• In an emerging culture of convenience, virtual payment systems outside of traditional
banking structures have added a new dimension to financial transactions.
• Loyalty programs combined with integrated couponing will drive consumer adoption.
• Merchants should have a voice in the payment "revolution", where there is a
growing consumer demand for innovative technology and convenience.
The 2nd Annual Alternative Payment Systems Innovations Forum, through engaging panels and case studies APSI 2011 will enable a cross section of stakeholders from all facets of the emerging contactless/ mobile payments arena to explore technology, strategies and attainable solutions to help executives successfully navigate and capitalize on this exploding market.

Mobile payment solutions are evolving at a rapid rate with new equipment and software manufacturers emerging at every turn with new and improved technology for system delivery.

The BayPay Forum
If you are a member of the payment industry, you are invited to join BayPay, a networking group of the Silicon Valley focused on payments and composed exclusively of members in the payment community or investors in this area. If you are not yet a member and would like to join, reply to this email to get your free membership with a quick description on how you fit in the payment industry. Even after all these years, the payments industry is still expanding in both mature and emerging markets worldwide as the industry adapts to new market opportunities. New technologies including contactless cards, cell phone integration, biometrics, RFID and strong authentication are emerging and potentially creating new challenges for both financial institutions and their customers. Prepaid cards, gift cards, new forms of payment like PayPal, are all vivid demonstrations of the vibrancy of new thinking in the payments industry. With wireless ubiquity now essentially a reality, transaction aggregation and micro payments become a necessity. As the financial industry and merchants provide more and more services online, phishing emerges as a problem that requires more education and communication with consumers.
Objective BayPay's primary goal is to provide a face-to-face professional networking forum for the regular exchange of views on these issues among active professionals within the payments industry who are located in the San Francisco Bay Area. An online BayPay group on Yahoo! provides opportunities for members to interact among themselves between regular face-to-face meetings.
BayPay Is a joint initiative of Glenbrook, Edgar Dunn & Company and Daniel Chatelain from QSecure, Inc. that is open to other companies or individuals contributions.
Membership To ensure an appropriate level of professional participation, membership in BayPay group is by invitation only. BayPay members invite others to join based upon their own judgment as to who could best contribute to the group. To subscribe please go here.
Code of Conduct All information shared by BayPay members is considered their own personal opinion and does not represent the official position of any company. All member comments are not for attribution in any form whatsoever outside of the BayPay membership. While we would like any information exchanged in this forum or in our events remain private, members must understand that this is a semi-public group and there can be no assurance of confidentiality.

John Liu's Donations Look Even Sketchier
He got campaign cash from a convict.
Comptroller John Liu's campaign financing has come under scrutiny yet again, and the race for New York City mayor hasn't even begun in earnest yet. Liu is generally considered a strong challenger to front-runner Christine Quinn, in large part because of his solid donation chest. But earlier this fall, it emerged that some of the people listed as donors to his campaign hadn't actually given to him, and that their names had been deployed so that wealthy Liu supporters could skirt the rules that limited them from giving too much. And now, reports The Wall Street Journal, he's been definitively linked to someone with a proven track record of using such sketchy measures: During his 2009 campaign for comptroller, Liu relied on Nathan Hsu, a Democratic fund-raiser who ran afoul of the law , and went to prison, when a man and woman testified that he'd used their names to mask the identity of the actual money-givers. Liu is aware of Hsu's problematic record — in 2008, he returned donations collected by Hsu after the conviction — but he didn't return everything, even from donors who were clearly determined to be less-than-aboveboard. But hey, what does this guy know about accounting and auditing? He's just the city comptroller ...

DREAM Delayed in the Senate
Released on Tue, Sep 21, 2010
Washington D.C. - Today, the Senate voted 56 to 43 against proceeding to the Defense Authorization Act. This procedural vote, which basically followed party lines, ends consideration of critical social issues that affect the military and were to be offered as amendments to the bill. Among the amendments not considered is the DREAM Act, an immigration bill that would provide legal status to young people who graduate from high school and pursue college or military service.
The following is a statement from Mary Giovagnoli, Director of the Immigration Policy Center:
"The political gridlock that has immobilized the Senate has resulted once again in a lost opportunity for the American people. By refusing to allow the Defense Authorization Act to proceed, America will not see, at this time, an up or down vote on the DREAM Act, which would have been a first legislative step in resolving our immigration crisis. The Senators who voted "no" today are ignoring unequivocal evidence that the DREAM Act is good for military readiness, the American workforce and the U.S. economy.
The energy and enthusiasm of thousands of young people who have poured themselves into promoting the DREAM Act has not been wasted, however. Because of their efforts, more people today understand the importance of DREAM to our economy, our military, and the future of our country than ever before."
For more information contact Wendy Sefsaf at firstname.lastname@example.com or 202-507-7524.

Defining a syndrome or disease in the absence of unambiguous clinical and pathological findings is a vexing yet essential challenge in medicine. Any proposed definition will be somewhat arbitrary and open to dispute. However, failure to agree on a definition will leave clinicians and researchers rudderless. Without a unified definition of a disease, it is difficult to conduct epidemiologic studies, to assess the benefits and harms of potential therapies, and ultimately to care for patients.

This NFL lockout could have a silver lining for some teams when it comes to free agency.
The Washington Post is reporting that if the court system rules that the NFL must end its lockout, free-agency rules will likely revert back to the 2010 system in which there was not a salary cap.
It would mean there would be restricted free agency for four- and five-year players. That very likely wouldn't be the case had there been a deal, or if there is a new CBA, agreed upon before free agency starts. There usually isn't much movement in restricted free agency in which the player's current team has matching rights and the player's signing team must give up a draft pick or more.
While the lockout is a major mess, this development would give teams leeway with key free agents. That could be good news for the AFC West teams, particularly Oakland and San Diego.
In that instance, Oakland tight end Zach Miller and running back Michael Bush would be restricted free agents. In San Diego, safety Eric Weddle and receiver Malcom Floyd would be restricted free agents.
Kansas City cornerback Brandon Carr and Denver tackle Ryan Harris are also among the players who would be affected by this development.
Oakland cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, who'll be the best player in free agency, would still be an unrestricted free agent. Actually, this development would likely help Asomugha's value. The free-agent class would shrink considerably and teams looking to upgrade may put extra resources into a pursuit of Asomugha, knowing that there will be fewer avenues to improve.

A geosynchronous equatorial orbit is a circular orbit above the Earth's equator that has a period of 1 day (these are sometimes called geostationary orbits). These geostationary orbits are of great importance for telecommunications satellites because a satellite orbiting with the same angular rate as the rotation rate of the Earth will appear to hover in the same point in the sky as seen by a person standing on the surface of the Earth. Using this information, determine the altitude hg and radius rg of a geostationary orbit (in miles). In addition, determine the speed υg of a satellite in such an orbit (in miles per hour).

Taiga Aisaka (逢坂 大河)Age: 16-17
Birthday: July 27
Blood type: O
Height: 144.5 cm (4'9")
Weight: 34 kg
School: Ohashi High School
Class: 2-C
Occupation: Student
Favorite food: Pork cutlet (tonkatsu)
Likes: Christmas, Santa Claus
Dislikes: She hates her figure as it appears in a swimsuit.
Famous Quote: "Having someone saying you're okay as you are being needed by that person. It was nice to have someone like that."
Taiga is a girl in Ryuuji's class. She has a well-regulated and beautiful appearance though is unable to stomach company from others. Due to her often snapping at others in brutal ways and her short stature, she is given the nickname "Palmtop Tiger."
Her under-developed body and the added nickname has given her a complex which in turn serves to give her a negative attitude and facial expression. Essentially, Taiga gets upset easily and is considerably clumsy. She is also brutally honest, typically when she is lashing out at someone. Due to her cute looks (described as a doll by Ryuuji), she often gets confessions of love by boys, but she turns down every one of them, including Yuusaku Kitamura (which she later regrets).
Despite coming from a well-to-do family, her life with them is very difficult because of various problems. Her father and mother got a divorce, leaving Taiga with her father. When he remarried another woman who was significantly younger than himself, it caused misunderstandings between Taiga and her step-mother. One day it became too much for Taiga, causing her to run away from home and since then, she has taken to living on her own. Since she came from a privileged household, she does not know how to do any domestic chores. When she meets Ryuuji and learns of his domestic talents, she ends up relying on Ryuuji to clean up after her. Aside from sleeping in her own house, and going to school, she spends most of her time at Ryuuji's house; so much so that she is considered a member of his family.
At the beginning of the story, she is infatuated with his best friend Yuusaku Kitamura and gets nervous every time he appears around her. Ryuuji finds out due to a misplaced empty love letter from Taiga meant for Kitamura. Ryuuji then admits to having feelings for Taiga's best friend Minori. Due to this, Taiga and Ryuuji team up to help each other get into a relationship with each other's best friend.

On top of being thrown hard, the fastball is tossed with a backspin, causing it to fall very little -- and giving batters the illusion that the ball is rising. It has both two- and four-seam variations. Nolan Ryan is the all-time strikeout king, with 5,714, and threw seven no-hitters in his career. Though other power pitchers such as Roger Clemens and Randy Johnson have made the fastball their big pitch, no one used it as well as Nolan Ryan.

CINCINNATI -- This time last week, Reds fans were basking in their team's proximity to contention and the induction of former players to Cincinnati's Hall of Fame.
Even as the team has since faltered, Ken Griffey, Jr. returned to his palatial Orlando home and his fellow inductees Dave Parker and Ron Oester continue dealing with the realities of Major League veterans who were born too soon. While Junior is set for life, Parker and Oester are working men. Oester certainly more so than Parker who is dealing with the ravages of Parkinson's disease.
Yet neither one seems the least bit inclined to lament their fates. It is hard to fathom the fortune Dave Parker would have commanded had his career unfolded just a few years later than it did. And Oester -- never lavish in anything he did -- could afford to go fishing forever had he cashed in on the bounty now bestowed on players half his measure.
And be forewarned: Don't attempt them to get either to feel sorry for themselves. Whining isn't in their DNA. Admirable considering the health-related hand Parker has been dealt and the underhanded deal that laid Oester low in 2001.
WCPO Insiders can read Janson's take on why he thinks Oester got passed over for his dream job with the Reds and why the Reds veteran remains a class act.

And be forewarned: Don't attempt them to get either to feel sorry for themselves. Whining isn't in their DNA. Admirable considering the health-related hand Parker has been dealt and the underhanded deal that laid Oester low in 2001.
That unspeakable act of treachery by then Reds general manager Jim Bowden, deprived Oester of the chance to manage the Reds. It went unmentioned during last week's festivities. But it shouldn't be forgotten. The prevailing sentiment is that Bowden was fearful of Oester, not in any physical sense but in terms of Oester's unshakeable ethics and honesty. Bowden wanted Bob Boone in the role and got it when then Chief Operating Officer John Allen unwittingly or otherwise also fell victim to Bowden's machinations.
The final insult was inflicted when it fell to Reds PR director Rob Butcher to inform Oester that he had been usurped for his dream job in favor of Boone. One nugget I gleaned from last week's event, in addition to the fact that Oester would prefer not to talk about the incident, was that only one player bothered to call him expressing regrets at the unseemly turn of events: Sean Casey. Is anyone surprised? I am stunned though to think he was the only one who took note of the outrage.
Those closest to Oester say his disappointment was tempered realizing he would have had an uphill struggle with the way the team was configured back then. But the idea that he'll never know still gnaws at him occasionally. That was certainly a different era of Reds baseball.
Bowden has gone on to become something akin to a cable channel fixture, blathering on as one of baseball's more notorious talking heads.
Meanwhile, his nobility and reputation intact, Oester has receded into private life presiding over a thriving landscaping business. The kind of honest pursuit that provides tangible proof of one's day's work.
I will always admire his fortitude and discretion, and absolutely value our long association.

John Catsimatidis' Advice to Joe Lhota in the Mayor's Race: Spend More of Your Own Money
It wasn't so long ago that we said a reluctant farewell to John Catsimatidis, grocery store magnate, unsuccessful mayoral candidate, and profoundly weird dude. Oh, sure, he's popped up here and there--writing a heartfelt, creatively spaced goodbye poem on Facebook, bizarrely insisting that Rudy Giuliani owes him $210,000 from the former mayor's failed presidential bid--but things just aren't the same since he lost to Lhota in the Republican primary. Happily, he reappeared for a moment this morning on Curtis Sliwa's radio show, to offer Lhota some sterling advice: When your campaign flounders, just write yourself a check.
-See also: Farewell John Catsimatidis, You Crazy Diamond
In case you're unfamiliar with Sliwa, he's the founder of the Guardian Angels, the red-bereted guys who stalked around the subway in the '80s, um, wearing red berets (their stated goal was to prevent muggings and other violent crime). Sliwa still has his special hat, but in recent years, he's made a second name for himself as a radio show host and sometime used-car hawker. His show nets some surprisingly high-profile political guests: Bill de Blasio came in on Monday, while Eliot Spitzer, Scott Stringer, and virtually everyone else who was campaigning this summer have also stopped by.
The only exception is Joe Lhota, who hasn't been on Sliwa's program since May, over five months ago. Sliwa claims he's now "persona non grata" with the Lhota campaign for endorsing Catsimatidis, one of Sliwa's most frequent guests. Undeterred, this morning, Sliwa and Catsimatidis chatted about Lhota's campaign, and what he needs to do to make up that gigantic lead de Blasio's currently holding. The answer, in Catsimatidis' mind, was pretty simple.

"I think Joe has over six or seven million in cash personally," the Cat Man said. "He has to write a check and loan his campaign money." Nothing major, he added, "two or three million."
He said it again a few minutes later: Lhota "has to write the check ... out of his own account, like I did, support himself and get his message out there. Then he'll have a decent chance of overcoming the difference in the election."
That was definitely Cats' strategy in the lead-up to the primaries. According to the New York City Campaign Finance Board, he spent $10.4 million to get not-elected, a number, the Wall Street Journal notes, only approached by one other candidate, Eliot Spitzer, who, as you may recall, also came in second.
And while Lhota's recently been blasting Bill de Blasio for being a "Marxist" "Democratic Socialist," and fuming over de Blasio's trips to Cuba and Nicaragua in the '80s, Catsimatidis was surprisingly gentle.
"I went to Havana on a religious mission," he told Sliwa. "And I went there previously on a hoot. Young people do things on a hoot sometimes. Thirty years ago is a long time."
When asked by Sliwa if he and Lhota might join together for a "unity rally," Cats, for once, didn't have much to say. We miss you, big guy.

text: Infinity Pharmaceuticals Another stock that's trading within range of a major breakout trade is biotechnology and drugs player Infinity Pharmaceuticals ( INFI), which engages in the discovery and development of medicines for difficult-to-treat diseases. This stock is off to a strong start in 2012, with shares up over 40%. If you take a look at the chart for Infinity Pharmaceuticals, you'll notice that this stock has been on a tear for the last four months after it broke out above $6.95 and then $10.18 a share. That first breakout over $6.95 came with huge volume and triggered a gap-fill in this stock back to $10.18 a share. Then the breakout over $10.18 came again with big volume and pushed the stock to a recent high of $13.75 a share. Since hitting that high, shares of Infinity Pharmaceuticals have pulled back below its 50-day moving average to a recent low of $11.76 a share. That said, on Thursday the stock recaptured its 50-dy and now looks poised to trend higher and trigger another breakout trade. >>22 Biopharma Stocks With Breakout Potential Market players should now look for long-biased traders in INFI if it can manage to trigger a near-term breakout trade above some overhead resistance at $13.00 to $13.75 a share with high-volume. Look for a sustained move or close above that level on volume that registers close to or above its three-month average action of 216,341 shares. If we get that action soon, then INFI should trade up towards $15 to $20 a share in the near future. If you buy this stock off of weakness and anticipate that breakout, then I would simply use a stop just below its 50-day moving average of $12.44 a share. You can also play this off of strength and get long once it takes out $13 to $13.75 a share with strong volume, and simply use a stop just below $13 a share. Keep in mind that this stock is heavily shorted since 17.6% of its 16.20 million share float is sold short by the bears. The bears have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 12.4%, or by about 229,500 shares. If INFI can trigger that breakout trade soon, then we could easily see a sizable short-squeeze develop once the stock hits a new 52-week high above $13.75 a share. Prev 2 of 6 Next

The best way to tell if the property is priced correctly would be to look at recent comparable sales in the same geographical area of sold properties similar to the one listed for sale, i.e. number of bedrooms / bathrooms & approximate square footage. I took a quick look at recent comparable sales in the 90746 zip code for properties with 3 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms and 1200-1600 square feet, and the majority have sold for approximately $330,000.00 to $350,000.00, with a few of them priced under $300,000.00. Judging from this and without actually looking at the condition of the actual property itself, it would appear that this property seems to be priced competitively for the market.
Although the address is not disclosed on Trulia, I have done a little research and found that the address of this property is 525 E. Moorehaven Drive, and it is currently listed on the MLS as a pending sale as of 3/11/09, meaning it has an accepted offer and is currently in escrow.
There are several other properties available in the same area with similar size and bedroom/bathroom number. If you have any questions or if I can assist you in obtaining more information about other properties available in the area, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call me at 323-810-7976.
Thanks, have a good day!

Chatfield's City Council wrangled with two very prominent issues during the July 11 meeting, beginning with how to properly advertise for bids for new water meters since the councilors had voted at the previous meeting to reject all bids and revise specifications in its advertisements.
Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF) President and CEO Tim Penny and SMIF Board Member Sue Kolling came before the Fillmore County commissioners on Tuesday, July 12, to give an annual report of SMIF's projects and accomplishments and to ask for an appropriation to assist the organization in making strides for the communities it serves.
Tractors are going from the show to the parade during the annual Western Days celebration in Chatfield next month.

The Escape Hunt Experience Queenstown is due to open in the
Mountaineer Building, Beach St, in November.
Ranked the No 1 attraction in cities around the world on
travel website TripAdvisor, the themed activity requires
groups of people solve a fictional crime to escape a room
within an hour.
Queenstown's theme will be the gold rush era.
It is the latest to follow a wave of indoor attractions in
the ski resort.
They include Fear Factory's haunted house, interactive
simulators Dark Ride and Vortex, and the Odyssey Sensory
''It's something you can do in between all the crazy outdoor
activities,'' the Queenstown franchisee, Anne-Marie Ireland
''It's very interactive, puzzles, clues, surprises, and so
popular across the world right now.''
Mrs Ireland said the Queenstown operation would aim to take a
share of the corporate and conference group market, as well
as tourists, locals and families.
The experience is designed for two to five people.
''Rather than people living in a digital world and just
playing on their phones all day, they can go in and
experience something as a group. You've got 60 minutes to
escape, so there's quite primal impulses involved,'' her
husband, Gareth Ireland, said.
''It allows people on down days, or inclement weather days,
to do something that's unique in Queenstown.''
Five rooms on the first floor of the Mountaineer Building
will be given over to the activity. Some of the rooms will
have identical themed games so groups can compete against
each other.
''It's ... such a beautiful building,'' Mrs Ireland said of
the Mountaineer.
''And it's perfect because we're taking people back in time
to the gold rush. It was the Prince of Wales Hotel back then.
There'll be a theme around that; a crime scene in one of the
The Great Clyde Gold Robbery, when 13,000 of gold and notes
was stolen one night in 1870, will also feature.

I am using a child theme for twenty eleven. Today, I updated twenty eleven and now my header image, instead of appearing immediately below my nav menu, appears to the right of the menu and extends off the right side of the screen.
This occurs on my PC laptop, but not on my macbook pro. I've gone through the CSS and it is all correct. I've tried clearing my cache and restarting my browser. The child theme doesn't contain any code referencing the header image or its size.
Unfortunately, I cannot post the address at this time because the site is for members of a health services agency and contains confidential information. I'll see if I can find a solution, but in the meantime I'd appreciate any ideas.

About This Group
God's Blessings
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
Welcome to Christian Art and Photography group!!
This group is all about Christian art - all mediums are welcomed. This group is more than artwork from Christians, it is about celebrating and sharing our faith.
The Christian spiritual aspect should be obvious in the image. If I cannot find any Christian connection in the image I will not accept it, as it would not be fair to the rest of the members.
A scriptural reference on your image. keywords or in the description of your artwork is most welcomed!
Any work that does not honor Christ Our Lord will not be accepted. Please realize that we are Christians of different traditions. Let's show respect to each other and not get into sectarian arguments. This is not a forum for religious debate.
It really isn't necessary to thank me for features, however, posting to the thank you thread in the discussion tab helps elevate the group's standings. If you would like to respond in kind, I very much appreciate visits/votes/promotions of my images.
I think it is important to take the time to comment, vote and promote the group images that
you like, because nobody likes to feel invisible!
So start creating and go out and inspire the FAA world!
Please limit your submissions to ONE per day

State officials charged a New London woman today with illegally collecting more than $39,000 in unemployment compensation.
Yveline Louissaint, 33, whose last known address is 309 Crystal Ave., was charged with first-degree larceny by defrauding a public community and unemployment compensation fraud.
The Unemployment Compensation Fraud Unit in the Office of the Chief State's Attorney began an investigation after receiving a complaint by the Connecticut Department of Labor.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, Louissaint fraudulently collected approximately $39,708 in unemployment compensation benefits between July 18, 2009 and May 14, 2011. The warrant affidavit states that Louissaint indicated that she was U.S. citizen in order to collect the benefits when, in fact, she was not legally authorized to work in the United States.
Louissaint was released on a $10,000 non-surety bond and will be arraigned in New Britain Superior Court, G.A. No. 15, on November 8, 2013. The charges are merely accusations and she is presumed innocent unless and until she is found guilty.
The case is being prosecuted by the Unemployment Compensation Fraud Unit, which was established under a partnership between the Division of Criminal Justice and the Department of Labor to investigate and prosecute alleged fraud in the unemployment compensation program. It is financed with funds provided by the U.S. Department of Labor.

"Pyramids in the Jungle" Palenque by DSwede
Palenque Travel Guide: 218 reviews and 735 photos
The humble town of Palenque has stood watch over the ancient Mayan ruins for a long time, despite the fact that for centuries the ruins were lost in the jungles.
The central areas of Palenque are similar to many of the other towns. The city has lots of tourist based stores for souvenirs and such, but is still a rather nondescript town.
The ruins located ~9km west of town are the main draw. The hills and jungle canopies that encompass the ruins and pyramids give it that lost world touch. It is a must see if you get to this corner of the world.
If you do make it here, you should continue to Misol Ha (see my tips) and to Agua Azul.
Feel free to visit my Mexico page for more on my time and visits to other places within Mexico.
I've placed more photos in my Mexico Gallery, so feel free to visit. If you enjoy the pictures, please leave a comment.
- Pros:The hills and jungle canopies that encompass the ruins and pyramids give it that lost world touch.
- Cons:The main town is still rather dirty and nondescript
- In a nutshell:Its a must see if you get to this corner of the world.

The jade death mask of Lord Pacal was found in his tomb in the Temple of the Inscriptions.
Looks like a beautiful, unspoiled area and almost no tourists. Waterfalls make it a great place to take a refreshing dip. Good hotel tip too -- the night photo of the pool area is quite beautiful!

Anton Kraabel
Anton T. Kraabel (October 16, 1862 – June 17, 1934[1]) was a North Dakota Republican Party politician who served as the ninth and 11th Lieutenant Governor of North Dakota under Governors L. B. Hanna and Lynn Frazier respectively. Kraabel also served in the North Dakota House from 1903 to 1904 and in the North Dakota Senate from 1905 to 1908.[2]
Anton T. Kraabel was born in 1862 in Øyer in the region of Gudbrandsdalen, Norway. When Kraabel was four years old, his family including his parents, two brothers and three sisters emigrated to the United States and settled near Coon Valley in southwestern Wisconsin. Two sisters were born to the family afterwards. At the age of sixteen, Kraabel started supporting himself by working on farms and in a sawmill. He later moved to North Dakota where he worked as a peddler, as a hotel manager and a lumber yard manager. Eventually, he settled in Clifford, North Dakota and began his career as a manager of a general store. In 1899, along with several others, he started the Clifford Bank. During this time, Kraabel was involved in local, county and state politics in North Dakota beginning as township clerk in 1888 and subsequently as township treasurer. He served in the North Dakota Legislative Assembly from 1903 to 1908; first in the House, and then in the Senate. He was elected Lieutenant Governor of North Dakota in 1912, but was defeated in the 1914 Republican Primary. He ran again for the seat in 1916, and served for another term. In 1918, however, he once again lost the primary for his party.[3] After his political career, he served as a chair and member of several boards. He helped to organize the Traill County Telephone Company and was its president for twelve years. He married Maren Oline Oswald in 1892, and they had seven children; three girls and four boys. He died at the age of 71 in 1934 in Montana.[4]

FMOC For Common Ground
Former Members of Congress for Common Ground is comprised of Republicans and Democrats who have enjoyed the privilege of serving in the Congress of the United States and benefited from working with each other over the years. We have organized informally with the hope that our shared experience may be informative and encouraging to those men and women who are candidates for the House and Senate this November – suggesting that political parties and partisanship play a measured but not dominant role in their lives as Members of Congress. We have joined in sending the following letter to all congressional candidates with understanding and respect for the inevitable passion that affects their campaigns for and eventual service in office, but asking that they be mindful once elected of the different personal dynamics needed to work together in addressing – and, we pray, meeting – the great challenges facing our Nation.
One issue that has become a federal / state issue is the regulation of online us casinos and online gambling within the US. If you recall, the US government in 2006 passed the UIGEA laws that greatly limited options for US online casino players. Even though it is NOT illegal for an individual to gamble, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act created a number of obstacles and limitations regarding money transfers for deposits and withdrawals for US players. At the time many online casinos closed their doors to US players. Finally the Justice Department reversed its course on gambling in 2011, ruling that federal law does not prohibit online gambling within states. However, credit card companies and banks are still reluctant to assume a leading role in processing particularly, online gambling transactions. Online gambling is rapidly losing its "shady" associations. Some members from both parties in Congress, have even introduced bills to legalize online poker nationally. Online casinos and gambling is here to stay. Let's work with the states to allow online casino USA player-friendly sites to develop unimpeded by limitations on money transfers for deposits and withdrawals.
Dear Candidate for Congress:
We are all former Members of Congress - and all partisans. We do not recoil from the term, or from the concept of partisanship.
Although political parties were not mentioned in the Constitution or considered directly by the Framers, they have been a core part of American democracy from the beginning and are central to every democracy. Parties are the way we organize to debate our differences; the way we organize Congress to do its work; the way we organize to offer citizens choices in elections. They pave the way for the orderly and peaceful transfer of power.
None of us shrank from partisan debates while in Congress or from the partisan contests getting there. During our time in Congress, partisans on the other side may have been our opponents on some bills and our adversaries on some issues. They were not, however, the enemy.
We often had heated debates over policy, but we avoided challenging the motives or good will of those on the other side. At least as often as debates formed on partisan lines, we found ourselves with allies from the other side of the aisle, aligned against some similarly diverse and bipartisan group who viewed things in a different way. An adversary one day could and did easily become an ally the next. All of us shared an overriding concern in common: we were in office to solve the problems facing Americans at home and America abroad.
Today, the problems we face as a nation - challenges to our position in the global economy, challenges to our role defending democracy around the world, challenges from terrorists seeking to do us great harm, challenges of a faltering economy, challenges in education, energy, immigration, climate, health and countless other areas - are as great as any this country has faced in our lifetimes.
Sadly, faced with those challenges, our political system has not shown itself to be up to the task.
Congress appears gripped by zero-sum game partisanship. The goal often seems to be more to devastate the other side (the enemy, no longer the honorable adversary) than to find common ground to solve problems, much less to have a spirited but civil debate about how to do so.
The divisive and mean-spirited way debate often occurs inside Congress is encouraged and repeated outside: on cable news shows, in blogs and in rallies. Members who far exceed the bounds of normal and respectful discourse are not viewed with shame but are lionized, treated as celebrities, rewarded with cable television appearances, and enlisted as magnets for campaign fund-raisers.
Meanwhile, lawmakers who try to address problems and find workable solutions across party lines find themselves denigrated by an angry fringe of partisans, people unhappy that their representatives would even deign to work with the enemy. When bipartisan ideas are advanced, they are met by partisan derision.
In a politically diverse but ultimately centrist nation, it is axiomatic that the country's major problems are going to have to be solved through compromises worked out between the parties. That's especially the case for the problems that require tough solutions - like convincing taxpayers to endure some short-term pain for the promise of long-term fiscal stability. That will require partisans on both sides to give ground on some of their cherished beliefs, to lose some traction on a "wedge issue" that can be used in campaigns against the other side, in order to find the broad coalition necessary to make a policy work.
Both parties share in the blame for this sorry state of affairs. Still, without action by both parties to work together to address the problems that face our country through serious, respectful and civil discussion and debate, the prognosis for our politics - and with it our economic health and our security - is grim.
As partisan veterans, we join together to advocate a change in approach - a change in rhetoric and tone that can lead to a focus on problem-solving. This needs to begin now, especially as we head into the heat of the 2010 campaign.
We are wary of campaign promises that are not always within a candidate's ability to deliver. But, we know there is one on which each candidate and eventual Member of the 112th Congress can make good for the institution and for the Nation: to conduct campaigns for Congress with decency and respect toward opponents, to be truthful in presenting information about self and opponents, to engage in good faith debate about the issues and each other's record, to refrain from personal attack, and if elected, to behave in office according to these same principles, recognizing that all Members endeavor honorably to serve the Nation and their constituents and to advance honestly held beliefs about what is best for the country, and that all must eventually reconcile their differences in the national interest.
