Council rezones former RCMP building for affordable housing
By: Matt Durnan
| Posted: Thursday, May 22, 2014 10:13 am
Early steps have been taken to expand Airdrie's affordable housing market.
On May 20, Airdrie City council voted unanimously in favour of a land use bylaw that will rezone land at 905 Edmonton Trail from Public Service District (P-1) to Direct Control (DC) to accommodate the future development of a mixed use building that will house a maximum of 21 affordable housing units.
Airdrie Senior Planner David Wyatt presented council with a conceptual design for the land that will include a three-storey, 12,000- square-foot building that will house commercial businesses on the ground level, office space on the second floor for Airdrie Housing Ltd. and Community Links, along with residential space on the third floor.
Wyatt highlighted in his presentation the opportune location for the building that is the former home of the Airdrie RCMP.
"We would be hard pressed to find a better location than this," said Wyatt. "This location is within a one kilometre radius, which is about 10 minutes walking, from Genesis Place, City Hall, Safeway, and there are five transit stops all within that radius."
Airdrie Housing Ltd. Managing Director Shelly Sweet explained the process the organization has gone through to reach this point, dating back to June 2011 and the acquisition of the land, to the application for re-zoning in Aug. 2013.
"This has been a very productive journey and our commitment has never wavered," said Sweet. "We listened to resident concerns and communicated with them throughout the process with a number of public consultations."
Concerns ranged from adequate parking space, to adding green space, to walkability of the area.
The conceptual plan includes the elimination of an existing temporary parking lot that will be turned into green space and the addition of a playground area.
Jim Hassett, of Airdrie Housing Limited, spoke about the impact and financial structure that will be associated with the new building.
"This building will represent a 50 per cent increase to our affordable housing stock," said Hassett.
"Airdrie Housing provides $20,000 per month to residents and with the rented commercial space we should be profiting between $250,000 and $300,000 annually, this will create a self-sustaining model."
Mayor Peter Brown joined the meeting via telephone and commended Sweet and Hassett for their dedication to the project and the manner in which they conducted their business.
"I want to congratulate you guys for your creative ideas and commend you for doing your due diligence in communicating with residents throughout," said Brown.
Alderman Kelly Hegg had similar sentiments to Brown, congratulating the work of Airdrie Housing Ltd.
"Airdrie really prides itself on its grassroots movements," said Hegg. "That's really what this is, it's a grassroots movement that has come up with something that I think will stand as a landmark in the community as a creative and sustainable site."
The bylaw was near and dear to Alderman Fred Burley, who is a member of the Airdrie Housing Board. Burley addressed the process and called the re-zoning a "great first step."
"What's great to see is that the public consultation process worked," said Burley. "Now we can move forward and look to hire an architect and start the planning process."

Sims 2 only runs in 800x600 resolution
I can't get the resolution any higher than 800x600 in Sims 2, even WITH expansions.
I've tried playing a bit before I installed Windows Updates and it worked fine, but it was right after I installed .NET Framework 4 updates and Internet Explorer 10 that it put me at those "weak" settings.
And I tried playing with the Graphics Rules.sgr file as with other suggestions when I looked around, and that didn't work. Some may suggest that my APU or the integrated graphics isn't supported.
CPU: AMD A4-5300 APU With Radeon Graphics
AMD Radeon HD 7480D IGD
Share memory has been set to 2 GB - Was 512 MB; Can be reverted
16 GB Main Memory
AMD Catalyst version 13.4
Apparently, I'm not joking around.
|My System Specs
|19 Aug 2013
Windows 7 ultimate x64
Find the file:
C:/Program Files/EA GAMES/The Sims 2/TSData/Res/Config/Graphics Rules.sgr
… and make a copy of it under a different name as a backup (something like Graphics Rules.sgr.bak)
Now edit the original file and find the section:
"option ScreenModeResolution"
You will see settings for Low, Medium, and High. Copy the medium settings and paste them over the low settings to allow the game to start at 1024×768 resolution or better.
Save and exit and then start the game to see if it works.

Memory Hax!
As I said before, I did that hack and I only got options to change the screen resolution. That was it. The options to change the View Distance, Special Event Camera, Smooth Edges, etc. can't be changed unless some texture memory is seen by the game. Every other time I've started the game, it doesn't find any, and sets the texture memory size to 32MB, yet when I run DXDiag (32bit and 64bit) it reports it as 4095MB and 712MB, respectively. Seems as though Windows Update is changing the way older games work with Direct3D texture memory mapping. What I simply did was force the size of the memory being shared in BIOS for seti textureMemory in Graphics Rules.sgr, in the case of no texture memory found, like this:
if (not $useSoftwareRasterizer) # failed to obtain device texture memory size, force to 32MB if ($textureMemory = 0) seti textureMemory 2047 setb textureMemorySizeOK false endif

NFC South
Daniel Jeremiah from the NFL Network
Daniel Jeremiah from the NFL Network joined Rick and Jamie to talk about this weeks Falcons game. Daniel talked to us about how the Falcons are lacking in the pass rush. He mentioned the way […]
Falcons Hope For A Reversal Of Fortunes Against Saints This Season
Just like last year, the Atlanta Falcons opened up the regular season against their bitter NFC South rival the New Orleans Saints.
Greg Olsen Gives The Carolina Panthers A Proven Receiving Threat
The Carolina Panthers cut the face of the franchise, Steve Smith, and let the only other three wide receivers on the roster that caught a pass last season leave as free agents. Tight end Greg Olsen is the only proven receiver returning from last season's squad. Olsen should be Cam Newton's favorite target this season.
Four Main Things The Saints Must Do To Win In Rematch With Seahawks
Six weeks ago, the New Orleans Saints suffered their worst loss of the season in a game where they were absolutely demolished by the Seattle Seahawks. Immediately afterward, head coach Sean Payton told his players to put the game behind them because they would get another shot. Payton was right as the Saints are meeting the Seahawks again, and there are four big things they need to do, in order to win.
Newton Needs Panthers Players To Step Up
The Carolina Panthers had to win the last game of the season to get the NFC South title and a first-round bye so it's not like it was a time they could rest their players. Steve Smith had to sit out with an injury, and there were not a lot of other options for Cam Newton to rely on, but there need to be.
Presto Chango: Panthers Turn Awful 2013 Start Into First-Round Playoff Bye
The Carolina Panthers started off the season with a 1-3 start, and were tied with the Atlanta Falcons for second place. It wasn't a second place that was even close to the NFC South-leading New Orleans Saints, but the rest of the season proved to turn out completely different.
Eagles Prepare For Saints Wild Card Battle
Drew Brees will be much more successful against the Eagles defense than back-up Kyle Orton was in the final game of the regular season. But, if the Eagles can knock Brees off his game, then the Saints could quickly run out of options to try and keep up wit the Eagles offense.
Matt Ryan Sacked Nine Times As Panthers Beat Falcons 21-20
ATLANTA (AP) — Cam Newton threw two touchdown passes, Greg Hardy had a team-record four sacks and the Carolina Panthers clinched the NFC South title by beating the Atlanta Falcons 21-20 on Sunday. The Panthers […]
Sports Verdict: Who Will Win The NFC South? Saints Vs. Panthers
Both the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers sit tied atop the NFC South at 10-4. One of them will emerge as the winner of the conference in two weeks. The question is, who will secure the division title?
Brees Throws 2 TDs, Saints Beat Falcons 17-13
The Falcons opened the game forcing the Saints to go three and out, marking New Orleans' 20th three-and-out of the season, which is the third fewest in the NFL this year. Atlanta's offense opened the […]

Can't seem to find these anymore.
morning bump.
I am saving this bad boy for tomorrow at work. It will be a ghost town here on base. Hell, I might listen to it twice.
Super busy procrastinated holiday time... I haven't even listened to it yet :/
I agree the defensive game plan was the dumbest game plan to go against Brady with. You have to pressure Brady that was the key in everyone of his losses. Fox knows no bounds when it comes to holding Tebow back. They are using both the offense as well as the defense to shut Tebow down. This is crazy.
Miller 8 tackles and 2 sacks per game average in last four games.
Doom 4 sacks with 5 tackles per game average the last three games.
What projected to be 13 tackles and 3 sacks, emerged as only 3 tackles and one sack combined against NE. DJ had two sacks last week.
Detroit was the last time these two came away without a sack in a game, go figure...
The ultra-conservative tack is killing the Time of possession factor as well.
Broncos TOP factor is virtually the legnth of a quarter behind the opponent the past three games.
The Tebow experiment? This is ludicrous statement. Is Tebow a girl? Was a he a RB in college? A WR? Hearing Experiment you would not know that this guy won a heisman and two national championships as a QB. How whacked can you get. Can you desparage tebow anymore than claiming the endeavor to have him on a team is an experiment. That is such a pathetic view, weak and clueless one at that.
You guys mean to tell me that you believe Tebow being on a leash for 3 quarters is not sabotaging this team, sabotaging Tebow? Only a fool would believe that.

Grrr... still haven't found time.
I listened to it on my 25 mile bike ride yesterday. Now I've got to figure out what to listen to on my 15 mile ride today...
Got it on my phone. It will be my entertainment for tomorrow when I am in the kitchen for a long while tomorrow.

Cagney didn't make many westerns, and this was his first since THE OKLAHOMA KID. In Cagney's first film, SINNER'S HOLIDAY, he played under Withers, and he did the same thing in his third movie, OTHER MEN'S WOMEN. The times changed and Withers was now supporting Cagney. This picture also marked the
end of the 40-year career of beloved Jean Hersholt, a man who had a special Academy Award named after him. The Danish actor was known for his humanitarian works, and the Oscar is annually given to someone who best represents Hersholt's memory. leave a comment

Olympic Snowboarder Shaun White Buys $3.85 Million Beach House
December 3, 2012 12:26 PM
Shaun White recently purchased a 3,500-square-foot beach house in Encinitas, California, and though the mansion was listed for $4.25 million, he was able to talk the sellers down to $3.85 million. Not only is he a pro on the slopes, but it sounds like he's just as skilled when it comes to negotiations!
The three-bedroom, three-bathroom home has a private staircase that leads down to the beach, and other amenities include floor-to-ceiling windows, a huge deck with a fire pit and a gourmet kitchen. Sounds like the perfect spot to entertain!

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -- A few dozen friends and relatives attended a low-key funeral today for Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman.
In keeping with his wishes, the small ceremony was held on the secluded Swedish island where Bergman spent his final years.
The famed filmmaker reportedly left written instructions calling for no eulogies or profusion of flowers. An organ and cello played Bach. There were no speeches.
A single photographer was allowed to take pictures; other media and the public were barred.
Bergman was 89 when he died last month at his Faro island home. His children were among the small circle at today's funeral, along with actors Liv Ullmann and Bibi Andersson.

Sunderland closing in on deals for Mendy and Mannone
Promising full-back Benjamin Mendy is due on Wearside later this week to tie up a move to Sunderland.
The 18-year-old Le Havre defender is expected to head for England to complete his switch with the two clubs having agreed a deal some time ago.
Left-back Mendy has also been linked with Arsenal, Lyon and Marseille this summer, but the player has indicated that the Stadium of Light will be his destination and Press Association Sport understands the transfer could be completed within days.
That would represent a major boost for manager Paolo Di Canio and his recruitment team, headed by new director of football Roberto De Fanti.
The Black Cats confirmed three new signings yesterday as defenders Valentin Roberge and Modibo Diakite and midfielder Cabral officially became Sunderland players after running down their contracts at Maritimo, Lazio and Basle respectively.
But work is continuing apace to further re-shape not only the first team, but the development squad too.
Di Canio is hot on the trail of Velez Sarsfield's 21-year-old right-back Gino Peruzzi, while Le Havre midfielder El-Hadji Ba, 20, is expected to complete a Bosman free transfer sooner rather than later.
The Black Cats are also close to adding Arsenal goalkeeper Vito Manonne to the ranks after agreeing a fee with the Gunners over the weekend.
Italian Mannone, 25, made 13 appearances for Arsene Wenger's men last season, four of them in the Champions League, although his last game came in November after number one Wojciech Szczesny had returned from an ankle injury.
He spent the remainder of the season on the bench with Lukasz Fabianski getting the nod when Szczesny succumbed to injury once again in March.
A move to Sunderland may give him a better chance of competing for a first-team place, although he would arrive with Keiren Westwood seemingly the man in possession following Simon Mignolet's departure for Liverpool.
The Reds paid an initial £9million for the Belgium international, representing a significant profit on the £2mil the Black Cats had handed over for him three years earlier.
Mannone's price-tag is understood to amount to a fraction of the proceeds of Mignolet's sale.
Di Canio and his players are due to return for pre-season training tomorrow with the rebuilding work only partially complete and further arrivals and departures in the offing.
The Italian is desperate to recruit at least one striker, and AZ Alkmaar's United States international Jozy Altidore has been heavily linked with the club.
But there could be further departures too amid speculation that full-back Phil Bardsley, skipper Lee Cattermole and playmaker Stephane Sessegnon may leave.

Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
Nissan tweaks the 2014 Sentra with some revised tuning to its CVT transmission, suspension and steering. New features include lower front-seat storage pockets and an updated NissanConnect with Apps.
The 2013 Nissan Sentra is as new as new gets. In addition to all the improvements you can see and touch, the Sentra is built on a new, lighter platform and driven by a new engine and transmission setup.
Changes for the 2012 Nissan Sentra sedan are limited to a new Technology Package on the S trim, and a Special Edition package for the SL that combines the Technology, Convenience and Moonroof packages into one low-cost bundle.
Changes for the 2011 Nissan Sentra include an increase in city fuel economy and a realignment of some option packages. 2.0 CVT, S and SL trims receive an SE-R style rear spoiler, while anti-lock brakes, traction control and stability control are now standard on all trims.
For 2010, Sentra 2.0, 2.0 S and 2.0 SL receive a slight exterior freshening of their hood, front fascia and rear end; Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) is now available on all models. Packaging and option changes, as well as the addition of an optional (and very affordable) navigation system mark the other major changes.
New for 2009 are speed-sensitive locks, new cloth seat trims, a new rear trunk lid, MP3 playback (S and SL trims) and three new colors.
All three trim levels benefit from minor but meaningful upgrades in standard equipment or option packages. The base 2.0 now has a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), the 2.0 S adds a security system and anti-lock (ABS) brakes, the 2.0 SL gets XM Satellite Radio and all gain daytime running lights.
In addition to CVT availability, Nissan's second-smallest sedan is bigger inside and out, as well as more powerful: Specifically, 140 horsepower versus the prior 126. Buyers who crave more assertive performance can wait for the Sentra SE-R, which debuted at the Los Angeles Auto Show and goes on sale in 2007.
When Nissan redesigned the Sentra last year, its goal was to create a compact economy car that looked and felt like a premium midsize sedan. While no mini-Maxima, we do think the Sentra feels very Altima-like, in both the way it drives and pampers its occupants. The refined interior doesn't just look great; it's actually quite functional, providing a big back seat and a spacious trunk. Understanding that today's car buyer is as concerned with high-tech as with high fuel economy, Nissan has equipped the Sentra with all manner of available treats, including the NissanConnect infotainment package that includes features to access Goggle and Pandora, as well as manage text messages.

Day 1 The Flow of Money
Welcome to Take Control Bootcamp! In these two weeks, we'll take stock of where you are with your finances and help you figure out where you want to go. The first week will be devoted to assessing your current financial picture and spending habits. The second week, we'll help you dream up some smart financial goals and work out a plan to transform them into reality. By the end of these two weeks, you'll feel in charge of your finances, and your money will be on the road to supporting the life you want.
An Easy Way to Log Your Spending
Before we get started, we want to make sure you're set up and ready to take full advantage of this bootcamp. That means logging your spending, seeing where you've been spending for the past few months, and being able to create and track financial goals. There's something to be said for keeping receipts and a classic little notebook. But things have a tendency to be lost or miswritten, and frankly, it's just a lot of work and math. Who has the time?
An easy way to log your spending is through our Money Center. You connect your accounts (don't worry–LearnVest has bank-level security and no ability to move money in and out of accounts) and each transaction is automatically logged for you.
You'll be able to see every credit card transaction, all your savings transfers, each of your paychecks and every ATM withdrawal. Plus, you can enter all your cash transactions and–best of all–set your savings goals. Now, no more excuses! You will know where every penny goes and can start saving today.
The Money Center is also key to completing many of the tasks in this bootcamp. If you haven't connected your accounts yet, do so here.
Now you're prepared to take control of your money! To start, we'll take a look today at some basic ways of gauging the current state of your finances.

How to raise KH and GH safely?
I have 8 juvenile discus in my 60 gallon tank. My water out of tap is 6.7 - 6.8. My GH is 0-1 and KH is 1. I recently added a little alkaline buffer in the last water change raising my KH to 4 and PH to 7.3. I want to inject c02 so need to get my GH, KH and PH levels up. Does anyone have experience with Seachem Alkaline buffer? Whats a good product to raise my GH? I am assuming that adding and raising my levels slowly over the period of a few days will be safe for my fish. I do not want to cause any unnecessary stress. Is there a technique that I should follow to do this?

I'm not really following your logic. You're planning on adding CO2, which is fine. Why do you feel like you need to increase your KH, GH, and pH to do that? Adding CO2, regardless of what any of those parameters are, won't harm your fish. Your buffer can potentially do more damage to them than CO2 will.

My water out of the tap has almost 0 buffering capacity. When I inject c02 my ph hits the low 5 range and with 4 watts per gallon lighting I need to have even more c02 thus bringing my ph even lower maybe even into the 4 range. At such a low c02 ph range wont it eventually become harmful to either my fish or plants? Or have a harder time dissolving into the water? Since I am trying to avoid hitting such extreme low ph values with my c02 I basically have been growing black beard algae. I want to be able to inject more and be within a normal 6.5 ph range for a discus tank. Plus I was hoping to stay in the 6 range for the health of my discus. This is where I might be contradicting myself, isn't my water ph already within the discus 6.5 range and adding c02 is just altering the ph number not the TDS etc?
I was going to increase my GH for the sake of my plants getting the calcium and magnesium they need from the water.
Maybe I should just reduce the lighting all together, needing less c02 and less nutrients and making my life easier. The reason I upped my lighting so much was because my tank is pretty deep at 32 inches and growing carpet foreground plants was difficult. Seems like the more watts the more trouble I've gotten myself into. Even at 2 watts per gallon won't it still be beneficial to have at least some type of KH value in my water rather than 0-1?

If you decide you do want to increase these levels you should check out this - very cheap and easy, though obviously for your purposes you would use much less:

CO2 can't lower the pH much below 5.5, if that low. At normal aquarium water temperatures, that is about the bottom limit for pH due to CO2. (I think this is because no more carbonic acid is formed once the pH is that low.)
If your KH is above 1 degree of KH you have as much buffering as you can get from KH. Increasing the KH further just raises the pH.
It is safe to raise the KH with baking soda, but not necessary to raise it above the 1-2 range. And, once you start adding baking soda to adjust the KH, and GH booster to adjust the GH, you are stuck with having to match those adjusted values with each water addition to the tank. Of course small variations aren't a problem, but adding half a tank of 1 dKH water to a tank of 6 dKH water is not a small variation to the fish. It is an abrupt drop in half of the KH. This still might not prove to be a problem, but how will you know for sure?

I have used Seachem Equilibrium to raise the GH in planted tanks, with soft water fish and hard water fish. The key is to know how much to add. There is a recipe on the jar. Try half that, and see what it does for your tank. I dissolve it in a jar of water (it takes a lot of shaking) then add it to the tank, or else add it dry to the water I am preparing for the next water change. A small pump to move that water around will usually dissolve the Equilibrium. Barr's GH Booster is just about the same ingredients, but seems to dissolve easier.
Baking soda for KH is OK, but I would just maintain 1-2 degrees, no need to go higher.

Where do you guys fly your micro EDF's?
Hey guys. I haven't flown my F86 Sabre yet due to a lack of places to fly it. I'm worried about not having enough space and worried about it making too much noise for the area I usually fly at. I usually fly at a moderately sized school field with houses surrounding it, so I am worried that it may be too loud and not be big enough. Where do you guys fly your micro EDF's? I'm thinking of joining my local club again, but since I fly mostly micros, I'm not sure if its worth it.

I am a park flyer who flies primarily micros and helis. I usually only fly early in the mornings when there is no one around. In this area the landscapers and the Township start mowing at 7:00 AM and my F-86 or my MIG is not as loud as they are. In the winter all the windows are closed and in the summer all the a/c units are going strong. I do not worry about the noise.
|May 31, 2013, 06:29 AM
Thanks. I guess I'll have to see if theres an area that will be well suited then.

I fly in the mornings just like you so I understand you concern about the noise.
I think a High school would be a good bet to look for. They tend to have large sports fields & running tracks close together giving lots of room. There also tends to be very few trees except at the perimeter of the schools which helps mask the noise if there are houses near. My EDF (Mig) sounds quite loud to me when flown in between buildings.
I have flown at a park with 2 soccer fields joined together. The length of the area was fine but the width is too narrow to do turns. Need to stick with hammerheads here to go back and forth. This area was also between buildings so the engine sounds were amplified.
I have flown at a high school that has a large baseball field and running track next to each other. There is plenty of space. This wide open space prevents any amplification of the sound from neighboring buildings. The trees at the perimeter dampens sound that may travel outside the field area.
I normally would fly in a big open field. Unfortunately when I was driving to work today I noticed it was getting torn up with a tractor. Think I will need to find a new spot or just use the high school near me.
In short big open fields are best but high schools work fine.
|May 31, 2013, 02:19 PM
Thanks. The place I flew last was a high school, but it still sounded a little bit too loud, and then with sporting events going on in the distance, I seemed like I was distracting them. I may have to just deal with the "big planes are better than micros" mentality of people at my flying field and rejoin....
|May 31, 2013, 04:03 PM
I fly at my house which is a rural setting in Indiana with the nearest neighbors about 0.2 miles away. Even so my GP micro F-86 catches the attention of others. One neighbor commented on how fast the plane sounds (I interpreted that as loud) compared to every other prop-driven micro I fly. And that he has not seen it yet because of its actual speed
I find that if I throttle back and fly at half throttle or so, then the sound is not nearly as loud. Part of the problem is that my EDF is a bit out of balance from the factory. One day I may tear into the fuselage and improve that.
|May 31, 2013, 06:55 PM
Ah okay thanks! I'm not sure if mine is out of balance...not sure how to check for that.
|May 31, 2013, 10:24 PM
I used to fly large planes, but now fly mostly micro's due to space requirements of the larger planes. I fly on a small abandoned play area just above my house. I fly my 1s jet right in the front since they don't cause any damage and the noise is very low! My F-86 man that thing is very loud! So is the HH mig 15 but not nearly as loud as the GP sabre. I would not dare fly that any where near my house and have to go to large soccer complex across the street. The Mig also needs a large area.

The GP fan is the loudest micros that I've heard. My little 35mm flying wing has a Sky Angel fan. It will do 90 mph on 3s and it is about 25% of the noise of the GP.

Good to know that I'm not the only one who thinks its absurdly loud for what it is. Do you guys think its louder than a gasser plane? I would hate to go to the flying field and start up my sabre just to find out that its "too loud for the field." It seems anything louder than a gasser gets a red flag.

The F-86 takes a LOT more room than a similar sized bipe. I fly mine in a 165 ft x 330 ft pasture surrounded by trees . . . barely. It is tight if the wind crosses the narrow portion.
A soccer field would be good. Meadows, fields, over lakes or rivers. I also belong to two clubs with large airstrips and that is where I fly most often.
It's not so much the volume but the annoying pitch. I have had guys howl and bark at the "dog whistle" or call it a "Barbie Blow Drier". That usually passes when they see it fly.
|Jun 01, 2013, 09:20 AM
Ah okay thanks. Yeah I'm going to join the RC club around here and then fly it there. It seems to be the best place to fly it.

My neighborhood is surrounded by trees. Can't really fly there. Houses are close together too.

Jump$tart Member Spotlight: Mike Johnson
Iowa Jump$tart is a coalition of members who seek to improve the personal financial literacy of all Iowans. To help you get to know our board members better, we will periodically spotlight members here.
For this spotlight, we are featuring Mike Johnson. Mike brings a wealth of financial education knowledge to the board – with his experience in helping both students and adults. Mike started teaching economics in high school 14 years ago, and is currently a teacher at SE Polk High School — where he helps teach students about financial literacy.

Iowa Jump$tart Financial Literacy Conference offers resources for teachers
On July 17, a group of Iowa teachers attended the Iowa Jump$tart Financial Literacy Conference in Ankeny, Iowa. This annual conference highlights financial literacy programs and materials available for educators to use in the classroom in order to teach the subject of financial literacy to Iowa students.
Opening keynote speakers included Kenneth McDonnell of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and Bill Cheeks of the National Jump$tart Coalition. McDonnell shared information on financial literacy resources available from the CFPB, including tools to help consumers with questions about paying for college and understanding mortgages. Cheeks provided an update on resources available from the National Jump$tart Coalition, including opportunities to attend their National Educators Conference Nov. 8-10 in Los Angeles.
Mary Suiter of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis was the keynote speaker during the lunch hour, and discussed the variety of financial literacy resources available from her organization. The St. Louis Fed offers economics and personal finance education resources segmented by educational level, such as elementary school, middle school, high school and college, through their Econlowdown program.
Closing keynote speakers were TS Bank Institute's Bob Mantell and Kyle Osborne. Leading an interactive session, Mantell and Osborne discussed their blueprint to improve financial literacy for students and shared a variety of free financial literacy resources available for teachers. TS Bank is currently involved with in-school banking and after school programs, as well as offering professional development resources for teachers so they feel prepared and comfortable teaching financial literacy material.
In addition to the keynote speakers, breakout sessions providing additional resources and information were held by representatives from the Iowa Attorney & General's Office, Wells Fargo, MECCA, Dordt College, Financial Capability Network, Davenport Community School District, and AskMrG Consulting, LLC.
All of the speakers shared a multitude of financial literacy programs and classroom materials ranging from online games for improving financial skills to information for teens starting the journey to financial independence. The conference helped inspire and give new ideas to all levels of educators as they prepare for the new school year.

WHEREAS, The State of Iowa believes knowledge of personal finance is essential for the success of our citizens and state; and
WHEREAS, Iowa is taking decisive action to promote financial stability, and the State's prosperity will ultimately depend on our willingness as individuals to empower ourselves and our families with financial knowledge; and

WHEREAS, The Iowa College Student Aid Commission, the Iowa Department of Education, the Treasurer of the State, the Department of Commerce Banking and Insurance Divisions, and their partners wish to instill core concepts of personal finance in all Iowans including: savings, banking, credit scores, financing higher education, taxes and insurance, consumer fraud and investing; and
WHEREAS, Working with partners across the state, Iowa's goal is to ensure all Iowans are prepared to successfully manage their finances; and
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Terry E. Branstad, Governor of the State of Iowa, do hereby proclaim the month of April, 2013 as FINANCIAL LITERACY AWARENESS MONTH.
TS Bank Institute and Iowa Bankers Association Awarded

20 Iowa Teachers Attend National Jump$tart Conference
Dozens of Iowa students will get new lessons on personal finance in class, thanks to Iowa JumpStart Coalition and its parent organization. The Coalition sent 20 Iowa teachers to the 5th annual JumpStart National Educator Conference in Chicago several weeks ago.
"The national conference offered hundreds of classroom educators an opportunity to see, learn about, and try new personal financial resources to bring their lesson plans to life," said JumpStart regional director and organizer Dan Hebert. Teachers also had opportunities to meet with finance and education leaders and network with colleagues from across the country.
Through a generous contribution from the Iowa Division of Banking, Iowa JumpStart paid all costs for any Iowa teacher who wanted to attend. Here's what they had to say:
"First, please convey my appreciation to the Iowa Jumpstart Coalition for sponsoring so many of us so we could attend the National Conference. It was a great conference loaded with lots of wonderful information and resources. The accommodations were outstanding. As teachers we are not used to being wined and dined. I spent a number of years as a home economist in business and this conference reminded me of many of those meetings I attended. Again, thanks for this wonderful opportunity."
Mary Burgher, Clear Creek Amana High School
"I loved the conference and it was very beneficial. I appreciate the support."
Ken Burrow, Business Education Teacher, Waverly-Shell Rock High School
"The conference was wonderful!"
Charlet Daft, Basics and Beyond, Newton Community Schools
"Thank you for sending us to the Jump$tart conference. Tim and I had a wonderful time and took away a lot of valuable information. I'm looking forward to the Iowa conference next summer and possibly attending another national conference in the future."
Bethany Hadley, HS Math Instructor, Sigourney Community Schools
"Thank you for all your help in funding and communication about the conference in Chicago last weekend. I came back with wonderful lessons, reference materials, and contacts. I had a great time. Thank you for the wonderful experience and opportunity to network with financial experts. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!"
Rhonda Hawkins, Business Teacher/MO Coordinator
"Thanks again for everything you (and the others) did for us at the conference."
Larry Heltenberg, Central Decatur School District
"Thanks for allowing me to go. It was a fantastic experience!"
Mike Johnson, High School Economics Teacher, Southeast Polk High School
"As I have stated before, 'Thank you' for paying for this conference. I did enjoy it, and did learn a lot about financial literacy, and the material to teach it to my students."
Jim Moeller, BCLUW High School
"Again, thanks to Jump$tart for paying for the conference, parking, mileage and tolls. I can't wait to go through everything this weekend! "
Marcey Norland, North Union MS Math Teacher
"Thanks again for sponsoring me to attend National JumpStart. I had a wonderful time!"
Cindy Weeks, Roosevelt High School
"I didn't realize that Iowa JumpStart was picking up the registration and travel costs for the conference! That's amazing! I think this is one of the best conferences I've attended in all my years of teaching – and I've been teaching for 28 years! I was able to pick up so much good information and a lot of valuable resources that I will be using in my Personal Finance classes. Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity!"
Deanna Weinschenk, Pleasant Valley High School
Statewide Financial Literacy Program Launches

While Steven Gerrard lifted the Champions League trophy in May 2005, an altogether smaller-seeming battle was no closer to being resolved in the northeast Bulgarian town of Razgrad.

Wesley Sneijder is keen to leave Inter Milan after on-going contract rows (Picture: Getty) Long-term Manchester United target Wesley Sneijder could finally be getting his long-awaited move to the Premier League, after his agent set tongues wagging by admitting the Dutchman wants a move to a 'top' English club. The Inter Milan midfielder has been sitting on the sidelines for much of this season after a contract dispute at the San Siro and is now keen to make a move to England. Inter Milan are keen on Edin Dzeko (Picture: Getty) And Inter could orchestrate a move to City, with their target Edin Dzeko coming the other way. Read the full story here. But one City player who is not wanted in Italy is Mario Balotelli. Rotten apple: Manchester City's Mario Balotelli (Picture: Action Images) Reports yesterday linked the controversial striker with a move to AC Milan, but the club's president Silvio Berlusconi has ruled out the signing, calling the 22-year-old a 'rotten apple'. Across Manchester, United are set to battle it out with Chelsea for the signings of teenage stars Hervin Ongenda and Marko Dabro. 17-year-old Ongenda has been scoring for fun in Paros Saint Germain's Under-19 side this term, while Dabro is wanted across Europe, with Italian giants Juventus also keen on the Cibalia youngster. Marouane Fellaini has become one of the Premier League's hottest properties (Picture: Reuters/Action Images) And Chelsea are also hot on the trail of Everton's Marouane Fellaini but face stiff competition from Arsenal.

But the Blues have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Malaga midfielder Isco, after the Spanish club said they would reject any offer for their 20-year-old playmaker. Isco has also been tracked by Tottenham, but it doesn't appear Andre Villas-Boas will be getting his man either. Talent: Younes Belhanda is wanted by sides across Europe (Picture: EPA) But one midfielder AVB may be bringing to White Hart Lane is Montpellier's Younes Belhanda, although they will have to fend off the advances of Turkish side Fenerbahce. Also in north London, Arsenal appear to have missed out on two of their January transfer targets, after Barcelona told Arsene Wenger to forget about signing striker David Villa, as they have no intention of letting the Spaniard leave the Nou Camp. Staying put: Barcelona are refusing to sell David Villa this month (Picture: AFP) And the Gunners have decided to end their interest in Rennes star Yann M'Vila, who is also wanted by QPR.

Susan Schwartz already drives a Prius and has solar panels on her home. But the 69-year-old Berkeley woman still doesn't think she's doing enough to stop global warming.
On Thursday and Friday, Schwartz will join hundreds of other Bay Area residents to document the spectacularly high tides lapping at shores and seawalls across the region. The tides aren't new - they happen every year - but this week a coalition of government and nonprofit advocates hopes the photos will draw attention to the rising seas.
The photos of the king tides will be collected online on Twitter, Facebook and Flickr and will offer the most compelling preview of what scientists say the Bay Area could look like in 2070, when the sea level is expected to be as much as 3 feet higher than it is now, organizers said.
"King tides themselves are the highest high tides of the year and not related to global climate change," said Marina Psaros, global coordinator for the King Tides Initiative, which is organizing the effort. "But (the pictures) can give us a good sense of where the water is going to be under sea level-rise conditions, so people can get out and see what sea level rise will look like on a daily basis in 50 years."

Organizers hope evocative images of a flooded Embarcadero sidewalk in San Francisco or sopping estuary in Oakland will get people to think about how rising carbon levels, melting glaciers and dirty energy will impact their lives.
"Our hope is to make a connection," said Taylor Nairn, a program assistant for Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, an affiliate of the King Tides Initiative. "While king tides in and of themselves aren't related to sea level rise, the large group of photos do make a statement that these could be tomorrow's sea levels. Climate change and sea level rise aren't this abstract concept in the future; people can see it now."
On Wednesday, 24 hours before the highest high tides, streets in Mill Valley were flooded and beaches in San Francisco and the Peninsula were already inundated. Highway 1 near Highway 101 in Marin was closed to traffic.
Tidal surges of 9.6 feet higher than sea level are expected in Redwood City at 10:44 a.m. Thursday, while a tide gauge near the Golden Gate Bridge will record 7.2 feet of tide. Last Thursday, the same gauge recorded a high tide of 5.2 feet. Similarly high tides are expected Friday.
The king tides are caused by the perfect alignment of the sun and the moon, which pulls ocean water to opposite sides of the earth. Most tidal surges are created predominantly by the gravitational pull of the moon.
Taking positive steps
While seemingly a passive act, taking pictures of rising water can help show Bay Area residents what is at stake, organizers said.
"I think the feeling of being able to do something positive is good," Schwartz said after taking pictures Wednesday morning at the Berkeley waterfront. "We can all drive high-mileage cars, but this is something that goes beyond ourselves. We are communicating with other people when we take these pictures and share them.
"There is a feeling of being part of something larger if you contribute to this," she added.
Photos from 2011 were collected and displayed at the California Academy of Sciences, as well as on the group's Facebook and Twitter profiles, Psaros said.
David Hey, 63, of Foster City was walking his 8-year-old beagle Toby on Tuesday morning when he noticed that the bay level was higher than normal. It was a sign of what's to come, Hey said.
"Unfortunately everyone is denying it, including the Democrats, because the cost of correcting it will be so much," he said. "We're all forgetting about our kids and our grandkids."

The Rosemont (Ill.) Convention Center and the Riggers and Decorators unions have signed an agreement designed to cut exhibitors' costs by about 10 percent. The unions agreed to reduce the hours during which workers are paid overtime, and will now allow exhibitors to do more work themselves within their own booths. The Riggers and Decorators are the two smallest unions of the five that have jurisdiction in the Chicago area. Currently, Rosemont is not negotiating with the other unions. ...
