Friday 19 Dec 2014
By Martin Bailey. Museums, Issue 216, September 2010Published online: 23 September 2010
THE HAGUE. The Mauritshuis in The Hague is lending the Girl with a Pearl Earring to a museum in Japan where another Vermeer masterpiece on loan appears to have suffered. After The Art of Painting returned to Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum from Kobe City Museum in 2004, conservators discovered that part of the paint surface had become vulnerable to slight flaking. Environmental conditions in the Kobe gallery during the display were described as "quite problematic".
See also:
The Mauritshuis has now agreed to send the Girl with a Pearl Earring to the Kobe museum in 2012. It is among 50 pictures from the collection that are being toured to raise money for the expansion of the Mauritshuis. Partly because of Tracy Chevalier's bestselling novel about the painting, the Girl with a Pearl Earring is regarded as the star loan, although there will also be a Rembrandt self-portrait and other major Dutch Golden Age works. The agreement on the Japanese tour was signed in Tokyo in October 2009 with the sponsor, Asahi Shimbun, in the presence of Dutch culture minister Ronald Plasterk.Unknown to the Mauritshuis in 2009 was the fact that the Kunsthistorisches Museum's The Art of Painting, regarded as Vermeer's greatest work, had been found to have suffered on its return from a 2004 trip to Japan. It had been part of an exhibition of Dutch and Flemish painting there. This information only emerged in a catalogue of an exhibition on The Art of Painting organised by the Kunsthistorisches Museum earlier this year (see related article).Museums are normally reluctant to publicly air problems resulting from loans to other institutions, and the Viennese conservators worded their comments carefully. In a technical chapter in the catalogue, the head of conservation Elke Oberthaler and three colleagues explained: "Between 1999 and 2005, The Art of Painting was transported to various exhibitions at eight venues. Examination following the Japan exhibition of 2004 showed no new losses, but gave the impression that the cupping in the blue-green drapery had become more pronounced." Cupping is the slight curving of small paint areas where there is craquelure, and this can eventually result in flaking.Conservation reportThe conservators went on to explain: "As the recordings from the accompanying data-logger indicated, the climate conditions during the shipments had been generally stable due to the sufficient thermal insulation of the crate, however [conditions] turned out to have been quite problematic during the exhibition at the second venue, mainly due to daily temperature fluctuations, reaching up to eight degrees celsius." The unnamed venue was the Kobe City Museum.Daily fluctuations in relative humidity levels of up to 20% were reduced in the microclimate display box housing The Art of Painting in the gallery, keeping levels around the painting to 54% to 58%. However, "temperature fluctuations could naturally not be minimised".The conservators added that in addition to the temperature changes at the Japanese venue, the cupping "could also be seen in context with the cumulative stress exerted on the work of art during previous trips". They concluded: "Considering the diminutive scale of the paint flaking, it was difficult to substantiate any condition changes due to the lack of photographic documentation with sufficient resolution."Yasumasa Oka, the chief curator of the Kobe City Museum, said: "I do not acknowledge the fact of the rapid temperature rise in the exhibition room", or that it amounted to eight degrees. "A temperature fluctuation in our museum was not causally related to a possible danger to The Art of Painting," he said.Karl Schütz, the director of paintings at the Kunsthistorisches Museum, has written to the Kobe City Museum saying: "An inspection of the painting following the exhibition did not reveal any damage." It is true that no paint losses were detected, but his conservators did feel that cupping was more pronounced after the Kobe loan.Staying putThe Art of Painting is unlikely to travel again because of conservation concerns. A request by the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum to borrow it for four months in 2008 for a fee of €500,000 had initially been agreed, but this was overruled by the Austrian minister of culture on advice from conservators.Although environmental conditions at the Kobe City Museum may well have been improved in the past few years and the Girl with a Pearl Earring is a less fragile painting, the 2004 experience does raise questions.Last year Mauritshuis staff visited the Kobe museum, which signed a contract on environmental standards for the loan. Emilie Gordenker, the director of the Mauritshuis, is "entirely satisfied" with the agreement. Although the loan fee is undisclosed, it will go towards the cost of the Dutch museum's €22m extension, which is due to be completed in 2014. The 50 Mauritshuis paintings will initially go to the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum (July to September 2012) and then Kobe (October to December 2012), with a slightly smaller group of works later touring several US venues. This will be while the Mauritshuis is temporarily closed. Gordenker describes the paintings as "ambassadors" for the museum.

In December, the threat of sequestration on nutrition programs was a major concern for the Academy. As a result, a grassroots campaign to urge Congress to protect nutrition programs was initiated. Nearly 8,000 letters from members were sent to Congress during the campaign.
Congratulations to the top five states who took action by sending members of Congress the Academy's sequestration action alert: North Dakota (14 percent), Maine (9.5 percent), Illinois (8.6 percent), Maryland (8.3 percent) and Idaho (8.2 percent). Thank you to all states who sent letters and increased our voice on Capitol Hill.

Northam Ranch
Robert Northam, also known as "Diamond Bob" because of his high-end tastes, bought 1,400 acres of land in Huntington Beach known as Rancho Los Bolsas in 1886.
The Northam Victorian-style mansion was Huntington Beach's first home.
Northam lived there until about 1904 and sold the property the next year to the West Coast Land and Water Company.
The Northam mansion stood until March 22, 2000, when it was destroyed by a fire.
The site is now the Sunrise Senior Living community on Yorktown Avenue.
City Hall
The original City Hall was built in 1908 at Main and Fifth streets.
The building was demolished in 1974 and is now home to the Town Square condominiums.
The Holly Sugar Factory
Long before oil was discovered in Huntington Beach, growing and harvesting sugar beets was the city's main industry.
The Holly Sugar Factory moved from Anaheim to Huntington Beach in 1909 and settled on 60 acres near the northwest corner of Main Street and Garfield Avenue.
The factory was built in December 1910 for $1 million.
After oil was discovered in 1921, the company closed the sugar factory in 1923 and converted the space into a gasoline and oil refinery.
The main factory building was demolished in 1926.
Post Office
The downtown post office is a glimpse of Huntington Beach's early history on modern day Main Street.
The building was constructed in 1935 at 316 Olive St.
It was threatened with closure in 2012 when the U.S. Postal Service reviewed whether it was feasible to lose the site. Ultimately, it stayed open.
The bell tower at Huntington Beach High School
Huntington Beach High School was established in 1906. Classes were first held in the basement of the auditorium. The school had seven teachers, three clubs and a graduating class of about 14 students in 1910.
After the discovery of oil in 1921, an economic and population boom in Huntington Beach brought more students to the school.
The historic bell tower and auditorium were built in 1926 and seven other permanent buildings were constructed between then and 1952.
Many of the school's original buildings were demolished after an earthquake damaged the structures in the 1970s.
The bell tower and auditorium were the only structures to remain.
Evangeline Hotel
The 18-room Evangeline Hotel was built in 1904 at 8th and Pecan streets.
Plans to open a youth hostel and later a treatment center for those suffering from addiction and psychiatric disorders fell through after neighbors protested.
The hotel has since been bought by a Canadian family for use as a private residence. Although the interior has been remodeled, the family restored the façade to maintain its historical significance.
The Shank House
The two-story Craftsman-style Shank house was built in 1913 for one of Huntington Beach's first physicians, Dr. George Shank.
The house was originally located on 20th Street and was moved to its current location at 5th and Walnut streets in 1926.
The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency bought the property and converted it to a substation for the police department in 2004.
The City Gym and Pool
Originally known as the Huntington Beach Elementary School Gymnasium and Plunge, this historic structure was built in 1931 at 1600 Palm Ave.
The adjacent grade school was decimated after the Long Beach earthquake in 1933 but the pool and gym were still standing.
Huntington Beach took over the facility in the 1960s and kicked off a $2 million renovation for the facility in 1994. The pool was fully restored in 2000.
The facility is one of five structures in Huntington Beach on the National Register of Historic Places.
St. Mary's by the Sea
St. Mary's was first established in Huntington Beach in 1905 as a mission of St. Joseph's Parish in Santa Ana, but services were held in Sunby's department store on Main Street.
Catholic leaders bought a Protestant Church at 10th and Orange streets to establish St. Mary's by the Sea.
The parish changed its name to Sts. Simon & Jude and a new church and rectory was constructed in 1923 for $21,000.
After the Catholic Diocese of Orange was founded in 1976, the church was named St. Mary's by the Sea Church.
The parish still holds daily and weekend masses.

The Main Street Library is the fifth structure in the city to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Several plaques honoring the history of the library will be dedicated in a public ceremony at 10 a.m. Saturday at the library, 525 Main St.
The library will join the Newland House, the Helme-Worthy store and residence, the City Gym and Pool and the city pier on the National Register of Historic Places.
Some members of the Huntington Beach Historic Resources Board have deep family ties in the city, including two great-grandsons of the city's first mayor, Ed Manning.
Dave Wentworth, 65, and his brother Duane, 63, still live in Huntington Beach and continue working to preserve the remaining historical sites in the city.
Q: How are you getting the word out about historical preservation?
Many remnants of Huntington Beach history have disappeared in the past decades and some of what remains is threatened with destruction.
Members of the Huntington Beach Historical Resources Board say they are trying to keep the city's historical buildings and other cultural resources from being razed to make room for more homes or shopping centers, but their task isn't always easy.
A recent vote by the City Council to allow for the possible destruction of several historic buildings, including the oldest Japanese church in the county, called attention to the city's dwindling inventory of historical sites.
The Wintersburg site at Warner Avenue and Nichols Lane is home to the 1934 church on the corner with the "Jesus Lives" mural, a bungalow, family home, a barn, a mission built in 1909 and a manse, where the clergy lived. The open space there was once filled with goldfish ponds and, later, with water lilies and sweet peas.
The structures were given an 18-month reprieve from demolition by council members on Nov. 4 while preservationists work to raise funds to have these structures restored elsewhere.
If those buildings are lost, that would represent about a 20 percent loss of the city's current historical structures, according to the Historic Wintersburg Preservation Task Force.
The buildings represent early Japanese American history in Orange County and the struggle for civil liberties Japanese Americans faced.
"These people really brought culture to our city," said Gloria Alvarez, chairwoman of the city's historical resource board. "We don't want to lose our identity."
According to a 1986 survey by the city, 79 historical structures and culturally important places, such as the Bolsa Chica Wetlands, remain. Since then, more than a dozen of those sites have been torn down.
That survey is being updated with the help of the historical resources board.
"In 20 years, these have been destroyed in the name of development," Alvarez said. "There are a lot of people that it's their position it's just about dollars and cents, but historical preservation can bring interest to Huntington Beach. We support historical rehabilitation."
Rehabilitation could include blending the old with the new and making historical buildings functional and an asset to the community.
The Shank House in Huntington Beach maintains its historical features but has a modern-day purpose, serving as the Police Department's downtown substation. Some old downtown residences have been restored to keep their cultural significance.
But balancing property owners' rights with the desire to preserve culture has been a major challenge in Huntington Beach in part because there is little incentive for property owners.
The Wintersburg property was such a challenge for city officials.

Tourism effort highlights southern New England
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — People travel from all over the world to walk the Freedom Trail in Boston, see the autumn leaves turn in Vermont and New Hampshire and eat lobster in Maine. A new campaign involving tourism officials in three states to the south and west of Boston is aimed at peeling off some of those visitors and attracting new ones to a region they have dubbed "SoNew."
A series of tours today is the first event in their effort to tie together several attractions in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut in an attempt to turn Southern New England into a national and international destination.

text: Unfortunately, there is no way to make that change. More and more of today's satellite programming is moving toward needing to see more than one satellite to receive all the programming. This complicates things for people using a crank-up satellite dish. The crank up dish is only able to see one satellite at a time. While this makes things a bit harder for crank up users than it is for people using an automatic system, the good news is that once you find one satellite it becomes easy to move to the second.

Okay, I thought when they were going to do this new ranking system that your highest REACHED Elo would be taken into account or did I read it wrong? /****** status. Stopped playing ranked thinking this, got put into silver .__.;....
Same thing for me they said it would be current rating + top rating together.
****, now I have to play with Silvers.... .___.;;;

I thought there was a red post saying it was top elo this season averaged with your current elo. I might be wrong though
It put me in Diamond and I've played like 10 ranked games.
"a combination" <> "an averaging of"
Quadrakill Amumu
The rank placement combination of top Elo and current Elo is why people are gaining less LP when they win than losing when they lose. You are all placed in ranks too high for your current hidden Elo.

Elasticity's Rally for St. Louis Funds First Projects
We're all rooting for America's cities these days. They're coming back. Maybe it's the sports, the aversion to lengthy car commutes or the nightlife, or a stubborn pride dating back to the classic 1970s the classic Daily News headline "Ford to City: Drop Dead."
After bouncing around several other American cities, Aaron Perlut settled in St. Louis with his family, and along with partners Brian Cross and Andy Barnett, headquartered their agency Elasticity there.
Perlut in particular believes wholeheartedly that the city doesn't suck. The need to plant deep roots in the community to grow the firm and the fondness for his region spurred a Forbes.com column to fight against the notion of suckitude. With 158,000 views and counting, "St. Louis Doesn't Suck" became jumping off point for a not-for-profit crowdsourced and crowdfunded platform Rally Saint Louis to address the city's reputation issues. The column begins as a rant and ends as an outline for an integrated marketing plan, complete with SEO kicker.

Polyflor puts Roald Dahl in hospital
Brightly coloured Roald Dahl characters, snakes and ladders boards, alphabets and department signage - inset into timber effect sheet vinyl flooring in corridors and wards - help provide a cheerful ambience for staff and young patients in the new-build Neurosciences Unit, Alder Hey Hospital, Royal Liverpool Children's NHS Trust.
Created via the Polyflor Expressions Design Service, which uses computerised water jet cutting techniques to produce precise shapes and styles, the decorative designs employ a variety of shades from the Polyflor XL PU range of heavy duty vinyls which are inset into cherry timber effect sheet vinyl from Polyflor's innovative Forest FX range.
"The inlaid decoration is really effective and the choice of flooring has proved ideal for achieving the effects we were looking for" said Mr John Williams, RLC NHS Trust, Capital Projects Manager.
The flooring was installed by flooring contractors PKL Healthcare, of Cheltenham.
Sophisticated and highly realistic wood designs in an impressive choice of shades and textures are key features of Forest FX. With a 0.7mm wearlayer, Forest FX has excellent durability and is ideally suited to high traffic commercial applications. The range also features a low maintenance polyurethane reinforcement (PUR) which protects the floor and facilitates a polish-free maintenance regime.
Polyflor XL PU, in 24 colours, features a specially formulated polyurethane surface treatment, reducing maintenance costs by up to 24% by improving the soil resistance and cleanability of the floor.
Both products have been independently tested and results demonstrate that they inhibit the growth of MRSA. An effective cleaning regime is, however, the most important defence against infection.
In common with all Polyflor sheet vinyls, both products can be welded at the seams and to coved skirtings to create continuous, impervious surfaces offering no sanctuary to dirt and bacteria.

This is something that distracts me from my long-term goals.
Here it is: I like to find (a) simple solutions (b) to overlooked problems (c) that actually need to be solved, and (d) deliver them as informally as possible, (e) starting with a very crude version 1, then (f) iterating rapidly.
I suppose that works for a lot of situations however there can always be complications
- Google and compensated links
- Patents – not so much to defend the idea, but for barter
- Major competition from the likes of Amazon & Ebay
- Competition from other people in affiliate marketing
- I am not a programmer
I have kept things pretty much on ice for the last year, though future plans have also prevented other opportunities. It is hard to turn down ideal roles working with someone who would make a perfect partner.
Not being able to tie up knots in the business plans means that there is much higher risk in executing, which subsequently means for the same potential startup investment I might have to hand over more equity and control.
If solutions to the problems were just a formality, it is much easier (ethically) to accept investment from someone who doesn't fully understand the risks involved.
In addition it is much easier to present a well executed beta version to promotion partners and obtain backing – why start small when you already have the leverage for a large launch?
So whilst keeping things simple is ideal for Paul Graham who might typically be looking at 2 college kids with programming smarts looking to create the next cool social site or widget, for me the issues just prevent progress.

Thursday, October 3, 2013
– approximately 7:30pm
Mr. David Cate, Mr. Bob Sherman, Mr. Greg Smith, Mr. Dave Cronin, Mr. Leo Rus= h, Mr. Everett Gibbons, Selectman Representative Doug Viger, School Board Representative Megan Larson. Also present Finance Director Cindy Kelley
Mr. Dan Guimond (excused), Ms. Daryle Hillsgrove (excused), Mr. Ken Dunne (excused).
Vice Chair David Cate conducted the meeting in M= r. Guimond's absence.
<= o:p>

<= o:p>
In review of meeting minutes from February 7, 20= 13 (FY2013), Mr. Cronin asked if the School would submit both their operating = and default budget to the Board next week. Ms. Larson replied that the School Board had not yet approved their budget as they were behind schedule. The School's Business Agent Steve Martin is in the process of preparing the MS-= 24 so the tax rate can be set. She sa= id the expectations were understood and wanted the Board to know the School had be= en working very hard to prepare necessary information. Mr. Cronin understood that Mr. Martin w= as new, but noted that the Budget Committee didn't receive the default until late i= n the budget review process for FY2013. =
Mr. Sherman learned that the State would be late= in calculating student populations, which would delay tax rates being set for = both the towns and the schools. Ms. Kel= ley said the delay was until November 11th.
Mr. Viger commented that the Town was ready to s=
et the
tax rate; the repercussion was on the State side with the school. It was hoped everything could be done p=
to the end of the year. Ms. Larson=
she received an e-mail from Selectmen Chair Ed Gleason inquiring about the
status. She in turn corresponded w=
Mr. Martin and learned he had corresponded with the DRA regarding the
situation. It was in the process of
being handled and expected to be completed next week. Mr. Viger told the Board the delay was
nothing that the School had done; the State changed the way the fiscal cale=
was set up and calculated. =
= o:p>
Mr. Sherman had a copy of the budget law in fron= t of him. He read that the default budg= et was not required until the first public hearing for towns or school.
There was a brief discussion regarding the resul= ts of the resent School Board meeting concerning the Local Government Center ('LG= C') refund. Mr. Cronin (Budget Committ= ee liaison with the School) stated the figure came in from the LGC at $374,027.04. The School Board recommended that the funds be accepted as unanticipated revenue. The School Board then decided $250,000 = of the refund will be sent to the general fund and the remaining $127,000 will be = held in abeyance to pay employees who are owed refunds from the LGC. Ms. Larson added that the $250,000 woul= d be on the December, 2013 tax bill. At= the remaining $127,000, the calculation has not yet been done to determine what exactly is due to the employees. If funds remain after the employees are reimbursed, a vote of the School Board will be required to determine how it is to be spent.
Mr. Cronin understood there was also $32,000 tha= t existed from a refund in 2011, which was still being held. Ms. Larson said the School Board would = figure the amount for the two years and give the appropriate refund to employees.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'>
Mr. Cate indicated that the Board would be revie= wing the Town budgets in preparation to vote. The Board is requested to submit any changes/adjustments (+/-) to Chairman Guimond by Tuesday, October= 8, 2013 by 5pm.
Mr. Viger saw that Mr. Dunne sent correspondence
regarding the Pelham Good Neighbor Fund and having them request a
donation. He noted that the Select=
had already voted on their budget, so any changes the Budget Committee would
like to make could be done at the time of the vote or at reconsideration.

Transfer Station - $569,258 requested – a decrease= of $2,365 from 2013.
Transfer Station Director Stan Walczak came forw=
ard to
present the budget. He began by
providing and overview of the changes to the facility during the past
year. 1) compactor unit service and
repair; 2) building repairs; and 3) installing conveyor system. These changes had no impact to taxpayer=
s or
the budget; funding was utilized by using monies from the building trust
fund. With the conveyor system bac=
k in
place there will be cost savings in the budget for fuel (for the bobcat).
Mr. Walczak informed the Board of a severe probl= em occurring with the Town's fuel pumps located at the facility. He said the pumps were approximately 12= -15 years old and constantly breaking down forcing the police or other Town vehicles to use a public service station. He noted by having Town pumps there was a cost savings for fuel of $= .32 per gallon and a savings for diesel of $.82 per gallon. The facility can be accessed at any ti= me by the Town; there is no gasoline station in Town open 24/7. Mr. Cate said the Board saw the problem during their walk through of the facility. He asked if pump cost would be in a warrant article or in next year's budget. Mr. Viger said the Selectm= en's intention was to come forward with a warrant article. He noted in addition to the savings the= y got at the rack price, they were also able to put in for the fuel tax reimburse= ment.
The Board then reviewed the proposed budget. The salary increases were all contractual. Mr. Cronin questioned= why the part-time position figure was less than last year. Mr. Walczak said the position was utili= zed less. It was noted that the cell p= hone stipend of $30 for Operator #1 was contractual. <= /span>
The Gas, Oil, etc. line had two increases. First was diesel fuel which was adjuste= d to reflect the actual gallons used; in the past the line wasn't budgeted properly. It was expected to be re= duced once the conveyor was in operation. The second was hydraulic fuel for the compactor. Under equipment repairs, there were miscellaneous necessities, such = as skid steer tires, patch trailer roof and to cover anything else that may oc= cur. The line for new equipment and miscella= neous tools were items such as a weed whacker or blower.
The Expenses lines showed a decrease of $11,494,= of which $5,500 was in last year's default and showed back up, so it was being removed again. The remaining decre= ase was due to 'true up' budgeting and lower rates with new contract for hauling.
Mr. Walczak reviewed the revenues received and anticipated.
Mr. Rush questioned if the facility accepted tires. Mr. Walczak said they would= take up to four tires per household per week. They paid roughly $1,100 per trailer load; there were three trailer loads consisting of approximately 800-900 tires per load. Mr. Rush wanted to know where the Direc= tor's seminars were held. Mr. Walczak sa= id the line had been reduced. He would be= attending a few in the coming year, all located within New Hampshire.
Mr. Walczak told the Board in 2015 they would be seeking money to install a second compactor for the single stream material. They believed an approxi= mate savings of $30,000 could be achieved by compacting single stream and cutting down hauling for such. A plan was presented to the capital improvement committee.
Cemetery - $143,480 requested – an increase o= f $237 from 2013
Cemetery Trustee Chairman Dave Provencal came fo= rward to present the budget. He provided= an overview of what had been accomplished during the past year. Ms. Kelley spoke to the salary line and explained that the decrease was a 'true up' number reflecting actuals.
Supplies were increased to cover the cost of the
processed gravel used to top the graves and sure up corners of the roads.
Mr. Sherman questioned how perpetual care was handled. Mr. Provencal said they n= ow had a maintenance account to care for the graves at the cemeteries. There were certain perpetual care accou= nts remaining, which could only be used for specific graves.
Mr. Smith questioned why there was such a differ= ence in phone and internet prices across the different departments. Ms. Kelley said there were different ac= counts and different set ups. Mr. Viger s= aid the municipal account got a good rate because they could tie everything together. He didn't believe there = was fiber connection to the Cemetery, just as there is no connection to the Transfer Station.
It was noted that the cemetery had their own wel=
l for water and were not connected to
Pennichuck Water. The decrease for
flowers in expenses was because the line was moved to the supplies line.
Selectmen - $489,184 requested – an increase of $3,554 from 2013.
Ms. Kelley presented the budget. Under salaries the Town Administrator, = Finance Director and Bookkeeper were contractual. The Executive Secretary and Recording Secretary were non-union. Mr. Sherman asked how long the Town Administrator's salary had remained the same. Mr. Viger said they had a default budget and with contract negotiati= on there wasn't an opportunity for an increase; the salary was frozen for a year. They were still in contract negotiation and the figure would stay frozen in 2014; a review and contract extension will be performed over the next couple years. Ms. Kelley said the line 'non-union wage increase' was for discretionary increases for all employees listed in the Selectmen budget (union and non-union) as well as the Welfare Director. Mr. Cate questioned how much of that li= ne would be used. Ms. Kelley didn't h= ave an answer.
Under supplies, there was an increase in 8.5x11 = paper based on actual usage. The telepho= ne line adjustment was based on a 'true up'. They tried to adjust the number last year, but the figure defaulted = back in, so it is once again being adjusted. <= /span>
Equipment repairs had an increase due to the cop= ier maintenance contract of a 10% annual increase. The contracted amount includes service and supplies. The three-year contract is due to end November, 2014. The Town owns the machine. Mr. Smith felt a 10% incr= ease seemed high and hoped that face would be considered during the next contract negotiation.
Expenses showed a decrease due to a contract negotiation of a better rate for the MuniSmart system used by the various departments. There was a 10% incre= ase in NH Municipal Association (formerly Local Government Center) dues.
There was a brief discussion regarding the compe= nsated absence line, which covered expenses if an employee were to leave. The individual budgets don't carry a nu= mber; the amount comes from the compensated absence line. Mr. Cate asked Ms. Kelley to provide the Board with a breakdown of what had been paid out over the last few years. <= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> Mr. Cate questioned if the line was a 'buyback' program. Mr. Viger said = they referred to the line as an unfunded liability. It was noted if the funds weren't spent it was returned to the general fund.
Insurance - $2,108,261 requested – placeholder= for reconsideration.
Ms. Kelley presented the budget. She said the line was a placeholder for= when new rates were released in late October/early November; the adjusted figure will be provided for reconsideration. She mentioned that the NHMA would be changing all towns in New Hampshire to a fiscal year of July 1st= to June 30th. <= /span>
Mr. Rush questioned who received life insurance.= Ms. Kelley said life insurance was a contractual item. The Fire Departm= ent and call fire fighters were under their union contract.
Mr. Cronin wanted to know how many employees had= 100% of their health insurance paid. Ms. Kelley said there were approximately twenty nine employees that had 100% of their health care paid.
Mr. Cronin asked what criteria (time/money) ther= e was for a warrant article. Mr. Viger = said there was no guideline as to what had to be a warrant article. The Budget Committee has guidelines the= y take into account and could overrule by vote of the Board. Typically a vehicle had to be two time= s the cost of a police cruiser. Also, typically any new position or new expenditure went into a warrant article.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> Mr. Viger said the Selectmen felt a new capital improvement or position was put into a warrant article. He said a replacement would be put into= the budget or a warrant article after balancing out what may occur if that budg= et were turned down and they had to operate using a default budget.
Mr. Cronin heard at the School meeting that the = School Board gave approval to enter into a five-year lease contract for the buildi= ng for the SAU. Ms. Larson discussed = it was a five-year lease to own with an annual opt out. Mr. Cate said that subject could be dis= cussed when the School presented their budget. <= /span>
Mr. Sherman noted a warrant article simply requi= red a minimum of twenty-five signatures; only finance items were reviewed by the Budget Committee.
<= o:p>

Wells Fargo: Fed Lawsuit Loser
With mortgage putback exposure "mostly ring fenced," Harralson said that "investors should now look to the efficiency ratio and profitability statistics as the next large earnings lever. Management has been consistent in saying it can get to a 60% or below efficiency. If STI could show expense progress in this difficult quarter, investors could be heartened that a 60% efficiency ratio is possible."
A bank's efficiency ratio is, essentially, the number of pennies of overhear expenses it incurs, for each dollar of revenue.

Lands' End is an American clothing retailer based in Dodgeville, Wisconsin, that specializes in casual clothing, luggage, and home furnishings. The majority of Lands' End's business is conducted through mail order and Internet sales, but the company also runs more than a dozen retail operations, primarily in the Upper Midwest, along with international shops in the UK, Germany, Japan, France and Austria.
Lands' End began as a sailboat equipment company in 1963 in Chicago, Illinois. It was founded by Gary Comer,[2][3] along with his partners, 1963 Pan American Games gold medalist sailors Richard Stearns and Robert Halperin, and two of Stearns' employees.[4][5] As the business became successful, it expanded into general clothing and home furnishings, and moved to Dodgeville, Wisconsin in 1978.[3] The company is named from its sailboat heritage, after Land's End, but the misplaced apostrophe in the company name was a typographical error that Comer could not afford to change, as promotional materials had already been printed.[2]
In 2002, Sears bought the company for USD $2 billion in cash.[6] In addition to operating mail order and online business and Lands' End Inlet stores, Sears offered a Lands' End clothing line in a large number of its retail stores.[7] In 2012, the company formed an "online partnership" with the UK's Debenhams and House of Fraser department stores.[8]
In November 2009, Lands' End launched a new line called Lands' End Canvas, which offers a more fashion-oriented selection of casual clothing for men and women.
On December 6, 2013, Sears Holding Corp. announced that it would spin off Lands' End catalog business as a separate company by distributing stock to the retailer's stockholders.[9] Lands' End stock began trading on the NASDAQ on April 7, 2014.[10]

Programs in Program Guide no longer open (they used to)
Hadn't opened Media Center for awhile, though the last time I did, everything worked fine. Internet TV Program Guide now lists some new Classic shows and I thought it would be cool to watch some old I Love Lucy... but nothing. And no other show opened either. Not one. Click on it and it makes that sound... but then nothing happens. Its not crucial, I can live without old reruns of I Love Lucy, but it bugs me that the program is not working as it should.
I already re- ran set-up again 3 times. I read in some other thread about TunerFree MCE and I downloaded that, and it works fine. (Now I have access to hundreds of shows from all over the world I'll probably never watch!) But it obviously does not fix my problem. Most of the shows that are supposed to be available in the Program Guide I'm not even interested, but all of them used to open easily, no problem. So I'd like to be able to watch the ones I want.
I have not tried to re-install Windows 7. Wasn't the hassle if I screwed something up.
But I did update Silverlight, and that didn't do anything either.
Also, I no longer even have an icon for Internet TV, and I swear I did! Now there's just Recorded TV and Program Guide. I download anything I want to watch, either hours or days after it airs, so I don't have cable or any TV service, nor a TV tuner in my laptop. But downloading is time consuming, and takes up room on my hard drive, if I don't watch things right away, so I would love to be able to access Internet TV.
There also used to be an whole section of documentaries that aren't there any more. I did already watch most of them, and I loved them. But that entire section is gone now. I think it might have been in Extras Gallery, but I'm not sure. All new weird stuff that also won't open is in there now.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

I can't really answer your question, because I've had so much trouble with Media Center, that I no longer use it...maybe someone else can help. In the mean time, I'll make some suggestions that might serve the purpose that you are looking for. As an alternative to Media Center, try a free program called XBMC. I'm still new to it, so don't understand everything that it can do, but it is excellent for listening/viewing to stored audio/video files. It does have a number of add-on programs, which may give access to online videos, but I'm not familiar enough to say.
You do not need any viewer to watch internet movies, other than a web browser for sites such as Hulu.com, and many, many more. A good place to either watch or download movies of older vintage is archive.org (Internet Archive) or moviepowder.com.
Considering the way that you described your viewing habits, I think that you will find one or more of these of interest.

Thanks, I'll check them out. All I ever watched in Media Center before old Perry Mason reruns. In the TunerFree MCE, which loads itself right into Media Center I got a whole series of Dick Tracy crime dramas from 1930's-40's based on the comic strip, and I'm keeping busy with those. It just bugs me there's a built in program that is an advertised feature for the operating system, that doesn't work. So I still wouldn't mind if someone can figure out how to make it right.

Internet M&A is Different Than You Might Think
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Merger activity amongst technology companies is nothing new. Start-ups are often venture-backed, and very few of them become large enough or profitable enough to pull off an IPO and need to raise enough money to repay their investors.
Luckily, for tech entrepreneurs, there are a handful of large acquisitive companies out there. Cisco (CSCO) has acquired over 100 companies, and Google (GOOG) has done its fair share of acquisitions as well. Sometimes it's cheaper to purchase a successful business than recreating it oneself.
Although they often compete for the same companies, the acquisition strategies of the Internet giants vary. Some companies like to do a lot of acqui-hires (buying companies with the intention of shutting them down, just to get the talent). Others, focus on larger scale billion dollar deals. Sometimes the companies are integrated. Sometimes they remain as standalone companies. Some acquisitions ultimately fail.
Companies like Google, Yahoo!, and others all approach deal-making in different ways.

Be Careful of Who You Name As Your IRA BeneficiaryJuly 18th, 2014
Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that inherited individual retirement accounts (IRA) are subject to creditor claims in bankruptcy. In layman's terms … if you pass away and have an IRA and your IRA beneficiary has to declare bankruptcy, your IRA money could wind up in the hands of the creditors your beneficiary owes money to.
Because of this court ruling, if you have an IRA, you should consult with your advisors (attorney and financial advisor) who are experienced in asset protection, estate planning and income tax considerations for IRAs. This is especially important if you have a material balance in an IRA and an intended beneficiary has known or potential creditor issues.
Digging Into The Details
An inherited IRA is where an individual is named as a beneficiary on an IRA application document and the individual becomes the holder of an account after the original owner of the account passes away.
In Clark v. Rameker, the Supreme Court reviewed three important distinctions between an inherited IRA when compared to other traditional retirement assets. For an inherited IRA, the holders are:
- Not allowed to make additional contributions to the account
- Required to withdraw funds regardless of whether they have reached retirement age
- May withdraw assets at any time without an income tax penalty
Given these distinctions, the Supreme Court ruled that "funds held in such account are not objectively set aside for the purpose of retirement." Experts on the subject have concerns about whether spousal rollovers continue to be exempt from creditors as well.
Some Planning Opportunities Remain
Going forward, inherited IRAs have fewer creditor protection characteristics. However, there are still planning opportunities available under some state creditor exemptions or by naming a qualified trust as the beneficiary.
If a trust is used as a beneficiary of an IRA, the trust must be drafted properly. The trust can help shield trust assets from creditors. Adding a trust as the beneficiary can make the process more complex and add additional costs to create and administer the trust. Also additional income tax burdens may exist, depending on the trust's terms.
Overall, this ruling is particularly important if you own a significant IRA account or if you inherit an IRA. Have a conversation with your advisors to review all the rules before making beneficiary designations or transferring balances after someone's death.
Ohio Tax Assistance
If you have questions and/or concerns about your retirement options, contact Rea & Associates. Our team of Ohio tax professionals can help you determine if the inquiry is legitimate, and assist you with responding.

How Do Your Avoid IRS Penalties on Your IRA?September 21st, 2012
With our government requiring more cash each year, there is growing sentiment is the financial community that the IRS is becoming more vigilant in obtaining all revenue available related to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). According to a recent article, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration estimates that the IRS failed to collect as much as $286 million of revenue in 2006 and 2007 alone. From a political aspect, it is easier to raise revenue by simply enforcing the existing rules, than it is to cut spending or pass a new tax increase. Read the rest of this entry "

Connect Your Computer to Your TV
Its easier than you think to get Internet and computer content on your big screen.
See more budget-friendly ways to live well for less.
Special Offers
There are lots of great Websites that let you download your favorite television shows and movies for free. If you dont want to watch your favorite show or a movie on your computers small screen, there are several methods for connecting your PC to your TV or getting Internet content on your TV, ranging from simple cables to more complex (and feature-rich) wireless kits.
Watch Good Housekeeping Research Institute test engineer Rachel Rothman walk you through the process.
Basic Cables
The easiest and often most inexpensive method for linking your computer with your TV is a matching cable connection (i.e., TV has VGA input and computer has VGA output). If you have the capability (both pieces of equipment have the proper ports), HDMI cables allow for better video quality. Just plug the cables into both devices and install any necessary software from the CD included with the cables, and youll be able to watch downloaded programs on your TV in no time. The limitation of this setup: Your computer has to be near your TV (limited by the length of the cables).
HDMI port
VGA port
If there isnt a match between video inputs to outputs, it may still be possible to connect the two. Most computers are equipped with the following: 15-pin VGA output, DVI connection, or S-video output. While analog TVs traditionally have only an S-video input, digital TVs have one of the three just mentioned. VGA or DVI will offer better image quality, so if you have those options use them first. Prior to connecting, download the latest drivers for your computers video card (look in the manual, in your computers help menus, and on the CD included with the cables for more information).
S-video port
