Municipal Credit Union has been serving the financial needs of our members since 1916. The credit union was chartered in response to the concern of New York City Mayor, John Purroy Mitchel, who wanted city employees to have a way to save at reasonable rates and a low cost borrowing alternative to loan sharks.
MCU started out with one branch in the Municipal building using handwritten ledgers. At the end of the first year, nineteen charter account holders had combined deposits of $570. Today, we have 16 branches, more than 350,000 members and over $2.0 billion in assets.
Build lifetime quality financial relationships with each member by providing competitive products and excellent service.
A credit union is a not-for-profit financial institution cooperatively owned by its members. Credit Unions focus on serving members, rather than on maximizing profit. Earnings go back to members in the form of more favorable rates and fewer and lower fees for products and services. Credit Unions offer many of the same products and services offered by other financial institutions, like checking and savings accounts, personal, auto and mortgage loans, credit cards, direct deposit, online and mobile banking, and ATM networks.
Customers of credit unions are called "members". Members of a credit union own and control the institution. The Board of Directors and Supervisory Committee of a credit union are composed of uncompensated, volunteer members. Only members can serve on the Board of Directors or Supervisory committee, or vote in annual elections. Member savings accounts are federally insured up to $250,000 and IRA accounts are separately insured up to $250,000 by the NCUA (National Credit Union Administration), a US Government Agency. The share insurance provided by the NCUA is similar to the deposit insurance coverage that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) offers to banks.
To join a credit union, you must belong to the "field of membership" that it serves. The field of membership is the common link that all members of a credit union share and it can be based on:
Joining a credit union can be as easy as opening a Share (savings) Account with as little as $5.00

WASHINGTON — Construction delays at Aurora's new Veterans Administration hospital cost the federal government almost $500 million more than budgeted, the General Accountability Office says in a report issued this week.
The VA is under fire for delays in construction projects across the country, including Aurora.
Nationwide, delays and contract glitches increased the costs of new hospitals and rehabilitation centers $1.5 billion more than the VA originally estimated in costs, the GAO found.
Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, who chairs the House Veteran Subcommittee for Oversight and Investigations, called the problems unacceptable.
"Providing veterans medical care is a core function of the VA," Coffman said. "When the VA does health care right, it can be second to none. However, the process VA employs to build its health care facilities is abysmal, and the result leads to delays for much needed care to veterans."
Construction of the 182-bed hospital at Anschutz Medical Campus is more than a year late in its estimated completion time.
It was budgeted to cost $328 million, and construction was to be completed by February 2014. Instead, it will cost $800 million and be finished in April 2015.
The day before Veteran's Day in 2011, Rep. Ed Perlmutter, a Democrat from Jefferson County, angrily threatened a protest at the stalled construction site in Aurora. At the zero hour, the White House figured out the contract glitch and promised to start construction.
"Not only is VA building facilities over budget and late, but it is also failing to pay the contractors for their work in a timely manner," Coffman said.
Several contractors have not been paid for their work at VA construction projects nationwide, including Aurora, the GAO and Coffman's office found.

bertazzoni opinions
I'm beginning the process of a total kitchen remodel and have been looking at a Bertazzoni 36" Heritage series total gas range. It has euorpean convect and self clean. I am dazzled by it! It appears to be solidly contstructed and it's so pretty! However I'm not too sure about its preformance. I have read some older posts but nothing recent. I don't personally know anyone who has one. Anyone out there who could give a reccomendation? If you own one what do you like about it, what don't you like? I would appreciate comments. Thanks -
I recently posted this one...very up to date. Though I don't have the euro version or self clean. Hope this helps.
Here is a link that might be useful: Bert review
It's pretty, but underpowered for a "pro-style" range. There are plenty with more firepower available if searing or wokking is important to you. If you'd rather just stare at a pretty face while microwaving a Lean Cuisine, then it's a good choice.

... and no poisonous insects or arachnids. It shares the same latitude as Paris and Seattle. St. John's is also the home of North America's oldest annual sporting event, the Royal St. John's Regatta, a sailing race that dates back to 1816.
What did we miss? Something unique. We were to dock at pier 10/11 in the heart of downtown St. John with a walk of only 200 yards. There is no cruise terminal. This would have been a unique ...

(Sandi - if you're interested, I have some good recommendations!) We both agreed that the beauty of the land is matched only by the spirit of its people.

A day in the life of Jess... (and the Hen's party)

We read, ate veggies, ate donuts, hung washing for Julia, read some more and Fliss snoozed on the couch. I think we'll make the most of this while it lasts, apparently there's a hike planned for tommorow, we need to conserve energy!

On the TV today it said -9 degrees. I really felt it when I went for my walk this afternoon. I did only have my 1/2 gloves on. My face was so cold I could hardly speak. Still enjoying the ...

Automatic sync vs manual management by content type
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: Is it possible to auto-sync or manually manage by content type or does it have to be one way for everything?
- Joshua
A: The answer to this is actually a bit complicated, since iTunes groups certain content types together for synchronization purposes while other types of content are handled separately.
Specifically, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books (both iBooks and audiobooks) and Ringtones are treated as a single content group. These can be synced automatically or managed manually, but you basically have to choose one method or the other for everything. In other words, you cannot manage your movies manually while automatically syncing your music.
Each of the other types of content—Apps, Podcasts, iTunes U, Photos and Info (Contacts/Calendars/Bookmarks/Notes)—can only be synchronized automatically and are handled independently of any other content type. If enabled, these categories of content will continue to be synchronized automatically regardless of whether you're managing your Music/Movies/TV Shows/etc manually or not.
Note that iTunes 10 added the ability to drag-and-drop most content types directly to an iPod, iPhone or iPad even if you're using automatic synchronization for that content. For manually added music, a separate Manually Added Songs section will appear at the bottom of the Music settings screen for your device, showing a list of songs that have been manually added and an option to remove individual items from there.
For all other content types that support this feature—basically everything except for Photos and Info—the manually added items will simply be enabled for synchronization on the appropriate settings screen, making the drag-and-drop feature essentially just a shortcut for going to the sync settings and selecting the item(s) manually.
It's also worth noting that this separation of content types also allows different categories of content to be synced with different computers. Although the main media content group—Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books and Ringtones—must all be synced together from a single iTunes library (or managed manually), other types can be each individually synced from additional computers. For example, you could sync your media content from a personal home computer, sync photos from a second family computer and sync apps and info from a work PC. The breakdown of content categories and groupings is as follows:
- Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books, Ringtones—sync, manual, or none
- Apps—sync or none
- Podcasts—sync or none
- iTunes U—sync or none
- Photos—sync or none
- Info (Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Notes)—sync or none
Normally disabling sync for a given category will remove all of the content in that category from your device, however the last two categories—Photos and Info—are exceptions to this; when disabling sync in these cases you will be given the option to leave the content on your device or remove it.
Also keep in mind that all of this only applies to syncing content from iTunes, as opposed to using iTunes Match for your Music or wirelessly syncing info such as calendars and contacts. Music can no longer be synced directly from an iTunes library once iTunes Match has been enabled on an iOS device, and the automatic vs manual options therefore no longer apply to music in this case. If you are syncing your calendars and contacts wirelessly via iCloud or another cloud service, you can still synchronize calendar or contact information via iTunes as well however this will transfer to your device as a separate set of calendars and contacts, independently of your cloud-based data.

Cleveland named one of two finalists to host 2016 Republican National Convention
Originally Published:
June 25, 2014 2:15 PM
Modified: June 25, 2014 5:10 PM
And then there were two. And Cleveland is one of them.
The Republican National Committee on Wednesday, June 25, said it
to two cities — Cleveland and Dallas — its list for possible hosts of the 2016 GOP convention. Denver and Kansas City were eliminated.
It's a big prize that Cleveland has been fighting hard to win, as the convention is expected to bring more than 50,000 visitors to the city that's chosen and generate hundreds of millions of dollars in economic activity.
The RNC 2016 Site Selection Committee spent two days in Cleveland earlier this month reviewing venues, hospitality, security and transportation options.
The committee met this morning to review what it learned from site visits to Cleveland and the three other finalist cities.
Following the meeting, site selection committee chairwoman Enid Mickelsen issued the following statement:
"After extensive review the site selection committee has chosen Cleveland and Dallas as finalists for the 2016 convention. Cleveland and Dallas demonstrated their ability to host a phenomenal convention in 2016, and the RNC is excited about the prospect of hosting our convention in either of these great cities. After visiting both cities, I can say to my fellow Republicans that we should be excited for the 2016 convention. These world class cities know how to roll out the welcome mat, and more importantly they have the ability to provide our next presidential nominee a launching pad that will put a Republican in the White House in 2016.
The committee extends our sincere thanks and gratitude to Denver and Kansas City for their hard work and dedication to this effort. Both teams should be proud of their work. They were great ambassadors for their cities, and we felt fortunate to visit and get to know them. This was a tough decision for our committee because all four of these cities made excellent bids.
"As we move closer to choosing a host for our convention, I'm more confident than ever that we'll have an outstanding partner to showcase our Party and our Republican nominee in 2016."
A final decision from the full Republican National Committee is expected during a meeting in Chicago in August. The committee expects the host city to come up with $50 million to $55 million to pull off the event — an amount Cleveland 2016 Host Committee Inc., the group working to bring the event to Cleveland, says it is capable of reaching.
When he was in Cleveland earlier this month, Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said the convention likely would start on either June 27 or July 18, 2016. The event will bring 40,000 delegates and visitors, and 15,000 media personnel.
If the Republicans don't work out, Cleveland still could be a 2016 political convention city.
Democrats in early June announced that six cities, including Cleveland, will vie to host the party's presidential convention in 2016. Also in the running are Columbus, Philadelphia, New York, Phoenix and Birmingham, Ala.
The Plain Dealer
that Democrats announced today that they will send a technical advisory team to Cleveland and the five other cities. The site visits will begin next month and conclude by early September.
The Democrats' decision on a convention city might not come until early 2015.

Protecting an open Internet and encouraging investment
The Internet has been called the fundamental infrastructure of the 21st century. Policies that advance building out/upgrading of our high-speed networks are expanding union jobs in the industry, providing affordable access and digital capabilities for American households and businesses.
The FCC is proposing new rules to protect the open Internet, but some advocacy groups want to fundamentally alter how we access and use it. They want to put the Internet under regulations created in the 1930s for the telephone industry and treat it as a utility service similar to power, roads and drinking water. It's not hard to anticipate the long-term consequences of locking the Internet into outdated regulation.
We don't need regulation that relegates the Internet to the status of a utility. What we need is a balance between protecting an open Internet and encouraging investment to upgrade broadband networks and create jobs.
-- Robert Longer, Executive Vice President & Legislative-Political Director, Communications Workers of America Local 9421, Sacramento

Salvia indica - again
I'm growing this salvia again after a couple of failed attempts over the past almost decade. I hope I've learned how to keep the plant alive so I can see its fabulous flowers. The seeds came from Robin, thanks! I got 100% germination on 3 seeds.
Good germination. Never ever over-water the seedlings/young plants, they appreciate a fairly dry and warm environment. You may not get flowers until the 2nd year. Always protect this from slugs and snails! Good luck with this, the flowers are gorgeous, if only for a short time.
Thank you for your guidance.
How does one tell when to water them? Wait for a visual cue such as visible wilting before watering the container?
Did you withhold fertilizing them as well?
In overwintering them, did you reduce the frequency of watering to ? until warm weather arrived in spring?
Thanks for helping me if you are able.
Don't wait until the plant wilts, just feel the surface of the soil and the weight of the pots.
I never fertilise this Salvia as it thrives in poor soil!
In autumn (fall) the plants will die back and should resprout from underground in early spring. Only water occasionally in winter.
Good luck!
Thanks for the information Robin.I appreciate your sharing your experiences with this species.
Help me understand how to prepare a poor soil. It would appear indica would be happy in a sandy well draining potting mix. How would I go about preparing a potting mix that would give the best chance for good growth and survival? It's funny but you can't pop over to the garden center and ask for a bag of potting mix to meet this plant's needs.

Zeta Cassiopeiae (ζ Cas, ζ Cassiopeiae) is a star in the constellation Cassiopeia. It has a blue-white hue and is classified as a B-type subgiant with an apparent magnitude of +3.67. It is approximately 590 light years from Earth.[1]
ζ Cas is a member of an unusual group of variable stars known as "Slowly Pulsating B" (SPB) stars.[10] It shows a pulsation frequency of 0.64 per day (or once every 1.56 days) and displays a weak magnetic field with a strength of roughly 3.35 × 10−2 T, which varies with a period of 5.37 days.[11] This likely matches the rotation rate of the star, which, when combined with the low projected rotational velocity, indicates the star may be seen nearly pole-on. Zeta Cassiopeiae is a candidate magnetic Bp star that shows an overabundance of helium. The star contains a randomly oriented fossil magnetic field, which impacts the outflow of the stellar wind. Collisions between streams from this stellar wind creates a shock front, with cooling particles settling toward a co-rotating disk.[12]
Chinese name[edit]
In Chinese astronomy, Zeta Cassiopeiae is called 附路, Pinyin: Fùlù, meaning Auxiliary Road, because this star is marking itself and stand alone in Auxiliary Road asterism, Legs (mansion) (see : Chinese constellation).[13] 附路 (Fùlù) is westernized into Foo Loo, but the name Foo Loo was designated not only for Zeta Cassiopeiae, but also for η Cassiopeiae (Achird) by R.H. Allen, with the meaning is "a by-path" [14]

Trend Rating TBC
Ran a valiant race in the 2014 Grand National, defying his lack of experience and carrying a high weight of 11-5 to finish 5th. This 8-year old is likely to hurtle up our trend ratings for 2015, coming off a great win at Kempton in February and could be a big contender if his connections have a plan to target the National.

Unioniste 20/1

The odds on Paul Nicholls trained Unioniste tumbled after a good win at Sandown was followed up with a third place in the Betfair Denman Chase at Newbury. He's also won twice at Aintree, but the fact remains it's been over 75 years since a horse this young has won the Grand National.

Pineau De Re 22/1

It looks like our 2014 Grand National winner will be back to defend in 2015 but will carry an extra 8lbs and has shown little form this season to instill confidence. That said 3 of the last 4 Grand National winners who have come back for another go the following year finished in the first six home.

Back In Focus 22/1
This poor horse has no luck! Won the National Hunt Chase at the 2013 Cheltenham Festival before injury kept him off the track for 22 months. Made his come back at Navan in February but subsequently broke a cheek-bone and an eye-socket in his box and his connections think he's doubtful for Aintree.

Godsmejudge 25/1
Trend Rating TBC
Won the 2013 Scottish National and finished 2nd at Ayr last year after an injury disrupted preparation led to his late withdrawal from the Grand National field.

Wins at Cheltenham and Aintree in the final two months of 2014 suggest this Paul Nicholls trained 8 year old is on a roll, but he has been heavily weighted at 11-8 and his connections may target the Cheltenham Gold Cup instead.

Ran home a creditable 7th in the 2013 Grand National so we know he can get around can get around the 30 Aintree fences. Moved from Jo Hughes to David Pipe in 2014 and the move seems to have worked wonders with wins at Exeter and Newbury in February.

On my personal shortlist for the last two editions of the Grand National, he finished 3rd in 2013 but made an uncharacteristic jumping error at the Chair last year. It looks like he'll be back for a 3rd go in 2015 but has his best chance already gone?

A former Welsh National winner who was well fancied for last years Grand National, but always seemed looked little off the pace in coming home 7th. He's in good form this season, placing in the Hennessy Gold Cup and the Welsh National, he's a big contender if the ground softens a bit.

Came home like a train to finish 4th in the 2014 Grand National giving jockey Paul Maloney an incredible sixth straight placed finish in the race. Had already shown his stamina by winning a 4 mile Grade 3 handicap chase at Cheltenham in November 2013, but not a lot of form to go on this season.

Another contender from Dr Richard Newland who trained 2014 winner Pineau De Re. This 9 year old has never fallen, refused or unseated his jockey in 29 starts (including point to points) and has mainly been primed over hurdles this season, winning his only start over fences at Sedgefield.

My name is Michelle Litchman. I am a doctoral student at the University of Utah College of Nursing. For my dissertation research I am examining online peer-to-peer health among individuals with diabetes. I am interested in knowing the relationship between the intensity to which someone is involved with TuDiabetes and their health. Currently, there is very little research about the Diabetes Online Community and peer-to-peer health.
I will be gathering data through a confidential survey that can be accessed online. The survey takes about 30 minutes to complete. Please link to the survey here. I will donate $2, up to $1000 maximum, to the Diabetes Hands Foundation for every survey that is completed.
Once the data has been analyzed, I will follow-up with the TuDiabetes community to share my findings. Thank you in advance for your participation.
Best Regards,

Thank you to everyone who participated in this study. I am scheduled to defend my dissertation on January 5th and will be sharing the results in a live interview with Mike Lawson early next year. I have written three manuscripts based on the results from this study and am pleased to announce that the first paper will be presented at Medicine 2.0 in the upcoming weeks. You can find a link to the abstract here: http://www.medicine20congress.com/ocs/index.php/med/med2014/paper/v...
Thank you again for your help with this important study on the DOC!

Congratulations Michelle and best wishes defending. I am looking forward to your live interview with Mike.
Wow, I didn't realize until I read back through the thread that the original post was from 2012!! It's neat to see something run through to it's conclusion. I guess the conclusions are not totally surprising but the "DOC members are often not informing their health care provider about their participation with the DOC suggesting that health care providers should be familiar with the DOC" bit is particularly interesting. I've mentioned "I hang out online" to doctors before and get a sort of blank expression on their faces. I haven't met with a CDE since 2008 (and, before that, since 1984...eek) so maybe that sort of appointment would be chattier and afford some opportunity to talk about it but the way the abstract reads, it sounds as if "we" are hiding it but, to me, it's more like medical providers don't understand the depth of some of the dialogues in which we participate. Still, the overall conclusions of the survey are interesting. I wonder what can be done to draw more folks into participating without as much of the "my A1C is _____" antlers, of which I suppose I'm guilty. Thanks for sharing your work Michelle and I hope I can make it to your presentation here!!
Kudos to you for being a pioneer in examining the connection between DOC involvement and outcomes. Obviously the surface has barely been scratched; this subject fairly cries out for more in-depth study. My personal hunch is that the correlation will prove to be strong, but a hunch is just that -- an unsubstantiated belief. As a relentless empiricist, my mantra is always "show me the data!"
As someone else commented, it's interesting that so many DOC habitués don't let their health care teams know about their participation. I'm afraid I probably tell my doctor about it to the point of boredom. :-)
Another thing I would like to know is just how broad and deep the health care profession's antipathy to the very idea of the DOC really is. I've heard many anecdotes suggesting that this prejudice is widespread, but as someone said, the plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence".

This Day in Jewish History / Jews ask Holy Roman Empire to upgrade them to citizens
That didn't work but the Germans did agree to rescind the discriminatory poll tax levied on Jews.
Text size
On November 15, 1802, a delegation of German Jews from the city of Frankfurt presented themselves at a meeting of ambassadors of the Holy Roman Empire, to ask to have their personal status, and that of their co-religionists, upgraded to that of citizens.
