The Orioles are nearing a minor league deal with former AL Cy Young winner Johan Santana, tweets Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com. Jim Duquette of MLB Network Radio tweeted earlier today that Santana was in Orioles camp and wondered if something might be cooking between Baltimore and the Peter Greenberg cilent. The Orioles view Santana as a potential lefty reliever, tweets MLB.com's Britt Ghiroli.
Santana, who turns 35 in 10 days, did not pitch in 2013 after undergoing surgery to repair a torn anterior capsule in his left shoulder for the second time in three years. Santana's last work came in 2012, when he was excellent through the season's first half. That strong stretch was highlighted by the first no-hitter in Mets history on June 1, when Santana shut down a strong Cardinals lineup. However, Santana also walked five in the game and needed a whopping 134 pitches to complete the no-no -- 26 more than he'd thrown in any other start of the year. Santana posted an 8.27 ERA over his next 49 innings before being shut down for the season.

I finally got the pressure hose off the old pump so I could remove the 4th bolt on the power steering pump. The bolt is located directly behind where the hose screws in. You have to remove the hose so you can get to the bolt. Now, I installed a remanufactured power steering pump and tightened down all 4 bolts. How do you get the pressure hose screwed into the bottom of the pump? It sounds simple, but I'm at my wits end trying get it back on? You can't put the hose on 1st then mount it because the hose is in the way of the 4th bolt. Any help or hints would be appreciated!
2nd -- that bolt which was the hardest to remove does not have to be reinstalled.
to install that hose you will be better off removing the pump from the car and installing the hose while it is off. The last thing you want to do is try to maneuver a wrench in that area while trying to install the hose and end up screwing up the hose or stripping the threads of the pump. Plus the sealing for the hose is internal on the fitting. If you mess that up it will leak again and you will have to do this all over.
once you put the hose onto the pump you can reinstall the pump and hose as an assembly. As I mentioned, you do not need to reinstall that 4th bolt. That 4th bolt being gone will also make it easier/possible to remove the serpentine belt tensioner when it finally comes time for that as well
Thank-you so much for your help. I don't mind taking it apart to do the job right and making it easier. They should make note of that in the manuals. I get great advice from the forums!
Should I use some thread lock on the 3 bolts?
you don't really need it, but you can if that would add peace of mind
Anyway, I'm glad you guys are around and it payed off searching the threads to find the fix for my issue. Thanks

DACULA -- Police have charged the driver in a fatal crash Saturday evening on Hamilton Mill Parkway in Dacula with felony vehicular homicide, officials said.
The crash occurred about 6:30 p.m. near the parkway's intersection with Town Manor Court. Four 18-year-old occupants were southbound in a 1992 Honda Civic when the driver lost control and struck a tree in the median, police said.
Two passengers -- Emmanuel Vasquez-Marrero and Carlos Bonilla, both of Dacula -- were ejected. Vasquez-Marrero, a rear seat passenger, died at the scene, police said.
Bonilla remains in critical condition at Gwinnett Medical Center. The alleged driver, Jason Polo of Dacula, and a third passenger were hospitalized with minor injuries.
Polo is charged with vehicular homicide, serious injury by vehicle and reckless driving, said Gwinnett police spokesman Cpl. Brian Kelly. Police don't believe any other vehicles were involved.
The two charges related to passengers' injuries are considered felonies in light of Polo's alleged erratic driving.
Polo was arrested Saturday but has since posted $31,600 bond.
A Gwinnett Public Schools representative said Polo attends Dacula High School. Enrollment status for the other teens named in the crash was unclear.
An investigation into the crash continues.
Police urge anyone with information to call the Gwinnett County Police Department accident investigation unit at 770-513-5100.

Security challenges are continually evolving. The range of intentional, accidental, and natural threats continues to grow, making the ability to quickly identify and respond to emergent events more crucial. The challenge is made more difficult when the most relevant data associated with the situation is buried under a flood of information being presented to the user. Without the ability to surface the right information, decision makers are unable to gain real-time, accurate understanding of the situation at hand. Mariner's CommandBridge™ suite of products are designed to solve these challenges and more.
Mariner's field-proven CommandBridge platform uses advanced software technology to assimilate sensor feeds, cut through security-information clutter, and provide relevant and actionable information to stakeholders across the region. A high performance system utilizing secure role-based access, CommandBridge provides users with a highly flexible, secure, and configurable solution to situational awareness and incident response. The software platform architecture allows CommandBridge to ingest and display virtually any sensor feed—such as AIS, cameras, radar, sonar, access control and alarm systems—while its web based design allows users, command center personnel, intelligence analysts, and others to quickly interpret information, collaborate, and make actionable recommendations rather than merely collecting and presenting data. CommandBridge also leverages the power of social media to build a more detailed and relevant common operating picture and permits situation collaboration with on-the-scene users.
Mariner's staff of subject matter experts have firsthand experience in the daily operations and
management of maritime security. This insight, combined with our standards-based open systems architecture, allows Mariner to rapidly deploy CommandBridge with extensive out-of-the-box capabilities, making it possible to establish true and effective situational awareness quickly.

LAWRENCE, Mich. (WZZM) -- A 74-year-old man is facing home invasion charges after he was caught on camera breaking into a home in Van Buren County.
The victim, Dan Bohle, says he suspected someone had been stealing from him since December. It wasn't until recently that $400 of his upcoming vacation money went missing. Dan and his wife, Patty took action, setting up a trail camera in the kitchen and pointed it at the door.
The thief can be seen at the table going through Dan's wallet. "How much money you think he took? I know the last three times, which was over six days, about $535," Dan told WZZM 13.
The Bohles contacted the Van Buren County Sheriff's Department. The elderly man was later arrested for first degree home invasion. The Bohles know who he is and have helped him in the past.
"We've helped him for years and years. With a place to live, provided him with money. I just decided that I've helped him for 10 to 15 years. You just don't do that to somebody you helped," said Dan.
Deputies searched the man's home and found drug residue. They also say after he left the Bohles' home, he went to a nearby casino where he stayed for about an hour and a half. He will likely be arraigned on Tuesday.

Two Frank Phillips College Lady Plainsmen softball players received All-Conference honors this week for their play during the 2012 season.
FPC freshman infielder Lucinda Ponce was named First Team All-Conference and All-Region after hitting .404 with 15 doubles and 10 home runs with 36 RBIs.
FPC sophomore outfielder Janelle Smith was named to the Honorable Mention All-Conference team. Smith had a .354 batting average with eight doubles, and three home runs with 33 RBIs.
One of the things that separates junior college athletics from what can be found at universities is the high amount of turnaround teams tend to see from one year to the next. In recent years, the high turnover trend was alive and well in the Frank Phillips College Plainsmen Men's Basketball program where having just two or three players turning from the previous season seemed to be the norm.
However, the Plainsmen appear to be breaking the trend, as eight players have signed letter of intents to return to Frank Phillips College, including all five starters from the 2011-12 squad.

The following alumni profiles describe the many ways our alumni have found to give and contribute to the spiritual growth and health of their communities.
After graduating from Yo San, Alexa Hulsey spent three years as a YSU faculty member, clinical practitioner, and also served as the University's Assistant Academic Dean. She relocated to Tennessee and in 2010 opened East Nashville Community Acupuncture, which provides affordable acupuncture in a peaceful community setting. Her clinic now employs several full-time acupuncturists and provides around 1,000 low-cost acupuncture treatments every month. Alexa also currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Community Acupuncture Network.
Dr. Wing-Benn Deng emigrated from his native Taiwan in 1995, intending to pursue a career in western medicine in the United States. He enrolled in pre-med studies at the University of California, San Diego, earning his Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Upon graduation he experienced a personal health problem that altered his thinking about Western medicine. He decided to focus on holistic healing and entered the graduate program in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) at Yo San University (YSU) where he graduated with honors in 2004.
Following graduation from YSU, Dr. Deng obtained his California acupuncture license and joined YSU as Manager of the Herbal Dispensary in the Yo San Clinic. He also started teaching courses in Chinese Herbal Pharmacopoeia and Chinese Nutrition. In 2005, Dr. Deng gave a well-received series of community lectures on TCM and healthy aging at several local senior centers as part of the university's Healthy Aging Initiative sponsored by Unihealth Foundation. Currently, Dr. Deng is the Chair of Acupuncture Department at YSU and teaches TCM and Acupuncture courses at the university. He is also a clinical supervisor for the YSU externship programs at both Venice Family Clinic (Chronic Pain Management Program) and Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Dr. Deng has maintained a private acupuncture practice at the Yo San Clinic since 2004.
Karina Stewart received her BA degree from Princeton University with a major in Cultural Anthropology. Growing up in Mexico, Karina was exposed to holistic medicine and meditation at an early age. She recalled practicing meditation and yoga in her teenage years as part of her daily routine along with a vegetarian diet at home. By chance in the early 90s', Karina met Hua Ching Ni, the chancellor of Yo San University. She was impressed by him and his teachings and wanted to learn more about the Taoist philosophy and Chinese Medicine. That's when she began her long journey through the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Several months after graduating from Yo San,Karina married John Stewart, and together,they moved to Kathmandu, Nepal. There she opened a TCM clinic and began treating patients. Finding every opportunity to better her skills, Karina travelled to Japan and China to learn from the finest teachers and practitioner she could find. Constantly looking for something meaningful to do, Karina took part in building a company that produced handmade herbal products, and cultivated an herbal garden. She experimented with making Chinese Medicinal wines and found a formula that helped two infertile couples conceive.
When Karina and John married, they dreamed of one day creating a wellness resort. Years later, while traveling to Thailand for personal health reasons, John came across a large piece of land in Koh Samui. He fell in love with the tranquility and beauty of the place, as well as its history as a place for meditation and retreat. In 2001, Karina and John moved to Koh Samui and began planning for the wellness sanctuary of their dreams. It took them 3 years to get permission and licensing from the local government to create the necessary infrastructure, and to complete the architectural and landscape designs. It took them another year to build the resort. In November 2005, Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary and Holistic Spa opened its doors. Yoga, stress reduction, and detox are some of the programs offered at the spa. The architecture is designed to help guests connect with nature and promote relaxation and wellbeing. Meals served at the restaurants focus on healthy eating with the finest yet simple ingredients. It was no surprise that in three short years,Kamalaya was named The Destination Spa of the Year by AsiaSpa Awards. Since then, Kamalaya continues to receive prestigious awards year after year, including the most recent Prime Minister's Award for Excellence in Thailand. Karina truly believes that the reason for her success is due to the people working at Kamalaya. They are naturally caring and have the amazing ability to stay in tune with the needs of the guests. Karina remains involved as Brand/Concept Director. She continues to explore and design wellness programs based on the fundamental principles of TCM she learned at YSU.
When asked what advice she has for students who are just starting the YSU program, Karina urges them to go beyond the classroom learning and clinical training. "Embrace the entire life style," she stressed, "learn I-Ching, Tai Chi, and read the Taoist texts.' Above all, "Be inspired and focus on your passion. And don't try to be good in everything… don't be afraid to specialize in any one aspect of TCM.

Together, Nini and Jonah established a successful TCM herbal dispensary company, Fat Turtle Herbs, based in Culver City, California. "In the course of our studies at Yo San, we came to realize the need for a full service TCM herbal pharmacy that not only offers custom fulfillment of herbal formulas, but also provides educational support to both the acupuncture profession and the public in general" said Nini. "We were inspired by the awesome herb instructors we had at Yo San, and the supportive environment at school really made a difference; we felt encouraged and were optimistic we would make it," added Jonah. Over the last two years, their company has grown from a part-time student-intern venture into a full-fledged successful business with four employees and orders coming in from Hawaii to Florida. In addition to the herbal company, Nini also maintains a thriving private acupuncture practice in the west Los Angeles area. To fulfill their mission of educational support to the profession, Fat Turtle Herbs made a donation to the Yo San University Alumni Scholarship fund in 2009, "as a token of appreciation for the education we received at Yo San, as well as to encourage other Yo San students to strive for success after graduation." What advice do Nini and Jonah have for other students or junior practitioners on how to be successful? "The key is to be confident at what you do and don't stop learning" Jonah offered. "Develop an 'entrepreneurial hustle' – you've got to get out there, identify opportunities and put in time and energy to make things happen". "Good basic business acumen definitely helps," added Nini, flashing a wide grin. To learn more about their herbal company, visit them online at: www.fatturtleherbs.com
Everything from crunchy apples to complicated computer programs with a whole lot of needles in between; is a concise characterization of the career of Yo San University Graduate Richard Rosen.
When he graduated from Yo San in 1998, Richard might have imagined a full time acupuncture TCM practice. However, what unfolded in the ensuring years by Richard's choice has included a range of activities that emerged out of expertise developed in earlier parts of his career as well as from his Yo San master's degree.
A major step in diversifying his career was his move more than eleven years ago with his wife and three young daughters from his native Los Angeles to a new home in the semi-rural Napa Valley/Sonoma, California. In the tiny hamlet of Forestville The Rosen family acquired a very productive acre that provided space for the cultivation of exotic apples and several other fruit varieties. With the help of the entire family, Richard became comfortable in the role of part-time farmer and organic gardener. But being a steward of the earth was not enough for this Yo San graduate. Richard has additionally drawn from a prior career in computer programming continuing his in the role of development, marketing, consulting and maintenance of several software packages designed to assist TCM students and practitioners.
One product that assists TCM students in learning herbs was initially developed when he was struggling in the Yo San Program with the complexities of herbs and herbal formulas. Richard is also the author of a professional practice management software package, "TCM Pro", which was utilized by the Yo San University Community Clinic for many years. He continues to promote this software package and works with numerous practices across the country regarding the use of that program.
Finally, Richard carries on the Yo San University Ni Family tradition in a busy acupuncture practice in space adjacent to his retail store where he treats a wide range of conditions.

What you can do to help stop spread of West Nile Virus
The Preventive Medicine Division at Naval Branch Health Clinic Port Hueneme and the Naval Base Ventura County Public Works Department are working together to prevent West Nile Virus (WNV) from reaching the base.
So far this year in California, there has been one reported human cases of WNV. Updates can be found at westnile.ca.gov.
What is WNV? Experts believe WNV is established as a seasonal epidemic in North America that flares up in the summer and continues into the fall. It is a potentially serious illness.
What can I do to prevent WNV? The easiest and best way to avoid WNV is to prevent mosquito bites. When you are outdoors, use insect repellent containing an EPA-registered active ingredient. Make sure you have good screens on your windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out. Get rid of mosquito breeding sites by emptying standing water from flowerpots, buckets and barrels. Change the water in pet dishes and replace the water in birdbaths weekly. Keep children's wading pools empty and on their sides when they aren't being used.
What are the symptoms of WNV? Approximately 80 percent of people — about 4 out of 5 — who are infected with WNV will not show any symptoms at all. Some people may have mild symptoms that include fever, headache, body aches, nausea, vomiting and sometimes swollen lymph glands or a skin rash on the chest, stomach and back. Severe symptoms can include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis. These symptoms may last several weeks, and neurological effects may be permanent.
How does WNV spread? Most often, WNV is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on infected birds. Infected mosquitoes can then spread WNV to humans and other animals when they bite. In a very small number of cases, WNV also has been spread through blood transfusions, organ transplants, breastfeeding and even during pregnancy from mother to baby. It is not spread by touching.
How soon do infected people get sick? People typically develop symptoms between 3 and 14 days after they are bitten by the infected mosquito.
How is WNV infection treated? There is no specific treatment for WNV infection. In cases with milder symptoms, the fever and aches pass on their own, although even healthy people have become sick for several weeks. In more severe cases, people usually need to go to the hospital where they can receive supportive treatment, including intravenous fluids, help with breathing and nursing care.
What should I do if I think I have WNV? Milder WNV illness improves on its own, and people do not necessarily need to seek medical attention for this infection, though they may choose to do so. If you develop symptoms of severe WNV illness, such as unusually severe headaches or confusion, seek medical attention immediately. Severe WNV illness usually requires hospitalization.
What is the risk of getting sick from WNV? People over the age of 50 are more likely to develop serious symptoms of WNV and should take special care to avoid mosquito bites. Risk through medical procedures is very low. All donated blood is checked for WNV before being used. The risk of getting WNV through blood transfusions and organ transplants is very small and should not prevent people who need surgery from having it. If you have concerns, talk to your doctor. Pregnancy and nursing do not increase the risk of becoming infected with WNV. The risk that WNV may present to a fetus or an infant infected through breast milk is still being evaluated. Talk with your care provider if you have concerns.
What else should I know? If you find a dead bird, don't handle the body with your bare hands. Contact your local health department for instructions on reporting and disposing of the body. They may tell you to dispose of the bird after they log your report. A report is not necessary if the animal has been dead for more than 24 hours, has been hit by a car, shot or killed by animals, is covered with ants or flies, has a foul odor or its body is not intact. To report a dead bird aboard Naval Base Ventura County,call the Preventive Medicine Division at 805-982-6358 or 805-982-6316. To report one off base, call your local county Public Health Office.

Next Update: August 27, 2008
The Maryland Fishing Challenge continues through this month and until September 1st. Fishermen are encouraged to register any fish they catch that meets the minimum size criteria at a Citation Center to be in the drawing for a number of prizes which include a new 4x4 Tundra pickup truck, a boat, motor and trailer outfit and thousands of dollars in prizes.
Chad Wisner recently caught and released this 21.5" smallmouth bass at Loch Raven Reservoir and qualifies for a citation and is automatically entered in the Maryland Fishing Challenge.
On July 31, 2008, 21 specially tagged striped bass will be released at locations throughout the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. One of the 21 will be Diamond Jim, a fish worth $25,000 cash courtesy of Boater's World and a $5,000 diamond from Smyth Jewelers, if caught by midnight on August 31. The other tagged striped bass, Diamond Jim imposters, will each be worth $500 in Boater's World gift certificates.
Designed to promote recreational fishing in Maryland, recognize angler efforts and inspire environmental stewardship, the 2008 Maryland Fishing Challenge began Saturday, April 12 and runs through Labor Day, September 1. Any angler who catches a citation-qualifying fish will be eligible to win one of the official sponsor grand prizes. To date, over 1,100 anglers have qualified to win grand prizes, including a 2008 Toyota Tundra 4x4 pickup truck from Central Atlantic Toyota, a boat and trailer package from Bass Pro Shops and $5,000 in gear from Bill's Outdoor Center.
Outdoorsmen are an observant group, always watching conditions for fishing and hunting and our lifetime of experiences and lessons are often hard earned. Young fishermen often have an insatiable appetite to learn as much as they can and as quick as they can. Sometimes one of the hardest lessons to learn is to just take it easy and have a good time. Young fishermen, at times can have an ego fueled by a few successes of perhaps catching a good fish or having a particular good day of fishing. I will always remember a veteran commercial crabber offering comments about relatively young crabbers who thought they had the crabs figured out as to where they were going to be at any one time and how to catch them. "Just as soon as you think you've got the crabs figured out they'll make a fool out of you"; I have heard commercial lobster fishermen and hunting guides for everything from elk to ducks say the same thing at one time or another. Humble pie is best served with understanding friends.
One lesson most of us have learned is about taking someone to your favorite fishing hole and promising they're going to bail the fish; based on your last fishing trip there, that is lesson #21, you will get skunked. A mother sent in the picture and the text below; I couldn't help but start laughing when I saw the picture. Lesson #23, be humble when you take a novice fishing especially a girl and in this case you've really got the odds stacked up against you when it's your sister. Nine times out of ten, girls, sisters, wives will out fish you and beat you at your own game.
My kids love to fish and go almost everyday every year they do a all kids fishing tournament held by the town of Poolesville and just about every year they place When my daughter
Destiny Fisher was only 8 she caught the huge catfish in the picture of her and My oldest son Dylan Fisher(age 11) she took first place and he took 2nd (Not a very happy older brother ) They are now 10 and 13 and still fish almost everyday We joke that my son (last month) caught the biggest fish of all He caught himself in the back with a hook while casting and had to have it taken out at the hospital He was fishing the next day!
Upper bay fishermen are finding a nice mix of small bluefish and striped bass from the Brewerton Channel south to the Bay Bridge. Often they are encountering breaking fish in the early mornings and evening hours. Live lining spot has been a very successful way of catching a nice grade of striped bass as has trolling and chumming.
Middle bay region fishermen are catching their striped bass mostly by live lining spot along steep channel edges but also by trolling and light tackle jigging to breaking fish. Bluefish are very much a part of the mix when fishing for striped bass and Spanish mackerel arrived this past weekend in large numbers to the middle bay region and are spread throughout the entire lower bay region. Lower bay region fishermen also are live lining for their striped bass as well as trolling and chumming.
Shawn Kimbro sent in this report typical of the action fishermen encountered this past weekend in the middle and lower regions of the Chesapeake.
Dave Wolf and I caught 23 Spanish and twice that many blues casting Saturday near Sharp's Island Light. The lure of choice was specialized Bait's L'il Bunker cast past sounding fish then reeled back fast. The fish have fantastic vision, so we had to adjust our techniques to using as little hardware as possible. I went back Sunday and got a few more also casting, this time on the south side of Poplar Island.
Bottom fishing for white perch and channel catfish in the upper bay remains good in many areas. Finding large croaker and in good numbers has become a little more difficult recently in the middle bay and lower bay regions. Fishing is better in the early morning and evening hours and the best fishing is late at night on some of the shoal areas adjacent to deep water.
Freshwater fishermen are finding good trout fishing opportunities in the western regions trout waters due partly to good water flows and also recent stockings of large rainbow trout. Largemouth bass fishermen are fishing the shallows during the early morning and evening hours and fishing deep cover during the day. Fishermen in the upper Potomac are catching channel catfish and a few smallmouth bass and walleye this week.
Eli Gonsalves holds up a nice Potomac walleye he caught while fishing late in the evening.
Fishermen in the Ocean City area continue to catch flounder in the back bay areas, the inlet and along the beaches.
Surf fishermen are catching a mix of small summer species along the beaches early in the morning and in the evening hours. Sea bass and flounder fishing is fair at the wreck sites and offshore fishermen are bringing a mix of dolphin and yellowfin tuna back to the docks and flying white marlin release flags. Underwater diver and photographer
Michael Eversmier recently did a dive on the New York Subway cars that were deployed at the Jackspot this spring. He sent us this picture to show that the first stages of marine growth are beginning to develop on the subway cars.
What is most emphatic in angling is made so by the long silences- the unproductive periods.

Torchwood: Out of Time
It would be great, wouldn't it? All that new technology, fashion changes, a better lifestyle? A whole new world to explore?
Don't be so stupid.
It would be awful. And this week's episode of Torchwood proved it.
If my review of this week's Robin Hood was somewhat scathing of its dreadful plot, then this week's episode of Torchwood couldn't be further from the boring mess in Sherwood Forrest.
Like last week's episode, 'Random Shoes', 'Out of Time' was another emotionally-charged gem, this time from the pen of Welsh playwright Catherine Tregenna (who will also provide the script for the penultimate episode 'Captain Jack Harkness').
When three people on a flight to Ireland in 1953 landed in modern-day Cardiff in 2006, courtesy of the mysterious 'rift' in space and time, the Torchwood team found themselves facing one of the biggest mysteries they've ever encountered; how to deal with the loneliness of being lost in time.
And this is truly what it must be like to be lonely; a man in his late 40s discovering his aged son in a nursing home suffering from Alzheimer's disease, a female pilot without a 2006 license or a purpose in life -- and a young woman unable to come to terms with modern attitudes to sexuality.
Like some kind of kitchen sink drama, the lives of these people played out and touched three of Torchwood's key members; Owen, who fell in love with the pilot, Jack, who recognised a heartbreaking parallel with his own life -- and Gwen, who unwittingly exposed her ability to lie to her partner about her life and work at Torchwood.
Once again, I found myself with a tear in my eye as these unfortunate characters struggled to come to terms with the almighty curse set upon them by dreadful circumstances; a future with no hope and a past with no memory.
However, I reckon we might see one or two of them again at some point in the future. Or maybe the past.
Torchwood might have been slow out of the blocks in the first few episodes, but recent weeks have set it apart from anything else on UK television right now (except Doctor Who, of course).
It almost seems a shame to look forward to the end.

Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
Issued: May 23, 2012
Subject: Application of the Prepaid Access Rule to Bank-Controlled Programs
Dear [ ]:
I am responding to your letter, dated November 1, 2011, to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ("FinCEN"), in which you seek an administrative ruling on the application of money services business ("MSB") regulations as they relate to the activities of [ ] ("the Company") as a distributor and seller of bank network-branded, reloadable and non-reloadable prepaid cards. Specifically, you asked whether the Company is considered a prepaid access provider and subject to MSB registration; and whether the Company is subject to the bank exemption from the definition of MSB for the purpose of prepaid product sales.
You state that the Company markets, distributes and sells to consumers in its stores certain bank-issued reloadable and non-reloadable open-loop cards, and reload packs through which cardholders can add value to reloadable cards. The cards are issued by [ ] ("the Bank"), a national bank that is supervised by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The responsibilities of the Company and the Bank are set forth in an agreement between them. The agreement provides that the Bank is responsible for issuing the cards, establishing and maintaining account balances, and processing card transactions; and the Company is responsible for selling the cards to consumers in grocery and other retail stores owned and operated by the Company and its affiliates, and conforming to the Bank's anti-money laundering compliance program. The Company and the Bank also have executed an amendment to the agreement in which the Bank has been designated as the "provider" of prepaid access.
The term MSB refers to financial services providers, wherever located, that do business wholly or in a substantial part in the United States in each of the following distinct categories: (1) dealer in foreign exchange; (2) check casher; (3) issuer or seller of traveler's checks or money orders; (4) provider of prepaid access; (5) money transmitter; (6) the United States Postal Service; and (7) seller of prepaid access.1 A bank, as defined in the BSA regulations, cannot be an MSB.2
A provider of prepaid access is defined as "the participant within a prepaid program that agrees to serve as the principal conduit for access to information from its fellow program participants[.]" The participants in a prepaid program must designate one of the prepaid program participants to serve as the provider of prepaid access.3 Additionally, where no non-bank participant registers as the provider of prepaid access for a defined prepaid access program, "the provider of prepaid access is the person with principal oversight and control over the prepaid program."
A seller of prepaid access is defined as:
Any person that receives funds or the value of funds in exchange for an initial loading or subsequent loading of prepaid access if that person: (i) Sells prepaid access offered under a prepaid program that can be used before verification of customer identification under § 1022.210(d)(1)(iv); or (ii) Sells prepaid access (including closed loop prepaid access) to funds that exceed $10,000 to any person during any one day, and has not implemented policies and procedures reasonably adapted to prevent such a sale.4
According to your letter, an amendment to the contract between the Company and the Bank designated the Bank as the provider of prepaid access. However, "provider of prepaid access" is a defined category of MSB, and banks are one of the types of entities excluded from being an MSB. A bank, therefore, cannot be designated as the provider of prepaid access for any defined MSB prepaid access program. Where a bank has primary oversight and control over an arrangement to provide prepaid access, no participant is required to register as the provider of prepaid access. Although a contractual designation of a bank as a "provider of prepaid access" cannot make a bank an MSB, such language in a contract would serve as evidence of a bank's oversight and control over an arrangement to provide prepaid access.
In this case, if the Bank exercises primary oversight and control over the arrangement to provide prepaid access which the Company distributes and sells, the Company would not be required to register as the provider of prepaid access and would not be an MSB under 31 CFR § 1010.100(ff)(4), nor would any other participant in the particular prepaid access arrangement.
Please keep in mind, however, that the Company may or may not be considered a seller of prepaid access even if it is not a provider of prepaid access under our regulations. If the Company sells a prepaid product from a defined MSB prepaid program that can be used before verification of customer identification, the Company would be a seller of prepaid access. The company also would be a seller of prepaid access if it sells any type of prepaid access, regardless of whether it is from a defined MSB prepaid access program or from another prepaid access arrangement, without having implemented policies and procedures reasonably adapted to prevent the sale of such prepaid access to funds that exceed $10,000 to any person during any one day. However, if the Company's prepaid access sales only involve products other than prepaid access products from a defined MSB prepaid program that provides access to funds prior to customer identification, and the Company has implemented policies and procedures reasonably adapted to prevent the sale of prepaid products that provide access to more than $10,000 to any person during any one day, then the Company would not be a seller of prepaid access. 9
This ruling is provided in accordance with the procedures set forth at 31 CFR § 1010.711. In arriving at the conclusions in this letter, we have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the representations made in your letter. Nothing precludes us from reaching a different conclusion or taking further action if circumstances change or any of the information provided is inaccurate or incomplete. We reserve the right, after redacting your name and your company's name and address, to publish this letter as guidance to financial institutions in accordance with our regulations. You have fourteen days from the date of this letter to identify any other information you believe should be redacted and the legal basis for redaction.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact [FinCEN's regulatory helpline at (800) 949-2732].

1 31 CFR § 1010.100(ff)(1)-(7).
2 See 31 CFR § 1010.100(ff)(8)(i).
3 See 31 CFR § 1010.100(ff)(4).
4 See 31 CFR § 1010.100(ff)(7).
5 In your letter, you assert that you are an agent of the bank and therefore cannot be an MSB. However, please note that FinCEN does not deem it a viable argument for a company merely to assert that it is an agent of a bank, and therefore not an MSB, for providing or selling prepaid access issued by a bank. In the absence of an agreement, a prepaid access provider determination is based on the underlying activity in which a participant is involved and based on all the facts and circumstances, such as whether a participant in an arrangement may have primary oversight and control.
6 See Frequently Asked Questions: Final Rule – Definitions and Other Regulations Relating to Prepaid Access, Question 9 (Nov. 2, 2011), available at (http://www.fincen.gov/news_room/nr/html/20111102.html).
7 See 31 CFR §§ 1010.100(ff)(7)(i) and 1022.210(d)(1)(iv). While this would not apply with respect to the sale of prepaid access solely under the arrangement that you have with the Bank as described in your letter, it could be the case if you were to sell prepaid access under another prepaid access arrangement.
8 See 31 CFR § 1010.100(ff)(7)(ii). This may apply with respect to the sale of prepaid access under any arrangement that you have, including the arrangement that you have with the Bank as described in your letter.
9 For example, if the Company is only selling prepaid access under the arrangement with the Bank as described in your letter, and the Company has implemented the policies and procedures referenced in 31 CFR § 1010.100(ff)(7)(ii), it would not be a seller of prepaid access under FinCEN's regulations.

The Cape Cod Commission is proposing to have more of a say in revising thresholds for developments of regional impact. In additions to towns being able to apply to raise or lower the thresholds for Commission review, the agency itself would be able to "propose a revised DRI threshold on behalf of the region," according to draft language.
On Aug. 29 at 3 p.m., the Commission will hold a public hearing on the matter at First District Court House in Barnstable Village.

Thanks for visiting! It is with great pleasure that I announce that my debut novel, Last Flight Out has been released. Please click on the "Book Signings & Appearances" tab for the current schedule. Check back often for updates, and stay tuned for the upcoming release of my second novel, Echo Valley!
June 2013: Last Flight Out lands at the 40th Annual Daytime Emmys!
June 14th – 16th: Beverly Hills, CA
Thrilled to announce Last Flight Out has been chosen as a gift for Daytime Emmy Awards guests in the 2013 "Swag Bag!" Beverly Hills, here we come!
For more information on the 40th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards click here.
January 2013: Inspiring Bloggers Award
Huge thanks to the fabulous editor of Last Flight Out, Nikki Andrews, who nominated me for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. Nikki is a wealth of inspiration, knowledge, and support for writers in all stages of their careers. Be sure to check out Nikki's books and blog at: www.scrivenersriver.blogspot.com
According to the rules of the award, I'm supposed to tell you seven things about myself, and then nominate a few other writers.
Here goes:
1. I started writing my first book in college. That's when I first came up with the last name "Sheridan" in Last Flight Out.
2. Despite being on TV, I don't wear makeup, contacts, or use hairspray on the weekends.
3. I like to make small talk with presidential candidates. Before we go live for our interview, we chat about all kinds of things: kids, spouses, favorite foods, and their memories of New Hampshire. And we laugh, a lot. You'd be surprised at how "normal" most of them are.
4. I totally, from the bottom of my heart and the depths of my gut, despise news stories that involve the abuse of a child or animal.
5. People I do stories on become my friends. It happens all the time.
6. I feel utter joy when I watch my son hit home runs and my daughter score goals. It's the purest kind of happiness I've ever felt.
7. I have lived in New England my entire life, yet I hate seafood. Go Figure.
Here are some other wonderful bloggers I have nominated for this honor!
