Last week, the five agencies that jointly issued the final regulation implementing the Volcker Rule (the Final Rule) in December issued an interim final rule (the Interim Rule) that exempts collateralized debt obligations backed by trust-preferred securities, also known as TruPS CDOs, from the Final Rule's broad restrictions.
As noted in a previous alert, inclusion of these securities within the coverage of the Final Rule led to a petition for judicial review filed by some banks and the American Bankers Association (ABA). While the Interim Rule will provide relief to smaller banking entities that qualify for the exemption, it is narrowly drawn and will not cover all similarly situated institutions.
The agencies that promulgated the Volcker Rule (collectively, the Agencies) are the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Though only the three bank regulators (OCC, the Federal Reserve, and FDIC) were named respondents in the litigation, the two market regulators (SEC and CFTC) also participated in this effort to resolve the dispute.
The petitioners in the litigation assert that TruPS CDOs are debt securities, whereas the Volcker Rule, enacted by Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank legislation, is targeted only at equity investments. Another provision of Dodd-Frank, Section 171 (commonly referred to as the Collins Amendment), grandfathered, for purposes of regulatory capital, TruPS CDOs issued before May 19, 2010, by holding companies with $15 billion or less in total consolidated assets.
The Agencies are attempting to reconcile Volcker Rule interests with those of the Collins Amendment. The Interim Rule does not formally amend the Final Rule but co-exists as a separate but complementary regulation. It provides that the covered fund restrictions of the Final Rule are inapplicable to a banking entity's owning an interest in, or sponsoring, any issuer of TruPS CDOs provided three conditions are met:
Regarding the second condition, according to the Agencies, the term "invested primarily" focuses on securitizations where a majority of the offering proceeds were invested in "Qualifying TruPS Collateral." Such collateral is defined as "any trust preferred security or subordinated debt instrument issued prior to May 19, 2010 by a depository institution holding company that, as of the end of any reporting period within 12 months immediately preceding the issuance of such trust preferred security or subordinated debt instrument, had total consolidated assets of less than [$15 billion] or issued prior to May 19, 2010 by a mutual holding company."
According to the Agencies, the exemption is targeted only at issuers formed primarily for the purpose of investing primarily in "Qualifying TruPS Collateral." The exemption will not, however, cover obligations that display some similarities with TruPS CDOs, such as debt securities of collateralized loan obligations.
Following issuance of the Interim Rule, the ABA announced that it was dropping its request for emergency judicial relief but will maintain the litigation, at least for now, while the association consults with its membership on the "impact and implications" of the Interim Rule.
The Interim Rule is open for comment. Some issues worthy of comment are:

College notebook: Shirck reconsiders college track future
Brandon Shirck (Nordhoff) had reached his breaking point.
Frustrated by an injury-plagued running career at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, the junior was ready to give up his final year of athletic eligibility.
He was prepared to become just a regular student and no longer practice or compete.
But Shirck is rethinking his plans after capturing the 5,000-meter title at the Big West Conference Track and Field Championships last weekend.
Competing in the event for the first time this season, Shirck won the race in a time of 14 minutes, 43.41 seconds.
"It was really unexpected. I didn't see it coming at all," Shirck said. "It was nice to do something that I haven't done in a long time. It was a nice little confidence boost."
Shirck has struggled with nagging knee problems at Cal Poly, and was diagnosed with anemia earlier this year.
"Nothing was kind of going my way," Shirck said. "Every time I took time off and thought things were getting better, I would get hurt again. I couldn't understand it."
Shirck's confidence took another hit at the Big West Championships after finishing fifth in the 1,500 in a time of 3:47.34.
"I definitely went into it thinking I could win and I was leading the race," he said. "Nobody was going to take it and I was feeling really good, so I just went for it and then blew up like I've never done before. Everybody just stormed past me. It was really bad."
Shirck competed in the 5,000 mainly just to help Cal Poly score team points, but it turned out to be a crucial turning point for him individually.
"I just was out there to have fun and the race kind of played into my hands," he said. "I was in the middle towards the back and then nobody really went for it. With about 400 to go, I figured I would try the same thing as I did earlier even though it didn't work the first time."
Despite his injuries, Shirck has enjoyed his overall experience at Cal Poly.
"I love it here. San Luis Obispo I think is the best place in the world," said Shirck, a recreation management major. "I haven't been to many places, but I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. It's been awesome."
Fresh off his title run, Shirck's outlook on running has brightened as well. Rather than thinking about walking away from competition, he is thinking about his future goals in the 1,500.
"I think during that race I could have gone for 3:43 before I fell apart," he said. "I feel like I can drop quite a bit of time if I just get in the right race."
Tracking their progress: UCLA senior Cory Primm (Westlake) captured the first Pacific-10 Conference Track and Field title of his career by winning the 800 in a time of 1 minute, 47.57 seconds. UCLA sophomore Maxwell Dyce (Moorpark) finished third in the 200 in 20.94. In the prelims, Dyce ran a lifetime-best time of 20.75. ... Cal Poly San Luis Obispo freshman Jamison Jordan (Rio Mesa) finished second in the 100 at the Big West Conference Championships in a time of 10.62 seconds and finished third in the 200 in a time of 21.41. ... Cal State Northridge senior Claire Morgan (Ventura, Ventura College) finished fifth in the discus at the Big West Championships with a throw of 146-3. The Matadors captured their sixth straight conference title. ... UC Davis junior Lauren Radke (Oaks Christian) finished second in the pole vault at the Big West Championships with a mark of 12-5.50. ... Metro State senior Brandon Johnson (Ventura) has been selected to participate in the NCAA Division II Track & Field Championships May 26-28 in Turlock. Johnson will compete in the 5,000-meter run.
News and notes: Senior Jennifer DeFazio (Simi Valley) had four RBIs in three games and senior Kris Lesovsky (Royal) finished 4 for 8 with three runs scored to help the UC San Diego softball team capture the NCAA Division II West Region 1 title and advance to the West Super Regional. Lesovsky hit two doubles to become UCSD's all-time leader with 50. ... Delaware State freshman Stephanie Martello (Pacifica) was a second-team All-Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference selection. Martello finished the season batting .307 with 11 doubles, 21 runs scored and a team-leading 35 RBIs. ... Junior catcher Jeremy Rodriguez, a Thousand Oaks resident, finished 3 for 3 with two RBIs to help the Cal State Bakersfield baseball team beat UCLA 5-1. ... Oregon freshman right-hander Brandon Tessar, a Simi Valley resident, pitched into the seventh inning in the first start of his collegiate career. Tessar allowed three hits in a 6-0 victory over Gonzaga.

A federal court judge ruled in favor of transsexual inmate, Michelle Kosilek, previously known at Robert, to have the State of Massachusetts pay for reconstructive surgery. Michelle is serving a life sentence without parole for murdering his wife in 1990. Michelle has been diagnosed with gender identity disorder. She has attempted to castrate herself and tried to commit suicide, while in the all-male prison in Norfolk. Click below to read more.
Usually, A$AP Rocky and his mob flash their bottles and their jewelry in Rock's videos, but they took a different approach for the first video off their debut mixtape. "Bath Salt" features the Flatbush Zombies and the guys go pretty goth for the visual. Glad to see they're stepping out of the coffin box.
Troy Ave drops the visuals for his latest single "Red Cup" off his highly anticipated mixtape "Brick In My Backpack 3″ which dropped this past June.
Mexican police have arrested a man, "who is persumed to be and say he is," Mario Cardenas Guillen. He was captured in the northern state of Tamaulipas. Guillen is a suspected leader of the Gulf cartel. His brother, Osiel Cardenas Guillen, was the cartel's founder and former leader. Click below to read more.
We already knew Evelyn would be making an appearance on Iyanla Vanzant's new show on the OWN network, "Fix My Life," and now we get a sneak peek.
Music mogul Chris Lighty unfortunately passed away last week, in what cops ruled a suicide until further investigation. Reports surfaced after that he'd just gotten in a fight with his ex-wife Veronica, who'd filed for divorce from Chris in late 2011. There were also reports that he was currently in millions of dollars of debt to the IRS. Apparently, both reports aren't completely true. We later found out that his debt was only a couple hundred thousand, chump change to the man that helped broker 50 Cent's $100 million Vitamin Water deal, amongst SO many other things. Now Veronica has spoken out for the first time, and guess what…their divorce was OFF as of Father's Day! So they were together! It's seeming more and more unlikely it was the "suicide" the cops are claiming. See what Mrs. Lighty had to say to the NY Daily News below.
68% of Readers (maybe Android users) say Apple's new iPhone 5 is just an ugly phone. They don't feel the phone is appealing to them. Personally I think the phone looks exactly the same with some added size. It doesn't matter what they think I'm pretty sure those same people will be purchasing the iPhone 5
Paul and Rachel Chandler will not let Somali pirates stand in their way of doing what they love. After three years, they are returning to the seas in their same yacht.

Kanye West loves his "perfect b*tch", regardless of her past. As we can't seem to forget, Kim Kardashian shot to fame after a sex tape surfaced of her and singer Ray J many moons ago. Kim hasn't been too ashamed to discuss it in interviews over the years, and apparently, neither is her boyfriend! We reported yesterday the next Cruel Summer single will be "Clique," featuring Kanye, Big Sean and Jay-Z and on it, Ye makes direct reference to the infamous tape. "Eat breakfast at Gucci. My girl a superstar all from a home movie," he raps. Ha! Listen to a snippet TMZ obtained below. Can't wait for the full version!

The Provence region
Surrounding the village are the delightful vineyards, olive groves and lavender fields for which Provence has been renowned through the centuries. Roman remains can be found and in this respect the ancient towns of Vaison La Romaine and Glanum (outside St. Remy de Provence) and the Amphitheatre at Orange are not to be missed.
The elegant historic town of Carpentras, 12 minutes drive away, has chic boutiques, a famous market of local produce, crafts and antiques, an ancient cathedral and synagogue, and many cultural events.
If you want to visit the beach, the classy resort of Cassis is only 90 minutes away, as is the Carmargue resort of Saintes Maries de la Mer. The city of Arles is one hour by car, the ancient port city of Marseille is just over an hour, and Avignon - with its famous Summer festival - can be reached in 40 minutes. Here you should not miss the ancient bridge (made famous in the song), the vast Papal Palace and a river trip up the Rhone.
A couple of days of high culture and history will make your haven of peace in the garden and sunshine of Mormoiron all the more relaxing.
You will find the website about the village of Mormoiron informative.
In the village of Mormoiron are a number of shops and facilities which one would normally need day to day. There is a lively bar, three resaurants, and a good take-away pizza shop. Nearby, at the other end of the village, is a reservoir/lake, with supervised bathing and a large sandy beach with a restaurant and climbing park/adventure playground. Also in the village there is a twice weekly market (Tuesday & Sunday morning) and many cultural events such as concerts, art exhibitions, craft stalls, cinema festival and of course the local wine caves with their opportunities for tasting and purchase.
Nearby are published walking routes for all levels of fitness and ability, cycling, climbing and bird-watching (the garden of Villa Pétrarque attracts at least 20 species of birds and has been designed with ecological ideals).
The neighbouring villages each deserve exploring and hide their particular treasures. Some are extra special from a historical standpoint, such as Venasque or Malaucene, which are only a few kilometres away. Not to be missed are a visit to nearby Mont Ventoux (2000 metres, 6500 feet), the Source of the Vaucluse and the breathtaking Gorge of the Nesque.

"Tranquil villa in great location"
Pretty villa, with lovely garden and great terrace for BBQs. Short walk to the local village where you can find a supermarket, chemist etc. Fab location for day trips around the region. Owner was available for advice etc and her daughter was on-hand to babysit! Would definitely recommend!

"A perfect family holiday home."
Villa Petrarque served as the perfect base for our family holiday. The house & garden provide space & all the extra things to make a holiday special. The pool got plenty of use in the heat of the day. The garden & terrace gave us lots of shady spots to sit. The house was very easy to settle into & we could even watch the Olympics on the BBC! The surrounding area is beautiful with the obvious tourist sights and many less heralded places. Catherine made us most welcome, giving us helpful advice & keeping the garden & pool perfect. You are made to feel like guests and that made a great holiday perfect.

There is a cartoon that has been circulating through social media that seems relevant to today, which is the first day of school in the Golden Triangle.
With southeast Mississippians paying 66 percent more for electricity and Southern Company writing off a billion dollars in losses, it's reasonable to conclude the Kemper lignite plant is not working out well.
Rachel sits on the ground by the road, leaning against the mailbox post. She watches the fire through the windows as it spreads from the sofa to the carpet and begins to crawl up the walls of the living room. Smoke seeps from underneath the closed windows in a slow exhale.
Roughly a half-million kids will descend on roughly 1,100 Mississippi public schools to begin the 2013-14 school year on Wednesday. I suspect it will be a controlled chaos and that most of what is learned Wednesday won't be found on the syllabus.
In Part I Sunday, Rachel awakes in the night to find her home being vandalized, hiding under the bed until the intruders have departed. Her brother, Stephen, urges her to leave for Ohio to live with their mother, leaving behind her meager life as a truck-stop waitress and every-scheming boyfriend, Dale, who is in Hattiesburg talking to some strangers about the dubious prospects of opening a buffalo ranching operation...
Sometimes you get a wild hair. I wish I could say it doesn't happen often, but frankly, it does.
Nine months and 1,100 miles ago, 18-year-old Alexandre Ledwith climbed into his $500 sailboat moored on the banks of the Mississippi at Trempealeau, Wis., and headed downstream.
No it was not the most excruciating thing ever seen on television. We've seen worse. We've seen Roseanne singing the national anthem, Magic Johnson hosting a talk show and Paris Hilton, existing. But if it's not number one on that list of god-awful TV, author Reza Aslan's recent interview with Lauren Green of Fox "News" is surely in the top 10.
As congressional leaders depart the nation's capital for a much-deserved five-week break, it is with a sense of relief and pride in accomplishment: a grand-bargain budget that ends sequestration and makes rational spending cuts, a sane immigration reform package and progress on a cost-cutting health-care plan. Well, a girl can dream, can't she?
Rachel crawls out from under the bed. She takes her robe from the hook on the closet door. She had awakened in the middle of the night and heard the voices outside the house, then heard the back door forced open, and she slipped out of bed and onto the floor, scurrying under like an insect.
This past week my Aunt Marietta McCarter died and it again brought to mind the continued passing of the "Greatest Generation.'
The mayor and city council held their first budget workshop Thursday and while it would be premature to reach any conclusions based on what is essentially a preliminary plan, the discussions do provide some insight into how Mayor Robert Smith and the council view the fiscal health of the city.

Thief of Time: (Discworld Novel 26) - Discworld Novels 26 (CD-Audio)Terry Pratchett, Tony Robinson, Sir Tony Robinson
CD-Audio Published: 04/12/2008
- Not in our warehouse
Time is a resource. Everyone knows it has to be managed. And on the Discworld that is the job of the Monks of History, who store it and pump it from the places where it's wasted (like the underwater - how much time does a codfish need?) to places like cities, where there's never enough time. But the construction of the world's first truly accurate clock starts a race against, well, time for Lu Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd. Because it will stop time. And that will only be the start of everyone's problems. "Thief Of Time" comes complete with a full supporting cast of heroes, villains, yetis, martial artists and Ronnie, the fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse (who left before they became famous).

"Bob says hello," Percy said to the stars.
The Argo II sailed into the night.
Percy chatted with a roman girl and a statue using a rainbow.
Which, for him, was probably the most normal thing he'd done all day.
It wasn't actually as strange as you would think. In just the past week, he had gone to Tartarus, ridden the Elevator of Death, battled with Bob the Titan Janitor, and seen a skinny son of Hades make a giant statue disappear.
"The Athena Parthenos has been returned to your camp safely, Percy." Reyna nodded to her left, where Athena's giant hand was visible. Her slightly curled hair bounced as her head snapped to her left. She frowned.
"What's up Reyna? Talk to me." Percy said loudly.
"Oh, uh, sorry." She glanced behind herself again. "If you want to say hi, just talk to him already!"

She would lie his head in her lap and run a hand through his hair and beard; she would trace the line of his jaw to his cheekbones to the tip of his nose as if tracing stars into constellations.
She taught him the constellations, too, one by one, and he pretended not to notice the way her eyes would occasionally cloud over with yearning, with longing (because, oh, how she wished she could sail along with him having the stars as their only guide!), and she would pretend not to notice how he seemed suddenly weighted down with grief as he remembered her.

I slipped the letter in the package that, besides the letter, contained a seashell tie I bought a few years ago and finally had the nerve to send.
I scrawled on the address and attached a few drachma in a pouch where it disappeared with a "pop!" I wondered how busy Hermes was on Christmas... probably about as busy as a cashier during a sedge.
A knock on the door startled me, and I capped Riptide quickly.

The storm had picked up huge now. It started out as a small thunderstorm but then the wind got stronger and the rain got harder. It began to hail the size of marbles and when lightning struck it lit up everything. Snow blew everywhere outside.
The power had gone out so Annabeth lit a fire in the fireplace to keep us warm and so we could see. It was about 8:00pm in the middle of winter and Josh and Mathew were standing by the window waiting for lighting to strike.
"Josh, Mathew get away from the window," Annabeth told them.
"Awe come on," Mathew complained.

Annabeth tried not to let her voice betray the frantic, panicky energy building up inside her as she searched the camp for the daughter of Aphrodite.
"She was down by the lake last I saw her," a nearby satyr supplied, looking at Annabeth with concern.
She nodded her thanks and dashed off toward the canoe lake, too preoccupied to wonder what he must have thought of her.
Sure enough, there on the beach was Piper along with most of the Aphrodite cabin. Many of the girls were tanning in bikinis or reading gossip magazines, but Piper was lounging under the shade of a pine on top of the dunes, reading a large book Annabeth hadn't seen before. For once in her life, she didn't care about the book.
She stopped in front of her friend, her chest heaving from running, her back to the other girls. "Hey, Piper."
Something in her voice must have tipped Piper off because she looked up quickly and

The blissful smile on his face turned her stomach, although she couldn't help but smile herself. He was happy, smiling genuinely for the first time in days. Annabeth had to grant him that, and as worried as she was at the moment, she allowed herself to be grateful that they were finally out of Tartarus, safe (right now), and together.

Annabeth chose a small café that sat on the other side of the road, it was a cozy place with not many people around, we chose a table and ordered drinks. I knew Annabeth was thinking hard on the next plan of action, jotting down some ideas on a napkin, and ultimately crossing them out and moving to a blank napkin, I think she had gone through seven of them so far. I had my head in my hands, the image of that serpent burning in my mind. I felt so unlike myself, like for the first time I couldn't control the water around me, it was just so strange, it was like when I plunged into the River Styx and feeling the sensation of not being able to breathe under water. I glanced at Nico as he drummed his fingers on the table. I could tell he didn't really want to be there, being a son of Hades; he wasn't really one for public places and having other people looking at him. He kept glancing at the ground under his chair as if he were waiting for it to open and swallow him whole.

He was used to it, after all. How long had he spent within these horrid prison walls? Long enough, that was for damn certain.
The occasional chill as a Dementor glided by, a rattle up his spine. That was the worst: knowing those ghastly demons were near, but not near enough to see. Frightening as they were to witness, not seeing them could be worse.
But there was something different about the lock-up, now. Some little change in the air. Suddenly, he was not so ill-treated. Just barely, but still. He knew it...something was up.

The man, who Odessa guessed was Hercules, went to Atlas. She watched as Atlas went to get the apples while Hercules was stuck in Atlas's place, with the weight of the world literally on his shoulders. When Atlas returned with the golden apples, he told Hercules he would take them to Eurystheus himself, and asked Hercules to stay there and hold the heavy load for the rest of time. Hercules slyly agreed, but asked Atlas whether he could take it back again, just for a moment, while the hero put some soft padding on his shoulders to help him bear the weight of the sky and the earth. Atlas put the apples on the ground, and lifted the burden onto his own shoulders. And so Hercules picked

You cannot look towards the sea

You cannot look towards the earth
And think of it as old home -
For you it's just the ground on your feet
And a place you don't want to roam.

In the past, privacy could be protected by closing a curtain, sealing a record, or simply choosing not to share one's information. But in today's digital environment, more and more of our personal information exists online, available and vulnerable to anyone with prying eyes and access to a computer. This makes individual control over one's personal information a vital and compelling concern for Americans today.
The American Library Association's (ALA) Office for Intellectual Freedom has established Choose Privacy Week, May 1-7, to help libraries work with their communities around these complicated but vital issues. Privacy has long been a cornerstone of library services in America and a freedom that librarians defend every day.
Choose Privacy Week invites library users into a national conversation about privacy rights in a digital age. The campaign gives libraries the tools they need to educate and engage users, and gives individuals the resources to think critically and make more informed choices about their privacy.
"People who understand how personal data is generated, collected, stored and used are better equipped to take control of their personal data and demand accountability from the agencies and corporations that store and use their information," said Barbara Jones, director of the Office for Intellectual Freedom.
Librarians have a long history of protecting the rights of people to read, learn, and be curious, because the freedom to read and receive ideas anonymously is at the heart of individual liberty in a democracy. This makes libraries ideal places for people to think and talk about privacy today.
The Pulaski County Public Library is participating in the fourth annual celebration of Choose Privacy Week, May 1-7, 2013. The Library will provide interested patrons with a "Privacy Toolkit", complete with information regarding digital privacy and a statement on library patron privacy. Patrons who visit the Library to obtain a toolkit will be entered into a drawing for two
tickets to the Melody Drive-In Theater.
For more information on Choose Privacy Week, visit www.chooseprivacyweek.org or contact Pat Ringen at (574) 946-3432.

Uruguay calls for an end to Mercosur 'hollow rhetoric' which undermines jobs
Uruguay's foreign minister Rodolfo Nin Novoa called on Mercosur to overcome hollow rhetoric and advance towards the elimination of barriers which restrict access to other markets and intra-region trade.
Mercosur prepared to consider the possibility of a 'two-speed' system with EU
Paraguay's foreign affairs minister Eladio Loizaga admitted in Madrid that Mercosur could consider the possibility of a two-speed system in trade and cooperation negotiations with the European Union. The minister was the main speaker at the event organized by Casa de America and the Spanish government news agency EFE.
Mercosur main partners' bilateral trade stalled for the last six years
Bilateral trade between Mercosur main partners Argentina and Brazil, has stalled at an annual 30bn dollars during the last six years (2008/2014), with no prospects of a recovery during 2015, according to Finsoport consultants from Buenos Aires.
Uruguay has the lowest corruption perception among Mercosur members
Uruguay enjoys the lowest perception of corruption among Mercosur countries and also a privileged position at global level, according to the country's Transparency and Public Ethics Commission. The ranking was based on data from Transparency International and World Bank for the period extending from 2003 to 2014.
Tax free imported vehicles for residents from Kirchner's Santa Cruz province
Argentine residents from the Patagonian province of Santa Cruz, the Kirchner family political stronghold, will be allowed to buy imported cars free of federal taxes, according to the latest resolution 31/2015, signed by president Cristina Fernandez and published in the official Gazette.
Flexibility to discuss trade accords with third parties, Uruguay demands from Mercosur
Brazil's deteriorating economy and the recession tendency in Argentina, Mercosur main and largest partners, are influencing inter-group trade and the Uruguayan government is pressing for more flexibility that should allow it to negotiate agreements or understandings with third parties.
Uruguay insists Mercosur must achieve a free trade zone which effectively works
Uruguay again complained about the current stalled situation of Mercosur and called for members to 'sincere' themselves regarding the compliance of the original 1991 founding charter, and hopefully we can at least reach the first stage of the chronogram: a free trade zone which effectively works and has not to bear the brunt of hurdles.
Paraguay and Uruguay ministers to discuss recovering paralyzed Mercosur
Following on the lead of Uruguay's new government, Paraguay has also demanded Mercosur returns to its roots and original objective with free circulation of goods and no obstructions of any kind or impediments such as tariff barriers. The five countries group has been paralyzed and negotiations for an encompassing cooperation and trade agreement with the European Union remain stalled.
Uruguay insists with the EU trade accord, even leaving Mercosur aside
Uruguay's president Tabare Vazquez announced that when he meets with Brazil's Dilma Rousseff next month, they will consider as a priority how to get the Mercosur-European Union talks for a trade agreement rolling again.
Mercosur must exhaust efforts to advance in trade talks with EU, insists Uruguay
Mercosur must exhaust efforts with determination to advance in trade negotiations with the European Union, said Uruguay's Deputy foreign minister Jose Luis Cancela confirming the country's commitment with the block, but also demanding 'sincerity' in addressing the challenges and agreeing on an international insertion strategy.

iPad Mini with Retina Display
When Apple's iPad Mini debuted in late 2012, one of its few shortcomings according to critics was the lack of a crystal-clear Retina display like the displays used in newer versions of the iPhone and iPad.
The iPad Mini 2
new iPad Mini with Retina Display (aka the "iPad Mini 2") was announced by Apple on October 22, 2013, as an updated and upgraded version of the original iPad Mini. The iPad Mini with Retina Display increases the resolution from the original's 1024x768 to a resolution of 2048x1536, for a pixel density of 324ppi (pixels-per-inch) on a 7.9" display. For comparison, the display in the iPhone 5 delivers 326 pixels-per-inch.
The iPad Mini with Retina Display is currently scheduled to become available for purchase in November 2013. The iPad Mini with Retina Display will also include a 64-bit A7 processor to help handle the increased resolution and iOS 7 as its mobile operating system. Pricing for the new iPad Mini starts at $399, a sum that is $70 higher than the starting price for the previous generation iPad Mini.
The iPad Mini 3
One year later, in October 2014, Apple announced the iPad Mini 3 with new features that include Touch ID Home button and a new gold color option. Pricing starts at $399 for the 16 GB Wi-Fi version. The 64 GB and 128 GB variations are priced at $499 and $599 respectively.

After sidestepping the issue for weeks, President Obama on Thursday apologized to Americans who are losing their health insurance despite his repeated and emphatic promises that it wouldn't happen.
The president made the admission on a day when Senate Republicans demanded that he fire his top health official in response to "undeniable" problems with Obamacare's rollout and his White House fends off doubts that it can fix a balky website that is spoiling the health care law's debut.
"I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me," the president told NBC in an interview recorded at the White House on Thursday afternoon. "We've got to work hard to make sure that they know we hear them and we're going to do everything we can to deal with folks who find themselves in a tough position as a consequence of this."
SEE ALSO: Sebelius hits the road to defend Obamacare
Mr. Obama's comments represent something of an about-face for the administration, which until now had argued that Americans were aware all along — or should have been aware — that Obamacare would result in many people losing policies because they don't comply with the law's standards.
About 5 percent of Americans — 14 million people — have plans through the individual insurance market. As many as two-thirds of them could lose coverage because it does not comply with the president's signature health care law. The situation has led to a backlash on Capitol Hill, with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle backing bills that would allow consumers to keep their coverage no matter what.
Some senators went further Thursday. Sen. Pat Roberts, Kansas Republican, and nine other lawmakers signed a letter that calls for Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to lose her job over problems with the Affordable Care Act.
SEE ALSO: Fire her! Ten Republican senators press Obama to boot Sebelius
"Regrettably, these problems were diagnosed early and ignored," the senators wrote, citing inspector general reports from this year.
Compounding the turmoil, a bipartisan pair of senators followed through on a proposal to postpone the law's individual mandate for one year in light of the roadblocks to coverage.
The mandate, which requires most Americans to have health insurance next year, was placed in the law to ensure that young, healthy consumers keep premiums in check when those with pre-existing conditions enroll because they no longer can be denied coverage.
"Since the Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, there have been many identifiable problems exposed in the law that need to be addressed," Sen. Joe Manchin III, West Virginia Democrat, said in filing the bill with Sen. Mark Kirk, Illinois Republican.
"We've worked through a few of these issues, but our job in Congress is far from over. We need to start working together to fix this law and make it work so that all Americans have access to affordable and reliable health care coverage," the two men said.
The rising discontent on Capitol Hill and Mr. Obama's apology capped a week when the president was massaging earlier statements by adding an "if" to his promise, offered more than 30 times over the past several years, that "if you like your plan, you can keep your plan."
"If you had one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law and you really liked that plan, what we said was, 'You can keep it if it hasn't changed since the law passed,'" Mr. Obama said earlier in the week.
No previous public statements contained the caveat that plans must remain unchanged, but they often were spiked with such emphatics as "period" and "no matter what." The Politifact fact-checking journalism site gave Mr. Obama's statements a "Pants on Fire" rating.
Senate Democrats, several of whom face tough re-election battles next year in Republican-leaning states, are increasingly nervous about the rocky rollout of the law. The Affordable Care Act essentially belongs to their party because they passed it with no Republican votes in Congress, cheered it on for three years and helped precipitate a partial government shutdown last month by refusing Republican demands for a delay.
So far, none of them has called for Mrs. Sebelius to lose her job over the situation. Republicans have not been so shy.
Mr. Roberts — who knows Mrs. Sebelius personally from their shared home state of Kansas — and co-signers of his letter outlined a litany of problems with HealthCare.gov, a website that was supposed to connect residents of 36 states with health plans on the individual market but has frequently crashed since its Oct. 1 debut.
The online portal has struggled to transmit accurate reports to insurers, and doubts about the site's technical safeguards have persisted despite the Obama administration's pledge that the system is secure.
Mr. Obama has offered no indication he will oust Mrs. Sebelius. Instead, the administration says it is focused on making HealthCare.gov work for the "vast majority" of users by the end of the month.
Mrs. Sebelius, who said she is accountable for Obamacare's rollout failures but refused to resign, will travel to Atlanta on Friday to promote Obamacare and meet with in-person assistants who are helping people enroll in health coverage. Her trip follows Mr. Obama's jaunt to Texas on Wednesday to urge reluctant state officials to expand Medicaid enrollment to people making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level.
Mrs. Sebelius is coming off a pair of bruising hearings on Capitol Hill, where she doubled down on the importance of the health care law for sick Americans who may gain insurance for the first time.
But Republican lawmakers say the reforms are fundamentally flawed. Millions of Americans are losing health care plans that do not meet minimum-coverage standards under Obamacare, and they cannot explore alternatives if the online portals are not working.
These customers might be able to find better coverage at a better price under Obamacare's exchanges, which offer income-based subsidies to defray premium costs, but they would have to sign up by Dec. 15 to have coverage before next year.
"These people could be left without any insurance at all if the exchange systems are not working soon," Mr. Roberts and fellow lawmakers wrote.
Julie Bataille, spokeswoman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, said Thursday she thinks the website will run well enough by late this month to give consumers enough time to enroll. She also downplayed talk of extending Obamacare's six-month enrollment period past March 31.
"That is certainly a long window of time for individuals to get information, get educated and make their plan selection by the end of March," she told reporters on a conference call.
CMS has until the end of business Friday to respond to a subpoena from House Ways and Means Committee Republicans that demands figures on how many people have enrolled so far under Obamacare, but the administration has said repeatedly that it will not release the data until "mid-November."
A committee spokeswoman said Chairman Dave Camp, Michigan Republican, had not received anything as of Thursday afternoon.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said the subpoena appeared to be a political ploy designed to twist the knife over dismal enrollment.
"If the purpose is to point out, which I'm sure it is, that enrollment numbers will be low for October — take it from me, they'll be low in October," he said.

I have been working at PPC full-time
A very good work environment. It is very busy and the staff is concerned about providing quality customer service to the general public.
The management should provide the staff with more training and communicate more.
