Sheriff bans cars, trucks, SUVs from Hennepin Co. lakes
- 9 February, 2012 //

This just out from the Hennepin County sheriff's office:
Due to the increasingly unpredictable ice conditions as a result of unseasonably warm weather, the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office is prohibiting the use of cars, trucks, and SUVs on all frozen bodies of water in Hennepin County. Lake access points are closing today, February 9. This will remain in effect until further notice.
It is unsafe for vehicles to drive on the ice on lakes, rivers, or ponds in Hennepin County. On Lake Minnetonka, there are areas of open water and channels are extremely dangerous and have moving water.
Recreational vehicles such as snowmobiles and ATVs will be allowed on county lakes. However, people using recreational vehicles, those who are walking or ice fishing on lakes — are urged to use extreme caution due to thin ice and open water. Ice thickness varies considerably due to the freezing and thawing that has taken place.
There have been multiple incidents of other vehicles that have broken through ice in metro area lakes and nearby counties. In Hennepin County, there have been eight incidents involving vehicles going through ice on various lakes so far this winter. Most of the incidents have taken place within the past week:
- February 8, an SUV broke through ice on Eagle Lake in Maple Grove.
- February 7, an ATV broke through ice on Parker's Lake in Plymouth.
- February 6, an SUV broke through ice on Medicine Lake in Plymouth.
- February 4, a pick-up truck broke though ice on Lake Minnetonka, Upper Lake. The vehicle became submerged and the driver escaped through a window. A passerby, a man who was cross country skiing, assisted the man with getting out of the lake. The man was transported to a hospital and treated for hypothermia.
- February 4, a pick-up truck broke though ice on Lake Minnetonka, Smith's Bay.
- February 1, an ATV broke through the ice on Lake Minnetonka at Lost Lake.
- January 29, a man and a juvenile male in an SUV were driving on Haltstead Bay channel, broke through the ice, and both people escaped through the windows of the vehicle. The vehicle became submerged. Both people made it to shore.
- January 21, a car broke through the ice on Lake Riley in Eden Prairie.
No ice should ever be considered safe. For more information about ice safety, the Minnesota DNR has information online at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/safety/ice.
And this from sheriff's spokeswoman Lisa Kiava:
Several people have asked — what is the fine if people violate the new restriction and drive a car, SUV, or truck onto a frozen body of water?
The answer is — it is a misdemeanor with a mandatory court appearance, and a judge may set a fine. Keep in mind that enforcement of the new restrictions will emphasize educating the public — and verbal warning, if needed. Our goal is to keep people safe, not write tickets.

Good morning from Fort Myers
FORT MYERS, Fla. — As snow once again bears down on New England, it might be nice to know that the Red Sox are only 30 days away from Opening Day in Baltimore.
Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel was at JetBlue Park last night for a charity event the Red Sox Foundation held in a tent outside the park. "Johnny Football" mingled with Red Sox players and invited guests.
The Sox are at the Twins today, a road trip of six miles to newly refurbished Hammond Stadium.

Good times.
Meh, we've won a lot of games of footy in that time and been in the finals regularly. Obviously we haven't won a flag, and it would be lovely to be able to say that we had, but I find it hard to be too disappointed about having a decent team that has generally put in 100% out on the park and won a lot more than it lost over the past decade.
Plus we've been financially successful and not had to compromise on stuff like our jumper, selling games interstate etc.

To many of us, this the most prized variant of the Taurus Judge, the 3 inch chambered stainless with 4 inch barrel. Manufacturer is Forjas Taurus S.A. of Porto Alegre, Brazil. Importer and warrantor is Taurus International of Miami. Type is traditional double and single action revolver. Construction is all steel metal, matte stainless finish with matching hard chrome trigger and hammer, and steel internal parts. Barrel is One Piece 4 inch, with a six groove right hand 1:16 rifled bore that deliberately has shallow rifling. Sights are dovetailed, black steel housed red fiber optic front, with fixed notch frame integral rear sight. It has a .400 semi-target serrated spur hammer, matching stainless .400 smooth faced combat trigger, and beveled low profile serrated thumb latch. Cylinder is 3 3/8 inches long, and the revolver measures 11 inches overall. The nominal caliber, of course, is .45 Colt, and the bore is indeed rifled as required by the NFA Act of 1933. The forte of this revolver comes with its ability to chamber both 2 1/2 and 3 inch .410 gauge shotshells. From our experience, the big three US Made shells work flawlessly, Remington, Federal, and Winchester; while there have been some problems with extracting Italian, Czech and Turkish made shells. This revolver is 5 round capacity; 38 1/2 ounces empty with center of gravity at the front trigger guard junction. It has highly absorbent and pliable factory ribbed rubber grips, fixed notch frame integral rear sight with high-visibility high visibility fiber optic front sight that is encased in steel and dovetailed into the barrel. Safety features consist in the firing mechanism working with flat faced hammer against a floating firing pin like its S&W Governor offspring, and with a transfer bar that requires full depression of the trigger before the firing pin can contact a cartridge primer. It also has Taurus's innovative hammer lock inconspicuously seated and furnished with two keys. Grips are pliable, recoil absorbent Taurus Ribber® type. Numbered model is 4510; named model is simply, the Judge. Taurus factory number is 2-441049MAG. Each Judge comes in its original factory box with its wrapper, instruction manual, two keys, grip removal wrench, statement of factory warranty, and factory registration card. Replacement pricing on 3 inch chambered Judges usually exceeds $600 per unit in our area, and they aren't easy to find, even at that. We're offering the Matte Stainless 3 inch by 4 inch Judge in the photos, however, for only $ 419.00.

Have you seen Knocked Up with Seth Rogen? Seriously funny movie. One of the funny characters in the film is the stoner girlfriend who sits around on the couch smoking from a big bong while chuckling. The actresses name is Charlyne Yi and she is a 23 year old comedienne, musician, writer, artist, actress.
Have you seen Juno- with the teenager that gets knocked up? The baby daddy is played by Michael Cera he is also in Superbad- Really funny (Canadian) guy who I challenge anyone not to like.
When I saw a film titled Paper Heart that stared these two I ordered it immediately.
Paper Heart (2009) is a mokumentary/ hybrid documentary that has Charlyne Yi and Michael Cera playing fictionalized versions of themselves. The movie is about love and the search for the meaning of love. It follows Charlyne as she embarks on a quest to interview people about the meaning of love while examining her budding romance with Michael. I really love the aspect of interview footage, intertwined with behind the scenes film making, paper cut out animation and awkward love. Geeky love is the best because at the end of the day isn't true love about loving each others inner geek?

A survey of several dozen senior leaders in the government acquisition community paints a bleak picture of challenges facing the acquisition workforce and perhaps an even bleaker picture ahead.
Among the worries of dozens of federal officials are that budget cuts threaten to undo what gains the government has made with regard to the size and quality of its corps of acquisition professionals, and a simmering war between the government's audit and acquisition communities continues to prevent procurers from getting what agencies want from contracts. The Professional Services Council, an association of government contractors, and Grant Thornton, a consulting firm, conducted the research. Interviewers gathered input from 40 leaders across government. Most were senior acquisition officials, but the roster also included congressional staff members, Office of Management and Budget officials and others.
PSC and Grant Thornton have been conducting the same study since 2002. The most striking and troubling feature of the responses is how little they've changed over the intervening period, said Stan Soloway, PSC's president.
Sponsored Content: Why Governance, Risk and Compliance is Everyone's Business - Download the Executive Brief Today.
"We were struck not just by the fairly clear consistency of the concerns they have, but by the fact that a number of the most critical issues being raised are the exact same issues that have been raised by respondents," Soloway told reporters during a conference call. "If you're asking a similar group of people the same questions for 10 years and their answers come back pretty much the same for 10 years, I think it's fair to conclude that whatever you've been doing to address those problems isn't working."
The report, subtitled "an unabated crisis," is a fair summary of its findings as a whole. With respect to the size and quality of the acquisition workforce, 71 percent of respondents said things have actually gotten worse over the last two years.
Shallow bench
One major challenge is pure and simple demographics. Acquisition leaders say their most experienced people are getting very close to retirement, and the bench that's in line behind them is fairly shallow.
The problem is especially acute in the information technology field, Soloway said.
"The IT workforce in government has a 7-to-1 ratio of people over 50 versus under 30," he said, citing statistics from the Office of Personnel Management. "Put that together with what we found in this survey, and it suggests that it's time for a really, really serious re-look about how we're developing a very critical government workforce."
As to the quality of the workforce, the survey found that training opportunities through formal institutions such as the Defense Acquisition University and Federal Acquisition Institute have become more abundant, even while quibbling with the quality of the education those organizations provide in some specific areas.
But leaders said acquisition expertise isn't just about training, it's also about experience and mentorship. And those mentorship opportunities are declining as experienced people get promoted or retire, Grant Thornton's Phil Kangas said.
"We asked about how prepared the workforce was on negotiation skills, how prepared they were for the prospect of sequestration, and about complex IT acquisitions," he said. "There's a clear recognized need for those skills and a recognized lack of capacity for those skills. There's clearly issues as to how prepared the government is on those fronts."
Competition is tough for skilled people
Another key challenge is the cutthroat competition the skills agencies need in their acquisition workforces.
Part of the issue is that some of the major competencies that are critical to a lot of acquisition jobs, such as systems engineering, are in short supply across the economy. But the study's authors said in government the issue isn't so much that private industry is luring people out of the civil service, it's that agencies are fighting for a limited pool of talent among themselves. "The agencies are waiting for someone else to do the training, and then using grade increases or other inducements to get them to move from one agency to the other," said Alan Chvotkin, PSC's vice president. "It's more intra-governmental than it is folks moving to the outside."
The Army's Contracting Command is one example of that phenomenon. It made the decision to completely shutter its Washington contracting office last month because other federal agencies regularly were stealing the contracting personnel it had spent significant time and money to train.
"Some of the other services had told me that they don't even do a training program. They just wait and hire our guys away," Maj. Gen. Camille Nichols, ACC's commanding general, said in a recent interview with Federal News Radio. "In a place like the National Capital Region, it was very difficult to retain our best people."
Acquisition leaders in Washington also are deeply concerned about agency budgets being in a state of perpetual uncertainty. Among their concerns, they cited the prevailing notion that even if sequestration doesn't occur, cuts to the civilian workforce are a near certainty. The government went through a wave of what are now widely regarded as unwise cuts to the acquisition workforce in the 1990s. But Soloway said there's widespread concern that those lessons have already been forgotten, and that acquisition will be cut in equal proportion to the rest of the civilian and military payroll as the government gets more austere.
"We know the cuts are coming. The question is whether they're going to be taken strategically or not," he said. "In hindsight, thinking about it more strategically, you might not have cut all those areas equally in the '90s. If you look at the technology requirements, you realize you need to protect and enhance your technology and acquisition workforces because they're going to be the most essential. That's not normally the way it's done in government, because government tends to be very egalitarian in how it approaches these things. I think the lesson of the 90s, and what the folks in this survey are saying, is that that may be how we've done it in the past, but we can't afford to do it that way anymore."
Need to balance oversight requirements
The report also concluded government contracting experts are growing increasingly frustrated with the sense that they spend more time responding to various overseers — OMB, the Government Accountability Office, inspectors general and other auditors — than they do performing their day-to-day-missions.
The PSC findings are by no means a call for the abolition of oversight, Soloway said. But he said they do reflect a view from within the acquisition community that it's more important to successfully survive an audit than to successfully negotiate a contract.
"It's not just the overworking of the workforce with requirements that don't add any value, it's the message it sends to your workforce when compliance becomes more important than the outcomes," he said. "We have people who are afraid to do critical thinking, and they're increasingly wrapped around rigid, often non-value-added oversight."

- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Alcohol & Smoking
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Apr 25, 2007
- Channel: Auction House
This is an Erik Nording Ocaso 2004 Bent Freehand Pipe. I bought this pipe new a little over a month ago at a retail store named Briar and Bean. It is in excellent condition. T are light tooth marks on the stem. I smoked it around 10 times. I've used pipe cleaners to remove moisture after every couple of smokes. I never removed the stem while the pipe was warm. I have not reamed, polished, or done any work to this pipe. The stem fits tight into the shank. The pipe is approximately 6" long. The bowl is 1 1/2" deep and 3/4" wide inside. The pipe comes with the original green bag. I have taken great care of this pipe. I am selling this pipe only because I need the money to support my new habit of buying pipes on eBay. The shipping charge is $4.50 stateside. Personal checks must clear before I send the pipe. If you have any questions email me anytime. Thanks.

jim crint - Unregistered March 13, 2013 11:42 AM Well, Nigel Mansell was 39 when he won his title, jack Brabham was 40 and Fangio was in his 40's when he started his F1 racing career. Of course, you can't compare like for like but these days, the drivers are so fit, they can continue far longer than they did even 20 years ago. Also, the sport is a lot less dangerous than it once was so the mental side doesn't take it's toll as it once did. I hope you stick round for a while yet Mark. You almost made it in 2010. Let's see some more of those banzai moves again, such as on Alonso into Eau Rouge. 12 agree 2 disagree

17 May 2010 An $8 billion investment annually in rebuilding and 'greening' the world's fisheries could both increase fish catches and generate $1.7 trillion in long-term economic returns over the next four decades, according to a new United Nations report.
An influx to the fishing sector – with funding being covered by scaling down or phasing out the nearly $30 billion worth of subsidies in place currently – is needed to curb the excess capacity of the world's fishing fleets while supporting workers in alternative livelihoods.
Funding is also vital to reform the management of fisheries through such policies as setting up marine protected areas to allow depleted stocks to recover and to grow, says the Green Economy report, whose preview version was released today.
"Fisheries around the world are being plundered or exploited at unsustainable rates," said Achim Steiner, Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). "It is a failure of management of what will prove to be monumental proportions unless addressed."
The choices governments make now and in the coming years regarding the fishing industry will impact more than half a billion people, he pointed out.
The final version of the report – covering 11 sectors, including agriculture, waste and tourism – will be issued later this year.
In a related development, a new UN-backed project will help strengthen Sierra Leone's fishing sector, which was destroyed by the decade-long, brutal civil war in the West African nation.
Currently, small-scale and subsistence fishing account for 85 per cent of the fish landed in Sierra Leone, and the industry has great potential to generate jobs and enhance food security, according to the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO).
"At present, there are two main constraints that are preventing the growth of the industrial fishing sector," said the agency's Director-General, Kandeh K. Yumkella.
Firstly, he said, institutions supporting the industry have limited human resource capacity, especially at the middle and junior levels of management, and the second challenge is the lack of local skilled labour, resulting in the reliance on foreign workers.
Under a new scheme financed by Russia, UNIDO will set up a Fishery Training Institute, which seeks to help make the sector more commercial in Sierra Leone.
The agreement to set up the project was signed today in Moscow, with Russia also committing $1.5 million to improve water quality and reduce the negative impacts of industrial activities in the Volga River basin, as part of another UNIDO initiative.

June Friendship Gift
Whenever I have guest over from out of town (including
friends and family who use to live in Michigan) I like to send them back with a
"made in Michigan" goody. Since the warmer months tend to bring a lot of out of
town guests to my house I figured June would be the perfect month for a made in
Michigan friendship gift. Guests will have their choice of: Faygo pop in old
fashion bottles or a bag of Better Made Barbeque potato chips, both are made in
Detroit, and equally delicious.

Protein Folding Problem: Demystifying a Major Conundrum of Science
Protein molecules are responsible for many functions throughout not only human bodies, but the bodies of all types of animals. Protein molecules, which come in billions and trillions of tiny little sophisticated systems, run your brain, your immune system, and your heart, making them some of the most important things for the body to thrive.
Ken Dill at TEDxSUB (Stonybrook University) delved into a deep question surrounding this incredible nano-machines known as protein molecules and their general function in living creatures. The question centers on the "protein folding problem", where for over 50 years, this concept has been a major mystery is modern science and biology.
How do protein molecules - small string-like chemicals - translate the basic functions of humans and living organisms. In other words, how are protein molecules responsible for our body's ability to reject pathogens via our immune system, exert force via our muscles, perceive vision via ours, and more. And that's just the one human level. How about protein folding problem for plants, like how plant biology can convert solar energy.
In addition to demystifying some of these questions, Ken Kill at TEDxSUB also discusses how protein molecules could play as vital servants in commercial world of medical technology for the future, particularly surrounding fields of health and disease prevention.
The science-heavy subject matter of this TED Talk is a bit thick, but definitely worth a watch if you're interested in geeking-out on such topics. Some of the key things to keep in mind are understanding the amino acid profile of proteins and their overall composition. This factors into the "code" or the manner in which protein molecules reinforce specific actions.
So whether you're biology nerd who is passionate in the protein folding problem, or seeking to review plant-based protein powders in a more sophisticated manner, check out this TED Talk from Ken Dill.

Analyzing Oral Reading and Assessing Fluency
Question of the Day http://www.polleverywhere.com/multiple_choice_polls/LT g0MDE2MzY2NAhttp://www.polleverywhere.com/multiple_choice_polls/LT g0MDE2MzY2NA
Fluency Presentations
Today's Class Discuss Inquiry Group Guidelines Place name on wiki for Inquiry Assessment Review Progress Monitoring Analyze Miscue Analysis and Running Record data Summarize the findings from MA data Describe Assessments for Fluency Select Instructional Strategies
Inquiry Groups Thoroughly Research and Critically Analyze one of the many "High Stakes assessments" used in the schools –Guidelines
Refocusing on Assessment Illinois Certification Testing System Reading Teacher Reading Specialist
Progress Monitoring Routine assessment of a student's progress on certain key indicators, which may be compared to the typical progress of the students in the same grade. (Bell and McCallum, 2005)
Why do we do it? Accountability To measure growth individuals and groups Collect data for support personnel (school psychologist, special educators, reading specialists) to determine if a student needs support services Accountability
IRIs What will you assess with an IRI? Oral Reading Record: Word Identification in context Analysis of Miscues Reading Rate in WPM and CWPM Of course- this must always be connected with some sort of comprehension assessment
Why MA? Miscue Analysis is a window into the reading process. Teachers try to come to some understandings about how readers are making sense of texts. (Goodman, 1973) Readers are actively constructing meaning All readers miscue Readers use the cueing systems interchangeably to make sense of texts Overuse of one cueing system or lack of use of a cueing system impacts comprehension and fluency Miscue Analysis helps students gain insight to themselves as a reader
Analyzing a Miscue Analysis Symbol Review- How do you mark… Correct Word Omission Insertion Substitution Pause No Attempt or Assistance Self-Correct Reversal Repetition
Running Records An Observation Survey: Developed by Marie Clay (1993) A standardized assessment that measures early literacy behaviors –Letter Identification –Word Test – Concepts About Print –Writing Vocabulary –Hearing and Recording Sounds in Words –Text Reading (Running Record) Used to determine an appropriate level of text difficulty Records what the child does when reading continuous text Analysis includes calculating errors to determine Accuracy and Error Rates, Error and Self-correct ratios Identifies and Categorizes Reading Behaviors: MSV
Errors? Counted as Errors Substitutions Omissions Insertions No Attempt and Assistance Reversals Not Counted as Errors Self Correct Hesitations Repetitions These need to be noted if they occur frequently (qualitative analysis)
Calculating the Data Tally the information you recorded Count the number of miscues Determine what Cueing System the student was using or not using when he/she made the miscue Calculate –Error Rate (E/W x 100) –Accuracy (%, 100-ER) –Self-correction rate (ratio, SC:SC + E)
Involving the Student: RMA Retrospective Miscue Analysis: Readers listen to a recording of their readings and describe the types of miscues they make. They can also discuss the why they made a particular miscue and the "quality" of their miscues. This develops better understanding of themselves as readers and the reading process. See: Using Retrospective Miscue Analysis to Inquire: Learning from Michael (Wiki)
High Quality Miscues Many miscues readers make are acceptable. (They do not change the meaning of the text and/or they are follow the conventional grammar rules) In some cases, a substituted word can convey a more vivid word than the author's word. The reader is reading his/her interpretation into the text. Ex: The wolf called, "Little pig, little pig… Reader substitutes "cried" for "called"
Another Example Text: So the next morning, the wife went off to the forest. The husband stayed home and began to do his wife's work. Reading: So the next day, the wife went off to the forest. The husband stayed home and began to do his wife's job.
How can this be done with authentic texts? Get a ballpark estimate of student's reading level Select a text using readability formula Conduct a MA/RR with the student Analyze the data Determine strengths and areas for growth Select strategies
Let's practice Use the in-comprehension reading rubric as we listen to the students read and retell Get with a partner… discuss your thoughts and analysis. What is this assessment more like: MA or RR What is the benefit to this rubric?
Next time Bring and analysis of your "students" with you Review RMA article
Question of the Day http://www.polleverywhere.com/multiple_choice_polls/LT g0MDE2MzY2NAhttp://www.polleverywhere.com/multiple_choice_polls/LT g0MDE2MzY2NA
Today's Class Summarize the findings from MA data Describe Assessments for Fluency Select Instructional Strategies
Readability and Leveled Texts Turn and Talk: How can you level a text? IEP Readability Scale Smog Readability Scale Word Readability Online Resources Lexile Measures –Ranges from 200L to 1700L –Used in many districts around the country and has been around for about 50 years –Children are assessed and given an "lexile score" (Score correlates to a grade level)(Score correlates to a grade level) –Database helps match books and readersDatabase
Lexile Students' Reading Level is assessed and given a Lexile Score Scores correlate with a grade level Many books have already been leveled and given a Lexile score Teachers, Students and Parents select materials for the student by matching the Lexile scores
Reviewing our readers
Summarizing the Data Look at the Oral Reading Data and use scoring sheet of your choice What patterns do you notice? What are the reader's strengths and where does this person need to grow as a reader? What would your next steps as the teacher be? Strategies?
Assessing Oral Language Tools we have for assessing fluency and reading rate: –Words per MinuteWords per Minute –Oral reading rubrics –DIBELS Oral Reading FluencyDIBELS Oral Reading Fluency Use the Rubric to assess the following http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01qapiaYnBU&feature=r elated Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus
Assessing Oral Language Tools we have for assessing fluency and reading rate: –Oral reading rubric –Multidimensional Fluency Scale Choose one of the methods and practice using it as we listen to reading. Or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR0- aMLx6E0 or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zChENpc87 AA or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR0- aMLx6E0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zChENpc87 AA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIytn4NYPj4
Oral Reading Rate 1. Words in the passage= 250 2. 250x60= 15000 3. Time the reading (150 seconds) 4. 15000/150= 100 5. Use the table (for "C(orrect)WPM, subtract the number of miscues=12, from #4) So 88
Strategies for Developing Fluency Model Fluent Reading (Read-aloud) Shared Reading Repeated Readings Work with High Frequency Words to Develop Automatcity Strategy Ideas: Busy Teacher Café http://www.busyteacherscafe.com/literacy/fluency.h tml

Core Reinsurance Solution at a Global Enterprise
Top Global ReinsurerChallenge:

- CSC's SICS core reinsurance solution
- Common processes and efficiency across the company
- Operational flexibility to support significant growth and achieve an enhanced leadership position
Contact UsContact Us
Learn More About SICSLearn More About SICS
Long-Term Relationship
This leading reinsurance enterprise has gained great business benefits from its long-term relationship with CSC. We have helped manage its burgeoning business on a firm technology platform for more than a decade, supporting its outstanding market reputation.
Now we are collaborating to deliver the company's ambitious plans for future success – leveraging CSC knowledge of the international insurance world, and deploying CSC innovation to exploit new business as it emerges.Proven and Secure
This reinsurer has built its global enterprise through careful acquisitions, while managing its operations with cool efficiency.
CSC provides the SICS core reinsurance solution as the single tool for its reinsurance professionals worldwide. SICS drives common processes and efficiency across the company – from marketing, underwriting and claims to actuarial activity and technical accounting. User satisfaction is consistently high.Integration Expertise
CSC's SICS solution was chosen for two reasons. First, SICS is the world's leading software for insurance and reinsurance, so it is strongly endorsed by the industry. Secondly, the reinsurer was impressed by CSC's reputation for integration expertise, which was vital for the company because of its acquisitions strategy. Implementing common systems in acquired companies is very challenging. It requires hundreds of thousands of data files to be converted and migrated from legacy applications. Multiple processes have to be refined and architecture issues resolved.
CSC has deployed its skilled teams of technical and business analysts all over the world to support this client for more than 10 years, using its proven implementation methodologies and experience. Each implementation has been completed smoothly for the subsidiary businesses involved. SICS has been integrated non-disruptively with each business system. We have proved our flexibility, too. SICS can manage direct insurance in the same way as indirect business – unlike other insurance administration systems. So an acquired company with a direct insurance book can simply 'plug in' to SICS, avoiding costs of licensing, supporting and maintaining a separate system.Enduring Relationship
The reinsurer's business continues to directly benefit from CSC's support in delivering significant efficiency savings and improving the way it assesses its market opportunities. In addition, the relationship is adding more value as it starts to use a much wider range of CSC expertise:
- CSC's Web service capabilities are increasingly important in meeting the reinsurer's changing requirements for electronic data interchange in some key markets.
- Innovative solutions are being provided in comprehensive desktop support, document management, data warehousing and reporting.
- CSC's nearshore and offshore capabilities in manual and automated testing look increasingly attractive to supplement in-house technology support.
- Honing the enterprise's information strategy is fundamental: providing active management of business intelligence – a vital weapon for modeling and analysing risk, and driving future competitive edge.

Rumour-mongers have made much of his refusal to deny stories of bisexuality, and last year he gave a rare interview about the death of Anselmo Feleppa, the great love of his life.
But he has never said whether he is gay or not. "If people look at me and they think I'm a gay man - fine. If they look at me and think I'm straight - that's fine, too. It makes no difference," he said in 1993.
He met Feleppa at the Rock In Rio Festival in 1991 when Feleppa, a dress designer and huge fan, went to watch him perform. Their friendship quickly developed, but tragically Feleppa died two years later at the age of 33.
"Anyone who knew me before I met Anselmo would tell you that he opened me up completely - just in allowing myself to trust my intuition," Michael has said. "I didn't really know how to enjoy myself before I met Anselmo. I learnt to travel more, to experience new things - and not only with him."
In 1994, Michael summed up his feelings in the song "Jesus To A Child" with the lyrics: "Heaven sent and heaven stole". It was part of the album Older, which Michael dedicated to his lost love. It was the first song he had written for three years following a highly publicised court case with Sony.
He had accused the corporation of using artists like computer software and being interested only in profit. In 1992, he took the company to court to try and free himself from a contract which he signed as a teenager and which would have bound him until 2003. He described their relationship as "this arranged marriage" and said "divorce" from his contract was the only solution.
He lost. But last year he was bought from Sony by a new media conglomerate called Dreamworks, founded by the film director, Steven Spielberg, and the music mogul David Geffen. They paid Sony $40m. Michael received another $10m and a much-improved royalty rate.
It is a far cry from Finchley, north London, where Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou, the spotty, overweight son of a Greek Cypriot restaurant owner, was born in 1963. When Michael was 12 his parents moved out to Hertfordshire and he met Andrew Ridgeley. Soon they were bunking off school to busk in London. In 1979, they formed a ska band called The Executive but after a dozen tiny concerts they folded. In 1981, he and Ridgeley sent a demo tape to Innervision, a small subsidiary of CBS. They signed a contract allowing them tiny royalties and the following year had their first hit "Young Guns (Go For It)". A string of hits followed, but soon Michael was tiring of Wham! and the band split in 1986 when Michael was 23.
He wanted to be a "craftsman" and for as long as his idea of good songwriting coincided with Sony's commercial imperatives, all was well.
Then the arguments began and Michael stopped writing and retreated to his Hampstead home. With the death of Feleppa, whom he said "broke down my reserve", perhaps he is finally ready to let down his barriers and tell the world who he really is.
In 1979 he changed his name to George Michael. "I have never felt any ethnic connection between the Greeks and me other than how hairy I am," he said.
In January 1996, "Careless Whisper" came top in a poll of listeners' favourite songs conducted by London's Capital Radio as it had done so for seven of the previous 10 years. Michael scribbled an early version of the song on a bus when he was working as a DJ in Bushey
Twelve years after the end of Wham!, Michael looks back on his time with the band as the happiest years of his life. "When I listen to our records I hear two young men who are having the best time they would ever have. It's amazing - the joy in it, the spirit of it. "I listen to myself singing in Wham! and I think - who is that person? And I know who he is, and I know who those two boys are - two kids at the top of a dream."
