First Day in Volcano
... visitors center of the park and decided we had enough energy for a hike through the steam vents. These are a pretty spectacular sight; the volcano is not actually releasing steam but the rocks along this ridge line are so hot that when the rain/runoff water hits, steam is created. All along the 2 mile path you see lush gardens and exotic flowers being backed by billowy steam clouds.
By the time we finished this hike it was nearly 4:00pm; we were pretty tired ...

When a woman falls for man, it happens because her heart tells her so –right? Precious! But wait, is that really the case? How many times does the average woman fall in love? I surmise the answer can be derived from intense research of Sex and the City episodes –that's arguable, perhaps. However, according to new research by the University of Texas at San Antonio, it is hormones that determine how and what kind of man a woman falls for.

The people are the only censors of their governors, and even their errors will tend to keep these to the true principles of their institution.Thomas Jefferson
In general I esteem it a good maxim, that the best way to preserve the confidence of the people durably is to promote their true interest.George Washington
The voice of the people has been said to be the voice of God; and, however generally this maxim has been quoted and believed, it is not true to fact. The people are turbulent and changing, they seldom judge or determine right.Alexander Hamilton
Education is important because, first of all, people need to know that discrimination still exists. It is still real in the workplace, and we should not take that for granted.Alexis Herman
Maxim for life: You get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you.Wayne Dyer
Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.Thomas B. Macaulay
Let me remind you of the old maxim: people under suspicion are better moving than at rest, since at rest they may be sitting in the balance without knowing it, being weighed together with their sins.Franz Kafka
Free people, remember this maxim: we may acquire liberty, but it is never recovered if it is once lost.Jean Jacques Rousseau
People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.Dale Carnegie
Most of our pocket wisdom is conceived for the use of mediocre people, to discourage them from ambitious attempts, and generally console them in their mediocrity.Robert Louis Stevenson
Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.Carl Jung
Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent.Sorphia Loren
My ministers are pro-German, my wife is pro-Italian, my people are pro-Russian I am the only neutral in the country.Boris III
And who can doubt that it will lead to the worst disorders when minds created free by God are compelled to submit slavishly to an outside will? When we are told to deny our senses and subject them to the whim of others? When people devoid of whatsoever competence are made judgesover experts and are granted authority to treat them as they please?These are the novelties which are apt to bring about the ruin ofcommonwealths and the subversion of the state.Galileo Galilei
Given one well-trained physician of the highest type he will do better work for a thousand people than ten specialists.William James Mayo
Consultants are people who borrow your watch and tell you what time it is, and then walk off with the watch.Robert Townsend
Rich people focus on what they want, while poor people focus on what they don't want.T. Harv Eker
I am not a lesbian and I am not a slut, and somehow I am going to make people believe me.Vanessa Williams
Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.Anthony Robbins
She was trusted and valued by her father, loved and courted by all dogs, cats, children, and poor people, and slighted and neglected by everybody else.Anne Bront
People seem to worry about self-expression that is somehow too personal... Art has always been personal.Bonnie Sherr Klein
There's a big overlap with the people you meet at the fantasy and science fiction cons.Fred Saberhagen
People - not just in their teenage years - hold on to this fantasy of love when they're not ready to have a real relationship.Keri Russell
What people really want in the theater is fantasy involvement and not reality involvement.Edward Albee

AMC Theatres issues a press release this week that announced that it was discontinuing reserved seating at the AMC Town Center 20 in Leawood, Kansas. The change is in response to customer feedback, an open seating for all shows will begin starting July 22, 2011.
"To stay on the cutting edge of the theatre industry and to provide the best possible experience possible, AMC continues to test out new ideas, such as reserved seating," said John McDonald, executive vice president of U.S. operations at AMC Theatres. "A crucial part of any test is guest feedback and while reserved seating has been successful in different locations through the country, including the Kansas City market, guests at AMC Town Center indicated their preference for open seating at that location."
For those in the Kansas City area that like the idea of reserved seating, it is still offered at the Fork & Screen and Cinema Suites auditoriums at AMC Studio 30 in Olathe, and AMC Mainstreet 6 in Kansas City, Missouri.

If you want to change yachts, the first thing you want to know is the value of your current yacht. However, there are other reasons for having an occasional valuation carried out. One reason could be insurance purposes. You could save a great deal of money by paying the right premium. A valuation by De Valk gives you certainty. You will receive a detailed and objective report that gives a realistic estimate of the value and the price it would command. In addition, a valuation is important and usually compulsory when you finance your yacht.

As successful business leaders know, regular evaluation is vital to ensure that improvements are made and growth continues. Here at the Smart Campaign, it is time to reflect on our impact and evaluate the Campaign's global activities so that we continue to achieve the objective of embedding client protection into the fabric of the microfinance industry. For this reason, we are reaching out to all industry stakeholders for feedback via a short survey.
Launched in September of 2009, the Smart Campaign is already five years old. With over 4,200 endorsers—1,400 of which are financial institutions working to improve client protection practices—it's clear the message is spreading, and support for keeping the industry on track is strong. Client Protection Certification, launched in January 2013, has already seen 24 financial institutions meet the requirements of adequate client protection. Across these institutions, over 8.7 million clients have access to quality services and treatment. In addition, dozens of other MFIs are in the pipeline working to become certified. With nearly 100 tools available in English, plus translations in Spanish, French, Russian, Portuguese, and Arabic, the Smart Campaign website has become a valuable resource for any institution looking to improve client protection practices. The Client Protection Principles have even been incorporated into legislation and regulations for financial service providers in some countries – such as the Industry Code of Conduct in India.

Welcome to the second Financial Inclusion 2020 e-magazine!
It's been a year since the Financial Inclusion 2020 Global Forum. The Center for Financial Inclusion at Accion is taking this moment to review how the drive for financial inclusion is faring. With this e-zine we bring you highlights of the past 12 months from around the financial inclusion world – new ventures, milestones, and ongoing debates. Inside, you'll find a snapshot of progress in each of our five "Roadmap to Inclusion" areas, from technology-enabled business models to consumer protection. Over the past months we spoke with dozens of industry participants to gauge their views of the progress of each major recommendation presented at the Global Forum, and we've distilled their responses here. We learned of many exciting initiatives, though we have room to cite only a few.
To read the e-zine online, click the cover above or here. Although the e-zine is best viewed online, a PDF download is also available, here.

According to a recent article in The New York Times, a number of lenders seem to have adapted General Douglas MacArthur's views on government regulation: "Rules are mostly made to be broken." Research conducted on the effectiveness of the U.S. government's Military Lending Act over the past few years has illustrated that "lenders, intent on offering loans regardless of the federal restrictions, devised loan products that fell squarely outside the loan's restrictions." When interest rate caps were limited to loans of up to $2,000, lenders started offering loans for $2,001. When protections were applied to auto-title loans with terms under 181 days, loan periods were extended to just over 181 days.
The Obama Administration is suggesting an expansion of the law in order to close some of the loopholes, but will more rules truly deter predatory lenders? Regulators might find themselves overburdened with a multitude of rules and a decreasing ability to enforce them. A few well-supervised regulations seem preferable to a tangled web of unenforceable ones. Additionally, it would be foolish to underestimate the innovative abilities of those intent on making a buck from those in the military, based on the case precedents we've seen.
Even when the law does actually catch up to bad actors, there is evidence that they can go out again with the same or similar practices. Julio Estrada, a used-car dealer featured in an earlier article in The New York Times on subprime auto lending, continued to dupe customers into accepting predatory loans for several months after he was "indicted by the Queens district attorney on grand larceny charges that he defrauded more than 23 car buyers with refinancing schemes" less than a year earlier.
Predatory lending to military personnel is made easy because military salaries are largely transparent. Lenders have near perfect knowledge of just how much a servicemember desperate for cash can afford in monthly payments. The reliability of a government paycheck has fostered the creation of systems that withdraw installments before income even reaches a servicemember's account, further minimizing the risk to lenders and increasing their relative advantage. Yet the most egregious imbalance in knowledge stems from the fact that lenders know the "military considers personal indebtedness to be a threat to national security, so high levels of debt can imperil service members' security clearances," and ultimately their job. Predatory lenders leverage this knowledge to threaten servicemembers.
Perhaps instead of relying on regulation, and hoping that everyone plays by the rules, we should refocus our efforts on adequately arming our servicemen and women with the knowledge they need to defend themselves. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) took steps to do just that when it created the Office of Servicemember Affairs to focus on the challenges faced by military employees. However, it primarily addresses ways to save, funding for higher education, and accessing VA benefits, and only touches on indebtedness in a section on deployment and credit cards. While educating servicemembers on these issues is important, increasing savings and controlling the interest charged on credit card bills are ways to preempt debt, and might not necessarily be relevant for someone already in debt. These individuals are most likely to fall prey to abusive payday lending schemes.

This is the first of two blog posts about responsible digital financial services, on the occasion of the Responsible Finance Forum in Perth, Australia.
The Smart Campaign has watched with excitement as new forms of digital financial services (DFS) stand poised to bring financial access to millions of lower-income households previously excluded from the financial system. The potential benefits of this new ecosystem are enormous and include an array of positive outcomes ranging from lowered transaction costs to consumption-smoothing, among many others. Nevertheless, the excitement over new possibilities must not obscure the need to evaluate and respond to new risks to clients.
In an ongoing mapping exercise conducted by the Smart Campaign and Accion's Channels and Technology team, we identified various things that can go wrong for clients of DFS, such as:
- Clients lose their funds after an agent fails to take proper security measures or after a service outage
- Agents charge unauthorized fees for transactions under guise of complicated pricing and fees
- Clients lack or are not offered adequate customer care channels
- Lack of data privacy due to clients not being informed or misinformed on how their data and history is being used or shared
- Agents lacking liquidity serve only their favored clients
While these risks are grounded in anecdotes from the field, there is still much more evidence needed on the consumer harms that actually happen, including where they happen and how often. The Responsible Finance Forum in Perth will host several sessions that present demand-side evidence to help identify high priority risks.
But, what then? Once risks are known, how best to try to minimize them?

The Smart Campaign secretariat does a lot of things – manage a Certification program, provide technical assistance, develop and promote industry standards, and conduct research. Our small team is always putting on different hats, and we joke about trying to explain our jobs to friends. At the end of the day, the one thing many of our friends can understand is that we are an industry-facing organization offering a "public good." The Smart Campaign's public good is not a road or a lighthouse. It just happens to be standards and guidance on protecting clients. These standards are a public good because they belong to everyone, and one individual or institution's use does not reduce the availability of the resources for others.
Some of our ever-thoughtful friends then ask if this means that we contend with other classic public goods challenges.
The answer is yes, absolutely. One of the biggest issues we struggle with is the lack of a market feedback mechanism. Industry stakeholders can use Smart Campaign tools and resources without paying and thus without providing feedback on their experience. Without a price signal, it can be difficult for the staff to assess demand and user experience. This makes it hard to know how to tailor, expand, or improve offerings. We are curious to hear examples from readers about how other similar organizations consistently improve their offerings without market feedback.

It's a great time to be working on consumer protection. Even while risks change or expand in scope as new products evolve and access increases, it seems that there are just as many talented researchers and new approaches to making consumer protection work emerging. Some of the most important breakthroughs are coming from consumer and behavioral research. This includes insights into what sales staff really do and why (see, for example, this infographic on a recent World Bank/CGAP/CONDUSEF audit study in Mexico), how consumers make financial decisions—not always for purely economic reasons, and what the context of low resources or scarcity means for financial behavior.
The next step is to take these research insights and turn them into improved consumer protection policies in emerging markets. CGAP's recent publication, Applying Behavioral Insights in Consumer Protection Policy, describes a range of current and potential ways we can bridge the research and policy fields. But what about providers? What can we take from the recent behavioral insights emerging for the Client Protection Principles?

Understanding the cash flows and money management practices of the poor is a requirement for effectively designing financial services. Complex income scenarios and impossibly-thin budgets make finances for many poor people complex. It takes time and resources to capture such information in a meaningful way. Insight into these practices was sought in the ambitious Kenya Financial Diaries project, which included biweekly interviews with 300 lower-income households in Kenya over the course of one year. Results from the project were released earlier this week.
The Kenya Financial Diaries, a joint research project by Bankable Frontier Associates and Digital Divide Data, comprehensively tracked the transactions of households across Kenya using a customized, "intelligent" questionnaire. The questionnaire was tailored to each household's composition, income sources, and financial devices used. As new information became available, the questionnaire adapted accordingly. Along with the quantitative records on their financial lives, researchers interviewed household members on their perceptions, stories, and life events affecting their finances.
The results?

page 5 - The Diesel
Is compression ignition coming or going?
By May 16, 2003
Ford is studying plans for offering a diesel Focus within the next five years. Other U.S.-available diesels are concentrated toward the large end of the light-truck segment. Fully two out of three Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks, for instance, are diesel.
Diesel Clouds Ahead?
A lot of U.S. diesel activity is based on proposed hikes in the light-truck Corporate Average Fuel Economy standard phased in over 2005-2007. The class (which includes many pickups, minivans and SUVs) will likely face a 7.2-percent increase in mpg. Automakers are scrambling for SUV fuel efficiency, and dieselization is a straightforward 25-30-percent improvement.
There's a downside, though, both here and in Europe. Increasingly stringent emissions-control regulations challenge the diesel even more than its spark-ignition counterpart. In a sense, it's like the SI engine back in the 1970s, at the beginning of 3-way catalysis. Even with ultra-low-sulfur fuel, it's not clear that our coming NOx and particulate regulations can be met.
And some pretty bizarre technology has been proposed. In response to Europe's Stage IV regulations, for instance, the PSA Peugeot Citroën HDI series has a silicon-carbide particulate filter that traps soot for some 250 miles, then requires a minute dose of rare-earth-derived compound to regenerate the device through superheating (around 850 degrees Fahrenheit!). A separate 1.3-gal. tank of this cerium-based Eolys additive needs replenishment every 50,000 miles or so.
Others are studying NOx reduction in a catalytic converter fed a combination of diesel exhaust and urea, an ammonia-based compound.
CSI's Catalyzed Trap
Oxnard, California-based Catalytic Solutions Inc. has teamed up with Japan's Asahi Glass Co., Ltd. to develop a catalyzed particulate filter for meeting Europe's Stage IV and Stage V regulations. Asahi's silicon-nitride honeycomb has very small particle size, all the better for high surface area and optimal catalyst coating. The CSI catalyst coating uses relatively low levels of precious metals; this, to improve light-off temperature yet reduce cost.
Its duty cycle depends on soot accumulation within the honeycomb's tiny passages. Periodically, a backpressure sensor recognizes the need for eliminating the accumulated soot. Subtle changes in fuel injection enhance catalytic activity and cause a temperature rise in the catalyst, thus promoting this downstream soot combustion. CSI's catalyst enables rapid soot combustion during this regeneration event. Most important, this action is imperceptible to the driver.
I've written about CSI before (see "Technology Update: Clean the Sky! Wash the Wind!" April 2001; and Tech Tidbits, June 2001). This current research and development may once more "clean the sky and wash the wind," only this time, to the benefit of Rudolf Diesel's compression-ignition concept.

Stacy! I can't tell you how excited I am to get some info on that line. Thank you, thank you. It's odd that you have my dad listed "Joseph Rogers" and none of his brothers and sisters. I wonder how did you get that? My dad just died 6 months ago. There were 10 of them. Also can I ask if you have come across the Rogers name in any of your searches? It does not seem like a common name for down there. There don't seem to be a lot of Rogers in Lafourche. I'm wondering if they came from someplace else. Also, do you know if it is possible to contact the Lafourche Heritage Society on line? Again, thanks so much Stacy, this is very kind of you. Joni

It was, needless to say, a remarkable evening and a extremely enjoyable way to spend a 26th birthday. The art of "doing nothing" is highly underrated in American culture and relaxing without guilt is something that can be rare but also something that we will hopefully have a bit more of over the coming year.

Oct. 20 (Bloomberg) -- The cost of insuring against default on European corporate debt rose, according to traders of credit- default swaps.
Contracts on the Markit iTraxx Crossover Index of 50 companies with mostly high-yield credit ratings increased 19 basis points to 753 basis points, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. at 8:30 a.m. in London. An increase signals worsening perceptions of credit quality.
The Markit iTraxx Europe Index of 125 companies with investment-grade ratings was up 4.75 at 180.5 basis points. The Markit iTraxx Financial Index linked to senior debt of 25 banks and insurers added 9.5 basis points to 251.5 and the subordinated gauge was 15 higher at 493.
The Markit iTraxx SovX Western Europe Index of swaps on 15 governments increased six basis points to 331 basis points.
A basis point on a credit-default swap protecting 10 million euros ($13.7 million) of debt from default for five years is equivalent to 1,000 euros a year. Swaps pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities or the cash equivalent should a borrower fail to adhere to its debt agreements.

Carol Probstfeld to continue as State College of Florida interim president
Date: December 19, 2012
by: Josh Siegel | Staff Writer
State College of Florida District Board of Trustees asked Dr. Carol Probstfeld to continue as interim president at a Dec. 18 meeting, a school release states.
Probstfeld, vice president of business and administrative services, initially accepted the interim position at a November board meeting with the expectation the board would hire an interim president from outside the college to serve while the board conducts a national presidential search.
In agreeing to continue as interim president until the presidential search finishes, Probstfeld said, "If it is the will of the board, I will accept the position. It is a big job, but we have the world's hardest-working, dedicated staff, and I am confident that together, we will refocus our energy on the mission of the college."
The board will pay her an additional $5,000 per month while she is filling both the interim president's and vice president's positions.
Former president Lars Hafner departed in late October with a $363,000 severance deal prompted by months of conflict with trustees over financial issues.
The board selected three search consultants to make presentations at a Jan. 22 special board meeting about the president search: ACCT, Hockaday-Hartford and NS&EC.
The board also selected members of the presidential search committee, including members of the school's staff and administration, plus students.
Trustee Carlos Beruff was named chair of the presidential search committee.

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) - Authorities have found two handguns
near the badly decomposed bodies of five family members who were
discovered in a home in a wealthy, gated Orange County community
over the holiday weekend.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Lt. Erin Giudice says the handguns were found near the bodies of a man and woman in their 40s and were registered to the middle-aged woman. Giudice says the man and woman were found in a downstairs closet, while a woman in her
70s and two sisters in their early 20s were found in an attached
Sheriff's officials are now saying that the man suffered from an apparent gunshot wound.
But Giudice says the bodies are so badly decomposed it's impossible to tell if the others were shot too.
Autopsies began Monday but won't be done until Tuesday because of the decomposition.

Exeter boosted by Premiership shares
ESPN Staff
September 30, 2012

Exeter Chiefs will gain an extra £600,000 per season after buying Leeds' shares in the Premiership of £5million.
The Chiefs became one of 13 holders of 'P' shares which will entitle them to the additional cash from Premiership Rugby's central funding. Exeter chairman and chief executive Tony Rowe says the extra money will go to head coach Rob Baxter to strengthen the playing squad.
"As much of the extra income as possible will go into the playing budget. I'm sure Rob will have targets in mind to sign," he told the Rugby Paper. For the second successive season Exeter posted a profit and they are one of only four clubs to be in the black. They also hope to have plans approved next month to redevelop Sandy Park into a 20,000-seater stadium.
Exeter had the option to secure 'P' shares from either Leeds or Bristol as both clubs have been outside the top flight for more than a year.
Leeds chief executive Gary Hetherington said: "We didn't want to sell our 'P' shares but we had no choice in the matter. If we go back in the Premiership we will need the 'P' shares, which is why we will ring fence that money until such time as we return to the Premiership. Then we'll look to repurchase those shares from the relegated club."

—The Boston Globe
"Amazing revelations. . . . Working Girl meets What Remains in this behind-the-scenes story."
—Good Reads
"No one is better at observing the affairs of a magazine than the boss's assistant: with sprezzatura to spare, Terenzio delivers tantalizing accounts of staff cattiness and celebrity dealings. . . . A case study of the fascinating relationship between the often unsentimental executive who requests the impossible and the loyal, fiercely protective assistant."
"Candid. . . . Terenzio deftly reconstructs the wonderfully addictive yet strange and high-pressure world in which she worked. . . . She chronicles her time with Kennedy within the glorious but often brutal bubble that encircled his world, and what he taught her about living."

"A memoir of the late nineties, and an era gone by. . . . A suitably emotional ending, an up-close-and-personal account."

TUCKER, Ga. – The US Poultry & Egg Association has released a video series on antibiotics and their use in modern poultry production.
The series, Poultry Insight, shows how and why antibiotics are used in the poultry industry, the organization said. The series also provides information about antibiotic resistance, antibiotic residues, regulatory requirements and what would happen if the poultry industry stopped using antibiotics.
"USPOULTRY and our members recognize consumers have questions about antibiotics," said John Starkey, USPOULTRY president. "This series of videos is designed to provide a general overview about antibiotics and antibiotic use in the poultry industry, and we welcome any feedback from consumers who have additional questions."
The videos are a discussion with Dr. John Glisson, retired Head of the Department of Population Health at the Univ. of Georgia, and former Head of the Department of Avian Medicine and Associate Dean of Public Service and Outreach at the Univ. of Georgia's College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Glisson now serves as USPOULTRY's director of research.

As he is a deputy city attorney, does this gentleman understand by his actions, is going to force the schools to take a second look at all after-school sports program (and not just at MPCSD) and perhaps think this is too expensive to have because of lawsuits as his?
I am not saying he is not within his rights because we don't know all the facts but why couldn't he take his negotiation skills and try to come to a peaceful conclusion instead now, all the students will have to suffer as a result. Is this man's ego so bruised that now he has to take away programs that enhances the childrens' life? Did he think about this?
