Historically, banks have been major sources of credit for local governments. Whether through short-term lending or bond purchases, banks have recognized the responsibility and benefit of providing capital to community entities. Municipal governments are commonly among the largest economic enterprises in any given market. This fact gives local banks incentive to understand some of the recent changes faced by our local governments.
Municipal borrowers face uncertainty
The credit crisis significantly curtailed municipal borrowing. To attempt to cure the credit crisis, several new forms of borrowing were created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act including, among others, Qualified School Construction Bonds (a type of tax credit bonds), Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds, and Build America Bonds. The act included an expansion of authorization for various tax credit bonds.
The Qualified School Construction Bonds and other tax-credit bond programs were less used due to an unpopular tax credit stripping guideline and therefore not as helpful as hoped. However, Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds and Build America Bonds, which are subsidized taxable bonds, have been popular with community banks and resulted in expanded and improved markets for municipal bonds. These programs expired at the end of the year but provided much needed support.
Earlier this year, the Obama administration recommended that the Build America Bond program be made permanent, although with a lower subsidy than the previous 35 percent rate. This proposal did not materialize. In contrast, the recent proposal for a renewed stimulus plan, which focuses on infrastructure investment and payroll tax cuts, is slated to earmark as much as $50 billion dollars to help, among other things, modernize public schools and community colleges.
And though no particular direction is clear regarding future support of municipal capital needs, needs still exist. Given the understanding by community banks of their local markets, relationships with those political subdivisions having capital needs can become a crucial aspect of community support.
Municipal advisors
Unintended consequences often accompany well-intended actions. Another of the Dodd-Frank Act provisions requires registration of any company or individual that gives advice to a municipality on, among other things, investment strategies defined as plans or programs for the investment of the proceeds of municipal securities. The term advice is not defined in the act or in the implementation rule.
There is broad concern among commercial banks that the proposed rule expands coverage beyond the term proceeds in the act, meaning that anyone providing any type of advice to a municipality regarding any of its funds whether or not from proceeds of municipal securities would require registration. Registration with both the SEC and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board would have to be obtained not only by the bank but also by individual employees giving advice.
Potentially, community bank employees providing financial advice to local governmental bodies such as school districts, local commissions and advisory bodies would have to be registered. Often, bankers are called upon by the community for their expertise. Serving in voluntary roles, they are acting in the spirit of community involvement. While they normally receive no direct benefit other than the betterment of the communities in which they live, it is possible their registration would be required.
The MSRB rule proposals filed with the SEC would create a number of new duties and obligations related to municipal advisors. Therefore, entities that are, or might be, municipal advisors should pay close attention to the proposed rules and consider whether aspects of the proposed rules would have an effect on operations. Indeed, because the SEC has yet to issue a final rule on the definition of a municipal advisor, firms that are not certain whether they will be considered municipal advisors should aggressively consider the impact of these rules.

It gives us immense delight to announce yet another financial award given by
Dr. Jane's Foundation, this time to Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest. The
mission of the Oregon-headquartered rescue is to find responsible, loving homes
for Greyhounds who no longer participate in dog racing or who are simply in need
of a good home. More...
On behalf of the Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation, it is our privilege to
announce the gift of yet another financial award. This month's featured group is
Animal Friends Humane Society, a non-profit based in Boerne, TX. Saving canine
lives since 2000, this impressive little group was established with the goal of
serving a small part of the greater San Antonio area where over 50,000 dogs and
cats are euthanized annually. During the last 12 years, they've continued to
grow and foster their own place in the community. More...
The Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation takes pride in the hard work of all its
grant recipients, but the Palmetto Animal League (PAL) represents the best and
noblest of rescue enterprises. PAL boasts a remarkable success rate of placement
– nearly 100% – with the average time a pet is fostered at less than four
months. In the true spirit of caring, nurturing and rescue, they work to avoid
euthanasia at all costs. To their minds, there is no other option than to keep a
dog or a cat as long as it takes to find them a forever home.
This is Bailey, a high-energy two-year-old boxermix.
A private non-profit, the PAL organization has operated most of its 30 years
using a network of volunteer foster families. Now, however, they are slowly
transferring to the nearly completed construction of their first facility, the
PAL's Adoption Center. More...
Thanks to The Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation, an English Bulldog will
enjoy shelter and quality medical care until he can be adopted into a loving,
forever family.
Our charitable non-profit's latest financial award has been given to the
Southern California Bulldog Rescue which is dedicated to saving the lives of
abandoned Bulldogs. Providing safe haven to these noble creatures, this rescue
actively works to place Bulldogs in new homes and covers the medical expenses
for more than 200 Bulldogs annually. Entirely funded through donations and
operated by an all-volunteer network of dedicated Bulldog lovers, SCBR makes
sure that every Bulldog that comes their way is cared for responsibly.
Officially in the non-sporting group, Bulldogs were once bred to be very
aggressive to bait bulls and fight other dogs. Thankfully, this breed has been
transformed through many decades of refinement and nurturing, and now most
Bulldogs are friendly and eager to please. More...

DBM spell timers wis generally rather nice for monitoring raid CDs, though it does occasionally underestimate cds.
Hi guys, my guild downed 5/8hc @ 15% nerf we just came back after a brake and downed blackhorn last nite (yay)
We are still missing one member and had a guild member from one of the top guilds(on our realm) join us his raid leading was far far far better than what we have had esp during fights calling for cd's etc etc im just wondering if there is any addons or anything else we can use to get us started because it really helped and we need it....but i hold my hand up im crap at it.
Bit stuck with this at the moment.
DBM spell timers wis generally rather nice for monitoring raid CDs, though it does occasionally underestimate cds.
Download Hermes (or Ora3 I believe can also do it, but requires everyone to have it)
There is some configuration required for Hermes, but when set up right you'll have a list of your raids cd's as well as time remaining before it's available again once used.., the only downside is it won't automatically transfer one characters settings over if your playing on an alt character.
thanks guys i will look into those and let you know how we went on
Ora3 can be avery spammy addon, its not really something of concern if your raid group has decent internet connections, if you have some people playing at extreme distance (ozzies on US servers, africans on EU servers)or if somome is determined to play on a wireless connection it can force them to DC.
Can't you just ask if their cooldown is going to be ready for [insert event here]?
DBM (or something like it) is bread and butter for raiding. It's not 100% mandatory for everyone (some people like to run without it cause it makes them feel hardcore) but it's generally a good thing for everyone to have.
Ultraxion...tells me exactly how much the "average" raider relies on DBM.
Hour of Twilight the dbm verbal counter started 5 seconds before so they needed to wait until the counter was done and then they had 5 seconds.
Fading light started when you had 5 seconds left. You had to let it start counting and use Heroic Will before it ran out.
So one counter you had to wait until it was done, the other you had to act before it was done.
No matter how many times I explained that will get you killed, people still died trying to rely on the verbal counter instead of setting up a debuff bar for Fading Light and a cast bar for Hour of Twilight.
Was especially frustrating since it was usually guildies and we had a lot of turnover in DS.
I don't know, but I've played that boss (ultraxion heroic) completely without any mods and it was a lot more fun than waiting for bigwigs to tell me what to do.
I only realised you dould have the lady counting down with DBM after killing madness HC, i was running with a power aura since the second night of DS for Fading ligh. noticing a boss cast bar isn't hard for me so HoT was not difficult.

Hunters, Just get a Sporebat, most LFRs will be missing that buff.
I'm with you Teng. As soon as I realized the counters did not work the same (first pull) I set up an Elk Buff bar for fading light that was Whitelisted for Fading Light and Impale. The cast bar and animation were plenty for Hour of Twilight. Doesn't mean that I didn't have guildies dropping like flies to it for the whole tier. Granted, half the tier was on heroic and with turnover, it always seems we had one or two who hadn't done it as many times as the main core. But still, when me or someone was always calling out "Group 2" etc, there's not enough thinking left for the average raider to derp as much as it seems they do.
What areas are you really looking to improve? The tank announcing when he does cds? Tank asking for externals? Timing Heroism/raid cds? Calling out boss mechanics?
It really helps to know what you felt made an improvement? I've called out stuff at times when I pugged into another guild's raid and they were almost dead silent and had them complain. "Improvement" can be a subjective thing.

I use ORA for tracking raid cooldowns that are on cooldown in the raid. Nobody else in the raid has to have it installed in order for it to work and I have a very low end computer that doesn't get bogged down by it at all (as an example I have to turn sound off in 25 man raids in order to function without horrendous lag). You go into the settings and each class has its own section where you can set what spells to track for that class. Last I checked it hadn't been updated for MoP though, not sure if that is still the case.
Generally I only track battle rezzes (dk, druid, warlock), and non healing raid cooldowns.
- Rally cry, spirit link, barrier, aura mastery, pain sup
For healing cooldowns I let the healers decide on their own when to use them or we set certain times for them such as rolling on spine.
Yeah it is Very spammy that addon.

The tools and the work tray fit too tightly into the carrying case. I have had to pry the tools and tray out of the case, which was difficult for me and I have ended up using a knife! Once the screw all come out of the package, there is not enough space in the carrying case to hold them. Also note that you will need two different sized screw drivers to put the batteries into the toy screw driver and toy drill. Cute toy, fun, but the case makes it difficult to enjoy.

Great product, but...
By Jenny
from Madison, WI
About Me Education Oriented
As an Activity Director that works with seniors in a memory care unit, this is a great idea. However, I would like to propose that a similar product be made that is more appropriate for seniors. I see this product in many of the nursing home supply catalogs for activities. However, I would LOVE to see a brown plastic board (resembling a piece of wood) and gray screws (that resemble actual bolts). This gives a more realistic look for senior adults.My 4 year old son has this item as well and he loves it. It works great to strengthen find motor, color recognition, pattern recognition and so many more teaching moments for kids.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My 3 year old son recieved this for Christmas this year. The second time he played with it the screwdriver started to smoke and now the forward motion will not work. It's too bad because this has the making of a great toy!
Merchant response: This is an alarming review - please email firstname.lastname@example.com as soon as possible so we can replace your drill and examine the one that's giving you trouble.
Awesome toy!!!
By Jake's Mom
from Saginaw, Texas
I bought this toy three years ago for my son, who was 3 years old. I usually pass down his toys to my nephew when my son outgrows them, but my son still plays with this one! I'm now ordering one for my 3 year old nephew because my son won't give it up! Well worth the money, in my opinion!
Ready to order another!
By Xenas Mom
from North Hollywood Ca
Just bought this from a yard sale and am ordering another one, its great. I have a 4, 5 and 6 year old and they cannot get enough of this!
Merchant response: Hooray! Design & Drill really does power up the fun!
How Do you get the Drill top off???
By Ky's Mom
from NH
About Me Educator, Parent
My 3 year old got this as a gift after he used it at a friends house. He was so excited so when we got it we struggled just to get the batteries in. It is almost impossible. The screws were likely stripped after that and the next time the top broke off trying to get the batteries in rendering the toy useless. Bummer!!!
Merchant response: Oh no! Kyle's mom this is a HUGE bummer! Please look for an email from us to replace the drill for you.
Nice toy
By Mary
from San Diego, CA
[...]My almost 3yr old and I are very satisfy w/ this toy. Now that he's a bit older, he enjoys it even more and starting to learn to follow the patterns to make the picture.
Merchant response: Thanks for letting us know, Mary! So glad you're both enjoying designing and drilling with Design & Drill!

From Hawaii's Kileaua volcano to the California countryside, join leading scientists as they attempt to unravel the mysteries of volcanoes and earthquakes.
Take a thrilling journey into the deep secrets of the earth. What forces send tons of molten rock and lava flying heavenward in a volcanic eruption, or turn the very ground we stand on into rubble in the sudden fury of an earthquake?
Hawaii's Mount Kileaua volcano may hold the clues to predicting future eruptions. RIVERS OF FIRE journeys to this unstable mountain with a scientific team gathering lava samples. Stand at the rim of the massive crater, and discover what clues scientists are finding in the lava taken from the tropical volcano.
In THE RESTLESS EARTH, venture to the small town of Parkfield, California, where earthquakes occur every 22 years. No one knows why, but interviews with the earth scientists trying to unlock the secrets of the Parkfiled quakes share their discoveries and show off the latest findings that they hope will prove the key to understanding quakes.
With incredible footage of some of the worst natural disasters in history and interviews with the scientists who risk their lives to study them, RIVERS OF FIRE is a riveting look at the destructive side of nature.

Tab Top Insulated Curtains 13 13
Great Curtains After reading some disappointing reviews, I thought I would take a chance with these curtains. I have been searching for quite a while to find some thermals close to this size. I ordered them anyway knowing that they would be short for what I needed but I was able to lower the rods. I did not find these to be thin at all. Great quality and the stitching was right on. I ordered the linen color and found what was shown was a tad bit darker than expected but will match what I have anyway. I expect with the quality that it will make a difference in the heating bill and keep out the heat during the summer months. Very pleased with these curtains! March 30, 2013
love the insulation feature bought them for two windows, then added three more windows, then added two more windows; have plans to add more for a seasonal home in another state April 22, 2014
Curtains to drape for!! I love these curtains. They are pretty, easy to open & close and are made of quality fabric. Thank you for excellent service. March 4, 2014
I love the tab tops on these curtains I have difficulty inserting drapery hooks into curtains. For that reason I looked for a rod pocket curtain. When I saw the tab topped style I preferred the look over the rod pocket. The blue color I chose will look great in our new modular home. One drawback to these curtains is the possibility of shrinking if put in the dryer. I hope they don't come out of the washer wrinkled & need ironing. January 13, 2014
snug as a bug When I am in my family room at night I close these well made curtains and feel total privacy from the world. They are well made and have a great texture. I bought the eggshell colored panels and they seem to be more whitish than I expected but I still am very very pleased. When I come down to my family room in the morning I cannot believe how much light they block out. I open the curtains and the room brightens significantly. I am sure these curtains will be great for the summer as well. I plan on buying the sage curtains for another room. The VC store has not disappointed me yet with there products or service. Thank you!! January 4, 2014
Our New Curtains We bought the curtains to help block cold air coming through our dining room windows. What a difference with the new curtains closed! It's been pleasant to sit and eat a warm meal in a much warmer, draft free room! Thanks for the quality of the curtains. Question: I've washed the curtains on gentle and dried them on low, but they are still wrinkled from being tightly packaged and mailed. What would you suggest to get the curtains nice and smooth? Thanks so much, January 2, 2014
Love the suede This is my first purchase from the Vermont Country Store and it won't be my last. My husband and I both love the new curtains, the color is perfect and they are helping to keep the cold out and the warmth inside. They are exactly what we have been looking for. December 6, 2013
Help to get a Good Night's Sleep I am a nurse that works the 3-11:30 pm evening shift. I rarely get to leave at 11:30 PM and frequently have to work into the Cat Eye shift. I wake up every morning as soon as the sun comes into my windows. In order to get more sleep during daylight hours I had to trick my body into thinking that it was still night time. By darkening the room by 50% these curtains have helped me get a few hours more hours of sleep. In pairing them with black-out shades I have gotten the room about 90% midnight dark on a moonless night! November 30, 2013

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The California State Teachers' Retirement System's (CalSTRS) Corporate Governance 2014 Annual Report shows its engagement with small-cap companies yielded remarkable progress in the adoption of majority voting standards for the election of corporate directors.
The Corporate Governance 2014 Annual Report reflects four years of work with small-cap companies—those with a capitalization of $2 billion or less—to adopt the majority-vote standard. The standard requires directors to receive a majority of shareholder support to be elected to the board.
The CalSTRS 2014 funding plan enacted in Assembly Bill 1469 sets the Defined Benefit Program on a sustainable course to eliminate the unfunded liability within three decades.
This historic legislation calls for gradual, shared contribution increases from members, employers and the State of California over the next several years beginning July 1, 2014. The plan meets solid actuarial and accounting practices and offers a complete approach to fully funding the Defined Benefit Program.
Decade-long efforts to bridge the Defined Benefit Program's current $73.7 billion funding gap conclude with a plan that fully funds the program within 32 years. Assembly Bill 1469, signed into law by Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr., as part of the 2014-15 budget, increases member, employer and state contributions over the next several years and sets the program on a sustainable course.
The funding solution is the result of years of focused discussions, stakeholder outreach, legislative visits and hearings. Since 2006, guided by the Teachers' Retirement Board, CalSTRS committed to promoting the development of a comprehensive strategy to address the long-term funding needs of the system.
Separate fact from fiction, learn how CalSTRS is different from other public pension systems, and get other critical facts about CalSTRS and pension funding issues.
Ask Jack is an online communication channel offered by CalSTRS CEO, Jack Ehnes. This Web forum solicits questions about the funding and administration of the CalSTRS Defined Benefit Program. Not all will be posted directly, but Jack's responses will be inclusive of views and perspectives.

A perspective on the current and future state of the CalSTRS Defined Benefit Program from CalSTRS CEO, Jack Ehnes.
CalSTRS Outlook delivers a digest of important news, updates and special posts published on CalSTRS.com directly to your email inbox.
An economic impact study finds that CalSTRS benefit payments are a substantial economic driver in California, generating $11 billion in economic activity, supporting more than 92,000 jobs and creating about $1.2 billion in tax payments to state and local governments through income, sales and corporate profit taxes.
CalSTRS is dedicated to preventing pension spiking.
A toll-free hotline has been established enabling anyone—the public, CalSTRS members, school district and county office of education employees—to report suspicions of pension spiking to CalSTRS.
Electronic privacy is crucial for the ongoing success of the Internet as a convenient means to provide customer service. Your personal information will be used only to conduct CalSTRS-related business.

OMA's design for the new École Centrale School of Engineering in Saclay, France is based on the concept of a "lab city." The plan shows a collection of volumes collected under a low-level, ETFE-roofed superblock. This concept has multiple benefits and creates a contained mini city dedicated to science, technology and research. Clément Blanchet, director of OMA projects in France, explains "The design integrates urbanism with the school, supplanting the homogeneous experience of the campus. It's an attempt to define the actual esthetic of science."
Grid-connected streets within the building provide direct pathways around the project and also cultivate collaboration, chance meetings and generate a new typology for learning. A central pedestrian spine crosses the superblock and connects with the rest of the school and on the other side will connect with a new metro station headed to Paris. The enclosure not only contains the school, but also protects it from the elements. The result is like a city, but protected and filled with natural daylight. The project contains a variety of lab and office spaces as well as a gym, administration center and classrooms for first year students. The project was developed in collaboration with Bollinger and Grohman, Alto, DHV, DAL, and D'Ici Là.

Vertical-striped stockings in black or white with lovely lace-like detailing in rich colors. "These are incredibly lovely - I couldn't stop looking at them! Uber-sexy, and they are guaranteed to catch the attention of others in the room!" is what one happy recipient said. Made in the USA.
Fits best on women's shoe size 6-9. These are thigh high on some folks but just OTK on most; their upwards stretch will depend on the size of your legs. The tops will stretch to 20 inches, and the calves will stretch to about 19 inches maximum. About 27 inches from heel to cuff, unstretched.
*The Black/Black variety is slightly narrower than the other colors and is not recommended for thighs above 19 inches or calves above 17 inches.
Additional Info: When we launched our new shopping cart in 2006, we asked everyone who reads our Sock Journal to try it out and let us know what they thought. To sweeten the deal, I offered a pair of surprise socks for also telling us what your favorite colors and styles are. Many of these pictures were submitted by the happy recipients of this style!
Fiber Content: 60% recycled cotton blend, 38% nylon, 2% Lycra®.
Machine wash in cool water, dry on low or hang to dry.
Label: Dream Stockings
I was wondering if you guys have a pair of these socks, but in olive/black? Not black/Kelly but a reverse of that, possibly in an olive green colour or close?
Thank you so so so much for providing socks in a variety of sizes, and testing them and providing detailed size info! I just got the Extraordinarily Longer Thigh Highs, and they fit on my big ol' legs! And the lace/corset top thigh highs-- and they fit too! It's so awesome to be able to find tall hosiery that fits!
