Banks may need a new approach to address bank regulation and regulatory reform. The sheer size and scope of regulatory change means that interim measures may no longer suffice; instead, banks may wish to initiate a robust and sustainable regulatory change management model.
Properly designed and executed, such a model may increase efficiency and ultimately serve as a source of competitive advantage. Clear definition and assignment of roles and responsibilities is essential. Banks should become more adept at processing the flow of data related to regulations and at making regulatory change management a smoothly running part of business-as-usual operations.
Global financial services firms have developed three basic models for responding to regulatory reform:
Single ownership. The end-to-end regulatory change management process is owned and managed by a single group, starting with change identification and ending with closure validation.
Fully segregated. The regulatory change management process is coordinated and facilitated by a segregated group or groups within each business or region.
Federated model. A central function acts as the starting point for regulatory management, providing support in identification and impact analysis.
Each model has advantages and disadvantages; there is no industry standard, although the federated model has certain advantages for larger and more complex organizations.
There are a number of ways to make regulatory change management part of business as usual. These include:
Establishing robust regulatory monitoring processes;
Setting up consistent processes to document hand-offs of information and ownership;
Creating a well-documented cross-function and cross-product coordination process;
Employing scalable tools and processes throughout the organization;
Dedicating appropriate, empowered regulatory change resources;
Defining roles and responsibilities to increase employee engagement;
Building the right governance structures;
Using interactive technology to support workflow and communications;
Facilitating auditable supporting documentation; and
Reviewing, revisiting and adjusting as needed.
A holistic framework — supported by empowered resources, consistent processes, and appropriate technology — can help make regulatory change management run smoothly and effectively.

This is the last episode of the alternative ending (aka TRUE ROUTE) of Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai. It will be webcasted starting from 12:00 AM Japanese time. Which means approx. 6 hours 40 minutes from the time of this post.
An overall impression thread about the alternative route (episodes 1-11 + 12 True Route + 13-14-15) will be created more or less in a week.

Talk about a great way to wrap things up. Seeing Kirino again, a huge grin was plastered on my face for the remainder of the episode. The emotional scene between her and Kyousuke was pretty strong too.

Mm... It didn't work for me. I don't know, just didn't feel anything from the episode, assuming it was supposed to be a good story.
Mainly because the climax kind of felt... rushed? Kyousuke feels lonely so he goes and drags his sister back from America. That's it. Not that exciting. Doesn't help that what fuels this last development is that punching bag's terrible obsession with his sister.
And then, at the end, there was a mysterious jump by the girls. "Yay!"...?
Overall, it was okay, but the stuff that focused on Kirino kind of felt lacking. Opinion of the general show didn't change, so no need for the next final impressions thread for me...

Seemed pretty underwhelming as an ending. Its an obvious milestone point to finish the season on... but hopefully it'll draw a green light for a second season.

After thinking about the episode some overnight, I think it actually does deflate some of the criticisms about Kirino a little bit by making her a bit more human. This is pretty typical for over-achievers -- they tend to get "promoted" above their own ability, and have to sort of "learn to fail" -- something they may never have had to come to terms with previously. I remember my own father telling me how he cruised through High School and even skipped a grade, then got advanced placement in University and almost completely bombed his first year. I felt this was pretty similar, and is a pretty important bit of character development for her. They already explained that Kirino was a hard worker... but I'm not sure that she would ever have called that "hard work"; she did what she needed to do (and often wanted to do) and success seemed to follow her. But she's actually just a small fish in a big pond; no matter how talented she may be, there are always people that much more talented than she is. So this episode's development were mostly about tempering Kirino's otherwise almost-excessive pride with humility.
It's funny because Kyousuke is so used to swallowing his pride, so when Kirino was going on about "I can't just walk away" (due mostly to not wanting to take the pride hit), that's something he really couldn't understand directly (he does practically nothing but take pride hits over the course of the show) -- he can only win Kirino over using an emotional appeal. On the other hand, Kuroneko understands pride and this situation perfectly (given her own personality, what she said about Kirino last episode, and the response to her own "failure" of a game), so the way she treated Kirino here was perfect -- she acknowledged the failure, but still gave Kirino an opportunity to regain a bit of her pride by focusing on the victory she did achieve. In other words, while Kyousuke's appeal was sort of like "your failures don't matter because I need you" (which, granted, is very flattering, though was pretty darn embarrassing for him! "Without you, I might die!" ), Kuroneko's appeal was more "yes, you failed, but you're not a failure", and shows they have a much better understanding of each other as equals. To Kirino, though, I imagine that both responses were equally important.
So despite the (rather tongue-in-cheek?) suggestions of some people above, I don't expect quite the same amount of vitriol we've seen in the past against Kirino's character (though that doesn't mean people will like the plot developments). Though Kirino is still Kirino (with all that entails), this episode mostly focuses on Kirino's many weaknesses, and how people like Kyousuke and Kuroneko have come to value her despite her flaws. If we started the show with a Kirino who was barely understandable, then the whole show is going through a process of gradually revealing and refining who Kirino is and what she's becoming. Where before we could only see the sort of blunt outline, now we're able to see a lot more detail and nuance -- not necessarily enough to make everyone like her, but enough to help people understand where she's coming from a little bit. Sort of like they're gradually chiseling away at a block of clay to eventually create a sculpture.
There's probably a whole separate conversation that could be had about the way they're developing Kuroneko and Kyousuke's "relationship" here. Mostly, it seemed to me that Kyousuke was being even more dense then ever. The insinuation of his first action was, apparently, that he was trying to give Kuroneko some space so that she can spend time with her new friend, but he sure was being hard to read and awkward. It came across rather cold, and it was only after that it made some sense (Did he have to be so cold about it? Are we supposed to interpret that as tension between them, or...?). But then to later call her to deal with his mini-meltdown... it's a really good thing that Kuroneko took the lead and set the record straight about her feelings -- that she was happy for the time she spent with him. Not to mention the "curse" (and the furious blush that followed ). It's good that at least she is (mostly) able to keep things together and give him the push he needed to do what he needed to do... but the whole time I was basically scratching my head at Kyousuke wondering he really had any clue what he was trying to do here. Maybe with this chapter closed, he'll be able to be a bit more deliberate in his actions involving her.

And actually, Kirino's "I can't just walk away" is not just from pride, but responsibility. She feels responsible to those whom she had 'beaten' in order to reach here. If she gives up, she won't be able to to face those who weren't able to make it here.
I don't know if this line was in the anime or not, but her exact words were:
Spoiler for quoted from LN as comparison?:
I'll reserve other comments/comparisons with source material until I actually have time to watch it.

To be honest, I think this sort of "responsibility to those you beat" on its own is a bit misplaced (and, on its own, a bit prideful too); as she rightfully determined, what matters isn't whether you win, it's whether you gave it your all.

And the way they animated it...seems to confirm what I think Kuroneko's intention for calling him out there was...(or, at least, makes it a possibility).
Other than that...
I guess...I'm a bit more ok with Kirino now too. Though possibly not just due to seeing her fail in this episode. And I'm fairly certain this will get a second season sometime soon. It's done far too well not to.

The Kyousuke-Kuroneko scene easily steals the episode. From the anime alone it's hard to tell whether Kirino is coming back permanently, but it seems like a natural conclusion based on the ending of the regular season.

The USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service will conduct a Request for Referendum among eligible soybean producers beginning on May 4, 2009 and continuing through May 29, 2009, to determine if producers want a referendum on the Soybean Checkoff Program. Participation is voluntary but is limited to eligible soybean producers. Only producers who want a referendum on the Soybean Checkoff Program should participate.
The federal Soybean Checkoff Act & Order automatically provides U.S. soybean farmers the opportunity to request a referendum every five years. USDA will only conduct a referendum if at least 10% of the nation's 589,182 soybean producers support the Request for Referendum. If USDA determines that at least 10% of U.S. soybean farmers have requested a referendum, then a checkoff referendum will be held within one year from the date of that determination. The last Request for Referendum occurred in 2004 and less than 1% of U.S. soybean farmers participated.
Beginning May 4 and continuing through May 29, eligible producers who want to indicate their support for a referendum may obtain a form in person at their county FSA office, or submit a request by fax or mail, or get forms online.
To be eligible to participate, producers must certify and provide documentation that they paid a soybean assessment between Jan. 1, 2007 and Dec. 31, 2008. Documentation for payment of assessment could be a sales receipt showing that the checkoff assessment was collected.
The Soybean Promotion and Research Order is authorized by the Soybean Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Act [7 U.S.C. 6301-6311]. The Act was passed as part of the 1990 Farm Bill. It authorized the establishment of a national soybean promotion, research, and consumer information program. The program became effective on July 9, 1991. Assessments began Sept. 1, 1991.

MCL sprain now cna turn to MCL tear by saturday
im sure i missed alot and might be repeating...but have you pondered Tomlin leading the Bears on. He walk up stairs! I couldnt do that when I screwed up mine..but then he is SuperPalomalu! I think he is back for the Chargers.
The way 43 started tonight he might have crushed some records. So sad its an injury that deal with his legs again. He looked lightning fast and I will pray for his speedy recovery
Ben looked great. Our passing game is something special. I think Ben is closing on league MVP this year. I know there are some good QB's out there to put up a good fight, but if we cant run the ball this team is going to average 400 yards a game passing...
Be who you are, become what you dream....
HORRIBLE play calling....I pray Troy will be ok.
Thanks Steelers086 for my awesome signature!!!
Thanks for the new avatar SteelerBee!
my take:
defense: great. secondary struggled a little after troy left but they got the job done.
passing game: good. mike wallace and limas sweed should come through big the rest of the year and help ben out..finally tall recievers?
running game: horrible. enough sad. partially on the rbs and partially on the o line. o line didnt provide big holes but willie wasnt doing a great job of looking for them either.
special teams: love love love stefan logan..great return guy. now we wont need to have our fullbacks returning punts anymore.
overall pretty good. b+. just wish we could get our running game back..

VENICE, Italy — I was pleasantly surprised the other day to find that Cardinal Angelo Scola of Venice was following me on Twitter. I began using Twitter a year and a half ago, mainly to stay in touch with friends and family, so I'm hoping the cardinal won't be disappointed to discover more about what I'm cooking for dinner than what's happening at the Vatican. (I sent him the link to our more newsy CNS Twitter account, http://twitter.com/CatholicNewsSvc.)
My surprise was also at the fact that Cardinal Scola was Twittering at all. In many ways, he strikes me as one of the least likely Twitterers in the Catholic hierarchy. He has a speaking and writing style that seems more suited to scholarly treatises than Tweets. For him, 140 characters is barely a running start.
I profiled Cardinal Scola in 2005, and made several trips to Venice to see him in action. He combines a direct pastoral style with intellectual vigor, and that's made him popular in his own patriarchate. At that time, he had just founded Oasis, a foundation and a magazine aimed at exploring religious and cultural issues — especially in places where Christians and Muslims interact.
Oasis hosted a two-day conference this week, and I made the trip to Venice after I saw the line-up of speakers and participants: some of the world's top scholars on Islam and Christianity, along with several bishops who work on the front lines of Christian-Muslim relations.
The encounter focused on how "tradition" has emerged as a crucial concept in interreligious relations, in particular the balancing of the traditions of the religious majority and religious minorities. To understand the relevance of the topic, one only has to look at today's newspaper and read about French president Nicolas Sarkozy's rejection of the burka and the face veil as a sign of women's subservience, and not a sign of religion.
Of course, these kinds of gatherings are great places to get soundings on other issues. I found participants in Venice fairly eager to talk about President Barack Obama's recent speech in Cairo, which they viewed cautiously but positively.
They were less eager to talk about Iran. There was strong sentiment in support of those working for change in Iran, at least among the Catholic prelates I spoke with. But even those who have lived and worked in Iran were hesitant to make on-the-record statements, lest the church be seen as a political actor in the current crisis. One thing most agreed on was that the public opposition to the ruling clerics was unprecedented, and that this was a good thing.

NCAA 14 First Looks at some improvements.
'NCAA Football 14': A first-look preview
Apr 3, 2013 10:00 AM
By Jon Robinson
Ive been running the virtual option since Bill Walsh College Football on the Sega Genesis. That makes me either a wishbone expert or just plain old (although Ill settle for being an old expert).
So when I got my hands on NCAA Football 14 for the first time at a special preview event in San Francisco, and some of the featured points of emphasis about the new game were all of the enhancements made to the option, I seriously spent the next 20 minutes reading the outside linebacker and either pitching the ball wide, or tucking it down and running as the Oregon Ducks. And I couldnt get enough.
And for gamers unfamiliar with how to run the various option plays, EA Sports is ready to teach you, even designating icons above certain defenders helmets to alert the offensive player about positioning, and whose movements in particular they need to read. So while running the read option to the right, the left outside linebacker will have a No. 1 over his head, and if he cuts inside, youll learn to pitch the ball to your running back. If the linebacker plays outside, then its time for the quarterback to keep the ball himself, cutting up inside the linebacker as he tries to work his way into the open field. Other plays, the linebacker will be the first read, but a defensive back will be the second read, so depending on the call, you might keep the ball when you see the linebacker get blocked, but when the safety moves up to make a play, you pitch the ball to your running back at the last second and try to work the sidelines for a long run.
Weve gone crazy overboard revamping the option game this year, said Larry Richart, NCAA 14s central game-play designer. There are 31 different option types in our game now, which include all the different veer options, shotgun full triple options, shovel options, the Pistol any type of option play you can think of. We want to teach the user what they should be doing, because if you dont know how to run the option, it can be complicated, it can be scary, and in years past, calling these plays, a lot of people didnt know when to pitch, they didnt know when to keep it, so now youre going to see the defender youre supposed to be looking at, and depending on what he does, youll either pitch it or keep it. The guys youll need to read will be indicated, and youll know the order youll need to look at them. Weve even added new animations to the defense where youll see the defender shoot out or attacking the quarterback right away, so youll know right away what hes doing in order to make the right play.
The open-field targeting of blocking receivers has also been completely revamped, so now your receivers will actually block the right players from the right position on the field, opening up new running lanes that just werent there before. Youll even see the offensive linemen making it to the second level and targeting the safeties, no longer content to simply block any player in sight.
We went through every single option play and determined who every guy should block, and who they should leave unblocked, Richart said. Weve totally revamped the logic to go with brand-new animations and plays.
The option pass has also been boosted. Where last year you had to hit A to snap the ball, then A again to bring the icons up, and by that time, your quarterback was stuck in some drop-back animation, eliminating all hope of a bubble screen and most likely leading to a sack, in NCAA 14, the option pass is now simply a play-action pass, with the game automatically going through the option fakes, allowing you to set up your passing play more quickly. And with the enhancements made to downfield blocking, the bubble screens are increasingly effective this year, as your players finally block the appropriate defenders in front of you as you take off for the first down.
Theres even a new spread option playbook available that features all of these new plays and option types. That includes more than 20 new formations and 350 new plays to go along with a skill training practice game that will have you running the option like a champ. Then again, all of these improvements also carry over to CPU teams, so get ready to give up some yards on the ground this year if youre not ready to defend all of these new option plays.
Added NCAA 14 producer Ben Haumiller: The computer is much smarter about using moves, getting to the outside, and timing the pitch.
But the improvements to the option game arent the only big additions, as NCAA Football 14 will finally reveal the enhancements made to the EA Sports Infinity physics engine. Last year, the new real-time physics system was left out of the NCAA series, angering fans who felt like it once again relegated the college game to Maddens little brother status. But with Infinity Engine 2.0 debuting in NCAA 14, fans are going to see what another full year of tweaks can add to the game play, and the difference is downright staggering (not to mention, smooth). Gone are all the problems you saw in Madden with players randomly tripping over a foot and falling down (now theyll actually step over random limbs), or teammates rolling all over each other, twisting their legs, and flipping around after the play was already blown dead.
This is a much more mature version than what you played in Madden, Richart said. But the big thing is, its physics you can play. We put a greater emphasis on the ball carrier, and now with the Infinity engine, you can really emphasize stiff-arms. In the previous version, youd run, and when you pressed the stiff-arm button, it was a dice roll whether you hit or not. This year, you can see the ball carrier really punch. We added all new animations, and now you can hit the defender in the face mask, you can hit him in the shoulder, and depending on where you hit him, youll see him react differently to the move. Also, with the Truck Stick, you dont have to worry about that silly NFL rule with the crown, and youll notice much more forceful impacts where the ball carrier can deliver the blow and youll see the defender fall back in much more natural, organic reaction.
Runners will also be able to fend off defenders, pushing and shielding their way past a would-be tackler, even if they dont smack them in the chops. Running backs will have more contextual awareness than years past, avoiding blocking linemen in a game-play tweak EA is calling ball carrier avoidance. Madden 13 suffered from running backs flying into the offensive line, then falling down because they ran into the back of their guard or tackle. In NCAA 14, the running back will stick his hand out and sidestep the blocker instead of making things easy on the defense by falling backward to the turf.
Also new is a stumble recovery system, where gamers can flick either up or down on the right stick when their ball carrier trips. Pull back on the stick, and you can try to recover and keep running, or if you feel like you might be in jeopardy of taking a vicious Hit Stick from a nearby defender, you can simply flick forward to dive ahead while protecting yourself and the ball.
Running locomotion has also been improved so direction changes will actually incorporate players making cuts as opposed to zigzagging their way down the field like past iterations. Auto sprint has also been removed in favor of an acceleration burst mechanic. So now, players wont be running at full speed at all times. Using the right trigger, youll be able to burst when you feel like you need to hit that extra gear. But its not like you can turbo your way up and down the field at no cost, as EA has also added a fatigue meter at the bottom of each player, letting you know how much energy you have on every play based on individual player ratings, and the more you do jukes, cuts and sprint, the more youll notice your meter drop dramatically.
At the end of a play, if you run out of energy, youll see it on screen in their running motion and style, added Richart. Youre basically out of gas.
For hard-core fans, EA Sports has even added the ability to call plays based on personnel. This new play-calling type is based on the number of backs, tight ends and receivers on the field, and youll now be locked into calling audibles that match your personnel (gone are the days of audibling between goal line and five wide to gain an advantage over defensive matchups by having a receiver running routes from the fullback position). This will also take away the bug NCAA has had the past couple of years, where the CPU would come out in Wildcat, then audible into shotgun and try to throw a pass while the running back is locked in playing quarterback.
But dont think all of the improvements are limited to the offensive side of the ball, as the EA Sports crew seems to watch Jadeveon Clowney hits on constant loop at the office, putting added emphasis on polygon smashing thanks to the evolution of the Infinity engine.
The new physics also come into play on defense with the Hit Stick, explained Richart. There are a lot bigger collisions in the game this year, especially when you see a bigger defender square up on a little guy. Youre going to see train wrecks out there. The Hit Stick is back. I know people have felt that it has just been OK the past few years, and it wasnt like it used to be, but with the new Infinity engine, you really feel the impact of the Hit Stick and dive tackles. Now when you dive at a runner, the force of the dive really exerts the momentum of the force, and the physics will take care of the rest.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - Two Sheridan teenagers serving life prison sentences in a 2009 home invasion killing are pointing to a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision to argue for reduced sentences. Wyatt Bear Cloud and Dharminder Vir Sen were both under age 18 when they and another teen entered Sheridan businessman Robert Ernst's home. Authorities say Sen shot and killed Ernst. All three teens were convicted of murder and received life sentences.
The U.S. Supreme Court last month threw out mandatory life in prison without parole for juvenile offenders. Sen's appeal is pending before the Wyoming Supreme Court and his lawyers have asked for permission to file new arguments there that the U.S. Supreme Court ruling should cover his case. Bear Cloud has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn his sentence.

This ad by the National Iranian American Council appeared in the Washington Post on Monday, March 5, 2012.
Retired U.S. military and intelligence leaders are leading the charge for peace, diplomacy, and dialogue between America and Iran.
On Monday, March 5, 2012, the National Iranian American Council sponsored a full-page ad in the Washington Post, signed by retired military and intelligence officials, that cautioned President Obama against a reckless war with Iran.
The ad features quotes on the futility of an Iranian strike to stop Iran's nuclear program by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, Former CENTCOM Commander General Antony Zinni (ret.), and Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael Mullen (ret.).
None of the major cable networks and news networks mentioned the ad, nor the significance that the most intelligent and experienced leaders in the U.S. military and intelligence agencies are against a war with Iran.
Lt. Col. Lawrence Wilkerson (ret.), one of the signers of the Washington Post ad, appeared on Russia Today on Monday to discuss the ad, the consequences of a military attack on Iran, and alternatives to the problem. "We need to consider this very, very deeply. It's a profound problem, we can deal with it other than through military force," said Lt. Col. Wilkerson. He also said that a military attack will unify the Iranian people, strengthen the regime, and create the opposite effect that the war hawks are aiming for.
On the same day, Alex Jones interviewed Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer about the rising tensions between the United States and Iran. Lt. Col. Shaffer said that Ron Paul's policy on Iran "are the most realistic," and that a better solution is sowing discord and division in the ranks of the elite, and driving the Iranian people against the regime. But even this solution will not work because it is based on the false premise that the Islamic Republic of Iran is a threat to the security of the Middle East and the world.
The best solution, as Ron Paul as said, is restoring economic and diplomatic ties with Iran. On March 6, Dr. Paul told CNN that the biggest threat facing America is not a nuclear Iran, but a financial crisis, saying:
"There is no evidence whatsoever that the Iranians have or are on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon, according to our own military people, our own CIA, according to the UN. So, I think it is blown way out of proportion, it's very reckless, and very dangerous. And the last thing this country needs, and our military agrees, is another war.Fear-mongering rhetoric about Iran is not based on reasonable and strategic calculations of the Iranian threat to U.S. national security interests. It is based on paranoia, political ambitions, and misplaced passion. Israel's dream of unchallenged regional supremacy is unrealizable, and counter-productive.
Yes, we can beat anybody militarily, but the military operations around the world is bankrupting this country so the greatest threat to us is a financial crisis, and this will enhance the chances of this financial crisis. Just look at what's happening to gasoline and oil prices right now. And that's going to get much worse once the bombs start dropping on Iran, whether it's Israel or the United States.
Believe me, this world is going to be in much chaotic shape, so they're worrying about something that they need not have such worries about. I don't want them to have a weapon, but I also lived through the 1960s, being in the military, being in the air force. The Soviets, a ruthless, terrible nation, we dealt with them. They had 30,000 nuclear weapons. So I think the war drums are beating much louder than they need to be. We need to defend our country, but we don't need to be the aggressor nation."
The consensus among many military and intelligence officials in the United States and Israel is that a U.S.-Israeli war with Iran will be a disaster not just for the Middle East, but for the whole world.
Retired Air Force Colonel Sam Gardiner told Democracy Now in April 2006 that a U.S. attack on Iran's nuclear facilities is not a good solution, and that "it is a path towards probably making things in the Middle East much worse. It's not a solution to either stopping the Iranians or spreading democracy in the Middle East or getting us out of Iraq. It's a path that leads to disaster in many dimensions."
Paul R Pillar, a 28-year veteran of the CIA, and one of the signers of the Washington Post ad, wrote an article called, "We Can Live with a Nuclear Iran," for The Washington Monthly that is a knockout blow to any case for war with Iran. Below are two key passages from his article:
"Throughout history, it has always been worrisome when a revolutionary regime with ruthless and lethal internal practices moves to acquire a nuclear weapon. But it is worth remembering that we have contended with far more troubling examples of this phenomenon than Iran. Millions died from forced famine and purges in Stalin's Soviet Union, and tens of millions perished during the Great Leap Forward in Mao Tse-tung's China. China's development of a nuclear weapon (it tested its first one in 1964) seemed all the more alarming at the time because of Mao's openly professed belief that his country could lose half its population in a nuclear war and still come out victorious over capitalism. But deterrence with China has endured for half a century, even during the chaos and fanaticism of Mao's Cultural Revolution. A few years after China got the bomb, Richard Nixon built his global strategy around engagement with Beijing.A U.S.-Iranian war will prove disastrous for both sides. It will progress into a state of nuclear Armageddon.
No one knows what the full ramifications of such a war with Iran would be, and that is the main problem with any proposal to use military force against the Iranian nuclear program. But the negative consequences for U.S. interests are likely to be severe. In December, Secretary Panetta identified some of those consequences when he warned of the dangers of war: increased domestic support for the Iranian regime; violent Iranian retaliation against U.S. ships and military bases; "severe" economic consequences; and, perhaps, escalation that "could consume the Middle East in a confrontation and a conflict that we would regret."
So why is the U.S. so aggressive and hostile towards Iran when it gains nothing from it? The reality is that U.S. interests are not given consideration in the centers of U.S. decision making and the White House. The U.S. is a dead nation according to the occult new world order elite in Washington and London who hijacked America, and cemented their totalitarian grip over the American people with the false flag attacks on September 11, 2001.
In the last three and a half decades, they have been secretly manufacturing a clash of civilizations involving America, Israel, and Iran in order to destroy all three countries, and bury them alongside every other sovereign country inside the political grave of a global corporate dictatorship.
They regard a Western and Zionist war against Iran and Islam as necessary for their pursuit of global depopulation goals, and the establishment of an authoritarian world government.
The angels of death in Washington couldn't care less what happens to American soldiers, the collapsing American economy, and the American people in the aftermath of a joint U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran. They want a global, post-industrial, technocratic, totalitarian police state, not a rejuvenated, resurrected, and restored American constitutional republic.
So it doesn't matter what retired U.S. military and intelligence officials say to a robotic puppet in the White House who can't make a speech without a teleprompter. The time for writing letters to our politicians in our countries ended on September 11, 2001, when they abandoned the Western public by siding with the state terrorists who engineered the events. From then on, it's been a fight for survival.
The battle lines are there for all to see. It is a war between the forces of freedom and the forces of totalitarian fascism. All of the governments of the world, especially the United States, England, and Israel, are on the side of totalitarian fascism.
The world must bring to justice the criminal fascist banks who destroyed the world economy after the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999, along with the satanic war criminals who were behind the 9/11 attacks, or else these demons from hell will occupy the planet in the name of saving it from annihilation.

The 10 Best Moments from Marvel's Phase One Movies
After much delay, Marvel's big Phase One Blu-ray set finally comes out this week. Featuring both Iron Man and Iron Man 2, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger and The Avengers itself, this box set not only brings together all of Marvel's Phase One films, but does so with the heightened style they deserve (most of them anyway -- I'm looking at you, The Incredible Hulk). To celebrate this incredible box set and the achievement found within, here are some of Marvel Phase One's best moments.
Iron Man - Heart Surgery
Iron Man's first two films are more effective at character comedy than actual action set pieces, but with character comedy this good, that could be considered a compliment.
This scene between Tony Stark and Pepper Potts says it all. It's funny, fast and illustrates their relationship perfectly. A whole movie of these two going back and forth really wouldn't be so bad. If Jon Favreau hadn't nailed this dynamic, perhaps none of these other films would have happened at all.
The Incredible Hulk - Hulk Fights Blonsky
The Incredible Hulk has kind of become the forgotten Marvel Phase One film. And with good reason: it's simply not very good. Out of all the films in the box set, this is the one most likely to become a beer coaster.
But it does have moments -- Tim Roth's fight against the Hulk being one of them. When the army comes down on Hulk on a college campus, Roth's Blonsky goes man-to-man with the creature and, thanks to a lot of sudden, unexpected flipping skills, manages to… actually, he doesn't really do anything. But he lasts a lot longer than any other regular human ever has.
Iron Man 2 - The Monaco Fight
This very brief action sequence gives us probably our best bit of Iron Man action before The Avengers' iteration of the character came along. Most of the time, Iron Man takes on other Iron Men, but here he's up against Mickey Rourke wielding electronic whips that pose a believable danger to Iron Man's suit (until they wrap around his suit and don't really do anything, that is). But on top of all that, we get some great comedy amid the battle.
Iron Man 2 - Tony Pees in His Suit
The Iron Man films have yet to fully confront Tony's drinking problem, but they have had a good time acknowledging that he has one. Iron Man 2 is especially interesting, since its plot revolves around what a jerk Tony Stark can be.
Nowhere is this better illustrated than in Stark's birthday scene, in which Tony entertains his guests by scratching records, fights Rhodes to "Another One Bites the Dust," and yes, goes to the bathroom in his suit. Who else would even think to do such a thing?
Thor - Thor Gets Mjolnir Back
Pretty much all of Thor leads up to this moment, and say what you will about the awkward Hawkeye stuff and Kenneth Branagh's over reliance on dutch angles, the moment delivers.
Down and out after sacrificing himself against Asgardian weapon the Destroyer (a robot that shoots fire, naturally), Thor finally proves his heroism and wins back Mjolnir. Not only does it give him magical powers, but it lends him a replacement superhero outfit as well.
Thor - Thor Needs a Horse
Of all the Avengers, Thor is the one with the most puffed-up self-seriousness. He is royalty, after all.
Which is why he, rather than the unassuming Captain America, provides the biggest mark for funny fish-out-of-water jokes. And on that score, even Joss Whedon couldn't top this moment. Thor struts into a pet store demanding a horse. If one is not available, he will also accept a dog or cat, so long as it is big enough to ride. The best part is, had they trotted one out, Thor wouldn't have batted an eye before mounting it and getting to business.
Captain America - The Grenade
Part of why so many people speak highly of Captain America is because the film spends so much time establishing Steve Rogers' character as a superhero at heart before turning him into a superhero for real. The best example of this comes in this scene, which convincingly illustrates Rogers' selflessness and bravery all in one go.
Captain America - Red Skull Reveals His Red Skull
Loki is fun, and Thanos will probably be pretty cool, but no Marvel villain has succeeded quite like Captain America's Red Skull.
Red Skull not only looks great and convincing, but he's played extremely well by Hugo Weaving, who uses a fun and effective Werner Herzog vocal impression to make sure we get the most evil German bang for our buck. His revelation scene stands easily among Marvel Phase One's greatest comic-to-movie achievements.
The Avengers - Puny God
The Avengers is basically a series of best moments, so picking just one or two is no easy task. But it is safe to assume they all probably belong to the Hulk.
The rag doll beat down Hulk delivers to villainous Loki in the middle of a condescending bit of pontification might have been the most talked-about moment of last summer. Both in theory and execution, it's just a perfect bit of comedy that made everyone cheer upon seeing it for the first time.
The Avengers - Hulk and Thor
And then there's Hulk's ongoing battle with Thor, which contains many moments of comic book greatness befitting a collusion between Marvel's strongest character with Marvel's strongest hammer.
We have the tense but cool bit when Thor must wait an uncomfortably long time for Mjolnir to fly into his hand. We also have the great moment where Hulk tries but cannot pick the hammer up himself. But the all-time best is this team-up near the end of the film, which terminates with Hulk smashing Thor out of frame just to be a jerk.

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Georgia Southwestern head men's golf coach Andrew Danna has accepted a similar position at Lynn University and will be leaving the Hurricane program effective Aug. 6.
"I am thankful for the opportunity (Athletic Director) Jaclyn (Donovan) gave me two years ago," Danna said. "My experiences at GSW will stay with me forever. This is where it all started for me (as a collegiate head coach)."
In the first five years of NCAA competition, Southwestern yielded one tournament victory. The 2011-12 season saw the Hurricanes win three events, have an individual appear in the program's first NCAA Tournament, earn a No. 1 national ranking in Golfstat and have two PING All-Americans and All-Peach Belt Conference selections while Danna earned PBC Coach of the Year recognition.
"I feel like we've done something special," Danna said. "The foundation is in place for the success to continue for years to come."
Beginning his professional career at the Newport Country Club in Newport, R.I., Danna returned to his hometown of Baton Rouge, La., to serve as a club instructor for player development with the junior golf program at the Santa Maria Golf Academy. He later moved on to the English Turn Country Club in New Orleans before making the move into the college ranks at GSW in 2010.
Danna becomes the third coach in Lynn history and inherits four starters from a squad which held No. 1 rankings in both Golfstat and the Nike/Golf World NCAA Division II Coaches Poll, including two-time All-American Daniel Young.
Special thanks to the Lynn University Sports Information Department for its contribution to this story.

I found it interesting when Jigsaw lost his backpack. Someone left a backpack at the same barber shop where Jigsaw was, but it was not his. As I was reading, I wondered what the backpack had to do with the missing watch. My favorite part was reading about how Jigsaw went about looking for his backpack. He became a detective by following the clues.
As I read this book, I felt I was a part of the mystery. I like a story like this that I can try to solve before the end of the book. It is one of a series of books about Jigsaw Jones. These books have all mysteries and they are all different.
I recommend this book for second grade and up. I recommend this book if you like mysteries.

Equinix Reports Selected Second Quarter 2006 Results
Foster City, CA — August 2, 2006 — Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the leading provider of network-neutral data centers and Internet exchange services, today reported selected quarterly results for the period ended June 30, 2006.
Revenues were $68.5 million for the second quarter, a 6% increase over the previous quarter and a 31% increase over the same quarter last year. Recurring revenues, consisting primarily of colocation, interconnection and managed services, were $65.1 million, a 5% increase over the previous quarter and a 32% increase over the same quarter last year. Non-recurring revenues were $3.4 million in the quarter, consisting primarily of professional services and installation fees.
"We continue to experience strong momentum across all areas of our business," said Peter Van Camp, chairman and CEO, Equinix. "With high levels of demand and a strong record of execution in completing our 2006 planned expansions, we continue to focus on the expansive opportunity ahead of us."
As previously announced by Equinix on June 12, 2006, the Audit Committee of Equinix's Board of Directors has been conducting an independent investigation of Equinix's historical stock option granting practices and related accounting with the assistance of outside legal counsel. While the Audit Committee review is ongoing, Equinix will not be able to provide detailed GAAP or non-GAAP financials for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006. Equinix intends to issue full results for the quarter as soon as practicable after the review is complete.
Also previously announced on June 12, 2006, Equinix is currently cooperating with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the SEC's informal inquiry requesting documents related to Equinix's stock option grants and practices. Equinix had also announced on June 29, 2006, that it received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California and is cooperating fully with the U.S. Attorney's Office in connection with this subpoena. The subpoena requests documents relating to Equinix's stock option grants and practices.
Although the Audit Committee review is ongoing, the Audit Committee has reached a preliminary conclusion that the actual measurement dates of certain stock option grants issued in the past differ from their recorded grant dates. Accordingly, Equinix currently believes it will record additional non-cash stock-based compensation expense but is not yet able to determine the amounts of such charges or the resulting tax and accounting impact of these actions, or which periods, if any, would require adjustment. Additionally, it is Equinix's objective to support the completion of the Audit Committee's review prior to the SEC due date for filing the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, and to file its Form 10-Q in a timely manner, including the five day extension period allowed through the filing of a Form 12b-25. However, until the Audit Committee completes its review, there can be no assurance that Equinix will not have to restate its prior financial statements or that Equinix will be able to file its Form 10-Q within the SEC's deadline.
Capital expenditures in the second quarter were $29.7 million, of which $8.9 million was attributed to ongoing capital expenditures and $20.8 million was attributed to expansion capital expenditures. In addition, the Company also purchased the previously announced Chicago IBX expansion property in the second quarter for $9.8 million, which the Company paid for in full with cash in June 2006.
As of June 30, 2006, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and investments were $147.9 million, as compared to $162.2 million in the previous quarter.
Other Company Developments & Metrics
Equinix announced it has selected the location of its planned expansion in the New York metro area. The high quality 330,000 square foot building, which is subject to additional due diligence and final lease negotiations, is in close proximity to its Secaucus, New Jersey IBX and will be built out in a phased approach. The first phase is expected to open in the second half of 2007 and will add between 1,600 to 1,800 sellable cabinets, generating approximately $40.0 million in revenues at the midpoint. The capital investment for the first phase is expected to range between $75.0 to $85.0 million, of which approximately $5.0 million is expected to be incurred in 2006.
Equinix added 63 new customers in the quarter including The Brookings Institution, Hanley Wood, Swiss Re Financial, United Stationers, VeriSign and VSNL Singapore.
Over 50 percent of Equinix's new bookings in the quarter came from existing customers including Edmunds.com, Electronic Arts, Goldman Sachs, Salesforce.com, Sony Computer Entertainment and YouTube.
Based on a total cabinet capacity of approximately 29,100, the number of cabinets billing at the end of the quarter was approximately 15,400, or 53%, up from approximately 14,750 the previous quarter. On a weighted average basis, the number of cabinets billing was approximately 15,100 representing a utilization rate of 52%.
U.S. interconnection service revenues were 21% of U.S. recurring revenues for the quarter. Interconnection services represent greater than 19% of total worldwide recurring revenues. Equinix signed additional customers on its new 10 Gigabit Ethernet service including British Telecom, Group Telecom, Server Central and Telecom Italia.
Business Outlook
Equinix will be providing full guidance for the third quarter of 2006 and the full year, as soon as practicable once the Audit Committee review is complete. For the full year of 2006, total revenues are expected to be in the range of $280.0 to $286.0 million, of which $72.0 to $73.0 million is expected in the third quarter. EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric which excludes stock-based compensation expense and other items as defined at the end of this press release, for the year is expected to be $100.0 to $104.0 million. Capital expenditures for 2006 are expected to be in a range of $180.0 to $185.0 million, comprised of approximately $30.0 million of ongoing capital expenditures, an increase of $5.0 million, and $150.0 to $155.0 million of expansion capital expenditures for the build out of the Chicago, Los Angeles and Silicon Valley expansions opened this year, as well as the greenfield build outs in the Washington, D.C., Chicago and New York metro areas.

These interconnection points facilitate the highest performance and growth of the Internet by serving as neutral and open marketplaces for Internet infrastructure services, allowing customers to expand their businesses while reducing costs.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Equinix provided selected financial information but it believes that evaluating its ongoing operating results may be difficult if limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, Equinix uses non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA, which the Company defines as income or loss from operations before depreciation, amortization, accretion, stock-based compensation expense and restructuring charges. In presenting this non-GAAP financial measure, Equinix excludes certain non-cash or non-recurring items that it believes are not good indicators of the Company's current or future operating performance. These non-cash or non-recurring items are depreciation, amortization, accretion, stock-based compensation and restructuring charges. Equinix excludes these non-cash or non-recurring items in order for Equinix's lenders, investors, and industry analysts who review and report on the Company, to better evaluate the Company's operating performance and cash spending levels relative to its industry sector and competitor base.
Equinix excludes depreciation expense as these charges primarily relate to the initial construction costs of our IBX centers and IBX expansion projects or acquired IBX centers and do not reflect our current or future cash spending levels to support our business. Our IBX centers are long-lived assets, and have an economic life greater than ten years. The construction costs of our IBX centers do not recur and future capital expenditures remain minor relative to our initial investment. This is a trend we expect to continue. In addition, depreciation is also based on the estimated useful lives of our IBX centers. These estimates could vary from actual performance of the asset, are based on historic costs incurred to build out our IBX centers, and are not indicative of current or expected future capital expenditures. Therefore, Equinix excludes depreciation from its operating results when evaluating its operations.
In addition, in presenting the non-GAAP financial measure, Equinix excludes amortization expense related to certain intangible assets, as it represents a non-cash cost that may not recur and is not a good indicator of the Company's current or future operating performance. Equinix excludes accretion expense, both as it relates to its asset retirement obligations as well as its accrued restructuring charge liabilities, as these expenses represent costs, which Equinix believes are not meaningful in evaluating the Company's current operations. Equinix excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense as it represents expense attributed to stock awards that have no current or future cash obligations. As such, we, and our investors and analysts, exclude this stock-based compensation expense when assessing the cash generating performance of our operations. The restructuring charges relate to the Company's decision to exit leases for excess space adjacent to several of our IBX centers, which we do not intend to build out now or in the future. Management believes such restructuring charges were unique costs that are not expected to recur, and consequently, does not consider these charges as a normal component of expenses related to current and ongoing operations.
Our management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider a non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, we have presented the non-GAAP financial measure to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate our operating results in a manner that focuses on what management believes to be our ongoing business operations. Management believes that the inclusion of this non-GAAP financial measure provides consistency and comparability with past reports and provides a better understanding of the overall performance of the business and its ability to perform in subsequent periods. Equinix believes that if it did not provide such non-GAAP financial information, investors would not have all the necessary data to analyze Equinix effectively.
Investors should note, however, that the non-GAAP financial measure used by Equinix may not be the same non-GAAP financial measure, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as that of other companies.
Equinix does not provide forward-looking guidance for certain financial data, such as depreciation, amortization, accretion, net income (loss) from operations, interest income, cash generated from operating activities and cash used in investing activities, and as a result, is not able to provide a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for forward-looking data. Equinix intends to calculate the various non-GAAP financial measures in future periods consistent with how it was calculated for prior periods.
Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from expectations discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the challenges of acquiring, operating and constructing IBX centers and developing, deploying and delivering Equinix services; unanticipated costs or difficulties relating to the integration of IXEurope into Equinix; a failure to receive significant revenue from customers in recently built out data centers; failure to complete any financing arrangements contemplated from time to time; competition from existing and new competitors; the ability to generate sufficient cash flow or otherwise obtain funds to repay new or outstanding indebtedness; the loss or decline in business from our key customers; the results of any litigation relating to past stock option grants and practices; and other risks described from time to time in Equinix's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In particular, see Equinix's recent quarterly and annual reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, copies of which are available upon request from Equinix. Equinix does not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking information contained in this press release.

SAN FRANCISCO — Conductor Charles Dutoit's name has become so toxic following accusations of sexual assault that Canada's national broadcaster has stopped saying his name on air when radio stations play his music.
"At this point, we are no longer crediting Mr. Dutoit as conductor," said Emma Bedard, spokeswoman for Canadian Broadcasting Corp.
Dutoit served as music director for the Montreal Symphony Orchestra from 1977-2002. He made scores of recordings with the orchestra that make up an important part of the national broadcaster's Canadian repertoire on classical music station CBC Radio Two. But the new policy applies to all CBC stations.
"CBC Radio Two is where these recordings are most often played, but our approach would be the same regardless of channel," Bedard said in emailed statements. Her comments were first reported by the Montreal Gazette.
The policy took effect after The Associated Press reported on Dec. 21 that four women, including three opera singers and an orchestra musician, accused Dutoit of sexual assault. The world-renowned conductor denied the accusations, but eight major orchestras promptly cut ties with Dutoit or distanced themselves from him.
"We began changing how we refer to these recordings at the end of December, and will continue for the time being to simply credit the Montreal Symphony Orchestra," she said.
On Thursday, the AP published a story with six new accusations of assault against Dutoit, including one musician who accused him of rape. Dutoit denied the latest accusations, saying in a statement he was "appalled and sickened" by the rape allegation which he called a "bewildering and baseless charge."

03.09.13: The CCRI Knights men's baseball team traveled to Erie, Pa to open their season versus the Lakers of Mercyhurst North East for a doubleheader on Saturday. The Knights lost both ends of the doubleheader in two pitcher's duels 2-1 and 1-0. With the two losses the Knights begin the season 0-2
Game 1
CCRI-1 Mercyhurst NE- 2
The Knights traveled to Mercyhurst Northeast of Erie, PA, for a rematch with the Lakers, last year's opponent in the Eastern Championships. Unfortunately for the team, the bats were silent and the defending Eastern Champions dropped an opening day doubleheader. Great pitching and solid defense couldn't help the Knights as the bats were silent in the double header.
Knights' sophomore Connor Gleason (North Stonington, CT) opened on the mound for CCRI, pitching three solid innings giving up one unearned run while walking three and striking out three. He gave up only one hit in his debut for the 2013 season. Rob West (East Windsor, CT) came on in relief and was the tough luck loser in the bottom of the tenth inning. He took over in the fourth inning and was pitching a perfect game through nineteen hitters before giving up a one out triple and a two out walk-off single as the Knights fell 2-1.
The Knights' offense could only muster four hits with Jake Saley (Trumbull, CT) leading-off the top of the sixth inning with a triple and Jake Tillman (Johnston, RI) followed Saley with an RBI single to tie the game. Joe Yankee (Lincoln, RI) and Jonathon Vasquez (Bridgeport, CT) picked up the only other hits for the Knights.
Game 2
CCRI- 0 Mercyhurst NE- 1
Game two was eerily similar to game one as the Knights received another brilliant pitching and defensive performance but could only muster up three scratch singles in a 1-0 loss.
Keegan Dellacona (Hyannis, MA) was a hard-luck loser in his CCRI debut as he gave up only one run and three hits over four innings while striking out two Mercyhurst batters. The bullpen came on to silence the Lakers bats but CCRI could not put together a string of hits to score some runs.
Offensively, Freshman Jonathon Vasquez had a double in the second inning, Freshman Joe Yankee added another single in the sixth inning, and Freshman Zack Wood (Jewett City, CT) was stranded on second base after a two out double in the top of the seventh.
Head Coach Ken Hopkins commented on the pitching and defense for the Knights saying they were: "Excellent and give us plenty of optimism for the remainder of the season. Once the bats come around, the Knights should be a solid team again in hopes of repeating their Eastern title."
The Knights play Mercyhurst again on Sunday at 12noon and hope to finish their opening weekend with their first victory.

Pop star Ke$ha is releasing a MTV documentary series about the "whirlwind journey" she has experienced in the last two years.
"Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life" will give fans a peek inside her life as she tours the world and records her latest album.
"You might have heard my voice on the radio, seen me onstage or in a music video, but that's only a part of the story," the singer said in a statement. "With this documentary series, I'm revealing a more complete picture of what my life is really like. It's not all glamorous, but it's all real. I want you to come on a whirlwind journey with an all-access pass to 'My Crazy Beautiful Life.' "
The fly-on-the-wall series, set to debut in April, was shot by her filmmaker brother, Lagan Sebert, who admits it was a wild roller-coaster ride following his sister's rise to the top.
"I was working as a journalist as my sister was fighting her way to the top of the charts. Journalists live and die by the story, and I soon realized that the most amazing story was happening in my own family, and it became my mission to document it," Sebert said. "I set off on a two-year-long journey to tell my sister's story."
