Mortgage bankers can leverage social media to better understand consumer preferences and respond with offers and services that more appropriately serve their needs. Here's how.
Social CRM is the use of social media to converse with customers and learn about their needs. It can help mortgage bankers understand where they need to improve. But to get the most benefit from Social CRM, mortgage bankers must listen carefully to what customers are saying, analyze what they are hearing, and then act on those insights to realize competitive advantage.
No industry has been more under siege over the past few years than mortgage banking. Originators have experienced the "triple whammy" of declining volumes, tighter guidelines and repurchase demands. Servicers are reeling from an explosion in the volume of defaults and are hamstrung by antiquated systems and processes.
New, prospective borrowers are asking for more information on services and products and want feedback before deciding on a mortgage bank. Existing borrowers are unhappy with their existing originator banks due to inadequate disclosure and communication or delays in responding to queries. Customers are unhappy with mortgage servicers for reasons including unclear guidelines on loss mitigation programs, delays in modification processing, poor communication and a general lack of responsiveness.
The same social media tools (such as Facebook) that customers use to keep in touch with their friends are also being used by companies such as Ford, Visa and Sears to communicate with and understand consumers. This is called Social CRM (or SCRM). It can help companies connect with current and potential customers, get feedback, respond quickly and identify opportunities for cross-selling.
By employing an integrated and comprehensive SCRM approach, mortgage banks can leverage the intelligence they gain to improve consumer perception, quality of service and market share. The main challenge facing such social media initiatives is the lack of long-term support from senior management, a lack of metrics to measure success and attempts to do too many things at the same time. Thus, their social media campaigns often lack the back-end support needed to convert opportunities into profits, or their content is too long or boring, or their marketing lacks punch.
Through our SCRM engagements in the industry, we have identified three critical steps mortgage banks should take to tap social media to boost their bottom lines.
Learn more about social CRM in the mortgage banking industry, how Cognizant's Customer Solutions Practice can put SCRM to work for you, and how Cognizant's Sentiment Analyzer applies novel algorithms to quickly identify meaningful customer opinions from social networks, blogs, surveys and news articles.

Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behaviorby Rom Brafman
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A fascinating journey into the hidden psychological influences that derail our decision-making, Sway will change the way you think about the way you think.
Why is it so difficult to sell a plummeting stock or end a doomed relationship? Why do we listen to advice just because it came from someone "important"? Why are we more likely to fall in love when there's danger involved? In Sway, renowned organizational thinker Ori Brafman and his brother, psychologist Rom Brafman, answer all these questions and more.
Drawing on cutting-edge research from the fields of social psychology, behavioral economics, and organizational behavior, Sway reveals dynamic forces that influence every aspect of our personal and business lives, including loss aversion (our tendency to go to great lengths to avoid perceived losses), the diagnosis bias (our inability to reevaluate our initial diagnosis of a person or situation), and the "chameleon effect" (our tendency to take on characteristics that have been arbitrarily assigned to us).
Sway introduces us to the Harvard Business School professor who got his students to pay $204 for a $20 bill, the head of airline safety whose disregard for his years of training led to the transformation of an entire industry, and the football coach who turned conventional strategy on its head to lead his team to victory. We also learn the curse of the NBA draft, discover why interviews are a terrible way to gauge future job performance, and go inside a session with the Supreme Court to see how the world's most powerful justices avoid the dangers of group dynamics.
Every once in a while, a book comes along that not only challenges our views of the world but changes the way we think. In Sway, Ori and Rom Brafman not only uncover rational explanations for a wide variety of irrational behaviors but also point readers toward ways to avoid succumbing to their pull.
An organizational thinker and a psychologist explores the ongoing dynamic, psychological forces that sabotage rational behavior in our personal and business lives, revealing how such factors as loss aversion, commitment, and the diagnosis bias distort logical thought and explaining how readers can avoid falling victim to them. 50,000 first printing.
About the Author
Ori Brafman is coauthor of The Starfish and the Spider and is a renowned organizational expert who regularly speaks before Fortune 500, governmental, and military audiences. A graduate of Stanford Business School, he lives in San Francisco.

MUCH ADDO. Mina Addo, most recently a legislative assistant for health care with Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., has joined Burness Communications in Bethesda, Md., as a senior associate for public policy. Addo will engage a similar slate of issues, but this time from the opposite direction. "When you're on the Hill, you're really in the thick of things," Addo says. "You have much faster access to information. It just feels [like] you're in the middle of where things happen. We still, obviously, engage with policymakers, but it's a little bit different -- you're coming from the outside." A native Washingtonian, Addo was transplanted into a frosty clime when her father got a job in Bismarck, N.D. "It was definitely much colder than anything I had experienced," she says, "but you know, you just kind of get used to it after a while." After receiving her bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan in 2000, Addo became a legislative correspondent in Dorgan's office, where she had interned in college. She then spent five years with the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and two more as a research associate with Russell Reynolds Associates, Inc., before returning to Dorgan's office in 2008.
BERMAN'S BAND. House Foreign Affairs Chairman Howard Berman has appointed three new professional staff members to the panel's majority staff. Thomas Omestad, who will handle special projects and investigations, was the diplomatic correspondent for U.S. News & World Report from 1997 to 2009 and more recently was a nonresident senior fellow at the Center for Transatlantic Relations, part of Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies. A 1982 graduate of the University of Minnesota, Omestad has reported from more than 50 countries for U.S. News, and has worked for the Los Angeles Times, Associated Press and Foreign Policy. Sajit Gandhi, the committee's new South Asia expert, worked at the National Security Archive before joining the State Department in 2004 as a presidential management fellow. From 2007-08, he was a consultant with The Cohen Group. He has a bachelor's degree from George Washington University and a master's in security studies from Georgetown University. Katherine Brown, taking charge of public diplomacy programs for the panel, is a doctoral candidate in communications at Columbia University. A George Washington University graduate, Brown served as a communications adviser to the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, in 2003-04. She then spent three years as communications manager for The Asia Foundation, an NGO with offices throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

The 7 Stages of Motherhood: Loving Your Life Without Losing Your Mindby Ann Pleshett Murphy
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Motherhood is the ultimate transformation, a powerful and thrilling metamorphosis. Yet the vast majority of parenting books focus on the how-tos of baby and child care, not on the care or development of mothers. Ann Pleshette Murphy--the former editor of Parents magazine, current parenting contributor to Good Morning America, and herself the mother of two--looks at the emotional lives of mothers, at how we change and grow from the moment we get pregnant to the day we watch our kids graduate from high school.
"
The 7 Stages of Motherhood urges women to reflect on the seismic shifts they undergo at each stage of their children's lives and to focus on their own evolution. Only by doing so, says Murphy, can we give children the best of ourselves. Many new moms assume that once things "get back to normal," they'll jump right back on their pre-baby path. But there's no going back, according to Murphy, and that's actually good news. Each stage of motherhood has its own challenges and opportunities. Motherhood forces us to hone muscles we never knew we had; to question our choices and goals; to reshape our relationships with family, friends, our spouses; and, most important, to rethink who we are and where we're going. There's as much circling, sliding, falling back as there is surg-ing ahead--and Murphy provides exactly the encouragement women need to overcome obstacles and celebrate their strengths. Writing with wit, warmth, and unfailing empathy about the challenges mothers face at each stage, Murphy offers insightful advice and gentle reassurance, showing moms how to make the most of their lives as they raise their children.
Drawing on hundreds of interviews with leaders in thefield, a wealth of personal experience, a decade at the helm of Parents magazine, and, of course, countless conversations with other mothers, Murphy offers women invaluable advice about how to cope and how to thrive along with their children. She identifies periods of particu
This refreshingly candid parenting book puts mothers—not children—center stage. Ann Pleshette Murphy provides a reassuring, wise, and often wildly funny mix of anecdotes and advice as she describes the seismic shifts in womens lives and identities from pregnancy through a childs graduation. She draws on countless conversations with mothers and with child development experts she has met as the parenting contributor to Good Morning America and as the former editor-in-chief of Parents magazine. The mother of two, Murphy freely shares her own trials and errors in stories that will have readers laughing in relief and recognition. Written with wit, warmth, and unfailing empathy, The 7 Stages of Motherhood is an exuberant and indispensable guide to making the most of motherhood.
Words of Wisdom for Every Stage of Motherhood
_ Forget the "mothering comes naturally" myth:
And dont be afraid to ask for help
_ Avoid keeping up with the Joneses:
Give your kids what they need, not everything they want.
_ Know when youre in the wrong movie:
Dont try to cast your kids in a remake of your childhood.
_ Give yourself credit for finding Lego Mans hair:
Little acts of caring matter more to your kids than getting through your to-do list
_ Be a mother, not Mother Teresa:
When you neglect your own needs, you shortchange your kids

President Obama doesn't seem to shy away from the divisive social and cultural topics that Americans are debating in their living rooms, gyms and workplaces.
On Monday, the buzz was about how the president had weighed in on the redemption of Michael Vick. Obama phoned the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, an American football team, to praise the team for giving a second chance to the quarterback, who is again a National Football League star 19 months after leaving prison for his role in a horrific dog fighting ring that killed pit bulls by electrocution, hanging and drowning.
Vick, whom endorsers shunned after the dog fighting controversy, is now the pitchman for a Nissan dealer near outside Philadelphia.
Fans in Philadelphia and elsewhere have generally stopped bringing anti-Vick signs to games as they did last year, but Vick's emergence as one of the league's top players has revived debate about whether he should be so enthusiastically embraced less than two years after he left prison.

Made this more balanced, usually my back attack is pretty lat focused, I added in a bunch of cleans and more rows toward the chest to hit upper back more
Also took out the tricep work today in favor of more upperback work
Friday - Balanced Back, Delts, Biceps, Abs
Ring Row, BWx9, 9, 8 w/ Upright cable rows 42.5x10, 2 sets
One Arm Barbell Row, 95x8, 8, 8, 10 w/ Power Clean 155x4 and Upright cable rows 42.5x10, 2 sets
Hammer High Row Pulldown plate loaded - overhand grip
70 each side x 2 sets - I think I like the MTS Hammer cable machine better, feels heavier in the stretch position which is what I was going for
Hammer High Row Pulldown plate loaded - neutral grip
70 each side x 8, 3 sets - same machine, but not focusing on stretch, I enjoyed this much better, neutral grip really hammer my lats near the arm pit, I'd love to get some more mass there.
Both Hammer High Row exercises supersetted with:
Power Clean 155x4 and band pullaparts
Parallel Grip Low Row - I use momentum on this one and really arch the back and pull low to light up the lower lats
60x12, 4 set - really focusing on a hard contraction
w/ band pullaparts
Free Motion Bicep Curl
40x12, 35x12, 30x12
Bike Sprints
2x13 at level 18 (seat 8)
Parallel Grip Low Row/High Row 45x10 pulling low, then 10 reps pulling to chest
w/ Preacher Curls 40x12, 10, 8
* Great workout, a few assisted pullups would have been great. I like the machine but didn't have time to work it in.
* In the future, I can save time and not get the TRX straps out for the ring rows. It makes sense to get the on the lat focused days since I use them for 6 total sets (3 lever and 3 row), but to get them out and set them up today for 3 sets just wasted my time. Since my goal is to make this particular workout more balanced, I think a different exercise is in order.

Emergency operations are underway in Zimbabwe to save the wall of a major dam.
HARARE – Emergency operations are underway in Zimbabwe to save the wall of a major dam in the south of the country which is leaking and threatening to burst.
The authorities have been warning thousands of people living downstream to evacuate immediately but rising floodwaters are hampering operations.
Pictures tweeted by former education minister David Coltar reveal the scale of the problem.
The wall of the Tokwe Mukorsi Dam near Mashingo looks to be leaking water near the base and there are fears the dam will burst.
Coltar says this is a serious situation and the public deserves to know what's happening.
About 4,000 families have been told to evacuate the areas downstream of the dam but three bridges have been swept away and crocodiles are now a major threat.
The Provincial Minister Kudakwashe Bhasikiti has requested that the situation be declared a national emergency.

Diarra commits to UConn
UConn secured a verbal commitment from Mamadou Diarra, a 6-foot-8 forward, on Friday morning.
UConn may be without starting guard Ryan Boatright for Tuesday's game against Temple.
Boatright has been home in Aurora,Ill., since Sunday. His family is mourning the death of Boatright's cousin, Arin Williams, who was shot last week in Boatright's hometown.
Coach Kevin Ollie said Monday there's a 50-50 chance that Boatright, the team's third leading scorer at 12.3 points per game, will return in time for the American Athletic Conference game at the XL Center.
"When he left, he said he wasn't going to be back," Ollie said. "But then we talked and he might be back, so it's a 50-50 decision. I'm planning on him not being back."
Boatright has appeared in more consecutive games (63) than any UConn player on the roster. He's tied with junior DeAndre Daniels with 48 straight starts.
The absence of Boatright could mean increased playing time for freshman Terrence Samuel, who's seen limited action in 10 games. Graduate student Lasan Kromah, a 6-foot-6 swingman, also may spend more time in the backcourt. Sophomore Omar Calhoun is another option.
And, of course, senior Shabazz Napier will log his usual marathon minutes. Napier was named to the AAC weekly honor roll.
-- Ollie also had a few interesting things to say about his ejection in the second half of Saturday's loss to No. 18 Louisville at Gampel Pavilion.
He said that he hasn't heard from any of his mentors. Former coach Jim Calhoun attended the game but left at halftime to prepare for a family vacation.
"Jim's in Cabo," Ollie said. "He's on the golf course, hitting golf balls. I will hear from him. I know he's seen the incident. But let him be on vacation and when he gets back we'll have our usual talk."
But someone important did call Ollie about his sideline behavior. Ollie got upset when senior Niels Giffey drew contact while firing up a 3-pointer but didn't get a call.
"I heard from my mother," Ollie said. "She said calm down a little bit. That's the best mentor of all."
Ollie appreciated director of basketball operations Kevin Freeman playing the role of peacemaker. Freeman escorted Ollie to the locker room.
"He just stopped me," Ollie said. "And he did his job. I wasn't going to punch anybody. I just wanted to get my money's worth. Kevin did a good job restraining me so I didn't overreact, which I did a little bit when I ran down the baseline.
"Hopefully we can move on and (referee Michael) Stuart can move on from the decision from the game and we can all be better for it."
Ollie added: "That's still a foul."

Huntsville Gets First Brew Pub Under New Law
The city of Huntsville is getting a taste of a new kind of beer, courtesy of a change in state law.
A new brewhouse called "Below the Radar" is now open in downtown Huntsville. It's the city's first such operation since legislators changed a state law that prohibited selling alcohol at the same location where it was made.
A group called "Free the Hops" lobbied lawmakers to amend the state law. Member Rich Vartain tells WAAY-TV (http://bit.ly/RAPs2J ) about a dozen breweries are now open statewide because of the change.
Charles Winters visited "Below the Radar" after it opened last week in Huntsville. He says he's an amateur home brewer and is inspired by the new brewhouse.

Shortly after 4 p.m. today, the Vermont Principals' Association announced its ruling on Mill River's appeal of the outcome of the Division III high school football championship game.
In a unanimous decision, a five-person committee denied the appeal, which stemmed from the VPA's original decision on the school's protest of a call in overtime against Woodstock.
The ruling, addressed to Mill River principal Andy Pomeroy, stated:
"The Protest Committee heard the Mill River Appeal and has voted unanimously to deny the appeal. However. we remain open to studying further the issue of whether technology can be used appropriately in some capacity."
The school's protest was to overturn a third-down play on Woodstock's overtime possession that sealed the Wasps' 20-19 victory on Saturday at Rutland High School.
Carrying the ball toward the left sideline, Woodstock running back Tom Baumann was ruled down at the 1-yard line but appeared to fumble the ball toward the end zone pylon. A fumble into the end zone would have resulted in a touchback and the end of the game because Mill River had scored a touchdown to begin the overtime and led 19-13 at the time.
Mill River's appeal hinged on apparent video proof that the call on the field should have been a fumble, that the runner was not down or in possession at the 1-yard line. VPA associate director Bob Johnson said earlier in the week that video evidence or instant replay is not part of VPA or national federation rules.
Woodstock went on to score on the ensuing fourth-down play and sophomore kicker Nikolai Davis connected on the extra point to win the game. The championship was Woodstock's third in a row. Mill River was seeking its first team crown in any sport since 1994.

WASHINGTON — Amid a wave of military sexual-assault cases, including the alleged abuse of 62 Air Force recruits and trainees in San Antonio, senators Wednesday considered legislative changes to the way the military prosecutes sexual crimes.
Several victims testified before the Senate Armed Services subcommittee on personnel that they were raped and suffered traumatic consequences while perpetrators avoided prosecution.
"I am here today because I am not alone," said Brian Lewis, a former Navy petty officer who was raped in 2000 by a noncommissioned officer, ordered not to report it, and then was misdiagnosed as having a personality disorder and discharged.
"I still cannot grasp what happened to me," he said.
Lewis, now with the victim advocacy group Protect Our Defenders, told the Senate panel that 56 percent of the sexual-assault victims in the military each year are men.
The Senate hearing is the first in nearly a decade to address sexual assault in the military. The committee last reviewed sexual-assault allegations involving the Air Force Academy in 2003.
Four victims who testified Wednesday reported a culture within the military that allowed assaults to go unpunished.
Rebekah Havrilla said she was serving in a frontline Army post in Afghanistan in 2007 when she was raped by a fellow explosive ordnance disposal team member.
She didn't report the rape, but said she was traumatized again six months later when pictures of the violent assault appeared online.
"At that point, I felt my rape was always going to haunt me unless I did something about it," Havrilla said.
Her case was closed when the attacker claimed the sex was consensual.
Lawmakers also are grappling with the still-unfolding sexual-assault scandal at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, the Air Force installation for basic training.
Some 62 recruits and trainees have reported being raped, assaulted or inappropriately touched by instructors, and 32 instructors have been charged with illicit sexual contact or crimes since 2009.
Prosecutions have moved slowly. A 10th Air Force instructor goes to trial this week over sexual assaults at Lackland.
A House hearing in January on the Lackland sex scandal saw both Republican and Democratic lawmakers sharply criticize two Air Force generals for delays in reporting the crimes and allowing a culture that fostered misconduct.
Lt. Gen. Richard Harding, judge advocate general for the Air Force, said there is "zero tolerance" for sexual assault. He said efforts were under way to change the climate and environment, improve leadership and hold offenders accountable.
Robert Taylor, the Defense Department acting general counsel, said the Pentagon is undertaking measures to make judicial, investigative and support programs more efficient.
The Senate panel's chairwoman said there are an estimated 19,000 sexual assaults in the military each year, though only a third of those attacks are ever reported. "It has been allowed to go on in the shadows for far too long," said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.
Gillibrand said legislative changes are needed to curb the number of assaults, encourage victims to come forward and prevent higher-ups from meddling in prosecutions to protect their own careers.
Lawmakers said they are looking at several legislative measures, including one which would remove investigations of sexual assault and prosecutions from the chain of military command and assign them to an independent counsel.
They cited the recent case of Lt. Col. James Wilkerson, an Air Force pilot and inspector general of the 31st Fighter Wing at Aviano Air Base in Italy who was found guilty last year of sexual assault and sentenced to one year in a military prison.
Last month, the jury conviction was overturned by Lt. Gen. Craig Franklin, commander of the 3rd Air Force at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, who also ordered Wilkerson reinstated.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said the Wilkerson case was not only troubling because of the reversal of a jury verdict, but also because Wilkerson initially received a one-year prison term.
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., urged her colleagues to enact legislative changes to "end this terrible legacy of sexual assault in the military."
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, in a letter to Boxer, said he would review the commander's reversal, which can't be overturned, and military procedures that allowed the decision to be made.
The case has created uproar in Congress, in both the Senate and House, where lawmakers are questioning military statutory authority and considering changes to the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
In a letter to Hagel on Wednesday, members of the House Armed Services Committee, including Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio, said the issue could be addressed in the defense authorization bill for fiscal 2014, which begins Oct. 1.
Gen. Edward Rice Jr., the head of the Air Force training command at Lackland, cited a report that there were insufficient safeguards and leadership oversight to stop the crimes from occurring.
Gen. Mark Welsh III, Air Force chief of staff, told the House hearing that sexual assault is not confined to Lackland, and that the problem was being addressed throughout the service branch.
"It's unacceptable," Welsh said. "We are giving it our full attention."

Shaanxi, China -- Famen Temple in Shaanxi Province, is not only known for housing what's believed to be a fingerbone of Sakyamuni, but also for its Buddhist Institute. The institute is one of China's most influential in the sector. In the past decade, it has educated over 200 students.
Hainan, China -- More and more businesses offering services to people who want to perform the Buddhist practice of "release life" are appearing in Hainan, where illegal animal breeding is rampant, China News Radio reports.

The pastor will welcome any questions and suggestions that you may have about your service and will help you with your service plans. We seek to make every service personal and special.
Can we have the blessing ceremony in another language than English?
Our services are normally in English. However, we can arrange a bilingual ceremony in English and French. We can also discuss a bilingual service with English plus another language.

No. An ACP pastor will be in charge of all weddings held at the church. A wedding is not only held in our church; it is a service of the American Church. At your request we can invite your pastor to co-officiate.
Why do we have to have a civil ceremony before our religious blessing in France?
In France, only weddings solemnized by the civil authorities have legal standing; thus, a church wedding has spiritual significance, but not legal status. Before the religious wedding ceremony can take place, you must show proof of civil marriage. The easiest way to do this is to be married in a legal ceremony in your home country. In the U.S., your pastor can perform your service or you can go to a justice of peace. If the service is legal in your country, it is considered legal in France. To be married by the civil authorities in France requires a 40 day residency and a great deal of bureaucratic paperwork. Please send a copy of your legal certificate by fax or by email ahead of time unless your legal ceremony is right before your service at ACP. If that is the case bring a photo copy to us when you come.
Can we throw rice or rose petals after the ceremony?
Only rose petals are permitted, and the couple is responsible to have persons available to sweep them up. Bubbles blown by wedding guests are popular and require no cleanup.
Can we get dressed and prepare at the church?
Unfortunately, we do not have dressing room facilities available at the present time.

Top three tips to harness the positive
The world is full of endless solutions; it is simply your perceptions that limit your ability to tune into available options. You might be missing vital pieces of information that you delete or distort because they do not fit with the structure of reality you have created for yourself throughout your lifetime. The problem comes when you think these impoverished views of reality are real representations of life.

Best of CoBiz: Is your elevator speech stuck between floors?
Much of the advice on how to introduce one's self, commonly referred to as the elevator speech, is seriously outdated. Experts used to think you had the length of an elevator ride, say 30-60 seconds to make an impression, now they think its closer to 7-10. And though its name would suggest otherwise, don't be deceived: an elevator speech is not a speech. It is a conversation starter.

We all remember our first crush, but do you remember your first (slightly threatening) love letter? On tonight's T.I. And Tiny: The Family Hustle,King becomes the objection of a female classmate's affection–or someone he refers to as, "a a beautiful woman"–and his branching out into the world of romance leaves T.I. and Tiny conflicted in how to respond.
You can't keep your little ones little forever, but we didn't expect eight-year-old King to grow up this fast. I guess being ridiculously irresistible to the opposite sex is just another burden these Harris men have to bear. When it comes to the ladies, no one knows how to better quell the concern of Tiny Major Mama while living up to lothario standards than Tip. Behold, his wise words for Young King.
In fact, Tip's advice is appropriate for anyone looking for love: focus on school, family, and hustling, and the romance will fall into place. (How's that for dating advice, Patti Stanger?) In the end, though, his "man talk" also served to maintain family appearances: "It would be a damn shame to have a Harris man walking around with no balls." Amen.
Did Tip say the right thing to his Little Man, or should he let him act on his feelings? Should Tiny be afraid her little boy is growing up too fast? Did you write love letters as a kid? Let us know.

Gear Question
I'm new at overnight hiking and I just...
I'm new at overnight hiking and I just bought this pack. It says that it is hydration compatible but I'm not really seeing how. Am I missing something?
Eli Hauschild
There should be a compartment inside the pack, made specifically for putting a hydration bladder (sold separately). It would be up against the frame, or closest to your back when wearing the pack. The hydration bladders come with a hose that runs through a small hole out the top of the pack, and then usually clips to a shoulder strap.
Lexi Dowdall
Hey Kalie.
I have this pack. There is a small sleeve located in the main chamber of the pack right where the pack lies against your back. You slip your bladder in this sleeve, and you can weave the house through a small opening near the top of the shoulder strap.

If you're in the market for a good harmonica microphone--and who isn't?--you might want to check out one or more of the following harp mic suppliers. Before you do, though, you'll want to download the FREE comprehensive introduction to the subject written by Greg Heumann of BlowsMeAway Productions. Here's the link: www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/101745351-all-about-harmonica-microphones-pdf
DELUXE VINTAGE HARP MICS is the brainchild of my good friend Ron Sunshine. Ron and I were both street musicians in Paris and NYC during the 1980s and early 1990s; by the mid-1990s, Ron was fronting two groups, Full Swing and The Smoking Section. These days he's the king of the hill in New York's swing dance scene: a bandleader who blows harp and can really carry a tune. His sideline is vintage harmonica mics, and he's just about cornered the market there. Start with him:
You might also want to take a look at Fat Bottom Harp Mics, operated by master customizer/repairer Chuck Gurney. Lots of major league harp guys--including Kim Wilson, Curtis Salgado, Rod Piazza, Rick Estrin, and Sugar Ray Norcia--endorse Fat Bottom.
BlowsMeAway Productions, hosted by Greg Heumann, offers some pretty nifty hand-crafted harp mics, too, along with wireless systems, cables, repairs and an innovative in-line volume control an innovative in-line volume control used by a long list of pros.
Dennis Gruenling, one of the greatest living blues harp players, also happens to have a remarkable collection of harp mics from the classic era; he restores and sells them, and you really need to check out his stuff.

'3 Strikes': Proposed Law Tries To Restore Intent
The Three Strikes Project was featured in this San Francisco Chronicle story for its role representing the NAACP, which is sponsoring a ballot measure to reform California's Three Strikes law.
As California braces for more budget cuts and moves forward with a plan to reduce its prison population by 33,000 inmates, opponents of the state's "three strikes and you're out" law are preparing to ask voters to make major changes to the harsh sentencing mandate.
Supporters of a proposed ballot measure say it would narrow the three-strikes mandate to what voters wanted all along: a law that keeps murderers, rapists and child molesters in prison for life and doesn't leave low-level, nonviolent offenders languishing behind bars for decades.
Mike Romano, a Stanford University law professor, said statistics show that people serving life sentences for a nonviolent, third strike offense are much less likely to commit another violent crime than other felons. Four percent qualify as high risk of committing a violent crime if released, compared with 20 percent of the total prison population, according to state assessments.
Five years ago, Romano founded the Three Strikes Project, in which law students help to appeal cases of nonviolent offenders who have received a third strike conviction. They have succeeded in reducing sentences for about 25 inmates, he said, and are representing the ballot measure's official sponsor, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund.
The state assessments show that "nonviolent third-strikers are the least likely to re-offend of any group in prison," Romano said, in part because older people are less likely to commit crimes. At the same time, he said, they tend to be the most expensive to keep imprisoned because they are getting older and their medical costs are skyrocketing.
Romano stressed that the normal checks and balances of the criminal justice system will remain in place if the law is passed.
Offenders "will have to go before a judge and show they are not a danger to the community before their sentence can be reduced by one day," he said. "And if you do eliminate a life sentence, (taxpayers) get 30 years of cost savings."

Wind: 0 mph
To The Editor:
I would like to tell you about our experience in traveling on Route 17 in the pass near Mad River Glen ski resort on Monday, December 26. We had just left Bristol and were going through the pass on Route 17 at about 7:30 p.m. when we skidded on the road and ended up in the ditch on the left side of the road. No one was hurt and the engine was running with the lights on. We were amazed at the many people who stopped by to help in a very short period of time.
The first man offered to ride up to the top of the pass and call the police and a tow truck on his cell phone. He did this and came back to tell us. He also offered to take us to our home in Fayston Farms if we wished.
The second car contained a woman with children, and she took me to a farmhouse nearby, and, while I made a few calls, she waited and then drove me back to the car. The owner of the house was very kind and helpful.
In short order, the police arrived, put out some flares, informed us that a tow truck was on its way and waited until the truck arrived.
The tow truck from Hap's was there in about one-half hour, and he quickly pulled us out and we were home in about 20 minutes. All this took place in about one hour.
We wish to thank all the people who stopped by to help and Hap and the police for their quick response.
Dan Hartley and family
from New Jersey and Fayston Farms

If this store were a stock then I'd sell it now. But, for some reason we go back just about every day (for groceries, not for the hot lunch). I ordered a chicken parm hero, and the deli counter guy actually asked me if I wanted sauce at which point he gave me cold sauce. I asked him to heat it up and he made a big deal about having to do that.

Posted by Anonymous on 02/17/2004
The food looks better than it tastes. Soups are good, depending on which one you select. Fresh fruits, vegetables, meats and fish are outstanding to buy. If your a cheese lover, this is the place. Prepared meat and vegetable dishes leave little to be desired. I find them not to be so great, not of great quality. If you are into French dessert you will enjoy ! The atmosphere is pleasant and colorfully decorative with a french flair and there are TV's around to pass the lunch hour by.

These guys were supposed to be pumpkins but they ended up looking like the retro version of Officer Big Mac or Mayor McCheese. Paige didn't know who I was talking about which made me feel old, LOL! Anyway her lunch consists of two small Dutch rolls filled with turkey, lettuce, and American cheese. I also gave her a side of celery sticks with apple shaped carrots and poppyseed dressing. This bento was super fast and easy as you can tell. It took me less than 10 minutes to put together! :)

Wednesday August 22, 2007
PETALING JAYA: The Chief Justice has questioned the need to use English common law after 50 years of independence.
Tun Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim said that since the country's independence in 1957, Parliament, which was a branch of the Government, enacted laws while the judiciary interpreted them.
My own opinion is that there is no need for us to go to the common law of England now as we have many legal experts who can provide their views on solving legal matters, he said, speaking to reporters after officially opening the Ahmad Ibrahim: Thoughts and Knowledge Contribution seminar here yesterday.
He said he was merely suggesting at the seminar that delegates discuss the common law issue, whether to maintain the current position or substitute it with another procedure.
Sections 3 and 5 of the Civil Law Act permits judges wide discretion to import English common law, equity and statutes into the legal system to fill lacunas in Malaysian laws, but this power was subjected to such qualifications as local circumstances rendered necessary.
In his speech earlier, Ahmad Fairuz said Malaysia had yet to escape the clutches of the colonialism, as Sections 3 and 5 of the Civil Law Act were enforced despite the country being independent for 50 years.
He said he strongly supported the late Prof Ahmad Mohamad Ibrahims views to abolish the use of English common law and instead refer to the decisions of Malaysian courts, giving priority to local circumstances.
In my opinion, his direction should be persevered, regardless of how it is modified. What is certain is that Professor Ahmads efforts were a clear objective that has placed Islamic law at its most qualified position, he said.
