ICBA Thanks Congress for Passing Top ICBA Tax Priorities
NOL Relief and Homebuyer Tax Credit Will Boost Economy
Washington, D.C. (November 4, 2009)—The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) today praised Senate lawmakers for backing top ICBA tax priorities including the five-year Net Operating Loss (NOL) relief measure and the expanded homebuyer tax credit as part of H.R.3548, the Worker, Homeownership and Business Act of 2009. ICBA calls on Congress to quickly pass this legislation and send it to President Obama to sign into law.
"When the economy first slipped into a decline, ICBA recommended and advocated a robust homebuyer tax credit and expanded NOL as top tax priorities to be included in any economic recovery package. ICBA appreciates the Senate's passage of these beneficial tax measures that will help many of the nation's more than 8,000 community banks and the small businesses they serve," said Camden R. Fine, ICBA president and CEO. "The extension of the NOL carryback from two years to five will aid more businesses that suffered losses during the deep recession and will improve their cash flow and ability to support the economy as it begins to recover."
The expanded NOL measure is a top ICBA tax priority and is especially important because banks have limited ability to use their deferred tax assets in Tier 1 regulatory capital. ICBA also praised the extension of the homebuyer tax credit because it's a prime way to help stabilize home prices, the real- estate market and the broader financial sector.
- In sum, the $8,000 homebuyer tax credit is extended to contracts signed by April 30, 2010. A new $6,500 tax credit is available for certain homeowners moving to a different home. Expanded income caps are now $150,000 for singles and $225,000 for joint filers using the credit.
- The NOL relief will allow more businesses to receive a tax refund by offsetting 2008 or 2009 losses against profits in the previous five years (limited to 50 percent for the year-five carryback).
ICBA thanks the Senate for passing this vital legislation and will continue to advocate removing punitive TARP restrictions on the use of the NOL. For more information on the NOL and homebuyer tax relief efforts, visit ICBA's web site at www.icba.org.

Video:String a Christmas Popcorn Garlandwith Heidi Dehncke-Fisher
Popcorn garland is a classic holiday decoration for your Christmas tree. Try these tips to make stringing your popcorn garland easier, and see alternative decorations to add sparkle to your garland.See Transcript
Transcript:String a Christmas Popcorn GarlandHi! I'm Heidi Dehncke-Fisher and welcome to About.com. Christmas is such a special time of year, and one of the things I really enjoy making is popcorn garland.
Popcorn Garland Stringing SuppliesYou're going to need approximately 3-6 bags of microwaveable popcorn. You're also going to need: a 15 oz. box of golden raisins, and you're going to need a 12 oz. bag of cranberries, a fairly thin sewing needle, pretty strong type of thread (usually button hole thread is used, or it just says super strong thread), and a pair of scissors.
Adding Accents to Your Popcorn GarlandIf you want to add a little pizzazz to your popcorn one of the things you can use to add some color is food coloring or you can even use some glitter. It does add some nice accents.
Cut the Popcorn Garland StringSo, what I'm going to do is, here's 3 feet approximately and I'm going to actually double it to make my first strand. And I am going to line up the two ends and just get it even. Got it.
Knot the Garland StringAlright, line up the end of your thread. And now you're going to make your knot and what I would suggest because we are making the garland in sections is you leave about 3 or 4 inches of thread beyond the knot so that you can use this extra length to actually tie the sections together. So you need to keep re-knotting the same knot over and over, like maybe 4 or 5 times until you feel it's pretty big.
Stringing the Popcorn GarlandI think it looks nicer and makes stringing the thread easier if you insert the needle through the cranberry, lengthwise, from one end to the other. And if there's any resistance, another trick you can use is to take the back side of the needle and push it against the table or a hard surface, and that helps the sharper end come through. And then you can just pull it all the way down to the knot that you made.
The next thing I did was I actually used the golden raisins, which I think adds a nice shimmer to the garland. So, there's five of these, that's one. And they're not as hard to get through as the cranberries are.
Popcorn Garland Stringing TipsSo, what I try to do is look for one that has a really skinny middle part, that has a little more substance to it so that I know when I put the needle through that it's not going to break apart too easily. But you want to just gently push it through. You don't want to force it and you don't want to squeeze it with the hand that you're holding it.
You don't want to squeeze it really tight you just want to be gentle, and pull the needle through. As you can see, were pretty far along on this now. We just need to add the next popcorn section and finish it off with the raisins and cranberries.
Finish the Popcorn GarlandSo, I am going to take this end and I am going to tie it together and keep knotting just like we've been doing the entire time. Just to ensure the strength of the connections. Snip.
This is also a really fun thing you can do with your kids because they really enjoy not only stringing the popcorn, but eating it. Thanks for watching to learn more visit us on the Web at About.com.

Traumatic Abdominal Hernias: When to Operate
Page 1 of 2
An 82-year-old man presented to the ED with abdominal pain. While walking in his yard he had fallen onto a two-inch-diameter piece of steel rebar. EMS reported seeing a locally expanding area while the patient was being prepared for transport. He had no history of surgery or swelling in the affected region.
On examination the patient was normotensive without signs of shock. He had a small abrasion on his head but did not lose consciousness, showed no altered mental status, and did not have a headache or focal neurological signs. His abdomen revealed a well-circumscribed area where the rebar impacted, with an abrasion extending inferiorly. His abdomen was soft, tender only over the abrasion, with no rebound or guarding or abnormal bowel sounds. There were no other positive exam findings.
Labwork, including CBC and creatinine, was normal. An abdominal CT with
contrast showed a left lateral abdominal wall hernia. The hernia had a
four-centimeter neck and contained colon without findings of
obstruction, perforation, or significant hematoma.
The patient developed a post-operative ileus and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation but was discharged home in stable condition twelve days later.

Citizens Step Up As Leaders Waffle on Climate Change
At the eleventh hour, the United Nations climate summit in Warsaw, Poland, came up with an agreement that falls short of meaningful action on climate change.
While international leaders gathered in Warsaw, on November 16, 2013, Canadians rallied in over 130 communities for Defend our Climate! Defend our Communities!, a national day of action on tar sands expansion and climate change.
"From big cities to small towns across B.C. and across the country, people from all walks of life are standing together against pipelines and tankers," says Sierra Club BC director of campaigns, Caitlyn Vernon. "We are calling on our provincial and federal leaders to heed the clear evidence from the scientific community and take action now to prevent runaway climate change."
Take action now to tell the B.C. government that we need to act now on climate change and reject further fossil fuel expansion projects in our province.
A recent Canada 2020/Université de Montréal National Survey of Canadian Opinions on Climate Change showed that 84% of Canadians believe the federal government should take the lead on combating climate and that 71% of Canadians believe that climate change should be a top priority for the Conservative federal government.
Instead, our provincial and federal governments are promoting further fossil fuel development, representing oil and business interests and not the people they have been elected to represent.
"Our biggest concern is that governments are ignoring the most important conclusion of climate science: that we have a limited budget for carbon pollution before we hit the wall," says Sierra Club BC climate campaigner, Jens Wieting. "Time is running out but governments are not committing to action today."
In short, the summit, known as COP19, reconfirmed their goal to achieve a new universal climate agreement in Paris in 2015, but there was no meaningful progress on details of what this agreement should look like. A working group was established to develop a financing plan for $100 billion which industrialized countries will provide per year to developing nations to help mitigate the effects of climate change and industrial states want to finance reforestation projects worldwide.
At the summit, Canada was called out as worst climate performer in the developed world. Canada came last in the new edition of the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI), released by CAN Europe and Germanwatch and in a survey of the OECD on environmental protection, losing points for climate policy on both international and national levels. The Canadian government has been criticized for pulling out of Kyoto, for not supporting renewable energy strategies and for failing to take effective action on cutting greenhouse emissions.
Climate change is not some abstract concept for the future; it is already here. Last week's typhoon in the Philippines is only one tragic example of increasing numbers of extreme weather events occurring around the globe.
Here in B.C., we already feel the effects of climate change. Local communities have been affected by extreme drought, floods, bark beetles, and an acidifying ocean. At the same time, B.C. is poised to become a gateway for global warming, an exit port for shipping dirty fossil fuels to overseas markets. Our Premier actively promotes LNG projects and appears to be waffling on her former rejection of the proposed Enbridge pipeline.
Take action now to tell the B.C. government to reject new oil pipelines, more tankers and other forms of expansion of fossil fuel production.
The good news is that, because of our extraordinary natural landscapes and abundant natural resources, British Columbia has greater opportunities to reduce emissions in the short term than other parts of the world. By moving quickly to a low-carbon economy and by conserving rainforests and seagrass beds that store carbon safely, we can not only reduce emissions but also reduce carbon in the atmosphere.

Having seen
this thread about the reissue Blue/Olive Acrolites posted by NerfLad
I did some digging around and realised that they were going for
a lot
less in the US than in the UK so I thought why the bloody hell not? The reissue 405 which I bought from a shop in Illinois was - I swear to Gadd -
the price for what shops in London were selling them. Even after postage, import VAT, and some pikey "clearance fee" that the Post Office charged me, the whole thing worked out as about 70% of London prices. It was also about 17.5% less than what a standard 405 Blacrolite costs over here.
Anyway, it finally arrived today and
Chuffing Nora
do I like this snare: I mean, sure, it's probably the ugliest drum you're likely to see (though perhaps prettier than the Blacrolite) and in places the build quality is
[small patch of rust under the batter hoop, worst snare butt-plate ever, and the good-old P85 (YAY . . . BOO . . . YAY . . . BOO . . . etc)], but even with the stock Ludwig heads (again, not the best I've seen) this snare is so
. I don't have any microphones in my house other than on my phone so I can't really convey the sound that this thing makes, but it's along the lines of
So three cheers to the eagle-eyed NerfLad and to the good old Acro.

Took some time to break in/get used to.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought my first pair of Tevas in the early 90's. For years, the only thing that touched my feet were sandals or ski boots. I regularly approach climbs in flip flops. I have spent summers walking Europe in Flip flops... Yet for whatever reason, these sandals took some serious getting used to. I've used them dry, wet, hiking etc. At the end of a long day my feet were sore. The sides where the straps connect at the heal is where my feet would get sore and my toes would feel friction. I finally figured that looser in the straps works better for me.
Also, the first time I used them in the South Eastern Utah desert, one of the straps stopped working. I got home, washed them, used softner as directed. It is almost impossible to get one of the toe straps to move on one sandal. I can't imagine floating the river and constantly walking in sand and not having this be a problem.
According to everyone else loving these, I assume that I have something strange in one of my sandals preventing the strap from sliding.
I definitely like these better now than I did at first. I especially like them for approach and belaying when at the crag. It just took a while for them and my feet to come together.
Long break in period (for me) and the strap issue make them a 3 star for me. They say use the arch as a feel for size; but, I definitely would say go down if you are a half size since these only come in whole sizes.
Wow... long review.
shaun Moyes
Follow up after owning these for several years and putting them through a lot:
I don't hate them enough to replace them and I do use them on a very regular basis; however, there is no way my next pair of sandals will be another pair of Chacos. This is not based on durability in anyway. These are tough and the straps and soles have worn well. I still enjoy these for certain scenarios like approach and desert hikes etc. Non the less, these have never been truly comfortable and both left and right sandals have straps that are completely impossible to adjust due to sand in the holes.
I will miss the sole of these Chacos; but, not the lack of comfort or strap issues.
Again, I don't hate them enough to replace them now; but, I don't enjoy them enough to buy another pair. I would be interested to hear if others have had stuck strap issues. I cannot see how they wouldn't.

Font to Film: "Fantastic Mr. Fox"Submitted by Fun at Foster on April 11, 2014 - 2:47pm
Typically when a book is adapted for the screen the general tone and thematic content remain the same, even if specific events or characters are shuffled around. Fantastic Mr. Fox is a rare exception to this rule. Originally a children's book written in 1970 by Roald Dahl, it was adapted to film by Wes Anderson nearly forty years later—and anyone who is familiar with Anderson's other works will be unsurprised with how his version turned out.
|Roald Dahl's story is fairly straightforward: Mr. Fox makes his living by stealing chickens and other delicacies from three local farmers who despise him as a result. The farmers begin to hunt Mr. Fox, who must use his fantastic wit to protect his family and the other inhabitants of the forest. Bearing in mind that this is a book for children, there are still a couple of pretty strong themes present which merit some discussion. For instance, while Dahl's farmers are presented as disgusting, vindictive men clearly destined to be the antagonists of any narrative, the fact remains that Mr. Fox is, at the end of the day, a thief. Concerns over whether glorifying such a lifestyle is appropriate for a young audience tend to be dismissed on the grounds that stealing is not, in fact, all that bad if it is a.) done to feed one's family and b.) the victims are bad people. But Fantastic Mr. Fox is also a book about obsession, specifically on the part of the farmers, whose actions not only drive the plot but solidify their position as corrupt—or at least corruptible—characters. From a child's perspective, it's easy to see that they are villains, and to believe that villains deserve to be bested by heroes as clever and capable as Mr. Fox.
|It should be mentioned right off the bat that Wes Anderson's version of Fantastic Mr. Fox expands the narrative substantially, taking a children's book of under a hundred pages and turning it into a fairly intricate and frantically-paced comedy. A simple example of this expansion is the portrayal of Mr. Fox—voiced by George Clooney—as a far more complex character, one who struggles to support his family while wrestling with an overblown sense of pride. Anderson interprets the book's title ironically; Mr. Fox is less fantastic than flawed, leaving room for a significant transformation that simply wasn't present in Dahl's version. The supporting characters are fleshed out as well; Mrs. Fox (Meryl Streep) is no longer one-dimensionally unwavering in her devotion to her husband, and the four fox children are replaced by one brooding son and a curiously-enlightened nephew. Overall, the plot is the same: Mr. Fox makes his living stealing from three farmers who make it their mission to eradicate him and his family from their property. However, the addition of several new scenes and a more fleshed-out cast allows for the exploration of a few additional themes, such as coming to terms with one's nature and intrinsic value while trying to develop a place in the world relative to those around you—be they friend or foe.
Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr. Fox is available to borrow at E.P. Foster Library as part of the second-floor juvenile fiction collection. Wes Anderson's film version is available at several branches of the Ventura County Library; if the book or DVD is not on the shelf at your local branch, you can request for it to be delivered to the branch of your choosing in person, over the phone, or online through our catalog.

The Month of the Military ChildSubmitted by Fun at Foster on April 8, 2014 - 9:21am
In 1986, Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger designated each April as "The Month of the Military Child" to celebrate the contributions and inspiration of military children. There are approximately two million military children ranging in age from newborn to 18 years old; 1.3 million military children are school-aged. April is a time to acknowledge the strength and resilience of children who grow up in a unique and often changing environment and to reinforce that the health and well-being of military children contributes to the strength of our Armed Forces as a whole.
As the daughter of a lifetime Army veteran, I know how challenging, as well as rewarding, it can be to grow up as an "Army Brat." We only saw our extended family in between deployments, if we had enough time. The longest time I ever lived in any one place was three-and-a-half years. I attended three different high schools in three years. This was "normal" for us. I look at the photos from my childhood and I see loving parents who did their best to create a home, no matter where we lived. As long as we were together, we were home.
Military children have a unique heritage and may not always understand civilian life. When asked about our "hometown" we may choose a location where we particularly enjoyed living, the place we lived the longest, or one of our parents' hometowns. Today's military children have different dilemmas to deal with than when I was growing up. My mom was a WAC, but she left the service when she married my dad. Today, many military children may have both parents in the service.
Ventura County is home to two military bases, Pt. Mugu Naval Air Station and Port Hueneme Navy Base. There are many families who make use of our libraries, including E.P. Foster. We have a number of materials available that focus on military children and their families.

In 1989, John Grisham's first novel, A Time to Kill, was released. Though it initially had a modest showing, the novel ultimately became a best-seller, even being made into a feature film in 1996. Twenty-four years later we have Sycamore Row (2013), Grisham's latest offering, which reunites readers with the time, place, and familiar characters from his incredible debut.
|A master of the legal thriller, Grisham is also returning to the subject of race relations in Sycamore Row. Jake Brigance is a Mississippi lawyer facing an interesting case. An elderly and extremely wealthy man has hanged himself after penning an alternate will that cuts off his immediate family and leaves the bulk of his estate to his African-American housekeeper. Brigance has been chosen to ensure that the will is faithfully executed—largely due to the reputation he earned in A Time to Kill—which proves difficult once the deceased's next-of-kin learn they have been passed-over. In working the case he partners with several familiar faces, including Lucien Wilbanks and Harry Rex Vonner from A Time to Kill. Sycamore Row's place on the New York Times Best Seller List testifies to Grisham's ability to write complex legal fiction in a way that is engaging and leaves the reader ready for more.
|If you can't get your hands on Sycamore Row right away, consider looking into The Reversal (2010), by Michael Connelly. Being a NoveList Plus read-alike for Grisham's latest, the two have a lot in common: they are both legal thrillers, they both have fast-paced, suspenseful storylines, and they both revisit a recurring character from their author's extended universe. Mickey Haller is a defense attorney, first introduced to readers in The Lincoln Lawyer (2005). In The Reversal, however, Haller is called upon to join the prosecution for a case involving a man whose conviction for killing a young girl has been recently overturned. Haller agrees to work on the retrial along with his ex-wife and half-brother, both characters fans of Connelly will be familiar with—Haller's half-brother Harry Bosch is actually the subject of his own series of books by Connelly. Like Grisham, Connelly manages to write courtroom scenes in a way that turns even routine procedures into page-turning scenes.
|Rounding out this legal suspense trio is I Heard That Song Before (2007), by Mary Higgins Clark. When she was a child, Kay Lansing—the daughter of a gardener who worked on an estate owned by the Carrington family—overheard a suspicious exchange involving desperation and blackmail. Now 28 years old, Kay returns to the estate to ask a favor of its present owner, Peter Carrington, and finds herself falling in love with him. But Peter has a shady past, having been suspected of involvement with the death of a teenage girl years before, not to mention the death of his pregnant wife some time later. As the accusations unfold, Kay struggles with the faith she has in her husband on the one hand and a gnawing sense of doubt on the other. Ultimately, she learns that finding the truth might mean putting herself in significant danger. While Clark's formula may feel familiar to her avid fans, it will most likely keep you guessing until the very end.
Sycamore Row, The Reversal, and I Heard That Song Before are all available to borrow at E.P. Foster Library. You can also access NoveList Plus from our eLibrary's Reading Suggestions section. If the book you are interested in is not currently on the shelf at your branch, you can always request a copy either in-person, over the phone, or online through our catalog.

There's no guarantee the TV show 'Battle Creek' will be filmed in the area, but some locals think downtown would make for interesting scenery.
- Filed Under
Vince Gilligan has crested the wave of popular opinion with an Emmy in hand this week. As his much-talked-about TV show "Breaking Bad" reaches its own dire conclusion, a new project has come to light - one that resonated with the people of Battle Creek.
There's not much to know about the show "Battle Creek" at this moment. Reports are it's set in Michigan. Gilligan wrote the pilot 10 years ago, but the script didn't find success until now. It's owned by Sony Pictures Television and CBS has ordered episodes for 2014. David Shore, producer of "House," is going to be involved. The plot involves two ...


text: Tweet photo by dymidziuk.janusz (Flickr CC) Four major power companies warned that the post-Fukujima backlash against nuclear power in Germany country could result in future winter blackouts. These blackouts would ostensibly occur if Germany decides to decommission all its nuclear power stations. The companies claim that solar and wind power could not meet demand in the case of insufficiently windy or sunny weather. Chancellor Angela Merkel recently signaled she would support closing all of Germany's 17 nuclear power stations by 2022. Seven nuclear power stations have been off-grid ever since Merkel announced in the immediate aftermath of the Fukushima disaster a "three-month moratorium" on her controversial decision last year to extend the lives of the plants. –Guardian So far the German grid has coped with the loss of these 7 plants. Germany notably still relies on coal for the largest share of its energy (42%) with nuclear supplying 22.3%, followed by renewables at 16.5% and natural gas at 13.6%. Read more on that story in the Guardian. Merkel may simply be trying to win back votes that are being lost to the Green Party, which historically beat her governing CDU coalition in local elections for the city-state of Bremen. Meanwhile in Japan– the country most affecting German nuclear policy despite its being located across the globe – utility company Tepco confirmed meltdowns of two more reactors at Fukushima Daiichi power plant following the earthquake and resultant tsunami that rocked the north-east of the country on March 11th. Tepco claims the melted fuel rods in these reactors were covered with water and did not reach dangerous temperatures. Both the energy company and the Japanese government are receiving criticism over keeping this information from the public. Like Germany, Japan has backed away from nuclear power since the disaster and is looking more towards renewables, though not to the extent of its European counterpart. From another article in the Guardian: The prime minister, Naoto Kan, will unveil plans at the G8 summit in Deauville, France, to require all new buildings to be fitted with solar panels by 2030, the Nikkei business newspaper said. According to the US Government Energy Information Administration, Japan is the 3rd larges consumer of nuclear energy. Data from 2008 details Japan's energy use as follows: Oil 46%, coal 21%, natural gas 17%, nuclear 11%, hydro 3%, other renewables 1%.

Trouble using the MacPro
Hi all,
I have a MacPro 3.1 of which I already read quite a bit on this forum :) I use a Philips 19" CRT monitor on the system (yes, I know...). Strange things are happening.. Oh, my previous harddisk is gone, so I replaced it, but it should have nothing to do with what's going on.
I start up the system, nice bong, but white screen. Nothing else. No flashing lights and everything responds. I stuffed in an Ubuntu Alternate AMD64 CD and it installed like a charm. Textmodes are fine. Weirdly, after it boots X, lots of artifacts appear. But it's not always like that! Some boots, everything is fine. Even though I can't work out what I'm actually booting, because of that white screen.
Booting a MacOSX DVD is the same. It takes some time, booting the DVD with the C pressed down, and the Apple logo appears and so does the star like thing... Unfortunately, my present DVD seems to be damaged, so the install process doesn't continue, but the Mac was given to me by a friend who DOES have a proper DVD, but same problems there. White screen, nice looking graphics and suddenly, everything crooked.
It seemed to me, if the videocard is broken, why do some videomodes, most of the time, work properly, also the high resolution ones? And where does that starting white screen come from?
Hope anyone can shed some light on all of this.... It's frustrating not to be able to use this great machine..
Cheers, Bas.
How exactly do you have the CRT connected to the Mac? Since the Mac Pro would only support digital signals (i.e. via DVI), and since CRT monitors are analog (I suppose there are exceptions), I'm betting that the Mac is trying to use a display resolution unsupported by the monitor.
I just removed the CMOS battery to replace it. INterestingly enough the clip holding it in place broke off (it feld like it was soldered in place on the battery), so that could be fun to fix..
The AMD64 version just is a 64 bits version of Ubuntu. It has nothing to do whether it's Intel or AMD. It did run like a charm, as long as it doesn't do something in the software that will create those weird screen things. When kept as simple as possible, I can pretty much run it at any resolution in Ubuntu without any issues at all..

How can I backup VMware virtual machines with size larger than 2 TB?
I know about these materials:
And about troubles with Remote Agent for Windows backups:
My custorem want to provide offsite backups of VMware virtual machines to tape library Dell PowerVault TL2000.
Please offer a solution and tell me how can I backup VMware virtual machines with size larger than 2 TB?
Comments 1 Comment • Jump to latest comment
if you look at the first document you quoted you can see that it depends on code changes from VMware.
However to answer your question have you tried the workarounds mentioned in the same document, for instance a standard remote agent backup, although this may also have problems if a database is stored on the volume (Exchange or SQL etc) and a 4k sector size is in use (instead of 512byte)

Lily Allen secures ticket to Cheltenham Gold Cup after Twitter plea
Posted: February 11, 2013|
Lily Allen has been inundated with offers to take her to the Cheltenham Gold Cup following an Internet plea.
The Cotswold singer, who has just given birth to her second child, tweeted on Saturday that she wanted a ticket to the prestigious event.
Plenty of replies flooded in, inviting the star from Cranham along, as well as offering to be her personal tipster for the day.
And it seems to have paid off for Lily as Cheltenham Racecourse got in contact with her directly to offer her a ticket.
Through her account, @lilyrosecooper, she said: "If anyone wants to invite me to Cheltenham Gold Cup day I'd be totally fine with that."
So it looks as though she will be one of many famous faces at Prestbury Park from March 12 to 15.

Emmett's Baptism
Not exactly Fia Friday, but she was surely a part of our big event in Wisconsin last week. As was Phil's entire extended family.
I consider myself more spiritual than religious, but regardless of who/what one worships, it's a touching event to behold. It was an honor and privilege to stand by my boy as the holy water flowed.
Phil's dad is an Episcopalian priest ("The Rev" above) and has baptized all of his children and grandchildren. The dress that all the babies wear (boys or girls) has been in their family for 65 years. And even though Em looked like a girl in it, he grunted like the little magical boy he is. Bless You, Baby. Namaste.

Did you know that if a child goes all summer without engaging his or her brain by reading, he or she could lose some of the previous school year's lessons? Educators call it "summer loss."
Did you know that if a child regularly reads throughout the summer that he or she can make gains in reading vocabulary and comprehension?
The research of James Sangil Kim, assistant professor of education at Harvard University, suggests that students who read at least eight high-interest books at their level over the summer can achieve approximately the same reading growth gains as summer students.
Notice he said "high interest" and "at their level." That's why it's so helpful to bring them to the library to choose their own books.
We've taken several steps to help you find a book at your child's level, and the five-finger rule helps. Here's how it works: Once they find a book that interests them, have them open it to the middle and read a whole page aloud to you. Every time they stumble on a word, they put up a finger. If they miss five words, that book would be great for you to read aloud to them, but would probably be frustrating for them to read alone. If a book is too easy, it helps with fluency and confidence, but may not produce summer gains.
Not only do we have a great selection of high-interest books, but we also help motivate rising first-graders and older! Pick up a reading log in front of the Story Room or print one from cityofcrestview.org/library.php. Every day that participants read at least 15 minutes, they earn a funny money dollar. If they turn their reading log in by July 24, they can come to the Crestview Community Center on July 30 to shop at the Funny Money Store.
Let's make this a "summer gain" kind of summer!
Happy Fourth of July! We'll be closed to observe Independence Day, but enjoy the city fireworks and fun!
Heather Nitzel is the Crestview Public Library's youth services librarian.

B. Approval of Minutes for March 18, 2010.
The minutes were approved as
C. USAC Committee Reports
1. Community Service - Rob Boley, Jacqui Neal, Curt Pederson -
Still waiting on funding issues but should know shortly.
2. Compensation, Benefits, and Equity - Denise
Anderson, David Bringhurst, Mary Healea, Jerry Hensley, Kevin Knapp, Jason Kohlhepp, Kiel Rottgen
- The group is meeting on a regular basis, every Friday at 11. David
read a
document that the committee recommends USAC forward to WSU administration requesting information and input on the upcoming budget for
FY2010-11. Curt
suggested trying to meet with Robert Sweeney on May 5 before
approving this statement. Trying to get this approved by the end of
April due to the FY2010-11 Budget, even though we know we won't make
much of an impact on this budget, but hoping to have a voice for
fiscal year '11. David
asked USAC members to authorize Curt to begin discussions with
administration with our budget issues: Motion approved.
3. Newsletter - Rob Boley, Kary Brigger, Wendy Riddell - Staff
Development Day date is wrong on the
draft newsletter.
Suggested doing this after our monthly meetings to promote open
communication with unclassified staff- We want your feedback added
to the newsletter. Need to change the USAC website – contact us
needs to go to Curt and not Chris. 'You asked we answered' type
thing on the letter. First time going out should be an email blast
to let unclassified staff know it's going to be a link on the
Employee Tab on WINGS. Next step would be to push it to the new
Newsletter tab that will be on WINGS in the future. Lake Campus
should be mentioned on the newsletter each month. Naming the
newsletter-maybe have this as a contest at our open forum.
4. Nominations - Denise Anderson, Rob Boley, Kiel Rottgen - No
real update; things don't happen until the end of April.
D. WSU Committee Reports
1. Athletic Council - Vivian Mitchell - Megan Watson spoke about
some athletics-related issues. Men's basketball coach Brad Brownell
accepted the head coaching job at Clemson for $1 million. New head
coach named as Billy Donlon for a smaller salary than Brad had at
$200000. This saves the university money and Brad will be paying
back $50000 for the contract breakage. Women's basketball is in
search for new coach- new coach's salary will be similar to Billy's
due to the gender equity issues.
2. Diversity Advocacy Council - Megan Watson -
Notes attached.
3. Parking Services - John Holm -
No report.
4. Semester Conversion Committee - Chris Wydman - Still stopped
with faculty-go to website for more information on latest news. RFP
for teaching enhancements submitted. This afternoon webinar on
academic advising being sponsored by semesters committee.
Negotiations are ongoing, but really getting in a time crunch. WAC
and CORE items need to be in place by Summer to be able to catch up.
5. Sustainability - Karen Strider-Iiames -
Notes attached.
6. University Dining Services - Melissa Vanzant - No report.
7. Wellness and Recreation - Craig This - Notes attached. Staff
picnic dates are Tuesday, May 25th (Lake Campus) and Tuesday, June
15th (Main Campus). WIN-Women in Nature event is on Saturday, May 1.
USAC will most likely do a 50/50 Raffle again at the picnic, but we
need to get a table and decide on a charity.
8. WSU Bookstore - Mary Healea - Spring quarter was the first quarter to start renting text books-1250 transactions-very successful. And will increase the number of titles offered each quarter. Rental of the clickers-not doing that at this time but considering.
9. WSU Staff Council - Jacqueline Neal, Mary Healea, Rob Boley, Curt
Pederson, Chris Wydman - No report.
10. WSU SC President's Award for Excellence - Kevin Knapp, Chris Wydman
- Nominations are open. Everyone is encouraged to submit nominations -
deadline is the 23rd. You now need 2 letters of support instead of 3. Website is updated with changes.
11. WSU SC Human Resources Committee - Jacqueline Neal, Mary Healea, Rob Boley,
Curt Pederson, Chris Wydman - Automated leave system is going to phase 2
of testing (looking for testers) and hope by this summer. HR Survey
online has had 570 visits with 50 individuals completing it since
October. HR is going to close out the survey and relaunch it soon,
with additional promotion. The final version of the revised job
abolishment letter is out and getting looked at one more time. HSA website problems have been fixed. Bill pay was open on
April 12.
The group discussed hiring practices. Certain positions on campus have
required background check, but not everyone is required to have
one…possibly need to have this in place for ALL employees. Under the
new healthcare reform, dependent coverage goes up to 26, but Ohio
already approved up to 28. Also under the new healthcare reform, on
Jan 1st, flex plan or HSA carriers will no longer be able to get
reimbursed for OTC meds. Increase to 20% tax penalty for improper health reimbursement.
The employee separation checklist is almost complete. CSAC revised
the CECS checklist and submitted it to HR. They already have one and
are comparing the two to make one for the entire university to use.
Also discussed were issues with files on employee's computers and making sure the right files are saved in the correct manner.
E. Other Business
OPERS feedback from the sessions has
been positive. OPERS will post the PPT online on their
USAC, CSAC, Staff Council should take
over this-May 5-Robert meeting –to talk about this
issue…Sessions are all the same as what the ODL office
offers-SDD needs to be changed. Workload is an issue.
Different views on how this SDD should be handled. Agreed
that lunchtime is a great thing where lots of conversation
happens. Networking is a big deal and highly looked upon.
F. Adjournment and Next Meeting
The meeting was adjourned by Curt Pederson, USAC Chair, at 10:36 a.m. The next meeting is in 339 Fawcett on
Thursday, May 20th @ 9:00 a.m.

Floyd Mayweather Vs Andre Berto Is Still A Dumpster Fire
Floyd Mayweather vs Andre Berto is still a dumpster fire. It's a slightly different dumpster fire than when we first discussed what a dumpster fire it was, so you get a picture of a different dumpster fire than last time. How's it different?

Knockout Of The Year Candidate Alert: Claudio Marrero Vs Rico Ramos

After winning his first 20, Rico Ramos has now lost five of his last nine, none more savagely than against Claudio Marrero.

When the people form Arquitectos Ayala decided to enter the competition to design the new public theatre in Xàtiva, Spain, they ascended the nearby Mont Sant near the old fortress to get a better view of the site.
There, they could see how the avenue Alameda divided the old town from the new, and also marked a significant shift in levels and building heights of around 6m. They knew at that moment that the successful scheme would have to negotiate these level differences and integrate both the old and new towns.
As a result of these observations they spent much of their design time doing just that, and now it is built, the theatre has become a place to meet in the metaphorical as well as the physical sense. Read more

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

AHMEDABAD/NEW DELHI/KOCHI: Domestic prices of dairy and chocolate products are unlikely to come down anytime soon despite milk, coffee, cocoa and sugar becoming up to 20% cheaper than a year ago.
Leading dairy food, chocolate and coffee players such as Amul, Cadbury Kraft, Nestle, Britannia and Parle are unlikely to cut prices because, some of them say, the dip in the cost of raw materials is seasonal. They, however, believe they will not have to increase prices for some time.

Bowls in Dilhorne
Posted: July 02, 2014|
It was a case of third time lucky for Dilhorne Ladies' Janet Salmon in the Sentinel Rose Bowl final.
She battled tenaciously beat Liz Rowley (Bucknall Private) 21-20 on the Meir Social green to claim the trophy, which before has narrowly eluded her grasp at the final stage.
Salmon had to use all her skills to beat Dilhorne team mate Chris Adams 21-20 in an equally tense semi-final, which set up a decider with Rowley, who had beaten Salmon's niece, Laura Hallsworth, in the last four.
A delighted Salmon said afterwards: "I've finished runner-up twice before and I had to do it the hard way this time around, beating my team mate Chris and then a great county bowler in Lizzy.
Related content
"I've been bowling with Chris for 20 years, but I wouldn't say that was any help when we went head-to-head. It was nip and tuck all the way and I just ended ahead.
"The final was the same. They were both really hard games. It was close all the way through, but thankfully I was able to get the win in the end."
Earlier in the month, Salmon and Hallsworth had bowled together to finish runners-up in the Dorothy Pierce Memorial Trophy.
Salmon confessed: "I've not been playing particularly well. You have good years and bad years, but I'm glad I was able to come good when it mattered in the Rose Bowl. We've had a good couple of years as a team with Dilhorne and a few of the girls have also won this trophy as individuals. It's nice to join them on the honours board."
Meanwhile, Salmon's Dilhorne team mates Carol Matthews and Stacey Brown have eased through to the third round of the Sentinel Fodens Doubles in their defence of the trophy.
