7/31 in Yankee History
2008: Andy Pettitte survives a 6-run 3rd at the Stadium, but has to hand the ball over in the 5th, and will absorb his 8th loss of the year as the visiting Angels double up the Yanks 12-6.
2007: The Yankees tie a franchise record with 8 home runs in a game ~ not one of them from Alex Rodriguez, who is one shy of 500. Hideki Matsui homers twice and adding blows are Melky Cabrera, Bobby Abreu, Johnny Damn, Robinson Cano, Shelley Duncan and Jorge Posada in a 16 – 3 rout of the White Sox.
2005: For the second day in a row' the Yankees rally from a 4-run deficit to win against the Angels, this time by 8-7 in 11 innings. Chris Bootcheck, making his first Major League start' allows one run in 6 innings' while Benji and Jose Molina each homer off Randy Johnson to give the Halos a 6-2 lead. The Yanks tie it up but Mariano Rivera gives up a run in the 10th before the Yanks again tie. Tony Womack drives in the game winner in the 11th. Jason Giambi has a pair of homers to give him 300 for his career and 14 for the month' tying him with Mickey Mantle who hit 14 in a month in 1961. The Molina homers are just the 21st time a pair of brothers have homered for the
same team in the same game; the last pair to do it were the Giambi brothers on August 11' 2001.
2003: The Reds ship third baseman Aaron Boone to the Yankees in exchange for Brandon Claussen and Charlie Manning and cash. They also send pitcher Gabe White to New York for a player to be named later. The deal had been for the 2 Reds players for the Yankee players and about $1.4 million' but Bud Selig vetoed the deal because it exceeded the $1 million limit' forcing the teams to make it 2 transactions.
1999: The Yankees bring back catcher Jim Leyritz from the Padres for pitcher Geraldo Padua. Padua was 25-4 in 3 seasons in Class A' including a run of 20 straight wins. Mysteriously' Padua will lose 14 straight in the minors in 2000 and earn a release from Altoona (AA) in May' 2001' after making a relief appearance in which he serves up 3 straight homers
1996: At the trading deadline' Detroit swap first baseman-DH Cecil Fielder to the Yankees for outfielder-DH Ruben Sierra and minor league pitcher Matt Drews. The Yanks also obtain pitcher David Weathers from the Marlins for pitcher Mark Hutton, but will send him to the minors in 3 weeks.
1994: After years of disappointment, Phil Rizzuto is finally inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Joining the Scooter on the podium are Steve Carlton and Leo Durocher (who began his playing career as a Yankee).
1978: The Yankees top Texas 6-1' to move to 7 1/2 games behind the Red Sox in the AL East. Mickey Rivers sets the tone by hitting a leadoff home run on the first pitch he sees.
1977: Greg Nettles scores 3 runs to lead the Yankees to a 9-2 win over the A's' the 8th win in their last 9 games for New York. The Yankees are a 1/2 game out of first.
1963: Ralph Terry tosses a complete-game five-hitter in just 75 pitches, as the Yankees edge the Kansas City A's 3-2. Terry has no walks and 5 strikeouts.
1962: At D.C. Stadium' Mickey Mantle is on the bench with a knee injury' but Moose Skowron picks up the slack with a grand slam. The Yankees win 9-5.
1960: At the Stadium' the A's push over three unearned runs in the 11th on two throwing errors by third baseman Hector Lopez (who normally plays in the outfield) to top New York 5-2 in the first game of a doubleheader. The Yanks bounce back to take the nitceap 6-0.
1955: In the opener of today's twinbill, Don Larsen wins 5-2' as the Yanks and Athletics combine for 9 double plays, with the
New Yorkers turning 6. The 9 ties an AL record (topped in 1990)' and the 12 for both games' also matches the AL mark. Cloyd Boyer' who had 3 of his first 8 pitches hit for home runs – by Hank Bauer' Mickey Mantle' and Yogi Berra – takes the loss. The A's take the second contest 7-1.
1951: The Browns acquire Cliff Mapes (below) from the Yankees' sending Bobbie Hogue, Kermit Wahl, Tom Upton and Lou Sleater to New York. The trade frees up an outfield spot for Mantle's return as well as Mapes' No.7 uniform. (Mapes, incidentally, was also the last Yankee to wear Babe Ruth's old No.3 before it was retired.)
1938: After New York win the opener of a doubleheader with the White Sox by a score of 5-1 behind Monte Pearson' Spud Chandler pitches a complete-game 15-inning win in the nitecap as the visiting Yankees top the South Siders 7-3.
In a postgame radio interview with Bob Elson' Yankee outfielder Jake Powell (below) will make headlines with remarks about 'knocking n*gg*rs on the head and throwing them in jail' as part of his off-season duties as a policeman in Dayton, Ohio. For the statements' Judge Landis suspends Powell for 10 days. According to baseball historians, Powell, after his suspension is up, will go to Harlem and work his way downtown, stopping in every bar to buy drinks and apologize for his comments.
1937: The Yankees purchase the minor league Kansas City Blues from Johnny Kling' who has had full control of the team since 1935. Yankee owner Jacob Ruppert will change the name of the club's home venue from Muehlebach Stadium to Ruppert Stadium' and
reinstitute segregated seating' which Kling had abolished.
1936: Led by Lou Gehrig, who clouts his 33rd homer' the Yankees down the Indians' 11-7' at League Park. The loss snaps the Tribe's five-game win streak' and leaves the Yankees 8 1/2 games ahead of Cleveland. Gehrig and Red Rolfe connect for homers in the 5th to chase Mel Harder' but the Indians answer with three doubles by Earl Averill and a homer by Hal Trosky. Bump Hadley' with relief help from Johnny 'Grandma' Murphy, hangs on for his 9th win of the year.
1930; Lou Gehrig hits his 7th career grand slam' off Boston's Ed Durham' to lead the Yankees to a 14-13 slugfest win over the Red Sox. The Yanks have now hit 5 salamis in as many weeks.
1929: At the Stadium, Babe Ruth hits a fungo 447 feet in an unofficial test' beating all trial competition records. The old mark was held by Ed Walsh' who hit a ball 419 feet 6 inches in 1911. In the game today the Yanks crush the White Sox 16-2' as Lou Gehrig homers, and reaches base 5 times.
1926: At Comiskey Park, Babe Ruth breaks a 1-1 tie with an 8th inning home run to the deepest part of the right centerfield bleachers. The Yankees win 2-1 behind Sad Sam Jones for their 10th win in a row.
1922: Hank Bauer is born.
1919: AL president Ban Johnson Johnson suspends Carl Mays indefinitely and orders umpires not to let him pitch for the Yankees.
1918: The Yankees and Detroit split a pair' New York winning the opener 5-3 and Detroit' behind Ty Cobb's double and triple' take the nitecap' 6-2. Cobb' leading the AL in hitting' is 5-for-7 today.

The fantasy points accumulated by each player during one (1) weekly scoring period will be multiplied by the number of consecutive weeks in which the player has been on your roster assuming such player's team progresses through the playoffs. A player can earn bonus multipliers of 2x, 3x or 4x for a given week based on the number of weeks they were on the fantasy team roster. For example: A user selects Tom Brady, NE in the Wild Card round. Brady earns 15 fantasy points in the first weekly scoring period therefore the participant is awarded 15 points for the Þrst weekly scoring period. If NE advances to the Divisional Playoffs and the participant selects to keep Brady on his/ her roster for the second consecutive weekly scoring period, and Brady earns 20 fantasy points in his Divisional Playoff game, the participant will earn 40 points for the second consecutive weekly scoring period (20 x 2 = 40). Those 40 points will be added to the 15 points earned in the first weekly scoring period for a two-week total of 55 points (15 + 40 = 55). In addition, a user can select Tom Brady, NE in the Wild Card round even if the New England Patriots have a bye into the Divisional Round. In this case, the user would not earn any points for the Wild Card round, but would then be eligible to earn "double points" in the Divisional round, since Brady was on the team's roster for 2 weekly scoring periods.

- Water use of forests along elevation gradients in the Berchtesgaden National Park (2005)
- Forests are major sources of water vapor to the atmosphere and have an important influence on both regional and global climate. Understanding of the water exchange between the vegetation and the atmosphere, and recognition of factors to predict the water fluxes is necessary to estimate the changes in water use according to possible climate change. In this study the processes affecting the transpiration of Norway spruce (Picea abies) in the Berchtesgaden National Park along an elevation gradient were investigated. Sapflow and meteorological measurements were carried out during the summer of 2002. For each stand, structural differences (tree height, circumference, diameter (DBH), tree density, basal area) were also analyzed. For the experiment, three Norway spruce stands – with similar inclination, exposition, LAI and soil conditions, but situated at different elevations a.s.l in the Berchtesgaden National Park were selected. The transpiration rates of spruce were compared with those of other species: Fagus sylvatica, Larix decidua and Pinus mugo. In each stand, six to fifteen trees were selected for sapflow measurements. Xylem sap flux was observed with constant-heating-method according to Granier. Sapflow rates of individual trees were scaled up to the stand level according to the cross-sectional sapwood area of the DBH class (for spruce and beech) or total cross-sectional sapwood area (for larch). Within the sparse Larix decidua stand, both the sapflow in trees and water loss from understory vegetation were measured. Strong correlations between transpiration rates and maximum VPD and daily integrated PPFD were found for the experimental species. For the Norway spruce stands, needle nutrient concentrations were also determined. During the 2002 growing season (May- September), the seasonal patterns of tree canopy transpiration were similar for the different experimental stands. The highest water use was observed in June and July for spruce and dwarf-pine, and in July and August for beech. The seasonal changes in canopy transpiration and conductance, and the variation between spruce stands, may be in part explained by differences in meteorological conditions. Canopy conductance was calculated from canopy transpiration (Ec) and vapor pressure deficit (VPD). Absolute rates of seasonal canopy transpiration within experimental Picea abies sites differed greatly from 78 to 165 mm. The highest transpiration rates occurred in the lowest situated stand and they decreased with increasing elevation. The seasonal water loss from the Fagus sylvatica site (78 mm) was similar to the water loss at the highest situated spruce site. The seasonal transpiration of Pinus mugo site reached 44 mm. Transpiration of Larix decidua was only measured successfully during June and during a few days in July. A strong decrease of canopy conductance (gt) with increasing VPD was observed for all stands. The highest maximum canopy conductance for spruce, 20 mm s-1, was calculated for the 630 m site, while for the 1040 m and the 1360 m sites the maximum gtmax reached 15 mm s-1. In comparison the maximum canopy conductance for the beech site was higher than for the spruce site at the same elevation a.s.l. (630 m) and reached 30 mm s-1. The lowest maximum gt, 10 m s-1, was estimated for dwarf-pine shrub. For the examination of controls on spruce forest water use that were found along the elevation gradient, the GAS-FLUX model was used. Model simulations support two alternative hypotheses, namely that stomatal patchiness as well as carboxylation capacity (Vcmax) may have had an influence on stand water use. The modelled transpiration with changes in Vcmax was similar to estimated transpiration rates obtained by changing the "portion of leaves that are active" (stomatal patchiness). The developed model can be used for estimation of water use for other similar mountainous locations or for examination of ecosystem sensitivities to environmental changes (nitrogen supply, air temperature). The current work should stimulate further research on the detailed study of e.g. stomatal patchiness and its influence on transpiration rates, or to test the results at other sites.

Local Tibetan leader killed in hit-and-run
BY JON SEIDEL Staff Reporter email@example.com November 13, 2012 7:06AM
The street scene at the intersection of Devon and Maplewood looking East up Devon avenue where 44 year old Tsering Dorjee was a fatal victim in a hit and run incident that happened last night in Chicago. | Al Podgorski~Chicago Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: December 15, 2012 6:16AM
When Kalsang Wangmo's mother-in-law called from India to ask about her son Tuesday morning, the Rogers Park woman couldn't bring herself to tell the truth.
She told Tsering Dorjee's mother he was getting ready for work.
"I just said that, 'Oh, he's in the shower,'" Wangmo said. "I can't tell her. She had a heart problem."
The truth was Dorjee, 44, was killed Monday night after he and his brother-in-law were struck by a car in a hit-and-run collision in the West Ridge neighborhood on the North Side.
Dorjee was pronounced dead at St. Francis Hospital in Evanston at 11:30 p.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office. Dakpa Jorden, Wangmo's brother, was also injured. Wangmo said he suffered a fractured neck and leg and expected to go into surgery Tuesday morning.
The two men were crossing a street near West Devon and North Maplewood about 6 p.m. when they were hit by a motorist driving a dark-blue Volkswagen Beetle with the Illinois license plate P121817, police said.
Dorjee immigrated from India under asylum about 18 years ago, his wife said, adding he only became a U.S. citizen last month. He was a leader within the Tibetan Alliance of Chicago, Wangmo said, and he was the vice president of the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce.
"Tsering was a great man," said Autumn Davids, the chamber's secretary. "He was very much a family man. His great ability when it came to the chamber was he taught every single member of the board how to open their mind enough to accept the cultural differences when it comes to areas like Clark Street and like Devon Avenue."
Then she added, "It takes a monster to drive away after someone's hurt."
Wangmo was in tears Tuesday as she talked about her husband, a man she's known since she was 8 or 9 years old. They went to the same high school in India, she said, but fell out of touch when he moved to the United States. They were reunited when Dorjee, while living in Chicago, saw her father during a visit to India. He gave Dorjee her phone number.
Together the couple had three boys — Tenzin Thinlay, 6, Tenzin Dhargyal, 3 and Tenzin Jordan, 1 — who roamed their apartment Tuesday amid Mickey Mouse toys and children's bicycles while Sesame Street played on the television. They had yet to fully understand what happened to their father.
Wangmo said she doesn't know what her husband and brother-in-law were doing when they crossed the street Monday night. Their work schedules made it difficult to spend time together, she said. Jorden works for Panera Bread, she said, while Dorjee worked for the Cook County Clerk's Office for 14 years.
"Tsering Dorjee was a much-loved member of my Vital Records staff since 1998," said Cook County Clerk David Orr. "Tsering was an incredibly kind soul and dedicated public servant. News of his death this morning brought his co-workers to tears. Our deepest condolences go to his wife, children and family. He will be dearly missed."
Lhakpa Tsering and Karma Dhargyal of the Tibetan Alliance of Chicago visited Wangmo's apartment to offer condolences, as well. They said about 300 people make up the local Tibetan Alliance, but the group has never experienced such a sudden, unexpected death.
"We seek the justice for the death," Lhakpa Tsering said. "We want to seek the justice, and the perpetrator has to be prosecuted."
The men also said they wanted to help Wangmo. But the stay-at-home mother was already wondering Tuesday how she and the boys will survive without Dorjee, who worked to support his family while she took care of the children at home.
Wangmo said they'll likely be forced to move back to India. At least there, she said, they'll have family.
"I don't know nobody here in Chicago," Wangmo said.

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."
Clarice Lispector ( 1920-1977) - Perfumes da Terra / Earth Perfumes

We classify our silk flowers as either a flower spray, flower bush or a bridal bouquet. A flower spray or stem may contain a single or multiple flowers, but they are all attached to what looks like a single stem. A flower bush has multiple stems attached to a 4-6" non-decorative plug that can inserted into any pot or vase. We don't recommend glass vases as you'll see the plug. Our flower bouquets or bundles contain multiple individual flower stems that can usually be taken apart if you'd like.

Question: How is an Artificial plant or Artificial tree measured? -back to top
Answer: In keeping with industry standards, any flower, plant or tree that come with a pot are measured from the floor to the outstretched tip on the top (including the pot). Flowers, plants and trees that do not include a pot are measured from the base of the stem to the outstretched tip on the top.
When we say an artificial tree is 6' high we are measuring from the bottom of the container or tree trunk to the top of the tree, extending the longest leaf or frond as we measure. For hanging baskets, for example, the length of the artificial flower or artificial plant is the longest hanging stem measured when it is fully extended. When we specify that a plant is 37" wide we measure the plant with the leaves or stems extended to the sides. Shaping these plants and trees will reduce the size.
PLEASE NOTE: Plant and tree heights are approximate. As they are hand made taller plants may vary a few inches in height. Floral arrangements are more exact as these are pre-arranged and do not change shape after being created.
Question: Can I break a case and order only 1 item? -back to top
Answer: In order to provide our customers with the lowest possible price our items are sold in case quantities only. If the item title and/or description of the item states 'Case of ...' then you are obligated to purchase the entire case. You also cannot mix and match colors of the same product codes to equal a case quantity.
Question: What are your products made of? -back to top
Answer: Artificial plants and artificial flowers are commonly referred to as 'silk flowers'. However, materials used to make the artificial flowers and artificial plants vary by style and type and range from various synthetic fabrics to latex materials. Artificial trees often may have a real tree trunk with artificial branches.
Question: What's the difference between standard and handwrapped silk? -back to top
Answer: Standard Silk: Artificial flowers are commonly referred to as "silk flowers", however, materials used to make the artificial flowers and artificial plants vary by style and type and range from various synthetic fabrics to latex materials.
Handwrapped Silk: These are assembled by hand have their stems wrapped with tape. These tend to be higher quality and more realistic, and also harder to cut due to the amount of wire used in the leaves and stem.
Question: Can they be put outdoors? -back to top
Answer: Although the plants CAN be used as outdoor decoration, it is not advised to hang or leave the flowers, trees, and bushes in direct sunlight. Most of our products are made out of materials that will eventually fade like any other fabric when left out in the sun. They do last longer if put under the shade. Heavy rain and wind may also knock the fronds out of the trunk.
We do stock plants and trees designed for exterior use. Although they do cost more, it's up to you to determine whether the cost of replacing a silk tree every year or two is worth it compared to one that is designed to never fade or deteriorate outdoors. Please see our UV Proof page for more info.
Question: How do I care for and maintain the plants? -back to top
Answer: We recommend that artificial floral arrangements and artificial plants be dusted much the same as you dust your home or office. Most artificial plants can be wiped with a moist cloth if necessary.
First test the plant with your tap water - remove one leaf from an inconspicuous portion of your artificial plant and rinse it with tap water then shake it out. After a few minutes, check the leaf to see if it's clean and the shine has returned.. After your have tested your leaf, the best thing to do is to take the plant outside and dust it with a feather duster. This will remove most of the dust and prime your plant for cleaning.
Cover your pot and filler with plastic for protection from the water. Make sure your silk plant is on a clean surface near a water hose. Use the spray nozzle on your hose. Spray your plant thoroughly with a light spray. When you're done, shake it lightly to get most of the water off and allow it to dry in the sun for a few hours.
This is a good regimen to be done about ever 3 to 6 months. Between those times, we suggest that you use a good feather duster to keep your artificial plants looking fresh and new.
Question: How long does it take for you to respond to my email? -back to top
Answer: Emails are replied within a 24 hours period, including weekends. Most times you should get an answer back within a few hours though. Your questions and concerns are very important to us, and we will do our very best to reply back with a response as soon as we possibly can.
Question: How are orders shipped? -back to top
Answer: Whenever possible, all shipments will be made via USPS Priority, UPS Ground or FedEx Home Delivery. Very few of our large items must be crated and shipped via common carrier.
Question: Do you ship internationally? -back to top
Answer: We currently only accept small to medium sized orders through our checkout page to any country that accepts USPS Priority.
Question: How long does it take for me to receive my order? -back to top
Answer: For all domestic orders we currently offer:
Standard Shipping: approximately 5-10 business days for arrival
Priority 5 Day Shipping: approximately 1-5 business days for arrival
Priority 3 Day Shipping: guaranteed delivery by the end of the third business day
If you need your item guaranteed by a certain date please note it in your order and we will determine whether it's possible with the shipping option you chose. Items shipped to Alaska or Hawaii may take a couple additional days. Priority 3 Day Shipping is not available to Hawaii.
We will also ship items via overnight or two day guaranteed. Please read our Shipping & Terms page for more information.
All International orders are shipped within 3-10 business days and take approximately an additional 6-10 business days to arrive.
Question: Can I track my order after it's been shipped? -back to top
Answer: Most of our orders shipped will come with proof of delivery in the form of a delivery confirmation from USPS, or a tracking number for UPS & FedEx. Your account will be updated and an email will be sent approximately 1 business day after your order has shipped.
Question: What payment methods do you accept? -back to top
Answer: We accept payments through PayPal plus all major credit cards: VISA, MasterCard, Discover & American Express.
Question: What is your return policy? -back to top
Answer: Please read our Return Policy under our Shipping & Terms Page.
Question: Do you offer wholesale prices? -back to top
Answer: Yes. Our wholesale prices are available to both the general public and businesses alike. To receive our wholesale pricing, items need to be purchased in the highest case quantities noted on each item page; usually either in quantities of 2 or 6 items/cases. Because we sell direct even our single case prices are a lot lower than retail, but you can save even more by buying multiple cases. Our wholesale pricing is the last column in our volume discount pricing block.
If your order contains a mix and match of different items that exceed a total of at least 20 cases but that isn't receiving the best price, please contact us so that me may determine whether your order can be upgraded to the lowest case price shown on each item page.

Hoffman Estates High School basketball team disciplined for hazing allegations
BY BECKY SCHLIKERMAN Staff firstname.lastname@example.com December 1, 2012 4:03PM
Updated: January 3, 2013 10:57AM
The Hoffman Estates High School boys' varsity basketball team has been disciplined following hazing allegations, school officials said.
The team will forfeit three games as a result of a district investigation into hazing allegations, Township High School District 211 school board president Robert LeFevre said.
District officials were made aware of allegations of hazing Friday afternoon, and the district opened an investigation. The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and Hoffman Estates police were contacted.
Hoffman Estates police are working with the district, according to a news release issued Saturday by the department.
The district's own investigation into the 14-player team has concluded, LeFevre said, adding that he does not know what the allegations consisted of.
He said no students were singled out.
"As far as I know this applies to the entire team," LeFevre said.
He said the coaches had not been disciplined.
"Thank goodness no coaches were involved or aware of anything," LeFevre said.
The coach, Luke Yanule, could not be reached but his father Robert, said, "Whatever happened, he reported it right away — immediately."
Suburban high school athlete hazing has made headlines in recent weeks with several soccer players at Maine West High School alleging they were initiated into the team by players sodomizing them with sticks and fingers, according to a lawsuit and Des Plaines police reports. The police reports indicate a coach at that school knew about some of the hazing.
The situation in Hoffman Estates "really does not mirror Maine West," said the mother of a Hoffman Estates varsity basketball player.

Community banks have long looked to technology to help them achieve operational efficiencies throughout the institution, from core processing to front-line teller operations. Technology has also been leveraged by many for competitive advantages, positioning the community bank to offer a wide range of services that will attract and retain customers.
The 2010 ICBA Community Bank Technology Survey showed that technology continues to be a critical area for most community banks with 82 percent indicating steady or rising technology budgets. Sixty percent plan to evaluate and integrate new technologies, an obvious indicator that community banks are not sitting still in their quests for greater efficiencies and competitive positioning. It is clear that innovative technology is seen not merely as a nice to have but as a must have in order to compete against larger rivals.
Of course, competition at its core is about the battle for customers. During the 20082009 banking turmoil, many community banks were actually able to gain new business as uneasy customers sought the type of relationship banking that is the hallmark of community banks.
However, competition for customers is as fierce as ever, especially for the profitable commercial and retail accounts. To build the base of business customers, community banks need to offer services that will attract these customers including remote deposit capture, check imaging and archiving, and multiple document processing. These capabilities also enable community banks to expand their reach far beyond the one-mile radius that a typical branch serves. Recent technology breakthroughs have made these services more affordable and feasible even right at the teller line.
Capturing New Customers Through Advanced Technology Solutions
Remote deposit capture in particular is of increasing importance to commercial and merchant customers, yet 30 percent of community banks do not offer it according to the technology survey. Another 58 percent do offer RDC but outsource the function. Clearly, there is opportunity here. Again looking at competitive positioning, 97 percent of larger banks with more than $500 million in assets offered RDC. Merchant customers are looking for banking partners who offer RDC as they realize the merits of scanning checks right at their location and transmitting the data electronically for posting and clearing transportation time and costs are saved and their accounts are credited faster.
Adoption barriers include the merchants banks not offering the service and limitations of check-scanning equipment in terms of speed and image quality. Recent technology, however, is now available for scanning and capturing images at 400 checks per minute, making RDC more viable for check-intensive merchants and commercial accounts. A further huge advantage is that these same devices can also process currency, bringing an extremely attractive solution to these customers who generally will also have heavy cash processing needs. Community banks can bring these dual-efficient solutions to the table and secure more market share within this profitable customer segment.
Helping commercial customers increase internal efficiency while also gaining the benefits of RDC can strengthen the offering to these customers, build customer satisfaction and expand account growth. The potential is considerable of the 24 million businesses in the UnitedStates (2007), approximately 1617 million are potential RDC users. Further, putting these devices at customer locations also expands the geographic reach of the community bank as the banking relationship is not dependent on physical accessibility.
Improving Operational Efficiency and Customer Satisfaction
This same technology can be parlayed for competitive advantage even for accounts that do not want to incorporate RDC or prefer the in-person type of banking relationship. Community banks can themselves use this two-in-one technology right at the teller line and with the ability to run checks and currency quickly, can market this service as a time-saving solution. Merchant accounts can eliminate the need to separate checks and currency, simply wrapping them together and bringing them to the bank. More importantly, because tellers can process and balance the customers entire deposits checks, cash and deposit slips right at the window, the customer gets quicker credit in his account, knows he has no errors and is assured that the deposit is in sync with what was entered into the account system at the store.
Processing and imaging checks, cash and deposit slips together is called multiple document processing, a concept that also brings tremendous operational efficiencies to the bank. Many financial institutions are trying to migrate as much as possible to teller capture, where deposits are balanced at the teller and deposits remain intact. This eliminates costly and time-consuming balancing and MICR line correction errors in the back room. Todays technology even allows elimination of cash-in/cash-out slips because the entire deposit is electronically scanned, balanced and transmitted to check operations for processing.
Conservative management is one of the defining characteristics and success factors of community banks. At the same time, the challenging competitive landscape demands innovation and differentiation, both of which todays technology can help achieve. Check imaging and remote deposit capture have already played a key role in the growth strategy for many community banks. As technology innovations enable easier adoption along with added capabilities, banks can compete even more effectively and gain market share.
Meeting the competition head-on by being able to provide the services that customers want is good. Being able to beat the competition by offering a level of services not currently in wide use is even better.

Vendor Q&A
What are the latest developments in RDC?
Harland: Financial institutions are expecting additional enhancements around risk management. Fraud still is important, but there are only small isolated cases today as merchant capture is largely done for small business clients. As the industry expands to consumer capture technologies, the risks will increase and providers need to provide the tools to manage those increased risks.
Bluepoint: Electronic check processing continues to spread to capture points beyond the branch. In the next year, look for expanded deployment of teller capture, ATM capture and mobile capture. Bluepoint is also seeing growth and more demand for RDC technology within the back offices of financial institutions, particularly in the mailroom with remittance processing combined with deposit processing. Financial institutions are exploring ways to add additional value to check processing, particularly with fraud, counterfeit and check-loss reduction enhancements.
CFC: The second half of 2011 has brought a renewed focus on remote deposit capture. Financial institutions that previously purchased RDC solutions that have not kept pace with their needs (logo/branding, thick client software solutions, FI-dependent installation and support models) are causing FIs to replace these original solutions in favor of lower cost, less complex and less internal resource-dependent RDC solutions.
What trends are you seeing in terms of bank deployment and business demand/acceptance?
Bluepoint: The noise about business or corporate RDC has been drowned out by the buzz of mobile RDC. It still represents a lot of potential growth for financial institutions looking to bolster their business banking services, but hasnt seen the same type of growth as other RDC points.
CFC: Remote deposit continues to be added by FIs that, up until now, felt little customer or competitive pressure to offer remote deposit capture services. Small community banks are adding remote deposit to satisfy their best accounts and to retain customers who may leave in search of another FI that already offers remote deposit services.
Remote deposit continues to be sticky with less than 2 percent of businesses discontinuing using remote deposit once they have had it for more than 60 days. We are seeing an increased trend of business owners who are willing to pay for remote deposit capture services once they understand the benefits and what their actual costs of taking deposits to their financial institutions are.
Harland: Many banks are getting more aggressive in their plans and efforts to market RDC services to their small business customers. Many banks focused first on their middle market and larger customers. As the price of the scanners has come down, and there are new options such as using a mobile device, the attraction of the offering for the small business has increased. Creative programs are being developed to market RDC to small businesses, often through the branch network.
Is RDC winning new customers for banks?
CFC: Yes! Community banks that are focusing on customers needs are winning new business accounts. Large national and regional banks have done a poor job of offering customized solutions to their customers, choosing to use a one-size-fits-all approach particularly with remote deposit. Most small businesses have been ignored. Community banks will find opportunities in offering more affordable remote deposit solutions to these small business and home office customers. Another market that has been underserved is larger companies that process remittance coupons with their check payments. These companies want to continue to process their own payments and want more capabilities than just capturing and transmitting checks to their banks. Banks that have integrated accounting capabilities in their remote deposit capture solutions will have an opportunity to obtain these large accounts as new customers.
Bluepoint: Mobile RDC on its own isnt enough to attract new customers. However, when deployed as part of a comprehensive mobile strategy, the customer engagement becomes richer and more valuable in terms of accessing up-to-date account information, managing finances in a meaningful way that includes sending payments through multiple methods, and even applying for new financial products from a bank or credit union. When launched as part of an integrated mobile banking strategy, mobile RDC will be key in winning new customers for banks.

We Regret To Inform YouMarch 16, 2010 10:36 am | by by David Mantey, Editor, PD&D | Blogs | Comments
When I put together a comprehensive daily news resource (fancy talk for the PD&D Design Daily ), I have the opportunity to not only cover the latest news in the industry, but I also have a chance to transform into a maniacal news junkie. I click on provocative headlines to read about the unfixable economy, to listen to analysts bang their chests and make wild predictions in hopes of creating some new conventional wisdom by sparking a little awareness-building fear, and to sift through the PR rabble — it's a practice similar to listening to white noise for hours with hopes of connecting to voices from the other side (dead people).

My Doctor Rocks, Scene #01
My Doctor Rocks, Scene #01
Hot House Video
- 8.9/10
Sean Duran visits HH General expecting a follow-up exam from Dr. Santoro so when Dr. Angel Rock comes in he's a bit agitated. All of Duran's fears that Dr. Rock won't prescribe the right treatment are extinguished when the horny doctor goes straight for his cock and swallows it to the base. Dr. Rock shoves his gloved finger into the muscular patient's tight hole and massages his prostate then stands up to feed Duran his thick uncut cock. Duran pays special attention to Rock's foreskin then opens wide to take every inch of the hot doctor-dick. The twisted exam continues as Dr. Rock orders Duran to bend over the exam table so he can fuck his huge ass. Rock shoves all 8+ inches into the stud's hole and pounds him hard. Duran rolls over on his back and strokes a load out of his own big cock followed by Dr. Rock who jerks his meat and blows all over the handsome patient's washboard abs.
