In an attempt to insulate credit markets from the high-risk residential mortgage lending activities that threatened the global financial system in 2008, regulators both in the United States and elsewhere are seeking to impose stricter residential mortgage underwriting standards. Specifically, the U.S. Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act[1] ("Dodd-Frank") in part to create "Grade-A" designations for residential mortgage loans that meet stringent underwriting requirements and other criteria. Those loans may enjoy a presumption of compliance with certain federal laws, and some may also be exempt from economic risk retention requirements that will apply to other loans.
Meanwhile, the Financial Stability Board ("FSB"), an international body that monitors and makes recommendations about the global financial system, issued Principles for Sound Residential Mortgage Underwriting Practices[2] (the "FSB Principles" or the "Principles") for consideration by the FSB's participating jurisdictions.[3] While the Principles do not delve into the details of specific underwriting practices, even to the extent of Dodd-Frank, they do suggest a targeted approach to imposing stricter requirements.
As described below, while many agree on the end-goal of achieving tighter residential mortgage underwriting, the devil is in the details. The FSB, like the regulators in the U.S. and elsewhere, is struggling to define any actual standards or specific criteria for achieving that goal. That lack of clarity spooks creditors and investors in the residential mortgage market, and threatens the supply of available mortgage credit, particularly for first-time and low-income borrowers. Without clearer standards, lenders may shy away from making loans to anyone, particularly those with less than stellar credit. Moreover, without greater certainty with respect to assignee liability and risk retention requirements, secondary mortgage market participants may lose their appetite for purchasing or securitizing loans that do not meet the highest underwriting criteria.

Briley Hostas Story
The Hostas family glowed with joy at the birth of their first child, Briley. They could have never imagined their precious daughter would need blood transfusions for serious medical conditions not once, but twice, before she turned 5!
Life was great for the Hostas with lively, happy Briley who seemed healthy. But things changed quickly, and Briley was diagnosed with leukemia, a blood cancer. At age 3, she was hospitalized and needed blood from numerous donors as she battled for her life. In just three months' time, she required as much as six platelet transfusions.
"Each time Briley received the blood transfusions, we were just so thankful that there was blood ready and available for her," said John Hostas. Thankfully, the chemotherapy treatments seemed to be working.
But just a year later, the Hostas had another scare. In May 2012, they received a call that Briley and her grandmother had been in a terrible car accident. Briley's grandmother Gloria had taken Briley shopping when a semi-truck T-boned the car. Briley broke both of the femurs in her legs. Sadly, Gloria didn't survive the crash.
Once again, Briley and her family needed blood donors to help them through a crisis. Blood from four donors during Briley's two-week hospital stay helped her heal.
It's an understatement to say that Briley's leukemia and the car crash changed the way the Hostas family views blood donation.
"Neither one of us ever gave blood before Briley was diagnosed. We just didn't think about it," John said. "But now we give blood every time we can, because it really does save lives, including our little Briley's."
Briley completed her treatment for leukemia on March 30, 2013. Now at age seven, Briley is active and playful, ready to take on third grade.
"Without the Blood Institute, it is possible that Briley would not have received the blood she needed to stay alive," said John. "We are very thankful for all of the blood donors that take the time to go out, give and really make a difference."

How Blood Donors Saved My Life
by Erin Green, blood recipient
October 17, 2013 did not go as anyone had pictured it. It started as a day filled with anticipation and excitement as I was admitted to the labor and delivery floor to have our first child – a baby girl we named Georgia. It was the day after my due date, so she was actually quite punctual. After a pretty easy labor and a smooth delivery of our 8 pound, 8 ounce healthy baby girl, I began feeling ill. The medical staff equated it with a drop in my blood pressure and tilted my bed back to make me feel better, which worked initially. I had lost more blood than normal during the delivery, and it still seemed like there was something wrong. My doctor told me that I was continuing to bleed and she couldn't see where it was coming from, so we needed to go to the operating room (OR) to get a better look.
I ended up developing a very rare condition called disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) that kept my blood from clotting normally. DIC has a high mortality rate and is difficult to control. I lost over three liters of my own blood and was in the OR for more than 3 intense hours while numerous physicians, CRNAs, nurses and technicians worked to stop my bleeding. I received 12 units of blood, 6 units of fresh frozen plasma, and 2 units of platelets before I finally became stable and the bleeding was controlled. What had started as a happy, exciting day had ended in a roller coaster of emotions as my family waited to hear good news about my condition. The next morning I woke up intubated in the critical care unit where I stayed for two days before being able to move back to the labor and delivery floor with my husband and new baby girl. We stayed a total of 5 days in the hospital before we finally brought our little girl home with grateful hearts for the miracle that took place in our lives.
A few weeks after going home from the hospital I had the opportunity, along with my husband Todd and our daughter, to meet some employees from the Arkansas Blood Institute. I was able to thank them and to let them see, first hand, the benefits and changed lives that resulted from the work that they do every day. It was a humbling experience to say the least.
Unfortunately, I have to say that I've never donated blood in the past; however, the Arkansas Blood Institute has gained a lifelong blood donor after my experience. If it wasn't for blood, plasma, and platelet donors, the skilled medical staff wouldn't have had the resources they needed to save my life and my Georgia would've grown up without her mother. I cannot express the extent to which blood donors have affected our family's life. They kept our world from falling apart that day. Without them, I wouldn't be enjoying the blessing of becoming a mother to a healthy, happy little girl. Donating blood is such an easy way that each one of us can give back and change the lives of not only recipients but their loved ones as well. My daughter gets to know her mommy in part because a dozen people decided to donate blood.

All In: Donor Gives Blood and Estate
by Gary Lynch, director of Development & Sustainability
"I'm a platelet donor, but I don't feel at ease without a knife or fork," quipped James Hellams, OKC. His enthusiasm for our life-saving mission has driven him to give 71 gallons (and counting). That's about 568 times in a donor chair. That's plenty of time to become renowned as the 'class clown' of the central OKC donor center! Now, James is taking his commitment even further. He has designated Oklahoma Blood Institute as the sole beneficiary of his estate.
James has no immediate family, yet wants to be sure he leaves a legacy with the sizeable estate he has been fortunate enough to accumulate. James' faith has profoundly influenced his belief in the sanctity of life, and leaving his entire estate to Oklahoma Blood Institute manifests that belief.
Our Legacy Society honors financial contributors who include Oklahoma Blood Institute in their estate plans. James will be listed among these generous contributors. Learn about the various ways you can support our life-saving mission.

200 donations and counting
Ken Malone began donating blood as a freshman at the University of Arkansas in 1969. In the mid-nineties, he became a platelet donor. In January 2005, he moved to Oklahoma and began donating with Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI) at the Tulsa Donor Center where he has averaged twenty-two platelet donations a year. Both of Ken's parents, his mother-in-law, and two of his grandparents passed away of cancer, so he is acutely aware of the importance of platelets in the treatment of cancer. On March 5, 2014, Ken made his 200th donation.
Ken is Senior Manager of Telecommunications at AVIS Budget Car Rental Contact Center. Although he is not able to donate at his company's blood drives, he encourages his fellow employees to donate blood.
Some years ago Ken was going on a cruise. Before scheduling his cruise, he asked an OBI employee about places he could or could not go ashore as he did not want to risk deferral.
We would like to thank Ken for his dedication to saving lives through platelet donation.

New Mother Saved, Thanks to Donors
By Sunshine Wingfield, Community Relations Intern
Bryan and Katy Roybal could not have been more excited as the couple welcomed its first child into the world: a precious baby girl named Jane. But only a short time after delivery, Bryan noticed his wife seemed pale and shaky.
Bryan says it quickly went from being the best day of his life to the worst as he watched Katy fight for her life. Doctors discovered Katy was hemorrhaging, and she was immediately rushed to surgery. The procedure did not effectively stop the bleeding, and Katy hemorrhaged a second time. She then underwent an emergency hysterectomy. In total, she needed 22 units of blood plus platelets.
"I shudder to think about what would have happened if there hadn't been blood available," Katy said. "Without those who donated, my daughter would not have her mother, and my husband would be raising Jane alone."
Having almost lost his wife in 2011, Bryan was inspired to become a blood donor. "I plan on giving regularly now," he said.
"We are grateful to all the people who gave blood and saved my life," said Katy. "They have given our family a second chance."

Thank You for Keeping Me Alive!
Driving down the highway on August 11, 2011, I could have never imagined what lie ahead. During a sudden downpour, my car hydroplaned off the road and into a concrete culvert.
Not only was the passenger side completely crushed, but the transmission was cut in half and the steering wheel was bent. Witnesses didn't think I was going to make it. I was rushed to Muskogee Regional Medical Center but then transferred on to Saint Francis Hospital in Tulsa two days later.
Among other brutal injuries to my pelvis, vertebrae, and eye, I also tore the main ligament in my neck that supplies all of the blood to the spinal cord.
I received two plasma transfusions after losing copious amounts of blood.
After reaching a point of stability, I was released on August 29, 2011. But the long road to recovery was only beginning. I was sent home with a tracheotomy and was in a wheelchair, but started physical therapy a couple weeks later and had surgery to get the screw taken out of my pelvis.
Now, I still have short-term memory loss, major headaches and neck pain. But because of those who donated blood, I am still alive.
I attend Northeastern State University in Tahlequah every month for traumatic brain injury therapy to regain my memory and learn to multitask.
In April 2013, I became a blood donor and started giving back. I just want to thank everyone who is and has donated blood to save people's lives like mine. Every donation truly makes a difference. God bless you all!

Timor-Leste has enjoyed the longest period of peace and stability since the security breakdown in 2006. However peace cannot be taken for granted. It is recognized that countries only recover from conflict if they can create a window of time where they are free from further conflict. While there are clear indications of progress and an accepted level of stability, the drivers of certain conflicts are still to be resolved to prevent a resurgence of instability in the country.
Constructing disaster-resilient homes protects communities from the destructive forces of the climate-induced disasters often experienced throughout Timor-Leste.
Dili - Leaders from the Ministry of Social Solidarity (MSS) returned on Monday 5 August from Nepal where they had been learning firsthand about that country's peace-building and social cohesion practices. The week-long study tour provided both of the post-conflict countries with a rare opportunity to share the challenges, opportunities and best practices each has experienced in peace-building and state-building.
UNDP today signed a new project with the National Police Force (PNTL) to strengthen police capacity.

Beat Making Lab
In July of 2012 producer/DJ Apple Juice Kid and professor/emcee Pierce Freelon built a music studio, called a beat making lab, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. For two weeks Congolese students learned how to make beats and record songs in the Lab, which remains at a community center in Goma called Yole!Africa for sustainable, community use.
Congo Beat Making Lab was established in collaboration with Yole!Africa during SKIFF 2012 (Saleem Kivu International Film Festival) with special help from Petna Ndaliko and Cherie Rivers Ndaliko (assistant professor of music at UNC). It was made possible through support from the IAH Innovation Fund, the Department of Music, John Powell, Yole!Africa, the UNC Center for Global Initiatives, and from crowd-sourced donations.
16 incredible Congolese students ultimately made this Beat Making Lab possible. Their dedication, passion and collaboration over 2 weeks of instruction resulted in amazing works that will be presented over the coming months.

Alan N. (Chicago, IL): I saw a post on your Facebook page where you spoke about a video interview with Arum talking pretty harshly on Donaire and his wife, Rachel. What do you think will be the final conclusion in this scenario and what do you make of Arum saying he has "probably four guys who can probably beat Donaire"?
Vivek W. (ESB): That MPBoxing.com video clip was very interesting to both see and hear. Despite the near 15minute time frame, it was very intriguing and answered many questions in a way that let everyone know Arum's legacy is and will forever remain that of a businessman, not exactly a gentle man. Many will take his statements and find reason to dislike him, but I think no matter what the statement is or who makes it, we have to first try to locate the truth contained within, and in this case, I know his words were inflammatory, but even as a fan of Donaire, I think many were right on point.
I think it was totally ill-advised of Donaire to let whoever influenced him do so, because in the end analysis, there's no silver-lining for this wanna-be GoldenBoy. (Pun intended). If he's ever to become a Goldenboy employee, it won't be until his contract is officially complete. This is no different from Mayorga trying to split with King, and in that case, Mayorga was actually sued, so this could get VERY interesting.
To answer your questions, I didn't see the complete relevance of Arum bringing up Rachel's comments about Jinkee, but we all know that Pacqiuao is at the top of the food chain, and Arum will continue to let the world know this......Donaire and Rachel included. Arum responded to Rachel's claims, and to be quite honest, I would have to support Arum in the sense that I think both women do a great job to keep themselves looking great, but if Jinkee wants to go for the more mature look, who's right is it to question that? It's a personal decision......to each his own.
Regarding the commentary about Top Rank containing four men who could "probably beat Donaire", I think that statement also has to be viewed with a hint of honesty as well. Few have trumped Donaire's horn as much as I have, but I couldn't truthfully sit here and tell readers that he would definitely defeat Rigondeaux, Vasquez jr., Lopez and Gamboa. I simply can't! And you can't either! Those are all very tough fights, a few which I'd actually love to see. But to prematurely say Donaire will definitely defeat these men.....I can't do that. So, again, I think people need to stop looking at the source of certain words and look for the truth contained within them.
Rarely do I support Arum, but if he's right, he's right! What many fight fans don't know is that there have been underground rumblings about several comments from the Donaire camp about Pacquiao and his camp, but in front of the camera, this often changes. It sets a tone of hypocrisy and leads some to believe that the couple is jealous. I don't think they're necessarily jealous....I just think they would like some of the same opportunities, but Arum is in a tough spot. At welterweight he has a ton of guys that are proven, so he doesn't have to build them up to pin them against one another.
All of his guys at the lower weights are young and on the rise, so he has to build them up before he can try to cross their paths. This gives someone like Donaire less opportunity. He's in the middle market, so to speak. He isn't big enough to head his own pay-per-view card with any true success, as evidenced by the numbers of the past "Pinoy Power" cards he was on. And he isn't small enough to put on an undercard of Pacquiao and still be able to get the money he desires. So, it'll be interesting to see how it all unfolds, but for the record, he's better served staying put and taking some of these potential Top Rank fights later, because under Goldenboy Promotions, you guys know the history......HE WILL NOT GET A CRACK AT ANY OF THEM! Then what?
H. Lewis (Atlanta, GA): I see Floyd Mayweather jr. is in trouble with the IRS again. Do you think this is why we're seeing a sudden interest on his part to get back into the ring? And do you think it could lead to a showdown with Pacquiao?
Vivek W. (ESB): For starters, as I've stated in the past, I will only go in-depth on those things the men and women of this sport do IN THE RING, not outside of it. I think we all encounter certain issues in life, some in which we bring upon ourselves like I'm inclined to believe that Mayweather did here; but the difference is that we have rights to privacy that keep those things from being broadcast and dissected amongst our co-workers and the general public unless they become a matter of law that's reported as such.
In the case of Mayweather, the tax issue is a personal one. Period. The litigation challenges with the home security gate crew and the Mother of his children are private matters that were publicly reported, which gives room for some to create opinions, but I won't fall under that influence because like them, my personal would be coming without direct knowledge of the pertinent details that surround the case, which would essentially be misleading. At the end of the day, what I think doesn't matter.
The man who put himself in this situation has the money for everything else, so I'd imagine he has the money to also employ the proper legal staff necessary to resolve them. In his own words, "you get what you pay for, so you have to pay for the best"! For his sake I'd hope so, because the challenges continue to mount and the reputation has started to precede him.
Relative to whether or not it has anything to do with him wanting to return to the ring, I think it should be noted that Mayweather only came back to the sport a few years ago for one thing, and that was to face Manny Pacquiao. Many said he came back because he needed money, but when asked, none of those people seem to remember the fact that he walked away from a guaranteed $50M plus in a proposed rematch with Oscar De la Hoya, all because he won the initial encounter and refused to give up leverage he earned. You don't walk away from that kind of money when you truly need it.
So, let that be confirmation that as he stated several times before, his heart hasn't truly been in the sport for quite some time, but a desire to take a certain mega fight was the motivating factor. Unfortunately, that mega fight would not come to fruition. I don't think for a second the IRS matter has anything to do with his desire to fight. His desire to fight has everything to do with a certain fight and a certain man's willingness to comply to a certain test request. After that fight happens, I don't care who he owes or how much he owes them, a victory against Pacquiao and you will never see Mayweather in the ring again, which is why it's important to see how all of this unfolds. Stay tuned.
Rafael G. (Reseda, CA): What were your thoughts on the Fight Camp 360 that CBS/Showtime aired, as opposed to the typical HBO 24/7?
Vivek W. (ESB): Like all things in life, I saw pro's, con's, and a few elements that remain somewhere in the middle. On the 'pro' side, I thought it was a very intriguing perspective behind the way the CBS/Showtime crew integrated the training and personal lives of the two men on a level that we haven't always seen on the HBO 24/7 series. Synonymous with HBO, yet apparently not quite part of the plot with CBS/Showtime was the often overdone drama. There was no extended segments on disgruntled relationships or inner-camp spats, which typically become the norm on the HBO series. Such a thing should be viewed as a positive, but there's a fine distinction between created hype and necessary hype. That's where the 'con' side comes into effect.
As several fans emailed me to point out, the fact that there's no one playing the villain role in this fight made the segment in some respects a little dull. Absent was that type of havoc raising influence who knows how to mix humor with a few below-the-belt insults, creating that necessary image that even the staunchest critic can appreciate from a marketing standpoint, which could ultimately impact bottom line numbers when the final PPV tally is counted.
All in all, the presentation was a very good one, but I couldn't help but notice the absence of one presence normally in front of the camera at all time. The only time I remembered seeing conditioning guru Alex Ariza was when he put a water bottle in Pacquiao's mouth! Aside from that one clip, I didn't see Ariza much (if at all), causing some to speculate about the relationship behind the scenes in wake of recent questions about him possibly being axed from the team at some point soon. While I can attest that rumors continue to buzz in the bowels of the sport where few men roam, I'd also say that we're all better served waiting to see what happens next.
Closing thoughts.....I can't wait to see the Showtime version of Fight Camp 360. This made-for-regular-television broadcast was cool for the Saturday morning kiddy crew, but I'm curious to see what the pay television broadcast containing the unedited clips, curse words, raw emotions, and 'fireworks' will be like. Perhaps that will appease those who feel the absence of a bad guy or Hollywood-esque reality show vibe. Stay tuned.

New Toys will be accepted at the 11/7 show to give to less fortunate children!
Today's hottest live show for families, Kia Motors Presents Yo Gabba Gabba! Live!: There's A Party In My City! is teaming up with Boulder-based nonprofit Conscious Alliance to host a toy drive at their November 7, 2010 performances at the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield, Colorado. The drive will help bring toys to children in economically isolated regions of the United States.
Conscious Alliance is a Boulder, Colorado-based national nonprofit that was founded in 2002 and is focused on delivering emergency food relief to the most impoverished communities in the United States. Most of their collected donations are distributed to Native American Reservations, where six of the seven poorest communities in the U.S. are located.
Conscious Alliance concentrates much of their efforts on Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, where the average median income is under $3,000. Many families in this region struggle to provide food and heat for their households. Native American youth are particularly affected by the poverty in Pine Ridge, where one-fourth of the population is under the age of eighteen.
All toys collected at Kia Motors Presents Yo Gabba Gabba! Live!: There's A Party In My City! will benefit the youth of this area and be distributed during the holiday season. It is recommended all donations at Yo Gabba Gabba! Live! are a new stuffed animal valued at $10 or more.

About Conscious Alliance
Conscious Alliance is a Boulder, Colorado based national 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization committed to the redistribution of much-needed food to the impoverished communities of the United States. Operating through ongoing, grassroots food collection and hunger awareness programs throughout the U.S.—mostly by organizing food drives at concerts and sporting events—Conscious Alliance donations directly benefit America's local food pantries and impoverished Native American reservations. Since their first event in 2002, Conscious Alliance has hosted hundreds of food drives at music festivals including Bonnaroo, Power to the Peaceful, and Langerado and for concerts by such artists as Jack Johnson, Foo Fighters, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Franti & Spearhead, The Dead, The String Cheese Incident, STS9 and many others. The net result: the redistribution of nearly 1 million pounds of food – and counting!

When deciding between buying an existing property or building a new space for your business, the first questions you need to ask are about timing. While anticipating the timeframes may sound like common sense, even seasoned buyers and builders can get caught off guard by the process and timelines involved in purchasing and developing property in a new location. Here are a few questions to consider so your next project stays on time and on budget.
If you have your eye on an existing building, consider the amount of time you will want to "kick the tires" of your new space and the extent of the due diligence you will want to conduct before entering into any negotiations or agreements with the seller. The more you know about a property, the more comfortable you will be with negotiating the deal. Be sure to give yourself (and your lawyer) ample time to complete any searches, inspections or other inquiries you will need to feel confident on closing day.
Similarly, if you are looking to redevelop a property or build new, do your research and understand the various stages and timelines involved in designing, receiving development and building approval for, and constructing a commercial development in your area. Different municipalities will have different processing times for permits and approvals. Different building sites – even within the same area – can present remarkably different and unexpected challenges. Don't assume the timeframes you used on your last project will work for your current one. And, as with any construction project, remember that flexibility is vital. Know what your timeframes should be, but always build in a buffer to be able to take those inevitable hiccups and holdups in stride.
Finally, whether you are buying or building, be sure to consider whether your proposed use for the land will comply with the current land use designation in your municipality. If it doesn't, be aware that the timeframes for these approvals can range from a few months to over a year. Address this issue early and have a contingency plan.
The following infographic sets out some of the approximate timeframes associated with various stages of buying and/or building a property in Calgary. Some of the stages listed below will be concurrent or may not be required, and again, because all projects are unique, these timeframes will vary depending on a number of site, deal-specific and administrative factors and are provided only as rough guide and are subject to change. As always, your best bet is to talk to your lawyer when considering buying or building your new space and work together to ensure your concerns are addressed and goals are met.

STICK vs. BRUSH. WHO WILL WIN? Covergirl+Olay Concealer Balm and Becca Radiant Skin Creamy Concealer
4 comments:
- Rusin DJanuary 3, 2014 at 2:36 PM
I'm using creamy concealer right now but before this I always used the ones that look like lipsticks :)ReplyDelete
Hey Erica - I really liked this post. I have been using a cream stick concealer for some time and I like it a lot (different brand than above) but I'm actually likely to check out the CG + Olay stick next time I get low based on your review. Incidentally, I have attempted use of the brush/cream thing before (but with a different brand than the one above) and I also had awful results...the ONE day I used it, people kept asking me if I slept okay, or if I was coming down with something. So...it made me look tired & sick? From what you said about this brand, it may very well be a problem with brush/cream concealers across the board.ReplyDelete
Anyway, glad to see you're back and if you ever rock the pinterest or instagram, I'd be really interested to see what stuff you share. ;)
Hi Erica, I have been interested in trying the Olay/cover girl concealer, thanks for the review!ReplyDelete
- eskbeautyJanuary 7, 2014 at 12:03 AM
Thank you Naomi. The CoverGrl + Olay concealer stick is great. It is my first stick concealer and I am not going back.ReplyDelete

NBA free agency's fantasy implications
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network)
- Not all the pieces have fallen into place for 2012-13, but there are still plenty of just-signed free agents we need to evaluate for the upcoming season.
The easiest free agents to project are those who stayed with their own team. About a dozen fantasy-worthy stars and solid fantasy backups made the decision to stay with their original teams; including Deron Williams in Brooklyn, Kevin Garnett in Boston and Andrew Bynum in Los Angeles.
It's more difficult, but not impossible, to project the statistics of players with new teams and we will cover them too.
Staying at home
Williams may lose a couple of points worth of scoring now that the Nets have added talented scorer Joe Johnson to the backcourt, but Deron has proven over the past nine seasons that he's close to a 20-point, 10-assist guy. Of course, this situation could be drastically altered if Dwight Howard comes to town.
Garnett played 60 of 66 games this season and 20 playoff games and got better as the season wore on. That's not supposed to happen to 36-year-olds with 17 years in the NBA. Garnett will never return to his Minnesota production level, but 15 points and eight-plus rebounds is a sure thing.
Bynum had a breakout season in 2011-12 averaging 18.7 ppg and 11.8 rpg. The addition of pure point guard Steve Nash to the Lakers backcourt can only enhance Bynum's scoring potential, so at the least he should repeat last season's totals.
The Spurs' Tim Duncan is a future Hall of Fame forward who, like Garnett, isn't what he used to be, but is still a solid fantasy asset. Gone are the days of averaging 40 minutes, 25 points and 12 rebounds, but Duncan can, and will, still give you 15 and nine in his reduced role.
Indiana matched the offer to Roy Hibbert to keep the rising star in a Pacers uniform. He arrived in 2008-09 with very little offensive game, but last season improved to the point that he's worthy of a starting spot on your fantasy team. He averaged 12.8 ppg and 8.8 rpg and made the NBA All-Star team for the first time. There is no reason he can't continue his upward climb and give you 14 points and 10 rebounds next season.
Milwaukee's Ersan Ilyasova posted career highs in minutes (27.6), points (13), rebounds (8.8), assists (1.2), field goal percentage (.492) and 3-point percentage (.455). It's all about opportunity and Ilyasova should see 30-plus minutes in 2012-13 and his statistics should go up correspondingly.
To the dismay of Ty Lawson owners, Andre Miller will remain in Denver for the next few seasons. Miller's 27.4 minutes-per-game was his lowest average since his rookie season (1999-2000) and so was his 9.7 scoring average. He doesn't figure to increase either figure, but because he is still a Nugget, Lawson (16.4 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 6.6 apg) should also see stagnated totals.
On the move
Ray Allen has jumped to the champion Miami Heat and will provide superior outside shooting. Unfortunately with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh hogging most of the shots, Allen's fantasy value will be limited no matter how high his shooting percentage.
Jamal Crawford has been a scorer wherever he has gone. Now on his sixth team, he'll play the sixth-man role for the Clippers replacing Mo Williams (Utah) and Nick Young (Philadelphia). He's an excellent foul shooter, but gives you little in the other fantasy categories.
Center Chris Kaman (13.1 ppg, 7.7 rpg with New Orleans) joins the Dallas Mavericks and should make a solid front court with Dirk Nowitzki. With Kaman, the most important factor is health. When he's good, he can be a valuable asset. The bad news for those who want to take a shot at the 7-footer, he's only played more than 66 games in two of nine NBA seasons.
Steve Nash will be the best point guard that Kobe Bryant has ever played with in an NBA game. The same can be said for Pau Gasol, Bynum and every other Lakers player. It will be interesting to see how Nash and Bryant share the ball, but assuming Nash can stay healthy at 38-years-old, his numbers shouldn't change much. Think 14 ppg and 11 assists.
Luis Scola doesn't get much press, he just goes out and plays the game the way its supposed to be played. In five seasons with Houston, Scola averaged 14.5 ppg and 7.7 rpg playing 386 of a possible 394 games. The Suns don't have many outside threats, so the ball will go into the post on most occasions and that strategy should be good for Scola's fantasy production.
Ramon Sessions was a backup in Cleveland and didn't like it. His statistics improved with the Lakers where he started 19 of 23 games. His signing with Charlotte could end up being a sticky situation if Kemba Walker wins the starting point guard role. This could be a situation fantasy owners will want to avoid.
Nick Young may have found a great spot in Philadelphia where he's going to be one of the few players on the roster who can actually make a 3-point shot. In Washington where he started 32 of 40 games last season he scored an average of 16.6 ppg on 40.6 percent shooting from the field. All his numbers fell when he came off the bench with the Clippers in the second half of the season. Unless the team decides to go with a backcourt of Jrue Holiday and Evan Turner, a situation that would leave the team without a solid backup point guard, Young will be the team's starting shooting guard on Opening Day.

Cicero Having already proven themselves in a successful spring, area high school track and field athletes got one more chance to compete in advance of next weekend's state championships at Cicero-North Syracuse's Bragman Stadium.
During Thursday's Section III state qualifier, also held at C-NS, stars from Fayetteville-Manlius and Christian Brothers Academy both blanketed the win column.
Nick Ryan led the boys Hornets. Though not matching his mile from the Mary 22 sectional Class AA meet, Ryan still won in 4:18.33, with Bryce Millar third in Division I (large schools) in 4:27.77.
In the 3,200-meter run, Ryan prevailed in 9:15.40, with Matt Deyo (9:27.06) and Ben Thomas (9:34.85) completing a 1-2-3 sweep. Ryan, Millar, Langston Lightcap and Connor Farrell worked together to win the 4x800 relay in a swift 7:57.64.
Meanwhile, F-M won two of the three girls relays. Natalie Zazzara, Olivia Ryan, Katie Brislin and Heather Martin took the 4x400 in 3:57.55, with Jamesville-DeWitt third in 4:07.15. Hannah Smith, Annika Avery, Katie Sischo and Hannah Smith won the 4x800 in 9:28.71, with J-D again in the third spot in 10:07.72.
Alana Pearl, in a time of 4:46.79, and Jillian Fanning (4:47.37) went 1-2 in the girls 1,500-meter run. Charlie Beeler took fourth in the boys 400-meter dash in 52.56 seconds. Christie Rutledge won at 3,000 meters, going 9:59.61 as teammate Michelle Duffy (10:03.88) was second.
CBA had some unusual experiences. After the favored 4x100 relay team lost the Division II final due to a bad pass before the third leg, the Brothers returned in the 4x400 and saw Jack Brower, Kevin Frasier, Jared Sayles and Brendan Smith hold off Solvay, 3:29.24 to 3:30.01.
Smith wasn't done, of course. He went to the 3,000-meter steeplechase and led from start to finish, winning overall in 9:40.65 and beating the Division II field by more than 16 seconds. Dan Predmore again won in the discus, where he threw it 148'3" as J-D's Ryan Peters was third (135'1") on the Division I side.

Huawei Honor 6 Plus
With its good screen, strong processor and solid camera, the Honor 6 Plus is well-equipped for most all the social-networking fun you could want and doesn't ask for much cash in return. It's a shame about its clunky, outdated software, though, which does somewhat take the shine off.
Pricing not available
Asus ZenFone 2 ( 5.5in, 64GB, 4GB RAM)
The Asus ZenFone 2 is too expensive for its above-average ability, but if the price agrees with you, the smooth performance and splendid low-light camera won't disappoint.
Kyocera DuraXV ( with Camera)
Durable and water resistant, the Kyocera DuraXV is one of the most capable feature phones available.
Huawei SnapTo
Despite its strong battery life, Huawei's entry-level Android-powered SnapTo fails to live up to rival phones that cost the same or less.
Xiaomi Mi 4i
The Xiaomi Mi 4i packs in a surprising level of polish and solid performance for a low-cost global handset.
Pricing not available
LG G4 ( genuine leather brown)
Though it feels too similar to last year's G3, the LG G4 is an excellent big-screen smartphone that will appeal to budding photographers, and has old-school features missing from rival flagships.
Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime
Feature-rich cameras and an attractive build help push Cricket's prepaid Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime past other budget rivals that also cost under $200.
Microsoft Lumia 640 LTE Single Sim
The great screen and camera make the Lumia 640 a brilliant phone for anyone on a budget who wants an alternative to Android -- so long as you aren't too bothered about apps.
Pricing not available
Huawei P8
The Huawei P8 lacks some of the shine of its flagship phone rivals, but it still delivers an uncompromising mix of features and performance for a far cheaper price.
ZTE Blade S6
Though it looks like the iPhone 6, the ZTE Blade S6 feels like a cheap Android phone. However, its low price and some useful features makes this a viable choice for those on a budget.

The Mumbai marathon took a lethal turn for three young men with no known history of heart ailments as they collapsed after their hearts stopped beating.
Twenty-four hours later, two of them are in a critical condition at Bombay hospital on Marine Lines.
Amit Kasat, 37, an investment banker with the Standard Charter group, and Viraj Kohwale, 40, a photographer, are admitted in the intensive critical care unit.
Atul Singh, 40, the third patient, a resident of Mahalaxmi, was running the half marathon when he collapsed after suffering a cardiac arrest. He was revived through electrical shocks at the hospital.
He is now stable.
Doctors say none of them has a history of heart blockage. "Kasat is on artificial ventilator support.
He needs medical aid to maintain his blood pressure. His kidney functions are on the borderline," Dr BK Goyal, chief cardiologist, Bombay Hospital, said. "It is possible that he has an undiscovered block in the heart... exhaustion and dehydration might have added to an existing problem."
Indian youngsters are four times more susceptible than Westerners to suffer a cardiac arrest. "At least 5,000 people were screened over a period of 10 years. Of them, about 16% with heart problems were aged below 40. Internationally, this figure is only 4%," Goyal said.
Kasat's heart stopped beating for 20 minutes. He was given electrial shocks and manually resuscitated. The condition of Kohwale is serious. He is in coma. Oxygen supply to his brain was severely compromised when his heart stopped beating.
"His heart is beating irregularly. We have been trying to revive him at brief intervals as his heart stopped beating multiple times since Sunday," Goyal said. "His neurological clinical examination is not very encouraging. He has sustained a hypoxic brain injury due to lack of oxygenation after the cardiac arrest."
Singh, with no history of heart ailments, had a close shave. "All his reports are stable. His electro cardiograms and echo reports are normal. I have no clue how he might have suffered a cardiac arrest," his wife told dna.
Excitement and irregular heartbeat
Doctors say extreme stress and excitement can lead to irregular heartbeats. "The heart can go into spasms and stop beating if a person undergoes arduous activities like continuously running for hours," Dr Ramakant Panda, managing director, Asian Heart Institute, said. "Also, runners get excited as the finishing line approaches... excitement levels go up, leading to cardiac problems."

Spared Pablo's wrath, Cebuanos look up to heaven
MANY Cebuanos, both ordinary citizens and grateful officials, credited divine intervention for sparing Cebu from the brunt of typhoon Pablo's wrath.
In a press conference on Wednesday, Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Paz Radaza said Cebu was protected by the mercy of God through the intercession of St. Pedro Calungsod and the Virgin Mary.
"Gikaloy-an gyud intawn ta sa kahitas-an, pinaagi sa pangaliya sa bag-ong santo, si San Pedro Calungsod," she said.
"Naa pa atong birhen sa Regla ug Sr. Sto. Niño."
Invoking the Sto. Niño for protection is a natural practice of many Catholic Cebuanos, and is part of an oratio operata (mandatory prayer) recited at the end of every Mass in the Cebu Archdiocese.
A 75-year-old woman in barangay Canduman, Mandaue city said she spent most of Tuesday night until Wednesday morning praying to keep Cebu safe.
"Way undang ghud ko sa pagpanadye, hangtod nga nakadungog ko sa balita nga nitipas na ang bagyo ug di na moagi sa Cebu," said Nene Patigayon.
(I never ceased praying until I heard the news that the storm had passed and wouldn't hit Cebu.)
Mandaue City Hall employee Joel Retruerto said although he was busy with his duties as part of the disaster team helping families evacate from their coastal homes, he found time to drop in the National Shrine of St. Joseph to light five candles, for the safety of his family and all Cebuanos.Correspondent Fe Marie Dumaboc

KENDALL HOLT: Its going to be a great night in boxing for Team Holt. Were in good shape for this fight. We have a game plan for this fight and a backup game plan. The thing is to follow the game plan precise. I have a plan B just in case that doesnt work. But Ive been training for two months for this fight and I have to execute the game plan as planned. I cant really compare Bradley to anyone I have fought before because he has natural ability. He is a different kind of boxer, a boxer with a jab and decent speed, so I cant compare him to anyone Ive fought before..
At different times Ill try different things. I wouldnt say hes a boxer puncher. Id say hes a good puncher and he has a decent right hand. But Im going to test everything. Im going to test his heart, test his will, test his chin, test his stamina. Im testing everything because I need that belt.
I never overlook anything. Anything can happen at any given time so Im not overlooking anything.
On Bradley saying hed knock him out:
It didnt really get underneath my skin because when Im in a fight I want to knock everybody out. Going the distance, going 12 rounds is just bonus for the fans. I want to knock everybody out. I mean I look at my opponent as they want to do the same thing for me.
This is the biggest fight of my career to date so its the most important fight. Each and every fight is important because without winning the fight at hand you cant move onto the next big fight.
On if fans will see a knockout:
I try to knock everybody out. If a knockout happens, it happens. If it doesnt, as long as the decision goes my way, Im completely content with that. My advantages are experience, height and reach.
On Bradley having more amateur experience:
Who the hell cares about the amateurs right now? Demetrius had more experience than me in the amateurs too, and he beat me in the amateurs. (Miguel) Cotto got beat in the amateurs by people he knocked out in the pros. Who the hell cares about the amateurs really?
What it means to be a role model for the people of Paterson, N.J.
It means the world that my accomplishments can help somebody else overcome the problems that they are overcoming. It means the world because I didnt really have anyone to look up to that was in my town. Thats a great feeling. Each and every time I lace those gloves up its a motivation for me.
On how he survived the second Torres fight:
It was a fight I prepared for. It was one of the toughest training camps I had to date. I just didnt want to be denied. I didnt come here to lose and I wasnt going to lose. I was in tremendous shape, so I had the will to win and the heart to win. When I went down I wasnt hurt. The only reason I was retreating was because I wanted to get my punches off. Once my back was against the ropes I attacked. If he wasnt coming at me like a wild man there wouldnt have been a head butt. Blame it on him.
On what he will show Bradley:
Im not going to show him, Im going to let him feel power that he hasnt felt inside those ropes. He hasnt faced anyone with strong speed and power combined like I have.
I have a couple of different game plans that I can execute in this fight. I can use distance being that I have more range and longer arms. I have the height. I also have speed and power. If he tries to rush in the power will definitely get his attention and get his respect. If that happens, if he respects my power, my speed and my counterpunching ability, I can go in and press the fight.
But also because of his talents and his abilities this fight has the ability to be the fight of the year. Im not going to back down and I hope hes doesnt back down. This fight could potentially be fight of the year.
On whats changed during training:
Nothing has changed. A lot of things have just become a lot more clear. The more I watch the tapes, the more I spar, the more the No. 1 game plan emerges in my mind.
Show me to money. Manny Pacquiao. They just gave (good friend) Brandon (Jacobs of the New York Giants) the money, so now its my turn.
Id like to thank Timothy Bradley and Gary Shaw for being scared to put him in there against a real beast like myself.
I think its going to be a tremendous fight. Kendall is an improving fighter. He scored a tremendous victory over Demetrius Hopkins. His knockout to win the title was probably the round of the year. Anyway were confident in his performance in Montreal on April 4.
The 140-pond division is now becoming of the loaded divisions in boxing. This is a very important because the winner of the big fight, and Im absolutely sure its going to be Kendall Holt, is going to put himself right in the picture for the big money fights that are coming at 150 pounds.
Its going to be a great fight. Two terrific fighters, one winner: Kendall Holt. Hes going to do his job on April 4 and go on to bigger and better things.

Q&A with Mike Crandall
New state association focuses
on helping businesses grow sales
Q: What is the OKPSA?
A: The Oklahoma Professional Sales Association is a fairly new association for business owners, executives and leaders. It's designed to allow those committed to growing their business the opportunity to network, collaborate, engage, share and learn from each other. We have monthly lunch events where people can network and listen to a successful business leader share a unique sales story.
Q: Why did you start the association?
A: As a consultant focused on sales, management and leadership development, I spend most of my time with chief executives of medium and small businesses. Numerous execs have mentioned the need for an organization focused on sales professionals. Organizations such as the Oklahoma Chiropractors Association, Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association and others serve important business niches, but none have a true focus on sales and revenue development like OKPSA. The No. 1 reason businesses struggle or fail is money, and money comes from sales.

Don't be an April Fool. Participate in World Backup Day on 3/31
by Jovan Washington with 3 comments
Stop for a second and think about this: if you were to wake up one morning and find that your computer would not boot up, what would you do? Unfortunately, many of you have probably experienced a similar tragedy.
Some facts:
- A hard drive is a mechanical device, and as such is the most failure-prone component in your computer.
- If you need to recover your data when the drive fails, you will probably have to pay hundreds of dollars to a recovery service, and there is no guarantee that your data will be fully recovered.
- The real-world observed failure rate on hard drives is around 3%, and much worse under non-ideal conditions.
- Accidents happen, whether it's a coffee dumped on your laptop or a stuck delete key that sends an important folder to the trash without you noticing. Human error is one of the main culprits.
- Laptops and cellphones are attractive targets for a thief.

In Reply to: Long ago by R. Proffitt
Thanks for the information.
Just did following, could it indicate if it's CMOS chip that's causing the problem?.
Had tried to wait 15 mins after shut down, with ang without main plug.
Computer did start up 15 minutes after power down without removing the mains plug. And everything seems to be ok.
WhenI try to start 15 minutes after power down and removed the mains plug, it did not load Dell logo. Instead there was a message.
CMOS checksum error - Defaults loaded
Press F1 to continue. F2 to enter setup
I pressed F2 and in the Setup meny I found the time has been reset. When I exit without save, I got back to the above message.
Pressed F2 again, select Load Default Setting, then Save and Exit. Then computer was able to starts up.

Even George H.W. Bush earned the nickname "rubbers" for his obsession with population control.
"thing that rubs" (a brush, cloth, etc.), 1530s, agent noun from rub (v.). The meaning "elastic substance from tropical plants" (short for India rubber) first recorded 1788, introduced to Europe 1744 by Charles Marie de la Condamine, so called because it originally was used as an eraser.
Very useful for erasing the strokes of black lead pencils, and is popularly called rubber, and lead-eater. [entry for Caoutchouc in Howard, "New Royal Encyclopedia," 1788]Meaning "overshoe made of rubber" is 1842, American English; slang sense of "condom" is by 1930s. Sense of "deciding match" in a game or contest is 1590s, of unknown signification, and perhaps an entirely separate word. Rubber stamp (n.) is from 1881; figurative sense of "institution whose power is formal but not real" is from 1919; the verb in this sense is from 1934. Rubber cement is attested from 1856 (from 1823 as India-rubber cement). Rubber check (one that "bounces") is from 1927.
1807, "a driving stroke made with the arms in full swing," perhaps a dialectal variant of sweep (n.), or in part from obsolete swip "a stroke, blow" (c.1200), from Proto-Germanic *swip-, related to Old English swipu "a stick, whip." Other possible sources or influences are Middle English swope "to sweep with broad movements" (in reference to brooms, swords, etc.), from Old English swapan; obsolete swaip "stroke, blow;" or obsolete swape "oar, pole."
1825, from swipe (v.). The slang sense of "steal, pilfer" appeared 1885, American English; earliest use in prison jargon:
The blokes in the next cell, little Charley Ames and the Sheeney Kid, they was hot to try it, and swiped enough shoe-lining out of shop No. 5, where they worked, to make us all breeches to the stripes. ["Lippincott's Magazine," vol. 35, June 1885]Meaning "run a credit card" is 1990s. Related: Swiped; swiper; swiping.
