American International Group officials said Friday they are preparing for regulation by the Federal Reserve Board in addition to state regulation.
Indeed, contrary to the views of most other insurance companies, Robert Benmosche, AIG president and CEO, said, "in a way, we see it as a big positive."
The comments were obviously linked to the announcement after the market closed on Friday that the Treasury Department is selling 163,934,426 shares of its AIG common stock at $30.50 per share in a public offering.
AIG issued a simultaneous announcement that it has agreed to purchase 98,360,656 shares at the public offering price of $30.50.
At the same time, Benmosche did not specifically say when Federal regulation would begin and analysts did not ask him.
That's because the new IPO is unlikely to trigger immediate Federal regulation.
It is believed that AIG will come under Federal oversight as a "systemically significant" financial company under a provision of the Dodd-Frank financial services reform law once federal ownership of the company dips below 50 percent.
But, analysts believe that the new offering will still leave Treasury owning 54 percent of AIG stock, above the 50 percent threshold needed to trigger federal regulation of AIG as a so-called systemically significant financial company, or "SIFI."
Benmosche brought the issue of federal regulation to the front burner by initiating the conference call Friday morning that followed AIG's second quarter earnings announcement by saying, "We're often asked about regulation."
He said he views it that way because it would help AIG handle what he downplayed as the 2008 "bump in the night" that, in fact, triggered a federal rescue of massive proportions.
"We really don't know when we will be regulated but we do believe we will be regulated by the Federal Reserve, probably."
"That seems the most likely candidate and we're putting an enormous amount of effort and cost to make sure that we are Fed-ready …"
The AIG purchase of its own shares from the Treasury is expected to cost $3 billion, money it has set aside to purchase the shares.
However, the final level of Treasury ownership that will remain depends on how much the Treasury gets for the remainder of the offering.
And, a further factor is that the Treasury has granted the underwriters a 30-day over-allotment option with respect to approximately 24.6 million additional shares of AIG common stock.
In his comments, Benmosche said AIG has made a comprehensive study of how it will be impacted by federal regulation, and that its only concern is whether it should divest itself of its Wilton, Conn.-based thrift.
He acknowledged that AIG "is giving thought to whether we should now close the bank we have because we're concerned about that aspect of it, and an insurance company invests very differently than a bank would …"
But aside from that issue, he said, "this is really about making sure we have a really good process and good controls, especially in the risk management arena, very good controls around how we determine we can handle a bump in the night that happened in 2008, for example."
He explained to analysts that, "I don't think there's any concern we have about the businesses we have and so on."
He said AIG has "discussed internally" the effects the Volcker Rule could have on us, and "so there is a little concern there."
The Volcker rule, which is still being drafted, would severely limit the ability of financial firms to invest in private equity deals for their own account.
He added that the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, ("They do a very effective job in the U.S.") and international regulators monitor other aspects of the business.
But, he said, the key is that insurance regulators have capital maintenance agreements as to how much capital subsidiaries they regulate must have, so, "The real question becomes the amount of money that we hold at the holding company above all of the regulated entities; and to the extent that we own these regulated entities, what requirements the Fed may have."
For example, at AIG we have as you know the capital and maintenance agreements, which say that we can contribute money back into the insurance companies if risk-based capital is full.
"We've got to make sure that money is actually there and is available if, in fact, there is a crisis at an insurance company," Benmosche said.
"And so having the Fed regulate that money and making sure that when we have a liquidity plan–we have one– that's reassuring to the insurance regulators that are looking at AIG's ability to live up to its commitment. So in a way, we see [Fed regulation] as a big positive."
Currently, the Treasury Department holds 61% of AIG. The Treasury interest stems from federal intervention starting in September 2008 through the Federal Reserve Board. The Fed agreed to provide $182.3 billion in cash aid to AIG in return for 79.9 percent of its stock.
The Fed and the Treasury ultimately provided more aid through special purpose vehicles created by the Fed, guarantees on its commercial paper, and aid through the Troubled Asset Relief Program and other Treasury programs.
The Fed has since been paid off, either through sale of AIG assets contained in the SPVs, or through acquisition of AIG stock held by the Fed by the Treasury in return for cash that ended the Fed investment.
AIG has been working hard to bring down the government's investment as soon as possible, hopefully by the fall, and Friday's night announcement was part of that.
Other insurers, both property casualty and life, are also expected to designated "SIFI," but they are fighting it tooth and nail, and enlisting the help of members of Congress to support their position.
They could be eligible for Fed regulation either by being designated SIFI or because they own thrift holding companies.
A number of insurers which operate thrifts are moving to either divest their thrifts or reduce their involvement with them.
These include Prudential Insurance Company, Massachusetts Mutual Insurance Company and W.R. Berkley.
But, Benmosche sees federal regulation as a positive. He explained to analysts that, "I don't think there's any concern we have about the businesses we have and so on."
He said AIG has "discussed internally" the effects the Volcker Rule could have on us, and "so there is a little concern there."
During the conference call, in answering an analysts' question, Benmosche ran down the laundry list of anxieties businesses have over federal rules designed to tighten regulation of America companies this decade, for example, the so-called Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
"Look, a lot of us were frustrated with SOX 404 and so on," Benmosche said. "It was a lot of form over substance, but the process itself made sure companies really thought through the controls they need to have to make sure that they issue numbers that are correct," Benmosche said.
"And so we see [Fed regulation] as an enhancement to that process, and so it's really about process, policies, and making sure we have really good controls over some of the assumptions around our liquidity and so on," Benmosche said.
"So that's really the major change is just how we do things," he concluded.

With a good-natured farewell speech to diplomats on Monday, Lawrence Cannon marked his departure as the last of Stephen Harper's four minority-government foreign ministers. The question now, as the Prime Minister begins his four-year mandate, is whether majority government will change his approach to the world.
Mr. Harper will dispatch Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq to the first major international meeting of his majority, an Arctic Council session in Greenland on Thursday. But in two weeks he'll head to a G8 summit in Deauville, France, to launch his third-term foreign policy. Over the past five years, Mr. Harper's policy has stuck close to domestic politics, and sometimes cleaved to the votes of diasporas at home. "Rarely did the government raise its head above the political trenches when thinking about Canada's role in the world," said Fen Hampson, the director of Carleton University's Norman Paterson School of International Affairs.
Now, Mr. Harper and his new foreign minister - the as-yet-unnamed replacement for the defeated Mr. Cannon - can play for the longer term. But it won't all be freer rein. On issues like Afghanistan and trade, he was able to craft the basics of bipartisan policy with the Liberals, but the NDP, now the Official Opposition, stood outside those agreements. And getting provinces onside will be key to some of Mr. Harper's international economic agenda.
Libya: Mr. Harper's most immediate foreign-policy challenge will likely be staking out the future of Canada's military mission in Libya now that Western allies seem stalemated. The G8 summit will be a key forum, with gung-ho leaders of Britain and France pushing for more support for Libyan rebels and Russia objecting. Mr. Harper's instincts, according to government sources, are to side with the tougher approach of Britain and France; with the United States looking to others to take lead roles in Libya, it's a test of his taste for post-Afghanistan intervention.
The Canada-United States Perimeter talks: With a majority, Mr. Harper has greater latitude to strike a deal with the United States to co-ordinate border security and harmonize regulations without fearing it will be judged a sellout of Canadian sovereignty in an imminent election. The NDP and others will likely criticize the agenda, but Dr. Hampson argued that Mr. Harper could make it a major legacy that reduces security-driven barriers to trade - but the Prime Minister's immediate attention will be needed to advance it with an Obama administration already looking to the 2012 election.
Trade: Mr. Harper has lionized the cause of free trade, but big deals didn't close under the minority government, amid fears of raising opposition and offending sectors like the Quebec dairy farmers or Ontario manufacturers. A four-year mandate gives Mr. Harper leeway to sign big deals like a trade agreement with the European Union, and then allow political wounds to heal. The catch is that a trade agreement with the EU, and probably other deals, will require approval from provincial governments, some of which will face their own elections this year.
Asia: Although ties with China chilled in his first two years, Mr. Harper has since attempted to warm relations with China and India to encourage investment and trade. Now, Mr. Harper, who promised to make the economy his overarching priority, has a four-year timeline to plan an Asian strategy, not just with trade deals but expanding the transportation infrastructure in the government's Asia-Pacific Gateway projects - and setting the course on whether Canada will try to diversify energy exports by building oil and gas pipelines to the West Coast.
The Arctic: The government now has time for less talk and more action on the Arctic. The sabre-rattling about defending Canada's Arctic sovereignty alternately annoyed Russians and Americans, but the real divvying of turf and the vast resources of the North is on the agenda in the current term. Canada will submit its claims to the Arctic seabed for UN arbitration by 2013, and there is likely to be a rush to negotiate settlements, as in the Canada-U.S. disagreement over a patch of the Beaufort Sea along the border between Yukon and Alaska.

What our Clients are Saying
I've been attending Precision's workout classes for the last year and a half and have attended both the Alpha and 360 Abs class. Having done sports my whole life, I can easily say that I'm the most physically fit and strong I've ever been. (I can now do a pull-up! As a female!) The classes are encouraging, consistent and led by knowledgeable and caring instructors. I seriously recommend them to all those who are serious about getting fit!-Amy N.
For someone who had always been intimidated by the idea of working with a personal trainer, I'm so glad to be working with Teri-Lynn, as I'm loving my workouts, consistently improving, and have now built a habit that I look forward to every week. I am stronger, have better balance and feel more flexible, all thanks to her personable approach. I would recommend her without reservation.-Mariana M.
Training with Teri-Lynn was the highlight of my week. She both challenged and encouraged me–and I think that is what makes her exceptional. I expected to be pushed physically, and to become stronger and more fit. She knows how to whip you into shape (squats!), and keeps a close eye on good form and healthy habits. But I think her real gift is her ability to do all that with great patience, positivity, and kindness. She's someone who you can really trust to make your life better.-Tomi E.

Pizza night @ Vincent's Clam Bar
It's my second time here, in less than a year. Good food, as usual. Totally packed on a Tuesday night. The two square ones are tastier. The Moscato is too sweet. The two huge jars, one is garlic powder and one is hot pepper flakes.
I left early without any of the desserts and coffee.

UI widgets we use.
We try to avoid breaking changes and the associated major version bumps in this package. The reason for that is to avoid the following scenario:
x 4.6.0: Adding RadioButton widget
x 5.0.0: Breaking change in the TextArea widget
x 5.0.1: Styling fix in the Checkbox widget
Suppose you just released version
5.0.1, a small styling fix in the checkbox widget, for a story you're working on. If the project you're working in currently pulls in
noredink-ui at version
4.x, then getting to your styling fix means pulling in a new major version of
noredink-ui. This breaks all
TextArea widgets across the project, so those will need to be fixed before you can do anything else, potentially a big effort.
To prevent these big Yaks from suddenly showing up in seemingly trivial tasks we prefer to avoid breaking changes in the package. Instead when we need to make a breaking change in a widget, we create a new module for it
Nri.Ui.MyWidget.VX. Similarly, when we build custom elements in JavaScript we create a file
lib/MyWidget/VX.js and define a custom element
We should change this process if we feel it's not working for us!
If you are moving in a widget from the monolith:
Nri.SomeModule and its tests to
Nri.Ui.SomeModule.V1 in
Nri.Ui.SomeModule.V1 is a direct copy of
Nri.SomeModule, switch over to it everywhere!
Nri.Ui.SomeModule.V1 makes changes, rename
Nri.SomeModule to
Nri.DEPRECATEDSomeModule in the monolith and start using
Nri.Ui.SomeModule.V1 where you need it
Our goal is to gradually move to the newest version of each widget, and remove the old versions when they are no longer used.
noredink-ui is used by the monolith and by CCS. When neither of these repos use a version of a widget, it can be deleted. (Note: this will be a major version bump, so you may want to batch deletions together.)
When touching code that uses a widget, prefer upgrading to the latest version.
This repo contains an app showcasing all of these UI widgets.
To see them locally:
If you'd like to test your widget in the monolith before publishing, run
script/test-elm-package.py ../path_to_this_repo from the monolith's directory.
Run tests with
make test
Travis will run
make ci to verify everything looks good.
You can run this locally to catch errors before you push!
Once your PR is merged, you can publish
master as a new version:
Run the following to bump && publish the version in
elm bump
Commit and push your changes in a PR. Once it's approved and merged, then:
git tag -a 5.10.0 -m "release version 5.10.0"
git push origin 5.10.0
elm publish
You can also add a tag in https://github.com/NoRedInk/noredink-ui/releases/new if you want to add more detail.
Once you've published, you should see the latest version at https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/NoRedInk/noredink-ui/.

Patients and their families will be given the unique opportunity to take part in a confidential registry and biologic repository to help define the underlying predisposition to cancer. The study will help to answer questions about whether cancers may have a genetic or environmental cause (or both) and ultimately to learn more about susceptibility to cancer.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well crizotinib works in treating patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery and has a mutation in a protein called anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). Mutations, or changes, in ALK can make it very active and important for tumor cell growth and progression. Crizotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the ALK protein from working.

A synthetic rubber is any type of man-made elastomer that is mainly derived from petroleum. There is a wide variety of synthetic rubber products available, all created through different manufacturing processes to provide versatile alternatives to natural rubber. Synthetic rubber products are used in many different applications worldwide, with the most common uses being in the industrial and automotive sectors. There are many different types of synthetic rubber that are available on the market. Each elastomer has its own unique traits that make them unique, and Rubber-Cal makes it a point to stock a variety of synthetic elastomers that have the largest market demand. Unlike organic rubber products, synthetic rubber material does not have a carbon-to-carbon backbone that can leave it susceptible to ozone, UV, heat and other ageing factors. Synthetic rubber also generally comes with good levels of chemical and temperature resistance, with specific degrees varying according to the type of elastomer.
We offer a variety of types of synthetic rubber including: Neoprene, Nitrile, Silicone, EPDM, SBR, and thermoplastic materials like Santoprene. Each synthetic rubber offers a unique characteristic and has been developed by industry for specific types of use. For example, silicones, as well as other synthetic rubber products, excel in temperature extremes, being able to operate normally within a range of -100° C to +300° C. Synthetic rubber material offers superior properties such as elongation, tear strength, compression set, fire resistance and, in some cases, tensile strength that are superior to that of natural rubber products.
The development of synthetic rubber coincided with the rapid advance of industrialization across the world. One of the earliest recorded developments of synthetic elastomers occurred in 1879, when the French chemist Gustave Bouchardat synthesized a form of rubber using isoprene. This process was later refined in 1909 by a German team of chemists with the German company Bayer. At this time, however, the development of synthetic rubber was considered something of a leisurely scientific curiosity.
The two world wars drove home the need for synthetic rubber alternatives to natural rubber. The nature of war and society had become more mechanized and complex. It required materials such as rubbers that could last longer in the face of oils, chemicals, and high temperatures. Natural rubber has many excellent attributes, but such resistance is not one of its strengths. Developing synthetic rubber for wider use provided an opportunity to give the material specific desirable properties. One such example is nitrile, which is a synthetic rubber material refined by German chemists between the two World Wars. Nitrile was developed to provide a rubber with superior oil and grease resistance. Originally earmarked for war-time automotive use in vehicles like jeeps, tanks and planes, such types of synthetic rubber have become widely used in a range of applications.
An alternative synthetic rubber to nitrile is neoprene. Neoprene rubber was actually developed earlier than nitrile. It was synthesized by DuPont chemical company in 1930 and went commercial by 1939. At first it was not as mass-produced as nitrile rubber because of high manufacturing costs and an overpowering odor on the elastomer itself, but refinements over time eliminated these problems. This synthetic rubber material can come in hard and soft varieties and has a moderate degree of resistance to oil and ozone.
Since the end of World War II, the development of synthetic rubber has skyrocketed. Now there are many varieties of synthetic rubber products available on the market for a diverse range of applications. In addition to nitrile and neoprene elastomers, Rubber-Cal inventories various other synthetic elastomers such as SBR, EPDM, Santoprene, and silicone.
SBR stands for Styrene Butadiene Rubber. It is a variation of nitrile rubber and was developed around the same time. Since it is a variation of nitrile rubber, SBR is sometimes designated as Buna-N, referring to the styrene compound used in its manufacture. It is a tough synthetic rubber that is often put to use in vehicle tires because of its excellent abrasion resistance qualities. Tires need to be able to handle harsh conditions over their lifetime, including rough and abrasive road surfaces and extreme outdoor weathering, including constant UV exposure. Where natural rubber falters, a synthetic rubber such as SBR is designed to excel. The durable nature of SBR allows it to be used in synthetic rubber products which require a higher degree of toughness.
EPDM rubber is another popular synthetic rubber material. It generally comes in variations, but the material's common trait is an enhanced degree of resistance against outdoor weather conditions. This synthetic rubber endures in the presence of moisture, ozone and UV rays, as well as a range of chemicals.
Another very popular type of synthetic rubber is silicone. Silicone rubber comes in several different forms. Rubber-Cal brings to the market those silicone grades that are the most widely used. We offer regular commercial grade silicone, a higher end premium grade silicone, a translucent silicone, and an FDA compliant silicone. A common feature between all these silicone grades is that they exhibit superior levels of temperature resistance.
Recent years have seen the rise of new thermoplastic materials. Thermoplastics are a mix of synthetic rubber and plastics. We stock a thermoplastic material known as Santoprene. It was developed in 1977 by Monsanto Company and is now owned by Exxon Mobil. It has seen wide use in commercial and industrial applications. Santoprene material combines natural rubber's flexibility with the enhanced levels of chemical resistance seen in synthetic rubber. As a bonus to the eco-conscious consumer, Santoprene is one of the few thermoplastic materials that can be recycled.
Ever since the arrival of the first synthetic rubber products on the market, the use and development of various types of synthetic rubber has exploded. We make use of them every day in ways we often do not recognize. There are many different types of synthetic elastomers available on the market, but Rubber-Cal offers the most popular and widely-used among them. Whether your application requires superior levels of durability, oil, chemical, or weathering resistance, look no further than synthetic rubber. Our menu of man-made rubbers includes nitrile, neoprene, silicone, EPDM, SBR and Santoprene. Such synthetic rubber products are manufactured specifically to deal with certain high-stress environments. This means that synthetic elastomers often provide the best material for any given job, because they have been designed to meet its needs.

Jeff Gundlach: Apple is Broken, Over-Owned Stock
Jeff Gundlach, founder of Doubleline Capital, appeared on CNBC Wednesday evening to give his take on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). Gundlach specializes in bonds, but his bearish Apple call has gotten him a lot of coverage.
Gundlach recommended that investors short Apple last spring when it was trading near $600.
In his appearance Wednesday, Gundlach was as bearish as ever, calling Apple a "broken" stock that was "over-owned." He reiterated his prediction that Apple would fall to $425. He said that he wouldn't consider Apple cheap until it was in the $300s.
Gundlach refuted a number of the Apple bull arguments. Specifically, on Apple's low PE, Gundlach pointed to the company's large cash pile. Given that Apple's cash pile represented more than one-fifth of the company's value, it really shouldn't be a surprise that it trades at a low PE -- the multiple given to cash should be zero.
In after-hours trading, Apple shares dropped nearly 10 percent, trading around $463. Apple closed at $514 on Wednesday.

Emily Heist Moss prefers to look at the kindness of strangers rather than worry about men as sketchy stereotypes.
I prefer to travel alone. I spend an hour in front of one El Greco painting, and then breeze right past every other wonder the Museo del Prado has to offer. I stop and sit in a park for half a day pretending to read while scoping out the local population. I meet strangers and make friends more easily alone, encounters that usually top any tourist adventure I might find in my Lonely Planet guide. I'm at my most selfish and self-indulgent when I fly solo.
I also feel at my most vulnerable. I'm in unfamiliar places, navigating in languages I barely speak, if at all. Sometimes, I go to countries where the presence of a wandering single white woman is an attraction in and of itself. There are probably at least a hundred Indians with surreptitious cell phone pictures of me; apparently I was just that photogenic. Are there moments of discomfort? Of course; I view them as the price of admission to the parts of the world I want to see. Do I feel in danger? Very rarely. Are my fears misplaced? Am I demonizing foreign men when I should be celebrating the kindness of strangers?
* * * * *
A few years ago, I was working my way from the north of Spain to Gibraltar. One evening in Barcelona, I went to watch a light and water show at a city fountain. Late by my American standards, the Spaniards were still enjoying dinner at 11pm. A group of businessmen chatted me up by the fountain; they seemed harmless, if flirtatious. As I walked back to my hostel, I realized one of the men was trailing me.
He approached me, and said something in Catalan I didn't understand. I responded in Spanish, telling him to have a good night, and waving him away. For a block, he hovered just a few feet over my shoulder. He approached again, lightly grabbing my elbow. Though the precise language of his proposition was lost on me, the gist was clear: American girls all have a price, what was mine?
I waved him off more forcefully, telling him clearly and loudly to leave me alone. I ducked into a KFC to regroup, hoping he would scuttle off. I had a few Euros and a hostel key, no cell phone and no one to call. My lurker made figure-eights in front of the restaurant, periodically checking to see that I was still there. Behind the counter, a pimply 16-year-old lounged with his coworkers. I looked at this kid, and then out at the man on the sidewalk, and decided I had to trust someone and it might as well be this teenager. I told him, as best I could, that there was a bad man outside and I needed help. He walked out with me where I pointed out the stalker, still pacing and eying me. My teenaged helper shielded me from view, protectively held my elbow, and flagged a cab. He told the driver to take me as far as my remaining Euros would get me. I cried in the backseat and told the non-English-speaking cabbie the whole story. He promptly took me all the way to the hostel, shortage of Euros be damned.
You can listen to this story and extrapolate that Spanish men are aggressive, sexist, rude horndogs. Some of them certainly are. When I tell this story, I focus on the creep and my audience usually launches into their own variations on this experience. Unfortunately it isn't uncommon for single women to find themselves followed, touched, catcalled or harassed while traveling. You could also listen to this story and see two regular Spanish men, a fast food employee and a cabdriver, who helped me out of a sticky situation.
I've been telling the story all wrong. I've been calling it "that time I was stalked by the creepy guy" instead of "that time I was rescued by the kindness of strangers." It's unfair of me to emphasize the stalker when the KFC guy and driver played equal, and better, parts in this play. It focuses on the salacious, scandalous stereotype instead of the decency of ordinary people. I'll tell it differently next time.
The truth is, I have exponentially more kindness-of-stranger stories than sketchy-foreigner stories. A man on a train platform in Morocco shared his tea at the end of a Ramadan fast and told me how much he loved America. At a hotel without room phones or wake-up calls, an employee came and knocked on my door at the crack of dawn so I wouldn't miss my flight. At the airport in Delhi, two English-speaking Indian men offered me their phones while I waited for my delayed friends. If they didn't arrive, the men assured me, I could come to the wedding they were attending. Every time I have asked for help, and many times I haven't, it's been offered generously and respectfully.
* * * * *
When my mother brags about me to neighbors in the supermarket, she often includes my latest adventure. "Alone?" they ask, appalled, "You let her go alone?" Set aside the fact that there's no "letting" to be done anymore; the neighbors are clearly concerned for my safety. What they don't realize is that the places I go are no more or less dangerous than the city I walk through every day. There are certainly different risks when traveling alone and I don't mean to minimize them. People are people everywhere, however, and no matter where you are the vast majority are good and kind and wish to help.
I could focus on the anomalous man who made me feel unsafe and uncomfortable, or I could focus on the surprising and spontaneous kindness of strangers. I think I'll take the latter. It's not as exciting a tale, but it's the truth.

Hi I'm Troy and I just got off the Volkl RTM 77. I really enjoyed this ski, I am going to give this ski a 5 out of 5 stars. This is a great ski for the intermediate who wants to get better. It is unbelievably easy to turn, it's predictable, it's smooth, it's sturdy. You can really trust it to really learn some new techniques, and become a much better skier using this ski.
Read the Review Transcript:
Hi I'm Steve. I just got off the RTM 77. I give this ski 4.5 out of 5 stars. It's a great ski for somebody who's an intermediate advanced-intermediate skier and wants to get better, is not afraid to charge, likes speed, wants good edge hold. This ski is so easy to turn, all you do is basically tip it over and it turns. It has great edge hold, strong stability, very poppy from turn to turn. It's a great ski for someone who wants to get better, I strongly recommend it, 4.5 out of 5.
Read the Review Transcript:
Hi, my name's Thom. I just got off of the Volkl RTM 77. This is a 4.5 out of 5 star ski. For this price this thing is fantastic. The best way to describe it is just simply easy. You don't really have to think about it. You don't really have to force it to do anything. It just gets up on edge. It holds and it carves great short to medium radius turns. This isn't gonna be for your guy that wants those big looping arch's but somebody that wants to stay really in control and just have a good reliable ski under their feet for skiing on trail all day, this is it.
Read the Review Transcript:
I'm Adam and I was just skiing on the Volkl RTM 77. This is a 4 star ski. It makes a great ski for that intermediate to advanced skier that is going to spend most of there time on piste. Perfecting there turns, making a little bit of carving going on there. It is pretty stable at speeds and very easy to turn. Especially for short tight nimble turns. 4 out of 5.
Read the Review Transcript:
Hey, It's Hunter here. Just got off the Volkl RTM 77 and for the advancing intermediate skier, I give this 4 out of 5 stars. This skis got full rocker and I like how easy it is to start a turn. What I didn't like about this ski was it is a little washy when you get to speed if your in that two hundred plus weight category. If your looking for something that you can ski all day that's quick to turn, this is a great choice.
Read the Review Transcript:
Hey, I'm Hans. I just came off the Volkl RTM 77. This is a great ski for the inspiring intermediate skier who wants to get better. Wants to do the next jump to become a better skier. For $699.00 this is an incredible ski for the front side. I give it a 3.5 out of 5. Skis long radius turns, it is definitely a little bit on the soft side. But for the intermediate to advanced skier it's a phenomenal deal.
Read the Review Transcript:
Hi, this is Kevin. I just got off the Volkl RTM 77. I give this ski a 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's not that it's a bad ski. It's responsive, it kinda does what you want. Just for me I think there's skis that have better feedback that are a little more lively. With the full rocker on this ski it just kind of goes into a turn, sets it and that's it. I just didn't get that pop that I traditionally like out of a ski. Especially something that's light as this from turn to turn. So all around it's a great ski if your looking to develop your skiing skills, especially on the front side. If you really want to work on your carving skills this ski will definitely guide you into a nice carve turn. So if your a developing intermediate this would be an awesome ski.
Read the Review Transcript:
Hey this is Tyler and I just got off the Volkl RTM 77. I give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's a great carving ski, it's really forgiving, light from edge to edge, it really holds a good edge. I kinda wanted to push it a little bit further and it was losing a little bit of stability. But if you're doing any type of blacks, or blues and just really it's good cruising ski. Anyone from an intermediate up to an advanced intermediate can really rip around on this ski.
Read the Review Transcript:
Hey, my name is Josh. I just got off thee RTM 77 by Volkl. This is a fun ski to ride. I give it 3 out of 5 stars. It's a little soft for a big guy like me. But if your that intermediate front side carver this would be an awesome ski for you. Holds a great edge in the long turns and it's really good at making short snappy back to back turns. I had a lot of fun riding it. If you stay on the front side and stay on the groomers, this is the ski for you.


text: This solves a specific problem in that "eq" is not adequate for comparing JSON strings as a hash map one machine may JSONize differently on a different machine. So I don't really how anyone can write test scripts for JSON code without this. I was a bit annoyed at the function called "is_json". This is what you need to compare JSON strings but you would not know that from the name.

VVS Laxman, the stylish indian batsman who was not in form for quite a little time, has said good bye to the international cricket and announced today that he would not be able to play home test series against New Zealand.
To elaborate the things, his names was included in the announced 11 for the test series already but critics did not like his inclusion in the team for his current poor form.
But the Man (VVS) has different ideas and stopped all the critics with proper-timed shot of his.
We wish him good luck for his domestic career and IPL career.

Naked knitting (aka nude knitting) is the most pure form of knitting. The knitter does not wear any clothes or any other superfluous things, that might distract from the process of knitting.
Naked knitters are not very popular amongst nudists, since most nudists share the belief, that knitting results in unnatural and needless products, such as clothes.
Note: naked knitting is highly recommended, when knitting inside the bathtub, in the shower or in a sauna.
The book "No Sheep for You" by Amy R. Singer depicts a naked knitter on the front cover- evidently she just turned vegan, and has burnt all her woolen clothes, so she had nothing left to wear.
The Knitting Noras – a knitting group from Bolton, Lancashire is featured in the "Naked Knitting 2010" calendar.
The BBC-show tittybangbang featured a semi-naked knitting group. The naked Knitting Noras also had appearances on TV.

Best known for publishing and distributing books on the creative and visual arts, Phaidon Press has announced that Cecily Kaiser has come on board in the newly created position of publishing director, children's books, and that Meagan Bennett has joined in the new position of art director, children's books. Both Kaiser and Bennett are based in the publisher's New York offices and will report to Deb Aaronson, v-p and group publisher of Phaidon. Their new roles are effective immediately.
Phaidon has previously published notable titles for children under the direction of its former commissioning editor for children's, Rachel Williams in the U.K. (now publisher of Frances Lincoln Books) and Hélène Gallois Montbrun, senior editor, children's books, out of Phaidon's Paris office. Successes have included books by Tomi Ungerer and Hervé Tullet, as well as The Art Book for Children and The Silver Spoon for Children cookbook. According to Aaronson, the appointment of Kaiser and Bennett will allow for greater expansion in the children's arena. "I am thrilled by the opportunity to leverage the Phaidon brand and grow the program for a range of ages by continuing to work with the most talented artists and authors in the world," Kaiser said in a statement. "Like the adult Phaidon list, our books will challenge the conventions of traditional publishing, both in content and packaging."
Prior to coming to Phaidon, Kaiser launched the Appleseed imprint at Abrams, publishing more than 60 titles in that line. And before her work at Abrams, Kaiser was at Scholastic for 10 years, first as editorial director for the book clubs and then as editorial director for the company's Cartwheel imprint. Bennett, who is also making the move from Abrams to Phaidon, has most recently been associate art director for Appleseed and has also worked for Penguin Young Readers Group and Chronicle Books.

This Spring, Catholic parishes will be celebrating Masses for their graduating high-school seniors — but studies show that nearly one out of every three of those seniors will leave the Catholic faith at some point during their college career, and even more will stop practicing it.
However, campus ministers believe a new high-school outreach program from the Newman Connection will give them a vital tool in stemming the loss of young Catholics from the Church and promote the New Evangelization on America's college campuses.
The Newman Connection, a nonprofit company that provides support and resources to Newman Centers throughout the United States, has launched a new national outreach program to help Catholic youth bridge the transition from high school to college.
With the tagline "Make a Newman Connection," the program seeks to work with Catholic dioceses to connect Catholic high-school graduates with college campus ministries and information about the Catholic community on their campus before they arrive as freshmen.
"We have to find ways to keep our kids connected to the Church. That's really the bottom line of this program and the Newman Connection," Bill Zerrusen, Newman Connection president, said.
Ninety percent of the 5.5 million Catholics in higher education attend a secular university, and Catholics make up 35 percent of the freshmen at public campuses, according to the Catholic Campus Ministry Association.
But a startling 30 percent of college-aged Catholics (young adults aged 18-24) will leave the faith during these years, and at a higher rate than their peers in other faiths, according to a 2012 study by Georgetown University's Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA).
The process behind the Newman Connection's high-school outreach program is very simple: Parishes gather the names of graduating high-school seniors after a Mass or event. A volunteer, staff member or youth minister at the parish then enters the names into the database at NewmanConnection.com.
"They enter in the names, and instantaneously the name is sent to a campus minister who has log-in access to our site," said Matt Zerrusen, Bill Zerrusen's son and Newman Connection's executive vice president and designer of the system. "The campus minister logs in and sees a link that says: 'View incoming student.'"
Anyone can also visit NewmanConnection.com and enter a student's name by clicking "Invite a Student to Connect" on the front page. Entering the student's information will generate an email to the student with a link inviting them to "Get Connected to Campus Ministry."
Once the program funnels student information to campus ministers, they can contact students over the summer and introduce them to Catholic college life at their Newman Center before they come to campus.
The Newman Connection's program expands on the College Connection for Catholics (CCC) program pioneered by SerraUSA, an organization promoting Catholic vocations in youth.
Newman Connection fully took over the program in July 2012, with the approval of Bishop Peter Christensen of the Diocese of Superior, Wis., the episcopal adviser for SerraUSA and the SerraUSA board, with a mandate to expand the program to include all Catholic students nationwide.
The original CCC program reached out to seniors in Catholic high schools— but Catholic high schools account for only 10 percent of all Catholic students, meaning that much more to do. And the Newman Connection had the connection to do more.
Newman Connection's extensive network, with close to 250 Newman Centers, he said, gave them the ability to take the CCC program to a whole new level, "and really do what the program was intended to do."
The three Serra Clubs in this diocese and Newman Connection-High School Outreach Program have partnered to assist high school seniors with Catholic Campus Ministry before they begin their college career. This is a free service to each young adult whose name is entered in the Newman Connection program this year. Serra Club members are seeking your support to reach all Catholic graduating seniors in our diocese.
In the U.S. last year, with the assistance of Serra Club members, 70,000 graduating seniors registered for the Newman Connection program to find a Catholic presence on or near their college campus. In the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph in 2017, 486 names were submitted to the program through the diocesan and private Catholic high schools and parishes.
By working together, we can encourage college-bound young adults to continue to grow in their Catholic faith. Direct all questions to Homer Radford, Diocesan Coordinator for the Newman Connection, (816) 560-2992 or e-mail: email@example.com.
