Chivis . Don't see how 5:24 deducted his understanding from this article . Noticed you have stopped posting my post that have my identifying phrase . I will stop that . Really meant nothing but I do understand .Delete
Mencho is trying to make himself a local hero and from my observation of the past , it will work. Worked for many scumbags in the past and it will work again if he takes it far enough . A small crook screws the neighbors and is always a short timer . In 2018 this insulation he is trying to achieve wont be enough . Its a much smaller world these days .

It's common sense if you ever been to any town with heavy cartel presence. (Laredo,reynosa,moros,apatzingan,culiacan,tj) kids grow up looking up to this guys. They see in real life what anyone else would see in a movie. Giving out gift would have everyone saying they do good deeds for the town and grow up wanting to do the same thing for their town that they love cuz they grew up there.Delete

Hey genius at 12;33 two accusations and both 100 percent incorrect . chivis did not say gringo and gringo is NOT a derogatory term. you are an idiot to say as as well as uneducated. it simply means American or u.s. English speaker. only in Puerto rico do they use it as a derogatory term. not in mexico. it is the u.s. americans as yourself that show their ignorance by using derogatory terms such as you listed above. but those are not used that often, they were used in the days of old. wake up and get with the program. and do a little research. I see a pattern here, when people are stupid and uneducated to the facts, they will try and become relevant by stirring shit. Back to the books boy. oh wait, is boy derogatory?Delete

This is 10:09 to 12:33 White Caucasians/Anglo Saxons call Spaniards spics and don't consider them equal even if they are both from Europe. I don't have a problem with you calling me a beaner because beans taste good but I don't like the word wetback because that's a derogatory term for the natives. Tarascos/Purepecha were the only ones who were not conquered by the Spaniards but chose to mix instead. To El GrandeRojo, paisas in the Northern States from Cali on up are the ones cultivating and working both indoor and outdoor grows. In Michoacán you can grow coca plants as well as mango and tomatoes. Most racists whites go around driving around in lifted trucks with huge American flags and never even served in the military trying to be all patriotic but only want a white America like Richard Spencer they forget where the cowboy comes from and who taught them how to be the great outdoorsman they claim to be. I am U.S born citizen of Mexican (Michoacán) descent and a Marine Corps veteran and NO I don't support the Left or Alt Right!Delete

Why don't you write about it and tell us what you know anecdotes are always interesting. Maybe he wasn't "hands on" in the specific dynamite incident but i guess it's just semantics since he would've had to be okay with it anyway. There's a lack of specific incidents being tied to individuals many times in reporting, it's not personal enough. The phonecall Mencho made to threaten that police chief for example that was golden info regarding his personality as opposed to just "evil leader whose organization does X". I don't know hope i'm making sense here to me it seems logical.Delete

At 10:14 RUMORS do not count, that is filed in the BS file. My assistant once told me that Chapo frequented my fave restaurant, taking cell phones and paying the bill for everyone. a common rumor for various places. we now know he sent out for food in his last decade. Rumors take on a life of their own. without proofDelete
hospital fotos would be easy to prove and difficult to gain certification. Schools are much easier, i saw a foto 8 or 9 years ago of a little school in the sierras supposedly he built, not even sure of that. I have built schools and contracted with the state government to staff. that is easily done with money, hospitals not. as for wifi...and if that was true, who do you suppose he built it for?

You hit on the nail as both being one of the same. Evil doers that has contributed to violence and drug epidemic worldwide.
Nevertheless, you are singling out the true originators of the drug / violence perpetrators.
The authority figures hidden behind a mask (government). It's through these elite government officials that allow and permit the continuous cycle which has plagued communities and societies.
Nothing gets by without permission from government. NOTHING!
As for those cheerleading squads with Pom- Poms at full stride. This continuous of ignorance will not help mankind. Much less your offspring!

my parents are listed as white Me and my sibs white or Caucasian I can't recall which. Mexican's [LULAC] fought for the distinction because only whites could be citizens. they got their wish but down the road Mexicans fought against it and Latino with a choice came into effect I think in the 80s and word is in 2 years it will change to Hispanic. Although I have Spanish blood from my criollo grandfather, and half Italian from the other grandfather, and Maya from mi abuelita I keep it simple and identify as Mexican.Delete
You can see I feel Mencho is a brutal leader, children are not exempt from his death squads, i feel he is the greatest threat to Mexico and must be stop.

Shows average ACT scores compiled at the school, district, and state levels.
The ACT is a standardized test consisting of multiple choice items in four different subjects. The ACT scores range from 0 to 36. This display shows the average score achieved by the students in the four subject areas plus a composite score. The district and state averages are included for comparison.
This data includes graduating students' most recent ACT Assessment scores from an ACT national test date or PSAE testing. All students whose scores are college reportable, both standard and extended time tests, are now included. State averages for ACT data are based on regular public schools and do not include private and special purpose schools.
Click on the View Trends button to see three years of data.
This chart displays the average ACT scores achieved by students over the past three years. This information is provided for each of the four subject areas plus the composite score.
A college-ready composite score of 21 or higher on the ACT shows that students have learned important academic skills that they will need in order to succeed in college and careers. While academic preparation is an essential part of readiness for college and careers, students also need persistence, motivation, time management, and technical skills.
The use of long term (or longitudinal) data to improve educational decision making is a national priority. This data allows educators and researchers to understand the link between various educational strategies and student performance. Schools generally use longitudinal data as part of school improvement planning. The most common strategies for using data are professional development activities, providing support positions for system implementation, and the development of tools for generating data and tools for acting on the data collected.

Everything has been relocated to a new room. (Can I just say that I realize how lucky I am to even have a space like this at all. Incredibly lucky. I do not take it for granted.) This room is snug, but I really like the location of this room – much more a part of the action for one thing. It's right at the bottom of the stairs off the kitchen. I feel like I can keep a better pulse on what's going on in the house from here. My other sewing space was in the basement, around two corners and far removed from any crisis. So I rarely felt I could work from there and as a result, my projects seemed to migrate all over the house. This space is going to be awesome.
Look how clean and organized it is already.
Oh wait. Maybe not. There is still much to go through and reorganize before things are functional, let alone pretty. But fortunately the process is fun.

In these early days I read several messages asking for clarification about the names and acronyms used in Denali. For a complete description I suggest you to read the Analysis Services - Vision & Roadmap Update published by Microsoft in May 2011 and my personal comments in this blog. However, if you are in a hurry, this is a short recap:
Thus, if you want to test what is new in Analysis Services Denali, this is the call to action:
In case it is not clear, if you are a BI professional, there is an important thing you have to do in order to keep your skill updated: Learn DAX!
hi marco. any good books you can recommend for DAX?
I have to promote myselft...
I think that today the more complete book about DAX is our one about PowerPivot:
Half of the book is about DAX and everything we wrote is valid for Tabular. There are some extension in Denali but you can start with this and then integrate with books on line, blog posts and article. Otherwise you have to wait a few months for our next book :)

On the 1st of May of 2013, the Internet search engine Google surprised the world by changing the tagline on the homepage of its Palestinian version from "Palestinian Territories" to "Palestine."
"We're changing the name 'Palestinian Territories' to 'Palestine' across our products. We consult a number of sources and authorities when naming countries," Google spokesman Nathan Tyler said in a statement given to the BBC on 3 May 2013. "In this case, we are following the lead of the UN, Icann [the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers], ISO [International Organization for Standardization] and other international organizations," Tyler added.
The reactions to this change were almost immediate. Sabri Saidam, an adviser to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas contended, "This is a step in the right direction, a timely step and one that encourages others to join in and give the right definition and name for Palestine instead of Palestinian territories." Moreover, "The step puts Palestine on the virtual map and should encourage others to recognize the United Nations resolution", says Saidam, referring to the resolution voted by UN's General Assembly in November to recognize Palestine as an observer state.
Conversely, Israeli foreign ministry spokesman, Yigal Palmor, affirmed, "This change raises questions about the reasons behind this surprising involvement of what is basically a private Internet company in international politics -- and on the controversial side." Palmor's statement became even more critical, as he continued by saying, "They aren't an international body whose decisions are binding in any diplomatic or legal way. For all I care, they can do Google Never-Never Land, and that's cool,".
Google's involvement in politically sensitive issues is not new. For instance, in December 2012, the Internet behemoth shutdown its services in China to avoid complicity with the State's intrusive impositions and censorship.
In regards to the most recent case, while many companies continue to profit from the world's oldest ongoing conflict, Google has displayed the courage to take a step in the opposite direction, and followed the path that UN had started just a few months before.
Challenging the Discourse
Google's tagline change can be seen as an outstanding achievement for the Palestinian cause, one that is embedded with blatant symbolism. The importance of this symbolic statement only grows stronger when we consider that official discourse within western world tends to be quite hegemonic, placing exclusive importance on, and solely produced by, Western mainstream media narratives.
Although the practical effects of Google's emblematic change are very little, it is undeniable that it not only has a great psychological effect amongst western populations, but that it also represents the first real achievement of the Palestinian lobby, and Mr. Palmor's criticisms reflect precisely that. The political and diplomatic uproar seems to be justified, for Google is not a common company, but instead the world's largest Internet search engine.
The Palestine Monitor spoke with Sam Bahour, a media and public-relations expert, about the significance of Google's decision to change taglines. "Google's upgrading of its reference to the remaining 22% of historic Palestine as "Palestine," instead of "Palestinian Territories," was really a no-brainer after the UN General Assembly voted Palestine into the UN as a member state by an overwhelming majority. Google's move would have hardly been a headline news story if it were not for the berserk reaction of the Israeli government."
In fact, to Sam Bahour, this reaction further exposes "Israel's inability to see, let alone realize on the ground, any indication of Palestinian sovereignty is yet another indicator, for those who still need to be convinced, that Israel has no intention, whatsoever, to allow a Palestinian state emerge anywhere between the Mediterranean Sea and Jordan River."
Nevertheless, strategically, the Palestinian efforts, initiated after the UN General Assembly's resolution that changed Palestine's statute from 'observer-entity' to 'non-member observer-state', to convince big companies to replace the usage of 'Palestinian Territories' with 'Palestine', is a great move, for it ultimately aims to influence, at a different but also much larger level, mass global opinion.
Regarding future developments for Palestine's situation, Bahour affirms, "The only remaining question is what the various stakeholders will do about this new reality of a single authority, Israel, maintaining full control over all of historic Palestine? Short of the international community holding Israel accountable, we must ask how long will it be before Palestinians redefine their self-determination from statehood to civil rights?".
The Palestinian perseverance and diplomatic agility has thus been rewarded with a great victory, for Google's change of tagline represents an important asset for the balance of forces in the media. From now on, the virtual wink that Google gave to Palestine will always be regarded as one of the first media accomplishments in a walk of a million miles towards the end of Israel's illegal occupation. Palestine is 'feeling lucky.'

If the Crystal Head Vodka bottles were modeled on a real skull, what would the person have looked like when he or she was alive? A forensic artist has used facial reconstruction techniques to sculpt a face that could belong to the vodka bottle.
Nigel Cockerton, who received a Masters in Forensic and Medical Art from the University of Dundee, sculpted clay muscles, flesh, and eventually even hair to imagine the "living" person behind the glass skulls. You can see all of his process photos, including the finished face, at Crystal Head Vodka's Facebook page. One thing is certain: that is one happy vodka bottle.

Mullen links security, reconstruction to Afghan goals
The international effort in Afghanistan requires a comprehensive strategy that looks beyond increasing the foreign troop presence, U.S. Navy Adm. Mike Mullen said.
Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in an interview with the Council on Foreign Relations that the mission in Afghanistan should focus on military training and advisers so Afghan forces will be able to sustain any gains made by international forces.
"The needs we have there include now this requirement to provide civilian capacity; to develop ministries at the local level, the district level, the national level; to develop their agricultural capability and other economic impact kinds of areas," he said.
Critics reacted to the new Washington strategy for Afghanistan as a scaled-back version of the conflict envisioned by U.S. President George W. Bush. Mullen, however, said the principal challenges in Afghanistan -- al-Qaida, corruption, and others -- could be met by integrating reconstruction with national security.
"Our success in Afghanistan is tied directly not just to their security but to their overall (success in) having a government that provides for them and having an economic future that makes their lives viable," he said.
Afghanistan not solely a military effort
NATO expressed its position that regional security was linked to security in Afghanistan, adding the mission there was not strictly a military effort.
NATO issued its summit declaration on Afghanistan following a major international conference in the Netherlands last week that saw widespread support from allies and foes alike. The alliance had faced difficulties in meeting its troop commitments to Afghanistan, but eventually came forward with pledges of an additional 5,000 troops.
The declaration put Afghanistan at the top of the NATO agenda, saying "we remain committed for the long run" to a democratic Afghanistan that is no longer a threat to the international community.
U.S. President Barack Obama laid out a new strategy for Afghanistan that called for additional U.S. troops and trainers, a renewed focus on al-Qaida and non-military aid to Pakistan.
NATO in its declaration welcomed that strategy, as well as sentiments from the Netherlands summit, but stressed the solution to Afghanistan did not lie in a military strategy alone.
"Success requires a stronger regional approach that involves all Afghanistan's neighbors and, as this is not a purely military endeavor, greater civilian resources," the declaration read.
Though the Kabul government has made modest gains and the Afghan national forces have improved, NATO said issues ranging from rampant corruption to chronic insecurity continued to plague developments in the war-torn nation.
"As Afghan capacity increases, our part in providing security will evolve to focus increasingly on mentoring and training," the statement read. "We remain resolute in our commitment to help the Afghan people build a better future."
Taliban says Afghan plans will backfire
International plans to increase the troop presence in Afghanistan will only make the insurgency more attractive to foreign fighters, a Taliban leader said.
Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef, considered one of the more moderate members of the Taliban regime, said in an interview with The Daily Telegraph that more foreign troops in Afghanistan would result in increased opposition from jihadi militants.
The United States and its NATO allies have agreed to boost their troop presence in Afghanistan as part of a broader strategy to turn the tide in what is considered by some to be a neglected conflict.
U.S. President Barack Obama had included courting moderate elements of the Taliban in that strategy, but Zaeef said that effort was a veiled attempt at undermining the fundamentalist regime.
He further warned that the new international effort in Afghanistan was part of a broader war plan, not a peace plan, saying improvements in Afghanistan will not take place with foreign troops in the country.
"When the enemy becomes stronger, the other enemy becomes more extreme to exist," he said.
PUK, KDP to run on unified list
The leaders of the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan announced they would run under a unified list in the May provincial election.
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, the leader of the PUK, and Massoud Barzani, the head of the KDP and president of the Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq, said they had agreed to a power-sharing arrangement for provincial elections in Kurdistan tentatively scheduled for May 19.
"The two parties will take part on a unified list, and the list is open for others to join," Talabani said.
Both parties had met earlier to discuss the arrangements while tackling issues related to disputes over Kirkuk, which the leaders said fell on a three-member presidency council in Baghdad to decide, the Kurdish Globe reports.
"Because the problem is not only in Kirkuk but borders of Najaf, Karbala, Diyala, Mosul and Erbil were also changed, it makes it difficult for the presidency board to find an accordance," the Iraqi president said.
Saddam Hussein had attempted to alter the demographics of the region as part of an effort to control oil reserves in the north. The Iraqi Constitution outlines provisions for reversing that policy.
The U.N. Assistance Mission for Iraq said it expected to announce its findings on the dispute within the month.
UNAMI tackles disputed territories
The U.N. Assistance Mission for Iraq reported it was working on the final details pertaining to the so-called disputed territories in northern Iraq.
UNAMI said in a news release that a pending report would include discussions on Kirkuk and several other provisions under the terms of U.N. Security Council resolutions 1770 and 1830.
The Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq claims authority over Erbil, Dahuk and Sulaimaniya provinces. It also claims portions of several other northern provinces, including Diyala and Ninawa.
In an effort to alter the demographics of the oil-rich city of Kirkuk, former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein launched a campaign in the late 1980s to drive Kurdish, Assyrian and Turkoman families from the region. One provision, Article 140, considers whether enough Kurds have returned to the area to consider it Kurdish.
Another, Article 23 calls for a power-sharing arrangement between Kurds, Turkomen and Arabs at the local level.
Observers fear if matters pertaining to the administration over the disputed territories are not resolved before U.S. forces leave Iraq, tensions between the KRG and the central government in Baghdad could erupt into violence.
UNAMI said it would present its findings to relevant authorities on the administrative options for the region within the month.
Iraqi leaders back Palestinian state
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met with leading Iraqi officials to discuss bilateral relations and the efforts toward peace in the Middle East.
Abbas arrived on an official visit to Baghdad during the weekend where he met with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi and others, the Voices of Iraq news agency reports.
Hashimi expressed his support for an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital while calling on Abbas to seek unity with Hamas leaders in the Gaza Strip.
Maliki, for his part, expressed similar sentiments, noting his unity government in Baghdad was willing to provide a level of support for the Palestinian cause.
Abbas noted his visit was in part a show of Arab unity in the region and sign of Iraqi recovery. His arrival comes on the heels of a visit to the region by Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem. Turkish President Abdullah Gul had also visited Iraq in March, becoming the first Turkish head of state to do so in 30 years.

Checking In On… the America East ConferencePosted by Brian Goodman on November 25th, 2011
John Templon is the RTC correspondent for America East. You can also find his musings online at NYC Buckets (http://www.nycbuckets.com) or on Twitter @nybuckets.
Reader's Take
The Week That Was
- Close Calls: The teams of America East have found themselves on the wrong end of close scores early in the season. The nine teams are a combined 1-8 in games decided by five points or fewer or in overtime. That includes Vermont's two-point loss against South Florida, which would've been a big scalp for the league. The Catamounts also got the league's first close victory with an overtime defeat of Old Dominion, 77-75 in overtime, on Tuesday.
- New High Scorers: Two of the leading scorers in America East this season weren't here in 2010-11. Albany's Gerardo Suero has given the Great Danes a go-to guy and freshman Justin Edwards is leading the way for Maine. See Albany's section below for much more about Suero. What's impressive about Edwards, a Canadian import, is that he's also leading the conference in steals in the early going with 3.5 per game. Edwards was named the America East Rookie of the Week for his efforts last week.
- Slow Starts at the Top: Vermont, Boston University and Stony Brook were supposed to be the class of America East coming into this season. The Catamounts won two games they should've but lost to Long Island in their final game of Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament. The Seawolves suffered a tough loss to Sacred Heart and the Terriers fell to Northeastern and Cornell. Those are the types of 50/50 games that the top third of the league needs to win in order for America East to get some more respect moving forward.

This is a true Moroccan magnum opus, full of art, vibrancy and character. Vintage Boujad rugs share the wisdom and elegance that comes with age, while still retaining its flair. These rugs have matured to allow the softening of the colours while extracting some of the natural Lanolin oil contained in the wool fibres to produce a beautiful finish.
This Vintage Boujad rug is a "living art" – an exotic centrepiece that gives your room an aura of elegance and establishment.
In Morocco these are known as "table mats" in recognition of the way the expressive artwork brings life to the "table" where the daily gatherings of friends and family occur.
We travelled by car, on foot and even mule to reach the Haouz region, nestled between the Middle Atlas and Atlantic Ocean to find this treasure. A Berber woman crafted this unique jewel using the methods passed down from her mother while incorporating her own story using traditional Berber designs and motifs.
A Vintage Boujad rug will have aged gracefully and is a proud centrepiece of an established family home, and as such is very rare. It will have been made by a matriarch of the family using traditions passed down from her mother and grandmother before that.
In the rural Atlas regions, nothing is more important than the family unit, and a vintage Boujad rug is often the pride of the home – something L'om made in her youth. This rug may have taken years of dedication to make and provides a valuable demonstration of the home-making virtues the mother wishes to pass down to her children. It is this tradition of the Boujad Rug that the Moroccan proverb "Exert effort, you shall be rewarded" comes from.
In her youth, this craftswoman collected her wool from the villages of the Middle Atlas, a very soft and extra-virgin wool from the sheep native to the region. Then, she washed her wool in the river with saponary plants. Then in accordance with ancestral Berber tradition, the wool was left exposed under the stars for a whole night to keep the evil eye away.

We support a sustainable, eco-friendly industry. Our rugs are 100% organic, made of natural wool and dyed with vegetable dyes. These materials have been used in carpeting for time immemorial and have proven their longevity and biodegradability. All the materials are sourced locally and help maintain the ecology of the environment around the Middle Atlas region through effective land and livestock management.
Wool naturally contains a lot of lanolin oil. Each time you wash, you will bring out a little of the Lanolin oil in the fibre and coat the hairs of the rug. By doing so, the rug will become even more beautiful over the years. We recommend you only use a mild detergent when washing.

Basic care:
Natural raw wool may contain small fibers during weaving. Over time, these threads/fibers will rise to the surface - they can be lightly sucked out. No need to panic - fiber loss is normal with new wool rugs and will fade over time.
Stain treatment:
For long-lasting maintenance, use a vacuum cleaner. If the stain has been caused by a liquid, you must act quickly to prevent drying - use paper towels to absorb and then shampoo to clean. When in doubt, professional dry cleaning will always remain your best choice.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — An Oklahoma pharmacy will not provide a drug for a scheduled execution next week in Missouri as part of a settlement with the death row inmate's attorneys. But it's unclear whether the agreement will prevent or delay the lethal injection.
A court hearing is scheduled Tuesday in the federal lawsuit filed by inmate Michael Taylor against The Apothecary Shoppe, a compounding pharmacy in Tulsa that his attorneys said was providing a drug that could cause "inhumane pain" during his Feb. 26 execution.
In court documents filed late Monday, his lawyers asked a judge to dismiss the case because the company had agreed not to prepare or provide any drug for use in Taylor's lethal injection. The pharmacy also acknowledged it had not already provided any drug to the Missouri Department of Corrections for the execution, said Taylor's attorney, Matt Hellman.
However, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon indicated last week that the state could move forward with the execution even after the judge issued a temporary restraining order that blocked the company from providing the drug. He did not directly say "yes" or "no" when asked if Missouri had enough drugs for the execution, but he twice stressed that the Department of Corrections was prepared.
Messages seeking comment about the settlement and Taylor's execution status weren't returned late Monday by either Missouri's attorney general or its Corrections Department. Messages also were left by The Associated Press after business hours with the pharmacy and its attorney.
The state has refused to say where it obtains its execution drug, arguing that the source is part of the execution team and therefore shielded from public disclosure. And the Apothecary Shoppe won't confirm that it supplies a compounded version of pentobarbital to Missouri for use in lethal injections.
But in their lawsuit, Taylor's attorneys allege that Missouri turned to The Apothecary Shoppe to supply compounded pentobarbital because the drug's only licensed manufacturer refused to provide it for lethal injections.
Taylor's attorneys say the cloak of secrecy surrounding how Missouri obtains its execution drug and questions about loosely regulated compounding pharmacies raise concerns. The suit alleges that several recent executions in which compounded pentobarbital was used showed it would likely cause Taylor "severe, unnecessary, lingering and ultimately inhumane pain."
Execution drugs have become increasingly difficult to obtain because major drug makers stopped selling pharmaceuticals for use in the death penalty. Many states, like Missouri, have turned to compounding pharmacies, which manufacture drugs for individual clients.
Unlike major drug companies, compounding pharmacies are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Taylor's lawsuit also questioned whether the Tulsa pharmacy could legally produce and deliver compounded pentobarbital. It alleged the pharmacy was not registered as a drug manufacturer with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and violates federal law each time it delivers the drug across state lines to Missouri corrections officials.
Taylor is on death row for raping and killing 15-year-old Ann Harrison after abducting her from a Kansas City school bus stop in 1989. Another man also is on death row for the crime.
Taylor was hours away from execution in 2006 when the U.S. Supreme Court granted a stay over concerns about whether the state's three-drug method could violate the constitutional guarantee against cruel and unusual punishment.
Missouri has executed three men in the past three months, the first three executions using pentobarbital. Missouri had previously used a three-drug execution protocol.

At first glance, employees appear to be doing well. Their financial stress levels have been declining steadily since the first quarter of 2010. A special report released Thursday by Financial Finesse, though, finds that employees may be getting too complacent and that these lower stress levels are actually dangerous.
One giant red flag, according to the report, is that of the 16% of employees who report having no financial stress, 68% also report being unprepared for retirement. A majority don't have a will or trust established and only half say they have enough life insurance to protect their family.
Employees aren't completely stress free. Sixty-eight percent say they have at least some financial stress, while 16% say their stress is either high or overwhelming.
One tool that employers have recently started adopting to help their employees with financial problems is a financial wellness assessment, Linda Robertson, a senior financial planner at Financial Finesse, told AdvisorOne on Thursday. Similar to a health assessment in a wellness program, a financial wellness assessment can help "nip a problem in the bud and spot vulnerabilities before the employee feels it."
In its first-quarter trend report, Financial Finesse noted that employees' overall financial wellness was in decline. In the first quarter of 2012, two-thirds of employees said they had a handle on their cash flow and spent less than they make every month, down from 72% last year. Fewer employees are paying off their credit card balances in full, and fewer have an emergency fund to turn to if they lose their jobs. Last year, 88% of employees said they pay their bills on time every month. That fell to 85% in the first quarter of 2012.
For those who struggle with reasonable amounts of stress, external factors like the stock market and the economy are the major sources. However, for employees who reported high or overwhelming levels of stress, internal factors weigh heavily on their minds. The main causes of their stress are feeling that their financial situation is out of control or that they won't meet their financial goals.
"Those employees who are very stressed by internal factors are the ones who are behind the eight-ball," Robertson (above) says. To help clients get past that, advisors need to make sure that "the foundation for financial planning is taken care of."
Prior to joining Financial Finesse, Robertson worked as a financial advisor and has been in the industry for 20 years. "I rarely talked with my clients about having an emergency cash fund," she recalls. "I focused on long-term goals like retirement planning and paying for college."
She recommends advisors "check in with clients to make sure the basics are taken care of."
Still, one of the leading causes of financial stress is bad money management. Among employees with overwhelming levels of stress, just 15% live within their means. Five percent have an emergency fund and 17% are comfortable with their debt level. Just over a third pay bills on time.

I work for Microsoft here in Sydney. I asked my colleagues for a good place to hire a laptop for a few weeks, and about ten people got back to me in minutes to say that "Hire Intelligence" was well-known and a regular, reliable supplier to Microsoft. So your reputation is pretty good! Also, Sydney University was exceptionally pleased with the service and deal they received from Hire Intelligence! The Institute used the laptop tonight for the first time, and it was a great success. Many thanks for your help; I will certainly recommend Hire Intelligence very highly to friends and colleagues.

Clattenburg interviewed by FA
The Football Association has carried out a series of interviews with match officials as investigations continue into allegations from Chelsea that referee Mark Clattenburg used "inappropriate language" towards their midfielder John Obi Mikel.
The interviewees are understood to have included Clattenburg plus assistant referees Michael McDonough and Simon Long and fourth official Michael Jones.
The interview process was expected to be completed on Thursday night or Friday, enabling a decision on whether any action should be taken by the FA to be made early next week.
Chelsea submitted a dossier of evidence to the FA containing signed witness statements from players, who allege Clattenburg used a term understood to have been interpreted as racist during the Premier League match against Manchester United on October 28.
The full file of evidence from Chelsea was received by the FA at the start of the week and since then the players have also been interviewed.
The case could not be more sensitive following Chelsea skipper John Terry's four-match ban for racist abuse, and the FA is determined to deal with it as quickly as possible - especially following criticism about the time, almost a year, it took to deal with Terry.
Clattenburg, meanwhile, has decided not to referee a match for a second consecutive weekend while the investigation is ongoing.
The Metropolitan Police has also launched an investigation following a complaint lodged by the Society for Black Lawyers, based on reports of the incident rather than any evidence.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has had his say, saying it was "unthinkable" that Clattenburg would make such a comment and that he was "convinced" he would not have done so.
Clattenburg, 37, who is on FIFA's shortlist to be a match official at the 2014 World Cup, strenuously denies the accusations against him.

The Sarasota City Commission said Monday it would prefer the city pay $1.2 million over the next five years to install backflow prevention devices than endure the code-enforcement headaches that would ensue if it leaves the financial responsibility up to the city's water users.
During its Oct. 3 regular meeting, the commission agreed to spend $250,000 per year for the next five years to install approximately 3,000 residential and 1,400 commercial backflow devices.
In an emergency, such a device prevents the backflow of contaminated water from a house or office into the city's water system.
A city ordinance was created to comply with federal and state Health Department standards, but city staff said the current backflow prevention program has encountered problems in forcing the remaining water users who need backflow prevention devices to install one.
More than 2,150 backflow devices have been installed in the city to date.
However, approximately 1,400 commercial backflows still need to be installed. Among residential customers, 3,000 of the devices need to be installed out of the 4,000 required.
Utilities Director Javier Vargas offered the commission several options, including forcing water users to pay approximately $400 for a backflow device, finding ways to spread out customers' payments for the expense and/or providing rebates to customers.
"It's going to be controversial," Vargas said. "It's hard to ask customers to spend $400 to install a device that doesn't provide visible benefits to their homes."
The metal-pipe backflow devices, which typically sit in the middle or front of a yard, can stand out as eyesores unless homeowners cover them with foliage or place fake plastic rocks over them.
The commission agreed with staff's assessment, choosing to fund the program entirely rather than spend thousands of dollars for several years trying to force customers to comply through code enforcement.
The program calls for addressing the commercial backflow devices in the first two years of the program, while working toward installing residential backflows in the second through fifth years.
The goal, Vargas said, is to schedule last the installation of backflow devices at residences with pools, with hope the state might reverse its course and not mandate backflow installations for pools.
Commissioners were committed to the program, but visibly frustrated by the expense.
"This isn't something we dreamed up," said Commissioner Shannon Snyder, who was upset the work had to be done even though the city had had only two backflow incidents in the past 20 years. "Spending a million dollars for a problem we don't have is frustrating."
City Manager Bob Bartolotta, meanwhile, said every customer with a backflow device will be responsible for paying to have the device tested periodically.
"If we do nothing, we are subject to fines," Bartolotta said. "This is what we have to do."
Snyder urged city staff to make sure the backflow devices are installed as close to homes as possible and away from driveways, front yards and sidewalks.
While installing the devices as close as possible to water meters, which typically are in front yards, is safer and better prevents a backflow problem, the city can ask customers to sign waivers that allow the devices to be placed closer to their homes.
"These things get run over all the time," Snyder said. "Let's keep them out of sight as much as possible."
The Sarasota City Commission said Monday it would prefer the city pay $1.2 million over the next five years to install backflow prevention devices than endure the code-enforcement headaches that would ensue if it leaves the financial responsibility up to the city's water users.

[Siren Everlasting Classic ManLove: Erotic Alternative Paranormal Romance, M/M, vampires, HEA] Aslan is used to everyone considering him to be flighty, clueless, and confused. That doesn't mean it's true, but the constant cacophony of voices inside his head makes it kind of hard to pay attention to anything else around him. Torren Braddock has his hands full as a new elder, trying to clean up the mess the former Council members left for him. Adding a mate to his agenda is the last thing he wants to do, but he can't deny the way Aslan draws him in like a moth to a flame. Torren is meant to be his champion, his protector. Aslan is sure of it. When the voices in his head grow louder and more demanding, he realizes something big is coming, something that has the potential to destroy everything—and he'll need his new mate at his side if he hopes to survive it. ** A Siren Erotic Romance
The voices Aslan hears within his head have been with him for as long as he can remember. Oh, they may only murmur at times but when they are shouting it's almost impossible for Aslan to function normally. When he's tried to tell people about the voices he's labeled crazy or nuts so Aslan's learned to keep his mouth shut which is probably why those who don't know consider him scatterbrained or simple.
The position on the Council for witch Torren Braddock holds is proving to be much more challenging and stressful than he ever imagined. Trying to find his missing brothers and all the other issues put before him is taking up all his time and energy.
Visiting Haven Torren comes face to face with his very own mate, Aslan. Torren's so busy with Council business that Aslan is feeling abandoned and unloved, again. What's worse Torren knows that his little mate is a rare kind of witch whose presence could spell disaster for everyone in the near future. Torren has a plateful of responsibilities, but if he's not careful the most important part of his life will slip away forever.
Invincible embraces the differences that can bring lovers together for a lifetime and beyond. Aslan is someone special, unique, and worthy of being cherished while Torren is cold and austere. There's a nice transition for Torren and the story compliments his change and the reasons why perfectly. The Haven series continues to offer fascinating characters and fresh plotlines with each new book. Readers are going to love Invincible.
