The idea that a comet or asteroid impact led to the downfall of the dinosaurs has been around for years. Now, Paul Renne and colleagues report in Science that they've narrowed down the timing of that collision. It's practically simultaneous with dinosaur extinction.

Work in low-wage jobs and longer than usual life spans have caused many older Asian Americans, particularly Southeast Asian refugees, to rely heavily on Social Security income to meet their needs in retirement, according to a new report.
About one in seven older Asian Americans lives in poverty, and if not for Social Security, that number would climb to one in three, the report by the Insight Center for Community Economic Development, concluded.
Among Asian Americans receiving Social Security, more than one in four married couples (29 percent) and more than one in two single people (60 percent) depend on it for virtually all their income, the report found. The annual median income for older Asian American households was $16,757, less than the median $26,177 for older white households.
Titled "Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders and Social Security: A Primer," the report is also available in Korean, Chinese and Vietnamese.
The report is the second of three commissioned by AARP to study Social Security's impact on minority groups. The first focuses on African Americans, and the third, still pending, will examine Hispanics.
This latest study offers a snapshot of how critical a role Social Security has taken on for elderly Asian Americans as well as Pacific Islanders, many of whom are from Hawaii.
Social Security and its annual cost-of-living adjustments are particularly important to Asian American beneficiaries, the study said, because their life expectancies are generally longer than those of Americans as a whole.
According to the Social Security Administration, Asian American and Pacific Islander men who were age 65 in 2010 were expected to live on average to age 85; women's life expectancy is 88. That's three years longer than predicted for all men and women in the United States.
For older Asian American women, Social Security income kept 17 percent out of poverty. Still, their poverty rate of 13 percent exceeded the 10 percent rate for older white women, the report found.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Bill Gross predicting a "Credit Supernova." Yes, that's what the "Bond King" sees dead ahead. He knows, his firm has $2 trillion at risk of collapsing into the "Black Hole" coming after the Credit Supernova, when the Federal Reserve cheap money finally explodes in America's face, brings down the economy, again.
Here's the one other story that you can't afford to miss today
Gross's Credit Supernova metaphor is the explosive headline on his latest Pimco newsletter. So what's a supernova? Jump over to the Space.com's parallel universe where you'll discover a supernova happens when a "blindingly bright star bursts into view in a corner of the night sky ... burns like a ... brilliant point of light."
A supernova is "the explosion of a star that has reached the end of its life ... Supernovas can briefly outshine entire galaxies and radiate more energy than our sun will in its entire lifetime."
Yes, a supernova is the "explosion of a star that has reached the end of its life."
"End of its life?" Is America's star economy burning out? Sure sounds like it: Gross is doing more than just hinting with his Credit Supernova metaphor. He's predicting the collapse of the American economy and global financial markets, far worse than the 2008 Wall Street bank credit collapse, worse than the 2000 dot-com crash.
As the folks over at Business Insider put it: "Investment banks have morphed markets with 'Ponzi Finance.' And time is almost up."
Fed's Ponzi scheme: Credit expansion killing economic growth
Business Insider's Matthew Boesler summarized Gross's rather cryptic metaphor this way: Gross's newsletter "tackles the relationship between credit expansion and real growth" where under Bernanke the Fed's cheap-money bubble makes our monetary problems get bigger as the Fed keeps kicking them down the road.
So the Fed's "Ponzi Finance" must run its printing presses full blast to pump more and more credit into the economy "just to cover increasingly burdensome interest payments, with accelerating inflation the end result."
The problem is huge: Bernanke's Ponzi Finance is self-sabotaging. Endless cheap money upsets the balance between credit expansion and real economic growth, resulting in diminishing returns: "Each additional dollar of credit seems to create less and less heat. In the 1980s, it took four dollars of new credit to generate $1 of real GDP. Over the last decade, it has taken $10, and since 2006, $20 to produce the same result." Bad news.
Yes, Wall Street and central banks worldwide are the engine driving Bernanke's Ponzi scheme straight into a Credit Supernova bubble. Why? Because in the past generation more and more of the Fed's new credit was channeled into market speculation, distorting the balance between markets and the real economy.
"Investment banking, which only a decade ago promoted small-business development and transition to public markets, now is dominated by leveraged speculation and the Ponzi Finance."
Gross warns: As a result, "our credit-based financial markets and the economy it supports are levered, fragile and increasingly entropic — it is running out of energy and time. When does money run out of time? The countdown begins when investable assets pose too much risk for too little return; when lenders desert credit markets for other alternatives such as cash or real assets," a trend that's already accelerating as more and more investors wise up to Wall Street's dangerous Ponzi Finance, anticipating that a Credit Supernova will soon bring down Bernanke's totally mismanaged monetary system, probably in 2013, months before his scheduled retirement.
After Credit Supernova will banks see the light ... or stay blinded?
Alan Blinder is familiar to Wall Street Journal readers and investors. The former vice chair of the Federal Reserve just published "After the Music Stopped: The Financial Crisis, the Response, and the Work Ahead." His recent New York Times op-ed piece is a perfect playbook of what's coming after Wall Street's Credit Supernova explodes.
Blinder opens by quoting Hegel: "What experience and history teaches us is that people and governments have never learned anything from history." But then Blinder adds, "actually, I think people do learn. The problem is that they forget, sometimes amazingly quickly. That seems to be happening today, even though recovery from the economic debacle of 2008-9 is far from complete. Evidence of this forgetting is everywhere."
His list of Wall Street's mental blocks is all too familiar. They are blind, in denial. So Blinder "encapsulates what we must remember about the financial crisis into 10 financial commandments, all of which were brazenly violated in the years leading up to the crisis."
Imagine his frustration, like Moses coming down from the mountain, seeing the people partying, honoring false idols, the golden calf of profits. Wall Street did the same, forgot in 2000, forgot again in 2008, went back to the same old tricks.

MECOSTA TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WZZM) -- A woman is dead and three others were sexually assaulted during an overnight standoff in Mecosta County.
The incident began at about 8:30 p.m. Thursday when police were called to a home on Cramer Drive on reports of a shot fired. Upon arrival, deputies were told that a gunman was inside with hostages.
Kathleen Hawley, 58, of Morley was shot and died at the scene. Three women, ages 20-30, were inside, along with two 7-year-old boys, and a 10-month-old girl. The gunman held the hostages overnight, but released two of the women and the children before sunrise.
Duncan Eric Willis II came out of the home peacefully at about 7 a.m. and surrendered to police. The hostages reported that they were sexually assaulted during the standoff. The children were not harmed.
Willis was charged Friday afternoon with one charge of homicide, six counts of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree, kidnapping, weapons charges, and being a habitual offender.
The Mecosta County Sheriff says Willis is a neighbor from across the street and had walked into the home. He also appeared to be intoxicated.

D-Backs to send Justin Upton to the Braves
The Braves have acquired D-Backs OF Justin Upton, according to the following reports.
The deal would team up Upton with his brother, B.J. Upton, as well as Jason Heyward, in Atlanta's outfield.
10:10 am: Braves will get Upton and 3B Chris Johnson, the D-Backs get infielder Martin Prado, pitchers Randall Delgado, Nick Ahmed and Zeke Spruill (Bowman, MLB.com).
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
9:53 am: Damn! That hurts. The Braves outfield is as good as the Mets outfield is bad, at this point. Yikes << click to tweet this.
The Mets had interest in Upton, but would not part with Zack Wheeler, Travis d'Arnaud or Matt Harvey to get a deal done. The two sides talked before the Winter Meetings, and a few times in the last week or so. But, the Mets never budged from their position. Last year, there was talk that Arizona would take Jon Niese in a deal for Upton, but I don't think the two sides discussed him this time around.
6:45 am: Arizona is close to a deal that will send Upton to the Braves (Rosenthal, FoxSports).
Jan. 22: The Braves and Diamondbacks are still working on a deal for Upton – it is now less likely Arizona will deal Kubel to the Orioles (Heyman, CBS Sports).
Jan. 22: The Braves are waiting to hear back from Arizona about a deal for Upton (Rosenthal, FoxSports).
To see previous updates and information about this story, click here...
Jan. 22: The Rangers have not talked to the Arizona about Upton in weeks (Heyman, CBS Sports).
Jan. 22: The D-Backs want to make a decision on trading Upton or Kubel by Friday (Olney, ESPN).
Jan. 22: The Orioles are pursuing a trade for Kubel (Rosenthal, FOX Sports).
Jan 22: The D-Backs are weighing offers for Upton and Kubel (Olney, ESPN).
Jan. 12: The Mets and D-Backs have resumed trade talks, though there is still no indication Sandy Alderson will include Wheeler or Harvey (Carig, Newsday).
Jan. 12: The Mets are not interested in offering a similar package to what Seattle offered Arizona for Upton (Martin, NY Post).
Jan. 11: Arizona initially wanted the Mets to give up a combination of top prospects (Wheeler, Travis d'Arnaud, Wilmer Flores, etc.) and big-league talent (Harvey, Daniel Murphy, Bobby Parnell, etc.) in a deal for Upton; while Kubel will likely cost just two upper-level pitching prospects (Cerrone, MetsBlog.com).
Jan. 11: The D-Backs are shopping Upton and Kubel at the same time, to the same teams, and whichever player nets the better value, Arizona will likely make a deal (Cerrone, MetsBlog.com).
Jan. 11: Upton used his no-trade clause to block a deal that would have sent him to Seattle for four of the team's top 10 prospects (MLBTR). The Mariners were 'clearly overparing,' and they're fortunate the trade fell through, said a team executive (Crasnick, ESPN).
Jan. 7: The Mets talked to the D-Backs about Upton and Kubel, but found the price to be too high (Heyman, CBS Sports).
Contract: Upton will earn $9.75 million next season, during which Niese will earn $3 million. Upton's salary bumps up to $14.25 million in 2014 and $14.5 million in 2015, after which he is eligible to be a free agent.
Stats: Upton hit .280 with a .355 OBP and .430 SLG with 17 home runs and 67 RBI and 121 strikeouts in 554 at-bats in 2012. In his career, Upton has hit .307 with a .937 OPS, 67 home runs and 219 RBI in 1297 at-bats at Chase Field, while hitting just .250 with a .731 OPS, 41 home runs and 144 RBI in 1366 at-bats on the road.

The toddler months continue to bring the medical challenges of colds, cuts, bruises, and other minor emergencies.
But you'll also find yourself dealing with an emerging personality and increasing conflicts. The new ability to walk means your child can now become more independent — and might like to flaunt it!
Some doctors have their own schedule for well-child visits, but most see kids four times, at 12, 15, 18, and 24 months. If your toddler has missed any immunizations, or if a problem has been detected that needs special attention, additional visits may be scheduled.
The well-child visits during your child's second year are similar to those before, although discussions with your doctor about behavior and habits may become more detailed as your toddler grows.
Expect these common procedures and questions:
If they haven't already, kids this age might undergo a tuberculin skin test, especially those at risk for tuberculosis. You'll be given instructions on how to monitor the test and report results to the doctor's office. Your child may also have a hemoglobin screen to check for anemia, and if you are in a high-risk area, a screen to check for lead poisoning.
Address any questions or concerns you have, and write down any specific instructions the doctor gives you regarding special care. Keep updating your child's permanent medical record, listing information on growth and any problems or illnesses.
Kids who have missed immunizations at previous visits because of illness or scheduling problems will be brought up to date by 18 months of age.
Because your child is coming in contact with other kids more often, you'll want to make sure all immunizations are given close to the recommended times. This is especially true if your child attends childcare.
Because more immunizations than ever are being given to children before the age of 2 years, doctors are spacing immunizations so kids won't need more than 3-4 shots per well-child visit.
From the Recommended Immunization Schedule of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP):
A child who did not have them at the 12-month visit will receive these vaccines at 15 months:
At the 18-month visit, if not already been given, children should receive:
Your child may also receive a flu shot, which is recommended every year before flu season for children older than 6 months, and a first and/or second dose of the hepatitis A (Hep A) vaccine (the first and second doses must be at least 6 months apart). If your child is at high risk for developing meningococcal disease, a serious bacterial infection, your doctor may offer that vaccine as well.
Discuss possible vaccine reactions with your doctor and get advice on when to call with unusual problems.
By now you have probably called your doctor's office many times with questions and concerns about your child's health. Don't hesitate to notify the doctor if you suspect something is wrong — you know your child best.
Be sure to call if your child is especially sluggish or irritable, has serious problems sleeping, is refusing all food or drink, is suffering from vomiting or diarrhea, or has a temperature over 102.2º F (39º C).
Some developmental delays should be reported to your doctor, although these may or may not signal a problem. By 18 months your child will probably be able to:
By age 2 your toddler should be able to:
Again, signs of developmental delay should be brought to the doctor's attention, but they do not necessarily mean there is something wrong.

I Can Prove a Negative Easily. But Who Has the Burden of Proof About God?
Of course, I cannot prove anything with certainty, but that's not what I was ever called upon to do anyway. All I need is counter-evidence. And therein lies the rub. There are some negative claims I cannot produce counter-evidence. I cannot prove I was never in Hawaii, or that I was never a Buddhist, or that I was never a pimp, even though I've never been in Hawaii, or a Buddhist or a pimp. So unless I can document my whole life with receipts of all my bills, 24 hour video surveillance, or a continual stream of witnesses of my life then there's always a chance that I was in Hawaii, or a Buddhist, or a pimp.
Nor can I prove that Sasquatch or a unicorn or a Hobbit do not exist. The reason why is because there is no counter-evidence I can produce to show they don't exist. What would that kind of evidence look like, since if these things don't exist I must examine and document every inch of the earth to prove they don't? To ask someone to offer counter-evidence to some kinds of claims is simply asking way too much. That's why the person making these kinds of claims must provide evidence on behalf of them. That's why they have the burden of proof.
In a like manner, theists ask me to prove that no supernatural being exists. The problem with such a request is that this is the type of negative that cannot be proven. The reason why I cannot prove this type of negative is the same reason I cannot prove I've never been a Buddhist, or a pimp. I'm being asked to prove more than what can reasonably be expected of me, or anyone. For I cannot search the whole universe nor am I omniscient to know there isn't such a being. Here then the burden of proof must rest on the theist who claims that a supernatural being exists in the same way the burden of proof is on someone who claims I was once in Hawaii. This is the case even if I completely disregard the principle that "extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence when we have reason to expect the evidence to be there." The theist has the burden of proof to produce evidence that their God exists, period. So without sufficient evidence reasonable people can be non-believers even if they cannot prove there isn't such a being.
While there is a great amount of debate about the burden of proof let me meet theists on common ground here. Surely we can agree on this point, can't we? Theists have the burden of proof precisely because asking a skeptic to prove such a negative is asking more than can reasonably be expected.
Even though we can meet on common ground I still think I can prove God does not heal amputees, nor answer prayers in any noticeably objectively verifiable way. And I think I can prove there is no God of the Bible, although this is a more complicated case demanding more by way of evidenced based reasoning. This is something I do everyday, even if it doesn't always convince believers.
But my point is that I don't have to do this. Theists must put forward the evidence.
This has been shown even though I did not appeal to the principle that "extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence when we have reason to expect the evidence to be there." But how much more is it the case when I do.

Relocated and renovated, USO Yokosuka opened its doors today to serve the 30,000 active-duty troops and their families based in that region of Japan.
Senior military leaders, USO staff, volunteers, sailors and their families gathered to celebrate the opening of the center, located at Yokosuka Naval Base as the U.S. servicemen and women began to enjoy the top-notch programs and services offered by the USO. The facility is also located within a recently refurbished outdoor recreation center and provides the USO with a better opportunity to accomplish its goal of lifting the spirits of troops and their families.
Colors are presented prior to the grand re-opening of USO Yokosuka as, from left to right, RADM Dan Cloyd, USO Senior Vice President of Operations Alan Reyes, Commanding Officer, Fleet Activities Yokosuka Capt. David Owen and USO Pacific Regional Vice President Carly Harris look on.
The group is joined by USO Japan Country Director Juliet Bucayu-Domingo, far right, for the ceremonial ribbon-cutting.
Senior Vice President of Operations for the USO Alan Reyes, second from right, said: "The opening of the new USO Yokosuka marks our continued commitment to the sailors and families of Yokosuka Naval Base. We are thrilled to operate this new center at the heart of the naval base and adjacent to the piers where we can better provide the traditional USO comforts of home and allow for those separated by deployment to connect with their friends and family back home."
Among the trappings of USO Yokosuka, troops are able to access the Internet through computers located throughout the center or with free WiFi for their personal devices. Other amenities include a living room, family room, movie theatre, massage chairs, gaming center, phones and plenty of space to relax and enjoy snacks and other great USO programs.
Two troops took a load off to test the leather recliners that are always a favorite among the servicemen and women. For even more downtime, a Warrior and Family Care Relaxation Room is adjacent to provide a dose of peace and quiet.
The catered reception provided the perfect warm welcome to the troops and families the USO aims to serve.
Said Capt. Owen: "USO provides an important service and alternative to the Yokosuka community, especially to the single and unaccompanied sailors. Being far away from loved ones is tough and the activities they offer gives these individuals a safe place to go right here on the installation. In particular, their holiday events such as free Thanksgiving lunch and Christmas morning breakfast are very popular and I greatly appreciate all that they do to ensure our sailors are provided with such great options."

Savannah Alberghini-Giroux immediately tied the game on the very next shift, followed by two goals by Jenna Moss to make it 3-1 North Country.
Whitney Bernier upped the lead to 4-1 when her attempt at an empty net goal was blocked by a thrown stick, which automatically gave her the goal.
JAY-Despite being heavily outshot for most of the game the game, the North Country boys hockey team was skating neck and neck with the number two ranked Colchester Lakers before eventually falling by the score of 2-1.
Jared Antoniak had a goal in the first and one in the third to make it 2-0 Colchester before Nate Marsh brought the Falcons to within one at 2-1, and that is how the game ended.
North Country now stands at 4-2-1, and will get back at it on Saturday when they face top ranked CVU at the Cairns Arena. Puck drops at 8:15.
Ross DeLaBruere scored points number 99, 100, 101, 102 and 103 as the Falcon Hockey boys' win over MMU headlined a great Saturday of local high school sports.
Sticking with the NCU boys hockey team, the Falcons defeated Mount Mansfield 7-3, with Ross netting a hat trick and adding two assists.
"It's fantastic, it feels great and all of the credit goes to my teammates," Ross said on the phone while riding home on the NCU bus.
Staying on the ice, despite out-shooting Colchester 20-17, the North Country girls were defeated by the score of 1-0 at home by the Lakers.
ORLEANS-The Lake Region girls made a significant amount of progress in their 68-61 loss to Oxbow on Friday.

The full stories, this Monday in the Newport Daily Express.
ORLEANS–The Lake Region Lady Rangers started their game against the Lamoille Lady Lancers by hanging close to their opposition, but as the game wore on Lamoille was able to gain separation and come away with the 62-49 win.
"We had a couple of nice spots tonight where a player did a good job of boxing a kid out, plus Tyrah really came on late for us, but we are young and we still have some work to do," said LRU coach Joe Houston.
Here are the following cancellations and make up dates for the games scheduled for Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd.

JAY–Wednesday night was a learning experience for the North Country girls hockey team, as they went head-to-head with the defending Division I state champion BFA Comets.
Things did not go particularly well for the Falcons, as they fell 8-2, but they definitely found out what it will take to compete with the best in the state of Vermont.

For the Full story, see the Express on Thursday 12-19-13.

Married to the Mob
Drama, Comedy, Romance
Michelle Pfeiffer is Married to the Mob in this comedy. The wife of Mafia hitman Alec Baldwin, Pfeiffer regularly chastizes her husband for his underhanded line of work. Baldwin refuses to entertain any thoughts of quitting the mob-and besides, he's got a good thing going with Nancy Travis, the promiscuous girl friend of gang boss Dean Stockwell. When Stockwell catches on to Travis' peccadilloes, he murders both his mistress and the unlucky Baldwin. At Baldwin's funeral, Stockwell is overwhelmed by Pfeiffer's beauty, and immediately begins plying her with expensive gifts. But Pfeiffer is through with this sort of thing, and with her young son in tow, she leaves town, hoping to start life anew. Upon making the acquaintance of bumbling, seemingly sincere Matthew Modine, Pfeiffer is convinced that Modine is just another mob flunkey. But it's even worse: Modine is an FBI agent, ordered to get to Stockwell by using Pfeiffer as bait. Reluctantly (he's grown quite fond of her himself), Modine blackmails Pfeiffer into setting up a rendezvous with Stockwell.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Walking to school is not a new concept - up until the 1970s, most schools were located in residential neighborhoods, and communities were built with pedestrian traffic in mind. Unlike many suburban and rural areas, this still holds true in urban communities, where sidewalks are present and homes are clustered around schools.

After a hugely successful season last year the Carbon Raptors again take to the wrestling mat. With five returning state champions, many state placers, and a few new faces, the Raptors set their sights on Provo. Six weeks into the season the young grapplers have only seen the practice mat, so it was yet to be determined what type of outcome would present itself at the Provo Holiday Classic tournament which houses some of the best wrestling clubs in the state.
The Raptors started out strong winning first five matches before losing a close match by pin. From there the Raptors never looked back. They captured five golds, five silvers, and one bronze.
The results were as follows:
Finishing in first place: Tarron Mogenson, Chanse Pendergrass, Nathan Velasquez, Triton Abeyta and Taylon Abeyta.
Finishing in second place: Jordan Davies, Mckaden Whiteleather, Drew Jones (MHJH), Austin Phillips (MHJH), Chandler Boyd.
Finishing in third place: Cole Cripps
Finishing in fourth place: Caleb Sanderson
Those who participated in the event but did not place: Kyelon Boyd, Cayleb Marshall, Bonham Brewer and Ridic Migliori.

12 U.S. Code § 1785 - Requirements governing insured credit unions
(a) Insurance logo
(1) Insured credit unions
(A) In general
Each insured credit union shall display at each place of business maintained by that credit union a sign or signs relating to the insurance of the share accounts of the institution, in accordance with regulations to be prescribed by the Board.
(2) Regulations
The Board shall prescribe regulations to carry out this subsection, including regulations governing the substance of signs required by paragraph (1) and the manner of display or use of such signs.
(b) Restrictions
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), no insured credit union shall, without the prior approval of the Board—
(B) assume liability to pay any member accounts in, or similar liabilities of, any noninsured credit union or institution;
(C) transfer assets to any noninsured credit union or institution in consideration of the assumption of liabilities for any portion of the member accounts in such insured credit union; or
(2) Conversion of insured credit unions to mutual savings banks.—
(A) In general.— Notwithstanding paragraph (1), an insured credit union may convert to a mutual savings bank or savings association (if the savings association is in mutual form), as those terms are defined in section 1813 of this title, without the prior approval of the Board, subject to the requirements and procedures set forth in the laws and regulations governing mutual savings banks and savings associations.
(B) Conversion proposal.— A proposal for a conversion described in subparagraph (A) shall first be approved, and a date set for a vote thereon by the members (either at a meeting to be held on that date or by written ballot to be filed on or before that date), by a majority of the directors of the insured credit union. Approval of the proposal for conversion shall be by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the insured credit union who vote on the proposal.
(C) Notice of proposal to members.— An insured credit union that proposes to convert to a mutual savings bank or savings association under subparagraph (A) shall submit notice to each of its members who is eligible to vote on the matter of its intent to convert—
(D) Notice of proposal to board.— The Board may require an insured credit union that proposes to convert to a mutual savings bank or savings association under subparagraph (A) to submit a notice to the Board of its intent to convert during the 90-day period preceding the date of the completion of the conversion.
(E) Inapplicability of chapter upon conversion.— Upon completion of a conversion described in subparagraph (A), the credit union shall no longer be subject to any of the provisions of this chapter.
(F) Limit on compensation of officials.—

(G) Consistent rules.—
(i) In general.— Not later than 6 months after August 7, 1998, the Administration shall promulgate final rules applicable to charter conversions described in this paragraph that are consistent with rules promulgated by other financial regulators, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The rules required by this clause shall provide that charter conversion by an insured credit union shall be subject to regulation that is no more or less restrictive than that applicable to charter conversions by other financial institutions.
(ii) Oversight of member vote.— The member vote concerning charter conversion under this paragraph shall be administered by the Administration, and shall be verified by the Federal or State regulatory agency that would have jurisdiction over the institution after the conversion. If either the Administration or that regulatory agency disapproves of the methods by which the member vote was taken or procedures applicable to the member vote, the member vote shall be taken again, as directed by the Administration or the agency.
(c) Considerations for waiver or enforcement of restrictions
In granting or withholding approval or consent under subsection (b) of this section, the Board shall consider—
(d) Prohibition
(1) In general
Except with prior written consent of the Board—
(A) any person who has been convicted of any criminal offense involving dishonesty or a breach of trust, or has agreed to enter into a pretrial diversion or similar program in connection with a prosecution for such offense, may not—
(i) become, or continue as, an institution-affiliated party with respect to any insured credit union; or
(2) Minimum 10-year prohibition period for certain offenses
(A) In general
If the offense referred to in paragraph (1)(A) in connection with any person referred to in such paragraph is—
(i) an offense under—
(I) section 215, 656, 657, 1005, 1006, 1007, 1008, [1] 1014, 1032, 1344, 1517, 1956, or 1957 of title 18; or
the Board may not consent to any exception to the application of paragraph (1) to such person during the 10-year period beginning on the date the conviction or the agreement of the person becomes final.
(B) Exception by order of sentencing court
(i) In general On motion of the Board, the court in which the conviction or the agreement of a person referred to in subparagraph (A) has been entered may grant an exception to the application of paragraph (1) to such person if granting the exception is in the interest of justice.
(e) Security standards; reports; penalty
(1) The Board shall promulgate rules establishing minimum standards with which each insured credit union must comply with respect to the installation, maintenance, and operation of security devices and procedures, reasonable in cost, to discourage robberies, burglaries, and larcenies and to assist in the identification and apprehension of persons who commit such acts.
(2) The rules shall establish the time limits within which insured credit unions shall comply with the standards and shall require the submission of periodic reports with respect to the installation, maintenance, and operation of security devices and procedures.
(f) Share draft accounts; maintenance, loans, etc.
(1) Every insured credit union is authorized to maintain, and make loans with respect to, share draft accounts in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the Board. Except as provided in paragraph (2), an insured credit union may pay dividends on share draft accounts and may permit the owners of such share draft accounts to make withdrawals by negotiable or transferable instruments or other orders for the purpose of making transfers to third parties.
(2) Paragraph (1) shall apply only with respect to share draft accounts in which the entire beneficial interest is held by one or more individuals or members or by an organization which is operated primarily for religious, philanthropic, charitable, educational, or other similar purposes and which is not operated for profit, and with respect to deposits of public funds by an officer, employee, or agent of the United States, any State, county, municipality, or political subdivision thereof, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, any territory or possession of the United States, or any political subdivision thereof.
(g) Interest rates
(1) If the applicable rate prescribed in this subsection exceeds the rate an insured credit union would be permitted to charge in the absence of this subsection, such credit union may, notwithstanding any State constitution or statute which is hereby preempted for the purposes of this subsection, take, receive, reserve, and charge on any loan, interest at a rate of not more than 1 per centum in excess of the discount rate on ninety-day commercial paper in effect at the Federal Reserve bank in the Federal Reserve district where such insured credit union is located or at the rate allowed by the laws of the State, territory, or district where such credit union is located, whichever may be greater.
(2) If the rate prescribed in paragraph (1) exceeds the rate such credit union would be permitted to charge in the absence of this subsection, and such State fixed rate is thereby preempted by the rate described in paragraph (1), the taking, receiving, reserving, or charging a greater rate than is allowed by paragraph (1), when knowingly done, shall be deemed a forfeiture of the entire interest which the loan carries with it, or which has been agreed to be paid thereon. If such greater rate of interest has been paid, the person who paid it may recover, in a civil action commenced in a court of appropriate jurisdiction not later than two years after the date of such payment, an amount equal to twice the amount of interest paid from the credit union taking or receiving such interest.
(h) Emergency merger

(1) an emergency requiring expeditious action exists with respect to such other insured credit union;
(i) Emergency purchase of assets; conversion to insured deposits
(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter or of State law, the Board may authorize an institution whose deposits or accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to purchase any of the assets of or assume any of the liabilities of an insured credit union which is insolvent or in danger of insolvency, except that prior to exercising this authority the Board must attempt to effect the merger or consolidation of an insured credit union which is insolvent or in danger of insolvency with another insured credit union, as provided in subsection (h) of this section.
(2) For purposes of the authority contained in paragraph (1), insured accounts of the credit union may upon consummation of the purchase and assumption be converted to insured deposits or other comparable accounts in the acquiring institution, and the Board and the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund shall be absolved of any liability to the credit union's members with respect to those accounts.
(j) Privileges not affected by disclosure to banking agency or supervisor
(1) In general
The submission by any person of any information to the Administration, any State credit union supervisor, or foreign banking authority for any purpose in the course of any supervisory or regulatory process of such Board, supervisor, or authority shall not be construed as waiving, destroying, or otherwise affecting any privilege such person may claim with respect to such information under Federal or State law as to any person or entity other than such Board, supervisor, or authority.
(2) Rule of construction
No provision of paragraph (1) may be construed as implying or establishing that—
(A) any person waives any privilege applicable to information that is submitted or transferred under any circumstance to which paragraph (1) does not apply; or

Welcome to the vibrant, modern Mexican restaurant overlooking the Lazy River just off Mandalay Beach, where Chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger, Food Network's "Too Hot Tamales," want nothing more than to spice up your day. With two floors of patio dining, this hip, urban cantina is the perfect setting for sipping margaritas and savoring a menu of the bold flavors of Mexico while enjoying views of the beach and pool.
Two of America's most beloved chefs, Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger have been business partners for over 20 years. Trailblazers from the start, these classically trained culinary grads (Susan from The Culinary Institute of America and Mary Sue from Washburne Culinary Institute) met in 1978 at Le Perroquet, one of Chicago's best French restaurants. They were the first women to break into the all-male kitchen. Natural teachers, the partners are authors of five cookbooks, as well as Food Network, Top Chef and radio veterans. Mary Sue and Susan are also actively involved in many culinary associations and charities, most notably Share Our Strength and Women Chefs and Restaurateurs.
I pretty much deem Border Grill the best Mexican restaurant in Vegas. Open for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Food is always great. And service is always exceptional. I have never had even a slightly so-so experience at Border Grill. Everything has always been fantastic here. And that's over the course of a few years
3 years after I first found this place I came back with my wife, and this place is still going strong. Good food, moderate prices, excellent service. If they have seating available on their patio and the weather is cooperating, do it.
-John D.
I must admit to being a total food show geek so always take the opportunity to go to restaurants featured on one of them. I saw these two ladies on Top Chef Masters and again on Chef Wanted so when looking for a Mexican place to eat in Las Vegas we jumped at the chance. Needless to say by my five stars we were not disappointed. First let me say if you like tequila, the bar has almost every kind imaginable...

Submission Blizzard adds timestamps to armory->
Kharny writes: In a move that could cause quite serious privacy problems, blizzard added timestamps and a rss feed to world of warcraft characters in their online armory. This new feature will mean that anyone can follow "realtime" developements in a world of warcraft character, and if the user behind the character would be know, even add time and date to playing habits. Many players have already complained about the fact that there is no opt-out option and this opens very big possibilities for online stalking.

Roald Amundsen a Norwegian explorer led the first expedition to reach the south pole. His crew of five members reached south pole on 14-12-1911. Amundsen initially planned to conquer North Pole and raised funds for that purpose. But in 1909 two American explorers claimed that they have reached the north pole, so he changed his plan and prepared for a south pole expedition. He kept his change of plan as secret and even when he set out in june 1910 most people believed he is heading for a north pole expedition.
Amundsen's crew are experts in use of sledge dogs which helped them to advance rapidly. During the same time a British explorer named Scott also led his team of five to south pole expedition. Although Amundsen's party reached the south pole five weeks ahead of scott's team. After successfully reaching the south pole, Amundsen's team returned back to their base safely but later they came to know that Scott's and his crew died on their journey.
Inspite of the successful completion of his south pole expedition for the first time, more importance was given to Scott's heroic death at that time. But later explorers understand the courage of Amundsen to undertake this expedition and finishing it successfully. The scientific base station at the south pole was named after Amundsen and Scott to remember their achievement.

Wounded Phoenix police officer undergoes surgery
PHOENIX — A Phoenix police officer has undergone surgery after being shot six times and authorities say the suspect is facing attempted murder charges.
Police say 36-year-old officer Peter Bennett is recovering from gunshot wounds to the right side of his face, his right hip and right arm. He had surgery Monday.
Bennett was shot Sunday night when police say he approached a man on a bicycle in an area with a high rate of burglaries. The man then fled.
Police sealed off the area and found a 28-year-old man hiding in a shed. The suspect's name hasn't been released yet, but police officials say he has a prior felony conviction.
They say the suspect remains hospitalized with gunshot wounds to both hands and injuries after being bitten by a police dog.

Comments about Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag:
This bag (I got the medium) is the perfect size for toting things to and from my work. It's not too bulky yet can still handle a good deal of stuff. I've used it as a carry-on bag for quick in and out of the airport. Also, I love the waterproof capabilites as I walk to work rain or shine. The only downside (and hardly one at that!) is the shoulder strap pad, which annoyed me at first because it was stiff and would slide around on me, but now that it has been broken in, it fits me well.
