July 27 (Bloomberg) -- Wells Fargo & Co., the biggest U.S. home lender, said Avid Modjtabai will lead the bank' new consumer-lending business and that Mike Heid will be sole president of the mortgage unit.
Modjtabai, 49, previously head of the technology and operations group, will oversee the Wells Fargo Consumer Lending division, which will include mortgage, home-equity and student loans, among other businesses, the San Francisco-based company said yesterday in a statement.
Heid, 54, had been co-head of the mortgage business with Cara Heiden, 55, who's retiring, and will report to Modjtabai, the firm said. Kevin Rhein, 57, who led the card and consumer- lending units, will become chief information officer, taking over technology operations from Modjtabai.
"We strengthen our culture and our leadership pipeline when we rotate top talent across lines of business and organizations," Chief Executive Officer John Stumpf, 57, said in the statement. "Consolidating our consumer-lending activities under one organization reflects our focus on putting customers at the center of everything we do."
Wells Fargo is preparing for the retirement of Mark Oman, the executive in charge of mortgage and consumer finance who will step down by year-end. Oman has been at the bank since 1979 and led its rise to become the nation's largest mortgage lender.
The company also in the middle of Project Compass, a plan to cut expenses by $1.5 billion a quarter by the end of next year. Modjtabai and Rhein will continue to report to Stumpf, the company said.
Wells Fargo has declined 6.5 percent this year, closing yesterday at $28.97 on the New York Stock Exchange.
'Generating Efficiencies'
"Efficiencies on the retail side are becoming more and more important," Marty Mosby, an analyst at Guggenheim Securities LLC in Memphis, Tennessee, said yesterday in a telephone interview. In naming Modjtabai, "they're saying we need someone who has a lot of years and a lot of expertise in thinking about how to improve the systems, generating efficiencies and improving service at the same time."
Wells Fargo, the second-largest U.S. mortgage servicer, is among lenders that have signed consent orders with federal regulators designed to improve their foreclosure procedures by hiring staff, upgrading document-tracking systems, and policing lawyers and vendors.
Attorneys general in 50 states are investigating mortgage servicing and foreclosures at the nation's biggest banks.
Earlier this month, Wells Fargo was fined $85 million to settle Federal Reserve claims that employees at its consumer- finance unit, Wells Fargo Financial, pushed customers who may have been eligible for prime interest rates into loans carrying higher rates intended for riskier borrowers. The company shuttered the unit in July 2010, eliminating 3,800 jobs, and stopped making non-prime home loans.

We have no credit card debt. I have two student loans which I am paying back on a ten year repayment plan. Once has a balance of $14,800 at 6% and the other, 7,200 at 6.1%.
As for other goals, we are planning on taking 9 months to a year off in several years to travel. The plan is to have enough save to do this and still have 10-15,000 left in savings when we come back. We are not entirely sure how much this will cost, but I anticipate we would need at least another 10,000 saved. Aside from that, we want to purchase a home eventually, but that's likely not going to be for at least ten years (we are both 23).
So, our month to month financial situation is that we spend $500 to $800 less than we earn, depending on the month. Aside from continuing to save for a trip, where else could we put our money? I have toyed with the idea of contributing more to my student loans, opening a Roth IRA for my wife (she is a student and doesn't have any retirement account set up), or some other type of investing. What would you suggest?
- Jeff
Whenever someone asks a question about what they should do with extra saving or investing dollars, I respond with the same general thing.
Set some goals.
Sit down with your wife and talk about where you want to be in five years. If you like where you're at and want to simply retain it with more robustness, I'd pay off the debt. If you want a more secure retirement so you feel safe switching jobs later, I'd build the Roth IRA. If you want a home, I'd start saving cash.
Your goals lead what you do with the money.
Q4: Preparing for job review
I'm writing to you looking for some advice as to what I can do to prepare for an upcoming Job Review (1 year). I feel like my job is going well, I am liked by those around me and I feel like my employers value me. However, I also feel like they don't care how much work they give me – they just pile it on day after day with no regard – thus deadlines are stretched and my stress raises. I don't feel like I am compensated fairly, but I don't know if a raise is in my future or not. I suppose my question is: what do you suggest, if anything, to do to prepare for a job review?

My husband just built a much bigger chicken coop and we've been in the market for hens to add to our flock of 3. I found someone with about 13 baby chicks of various breeds to add. He was scheduled to pick them up about 1:00pm yesterday. By the time I got home from work, he not only got those 13 adorable baby chicks, he bought a rooster fromt the lady with the chicks and 26 additional older chickens (by older, I mean probably 2 months old as opposed to 2 weeks old) at $1 each from our neighbor.
Our neighbor got them from someone down south who was delivering them to a slaughter house somewhere in New Jersey. All 26 of these chickens were being transported in a cage that does not look like it could not hold more than 10 snugly. When I saw them I thought Oh My God, they are in AWFUL condition. Many are missing lots of feathers. One has almost no feathers. They are covered is some kind of dried brown gook and desperately need a bath. On some, the legs look like they are 3xs the size they should be. One has a badly deformed foot. One is missing part of its toe. Some have 3 toes, some have 4. The rooster he got looks so much better proportioned and elegant than these awkwardly shaped birds. They are not used to farm living. We had to put them into the coop for the night then they had no idea how to get out of the coop when we opened it in the morning. They ate like they had been starved for a week. The only good thing is that they are very docile. They were obviously raised in horrible conditions and are probably very in-bred. + My husband was nice enough to let me eat my chicken nuggets before showing me the birds. I'll never look at store bought chicken the same way again. I'm not advocating not eating chicken but these birds look positively unhealthy - can't be healthy for us to eat either. I don't know if I could slaughter my own birds though. Maybe when they get bigger they will look less awkward. I can't wait to see them clean and fully feathered. Ellen |

If the meat chickens are Cornish Crosses, they don't have lots of feathers. Their legs have to be strong to carry all the weight they put on for the 6-8 weeks they are alive before slaughter. Cornish X's ALWAYS act like they are starving. They have been bred to be eating machines so they will put on plenty of weight by the time they are 8 weeks old. They are bred to have few feathers because it is easier to clean them commercially. Yes, it is sad, but true. If you plan to raise chickens for meat and you don't choose the Cornish X's, you are going to be raising some very expensive meat and you might not like the taste. If you are waiting for them to get fully feathered, you will wait a long time --- if they are more than 8 weeks old, they will probably die of heart attacks because their sweet little hearts are not going to be able to handle the weight. That's life. |

carmen is right. They sound like textbook Cornish X. They need to have their feed rationed, you cannot leave the feed in front of them all the time. If they were on their way to the slaughterhouse, they must be old enough to process--if you keep them alive much longer, their bodies will get too heavy for their legs to support and they will either go down on their hocks, or their legs will break. Because of this, it's cruel to keep Cornish Cross birds alive past their slaughter age. The messy condition, poor feathering and jammed-together-like-sardines thing is VERY typical of Cornish X birds, that's how they are raised, and have been specifically bred by humans to be this way--lots of meat in the shortest amount of time. They ARE very sweet and docile birds. More info and pictures of the breed here: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGA/Broil/BRKMeat.html Best thing to do for them is to continue their trip to the slaughterhouse. Thank your fellow humans for creating these monsters. :( Velvet ~:> |
They also could be spent layers on their way to the soup can. Inbred they probably were not. Layers and heavy meat birds are actually an outcross of 2 to 4 different inbred lines which are superior at their task(more eggs or more meat) partially due to outcrossing). Spent layers can sometimes be a fair egg maker for a family but as mentioned by another poster, the heavy meat birds can only be kept with feed restriction, they just arent designed for a normal chicken life. |
This is why I'm a vegetarian...I cannot stand the treatment and mishandling of all of the "meat" animals in factory farms..it deeply saddens me. I have no problem with real farms obviously because that's the way it should be and should have stayed...but I don't eat meat at all because of the huge discusting factory farms that don't realize that these animals are living creatures. |
I've heard that it is 'cruel' to let cornish X's live beyond when they are supposed to be slaughtered, because they get a lot of leg problems and other issues due to their voracious appetites and stuff. :( I'd never grow them, sure they grow like crazy but I'm sure they aren't as nutritious. Sort of gives you an idea why huge industrialized farming isn't a good thing, as well as breeding monster eating machines. :( |
I never knew about cornish Xs before. These are not spent layers, they are not very old, they don't seem to be fully grown. The deformities and oddly shaped bodies are very sad to see. My neighbor bought them to be egg layers and thinks they'll be fine. He has much more experience than us with chickens therefore my DH thinks that he is right. He and his wife have been raising chickens for years. I look at these Cornish Xs and get sad. I'm thinking of culling they ones that are the most deformed and keeping the healthier looking hens. They can live with my mixed breed, very pretty white rooster and probably breed much healthier babies. My younger baby chicks of various breeds seem so much healthier and adorable. I really only wanted about 12 hens, not 40. DH doesn't tend to do things in moderation. Ellen |
Re: Cornish x's not doing well beyond 8 weeks or so... My dad raises chickens and delved into the Cornish X for a brief time; he had the same result-- if they weren't butchered close to 8 weeks, they died of heart attacks or had trouble standing not long after that. He ended up giving two of them to a friend of his, who left the chickens out of their coops every day to "free-range" over his multiple-acre property. Well maybe it was the increased availability of exercise, but the Cornish X's my dad gave to him did NOT die-- in fact, they became like little (big?) dinosaur-bodybuilders roaming around this guy's property; they were freakishly gigantic, and quite healthy. Not sure exactly how long they lived but I know for sure it was at least a year or two. |
- Posted by carmen_grower_2007 4/5 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 5, 08 at 20:22
The cornish X's we raised were allowed to free-range and they certainly did for the first three weeks of their lives. Once they got so heavy they just didn't venture far any more. We only fed them from morning till dusk and then took the food away. We even put their food far from the hoop house each morning so they would have to travel a bit for the feed. Sad, sad, sad. We will never raise them again. It was very pitiful. If they aren't processed at 6-8 weeks, you are being cruel to them. They find it hard to walk after 8 weeks. Hate to tell you people, these we raised were raised on organic grain and pasture. They are the same breed raised commercially and sold to grocery stores and KFC. It is called American chicken. |

SUNSET BEACH—Most comments from residents along N.C. 179 Monday indicated they would rather not be annexed into the town.
With less than 20 people in attendance, the hearing was conducted to gather citizen input about the town's effort under way to annex a 99-acre residential stretch mostly along the eastern side of the road between The Colony II at Oyster Bay and the Calabash River.
The Town of Holden Beach is about $45,000 shy of the $1.486 million in estimated revenues so far this fiscal year, town manager David Hewett told Holden Beach commissioners during a budget workshop Monday at the new Emergency Operations Center.
Ninety-seven percent of property taxes have been collected.
The town manager is hopeful that percentage will increase.
"I understand it's a common practice in a beach community for some homeowners to wait until the rentals start coming in to pay their taxes," Hewett said.
SUNSET BEACH—Mary Ann Bechtel knows the importance of establishing a good reputation in business. It was her reputation as a Realtor that gave her the confidence to take a huge risk by starting her own agency last month.
The former Navy recruiter moved to Brunswick County in 1996 and began her real estate career. For the last five-and-a-half years, she was an agent with Re/Max. Then, in February, Bechtel made the leap to her own agency—in the midst of a historic downturn in the real estate market.
The cafeteria at the Brunswick County Government Complex is scheduled to close for renovations for about three months.
Assistant county manager Steve Stone said the cafeteria will temporarily close for retail dining around April 1 but will continue providing meals for inmates at the Brunswick County Detention Center and for Brunswick Senior Resources.
The cafeteria is being renovated and while the new kitchen is operating, Stone said the dining room is scheduled to undergo renovations, which are expected to take about three months.
OCEAN ISLE BEACH—A new type of recreation could soon be dropping from 14,000 feet in the air onto Ocean Isle Beach.
Bill Leppert, a commercial pilot and flight instructor at Ocean Isle Beach Aviation, approached the board of commissioners Tuesday with a skydiving presentation, hoping to bring the air sport to the Ocean Isle Beach Airport in the near future.
A lawsuit filed by the parents of a former West Brunswick High School student against the Brunswick County Board of Education has been dismissed.
U.S. District Judge James C. Dever III dismissed the lawsuit filed by Robert Frye, Kathy Frye and Kylee Rose Frye on Monday, March 9.
The Frye family filed the lawsuit against the board last year, after learning their then 17-year old daughter, Kylee, was found engaging in a sexual relationship with David Arrowood, a former West Brunswick High School math teacher, according to the lawsuit.
SUNSET BEACH—The Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce honored its members for their work over the past year at last week's annual meeting.
In addition to the annual awards, chamber staff did something a little different this year. Chamber President/CEO Cathy Altman gave a PowerPoint presentation highlighting the member companies' accomplishments over the past year, which drew positive response from the audience.
"I've gotten such good feedback," Altman said last week. "The members are saying we should do that every year."
A story in last week's Beacon about a bond reduction in Carolina Shores should have said Amie Drucker was acting as civil engineer for Portrait Homes.
SHALLOTTE—The West Brunswick High School Theatre Department and Drama Club showcased "Voices of Freedom," a Black History Month celebration, last weekend.
Bill Negron, the show's director, said directing the play was a "dream come true," as it was the first Black History show of its kind to be produced at West Brunswick. Sponsored by a grant from the Brunswick Arts Council Multicultural division, Bill Negron created the play's script by incorporating famous people, places and speeches in history.
BOLIVIA—The Brunswick County Board of Education was asked to send back about $470,000 to the state in a reversion earlier this year. While the state has not asked for another reversion, schools will be taking another hit to their budgets, as state lottery funds will be reduced.
Freyja Cahill, executive finance officer, said Gov. Bev Perdue reduced the district's lottery funds to $340,000—25 percent of what was originally allotted.

2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
- Used Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
- Repairs Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Review
This review was written when the 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport was new.
Test drivers say the 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has a low base price and a roomy back seat, but it can't match the performance and interior quality of top-ranked compact SUVs.
The Outlander Sport comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a five-speed manual transmission. According to the EPA, the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport gets up to 24/31 mpg city/highway, which is good for the class. Auto critics note that although the Outlander Sport offers a comfortable ride and strong brakes, it can't match the driving dynamics of other SUVs in the class. The bulk of test drivers say that the Outlander Sport is sluggish, with an underpowered engine. Most critics also agree that the Outlander Sport handles adequately, but it's not the most athletic around tight corners and twisty roads. Rivals like the Ford Escape and Volkswagen Tiguan are generally considered more fun to drive.
Despite its compact size, test drivers agree that the 2013 Outlander Sport offers a spacious back seat that will keep most passengers happy. While it has less cargo space than rivals like the GMC Terrain and Honda CR-V, critics still say there's plenty of room for a few suitcases behind the back seat. On the downside, many reviewers say that the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport's interior materials aren't high-quality, and that the optional navigation system can be difficult to use. The Outlander Sport comes with standard features that include a USB port and Bluetooth, while optional features include a Rockford-Fosgate stereo, heated front seats and a navigation system with a backup camera and a 40GB hard drive.
- "Though it's an agreeable urban runabout, the 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is outclassed by other small crossovers that are either more practical or more fun to drive." -- Edmunds
- "The Outlander Sport is a comfortable, livable vehicle with a versatile interior. It counters merely OK interior appointments and a subpar drivetrain with sporty handling and versatility that belies its tidy exterior size." -- Consumer Guide (2012)
- "Would I consider this over a Chevrolet Equinox or a Volkswagen Tiguan? Not with this drivetrain." -- AutoWeek (2011)
- "Given Mitsubishi's perilous predicament in the U.S., we're disappointed that the Sport seems to have received little thought beyond combining the Outlander's styling with the Lancer parts bin. It's refreshing to see a new vehicle that keeps its weight in check, and we're always pleased when there's a manual option, but those factors are far from enough to make the Outlander Sport the standout it needs to be." -- Car and Driver (2011)
Other SUVs to Consider
The Mazda CX-5 gets even better fuel economy ratings than the Outlander Sport, and reviewers appreciate the CX-5's high-quality interior and ample cargo space. The CX-5 also wins praise from the automotive press for its nimble handling and fun driving dynamics.
If you like the Outlander Sport's spacious back seat, don't overlook the Subaru Forester. Reviewers love the Forester's sporty handling and spacious interior. Though the base Forester costs a little more than the Outlander Sport, it also comes with standard all-wheel drive.
Compare the Outlander Sport, CX-5 and Forester »
Details: 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
The 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport seats five and comes with a five-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) and all-wheel drive are optional. The Outlander Sport comes in ES and SE trims, the latter of which adds more standard features and some upgraded interior materials. For 2013, the base Outlander Sport ES becomes available with all-wheel drive and all models get exterior styling updates and new seat fabrics. Since the Outlander Sport hasn't changed much, this overview uses applicable research and reviews from 2011 and 2012, as well as the current model year.

Jun 1, 2014 on FoodNetwork.com
"Absolutely yummy! For those of you who complain about it being "watery" or "bland", learn how to cook! You're doing it wrong. You have to season every step as you go. The b���chamel should coat a spoon. When it's done, don't cut into it for at least 20 minutes (it will still be steaming hot). My new favorite lasagna. Thanks Giada."

'Yummy". This recipe is perfect as is. I've never made Swedish meatballs before. But decided to make them as an appetizer for a party my friend was having with 50 guests. (Over 150 meatballs). EVERYONE loved them! Not one meatball leftover. They are absolutely delicious. I know everyone has different preferences, so taste it! Add more salt,..."

"This is the BEST MAC & CHEESE I ever ate! I made it last night and was blown away! I made it the traditional way by heating the milk and cream with flour then adding the cheese to melt. I under-cooked the noodles and then combined the noodles with the cheese sauce. Thank you Giada, I will never make mac & cheese with elbows and orange cheese again""

Not something you could grow outdoors in this climate or even in a much warmer climate, but in the Tropical Pavillion of the Muttart Conservatory, in Edmonton (zone 3), the "corpse flower" bloomed on April 22. The Muttart staff claims it really stunk first thing in the morning, but by the time I was there in the early-afternoon I would call it more of a mild funky smell, like kitchen garbage that should have been taken out two days ago. And you got used to that pretty quick. The flower is huge and impressive, kind of alien really. In the early afternoon when my wife and I were there the viewing line-up was 20 minutes. By the evening it was out the door and around the block, ugh. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Thanks for the pictures. I was going to go but absolutely hate line ups. I know I shud go but that long a line is more than I can do. |
Very prehistoric looking! Thanks Don! I'm with Ingrid on this one; I really can't do line-ups...........pretty awesome bloom tho! :) Ginny |

That's just awesome! They bloom every 40 years or so, right?? Don, it looks leathery. I don't imagine you were allowed to touch it were you? Fortunate you were there at the right time. 20 minutes isn't too bad. Out the door? I'd never wait that long to see anything, LOL! |

Facinating! The top part even looks like a withered face of a corpse too! Thanks for sharing. |

Great that you got to see this one's in a live time opportunity. Great shots! Nice place to visit, have been there,..plants like this really brings back the crowd which they really need I guess. |
I'm not sure how they handled the evening crowds, but when we were there in the early afternoon I thought the staff ran things extremely well. I was worried it was going to be a mad crowd all gathered around the flower, but instead they directed us to a line-up in the main part of the conservatory, then they allowed groups of 30 or so people in to see the flower for 10 minutes at a time, before moving us along and allowing in the next group of 30. In a pavillion of that size, that meant that it was not at all crowded around the corpse flower (as you can tell from my pics). As a bonus, where my group of 30 got stopped to wait our turn to enter the pavillion, my wife and I were at the front of the line, right by the guy doing the head-count. He was also an interpreter with a ton of knowledge about the corpse flower, and seemed happy to answer my bazillion questions. He had a pile of photos on his phone to show us of how this flower has developed over the past month or so... fascinating stuff. Nuts -- someone asked about the texture when we were viewing the flower, and the staff there said that a month ago it felt slippery but she didn't know how it felt now. (sure looks leathery, as you say). I would have loved to stick my head in the flower and take a big whiff, but clearly that was not going to be on the agenda if the staff themselves weren't even allowed to touch the plant! These plants can actually bloom once every year or two once they have an established flowering-size bulb. They expect this plant to put up a leaf that ends up about 20' tall... I guess how well this leaf makes and stores food will determine when it blooms next. Kind of like growing amaryllis bulbs, but on a massive scale. To grow this from seed to first bloom (which would presumably be a much smaller bloom than this one) takes about 10 years. At least that's how long it takes the grower in Boston to grow a seed to flowering stage. I don't know if it takes longer in nature, I was going to ask that question, then our turn to see the flower came up... |

That's cool that you saw it Don! It was on the news here. Your photos are way better than the photos they had on the news. |
WOW! Don, that is a scary looking thing! LOL! Thanks for the great photos. I sometimes do drive up to Edmonton - is the Muttart Conservatory worth checking out? 2 years in Alberta now but still have not checked out most of these places yet... sigh! |
Ostrich -- If you've never been to the Muttart, then yes definitely worth checking out. They have 4 pavillions -- tropical, desert, temperate, and a "show" pavillion (currently spring bulbs, but it changes every couple months). IMHO, the Muttart is kind of pricy, at $12 per adult. So I don't visit it much anymore, maybe once every few years. When my kid was young I bought an annual pass each year (which paid for itself after something like 3 visits) and we would go almost weekly during winter and spring -- made a great place for a kid to explore during nasty weather outside. |

Description not mine.
10 minutes in: Gorgeous, tipsy Lyssa Roberts (billed as Lyssa Robert) goes home with a guy she just met. We see her breasts and ass during a comedic, enthusiastic sex scene that ends abruptly. Nice curvy body!
14 minutes in: Meg Barrick'slying in bed naked. We see breasts and partial, blurry butt as she snoops on her boyfriend's cell phone. A sex video appears on the phone screen, but it's hard to make anything out. Brief boobs from Meg again as she gets out of bed and angrily throws on a robe.
21 minutes in: Some foreplay in bed ends with Meg Barrick having her bra removed. We see her breasts from the side, but they quickly go out of focus and the scene ends.
24 minutes in: Tessa Harnetiaux and her date undress each other while dancing to music. Great looks at her shimmying and twirling in bra and skimpy panties, both of which eventually come off. The camera mostly stays at waist level once she's naked, but breasts and ass are clearly visible. A hot sex scene ensues, with Tessa on top throughout, showing more boobs and butt. Nice final view of Tessa's pert posterior as she lies on her side at the end of this EXCELLENT sequence.

Coolidge, William D(avid)
biographical name(born Oct. 23, 1873, Hudson, Mass., U.S.died Feb. 3, 1975, Schenectady, N.Y.) U.S. engineer and physical chemist. He taught at MIT (1897, 1901–05) before joining the General Electric Research Laboratory, where in 1908 he perfected a process to render tungsten ductile and therefore more suitable for incandescent lightbulbs. In 1916 he patented a revolutionary X-ray tube capable of producing highly predictable amounts of radiation; it was the prototype of the modern X-ray tube. With Irving Langmuir, he also developed the first successful submarine-detection system.

You wrote in the email addy topic, I get the He reference a lot and I'm a girl. Not an issue, used to teach engineering graphics applications when girl wasn't the norm. Took more than a name to prove myself way back when. We've come a long way on both sides. Again, sorry about the mistake.
This is so timely, you'll love it! My late father was a Civil Engineer. My son is a Civil Engineer. My son has begun doing geneaology and has been asking me a lot of questions about my dad. My dad died when my son was only 5, and he knows the two of them are a lot alike because I'm like my dad. He see's his granddad as being the Angel on his shoulder who guided him through his major and college. Anyway, since my son is privvy to other Engineers in this state, he contacted a few of my dad's co-workers last week! I was so excited! Get this. One of his co-workers who is quite a bit younger than my dad, told my son that when he was hired, my dad took him, and other new employees to meet the "woman Engineer!" The guy said my dad was just thrilled that women were gettinhg into Engineering and he would go out of his way to make sure new employees met her. LOL |
Follow-Up Postings:
Jeesh Oakly, almost thought I was in trouble and going to the principal. Seriously, with tongue in cheek, no one has ever asked me to "step inside". A family of engineers? OCD at it's best and black/white theories abound. Although that is why my name is chosen as I'm an artist too and the two sides are controversial for getting things finished. I think too much on the creative side. How great of your dad. During my career we weren't always accepted, or at least many were leery. Also, I was working in an area and era that many Veterans felt was taking jobs from them. A controversial conversation one could expand upon. I congratulate you on your family successes. They have been surrounded by those with knowledge and curiosity for more. Although I taught engineers, my background is computer graphics and networking from the beginning of stone ages. I did attend an engineering university, but no one told me I could do any of the things possible that my career offered. Wonder if this is still true for many today. I don't have a degree, it was working and taking whatever was in front of me at the time. If you look at the list of graduates from a U, few are majored in engineering and science. The engineers taught me as much as I did them. I knew the software applications, they knew what they needed for design. We programmed together from there. It was quite by accident that the engineering environment became part of my career. Needed a job, neighbor got me into NASA, a test lab for newly developed postage stamp size circuit boards. Very beginning of what we now have in anything electronic, their size at the time in comparison to today was huge. I thrived there, starting out knowing nothing other than doing what they told me and became fascinated by all. Whenever there was another opening I jumped. You can figure out my age and the era by telling you I was part of building a small unit for the Apollo I. I will always be grateful for the opportunities available to me for a wonderful career that kept me learning and growing. It is a statement for today's situation seeing so many without jobs and who are or can be successful in their own right. Even with a college education, the opportunities are missed by our corporations utilizing stiff hiring practices. And employees willing to start at the bottom for any reason. My era was far different, the last statement could be controversial. But options aren't what they were. My son was in IT and should still be there with his abilities and knowledge. He is driving a truck now to maintain employment. This became longer than planned. But couldn't write without thinking of current issues in our economy. The what was and now for all of us. Hopefully I didn't go too far. |
I loved reading about your career. Did you know there are support groups for spouses of Engineers? lol. I'm used to your type of personality since I lived with that type for my whole life. We'd get along swell. :) I do blame my dad for my lack of love for Math. However, I did finally grasp it. When I was in Jr. High, learning whatever it was in Math, he sat down with me to explain a poblem. I kid you not, the "problem" ended up with column after column. Scared me to death! But that is one of the most fondest memories I have of my dad. Never ask an Engineer a simple math question. :) My son said there aren't that many women where he works, but more than there usually is. |

Kuchar inches to No. 5 in world rankings
Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Matt Kuchar holed out from a bunker at the final hole to win the RBC Heritage by a stroke on Sunday, and that victory inched Kuchar to fifth in this week's world golf rankings.
Kuchar's seventh career victory on the PGA Tour moved him up from No. 6 last week.
The top four players in the rankings remained the same, with Tiger Woods again being followed by Adam Scott, Henrik Stenson and Masters champion Bubba Watson.
Kuchar's move dropped Jason Day a place to sixth. Jordan Spieth jumped up a pair of spots to seventh, causing Sergio Garcia and Phil Mickelson to each fall a position to sit in eighth and ninth, respectively.
Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Zach Johnson, Dustin Johnson, Graeme McDowell and Steve Stricker all maintained their spots to sit 10th through 15th. Charl Schwartzel and Jason Dufner swapped places as Schwartzel moved up to 16th and Dufner fell to 17th.
Luke Donald finished in second place behind Kuchar at Harbour Town Golf Links to vault 11 places to No. 18, while Jim Furyk moved up a pair of slots to 19th and Jimmy Walker fell a place to round out the top 20.
Donald's and Furyk's moves caused Keegan Bradley and Victor Dubuisson to both fall out of the top 20.
Lee Westwood collected his first title in two years at the European Tour's Maybank Malaysian Open on Sunday, and that victory moved him up six spots in the rankings to No. 30.

In 1984, a National Endowment for the Humanities grant established the Folger Institute Center for the History of British Political Thought. In 1996, an endowment from Dr. Barbara Taft assured its future. Through a series of seminars, conferences, and publications, the Center seeks to re-map the main patterns of discourse in a major political culture over three seminal centuries, 1500–1800. The Center's work to date is represented in print by The Varieties of British Political Thought , 1500–1800, co-authored by eight seminar directors; in six volumes of "Proceedings" from its 1984–87 seminars; and in several collections of conference and seminar papers. The Institute maintains a complete list of all materials published by the Center.
Since its creation by J.G.A. Pocock, Lois Schwoerer, and Gordon Schochet, the Center's Steering Committee has fostered a number of different agendas in British Political Thought. Current members of the Steering Committee include David Armitage of Harvard University, Linda Levy Peck of George Washington University, Gordon Schochet of Rutgers University, Julia Rudolph of North Carolina State University, Nigel Smith of Princeton University, and Kathleen Lynch of the Folger Institute.

AVEO And Astellas Announce Submission Of New Drug Application For Tivozanib For The Treatment Of Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma
AVEO Oncology (NASDAQ: AVEO) and Astellas Pharma Inc. (TSE:4503) today announced that AVEO has submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking approval for tivozanib in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Tivozanib is designed to target the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway, a clinically validated target in RCC and other solid tumors.
The NDA submission is based on results of the global Phase 3 TIVO-1 (Tivozanib Versus Sorafenib in 1st line Advanced RCC) trial, a randomized superiority-designed pivotal trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of tivozanib compared to sorafenib in 517 patients with advanced RCC who had no prior treatment with a systemic therapy, as well as data from 17 clinical studies involving over 1,000 subjects who received tivozanib. In TIVO-1, tivozanib demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) versus sorafenib, an approved targeted agent, and a favorable tolerability profile.
Results from the study were first presented in early June 2012 at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2012 Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL.
About Kidney Cancer
Advanced RCC, or kidney cancer, is the ninth most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and women in the U.S. 1 Worldwide it is estimated that more than 250,000 people are diagnosed and more than 100,000 people die from the disease each year. 2 RCC accounts for more than 90 percent of all kidney cancers. 3 Currently available therapies provide less than one year of median PFS in treatment naive patients and are associated with significant toxicities. 4 These toxicities not only lead to high rates of dose reductions and interruptions (potentially compromising efficacy), but also can impact a patient's quality of daily living. 5 About Tivozanib Tivozanib is a potent, selective, long half-life inhibitor of all three vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors that is designed to optimize VEGF blockade while minimizing off target toxicities. Tivozanib is an oral, once-daily, investigational tyrosine kinase inhibitor for which positive results from a Phase 3 clinical study in advanced renal cell carcinoma have been reported. Tivozanib is also under evaluation across a broad range of solid tumors, including metastatic colorectal cancer and metastatic breast cancer.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I haven't had a chance to carry on with the Azalea, which is probably a blessing because I don't think I have enough patience to rip all the seeams yet. If you want to send me you're email address I'll send you a little how-to on the skirt – a chance to repay you for your winter dress how-to!

Hi emlj! JJ isn't too tough, although there are some different parts- the sleeves and collar specifically. I didn't follow the directions completely, because they were a bit confusing, but i think the resulting blouse is so worth a little confusion :) Plus, I'm happy to help if you get stuck, as I'm sure are many others. There is a how-to about the sleeve slit that squirrelypoo posted. That was the weirdest part in the directions, so it really helped me. You should definitely give it a try! I'd love to see your version :)
Jan 13, 2009, 06.18 PMby claireissewing
Well, inbetween exams and essays, I've been working on the Azalea. But frustratingly, I didn't read other people's comments about how it comes out too big! So I've got a huge Azalea hanging in my bedroom…I'm sure it's taunting me! So, rather than start again I've chopped out the underdress and I'm taking in the seams. Blurgh! x

Keep your eye open for the elastic, I found mine in my local fabric store. The top was so simple to make, and very flattering to wear although by the end of the night, I was grateful to take it off. It felt like a corset by about 3am!

Dear Emlj! Thank you for trying the how-to, I was really flattered and at the same time I was overwhelmed with joy that somebody actually tried it and it turned out that that one is a masterpiece. Yes, your tunic is FABULOUS! I absolutely adore it!

Helloooo, just to let you know I am definitely still going to make your winter dress – just need to find the time in the midst of writing a thousand essays. So don't worry, your detailed notes were not in vain! x

Hey Thanks! I did it with Grey suit material and red pinstripe and it seems to work quite well.

this is a simple top i made for my friend, it's the second thing i have ever made for anyone, first top i have made period. its also my first attempt at a side zipper. Needless to say she loves it and it fit on the first try, no need for adjustments (chest swelling with pride) i made the top before i joined the site so sadly no tutorials.

It doesn't feel like fall today, but the Red Spider Lilies are poking up after the little bit of rain we've had. I also saw 2 stems of wild violet oxalis with blooms on top. There's not a leaf showing under them, but there the blooms are. And in a flower bed one stem of autumn cyclamen is open. No leaves there either. The Sweet Autumn Clematis on the garden fence didn't take as big a hit from the black blister beetles this year and is loaded with buds. I gave it a good soaking to encourage them to open. The wild Goldenrod is also budding and will bloom shortly. Now if we could just get some more rain. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have signs of fall, too. Lots of crispy brown leaves fluttering about....oh wait, they were murdered by the sun..... |
- Posted by mulberryknob z6OK (My Page) on Mon, Sep 3, 12 at 20:48
Okievegan, we have quite a few of those too, and patches of dead grass. |
I have been seeing fall signs few ago and now it looks like spring! Our little pear trees are blooming!! and oak tree in the front yard covered with new leaves like we usually see in the early spring. Indeed leaves in all tree were completely died and I thought they may not survive, but they are doing good after we got tow good rain showers few weeks ago. I won't surprise if asparagus start shooting new new spears -Chandra |
- Posted by mulberryknob z6OK (My Page) on Mon, Sep 3, 12 at 23:52
Chandra, my asparagus patch was completely defoliated by the grasshoppers over the last month. Then with the last rain, as little as it was, some of the plants put up a few spears. |
In the pastures and alongside the rural roadways, we are starting to see blooms from the late summer and autumn wildflowers like the liatris, goldenrod and asters. I haven't seen any of the fall-blooming blue sage yet. While some trees show drought stress, may others don't, and it seems like the trees in the sandy soils in Thackerville are suffering more than the trees in the clay soil where we live a few miles north of there. I have noticed this week that a lot of the trees down there in Thackerville have foliage that is yellowing and dropping, mostly the cottonwoods, sycamores and catalpas. Some oaks here in our area have some years browning and dropping, but otherwise, except for the redbud trees, which look like crap, most of the trees are hanging in there pretty well. We have greened up well after receiving that good rainfall last week, so that's something at least. Dawn |

I was gonna say that the Redbuds look awful, having dropped most of their leaves here in the city. Many hot weather and fall weather plants are blooming or about to bloom. I wish I had those bulbs of yours, Dorothy. Salvias are looking very colorful; asters are budding, Passion vines are flowering and fruiting, Morning Glories are stunning, but some flowers are getting smaller as they tend to do in the fall for me. Golden Crownbeard flowering, and the Family Jewels milkweed is setting seedpods. I planted some Whirligig Zinnias later and they are just now beginning to show buds, so I'll have some fresh, new Zinnias to take the place of the tired and worn out ones. A Heavenly Blue MG is starting to show a bit of bloom that should get stronger as we get further into fall. Sedum is about to bloom, too. I planted some late seed of Basil and it is doing nicely and really starting to grow. So maybe I'll get in a few Caprese salads with my tomatos and basil (and mozzarella cheese yet. Butterflies and Dragonflies are putting on a show. Hummers still here, but should be leaving soon. This year I had tons of true Bumblebees in the garden. Was really happy to see a resurgence of them this year. Susan |

Founded in 1991 by Geoff Barrow, Beth Gibbons and Adrian Utley the band named itself after the small town of birth of Geoff 'Portishead', but always thought much larger - and created a completely different style of music and sound. The mix of electronic music, slow down beats to avant-garde soundscapes, always crowned by the voice of Beth Gibbons struck in 1994 with the debut album "Dummy" like a bomb.

Summary: Winner of the Weidenfeld Translation Prize and the Premio Montale, an acclaimed translation of Italy's greatest modern poet Eugenio Montale is universally recognized as having brought the great Italian lyric tradition that begins with Dante into the twentieth century with unrivaled power and brilliance. Montale is a love poet whose deeply beautiful, individual work confronts the dilemmas of modern history, philosophy, and faith with courage and subtlety; he has been widely translate ...show mored into English and his work has influenced two generations of American and British poets. Jonathan Galassi's versions of Montale's major works--Ossi di seppia, Le occasioni, and La bufera e altro--are the clearest and most convincing yet, and his extensive notes discuss in depth the sources and difficulties of this dense, allusive poetry. This book offers English-language readers uniquely informed and readable access to the work of one of the greatest of all modern poets. ...show less

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 One day the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus' claims by asking him to show them a miraculous sign from heaven. | 1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven. |
2 He replied, "You know the saying, 'Red sky at night means fair weather tomorrow, | 2 He replied, "When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' |
3 red sky in the morning means foul weather all day.' You are good at reading the weather signs in the sky, but you can't read the obvious signs of the times! | 3 and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. |
4 Only an evil, faithless generation would ask for a miraculous sign, but the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah." Then Jesus left them and went away. | 4 A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah." Jesus then left them and went away. |
5 Later, after they crossed to the other side of the lake, the disciples discovered they had forgotten to bring any food. | 5 When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread. |
6 "Watch out!" Jesus warned them. "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees." | 6 "Be careful," Jesus said to them. "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees." |
7 They decided he was saying this because they hadn't brought any bread. | 7 They discussed this among themselves and said, "It is because we didn't bring any bread." |
8 Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he said, "You have so little faith! Why are you worried about having no food? | 8 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, "You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? |
9 Won't you ever understand? Don't you remember the five thousand I fed with five loaves, and the baskets of food that were left over? | 9 Do you still not understand? Don't you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? |
10 Don't you remember the four thousand I fed with seven loaves, with baskets of food left over? | 10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? |
11 How could you even think I was talking about food? So again I say, 'Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.'" | 11 How is it you don't understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees." |
12 Then at last they understood that he wasn't speaking about yeast or bread but about the false teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. | 12 Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. |
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" | 13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" |
14 "Well," they replied, "some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets." | 14 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets." |
15 Then he asked them, "Who do you say I am?" | 15 "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" |
16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." | 16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." |
17 Jesus replied, "You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being. | 17 Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. |
18 Now I say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. | 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. |
19 And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you lock on earth will be locked in heaven, and whatever you open on earth will be opened in heaven." | 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." |
20 Then he sternly warned them not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah. | 20 Then he warned his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ. |
21 From then on Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that he had to go to Jerusalem, and he told them what would happen to him there. He would suffer at the hands of the leaders and the leading priests and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, and he would be raised on the third day. | 21 From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life. |
22 But Peter took him aside and corrected him. "Heaven forbid, Lord," he said. "This will never happen to you!" | 22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. "Never, Lord!" he said. "This shall never happen to you!" |
23 Jesus turned to Peter and said, "Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, and not from God's." | 23 Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men." |
24 Then Jesus said to the disciples, "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must put aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross, and follow me. | 24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. |
25 If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for me, you will find true life. | 25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. |
26 And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul in the process? Is anything worth more than your soul? | 26 What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? |
27 For I, the Son of Man, will come in the glory of my Father with his angels and will judge all people according to their deeds. | 27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done. |
28 And I assure you that some of you standing here right now will not die before you see me, the Son of Man, coming in my Kingdom." | 28 I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." |

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Nov. 12, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QC Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:QCCO) reported income from continuing operations of $643,000 and revenues of $42.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, income from continuing operations totaled $4.2 million and revenues were $117.2 million.
For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012, income from continuing operations totaled $1.8 million and $8.4 million, respectively, and revenues were $40.9 million and $115.2 million, respectively.
The three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 include discontinued operations relating to: i) the company's automotive segment and ii) branches that were closed during each period. Schedules reconciling adjusted EBITDA to income from continuing operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are provided below.
** Third Quarter ** Revenues increased $1.1 million, or 2.7%, quarter-to-quarter, primarily due to higher fees and interest from the company's longer-term, higher-dollar installment products, which were introduced in early 2012, partially offset by reduced payday loan fees as a result of increased competition. Branch operating costs, exclusive of loan losses, increased $349,000 (to $17.9 million) during the three months ended September 30, 2013 versus prior year's third quarter. This increase was primarily attributable to new marketing initiatives and higher bank-related charges. Loan losses increased $4.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013, totaling $15.1 million versus $11.0 million in prior year's quarter. The loss ratio increased to 36.0% in third quarter 2013 versus 26.8% in third quarter 2012. The increase in the loss ratio is attributable to a higher rate of returned items in the current quarter versus prior year (54% in returned items as a percentage of revenues versus 41% in prior year's third quarter). This increase is related to the introduction of electronic collateralization of loans (in lieu of checks), the seasoning of the company's newer, higher-dollar installment products and the prolonged economic recovery.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
