BankSA has built its reputation on its support for customers and the communities in which it operates. We continually seek to improve our products and services for customers and to identify issues that are important to the community so we can respond appropriately.
Continuous dialogue with stakeholders is essential to ensure we stay informed about emerging trends and current issues. To that end we obtain stakeholder views through consultative councils, committees and forums, online feedback, research and by tracking complaints.
In recent times financial hardship, fees and rates, customer service and responsible banking have been identified as broader material issues. However, we are currently engaged in an exercise that will give us a more comprehensive understanding of these and other issues of importance to the people from whom we draw our support. We are doing this through stakeholder mapping, research, peer reviews, interviews with executives and by surveying employees who have volunteered to champion sustainability at work.
Putting our customers first is not simply an empty slogan. We express this commitment in a range of practical ways:
Customer security: We protect customers against fraud by providing leading-edge, industry standard technology and processes. Our advanced computer systems are designed to detect potentially fraudulent transactions.
Helping hearing and vision impaired customers: We provide a variety of accessibility options for hearing-impaired customers: text telephone (TTY) facilities, links to the National Relay Service and access to interpreters through various state organisations. For our vision-impaired customers, our internet banking service is compatible with screen reading software, and a large number of our ATMs are equipped with tactile keypads and text-to-voice capability.
Discounted banking for community groups: We offer a range of products for people with special needs, including discounted banking for pensioner account holders, physically and mentally disabled customers, students, concession cardholders and not-for-profit organisations, plus specialised services for rural customers.
Resolving complaints quickly and fairly: Because customer feedback allows us to continually improve our service, we encourage open lines of communication, invite customers' suggestions for improvement and have established procedures for registering a complaint.
Award-winning products: Our efforts to provide customers with the best possible service and the greatest range of products have been recognised. Here's a list of some of the awards we've won recently.
What does responsible banking mean for BankSA? First, it covers how we educate our customers and the community about financial literacy to help them to understand and manage their finances. Second, it's about the policies and practices we have in place to demonstrate that we are responsible in the way we lend money.
Financial literacy
SENSE: One of the best ways to master budgeting and saving is to put good habits in place. That's what the BankSA SENSE account aims to do. It's a budget and savings account that's designed to help customers manage their money better. The two accounts – the Savings Everyday Transaction account and SENSE Savings account – are combined on one easy-to-read statement each month. You can set savings targets, establishing how much and how often you want to transfer money from your transaction account into your savings account. The monthly statement comes with helpful charts which group transactions into expense categories, compare what your money is doing every month and track your savings progress. In April 2010 SENSE won the Canstar Cannex Award for Innovation Excellence and in June it was awarded the Innovative Retail Banking Product of the Year at the Australian Banking + Finance Awards.
Customers facing financial hardship: The BankSA Assist team finds solutions for customers facing financial hardship. The team assesses the situation and provides information and solutions to help customers manage their financial obligations with us. All options are considered, and a solution is tailored to suit each customer's individual needs. These options are presented to the customer, who chooses which option will best improve his or her current and future financial position.
We also help to provide support to individuals and families in financial crisis through our financial support to the Wesley Mission Credit Line consumer education program. The program provides guidelines for managing money, including common financial pitfalls to avoid.
Materials are provided to community groups and are available on the Wesley Mission Credit Line website.
There's no doubt that we're witnessing a wider social change in the way people borrow and save. We acknowledge our obligation to market our products responsibly and stay in touch with the customer and community expectations.
As part of the Westpac Group, we comply with 'Our Principles for Doing Business' which form the bedrock of our commitment to responsible lending. The Principles can be found on the website of our parent company, the Westpac Group.
We seek to lend only what our customers can afford to repay.
This means that as well as our own credit assessment policies we comply with relevant legislation, Code of Banking Practice, and relevant guidelines published by the Banking and Financial Services Ombudsman.
It also means we follow a strict loan criteria process. We use credit scoring, credit reference agency checking and affordability verification to make a full assessment of a person's capacity to repay. We allocate credit authority based on skills and experience and give customers the information they need to make confident financial decisions.
We market our products and services responsibly.
We're committed to acting with integrity. We follow ethical and legal selling practices and give customers information that helps them make informed decisions about our products and services. We only offer credit card limit increases to customers on the basis of strict eligibility criteria and ensure all these offers come with an affordability statement, clarity on the new minimum payment required and options to lower existing or new credit limits. As a matter of policy, we exclude customers who receive government benefits as their sole income, those with a poor repayment history and those who've opted out of unsolicited contact. We continually monitor our credit assessment processes.
We support customers facing financial difficulty.
This means we encourage customers facing financial difficulty to talk to us directly. We treat every case individually and assist people to gain access to local, fee-free and independent financial counselling services. We encourage open discussion of issues and accept responsibility for managing issues that arise. This includes taking personal accountability for resolving issues that are brought to our attention.
Moreover we proactively contact customers who may be experiencing financial difficulty in managing their credit cards. And we provide relief to customers in difficulty as a result of natural disaster. This relief includes deferred payments, discounted refinancing and interest penalty waivers. We also offer deferred payment options (repayment holidays) for customers to help them deal with changing circumstances.
We help to improve our stakeholders' financial literacy and capability.
This means we're committed to providing public access to our money management, budgeting, saving, risk and spending educational materials. Those who can access these materials include schools, business and community groups. We are committed to giving people with disabilities, those living in remote locations and those from non-English speaking backgrounds access to our products and services.
We also support improved financial literacy and access to finance for the Indigenous community with our parent company's participation in programs such as the Indigenous Banking Reference Group and the Australian Financial Inclusion Network.
Financial Claims Scheme for Authorised Deposit-Taking Institutions
The Financial Claims Scheme (FCS) is the Australian Government's guarantee on deposits and is administered by APRA. The FCS guarantees deposits, up to a cap, held in Australian banks, building societies and credit unions (Authorised Deposit- taking Institutions or ADIs). It protects depositors by giving them quick access to their funds if an ADI becomes insolvent.
From 1 February 2012, the FCS guarantees deposits up to a cap of $250,000 per account-holder, per ADI. Special provisions apply to term deposits which existed on or before 10 September 2011.
The FCS applies to deposits held in Westpac Banking Corporation, including its Divisions - BankSA, St.George Bank, Bank of Melbourne and those branded RAMS.

We recognise the difficulties for anyone, especially our customers, when they are involved in family law proceedings. Where those proceedings involve matrimonial property or financial obligations, those proceedings may involve us as your bank.
For example, where you have joint debts (such as credit cards, personal loans and home loans), and a jointly owned matrimonial home, the court may order us to release one of you from a joint debt. When the court makes such an order it will take into account our views on each spouse's individual capacity to repay the debt, and may seek further information on this from us.
If we receive such an order we will where appropriate, 're-originate' the debt. This means that if for example you have a home loan account in both of your names, that loan account may be closed, at which point the spouse who will be solely responsible for the debt will need to apply for a new replacement loan in his or her name only.
Alternatively in some circumstances the existing joint loan account may be able to be transferred into one of your names.
In circumstances where a court does not make such an order on the bank, and you want to transfer a joint debt into only one of your names, you will need our consent. Even if you both agree that only one of you will be responsible to repay the debt, we still have the right to require either or both of you to repay it (except of course where we have agreed to the change to who is liable to repay the debt or, a court has ordered us to relieve one of you of your obligation to repay the debt).
Guidelines for parties involved in family law proceedings
These guidelines aim to assist you with:

Question though: directed towards JWKessler (an anyone else who might know), what would happen if you connected your cable tv feed to the OTA tuner input?
has anyone tried to pull in a digital HD OTA signal directly thru it? I'm curious to test this myself but I dont have cable at home, I'd hafta take a receiver over to my folks house to try it.
The OTA tuner in Dish receivers (and I assume DirecTV receivers as well,) will only receive and decode over the air digital ATSC broadcasts picked up by an antenna. It will not receive the old NTSC analog TV over the air or from cable nor will it decode the digital QAM signal used by cable operators. If my VIP722 had a QAM tuner I would be a very happy fella!
Most modern TVs and the few outboard tuners you might find will receive both ATSC and QAM digital signals. I don't know why QAM isn't included in the Dish tuner, but perhaps it was omitted intentionally to avoid conflicts with cable operators.
I'm unaware of any third party device that will tune in and record a clear QAM signal without paying a monthly fee. TIVO has a $15/month fee or a one time $500 life time fee. I contacted my cable company about renting one of their DVRs but that won't work unless I subscribe to a full digital package and I'm unwilling to pay for two TV services with lots of duplicate channels.
If you are looking to be really educated on all of these standards here is a good place to start.

Press Releases
The Renaissance Resort at World Golf Village Named One of "Top 100 Golf Resorts" by Condéé Nast Traveler
ST. AUGUSTINE, FL (September 2005) - The Renaissance Resort at World Golf Village in St. Augustine has again been named to Condé Nast Traveler magazine's prestigious "Top 100 Golf Resorts" list. Golf subscribers of the popular travel magazine were asked to vote for their favorite golf resorts in the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, Canada, Ireland and Scotland. More than 330 golf resorts were considered, with properties rated on course design, speed of play, rooms, service, food/dining, and other facilities. Only properties that received a high percentage of ratings of excellent or very good were included on the list. This year marked the tenth year of the magazine's golf resorts survey.
"We're very honored to be included on this very prestigious list, " said the resort's general manager Terry Crawford. "Condé Nast is one of the premier travel publications, and we're pleased that they recognize our resort as among the very best."
This recognition follows another award recently bestowed on the resort. The 300-room Renaissance Resort at World Golf Village recently received the prestigious "Gold Tee Award" from Meetings & Conventions magazine, which is given annually to the world's finest golf resort properties. Winners of the Gold Tee Award were nominated and selected by readers of the magazine based on the overall experience, including overall staff attitude, quality of guest service, range of recreation facilities, quality of the guest rooms and meeting facilities, proficiency of handling reservations, and availability of technical/support equipment. For the year 2005, only 60 domestic and eight offshore/international golf properties earned enough votes to win the Gold Tee Award.
The Renaissance Resort is ideally situated in the heart of the beautifully landscaped 6,300-acre World Golf Village in St. Augustine, Florida. Among the many resort offerings are two extraordinary 18-hole championship courses that were designed by the legends of the game. King & Bear is the only course in the world designed jointly by Arnold Palmer ("The King") and Jack "The Bear" Nicklaus. This picturesque 7,279-yard course features loblolly pines, open meadows, impressive 200-year-old oak trees, and placid lakes edged with large coquina rocks.
The resort's other course, Slammer & Squire, is named for legendary Hall of Famers "Slammin" Sam Snead and Gene "The Squire" Sarazen. They partnered with architect Bobby Weed to create this impressive par 72 tree-lined course which features gentle rolling fairways and challenging lakes.
In addition to its two golf courses, The Renaissance Resort has a wealth of other recreational offerings. These include a 24-hour health club and sauna, professional golf simulator, large pool, hot tub, tennis courts, child activity program, cigar club, billiard room, 24-hour business center, jogging trails, and full-service concierge. Guests also have privileges at the private oceanfront Serenata Beach Club, and have access to the PGA TOUR Golf Academy, the new PGA TOUR Spa Laterra, an 18-hole putting course, and Island Challenge Hole.
The resort is conveniently located next to the World Golf Hall of Fame, the renowned Walk of Champions with bricks featuring signatures of past and present golf legends, an IMAX® Theater, and a boutique avenue with an assortment of specialty shops and restaurants.
In addition to its recreational offerings, The Renaissance Resort is the ultimate meeting destination for groups of all sizes with multiple interests. Together with the adjoining St. Johns County Convention Center and the adjacent World Golf Hall of Fame, the resort is the largest combination hotel and conference center between Atlanta and Orlando, with 86,000 square feet of meeting space.
The 10-story Renaissance Resort offers spectacular views overlooking the Village's picturesque lake and golf courses, and features a towering open atrium lobby complete with running streams, a cascading waterfall, and exotic 30-foot palms. Limestone, marble and granite floors in the lobby set the stage for a grand resort.
Those interested in visiting the resort should take advantage of the "Swing and Stay Golf Package" now being offered by the resort. The package includes deluxe accommodations, one round of golf with cart on the King & Bear or Slammer & Squire, club storage, GPS yardage system, range balls, and a two-for-one drink coupon at the resort's Links Lounge. The package is from $125 per person, per night (based on double occupancy), and it is only available Sunday-Thursday. All taxes and fees are included. Renaissance at World Golf Village Named To "Top 100 Golf Resorts" List.

How To Multiply Successful Linking Strategies seerinteractive.comSubmitted by ben_beck Sep 13 2012 in SEO 0 Comments Discuss (0) |
When it comes to link building so much time is put into researching, planning, and executing each strategy. When a strategy is successful you already have all the planning done, and know how to execute it. All that remains is to find more sites that are similar to the one that was successful.

I've always been a lots-of-eyeliner kind of girl – probably because I've always loved the sixties.
I'm only just starting to be brave and try proper grown-up lipsticks now I'm in my (late) 30s – it's kind of scary trying to embrace bright reds when you're scared of looking like a clown.
I was put off about 10 years ago when I confidently waltzed into work one day wearing bright red lippy only to have about 20 different people ask me why I was wearing lipstick?!
If it had been somebody else would they have asked that? Did I look that odd, or was it just that they weren't used to me looking like that? Anyway, that put me off trying that again for another 5 years or so!
Anyway it got me thinking – girls which do you choose, big eye makeup or lots of lipstick?

/// Exclusive: As Expected, Ross Levinsohn Departs Yahoo
As I previously reported he likely would, top Yahoo exec Ross Levinsohn — who lost the CEO race to former Google exec Marissa Mayer — is leaving the company, according to several sources. Mayer also just sent a note to the company about the departure, added other sources across the company. Levinsohn, who took over as interim CEO in the wake of the ouster of Scott Thompson earlier this year, had been running the Americas unit of the Silicon Valley Internet giant. That put him in charge of key Yahoo businesses, including its media and advertising sales units. The pair have been negotiating his exit for several days, sources said, which is not surprising given the awkward circumstance between them. While Mayer might have benefited from Levinsohn's close ties with key marketing players and his content experience, her intense focus on products and not on media likely mean that she will likely rely on a more tech-heavy leadership team going forward. Levinsohn does not apparently have any current plans for another gig, but as an experienced and very well-liked online media exec will likely have many options. He came to Yahoo in late 2010 , replacing Hilary Schneider, in the regime of Carol Bartz, who was later fired. Levinsohn arrived at Yahoo from Fuse Capital, where he worked with Jon Miller — now chief digital officer at News Corp

Translating the Web: Web Site Development for an Asian Audience
By Jacqueline Sinex
Jacqueline Sinex has been working with WebXess, Inc. since 1998, communicating with clients about web site design, development, and web hosting. With an extensive creative background including over 10 years of fine arts education, Ms. Sinex also facilitates a majority of front-end graphics and art direction. For comments about this article, email email@example.com.
In all aspects of marketing, the Eastern world is breaking through to the West. More and more businesses are expanding product lines and services into a new market that involves countries in East Asia. Whether a business forms an alliance with a Chinese company to use its resources for a project, or it sells directly to Japanese consumers, it is clear that key media materials should be appropriate for Asian audiences.
"A company's web site is one of the most crucial marketing tools in overseas endeavors," said Jacqueline Sinex, project manager for WebXess, Inc.
"The web is the easiest and quickest way to communicate a ton of information to your long-distance peers. If you are serious about making and keeping relationships with businesses or consumers overseas, it is one of the first mediums you should think about."
Just as there are many ways of using the Internet to promote your business, there are many ways to present a web site in another language. Some companies choose to translate an existing web site's entire content in an alternative language so that those foreign audiences are able to enjoy the same experience that English-speaking visitors do. This may involve using an experienced web developer and translation services to create a replica of the web site that is accessed with simple language-specific links, or special software can be used to automatically translate the web site based on a pre-defined dictionary.
Another approach is to create a separate web presence tailored to the specific products and services being offered to the Asian community. In a recent project that WebXess assisted with, the client elected to compose an entirely unique web site with a separate domain name.
"The content of the web site was an abbreviated version of the company's portfolio, and all text, down to the smallest instruction, was in Chinese. The web site was not crowded with other service information that doesn't relate to that audience," Sinex said.
With the increasing popularity of Asian business relationships, translation assistance is becoming a more available and competitive service. There are now as many as 50 translation service providers in Austin alone. Also, many of the automated software options are becoming more sophisticated and include more Asian language support. Respected translation resources include tools from Systran, Applied Language, Google, and Alta Vista as well as many open source projects.
"There are dozens of translation software programs available today," said Adnan Wasim, a web developer and systems administrator at WebXess.
Web site development companies like WebXess have recognized the value of this trend and started spreading the word to small business owners.
"You don't have to be a large business to take advantage of new trends," Sinex said. Web site marketing is one of the reasons that small and medium-sized businesses are breaking new ground without breaking the bank. By translating your web site into targeted languages, you show consumers, business partners, and competitors that you are thinking about the future."

Build This Beautiful Table for Two
An updated version of a 1939 PopMech project, this chic table can be built with scrap wood.
By Ted Kilcommons
[3] Lumber Supports
On the stretcher, mark two mortises 1½ inches wide by 1¾ inches deep and positioned 18 inches from each end. Drill a relief hole in a corner, then cut out the mortise using a jigsaw. Cut a tenon 1½ inches long and 1¾ inches wide to match these mortises in one end of each table upright.

Home > Health & Wellness > Health Library > Seborrheic Keratosis: Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is the use of extreme cold, in the form of
liquid nitrogen, to remove skin growths such as
seborrheic keratoses.
This simple procedure usually takes less than a
minute and can be done in your doctor's office. Your doctor applies the liquid
nitrogen using a probe or a cotton swab, or he or she sprays the liquid
nitrogen directly onto the skin growth.
Cryotherapy can cause
moderate pain that can last up to 3 days. Healing is generally quick (7 to 14
days). Expect a blister to develop within hours after treatment. The blister
will dry up over the next few days, and the keratosis should fall off.
Cryotherapy causes little or no scarring, though some people,
particularly those with darker skin, experience permanent skin-color
lightening. Talk to your doctor to see if cryotherapy is right for

Japan Wins First Concert Round in BBC Cardiff Singer of the World 2009
Cardiff: 8 June 2009 — Japanese soprano Eri Nakamura last night (SUN) won the opening concert round in BBC Cardiff Singer of the World.
This is a revised version of my review of the Sept 5th 1991American premiere of The Death of Klinghoffer, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The opera was first performed at Brussels' La Monnaie the previous spring.
"Although there are now more people on this planet than there have ever been before, there are fewer dramatic voices. Something is wrong with that equation. I thought there needs to be some sort of helping hand so that dramatic voices don't fall through the cracks in the system as they advance through their various stages of development."
Anna Prohaska sings Sister Constance in Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites at the Royal Opera House. In the same month, she's also in London to sing a recital with Eric Schneider at the Wigmore Hall, and to sing Henze with Sir Simon Rattle at the Barbican Hall.
Garsington Opera celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
Baritone Brandon Coleman's mother, Linda, knew that 3-year old Brandon would be a great singer when a stranger who had heard him, predicted it.
Professional opera returns to the Las Vegas Valley June 6th and 8th with performances of one of the best-known comic operas of all time, Gioachino Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia.
I met with the embattled artistic director of the Opéra et Orchestre National de Montepellier not to talk about his battles. I simply wanted to know the man who had cast and staged a truly extraordinary Mozart/DaPonte trilogy.
Maria Nockin interviews tenor Saimir Pirgu.
Italian conductor Claudio Abbado, former principal conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, has died aged 80
Matthew Polenzani reprises the role of the Chevalier des Grieux in Jules Massenet's Manon at the Royal Opera House. "I love coming back to London", he says, "It's a very good house and they take care of you as a singer. And the level of music making is unbelievably high".
On Saturday evening January 25, San Diego Opera opens its 2014 season with Ruggero Leoncavallo's verismo blockbuster Pagliacci (Clowns).
The Flying Dutchman is a transitional piece because Wagner was only beginning to establish his style. He took some aspects from Carl Maria von Weber and others from Italian composers like Vincenzo Bellini.
The Royal Opera House has its own DVD arm, Opus Arte, and is developing quite a global following with its cinema broadcasts.
On a personal level, I feel that Dolores is almost like Emmeline grown up. Their circumstances are not exactly parallel, but they are both women at very different points in their lives whose stories involve dilemmas with life-changing outcomes.
With the help of Andrew Welch, a London theatrical producer who had adapted several of King's works for the stage, including this one, I got the rights to both Dolores Claiborne and Misery.
On September 18, 2013, San Francisco Opera will present the world premiere of Tobias Picker's opera, Dolores Claiborne, which has a libretto by J. D. McClatchy based on Stephen King's novel of the same name.
Ermonela Jaho caused a sensation at Covent Garden in London five years ago, when she took over Violetta at short notice from Anna Netrebko.
What do you get if you cross Benjamin Britten, 'one-page scores', an innovative performing ensemble and 'Wigmore Learning' — the Wigmore Hall's imaginative outreach programme which aims to provide access to chamber music and song through innovative creative programmes, online resources and events?
Marseille woke up this past January 11 stunned to find itself number two on the New York Times list of 46 places you should visit in 2013 (Rio was number one, Paris just made the list at number 46).
Cardiff: 8 June 2009 — Japanese soprano Eri Nakamura last night (SUN) won the opening concert round in BBC Cardiff Singer of the World.
Chairman of the panel of international judges John Fisher made the clearly popular announcement at the end of the concert in St David's Hall, Cardiff.
Mr Fisher, chief executive and artistic director of Welsh National Opera, presented the 30 year old soprano with a Welsh crystal trophy to make her achievement.
Eri shared this first concert with two other sopranos, 25-year-old soprano Dana Bramane, Latvia and 27-year-old soprano Emiliya Ivanova, Bulgaria along with 30-year-old baritone Etienne Dupuis, Canada and 23-year-old bass Fernando Javier Radó, Argentina.
Eri is a graduate of Osaka College of Music and is currently a member of the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. The 31-year-old soprano immediately won the hearts of the packed audience with sparkling singing of the bright 'Quel guard oil cavaliere' from Donizetti's Don Pasquale followed by emotionally charged arias from Massenet's Manon and Guonod's Roméo et Juliette.
These were the first of the 25 singers who are competing for the title BBC Cardiff Singer of the World and receive a £15,000 prize, which is provided by the City and County of Cardiff. The Competition is organised by BBC Wales, over this week.
Although winner of her concert Eri is not guaranteed a place in next Sunday's final as the judges wait until they have heard all 25 singers before selecting their top five. It is possible two singers may go through from one concert round and the winner of a concert round not be selected for the final five. Indeed this happened in 2007 when fellow Japanese soprano Mari Moriya won her concert round but did not reach the final.
The 25 singers who represent nations as far afield as Chile and Russia, Australia and Italy have been selected from more than 600 singers from around the world who took part in auditions in 44 locations in more than 30 countries for the biennial competition.
This year all singers taking part will also be eligible to benefit from a new bursary to help towards the development of their musical careers. A follower of BBC Cardiff Singer of the World, Annie Sankey, has left the competition a bequest and a new bursary in her name to support singers who take part in the competition has been established. Menna Richards, Director BBC Cymru Wales said, "The bursaries will help support the studies of competitors, including helping with travel and the purchase of musical scores".
Twenty of the singers are also taking part in the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Song Prize which has its own final at St David's Hall on Friday, June 12.
Both competitions are receiving extensive coverage by the BBC across the networks including BBC Cymru Wales, Radio 3, BBC Two and BBC Four and online.
BBC Cardiff Singer of the World, Sunday, June 7 to Thursday, June 11 and final on Sunday, June 14, St David's Hall, Cardiff. BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Song Prize, Saturday, June 6 to Tuesday, June 9 at the New Theatre, Cardiff and final on Friday, June 12 at St David's Hall. Master Classes taken by the judges, including Dame Gwynedd Jones and Richard Bonynge, New Theatre, Cardiff and the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama on Saturday, June 13.

Press Release
Alabama's Coastal Impact Assistance Program Approved
April 23, 2009
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Patti Powell
April 23, 2009 334-242-3484
Alabama's Coastal Impact Assistance Program Approved
Approval for Alabama's Coastal Impact Assistance Program Plan was announced Tuesday at 5 Rivers – Delta Resource Center in Spanish Fort, opening the way for the state to apply for $51.1 million in grants from the Department of Interior.
Walter Cruickshank, Acting Director of the Department of Interior's Minerals Management Service, signed the approval for the grant money, which is derived from oil and gas leases on the Outer Continental Shelf. Five other states – Alaska, California, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas – share in the funds, which are allocated according to oil and gas lease revenue generated off each state's coast.
Alabama's share of the funds - $25.5 million each for 2007 and 2008 – will be split among the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) and Mobile and Baldwin counties.
"As you know, the Gulf of Mexico accounts for about 25 percent of the oil produced in this country and about 15 percent of the natural gas produced in this country," Cruickshank said. "This production is vital to our nation's energy security and economic well-being, especially when the demand is expected to grow substantially in the coming years."
Cruickshank said Interior Secretary Ken Salazar believes it is vitally important to take proceeds from that production and invest in the "treasured landscapes to leave a legacy for our future generations. That is why programs like the Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CIAP) are so important."
Alabama's CIAP plan includes 75 projects that conserve, protect and restore coastal areas, including wetlands. The projects also provide conservation measures for wildlife, fish and other natural resources.
Patti Powell, Director of ADCNR's State Lands Division, said the projects range from habitat creation to recreational opportunities through additional water trails, such as the Bartram Canoe Trail in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. The approved plan also includes educational opportunities, including construction of the Weeks Bay Educational Facility on Fish River.
"The more educational opportunities we have, the more tangible benefits we will see down the road," Powell said. "Other opportunities that CIAP allows us to embark on include land acquisition like the thousands of acres along the Perdido River corridor. This is designed to be a longleaf pine restoration project. This will combine with an existing tract that will give us 20,000 acres along the Perdido River corridor. As you see, this program provides benefits for generations to come."
Visit www.alabamaciap.com for a complete list of the projects. The plan now moves into the grant phase, where State Lands will detail each project and submit it to Mineral Management Service for approval.
The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama's natural resources through five divisions: Marine Police, Marine Resources, State Parks, State Lands, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries.

CD grieves over death of Frank's wife Amy; worries that it will weaken Frank's determination to pursue his scientific work.
Summary Add
Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.
Sept 11th
My dear old Friend
I am sure you will pity us, when you hear that Amy, Frank's wife, was safely confined & was going on apparently quite well, when she was seized with convulsion which lasted for several hours, she then sunk into a stupor & I saw her expire at 7 oclock this morning. She was a most sweet gentle creature, with plenty of mind beneath, & they were most happy together. No pair could have been happier. Thank God she had no suffering & never knew that she was leaving Frank & all of us for ever. I cannot think what will become of Frank. She helped & encouraged him in his scientific work & whether he will ever have heart to go on again or what he will do I cannot conceive. My dear old Friend I know that you will forgive me pouring out my grief.
Yours affectionately | Ch. Darwin

The BeagleBoard is a sweet little single board computer from Texas Instruments, based on the OMAP 3530 processor. It features audio in and out, S-Video and DVI out, USB, RS-232, and an SD card (though surprisingly it lacks an Ethernet port or wifi onboard, so you must buy some extra parts if you want internet access).
It has solid community support and well documented instructions for building an image with OpenEmbedded. The best place to start is by downloading a prebuilt demo image. Begin by correctly formatting your SD card. Then download MLO, uImage, and u-boot.bin from this mirror and copy them into the first partition. There is an Angstrom demo image available for the 2nd partition of the SD card in the same mirror (remember to unzip that image as in the detailed instructions above).This gives you a functional BeagleBoard to play with.
I was able to build and run Bug Lab's normal phoneME based Java stack thanks to Marcin. With a little tweaking Concierge's console runs and many of the Bug's OSGi services are available (obviously none for hardware that is not present on the BeagleBoard). We have branches with this build in it. (svn://svn.buglabs.net/bug/branches/hrw/oe-stable-2009 is more cutting edge as of this writing does not build for me, but svn://svn.buglabs.net/bug/branches/bug-osgi-on-bb is build-able)
I then threw some packages with Cacao+OpenJDK onto the BeagleBoard for comparison to the BUG (which uses the Freescale i.MX31 cpu) using the Scimark2 benchmark. PhoneME is about the same on both platforms with a small edge towards the Beagle, and Cacao/OpenJDK is a bit faster on the BUG. For starting up Concierge phoneME is faster than Cacao/OpenJDK and the Beagle is a bit faster than the BUG.
There is a big disparity between phoneME and Cacao/OpenJDK - phoneME is 50 to 100 percent faster than Cacao/OpenJDK. I'd really like to have the full classpath of OpenJDK over phoneME, but right now the performance of phoneME is still too great to pass up.

SexCereal and Bacon Condoms: Because No Pitch Is Too Dumb
If you ever find yourself responsible for promoting a client whose hook is just too dumb to pitch, we'd like you to know that it can't true. Don't believe us? Consider the recent media coverage of SexCereal and Bacon Condoms, two products clearly designed to inspire headlines (and little else).
Neither of these products were April Fools' jokes, but they both managed to win mentions in mainstream media outlets like The New York Times, Slate, Fox News, Good Morning America, LIVE with Kelly and Michael and even WebMD. How? They had hooks so dumb that folks just had to click. And we all know that producers are just dying to fill airtime with news about stunt products like a condom that helps "make your meat look like meat" and provides "the utmost safety for when you're makin' Bacon" or the "world's first and only gender-based whole food cereal", which promises to promote "good nerve function, healthy hormone levels, and an unobstructed blood flow to the pelvic area."
PR wins all around. And yes, there's a stupid video after the jump: Read more

boating & lakes
Is the open water calling your name? Then the Lake of the Ozarks is just what you need. Float the Osage River or enjoy Truman Lake, the perfect location to boat, fish and swim.
learning & education
History lessons are abundant at the Missouri Capitol. Find museums with long-term exhibits and regularly changing short-term exhibits.
This Lake of the Ozarks property features several unique cabins from which to choose: five Tree House Cabins, rustic yet with many conveniences; one Boathouse Cabin next to the private eight-acre lake; the Cedar View Cabin, overlooking the pool; the Shady Oak Cabin (sleeps 12), facing the woods; and the Oar House (sleeps 12), a more private location with full facilities, fireplace and a large deck looking into the woods.
We have an RV campground co-located.
Located on a tranquil, quiet, deep cove on the five mile marker of the Gravois Arm of Lake of the Ozarks. Family-owned with excellent water for fishing, boating or just swimming. Your cabin is just steps away from the water, with covered docks and lifts to accommodate up to 20-foot boats.
The ramp for smaller boats is just steps away and Coffman Beach Public Launch Access in Rocky Mount is 20 minutes away on Lake Road Y-20 (8 miles SW of Eldon). Guests comment on the beautiful Christmas lights around all the docks in the cove at night. Many people call it Christmas Tree Cove. The real name is Possum Hollow, although you're just as likely to see a deer or turkey on your way to the Lake.
In the winter, it's so quiet and peaceful here that you can hear your own heartbeat. Relax for a week or get away for a few days.
Country memories are made here. This off-the-beaten-path retreat provides seclusion in the wooded hills with private access to the Gasconade River.

The World of Warcraft Armory
Gunnyal (orc/prot) - Zangarmarsh - Guild Off Tank (and occasional MT) 4/5 MH, 5/9 BT
I logged out in my EH set. I'm above the hit cap and above the soft expertise cap in that set.
I also have a pretty decent avoidance set, 16k health and 36% dodge unbuffed, however that set is around 92 hit, but good on expertise.
So, to my question. I've been utilizing the Cleaver off Zul'jin, gemmed for hit, enchanted with Executioner as my everyday/EH/avoidance weapon. The Brutalizer finally dropped last night and I do not know what enchant to put on it or which set to use it with. Looking at the EH/Avoidance sticky in the gear forum, seems to point that the Cleaver is a bit better as an avoidance weapon. Obviously the Brutalizer hits a little harder. Do I put Mongoose on the Cleaver and use it with my avoidance set (seeing as how I need the hit)? Do I put Executioner of the Brutalizer and use it as my everyday/EH weapon? Or should I put Mongoose on the Brut and use it for everything?
Thank you,
Oh... if you hapeen to see any holes/oddities in my toon, I'll gladly take comments/criticisms/etc.

Mixing Tom Arnold and Girl Scouts can't be a good thing, but CBS's Hawaii Five-0 is still giving it a whirl.
Executive producer Peter Lenkov tells me exclusively that Roseanne's ex will appear as the villain in this season's ninth episode. "Danny and McGarrett go on a Girl Scout outing and come face to face with Tom," teases Lenkov.
The big question of course is why the detectives are even on this Girl Scout trip. Per Lenkov, "Danny's daughter is a Girl Scout and he invites McGarrett to come along to teach the girls survival skills out in the wild."
But can any amount of skill training really ever prepare one for a wild Tom Arnold encounter?
