Iowa Network Seeks New Funds Transfer Rules
Piskora, Beth, American Banker
Going against the prevailing political winds, an Iowa-based funds transfer network is calling for new regulations to govern electronic benefits transfer programs.
Officials of the Shazam network went to Washington this week to lobby for three proposals that it claims are needed to promote the delivery of welfare payments, food stamps, and other government benefits through automated teller machines and point of sale terminals.
Shazam stands alone in seeking the legislation, and it has not yet found a sponsor in Congress.
But the network's leaders are undaunted in their belief that federal laws can bring order to an increasingly crowded and confusing field of transaction processing companies, financial institutions, and state-by state variations in the contracting and procurement process.
"We support nationwide EBT, but we are concerned that we are putting way too much power in the hands of just a few government- designated issuers who are now in the position to monopolize EBT and exclude other players who are otherwise active in the (electronic funds transfer) world," said Dale A. Dooley, chief executive officer of Iowa Transfer System, which administers Shazam, the nation's 15th-largest electronic banking network.
"To legislate at this point is not right," said J. John Miller, president of Nebraska Electronic Transfer System.
"I believe in the free market. The states have to have the right to evaluate all the options and come up with the best solution without regulatory interference."
Last week, Shazam's board approved creation of an ad hoc lobbying committee, comprising 45 of its member institutions, some of which were on the Washington trip this week.
Shazam's bills would:
* Prohibit any EBT contractor from gaining an unfair competitive advantage in marketing point of sale services to merchants.
* Mandate interoperability to assure that all EBT cards work in any point of sale terminal.
* Authorize the Federal Reserve System to provide a national clearing service for retail electronic benefits transfer transactions that cannot otherwise be processed and cleared at local or regional levels. …

It crashes when i enter training mode :[
I know I'm late to the party, but if you want to add it to Ultra the files go in the /dlc/04_ae2/ui/main_menu and /dlc/04_ae2/ui/main_menu/vfx folders respectively.
Does this still work for the current version? Because i added it to my game but it didn't work.
Can say that this does not work for Ultra. Followed instructions from the zip and it didn't affect the menu . Hope you can fix it.
Where did the base art for this come from? Looked around but haven't found anything.
wow Juri is simply awesome on this picture *-* so is compatible whit Ultra street fighters ?? ( sorry for my english i'm french )
OMG i'm so dumb :3
any download link?
Juri chan kawaii
Excellent menu Augh !!!
Menu street fighter x takken ???
Haven't looked into modding SFxT menus at all yet. I have the game but feel very little urge to play it so mostly don't, maybe in the future!

Additional Information
About Negros Women for Tomorrow FoundationNegros Women for Tomorrow Foundation, Inc. (NWTF) is a non-governmental organization established with an aim to help men and women achieve self-sufficiency, particularly in the province of Negros Occidental's low-income communities. The organization offers its clients a wide variety of products, including loans for micro-entrepreneurs, hospital income benefits, life insurance, accidental death benefits and more. Kiva lenders' funds will be used to expand the reach of these products to low-income urban and rural communities.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Siwy Jeans
Can you guess whose butt this is in a pair of Siwy?
Can you guess whose butt this is in a pair of Siwy Hannah jeans in Rainstorm?
Kate Moss in Siwy Hannah in Rain
Kate Moss was spotted heading to lunch in North London. She wore her trusty pair of Siwy Hannah Jeans in Rain. I am amazed that the condition of these jeans is still pretty much brand new. I wonder if she stocked up when they first came out and these are just one of the many?
The pairing of this look is also very fresh for Kate. We rarely see her wear any color, let alone pink, plus she is wearing flat sandals. A rare sighting that has turned out to be very amazing. The pink and grey go so well together. You can click here to purchase Siwy from SINGER22.

Kate Hudson in Siwy Abbeylee Slim Crop Jeans in You Got It All
"Uh…WOW!" is all I could say when I saw this picture of Kate Hudson at the Venice Film Festival. How amazing does she look after having a baby a few months ago? There isn't another moment that will ever describe the wash of the jeans as perfectly again.
When arriving at the Hotel Excelsior, Kate wore a pair of Siwy Abbeylee Slim Crop Jeans in You Got It All. This whole look from head to toe is just perfect. She has never looked better, in my honest opinion. Each piece is well fitted and the colors all compliment each other really well. You can click here to purchase Siwy jeans at SINGER22.
Kate Hudson in Current/Elliott Perfect Shirt & Siwy Hannah in Starlust
Kate Hudson was spotted arriving in Miami, Florida at the Miami International Airport. She wore a double denim look with a striped scarf and some fringed boots. Kate paired together The Perfect Shirt by Current/Elliott with her Siwy Hannah in Starlust.
There is something about this look that is just perfect. The wash of both denim pieces compliment each other really well. I also like that Kate paired the paler shade with a medium washed pair of jeans, instead of the usual dark washed skinny jeans. You can click here to purchase both Siwy and Current/Elliott at SINGER22.

This is not the Hansel and Gretel you read about as a kid
What's it about?: Hansel and Gretel (Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton) takes place years after the siblings from the popular Brother's Grimm fairytale killed the witch with the gingerbread house. They are now professional witch hunters.
Bows are still in: Starting with this year's The Hunger Games, bows have been the go-to weapon for big-screen heroes and our title characters keep the trend going. Jeremy Renner should be comfortable around with a bow. He played the bow-toting Nighthawk in The Avengers. Be sure to check out Arterton's automatic crossbow in the trailer.
Verdict: While the idea of Hansel and Gretel as witch-killing assassins sounds great on paper, so did a vampire-killing Abe Lincoln. This version of Hansel and Gretel looks more like Van Helsing 2.0 (and that's not really a compliment).

Jerred Smithson dealt to Oilers
Updated: April 3, 2013, 1:32 PM ETESPN.com news services
The Edmonton Oilers acquired veteran center Jerred Smithson from the Florida Panthers on Wednesday for a fourth-round draft pick.
Smithson has appeared in 35 games this season with the Panthers, recording two goals and three assists.
The 34-year-old Smithson figures to provide veteran depth and help in the faceoff circle for the Oilers (15-13-7), who entered Wednesday one point out of the eighth playoff spot in the Western Conference standings.
A 10-year veteran, Smithson has ...

In Memoriam: Tiananmen Square
"The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it."
Yesterday, June 4, was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the brutal suppression of the pro-Democracy protests in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. Over 3000 of the protestors were murdered by the Communist government of China. Tyranny won that round, but I have absolutely no doubt that Democracy will ultimately prevail in the Middle Kingdom. When it does, the heroes and heroines of Tiananmen Square will be remembered and their murderers forgotten.
Poor Misunderstood Marx!
Commonweal has an article by Marxist literary critic Terry Eagleton in which he argues that Marx was right in his critique of captalism. Go here to read it. Go here to read a post about the article which appeared on the Commonweal blog. ( I will confess to having a very slight grudging respect for Mr. Eagleton ever since his memorable, and scorching, review which may be read here, of Richard Dawkins' inane The God Delusion. The respect is very slight and very grudging indeed, since Mr. Eagleton also wrote a bitter diatribe against John Paul II, which may be read here, after the death of the pontiff. He also views the Catholic Church, the Church he was raised in, as "one of the nastiest authoritarian outfits on the planet", which is rich coming from a Marxist.)
The Marx set forth in the article by Mr. Eagleton is unrecognizable to me. The Marx of history was not some sort of democratic eurosocialist. He was a hard core advocate of terror. The quotations from his works and letters on this point are legion. Here is a typical statement he made in 1850 in an address to the Communist League:
"[The working class] must act in such a manner that the revolutionary excitement does not collapse immediately after the victory. On the contrary, they must maintain it as long as possible. Far from opposing so-called excesses, such as sacrificing to popular revenge of hated individuals or public buildings to which hateful memories are attached, such deeds must not only be tolerated, but their direction must be taken in hand, for examples' sake."
From the same address:
To be able forcefully and threateningly to oppose this party, whose betrayal of the workers will begin with the very first hour of victory, the workers must be armed and organized. The whole proletariat must be armed at once with muskets, rifles, cannon and ammunition, and the revival of the old-style citizens' militia, directed against the workers, must be opposed. Where the formation of this militia cannot be prevented, the workers must try to organize themselves independently as a proletarian guard, with elected leaders and with their own elected general staff; they must try to place themselves not under the orders of the state authority but of the revolutionary local councils set up by the workers. Where the workers are employed by the state, they must arm and organize themselves into special corps with elected leaders, or as a part of the proletarian guard. Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary. The destruction of the bourgeois democrats' influence over the workers, and the enforcement of conditions which will compromise the rule of bourgeois democracy, which is for the moment inevitable, and make it as difficult as possible – these are the main points which the proletariat and therefore the League must keep in mind during and after the approaching uprising.
Nothing done by the Communist states that claimed Marx as their ideological father in regard to the suppression of adversaries and the use of mass terror to remain in power cannot find full warrant in the works of Marx.
Of course, Marx goes wrong at the very beginning in regard to his view of Man which is completely materialist. In his A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right, Marx spelled out his view that religion was an illusion which deterred the revolutionary rage of the people: Continue reading
Burleigh Defends the Pope
My second favorite living historian, Michael Burleigh, who has written stunningly original works on subjects as diverse as Nazi Germany, religion and politics in the last two centuries, terrorism, and morality and World War II, has taken up the cudgels against the despicable attitude of many Brits of the chattering classes regarding the visit of the Pope to the Island next to Ireland.
Under normal circumstances, one might say "welcome" rather than "receive". But the multiple sexual scandals that have afflicted parts of the Catholic Church have created a window of opportunity for sundry chasers of limelight – including human rights militants, crusading gays, Islamist fanatics, and celebrity God-botherers – to band together to "arrest" the Pope under laws so obscure that few knew they existed. Because child abuse is involved, rather than the more widespread phenomenon of homosexual predation on young men, these manifestations will receive much media attention, especially from the BBC, to the guaranteed perplexity of a less involved general public in a nominally Protestant country. It will require some effort of mind to tune out this noise to hear what the Pope will be saying.
Lori Berenson Set Free
Marxist activist Lori Berenson was convicted in 1995 for her acts of terrorism with the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA) in Peru. She was set free on parole where she must finish her remaining five years in Lima without leaving the country.
She served 15 years and was granted parole today. Lori Berenson probably benefited from the weight of the American government in reducing the original lifetime sentence to 20 years back in 2005.
MRTA was a Communist rebel group that looked to impose a totalitarian form of government in Peru through terrorist activities. They're most famous for their takeover of the Japanese embassy in Lima in 1997.
Over 70,000 Peruvians were victims of Marxist and Communist terrorist activities throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
Is the Means of Production an Obsolete Idea?
The "means of production" (which may be defined, roughly, as consisting of capital goods minus human and financial capital), is a central concept in Marxism, as well as in other ideologies such as Distributism. The problems of capitalism, according to both Marxists and Distributists, arise from the fact that ownership of the means of production is concentrated in the hands of the few. Marxists propose to remedy these problems by having the means of production be collectively owned. Distributists want to retain private ownership, but to break the means of production up (where practicable) into smaller parts so that everyone will have a piece (if you wanted to describe the difference between the Marxist and Distributist solutions here, it would be that Distributists want everyone to own part of the means of production, whereas Marxists want everyone to be part owner of all of it).
Where a society's economy is based primarily on agriculture or manufacture, thinking in terms of the means of production makes some sense. In an agricultural economy wealth is based primarily on ownership of land, and in a manufacturing economy ownership of things like factories and machinery plays an analogous role. In a modern service-based economy, by contrast, wealth is based largely on human capital (the possession of knowledge and skills). As Pope John Paul II notes in Centesimus Annus, "[i]n our time, in particular, there exists another form of ownership which is becoming no less important than land: the possession of know-how, technology and skill. The wealth of the industrialized nations is based much more on this kind of ownership than on natural resources."

Where Your CCHD Donations Go To
Today most of your parishes will be collecting for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD). Donald, Christopher, and I have written over and over again of where the money actually goes to, funding for abortions being the most grevious of the lot.
So think twice before donating anything.
(Biretta Tip: Paul Nichols)
Boycott Upcoming Catholic Campaign for Human Development Collection
There is a coalition of Catholic organizations that have formed that will be pushing for a nationwide boycott of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) called REFORM The Catholic Campaign For Human Development with a website. The Sunday before Thanksgiving a collection is done by many parishes for CCHD. Instead of donating money to an organization that is diametrically opposed to many teachings of the Catholic Church, submit the coupon that is at the top of this posting.
You can also download a PDF file and print it out yourself here.
The many scandals that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) never ceases to amaze. It's been well documented how insidious and diabolical CCHD is from funding ACORN to funding abortions.
5th June, 1989 A.D.
Sometimes one image serves to sum up an event in the world's memory. For the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, that image is probable the one of the "tank man" — a lone protester who was photographed on June 5th, 1989 when he briefly stood, unarmed, before a tank column and stopped it.
There is not agreement as to who the "tank man" was, and most reports suggest he was arrested by the secret police and executed within the next two weeks.
In those heady days, it seemed possible that within a few years communist dictatorship would be nothing more than a memory, but twenty years later the communist oligarchs in China have learned to accomodate freedom and enterprise enough to remain in power. And the tank man's dream remains unrealized.

Commission finished for Christmas- one of my largest carvings!
I absolutely love your houses! I always wanted to sculp little houses, may I ask for a link to a tutorial? I would appreciate it very much.
Love your work!
Love your work!
phenomenal and inspiring! They all have personalities of their own.
I'm absolutely blown away by your work...It's some of the best I've ever seen. WOW!!!!
Hi, Here is the link to the manipulation. I'll send you the Original without watermark via note. pranile.deviantart.com/art/The…
Thank you very much !
Fantastic job!
now THAT is a thing of beauty!
HOLY CRAP! Those are intense. I could never accomplish that. Ever. Very nice.
Well thank you very much, I am honored that you like the work!..... Question, How do you know you could not accomplish this type of work if you never tried? You may surprise yourself!
WOWOWOWOW! SO amazing!
Amazing and lovely, what kind of wood do you use for these? They're beautiful.
It's amazing!!!
Holy crap you're good O.o
Well thank you Ms. Any, I am honored that you like my work, I don't hear that to often!
Amy* And you're welcome! I am suprised you don't hear that too often, you're amazing
Again thank you and that was very sweet of you, you made this old mans day!
Oh wow! That is just amazing! I'd hate to imagine how long it took you! ♥
That one took me a month and a half but I am a slow worker! lol!!
oh my goodness! That's...wow I barely have patience to start over my drawings when I absolutely need to... If I made one mistake i'd be like, 'I NEED NEW MATERIAL'... lol but some people have to have the patience others lack yes?
That is very true, but doing these carvings I have learned in a hurry that patience is everything! Experience is a hard teacher, because she gives the test first the lesson afterwards!
yyeaah, Sometimes I can muster up patience, but sometimes (normally on really sucky days) I'm just like 'whatever' and end up failing so hard, cause I don't have the patience to stop and look at what i'm doing xD
Stopping and looking at your creation is so very important, because you don't want to continue making mistakes over and over. Now training your yourself to do that is another story altogether. It took me a good year to stop what I was doing and actually look at my project to see my next step even though I thought I new what it was going to be, and without stopping I found that I was usually wrong! Every artist was first an amateur! Just train yourself ever so often stop and study your piece, the more you do it the better your results will be. DON'T be in a hurry to complete!
considering I started drawing in grade school, from square heads to more reasonably shaped heads, I've slowly taught myself to look at things from a different perspective, and slowly got to where I am today, I've gotten more patience, and I love drawing. But it's those days that make you just not want to do it anymore that make you neglect what you've taught yourself.
I agree with that, then sometimes its better to pull away for a while, I have walked away from carving for weeks and that did seem to work but if you are creating in school well now that is a different situation altogether! Question! What makes you not want to do it or continue on those days?
Oh my god this is amazing work. I'm like stunned, this is just so good!!!
woah! that's amazing!
Wow! Awesome carvings! What talent!
I really like this house ! Well all your houses are great !!
wow! amazing!

How I can accomplis this?
There are a number of ways this can be accomplished. The most direct is to modify the user template. This is located in /System/Library/User Template/. There are templates in there that allow you to customize many different languages but you likely want English.lproj. Or you can populate Non_localized as the creation of a home folder merges the contents of Non_localized with the current default language.
Files moved in here should be owned by root and anything in the template will be copied to the user's home folder on home folder creation. Note, if you have existing users, this solution does not address them. The User Template is only referenced on account creation.
To handle that you need to use MCX (requires OS X Server but is depreciated as of 10.8), Profile Manager (not as granular as MCX), Centrify if you are integrated with AD and don't have OS X Server, or a tool like JAMF to manage all the MCX after the fact.
If you only need a few items set, you can tweak the AD default template as this contains some basic MCX key value pairs. Although, I have not tried this yet in Mountain Lion so maybe ignore this.
If you have no access to any of those, you can pull this off with Apple Remote Desktop and some scripting skills. The defaults command can set many preferences and with some creativity you can send this as a unix command to a fleet of systems and modify all users at once.
Hi Strontium90,
I got some preferences already set up over all user, less wallpaper background and sidebar icons on finder. When I'm copying the sidebarlist settings, it will load into new users but those locations are without authorized access.
It seems like every time I click on an icon on sidebar, it want to open a folder where I dont have access.
Any suggestion?
So it sounds like this is your scenario:
You are logging in as the admin account and placing images that you want to be used by all users in the admin's home folder. For sake of argument, let's say you are placing them in /Users/admin/Library/Desktop Pictures/. Now, you then set the background by pointing to a file in /Users/admin/Library/Desktop Pictures/ which records the absolute path to the background image in the preference file. You then copy that preference and distribute it to all users through user template, MCX, or which ever method you would like. Other users log in and they do not have access to the desktop background.
The cause is simple. It is an access rights problem. You are storing the images in a user's home and other users on the machine will not have access to the data in that path.
If you want to use a custom background, store the files in /Library/Desktop Pictures. This is the Apple defined location to store common assets like this. Then define your preference file to reference the image from that location. /Library/Desktop Pictures is readable by all users so there will not be a problem distributing this out to everyone.
Thanks Strontium90,
I saved the background image into:
System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences
I supposed this folder is reacheable. Could it be like this? And the last...which file is containing the background preference on my user folder?
Thank you for all your help!
If you save the file in System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences then it is only referenced during account creation. Now if the preference file is referencing the file with a relative path (~/Library/Preferences/image.jpg) than this will work for all NEW user accounts.
The better place to put it is /Library/Desktop Pictures as this is accessible to all users (System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences is not accessible to anyone but root). Then when the path to the file is recorded in the preference file, it can be an absolute path (/Library/Desktop Pictures/image.jpg).

This stock will outperform this year do to its recent $7 Billion Dollar contract with U.S Army to help create Green Technology
Its dividend. This is the largest energy company. It has already started the conversion from coal to Nat gas plants, and is better poised to take advantage of record low LNG costs.
Duke recognizes that spending today will mean saving (and earning) tomorrow. During the Q&A portion of the earnings call, Rogers went so far as to make a direct jab at one of his company's competitors: "Our modernization plan is ahead of most utilities in the country. If you look at Southern (NYSE: SO ) today, they are just now starting down the road of modernization of their generation fleet." I fact-checked Rogers, and he's right. In the past three years, Southern has spent 26% of its sales on capital expenditures, while Duke has doled out 32%. With legal battles behind it and a solid fourth quarter, I'm ready to make an "outperform" call on Duke. Read my full bullish take here:
Duk is finishing a new coal gasification plant in Edwardsport, IN. It is also pushing for distributed green energy. It is also working hard on it's own smart grid technologies.
Duke will have excessive expenses as the result of the merger with Progress Energy, as follows: Debt vs Earnings as combined with merger, excessive cost(s) associated with the merger, combined debt of both companies, and combined (major) operating expenses. As a result the Net Margin of the combined companies cannot support the FCF for the existing Dividend distribution (4.7%). This will result in a cut or discontinuation of dividends for a period of time until they can reduce the debt and other monetary obligations. Credit Rating has already been down graded by Moody. Commissions will also be reluctant to approve rate requests based on the CEO change decision immediately after the Merger Approval. The North Carolina Secretary of State continues to investigate thr post-merger events.
Duke will recover,however, just how long it will take is undetermined at this time.
With a consistent high yield dividend and good core business investors will pile in when there are no safe returns in bonds...... As close to a bond a stock could be.
I am a new investor, but from what I see in it track record it will do well.
Get bullish on utilities. DUK pays a 4.5% dividend. The 50 MA just passed the 100. And the low beta will help shield you from the upcoming slowdown.
Lets be honest, this compnay is not fair. Its has plants to in south america to give you a little taste of emerging markets, its have soler,nuke, coal, and gas plants not only on the east coast but Indiana and Illinois. It has sweet dividend and to top it all off once the deal with Progress energy goes through enough weight to make some very profitable deals.
I love most any legal monopoly especially one that pays a good dividend. Duke is a great utility
Steady reliable utility equity with a good yield.
A growing company which is investing into new sources of revenue. Solid dividend in the meantime.
Good dividend, mostly solid numbers. Probably put 1% in here.

AMBOY — The result wasn't good. But it wasn't exactly a surprise, either.
When Gordon Brooks first confirmed high levels of arsenic in the well water at his north Clark County home, he didn't consider it an urgent matter. He and his wife worked around it initially, mostly relying on bottled water. They figured they'd install a filtration system eventually. But then some extra motivation arrived last fall.
Brooks' daughter and her husband moved in. And with them came Laila, Brooks' infant granddaughter. Suddenly, fixing the arsenic problem jumped up the home improvement priority list.
"It's going to affect her the rest of her life," said Brooks, who is battalion chief of Clark County Fire District 10.
High levels of arsenic are generally more prevalent in north Clark County, public health officials say. The odorless, colorless semi-metal can cause skin damage, plus circulatory and gastrointestinal problems, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. It's also been linked to various forms of cancer after long-term exposure.
It's a risk Clark County Public Health has studied in the past, and hopes to soon learn more about, said environmental health program manager Aaron Henderson. The county this year plans to go after a state grant of up to $30,000. That money would pay for further study, and help the county get a better handle on where — and why — Clark County residents are at greater risk.
Arsenic occurs naturally, and its prevalence in north county may be caused by a number of factors, Henderson said. The area's geology, sediments and water sources likely all play a role. Locally, wells from one property to the next may not get the same arsenic reading, depending on their depth and what's in the ground at each location.
The EPA considers 10 parts per billion the safe standard for arsenic in drinking water. That number took effect in 2002, after the agency decided to lower its earlier standard of 50 parts per billion.
For the county, education is an ongoing effort, Henderson said.
"Arsenic is a pretty scary word," he said. "But there's also treatment options out there."
Brooks tested his own well even before moving into his home outside Amboy last spring. The result confirmed what he suspected: an arsenic level of more than twice the EPA standard.
Brooks bought the home out of foreclosure, and realized there wasn't much maintenance happening while it was bank-owned. With that gap between him and the previous owner, Brooks simply put the water system on his checklist going in.
"We came into it knowing that we had some things we had to do," Brooks said. "That was one of them."
About a month ago, Brooks got his new filtration system up and running, contained within a simple black cylinder in his garage. He shopped around — and found systems cost as much as $7,500 — before choosing a Yacolt company for the installation. Brooks said his own system cost about $2,900.
The system has done the job. Brooks said the arsenic in his water is now below detectable levels — essentially zero.
"We have excellent water," he said.
The only drinking water lab in Clark County is Vancouver's Addy Lab, which handles some two dozen residential samples a week, said co-owner Tom Newman. A single test costs a little more than $30 to process, he said.
Not all of Brooks' neighbors in north Clark County have tested their water for arsenic, he said. Some simply don't seem interested, he said.
As local officials learn more about Clark County's landscape and risks, the county hopes to engage residents as part of that process, Henderson said. It's a conversation with high stakes, he added.
"It's a really important topic in terms of property values and people's health," Henderson said. "Those are big issues."

Working closely with reputable local partners in the coastal region of south west Portugal, promoting responsible tourism.
Wild, rugged and unspoilt.
Lying right below the country's heart, the Alentejo has served as Portugal's breadbasket and seduces with its slow pace, a sense of modern times in half step. Really wild describes the Rota Vicentina, one of Europe's newest hiking paths. The trail crosses 133 miles of Alentejo, from rough coastline to countryside where storks nest and endemic plants like camphor thyme flourish..
Rota Vicentina is an initiative of private entities and the region's public entities, financed by various agencies including the European Union.
In the Alentejo, for much of its distance the Rota Vicentina takes two different routes. The Historical Way passes through main towns and villages mostly along rural trails. The Fishermen's Trail runs along the coastline following trails used by local people to reach secluded beaches and popular sea angling spots.
We offer, probably, the widest choice of self-guided walking holidays in the coastal Alentejo region of south west Portugal.
Self-guided walking or cycling tours with luggage transfers.
Centre based self-guided walking holidays with transfers to walks.
Tailor-made walking holidays to suit your own requirements.

Unfortunately, this is true. I'll explain. Dogs are trained to sniff out a lot of things, and some of those "things" are human remains.

"The Completion of the Pearl River Delta" Taishan by jlee008
Taishan Travel Guide: 13 reviews and 7 photos
Taishan is an area in Guangdong Province. It is basically a city that is surrounded by an abundance of small villages. The area of Taishan is home to about 1.3 million Chinese overseas. In fact it is known as China's first homeland for overseas Chinese. This are more than 1 million people who reside there currently. It has certainly tried to promote its tourism, especially to the overseas Chinese coming back to the homeland for a visit, but it retains much of its character. It still maintains the way of life that is the tenuous balance between the modern and the traditional Chinese culture.
This area is where my ancestors from several generations came. Heritage and tradition mix equally with modern society as some of its people struggle into modernization while others are content to follow the ways that have been practiced for hundreds of generations.

Briar needs just two things: blood and vengeance. The first sustains her immortal life; the second gives it meaning.
First on her hit list is Gregor, the renegade vampire who schooled her in brutality, then betrayed and tortured her. To achieve her deadly ends, Briar joins the inscrutable Reaper and his misfit gang of vampires who are also hunting her old mentor.
But once she's destroyed Gregor, she'll be gone. The group means nothing to her. Not even Crisa - damaged, defenseless, a liability in every way -the childlike vamp with whom Briar shares a blood bond. Or Reaper. Though they shared one moment of pure passion, it's not as though Briar has feelings for him.
Because Briar needs no one. She needs only to satisfy her twin hungers--ones that may ultimately consume her.

GAAP operating income for the second quarter of 2012 was $11.1 million, compared to $18.3 million for the 2011 second quarter. This decrease was primarily due to an increased level of consolidation and integration activities, the costs of which are excluded from adjusted amounts. Adjusted operating income was $18.6 million, or 11.2% of sales in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $18.4 million, or 12.6% of sales, for the comparable 2011 period. Refer to Table A at the end of this release for a reconciliation of GAAP operating income to adjusted operating income and the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" section below.The 2012 second quarter GAAP and adjusted effective tax rates were 43.9% and 38.7%, respectively, compared to 33.0% and 33.3%, respectively, for the same periods of 2011. The 2011 effective tax rates include the benefit of the R&D tax credit, which expired at the end of 2011. Additionally, 2012 amounts include losses from our Swiss operations, which are deducted at a lower effective tax rate, thus increasing the overall effective tax rate of the Company. We currently expect our 2012 annual GAAP effective tax rate to be between 40% and 45%, depending on the timing of expenses incurred in connection with the closure of manufacturing operations in Switzerland. On an adjusted basis, which will exclude the impact of these consolidation costs, we expect our effective tax rate to be more in line with the U.S. statutory rate of 35%.

The information made available on this webcast and conference call contains certain forward-looking statements that reflect PVH's view of future events and financial performance as of December 1, 2011. Any such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the company's SEC filings, including those identified in the company's Safe Harbor statement that is part of the earnings press release that is the subject of this webcast and conference call.
These include the company's right to change its strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions. It's need to use significant cash flow to service its debt obligations, its vulnerability to weather, economic conditions, fuel prices, fashion trends, loss of retail accounts, disease epidemics or and terrorism, availability of raw materials and other factors, its reliance on the sales of its licensees and retail customers and its exposure to the behavior of its associates, business partners and licensers. Therefore the company's future results of operations could differ materially from historical results or current expectations as more fully discussed in its SEC filings.
The company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, including without limitation any estimate regarding revenue or earnings.
The information made available also includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules. A reconciliation of these measures is included in the company's earnings release which can be found on the company's website www.pvh.com and in the company's current report on Form 8-K furnished to the SEC in advance of this webcast and call.
At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to Chairman and CEO, Manny Chirico. Please go ahead.
Manny Chirico
Thank you, Robert. Joining me on the call this afternoon is Mike Shaffer, our Chief Financial Officer; Allen Sirkin, our President and Chief Operating Officer; Ken Duane, the Head of all our Wholesale Businesses; and Dana Perlman, our Treasurer and Head of Investor Relationships.
We're very pleased with our results for the quarter. We beat the top end of our third quarter earnings guidance by $0.08. And given the momentum in our business we also took up the fourth quarter by raising our full year guidance by $0.13.
Okay. Let me start with our Calvin Klein business as I get into each of the individual components. Our Calvin Klein business continued its strong growth momentum. Total revenues in the third quarter for our combined Calvin Klein businesses were up 11% and operating profits increased 13%.
The Calvin Klein Wholesale and Retail businesses that we operate directly posted a 13% sales increase in the quarter. The strong performance was driven by our Men's Wholesale Sportswear business, as well as very strong performance in our own retail stores. Our Calvin Klein Retail business posted a 12% comp store increase in the quarter.
In our Licensing segment, royalties were up 8%. The business posted strong revenue growth across all geographic regions specifically North America was up about a little bit more than 7%, Europe was up 8%, Asia sales were up about 18% and Latin America/South America were up just a little bit over 20%.
Moving on to some of our big categories and businesses, I'll start with underwear. The Calvin Klein underwear business was ahead about 11% in the quarter with all regions, Europe, Asia and the Americas posting strong sales gains. This growth was driven by the continued growth of the international retail square footage and the extremely strong performance of CK One.
CK One's retail results are strong in all markets. In men's CK One continues to exceed our plans and has helped us to grow our number one share position within U.S. department stores. CK One currently represents over 10% of our annual underwear business.
In women's, our Naked Glamour introduction is off to a strong start in all international markets. The supporting marketing campaign has been very well received, new product initiatives along side breakthrough marketing campaigns has been a hallmark of the Calvin Klein underwear business. This strategy has enabled us to grow our market position globally as the number one intimate apparel duel-gender brand.
Moving onto jeans. Our global jeans and related businesses were down 2% for the quarter. Relatively soft sales in the U.S. and Europe were offset by strong business throughout Asia and South America. For the fourth quarter, we expect the jeans business to grow in the mid single-digit range, driven by new products, particularly our Power Stretch program, which will be a significant initiative for the spring season.

Phase III studies demonstrated that adding telaprevir to PEGinterferon and ribavirin significantly improves SVR rates.[© 4designersart - Fotolia.com]
FDA approved Vertex Pharmaceuticals' Incivek™ (telaprevir) tablets for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 in patients with compensated liver disease. Approval covers the use of Incivek in combination with pegylated interferon and ribavirin, in both treatment-naive patients and previously treated individuals who relapsed or did not respond to their initial therapy.
Approval of Incivek in the U.S. was based on data from three Phase III studies demonstrating that adding the drug to PEGinterferon and ribavirin significantly improved sustained viral response (SVR) rates, irrespective of previous treatment regimens.
Treatment-naive patients receiving the triple combination therapy demonstrated an SVR rate of 79%, compared with 46% for those treated using PEGinterferon and ribavirin alone. Among participants who had previously been treated for chronic HCV infection but failed to achieve viralogic cure, adding Incivek to PEGinterferon and ribavirin similarly boosted SVR rates when compared with treatment using PEGinterferon and ribavirin.
For previous relapsers, SVR increased from 22% to 86% with the addition of Incivek therapy, while for partial responders the SVR rate increased from 15% to 59%. Among patients who didn't respond to previous therapy, the Incivek combination led to an SVR of 32%, compared with 5% for nonresponders subsequently treated using PEGinterferon and ribavirin alone.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

ben 10- man of action- cartoon network
He grown up so fast!
your epic!
I LOVE ominverse, I like Ultimate Alien and Alien force, but I don't like the original series at all.
ah the middle one is the best i really don't like the others they changed him so much
they changed him so much! ... if you like AF is fine, but the original series was the one that began it all and then came UAF to change everything and a lot of things dont even make sense, OV just try to combine the previous series.
When lives are on the line it's hero time BEN 10 (Ending to new omniverse intro)
I'm still so unsure of the new show... UGH! I mean, maybe it will be good. But Ben, Gwen, and Kevin were like my favorite superhero trio. If they're not going to be in the new show... I just don't know. I really don't know. And I kind of agree with!igottasketchbook about the new style. I always loved the original show's style, and I feel like the longer the show runs, the less and less it resembles that in any way. And I'm confused: is Omniverse even connected to the story plot that the other shows follow? From what I've seen, some of it is and some of it is questionable. Someone please fill me in. And what the fuck is up with Kev's gettup? Suspenders? Really? I don't get it. I've been a real fan of the show sinse the beginning. Now I'm just confused. :/
it kinda doesn't make any sense when u compare ben 10 ultimate to ben 10 omniverse
but hey...it's not my show -_____-
but hey...it's not my show -_____-
I'm not exactly looking forward to omniverse with like the "elementary"-esque artwork. The style change just seems too drastic and more 2D. Like there's no depth from what I saw of the trailer.

Officials are stocking up on cots, blankets and plenty of food and water. By the looks of things many folks are choosing to either stay with friends and family or ride out the storm at home.
Only a few people are opting to spend the night at the shelter in Crawfordville, and a check at Leon and Taylor County shelters show similar results.
Still, Red Cross volunteers say they're prepared to serve anyone who walks through the door.
If you'd like to take cover at a nearby shelter, here's the list:
Wakulla County: head to Crawfordville Elementary School.
Taylor County: go to Taylor County Elementary school in Perry.
Leon County: Florida High in Southwood.
The Suwannee County coliseum is acting as a pet friendly shelter.
