election to the Detroit City Council in 1969, becoming its president in 1973 by winning the most votes citywide.
