Global mobile payments to surpass $130 billion by 2020
Technologies such as Apple Pay are driving increased adoption of NFC-based mobile payments, and the industry is expected to grow significantly over the course of the next few years. According to a report from Strategy Analytics, the NFC mobile payment market will exceed $130 billion by 2020.
This is encouraging news for an industry that took longer than initially expected to get off the ground. For years, there was talk that Apple's iPhone would contain the NFC technology needed to facilitate mobile payments at retail stores and restaurants, but it was only this year when the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus came out that the technology was finally included in the popular line of smartphones. Now that NFC is becoming more mainstream, it's expected to only grow exponentially over … more
Google sues MasterCard, Visa for allegedly high merchant interchange fees
Google has slammed MasterCard and Visa with a new federal lawsuit, accusing the credit card companies of excessively high and "supracompetitive" merchant interchange fees.
The complaint alleges that from January 1, 2004, to November 28, 2012, Google was forced to pay a merchant interchange rate considerably higher than "what a competitive market would allow" whenever it accepted payments from MasterCard or Visa cardholders. The tech giant accuses the credit card providers of violating Section 1 of the Sherman Act with its merchant service rates.
A class action lawsuit had previously been filed against both MasterCard and Visa over debit and credit card merchant fees. That case ended with a settlement of $7.25 billion that was then divided up among the plaintiffs who were forced to pay … more
January marks the start of PCI version 3.0
Companies that rely on credit card merchant services must be compliant with a new set of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards in 2015. Effective this month, version 3.0 will replace the previous set of standards, in an effort to enhance security and protect personal data for consumers.
PCI updates its standards every three years, as advances in technology and new vulnerabilities emerge, to make the industry more airtight to breaches. Experts say that while becoming compliant with new PCI directives might cause headaches in the short term, it will benefit companies and their customers in the long run.
"It's also a response to events that have taken place since the last DSS version, like the numerous security breaches and mass credit card data thefts that … more
How will merchants balance acceptance and costs in 2015?
As merchants look ahead to a new year, now is the time to project how their role will evolve in 2015 and beyond. Technology will continue to advance well into the new year, which will provide merchants with opportunities to process payments in new and innovative ways. Of course, not every merchant is on board with new payment methods that utilize different tools like mobile phones and tablets, but increased adoption is going to be a major story in 2015. In fact, one publication has gone as far as saying this will be the most pressing issue in the merchant community next year, and it may result in other needs taking a back seat.
There is nothing more frustrating as a consumer than getting to the front of the checkout line only to realize they do not accept your preferred method of … more
Tablet POS solutions to play a big role in payments industry in 2015
As the year winds down, payment systems professionals have begun looking at what 2015 will bring for the industry. The consensus is that technological advancements will push what were innovative niche systems to the mainstream. Tablet POS systems are one of these technologies, and given the advancements in hardware and software required to make these tools work, more companies will find it easier to adopt them into their payments infrastructure in the new year.
PYMNTS.com spoke about the ways payments technologies will emerge in the coming year with a number of industry professionals who believe tablet POS systems will not only become mainstream, but that organizations will increasingly use modern technologies like the cloud to facilitate tablet POS … more
Top five factors impacting a merchant's effective real rate to accept card payments
Understanding your effective real rate is the key to identifying the most cost-effective payment services provider. Your effective real rate measures the total cost of all processing fees and can be calculated by dividing the total merchant charges and fees over a given amount of time by the total bank card sales volume over that same amount of time. The only way to ensure you have the best effective real rate is to understand what factors into determining this rate.
Here are the top five factors impacting real rate:
Your industry: Merchants have different real rates depending on their industry. For example, retail, hospitality, education, the restaurant industry and B2B sales all have different real rates.
Card types accepted: There are a growing number of card types in the … more
When implementing a payment processing system, training is of the utmost importance
The payment technology industry is evolving rapidly, so it's understandable that some consumers are unsure as to what solutions are out there in the market and how they work. Those that accept these payments, whether they are restaurants or retailers, should have no such excuse. Unfortunately, some organizations have not followed necessary steps during the adoption process, which has resulted in confused employees and frustrated customers.
Apple Pay has been live for almost two months, but not all reported participants have done their part to make the transition from traditional methods to Apple Pay seamless. When Tim Cook first unveiled Apple Pay at an iPhone event in September, McDonalds was listed as an early adopter of the technology, but the popular fast food restaurant never told … more

Can merchants do enough to protect customers this holiday season?
An article in USA Today suggests merchants are just as vulnerable this year as they were last year, even though a number of measures have been taken to improve overall payment security. The implementation of EMV technology was a major initiative this year, and earlier this fall Bank of America rolled out its security chip program. However, many stores have not implemented the technology needed to process these payments, according to the news source.

Are you prepared for Small Business Saturday?
Black Friday and Cyber Monday get all of the attention, but they aren't the only two shopping events that take place in the first few days after Thanksgiving. While major retailers like Walmart and eCommerce providers like Amazon do great business on their respective shopping holidays, what about small local businesses? They get their day too. On the day after Black Friday, consumers are encouraged to visit their local businesses in an event called Small Business Saturday.
This is an opportunity for smaller companies who can't compete with those offering major door-buster deals as early as Thanksgiving morning to take advantage of the busy shopping weekend. It's a chance for those who want to support their local economy to do just that. Erikka Storch, the Wheeling Area Chamber of … more

Tribal woman in C`garh gangraped
Raipur: A tribal woman in Narayanpur district has claimed that she was gangraped by four unidentified armed men wearing uniforms.
Narayanpur SP Mayank Srivastava said that a case has been registered in this regard.
According to the woman, she was raped in the forest between Turtha and Karepal by four armed men on 18th of this month.
The 45-year old victim initially did not file police complaint on the advice by her family members. But a few days ago, she took ill and a health worker in the area who learnt about the incident alerted the police yesterday.
The woman first said that the culprits were wearing battle-fatigues but later said that they were wearing black uniforms.
It was not certain whether they were policemen or naxals, Srivastava stated.

Stones Throw x Fool's Gold Discotheque
Posted on Jul 26th, 2010
This year during Coachella, we got together with our friends from Stones Throw for one fine evening of "disco, boogie and house music" (as the hand-drawn flyer advertised) from Peanut Butter Wolf, The Brothers Macklovitch (A-Trak and Dave1), Mayer Hawthorne, Jokers Of The Scene, James Pants, and Chris Bag Raiders. Aloe Blacc was on mic duties throughout the evening, and, as you can see from the video highlight reel, a groovy time was had by all!
The night went so well, in fact, that we decided to base a whole tour around it: the Stones Throw x Fool's Gold Discotheque, featuring Peanut Butter Wolf, A-Trak, J Rocc and Nacho Lovers (alongside DJ sets from some very special guests: Treasure Fingers, Holy Ghost!, Mayer Hawthorne and more) kicking off in Chicago with a Lollapalooza afterparty on August 6th and then traveling to San Francisco, Portland, and wrapping up with a very special boat party in Vancouver.

Look to the S&W line...they also are making a .327. I would stick to .38/.357 though. Easier for ammo and better trade value later. Look at the Model 60 or Model 640. That SP101 is also an excellent choice, built like a tank.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
It's been a little while since my last post. But I was wondering if any one has had any experience with the Ruger SP 101 .327 as a CCW?
I've heard some good things about the round. Such as, "straight or flat shooting" and "Easy recoil" I'm assuming that means it's not as hard on the wrists as say the .357 mag. for range practice.
Although weight is a consideration, I'm not opposed to carrying a heftier piece. I've been carrying the Bersa Mini-Thunder in a Crossbreed holster. Love that!!
But I also like to change things up a bit. I've always been partial to revolvers and the .327 intrigues me!
Every once in a while I carry a Taurus 9mm revolver. But frankly speaking, the moon clip thing is for the birds! Because once I blow my 5 little rounds. The Taurus is nothing more than an ugly black rock!
Any responses would be appreciated!
Look to the S&W line...they also are making a .327. I would stick to .38/.357 though. Easier for ammo and better trade value later. Look at the Model 60 or Model 640. That SP101 is also an excellent choice, built like a tank.
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.
I always like Ruger and S&W. I have 2 taurus revolvers M67 and M605 that have performed fine
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
Before buying the 327 I would suggest a check on ammunition availability. I've never seen it locally in stores and it seems pretty scarce on the internet as well. I haven't really been interested in the 327 and so haven't done extensive searching for ammo but it would be a concern of mine.
I carry a SP101 3", .357 mag.
I don't see the need for the .327, but that is me. Ammo is expensive, in all the forms that it can shoot which is a turn off for me. Well that and the fact that I already had 38sp/357 guns and reload for them before adding the SP101.
I can't argue with the choice of the gun, but would reconsider the caliber, but like I said that is just me.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

I'm a huge Smith & Wesson revolver fan but there are no flies on the SP 101. I'd love to have a .327 Magnum for shooting and handloading fun but believe I'll take something shooting a larger, heavier bullet for personal self defense.
If you are interested in range use then you might want to choose a .327 Mangum with adjustable sights and a longer barrel. There's nothing wrong with having handguns dedicated to fun.
I would stick with 38/357 rather than take a flier on a cartridge that may fade away like so many others. Even if it lasted, I don't see what it could do better than a .357 magnum, where you have the choice of shooting 38 special, 38 special +p, and mild to hot .357 loads.
Blessed be the Lord my rock who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle. Psalm 144:1
Si vis pacem, para bellum
That's about how I think about it but Ruger has a 7 shot GP100 now in 327 mag. I guess they feel it's here to stay. Probably some pretty mild recoil in that 40oz revolver.I would stick with 38/357 rather than take a flier on a cartridge that may fade away like so many others.
yup...i'll vote for .357 as well - just shoots a good variety of loads
sp101 are sweet - tried to find a 3" for months ended up with S&W 60PRO 3" and i love it

Thank you folks! I appreciate the responses.
I sort of over looked the .38/.357 as a possible answer. I guess I just got a little caught up in the excitement of looking to buy something new! I can't really argue against a proven performer like the .38 and her cousin the .357 mag.
I guess I'll keep my eyes open for a short barrel .357 mag to add to the inventory. Thanks!
s&w j-frame and colt first, then look at the ruger. all other brands come in third.

Get a Ruger LCR..right now if you said you could take any CC Pistol(snubby) on the market for FREE..just pick one the LCR would be my choice. NONE of the others have as nice a trigger..not even close.
Well, to be honest, I've never looked into the .327. I've always planned on getting a .38/.357. But, after reading this thread, I figured I'd take a minute to see if I could go learn a few things. A little extra knowledge never hurt.
Real Guns
I came across that article. It was interesting. Can't say I'll be buying a .327, but for anyone like myself who doesn't know anything about the round, it was a good read.

Ken Burns' documentaries always leave you feeling that, though you imagined you knew a thing or two about a historical event — the Civil War or World War II, the evolution of baseball or jazz — you'd actually been familiar with only a tiny fraction of the story. Last year when Burns told me he was working on "Prohibition," his latest film with co-director Lynn Novick, I thought, "Oh sure: Carrie Nation, speakeasies, Al Capone — I know all about that."
"This is not a documentary about gangsters and flappers," Burns told me recently when he and Novick were in Chicago for a preview screening of the movie. "Prohibition has always been treated superficially even though, when you look at it closely, it wasn't just a 13-year hiccup — it really was America's first culture war."
The three-part, six-hour series, which premieres on PBS Oct. 2, is a sweeping view of the maturation of a young America yearning to forge a collective utopian identity of sober citizens through individual activism and massive grassroots organizing. Ultimately, the effort — nearly two decades of fighting for and against the constitutional tinkering that created a nation of inebriated lawbreakers — bowed to the intractability of the nation's complex social problems, not to mention the individualistic spirit of those who were unashamed to take solace with an occasional drink.
The film takes viewers on an American odyssey that spans nearly everything from the origins of alcohol production and consumption to the rise of crooked politicians. Most importantly, the film illuminates for viewers how the aspirations, struggles and missteps of our forefathers and mothers are intimately familiar to our own present-day concerns. By looking at what happened before and after the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act went into effect to provide a large-scale government fix for convoluted social problems associated with alcoholism, we can consider the issues of our day.
Cultural fears
Some 2011 equivalents might be the efforts to combat obesity, drug abuse or smoking. Prohibition, we learn, was intimately intertwined with people's fear of cultural change. The Germans and Irish were seen as beer-swilling threats to America's ideals — they drank too much, drank the "wrong" kind of liquor, and didn't have as much self-control as "real" Americans. African-Americans were widely feared both sober and drunk and, in combination with voting rights, considered a menace. Most people don't remember that the Ku Klux Klan marched down Pennsylvania Avenue in support of Prohibition and its strict enforcement.
Alternately, though almost everyone has heard about Carrie Nation and her beer-barrel-busting hatchet, who knew she was a very marginal figure in a movement that was instigated by women tired of the ills alcohol brought to their families? "We really almost didn't include her, she was such a fringe character," Novick told me. Nation's legacy has long overshadowed the women who popularized temperance and who, upon seeing the unintended consequences of the ban, eventually led the successful movement for repeal, gaining their voting rights along the way.
Unintended consequences are really what "Prohibition" is all about. Though there was widespread support for the amendment, no one predicted what would happen once alcohol was outlawed. In fact, few advocates imagined they'd lose theirlegal access to beer and wine. And no one seemed to have thought through how they were going to deal with millions of newly criminal drinkers and the unfunded federal and state mandates to prosecute each one.
As usual, Burns and Novick take the lofty idea of "history" and weave together the million details of real people's day-to-day lives into gripping drama that feels fresh and deeply relevant to our lives now.
This is chronicle at its very best: allowing us to look back so we can more clearly look forward.

We were searching for a late model pre-owned Sienna. I'd done my homework, looked at dozens on the web in a three state radius and visited a few dealers and drove a couple. Jim White had sold a van new three years ago, serviced it regularly and then got it back as a local trade. It must of had my name on it because he priced it at the low end of comparable vehicles to move it. I called them up, made sure it had the owners manual, remotes, etc. and put down a deposit on it. The next day, my wife and I drove 150 miles (one way) to test drive it and DRIVE IT HOME! It was as the dealer represented it. Lee, our sales representative, was accommodating and friendly answering our questions but, did not pressure us. Jim White does not like to do the Toyota Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) thing and tries to sell you an optional warranty but, again did not twist my arm when I made it clear I was not buying it! Overall it was a good car buying experience and worth the trip.

How to Tell a Llama from an Alpaca
Telling the difference between a llama and an alpaca is easy -- yet, as the owner of both animals, I am constantly asked what the difference is.
Although they are both in the camelid family, llamas and alpacas are completely different animals -- with different appearances, behaviors, and personalities. Learn how to tell them apart at a glance.

Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Look at their size. Llamas are about 400 lbs., alpacas are only 150 lbs.
2Look at their ears. Llamas have long banana shaped ears, alpacas have shorter spear shaped ears.
3Next, rub it. Llamas have 2 layers of wool and alpacas only have one. Alpacas produce much nicer wool than llamas.
4Look at the legs. Alpacas have fiber down their legs and llamas do not.
5Look at the face. Alpacas have shorter faces and fiber down their face. Llamas have longer noses and the fiber stood when it reaches its ears.

A Final Farewell to Fave Summer Foods
I love the fall, but the moment I detected the crisp breeze and a certain je ne sais quoi in the air last night, I got a sad reminder that summer's end is nearing.
Then I saw my co-worker's list of "10 Foodie Things to Do Before Summer Ends," and I snapped out of my funk and got re-energized with warm weather pep to knock these all off my gastronaut to-dos!
A few of my favorites:
• Upgrade your water: Place fruit in a pitcher with coconut water instead of tap water—try combos like orange and blueberry or raspberries and lemon, or just lime or strawberries. Chill and serve with ice.
• Get creative with tomatoes: Panzanella is a classic Italian salad that's long been dominated by juicy, ripe tomatoes—it's a mix of the red beauties, day-old bread, and olive oil, salt, and herbs. But paninihappy.com's Kathy Strahs made Panzanella better, with firm grilled cheese cubes instead of bread. You can also add chunks of bacon and lettuce and call it a BLT salad.
• Put strawberries on Bruschetta:We love tomatoes, but give strawberries a chance—they're fantastic tossed with a little balsamic vinegar and basil, then spooned on goat cheese-topped bread slices.
Read 'em all here!
Thanks! You're on our list.
And your life's about to get more interesting.
Just found the worst page in the entire dictionary. What I saw was disgraceful, disgusting, dishonest, and disingenuous.

The voice of the emcee is clear on the videotape of the 1992 Florida Folk Festival that Richard has recorded and sent to me.1 She is off-camera, but the video frame shows the amphitheater's stage setup. Shading a brick floor, this wooden pavilion is the main stage at the Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park. Since its inception in 1953, the festival has been held on the banks of the Suwannee River, and it is coordinated each year during Memorial Day weekend in the small north-central town of White Springs. As Richard steps up to the microphone, which is being adjusted by a member of the sound crew, the emcee's expression becomes upbeat as she shifts from announcing that there is a lost child at the festival to introducing Richard Seaman's band.
She exclaims, "You're in for a treat now. This tall fellow in the black hat here is Richard Seaman, and I understand he's been known to tell a story or two from time to time. This could be one of those times." She laughs and continues, "And he's accompanied by Jack Piccalo—he plays fine guitar—and also by Frank Farley on bass at this moment."
Carrying his Martin D-28 guitar, Jack steps into the video frame. He walks out with Frank, who positions his string bass to the left of Richard, who is talking with the soundman who is adjusting their microphones and setting up the plug-in for Frank's upright bass.
The announcer continues her introduction to key the performance. "Now

Kitty Whitaker was appointed Hospice by the Bay's new CEO by the nonprofit's board of directors earlier this month, succeeding former CEO Sandra Lew.
Ms. Whitaker has been with Hospice by the Bay for the past 18 years, serving as chief operating officer, director of hospice services, team leader and as a hospice nurse.
"I have such respect for this organization that I'm honored to help guide its future and growth," Ms. Whitaker, RN, MS, said in a statement. "I look forward to reaching out to develop partnerships with other agencies. Hospice by the Bay offers the best in end-of-life care. I want everyone to know about our services and have access to them when needed."
Ms. Whitaker held the COO position since 2008, where she had overall responsibility for administration and oversight of Hospice by the Bay's clinical operations in Marin, San Francisco, Northern San Mateo and Sonoma counties and the city of Napa. Her experience in working with the Medicare accrediting agency, Community Health Accreditation Program, led to numerous successful re-accreditations for Hospice by the Bay, according to the nonprofit.
A Corte Madera resident, Ms. Whitaker holds a master's degree in nursing administration from UCSF. She is a member of Vistage International, a peer-to-peer membership organization for CEOs, business owners and executives of small- to mid-size businesses.
Ms. Lew had been the CEO for Hospice by the Bay for the last six years and had been with the nonprofit hospice for 12 years. She left to pursue other personal interests in her life, according to Hospice by the Bay.***
Sonoma County was awarded a $3 million grant to expand services offered through its Crisis Assessment, Prevention and Education team and the Mobile Support Team, both of which were established to improve the county's response to individuals contending with mental health crises.
The grant comes from the Investment in Mental Health Wellness Act of 2013, which is designed to increase capacity for client assistance and services in crisis intervention, crisis stabilization, crisis residential treatment, rehabilitative mental health services and mobile crisis support teams, according to announcement from the county.
"The Mobile Support Team and the CAPE Team are the best examples of how a community can come together to meet a critical need," said Third District Supervisor Shirlee Zane, who led the development of the Mobile Support Team. "Both initiatives demonstrate how government can invest upstream in our children and preventative services so that the community thrives while avoiding downstream costs in the health and criminal justice systems."
The Mobile Support Team works with law enforcement in responding to situations in which individuals are experiencing a mental health or substance abuse-related crisis. Services are currently available in Santa Rosa and Windsor. The new funding will enable expansion to Petaluma, Rohnert Park and Cotati.

What's Up Wednesday? Paper Pleating
Today, I'm hosting the weekly What's Up Wednesday Challenge over in the My Favorite Things forum on SCS. Flutter on over and play along! My challenge is to do some paper-pleating and today's card is my sample. If you need a little how-to, I've got you covered there, too. Each week, MFT also has a How'd They Do That? tutorial, and today's is, of course, paper pleating.
The image, from MFT's Nite Nite, Ellie is partly paper pieced and partly colored with Copics. I added a little shading to her paper pieced pajamas with a Prismacolor pencil, too. The ovals and circles are cut with Nestabilities, the stitching is done by machine, and the ribbon comes from Close to My Heart. The lacy trim is something I picked up at my local fabric store (Hancock Fabrics). Patterned papers are from Basic Grey's Bittersweet line.
Thanks for stopping by!
Stamps: Nite Nite Ellie (My Favorite Things)
Paper: Basic Grey Bittersweet, PTI Vintage Cream, SU Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Adirondack Espresso, Ranger Old Paper Distress Ink
Accessories: Copic markers, Prismacolor pencils, CTMH ribbon, oval and circle Nestabilities, lacy trim, Scor-Pal, foam adhesive, sewing machine

Neymar, Messi or Iniesta... who is the best dribbler in the world?Throughout history, Brazil has been widely thought of as a breeding ground for the world's most renowned dribblers. People say that the skill is in their blood as if Brazilian soccer players are dancing sambas. Pele, Garrincha, Rivelino, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Rivaldo marveled soccer fans throughout the world with their skill and flair for the game. Today, the Brazilian tradition is kept alive through one man: Neymar.
The 20-year-old Santos player already has several titles in South America and is one of the most eccentric dribblers. His technique and speed put him at a level above his opponents. In 2011, his goal against Flamengo received the Puskas award for best goal of the year. Brazil's chances in the 2014 FIFA World Cup will heavily depend on Neymar. The young man will hope to lift the title at home, something Brazil failed to achieve in 1950 when it lost to Uruguay in front of a packed crowd of 173,850 in the Maracana stadium.
Brazilians are not the only renowned dribblers of the game; the neighboring country of Argentina has also produced world-class dribblers. If Neymar's goal was the best in 2011, most pundits believe Maradona scored the best goal of all-time. In the 1986 FIFA World Cup, the Argentine dribbled past seven English players before putting the ball in the back of the net. Today, Maradona has a national successor in Lionel Messi. The Barcelona player also heavily relies on dribbling in the final third to open up space for his left-footed shots. Both Argentine players rely on their quickness to dribble past defenders.
Messi's Barca teammate Andres Iniesta is one of the classiest dribblers out there. While he is mostly known for his passing and his teamwork, the Spanish player has a unique ability to get out of complicated situations with a delicate touch of the ball. Perhaps his favorite dribble is a quick shuffling of the ball from his right to his left foot, especially when close to the end line. His dribbling skills combined with his unselfish nature, allows Iniesta to pick out teammates in scoring position. Nonetheless, he has scored crucial goals both for Spain and Barcelona stemming from his unique abilities.

Excessive state job protections unneeded
State Rep. Mike Christian, R-Oklahoma City, claims lawmakers "beat the hell out of our state employees all session." That outburst was prompted by a bill making some state employee jobs at-will positions. In other words, those government employees would face the same job security as the vast majority of Oklahomans in the private sector. Oh the humanity!
Senate Bill 1124 would change positions at 16 state agencies from classified to unclassified positions, allowing those employees to be replaced without a lengthy bureaucratic process.
This isn't unreasonable. Although merit-protection rules were intended to prevent cronyism in state hiring, their practical effect has often been to make it difficult to fire underperforming employees. In other cases, the rules make promotions difficult. And in some cases, such as the Oklahoma Department of Consumer Credit's effort to hire examiners for mortgage broker testing last year, salary regulations made it difficult to hire anyone who was qualified.
Employment at several agencies is already primarily at-will. Examples include the Insurance Department, Office of the Attorney General, the Banking Department, Office of the State Auditor and Inspector, Office of the State Treasurer and the Department of Wildlife Conservation.
Around half the employees at the Tourism and Recreation Department, one agency affected by SB 1124, are already at-will workers. Things seem to be working fine. Why should there suddenly be a problem if 100 percent of tourism employees become at-will?
Furthermore, merit-protection regulations didn't end cronyism. Around 70 percent of Department of Health positions are classified jobs, yet that agency was embroiled in a "ghost employee" scandal several years ago. At least five ex-legislators and 21 relatives of former or current legislators were on the department's payroll at that time.
Granting agency directors greater flexibility in staff management should be a net positive. We doubt many Oklahomans will pity government workers whose job security is changed to simply mirror their own.

AIBU to go to the pub 30 metres away with a video monitor.(304 Posts)
I live in a terrace of houses and ten doors down is a really nice pub that does great food. Would it be horribly irresponsible to leave the kids (8,4 and 2) home alone with a video (+audio) monitor watching the doors to the bedrooms, toilet and hallway? One of us could be home within one minute of seeing / hearing a child but in the mean time we could be sat having a couple of pints and a tasty meal with friends with a laptop/ipad on the table showing what's going on in the house.
I suspect this isn't ok and haven't suggested it to my wife yet but wanted to canvas opinions. You could get the kit to do this for ~ £100 which is what 4 baby sits would cost.
We shall have to agree to differ there. I have done this and it has been on a few occasions and yes, the monitor was there in front of us and one of us would nip out every half hour just to check on them and make sure the other person could hear clearly on the monitor.
It depends what kind of parents you are, what kind of pub you will be in, etc. Lots of factors.
And no, crossing a road is not a necessity. I could drive him and we would be much safer, protected by a steel cage. I choose to walk him to school even though I know that some of the walk is a potential hazard. I do all I can to keep him out of harm's way however.
Not every choice we make is a necessity. It's not necessary to go out and leave them at all really is it? It's not strictly necessary to get a babysitter - after all why leave them with a family friend when stats show they are more likely be abused by someone within the family? If we are to be paranoid here let's analyse the risks shall we? Babysitters pose more of a threat than abduction.
We take unnecessary risks every day. I let my 2 now aged 12 and 9 to walk alone to the shop and back. That is a risk as they could be abducted or get run over. I could go myself but I choose to send them so they can learn independence. I also let them play in the field where they make dens in the scrubbery. They could have an accident here or find some needles (there is a crack addict who lives nearby) but I choose to allow them to roam around because again, it provides them with skills.
I choose to take time out with my husband at times because this is good for our relationship and if we are happy as a couple then I believe we make better parents.
I no longer have to worry about going out and leaving them at home alone, but I have done so about 9 or 10 times in their lifetimes. As I said, in France it's more acceptable than it is here. Perhaps they have a different attitude or are simply not as paranoid.
I think if a parent has gone to the extent of buying video monitoring equipment then they are the kind of parent who would eliminate as many risk factors as they can, who would also check on their children and who would put a great deal of thought into that decision. Asking on Mumsnet for advice is another sign of a conscientous parent.
and most risk stems from something thats a necessity - ie the school run is a necessity, crossing a road is a necessity, etc etc. Leaving them unattended to get a meal and a couple of pints is not.
I still dont believe for one second that all eyes and ears would be glued to a monitor if out with friends in a pub.
TheRhubarb they have no intention of doing it as a one-off, as monitor costs price of 4 nights babysitting.
So the maths changes a little. And if it works once, why not do it every week?
I think it's a perfectly manageable risk as a one-off.
So you wouldn't hear a smoke alarm through a baby monitor? Methinks you would. So you would get pissed and not have the monitor in front of you? Quite presumptive there, not everyone goes out to get hammered, some just want a nice quiet meal with a glass of wine.
As I said before, I take my ds to school and bring him back every day crossing quite a dangerous stretch of road. Now I do that crossing 4 times a day, 5 days a week which statistically increases my risk (and I have spoken to our local councillor about making the crossing safer).
If you leave the children home alone with a monitor whilst you have a meal just a few doors down as a one-off, statistically the risks are much less. My ds is more likely to be injured on our walk to school than he is at home on the one occasion we might leave him.
It's quite mathematical really. The risk lies only in peoples perception of it. You think it must be more dangerous to leave them with a monitor and so this increases the risk in your mind. Yet if you think of all the worst case scenarios and take measures to prevent them whilst mathematically calculating the risk, you'll find it is in fact quite safe.
I would not do it on a regular basis but if a couple did this as a one-off, so long as they did a proper risk assessment. I don't think it's anything to get hysterical about.
I thought you were serious for a second then hafen! Bloomin eckers
Quietlysuggests, it could be a one off though, OP said could get a monitor for price of 4 nights of babysitting, so would need to do it at least 5 times (at the same pub) to make it worth while at all..
Yep, it must be fine after all.
There you go, OP. Hafen's on your side.
Yanbu we go to the pub most nights and leave the kids 3 and5 on there own without fancy gadgets, £100 seems pricey for the gear that would get you 30 pints at our local
As a slightly tipsy aside, do you want to hear what nasty fuckers wasps are? I once swatted a wasp when DS was a baby and pretty much mashed it. Stomped off feeling very righteous and mother-lion-ish, having protected my darling PFB. Came back an hour or so later to find the head, a few legs and some goo still crawling determinedly along the landing. Nasty, nasty fuckers.
But there's no way the parents actually WOULD be constantly watching the monitor while drinking and having a meal. And if a child got up and fell down the stairs while you were alseep youd hear them but if youve not been watching the monitor like a hawk then you wouldn't know it had happened til you got home. I know which is preferable to me.
I don't understand. I am not supporting the OP on his original idea, I think it's a bit silly. However the reactions of people have been much worse...
So the child could get out of bed?
Yes, but this could happen with you in the house. This could happen while you're asleep and there would be nothing you could do about it. Surely it would be better to be watching on camera and actually see said event happen?
Surely all of the consequences mentioned could still happen? Just without the parents watching them?
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
eh? What did I say that was so appalling?
thanks ForgetfulMog.
Ob, there was no need for that. I assume you thought I was criticising by default mothers who leave their kids in any way? No. Not at all - wish I could o the same! I was responding to a comment by Tee that said she couldn't imagine anyone staying with their baby all the time in the first six months.
That was all - no motive behind my post apart from to say that yes we exist.
My reasons aren't particularly idealistic - just I'm a SAHM, a single parent and he cries a lot.
(though it did mean a wasted cot! which ironically I passed on to you when we had finished with it...)
Re the smoke alarm going off - the difference with being in the garden is that you'd hear it. Do you really believe you'd definitely hear a smoke alarm through a monitor in a busy pub?
Yes it's about weighing up risk - and I personally wouldn't risk being far enough away that I couldn't hear them or at least be with them IF something happened
Meringue33, we can spend our lives being paranoid. I know of a fatal accident at a crossing I use every day involving a pedestrian and many more involving cars. It's a notoriously dangerous spot yet ds and I cross it every morning on the way to school and back again every afternoon. It's a risk I take. Others might decide that it was too risky and they would drive. Overall I feel the benefits of us both walking, getting fresh air and exercise outweigh the risks of us being injured by car accidents whilst we are crossing.
You would have to look at your own individual circumstances. If you were enjoying a BBQ at the bottom of the garden and heard the smoke alarm it would probably take you the same time to reach the house as it would if you were in a pub a few doors down. There would be seconds, not minutes, in it.
I would look at how many smoke alarms I had, what fire risks I had, etc.
Hmm but your reenage baby sitter is a minor too.They should not be to putting themselves in any danger saving your Dc in a fire.Remember you are just as responsible for the teenaged sitter as your own children.
TheRhubarb - fires can take hold in seconds. I don't think fires are rare, I know three households who experienced a major fire, in two there were fatalities.
I don't think it necessary to criticise a mum for not cutting the umbilical cord tantrums.
Hey, what do I know though
yes because it would be wrong to "attack" someone posting about how they parent, even if you disagree with it wouldnt it................................?
Oblomov - harsh reaction to Orlakiely, I don't think you need to be so rude. Lucky you being able to go out when your baby was under 6 months - my dd is 7 mo & for the first 3 months I had to carry her in a sling everywhere as she would scream as soon as I put her down. Things are now a little easier but she still much prefers to be in the same room as me & still naps & sleeps on me.
I don't think it necessary to attack someone like that
It's a matter of culture perhaps.
We lived in France where parents would take their eldest to school leaving the babies at home in cots. When we asked neighbours over the square to babysit they turned up, set the baby alarm up and went back over to their house!
It's all a question of risk too.
For me the stats on babysitters who have abused their position are much higher than the stats on children who have been abducted. If your child is going to be abducted or abused then this is much more likely to be perpetrated by someone you know. Stranger kidnappings are so rare that people can still only think of Madeleine McCann who was taken from Portugal almost 10 years ago.
Fire risk - yes there is one but if a house is fitted with smoke alarms and everything is turned off then you have minimised that risk. To my mind, being 10 doors down is no different to being at the bottom of the garden. A smoke alarm would alert you to a fire way before you saw any smoke.
A good baby alarm doesn't just pick up sound, you can now get ones with video monitors and which record breathing. That also lessens the risk.
I would far rather have a video baby monitor on my child than hire a babysitter who I might not know.
But then I might consider other things to be a risk that other parents would happily do, like letting primary school kids have a sleepover with friends. I wait until secondary school before I start sleepovers. I wouldn't threaten those who have a different perception than me with social services though on the basis that their friends' parents might be child abductors.

Spence White tied a team-high three goals in the 14-12 victory over Pacific for fifth-place at the MPSF Tournament.
Nov. 25, 2012
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The 49ers concluded their season on a high-note defeating Pacific 14-12 at the McDonald Swim Stadium for fifth-place at the MPSF Tournament Sunday afternoon.
With the victory, the 2012 squad finished with an overall record of 24-8 and 4-4 in conference play and becomes the second-most successful squad in school history. This year's team only trials the 1981 team that finished with a 25-9 overall record and 6-0 in conference play including a second-place finish at the NCAA Tournament.
Balint Meszaros recorded eight goals for the 49ers and finished with 284 saves to become Long Beach State's all-time leader for saves in a single-season surpassing Derek Wiebe-Bailey's record of 282 from 2008.
The 49ers got off to a 3-1 after Spencer White slammed in a goal from the two-meter area at 4:41 but the Tigers would respond with a 4-1 of their own to finish out the first period. The 49ers picked up three-consecutive rebounds and ate up over a minute of game-clock but couldn't complete the entry pass to Devin Mefford on their fourth possession. White gave the 49ers a 5-4 going into the second period scoring again in the two-meter zone with two seconds remaining.
True freshman Nolan McConnell had a great steal for the LBSU at the 4:55 mark in the second to keep the Tigers from scoring after Balazs Erdeyli got past Brian Schiefer on a spin move in the two-meter zone. White fired a goal in at 5:21 in the second on a Milos Vrzic pass from the corner to give the 49ers a 6-5 lead. Erdelyi had a one-on-one opportunity against Meszaros but hit the top cross-bar and led to a Devin Mefford goal at the two-meter to put Long Beach State up 7-6 with 3:26 to play on the counter-attack. Pacific's Sean Grady would score his only goal at 1:59 to tie the match up at seven apiece heading into the half.
Dan Matulis and McConnell scored on back-to-back possession for the 49ers but the UOP would respond with a pair of goals of its own. McConnell capped off another back-to-back scoring possession for Long Beach State, this time with a lob shot at 1:40 in the third period. The Tigers tied things back up at 11 with six seconds remaining in the third on a 6-on-5 advantage after Matulis was rolled with 16 seconds left on the clock.
Mefford fired in a canon in front of the cage after rebounding McConnell's shot mid-air to put the 49ers back up 12-11 with 6:57 left on the clock. Carter Taylor scored from the point to put LBSU up by two with 3:56 left to play.
Dimitrios Lappas got a crucial steal for the 49ers in the four-meter zone as McConnell scored the ensuing play to record his hat trick and extended the 49ers to three. Erdeyli recorded the lone goal for UOP in the final frame as Long Beach State held on for the 14-12 victory.

Slingerz levels with Jamaican Boystown FC 1-1
Slingerz FC and Boystown FC, Jamaica, played to an exciting 1-1 draw when the Vizion Sports and Entertainment Agency Caribbean Inter-club football matches commenced on Wednesday at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) ground, Bourda.
In a fixture highlighted by physical play and intermittent power outages, the Vergenoegen team opened the scoring in the 19th minute through an Anthony Abrams conversion down the middle of the goal from inside the penalty box.
A lobbed pass from the midfield to Devon Millington just outside the 18- yard box led to a terrible mistake by the Boystown custodian, as he failed to make contact with the ball upon rushing off his line to clear, allowing Abrams to pounce on a loose ball unmarked and score.
André Dawson should have levelled the scores in the 37th minute for the Jamaican side, only to be denied by last ditch defending on the part of the Slingerz rear guard.
Lurking inside the centre of the penalty box, Dawson upon collecting a right-sided pass, had his initial and rebounded right-footed strikes denied by the outstretched legs of the Slingerz defenders.
The open nature of the fixture continued following the start of the second period with the Vergenoegen side guilty of wasting a glorious chance of doubling their lead in the 56th minute.
Racing into the penalty box from the left side of the field, Millington placed his effort narrowly over the crossbar from just outside the six-yard area, after collecting a perfectly placed Anthony Abrams flat left-sided cross.
A moment of sheer quality from Rafiek Thomas almost brought parity back to the proceedings in the 67th minute for the visitors.
Receiving a pass just inside the centre of the penalty box, Thomas skipped past his marker with his deft footwork before lashing his flat right-footed attempt wide of the right post, with only the keeper standing in his way.
However a goalkeeping blunder by Richard Reynolds led to the deserved equaliser in the 90th minute as Peter Keys etched his name on the score sheet.
Standing outside the penalty area, Keys struck his lobbed effort from a poorly cleared free kick into the empty net, after Reynolds rushed off his line recklessly in a failed attempt to prevent the threat.
After the timely equaliser, further misery befell the local side as Clive Nobrega was shown a straight red card in the 90th +2 minute of injury time for striking an opposing player.
The action continues today at the Buxton Ground, East Coast Demerara from 6.00pm with a doubleheader. In the opening fixture, Alpha United and Slingerz FC will rekindle their rivalry in an eagerly anticipated matchup.
In the feature contest at 8.00pm, home-side Buxton United will battle the Jamaican Boystown FC.

In his State of the Union address and again at Boise State days later, the President called on more employers to adopt or expand measures to help workers gain the skills and credentials to advance into better paying jobs – including by expanding registered apprenticeships, increasing uptake of tuition benefit programs that pay for a worker to complete their college education, offering on-the-job training for career progression, and increasing access to technology-enabled learning tools.

I will be 10 weeks pregnant tomorrow. When i was 8 weeks & 4 days i saw a grayish mucus that looked like M&M choc cut into half (which i wasn't sure was from the rectum or vagina). I did call my doctor then & she said she wouldn't worry since she checked the heartbeat just the day before. But i was always tensed. Now it is almost 1.5 weeks and i have had no bleeding or cramping since then. I do have very minor cramping sometimes but i have always had some stretching type pains once in a while. I know this is worrying too much but had it been some other color i might not have thought so much about it.Please let me know what you all think. Thanks all
10 weeks pregnant. Saw grauish mucus at 8 weeks and 4 days
Comments (4)
I hate to be the downer , but just 3 months ago the same thing happened to me , if I were you insist on an ultrasound !! My dr had me got to sleep and call him in the morning that next morning the ultrasound showed a heart beat and then I lost the twins about 2 hrs later .. They wouldnt see me because all of my prior preg were "normal" If you have a concern make sure it gets fully addressed , I wish you the best of luck let us know what happens !!
SAHM and Theatre Director
So was it brownish or looked like gray matter? Was it a clot you passed? I don't understand your description with the M & M-
Sound the Alarms- DS 05' & DS 07' & DS 09' #3 on the way!
It is probably just old blood. I spotted brown for two weeks and that is supposed to be normal, but I still got nervous. As long as it isn't red you are probably okay. The mucus most likely just came from your mucus plug. I seem to have a little bit of mucus when I push really hard due to constipation. I have been trying not to push as much, but it really sucks when you feel like you have to go, but can't. Anyway call your doctor just in case, but they will probably just tell you to call back if the spotting turns red.
I remember a grayish dishcharge with my second pregnancy and she was healthy. It is also normal to even spot that early in pregnancy due to implantation..I agree though that you should call he docor anytime you worry...It will reassure you even if everything is ok.

WASHINGTON (WJLA) - FedEx Field may no longer be home to the Washington Redskins, if team owner Dan Snyder gets his wish.
In an interview with Comcast SportsNet, Snyder said the team has "started the process" of designing a new stadium that he hopes will open "sooner rather than later."
Snyder did not specify whether the new stadium would be in D.C., Maryland or Virginia, but said he wanted it to have a retro feel, like FedEx Field's predecessor, RFK Stadium.
"I'm going to be very retro with it," he said. "It's gonna feel like RFK."
The Redskins owner believes the team's days at FedEx Field are over.
"It's 17 years old now. So, I think it's time for us to start looking and we're doing it," he said.
Snyder also has dreams that the new stadium will one day host a Super Bowl, saying, "This region deserves a Super Bowl It's the biggest sporting event in the globe. In the nation's capitalit's a no-brainer."

Wireshark's New 1.2
Wireshark 1.2 introduces a few "new and exciting" features for its network protocol analyzer software.
Wireshark's trend in its new release is toward geo-targeting features: the tool now does GeoIP database lookups on demand for geographic locations for IP addresses and integrates the results with OpenStreetMap. Printing them out is now easier with improved PostScript support.
Wireshark 1.2 also saves the last used configuration profile, compares IP packets and has Capinfos show the average packet rate. With Pcap-ng, it supports the next-generation capture file format. Also on board is the c-ares library, written in C, that resolves DNS names asynchronously and has claimed advantages over the GNU project's ADNS library. Not least of all, the new Wireshark includes new protocol support and recognizes more data formats than version 1.0.
The more visible features include a "spiffy" new start page, a 64-bit Windows installer and a more workable Mac OS version. A whole list of features and updates are on the project page, with the source code available from the download page.

End Plugs and Stick Glue
These Hockey Shaft/Stick End Plugs are designed to fit into traditional shaft dimensions and add either 8" or 12" to the length of your stick.

Shaving down your traditional end plug will no longer be necessary as the corners and have been reduced and rounded out to fit almost any shaft or stick.
The Better Butt End Hockey Shaft/Stick End Plugs offers a unique angled grip that allows for a more natural stick position. A more natural grip position will improve comfort, control and power. Available in several degrees to suit your playing stance.Colors: 2
The Bauer Vapor 1X Composite End Plug perfectly fits the Senior Bauer Vapor 1X sticks and shafts, and may also fit other brands' sticks and shafts. The 1X end plug uses the same TeXtreme™ carbon fiber construction and shaft dimensions as the 1X sticks to ensure the best possible fit in a lightweight package.
The Bauer Supreme 1S Composite End Plug gives players 4" of added extension in their Bauer Supreme 1S, S190 and S180 senior sticks. Bauer used their signature Textreme carbon fiber and built it to marry up perfectly with the previously listed sticks and shafts.
The Bauer Supreme TotalONE MX3 Composite End Plug is a carbon fiber stick extension specifically designed for the 2014 Bauer Supreme series. This extension adds 4" to the length of your stick without adding much additional weight. The TeXtreme® carbon fiber provides a consistent lightweight feel compared to wooden end plugs.

When used in conjunction with the app, the sensor can wirelessly communicate up to 5,000 shots with a cell phone via bluetooth. Once the shots have been uploaded, the FWD Sportscard app neatly displays meaningful info like stick speed, flex gain, duration, angle, weight transfer and rotation speed.

The end plug is constructed of a high-quality carbon fiber that does not add much weight but is perfect for a player who needs to add just a little more height to their stick or shaft.
