American Airlines Group's stronger than expected earnings in the fourth quarter are just the start for the carrier as it moves ahead with integrating its American and US Airways operating subsidiaries.
The Fort Worth, Texas-based carrier's $292 million operating profit was ahead of most Wall Street analyst expectations for its first combined quarterly earnings after the 9 December merger. Operating revenue was up 8.7% to $9.98 billion and operating expenses 7% to $9.7 billion.
Jamie Baker, an analyst at JP Morgan, says the performance is a "strong profit base from which to begin tackling integration", in a research note on 28 January.
Michael Linenberg, an analyst at Deutsche Bank, adds that the profit before special items was "well ahead of our net profit forecast", in a report.
American reports a $1.95 billion net loss after $2.2 billion in special items and reorganisation expenses in the fourth quarter.
In addition to the merger, the legacy American operation emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on 9 December 2013.
"The early returns on our merger are very positive," says Doug Parker, chief executive of American. "We have much work ahead, but believe we are on our way to restoring American as the greatest airline in the world."
Passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM) rose 6% to 12.56 cents and costs per available seat mile (CASM) excluding fuel and special items increased 0.9% to 8.57 cents during the quarter.
For 2013, the carrier reports a combined operating profit of $2.58 billion on operating revenues of $40.4 billion. It posted a net loss of $1.23 billion after $2.66 billion in reorganisation and special items.
American has already booked 70,000 joint itineraries across its two operating subsidiaries during the two weeks since American and US Airways began codesharing, says Scott Kirby, president of the carrier.
"We expect to start realising some revenue synergy value almost immediately," he says. "To date, we're exceeding our initial projections and are ahead on certain items like partner revenues."
Kirby says that codesharing is expected to generate about a third of the more than $1 billion in revenue synergies from the merger.
American plans implement reciprocal codesharing across all of its operations by the end of February and move its US Airways subsidiary to the Oneworld alliance by the end of March.
Banking certain hubs, introducing variable scheduling at the American subsidiary and increasing seat density on some aircraft are expected to generate an additional $400 million in earnings improvements, says Kirby.
American will implement a banked schedule at its Miami International airport hub in its fall schedule, due out in the third quarter, he says. Similar schedules will be implemented at its Chicago O'Hare International and Dallas/Fort Worth International hubs in 2015.
Hubs at Los Angeles International and at New York JFK International airports will not be banked due to unique terminal and slot constraints, says Kirby.
The US Airways subsidiary hubs in Charlotte, Philadelphia and Phoenix already operate on banked schedules.
Variable scheduling will involve reducing the number of flights American operates on off-peak days, for example Tuesdays and Saturdays, compared to the number it operates on peak days like Friday and Sunday.
US Airways already operates with variable schedules. Kirby said a year ago that the airline was able to add an extra bank of flights at its Charlotte and Phoenix hubs based on demand on certain peak days.
Seat density will increase on Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 777-200 aircraft in the American subsidiary fleet. The 737s will increase to either 160 or 164 seats from 148 to 160 currently, says Kirby.
The 777s will increase to 260 to 289 seats from 243 currently, he says.
The increased densities will be achieved with slimline seats manufactured by Weber and the reconfiguration of the premium cabin on the 777-200s, according to American.
American anticipates strong revenue performance despite increasing costs in 2014. It is targeting a 6% to 8% operating margin, which would be comparable to its 7.6% margin in 2013.
"I think we will outperform the industry this year on RASM [revenue per available seat mile]," says Kirby.
However, CASM excluding fuel, special items and profit sharing is expected to grow by 2% to 4% due to new labour contract costs, engine overhauls and other one-off changes in 2014, says Derek Kerr, chief financial officer of American.
CASM growth is expected to peak in the first quarter when it will rise 3% to 5%, followed by a 2% to 4% increase in the second and third quarters, and a 1% to 3% increase in the fourth quarter, he says.
However, executives warn that the guidance has not been "scrubbed" and is simply based on the respective budgets of both the American and US Airways operating subsidiaries.
"I think as we have time to dig through and understand both expense structures," they say. "I think there will be additional opportunities."
American expects its average cost of fuel to be $3 to $3.05 per gallon in 2014 based on 23 January prices, says Kerr. It anticipates paying $3.07 to $3.12 per gallon in the first quarter.
Mainline capacity will rise by about 3.5% as more aircraft return to service after maintenance, new larger aircraft replace smaller ones and the completion factor rises in 2014, he says.
American will take delivery of 83 aircraft in 2014, including 10 Airbus A319s, 42 Airbus A321s, three Airbus A330-200s, 20 Boeing 737-800s, six Boeing 777-300ERs and two Boeing 787-8s, according to an investor update on 28 January.
The airline will remove 74 aircraft, including four Airbus A320s, 14 737-400s – eliminating the type from its fleet – 19 757-200s, 12 Boeing 767-200s and 25 MD-80s.
On the regional side, it will add 43 aircraft, including 19 Bombardier CRJ900s and 24 Embraer 175s. It plans to remove 25 Embraer ERJ140s and two Bombardier Dash 8-100s.
Net capital expenditure of $2.1 billion, which is split between $1.2 billion for new aircraft and $900 million for non-aircraft purposes, is expected in 2014, says Kerr.

So the black people had to be extraordinary to get into alpine, while the white guy just had to be really good.

Seven U.S. senators have asked the Department of Health and Human Services to withdraw its proposed rule governing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's accountable care organizations because "it misses the target" of better care at lower costs.
The seven Republican lawmakers sent a letter on Tuesday to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Donald Berwick, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, expressing concerns about HHS' proposed regulations for ACOs.
[Related: ACO regs take another beating. Editor's Desk: This Week in Government Health IT.]
The senators – Tom Coburn (Okla.), Jon Kyl (Ariz.), Mike Crapo (Idaho), Mike Enzi (Wyo.), John Cornyn (Texas), Pat Roberts (Kansas) and Richard Burr (N.C.) – said prominent healthcare providers such as the Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic and Sutter Health and all 10 members of CMS' Physician Group Practice demonstration project have reservations about the proposed rule.
They also noted a recent American Hospital Association report which found that ACO start-up costs are likely to be significantly higher than what CMS has estimated.
The senators said they believe ACOs show promise, but they think the model is doomed to failure under the proposed regulations. They said there's no alignment between incentives and accountability, the requirements are too complex and the return on investment is uncertain.
The senators suggested re-engaging with the healthcare community to "redesign a regulation that will truly help accomplish our shared goals for patients, providers and taxpayers alike: Better care at lower costs."

Hey guys! We have reached our goal of $2100! We can still raise lots more :) I will keep this running up until the 9th of July! I cannot express to you guys how grateful I am! Thank you to each and every one of you :)
It's hard not to think about water today. In the western world, we face growing concerns about our stewardship of the world's most precious resource. There's talk of shortages, evidence of reservoirs and aquifers drying up, and of course, plenty of people who simply don't care.
But forget about us.
Most of us have never really been thirsty. We've never had to leave our houses and walk five miles to fetch water. We simply turn on the tap, and water comes out. Clean. Yet there are 800 million people on the planet who don't have clean water.
It's hard to imagine what 800 million people looks like really, but one in nine might be easier. One in nine people in our world doesn't have access to the most basic of human needs. Something we can't imagine going 12 hours without.
Here, I'd like to introduce you to a few of those 800 million. They are very real, and they need our help. They didn't choose to be born into a village where the only source of water is a polluted swamp. And we didn't choose to be born in a country where even the homeless have access to clean water and a toilet.
I invite you to put yourself in their shoes. Follow them on their daily journey. Carry 80 pounds of water in yellow fuel cans. Dig with their children in sand for water. Line up at a well and wait eight hours for a turn.
This coming Fall, I will be starting a charity: water chapter at my university. I need your help. I want you to join. We will be doing many events this semester and we need people who are passionate about raising money to help people across the world have their basic needs met.
I am pledging my 21st birthday to charity: water to show that every little bit of help counts. Join me :)
Please, if you have any ideas on how to raise tons of money, let me know (email@example.com) and we'll work to make it happen.
I am humbled by your kindness and generosity.
Mihir :)

How would you make bryce letters without resorting to some kind of images or tertiary program (Wings, Hexagon etc)?
Letters are just geometry, made from curves and lines.
Easy as ABC.
I know what letters are, but Bryce doesnt do splines very well or curves.
You could probably write your name using the Booleaning technique but it takes a long time to do and it doesnt look good. Well, it can probably look good if you invest loads of time.

Experimental 1999 Delaware Quarter Planchet, MS661999-P 25C Delaware Quarter--Struck on Experimental Planchet--MS66 PCGS. In 1999, the U.S. Mint was devising an alloy for the eventual Sacagawea dollar that would have gold color, but possess an identical electro-magnetic signature as the Anthony dollar. This would allow Sacagawea dollars to be visually distinctive yet usable in existing vending machines. "Golden" alloys were tested on a few 1999-dated statehood quarters, presumably since no dollar planchets were available. Some regard these pieces as patterns rather than mint errors, although it was certainly an error when they left the mint. This gold-alloy specimen is well struck with pristine preservation and slightly irregular rims, as if the collar die was absent or too widely spaced.

Fearing Isaac, La. Tech moves A&M game to Oct. 13
By Brent Zwerneman | August 28, 2012 | Updated: August 31, 2012 3:47pm

Sept. 8 vs. Florida
Sept. 15 at SMU
Sept. 22 vs. South Carolina St.
Sept. 29 vs. Arkansas
Oct. 6 at Mississippi
Oct. 13 at Louisiana Tech

Nov. 24 vs. Missouri
Game changes
TEXAS A&M at LOUISIANA TECH
Originally at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in Shreveport, the game has been postponed until Oct. 13.
UTSA at SOUTH ALABAMA
Originally at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in Mobile, Ala., the game has been postponed until 1 p.m. Saturday.
COLLEGE STATION - The Southeastern Conference scheduled Florida at Texas A&M as a marquee early-season matchup to welcome the Aggies to their new family.
A&M suddenly has its hands full on that front, and the school would happily take a league bottom feeder over "marquee" following the postponement of its scheduled opener against Louisiana Tech, which would have served as a nice primer for the Gators.
Citing Hurricane Isaac, Louisiana Tech on Tuesday postponed Thursday night's game scheduled for Shreveport's Independence Stadium until Oct. 13. Both teams were off that Saturday in the middle of the season, and Louisiana Tech made the call as the host team.
"Our primary concern was for the health and safety of the general public, students and fans of both institutions," Bulldogs athletic director Bruce Van De Velde said. "It's impossible to predict exactly what is going to happen throughout the state, so we also wanted to be conscientious of the possible effects of this storm on residents throughout Louisiana."
Isaac made landfall Tuesday in southeastern Louisiana.
"As much as both teams wanted to play, the safety of everyone took precedent over a football game, even one of this magnitude," Van De Velde said.
The AD didn't divulge why Friday or early Saturday weren't considered as alternative dates. (The stadium is scheduled to host a Saturday night game.)
The Aggies, with a new coaching staff led by Kevin Sumlin and a new starting quarterback in freshman Johnny Manziel, are now scheduled to open their season against Florida on Sept. 8 at Kyle Field.
"I know coach Sumlin and our Aggie football team were ready to play, but the safety and well-being of our Aggie fans, our student-athletes as well as the residents of Louisiana is paramount," new A&M athletic director Eric Hyman said.
Based on the revamped schedule, the Aggies will now play a stretch of five of six games on the road, starting Oct. 6 at Mississippi.
A&M will then face Louisiana Tech, return to Kyle Field for LSU and then head east for contests at Auburn, Mississippi State and Alabama.
Sumlin, headed for practice Tuesday evening, declined comment through a spokesman.
Starting linebacker Steven Jenkins and backup safety Howard Matthews also were scheduled to be suspended for the opener for violations of team rules, but the spokesman wasn't certain what the duo's status would be for Florida.
The Aggies were supposed to fly to Shreveport this afternoon, but they instead will begin preparations for the 23rd-ranked Gators, who play host to Bowling Green on Saturday.
"Regardless of what people say, we're going to be ready next week," Manziel posted on his Twitter account. "First game of the year (at) home against Florida, what more could you ask for?"
Added senior linebacker Sean Porter via Twitter: "First game in the SEC at home vs. Florida. Couldn't have scripted it better in a movie."

Two Llamas Lead Arizona Authorities on Epic Chase
By: Jodi Westrick
Apparently, earlier today two llamas were on the run in the Phoenix suburb of Sun City, Ariz., multiple media outlets have reported.
The hilarity of the news led to a livestream of the "llamas on the lam" (thanks Digg!) and a flurry of posts across social media capturing the excitement. It was unclear where the llamas came from. Eventually, both llamas were caught, but not before becoming Internet stars.
Watch as the Turtleman attempts to bring in another runaway llama:

Team Chip Tae Kwon Do students demonstrated their fighting skills during a performance at the Holy Spirit Parish Festival that took place on Sunday. A large crowd gathered to see the students in action.
BrookshireŌĆÖs Grocery Company celebrated their 85th anniversary by giving cake to customers in each of their stores, including in Sweetwater.
Shown is local BrookshireŌĆÖs employee Nisha Williams giving Martha Diggs a slice of cake. Diggs will be celebrating her 86th birthday on Sept. 3.
Sweetwater firefighters raised money this past weekend in Sweetwater to help people with neuromuscular disease.
The cityŌĆÖs fire department held its annual Fill the Boot drive to benefit JerryŌĆÖs Kids and the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Firefighters collected donations at the corner of Broadway and Elm Street on Friday, as well as at the Interstate 20, Georgia intersection.
Those who want to donate also can stop in at the local fire station to make a contribution.
Shown is Sweetwater firefighter Clinton McKeehan receiving a donation.
JAYTON ŌĆö Highland and Motley County engaged in an exciting finale Saturday to JaytonŌĆÖs three-day Grid-iron Classic.
After losing 60-12 a year earlier, the Hornets were in this yearŌĆÖs season-opening game to the very end.
In fact, Highland held two double-digit leads in the first half and was ahead 59-54 for most of the fourth quarter. But with 1:19 left, Motley County scored on a 26-yard run and kicked the extra point, then held on for a hard-fought 62-59 win.
Highland players Ethan Wilson and Shelby Howard accounted for seven of the teamŌĆÖs eight touchdowns.
Trailing a team it beat 48-10 last year in the Sammy Baugh Classic, Everman got a 55-yard scoring pass from Reggie Kincade to Chris Stafford with 4:12 left and extra point for a 16-15 victory over El Paso Del Valle at Mustang Bowl on Saturday.
Everman trailed Del Valle 7-3 at halftime and 15-9 in the fourth period before pulling out the win, which was in doubt until defensive end Charles Badger blocked a 45-yard field goal attempt by Del Valle that came with 1:45 remaining.
Joe BanyardŌĆÖs career with the Minnesota Vikings will continue, just not on the teamŌĆÖs active roster.
Banyard, a former star running back at Sweetwater High School and University of Texas-El Paso, failed to make the VikingsŌĆÖ 53-man roster when the final cuts were announced Saturday.
However, on Sunday it was announced he had been signed as one of eight members on the practice squad, where he spent the last part of the 2012 season as a member of the Vikings.

EASTLAND ŌĆö Plenty of fireworks were expected when Sweetwater and Eastland kicked off their respective 2013 football seasons against each other Friday. And the teams didnŌĆÖt disappoint as their offenses produced almost 1,000 yards as well as 48 first downs ŌĆö and also no turnovers on a total of 134 plays.
But the Mavericks, who lost to Sweetwater 23-13 a year ago when the teams met at the Sammy Baugh Classic in Shane MobleyŌĆÖs head coaching debut, turned the tide on the Mustangs as they rallied from a first-half deficit to take a 46-30 victory on their home field.
DE LEON ŌĆö Roscoe produced a few eye-popping offensive stats against the De Leon Bearcats on Friday in its first game under new head coach Jake Freeman.
Quarterback Cutter Davila completed a whopping 35 of 46 passes for 389 yards and two touchdowns. And his favorite passing target against the Bearcats, Shelton Toliver, caught 16 balls for 130 yards.
But despite their heroics, plus another 100-yard receiving effort by Kevin Lavalais (5 catches for 115 yards and one TD), the Plowboys werenŌĆÖt able to pull off the victory.
WESTBROOK ŌĆö It took only one half for Blackwell to defeat Westbrook on Fri-day in its season opener.
Thanks to the 45-point rule, it was over at halftime as Blackwell finished with a convincing 52-0 road win.
The Hornets had 294 total yards on 23 snaps in two quarters of work, as they finished the night with 222 yards rushing and another 72 yards through the air.

What is the best way to remove this case?
Many of the reviews say that this case is impossible to remove. Are they true or is there any good way of doing so?

Incase Slider Case for iPod touch (4th Gen.)
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
First, take off the bottom part of the case. This should be easy. Second, you have to slightly wiggle your iPod. Then, it should easily slide out of the upper part of the case with a tiny bit of wiggling.
- Answered by Susan H from Albuquerque
First, you slide out the bottom part, then you take of the top. It's simple.

Ajjamada C. Kushalappa, PhD
Research interests
Dr. Kushalappa is a Plant Pathologist. His current research focus is to identify plant biotic stress resistance genes through forward and reverse genetics, and use these genes/alleles to replace the susceptible genes/alleles in elite or new cultivars, based on cisgenetic engineering (gene transfer between sexually compatible plants), using CRISPR-Cas9 systems, to increase the genetic diversity of crop plants.
Plants defend against pathogen attack using biochemicals that are constitutively produced or induced following pathogen invasion. Based on non-targeted metabolomics and proteomics using liquid chromatography and high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-LTQ-Orbitrap) we have detected thousands of metabolites and proteins in wheat/barley – Fusarium graminearum (fusarium head blight) and potato-Phytophthora infestans (late blight) interaction systems. The resistance related (RR) metabolites were linked in their metabolic pathways to explore their precursors and possible polymers or structural components that explained the mechanisms of resistance. Several of these biochemicals are known antimicrobials, toxin inhibitors/detoxifiers, and cell wall thickening compounds. The proteins identified were mainly enzymes catalyzing these metabolites or pathogenesis related proteins. Metabolic pathway regulation by signaling molecules, hormones and transcription factors also have been identified. The metabolites with high fold change in abundance in resistant genotypes than in susceptible (RR metabolites) were searched in genomic databases to identify candidate genes. The putative resistance genes were sequenced to identify the SNPs and the gene expressions were used to confirm the association of these genes with metabolites. The candidate genes were then silenced (VIGS) in resistant and susceptible genotypes to validate gene functions.
Our current research activities are: i) Identification of RR genes in quantitative trait loci (QTL) of near isogenic wheat lines, and in other genotypes of wheat, barley and potato against biotic stress; ii) mapping of upstream signaling and regulatory genes associated with RR genes responsible for cell wall enforcement and other resistance functions; iii) use these sets of regulatory and RR genes/alleles to replace susceptible genes/alleles in elite cultivars through cisgenetic engineering, using CRISPR-Cas9 systems. Cisgenic plants with high levels of resistance to late blight in potato and to fusarium head blight in wheat and barley will be evaluated under field conditions in collaboration with producers in Colombia and Canada.

I don't get why everyone has this hard on for Ryan Jones but we all hate Paajarvi. If Paajarvi can change his game and start going to the net like jones does he will score goals, like jones does. They're both soft, jones doesn't throw hits because he wants to, he does it because he's told to. Paajarvi is a much better player and he has a better positional hockey IQ. It's going to take time for him to learn how to excel in North America. Not all players step in and do well instantly like Canadian prospects do, they need to learn the game and their opponents and most importantly themselves. He needs to figure out what he does best, and do it.

at what age can i start giving my baby juice and water?
Posted: 09/09/2007 by a BabyCenter Member

My baby had reflux, constipation, and gas. She was born prematurely and the doctor recommended to add a tsp of rice per oz of formula to thicken the formula so she could keep it down better at 2 months or less. They also recommended that if she REFUSED her formula, it was okay to feed her white grape juice and/or pedialyte for a few hours until she started eating again. I continue to occasionally give her a little pedialyte or juice...but as some people have mentioned, it may reduce the amt of formula they get. The doctors were more concerned about missed nutrients than calories as juice and pedialyte don't have vitamins and minerals that formula and milk do. And yes, the said a little water occasionally is ok, but it is a risk that they might get water intoxication and yes, even die if given too much (washes out electrolytes even in their brains which can cause seizures and even death!) . The babies also miss important nutrients such as vitamins and minerals when given water.posted 11/10/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Too much water throws off the balance of electrolytes (sugars, sodium, viatmins) in the cells, that is why it can cause seizures. You should not give water or juice unless your pediatrician tells you to for a reason. When my daughter had issues with constipation around 2 months, her Dr. said I could give her 1-2oz of water or infant pedialyte (not flavored) IN BETWEEN FEEDINGS so it didn't dilute the nutrients. There was a woman on the news recently who's 6 month old baby almost died because she added extra water to his formula to try to stretch it into more feedings. He may be brain damamged for life now, so be careful!! Remember your baby can be perfectly healthy on nothing but breast milk (or formula) until 12 months, so there is no rush!!!posted 02/02/2010 by Jes789
I was told to give my child water for constipation at 6 weeks old. His doctor told me it wouldn't hurt him whatsoever.posted 04/20/2010 by shanel1
can i give juice for my 7 months babyposted 05/12/2015 by padmajagumma
Haha this post has cracked me up, seriously some ppl think water will cause seizures? Do you Kno breast milk is 80 or 90% water Also what do you mix your formula with? Last I checked it was 2oz WATER to 1 scoop formula... Come on folks where's ya head at? Some good info on here how ever... Yes no honey bc of botulism!!! I have 4 babies and they've all gotten some water here and there outside on breast! As for juice it's not Necessary but if you want at around 6 mos a Lil here and there is O.K... I like the fruit in the water idea.. Just wondering do u blend it? To keep it from clogging the sippy cup???posted 06/27/2012 by zachzmommie
Every one needs to actually read the whole post before responding negatively...TOO MUCH water can cause seizures.. too much..they are not saying that a little causes seizures but too much.. so give your baby water if you want but use caution...and common sense...my baby is 1 month old and I give her a few sips of water every now and again because she gets the hiccups really bad. A few sips and her hiccups go away.posted 09/18/2014 by Kalie3
I don't know if you're referring to me but if you are reread my statement ... I said "My son's pediatrician told me that!!" It's exactly what he said to me, say what you want juice really doesn't have much nutrition, it's better to give them the fruit itself with NO added ingredients.posted 07/18/2014 by angbee76
My mother in law always do some thing without my permission she gave my 3 monthes old baby sweet green tea n some hurbes when she was too young n now she is five monthes old when iam not around she give her water melon juice n mango juice I just don't know what to do But I recommond to others that please don't let others to decude about your baby you decide itposted 07/07/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
What age should I give water to my baby and how much ahe is 6 weeks?posted 06/07/2014 by lynnmcclain68
Most doctors say to start giving water at 6 months. But how do you get a baby used to it if they've never had it? As a result of this, most toddlers hate water and prefer juice because they were never given water. I think it's good to educate your self but giving a few sips of water and then increasing amount does not make you a bad mom and will not harm your baby. What kills me is that most moms in America rely on pediatrician to tell them how to raise their child.posted 01/22/2014 by a BabyCenter Member

Re: Blizzard changes arguments wrt game balance questions, when it comes to locks
Son Goku,
I don't (personally) think any objective Warlock player who's put in serious time has come to hate fear. Yeah, their are times when it doesn't break, and you can get off those solid 10 second fears while you pummel them with shadow bolts. On the reverse side, it gets trinketed or canceled by one of the many abilities most classes have to counter it.. or, fear breaks early and you get whooped.
Problem is, as annoying as fear is, what else do Warlocks have?
even our "snare" -Curse of exhaustion- is talent trainable only, slows by movement by 30%, and takes up a curse slow which could more often be better used for something like Curse of Tongues or Curse of Agony..
We've got Death Coil, which everyone hates and people make up ridiculously **** about, like that it crits and heals for thousands.
In the end, when I'm playing my other classes I don't find warlocks to be any worse than any other class. Fear is annoying since you run around like an idiot, but otherwise, get in their face and lock em down.
sorry for the rambling post. Its late..

See what you missed at the NAFCU Annual Conference in Montreal.

The USPS' desire to enter the financial services space to grow revenue is wrong in so many ways.
The USPS' desire to enter the financial services space to grow revenue is wrong in so many ways.
Counting fees on payday-alternative credit union loans would put them over the DOD cap, Debbie Matz warns.
Proposed and potential rules from the NCUA, CFPB and others are front and center in credit union strategic planning.
Expect the CFPB to scrutinize overdrafts, payday lending, prepaid cards, auto loans and mortgage lending.
As loan growth continues to blossom in the New Year, hopefully it will not be nipped in the bud by overzealous regulators or lack of leadership. Agility is as important in business as it is in volleyball; the ability to adapt to a changing environment is critical. NCUA Chief Economist...
In a consolidating industry, regulatory relief is a necessity, NAFCU leader urges.
The loss of more credit unions is at stake if regulatory burdens do not ease up.

Baseball's most storied rivalry was put on hold for a moment on Tuesday. In a show of class and support, the New York Yankees joined other big league teams in playing Neil Diamond's 'Sweet Caroline' after the third inning of their game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Sveticism is a grammatical construction, loanword or calque originating from the Swedish language.
Sveticisms are particularly found in the Finnish language, because Finland's governing bureaucracy was mostly Swedish-speaking until the 20th century. The use of Swedish grammatical constructions in official speech is a particularly persistent habit. The Swedish kommer att -future tense is an example, being translated to tulla + noun in illative case, e.g. talo tullaan rakentamaan < Swedish huset kommer att byggas "the house will be built". The language regulator recommends against the use of Sveticisms such as this in official speech. They are also common in Norwegian.
Sveticisms in English are loanwords, such as smörgåsbord and ombudsman.

It becomes even more interesting when Sarek's attitude, which was previously close to Prime Sarek's, changes after Vulcan's destruction and Amanda's death. I would have never dreamed to hear him say to Spock that he's glad he's got him (widly paraphrasing here, bad memory and movie dubbed in French) and that he married Amanda because he loved her (that scene is wonderful). He even encourages Spock to use his emotions!
That is going to change Spock a great deal and it can already be seen in the transporter room with Uhura scene
I think more people need to pick up on that. It's vital to Spock being as "different" as he is.

Here are some pictures of him. Right now my biggest question is full or semi qh bars? I am going to go out and measure him tonight and hopefully get some answers from that :) But in the mean time what do you think?

The Whooliganz
|The Whooliganz
|Beverly Hills, California, United States
|Hip hop, West Coast hip hop
|Years active
|Tommy Boy/Warner Bros. Records
|Associated acts
|Cypress Hill, House of Pain, Soul Assassins
|Past members
|Mad Skillz
The Whooliganz were a 1990s hip hop music group consisting of Scott Caan and Alan Maman, who is known now as hip hop producer the Alchemist. The duo went by the names Mad Skillz and Mudfoot, respectively.
Caan and Maman met as teenagers in the wealthy neighborhood of Beverly Hills, California. The duo began performing throughout the Los Angeles area and gained recognition. Maman's childhood friend Evidence introduced the group to Quincy Jones III and they began work on a demo. They eventually caught the attention of B-Real of Cypress Hill, who invited the teens to join the collective Soul Assassins, which also consisted of Cypress Hill, House of Pain and Funkdoobiest. The Whooliganz toured the country with the Soul Assassins and their connection helped them land a record deal with Tommy Boy Records.
The Whooliganz recorded their debut album, Make Way for the W, and the album's first single was "Put Your Handz Up", produced by DJ Lethal and released in 1993. But the single and music video did not receive much airplay. A second single, "Don't Mean Nothin'," was planned but then Tommy Boy decided to drop the group and not release the album. Another song, "Whooliganz," was released as a single in 1995 in the UK on Positiva/EMI Records, but the duo had already gone its separate ways. Caan followed his father, James Caan, into a successful acting career. Maman turned to making beats and became a rapper and a successful and very well known producer under the stage name the Alchemist.

Taylor Momsen Does What She Wants
The platform buckle boots she is strutting down the street in must have been keeping her warm as the 17-year-old star apparently thinks pants are optional in New York City during winter.
She is seen here out grabbing coffee Wednesday, hours before she and her band did a show at Santos Party House in NYC, where she once again pushed the limits on what is considered an appropriate public appearance outfit.
Take a look at some shots of Taylor's performance after the jump.

SPORTS BRIEFS: Michigan coach says Irish 'chickening out'
Otters come back to win on 'Kids Day'
The Evansville Otters scored a pair of runs in the eighth inning Tuesday morning on a Frank Martinez solo homer and Nick Schwaner's pinch-hit RBI single to come back and beat the Southern Illinois Miners 5-4 in a Frontier League baseball exhibition game. First pitch was set for 10 a.m. on the Miners' annual "Kids Day" at Rent One Park in Marion, Ill. Martinez, a second-year Evansville infielder, finished 2-for-3 at the plate with 3 RBIs in the Otters' third and final tuneup before their regular-season opener against the Normal CornBelters on Friday at Bosse Field.
Big 12, SEC set hoops challenge
Teams from the Southeastern Conference and Big 12 will meet in basketball next season. The leagues announced the Big 12/SEC Challenge on Tuesday with matchups including Kansas at Florida and Kentucky vs. Baylor in Arlington, Texas. The 2013 matchups include: Texas Tech at Alabama (Nov. 14), Vanderbilt at Texas and Auburn-Iowa State on Dec. 2. Mississippi visits Kansas State, West Virginia travels to Missouri and TCU plays at Mississippi State on Dec. 5. The next day, Kentucky and Baylor meet and South Carolina is at Oklahoma State. The Kansas-Florida game is Dec. 10. Texas A&M and Oklahoma play Dec. 21.
Heck's all-star team wins title in China
Samantha Heck never won a championship during her four seasons on the University of Evansville's women's basketball team, but the Missouri native finished her amateur career with a title while representing the United States. Heck tallied 7 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and a steal Monday in Dong Xiang, China, as the NetScouts U.S. All-Stars knocked off the home nation 66-61. That victory gave the U.S. a 7-2 record on its nine-game, three-city Chinese tour and the best record among the four nations participating. Australia and China both went 5-4, while Brazil finished a distant fourth at 1-8.
Michigan coach says Irish 'chickening out'
Michigan coach Brady Hoke has taken the Notre Dame rivalry up a notch. Hoke made a crowd chuckle on Monday at West Michigan Sports Commission luncheon by saying the Fighting Irish are "chickening out" from the storied series. Notre Dame exercised an option in its football-scheduling contract with Michigan last fall to cancel games from 2015-2017. In a letter from Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick to Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon obtained by The Associated Press, Swarbrick wrote that the move was necessary because of Atlantic Coast Conference commitments.

Tennessee officials say they fired Jenny Wright as director of the school's office of student judicial affairs for refusing to cooperate with a university investigation into whether she had inappropriate relationships with student-athletes. Wright, 32, was fired Monday after failing to appear at a meeting to discuss the allegations against her. She submitted a letter of resignation on Thursday rather than participating in the investigation. Tennessee refused to accept her resignation and fired her instead.

Software Developer InterviewNo OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 7 weeks – interviewed at Perceptive Software (Shawnee, KS) in September 2012.
Was introduced to the job through a recruiter. Submitted resume and a written pre-screen, at which point I was invited in for a programming assessment.
Programming assessment consisted of coding (in a word processor) in C++, Java, or C# some basic object-oriented things (subclassing, virtual methods) and writing a linked list implementation.
I passed the programming assessment and was invited to an in-person interview. This consisted of two hour-long sessions with two interviewers each. The interviewers were software developers/architects. There were no "soft" questions (e.g. "What is your greatest weakness?") nor random puzzle questions. All the discussion was focused on tangible things that I could bring to the company, my attitudes, and also a review of the code that I wrote in the assessment. It was a very pleasant interview with obviously very talented people.
In the end, they deemed me a good candidate but still declined to give me an offer.
My only criticism of the process was that it took quite a long time. After the assessment, there was a three-week wait until the interview, and after the interview there was a three-week wait before a final decision. So the entire process was several months long, and comments from my recruiter led me to believe they were unnecessarily dragging their feet.

Software Developer InterviewNo OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at Perceptive Software in June 2011.
After submitting my resume I was brought in to take a written skills test of a language of my choosing. This was not difficult. It consisted a implementing a small program made up of several classes. Drawing from knowledge I gained in my college career, I was done in 45 minutes without any trouble.
A week later I was brought in for a face to face interview with four managers on the development side. At first I thought they were friendly enough, and was looking forward to a more laid-back interview than your typical run-of-the-mill interview. But they became, in my opinion, unprofessional, and borderline-malicious at times. Friendly chat from the managers turned into inappropriate jeering at times. Such as insinuating that I'm lazy in college for the entire interview even after I explain my circumstances. Joking or not, this is not professional for a first time interviewee. Though I handled it well, and thought I showed that I could interact well with fellow employees and managers, I came out of the interview disappointed that I wasn't given a chance to express my actual practical skills for the job positions at hand.
Overall, I would say that the interview process was not particularly difficult, though it was different from any other interview I've had in the development field. Find a way to showcase your practical skills in a casual, social way, and don't lose composure if things start to seem less than professional.

Labour's Shadow Health Secretary Andy Burnham MP has been saying that Ministerial rhetoric and the reality within NHS is far different and the same is risking the arousal of a real confusion in the NHS, as per the revelations of a recent report.
It was Opposition Day when the MP made his speech and said that a challenging task is ahead of all. Since, worse scenarios are being seen in the NHS and on the other hand, Ministers at that Despatch Box are making boasts.
They are saying that "real-terms increases" have been given by them to the NHS. However, NHS is in huge distress and the same can be seen one and all across the nation. It is clear that cataract operations are so restricted and Walk-In Centres as well as A&E departments are closed.
Also, the hospitals are at the edge of being burst as jobs have also been reduced. It has been found that almost 7000 or more nursing jobs have been lost.
In this regard, a letter was also sent to the Secretary of State by the Chair of the UK Statistics Authority, which asked him to unfold the curtain over the Ministers' statements. "The Prime Minister has cut the NHS. Today, we invite the Secretary of State today to correct the Parliamentary record in person", Burnham said.

Gynecomastia is
overdevelopment of the male breast. The glandular tissue of the breast swells,
usually in response to an excess of the female hormone
estrogen or a lack of
testosterone, a male hormone. It occurs in babies,
teen boys, and older men.
In newborns, gynecomastia
is caused by estrogen from the mother. Breast buds are common in baby boys. Breast buds tend to
go away gradually by 6 months of age, but they can last longer in some babies.
In preteen boys,
breast buds are common during puberty. They may
last up to 2 years, but they tend to go away within the first year. In a few cases, it has been linked to regular use of lavender
or tea tree oil in certain lotions or oils.1
Gynecomastia can also be caused by an estrogen-producing tumor.
In teen boys, gynecomastia occurs in more than 60% of boys during early puberty to middle
puberty. This resolves in 70% of boys within 1 year and 90% of boys in 2
years. It is caused by the
hormonal changes of
When gynecomastia occurs in adult males, it is usually caused by another
condition, such as liver or lung cancer,
cirrhosis of the liver, overactive thyroid, or by
hormone problems, such as cancer of the
pituitary gland,
adrenal glands, or testicles. Alcohol, marijuana,
methamphetamine, and heroin use also may cause gynecomastia.
of certain medicines may also cause gynecomastia, including:
In addition to having
enlarged breasts, men or boys with gynecomastia may notice their breasts feel
rubbery or firm. Boys may have a breast bud on one or both sides about the size
of a nickel or quarter. Breast buds are common in adolescent boys
during puberty. They may last up to 2 years, but they tend to go away within
the first year.
Gynecomastia can
usually be diagnosed from a physical examination and medical history. In most
cases, tests are not necessary. But if the breast lump is unusually large,
one-sided, tender, or hard and fixed, a biopsy may be done to rule out other
Any man with a one-sided breast lump should let his
doctor know if he has close relatives who have had breast cancer (mother,
sister, or daughter). If there is any concern about cancer, a lump can be
checked with a biopsy or surgery.
Gynecomastia in babies and teens
normally does not require treatment and will usually resolve on its own. If
caused by medicine or disease, stopping the medicine or treating the disease
will often cure the gynecomastia. If caused by a lack of testosterone and
increase in estrogen, hormonal treatment may be prescribed.

Stop me if you've heard this one before. Apple announces in January that iTunes will switch from fixed pricing ($0.99) to variable pricing ($1.29, $0.99, $0.69) on music singles in April. Reports follow that show Apple was forced to concede on variable pricing -- something long demanded by the music labels -- in exchange for getting permission to provide over the air (OTA) music downloads via the 3G and EDGE networks on the iPhone. (Whether that concession was ultimately good or bad for consumers we'll argue another day).
April comes, and just as Apple says, variable pricing hits the US iTunes Store. And the interwebs darn near 'splodes in crazy. Apple is the devil. Amazon is cheaper. People will flock to MP3. Here's a great way to switch over to buying from some store that is other!
The sun sets, the furor spreads, a new day dawns and -- Boom! -- we find out Amazon MP3 and Walmart are -- surprise surprise -- also raising prices.
Shocked. Shocked are we to find out gouging is going on by Big Media!

This will probably force people to downloading illegally more often. $1.29 for one song is kind of ridiculous if you ask me.
They also gave into record companies to get DRM free tracks as the norm. So for 29 cents more you get DRM free and a much higher bitrate so it's not that bad.
Another part of me is actually happy becuase I love music / bands, but now everyone just downloads one track from here, one track from there. It's kind of sad the idea of an album is almost gone. I say this because it seems like the album prices are still at $9.99, maybe encourage people to buy albums again.
Well then not all but most bands should have more then 1 or 2 songs on their album worth buying. These days if you buy a album you are usually buying it for 1 or 2 tracks since many tracks are garbage these days...
Recording industry= biggest idiots. I was ok with 99 cents a song, but song be paying 1.29 for it
Won't.......stupid iPhone
Are there any anti-trust lawyers working in the Obama Administration yet?
Sadly, I've heard Biden is pro Big Media, and they'll be staffing with pro-ACTA/DMCA types :(
Until music is offered uncompressed I'll never purchase music for download OTA or otherwise.
@Steve: Please refrain from pointing fingers as the "worthless freaks" as you so eliquently put it, exist across all genres of music. One that same note they will continue to exist as long as people buy what their selling.
You are a very articulate speaker. This is a well reasoned site.
