Bill's Favorite Music
Here are some of Bill's all-time favorite bands. This is 100% great music that you can often hear featured on the Radio Factor. We've provided links for you to sample those you haven't heard before.
Luther Vandross
Smooth, adult R&B. Contains "Here and Now," which broke Vandross through to the pop Top Ten long after most people had given up hope that he'd ever cross over
Earth Wind & Fire
Groovy 70s Funk. The singles gathered here constitute some of the richest, most sophisticated music the funk movement ever produced; when the absolute cream of the group's catalog is heard in such a concentrated fashion, the effect is dazzling.
Tower of Power
70s funk from the San Francisco Bay Area. "What Is Hip?" was the biggest single they ever had, but they also had several other smaller hits that captured their sleek, stylized soul-funk quite well, such as "Soul Vaccination."
Joe Cocker
British blues. This compilation successfully distills Cocker's highlights, including the splendid "When the Night Comes," onto a single CD.
The Eagles
Classic easy rocking Southern California hits. The tunes are melodic, and the arrangements -- full of strummed acoustic guitars over a rock rhythm section often playing a shuffle beat, topped by tenor-dominated harmonies -- are immediately engaging.
The Rolling Stones
The Devil's answer to The Beatles? For Stones fans, Forty Licks is about as good as it gets -- and thanks to the variety and punch within, even the casual listener will be left wanting another spin at its end.
The Doors
Psychedelic sixties sexuality. A well-chosen, 19-track compilation balancing the radio hits with the longer, more complex song poems.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Rock's best barbershop quartet. One of the most hotly awaited second albums in history -- right up there with those by the Beatles and the Band -- Déjà Vu lived up to its expectations and rose to number one on the charts.
Hall and Oates
70s & 80s pop. With their roots firmly planted in the Philly soul tradition of Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff (Teddy Pendergrass, the O'Jays), Hall and Oates transcended racial and chart boundaries with synth-funk-drenched jams such as the irrepressible "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)," which spent time atop both the pop and R&B charts.
The Beatles
What more needs to be said? Beatles 1 is the first single-disc collection that spans every facet of the Fab Four's career, from Merseybeat mavens to punchy rockers to masters of nuanced pop-craft. The 27 chart-topping hits presented herein leave little doubt about why Beatlemania gripped the world in the '60s, beginning with the band's first stateside hit, "Love Me Do," and carrying on through scream-inducing hits such as "Can't Buy Me Love" and "A Hard Day's Night."
Elvis Presley
The King (and original crossover success). While the title implies it's merely a plain-old "best of," Elvis 30 #1 Hits goes a lot further -- particularly as regards the sound quality, boosted by careful tweaking of original master tapes so that even much-heard favorites like "Don't Be Cruel" and "All Shook Up" leap from the speakers with increased zest.
Frank Sinatra
Old Blue Eyes.
The Very Best of Frank Sinatra
is ideal, since it contains all of the true essentials he recorded during the '60s and '70s, including "Summer Wind," "Strangers in the Night," "My Way," "It Was a Very Good Year," and "Theme From New York, New York."
Bill's #1 song
"Rainy Night in Georgia" by Brook Benton
A classic R&B ballad.
20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Brook Benton
gathers a dozen of the singer/songwriter's greatest hits, including "It's Just a Matter of Time," "Fools Rush In," "The Boll Weevil Song," and his duets with Dinah Washington, "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)" and "A Rockin' Good Way (To Mess Around and Fall in Love)."

BA trouble over Concorde tribute
The day before the inaugural flight from Docklands to New York and the service has already ruffled a few feathers.
Campaigners for the return of Concorde say they are angry about British Airways' decision to use the supersonic's old flight numbers for the new transatlantic route from London City Airport.
The new route will take off on its inaugural flight on Tuesday and it will be first time the BA001 number has been used since Concorde was taken out of passenger service in 2003.
Save Concorde Group's secretary Katie John said: "We know it might not seem like the most pressing issue during these times, but this is important to us. Concorde is a British institution.
"They are trying to cash in on Concorde's name with something that clearly isn't it.
"It's hardly comparable - it takes eight and half hours to get to New York with the new flights. In Concorde's day it was three hours."
The group has been campaigning for the last few years for Concorde to come out of retirement and fly in ceremonial events, and has been at loggerheads with British Airways.
Katie, who lives in Poplar, said: "We feel that the use of Concorde's flight number, in an effort to win 'prestige', is an insult to Concorde's memory and highlights how much has changed for BA since their glory days."
BA said it took the decision to give the flights from City to John F Kennedy Airport the BA001 number to honour Concorde.
A spokesman said: "We wanted to give London City route the same number as Concorde - we did it as a mark of respect."
The first flight will take off on Tuesday. Completely business class, the return flights will run twice a day on a 32-seater A318 aircraft.
Meanwhile, Peter Simpson, the managing director of Cityflyer said the airline was looking at launching tourist flights in the future.
Cityflyer, the British Airways subsidiary based at London City, has recently bought five Embraer planes and is considering using them to fly to Spanish destinations such as Majorca and Ibiza.
Simpson told Bloomberg: "We would hope to put our toe in the water later next year."

It is awful to use Concorde's old flight numbers.
Is the new plane a technological achivement over Concorde?. Nope. This is an insult by BA. This new BA flight to New York from London City Airport is a step backwards in time. The flight has to make a stop at Shannon airport to refuel.
It speaks much of London City Airport as an unfit site for an airport.
As if the use of BA001 wasn't bad enough, to add insult to injury, from October the business passengers using this new service will have to pay £60 extra just to reserve a seat - just as if they were getting a budget ryanair flight.
BA has really lost it. It's a shame on so many levels.

I love looking at the fireplace and the cabinet is very high quality. Mine however came damaged
We are very pleased with the product and it arrived on time and in good condition. Wasn't too hard to put together.
Did have to be assembled, but was not that difficult. Is a very attractive, solid piece of furniture. Have seen similar fireplaces in stores for much more.
The furniture piece is attrative but fireplace section does not heat a small room. I need to keep it at the highest and the electric bill went through the roof. I called the electric company and they said the electric fireplace eats up a tremendous amount of energy. I believe I have paid for the unit 2X over the cause of the winter.
This product along with other overstock products are amazing an come exactly as they are on the website. I would recommend this product to everyone who is looking for a cheap but decorative way to heat up a room. Place one in every room available! It uses little to no energy so it is great on your wallet.
This piece I was very satisfied with other than when you use the remote to turn your T.V. on it turns the firplace on.Contacted the vendor and was informed it is a glitch with all of them ,they are going to send a new fireplace insert to me in June.It is a beautiful piece of furniture other than that.No problems with putting it together according to my husband !
Not sure how this color looks the same as it does online to other reviewers, because it does not look anything like it does online. All our livingroom furniture is cherry wood so this should match but it doesn't because it is red. Cherry is supposed to refer to the color of cherry wood, not the fruit. It also arrived broken and we have been told they will send replacement parts but I fear the colors will differ due to different lots. It's bad enough the color is bad but being multicolored will be worse. Very disappointed in this product. Also, we ordered other items days before this and have yet to receive them and there is no tracking information. Definitely will not be ordering from Overstock again. Sticking with Amazon from now on as we've never had problems with them. The only positive is that the "fire" is pretty decent looking for an electric fireplace, but the digital display is covered by the grid and not easy to view.
This is a great piece, and I'm very happy I bought it. The picture here is very accurate (i.e. the finish of the wood matches the color in the picture). You do have to assemble it, but I put it together by myself in a couple of hours (and I'm a stereotypical 5'3 female). That said, the instructions for assembly are not helpful at all. The print is so tiny you can barely make out which pieces are supposed to go where, and it's not always clear from them which way you should be positioning something so that you don't end up with an inside-out version of the console. Thankfully, though, it's pretty obvious where things should fit together in most cases (although I did end up having to re-do the hinges on the doors a couple of times before I got them facing the right way). The doors shut with magnets, which you wouldn't know from the pictures, and I thought that was a nice added touch. Also, the light and the heat from the electric fireplace are both great - and the controller allows you to have one without the other, which is great for when I just want the firelight. Finally, when I first bought this, I was slightly worried about the concept of having my flatscreen right on top of something that was emitting a lot of heat (what if something went wrong and it overheated the TV?), but having had it for a couple of weeks now, every time I go to turn the heat off, the top shelf that the TV rests on is still cool, so I don't feel nervous about that anymore. Overall, a great piece, and one that I'd highly recommend.

Pay attention on these lifts, though, or risk missing out on one of the most thrilling rides of your life (even if it only lasts 30 seconds). From zooming up an inside-out London landmark to climbing to a scenic overlook in rural China to an ascent up an American icon, these vertical feats of engineering are about way more than getting from point A to point B.See more photos of the elevatorsBailong Elevator, Hunan, ChinaBailong Elevator in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park proves that extraordinary lifts aren't just for cities. In a feat of engineering, glass elevator cars rise nearly 1,070 feet up a sheer cliff as they transport folks to a scenic area overlooking the green-swathed valley below. In two minutes time, guests are treated to some of the park's best scenery, including scenic lakes and the distinct sandstone pillars the region is known for.How to ride: The scenery in Zhangjiajie is spectacular, rain or shine, but be aware that the lifts may shut down for inauspicious weather. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Hunan Province, 011-86/744-836-2222, $39 for a two-day park ticket, lift is $8.90 per person.10 record-setting natural wonders in the U.S.The Gateway Arch, St. Louis, MissouriThe ascent to the top of America's tallest monument begins in a futuristic, white pod elevator at the base. The mod design feels like something straight out of The Jetsons, but the crowning stroke of genius by Finnish architect Eero Saarinen was the addition of glass doors, which reveal the mechanical complexity of the structure's interior as the cars chug up to the observation deck of the 630-foot high wonder. The ride is over in just four minutes, at which point visitors can make their way out to marvel at how tiny the mighty Mississippi River and all of those cars below appear.How to ride: Skip long lines by buying tickets online or over the phone. 11 North 4th St., 877/982-1410, stlouisarch.com, $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 3-15.Ferris wheels you have to see to believeThe Falkirk Wheel, Falkirk, ScotlandImagine boarding an elevator...in a boat. It's not as crazy as it sounds. The Falkirk Wheel is exactly that -- a lift for boats -- and it serves a very practical purpose. It opened in 2002, the long-awaited answer to the question of how to link two canals whose inconvenient, lock-ridden connection had been severed nearly 70 years earlier. Not surprisingly, the lift has become a popular attraction, with 50-minute gondola tours that traverse both canals and include two rides, up and down, on the elevator. At the zenith of the Wheel's rotation, visitors can see as far as two miles outside of Falkirk proper and marvel at both the bucolic countryside and the 115-foot tall contraption swooping them gently through the air.How to ride: Due to the popularity of the Wheel, pre-booking tickets online or over the phone is recommended. Check the weather beforehand -- clear days will yield the best views of these pastoral scenes. Lime Rd., Tamfourhill, 011-44/8700-500208, www.thefalkirkwheel.co.uk, $12.25 for adults, $7.75 for children 3-15.7 beautiful cable car rides around the worldAquaDom, Berlin, GermanyIt resides in the lobby of Berlin's Radisson Blu Hotel, but the AquaDom goes where few hotel elevators have ever dared venture: the middle of the sea (or close enough, anyway). A lift rising through the hollow center of a cylindrical, 82-foot tall aquarium transports visitors through a full panorama of tropical sea life. Fish festooned with vibrant colors nibble at the aquarium wall inches from their human admirers. Almost a hundred different species, including blow fish, silver moonfish and humphead wrasse, are represented in the tank, which holds over a million liters of water and is the largest cylindrical tank aquarium in the world. The ride is decidedly leisurely -- perfect for reveling in the sensation of floating in an underwater wonderland.Beach photos that'll make you droolHow to ride: The AquaDom is one attraction in Sea Life, an aquarium complex within the same property as the hotel. To ensure quick entry -- and to shave a few bucks off the walk-up price -- purchase your tickets online. 3 Spandauer Str., 011-49/180-5-66-690-101, visitsealife.com, $15.35 for adults, $9 for children 3-14.Hammetschwand Lift, Lake Lucerne, SwitzerlandIt looks like a rocket ready to blast off into the unknown, but the Hammetschwand Lift offers far more colorful vistas than anything you could find in the emptiness of outer space. The elevator opened in 1905 as an addition to the Bürgenstock Resort and its birds-eye views of the rugged Alps and Lucerne's blue waters have been wowing visitors ever since. The years have done nothing to diminish its impact -- the 499-foot, 48-second ride is still the tallest outdoor lift in Europe. And while the structure's spiderweb latticework might seem precarious, the engineers behind the project clearly knew what they were doing because the lift has stood the test of time. Today, modern cars traverse the distance at a brisk speed of 10 feet per second, making this hotel elevator a legitimate thrill ride. Ready for liftoff?How to ride: The lift shuts down for the winter months, so plan your visit between mid-May and mid-October. It stays open late on Saturdays in summer, making it the perfect venue for enjoying a sunset. Bürgenstock Resort, Obbürgen, 011-41/612-9090, buergenstock.ch, tickets are $14 for adults, $7 for children 6-16.10 best budget destinations for 2014SkyView, Stockholm, SwedenThere is no better way to take in the sights of Stockholm than a ride along the Ericsson Globe. Gondolas attached to a track run along to the exterior of this spherical structure (361 feet in diameter). The glass lifts trace a twenty-minute curve to the very top of the orb and back down, giving visitors a constantly evolving panorama of the city's skyline. The only downside is that it doesn't give you a view of the Globe itself; the clean, white structure dotted with porthole windows is one of Stockholm's most striking landmarks.How to ride: There are only two gondolas for the popular ride, so reserve your spot online in advance to ensure a seat. 2 Globentorget, 011-46/771-811-000, globearenas.se, tickets are $22 for adults, $15 for children 3-12.Lloyd's Building, London, EnglandThe Lloyd's of London building on Lime Street was designed inside out, thrilling passersby with massive piping curving around the exterior. The twelve glass elevators are outside as well, gliding smoothly up the side of the building. They might not be the fastest or the tallest, but for these lifts, it's all about the view. The Thames River is only a quarter mile away and some of London's other eminent sights -- including the spire at St. Paul's from one side of the building, and the celebrated Gherkin from another -- are even closer, making a 30-second trip up those crystal pods one of the best ways to savor the city.How to ride: This one will be the hardest to check off the list: Lloyd's lifts are only open to employees and official visitors and security is tight. But don't give up hope. The building is usually included in London's annual Open House, when the public gets free access and tours to places normally off-limits. One Lime St., 011-44/20-7327-1000, lloyds.com, free during London's Open House, September 20 and 21, 2014.Taipei 101, Taipei, TaiwanTearing along at almost forty miles per hour, the tower's lifts reach the 89th-floor observatory in just 37 seconds, leaving riders well over a thousand feet above the city. From this viewpoint, every corner of the sprawling metropolis is tiny by sheer distance. Parks, temples, and even other skyscrapers and distant mountains are practically Lilliputian. And the journey is only half over -- the stomach-dropping return trip is just as thrilling.How to ride: The ticket office is found on the tower's fifth floor. Tickets are only sold on-site, so be prepared to wait in line. 7 Hsin Yi Rd., Sec. 5, 011-866/2-8101-8899, www.taipei-101.com.tw, tickets are $13 for adults, $12.35 for children under 12.Luxor Inclinator, Las Vegas, NevadaDon't call it an elevator. The Luxor's "inclinators" transport guests up the side of the hotel's iconic pyramid at a sharp 39-degree angle. Unlike others on this list, the cars lack observation windows, and they can't compete with other famed elevators in height (they only span 30 floors). But like so much of Las Vegas, the inclinators are all about standing apart from the crowd. There are also great views from the top floors of the faux Egyptian universe below, especially at night, when the decadent lights of the lobby flash to life.How to ride: Access to the Luxor's higher floors via the inclinators is restricted to guests, so the best way to take a ride is to spend the night at the 4,400-room hotel. 3900 Las Vegas Blvd. South, 702/262-4444, luxor.com, from $89 per night.Long Island City Business Center, Queens, New YorkFor most of the lifts on this list, the thrill comes from the view outside the walls. But for this elevator, it's all about the view inside. Don't be fooled by the building's businesslike façade or its no-nonsense entryway. A psychedelic scene awaits behind the deceptively unadorned doors of the elevator near a small entrance on 31st Street. The one-of-a-kind interior is painted with the massive, twisted visage of a grinning dragon with grotesque 3-D beasts bursting from its eye sockets. The effects are striking (made even more disorienting by the small fish-eye mirror on the back wall). The journey up the building's six floors is quite a trip, indeed.How to ride: Anyone who works in the building should be able to point the way. 30-30 47th Ave., Long Island City, free, if you can get to it.Mercedes-Benz Museum, Stuttgart, GermanyWith their stark, curving metallic exteriors and glowing visor-shaped windows, the elevators at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart are as much fun to watch rise and fall along tracks in the museum's atrium as they are to ride. The trip only takes about 30 seconds so feel free to ride multiple times. You might want to pop off every once in a while to see the exhibits covering 125 years of motoring landmarks -- and to see the inspiration behind the elevators' uber-modern look.How to ride: The museum itself is worth a visit, but if you are really just there for the elevators (and we wouldn't blame you), tickets are half price between 4:30 p.m. and when the ticket booth closes at 5 p.m. (the museum is open until 6 p.m.). 100 Mercedesstrasse, 011-49/711-17-30-000, mercedes-benz-classic.com, half price tickets are $5.15 for adults, $2.60 for teens 15 to 17 after 4:30 p.m.Sky Tower, Auckland, New ZealandThe view from this tower's observation level (610 feet in the air) is impressive for sure, but watching it unfold in front of you on the 40-second ride up is even more magical. The glass-fronted elevators have views of the harbor and Auckland's modest cityscape, as well as the green countryside unfurling like a quilt in the far distance. If you can tear your eyes away from the view out the sides, look down through the glass floor for the extra thrill of seeing the ground speed away from you -- and come rushing back towards you on the descent.How to ride: Sky Tower is located at the corner of Victoria and Federal Sts., 011-64/800-759-2489, skycityauckland.co.nz, tickets are $23.50 for adults, $9 for children 6-14.CNN recommends10 places we dare you to visitYou don't have to be an adrenaline junkie to take a dare.Nature's most spectacular showsFireworks are fantastic and human endeavor has its place, but sometimes Mother Nature outshines any performance we can produce. 29 beach photos that'll make you droolThey're almost unbelievable.

4th annual Doctoral Conference
25 July 2011
Liverpool Business School held its 4th Annual Doctoral Conference in June. The conference was well attended by both staff and students from varying programmes ranging from the Masters in Research Programme, the PhD and the Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA). The keynote speaker for the conference was Professor Derek Pugh, author of the book "How to get a PhD", who gave a very useful and informative workshop on "the components of a good doctorate".
The conference provides an excellent opportunity for students to showcase their work either through posters or verbal presentations and to interact and engage with other research students as well as staff. Dr Yusra Mouzughi, Programme Leader for the Doctoral Programmes said "we are very proud to host the doctoral conference, now in its 4th year, as it allows students from different doctoral programmes to engage in debates about research; appreciate the range of research projects being undertaken in the school and generally be a part of a growing research community".
At the end of the conference, prizes were given for best verbal and best poster presentation. This year, best poster presentation was awarded to Mohammed Zakari and best verbal presentation was awarded to Wael Jundi.

Apparently Michele Zagaria really dug -- pun intended -- his underground lairs.
Zagaria headed the powerful Casalesi clan from the Camorra or Neapolitan Mafia, and spent sixteen years on the lam until December 2011 when police found him living in an underground bunker in his home town of Casapesenna near Naples.
And now Italian police have uncovered a second hole into which the mob boss sometimes would descend to hide from the world as reported by Chris Pleasance for the Daily Mail: "the entrance to the complex is hidden behind a fake wall, which is moved using an electric mechanism," and "that then leads to a hydraulic life which lowers down into the secret basement" which "was fitted out with a bedroom, a bathroom, its own ventilation system, and state-of-the-art CCTV cameras."
The Camorra runs the streets of impoverished Naples and is involved in everything from the vice rackets such as drugs and prostitution to the corruption of legitimate industries including waste and construction, and its dirty operations were exposed to the world by Roberto Saviano in his 2006 international bestseller Gomorrah which subsequently was adapted into a film by director Matteo Garrone.
The contents of Zagaria's bunker in which he was found included a copy of Gomorrah.

The Dry-Skin Workbook
By Michele Bender
Special Offers
Your Quiz Result: Sahara Skin
Flaking, itchiness, inflammation you've got it all. And you probably look older than your better-hydrated counterparts. So what's making you so parched that you want to crawl out of your skin? The problem: Your skin barrier the wall of cells and fat that keeps moisture in and irritants out is probably impaired and, as a result, unable to retain water. Other Sahara-skin factors: age (if you're over 40, your body is probably producing less of its own oil), genetics (predisposing some people to dryness, allergies, and severe skin irritation like eczema), or skin-care mistakes (like too-aggressive cleansing).
Your plan: You can't boost your own natural-oil production, but the good news is you can repair your barrier, says Wechsler. That will help you hold on to moisture and oil and you'll look younger in the process.
To do:
- Follow the moisturizing advice suggested for the middle-of-the-road group, with one big difference: Choose products with heavy-duty hydration properties, and use them more frequently. A rich cream provides the ingredients your skin barrier lacks (like fatty acids, ceramides, and cholesterol); apply it at least three times daily.
Try: Nivea Q10 Advanced Wrinkle Reducer Night Cream ($11). - Moisturize your body (not just your face) with the same types of rich ingredients mentioned above. "You can't overmoisturize if you're in this group," says Baumann. And since you probably haven't had acne in years, don't shy away from oils, says Jaliman.
Try: Dove Pro-Age Body Cream Oil ($7) or Decléor Aromessence Nourishing Concentrate ($62).
Tip: Prevent irritation that can leave behind lasting spots by moisturizing any area where you feel the urge to scratch. - Be wary of bar soaps, foaming or gel cleansers, and toners, all of which can be drying. Instead, use soap-free products to keep your skin's moisture level intact.
Try: Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser ($11). - Coat your driest parts (like soles of feet, where skin is three to five times thicker than on the rest of your body) with a thick, even greasy, cream as often as possible.
Try: Curél Targeted Therapy Deep-Penetrating Foot Cream ($8). Tip: Apply cream and cover feet in plastic wrap and socks overnight.
5 Commandments of Great Skin
- Keep your moisturizers in plain sight. That way, you'll remember to use them quickly, before your face and body are completely dry.
- Eat some "good fat," even if you're on a diet. Skip unhealthy saturated fats (like butter) and reach for foods with essential fatty acids (like those found in salmon, nuts, flaxseed, and avocados). These healthy fats are core components of both lipids and sebum (your body's natural oils), says California-based dermatologist Howard Murad, M.D. They are also said to calm inflamed skin. Aim to get two to four servings a day.
- Learn to love sunscreen year-round. Yes, you've heard it before. Now your skin wants you to listen. Solar rays disrupt the skin's barrier and decrease its ability to moisturize naturally. Enough said.
- Be a teetotaler. Many moisturizers contain fatty alcohols that are good for your skin, but the same can't be said for alcohol that comes in a bottle. Avoid its dehydrating, dulling effects by limiting yourself to two to three drinks a week.
- Drink your H2O and retain it. "What matters is the water you keep, not the water you drink," says Murad, meaning that if your skin cells can't hold on to the water you consume, you could drink a lake and it wouldn't help. Strengthen your skin cells with nutrients like lecithin (in egg yolks and walnuts) and glucosamine (from a supplement); boost hydration by eating more water-rich fruits and veggies.

Home > News, Media and Events > NCUA Chooses CO-OP Financial Services to Acquire Online, Mobile Bill Pay Services of U.S. Central Bridge
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (December 15, 2011) – The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) has chosen CO-OP Financial Services, based in Rancho Cucamonga, California, to pursue the acquisition of the online and mobile bill payment services of Corporate Network eCom, LLC, a subsidiary of U.S. Central Bridge Corporate Federal Credit Union.
NCUA selected CO-OP as a result of a competitive bidding process for U.S. Central Bridge operations conducted in October. CO-OP is a cooperative of more than 3,000 credit unions across the country.
"Today's action is another important step toward the goal of winding down U.S. Central Bridge," said NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz. "In implementing the corporate resolution plan, NCUA has successfully continued payment services to consumer credit unions without interruption, and managed to the lowest possible long-term cost. The selection of CO-OP is also consistent with our preference, wherever feasible, to find solutions within the credit unions system. This deal achieves all of these objectives."
NCUA is the independent federal agency created by the U.S. Congress to regulate, charter and supervise federal credit unions. With the backing of the full faith and credit of the United States, NCUA operates and manages the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, insuring the deposits of more than 99 million account holders in all federal credit unions and the overwhelming majority of state-chartered credit unions. At MyCreditUnion.gov and Pocket Cents, NCUA also educates the public on consumer protection and financial literacy issues.

Rocket displays, a suicide bomber tribute ... one wonders what the gift shop will offer.
MLITA, Lebanon — A young boy ducks under a barricade to have his photo taken next to an Israeli tank. A father puts his baby daughter's hand on the trigger of a piece of artillery. A Shiite sheikh, in full religious dress, strolls past a map of "Occupied Palestine." Two women silently sob at the site where former Hezbollah leader Abbas al-Musawi, now dead, was said to have prayed.
It's opening day at Hezbollah's war museum in the southern Lebanese town of Mlita.
Museum construction isn't finished yet — workers are still putting a cafeteria together and the gift shop lies empty — but Hezbollah officials opened it anyway to mark the 10-year anniversary of Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon.
"The Israeli forces occupied those hills," said museum tour guide Abu Ahmed, who said he was under orders not to give his full name. "The hurricane of the resistance attacked the eight Israeli teams and drove them into the abyss."
In fact, the museum's centerpiece is an exhibit called "The Abyss." It's a cratered area, surrounded by a ramp for visitors, covered with overturned Israeli tanks and leftover Israeli munitions.
Planning for the museum began in 2006. It now sits on a hilltop that served as a main staging ground for Hezbollah operations against Israel.
On opening day recently, the museum was jammed with supporters of the militant group. Many carried green and white Hezbollah flags. Others wore Hezbollah hats. Traffic was clogged a mile down the country road with cars of revelers.
"Today is the liberation day," said Abu Ahmed, referring to the national holiday marking the anniversary of the Israeli withdrawal, "like the Fourth of July!"
Behind "The Abyss," visitors are welcome to walk through the forested area where Hezbollah forces based their operations against Israel. Wandering down the path, visitors see a mock up of a Hezbollah field hospital, a tribute to suicide bombers, and an elaborate cave system where fighters lived, prayed, and planned operations.
Another exhibit was designed to show off the extent of Hezbollah's arsenal, with rocket launchers and anti-tank systems on display.
For Lebanon's beleaguered south, which has been on the front lines of wars, both civil and international, for generations, this was a rare day of celebration. The set up of the museum fed that sense of festiveness, showing off the might of the militant group that is a pariah in the eyes of many in the West.
"I feel proud because what's done here is for the sake of the people living here," said one visitor, Mohammed Jammoul, standing in front of a poster with the images of Israel's leadership. "Israel is our enemy. We dream of hitting her with every single weapon we have."
The museum displays paint a picture of Hezbollah as a powerful fighting force, rather than a scrappy militia. In many ways, Hezbollah has matured since the days when it would launch small-scale missions against the Israeli military in the 1990s. Along with its allies, it is now a dominant force in Lebanon's electoral politics. Hezbollah leaders can be heard often on television bragging about the increased reach of the group's arsenal.
There is little mention of the great imbalance that still exists between Israeli military capabilities and Hezbollah's more modest abilities.
Despite a celebratory air, the museum opened with the threat of renewed violence hanging heavily over the event.

{Real Wedding} Cassie & Bennet: Intimate Backyard DIY Wedding + Carnival-Themed Reception (Part 1)
Happy Monday! I know not everyone gets excited for Mondays, but I love them because I usually have a lovely wedding to share with you, and today I have one of my favorite weddings EVER. It's so fabulous and there are so many great details and images that I'm sharing it in two parts. Today is the sweet and small backyard ceremony the couple had for just family and close friends, and tomorrow will be the fantastic carnival-themed reception with the best DIY details you've ever seen!

{Planning Tips} 5 Traditions You Can (or Should) Skip
Traditions can be great, but not all wedding traditions are necessary, or even meaningful, in today's weddings. The thing that is important in a tradition is that it means something to you. So don't do the traditional wedding vows if they hold no personal meaning for you – write your own! Or if your father isn't in your life for whatever reason, don't feel like you have to have someone give you away. You do the things that feel right and make you happy on your wedding day.
Here are some old traditions that no one miss, and a couple that I think are outdated and awkward.
1. Having a Bride's Side and a Groom's Side
While the idea of having your friends and family on your "side" doesn't bother me (at least you'll know where to look for your peeps) I also love the idea of letting people sit wherever they want for your ceremony. And it eliminates the need for ushers, which I also think are totally unnecessary (also unnecessary: guestbook attendants.) Read More
{Planning Tips} I'm Engaged! Now What? The Five Things To Do First
Welcome to our first official Planning Tips feature (although I have done many planning tips features in the past, they just weren't "official" per this new schedule I'm trying out). I'm really excited to do this weekly feature, because I feel like as a former bride and wedding blogger I can really help with some of the logistical, practical, planning type of things that the newly engaged have no idea about. I know I didn't! And I'm also taking reader questions, so if you have a problem or a planning question you need help with, please leave a comment or email me and I'll try to answer it during one of these weekly features. First up, I'm sharing the five things you should do first when you get engaged.
{one} set a budget
After you call your parents and friends to share the news and celebrate your newly engaged bliss, the first thing you need to do is set a budget. This will determine everything else you do, decide on, and choose. Are you paying for the wedding yourselves or will your parents contribute? How much will be contributed? The best thing you can do is figure this out before anything else, and then stick to your budget. Read More

Speaking of broadcast indecency... remember the bill that jacked up indecency fines tenfold, to $325,000 per incident? The bill the president signed a year ago with such fanfare? The one the FCC pushed for so breathlessly in its quest for toothier enforcement? Turns out the commission wasn't so breathless when it came to updating its own rulebook: As recently as June 3, the FCC still hadn't changed the maximum per-incident fine at $32,500. It wasn't until June 4, the day a federal court reversed the commission's ruling on "fleeting expletives", that the FCC officially published the order implementing the rule change. So what gives? "This was a procedural matter that was handled in due course," said an FCC spokesman.

661's slim-fit design is small and thin allowing riders to wear it under pants, jerseys, and gloves. The abrasion-resistant materials and forms developed to withstand scuffs and scrapes with minimal wear.
Not the most comfortable but they are priced good and will protect your elbows well if you go down. I suggest wearing a long sleeve shirt under them because, like mentioned in another review, the Velcro straps slide off the little neoprene under straps they are supposed to ride on and dig the heck out of your skin in the pit of your elbows. 3 stars for comfort, other than that they do their job at protecting you.
I've been a XC biker for many years and always thought elbow and knee pads were for downhillers. After one to many crashes, I got real tired of not being to bend my elbow after a crash which really puts a damper on the beer drinking. These were affordable an comfortable. John says get these, your elbows will thank you.
I recieved these and they fit fine. They are a bit hard, so its not going to give you the movement you'd get riding without them. However I would take that since the padding looks like it will save my elbows.
I bought these last season and while they provide excellent protection, they are extremely uncomfortable. There is a large hole in between the straps on the inside of the pads. Initially, before you attach the velcro straps, the pads are pretty comfortable, but when you strap the pads on you lose pretty much all maneuverability. The velcro straps slip off the straps that hold the pad on and rub against and pinch the inside crease of your elbow causing scrapes and weird bruising on the sensitive skin. They do provide good protection, but the lack of comfort has me looking elsewhere...

My wife is about 14 weeks pregnant before we found out I had suspicion that she had been seeing another man. When we found out she was pregnant, she began to have issues related to the pregnancy which landed her in the hospital. I have wanted to confront her about this but I don't want her to lose the baby, mine or not.
I am not saying that I will be the father or dad to another man's child because I will not. I am left feeling like a jerk because I can't take an interest in the pregnancy or the baby because of this. I feel used and I can't get an answer to a question that I am afraid to ask.

Colorado bill would allow drivers to use smartphone to show proof of insurance during traffic stops
No insurance card? No problem, if state lawmakers approve House Bill 1159.
Introduced last week, the measure would allow Colorado drivers to use their smartphone or other electronic device to show proof of insurance during a traffic stop.
"If you forgot to put that little card in your car but you happen to have your insurer's mobile app or you have an electronic copy of your evidence of insurance, you can then use that as your evidence of insurance," said Kelly Campbell, vice president of government relations for the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America, a trade association.
"Currently the way Colorado law is written, even if you have that, even if you could show the officer, legally they could not accept that as your proof of insurance because the law requires it to be a written proof of insurance," she said.
Existing rules, however, do allow Colorado residents to use digital insurance cards when registering their vehicles with the Department of Motor Vehicle. The measure would extend that to accidents and traffic stops.
It comes at a time when many experts are predicting that smartphones will become digital wallets, eliminating the need to carry cash, credit cards and paper identification.
Nationwide trend
More than 20 states are considering electronic proof of insurance coverage legislation this year, according to PCI.
Rep. Paul Rosenthal, D-Denver, is primary sponsor of HB 1159, and Senators Lois Tochtrop, D-Thornton, and David Balmer, R-Centennial, are co-sponsors.
Insurance providers such as State Farm have released smartphone apps that include insurance information, which can be used as electronic proof. PDF certificates can also be used as digital evidence of coverage.
If an officer accidentally drops your phone while checking coverage, you're out of luck, under the measure.
"The law enforcement officer to whom the operator presents the device, and any law enforcement agency that employs the officer, are immune from any civil damages resulting from the officer dropping or otherwise unintentionally damaging the cell phone or other electronic device," the bill states.

Hello guys, I've started to play one or two dominion games and I feel like it is much more friendly (and therefore more fun) than regular SR, especially ranked. You can lock in any character, nobody complains, and nobody cares if they win or lose! Why is that?
Because you're starting out fresh. Don't worry, the eventual weight of having to pick to account for overpowered characters on the enemy team in blind pick will eventually catch up with you. Do try to have fun in the meantime. I'd personally recommend trying out supports like Sona, Soraka and Lulu. They're very fun (and strong!) when they have a full pot of gold like everybody else.
It's a combination of a lot of things that help Dominion feel less toxic. The reduced significance of picking "roles", the shortened game length (making it not feel as bad if you lose, since you didn't spend 40+ minutes in game), the quickened game pace, the abundance of gold... I don't necessarily share your view of "nobody cares if they win or lose". That isn't generally true, but the impact a loss has on you in Dominion is significantly less than in SR.
people can be toxic in this game but it's alot less common. i don't care whether i win or lose and if i do bad then oh well. that's why i play it.
Stark Midnight
I think its less toxic because the games are shorter, in SR you have games lasting almost an hour, people spam surrendering, and the stress of ranked. Imagine losing 3 SR games in a row thats like 2 hours of wasted time. The reason why alot of league players seem as if they are bipolar.
Kills are also worth a lot less in Dominion due to the reduced gold they give and the massive ambient gold/experience gain, plus you don't have to worry about "missing" cs when you're dead. In SR, people make a big deal about dying, especially early on, and that tends to lead to a more negative environment because if you die that tends to cost you a LOT. In Dom dying is still a bad thing, but it doesn't necessarily mean the end of the world (or lane) like it does in SR, and that makes the place friendlier overall.
Unstable Fury
Drastic comebacks are also a lot more likely in DM than in SR or TT, so not getting down on your team has more value in DM than in the other modes.
Dunno toxic players are everywhere, particularly at low elos, yesterday i got a shen thrash talking a MF and a Lee sin over KDa, score and kill stealing, he did regret being mean and apologized though once he realized thrash talking only wasted time on a gamemode where every precious second is needed, However as you advance in Elo (yes DOminon has an Elo (albeit Hidden), you'll find people far more intersted in palying and growing the community than thrash talking also: Score is useless. edit: also most of Dominion toxicity comes from players with SR "mainmode" DGAF attittudes mindset anyways once you advance in the Dominion ELo ladder the number of ragers and toxic players you get is greatly diminished. as Opposed To Sr where Higher the Elo, higher the rage. Aslo you ahve to keep in mind that even the kindest players will have their bad days and can be moody from time to time as a result Dominion players are not ecent form that.
kassadin. once you climb elo a bit you will see there is a meta and people do care about dominion.. it doesnt stay that care free forever.

"When I was 12, I cofounded Georgia Kids Against Pollution. The first thing we did was make posters. Then we went to Savannah and did a little protest and held a press conference. It was nerve-racking! There were police, reporters, a television camera. But after I got over the first nerves, it was a smooth ride. We talked about carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and mercury pollution. Maybe we didn't know as much as we should have, but we knew it wasn't right to pollute our communities and that's what we said. ŇAfter that, I was invited to Johannesburg, South Africa, for the World Summit on Sustainable Development. At 13, I was the youngest delegate. I talked from a youth point of view about sustainability and how we can achieve it.
"Right now I'm working on Coca-Cola and its water practices in India. In two places, Mehdiganj and Plachimada, villagers accuse Coke of pumping groundwater— dangerously lowering the water table — and then selling it back to the villagers in bottles as Coke, Fanta, and water. I consider this a U.S. issue because I live near Atlanta and that's where Coca-Cola is headquartered. To have an effect you have to change people's minds where you live, help them see what's going on.
"I play sports and go to the movies. I do the regular things. I guess it's just that I have more opportunities than a lot of my friends, so I feel like I have to take advantage of them. There are so many problems in the world. I just hope to work hard enough to make a change that has some substance and relevance and can affect the world in a positive way." — interview by Marilyn Berlin Snell

Miss Nevada May Lose Her Crown Because Of Facebook Picture In Which She Simulated Giving Ron Jermey Oral Sex
Las Vegas -Reigning Miss Nevada USA Jade Kelsall's crown could be in jeopardy over a raunchy photograph posted on her Facebook page. The photo, posted Thursday, shows a young woman at a bar embracing porn legend Ron Jeremy and simulating an oral sex act. Two sources who saw the photo identified the woman in the photo as Kelsall, who finished third runner-up in Donald Trump's Miss USA contest in June at Planet Hollywood Resort. According to their Twitter feeds, they were in Los Angeles, where Kelsall was competing in an audition in a "MasterChef" Season 4 show featuring chef Gordon Ramsay. It's the latest sexually charged scandal involving a Miss USA contestant.
I don't even know what we're talking about here. Miss Nevada faked giving Ron Jeremy a blowjob in a photo? What the fuck else are you supposed to do in a photo with Ron Jeremy? I think my mother would do that. That's just what you do when you take a photo with a porn legend. I mean it's not like we're talking about Miss Utah here. This is fucking Miss Vegas. Anything short of getting photographed with a dick in her ass while she rips blow off a counter is fair game in my book.
PS – I think I've said this before but I absolutely love how the Las Vegas Journal Review guy has an eyepatch. It works on every level.

May 16th 2011 8:03PM If they were to add a tanking/healing role to the pure classes, mages and warlocks would have to be given the healing specs, because they are the only ones to use mana.
I could see Arcane modified into a healing spec, using pure magic and possibly even time shenanigans to prevent and restore magic. Warlocks wouldn't make as much sense, as I wouldn't want to be healed by either *affliction* or *destruction* and I'm not sure how demonology could be modified to heal.
Rogues and hunters could tank, and already can to some extent. Combat and Beast Mastery (ie Rexxar) are even good fits thematically, but would have issues converting even so- how would a rogue take damage? Would they end up a cooldown class (see Wrath launch DK)? Would the hunter tank, or the pet?
However, none of this matters, because I wouldn't want this anyway, and in any case I'm pretty certain that they wouldn't do something this drastic.

May 9th 2011 1:22PM An interesting note about the four "elements" is that although we have since found out they are not true elements, they *are* different phases of matter- solid, liquid, and gas. Normal flame isn't hot enough to be plasma (it's simply glowing due to heat), but lightning is.

May 9th 2011 12:10AM The fact the Scythe is made from Goldrinn's Fang (and a staff embued with Elune's power), is completely awesome. It makes so much sense, where before I was wondering why Night Elves would have a scythe at all, especially one with Elune's name.

May 9th 2011 12:07AM The Gilneans got bitten when Arugal was researching for a way to combat the Scourge. He turned to the Book of Ur, written by a Dalaran mage who had found a monstrous race in a "different world."
Arugal found out how to summon these creatures, and it worked well to fight off the Scourge, but then the beasts turned on the Gilnean people and bit them, as they were no longer calmed by the tree. This is where the Gilnean Worgen come from.

May 8th 2011 10:38PM I agree with Salhet. A tol'vir who's a misfit as a warrior, but with some ingenuity proves to be a better warrior than all of them... just not on the front lines.

May 8th 2011 1:51PM Does this remind anyone else of Gargoyles? Blackmoore totally looks like Xanatos, and if you gave Thrall wings and he could totally be Goliath.

Top seed Venus Williams eased into the second round of the Brasil Tennis Cup with a straight-sets win over Mirjana Lucic-Baroni of Croatia.
The American, now back in the world's top 20, was particularly dominant on serve as she claimed a 6-3 6-3 victory.
It could have been easier for Williams, though, as Lucic-Baroni fought back from 5-0 down in the second to 5-3, saving seven match points in the process.
"At 5-0 I was a little too confident and maybe playing a little too relaxed, but she also started playing really well and really aggressive on those match points," Williams told wtatennis.com.
"She brought out her best tennis. It showed a lot of character from her. It's easy to give up when you're down 5-0, but she did really well to make it closer in the end. I knew it was just a matter of time before I got it, though."
Not all the seeds in action had it so easy as number three Kirsten Flipkens of Holland lost 2-6 6-4 6-4 to Olga Puchkova.
There were no such problems for fifth seed Magdalena Rybarikova or number seven Kristina Mladenovic, though, as they beat Kimiko Date-Krumm and Anne Keothavong respectively in straight sets.
There were also first-round wins for Garbine Muguruza, Tatjana Malek, Timea Babos and local wildcard Beatriz Haddad Maia.
There was an upset in the day's only second-round match, as Jana Cepelova beat eighth seed Annika Beck 7-6 (8/6) 6-4.
