96/750/JHA: Joint Action of 17 December 1996 adopted by the Council on the basis of Article K.3 of the Treaty on European Union concerning the approximation of the laws and practices of the Member States of the European Union to combat drug addiction and to prevent and combat illegal drug trafficking
Official Journal L 342 , 31/12/1996 P. 0006 - 0008
JOINT ACTION of 17 December 1996 adopted by the Council on the basis of Article K.3 of the Treaty on European Union concerning the approximation of the laws and practices of the Member States of the European Union to combat drug addiction and to prevent and combat illegal drug trafficking (96/750/JHA) THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Articles K.1 (4) and K.3 (2) (b) thereof, Having regard to the French initiative, Recalling that the Cannes European Council, of 26 and 27 June 1995, approved the work relating to the European action plan to combat drugs (1996 to 1999) and recognized the need for an integrated approach in this area; Recalling that the Madrid European Council, of 15 and 16 December 1995, approved the report from the group of experts on 'Drugs` and that some of its 66 proposals have already been converted into precise, coordinated operational activities within the European Union, in accordance with the European Council's instructions; Recalling that the European Council also invited the Italian and Irish Presidencies to prepare, after consultation of the Member States, the Commission, the Europol Drugs Unit and the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, a programme of activities which took account of that report, progress with which would be examined at the Dublin European Council on 13 and 14 December 1996; Considering that the Florence European Council on 21 and 22 June 1996 stressed the vital importance of reinforced cooperation between Member States to fight against drugs; Considering that the same European Council restated the importance of speedily completing the study on harmonization of Member States' laws and its impact on reducing consumption of and illicit trafficking in drugs; Taking note of the report on harmonization of national legislation on drugs as requested by the Madrid and Florence European Councils; Recalling the priority attached by the Irish Presidency to the fight against drugs, and the initiatives taken further to the instructions of the Madrid and Florence European Councils to give it a specific content, and in particular the Council resolution on sentencing for serious drug trafficking; Considering that Member States fulfil their obligations under the United Nations Conventions of 1961, 1971 and 1988 and that they will examine ways of making strict compliance with those Conventions more effective, in particular by helping third countries to fulfil their obligations; Considering that Member States reaffirm their common determination to put an end to illegal drug trafficking in order to protect society from its devastating effects and from the other deep-seated causes of the problem of drug abuse, in particular the illegal demand for drugs and the enormous profits from the illegal trade, and that an approximation of laws and practices designed to render cooperation more effective would be a positive contribution to that objective; Noting the memorandum 'On a European social model` submitted by France at the Turin European Council on 29 March 1996, advocating harmonization of national legislation on combating drugs; Considering the dangers inherent in the development of synthetic drugs; Considering that the report on harmonization drawn up by the Council and the Commission in response to the aforementioned instructions recognizes that synthetic drugs might constitute a priority area for putting the report into practice; Considering that, in the absence of harmonized legislation, mutually compatible practices would reinforce European cooperation in fighting drug addiction and in preventing and combating illegal drug trafficking; Considering that a high level of European and international cooperation between police, customs services and judicial authorities would help to increase the efficiency of the fight against drug trafficking; Considering that the fight against drug trafficking must be combined with an active policy of prevention, care and rehabilitation of drug addicts; Noting the Community action programme on the prevention of drug dependence and in particular the fifteen priority actions which it contains; Considering that the provisions of this joint action are without prejudice to the general principle that a Member State may maintain or step up its national policy in the fight against drugs in its territory; Without prejudice to the powers of the Community, HAS ADOPTED THIS JOINT ACTION: Article 1 Member States shall undertake to cooperate fully in the fight against drug addiction and shall endeavour to approximate their laws to make them mutually compatible to the extent necessary to prevent and combat illegal drug trafficking in the Union. Article 2 Member States shall endeavour to make the practices of their police, customs services and judicial authorities more compatible with each other, thus making for closer European cooperation to prevent and combat illegal drug trafficking in the Union. Article 3 Member States shall undertake to combat illicit movements of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances within the Community, including 'drug tourism`. Article 4 Member States shall ensure that under their legal systems the penalties imposed for serious drug trafficking are among the most severe penalties available for crimes of comparable gravity. Article 5 Member States shall endeavour to draft convergent legislation to the extent necessary to make up legal ground or fill legal vacuums as regards synthetic drugs. In particular they shall promote the establishment of a rapid information system to enable such drugs to be identified as substances liable to be prohibited as soon as they appear anywhere in a Member State. Article 6 Without prejudice to the powers of the Community, Member States shall undertake to adopt the necessary measures to effect a tangible increase in operational cooperation between police, customs services and judicial authorities in combating drug addiction and preventing and combating illegal drug trafficking. Article 7 Member States shall ensure that their obligations under the United Nations Conventions on narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances of 1961, 1971, and 1988 are applied strictly and effectively. Article 8 Member States undertake to take the most appropriate steps to combat the illicit cultivation of plants containing active ingredients with narcotic properties. Article 9 Member States undertake, subject to their constitutional principles and the basic concepts of their legal systems, to make it an offence publicly and intentionally to incite or induce others, by any means, to commit offences of illicit use or production of narcotic drugs. They shall be especially vigilant as regards the use made of on-line data services and in particular the Internet. Article 10 Nothing in this joint action shall prevent a Member State, with due regard for its international commitments, from maintaining or introducing in its territory any additional measure it deems appropriate to fight drug addiction and to prevent and combat illicit drug trafficking. Article 11 The Governments of the Member States shall undertake to take all appropriate steps to implement this joint action as soon as it is adopted. The Presidency shall report to the Council each year on the implementation of this joint action. Article 12 This joint action shall come into force on the day of its adoption. Article 13 This joint action shall be published in the Official Journal. Done at Brussels, 17 December 1996. For the Council The President I. YATES

Heidi Montag: The Superficial Music Video
by Free Britney at .Get ready for the Superficial side of Heidi Montag.
We know, that's the only size she has. This is a girl who values nothing but excess, fame, wealth and vanity (via unintentionally hilarious fake boobs).
For some reason, the 'Tag continues to work toward a music "career," and her latest contribution to that field is this hot music video for "Superficial."
That's the title track from her album. If you're one of the eight people who own it, we pity you. Unless it was a gag gift from someone, then awesome.
"This is real footage we've collected over the years," Heidi told People of the video. "I'm a reality star and wanted to bring that into my music video."
Right, the home movie look is to make it authentic. Or because no one would film a legit video for this and Spencer Pratt made it on PowerPoint. Details.
"Someone like Lady Gaga has to fake paparazzi for her video and create that whole world but that's the real life I live," Heidi adds. "That's my reality. "
Someone like Lady Gaga has actual talent, too. With that often comes music that actually sells and videos with actual budgets to promote it. Crazy!
Tell us, what did you think of Heidi's video?

my silent had a body part oucedtirn in Egypt, very cheap. its cost about 5000 Egyptian pounds which is same 600 pounds. so you should pair ! but i recommend going to the best place you can find. private hospitals and doctors. they volition offer you the best and it faculty lifeless be heaps cheaper than the UK!lol kinda bad to assume that Egyptian doctors are bad simply they're actually not. trust ME i have family there and i go nearby all the time. they r fully trained and in case things go wrong, there is always help. private hospitals are vastly cheap and they offer the quality care. just because they r not skilled in the us, doesn't mean they are not as equipped or even more.
She sounds like a Britney Spears impersonator. Sam I totally agree with your comment. Kody, I would have to say he's in it so much cause he seems to call all of the shots. I love how she's saying that people think she's superficial yet the video shows she is. The saddest clips were the ones of her in the hospital. It amazes me that such a young girl would physically and willingly put herself under the knife like that on purpose. It's also sad that she had a body and face created by God yet doesn't like it and is willing to have man scult a new one. That's messed up.

On May 2, 2011, Volcom agreed to join the French luxury group PPR, owner of world-famous, iconic brands such as Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Bottega Veneta, and the lifestyle brand PUMA.
The appearance of the "Youth Against Establishment," boards sports and apparel brand in a portfolio of brands targeted at more mature customers may seem surprising. However, it already promises a huge potential of synergies betwee PPR, PUMA, and Volcom, from footwear to fashion. And in many ways it bears similarities to Nike's acquisition of Hurley in 2002.
But the most interesting piece of the acquisition is surely the youth content and what it should deliver in terms of influence and presence. Though Volcom's 2010 revenue was less than a tenth of PUMA's revenue, it outpaces PUMA's presence in other ways – for example, with approximately 1.3 million fans on Facebook, it has the lead on PUMA (with 4.7 million fans) by 27 percent.
Why? Because Volcom speaks to skateboarders, snowboarders, and surfers in a unique tone and voice. The brand mixes rock, trash, and punk content with extreme sports and board sports. For years, the brand has been admired for its consistency and its ability to embrace skate, surf, and snowboard under one brand – a very specific lifestyle that speaks directly to younger audiences.
While today, the Volcom brand doesn't achieve the same level of business as PUMA, it seems clear that the owners are aiming to preserve its authenticity, protect and enhance its brand relevance, and also improve its operational efficiency. PPR's acquisition definitely represents a turning point for the board sports industry – and for Volcom.

Designer Reverse-Engineers Face-Detection Tech to Develop Camouflage Makeup
And I ran, I ran so far away ...
Face-recognition technology is already helping surveillance cameras pick out individual faces of suspects, and even smartphone apps may soon allow you to ID strangers on the street. Future lovers who want a bit more privacy could soon paint on anti-face-recognition camo that protects against such electronic eye intrusions.
Adam Harvey, a designer and technologist with NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program, has begun reverse-engineering algorithms behind face detection. He generated a series of blocky images that could become the "building blocks of anti-surveillance makeup," and focused on the simplest yet most important patterns for foiling the face-recognition tech.
Some patterns that successfully hid faces from detection are surprisingly small, Harvey notes. Those included a few patches scattered primarily around the eye region, whereas larger beard-like patterns sometimes ended up being detected.
Of course, walking around with such face paint on might raise an eyebrow or two among human observers anyway, unless you claim to be an Avatar fanboy or fangirl. You can also go with the alternate excuses of citing Blade Runner or Flock of Seagulls as inspiration for the makeup. Children of the '80s unite!

After all this time that technology reports have been telling us new ways that our privacy could be chipped away...this is a ray of good news. But I wouldn't use them myself.
I can see people getting tattoos like these in the future but I can also see a problem is with escalation. If they were able to reverse engineer the ability for the computers to match our faces then what's going to stop programmers from finding a way to compensate for this?
Conspiracy Theorist: HA! Those S.O.B.s in the government will never even know im there !!! This will so totally confuse the face recognition software !!!!
Friend: Um....yeah, about that......You know you stick out like a clown at a funeral to ACTUAL people though, right?
If you're gonna go to all that trouble, why not just go full camo paint patterns?
They teach this stuff in basic training...like how to put tiger stripes on your face to confuse even the best human face detector known to man: the human brain.
If a skilled marksman can't detect your face, a computer with the most rudimentary of detection abilities won't be able to either.
If I were to design a system of recognition, I would pick points on the face that don't change. That would include the inside and outside corners of the eyes, the tip of the nose, the distance between the outsides of the nostrils, the top of the upper lip, corners of the lips when not smiling or frowning, the center of the bottom of the lower lip, and the bottom of the chin.
In profile there would be other points. A line would be drawn between each point and every other point. One of the distances would be given a value of 1, such as between the outer corners of the eyes. All other distances would be measured as a percentage of that. That would be translated into a list of numbers, which would then become a code that would be compared to other such lists.
The problem with facial recognition systems is based off of mathematical measurements of the human face.
Alto there is a basic measurement known to an artist whenever they draw a portrait but still there are variances that distinguish a difference from one face to another.
Facial recognition systems will never be perfected until they catalog the entire DNA genetic mapping of every human that ever lived, which facial recognition systems technology would be most useful to do.
I theorize that the reasons of why we have a twin look-a-like somewhere else in this world is because humans are in groups of species that characterize traits of abilities, adaptations and survival.
Maybe one of these days, we will be able use facial recognition systems to identify diseases and illness in a person before it begins to happen or be able to identify your best traits in your skills and your chances to succeed in life.
As far as the usage of facial recognition systems, let's not get off on the wrong foot with using it to curtail the criminal activities of humans.
Facial recognition systems can do a lot more then that!
Several potential pitfalls here, I've been watching face-recognition tech since it's early days of "production" usage, the most obvious pitfall is this article seems focused only on "visible" image detection.
What I mean is if passively scanning a series of visible light photos or video captures for recognized faces, this technique might work fine to avoid detection.
However most higher-end recognition systems are very aware of potential optical camouflage techniques, and use either IR or "sonar/radar-based" (bounce sound or radio waves off and generate a topography map of your features) identification methods instead of "visible light" scanning. It's very hard to hide your image in the IR or other EM spectrums for more than a few seconds with any sort of makeup, and a thin cloth (veil for instance) isn't a protection either in such instances.
However for casual optical scans (what would be most common/widespread/cheap), these tricks can definitely work.

Educational/Career Planning
With the help of our program counselor, students are able plan their academic and/or career goals and complete an Individual education plan (IEP).

IEP's are also designed to ensure that those goals are met in an organized and timely manner.
The FasTrack program offers various workshops designed for student personal growth and academic development.

Were getting ready for winter break folks but this episode was the perfect finale to what has been a fantastic fall for our beloved ER I have always enjoyed the holiday-themed episodes and tonight was no exception While this one probably wouldnt rank up there with some of the classic Christmases in the ER in my book remember the one where Jeannie Boulet put her star on top of the ER Christmas tree it did have the distinction of featuring Goran Visnjic dressed as a reindeer Just when I thought Luka couldnt get any more adorable I am proven wrong Despite a healthy dose of romances old and new it wasnt all mistletoe and merriment Luka and Abby learned that Ames filed a restraining order after their confrontation The conversation that Luka and Abby had in the apartment was very telling When Abby talked about being afraid of losing what they have she encapsulated in just a few words the concerns of all the viewers who care so much about the happ read more

Lillian Grace Alley
As the sun rose on Easter morning, Lillian Grace Alley answered our Lord's call home.
Lillian G. Russell Alley passed away Sunday, April 4, 2010 in Sequim, WA. She was born April 15, 1910 and went to school in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Lillian was the middle child of 5 children. She worked in Pagosa Springs at a bank until she married Arthur Alley in 1931. They had 2 children, Yvonne and Jack.
Arthur worked for the U.S. Forest Service and the family lived in Red Feather Lakes east of Denver, Colorado. In 1939 they moved to Sandpoint Idaho where they raised their family. Lillian worked at the local co-op as the head bookkeeper.
In 1961 she and Arthur moved to Everett, WA where she worked at United Good Way and Chaffee's Women's apparel until her retirement in 1971.
After Arthur's death in 1979, Lillian moved to Wesley Terrace in Des Moines, WA. In 2007 Lillian moved to Sequim with her daughter, Yvonne and son-in-law Jim.
Lillian gave her life to God in her early years and the Lord became her daily focus. She had a great love for the Lord, her family and her friends. Lillian was preceded in death by her husband Arthur and a grandson Brian Alley. She is survived by her daughter Yvonne (Jim) Henry, son Jack (Deanna) Alley, Spokane, 5 grand children, Ronald Henry, Dusty (Laurie) Henry, Sherry (Charlie) Donald, Brett Alley, Shawn Alley. Great-grandchildren, Jason (Ash) Donald, Kendall Henry, Kevin Donald, Michelle Henry, Lacey (Brent) Lovell and a great-great-grandchild due in August, along with many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and nephews whom all remained close throughout the years.
passed away quietly "if you can believe that" on March 29, 2010 surrounded by his loving children, Greg, Gail, and Gwen.
He was born to William R. Gohsman and Anne Meyer on January 22, 1926. Goz pursued his love of airplanes enlisting in the Army Air Force during WW2 as a B17G Tail Gunner in Squadron A 307 AAF BU flying combat missions over Germany while based in Lavinum, England. Goz, among other ribbons and Theater medals, was awarded the Bronze Battle Star. Upon being honorably discharged, he attended St. Louis University earning his pilot's license and BS in Aeronautical Engineering. Later in life he changed careers to sell insurance for Family Life and was recognized with "Rookie of the Year." Goz continued his sales career for 20 years with Travel Info Centers, Radio, The Gazette, and Peninsula Daily News. Bill also produced the "50 Something" insert for the paper.
He loved to tell a story and make people laugh. He would often say, "Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone."
Bill married the love of his life Dorothy on Dec 30th, 1950, and often said "he was lucky to have married the right girl." When asked how he was married so long, Bill shared "I sat Dorothy down and said "I am the man of the house and will make all the big decisions, Dorothy, as the woman, you make all the small decisions." After 59 years they just never had any Big decisions.
He is survived by Dorothy, their 3 children, Greg and wife Celene of Cle Elum, Gail of Seattle, and Gwen of Issaquah, and 3 grand-children, Jivan, Joel, and Geri. Bill is also survived by his brother Robert of Milwaukee, WI.
A Rosary will be held 7p.m. April 16th, at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Sequim, WA, a memorial Mass at 1p.m. April 17th, and a Celebration of Life at 3p.m., at the SunLand Golf and Country Club, 109 Hilltop Drive, Sequim WA, 98382.

Transfection | Human |
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa cells, transfected with 100 nM SignalSilence® Control siRNA (Unconjugated) #6568 (-), SignalSilence® EGF Receptor siRNA I (+) or SignalSilence® EGF Receptor siRNA II #6482 (+), using EGF Receptor (D38B1) XP® Rabbit mAb #4267 and α-Tubulin (11H10) Rabbit mAb #2125. The EGF Receptor (D38B1) XP® Rabbit mAb confirms silencing of EGF Receptor expression, while the α-Tubulin (11H10) Rabbit mAb was used to control for loading and specificity of EGF Receptor siRNA.
SignalSilence® EGF Receptor siRNA I from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) allows the researcher to specifically inhibit EGF Receptor expression using RNA interference, a method whereby gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. All SignalSilence® siRNA products are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce protein expression in specified cell lines.
Quality Control
Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.
Directions For Use
CST recommends transfection with 100 nM EGF Receptor siRNA 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. For transfection procedure, follow protocol provided by the transfection reagent manufacturer. Please feel free to contact CST with any questions on use.
Each vial contains the equivalent of 100 transfections, which corresponds to a final siRNA concentration of 100 nM per transfection in a 24-well plate with a total volume of 300 μl per well.
The epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase that belongs to the HER/ErbB protein family. Ligand binding results in receptor dimerization, autophosphorylation, activation of downstream signaling, internalization, and lysosomal degradation (1,2). Phosphorylation of EGF receptor (EGFR) at Tyr845 in the kinase domain is implicated in stabilizing the activation loop, maintaining the active state enzyme, and providing a binding surface for substrate proteins (3,4). c-Src is involved in phosphorylation of EGFR at Tyr845 (5). The SH2 domain of PLCγ binds at phospho-Tyr992, resulting in activation of PLCγ-mediated downstream signaling (6). Phosphorylation of EGFR at Tyr1045 creates a major docking site for the adaptor protein c-Cbl, leading to receptor ubiquitination and degradation following EGFR activation (7,8). The GRB2 adaptor protein binds activated EGFR at phospho-Tyr1068 (9). A pair of phosphorylated EGFR residues (Tyr1148 and Tyr1173) provide a docking site for the Shc scaffold protein, with both sites involved in MAP kinase signaling activation (2). Phosphorylation of EGFR at specific serine and threonine residues attenuates EGFR kinase activity. EGFR carboxy-terminal residues Ser1046 and Ser1047 are phosphorylated by CaM kinase II; mutation of either of these serines results in upregulated EGFR tyrosine autophosphorylation (10).

I think I must buy this CD.
little messages in booklet
I found a little message explaining each song on every song page of the liner notes (for example, YOLO = "with a hundred ways to do a dozen things, why not try it all?") except for electricityscape, any ideas? has anyone else found it?
Replies for this Forum Topic
How about the "red light" liner The best solutions are often simple,yet unexpected.
ah! thank you! I thought it might be in there, because that was the thing out of the ordinary on the page, but I guess I was looking at it for too long, y'know?
so yeah, thanks =)
the message is in the little rectangle with the blue numbers. turn the booklet upside down and it says "no one leaves an old friend unless they are ashamed"

Congress created the Bank System in 1932 to provide a credit source for thrift institutions that were engaged in home mortgage lending. Membership in the Bank System, which offers access to economical wholesale credit and technical assistance, currently exceeds 8,000 financial institutions, and includes commercial banks, credit unions, and insurance companies, in addition to thrift institutions.
The Banks are privately capitalized government sponsored enterprises -- they receive no taxpayer funding and raise their funds by issuing debt instruments in the capital markets. Each Bank is a separate entity with its own management and board of directors. The members of each Bank elect a majority of its board of directors, while the Finance Board appoints the remaining directors. The board of directors manages a Bank in substantially the same manner as the board of a private corporation and is subject to the same general fiduciary duties of care and loyalty to which the board of a state-chartered business or banking corporation is subject. Unlike the directors of state-chartered corporations, Bank directors have duties, responsibilities, and privileges that derive from the Bank Act and Finance Board regulations.
Each Bank is established in accordance with Federal law to further public policy, and its statutory powers and purposes are not subject to change except by the Congress. Bank directors are responsible for managing the Bank to achieve the statutorily-mandated objectives of operating in a financially safe and sound manner, promoting housing finance and community lending, paying a portion of the interest on obligations of the Resolution Funding Corporation (REFCORP) (which financed the resolution of an earlier savings and loan crisis), and contributing to the Bank System's Affordable Housing Program. The System consists of 12 congressionally chartered district banks located in the following cities, each of which operates within its own multi-state district:
1. Atlanta: Alabama, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia
2. Boston: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont
3. Chicago: Illinois, Wisconsin
4. Cincinnati: Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee
5. Dallas: Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Texas
6. Des Moines: Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota
7. Indianapolis: Indiana, Michigan
8. New York: New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands
9. Pittsburgh: Delaware, Pennsylvania, West Virginia
10. San Francisco: Arizona, California, Nevada
11. Seattle: Alaska, American Samoa, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Northern Mariana Islands, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming
12. Topeka: Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma
Each Bank is managed by a board of directors that consists of directors chosen by the Bank members in elections and directors appointed by the Finance Board. All Bank directors generally serve staggered three-year terms of office.
ELECTED DIRECTORS The Bank members choose the elected directors through an annual voting process administered by the Bank. The elective directorships are allocated among the states in each Bank's district, and the elections are conducted on a state-by-state basis. To be eligible to serve as an elected director, an individual must be either an officer or director of a member that maintains its principal place of business within the Bank district. The member with which each elected director is associated must meet its minimum regulatory capital requirements at all times.
The Bank members choose the elected directors through an annual voting process administered by the Bank.

To be eligible to serve as an elected director, an individual must be either an officer or director of a member that maintains its principal place of business within the Bank district. The member with which each elected director is associated must meet its minimum regulatory capital requirements at all times.
The Finance Board appoints members of the Bank's board of directors to represent the public's interests and fulfill other fiduciary duties of a board member. An individual must satisfy certain statutory requirements in order to be eligible for appointment. Appointed Bank directors must be United States citizens and have either their permanent residence or a secondary residence and employment nexus in a state within the Bank's geographic district. At least two of the appointed directors, known as community interest directors, must come from organizations with more than a two-year history of representing consumer or community interests on banking services, credit needs, housing, or financial consumer protections. During their term of office, appointed directors may not: (1) serve as an officer of any Bank; (2) serve as an officer or director of any member of the Bank they serve; or (3) hold shares of stock or any other financial interest in any member of the Bank they serve.
Each Bank's board of directors as a whole should possess these core competencies:
Leadership: The ability to empower and motivate senior management and staff.
Business Judgment: The ability to understand and apply best management practices in the banking and housing industries.
Strategic Vision: The skill and capacity to provide strategic insight and direction by encouraging innovation, conceptualizing key trends, evaluating strategic decisions, and continually leading the Bank toward achieving its statutory mission in a safe and sound manner.
Risk Management: Experience in financial, operational, political, and reputation risk management.
Accounting and Finance: Expertise in accounting and corporate finance to protect and enhance shareholder value through corporate performance and adequate internal controls.
Industry Knowledge: In-depth industry-specific knowledge in relevant fields, including housing, community/economic development, banking, and capital markets.
Crisis Response: The ability to provide leadership during periods of crisis.
Each Bank director should exhibit:
Integrity and Accountability: Character is a key consideration in evaluating any prospective Bank director. Directors must have high ethical standards and integrity in their personal and professional dealings. Directors must be willing to act on and remain accountable for their boardroom decisions.
Confidence/Leadership Experience: Directors should be experienced in management or policy-making in one or more fields of business, government, education, or community/civic affairs. Directors should approach others with self assurance while valuing board and team performance over individual performance. Directors must ask appropriate questions of management in a manner that encourages open discussions and resolution of issues.
History of Achievement: Directors should have a history of high achievement in their chosen fields. Directors must be willing to undertake the time commitment that is necessary to serve effectively on the board of a Bank, including attending board and committee meetings and devoting sufficient time to prepare for those meetings.
Informed Judgment: Directors are expected to provide wise, thoughtful counsel on a wide range of issues. Directors should have a record of making sound business judgments at other organizations as directors or senior management officials. Directors should be able to comprehend new concepts quickly.
Financial Literacy: Directors should be financially literate. Directors should know how to read a financial statement, understand financial ratios, and have a working familiarity with finance and accounting practices, including internal control and risk management.
Political Awareness: Directors should possess an awareness of the political environment in which they will perform their duties.

Tubemote brings its remote controls to other sites
"We just released an API!" are usually words that make my brain glaze over like a Krispy Kreme doughnut. But in the case of Tubemote, which now has its own API, there's some very neat stuff going on behind the scenes that turns the Web-based remote control service into a full-fledged remote control platform for other sites.
Tubemote's primary function is letting people utilize a cell phone or spare computer as a way to control YouTube video playback on another machine. The service acts as an intermediary, letting the person who's in control do a … Read more

And yet, there's now a need to make amends.
Last week, while walking from the parking building to my office, I was accosted by a squirrel. It apparently recognized the odd lady who so frequently carries peanuts in her purse. Except that day when, after digging long and hard to try and find an errant peanut for her hopeful little friend, all she found was a single breath mint, which she offered instead.
Much to the offense of the small woodland creature.
That mint was spiked to the ground with such force it likely lodged in the dirt. The squirrel began hopping madly, chattering furiously. I don't speak squirrel, but I know that diatribe was laced with profanities.
When my daughter was small, she loved these children's picture books by author Laura Numeroff, among them "If You Give a Moose a Muffin" and "If You Give a Pig a Pancake." They're fun stories, all with a similar theme.
"If you give a pig a pancake, she'll want some syrup to go with it. You'll give her some of your favorite maple syrup. She'll probably get all sticky, so she'll want to take a bath."
Baths lead to bubbles, bubbles lead to rubber ducks, rubber ducks lead to wanting a trip to the farm.
But if you give a squirrel a breath mint, it could lead to an interspecies incident.
One for which the perpetrator is so very ashamed.
