Look past the condom jar and see the real problem
Southern Cross Austereo's Perth boss Linda Wayman's comments on work-life balance and handing out condoms to staff have made international headlines. SheSays Sydney head Yasmin Quemard argues these issues don't just affect women, but the industry as a whole. My sole purpose in this response to yesterday's article is to reset the conversation. Firstly this is not a discussion around motherhood it is discussion around parenthood. This is not a female issue this is a people issue. People have babies. People bring up children. -
Falling TV audiences aren't the problem, fixed inventory is
As television audiences decline Carat's Paul Wilkinson asks if the problem is not so much falling audiences but rather the inventory model upon which free-to-air television is bought. Ok, let's not beat about the bush, let's rip off the plaster and talk honestly for a moment; TV viewing is down. There you go. I said it. Somehow I feel better for saying it. Phew! -
The lowdown on The Economist's APAC plans
The Economist's chief marketing officer Michael Brunt talks about how the brand is perceived in Asia, how digital is sold differently to print, why it will never budge on ratecard and why Australia is one of its best markets, in an interview with Mumbrella Asia editor Robin Hicks. So what's the plan to grow in Asia this year? Asia is incredibly important for us because of the way we classify our audience. -
Vain, deluded, indecisive, biased: this is the 'average' consumer
In this cross posting from The Conversation Paul Harrison of Deakin University looks at the problems posed by trying to define what the average consumer is. Who is the "typical" or "average" consumer? Is there such a thing? What do they look like? How do they make decisions? Am I an average (or perhaps a below average) consumer? It's something that comes up a lot in discussions around consumer protection, consumer advocacy, and regulation. Judges in consumer cases, for example, often ask whether the average person would understand their obligations in relation to a particular contract to which they have agreed. Similarly, cases related to the advertising of over-the-counter medicines, often rely on a judgment as to whether a typical consumer would understand the intentions of a particular advertisement. -
YouTube's branded content crackdown - what you need to know
In this guest post, Nick Fawbert highlights what YouTube's rules for branded content mean for advertisers and multi-channel networks. There was something of an inevitability about last week's dismay over YouTube's 'clarification' on the fees payable for branded content on YouTube's channels. No commercially viable major platform is likely to offer free access to valuable audiences in perpetuity. -
You'll struggle with the culture shift, Mat: The DNA of media buying is completely different to earned media
In this guest post, Anthony Freedman argues that media agencies will find it harder than they think to shift into public relations territory because it requires an entirely different culture. Like a lot of people, I noticed the coverage surrounding Mat Baxter's reveal of UM's new "Creative Connections Agency" positioning last week. It started with a piece in Mumbrella provocatively headlined "Media agencies aren't our competitors" and continued the following day after Mat was goaded into stating UM "won't be entering media agency awards any more". For anyone who didn't read the stories, the gist of it is this; UM is no longer a media agency, it's a 'connections company' that is embracing earned and owned media, and thus will herein compete with the likes of R/GA, Google and (closest to my heart) One Green Bean. -
Is content marketing myopic?
Amid the ongoing hype around content marketing Mark Yeow argues agencies and clients are getting too bogged down in the detail and need to look at content more broadly. Our industry's fixation on content marketing is keeping us from seeing the bigger picture. The power of content extends far beyond lead generation, conversion, and other measures of marketing ROI. It is, perhaps the critical ingredient of any brand – essential to the vision of any discipline involved in creativity or communication, and indicative of their healthiness and longevity. -
Why SVOD is the catalyst for a TV evolution
Streaming services have been getting a lot of headlines of late. OMD's Jeremy Gavin looks at what impact such services will have on evolving the television as a medium. The Netflix beast is a product of its environment. -
Curiosity killed the cat, not the creative
A curious mind is a prerequisite for being a creative. So why don't more youngsters entering the creative world ask questions asks Will Clark. As a junior creative one of the most powerful creative tools is already at your disposal. Curiosity can be a crucial tool when starting work in an industry you know very little about. After my first few years in advertising I have come to realise the full potential of being a curious creative. Fresh out of design college and AWARD school, I was ready to get stuck into the world of real briefs, real clients and real award potential. However I quickly discovered that the world of advertising is vastly different to the picture that we often paint in our minds before getting there. -
Will greyhound racing ever get back on track?
Following the expose of blooding and other practices in greyhound racing last week Damian Madden looks at what the sport needs to do to regain public trust. As an animal lover, and somebody who has been to the dog track occasionally, I was abhorred when I saw the Four Corner's footage earlier this week of greyhound trainers 'blooding' their dogs using live animals. Watching the fallout in the days that followed I began to wonder if greyhound racing could recover from this catastrophic blow. Has its brand been damaged beyond repair? -
How David Thodey helped restore Telstra's brand
Today David Thodey announced he is retiring as CEO of Telstra after five years in the role. Richard Curtis who worked with the telco during his time with Interbrand, explains Thodey's role in rebuilding one of Australia's biggest brands. Two experiences bookend recollections of my time working with Telstra, over a seven-year period in which I worked with three different marketing teams. "Didn't we do the brand last year?" was how one Telstra executive put it, somewhat taken aback by the idea that the Telstra brand might evolve, let alone have implications for his own business unit's activities. -
The data is in and Birdman will win the Best Picture Oscar
After predicting the winner of the Best Picture Oscar two years in a row using data Bryan Melmed puts his reputation on the line for a third time.
Our audience data and insights accurately predicted the best picture Oscar winner in 2013 and 2014. So it is possibly foolhardy to put our neck on the line again but as the saying goes, go hard or go home so I'm here to tell you that Birdman will win. Or at least this is what the data suggests. And here is why.
Doing work just to win awards? That's worth nothing
D&AD CEO Tim Lindsay argues scam is a disease and doing work to just win awards is worth nothing. You would expect us to say this, but it has been an exciting year at D&AD. With the help of the Glue Society, Google and others we've brought New Blood to Australian shores for the first time, launched our new NowCreate programme and forged new partnerships with creative organisations around the world – such as AWARD - to enable us to better support the global creative community. It has been a good year. However, as much as we'd like to focus on all the positives about our wonderful business, it's important we don't stick our head in the sand and ignore the more difficult stuff. -
Baxter buries the Big Boutique as UM reboots business model
UM is shifting its focus from being the Big Boutique to the Creative Connections Agency. CEO Mat Baxter and chief strategy officer Sophie Price sat down with Nic Christensen to explain why the new positioning is more than just semantic, how it has torn up its remuneration model and why the traditional media agency focus on paid media is broken. Say what you want about Mat Baxter, the iconoclastic CEO of UM knows how to generate a headline. -
Six tips for a watertight contract to help when ambassadors go off brand
Navigating celebrity ambassador agreements can be difficult, with several high profile agreements ending badly in recent years. Here Stephen von Muenster and his team give some tips on what to look out for when drafting the legal terms. Personalities who become brand ambassadors can be a powerful marketing tool for brands. From celebrities to social media influencers, they have the potential to make brands and products relatable and accessible, increasing exposure and successfully driving sales. Unfortunately for brands, their fairytale relationship with an ambassador doesn't always end happily ever after.

Views, wind patterns, and sunlight drove the design of this upside-down weekend house on Cape Cod. Architect Jim Estes and his clients opted to reuse the footprint of an existing home, making its split floor plan work to their advantage. "It allows the master bedroom and the guest bedrooms to be autonomous," Estes says.
He placed the home's most frequently used rooms on the upper level to capture ocean and meadow views. A shed roof protects the north side of the house from harsh winds, while opening up the southern and western ends for solar gain. Thermally efficient Kalwall panels on the northern exposure let in light without compromising privacy. And a two-story stairwell brings even more of the sun's rays into the heart of the building. "The house gets great light," one juror noted.
For all of the floor plan's openness, Estes also made sure to include some more-enclosed nooks and crannies, such as a sitting area at the top of the stairs. "It was about creating spaces here and there where people can get away," he explains.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Even with the rise of wrinkle-free fabrics and the decision to nix it as a Monopoly token, the clothes iron is holding its own.
Market research group Euromonitor International says U.S. iron sales are up nearly 3 percent overall from 2007 to 2012. And steam generator irons that make more steam than traditional ones and speed up the process experienced what the group called "enormous growth."
Plus, some people don't mind ironing. Kim Kalunian, of Rhode Island, irons nearly everything and says she finds the chore and the hiss of the steam therapeutic.
Online voters this week kicked the iron out of the iconic board game. It's being replaced by a cat.

Sweating is the release of liquid from the body's sweat glands. This liquid contains salt. This process is also called perspiration.
Sweating helps your body stay cool. Sweat is commonly found under the arms, on the feet, and on the palms of the hands.
The amount you sweat depends on how many sweat glands you have.
A person is born with about two to four million sweat glands. The glands start to become fully active during puberty. Women have more sweat glands then men, but men's glands are more active.
Sweating is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. This is the part of the nervous system that is not under your control. Sweating is the body's natural way of regulating temperature.
Things that can make you sweat more include:
Heavy sweating may also be a symptom of menopause .
After sweating a lot, you should:
Contact your health care provider if sweating occurs with:
These symptoms may indicate a problem, such as overactive thyroid or an infection.

A parathyroid biopsy is the removal of a small piece of a parathyroid gland for examination under a microscope. The parathyroid glands are found just behind the thyroid gland on each side of the neck.
Biopsy - parathyroid
There are two parathyroid glands on each side of the neck, making a total of four glands. The parathyroid glands cannot be felt with the hands.
A parathyroid biopsy is done while you are awake.
The tissue is sent to a laboratory, where it is examined under a microscope. The level of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in your blood will also be checked.
Tell your health care provider if you have any drug allergies or bleeding problems, or if you are pregnant.
Make sure the health care provider knows about all the medications you are taking, including any herbs or supplements. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any blood thinning medications (aspirin, heparin, Lovenox, warfarin), because you may have to stop taking them a few days before the procedure.
You must sign a consent form.
The test feels like a quick needle jab or stick. You may feel a sting as the needle is inserted into the gland. Most people do not need any pain medication.
The parathyroid glands release parathyroid hormone (PTH). This hormone controls the level of calcium in the body.
This procedure is most often done to rule out cancer as a cause of high parathyroid hormone levels.
It may also be done if an ultrasound exam shows a larger-than-normal parathyroid gland.
There is no swelling, hormone levels appear normal, and cells from the tissue sample are normal.
The test confirms that a parathyroid gland is enlarged if hormone levels are too high, or cells from the sample are abnormal. Abnormal PTH levels may also be a cause of hypercalcemia .
Abnormal results may be due to:
The main risks of the procedure are bruising and bleeding into or around the thyroid gland. If bleeding is severe, it may put pressure over the windpipe (trachea). This complication is rare.
In rare cases, some people develop temporary hoarseness when the nerve that runs close to the parathyroid glands is injured.
You can return to normal activities the same day.

XXIX, No. 14 BRYN MAWR and WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1945 Copyright Trustees of Bryn M-wr College, 1943 PRICE 10 CENTS Niebuhr Outlines Preparation for Post-War Peace Need for Christian Realism Stressed in Assembly On Peace Goodhart Hall, February ft.�In . an Undergraduate assembly on Unity in War and Peace Aims, Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr outlined the ne- cessity for "Christian Realism" in the post-war world in order to steer a course between extreme idealism and cynical realism. He enumer- ated the drawbacks of the "world federation" plans- formed by the idealists and the inadequacies of the "balance of power" proposi- tions made by the cynical realists. International responsibility on the part of the United Nations and the integration of these countries, such as advocated by Wendell Willkie, are, Dr. Niebuhr believes, the most hopeful points of depart- ure for peace plans. Dr. Niebuhr placed the leading schools of post-war theory into two main categories; idealism and historical realism. The idealists who propose an international fed- eration assume that a social con- tract can be established by an act of human will and that such a contract can mean peaceful inter- national government. This con- tinuation of the old social contract theory is historically incorrect be- cause of its dependence on the human will, according to Dr. Nie- buhr. An act of will can create an administration, but government depends on political prestige, which Continued on Page Four 100 Per Cent Pledging 100 per cent, the maids and porters were the first on campus to respond wholeheartedly to the War Chest Drive.

Denbigh�Hilda Green. Radnor�Grace Turner. Miss Taylor Elected To American Council of Learned Societies Miss Lily Ross Taylor, Dean of the. Graduate School, has been ap- pointed by the American Philo-" logical Society to the American Council of Learned Societies. She is the first woman ever to receive such an honor, breaking a 23-year precedent The Council includes delegates from most of the learned societies in the country, except those con- cerned with the natural sciences. Its function is the coordination of research work and publication in the humanities, especially in the fine arts. Miss Taylor has often dealt with the organization in connection with publications for the Philological Society, of which she was president last year. At present the most important work of the Council is its intensive language program, Miss Taylor says. It has imported native ex- perts in unusual languages and has introduced courses at various universities for the purpose of studying language in relation to the people and geography of a country. This program has been particular- ly successful at Yale.

There was a wide dif- ference of opinion, however, can- cerning post-war relations with both Allied and Axis nations. Opinion is widely split on the question of our future relations with the Axis nations�some peo- ple are in favor of "allowing the Poles and Czechs, etc., to handle the situation," while one student stated that "Hitler should have a life of dull, obscure imprisonment." One suggestion for Japan was that she be blown to Hell but not back again, or that the country be left in the hands of the Chinese, from Faculty Show On Saturday, February 2?, the faculty and staff will present their show, Standing Room Only, in Goodhart at 8:30, for the benefit of War Relief.

Pa*e Three Miss McBride States Full Use of Facilities First Aim of College Goodhart, February 4.�In the speech which opened the second semester of the 1942-3 year, Miss McBride said the "best use of re- sources" is the main problem to be considered by both College and Students. For the former this centers around its teaching pow- ers, while for the student she stressed the careful selection of a Major subject. A Major must be chosen in accordance with war de- mands, but also with the individu- al's own interest and ability. Miss McBride quote I from a letter from Miss Cornelia Meigs in Washing- ton in which she stated that: "no mind reaches its fullest develop- ment unless it has been trained in some of the fields that really be- Jong to it." There is strlr-a great need for women in natural science's, said Miss McBride, but there are higher priorities in the social sciences also. Their contribution is not a remote one, and graduates are in great demand in War Agencies. More responsibility is thvown on the new graduate than would have been in peace time. Miss McBride stated two reasons for maintaining work in the hu- manities. "This war is not solely technological, it is philosophical." The judgments of value given by the humanities, she said, "under- mine or support the progress of a civilized world." In addition to this, a respect for individual dif- ferences must be observed, and the Continued on Paise Three Seience, Religion and Philosophy Discussed by Flexner Lecturer Calendar Thursday, February 11 Spanish Club Tea.

College War Activity Discussed at Council Deanery, February I).�The\ Col- lege Council discussed the prob- lem of required assemblies as a war measure. The Alliance feels that there is not enough under- graduate interest in current prob- lems, and that therefore there should be fortnightly or weekly assemblies with compulsory attend- ance to arouse the students' atten- tion. Since it is always the same group of girls that attend such assemblies, the faculty feels that all students should be made to think about the problems of the world through some such scheme. The Alliance, in conjunction with the Faculty Defense Group, is trying to obtain a 100 per cent response to the United War Chest Drive from the students. 954 dol- lars have already been pledged by the Faculty, the maids and porters, and the groundsmen. It was noted that the five weeks' course in Home Economics h�s started and that the other defense courses are con- tinuing. j Survival of Ancient Gods in Middle Ages Discussed by Seznec, History of Art Lecture Room, i February II.�How and under what form the gods of antiquity sur- j vived was the subject of M. Jean Seznec's lecture entitled "La Sur- vivance des Dieux Antiques." The ancients did not really under- stand their gods. Only the poets and writers tried to grasp their nature. Three theories arose: one which conceive?! gods as human beings, historical persons whose lives had been great; another, the cosmic theory, saw them as forces of na-; ture such as the ocean or the sun; I and the thir I saw th^m as moral j allegories, representatives of vir-1 tue and vice. The Christian Church pies r c I the gods of antiquity beer,.:;' it couldn't do otherwise, said M. Sez- ; nee. History, morals, everything I was bound up in mythology. The Church thought to humble the gods j by dating them chronologically and i showing their descent from mor- ' tals. But such a synoptic table ' served only to entrench them firm- M. Seznec then spoke of them | as cosmic symbols. He showed a j Carolingian miniature which pic- ; tured the earth to be encircled first by planets, then by an outer circle of gods. It was enclosed in a sphere of astrologic influence. Man Continued on Page Five Dr. Erich Frank Describes Conflict Between Two Developments "In faith the true nature of man is revealed," stated Dr. Erich Frank in his lecture on The Suture of Man. This introductory lecture of the series in the Flexner lee-. tureahip entitled Philosophy and Religion, paralleled the struggle between science and religion with the struggle between philosophy and religion in man's search to know his true nature. As a result of the development of science, the attitude of the mod- ern person is one of detached skep- ticism. Psychology has proved that man is not master in his own ego, but is ruled by primitive in- stincts and natural laws. Yet the modern man feels if he develops his faculties he may overcome na- ture. He seeks his happiness in this world rather than the next, and his concepts are accordingly irreconcilable with those of re- ligion. Man considers himself superior to the forces of the universe which crush him because he is aware that the universe is crushing him and the universe is not aware. But man cannot learn his true nature Continued on Pace Flve Kazekevich Will Talk About Russia at War On Thursday evening, February 11, in the Music Room, the War Alliance will present a talk by Mr. Vladimir D. Kazekevich on What Makes Russia Fight. Mr. Kazekevich, a white Russian by birth, is at present lecturing on the Soviet Union, which he visited in 1935. He is on the editorial �faffs of Soviet Russia Today and -'re <��� a nil Society. Mr. Kaze- k'vich is an economist by profes- sion. He has lectured in Eco- nomics at Columbia University and has taught Money and Banking at the Wall Street Institute of Fi- nance. He was a member of the staff of a public works investiga- tion conducted by the National Bureau of Economic Research. Mr. Kazekevich also served on the staff of the corporation survey of the Twentieth Century Fund. Mr. Kazekevich is a collaborat- ing author of The Banking Situa- tion and The Economics of Infla- tion. Open House Rhoads will hold its first open house Saturday after- noon at 3 o'clock. All stu- dents and their friends are welcome. There will be op- portunity for informal danc- ing, ping-pong, and bridge. For an experimental few weeks, Rhoads will be open Saturdays and Sundays from 2 until 12. Students may sign out for "Rhoads and Soda Fountain" until 12:15. No permission is needed. From 10:30 P. M. until 12, a student will be at the front door to let people in. Rhoads residents are re- quested not to wear house- coats in the smoking room during these hours. Due to Investigations of Fortune Hunters, Self-Consciousness Rampant at Bryn Mawr By Mary Virginia More, '45 Would some power the gift would give us . . .; everyone is j entitled to his pet yearning, but this is one (it must be admitted) ; which has never especially oc- curred to us until quite recently� | until a certain refrain began to haunt our somewhat uneasy mind ! . . . to see ourselves as Fortune sees us ... as Fortune sees us . . . Not everyone realized the pres- ence on campus of Miss Katherine Ilamill. associate editor of For- ' tune, and Miss Mia Fritsch, re- ! search assistant. Students were on the whole surprised when sud- denly accosted with questions such as: What are your friends doing; Why? How is the male situation? Wfiat do you do for entertain- ment? What books do you read? The Fortune hunters lurked in the Bookshop, asking "What are you buying?" They explored the inner reaches of the Library, in- cluding the Dewey Decimal System of Classification. They lunched in the halls. They sat in the smok- ing rooms, eyeing the students sadly, wanting to know where and when the long shirt tails origi- nated. They quizzed professors from every department concerning the special and pertinent courses which have been added to the cur- riculum. They took an extensive poll of student opinion on various subjects. They investigated the extra-curricular war activities of the faculty members and students. Fortune's article on Bryn Mawr will appear in the April issue, with colored plates by Bernard La Motte, illustrator of St. Exupery's Flight to Arras. >

The Zodiac Milpro M9 – an Avon Redcrest Replacement
In late 2011 many UK boaters were disappointed when the long serving and much loved Avon Redcrest dingy was dropped from the Avon range of small tenders. The Zodiac Milpro M9 is a modern replacement for the Avon Redcrest. It is the only fully inflatable tender made only of Neoprene/Hyperlon.

Last week, CIA Director Leon Panetta -- nominated by Obama to succeed Robert Gates as defense secretary -- told House members during a closed-door briefing that Pakistan was "either involved or incompetent," according to two sources in attendance.
"We'll clearly be working with (Pakistani authorities) to understand how we got to this point," Donilon said. He stressed, however, that "more terrorists and extremists have been captured or killed (in Pakistan) than any other place in the world."

As everyone knows, Super Bowl Sunday is a time for hanging out with friends and family, enjoying great food, watching an okay game of football (depending on who's playing; I didn't particularly care for either teams this year), the half time performance, and last – but not least – the commercials! My family isn't a huge football family, but we usually watch the Super Bowl just because of everything else it entails. This year, Beyoncé KILLED the half-time show! I thought it was epic, and probably one of the better ones yet!
In particular, this year's commercials were a lot better than the ones prior. I don't necessarily look for the commercials that are the funniest or the most vulgar, but more over the one's that stand out to me. This year, Audi takes the cake for the "Best Commercial" in my opinion. I love Audi cars, personally, and this commercial was just really well done and was executed really nicely. Check it out here.
Another commercial I really liked was Jeep's Half-Time show ad, titled "Whole Again." This commercial was a nice piece leading from the half-time performance into commercials again, and it had a lot of meaning to go with it, too. Check it out here, too!

Newark's new Prudential Center relies on network-controlled Crown amplification
NEWARK, New Jersey - March 2008 -- As a brand new construction, the impressive Prudential Center in Newark represents the Tri-State's first major entertainment venue to be opened in 25 years. Costing a reported $375 million and boasting seating for 17,500+ patrons, the sports and entertainment venue most notably serves as the new home for the NHL New Jersey Devils and the Seton Hall Pirates basketball team, as well as hosts MISL indoor soccer, internationally-touring concerts, family shows, and many other special events.
When considering power and flexibility requirements, the venue's sound system design team ultimately elected to utilize Crown I-Tech and CTs Series amplifiers, controlled via Harman's HiQnet™ network, to amplify the various PA and ancillary loudspeaker systems. Pleased with the decision, Andy Prager, senior project engineer with Diversified Systems, the contracting firm responsible for the audio installation, is quick to point out that "the Crown systems sound remarkably good and have been 100 percent reliable."
Major audio and video areas for the new state-of-the-art venue were designed by Wrightson, Johnson, Haddon & Williams (WJHW), one of North America's premier consulting firms. According to Kevin Day, WJHW's sound system designer on the project, Crown amplifiers were selected for Prudential Center following the normal bid process. "They were one of two brands specified to set up a competitive bid scenario in the hopes of getting the best value for the owner," Day notes. Consequently, a total of 126 Crown I-Tech and CTs Series amplifiers equipped with PIP-Lite cards now power a variety of JBL loudspeakers installed throughout the venue. "The rack-mounted amplifiers are installed on a catwalk platform," Day explains, "to reduce cable runs and avoid the need for a dedicated cooling system, as would be required if the amps were located in a closet." The PA system comprises multiple JBL PD743 40x30-degree and PD764 60x40-degree MF/HF coaxial cabinets, along with PD7164 LF cabinets, plus ASM6128 dual-18 subwoofers arrayed in four large clusters that are mounted just above and outside the footprint of the center-hung video/scoring display.
"For each of the four JBL-equipped clusters, we supplied a total of four I-T4000s for the low-frequency and three I-T4000s for the subwoofer cabinets, while five CTs 1200s feed the midrange and five CTs 600s the high-frequency cabinets." A delay ring of JBL PD5212/64 20x40-degree loudspeakers is further powered by a rack of CTs 2000 amplifiers. The remainder of the CTs Series amplifiers power various full-range loudspeakers located within bars, lounges, meeting rooms and other locations, some on 70-volt systems.
Crown I-Tech Series power amplifiers feature integrated DSP, peak-voltage and RMS power limiting to protect connected loudspeakers, and remote monitoring and control via integral Harman HiQnet™, plus a front-panel LCD readout that provides diagnostics plus preset selection for fast and easy system setup. "Remote control and monitoring of all of the amplifier channels via HiQnet is a great bonus," stresses Prager. "Using a [Crown-developed] GUI we can set input and output levels and turn groups of amplification on and off. During different events at the Prudential Arena, the owners might decide to run different PA configurations, dependent upon the audience size and location within the space. Two redundant control PCs--one at the sound mixing location and the other within the equipment racks--allow operators to re-configure the entire system within seconds."
And there is another benefit of remote monitoring, the project engineer adds. "Aside from checking input and output levels via HiQnet, the operators can monitor load and thermal conditions--and see error-reporting messages--which means they can tell when a speaker is removed from the system. While stealing loudspeakers isn't foreseen as a major problem, it's a very useful feature!"
The Prudential Center officially opened in late-October with a ten-night concert series headlined by hometown favorites Bon Jovi along with special guests My Chemical Romance, Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson, Chris Daughtry and All-American Rejects. The venue, which is managed by AEG Live and features 76 luxury suites, 2,200 club seats, and an array of amenities, drew more than 150,000 fans during its opening week.

Taking another crack at the economic nutshell
Published on -8/21/2013, 9:58 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
By SHAWN P. MITCHELL
I'm writing in response to the July 26 column, "Taking a crack at the economic nutshell," by Mary Hart-Detrixhe. As the president and CEO of the Community Bankers Association of Kansas, I work on behalf of the state's community banks and know all too well the troubles they face when it comes to regulatory burden.
Believe me, when a community bank has to spend more on onerous and redundant compliance it has less time and resources to spend on what our local community needs it to do most -- lend. This, in turn, hurts our local economies right here at home. This isn't Wall Street we're talking about; it's Main Street -- the local cities and town squares that I and other residents across this great state know and love.
It's important to note that community banks are the largest supplier of small-business loans throughout the entire country, in Kansas and throughout the Hays area. Those Kansas employers that are growing, adding jobs and helping local economies grow need access to credit from their local community bank, which is a small business itself. When you attack the local community bank you are also attacking a local small business. Fortunately, Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., gets this and has introduced the Community Lending Enhancement and Regulatory Relief Act of 2013 (CLEAR Act), S. 1349, along with Sens. Jon Tester, D-Mont., and Mark Kirk, R-Ill. This legislation aims to change this trend.
Notably, this is a bipartisan effort and is focused on community banks who's owners and employees live and work and worship in the same communities with their customers. The bill advances provisions in the Independent Community Bankers of America's Plan for Prosperity legislative platform to promote a regulatory environment that will help community banks to continue serving their communities.
In responding to the July 26 piece, it's important to recognize that community banks are being forced to pay for the sins of Wall Street in the form of grossly increased regulatory burden. Large banks have extensive resources to deal with more regulations--the community bank down the street doesn't have that luxury.
That's exactly why Sen. Moran's CLEAR Act would go a long way to help. It targets key elements of community banks' regulatory burdens, including:
* Exempting community bank portfolio loans from a variety of new mortgage rules to support the housing recovery. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regulations released this year threaten to drive this stabilizing force from the housing market. The rules establish new underwriting standards for determining a consumer's ability to repay a mortgage loan. The problem is that by setting a narrow or temporary definition of the "qualified mortgages" that are exempt from the new regulations, government rule-writers could force many community banks to exit the residential mortgage market, leaving potential homebuyers in the lurch.
The CLEAR Act would provide "qualified mortgage" status for community bank mortgages held in portfolio for at least three years--loans in which community banks have a vested interest in succeeding. The bill would also exempt community bank mortgages held in portfolio from rules requiring banks to set aside funds for taxes and insurance in escrow accounts for higher-priced mortgages. Maintaining these escrow accounts would be a costly and impractical burden for community banks. Making these accounts optional for smaller institutions will allow community banks to better serve consumers who need mortgage credit.
* Supporting additional capital opportunities for small bank holding companies. Policymakers should learn from and expand on the kinds of regulations that distinguish between community banks and larger financial institutions. The Federal Reserve already exempts smaller institutions from some of its more onerous and complicated capital rules. The agency's Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement applies simpler rules to institutions with $500 million or less in assets. Expanding that threshold to $5 billion for institutions that pass debt-related tests and that do not engage in nonbanking financial activities would reduce regulatory burdens for more Main Street community banks and provide them with broader capital-raising options without posing new risks. This step would build on the increasingly tiered regulatory system that recognizes community banks should be subject to less complex rules than larger institutions.
* Providing exemptions for community banks from Sarbanes-Oxley Act internal-controls assessment mandates. While the Sarbanes-Oxley act was designed to improve the accuracy and reliability of disclosures provided by public companies, it failed to account for its own potential impact on small public companies. Requiring outside auditors to attest to the internal controls of publicly held companies poses outsized burdens and costs on Main Street institutions that cannot access or afford these reviews. Because community banks have their internal control systems continually monitored by bank examiners, they should not have to sustain the unnecessary and redundant expense of paying an outside audit firm to prepare these reports. Sarbanes-Oxley did recognize the potential impact of this provision on small institutions by establishing a permanent exemption for companies with a market capitalization of less than $75 million. The problem is that this exempts virtually no one. Raising that threshold to include more community banks--as the CLEAR Act would do--would ensure these rules protect the kinds of institutions that keep Main Street in business.
All of this is a step in the right direction for our communities here in Kansas. I want to thank Sen. Moran for his support in introducing this bipartisan legislation.
The Community Bankers Association of Kansas will continue to advocate for it, especially as the issue heats up again this fall when Congress is back to work in Washington.
Shawn P. Mitchell is president and CEO of the Community Bankers Association of Kansas in Topeka.

Udon Noodles
I have been wanting to try making my own pasta for a long time now. This week is the 1 year anniversary of the Presto Pasta Nights roundups at Once Upon a Feast and I thought what better time to try? I do not have a pasta maker so I would have to make a pretty simple pasta and luckily I had come across one. Japanese udon noodles which are thick wheat based noodles, fit the bill perfectly. The udon noodles are nice and thick so you do not need a pasta maker to get them thin enough.
The ingredient list for udon noodles is pretty simple, just flour, water and a bit of salt. The recipe is pretty easy to follow though it required a bit of muscle and effort to knead and roll the dough. I used Harumi Kurihara's suggestion from Harumi's Japanese Home Cooking to step on the dough. It made making the dough a bit more fun and it was definitely easier to let my weight and gravity do the work of rolling the dough out for me. The dough came together pretty easily. It requires a few hours of resting so it might be best to do this on a weekend. The dough ended up being nice and smooth and chewy.
I decided to use the udon noodles in a soup with a really simple dashi and mentsuyu broth. The udon noodles took a while to cook as they were so thick but they turned out pretty good. The udon noodles had a really great chewy texture. I garnished the udon soup simply with green onions and togarashi. Togarashi is a chili powder condiment commonly used in Japan with a few extras like sesame seeds.
Overall I was pretty pleased with the home made udon noodles. I will be keeping an eye out for a good price on a pasta maker so that I can try making more kinds of pasta at home.
1 tsp salt
2/3 cup water
2 1/2 cups flour
1. Dissolve the salt into the water.
2. Mix the water into the flour in a large bowl.
3. Knead the dough for 10 minutes.
4. Place the dough into a freezer bag and step on it to flatten it with shoes off.
5. Remove the dough from the plastic bag and roll it out.
6. Fold the dough in half.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 a few times.
8. Let the dough rest for a few hours.
9. Roll the dough out until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
10. Fold the dough 2 or three times and slice into thin strips.
11. Cook the noodles in boiling water for about 10 minutes.

This is my first time posting here, so allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Ryan joseph Rodriguez, but you can call me the New Era Outlaw! I'm a 22 year old male, hailing from the island of Trinidad, and am currently a student at the world's most teeth-grinding school in existence, the School of Accounting and Management.
I'm also an artist, and I draw nearly every opportunity I have.
You can check out my site at http://neweraoutlaw.ultra-gamers.com to see some of my art, but, unfortunately, it's down at the moment.
I'll probably post some of my work in the future, if it's okay with the moderators in here.
Anyway, I'm a really big fan of bleedman's work....that man makes every single thing he draws, from the Powerpuff Girls to Tootie from Fairly Oddparents, reek of awesomeness. I especially like how he pays attention to detail in every single thing he draws. Oh, how I envy him so.
Ah, well. To Mr. Dave, I tip my hat to you as well, your comics are damn funny, right up there with the best of them. You sir, have earned my respect, with your comics, and the generousity to give the PPG Doujinshi a home. I salute you!
Anyhoo, it's great to be here on the forums.
Hope to chat with you guys soon.
Adios, amigos....
