Envisioning a positive future
For me, one of the most important attributes of Trees for Life, ever since I launched the project in 1986, is the positive nature of all that we do. I felt impelled then, as I still do today, by my love for the old Scots pines of the Caledonian Forest, and by the plight of the land itself, to take action to help restore the forest and all its life. By responding to the care and concern I feel in my heart, and giving expression to that through words, photographs and practical action, I've discovered the power that I have as an individual to make a positive difference in the world.
From small beginnings - just me as one individual, with no prior experience, working in my spare time - Trees for Life has grown to become a highly effective organisation, with a staff of 13, hundreds of volunteers and thousands of supporters, that is achieving significant results in bringing back the forest. Key to this success is that we work with a positive vision, of a future where the Caledonian Forest is restored to complete health and diversity, with its full complement of species, over a significant part of its former range. It's a vision that stretches 250 years into the future, yet is alive in each moment, and becomes clearer and more focussed with every tree that is planted.
I believe that some of the most important things needed in the world today are positive visions for the future. We live in a human culture that is, to a considerable extent, embedded in negativity, both through its impact on other species and natural ecosystems, and through the themes of violence, crime and greed that dominate the media. Visions of the future tend to be limited, for the most part, to the outdated concept of endless economic growth, or to those of the Hollywood type, of ever more technology, war in space etc. Positive visions, that offer real hope for the future, for humans and all the other species that share the world with us, are rarely given much attention or publicity.
In the past few months, I've spent a lot of time envisioning a positive future for our work. In meetings with the staff team, we've developed an ambitious set of three-year goals for the expansion of both our practical work in the forest and the fundraising efforts needed to achieve that. As part of the management planning process for Dundreggan, I've outlined a vision for how we'd like to see the land there in 50 years time. Now, I'm engaged in a similar process for a presentation I'll give, at the Wildlands Network Conference that we're co-hosting in September, about a possible scenario for the return, in the decades ahead, of Scotland's missing mammals.
All of these are exciting prospects, drawing forth new ideas and possibilities that haven't existed before. This is some of the most important and challenging work that I do, not only for Trees for Life, but also, I believe, in a larger context. That's because whenever I, or anyone, articulates a positive vision, we're helping to chart a new course in human endeavours - one that can act as a magnet for the hopes, aspirations, creativity and hard work of all those who want to be part of creating a better world for all life.

Real Field Work!
With all of this going on it's been a relief to get out to re-connect with the forest and do some work on the ground. Back in November I was out with Dan looking at how the newly planted trees were doing after the autumn Conservation Holidays. As we arrived at Cougie, there was a sudden hailstorm battering the van but it blew over quickly (the storm, not the van!), leaving a rainbow over the Barrach pinewood across the glen, framed by the snow-capped peaks of Affric beyond. Unfortunately, some trees were damaged by voles but hopefully the owls will have brought their numbers down over the last few months - these populations tend to be cyclical in this way. We've set up some plots to monitor the trees' progress both here and in Glen Cannich. It's important for us to get a good picture of the success of previous work and I hope to revisit some of our work sites this year and set up further monitoring plots.
Over the winter there have been a few trips to the Comrie Wood on the Scatwell Estate where we are starting work to expand the fine aspen stands there... It's a special place of majestic old oaks too. Not far away to the west, along the northern edge of our target area, is FCS's Grudie Oakwood in Strath Bran, overlooking Loch Luichart. We have worked here in the past and have a small number of trees in the nursery at Plodda, grown on from collected seed (oak, aspen, holly and bird cherry), some of which we have now planted out. We are looking forward to helping with surveys and monitoring here as part of a new management plan which is being prepared for the site. The woodland has an interesting ground flora and its notable species include the pearl-bordered fritillary butterfly (Boloria euphrosyne).

Montane Scrub
Jill Hodge at the dwarf birch protection site on Wester Guisachan in November.
Another day I was out with Jill, visiting the dwarf birch (Betula nana) exclosure on the Wester Guisachan Estate to check on progress and, with luck, to collect some seed. As we came over the crest of the hill, feeling the wind freshen in our faces, we disturbed a pair of whooper swans (Cygnus cygnus) feeding on the lochan. The male became alert and watched our progress. We steered a course away from them across the bog, which, although it was early November, was relatively sound underfoot after the recent dry weather, and climbed up towards the gate.
The recent review of the UK Biodiversity Action Plan has given greater priority to the protection and restoration of the montane scrub zone including dwarf birch and the less frequent montane willows. We have good survey information for these species covering a number of estates in the Glen Moriston area, with 3 exclosures established some years ago, including at Wester Guisachan. Last autumn we funded a survey of the Fasnakyle area, within the Glen Affric National Nature Reserve, which found that there is a particularly strong population of dwarf birch there. This information will feed into the management plan review for the reserve, currently being undertaken by FCS.
It's now time to re-visit our montane scrub work and I've been drawing up an action plan for the next 3 years. This will include further surveys, further exclosures, perhaps some experimental work to foster regeneration and, hopefully, propagation at the nursery. At Wester Guisachan the dwarf birch has recovered from the former browsing pressure. Although it has not spread, it is now flowering and we did indeed find and collect seed for trials at the nursery.

Staff Corner
Kate Smith's connection to Trees for Life began in 2003 while visiting the Findhorn community. First she dedicated a tree to a friend, and later did a Conservation Holiday at the bothy in Glen Affric. 'It was brilliant, the best thing I've ever done - not just the work, but the group itself - I'm still in contact with some of them!' Kate ran the Trees for Life stall at Treefest in Edinburgh for several years, and last year joined the team as Alan Watson Featherstone's Personal Assistant. She says, 'The thing I love about Trees for Life is that the organisation is so practical - that's what makes us different. I enjoy my role as it lets me see what goes on with all areas of the charity - it is so varied'. When not working tirelessly for the return of the forest, Kate loves patchworking, especially Italian quilting, yoga and reading. Thank you Kate for your commitment and the positive energy you bring to your work.

Edward Cullen; 29 years old, teacher in Forks High School. He is very good looking, single, every single woman want to be with him. He has not fallen in love with no one. But that all changes when Isabella Swan 16 year old sophomore comes to Forks High. She is incredibly beautiful. The minute she steps into Mr. Cullen's class he immediately falls' in love with Isabella Swan: He becomes very obsessed and possessive with Isabella. He will do whatever it takes to get Isabella to love him as much as he loves her. How far will Edward go to gain Isabella's heart? Who will end up getting hurt? Will Edward end up in jail? Will Isabella ever feel the same for him?
ALL HUMAN!!!! Possessive; obsessed; darkwad Edward.
"Soon love, soon we will be together" Edward Cullen promised and kissed the picture of his lovely Isabella Swan, hugging tight against his chest. After a few minutes he put it back in the desk next to his bed.
Once he was done with his shower he looked at some of the pictures of Isabella hanging on the walls of his house. Pictures of her at the mall with her friends, eating dinner with her dad, even some of her while she took a walk around the park. His whole house was brown, just like her long, wavy hair and big brown eyes. Everything in that house reminded him about his lovely Isabella.
As he walked out the door he kissed the picture of Isabella that was next to the door. "Soon" he whispered and kissed it one last time. It took him a couple of minutes to get to the school. Edward waited inside the car just so he could get a quick look at his love before heading to his class.
"Bella!" someone shouted across the parking lot. Edward looked at the direction Angela Weber screamed. A hug smiled spread across his face once he laid eyes on the most beautiful girl. And with that he got off his car and walked to his class room.
"Good morning Isabella" he spoke as she walked inside his class room.
"G-good morning Mr. C-Cullen" she said. She quickly took her seat; which happens to be the one right in front of his desk.
"How was your weekend?" he asked. He got a little closer to her and brushed his hand across her arm. She shudders.
She heisted for a moment but answer "O-okay" he smiled and walked to the board but whispered "Good"
"Good morning class, I hope you all had a great weekend" Mr. Cullen spoke to his class, but never taking his eyes of Isabella Swan.

i think that edward is a little above other people that what he thinks and that he hold all of the power over bella she has to do something before it get any more strange. post more soon
Okay Edward is starting t o creep me out.
It's so brave for Bella to carry on with Edward just so her friends and family doesnt get hurt.
Keep me updated
Aww poor Bella :( grr Edward. He should really be put in jail
OK Edward has officially lost his mind!!!!..How on earth is this going to fly..............until you post again
I love It!!!!!
Chap 21.Edward
I can't believe that I married Isabella. She's my wife. It was a good thing that she wanted that little vacation. I will have never taught that she actually wanted to go on a trip. It is a good thing that I had planned it.
We didn't get to stay there that long. I texted Charlie saying that Bella will be staying with a friend and will be back shortly from Bella's phone so he will think it was her.
Isabella has been trying to avoid me for the last couple of days since we came back from our little get away.
I still remember how she looked it that dress. She looked absolutely beautiful, I just wanted kiss her all night long. But our wedding night was the best; even though she was a little scared at first. Soon the both of use will have our own little kids and we can be a family.
"I love you, my Isabella' I whispered to my love as she slept in my arms. Soon I well let everyone know that she's MINE.
I wanted to cry when I was in my father's arms. I wanted to cry when he thanked Edward for giving me a ride. I just wanted to cry.
I try to avoid Edward at all times. When my dad mention they were coming and I will have some excuse for not being home. I didn't want to see him. Not after all he did.
Sometimes I hear his voice at night, telling me that he loves me. I feel his hot breath in my ear, his lips kissing my neck, his hands exploring my body. I just want this to end.
It's been four weeks since Edward kidnap me. I have been feeling sick for the last couple of days. I have a doctor's appointment today.
And I have a bad feeling about this.
He is delusional!
Is she pregnant?
What will she do now?
I suppose it is good that he brought her back. At least he knows what he is doing is wrong or at least shouldn't be detectable by others.
But I really hope she finds someone to talk to.
Poor Bella - maybe she will talk to the Doctor - will this be Carlisle?
Best wishes
I like what you wrote on your page. Keep up the wondrful work. And i look forward to your next chapter.

Woohoo! Ibook is Here!! – Introduction to Bedside Ultrasound: Vol 1
Comments on this entry are closed.
Only available for iPad? You guys are killing me (note to self: ok, now I got to buy me one!)
First chapter looks great. The ipad is a great medium for teaching US.
Disappointed that it's only on iPad.
We are as well Damon! Apple's distribution contract is very restrictive. We hope to get it out in other forms as soon as possible. We're working on it.
I hope in other tablet too I bought the book as soon as I see it but I can't open because I have an asus transformer (Damn)
Please try to find a solution for non iPAD users
Dissappointed that I cant MAINLINE this information and have it permanently engraved on my brain.
Dissappointed that I cant know all this without doing a little good honest studying.
Dissappointed that I'm never going to be as good as Mike or Matt or Mike.
Ive renamed my iPad "HAL 9001″. I ask it what to do and its not too bad at telling me!
We love Mike and Matt.
We love Mike and Matt.
Great work guys! Is there any plans to put in a chapter on DVT, gall bladder, and some of the more basic extremity nerve blocks?
Absolutely! We have over 35 total chapters we're working on. After 8 months, though, we had so many that had been done for quite a while that we decided to release a volume 1. Since it was already 277 pages and 800mb we thought some people may actually prefer to have it in two volumes anyway, but the main reason was that we didn't have all the chapters finished. The rest of the chapters: DVT, gallbladder, more blocks, advanced echo stuff, medical education, prehospital, and 20 others in total will be coming out soon. I promise we're working AS HARD as we can on it.
Great product but one suggestion – it takes a while to find some content, any chance of a contents page which has links to the different chapters when the book opens? The current thing down the bottom is a bit tedious and slow to use.
PS Second suggestion you need to get FOAMed!
Great book, awesomeness so far!! done with 5 chapters
I was wondering if you had an email so I can send some reference typos I noted?
The sample of the book looks good. The only thing holding me back from buying this book is that I could not find the table of contents.
Do you have a list of the topics this book covers?
Next post: We're #2….and Airway Ultrasound on Saturday!

How Does Rainforest Alliance Certified™ Compare to Fair Trade Certified™?
The Rainforest Alliance and Fair Trade are both international organizations committed to improving the lives of farmers and farm workers in the developing world. The Rainforest Alliance Certified™ seal can be found on an array of farm goods -- from coffee and bananas to flowers and ferns -- as well as timber, paper and other forest-derived products. The Fair Trade Certified™ label appears on an assortment of agricultural goods, including tea, sugar, coffee and vanilla. While the Rainforest Alliance and Fair Trade share similar missions and goals, they differ in focus and strategy.
Fairtrade labelling standards are designed to tackle poverty and empower producers in the world's poorest countries, giving them a guaranteed price for their products. Rather than emphasizing how products are traded, Rainforest Alliance certification -- awarded to farms that meet the comprehensive standards of the Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN) -- focuses on how farms are managed. The SAN standards encompass all aspects of sustainability (social, environmental and economic) and empower farmers with the knowledge and skills to negotiate for themselves in the global marketplace. Farmers engaged in the Rainforest Alliance Certified program learn to grow smart, increasing their bottom line today, and conserving the fertile soils and natural resources on which their children will depend tomorrow.
The SAN standards focus equally on the three pillars of sustainability, rather than biasing one (such as economic) over the others. They are built on the idea that environmental, social and economic sustainability are interlocking circles that cannot be pulled apart. The SAN standards include the most comprehensive environmental criteria in existence. They cover an array of areas, including: soil and water conservation; the protection of wildlife and forests; planning and monitoring; responsible waste management; and the prohibition of dangerous pesticides and genetically modified organisms. Additionally, the SAN standards encompass a range of worker protection issues identified by the International Labour Organization, including the right to organize; the right to a safe, clean working environment; the right to be paid at least the national minimum wage; the right to dignified housing (including potable water); access to medical care for workers and their families; and access to free education for children. Farmers who work with the Rainforest Alliance also learn to increase productivity and control costs, often producing higher quality crops that can earn a better market price.
The Rainforest Alliance works with farms of all sizes, from small cooperatives to large plantations. By choosing to collaborate with large plantations with large workforces, we address the needs of the poorest of the poor: those who do not own land, including migrant workers and employees on large plantations or estates. Our standards help reduce poverty and encourage better employment practices on a large scale, and ensure biodiversity conservation on huge swathes of land. In coffee, Fair Trade works only with smallholder producers operating in cooperatives. (In tea, bananas and flowers -- where bigger estates are more common -- Fair Trade also engages with large farms.)
Because we believe that companies deserve recognition for their commitments to conservation, we allow those using at least 30 percent Rainforest Alliance Certified content to put the seal on packaging. Thirty percent certified content from a multi-national brand can have a huge impact on wildlife and workers. Moreover, by allowing 30 percent content, we also give smaller companies a point of entry. Because we are committed to transparency, if a product includes less than 90 percent certified content, the amount of certified content must be clearly indicated on packaging. Furthermore, while we allow 30 percent as an entry point, we are continuously working with companies to scale up their quantities. View our use of seal guidelines.
For more information, read an independent report by Consumers International comparing an assortment of coffee certification programs. Consumer Reports' Eco-Labels Center also offers an independent assessment of a variety of product labels, including the Rainforest Alliance Certified seal and the Fair Trade Certified mark.
For a complete evaluation, view the SAN standards and the Fair Trade standards side-by-side.

In April 2009, EURODEMO+ has been initiated in form of a voluntary network with the following mission:
EURODEMO+ together with volunteer Regional/National Demonstration Platforms will promote and encourage the use of soil and groundwater remediation technologies through demonstration, with emphasis on the use of sustainable and cost-effective remediation practices. This mission is based upon national/regional structures and needs, stimulated through pan-European exchange. Our goal is to assist and connect stakeholders on "good quality" demonstration practices across Europe.
For the time being the main task of EURODEMO+ is to sustain a pan-European network of National/Regional Demonstration Platforms, with the Federal Environment Agency in Austria being the secretariat until the end of 2012.
Top priorities of EURODEMO+ are to provide a European information platform for credible knowledge and technology transfer and support technology transfer for use within Europe and to the global market in order to increase the demonstration and implementation of sustainable and cost-effective remediation technologies across Europe.
You are cordially invited to make yourself familiar with EURODEMO+, and if you want to join or contribute to EURODEMO+, please contact:

MADRID (AP) -- A Spanish court has subpoenaed Princess Cristina, the daughter of Spain's King Juan Carlos, as a suspect in an investigation of alleged tax fraud and money laundering, the latest blow to the royal family's reputation.
Palma de Mallorca court judge Jose Castro on Tuesday ordered the 48-year-old princess to appear March 8 for questioning about her partnership with her husband Inaki Urdangarin in a firm called Aizoon.
Urdangarin is already under investigation for allegedly using his position to embezzle several million dollars in public contracts assigned to a supposedly nonprofit foundation he set up.
The court canceled a subpoena against the princess for questioning in that case last year.
The probes have seriously damaged the image of 76-year-old Juan Carlos, once one of Spain's most respected figures.

So Happy! - Newport Beach, CA
Excellent Staff, Office and Surgeon! So grateful for their care. I have been wanting to do a lip lift for years. After reasearching and having the courage to find a plastic surgeon, I stumbled on Dr. Bandy's website. I called the office to confirm the pictures online were of ACTUAL patients. I was scared and excited at the same time. Once I met Dr. Bandy and she listened to my concerns, I knew I found the right place! The staff was kind, caring and efficient. Thank You Dr. Bandy!! I can now see my teeth when I smile. I am forever grateful!
Comments (1)
Thanks so much for offering your opinion on your doctor.
With more detail about your experience - such as tips for getting good results, pros/cons, before & after photos - our team can add your story to the Lip Lift community.
As the community manager, I'm asked all the time to keep encouraging people to share more details, so please accept this as a well-intentioned request from thousands.

The MSIF Young Researchers Award is given for the best presentation of a translational project by a young researcher at the annual congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research into Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS).
Dr Benedetta Bodini, a postdoctoral researcher from the Institute of Neurology in Queen Square, London, received the Young Researchers Award 2013 at ECTRIMS in Copenhagen.
Dr Bodini gave a presentation entitled 'White and grey matter damage in early primary-progressive multiple sclerosis: the chicken or the egg?'
As Dr Bodini was not able to accept the award, former MSIF Du Pre grant recipient, Dr Olga Ciccarelli, presented it to Dr. Declan Chard, the second author on the paper.

The Black Book of Colours by Venezuelan Menena Cottin and Rosana Faría is about a boy, Thomas, who describes colours using all his senses except sight.
Thomas feels colours ("…yellow…is as soft as a baby chick's feathers"), tastes colours ("Red is sour like unripe strawberries and as sweet as watermelon"), hears colours ("Brown crunches under his feet like autumn leaves") and smells colours ("…green…smells like grass that's just been cut.")

Beautifully shot by Håvard Byrkjeland, at a house in Oslo designed and built by architect Arne Korsmo (1900-1968), it begins dreamily but then develops a darker edge as the reality of this modern-day Hansel & Gretel's situation kicks in.
"The idea was inspired by a local news story," Kristoffer explains. "A mother left her young kids in the house and was gone for weeks. This happened in January, when I was writing the idea. I mixed that up with my own childhood, and a hint of something sinister." Via.

APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) - A Lamers school bus driver for Appleton schools was arrested for drunk driving Friday morning.
After finishing his route involving four elementary schools, the 51-year-old driver was seen buying beer and cigarettes at a Walgreens store. A witness says they saw the driver drinking on the bus.
It was around 9 a.m. when the driver failed field sobriety tests administered by police officers.
Appleton Public School District Superintendent Lee Allinger says they notified parents of about 25 kids who were on the bus about the situation by phone. A school aid present on the bus did not notice anything out of the ordinary.
It's not known if the bus driver had been drinking prior to the Friday morning route.

The official source of product insight from the Visual Studio Engineering Team
Sometimes it can be hard to keep up with all the top content across our many developer blogs. This makes sense, given that we have thousands of blogs! We want to make it easier for you to find and subscribe to the topics you're interested in.
Today we're introducing the Developer Tools blog network, which connects the top Microsoft developer blogs. You can see that as a member of network, this blog now contains a set of tabs at the top, which make it easy to discover and navigate to blogs in different topic areas:
If you go to the Developer Tools blog network site itself, you will see an aggregate feed of all these blogs together. You can subscribe to this feed by clicking the "All Developer Tools Blogs" RSS button.
If you just want to keep up with all the latest announcements and releases (another common request), you can navigate to the news tab above for a filtered list.
With today's update, you'll notice a few other changes on this blog such as a refreshed user interface. There are some new controls on the right, including videos, twitter, facebook and more. We hope these allow you to connect with us in more ways.
We look forward to hearing what you think about these updates, and continuing the conversations with you all on this blog.

Short Bio: Lisa manages community activities for the Developer Division, such as blogs and the MVP program. She has been a member of the Visual Studio team since 2004, and started her career as a Feature PM for the Visual Studio IDE. Before joining Microsoft, Lisa earned an M.Sc. and B.A. in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University.
You have removed the rating information that was available on the old site. Is this temporary or is this your intention.
The buttons to move between comment pages are gone with this UI Update.
I do like to read the comments on occasion. So it would be nice if they came back.
I also like the ability to rate a blog post. Please consider bringing that back (as James mentioned).
Agree with the others. Please bring back ratings and comment paging.
Any serious inventory of MS development blogs must include Raymond Chen's "The Old New Thing".
"continuing the conversations"
Is that what you call making massively unpopular statements, then never addressing the resulting concerns? I think you guys need to look up the definition of "conversation".
Correction: "The Old New Thing" probably doesn't belong in your set -- this is for Dev Tools and TONT is not really about dev tools.
re comment paging - it's worse than that - it only shows the first page of comments and all other comments are no longer accessible, so it's not just a matter of being able to page. At least if all the comments showed up on the one page (like on the C++ blog) we would be able to see them, but it looks like all other comments are permanently hidden.
Seriously, Is Microsoft incapable of making a decent commenting system? First we had the terrible system on Building Windows 8 where you have to copy your post before sending it as there was over a 50% chance it wouldn't get sent and there would be no way to get what you wrote back, and on this new site you've forgotten to page comments so the majority of them can't be seen!
This is terrible. METRO DOES NOT WORK.
Nice to see new blog.
Haha, there is a pager, just not showing in Chrome!
Ohh and what gets my attention in this new layout is the menu bar at top and the right column... so content is not my main point of attention, which is kind of sad :(
@Simon : or Firefox or IE9! You sure there is a pager?
Yay, pager's back now (on all three major browsers)
Thanks for everyone's patience as we get everything up and loaded. As Ted has pointed out, the pager is back in action. :-)

Deconstructed: 'SPOYLD' money man
The Examiner first reported on BISD Director of Finance Devin McCraney in July of this year, when it was revealed that the BISD money man had made hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of improvements to his home, paying cash to an unknown contractor for the work performed while, at the same time, skirting city of Beaumont building codes. He was subsequently forced to tear down a large portion of his newly renovated home and ordered to pay fines by the city of Beaumont.
According to records from the Jefferson County Appraisal District (JCAD) and the city of Beaumont, McCraney failed to file for a single construction permit to account for adding more than 2,000 square feet (not including an in-ground pool, steel fencing, multiple garages, and lighted pool awning) to his home since the time he purchased the home valued at $125,000 at the end of 2010, thereby dodging the additional property taxes that accompany additional property. JCAD Chief Appraiser Roland Bieber said the construction, if reported, would have roughly doubled the school administrator's tax bill, the lion's share of which is school taxes that pay McCraney's public servant salary. Bieber explained that appraisers had not re-evaluated McCraney's home since it was purchased without any mortgage in 2010 due to there being no record of change to the noted residence. Since The Examiner first contacted JCAD, the agency has since re-evaluated the home, resulting in additional property taxes invoiced due to the county. Additionally, city of Beaumont officials forced McCraney to tear down portions of his home constructed without permit; the BISD finance director, currently on administrative leave while the focus of an FBI probe, is in the process of reconstructing the new construction.
Beiber said that according to JCAD records, McCraney's Avie Lane home was appraised at $125,690, taxed at $2,932 in 2012. However, prior to the end of 2012, McCraney's home had expanded by square footage to hold a value of over $200,000 based on size alone, to be taxed at roughly $4,800. Other improvements have been made since Jan. 1 of this year to reach a square-foot-based value of the home of more than $210,000, taxed in an excess of $5,000.
With a reported annual salary of $75,500, since December 2010, McCraney not only paid outright for a $125,000 home but doubled the size of his home and also paid off his wife's $79,000 Travis Street home. Just months prior to the land acquisition, McCraney let a separate home in Louisiana that was mortgaged to the fullest extent go into foreclosure. Also in the last couple of years, McCraney and wife, Traci, acquired several new model vehicles, most of which were purchased without any lien holder and a couple of which hold personalized license plates such as "SPOYLD" and "DA MRS."
Vehicles registered to the McCraney couple include a 2011 GMC Denali valued at $56,315 purchased in June 2011 with no lien-holder; a 2011 King Ranch truck valued at $30,155 purchased in October 2011; a 2011 Chrysler 200 valued at $31,940 purchased without a lien in July 2012; a 2011 Nissan Murano convertible valued at $46,390 purchased in July 2012; and a 2006 Cadillac purchased for $41,990 with no lien in August 2012.
Independent Audits
Know this will be quite controversial with some, but maybe, for a change, but try someone like Price Waterhouse, Deloiitte & Touche, or Arthur Andersen, instead of local yokels. The Finance Director apparently illegally spent more of the district's money on his and his wife's homes and their cars than retaining one of these firms would have cost.
Outside audit
A school district of this size should certainly use a Big 4 Accounting firm as it's outside auditors. It should be a requirement by the Board. To go with the lowest bidder, who happens to be a local minority firm isn't a prudent business decision. We've all heard the saying, "You get what you pay for." In the case of an external audit, a low bid means less billable hours, which means less work performed. Not to say that there aren't reputable local firms. There most certainly are. BUT they are not scrutinized the way the Bog 4 firms are. They don't recruit the top graduating accountants and they don't spend a fortune on their continuing education programs. When you hire a Big 4 Firm, you know that qualified CPAs are performing and/or reviewing the work on multiple levels.
Even so, what good is an audit report or a management letter from a Big 4 firm if their suggestions will just be ignored by the administration and the Board? They've been told that there were issues with activity funds, AND YET, they still kept unqualified individuals in key positions. In fiscally prudent companies, restructuring would occur and policies and procedures would have been implemented to correct areas of weakness, like cash controls.
Director of Finance Credentials
Again, by using the "Licensee Lookup" function on the website of the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy, it is clear that he is NOT a CPA in the state of Texas. Shouldn't this be a requirement for this level of position? It is with other local companies.
BISD should WANT someone that holds this designation and is required to complete ethics courses every two years, as this license requires.
They should be held
They should be held accountable. I'm still wondering how they got all of those top ratings for their finances. Maybe the people who came to audit have some type of close connection to BISD.
Troubling questions
Just a few 'troubling questions' are :
(1) Why didn't any prior BISD audits by outside firms not find any inappropriate activities?
(2) Why didn't any prior BISD audits provide any significant observations/findings that should have been implemented to adhere to general accepted accounting procedures (GAAP) ?
(3) Are the prior BISD audits provided by outside firms able to held accountable? Will they be held accountable?
Outside Audits
The outside "independent" accounting firm is based in Port Arthur, TX. I question the size of the firm, the number of CPAs employed, and their ability to handle the size of the BISD audit. I further question their "independence."
Further, what are the credentials of the two financial employees? Are either of them Certified Public Accountants? Do they even hold degrees in Accounting? What interview process was followed when they were hired and who approved their hiring?

Revisiting Republica's March Release "Christiana Obey"
Posted by Shamir Lee on 12/13 at 03:49 PM
Okay, so I'm a little late on this, but better late than never, right? 90s band Republica released a new track this past March called "Christiana Obey." The song is a dark track that is reminiscent of their earlier sound. It's hard to tell exactly what this song is about, but I interpret it as a message of a woman who possesses two personalities, good and evil. Christiana is the evil side. She must be tamed and forced to "obey" the good side's behavior and actions. If my interpretation is correct, this is a very interesting song. It's personally very relatable. It's too bad it won't receive more airplay. They retain their 90s sound, almost too much, which wouldn't fit in with the only somewhat 80s/90s-inspired (but not half as creative) music of today.
Besides drummer Conor Lawrence, who joined the band only last year, the line-up includes all of the original members, which is great to see. Lead singer Saffron works her signature red and black hair like before. The band hasn't changed much, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I hope they continue making quality music for their loyal fan base in the years to come.
Republica is most famous for their 1996 hit, and one of my personal favorites, "Ready to Go." Other notable songs include "Drop Dead Gorgeous," featured in Wes Craven's Scream (1996) and "Get Off."
Check out "Christiana Obey" below:

Our Story
I was raised in Montréal Canada and this was my favorite sandwich growing up! It was introduced to Montréal by the Jewish immigrants in the late 1800's. In the old country their butchers had learned to save their beef without refrigeration. The meat was brine cured for several days with pure salts, sugars and pickling spices to preserve it. When the immigrants came to Canada they observed the native Indians smoking the meats to preserve it. That is when the immigrants added one more step to their original recipe for this wonderful brisket. Since then it has been known in Montréal as Jewish smoked meat. Traditionally served as a sandwich on Jewish rye bread with a touch of mustard. Please Enjoy! -Y.M.

Big news from Twitter: it has officially launched its "Firehose" API in which third-parties can have 100% access to Twitter's data. Twitter proclaims the announcement as something "Enabling a Rush of Innovation" but you could easily argue it is "Enabling a Rush of Revenue" as Twitter will start to charge for different API packages.
Much like the recent announcement that Twitter will start placing advertising within search results, the concept of charging for access to its API is a no-brainer from a business perspective. It's something that I have argued in the past that Twitter should have been actively considering given the value that the API provides to third-party services looking to use the API to build businesses.
As GigaOm's Liz Gannes points out, the big question now is now much Twitter will charge for its API. It makes sense that smaller users will likely pay nothing or a modest amount, while high-volume API users (Tweetdeck, Seesmic?) will pay significant amounts.
Twitter said there are seven companies now using Firehose – Ellerdale, Collecta, Kosmix, Scoopler, twazzup, CrowdEye, and Chainn Search. Twitter did not talk about pricing structures said "these companies range from funded startups to part-time, one-person operations so we came up with a fair way to license access that scales with their business".
What we're finally seeing from Twitter is the foundations for a business plan that will generate enough revenue to justify the venture capital that it has attracted. Generating revenue from advertising and its API is something that Twitter could have introduced months ago but, for whatever reason, it decided to wait until early-2010 to do it.
Maybe the time is finally right, or maybe Twitter's investors have put the hammer down, and make it clear that it was time for Twitter to quickly evolve from a popular project into a viable business.

Menopause Treatment: Talking With Your Doctor
Talking to Your Doctor
Since we're always learning more about menopause treatment options and hormone therapy, it can be confusing to figure out how to treat or manage menopausal symptoms. It is important for you to have a doctor that you trust, so you can have an open talk about your concerns and your treatment options. Then you can make informed decisions about your health that you feel good about. If you feel that you have talked openly with your doctor and still don't feel satisfied, you should think about getting a second opinion.
Knowing how to talk to your doctor or other members of your healthcare team can help you get the information you need about menopause. Your doctor will tell you, as you near menopause, that you may have symptoms from the changes your body is making. For some women, their menopause symptoms will go away over time without treatment. Other women will choose treatment for their symptoms.
Talk to your doctor about how to best manage menopause. Talk about your symptoms and whether they bother you. Make sure the doctor knows your medical history and your family medical history. This includes whether you are at risk for heart disease, osteoporosis, and breast cancer. Remember that your decision is never final. You can, and should review it with your doctor during a checkup. Your needs may change, and so might what we know about menopause.
Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT)
To help control the symptoms of menopause, some women can take hormones, called menopausal hormone therapy (MHT). MHT used to be called hormone replacement therapy or HRT. The use of MHT has been debated a great deal since the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) Hormone Study findings were released in 2002. Before this study, it was thought that MHT could ward off heart disease, osteoporosis, and cancer, while improving women's quality of life. Findings emerged from clinical trials that showed this was not so.
In fact, long-term use of MHT poses some serious risks. New results from the WHI confirmed that using MHT does not protect against coronary heart disease (CHD, called heart disease here). There is good news, however: The results also suggest that short-term use of MHT does not increase heart disease risk in women who begin MHT within 10 years of onset of menopause. But, it appears that the longer a woman waits to begin MHT after the onset of menopause, the greater her risk of developing heart disease. More research is needed to fully understand this issue. Still, a woman has options when it comes to managing the symptoms of menopause.
During perimenopause, some doctors suggest birth control pills to help with very heavy, frequent, or unpredictable menstrual periods. These pills might also help with symptoms like hot flashes, as well as prevent pregnancy. As you get closer to menopause, you might be bothered more by symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, or vaginal dryness. Your doctor might then suggest starting MHT.
A woman whose uterus has been removed can use estrogen alone to control her symptoms. But a woman who still has a uterus must take progesterone or a progestin (a man-made progesterone) along with the estrogen. These hormones will probably help with menopause symptoms and prevent the bone loss that can happen at menopause. However, there is a chance your symptoms will come back when you stop MHT.
Once a woman reaches menopause, MHT currently is recommended only as a short-term treatment of moderate to severe symptoms such as hot flashes or night sweats. Women who have problems with vaginal dryness can try lower dose estrogen products, such as vaginal creams, rings, and tablets. Long-term use of MHT is no longer advised, and doctors very rarely prescribe MHT to prevent certain chronic diseases, like osteoporosis. Postmenopausal women should not take MHT as they grow older to prevent problems like heart disease. A woman should talk about the benefits and risks of using MHT with her doctor to decide if MHT is right for her.
MHT can help with menopause by:

The former chief of the Chelsea Housing Authority was charged Wednesday with four felony counts of deliberately concealing his inflated salary from state and federal regulators from 2008 until he resigned in 2011, triggering a scandal that has rocked Massachusetts' public housing system to its foundation.
US Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz announced the federal charges against Michael E. McLaughlin, 67, of Dracut, alleging that McLaughlin deliberately underreported his annual salary by up to $164,000 a year in mandatory reports to state and federal housing regulators. The charges were contained in a document that is normally used when the defendant has agreed to plead guilty.

By Julia Emmanuele, Hollywood Staff
If the success of The Social Network and Moneyball have proved anything, it's that the only thing Hollywood loves more than an underdog story is one that's based on a best-selling book and deals with an American pastime, like social media or baseball. Or video games, which is the new subject of the upcoming film Console Wars. The movie will tell the story of the battle for supremacy in the 1990s between Nintendo and Sega. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg have been tapped to write and direct an adaptation of Blake J. Harris' book, which will follow Tom Kalinske, the man who helped transform Sega from a failing arcade company into a video game juggernaut, and helped the company take on Nintendo when it was at the peak of its success. Although the pair is mostly known for their comedy work, Rogen and Goldberg have enough geek cred to give them an edge on this story. Since they've already written a foreword for the book, it seems as if they know their subject pretty well. Plus, the Nintendo/Sega wars seem like the kind of story that would benefit from some irreverent goofiness. After all, most of these video games are pretty weird when you think about them.
Of course, Rogen and Goldberg's film won't be the first time in which Nintendo and Sega have faced off on screen. Over the years, both companies have seen their most successful franchises be adapted into movies, television series and Saturday morning cartoons, and sometimes even become a pop culture phenomenon. In honor of Console Wars, we've taken a look at the good, the bad, and the unnecessary in order to determine which company reigns supreme when it comes to big and small screen adaptations. Although, any time Nintendo wants to stop making Pokèmon movies is fine by us.
