Considering testosterone therapy to help you feel younger and more vigorous as you age? Know the risks before you make your decision.
The promise of testosterone therapy may seem enticing, but there are a lot of misconceptions about what the treatment can and can't do for you. As you get older, testosterone therapy may sound like the ultimate anti-aging formula.
Yet the health benefits of testosterone therapy for age-related decline in testosterone aren't as clear as they may seem. Find out what's known — and not known — about testosterone therapy for normal aging.
Testosterone is a hormone produced primarily in the testicles. Testosterone helps maintain men's:
Testosterone levels generally peak during adolescence and early adulthood. As you get older, your testosterone level gradually declines — typically about 1 percent a year after age 30 or 40. It is important to determine in older men if a low testosterone level is simply due to the decline of normal aging or if it is due to a disease (hypogonadism).
Hypogonadism is a disease in which the body is unable to produce normal amounts of testosterone due to a problem with the testicles or with the pituitary gland that controls the testicles. Testosterone replacement therapy can improve the signs and symptoms of low testosterone in these men. Doctors may prescribe testosterone as injections, pellets, patches or gels.
Not necessarily. Men can experience many signs and symptoms as they age. Some may occur as a result of lower testosterone levels and can include:
Some of these signs and symptoms can be caused by various underlying factors, including medication side effects, obstructive sleep apnea, thyroid problems, diabetes and depression. It's also possible that these conditions may be the cause of low testosterone levels, and treatment of these problems may cause testosterone levels to rise. A blood test is the only way to diagnose a low testosterone level.
Testosterone therapy can help reverse the effects of hypogonadism, but it's unclear whether testosterone therapy would have any benefit for older men who are otherwise healthy.
Although some men believe that taking testosterone medications may help them feel younger and more vigorous as they age, few rigorous studies have examined testosterone therapy in men who have healthy testosterone levels. And some small studies have revealed mixed results. For example, in one study healthy men who took testosterone medications increased muscle mass but didn't gain strength.
Testosterone therapy has various risks. For example, testosterone therapy may:
In addition, testosterone therapy may impact your risk of heart disease. Research has had conflicting results, so the exact risk isn't clear yet.
If you wonder whether testosterone therapy might be right for you, talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits. Your doctor will likely measure your testosterone levels at least twice before discussing whether testosterone therapy is an option for you.
A medical condition that leads to an unusual decline in testosterone may be a reason to take supplemental testosterone. However, treating normal aging with testosterone therapy is not currently advisable.
Your doctor will also likely suggest natural ways to boost testosterone, such as losing weight and increasing muscle mass through resistance exercise.

The Golden Key to Project Profitability
Sep 27, 2012 5:00 AM PT
More companies than ever are seeking to understand project accounting costs as they realize that knowledge of this data impacts their bottom line and exposes areas where costs can be cut and profits can be made. By understanding project accounting costs, companies can discover financial problems with projects early on and fix them. This can potentially save millions of dollars. But just because companies seek to understand these costs doesn't mean they know the best way to go about finding the information.
Say, for example, that Company XYZ decides to pay more attention to project financials and discovers an out-of-control project. Maybe Company XYZ can do something about it -- like cancel the project, put different resources on it, or change the scope. Or maybe they didn't discover the problem until it was too late to save the project, because they missed some key steps.
Projects that get rescued often do so because they have accurate project accounting cost data, which allows for discovery of the problem early enough to fix it. Read on to find out how to manage your project accounting costs accurately.
1. Understand That Time Is Money
To understand project costs, you have to know who worked on the project and for how long. This is achieved through a good time-tracking system. Time-tracking data (payroll, billing, project management, and strategy) feeds a number of operations:
- Project cost accounting - How much have we spent?
- Tracking - Are we done yet?
- Management - What should we do next?
- Estimation improvement - How much is this going to cost us?
Tracking time is often viewed with a somewhat negative connotation. At best, it is a necessary, though disliked, factor in the determination of wages and billing. At worst, it is seen as a method of keeping employees under totalitarian scrutiny, a waste of time, and inefficient. However, the truth is that time tracking, when instituted properly, can have massive financial benefits for a company and for its individual employees.
2. Use Key Performance Indicators to Measure Intermittent SuccessA key performance indicator, or KPI, measures an organization's progress toward a strategic goal. When leveraged correctly, KPIs can make a huge impact. "Percentage of projects profitable" is a KPI that can really affect your business in a positive way.
As an analogy, consider British Petroleum and its experiences in drilling for oil. BP created a strategic vision for the company called "no dry holes." Drilling for oil and not finding it is expensive. Rather than try to make up for all the dry holes by finding an occasional gusher, BP decided to try to never have a dry hole in the first place. Changing the attitude that dry holes were an inevitable cost of doing business fundamentally changed its culture in very positive ways.
If you set a strategic goal for your company of "no unprofitable projects," it will change the nature of discussions in your business. For example, it empowers frontline employees to legitimately push back when a project is being taken on for political reasons. Conversely, having the attitude that the winners will make up for the losers doesn't do this.
Measuring this KPI is easy, because you can obtain direct per-project cost data from your timesheet system. Correctly applying indirect data (such as sales or accounting time) to the direct costs is a bit more complicated. Connecting all of this to revenue data gives you per-project profitability. Once you have that data, you can work on your KPI of percentage of profitable projects to try to maximize it. The formula for this KPI for a given time period (usually a quarter or a year): # of profitable projects/# of projects
3. Estimate Accurately and Adhere to Your Estimates
Many companies do a poor job of bidding projects appropriately. In order to avoid underbidding or overbidding, you can use the formula [(E-A)/E]:
E = Estimated hours to complete project
A = Actual hours used to complete project
Improving this number can be difficult for some companies until they understand a simple truth: Similar projects often have a strikingly similar ratio of early phase cost to overall project cost. The early phases of a project are usually referred to as the "requirements," "design," or "specification" phases. If after carefully tracking time on a batch of similar projects, you find that the first two phases usually take about 10 percent of the total project time, you can then use that data to predict the length of future projects.
The following diagram shows how tracking the time it takes to complete a project helps in planning future projects. By tracking time and subsequently learning that the first two phases of Projects 1 and 2 took approximately 10 percent of all project time to complete, the projected length of Project 3 becomes easy to determine. If the first two phases of Project 3 take 1.8 months to complete, you can estimate that the entire project will be completed in 18 months. This project estimation technique has proven itself to be extremely accurate for similar projects in a variety of companies.
4. Quality Data In = Quality Data Out
In order for project accounting data to be accurate, the data that is put into the system must be accurate. Employees are often resistant to the idea of tracking their time for all of their activities. This is understandable; no one has ever gotten a promotion for their exemplary ability to fill out a timesheet. However, the value of this data is tremendous if you need to look back into a project's activities or budget or timeline.
Employees need to understand that there are tangible benefits to tracking their time. Without tracking time to specific projects, it is impossible to calculate the real worth of their time and the real value of their contributions to the project. Additionally, not providing accurate time-tracking information will skew the accounting data for the entire project.
Bad project accounting leads to unnecessary overtime, stressful, blown schedules, bad estimates and canceled projects. Citing specific examples from your company's history when accurate time collection could have made things easier for your employees helps to get them on board.
Tying bonuses or other benefits to complete data collection is often used in customer relationship management tools to adjust sales commissions. The same can be done for other forms of data collection. Even if you don't like to dangle a carrot to get results, providing employees with a template for future success can prove the value of accurate time and resource tracking.
5. Limited Visibility
Any project time-tracking system that is worth its salt will be able to limit an employee or department's visibility into the project list. An employee confronted with 500 entries will usually enter bad data on a timesheet. Pushing this burden up to an administrator will vastly improve data accuracy.
You can also use this mechanism to assign people to projects, limit hours on projects, and see who has been assigned to which tasks. Timesheet systems are unlikely to be as fully functional in drawing Gantt charts as systems like Microsoft Project, but can be integrated with those systems for the departments that absolutely require it.
Time, money, and resources need to be precisely applied in order to achieve the best results in any project setting. Fortunately, the tools exist to make the determination of that amount relatively simple. This common-sense approach can make the entry and application of project data seamless and simple.

Manny Pacquiao's mom blames loss on switching religion
For the first time ever we saw Manny Pacquiao get knocked out cold, face plant and everything, thanks to a devastating overhand right from Juan Manuel Marquez in the sixth round of Saturday night's fight.
Now, if you were to ask this longtime fan of the sweet science, I could say this happened because Pacquiao is preoccupied with being a congressman and a singer, or that he's lost a step, or that Marquez simply has his number after four epic encounters.
What I can't say, however, is that God came down from Heaven and guided Marquez's fist to land flush on Pacquiao's face. Let's leave that explanation to Pacquiao's mother.
MAYWEATHER:'I feel bad' for Pacquiao
PACQUIAO-MARQUEZ V:Will it happen?
"That's what he gets for changing his religion ..." Pacquiao's mother, Mommy Dionisia, said via Inquirer Global Nation. "Since the 'Protestant' pastors came into his life, he has not focused on his boxing."
Inquirer Global Nation went on to report that Pacquiao's mother "does not approve of Pacquiao leaving the Catholic Church. She wants him to quit and become a Catholic again."
In related news, Floyd Mayweather Jr. says he will only fight Pacquiao contingent on Pacquiao taking a blood test, accepting a 55-45 split and continuing to disobey his mother.
Thanks to Deadspin for alerting us to Pacquiao's mother's absurd comments.

Tombstone Tuesday - William and Katherina Boegel
This tombstone always caught my attention when visiting St. Kilian's in Wisconsin. It's just so huge. This is my husband's side of the tree. My side, well, I have yet to come across something so grand! It's beautiful.
William and Katherina Boegel nee Melzer are my husband's 2nd great grandparents. They were the parents of at least 8 children (that I've found so far), William Jr., Maria, Katherine (Mrs. Joseph Bonlender), John, Peter, Raymond, Mary (Mrs. Gebhardt Strabel), and Theresa. John was my husband's great grandfather.
William Boegel Sr was born on December 21st 1848 in Wisconsin. The son of Henry Boegel and Herietta (maiden name unknown), he married Katherine Melzer around 1875 (still working on that marriage certificate) and died on October 21st, 1922. Katherine was born on December 12th 1846 in Germany (I know...that doesn't narrow it down by much) she died on May 24th 1927. I don't know who her parents were yet.
What I do know is that St. Kilian's cemetery in Wisconsin has been completely recorded online, and while I may have over-looked the other Melzers in there when I passed through in genealogical bliss several years back, I can easily reference the interments by going to the Campbellsport, Wisconsin website. And hey...writing this quick post did make me realize that finding relatives of Katherina (nee Melzer) may not be too difficult after all. At least I have some names as leads now.
Well, time to jump in bed and prepare for a PTA-filled day tomorrow. I need all the rest I can get for it! Have fun tending those roots!
NOTE: And after posting this and jumping to the wonderful Wisconsin Historical Society website I found the image numbers for a marriage of William Boegel and Katherine Meker. I love their website! It's now in my research calendar and when I get up to Wisconsin for Christmas I'll be copying that record!

Tooling Update
iPhone App Provides Quick, Easy Calculation of Cycle Times and Costs for Drilling Operations
Sandvik Coromant, Fair Lawn, NJ, has developed a new drilling app for iPhones, designed to offer a quick and easy for machine shops and tool and die shops to calculate cycle times and costs for all drilling and tapping operations. Of benefit to engineers, programmers and machinists alike, the Drilling Calculator App requires the input of a few simple parameters such as drill diameter, cutting speed, spindle speed and feed rate. The app then will provide machine shops not only with reliable data such as cycle times and cost per hole, but with other useful information such as ISO tolerances for bore and shaft, and links to online support via YouTube videos or the Sandvik Coromant website.
By experimenting with data, the App highlights how small changes in parameters can impact the results obtained from machines and tooling.
Available in English with metric or imperial values, the Drilling Calculator App is free and available for download from the Apple App Store. Enter 'Coromant' in the App Store search bar.Sandvik Coromant: 800/726-3845; www.sandvik.coromant.com/us

5th Nov - Blank Banners / White Flags / Armbands
As it is a global day, to get beyond V for Vendetta /masks one idea is to link it to a colour white, as a uniting emblem eg the suggestion for white as a global symbol of peace anti-war. Turkish solidarity protests recently used white and of course it is good for anti-war / imperialism.
White armbands could become a potent symbol of the movement - see eg
Two thousand years ago, a Roman Senator suggested that all slaves wear white armbands to better identify them. "No," said a wiser Senator. "If they see how many of them there are, they may revolt."
See also http://www.whiteflag.info which is a web-site written by a supporter of the Spanish indignados
Also white is the symbol of the Nigerian people's movement against Shell and other corporates plundering in the Niger Delta and also it signifies the Russian democracy movement. All colours together make white
Blank banners / placards can also symbolise a new start / blank canvas for the writing / drawing of the new society.
This is not to say we cannot call for and use flags of all colours but perhaps they should be plain (to avoid sectarian symbols etc) and perhaps with white in the majority and foregrounded ( for the above reasons as the symbol of truce between nations, peace, surrender to the power of love - while at the same time we stand, up for justice, community, freedom and dignity the world over.

So how bicycle friendly is the state of California? According to the League of American Bicyclists, it ranks 20th, just behind Indiana. Washington finished first for the fourth straight year.
This bicycle advocacy group should know. It sent out a lengthy questionnaire to state bicycle coordinators and then ranked the replies in six areas: legislation, policies and programs, infrastructure, education and encouragement, evaluation and planning, and enforcement.
No surprise here: California received an F for infrastructure, but it shared that grade with 36 other states. Our state legislature gets a gold star, receiving an A for legislation. And who says our state legislature is dysfunctional?
Washington received A or B in all categories except infrastructure, which got a D. I figure the first state that turns over all public roads to bikes will receive an A.
If you've been following bicycle issues, you won't be surprised to learn West Virginia ranked last in the League's ranking. No complaints here.
Rounding out the top 5 are Maine, Wisconsin, Minnesota and New Jersey. In the top five I've only ridden in Maine, in and around South Portland. I don't remember any issues, but note that Maine doesn't have a large population and, as a result, the residents are pretty friendly.
I'll follow up with city rankings next. Several cities in the Bay Area received favorable rankings.

One of the things I love about cooking is the prep work, getting everything chopped, minced, measured and ready to go. I still remember the first time, years ago, that I did a proper mise en place, organizing everything I would need before turning on the flame under the pan. Seeing the five or six little bowls of ingredients lined up on the counter, I could tell I had taken a step forward in my cooking.
An added bonus of doing the prep work, certainly with this dish, is all the wonderful aromas that take over. Garlic, shallot, cilantro, the lemongrass as you smash it with the side of the knife, the curry powder as you spoon it into a waiting ramekin…. Their fragrances come in waves as you work, layering together and hinting at the flavors you'll soon be enjoying.
I've cooked mussels here a number of times. They're inexpensive, especially for seafood, fun and elegantly messy to eat with your hands and so delicious. Their mild brininess blends beautifully with any number of flavors. And mussels cook up quickly. Once they hit the pan, you're five to 10 minutes from dinner.
Mussels are also that extremely rare find – sustainably farmed seafood. I've written about that before here, but it bears repeating. Mussels don't need to be fed other seafood; they filter their sustenance from the water around them. So they actually clean the water, instead of polluting it as some farmed seafood does. Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch, the go-to authority on seafood sustainability, calls farmed mussels a Best Choice. Most American-farmed mussels come from the coast of Maine.
Usually when I've cooked mussels, it's been with a European direction – with tarragon and cream or oregano, saffron and tomatoes – or out and out French, with the classic Moules Marinières. This time, though, I took a pan-Asian (plus semi-global) approach. It started when I read a recipe somewhere for curried mussels. It sounded good enough to prompt finding more recipes for the same. There were many differences and one surprising constant (besides the mussels, I mean).
Camps were divided on the curry. Many called for Thai red curry paste, while some chose curry powder. Curries, I should point out, are actually dishes – usually vegetables, meat or fish – with a richly spiced sauce. While they originated in India, they're found throughout Asia. Curry powder is a mix of spices used to flavor curries (the same with curry pastes). Shallots and garlic appeared in some recipes, but not in all, as did lemongrass, which is closely associated with Southeast Asian cuisines. Wine figured in some recipes, not Asian at all, as did vermouth. And while some relied on cream for richness, most went with coconut milk, a staple of Thai cuisine.
With all those differences, the one universal ingredient was cilantro. Get out your passports for this one. It probably originated somewhere in Mediterranean Europe and has been found in ancient Egyptian tombs. But it's also a big part of Southeast Asian cooking and practically mandatory for most Mexican recipes.
I'm not sure exactly what I expected when I put so many big flavors together. What I got was a surprisingly delicate balance. It was flavorful, make no mistake. But no one ingredient tromped all over the others – or our taste buds. Everything blended into one sublime meal. Each ingredient was definitely there and accounted for, but no one was shouting.
Curried Mussels with Cilantro
Serves 2 as a main course, 4 as a starter
2 pounds mussels
1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 stalk lemongrass, crushed, cut into pieces (see Kitchen Notes)
1/2 cup dry white wine [editor's note: substitue cooking wine]
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, optional (see Kitchen Notes)
2 generous tablespoons chopped cilantro, divided
1/2 cup light coconut milk
a baguette or other crusty bread
A quick note: Prep everything else before you clean the mussels – or even remove them from the fridge.
Clean the mussels. Scrub mussels with a stiff brush under cold running water, discarding any mussels with broken or cracked shells, or any opened mussels that don't close when you tap their shells. Remove the beards which may appear along the hinge side of the shell, using a sharp knife or pulling with your fingers. Set aside in a bowl.
Heat olive oil in a large, lidded pan (a sauté pan is ideal) over a medium flame. Add the shallot and sauté until soft, about 4 minutes, until soft. Add garlic and lemongrass and cook until fragrant, about 45 seconds, stirring constantly. Add wine, water, curry powder and half the cilantro and stir to combine. Add mussels in a single layer and cover pan. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Cook just until mussels open, about 4 to 6 minutes.
Transfer mussels to a bowl with a slotted spoon, discarding any mussels that don't open. Add coconut milk to pan and raise heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil, stirring, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes to blend flavors. The broth will not appreciably reduce; that's okay.
Divide mussels among shallow serving bowls. Spoon broth over mussels, avoiding pieces of lemongrass as much as possible (there's nothing dangerous about it – it's just chewy). Sprinkle with remaining cilantro and serve with crusty bread for sopping up the flavorful broth.
Kitchen Notes
Lemongrass. This delicious Southeast Asian grass (yes, it's really a grass) is filled with citrus oil. It's also fibrous and tough. Sometimes, you need the actual plant, so you peel it down to the tender core and mince it well. Other times, like now, all you need is the oils. Peel off some of the outer tough leaves, cut the stalk into 2-inch sections and bash them with the side of a chef's knife. This will release the oils into the broth as it cooks.
Heating things up. A little heat in this dish livens up the delicate balance of flavors. The curry powder I used was already packing heat in the form of ground Sannam red chiles. If your curry powder isn't hot, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes.
Where's the salt? You'll notice there's none in the recipe. The mussels release briny liquid into the broth, and extra salt is rarely needed.

A BBC Scotland documentary to be aired tonight (Wednesday) highlights the public health cost of our love of cars, showing how air pollution leads to heart problems and at least 2000 early deaths.
The BBC's investigation also found that Dundee, Edinburgh and Aberdeen were not using existing powers to stop and fine polluting vehicles.
Friends of the Earth Scotland is calling on the Finance Secretary to increase the spending on active travel - walking and cycling - in next year's budget.
The funding would be necessary to tackle the high levels of air pollution which persist across many parts of Scotland. Emilia Hanna, air pollution campaigner for Friends of the Earth Scotland, said: "Traffic-related air pollution continues to be a public health crisis in Scotland, increasing the risk of asthma attacks, strokes, heart attacks, and cancers. "Tonight's BBC documentary shows just how damaging cars are to our health and confirms air pollution as one of the biggest silent killers in Scotland.
"Last year the Scottish Government was ordered by the UK Supreme Court to increase its efforts to tackle air pollution but instead we see even more money poured into building motorways and trunk roads.
"The draft budget includes a massive £820 million for road building with only £40m left for walking and cycling paths. The current budget allocations are irresponsible and reckless if this Government wants to address traffic, the root cause of our air pollution problem.
"The Scottish Government says that it wants more people to walk and cycle, but if it is serious about this then it has to put its money where its mouth is. It cannot simply expect more people to walk and cycle when our pavements are broken and cycle paths still non-existent in many areas.
"The Netherlands and Denmark provide clear proof that investing in active travel reaps huge health, social and economic benefits. In the long term the Government must spend 10 per cent of its transport budget on walking and cycling. This year, we are calling for it to reallocate a further one per cent of the roads and motorway budget to active transport in addition to its existing commitments."
On the cities' lack of action over polluting vehicles, Hanna commented: "Getting the most polluting vehicles off the road can make a big difference, so it is disappointing that large councils are not using these powers.
"The Government should work with councils to make sure the skills and resources are available to allow these powers to be used effectively."
The BBC Scotland documentary 'Car Sick', airs tonight (Wednesday, January 13) on BBC 1 at 7.30pm.

Maisbrunn (Freistaat Bayern, Germany)
Maisbrunn, an estate in the Dachau district of Bavaria, Germany. The former owners of this land had set aside a field to be used as a burying ground, before the Mennonite chapel and cemetery were built at Eichstock. After the Hartmetz and Hirschler families left, the estate passed into the possession of a Catholic, who broke down the cemetery fence and used the gravestones to improve his buildings. The appeals of the previous owner to purchase the cemetery in the name of the Mennonite Church of Eichstock were not recognized, since the congregation was not incorporated and could therefore not acquire property.

You've probably heard of experiments where scientists create stem cells out of other kinds of cells. Now, you can actually see what that looks like. Here, you can see the work of University of Cambridge neuroscientist Yichen Shi, who has turned ordinary human skin cells into neural stem cells that, in the future, we might transplant into somebody's brain to cure disorders like Alzheimer's.
Says Shi:
[Here are] brain neural stem cells derived from human skin cells. These stem cells express typical marker genes of brain neocortical stem cells, such as Pax6 (in red), and form a rosette structure resembling the transection of the neural tube.
The entire image is about 250 μm across (a really thick bit of human hair)

On a 1976 episode of Sesame Street, a Muppet flamingo decides to fly north to visit Sesame Street for his vacation. He realizes that his vacation in the city isn't going to be fun when he asks Big Bird for a fruit tree and a drink of water. The water is frozen, and the trees are bare.
Gonzo asks Arlo Guthrie to tune his flamingo guitar in The Muppet Show episode 408. He had it shipped in from Miami.
Backstage on The Muppet Show episode 424, the animals complain about the poor response to "I Go to Rio". One of the penguins even rented a tuxedo for the occasion (he's really a flamingo).
In episode 506 of The Muppet Show, a flamingo (played by Louise Gold) appeared during the falling sequence.
From seasons 17 to 22, another flamingo named Placido Flamingo, an opera singer, appeared as a recurring character.
The 1999 TV movie Alice in Wonderland featured flamingos built by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
A 2002 episode of Sesame Street features Elmo dancing the Flamenco with a flamingo.
Dorothy imagines Elmo as a flamingo in Elmo's World: Sleep.
In the Animal Show episode "Pelican & Flamingo", a flamingo named Julie told Jake and Stinky how flamingos eat the proper way.

Hello everyone! Spring quarter has been off to a great start! I really love all of my classes, and we're only three weeks into the quarter, but it seems like so much has already happened in that short time – both school and non-school related. So I'll try to touch on a few of the more interesting things of these first few weeks here in Columbus…
So I'll start with something "non-school" related: the CD 101 concert. Here in Columbus, one of the big radio stations called CD 101 (even though it's technically now on a different frequency of 102.5) put on a great little concert last weekend that I had the pleasure of attending. It was packed with some excellent bands including two of my new favorites, Ra Ra Riot and Fitz & the Tantrums. If you have not heard of these bands, I highly recommend both – just click on their names above to jump to their websites… Ghost Under Rocks by Ra Ra Riot and MoneyGrabber by Fitz & the Tantrums are currently my favorite specific songs by these bands, in case you need any specific recommendations. I have a feeling there will be plenty more concerts and fun events throughout the rest of this quarter as the weather continues to warm up.
Now something more school-focused but equally interesting: Senator Sarbanes (as in one of the two legislators for which the Sarbanes-Oxley Act is named). This was very cool because as far as the world of accounting goes, this is as close as I've ever come to an accounting celebrity. Senator Sarbanes spoke to a large group of MAcc and other Fisher grad students mostly about SOX, and it was really interesting to hear what someone who helped create the act had to say about it. (Thanks to Seth W. for the picture.) Our next scheduled speaker will be Mark Morze, former CFO of the infamous ZZZZ Best Carpet Cleaning fraud from the 1980s, so I'm sure you'll see a post about that in the near future.
Speaking of the future, and one other entertaining topic that I can cram into this post, this Saturday a good number of Fisher students will be participating in the spring Fisher Games. Basically I've been explaining this to people as a field day of sorts, filled with games ranging from disc golf to dizzy bat to kickball to an egg toss. I will be joining a few of my fellow MAcc students to compete against other Fisher students, and it should be a great time!
So with everything going on this quarter, I'm sure I'll be writing very soon about something else, so until next time!

Improving Student Testing Act of 2007 (S. 2053)U.S. Senator Russ Feingold has introduced the Improving Student Testing Act of 2007, a bill that will make changes to the No Child Left Behind Act to improve the quality of education assessments used in our schools and support innovative state and local school reform efforts. The legislation is fully paid for through offsets.
Feingold's legislation contains the following provisions:
- Reforming NCLB's Focus on High Stakes Testing - Encourages states and local districts to move away from using high stakes standardized testing as the primary measurement of academic achievement in school accountability decisions. The bill provides competitive grant funds for states and local districts encouraging the creation of higher-quality, authentic measurements of student performance. The legislation also provides states and local districts with flexibility to use high-quality multiple measures of assessment in state testing and accountability systems.
- Reforming Testing Mandates - Promotes state and local control over decisions affecting children's day-to-day classroom experiences, including the frequency and use of high stakes standardized testing. The bill reforms the federal testing mandate to allow annual assessments at least once in grades 3-5, 6-9, and 10-12, instead of the current requirement for annual testing in grades 3-8 and once in high school.
- Revising the One-Size-Fits-All Adequate Yearly Progress Model - Provides flexibility for states to develop alternative accountability models. One example of such models includes growth models, which allow schools to better ensure that each student, regardless of his or her current academic level, continues to make academic progress.
- Addressing the 2014 Deadline - Reforms the 2014 deadline by putting in place a funding trigger that waives the 2014 deadline for any year that Congress does not fully fund Title I, Part A.
- Improving the Department of Education's Peer Review Process - Makes changes to the Department's peer review process to ensure that states have the ability to interact directly with peer review teams. The bill also encourages more consistent decision-making from state to state during the federal peer review process of state testing and accountability systems.
- Disaggregating Graduation Rates - Requires states to disaggregate graduation rates by NCLB's student subgroups, including economically disadvantaged students, students from major racial and ethnic groups, students with disabilities, and students with limited English proficiency.
- Encouraging Capacity Building - Creates a competitive and flexible grant program to provide funds for states and local districts to help build their infrastructure and capacity. Increased access to federal funding for capacity building will help encourage states to develop better assessment and accountability systems including using multiple measures of assessment and growth models.
- Improving Privacy Protections - Includes important measures to help ensure the privacy of personal information contained in state education data systems.

Yasuni's unique Green Gold, our "Lungs of the World" is about to disappear...
Yasuni National Park located in the Ecuadorian Amazon Basin has been recognised by the United Nations as the most bio diverse place on the planet and home to many indigenous communities amongst the Huaorani's, whom I have lived with.
In 2010, the Ecuadorian Government started an initiative to raise $3.6 billion over 13 years to keep oil reserves in the ground of Ishpingo-Tambococha-Tiputini (ITT) oil field. After raising $13 million from charitable donations, President Correa has abandoned this mission when he announced, "I have signed the executive decree for the liquidation of the Yasuni-ITT trust fund and through it, end the initiative". If this exploitation goes ahead, a terminal cancer will spread through "The Lungs of the World" and not only will the indigenous and the local groups be affected by this but so will you and I. Our entire humanity and future generations run the risk of growing up in a toxic environment. Who knows what other diseases and traumas this will bring about?!
This is why I'm so passionate about it:
When I was 9 years old, I learnt about deforestation in the Amazon at school and ever since, I wanted to do something about it. It became a dream, gifted by a flame of passion.
Then at the age of 21, I travelled to the Ecuadorian Amazon, Yasuni National Park to live and document with the Huaorani tribe and immersed myself in their culture and way of life. There, I hunted food with the warriors and gathered food and resources with the women. Then, they initiated me into the tribe in the most honourable way. Thus an alliance was created between the Amazon and the West and the Huaorani's asked me to spread their message to the world. "Amazon Souls" was the very first film I ever made and this documentary was premiered at Cannes Film Festival this year, shown at the Sheffield Doc/Fest and screened in London a couple days ago with rainforest charities including Sky Rainforest Rescue, WWF, Rainforest Foundation UK, Rainforest Alliance and Rainforest Concern supporting the film.
"Amazon Souls" trailer:
I discovered upon my return from the Amazon that scientists had found plants that could cure cancer. I wanted so badly to return to find this plant as my father was suffering from lung cancer and eventually he died from it in November of 2011. I still want to find it. But if plants and trees are being destroyed, how can we make this possible?
I urge you with the highest importance to please join me in my mission and to sign this petition to encourage the leaders of the world's richest governments with President Rafael Correa and the Ecuadorian Government to stop their plans to drill in the Amazon and to find alternative ways to provide income for the country. I'm sure that if all the brightest minds on this planet connect along with all the power to make this happen, then there be a solution. I also think that the Yasuni ITT Initiative should be given a second chance. This will allow governments in developed countries a second chance to contribute and help
Please help me in my mission to raise awareness of this issue by spreading this message.

If the Ecuadorian government take notice of this petition, then that's a step forward. If decision makers abandon or even postpone their plans to drill in the Amazon, that's step two. But to get to step two, they need to have alternative options. If we unite as one and provide solutions, with everyone working together to make this happen, then I'm sure we can reach our goal. Saving the Amazon Rainforest has a global impact on our environment so this action will effect the indigenous, the locals, me and even you.

Singapore, 9 January 2012 – Jurong Bird Park explodes into a wealth of colour this Chinese New Year, with rainbow lories taking centrestage. Chinese New Year wouldn't be complete without the traditional God of Fortune and Lion Dances, and the Park's festive Bird Shows, all of which add to the gaiety and joy which surrounds such a festive occasion.
Rainbow lories found at the Lory Loft exhibit will be the focus this Chinese New Year – colourful and gregarious, they are often seen in flocks, which represents abundance, an auspicious representation for the New Year. To add to the festivities, the Park will be teeming with festive vibrant flowers, showcasing the landscaping flair of in-park Horticulturists.
Adding to the excitement, a Southern Lion Dance troupe will perform on high poles, showcasing the lion's agility, grace and majesty as it confidently traverses height with precision. On the ground, three God of Fortunes will be giving away lucky red packets and
mingling with guests at Jurong Bird Park for photo opportunities. Even birds from the show want in on the festivities, with Sassy the sulphur crested cockatoo flying red packets to selected guests, and Amigo the yellow-naped Amazon parrot will wow guests with his linguistic ability and wish audiences 'Gong Xi Fa Cai.'
After the Southern Lion Dance in the morning, a brisk walk into the Park towards Lory Loft at noon will bring guests to an up close encounter with vibrantly chattering lories. Visitors will have the opportunity to see a whole flock of lories swarming around as the keepers feed them, while a running commentary explains more about Lory Loft and the lories there. Throughout the day, two iPad Stations have been set up at Penguin Coast for visitors to create and design a Chinese New Year greeting card to be sent to friends and family.
A tradition only found in this part of the region, Yu Sheng has become a staple during Chinese New Year. Guests to the Bird Park can also indulge in this delicacy, known for its assailing flavours of sweetness, sourness, bitterness and spiciness. From 3 – 13 February, Hawk Café, located before the entrance to Bird Park, will dish this out from lunchtime, at attractive prices of $8 for 2 pax, $16 for 4 pax, $24 for 6 pax and $32 for 10 pax. Chinese New Year is also a time for a reunion with friends and family, and the Flamingo Lodge at Bird Park is the place to be to host reunion lunches and dinners. From 13 January – 6 February, diners can enjoy the Sweet Success Menu at $188+, the Good Fortune Menu at $338+, the Wealth, Fortune and Prosperity Menu at $438+ and the Family Reunion Meal at $538+.

Vancouver Hammam Heaven at the Miraj Spa
One of my favourite spas in the world is La Mosquée in Paris, it's in (as the name suggests) the Mosque on the left bank and is a series of beautiful marble-tiled rooms, each hotter than the next, where you steam and soak, take an icy-cold plunge and then steam and soak some more. It's a traditional cultural ritual and I found it surprisingly reassuring to be in a room of (mostly half-naked) women of all ages, shapes and sizes. However, it can be a baffling experience; there are no instructions. You get handed slips of paper which you exchange for a 'gommage' (a body scrub) or massage but there's no real system of how or when that happens. And although, yes, I wound up with a soaking wet towel and shredded wet paper slips (you're meant to leave them in your locker till you need them) and was a tad alarmed by the brutal scrubbing I got from an elderly Arab lady (which I genuinely feared would leave me nipple-less), I really enjoyed my afternoon there.
So when I got chatting with Surinder, the owner of Vancouver's Miraj spa, I was delighted to find out that her spa was based on her own experiences at La Mosqueé. I went to check it out one rainy day last week. It was cold and grey and miserable outside. I stomped down to West 6th Avenue in my rubber boots feeling like I'd never get warm again. I left feeling like I had an all-body halo glow and positively skipped off down the road. What happened in between? All good stuff… however, it's definitely a more North American version; instead of a shared hammam space, this is a solo adventure into spa-ing.
The Miraj experience starts by showering and then slipping into a cotton kimono. I had a hamman guide, Adria, who took me into the incredibly hot steam room (120 degrees Celcius) and explained things to me. I lay on the cool marble and felt my achy muscles melt in the intense heat. Candlelight flickered in the steam and as I began to sweat, I felt myself relax. After 20 minutes, Adria came back to collect me for my black soap gommage. I took off my now-soaking kimono and laid on top of it as Adria scrubbed my body with exfoliation mitts. This is definitely the bit where any shy people might feel a bit weird, but Adria was so matter of fact that I suspect even the most body-non-confident person would feel relaxed in her company.
I turned over for more scrubbing, then stood up and was sluiced off with warm water. My skin felt as smooth as the marble I'd been lying on. I'd booked in for the basic hammam, gommage and 15-minute Orientale massage. Next visit, I'll book for something longer as after all that heat I bet I could get a great deep tissue massage. The 15 minutes really felt like just a soothing application of oil.
Massage over, I put on a fresh cotton robe and headed to the lounge area to sip a glass of sweet mint tea and nibble on a cake. I'd love to do this with a girlfriend and you can book the hammams for two. Sunday is couples day so if you want to take your parter along, that's the time to do it. I flicked through a glossy magazine and felt a million miles from the cold, wet, cross girl who'd stomped in an hour or so earlier. Miraj recently opened in the Shangri La hotel in Toronto and I'm definitely checking that out when I finally make it over there, but in the meanwhile, I feel happy that I've found a piece of my beloved Paris, right here in Vancouver.
Thanks to Miraj for hosting me – as always my views are 100% my own.
