An audit by the Government Accountability Office of the Securities and Exchanges Commission's Investor Protection Fund financial statements for fiscal years 2011 and 2012 found two areas of significant deficiency in the SEC's internal controls.
The GAO said in a report released Friday that the "significant control deficiencies may adversely affect the accuracy and completeness of information used and reported by SEC's management." As a result, the GAO made nine new recommendations to address these significant internal control deficiencies.
In addition to the two significant deficiencies, the GAO's financial audit for fiscal 2012 identified a number of other deficiencies in the SEC's internal control over financial reporting. While these were not considered material weaknesses or significant deficiencies, the GAO cautioned that they nonetheless warrant the attention of SEC management. The deficiencies related to the SEC's review and monitoring of disgorgement and penalty transactions, supervisory review and monitoring procedures over manual journal entries, the accounts payable accrual methodology, and information security.
In a follow-up on the status of internal control recommendations made in prior audits of the SEC, the GAO found that the SEC took action to fully address 25 of the GAO's 47 prior recommendations, as of the conclusion of the GAO's fiscal year 2012 audit of the SEC.
In response to the report, SEC chair Elisse Walter said she was pleased that the GAO found the SEC again had "no material weaknesses in its financial controls audit for 2012. However, she acknowledged that there were two "significant deficiency areas," which the SEC plans to address, along with the other deficiencies.
"As your draft report noted, our internal control structure continues to warrant additional improvements, particularly in the two significant deficiency areas of budgetary resources and property and equipment transactions," she wrote. "Continued improvement in these areas is a top priority of the SEC. While we have made significant strides in the SEC's multi-year path towards a strong, sustainable internal control posture, the agency will continue to dedicate its energy towards remediating our remaining deficiencies."
Those efforts include strengthening the SEC's process for de-obligating funds from completed contracts and ensuring the SEC incorporates appropriate accounting adjustments for these amounts; improving controls over the review of property transactions and formalizing the process for conducting the physical inventory of plant and equipment; further enhancing the policies and procedures around accounting for disgorgement, post-judgment interest and penalty transactions; enhancing controls around the review and monitoring of manual journal entries; and augmenting control procedures over the SEC's information security.

Seven SEO tips for small businesses
If you are a small business, finding time to keep up with SEO can be tricky. To simplify matters, here are seven SEO tips you should follow.
- Quality matters
When thinking about SEO, always prioritise quality over quantity, whether creating content or building links. According to the Content Marketing Institute, search engines are getting smarter at sniffing out bad content; therefore, the quality is very important to search rankings.
- Engaging content
Quality is not the only vital attribute that your content needs if you want to win at SEO – it must also be engaging, relevant and useful to your audience. Use your insights and expertise to solve user problems or offer important advice and information.
- Hire SEO experts
Many small businesses do not fully understand what is required from SEO and may waste time obsessing with the basics. Getting the basics right is important, of course, but SEO is much more than optimising title tags or site structure. Save time and hone your SEO strategies by hiring an expert such as http://www.rycomarketing.ie/seo-dublin-seo-ireland.html, which offers SEO in Dublin and elsewhere.
- Build a community
Creating an online community on your site can be useful to bolster your SEO as a …

I've been reading (and listening to) a fair amount of Derek Sivers recently, and he gave me permission to launch a new blog post series I've been contemplating. I'm starting the series for my own purposes, as beyond me it will probably have all the appeal of a snow cone stand in Siberia.
I thought it would be fun – even if it's only fun for me – to give a behind-the-scenes view on the creation of some of the things I write. I won't do it for every post, but there are a few where I enjoy reliving the journey from concept to final product. This particular one follows the actual post directly (or fairly close), but moving forward I'll probably reach back a few posts or more to tell the story. Due to the nature of this series, the writing will be a lot more casual and "stream of consciousness" than my normal posts. (This is where the savvy reader thinks and that's different how, exactly?)

Hansaplast - Hearts
Hansaplast, the global plaster brand, created a new type of plaster – called Hearts – to help parents the "five main little heartaches" of children. Along with each of the five Heart designs, comes a specific heartwarming story (developed with child psychologist) – all intended to stop tears, while also allowing parents and children to start a conversation about their little heartaches. This new product was developed to emotionalize a rather functional brand like Hansaplast, and to win over the hearts of its main target audience.

Sandy's gone now. These last days have been strange; a lot of the things that I equate with a trip to New York have been unavailable so I've had to do with other activities. I've been jogging up and down the East River sidewalk. Buying books at Barnes & Noble on 5th Avenue, the closest one that was left with power after the hurricane. The upper neighborhoods of the city are filled with hipster refugees from Soho and Tribeca, charging their IPhones and laptops in every available plug in coffee shops and salad bars.
Even though they're on higher ground, the main museums are closed which sent me hunting for more exotic cultural prey like the American Folk Art Museum or the Museum of Arts and Design just to find that these are closed to.
Downtown is Ghostown.
In the continuum of lawns and pretty wooden houses that is the New Jersey I spent the first years of my life in, the TV shows something that looks more like New Orleans where I've never been. Sandy, with her suburbian name, tropicalized us.
Past visions of the future are obsessively focused on the space above our heads. They seem to assume that there is further freedom, more comfort in ignoring this outdated level called "ground", in favor of a life lived in the air.
While Sandy was in town, the ground wasn't the best place to be in, but neither was a flimsy aircraft. There is a positive conflict between the elements that is the basis for the art of building. Like in the tale of the Three Little Pigs, when someone or something comes huffing and puffing, it's the brick house you want to be in.
Even though NY is one of the "airiest" cities existing, things are still not upside down. A tall building is still a building characterized by a certain distance from the ground, with its lifeline connected down to the floor like a balloon tied around a child's wrist. A building is a tree, not a cloud (?). Concrete jungle after all.
Mayor Bloomberg announced today that he endorses President Obama's bid because he has the best record on climate change. Apparently he's better at keeping the air cooler.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The Kansas City Royals held on to beat the San Francisco Giants 3-2 and grab control of the World Series on Friday.
Unbeaten through the post-season until they lost the first game of the World Series at home on Tuesday, the Royals have produced back-to-back victories to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
The Giants, chasing a third World Series title since 2010, fell behind 1-0 in the first inning and never recovered.
Alex Gordon, Lorenzo Cain and Eric Hosmer all drove in a run for the Royals while closer Greg Holland came on in the ninth to collect his seventh save of the post-season.
Game Four is set for AT&T Park on Saturday.

I work in a place with normally shady cell coverage. However, I was able to get two bars in a stairwell and had a decent ping rate during the game. At lunch, I was getting 2-3 bars with a red ping. Later in the evening I sometimes get a green light in places that were not working during the day. But the reception is the same.

Mysore Ashtanga Self Practice
What is Ashtanga Mysore style self practice?
'Mysore style' has come to mean the way in which Guruji (the late Sri K Pattabhi Jois) taught Ashtanga Yoga - the system of asana he refined with his teacher, Sri Krishnamacharya.
They taught 'self-practice style' whereby each student is initially shown a small portion of the sequence, and as they are ready they are given one new posture at a time to build up their practice.
Do I have to know the Ashtanga sequence in advance?
No! You don't have to know any of the sequence before you come. In your first session you will be shown the two sun salutations and the first few postures of the standing sequence. When your body is comfortable with those postures and you can remember them, the teacher will gradually show you more postures.
Who is Ashtanga Mysore style suitable for?
Anyone can attend Mysore. As this is not a led class, familiarity with the Primary Series of Ashtanga yoga is not a prerequisite—if you are new to Mysore, you are very welcome to come and our teachers will assist you in starting self practice. On the first Monday of the month at our Islington centre, our teachers provide extra support for those beginners that drop in.
When do Mysore style classes take place?
Classes take place every morning at our Notting Hill centre and every weekday morning at Islington (except for on Moon Days that fall on weekdays).
Browse our online class schedule for up-to-date class timings.
Please note: you are welcome to drop in at any point during the scheduled class hours.
At Islington we run a Led Primary Series class every Friday at 6.45 - 8.15. This replaces the usual Mysore self practice on that day.
At Notting Hill we run a Led Primary Series class on the first Friday of the month at 6.30 - 8.00. This replaces the usual Mysore self practice on that day and is not suitable for beginners to Ashtanga.
On the first Monday of the month at our Islington centre, we provide extra support for those beginners that drop in.
Ashtanga Mysore style teachers
Mysore style classes are taught by Gonzalo Bustos Turu and Phillipa Gendall at Notting Hill, and by Netta Imber and Ruth Westoby at Islington.

Are you going to have to pay for BBC's iPlayer?
The BBC's iPlayer is great isn't it? All those TV shows, just sat there waiting to be watched and caught-up with. For a week. And at a set-volume if you're using the PS3 app. But still, pretty great. The volume goes up to 11 you know?
God bless the BBC.
But wait! What's this? The notion that we'll have to pay to use it is being floated around? REALLY?
The BBC are currently playing down the idea that the catch-up TV iPlayer will start charging in the UK. Reports have been suggesting that the BBC have been looking at a pay-per-view model, but it appears that this may only be the case for shows that have passed the seven-day window.
"We never stop future-gazing at the BBC and there are always a number of new ideas under discussion," the BBC said in a statement. "Any such ideas would need to be developed in conjunction with the industry and with rights-holders and they would certainly not lead to a two-tier licence fee."
The idea is that, Auntie Beeb could ask for payment on archived shows with a model that would unlock "80 years of history." That basically means you can watch old episodes of the Old Grey Whistle Test or old news bulletins and the like via a micropayment.
Doesn't seem so bad now.

- DickIf it is available on iplayer and free, I will use iplayer. Otherwise, I will torrent it. I'm not paying to watch stuff that has been on TV.
- Tweedskin"future-gazing"?! Cunts.
- MI don't see we should be paying for the BBC's programming twice.. Perhaps if they dropped wastes of licence fee/airtime like Top Gear for example..
- Mike H.Too fucking right you should you free-loading, iPad-toting, shit-stabbing, BMW/Audi-driving, shirt-lifting, tea-bagging, wine-quaffing, cheese-loving, teeth-sucking, plimsole-wearing, facebook-using TWAT! Why the fuck, should the licence payer have to prop up iPlayer? I pay £145 for my licence, and for what? Dowturn fucking Abbey! COUGH UP CHAV!
- bobDownton Abbey is on ITV.
- Johnny B.Bloody hell Mike Hock...are you on your period or something? Haha
- Mad H.(1) Downton Abbey is on ITV, and (2) plenty of people already pay for BBC content twice in the form of license fees and DVD boxsets. If there's a choice between watching series 1 of Sherlock for, say, 50p an episode via iPlayer or buying the DVDs, what would you choose?
- AlexisIt should be free. It's been paid for once by the general public. It's not their fault the tapes just happen to live on a dusty shelf somewhere. Converting everything to digital doesn't seem to be a problem if they fancy sticking it on a DVD to offer for sale. They need to get with the times and just accept as a media company, they need to continue embracing digital. Make us some money out of it by just charging other countries if they want to watch. They already have a paid iplayer service for those abroad. Make more money out of it by offering vintage stuff, but make it free for UK residents.
- Mr. P.Paying for a TV licence? How quaint.
- TimWe pay for archive shows on DVD. I'd be happy to pay for decent quality approved downloads for shows the BBC and Dave never bother repeating, so long as the price is less than a DVD and I can keep it forever. It's about time we kill optical media. Broadband speeds are up to the job now. Price needs to be right though. That's why I still buy CDs and rip them myself to Flac to put on my NAS. CDs are generally cheaper than (legal) downloads!
- blablablaThis article is nonsense. The "iPlayer" catchup service is NOT being considered to move to a pay model whatsoever. What is being considered is charging a fee to access the BBC's archive and back catalogue on a not for profit basis. Your TV Licence entitles you to receive live broadcast TV. Nothing more, nothing less. The government then pass that on to the BBC, S4C and fund rural broadband. The BBC allow you to catch up online via iPlayer for 7 days from initial broadcast, even for those who pay no licence fee in the first place. 7 days is all they were allowed to offer thanks to the whinging commercial broadcasters who themselves offer around 30 days viewing. After that, why should the archive programming, alot of which the BBC do not own the full rights to, be offered for free? Do people expect to get free copies of BBC DVD's because they paid a licence fee 20 years ago to watch them then? Of course not! Its would be a nonsense to suggest the BBC gives away, for example, Only Fools And Horses when it sells incredibly well and brings in money to the BBC via DVD sales and repeats on the UKTV family of channels.
- callumThere is no logic in the notion that because you pay for a license fee you should never have to pay anything to the BBC ever again. If the BBC want to start charging you to watch BBC1 then yes, by all means complain. But a pay-per-view premium iPlayer service is no different to them making money from their various magazines, DVD sets, films and various toys etc.
- Alexis"Your TV Licence entitles you to receive live broadcast TV. Nothing more, nothing less. " Entitlement isn't the same as what it pays for though (otherwise the money would just go to maintain the masts and broadcast signals).
- Mr M.Broadband speeds might be up to the job, download limits are no where near unfortunately.
- LDStrikes me they're is/be hardly anything worth watching live, therefore no need for a £145+ licence.
- kevehMeh, I'd happily pay for the iPlayer as it stands.
- SicknoteIplayer is a massive draw on the BBC in terms of management, development and running costs; that's what needs paying for.
- ShakesHeadSadlyI'd like the option. Personally, I can't remember the last time I watched something "live" on TV, but use the catchup services all the time. Can I just pay for that and not pay the licence fee? Please?
- Philip L.I agree with the idea that after the 7 days are up, it goes in the archive on a pay for basis until it is repeated on a BBC channel... which kind of begs the question, won't that give an incentive to never repeat content?
- Ryan M.It's simple - these programs have already been paid for many times over by the British public so you shouldn't have to pay. Also, you shouldn't have to pay a TV licence just because you CAN receive BBC programs on your TV even if you don't really want to - also, with the all the recent shit concerning biased news reporting & long time associations with massive paedophile rings, I don't think we should be giving these fuckers any money whatsoever. I'm gonna torrent what I want & I doubt I'll be paying my licence next year.

What to CookEgg
Sardou-Inspired Eggs
Each Thursday, Emily Vikre (a.k.a fiveandspice) will be sharing a new way to love breakfast -- because breakfast isn't just the most important meal of the day. It's also the most awesome.
Today: All the creamy, green, artichoke-y goodness of eggs Sardou -- for a weekday morning.
One of the first recipes I ever tested on Food52 was for a variation of eggs Sardou. I remember carefully cooking and assembling what felt like a kajillion components and thinking to myself as I ate it, "Dang this is delicious! But next time I'm going to make it after I've had more coffee and something to eat first."
A couple days ago, upon a little scrutiny, I discovered that my refrigerator had almost nothing to eat other than eggs and artichoke hearts. I was going to just make eggs with artichoke hearts, when I remembered eggs Sardou, and I looked it up again to see what it would take to make it. In classic New Orleans-style fashion, the original eggs Sardou actually has not just a kajillion but a kajillion and five components, all of them fabulously rich. There are the artichokes, but there's also creamed spinach, anchovies, ham, fried asparagus, and poached eggs, all smothered in Hollandaise.
Given the sad state of my fridge, I knew I wasn't anywhere near making actual eggs Sardou. But, I did have anchovies plus a handful of baby kale and the bottom of a carton of cream. I took those Sardou-inspired ingredients and baked them into an egg en cocotte atop garlicky, anchovy-y greens and artichokes. Though not quite so fabulous as the original, it was still delicious.
Serves 1
1 oil-packed anchovy fillet
1/2 small clove garlic
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups spinach leaves (or chopped kale or chard)
2 artichoke hearts, halved (canned, frozen, or fresh ones you cooked yourself)
Salt and pepper
1 large egg
1/2 tablespoon heavy cream
1 pinch sweet paprika
1 pinch cayenne
1 teaspoon shredded Parmesan

Second season debuts October 9 on the CW
It was announced yesterday that Fox has picked up the movie rights to Image Comics series "Who is Jake Ellis?" and has tapped "Harry Potter" director David Yates to helm the picture. The original comic (and its sequel, "Where is Jake Ellis?") was written by Nathan Edmondson with art by Tonci Zonjic, and centered around Jon Moore — a man whose ghostly companion Jake Ellis assists him in becoming the best criminal in the world. When a job goes horribly wrong, Moore must go back to the facility where he was once held to uncover the truth about his imprisonment.
"Criminal" got a director in Kim Jee-Woon recently, and creator Ed Brubaker spoke with MTV about the decision to bring the acclaimed director onboard.
"My first reaction was shock because I love his work," Brubaker told MTV. "When [producers] Jamie [Patricof] and Lynette [Howell] sent me a short list of directors and I saw his name on it, I had to double-check he was really interested. Anyone who saw 'A Bittersweet Life' will know exactly why he's right for this movie."

Survivor since 1998…Crystal clear and hard to comprehend. Suddenly, all that mattered following my first diagnosis with Breast Cancer, at 34, was living. Living for my family and my dream of marriage and children. Yet, walking across a field looking at Boulder's Flatirons, it was hard to believe that there was a chance I might not be able to see these slanted rocks in a few months or years, that I might not realize this dream that I was so close to.Then there are the gifts of cancer: The chance to live everyday as if it could be your last. You don't have to try too hard to do that once you are faced with your own mortality. There is the outpouring of love and support. A life threatening illness unleashes everyone's inhibitions and they don't hesitate to hold you in their arms, tell you how much they love you, visit you, prepare meals for you, call you. People you don't even know, other survivors, are on the phone lending their support. Word spreads fast. The treatment and the healing begins.There is also the gift of medicine and doctors who care so much that they are willing to take a chance on saving, as well as losing, their patients. There are second and third chances. There are dreams come true and prayers answered. I did survive my first diagnosis with cancer and two years later I married my husband Marshall. Carter, who is now six, was a honeymoon baby. John, who is now four, was born 2 years later. Both are miracle babies since they followed intensive chemotherapy.Shortly after John was born I was diagnosed a second time with Breast Cancer. I was 40 years old this time. Twice by 40. Just when I was beginning to hope that I didn't have to worry too much about it. I survived the second time too. Once again, all the gifts were there especially the love of my husband, children, parents, brothers, sister and friends. Intensity and desperation were there as well. Now, I knew what I had to live for and what I could lose. There was faith and hope and there still is. Hope and faith in family, in God's love. Faith in community and hope that there will be a cure for all cancers. Hope that I will live long enough to see my children grow up.I still look at our beautiful mountains and the Flatirons and wonder how long I have to look at them. I still hold my husband and children, watch them play and sleep, and wonder how long I have to hold them and to look at them. I hope it's a long time but if it's not I am so grateful to have had the time I have had.

LONDON, August 19, 2018 (News Wires) - Jurgen Klopp has warned Liverpool to beware of the threat posed by Christian Benteke when the title challengers face their former striker at Crystal Palace Monday.
Klopp's side underlined their credentials as serious contenders for the Premier League crown with an eye-catching 4-0 demolition of West Ham last weekend.
It was the perfect way for Liverpool to kick off their bid to dethrone champions Manchester City following Klopp's £160 million close-season spending spree.
But Liverpool, who last won the English title in 1990, will have to surmount a wide variety of obstacles before they can finally get their hands on the trophy.
And Reds boss Klopp believes an unheralded but potentially dangerous opponent lies in wait at Selhurst Park.
Palace have a habit of unsettling supposed superior teams who visit south London and the muscular presence of Belgian striker Benteke is part of that threat.
Klopp inherited Benteke when he arrived at Anfield in 2015 but struggled to find a place for the big striker and allowed him to join Palace after just a year on Merseyside.
The 27-year-old led the Palace attack in their 2-0 win at Fulham on the opening day of the season, sparking memories for Klopp of the day his brace beat Liverpool at Anfield in April 2017.
"Everybody who thinks about writing Benteke off makes a big mistake, because his obvious skills are always there," Klopp said.
"Even if he didn't score too often last season, he always has opportunities.
"It's a big challenge to defend set-pieces when Christian is around. He will score goals this season, there's no doubt about that."
Benteke isn't the only danger in the Palace forward line and Eagles manager Roy Hodgson believes he can build the team's future around the "talismanic" Wilfried Zaha.
Ivory Coast international Zaha signed a new five-year contract with Palace this week after speculation he might join Chelsea or Tottenham.
Zaha scored as Palace beat Fulham at Craven Cottage and Hodgson has challenged his 25-year-old star to become of the best in world.
"We think very highly of him both as a person and a player, and he's got even a talismanic quality, being from this part of the world and starting his career at Crystal Palace," Hodgson said.
Admitting his coaching team had fretted around Zaha signing new terms in the off-season, Hodgson said he has challenged the former Manchester United flop to step up another level this year.
"He's very, very good; all players have got qualities of course, and there aren't many players who can literally do every single thing," Hodgson said.
"But he scores top marks in so many aspects of the game, and when it comes to dribbling and manipulating the ball and going past opponents, I put him up there with the very best.
"He did a lot for us last season with his goals and his assists and the way he played and we've tried to make it clear to him we need a lot more of that going forward."
MADRID, August 15, 2018 (News Wires) - Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos criticised Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp's poor record in finals in the latest instalment of their long-running war of words on Tuesday.
The German recently blasted Ramos for injuring Mohamed Salah and colliding with goalkeeper Loris Karius during Liverpool's 3-1 Champions League final defeat by Real in May.
Salah suffered shoulder ligament damage and left the pitch in tears with huge questions hanging over his participation at the World Cup in Russia.
It later emerged that Karius had suffered a concussion, and following the incident he made couple of blunders to concede two goals.
"It's not the first final (Klopp) has lost, he should stick to his own business," Ramos told reporters ahead of the UEFA Super Cup showdown with Europa League winners Atletico Madrid.
"Some of us have been operating at a very high level for many years, I'm not sure he can say the same."
Klopp, who described Ramos as "ruthless and brutal" has failed to win six of seven finals during his coaching career.
Ramos, meanwhile, has won four Champions Leagues, La Liga four times, the 2010 World Cup and two European Championship titles with Spain.
LONDON, August 14, 2018 (News Wires) - New Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson's commanding presence and skill on the ball is boosting the defensive players' confidence, Dutch centre-back Virgil van Dijk has said.
Brazil international Alisson made his competitive debut in Liverpool's 4-0 win over West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday and the 25-year-old impressed as he began his spell in English football with a clean sheet.
"We speak a lot. He's very vocal and that helps. It helps me and everyone in the backline. I think his presence is very good as well," Van Dijk told British media.
"He has a lot of qualities on the ball that help us playing. We've worked on it the whole pre-season and we'll keep building and practising. There's still a lot to do.
"West Ham was just one game. We can do a lot better in certain moments and it's just the start. We're trying to build something."
Liverpool's defensive solidity since Van Dijk's arrival in January has seen them keep clean sheets in their last six home league matches and the club have not conceded a league goal at Anfield since February.
LONDON, August 12, 2018 (News Wires) - Last season's Premier League top scorer Mohamed Salah was on target again as Liverpool kicked off their season in style with an easy win at home to West Ham United.
The Egyptian gave Juergen Klopp's side the lead after 19 minutes from
Andy Robertson's precise low cross.
West Ham's new manager Manuel Pellegrini gave debuts to five of their 10
close-season signings, but his revamped team rarely threatened Liverpool's
expensive new Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson.
Poor defending cost them a second goal just before the interval, to Sadio
Mane, who added a third after 53 minutes from an offside position.
Substitute Daniel Sturridge made it four just seconds after coming on.
Liverpool haven't been crowned champions of England since 1989/90 and
finished 25 points behind City last season.
But after reaching the Champions League final last season and spending
more than anyone else in the Premier League in the off-season, there is
palpable belief that near three-decade wait can come to an end in May.
Midfielder Naby Keita and Alisson were the only debutants to start from a
reported £170 million summer splurge in the transfer market as Fabinho
and Xherdan Shaqiri had to make do with a place on the bench.
However, there was little tinkering for Klopp to do up front after Salah,
Mane and Roberto Firmino combined for 91 goals last season, and they
again provided the firepower to outclass a sorry West Ham despite their
own near £100 million outlay on nine new players.
Salah and Mane's pain at international level was Liverpool's gain as early
exits at the World Cup with Egypt and Senegal meant they could join the
club's pre-season tour of the United States, unlike a host of Premier League
stars who returned to training just last week after their exertions in Russia.
A revelation in his first season at Anfield with 44 goals in all competitions,
Salah is now a marked man.
Yet, he was given the simplest of tasks to tap home the opener into an
empty net on 19 minutes from Andy Robertson's pinpoint cross after he
was freed down the left by the impressive Keita.
Salah should have had more as he was well picked out by a bursting run by
Firmino only to place his shot too close to Lukasz Fabianski, who also
made a brilliant save to turn Trent Alexander-Arnold's free-kick behind.
Fabianski was by far the busier 'keeper with Alisson making just one
comfortable save and impressing far more with his feet to launch a series of
Liverpool attacks.
LIVERPOOL, August 11, 2018 (News Wires) - Jurgen Klopp is trying to keep a lid on expectations, but ahead of the new Premier League season, Anfield is brimming with excitement that Liverpool could finally end a near three decade wait to be crowned champions of England.
Often outgunned by the riches of fierce rivals Manchester United and the oil-backed wealth of Chelsea and Manchester City in recent times, this summer Liverpool were the Premier League's biggest spenders in a reported £170 million splurge.
"We had to create a squad which is strong enough and wide enough to cope with the Premier League and to be as successful as possible," said Klopp.
The club's business was also done early to give Brazil's number one Alisson Becker and midfielders Fabinho, Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri time to bed in before their campaign kicks off at home to West Ham tomorrow.
Just as importantly, unlike Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho who were lured away from Anfield to Barcelona in recent years, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino signed new contracts as a statement of intent of what is to come for Klopp's Liverpool.
Despite not winning a trophy since the charismatic German coach took charge in 2015, the Reds are also building from position of strength.
A run to the Champions League final in May before losing out to Real Madrid showed both how far Liverpool had come in his time in charge, but also where there was room for improvement.
Two monumental errors by Loris Karius forced the club to bite the bullet and spend big for a top class goalkeeper.
The €72.5 million fee paid for Alisson was a world record for a 'keeper, but just a few weeks on seems reasonable compared to the €80 million Chelsea splashed out for the far more inexperienced Kepa Arrizabalaga from Athletic Bilbao.
Madrid also outclassed Liverpool in midfield in Kiev, as they have done to most sides in winning three straight Champions League titles thanks to the talent of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.
But the additions of Fabinho and Keita significantly improve Liverpool's quality in that area of the field and crucially fit perfectly into Klopp's high pressing system.
Despite thrashing Manchester City 5-1 over two legs in the Champions League quarter-finals, Klopp's men finished 25 points adrift of the record-breaking Premier League champions last season.
"The champions are Manchester City; they didn't lose any player and they brought in (Riyad) Mahrez, so that doesn't make them weaker," warned Klopp, insisting Liverpool are still the underdogs.
"We are still Rocky Balboa and not Ivan Drago. We are the ones who have to do more and fight more — that must be our attitude."
But with such a tight turnaround with less than a month between the World Cup final and Premier League kick-off, Klopp's preparations have also been far less affected than other sides in England's top six.
Salah and Sadio Mane were able to join the club's pre-season tour in the United States are being knocked out in the group stages in Russia with Egypt and Senegal, while Andy Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Keita, Fabinho and James Milner had the summer off.
"Liverpool have waited 28 years. Not just for the league title, but for a pre-season where so many pundits and supporters believe they can win it," wrote former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher in The Telegraph.
Even the legendary Pele jumped on the Liverpool bandwagon yesterday in support of countrymen Alisson and Firmino.
"I think it's the year of Liverpool, Alisson and Firmino!" tweeted the Brazilian great.
Liverpool have spent nearly three years surpassing expectations under Klopp. Now the pressure is on to meet them.
LONDON, August 10, 2018 (News Wires) - Liverpool's reinforced squad must build on their ruthless form from last season if they are to challenge defending Premier League champions Manchester City for the title, manager Juergen Klopp said on Friday.
Klopp has made four big money signings, adding goalkeeper Alisson, midfielders Naby Keita and Fabinho and winger Xherdan Shaqiri, giving supporters genuine optimism ahead of the new campaign.
But the German insists they are still underdogs in the battle for the league crown, saying: "We are still Rocky Balboa and not Ivan Drago.
"We have to be more consistent. More clinical. More aggressive in the right moments. We need to improve everything.
"We have to be in a championship mode. We jump into the water and we dive until we don't have oxygen anymore. That's the plan. A lot of people think because of the transfer window we will (challenge more) - but that's not how it is."
Klopp accepts the pressure ahead of Sunday's opening match against a much-changed West Ham United but said his team will also need a change in luck if they are to catch last year's runaway champions City.
"Someone gave me the unluckiest team article," Klopp added, referring to a study released this week that said Liverpool dropped the most points last season, 12, in matches affected by wrongly disallowed goals or incorrect decisions.
"You ask me about the gap with City. We had three points from City and they had three points from us. It's about losing them in other games."
Klopp said there could be further departures from Anfield, with the transfer window still open for major leagues in Spain, France, Italy and Germany.
"The window is only one way closed so we cannot buy any more but we can sell not in Premier League - but it is clear things will happen," he said.

Championships Report May 2016
The Committee met on Friday May 21st, at the office of AHSA. Present; Mrs Leonie Williamson, Mr Clint Bilson, Mr Scott Benjamin, Mr Allan Preston, Ms Karen Fletcher-Grieve, Mrs Deb Watson, Mr Richard Shipton, Ms Helen Dohan.
The championships meeting opened with a brief rundown on the Championships just gone, the proposed profit (Just waiting on some final payments to come through). The show has made a profit that will see the next years Championships with a good kick start for the show. A lot of discussion was had on things that we need to tweak for the next year's show and some of this is already underway. We also discussed ideas for next show in order to build on what we already have. It was proposed that we run a second hand gear market on one afternoon of the show and I put my hand up to organise that. We also took on board that some of the results and scoring need to be addressed for next year. We did discuss the use of the arenas and it was decided that we will endeavour to utilise the arena closer to the indoor. There was a great deal of discussion about the distance between the two rings and the time it took to get there. We also decided that the other breed shows need more time for promotion and more advertising by ourselves and the relevant societies. Overall it was a huge success and we have managed to get Scott to be on board for the next one. We requested that the JEC put forward a list of judges for next year.
We also discussed some of the issues surrounding the stabling and camping and decided that those wishing to be stabled and/or camped together would need to get together and have all the stabling and camping on one entry form. There were also issues with vans coming on site and being plugged in prior to the competitor arriving and the consequent charges. These along with other issues saw uncovered costs being forwarded to the show and measures will be put in place to prevent this in future years.
We discussed the way forward and decided that we needed to actively seeking members to join our hard-working and proactive team. Our aim is to create a world-class event run BY Australians FOR Australians. Anyone who may be interested is encouraged to contact Scott Benjamin, Leonie Williamson, the office or myself to discuss. We look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers Clint

Global Payments Signs Referral Agreement with BitPay
Aug. 7, 2014
Global Payments, an Atlanta-based payments processor yesterday announced it has partnered with BitPay, a company that enables merchants to accept bitcoin and other digital currencies, on a referral agreement. Under the agreement, if a merchant, ISO or VAR that works with Global Payments is interested in accepting bitcoin on their site or enabling another customer to do so, Global Payments will refer the inquiry to BitPay. A Global Payments spokesperson would not comment on the level of interest it has received from its merchant clients regarding accepting bitcoin, but did tell CardNotPresent.com the company does not advocate one payment type over another and needs to be able to advise clients when new ones emerge.
"This is a dynamic market and we work very hard to make sure we stay on top of market developments and changes," said Amy Corn, senior vice president of corporate communications and marketing for Global Payments. "We're a service business and we're agnostic to payment type. We believe that by offering this we can meet the needs of cross-border merchants."

Pre NBA Draft Thoughts
Tonight, the NBA will hold it's annual draft. You can catch all the action on ESPN at 7pm eastern. The Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers will be the first two teams on the clock. What will they do? Some quick thoughts from our resident basketball guru.
Is this a two man draft?
Brandon Ingram and Ben Simmons are the two big names on the draft board and teams in the lottery were all clamoring for them. However, there is talent to be found beyond them. Jamal Murray can step in and be an impact scorer immediately and guys like Buddy Hield and Kris Dunn can make an immediate impact as well. Simmons and Ingram will still both need some time and development.
Will Boston move their pick?
There has been speculation that Boston will try and move their third overall pick for a veteran, but it doesn't seem like that is getting much traction. Look for them to draft Kris Dunn or Jaylen Brown.
Who will be the rookie of the year?
My money is on Jamal Murray from Kentucky. He's a guy that's going to come in and make an immediate impact as a scorer. He also has some versatility and can handle the ball. There are questions about his overall athleticism, but we've seen with other players that doesn't always matter.

I purchased fresh dough from the local supermarket bakery department and was able to get 16 "bites" out of their "one pizza" amount.
Leftovers heat nicely in the microwave the next day too!
(printable recipe)
½ batch pizza dough (enough for 1 pizza)
4 oz. mozzarella cheese, cubed (about 20-24 pieces)
Sliced pepperoni
For topping:
Olive oil
Italian seasoning
Grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate or cake pan. Divide the pizza dough into 20-24 roughly equal sized pieces. Take one of the dough pieces, top with a cube of cheese and a slice or two of pepperoni. Pull the edges of the dough around the fillings and pinch closed. Place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.
Lightly brush the tops of the dough balls with olive oil. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Serve warm, with dipping sauce as desired.

New York's largest housing finance agencies plan to sell more than $1 billion of bonds to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae this month under a new federal program aimed at giving a shot in the arm to HFAs.
With the new-issue bond program (NIBP), announced in October, HFAs (Housing Finance Agency) across the country can sell an aggregate of $18.6 billion of bonds that will get some support from the U.S. Treasury.
"It's just amazing that we've been able to move through a very complicated program in a very short period of time," said John Murphy, executive director of the National Association of Local Housing Finance Agencies. "It's a much needed program and we're doing our best to see that there is broad participation."
The program is intended to jump start the market for housing bonds that fell apart after the housing bubble burst and the country entered recession. Issuers have sold $8.76 billion of housing bonds in 2009 so far, compared to $17.84 billion last year and $30.66 billion in 2007, according to Thomson Reuters.
The biggest drop was in single-family housing bond issuance, which has fallen to $5.37 billion this year compared to $12.59 billion last year and $25.1 billion in 2007.
The wrinkle in the program is that the bonds have to be sold by the end of the year so many HFAs, such as the New York agencies, are planning to sell bonds as taxable debt by then and put the proceeds in escrow until they are ready to use the funds and can convert the debt by issuing tax-exempt bonds. After purchasing the bonds, Freddie and Fannie in turn sell the bonds to the Treasury.
One issuer in the Northeast sold a mix of tax-exempt bonds and escrow bonds under the program. Last month, the Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corp. sold $30 million of tax-exempt bonds to public investors to finance mortgages and home repair loans for low and moderate income families, as well as to buy mortgages from participating lenders.
At the same time, the agency is placing $45 million of tax-exempt term bonds with Fannie and Freddie and also selling them $83 million of taxable variable-rate bonds that will be put into escrow. The issuer increased the escrow amount from $57 million by transferring an allocation for multifamily homes to single-family homes. The deal will close on Dec. 23.
New York City Housing Development Corp. (HDC) plans to sell about $500 million of bonds under the program on its open resolution for multifamily housing. The bonds will be sold as a subordinate pledge to segregate the NIBP bonds from the issuer's other bonds. The HDC will use the bond proceeds to finance multifamily affordable housing projects.
The State of New York Mortgage Agency plans to sell $389.1 million of bonds for single-family mortgages for first time home buyers and the New York State Housing Finance Agency plans to sell $276.1 million for multifamily affordable housing.
The escrow bonds will bear a variable rate equal to 28-day Treasurys. The issuers will invest the escrowed proceeds in short-term Treasuries, which is expected to create minimal, if any, negative arbitrage.
When issuers need to use the funds to purchase mortgages, the agencies will refinance the bonds and convert them to long-term, tax-exempt bonds. Escrowed bonds can be released three times. They have until the end of 2010 to refinance the bonds.
The rate structure under the program will lower borrowing cost by 1 percentage point compared to selling them on the open market, according to an HFA estimate.
"The program bonds will be converted to tax-exempt bonds and to another interest rate mode in most likely a fixed-rate mode maturity on three separate occasions during 2010 as mortgage loans are ready to close," said Richard Froehlich, HDC executive vice president for capital markets and general counsel.
"Upon each of these conversions, a portion of the bonds will bear interest at a fixed rate equal to the 10-year constant maturity Treasury rate on a date to be determined plus 75 basis points."
The corporation could also choose to have a portion of the converted bonds bear a short-term variable rate for construction loans for 48 months that would then be converted to a fixed rate equal to the 10-year Treasury rate plus 155 basis points, Froehlich said.
When the single-family bonds are converted, the program requires that 40% have to be offered to public buyers and 60% must be issued to the government-sponsored enterprises, Freddie and Fannie.
There is no such requirement for the multifamily bonds to be refinanced with a public offering. Nonetheless, Froehlich said they expect to offer some of the converted bonds to the public, though a decision hasn't been made.
"We'll figure out what we're going to do," he said. "Right now there's so much pressure to get these issued."
There's no lack of projects that can use the proceeds. The HDC has more than $2 billion of projects in its pipeline and the HFA has approximately $900 million in its pipeline.
So far this year, the HDC has sold $951 million of bonds and State of New York Mortgage Agency (SONYMA) and HFA have sold a combined $1.38 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.
The HFA and SONYMA deals are among the last to be worked on under Priscilla Almodovar, who has been the issuers' president and chief executive officer for nearly three years. She resigned last week to pursue work in the private sector, HFA spokesman Philip Lentz said.

Experiential Learning: Beginning
Last updated on 2016-09-13
About the Book
Reader Daniel Read wrote:
"I had the pleasure of reading an early draft of this three volume book set by Jerry Weinberg called "Experiential Learning". I also have had the pleasure of attending some of Mr. Weinberg's experiential workshops. This stuff is gold. You won't find it anywhere else. I dare say it is the culmination of a life's work by someone who practically invented this approach. (A few other Weinberg books could fit that description, actually--he has several "life's works"!)" <end quote>
The second volume—Class—guides the reader in constructing and delivering classes consisting entirely (or almost entirely) of one or more experiential exercises.
Volume Three—Simulations—takes up the possibilities for longer classes and longer exercises.
Volume Four—Examples—provides a host of actual examples of simulations we've used over more than half a century.
At the beginning of our classes, we generally gather the students' hopes for what will happen as a result of the class. (You can read more about this practice in the section called Requirements Gathering.) We haven't figured out how to gather requirements from each reader of a book, but we do offer a class about experiential learning, and from these classes, we've developed some ideas of what most of our students want.
So, what can you hope to gain from reading these volumes? If your hopes for these books is similar, we've made a list of hopes distilled from these classes:
1) Learn practical knowledge about designing experiential exercises.
2) Expand my understanding of what participants experience during experiential exercises.
3) Unlearn things that interfere with effective experiential learning.
4) Help to expand my "big picture" about this topic.
5) Link to other knowledge to help increase my effectiveness.
6) Figure out if students are really learning.
We've used this list to guide us in deciding what to include, and as with any experiential exercise, this book may lead its readers to many additional lessons we never planned for them.
And, of course, a book may be an experience for a reader, but it's not what we're thinking of as an experiential exercise (though a reader may benefit greatly from trying at least some of the exercises described here) In the final analysis, a book about the effectiveness of experiential exercises may seem to be a paradox, but there's a learning there, too.
We are not claiming that experiential learning is the only way to learn. We're not even claiming that experiential exercises always teach anything worthwhile, or that students never take away erroneous or vacuous learnings. We're merely saying that we have found this approach to be one more tool for our teaching repertoire—a tool that has been strikingly effective for us as both teachers and learners. We hope it turns out that way for you, as well.

Cliff Lee Dominates Rays as Rangers Win 1st Playoff Series in Franchise History
Cliff Lee Dominates Rays as Rangers Win 1st Playoff Series in Franchise History
The Rangers scored their first three runs of the night by hustling on the base paths and 2nd-baseman Ian Kinsler added a two-run homer in the top of the ninth inning to provide a cushion.
Lee came into the game with the fifth-best post-season ERA of all time (minimum 5 starts) at 1.52 and lowered it to 1.44. He is 6-0 in 7 playoff starts in his career. The road team won every game in the series, a first in Major League history.
The Rangers will now head back to Arlington where they will host the defending champion New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series. Game 1 will be Friday night and the Rangers are expected to send C.J. Wilson out to do battle with Yankees ace C.C. Sabathia.

One of the first questions patients ask when preparing for their surgery is "When will I be able to return to work?"
Recovery for each patient is different, but, generally speaking, when having an abdominoplasty, you can expect to go back to work within two to four weeks. For breast lift surgery, you will be off work for a week. When having breast augmentation surgery, you may be able to return to work within four to seven days. Patients having a treatment of Lipodissolve, are free to return to work the same day.
All of these are guidlines, and specific times will depend on the physical demands of your job.

|[PATCH] event MPM nonblocking write completion
|Sun, 04 Sep 2005 09:55:49 GMT
I've prototyped a modification to the event MPM that uses a (mostly) nonblocking output filter in place of ap_core_output_filter(). This patch adds a new connection state, CONN_STATE_WRITE_COMPLETION. The new network-level filter, event_output_filter(), does nonblocking writes (except when it encounters a flush bucket that isn't immediately before or after an EOS or EOC). If an attempted write yields EAGAIN, the filter does a setaside of the unwritten data. If there still is unwritten data buffered in event_output_filter() upon completion of a request, the filter puts the connection in write-completion state. When the connection is in write-completion state, the main process_socket() loop in event.c runs a loop to output the remaining data. The basic logic is: while (state == CONN_STATE_WRITE_COMPLETION) { rv = event_output_filter(...); if (APR_STATUS_IS_EAGAIN(rv)) { block until writeability on client socket (or timeout); } } The event_output_filter() is responsible for changing the connection state to CONN_STATE_LINGER or CONN_STATE_CHECK_REQUEST_LINE_READABLE (depending on the keepalive settings) when all of the output has been written. Note that this patch keeps a worker thread waiting on the connection until it exits CONN_STATE_WRITE_COMPLETION. The real benefits of the nonblocking output filter will come later, when the event MPM code is enhanced to hand off the connection to the central poller thread whenever it needs to wait for writeability. I've purposely avoided making that change so far; I want to make sure the nonblocking filter design is sound before adding the complexity of truly async write completion. Known bugs: - The new filter doesn't support nonblocking reads of pipe or socket buckets. (It's functionally correct, I think, but not optimal.) - It doesn't yet support "EnableSendfile off"; and it may not even compile on platforms that don't have sendfile. - Because event_output_filter() can return APR_EAGAIN, the few things that expect it to do a blocking write--like ap_rwrite()--are broken. This could be fixed either by: 1. Changing the callers to understand an EAGAIN response, or 2. Changing event_output_filter() to return APR_SUCCESS instead of APR_EAGAIN if the connection is not in write-completion state. Next steps: I need a volunteer or two to review this patch. Given the fundamental nature of some of the design decisions involved, I'd like to get a second opinion before committing this into 2.3-dev. Thanks, Brian

Just stop your crying
It's a sign of the times
Welcome to the final show
Hope you're wearing your best clothes
This outfit is just amaaaaazing and one of my favs so far on this blog! Gosh I'm so in love with it!
And my new haircut fits perfectly to the whole "new" look!
YAS, I finally did it! I got my hair cut and got bangs! I'm so so super happy that I was brave enough…it's so much more me now!
I was always known as the girl with the beautiful long red hair; but straight long hair can look soooooo boring. I was completely browned off!
And I had the same "haircut" for about 5 years now, so it was definitely time for a lil change!
Well, it isn't a massive change, but it makes a huge difference in my opinion.
Everything looks so well together! Can you feel those 70s vibes!
Haha, it's kinda strange…who would have ever thought I'd wear light crème palazzo pants! Not me!
But hey, that's what fashion is for; to have fun, to show your inner self, to be creative and to develop.
It's so much more than just pieces of fabric.
So go out there, have fun and show the world who you are!
Lets's talk about the outfit:
I'm so in love with my newest purchase. Those amazing palazzo pants from Zara. Aren't they just perfect!
I wanted them to look kinda vintage and not that chic, so I combined them with this pretty cool crop top and my beloved bakerboy hat (it gives every look those edgy and rough vibes).
The snake print shoes are from Topshop and this beautiful bag is from Gucci.
Oh and YAS, I adore tassel earrings!

Digging Deep : Buried Landscapes of Pennsylvania
Watch some of Pennsylvania's leading archaeologists offer their views on the great depths explored by archaeology in the Keystone State.
As the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) turns 50 years old this year, it is important to recognize and celebrate the role this act, specifically Section 106, has played in American archaeology. Section 106 directs all federally-funded projects to consider the effects they may have on historic properties, including archaeological sites. Half a century of compliance with the NHPA has produced the greatest advances in our understanding of the buried past since the infancy of American archaeology in the early 19th century. This video was produced as part of the Making Archaeology Public initiative, or MAP, initiated by Dr. Lynne Sebastian, with the goal of introducing Americans to these groundbreaking archaeological discoveries. The MAP theme for Pennsylvania is "Digging Deep: Buried Landscapes of Prehistoric and Historic Pennsylvania". This video tells the story of the great depths explored by compliance archaeologists in the Keystone State, and the amazingly well preserved record of human land use they have found here. This story is a story that could never have been told without the last 50 years of compliance with the NHPA – it's a legacy all Pennsylvanians can be proud of.

Charred-Eggplant and Beef Burgers
Part lean beef, part eggplant, this low-calorie burger offers the best of all worlds. Shaving extra-sharp cheddar cheese on top makes a small amount go a long way. For the best texture, cook the burgers to medium.
- 1 medium eggplant
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 4 Ounce green-leaf lettuce
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 Tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup chopped dill pickles
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- Coarse salt
- Vegetable oil, for brushing
- 4 whole-wheat hamburger buns, split
- 14 Ounce ground chuck (95 percent lean)
- 2 Ounce extra-sharp cheddar cheese

- Cut eggplant in half, and scrape flesh into a fine sieve set over a bowl; discard skin. Let stand for 2 hours to drain. Coarsely chop eggplant.
- Stir 1/2 cup eggplant into beef; reserve remainder for another use. Divide mixture into 4 equal pieces. Shape each into a 3 1/2-inch patty (about 3/4 inch thick).
- Reheat grill to high. Grill buns, cut sides down. Brush both sides of burgers with oil, and season with salt. Grill until charred, about 4 minutes per side for medium (3 minutes per side if using a grill pan).
- Meanwhile, mix together ketchup, pickles, yogurt, and mustard. Spread some sauce onto each bun half. Top bottom buns with lettuce, tomato, then burgers. Shave cheese onto burgers using a Microplane zester. Sandwich with remaining bun halves.
Cook's Note
Drained eggplant can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Cannot day it was a perfect stay as I had to change rooms as someone was at the bed assigned to me (when changed, it was said that my name wasn't there). First room I was was terribly dirty - issue not related to cleaning staff, but by guests. - which makes me wonder why food is allowed at rooms. "

- " Hostel was very good because it had a modern and comforting atmosphere and was also connected directly to a bar downstairs where travelers could meet other travelers. The place was secure as each door in the building was equipped with a keycard activated lock. The only downside to this place is that it is a bit far from the center of Paris, so the metro or some walking is necessary. But otherwise would stay here again. "
