The Power of WHY
By Susan Cappa
We are excited about the addition of Richard Weylman to the CE@SEA Continuing Education Session during the upcoming Cruise to the British Isles in August. From his current best selling book The Power of Why, Richard will explore the topic "Breaking Out in a Crowded and Competitive Marketplace."
His groundbreaking message keys off of a fundamental change of 21st century business – the shift in power from advisor and firm to the client and prospect. Throughout his presentation, Richard demonstrates how explaining who you are, what you do, or even how you do it is not the answer to the prospect's WHY. Most importantly, he will provide attendees with a clear path to break out and establish marketplace distinction for themselves and their practice.
Richard's background is interesting. Orphaned at the age of 6, he spent his childhood living in 19 different foster homes and attending 11 different schools – which he regards as great training "no problem in meeting and connecting with new people". His formative years are a testament to utilizing adverse life experiences as stepping stones to professional and personal success.
There is still time to sign up for the British Isles Cruise and CE@SEA Cruise Conference and hear Richard Weylman with an entire roster of professional speakers. For more cruise details, contact Starr Morrow, Cruise Director 423.741.8224. Immediate Bookings can be directed toward Leonard Passmore, Travel Agent 423.676.2069. Visit the IARFC website for up-to-date postings on cruise pricing and presenters.

Results of IARFC Board Elections
Report by Nominating Committee Liaison, Susan Cappa
Recently the IARFC recruited candidates for 3 open positions on their Board of Directors. The election process permitted any member of the Association to volunteer or a member could nominate another member for service. This year we had an unprecedented number of very high caliber candidates for the 3 positions.
Each candidate went through a vetting process and all qualified for nomination based on their qualifications, continuing education and continuous good service to their clients. The current Board of Directors then voted from the slate of candidates. The results:
- Jon Rogers of Rogers Financial Group LLC, Greenville, SC (reelected)
- Isabel Cooper of Edelman Financial Services, Ashburn, VA (reelected)
- Mayo Woodward, Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc, Birmingham, AL
As the newest member of the Board, Mayo Woodward stated: "I am thrilled to be part of such a great organization where the focus is on ethics and treating clients with the utmost respect. Being on the Board gives me the chance to continue to drive the mission of the IARFC and share it with others."
The newly elected directors will be attending the Annual Board Meeting and taking part in the Semi-Finals judging of the National Financial Plan Competition at corporate headquarters in Middletown, OH next March. The next year will be an extremely important time for the IARFC as it goes through a complex and lengthy process of third party scrutiny. The Board will be instrumental in fulfilling this goal of accreditation.
MRFC Certification Board Ready to Roll
From the Accreditation Team
The MRFC Certification Board is now in place and ready to start working on accreditation. This governing body – independent of the IARFC Board of Directors is a required component by the NCCA. It is their responsibility to oversee and maintain the accreditation from development to NCCA submission to post acceptance. It was made very clear that they are in charge.
Your newly elected board members are: Nicolas Pologeorgis, Louise Fallica, Edward Skelly, Burton Stewart and Julie Friend. On October 30th, the Board had their first meeting with the IARFC accreditation team via GoToMeeting.
The initial meeting was a basic housekeeping agenda – with details of communication protocols, terms of office and a general awareness of where the IARFC is in the accreditation process. Dr. Nicolas Pologeorgis was elected Chairman of the Board. The accreditation timeline was reviewed as to where we are with the exam process and what we need to do to meet the goals.
Board members are meeting the first Tuesday of every month and plan to have an in-person meeting once a year. They will be updating the members as they go along with this process. Any questions can be address to Amy Primeau – email@example.com – who is the MRFC Board Liaison.
Introducing the MRFC (Master Registered Financial Consultant)
If you have read the Register in the past year or two, you know that the IARFC has been proceeding down the Path to Accreditation. You've heard about the behind the scenes work the IARFC is doing in order to reach the goal.
The question we keep hearing from members is "WHY?" Why is the IARFC seeking accreditation. Why now, when the IARFC is in its 30th year, after having weathered the storm for so long.
These are questions that Amy Primeau, Domestic Membership for IARFC posed in her article in the September/October Register.
To understand why the IARFC is taking on such an ambitious project, read the entire article so you know the importance of this endeavor and how the IARFC is meeting the challenges of moving the Association forward.
New Issue – Journal of Personal Finance
This Fall brings a new issue of the Journal of Personal Finance. It is the first Journal produced by our new co-editors Wade D. Pfau, Ph.D., CFA, RFC® and Joseph A. Tomlinson, FSA, CFP™, RFC®.
This Volume 13 Issue 2 covers a variety of financial planning topics ranging from traditional survey research studies to articles in new groundbreaking areas such a optimization techniques for financial planning and neuroscience applications.
According to Dr. Pfau, "The lead article by Gordon Irlam on connecting retirement asset allocation to age and funded status has already drawn the interest from one Nobel laureate interested in retirement income, and it is just one of the many articles that could positively impact our profession"
You will find the abstracts of all the articles on the Journal website.
IARFC members will be sent an electronic copy of the Journal as part of their member benefits. Hard copies are available to members and non-members through the IARFC store.
2015 National Financial Plan Competition Ramps Up
Update September 2014…
Our first invites went out for the 2015 IARFC National Plan Competition. This time we are holding the finals in the Motor Speedway City of Charlotte, NC.
We are happy to report that 112 students from 11 different Universities have responded so far and we still have six weeks of registration to go. Great news in that the majority of the Universities interested are new. All in all it is a good showing for the first call for participants.

It's All a Case of Balance
Exerts from Michelle Blair, RFC "Pearl's" article in the September Register.
If we thought that technology was changing quickly 30 years ago, watch out for the future! Before, we would measure major change cycles in years, but today there is something new and exciting on a daily basis. For instance:
- Everyone maintains their "life" on a phone or tablet these days
- We use Skype on a daily basis
- An Outlook calendar sees "where" everyone is
- CRM maintains our database
- Financial plans are entered into software
- Branding yourself on social media is the way to go.
NEVER let the personal touch go by the wayside. People still relate to a human voice and appreciate an old fashioned phone call instead of a text or email. It's all a case of balance!
For the entire article – check the "Pearls" article How Has Technology Affected Daily Operations in Your Business in the Last 30 Years? of the September edition of the Register.
Path to Accreditation – Exam Item Writing is Progressing
Recently a group of subject matter experts (SMEs) convened in Middletown, OH to write the items (questions) for the exam component of the MRFC Proposed Designation.
The subject matter was determined through a survey that many of our members responded to earlier in the year. The results of this in-depth questionnaire determined a percentage blueprint of subject matter domains and their weight of exam questions. The final tally ended with 13 topics: Client Engagement Process, Retirement Planning, Insurance Planning, Education Planning, Estate Planning, Professional Conduct, Plan Development, Data Gathering, Ongoing Monitoring, Tax Planning, Investment Planning, Regulations and Compliance, and Practice Management.
The SMEs are targeting a bank of 300 items from which a test of 150 items (3 hours in length) will be compiled. By passing the exam and meeting the rest of the MRFC criteria, the consumer can be assured that their Financial Advisor has met a professional standard certified by a National Accreditation Body.
Once this exam item writing task has been completed, we will be sending out information on how you can take the exam.
Stay tuned for more news on this exciting process for the IARFC!
Want to Attract the Next Generation of Clients? You may need to change your approach.
By Jamie Bosse, CFP® RFC®
Close your eyes and picture this: A financial planning or investment management firm in 1982. What do you see? Big, thick mahogany desks, classic artwork in gold-plated frames, gigantic file rooms full of tons (literally, tons) of paper, and perhaps some classy statues resting on doilies on every end table.
News Flash – if your office still looks like this, you may not be prepared to embrace the next generation of clients. The people who were born in 1982 are now in their 30's, educated, and potentially on the fast track to becoming what you might call the "emerging affluent" and they are not impressed by a posh, stuffy office.
These 30-Somethings want to see modern conference rooms equipped with Wi-Fi ,video conference abilities, and a big screen that they can use to pull up information on – that is… if they want to see your office at all. They may prefer to correspond via email, video conference, Skype, or webinars. The tail end of Gen X and elder statesman of Gen Y tend to be impressed by a firm that promotes flexibility and work life balance. They want to work with advisors that are progressive, treat their employees like family, and have a life outside of the office.
For tips to help you attract your future client base be sure to check out her entire article in the July issue of the Register.

She strives to help clients live the life they want by helping them identify their goals, create a plan, and take action.

RFC Plan Competition Judge Encouraged by Student Presentations
Professionals who love what they do for a living feel fortunate and look for a way to pay it forward – especially to the kids today.
For that reason, RFC Ed Skelly of Sterling Financial Partners in Ashburn, Virginia decided to travel to Las Vegas and judge the Finals of the IARFC National Plan Competition held on May 1.
As a Diamond Sponsor, Ed is encouraged by what the kids are learning in school.
"Today the presentations by the three teams were absolutely phenomenal," commented Skelly. "I think the nine students who presented did a wonderful job.
The Final Results:
- First place – Bryant University
Smithfield RI, team members Kyle Creedon, Lauren Fayne, Jamie Pepin and their instructor Mara Derderian - Second Place – Shepherd University
Shepherdstown WV, team members Bonnie Baily, Akhtar Khan, Avery Mendzela and their Professor Nicolas Pologeorgis - Third Place – Bowling Green University
Bowling Green OH, team members Dana Kaufman, Elizabeth Kevorkian, Becca Smoody and their professor Matthew Garrow
The IARFC congratulates all the students and their professors on the hard work and time needed to advance to the Finals and to the Bryant University team for winning first place.
"Without question having the ability to participate and placing in the top three spots in a national competition is something to be proud of," continues Skelly. "They will be a very good presence in the industry in the future."

Officials eye higher fines, lower fines for not shoveling snow
The cost to property owners of not removing snow from sidewalks would go up under a bill before the City Council — and down, but only for some people, under a separate proposal.
Councilman David Greenfield (D-Brooklyn) would raise the cost of not shoveling from its base of $100 to $250 or more, depending on the size of the property. His legislation would have city workers clear an unshoveled sidewalk and bill the offender, rather than just issue a ticket and leave the snow there. The increased revenue Greenfield expects to bring in would pay for hiring more temporary workers to clear public areas such as street corners.
The councilman said many neglected sidewalks are in front of abandoned or stalled construction sites, vacant houses and empty storefronts, and the resulting fines often go unpaid.
Public Advocate Tish James, on the other hand, would cut the fine by 50 percent for elderly and disabled property owners. James is not proposing legislation to reduce the penalties but is calling on the administration to just do it.
But she is also introducing a bill to employ both more paid snow removal workers and volunteers. One element would see the Department of Sanitation establish a program by which nonprofit groups would help remove snow in front of places where seniors and the disabled live. Cleared paths would have to be at least 40 inches wide to accommodate wheelchairs.
Easier to pay water bill
A new online option called DEP QuickPay, designed to make it easier to pay water bills, has been set up by the Department of Environmental Conservation. It is reached via nyc.gov/dep and can be used with smartphones and tablets as well as standard computers.
More cop radar guns
The Police Department will soon be using nearly five times as many radar guns to write speeding tickets than it does now, adding 200 to its inventory of 56, according to testimony given at a City Council hearing held Monday. Chief Thomas Chan, head of the NYPD's Transportation Bureau, told lawmakers that traffic enforcement will be made a part of patrol officers' daily tasks, media reports said.
The increased emphasis on speeding tickets is part of Mayor de Blasio's "Vision Zero" plan, under which City Hall hopes to eliminate pedestrian deaths caused by motor vehicles.
At least one Queens lawmaker was skeptical about the NYPD's plan, however. The New York Post quoted Councilman Mark Weprin (D-Oakland Gardens) as saying, "Let's be honest: Recruits don't sign up for the Police Academy in their minds to write speeding tickets."
Trial set for cohort of Queens 'Cannibal Cop'
The case against two men accused along with former NYPD Officer Gilberto Valle of planning to kidnap, rape, torture, kill and eat women has begun.
Jury selection started Monday in the federal trial of Michael Vanhise, 23, of Trenton, NJ, and Robert Christopher Asch, 61, of Manhattan, published reports say.
Valle, 29, of Forest Hills, was convicted in March 2013 on all charges but has yet to be sentenced. He faces possible life in prison.
The men allegedly discussed their plans online but never carried them out, though Valle used an NYPD database to get information on potential victims. The defendants' lawyers say the online conversations were sexual fantasies their clients never intended to act upon.
Data on Airbnb rentals
A new study of Airbnb, the website where people rent out rooms for short stays, angering some neighbors, officials and civic leaders who say they're running illegal hotels and not paying taxes, was recently released.
The analysis found that 88 percent of people posting on the site only have one space available, backing Airbnb's claim that most of its users rent out rooms in their own homes. But 30 percent of the total spaces available are offered by those with multiple postings, supporting the critics' claims. The study, which includes much more data, is posted at skift.com/tag/airbnb.

I've been spending too much time away from civilization. I noticed yesterday I have aphids, which is not a huge deal. I sprayed the plants with veg oil/water/dish soap as well as crushing as many as I could find. But I swear they are insulting me! See this picture and the next one. |

HAHAHAHAHA. Very funny. Not the aphids, the picture you created. Sorry to hear you had to deal with them at all! |
Are you sure that damage wasn't caused by the oil and sunny hot days? Blasts of water every 3-4 days will get most aphid infestations. The remainder, just clean up with a couple soap treatments, no oil. Oil will kill your beneficial insects also. Awesome graphics animation...LOL Kevin |
IMO, the damage is caused by what you sprayed. BTW, I did not see any aphids or nymphs. |
The picture was taken prior to spraying the plant with anything, ever (even water). I'm sure they were aphid nymphs, I've been down that road a few times. I just sprayed the underside of the leaves where they had been laying eggs. The spay was extremely diluted, just enough to get them to slip off. As of this morning, they haven't returned, perhaps they've retreated to plan their next assault. (Sorry the picture is a bit fuzzy, the bottom left is clear). |
Those are aphids...LOL Just find it hard to believe the lesions were from aphids. Maybe a bit of sunburned damaged cells or fertilizer burn? Anyhow, glad you got your aphids taken care of. Kevin |
So the aphids were cleared away for about 10 days, then yesterday I noticed one plant SWARMING with black ants, and sure enough the aphids came back with a vengeance. Strangely, only one plant out of 18 in buckets in the same area was affected. And it was not the original plant from the earlier post - that plant is clean now. I saw this godawful thing on top. What the hell is it? The mothership? Sorry the pic sucks. |

I agree with woohooman, looks like sunburn to me. aphis suck!! i'll tell you what I use. look up acclaim, it is an anti-bacterial soap that Cintas supplys us with at work, it drys the hell out of your hands. its terrible on your skin, so I decided to try that instead of dish soap.. and it just nukes them. they don't even know what hit them, half the time they don't even fall of just dry right where they are on the plant. I would be careful about the strength, I just put a few drops so I get very few suds when shaken. John |
Well, I isolated the one plant that was infested, everything was cool, and then they came back in force. This weekend I noticed they are EVERYWHERE. I was doing some crosses and they are packed into the flowers even! I was religiously spraying bunches of them off with a mix of water and cayenne powder. I admit defeat, I will have to look up this acclaim stuff. |

Review from Jessie: The Memoirs of Cleopatra by Margaret George
Though not Margaret George's most recent novel, The Memoirs of Cleopatra may be her most ambitious and certainly one of her easiest to read. In George's characteristically elegant prose, the enigmatic last queen of Egypt narrates her own life story, from her tumultuous childhood to her famous suicide by asp, as well as all the political betrayals and high-status love affairs (Cleopatra was involved with both Julius Caesar and Mark Antony) in between. You may already know much of Cleopatra's story, but George offers a worthwhile new perspective to lose yourself in. Don't be put off by the length; even after 950 pages, you'll be sorry to leave Cleopatra behind. Be sure to explore her four other fictional biographies, including Helen of Troy and The Autobiography of Henry VII.

Are you an entrepreneur, a manager or a technician? Do you look at life in terms of what you do or why you do it? When you read the news, do you shake your head in frustration at the problems you read about or do you make a list of business opportunities those problems offer? Do you plan things over and over as a form of procrastination or do you get excited at the adventure of creating something from just an idea and a series of calculated risks?

The Audi RS6 was desirable because of its all-weather traction and almost irrational sensation of very high speed. The Mercedes E55 AMG has turbine-like grunt and soulless controls. The new M5, in contrast, is intuitive and involves the driver every step of the way. It is as stable as its rivals in a straight line, but its steering is lively and soulful. It is as fast through corners, but its handling is sublime and unambiguous. It is as strong on the brake and as energetic on the throttle, but it never forgets to generate feel and feedback. We said the same about the old M5, but this one has more raw speed and power and an even better-balanced chassis. The ride is more composed, with less body roll and understeer. It is more fluent, and there is a greater immediacy between input and reaction.
The M5 could spell bad news for your driving license, but it's guaranteed to brighten up the dullest day. Just about the only car that can rival it in terms of speed from A to B, smiles per miles, and everyday usability is the latest 911 Carrera S. The Porsche costs roughly the same money, and it may rank even higher in street cred, but the BMW offers five seats, a family-size trunk, and a less challenging attitude when pushed. This car is a sensible antidepressant, and it doesn't even require a prescription-just a healthy bank balance.

Creating True Financial Freedom Day 2
Creating True Financial Freedom Day 2 – Debt Elimination Software
I hope you have taken advantage of the tool that shows you how to save an average of $1,900 a month or $22,800 a year!
If you did not see the video for this tool, go to Business Savings Taxbot Tool and watch the short intro video.
Today you are going to Discover How to automate your budget and automate your spending so you can save hundreds,  and even thousands, every single month and pay off your debt much faster with this awesome debt elimination software!
I talk to people all the time about how to pay off debt and they all say they can "barely make their minimum monthly payments now" and that they "just don't have any extra money to put towards paying off their debt."
My number one answer to creating extra income, WITHOUT having to get a second or third job, is to start saving the money you are already making.
I simply start asking them if they even know where their money is going every month that is causing them to live paycheck to paycheck.
So, a few common questions I ask people who don't understand why they run out of money before the end of the month:
1) How often do you eat out?
2) how much does it cost every time you eat out?
3) What is the total of all the times you eat out every month?
The average person I speak with spends anywhere from $300 to over $1,000 a month eating out! OUCH!!
The next questions I ask:
4) What else do you like to do besides eat out?
5) How often do you [do whatever they answered in question #4]?
6) How much does it cost to [do whatever they answered in question #4]?
There are many things that people LIKE to do for entertainment, that if they just cut back one or two times a month, they could easily find an extra $100 a month to put towards paying off the dreaded debt that is costing them way too much money every month in interest payments.
Another example:
How about a truck driver who spent over $100 a month in junk foods just by having a habit of purchasing a soft drink and snack at every gas station he stopped
at throughout the month on his truck route.
There are so many stories of  how people spend hundreds of dollars every month and they don't even realize where the money is going.
Well, now can you determine:
– what your monthly spending habits are…
– why you are running out of money before the end of the month…
– how to immediately turn this financial stress into fun as you SEE EXACTLY how you can pay off your debt smarter, instead of working harder, which will save you hundreds of dollars a month, and thousands of dollars a year, in interest payments.
Automate your debt reduction with this Debt Reduction Software…
You can use one VERY simple tool to see EXACTLY where your money is going, how you can save hundreds a month, how you can use that new saved money to pay off your debt a lot faster, and do ALL this automated!!
I used a tool, about 4 years ago, that TRIED to do what this tool actually does BUT it killed me because it was too complicated!
This tool is so easy that a 14 year old can see how it works! LOL!
So …
Watch this short video to SEE how this tool can help you determine exactly where your are spending your hard earned income and show you EXACTLY how to save you YEARS and TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars in interest payments, by paying off your debt MUCH SMARTER, NOT HARDER!
Timothy Langen
P.S. Tomorrow you are going todiscover how to save up to
22% off your monthly cell-phone bill WITHOUT changing YOUR current service or plan!!

text: Well I was going to go on a date this weekend but Im having doubts. I dont know exactly what Im feeling like Im just scared. Scared of rejection. Im not sure if I should go. I have absoulety no confidence. I wasnt always like this just when my weight started to bother me. I was stuck at 208 for years and I didnt care that much. I had all the confidence in the world. I would walk in a place and I would have made sure I was the one shinning. Now thats gone. AS much as I really want to go out with a decent guy, which this one is. Im just scared and nervous. What do I do??????????

I put in about 100+ cabbage plants but then had a family tragedy and didn't get them covered so they got eaten to nothing by cabbage moths. They are so far gone that I am going to have to pull them. I am in SC Kansas when is it to late to plant for fall? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not a matter of too late so much as too early, as in now is too early. In general, planting is mid-July to mid August. But exactly when has lots of variables to consider. What is the DTM of the variety you are using? When is your first frost date? Will you be planting transplants again or direct seeding as they have very different planting times. Dave |

Just wanted to give my sympathies for your family tragedy. |
I'm in 6b with a first frost date around Oct 10-15. My best seed-starting date for fall cabbage and broccoli is July 10, using fast-maturing varieties. I grow the seedlings on a patio table with an umbrella where they get full morning sun and afternoon shade. They need grasshopper protection from day one in the garden from tulle or feather weight row covers, but the results are worth it. |
planatus, I'm in the same boat as you. May I ask all your fall planting dates? I want to plant Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Peas, and maybe Cabbage, Chard, Spinach and Lettuce. My Spring beets are producing poorly and I don't think I want another go at them this year. July 10th sounds a little early no, won't Broc survive a few mild frosts too? We had a wild Spring as always with major temp swings and I started late, and my Spring harvest wasn't great. And sympathies to tobemeghan for the family tragedy. |
My fall planting dates based on 6 years of records are.... Brussels sprouts - June 5 Cabbage and broccoli - July 1-10 Kohlrabi, rutabaga, bulb fennel, carrots - July 10-20 Chard, collards and kale - July 20-30 Lettuce, mustards, turnips, spinach - Aug 1-30 Light frosts improve the flavor and texture of most of these crops, so these dates lead to harvesting from late Sept to early November. In early November hard freezes, cold winds and crazed deer close down the party except for Brussels sprouts, which I keep covered with row cover and keep harvesting into early December. |
Planatus... just wondering what variety of cabbage and broccoli you plant? thanks, Tom |
And Brussels Sprouts? I have seeds for a supposed 60 day variety. Thanks! |

Planatus......which of those do you direct sow and which do you start inside? |
It takes me more than a year, usually two, to use up a packet of broccoli or cabbage seeds, so I can only try so many updated varieties. Gypsy broccoli is fast and makes big heads. I think I like it better than Diplomat, the packet I'm working through now, which is also the variety many local organic growers are using. I've done well with small, fast cabbages like Pixie, Gonzales, Caraflex (pointed) and Alcosa (savoy). No favorites on B sprouts. The top hybrids haven't been very impressive, so I'm trying OP Catskill this year and planning to fertilize the heck out of it. B sprouts grow into huge 3-foot plants, and I don't see how they can do that in 60 days. When days are getting shorter in fall, you should add 21 days to the estimated maturity time for veg varieties except leafy greens anyway. Sunshine, I direct seed the rutabagas, carrots and leafy greens, and start all the others in containers. To get the seeds up in hot summer soil, I often cover straight rows with boards held aloft with bricks. With broadcast beds I cover wire hoops with an old sheet, secured with clothespins, to gentle down the sun. In dry years I've looped soaker hoses into squiggles and circles and planted direct-seeded crops in the drip line. |

The only true J-Crew brand shoes I have are a pair of dirty bucks. I've only worn them one summer so far, so I can't really comment on their durability. They are GYW though.
Have you considered putting a little extra money towards a pair of Aldens?

MUMBAI: A sea of Krishna devotees gathered to join the annual Jagannath rath yatra organized by Iskcon at the chowpatty in Shivaji Park on Saturday. An estimated two lakh devotees had attended the previous year, and this season's headcount is expected to surpass that figure. Representatives of the order say that a fair number of non-Hindus also attended.
The widely known chariot festival or rath yatra of Puri that is replicated in Mumbai serves as an opportunity for devotees who cannot visit the temple town of Orissa.
The highlight of Saturday's procession was a 25-ft tall chariot that bore the idols of Lord Krishna, Balram and Subhadra. Preparations to build and decorate it had been under way since a month.
Iskcon Chowpatty's youth group has been holding this event for the past six years, and each time, young professionals as well as students who are members take a month off from work to serve the Lord.
On Saturday, the grand prayer or 'maha aarti' launched the event around 2pm. After this, the procession began from Shivaji Park and wound its way to Sena Bhavan and Portuguese Church before returning to Shivaji Park shortly after 5pm.
Local residents of Dadar and Shivaji Park routinely accompany the deities for short distances but there are also those who arrive from the suburbs. "We are able to gauge the number of visitors from the plates of prasad we distribute," said Iskcon spokesperson Lucky Kulkarni. A lavish 'chhappan bhog' comprising 56 dishes was offered to the Lord at 7.00 pm before being distributed to the assembly.
The evening schedule began with a lecture by Radhanath Swami Maharaj of Iskcon Chowpatty followed by a laser show. Children are an integral part of ISKCON so a fun fair was especially devised for them. In another section of the maidan, the organization held an exhibition of the various welfare projects it has undertaken, including an eco-farm.
ISKCON has four branches across Mumbai and individual centres organise their own rath yatra to serve their constituency. The Ghatkopar temple will host its chariot festival on January 14.

Penn State QB Ferguson Will Transfer
Penn State quarterback Tyler Ferguson has been granted his release from the Nittany Lion football team, a team spokesman confirmed to 6 Sports on Wednesday.
Ferguson enrolled at Penn State in January from junior college in California. He overtook Steven Bench during spring practice as the team's No. 1 QB going into training camp in August.
Both Ferguson and true freshman Christian Hackenberg saw playing time in Penn State's season opener against Syracuse. After Ferguson fumbled on his first series, Hackenberg played the rest of the game and took control of the starting job.
Ferguson saw action in five games this season, going 10-of-15 for 155 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions.

text: Alright, so this one might be a bit more a matter of personal opinion, but I'd still like to hear from someone concerning this. Basically, I was given some money from my mom so I could buy myself this coat I wanted from Kohls for Christmas (it was my gift). I had to go to two different Kohls, both on opposite ends of town, before I even found the coat. Now, here's the catch: There was only one of this particular coat in stock, 60% off regular price, & sadly, it was a size small. I was figuring I'd be at least a large, but upon trying on other coat's of that brand, found that I fit well in a medium. So, not a huge dilemma right? I try the jacket on, hesitantly, & find out it actually fits pretty perfect-- right up until I try & zip the thing. So, I'm too big to actually zip it up, but it looks beautiful on me. I never really zip my jackets up anyways, as I don't like the feel of it. My GF basically helped me convince myself that it would actually be a good incentive for losing weight. Wearing the coat would be a constant physical reminder of a goal I set out to accomplish, & hopefully push me enough to achieve it. So, I bought the coat, much to my angry mothers disapproval. She believes I've made a foolish choice, buying a coat I can't even zip up (not that I would if I could zip it). Anyone else believe that this was just a very foolish decision? Or is it an appropriate mini-goal to work towards zipping up my awesome new coat? I say that if it can serve my purpose of warmth & also motivate me to lose weight, it was well worth the investment. Comments, opinions? Please let me know.

TAMPA, Fla. — Mitt Romney's Republican National Convention sputters to life Monday with the lonely banging of a gavel in a mostly empty hall, then hits full speed on Tuesday, just as forecasters say Tropical Storm Isaac could reach hurricane strength and make landfall somewhere along a stretch from New Orleans to the Florida Panhandle.
"We've got a great convention ahead," Romney said from New Hampshire as he headed into a high school auditorium Monday morning to rehearse his convention speech, suggesting that there were no thoughts of canceling the gathering. He said he hopes those in the storm's path are "spared any major destruction."
Party Chairman Reince Preibus, for his part, insisted the GOP can "have a great week" despite the storm bearing down on the Gulf Coast.
But Sally Bradshaw, a Florida Republican and longtime senior aide to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, was not so sanguine. "It's a mess all around and it's fraught with risk," she said. "It's not good for anybody — particularly the people impacted by the storm."
It was hardly the opening splash that convention planners had hoped for, and risked the juxtaposition of Republicans partying as the storm heads toward the gulf — almost exactly seven years after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans.
"Obviously we want to pray for anyone that's in the pathway of this storm," Priebus said Monday on NBC's "Today" show, "but the message is still the same: that all Americans deserve a better future and that this president ... didn't keep the promises he made in 2008."
The party hastily rewrote the convention script to present the extravaganza's prime rituals and headline speakers later in the week, and further changes were possible. Convention planners said Monday's speakers would be worked into the schedule later in the week.
It was a complication, at best, for a party determined to cast the close election as a referendum on President Barack Obama's economic stewardship and Romney as the best hope for jobs and prosperity.
The concern was two-fold: that Tampa, hosting thousands of GOP delegates, would get sideswiped by the storm; and that it would be unseemly to engage in days of political celebration if Isaac made a destructive landfall anywhere on U.S. soil.
"You can tone down the happy-days-are-here-again a bit," said Rich Galen, a veteran Republican consultant in Washington. "Maybe you don't have the biggest balloon drop in history."
Republicans hoped another distracting tempest would blow over, too, concerning abortion. The Obama campaign and its allies have doubled down in efforts to exploit remarks more than a week ago by Rep. Todd Akin, the GOP's candidate for a Senate seat from Missouri, that a woman's body has a way of preventing pregnancy in the case of a "legitimate rape." The claim is unsupported by medical evidence. The congressman quickly apologized but resisted Romney's pressure to drop out of the race.
Romney, in a Fox interview, said in comments broadcast Sunday that the fallout over Akin's remarks "hurts our party and I think is damaging to women," adding: "It really is sad, isn't it? With all the issues that America faces, for the Obama campaign to continue to stoop to such a low level."
In the reworked convention schedule released early Sunday evening, organizers planned a pro forma opening Monday afternoon, lasting no more than five minutes or so. Priebus was to gavel the convention to order, then immediately recess. Few delegates were expected to attend. In the only bit of convention-hall theater, a debt clock was to be set in motion, to tally the nation's red ink during the convention.
Speakers who had been scheduled for Monday were to start making the case against Obama, under the day's theme, "we can do better." That theme now will be threaded through the following three days, said Romney adviser Russ Schriefer, in charge of the convention's planning. "Even though the days will be abbreviated, I absolutely believe we'll be able to get our message out," he said.

Blackburn Hamlet
This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2014) |
Blackburn Hamlet | |
Community | |
Blackburn Hamlet within the City of Ottawa |
Country | Canada |
Province | Ontario |
City | Ottawa |
Population (2011) | 8,237 |
Blackburn Hamlet is a suburban community in Innes Ward, in the east end of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Before the 2001 amalgamation of the city of Ottawa, it was in the city of Gloucester. It is surrounded by rural areas and contains several older and newer areas of settlement. According to the Canada 2011 Census, its population was 8,237.[1]
Often referred to by the locals as simply "Blackburn," it is one of only two suburban areas (the other being Bells Corners) surrounded by National Capital Commission (NCC) Greenbelt lands as well as Canadian Federal Conservation Authority lands and Lands owned by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) which were formerly the National Defence Proving Grounds.[citation needed] Together, these lands form part of Ottawa's "Greenbelt" and provide Blackburn Hamlet residents and visitors with over 250 km of hiking and cross country skiing trails.
These areas additionally house one of the region's most sought after toboggan hills at Green's Creek, a series of outdoor soccer fields, known collectively as the Hornet's Nest, which host international soccer tournaments and a cooperative garden maintained by residents for over 25 years.[citation needed] The Hornet's Nest includes an air-supported indoor recreation dome, called the SuperDome. The SuperDome is set in the middle of the beautiful fields and woods of the Hornet's Nest. A private, for-profit business, the SuperDome was constructed in cooperation with the city of Ottawa. Blackburn Hamlet's French public high school, Louis Riel, is home to North America's largest air-supported fabric structure indoor recreation facility, at 12,422 square meters (133,705 square feet). Louis Riel's more discreetly located facility was planned and initiated before the SuperDome.
Blackburn is closer to downtown Ottawa than almost all the "new" suburbs (only a 10-minute drive), yet offers an old-fashioned country village feeling rarely found in neighbourhoods today. Connected end to end via a series of treed parks and bike paths, Blackburn is pedestrian friendly. Blackburn offers all modern amenities within no more than a 10-minute walk from most homes. Those include: grocery store, medical, dental & legal practices, 3 drug stores, several pubs and restaurants, 2 banks, service stations, convenience stores, pizza delivery, dry cleaners, pawn shop, seniors residences, public, Catholic and French schools, private schools and day-cares, many baseball diamonds, soccer fields, indoor arena and several outdoor rinks, large community centre, public library, outdoor pool, tennis courts, 11 children's play parks, and access to the Ottawa Regional bike paths. There is a host of activities and amateur intramural sports available as well.[2]
Blackburn is represented at city council but there is active community volunteer involvement as well through the Blackburn Community Association (BCA).[citation needed] Many activities, clubs, events and committees are run through the BCA.
Blackburn Hamlet took its name from Robert Blackburn, former Member of Parliament for Russell.[citation needed]
The earliest settlers to the area arrived between 1803 and 1811, most of whom were of English or Irish descent, along with a few French and Scottish.[citation needed]
In the early 19th century, the area was called "Green's Creek" after Robert Green who operated a sawmill on the creek.[citation needed] As the timber was exhausted the government lands were sold to farmers who began to settle in the area. These people had to clear their own land and build their own roads and schools. The area was subsequently called "Daggsville" after three families that settled here in the 1850s. Richard Dagg donated the land for the first school in Blackburn.
John Kemp and his family were one of the early settlers and four generations farmed the homestead.[citation needed] When the first school burned down, a second school was built on the Kemp property where Blackburn Public School was located. Agnes Purdy and her husband William settled on Lot 9 across from St Mary the Virgin Anglican Church on Navan Road. Four generations of Purdys farmed the land until the NCC expropriated the farm for the Greenbelt. Agnes was significant as a major fundraiser for the church and as school board secretary for 20 years.
Innes Road running through the Hamlet was named after Alexander Innes who owned a farm further west than Blackburn Hamlet.[citation needed] He also ran the toll road -Russell Rd. heading east from St. Laurent Blvd. He was survived by John Innes who was reeve of Gloucester Township. Isaiah Scharfe settled on a lot near Emily Carr School, four generations lived in Blackburn on what is now Innes Road. Some of the hamlet streets are named after these, and other early settlers, Kemp, Cleroux, Tauvette.
In 1858, Joshua Bradley settled in Blackburn.[citation needed] It was through the efforts of his son William Bradley and Robert Blackburn, (Reeve in 1864, then MP) that a post office was secured and it was then that the area became known as "Blackburn". The settlement during these times was divided in two, the area of "Blackburn Corners", located around the existing intersection of Navan and Innes Rds; and "Blackburn Station", the area around the existing intersection of Anderson and Innes Rds.[2]
In 1958, the government gave authority to the NCC to establish a Greenbelt.[citation needed] Michael Budd and Costain Estates Ltd, were key players in the creation of the community as it is today, and it was renamed "Blackburn Hamlet". In 1967 the first residents moved in. Budd Gardens is operated by Budd's two sons on land now rented from the NCC and both families live in Blackburn.
Bob MacQuarrie was a Gloucester Councillor from 1958 to 1966 and was instrumental in providing to the Council and the NCC the feasibility of installing services to the Hamlet.[citation needed] MacQuarrie served as Deputy Reeve and Reeve 1969 to 1978 and as MPP 1981–85.
Most of the homes were built in the 1960s and 1970s.[citation needed]

According to a new study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association –Internal Medicine (JAMA Internal Medicine) oxygen therapy administered in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber is not any more effective than compressed air for the treatment of those suffering from post-concussive traumatic brain injury.
The research involved 72 service members with chronic post-concussive symptoms. The researchers found that the service members who received high pressure oxygen therapy did not better than patients who were treated with only slightly pressured regular air leading the physicians to conclude that there was only a placebo effect for the use of oxygen therapy in both groups.
The research is the latest in a series of studies sponsored by the Defense Department to determine the effect of oxygen therapy following a traumatic brain injury.

Jim McMahon and Jeremy Roenick Launch Players Against Concussions (PAC) Foundation To Support Concussion Awareness and Prevention—Kickoff event scheduled for Monday, October 6th in Westchester, New York
Players Against Concussions (PAC) is a new nonprofit organization founded by Super Bowl-winning quarterback Jim McMahon and NHL All-Star Jeremy Roenick with the goal of preserving sports while making them safer
The PAC mission begins on Monday, October 6th, when celebrities and professional athletes from across the country converge on the Pelham Country Club in Westchester, New York to participate in the First Annual Players Against Concussions Golf Outing.
A morning brunch and press conference is scheduled from from 10am – Noon, followed by an afternoon round of golf, and will conclude with a cocktail hour and dinner beginning at 5pm.
"This is a deeply personal issue for me as both a player and a parent," said McMahon. "I loved every minute of the football I played as a kid and during my professional career, but I've also felt the effects of the concussions I suffered on the field. I've seen the lasting effects on teammates and friends, and now I see the statistics that point toward an epidemic of concussions among young athletes. The idea that kids are sustaining head injuries that have the potential to cause permanent, lifelong damage is just unacceptable. We know many of these injuries are preventable, and in terms of protection, we know we can do better through research and innovation. The goal of PAC is to keep athletes of all ages playing the sports they love, but without having to risk the lifelong, debilitating effects of head injuries."
For more information on PAC, or to request RSVP for the October 6th Players Against Concussions Golf Outing, please contact Mark Ballard or Sabrina Levine at 212-680-0179 or email

How concussions are impacting our children-from the playing field to the classroom
The Minnesota Department of Health released a report on how concussions are impacting high-school athletes.
The report is based on data the Minnesota Department of Health collected from 36 Twin Cities-area schools during the last academic year. It estimates 3,000 high school athletes were concussed statewide last year.
That's 22 athletes suffering a concussion for every high school in Minnesota last year.
According to published reports, "Health Commissioner Ed Ehlinger says the research should be a signal to coaches and parents that concussions need to be taken seriously."
"And we need a commitment from everyone on the team to make sure our athletes can compete safely, and when concussion does occur, we need to make sure the student athletes have the support of parents, teachers, coaches, and school nurses and clinicians in the community," he says.
According to the report, hockey and football players have the highest concussion rates
The study results are published in the September issue of Minnesota Medicine.

FDA Warning: No dietary supplements approved to treat concussions or other brain injury.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning that there are no approved dietary supplements to treat a concussions or other types of brain injury.
Can a Dietary Supplement Treat a Concussion? No!
The concussion supplement warning published by the FDA is published in full below:
Exploiting the public's rising concern about concussions, some companies are offering untested, unproven and possibly dangerous products that claim to prevent, treat or cure concussions and other traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is monitoring the marketplace and taking enforcement actions where appropriate, issuing warning letters to firms—the usual first step for dealing with claims that products labeled as dietary supplements are intended for use in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. The agency is also warning consumers to avoid purported dietary supplements marketed with claims to prevent, treat, or cure concussions and other TBIs because the claims are not backed with scientific evidence that the products are safe or effective for such purposes. These products are sold on the Internet and at various retail outlets, and marketed to consumers using social media, including Facebook and Twitter.
One common but misleading claim: Using a particular dietary supplement promotes faster healing after a concussion or other TBI.
Even if a particular supplement contains no harmful ingredients, that claim alone can be dangerous, says Gary Coody, FDA's National Health Fraud Coordinator.
"We're very concerned that false assurances of faster recovery will convince athletes of all ages, coaches and even parents that someone suffering from a concussion is ready to resume activities before they are really ready," says Coody. "Also, watch for claims that these products can prevent or lessen the severity of concussions or TBIs."
A concussion is a brain injury caused by a blow to the head, or by a violent shaking of the head and upper body. Concussions and other TBIs are serious medical conditions that require proper diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring by a health care professional. The long-term impact of concussions on professional athletes and children who play contact sports has recently been the subject of highly publicized discussions.
A growing body of scientific evidence indicates that if concussion victims resume strenuous activities—such as football, soccer or hockey—too soon, they risk a greater chance of having a subsequent concussion. Moreover, repeat concussions can have a cumulative effect on the brain, with devastating consequences that can include brain swelling, permanent brain damage, long-term disability and death.
"There is simply no scientific evidence to support the use of any dietary supplement for the prevention of concussions or the reduction of post-concussion symptoms that would allow athletes to return to play sooner," said Charlotte Christin, acting director of FDA's Division of Dietary Supplement Programs.

The location of impact is not predictive of concussion outcome in football collisions
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that annually, up to 3.8 million sport-related concussions occur in the United States.1 For adolescents and young adults, sports, such as football, account for a substantial proportion of these concussions.
There has been little research assessing the role of impact location on concussion outcome. A recent study published online, August 14, 2014 in the Journal Pediatrics, Impact Locations and Concussion Outcomes in High School Football Player-to-Player Collisions, attempts to answer this question.
The study concluded that, "among high school football players who sustained concussions due to player-to-player collisions, concussion outcomes were generally independent of impact location."

Post Concussion Sleep Issues-Department of Defense Issues New Recommendations
New recommendations from the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) advise that all patients with concussion symptoms should be screened for the presence of a sleep disorder and patients. Additionally, patients should be asked if they are experiencing frequent difficulty in falling or saying asleep, excessive daytime sleepiness or usual events during sleep.
These new recommendations were released this month by DOD along with support tools to assist in the identification and treatment of sleep disturbance in persons following mild traumatic brain injury, also known as a concussion.
Sleep disorders are a frequent symptom following a concussion and must be identified and treated as soon as possible. According to many medical experts, a good sleep cycle is critical to the brain's ability to heal and recover following a concussion.
The new Management of Sleep Disturbances following Acute Concussion/Mild TBI Recommendations suite is composed of clinical recommendations, a clinical support tool, a provider education slide deck and a patient education fact sheet. More information can be obtained by clicking here.

Lead Off Speaker at American Association for Justice-Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Group
On Sunday, July 27th, I will be the lead off speakier at the annual conference of the American Association for Justice, Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Group's annual program to be held this year in Baltimore, Maryland.
My topic this year is entitled, From Concussion to the Classroom and Playing Field. I will explore the many legal issues in recently enacted concussion management legislation, public health issues and additional steps that must be taken to protect our nation's youth from the epidemic of traumatic brain injury in all sports.
Recent evidence points to over 250 million of our nation's youth sustain some type of a traumatic brain injury each year while participating in athletic competition all athletic training. Brain injury in sports is a public health crisis that must be approached from many different areas including education, prevention, return to play guidelines and legal liability when a preventable brain injury takes place.
The legal conference is a part of the four day conference sponsored each year by the nation's largest trial lawyer association, the American Association for Justice. The conference each year is attended by over 2,000 attorneys from across the nation. The conference provides educational skills to attorneys on how to more effectively represent their clients following a personal injury.
The traumatic brain injury litigation group is comprised of attorneys who have a special interest in the area of traumatic brain injury litigation. I have been honored to have been a chair of this group and continue to serve on the group's executive board.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have said very few things about their future wedding. Kanye announced that "fighter jets" would be involved and that it's happening next summer. But the tabloid world has been sharing all sorts of rumors about the wedding and they are RIDICULOUS.
Here's the highlight reel.
-"[Kanye's] making a public statement that his wedding tops all weddings throughout history."
-"Kanye wants Victoria Beckham to do bridesmaids dresses for [Kim's] sisters."
-The color scheme is reportedly "black, diamond, and gold."
-Kanye wants to hire dog trainer Cynthia Enuton to train 12 Pekingese dogs to escort him down the aisle.
-He wants Jay Z, Beyoncé and Alicia Keys to act as wedding singers for the evening.
-And here's a bonus quote: Kim reportedly never wanted to date Kanye in the first place. She used to tell friends he was "gross." "She was never attracted to him. When his name came up [in the past], she would always say, 'No way! He's not good-looking enough!"

Three Roods Farm
Great High School Experience
By: Daniel Brickley (Nov 17, 2008)
I was in high school when my family was a member of this farm, and 3RF really inspired me. Working on the farm with my family was peaceful and relaxing, not boring like I thought it might be at first. Also, Robin and Greg were always so nice and helpful. Greg always took the time to explain why were were doing what we were doing. This grabbed my attention so much that I decided to take AP Environmental Science in my senior year of high school. When I convinced my teacher to take us on a field trip to the farm, Robin and Greg were again generous, with both time and knowledge.
I am now an environmental studies and biology major at my university, and I was able to go on a research trip to Mongolia with the biology department. Having experience at the farm was a big reason for my major and my acceptance to the Mongolia program. I am also planning to work on an organic farm through the WWOOF network while I am studying abroad in Germany. When I go home for the summer, my family now attends a different farm, and I really miss the time we spent at 3RF.

Proteas bowlers toil in Colombo
Comment on this storyCOLOMBO - Sri Lanka reached 395 for six at lunch on the second day, as they continued to dominate proceedings in the second Test against South Africa at the Sinhalese Sports Club on Friday.
Mahela Jayawardene was the only wicket to fall in the morning session, as he was run out by a direct hit from Alviro Petersen for 165. Debutant Niroshan Dickwella, who grew in confidence after a testing afternoon session on the first day, went onto his maiden Test fifty off 69 balls, as the home side continued to score at a rate over 3.5 runs to the over.
With Dickwella at the crease is Dilruwan Perera, who is on 9 not out.

We had an amazing opportunity to visit John Deere last week and after taking a factory tour of their Horicon plant, we headed over to their Swan road testing facility and proceeded to test over 40 riding mowers, lawn tractors and zero-turns including their latest models that featured four-wheel steering and diesel.
John Deere setup side-by-side comparisons with Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Husqvarna and Simplicity mowers and we'll share more details on the difference between these in a follow up article.
For now please enjoy the above photo gallery.

San Diego's Natural Beauty and City Life Shine
Internationally acclaimed surf and ocean photographer, Aaron Chang travelled the world for Surfing magazine in search of the Endless Summer. After three decades of capturing waves, beach lifestyle and exotic landscapes around the world, Aaron wanted to show the natural beauty in his own backyard, San Diego, through his eyes.
Aaron's most recent book project, "San Diego – Through the Lens of Aaron Chang" portrays the city in an urban, beachy-chic fashion. This 80 page book photo journals the beautiful beaches of Torrey Pines and the buzzing modern city life of downtown San Diego. Aaron's interpretation of the city is a tribute to the sophisticated beauty San Diego has become. Aaron was recently named, "Ambassador of the Arts" by the San Diego Tourism Authority.
"My goal is for people to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us on a daily basis, but gets lost in our busy lives," Aaron explains. A stunning sunset in Cardiff, to a winter swell in Del Mar, to the glamorous roof top views of a city in bloom, these images inspire the viewer to take a break. Look around. Life is good right here in our beautiful city, San Diego.
What People Are Saying:
"We loved this book so much we put it in our guest rooms"
JOHN SCHAFER, AREA VP AND GM OF MANCHESTER GRAND HYATT SAN DIEGO."We love this fresh perspective, we're using Aaron's book to gift to our VIP's"
Joe Terzi, president & CEO of San Diego Tourism Authority"I use this book to give as a closing gift for my clients"
Jeff DeChamplain, Coastal Regional Manager at Windermere Homes & Estates
This book is in its second edition. Added from the original are new San Diego photos with web links to audio and video stories behind some of Aaron's most iconic shots.

I used my Sony Handycam for about 7 years now. I'm very happy with the camcorder. Bright pictures. Easy to use. It's one of those products you enjoy so much such a long time. I come on this site to see whether I should take an update after upgrading my computer to Windows 7. The software closes some time less easy. This is the first small problem and I can still easily work with the camcorder and with the video files in 7 years. Top product!
I won't buy Sony products anymore. We have been through a lot of trouble with Sony products. It is no longer worth the time. Cheap cameras using SD cards are the answer.

I was fortunate enough to find two identical, gold plated plate lockets that are also stickpins. They are in mint condition, and have not been monogrammed. This listing and price is for ONE of them! Should you decide to purchase both, and both are still available, the shipping and insurance would be the same as for just one of them. To me, what makes this piece extra special is the gold tone and faux pearl chain that is connected to the bottom of the locket, and to the cap of the stickpin. The locket, alone, measures 1&1/8 inch tall by 7/8 wide. The overall length is 3&1/4 inches. The pin is perfectly straight, and there is no wear to the gold color finish. Circa 1950. Please note that photos are ENLARGED to show detail!
