He feeds himself with a spoon but still requires some assistance with dressing. He plays with toys and enjoys music time, but prefers to play alone instead of with the other children.

He attends school in the local village. He's in a special education class. He is not interested in most school activities, though he does enjoy music time.
Adam is currently living in a group home. He walks independently and goes up and down stairs, but is very careful and always seeks support before acting. He electively carries out orders and doesn't react to his name. He plays for a short time and doesn't seek contact with the children from the group.

NEW PICS OF DYLAN! Lots more available, please inquire. He can be adopted with Harley, if a family is approved and interested!
This handsome little guy has eyes that cross, so an opthamologist visit will be in order when he gets home. He's looks pretty small for his age! Doesn't he look like he needs a Mama to scoop him up & snuggle?
Update June 2013: Dylan is an energetic, smart, and goofy little boy. Physically, he looks about 5 or 6 years old, but has the attitude of a teenager. He can be extremely aggressive – he shoved other children out of the way when I was holding them to try and get to me and hits other children. I can't tell you how many times he headbutted me in the face. But he can also be very loving – one of the other missionaries was crying and he just sat in her lap and hugged her until she stopped. Dylan is also very smart. When he wanted to go outside, I told him he had to have shoes on…I didn't expect him to go bring his shoes to me! He also has an extensive vocabulary and loves his Montessori classes at the orphanage.
Update March 2014:
Dylan has a lot of personality! Dylan would do well in a family with older children, especially teen boys that love to roughhouse and wrestle! He's quite the clown, and extremely verbal and capable. As someone mentioned before, he is also rather aggressive in getting what he wants, not only because he seems oblivious to personal space, but also because he will not hesitate to grab what he wants and assert his strength over weaker ones. He's 11, and is strong, stands about the height of a typical 9-10 year old. He also seems to have a mischievous streak and is very impulsive, which can result in him pinching people unprovoked. Although he has a lot of potential, he definitely needs the right environment and very patient and experienced parents in order to thrive.

Boy, born January 2002
DS, atrial septal defect, polydactyly of the left hand
From a volunteer who met him in November 2014: "Artemur really needs to get out. Artemur is probably the strongest and one of the biggest children in his group, eventhough he's only the size of a preschooler. The nurse who knew how to handle this group, an Artemur, isn't there anymore. Artemurs behavior has gone worse. He bullies other children and he hits them. He doesn't listen when nurses try to correct him. But as soon as he gets the positive attention of an adult he totally changes, he starts smiling and behaving very sweet. He is desperate for love and attention. They allowed us to take him (and some other stronger children) for a walk and that makes him so excited. He runs around and he want to explore everything there is to see. It's a very eager boy. He just needs someone to teach him how to interact with other children. I think he would do best in a family with no younger (or at least smaller) children. Artemur is potty trained. When the nurses ask him to help bring the toys inside or push a wheel chair he will help. He knows how to react on verbal instructions. He has some language, but his language isn't very clear. I have never seen him communicate about his needs with the nurses."
Artemur is a handsome boy who has already been waiting far too long for a family of his own!
Large families welcome, multiple children may be adopted together from the same orphanage. Elinor, Devora, Isolde, Julia, Sullivan, Artemur, Duane, Abner and Irina may all be in the same region.
From someone who met Artemur in 2012: Artemur is a ladies man 😉 He loves to greet visitors with a formal "Hello", a chair for the visitor to sit on, and for the ladies he'll kiss their hands and sometimes request a kiss by pointing to his cheek. He has ten toes and ten fingers, and appears healthy. He is one of the two highest functioning boys in his group and is a big helper. He is quite verbal, and he has good self-care skills, he is able to feed himself and ask to use the restroom. He likes to play with etch a sketches, toy phones, and bubbles. Artemur would probably do better in a family environment where he can be the youngest in the family.
Update January 2012: Cullen is in 4th grade this year. He knows the names of all the children in his class and has a best friend. He pronounces short words and simple sentences. He can repeat numbers and counts to 5 with help. He is very musical and loves to dance.

Fabio is a smart young man and knows many animals, letters, words, phrases, counting.

Active and joyful and as most boys – he likes cars and playing with them. Is able to move up and down the stairs, eats self-dependently, though has self-care difficulties (still working on toileting), likes long walks in fresh air but is able to do them only with holding on one's hand.

Older parents, large families, and single moms welcome. Great program!
Boy, born September 2002
Down syndrome, specific mixed developmental disorder and aphasia (Language disorder)
Mikel is not speaking, but follows directions. In 2004, he had surgery for cataracts, and glasses assigned for permanent wearing. The report indicates that the boy is not getting involved in any activities and performs the stereotypic movements. Mikel was never visited by his parents and has no contact with relatives.
Mikel goes to the special school in town. Mikel is not receiving any neurological medication. His sleep during the night is good (calm), but he needs to wear diapers. Mikel needs an ongoing supervision by an adult. His eye contact is short, is concentrating his attention to the sounds and visual signals. Has good understanding of the adult's speech, implements instructions, but he is not speaking by himself. He is able to eat without help, to dress up and undress, to wash his hands, brush his teeth, but still his hygienic skill are not yet developed in full: he takes the action only when is reminded and is helped by the staff member. His eating is good and likes different food. His interest in the environment is weak, he feels secure in the environment he is familiar with with persons he knows. He likes to be together with other children in a family group setting, listen to music, but due to his slow motion he is not getting involved into the group activities. His favorite activity is to play with balloons and ball; he throws them up in the air.

Aaric likes participating in group activities but also enjoys receiving individual attention. He loves one-to-one interactions and activities. He does not speak, but uses different sounds to express himself. He is very affectionate and easily forms loving relationships with the staff members.
Andrue was raised by his birth family until he was 9 months old. At that time, he was hospitalized for genetic testing and when the diagnosis of Down syndrome was confirmed, he was left at the hospital. He was then transferred to an orphanage and later on, to an institution for children with mental disabilities, which is his current home. He walks, climbs and catches a ball. He likes to play with stuffed animals and has one favorite stuffed animal that he carries around with him. He reacts to his name and follows simple directions. He pronounces some syllables and attempts to communicate, but his speech is not yet developed. He smiles when spoken to and enjoys cuddling with familiar adults.
Samuel has Down syndrome, an undescended testicle & flat feet. He also has a functional heart murmur that does not require therapy. He is integrated in a room with healthy children. He walks independently. He can drink out of a cup but still requires assistance with feeding. He carries our simple verbal instructions. He seeks out the company of adults. His development is delayed in all areas.
Additional photos and videos from March 2014 are available from the agency.

He is attending a day program for children with special needs where he is receiving basic academic instruction and therapy. He is working on becoming more independent with life skills. He is not currently talking, but he is able to express his wants and needs using gestures and nonverbal communication. His foster mother is encouraging him to vocalize more and make sounds so that he can learn to say words. He enjoys playing with other children and is not aggressive. He responds to verbal directions. He lives in the foster home with one other child and they are good friends. When he's at the playground, he seeks out older children to play with. His foster mother reports that he enjoys eating sandwiches and drinking sweet tea.

Michael says "HI MOM, do you see me? I'm waiting for you!" Michael is a handsome, happy, and active little boy! He has been blessed to be very loved and well taken care of! But here he is waving to his new mama, wherever she may be! FULL MEDICAL and SOCIAL RECORDS available. Michael is described as very loving and affectionate. He is well adjusted and attached to his caregivers. He is very active and physically capable…a typical boy! He receives therapy regularly and continues to work on his speech. Please consider Michael! His adoption will open doors for so many more children in this wonderful, but small, program!
From his caregivers: Michael attends a school for children with special needs. He has been in the orphanage since he was 2 1/2 years old. Michael is very affectionate and has achieved a certain level of independence. He demonstrates an ability to adapt quickly in various situations and has great capacity to give and receive affection. He is working on improving his pronunciation.
Update Feb 2012: (further records available on development)
He is a child with fast adaptation to new situations, however when he gets confidence and trust to somebody, he has demanding and resistant behavior when somebody don't do what he wants. The lack of an appropriate way to express his ideas, emotions and thoughts, generates emotions like sadness and frustration; this usually can be manifested in situations who are demanding.
Michael is a happy child, likes to show his affection, affectionate and with big desires of attention. His social development corresponds to mild retardation. In self-reliance activities his performance is independent, for which he only requires slight supervision. In activities which involve expressive and written language he still requires support.
Michael's country is *beautiful* to visit, and is rich in culture and history. Amazing trip no matter what time of year!

UPDATE NOVEMBER 2014! From one of our adoptive families who visited with him: "The institution he is living in has undergone a lot of changes in the last year after a new director was appointed. The building has been remodeled so that the children now live in family style groups with multiple bedrooms for two children each, a living room, small kitchen, dining room, two bathrooms, laundry room and a visiting area. During free time the children move around between the rooms as they please and we have seen the children in Andruis' group helping with some of the daily living tasks – clearing dishes, vacuuming, assisting children who cannot feed themselves and so on. Andruis is in a group with seven other children of varying ages and special needs. He is a very quiet, peaceful, gentle boy. He prefers to play with dolls and stuffed animals and he generally keeps his distance from the loudest and most active children. We watched him sit with a much smaller, weaker child who crawled on Andruis and stroked his hair for a solid half an hour and Andruis was not at all defensive or rough with the littler boy. His caregivers say that he does not speak, but hears and understands what is said to him. He can dress and use the bathroom with minimal assistance. He has had trouble with his teeth since being transferred to the institution and eats only soft foods, but he feeds himself neatly and clears his own dishes when he is finished. He is shy and new people in his environment cause him to withdraw a bit, but I saw him snuggle up to and smile at a familiar caregiver and he interacts appropriately with the other children in the group. He attends a nearby school for children with special needs and participates in many therapies and activities. If he is not adopted he will remain at the same institution for the rest of his life, moving from the children's to the adult's wing when he turns 21. The director is very interested in seeing children adopted, but a bit incredulous that anyone would want them. Our daughter is the first child ever to be adopted, domestically or internationally, from this institution. It would be wonderful if Andruis could be the second!"
Thank God for a new photo and updated info about Andruis! He is a New Year's Eve baby, so he brings the promise of great things in every new year! Andruis has some hearing loss and wears hearing aids. He continuously receives speech and music therapy. As you can see from his photo, he is doing well, but desperately needs a family as he has been living at the institution since 2007. Andruis attends the 5th grade at the special needs school. He is able to walk/run and is active. He smiles and is affectionate, but shy around people he doesn't know. He does not have much speech at all, but so much of this is due to his poor hearing. Imagine how is world could open up with improved hearing aids! His entire world, everything he processes, is delayed due to hearing impairment….signing may be the key to opening his whole world. He is able to eat on his own. He needs help with self-care/hygiene. Andruis has SO much potential in a loving family. He's been waiting SO long and has lost so much time when he should have been at home!
From his medical records: born premature at 35 weeks, 4th pregnancy. Down syndrome, cognitively delayed, cochlear neuritis – hearing impairment. Atopic dermatitis. Hypermetropia on both eyes. FULL MEDICAL RECORDS available upfront.
This is a GREAT country program, with excellent health and social care, and full medical records available upfront. Andruis has been listed with us for many years, it's his turn to find a family! Interested families should be home study approved (or close to it) to adopt an older institutionalized child and should not have very young children in the home.
Experienced adoptive families may be the best fit for Andruis. Please inquire! He is running out of time.
- Married couples only (married at least 2 1/2 years)
- Parents must be 18 years older than child; no more than 50 years old
- Two unrelated children can be adopted together
- Two trips are required
Boy, Born June 2001
Down syndrome
Handsome Fritz is already 13 years old. He has blonde hair and hazel eyes. Fritz is blessed to live in a nice orphanage, but he needs a family of his own. He is considered lower functioning, and really needs a family who is experienced with adopting older children.
Fritz may struggle with some sensory or ASD challenges….he is very responsive but needs a lot of self-help and guidance from parents/caregivers. He would probably do best in a family where he can get lots of attention from his parents and older typical siblings….be the focus of the family!
Wonderful program, outstanding agency partner…older parents, large families, and single moms welcome. More photos and medical info available.

So glad to have a new photo of Duane! He's making silly faces for you.
From a volunteer who visited with him in July 2014: " Duane is a wonderful boy, but he doesn't get the attention he deserves. It is getting harder to interact with him. He responds less and less when you try to interact with him. Even when you are interacting with him, he loses interest and he will lay on the floor again.
He is best friends with Isolde, but she has been put in a different group now. Nobody ever puts them together, so that's what we did this summer. The nurses first wouldn't let us, but we explained that they are best friends and then it was okay. They hugged for minutes, until he was getting weaker (his legs aren't really strong) and he lay down on the floor again. Isolde tried to get him to hug some more or to play a game through the bars from the playpen, but he didn't react anymore. I'm afraid that next year he'll be worse again. He needs to get out. Duane has some language, but is mainly non-verbal. He shows no aggressive behaviors, but as said, he is getting weaker, he is showing less and less behaviors at all. Someone needs to go and get him out of there."
From someone who met Duane in 2012: Sweet little Duane is the huggiest boy I've ever met! He is a determined, strong willed little guy and is up walking and chasing after balls despite some mild CP on his left side that causes his left knee to extend backwards in a painful looking manner. He has an amazing laugh, though it is sometimes a mischievous laugh. He sometimes feels the need to push boundaries, such as throwing balls at the other children, but he is a boy with a lot of love to give, both to the adults and the other kids in his group. He also sometimes gives massages. I feel he would especially thrive in a house where he is the youngest, or at least the smallest child in the home.
Significant features of FAS, shared as a cautionary disclosure for families considering his needs.
Duane's best friend is Isolde; they could be adopted together. Elinor, Devora, Isolde, Julia, Sullivan, Artemur, Duane, Abner and Irina may all be in the same region.

text: New Englanders know that generous quantities of cream and fresh clams are key to the best chowders. Hancock Gourmet's recipe delivers on both fronts: it's packed with tender Maine clams and potatoes and smoothed out with butter, cream and a spike of Worcestershire sauce. The chowder includes two in-shell whole clams for classic presentation. Gently heat the soup and serve with oyster crackers or a warm baguette for a wonderful New England-inspired dinner.

I love orange. Let me clarify – I love the color orange. The fruit? Not so much. (I know, I'm in the minority here.) But just because I love the bold hue doesn't mean I'm going to buy a million orange shirts. Why? Because like a well-balanced diet, a well-balanced wardrobe – in terms of color – is important. Just ask the fashion editors at Esquire.
They've broken down the amount of colors, by percentage, that we should all have in our closets. So next time, when that seventh bright red shirt screams "buy me," you'll remember red should only account for 2% of your wardrobe. Meaning, you should probably skip it and head over to the neutrals section.

May 3, 2016
The next big issue in the national debate over guns is whether people have a right to be armed in public. And it's moving closer to Supreme Court review.
A provocative ruling by a panel of federal appeals court judges in Chicago struck down the last statewide ban on carrying concealed weapons, in Illinois.
The ruling is somewhat at odds with those of other federal courts that have largely upheld state and local gun laws, including restrictions on concealed weapons, since the Supreme Court's landmark ruling declaring that people have a right to have a gun for self-defense.
In 2008 the high court voted 5-4 to strike down Washington, D.C.'s ban on handgun ownership and focused mainly on the right to defend one's home.

Black lace by Dana...Never heard of or seen this one before. It's a light,citrus & kind of a shower fresh scent,not overpowering in the least. Great for those with serious allergies,sinus headaches,whatever ails you sensitive ones out there. I use it in my hair by the way.
Written by Anonymous on October 10, 2015
I usually don't wear perfume to work because of the 'no scent' policy in the workplace and a rather cranky boss if I might add,but after using black lace by Dana,it just made my day a little brighter. Some of my co-workers love the fresh woodsy smell and surprisingly,my boss became a much nicer person around me!! Whatever your profession,make black lace your go-to fragrance.
Written by HotMama on January 15, 2015
Black lace by Dana is a very soft & subtle fragrance that is perfect for everyday wear. Use it for church,work,running errands or even for bed. Too light for evening or romantic wear. Just my opinion.
Written by Cutie Patootie on December 28, 2014
I use Black lace by Dana mainly for church or work and even though I don't smell it,others do. It even mixes well with any unscented body lotion too,and for special occasions,I use my Bill Blass fragrance.

After defeating Skyla and earning the Jet Badge, Ash and Co. head out to Icirrus City. Along the way, they reunite with their old friend Stephan who happens to be entering a contest called the "Wishing Bell Festival". This festival is about going through series of obstacle courses along the way until the final event, one of them will win and get to ring the bell at the top of Celestial Tower and make a wish. As Ash and co. arrive at the festival, they soon find out that the contest is run by Mile, the previous Gym Leader and Skyla's grandfather. Of course what Stephan says its true it did happen to be an obstacle course with many challenges as trainers pair up with their Pokémon. Who will win this towering race? The event of the "Wishing Bell Festival" begins now!
- There was a cosplaying portion of the contest where the characters and pokemons dressed up as other characters and Pokémon:
- Ash was Alder and Pikachu was Bouffalant.
- Iris was Professor Juniper and Axew was Darumaka.
- Stephan was Nurse Joy and Sawk was Audino.
- Ricky was Officer Jenny and Elgyem was Herdier.
- Cilan was Elesa and Pansage was Emolga.
- An article of clothing similar to Brock's vest made it's way into the clothes pile, probably as a tribute to Brock.
- A Dawn hat & wig was in the clothes pile along with Team Rocket clothing. It was probably just a coincidence or a signal that Dawn is coming to the Best Wishes Series.
- This is the second time Ash looked up Sawk on the Pokedex since its been a long time since he's with Stephan. The first is BW043: The Club Battle Hearts of Fury, Emolga Versus Sawk! when his Sawk was battling against Iris' Emolga in the tournament in Nimbasa Town.
- "Who's that Pokemon?" Sawk (US)
- This is the second time Ash looked up Elgyem on the Pokedex. First was BW033: A UFO for Elgyem! when one Elgyem is with a scientist name Professor Icarus.
- Its a good thing that Pikachu didn't even touch that Thunderstone just once when Ash warned him not too. If Ash's Pikachu just touch that Thunderstone, he would've evolved into Raichu in front of everyone's eyes including his friends. The Thunderstone just first appeared in IL014: Electric Shock Showdown when his Pikachu wanted to remain the way he is in order to beat Lt. Surge's Raichu with speed instead of power.
- It could be said that Stephan somewhat cheated when his Litwick blew out Ash's. This is also somewhat ironic because the competition came down to a race and Ash probably would've won because he is clearly in much better physical shape than Stephan is.
- They should've known better to double check those candles out if there's any real Litwick sneaking in the competition before handing them out in the final event.
- Sometimes characters would get Stephan's name wrong. Although Iris gets his name right once.

Cherie is a character in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and resident of Liberty City who works as a prostitute. She meets Huang Lee in 2009 and mistakenly believes he is coming on to her. After lashing out at Huang, she and ten fellow prostitutes begin to attack him. The player can choose to escape their attack or kill them.
This random encounter comically refers to the popular notion and controversy that most people pin on the Grand Theft Auto series: paying hookers for their services and then killing them to get your money back. Cherie states during the encounter; "Losers like you pay us working girls for a ride, then unload your guns in our faces just to get your filthy money back!"

Soccer Mom Madam Confession
More than 16 million kids in the United States are at risk for hunger each day. Fortunately, you can help. Visit Feeding America to find your local food bank. And, help Dr. Phil raise enough money for 10 million meals. Donate today!
Coming Clean
When the woman dubbed the "New York Soccer Mom Madam," Anna Gristina, sat down with Dr. Phil in September 2012, she denied accusations of running a multimillion dollar prostitution empire and claimed she had been wrongly targeted by investigators who were "out to get her."
Three weeks later, Anna shockingly pleaded guilty to one count of promoting prostitution. "Is it true that you arranged through text, phone or e-mail ... a sexual encounter between a man and two prostitutes which you employed?" a judge asked her. "Yes, sir," Anna answered.
Anna says she took the plea deal to protect certain people close to her who had enemies in the district attorney's office — and because in the eyes of the law, she says she did promote prostitution. She maintains that she doesn't believe she is guilty. "I was collateral damage," she says.
Anna walked free with time served, but still faces potential deportation to her native Scotland.
Now, Anna says she's ready to come clean with the details of her business to Dr. Phil. Does she believe her venture crossed the line into prostitution? Plus, hear how she says her simple matchmaking company flourished into a global business with a roster of wealthy and prominent clientele, allegedly including professional football players and management. And, will she name names?
Anna and her attorney, Norm, address allegations that Anna arranged sex between an undercover cop and two prostitutes. "That man paid to play." Then, what does Anna say her business consisted of?
Dr. Phil asks Anna why she still maintains her innocence after admitting her guilt in court, under oath when she took a plea deal. "You can't say yes then and no now. There are not versions of the truth."
Will Anna admit that women whom she employed had sex for money? Plus, when does she say her matchmaking company turned into something more? "They wanted to test drive."
"A guy says, 'I'm coming in for the weekend.' And you say, 'I have a girl for $2,000 who will spend the night with you at the hotel,' and you rake off a percentage — that's pimping!"
Anna answers questions about the apartment she rented. "Is this where you had the peep show for the undercover cop?" And, Anna opens up about her "database" of girls.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKAWBNl4MeA Awesome drummer though, ad8! Nice mohawk.
Anyways, great podcast, great music, interesting all the way through. It's totally awesome that Noodles and Dexter (and Greg K.) actually participates on something like this! Really great, really appreciating the fans.
And oooh, what a joke! What a SILENCE!! Hahah, geez I laughed my ass off. At that exact moment; I do feel sorry for you guys, but you should really be honoured. I mean, you guys just got PUNK'D by Noodles! Haha what a joke. Too cool, Noodles, too cool :)
Ståle / Norway / (time to get back)
joined 03-29-2008 with the account manic subsida.
Great podcast! Congratulations to all involved!
And thank you The Offspring! That's one of the reasons why I love this band: they care about the fans.
* Recife is not that dangerous, guys. I was on 2004 concert in Recife. The place was really full and structure of the venue was not very good, but you can return. Before The Offspring played here, there was few international shows, like Silverchair, Scorpions, Faith No More, for example.
But, in the last years, there was many bands that came to Recife: Iron Maiden (2 times), Evanescence, Paul McCartney (2 times), Deep Purple, Scorpions (3 times), Misfits, Placebo, Motorhead... This year, Dead Kennedys will play here too... Please, come back to Recife.
I still have the beer that Noodles throw in the public:

2013, September 15 - Credicard Hall - Sao Paulo, Brazil
2014, February 05, Chevrolet Hall - Belo Horizonte, Brazil
Hahahaha awsome!
There's no video for turning into you? I thought that they filmed it all already? I remember that i asked the company on facebook that shot the video if offspring was in it. This is what they told me. "Hey Nicklas, the band is not in this video at all. The record label commissioned Fallout Entertainment to write this story and cast actors. I believe the treatment was submitted on Wednesday, then we shot it that Saturday (due to the fact that the tomato fight is a once a year event)." So what now? There's no video?
hahahahaha great joke Dexter and Noodles! It was hilarious!!!
that was a great podcast enjoyed it guys nice one.
Did anybody notice that the last The Big Bang Theory episode makes a reference to Bakersfield and then giggled because of "the cultural aspect of it" mentioned on the last BBS Podcast?

To celebrate the release of GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, our friends at Activision have given us an Xbox 360, 10 official GoldenEye 007: Reloaded t-shirts, 10 cocktail shakers and 10 copies of the game on Xbox 360 to give away.

GoldenEye 007: Reloaded will hit the shelves from 4 November and is available on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
The Xbox 360 on offer is a 4GB version, and the overall winner will win the console, a copy of the game, a t-shirt and a cocktail shaker. The next 9 to be drawn after the closing time and date of 11:11am on Friday 11 November 2011 (11:11 11/11/11 - see what we did there?) will each win the game, t-shirt and cocktail shaker.

"Tough titties then!"
Or something like that...
This competition is now closed.

- Bank exec sentenced in Colorado bank failure
- Feb 5:
- New Frontier Bank executive pleads guilty to making improper loans
- Dec 11:
- Feds charge former New Frontier Bank executive with fraud
- Mar 2:
- Another $220 million in New Frontier loans on the auction block
Federal and state lawmakers pledged Thursday to pursue inquiries and possible legislation addressing weaknesses in community-bank regulation documented this week by a Denver Post investigative series.
In addition, U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., released a statement urging the U.S. Justice Department to investigate potential fraud at New Frontier Bank outlined in the stories.
"I urge the Department of Justice to investigate these serious allegations thoroughly and expeditiously," said Bennet, a member of the Senate Banking Committee. "In the meantime, as the Senate begins its work to reform our financial system, we need to look for ways to fill the gaps in our current regulatory structure."
The $1 billion failure of New Frontier Bank, Bennet said, "devastated too many farmers and small-business owners across Colorado."
U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Colo., will explore whether he can amend recent Wall Street reform legislation approved by the House of Representatives to address additional regulatory gaps exposed by the bank's failure, his office said.
"We'll be looking at this as we continue on with our financial-reform efforts with Wall Street and now the community banks," said Leslie Oliver, Perlmutter's spokeswoman. "They are tied together in some ways. The community banks weren't the ones that led to the financial collapse, but by the same token, regulators need to make sure banks are doing what they're supposed to do. There could be some places in the Wall Street reform bill where we can close some gaps, close some holes and tighten rules up."
The Post series, citing records and interviews with New Frontier Bank insiders and former bank examiners, found that federal and state regulators missed or failed to take serious action to address insider dealing, efforts to hide loan losses prior to inspections, and apparent stock-for-loan transactions, among other problems.
The stories also detailed a persistent shortage of regulators to oversee bank assets as well as state policies that allow the destruction of bank inspectors' working papers and notes, documentation that can serve as potential evidence in bank-fraud investigations.
State Rep. Joe Rice, D-Littleton, chairman of the House Business Affairs and Labor Committee overseeing the Colorado Division of Banking, said the panel will investigate several of the issues.
"Clearly the articles identified a lot of questions that need to be looked into," Rice said. "Such as, why don't we retain documents (on bank inspections), and why do we give banks 30 days' notice" before an inspection?
Officials with Gov. Bill Ritter's office declined to say whether they would pursue regulatory changes, saying it was too early.
"The failure of New Frontier was caused not by anything the Ritter administration did or didn't do," according to a statement. "It was caused by a flawed business model, risky decisions made by the bank itself and a down-turned economy."
Ritter, who took office in 2007, sought to boost the number of bank inspectors, receiving approval from the legislature to add six new positions starting in July 2009. The positions have yet to be filled because "in this highly specialized field, good candidates earn more money with the federal government and private sector," according to the statement.
Perlmutter's spokeswoman said he was shocked that the Colorado Division of Banking regulators routinely destroy their working papers and notes — including transcripts of banks' board-of-director meetings — after bank inspections.
Many states, such as Wyoming, preserve such documentation, knowing it can aid future reviews and fraud investigations.
Justice Department officials, who are investigating New Frontier Bank officials for criminal wrongdoing, declined to comment on Bennet's request for a probe into The Post's findings.

Destination guide: Auckland, New Zealand
Auckland is one of the most important ports in New Zealand (Oceania) and one of the cities with the greatest amount of business and tourist activity in the country. It is found in the middle of an isthmus of volcanic origin and has a stable climate with an average annual temperature of 23°C, making it ideal to visit at any time of year.
Among Auckland's main tourist attractions are the Sky Tower or "Skywalk", a financial complex you can bungee jump from, Butterfly Creek, the Howick Villa that recreates the Maori way of life, Kawau Island, Otara Market where you can witness Auckland's ethnic and cultural mix and the Botanical and Eden Gardens, as well as many other places of interest.
Paris may be the city of love, but Auckland is the city of many lovers, according to its Maori name, Tamaki Makaurau. In fact, her lovers so desired this beautiful place that they fought over her for centuries.
It's hard to imagine a more geographically blessed city. Its two magnificent harbours frame a narrow isthmus punctuated by volcanic cones and surrounded by fertile farmland. From any of its numerous vantage points you'll be astounded at how close the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean come to kissing and forming a new island.
As a result, water's never far away – whether it's the ruggedly beautiful west-coast surf beaches or the glistening Hauraki Gulf with its myriad islands. The 135,000 pleasure crafts filling Auckland's marinas have lent the city its most durable nickname: the 'City of Sails'.
Within an hour's drive from the high-rise heart of the city are dense tracts of rainforest, thermal springs, deserted beaches, wineries and wildlife reserves. Yet big-city comforts have spread to all corners of the Auckland Region: a decent coffee or chardonnay is usually close at hand.
Yet the rest of the country loves to hate it, tut-tutting about its traffic snarls and the supposed self-obsession of the quarter of the country's population that call it home. With its many riches, Auckland can justifiably respond to its detractors, 'Don't hate me because I'm beautiful'.

Thompson Square Concert Tickets
Husband-wife duo Thompson Square have broken into the country scene in a big way. Their first two singles, Let's Fight and Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not both charted and the latter was nominated for two Country Music Television awards. Not bad for the band's first album.
The husband and wife in question, Keifer and Shawna Thompson, met in (where else) Nashville, Tennessee. Keifer had come from Oklahoma and Shawna from Alabama and they met during their first week in the music capital. Fifteen years after getting by as a wait staff and struggling in other creative industries the couple hit as Thompson Square.
Their debut album was produced by members of Jason Aldean's backing band who do double duty on the album as house band for Thompson Square. With friends like these and early breakout hits, it won't be long before Thompson Square tickets and Thompson Square tour dates are selling out.
