Stress-testing U.S. bank holding companies: a dynamic panel quantile regression approach
We propose an econometric framework for estimating capital shortfalls of bank holding companies (BHCs) under pre-specified macroeconomic scenarios. To capture the nonlinear dynamics of bank losses and revenues during periods of financial stress, we use a fixed effects quantile autoregressive (FE-QAR) model with exogenous macroeconomic covariates, an approach that delivers a superior out-of-sample forecasting performance compared with the standard linear framework. According to the out-of-sample forecasts, the realized net charge-offs during the 2007-09 crisis are within the multi-step-ahead density forecasts implied by the FE-QAR model, but they are frequently outside the density forecasts generated using the corresponding linear model. This difference reflects the fact that the linear specification substantially underestimates loan losses, especially for real estate loan portfolios. Employing the macroeconomic stress scenario used in CCAR 2012, we use the density forecasts generated by the FE-QAR model to simulate capital shortfalls for a panel of large BHCs. For almost all institutions in the sample, the FE-QAR model generates capital shortfalls that are considerably higher than those implied by its linear counterpart, which suggests that our approach has the potential for detecting emerging vulnerabilities in the financial system.

What's the best RACK MOUNTED, BATTERY OPERATED taillight?
I rather go with batteries for the taillight rather than run wiring from the front dynamo hub.
I currently have (or did till the front popped off somewhere along the road) a Planet Bike Super Flash. Not the greatest solution for a rack though since it's tall. I need one of the horizontal lights that are really meant for mounting on a rear rack.

Mississippi's governor and attorney general must decide whether to challenge a federal appeals court ruling that's keeping the state's only abortion clinic open.
A 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled 2-1 Tuesday to block a 2012 Mississippi law requiring abortion doctors to obtain admitting privileges at nearby hospitals.
During an interview after his speech at the fair Wednesday, Attorney general Jim Hood said he doesn't know yet whether the state will appeal.
"We're reading the opinion and will make a consideration on that," said Hood. "We'll probably make a decision by sometime next week. "
When Gov. Phil Bryant signed the law, he said he hoped it would end abortion in the state.
In defending the law, state attorneys said women with unwanted pregnancies could always travel to other states. But the judges ruled every state must guarantee constitutional rights, including abortion.

Celebrating Stonewall(s)
Stone walls run the gamut from beau to faux. They say a lot about a house and garden before you even get to the front door.
Stone walls come in many shapes and sizes. Some aren't stone at all, but concrete poured and scored to "look like stone." Some are nearly boulders, piled roughly as if they belong on a mountainside. Others are carefully constructed puzzles fitting together thin and elegant slabs of granite. Still others are craggy concrete, jackhammered up from a driveway and frugally, sustainably repurposed as a chunky slab wall.
They all serve a special purpose: to delineate the space around a house, create an entrance and border, and perhaps hold up a mound of earth as well. The reasons for a wall vary, but a stone wall provides a solidity and permanence that fences just can't. Renaissance architects building urban palaces in Florence knew this, creating imposing rusticated ground floors for the palazzi that the 1% lived in.

Tallahassee, FL - 85 percent of all the Oxycodone sold in the US comes from Florida. That's because drug dealers know they can go to South Florida, visit half a dozen pain clinics, and load up on prescription painkillers.
An estimated seven people overdose on prescription drugs and die everyday in Florida. People are also dying in other states from drugs purchased here.
Last year State Senator Mike Fasano passed legislation creating a prescription drug database to target people who go from doctor to doctor to load up on pain killers.
"People come from all over the United States to get prescription drugs, to get narcotics, to either use them or sell them on the street," said Fasano.
Earlier this year, Governor Rick Scott announced plans to nix the database, first calling it a waste of money. Now saying…
"I don't support the database. I believe it's an invasion of privacy," said Scott.
Scott's opposition to the database is drawing attention at the highest levels. The US Drug Czar has been trying to meet with Scott to talk about how Florida's lack of regulation is affecting law enforcement officers in other states. The US Drug Czar was in Tallahassee Thursday, hoping to meet with Scott.
"I've reached out to the governor. I haven't heard back from him yet, but I understand with all that's going on in the state," said US Drug Czar Gil Kerkilowske.
But there wasn't much on Scott's schedule while the Czar was in town, just two items: staff/call time and 30 minutes of economic development meetings.
Talks of a meeting are still ongoing. We made a public records request for communications between the Drug Czar and the Governor's Office. Our request has yet to be satisfied.

Sanhinda Ingirisi-
Sinhala Maha
Volume 1and Volume 11
Prof Sucharita Gamlath
Printed and published:
Sanhinda Printers and Publishers
Price: Rs.10,000.00
The largest ever English Sinhala Dictionary in the history of
lexicons in Sri Lanka, Ingirisi Sinhala Maha Shabdakoshaya was launched
recently at the BMICH Colombo, the venue also for the 11th International
Book Fair 2009.
Perfect timing for the launch of the two-volume lexicon; any more
publicity would not have been needed to get the message across. And for
decades, there has been a greatly felt need for a comprehensive
dictionary among the Sinhala learners, scribes, readers and the like who
seek knowledge and information available in English.
Lexicographer is Professor Sucharitha Gamlath, a retired university
don of many disciplines and an erudite of several oriental and
occidental languages. The printer and publisher is Upul Shantha
Sannasgala (Sanhinda Printers and Publishers Pvt. Ltd.).
The dictionary claims to consist more than 500,000 words. Of them
about 100,000 words are new entries - some of which the lexicographer
coined or added, combing Sinhala classical literature or folklore. In
the introducing pages in Volume 1, he cites some of the words he has
thus added.Eg. For the term pot-bellied, his choice of the Sinhala word
is mahodara, a word from Sri Lankan Buddhist literature. The Buddha, in
one of his journeys to the island has reconciled a war between two yakka
brothers chulodara and mahodara, 'the small- bellied and the pot
-bellied'. The two terms for the English word 'pigeon' in the dictionary
are para pathaya and kalareviya found in Parevi Sandesa Kavyaya, a work
of poetry from Kotte Period. Kiriththama for 'craft,' visaharuva for
'antidote', pirivahanava for 'recite' and parammarana for 'posthumous'
are some of the many new words one would find here.
'Spelling rules' is an important section where English spelling rules
are explained with examples: a useful section in the dictionary for a
student of Sinhala medium learning the language or to any other learner
who would wish to dispel any point of doubt in the usage of the
History of lexicography, History of Sinhala Language, The Tree of
Indo-European languages and Phonetics of Sinhala Language, are valuable
sources for any learner doing higher studies in the langyage.The
nineteen appendices provide the learner with general knowledge, be it
for writing or for any other purpose in day-to-day usage of the
language; Birds of Sri Lanka, Botanical Names of SriLanka, American and
British English, Properties of the Elements, to mention a few. One more
section of terminology in computer technology has added to the richness
of the lexicon.
Indisputably, this is the most comprehensive and modern dictionary
available to a Sinhala learner today since the publication of
Malalasekera Sinhala Ingrisi Shabdakoshaya in 1949 compiled and edited
by Professor G. P. Malalasekera and published by Gunasena and Co. Ltd.
This dictionary has gone into several editions by now serving thousands
of students, academics as well as many other users. Notwithstanding, as
the years went by with the new editions the dictionary did not grow
significantly in the number of new words. The words added in a couple of
editions were woefully few in spite of the editing tasks handled by a
reputed learned panel, some of them being senior university professors
and language pundits.
It was some three decades ago when Professor Sucharitha Gamlath
started compiling the dictionary on the insistence of his well-meaning
friends as well as the call of his conscience. Many hardships, pecuniary
difficulties, in addition to the problems he had to grapple with in
connection with his university profession came his way during the years.
They would have been the benign tests of his power of endurance and
sanity. At the end, he accomplished the epoch-making task!
Upul Shantha Sannasgala should be congratulated for undertaking the
daunting task of printing and publishing the two volumes. Investing on a
task of this nature would not bring you quick dividends; no any quicker
than a love story-novel targeting the young readers of today's teledrama
viewer generation!
Nontheless, there are two glaring drawbacks on the part of the
One, the high price of the dictionary Rs.10, 000.
If the genuine motive was serving the learning community in the
country, which was symbolic in the act of presenting the first copies to
two school-going young people by the publisher at the launch, the
lexicon should have been marked and sold for half the current price, Rs.
5000 or a little more, which an average middle-class parent would bear
even with difficulty for the sake of his/her child's education.
The quality of the volumes, more specifically the quality of the
printing paper used, is also not satisfactory. The paper would not
resist the constant turning of pages for references in the long run;
moreover, it pauses the question of durability of the heavy volumes,
1204 pages and 2404 pages respectively. The transparent quality of the
flimsy paper results in blurring the view on the surface page.

Congenital indifference to pain (CIP) is a rare condition in which patients have severely impaired pain perception, but are otherwise essentially normal. We identified and collected DNA from individuals from nine families of seven different nationalities in which the affected individuals meet the diagnostic criteria for CIP. Using homozygosity mapping and haplotype sharing methods, we narrowed the CIP locus to chromosome 2q24–q31, a region known to contain a cluster of voltage-gated sodium channel genes. From these prioritized candidate sodium channels, we identified 10 mutations in the SCN9A gene encoding the sodium channel protein Nav1.7. The mutations completely co-segregated with the disease phenotype, and nine of these SCN9A mutations resulted in truncation and loss-of-function of the Nav1.7 channel. These genetic data further support the evidence that Nav1.7 plays an essential role in mediating pain in humans, and that SCN9A mutations identified in multiple different populations underlie CIP.

The acre of land is now just an open field with restaurants nearby, but the price tag is one of the highest in the area at $1 million.
The price isn't just because of what's been built nearby, including an Interstate 65 exit, Walmart supercenter, grocery store and shopping centers. The number of vehicles that stop at the busy intersection and hundreds of nearby homes with families who need a place to grab a meal or pick up groceries also have helped drive up the price.
The land around County Line Road and Emerson Avenue is some of the priciest currently for sale, and developers think it will sell because the intersection attracts thousands of people every day. State traffic counts show 100,000 vehicles pass the exit at County Line Road on I-65 every day, and that doesn't include local traffic that never gets on the highway.
But a busy road isn't the only factor that goes into the price of land.
Consider these properties on State Road 135: Lots at Whiteland Road in Bargersville will cost a developer $82,000 per acre; but drive two miles north to Stones Crossing Road, and the price per acre triples to $263,000. Head another two miles north to the highly developed Smith Valley Road intersection, and the price nearly triples again to $667,000 per acre.
If land is in a high-traffic area, the price typically shoots up. A high traffic-intersection, a plot near an interstate exit or an outlot for a big-box store or shopping center all will have a higher price because they attract the most potential customers, said Ross Reller, senior vice president and director of land services for Colliers International's Indiana region. Developers will pay a premium for a corner lot if they know thousands of people will cross through that intersection every day.
Businesses are willing to pay more if they have some indication that the location will be the most profitable spot for their company, Reller said. In the process of opening a new business, land costs make up only a small portion of the overall cost. Paying $1 million for an outlot near Target in the Center Grove area might sound high for 1.5 acres of land, but it's a small amount compared to the cost of building and the long-term expense of staffing and maintaining a restaurant or coffee shop, he said.
"There's an old saying that retailers would rather pay a retail price for land and be correct than speculate on a bargain price and be wrong," Reller said. "There's really no bargain in cheap land if you can't use it."
Lots near County Line Road and Emerson Avenue in Greenwood approach $1 million per acre because of Walmart, the nearby I-65 exit, Franciscan St. Francis Health-Indianapolis hospital and other shops already open nearby, said John Cunningham of Allen Commercial Group, which is listing the land.
Whenever retail businesses look for land in Greenwood, they all want to be near Greenwood Park Mall first, since it's the biggest attraction in the city, Cunningham said. But there's no available land there, and most of the retail space around Southport Road also is filled, he said. So developers are now starting to target County Line Road, where they can attract drivers off the interstate, he said. A new hotel and sports complex proposed east of the interstate exit would help increase interest in the nearby land, he said.
"That intersection continues to be phenomenal. Obviously the announcement on the other side of the interstate is helpful. Those people are going to need places to eat and shop. The land prices have done well there," Cunningham said.
He said areas without an anchor store, without high traffic or lacking large residential areas nearby have lower price tags and are slower to develop because companies are extremely cautious on where they locate, especially after the recession.
For example, the former grocery store at U.S. 31 and Whiteland Road is probably the best available retail spot in Whiteland, Cunningham said. But the national companies he's contacted about the site are concerned about traffic counts on nearby roads and that there aren't enough homes nearby. The most recent subdivision in Whiteland was developed in 2005.
The land at the town's main intersection is listed for about $536,000 per acre because it's a highly visible location, but it doesn't have enough features to be as valuable as some of the County Line Road sites, he said.
"The outlying areas will come back. A lot of retailers felt like they overextended themselves when everything was growing so fast and they got into locations that were problematic for them," Cunningham said.
Land prices along State Road 135 exemplify how current development, traffic and nearby homes affect prices. Companies want to find locations north of Smith Valley Road, which already has several big-box stores and large residential areas, Cunningham said. Since almost all of that land has been developed, outlots such as one at Target, have high price tags. Otherwise, he said, companies have to buy existing space, like where ALDI is building at the former Pizza King and Dannemiller True Value sites.
As development tapers off farther south on the highway, land prices drop with it. Reller is listing lots around South Grove Landing Shoppes at Whiteland Road, which are priced at $82,000 per acre. The shopping center and nearby CVS store are a good start at developing the intersection, but the surrounding area is still rural.
The land can be a good investment for someone who wants to buy early because brokers expect development of new homes and businesses will continue south along the highway. But it's risky now because there isn't as much development, he said. The nearby subdivisions were developed in the mid-2000s, but building has increased recently around Hickory Stick Golf Course west of the intersection.

Hydrate | Protect
Diffuse redness and soothe rough, flaky skin on contact with this patented lotion. It gently neutralizes and protects dry, irritated skin by minimizing redness with color correcting tint and shielding against sun irritation.
I really wanted to like it, the green color feels like it minimizes redness a bit... but leaves skin shiny. It feels like it absorbs well and feels good on your skin, but I was shiny all day :( I would buy again if not for that.
I am an African-American male with rosacea. Most moisturizers emphasis the red in my skin.
I agree, the Murad Correcting Moisturizer does tone down the redness of my skin. In fact, it is the only sun screen that works for me. My skin absorbs it quickly and a little bit does the job.
My allergies appreciate the gentle citrus fragrance. No fragrance would have been better, but I have no issues with the lite citrus. The sun screen is very effective too. There is no irritation.
The only negative is the price.
got absolutely no benefits at all from this product--worthless, at least to me
Every day after applying treatment, massage evenly over face and neck.

"It's rewarding when I recommend physical therapy or home exercise, and patients really buy into that and give it their all. Frequently, that's all they need to start feeling better and being more active. Pretty soon, those patients are participating in more physical activities they enjoy doing, and finding it improves their mood, their energy and their whole outlook on life. The other thing I really enjoy is performing interventional procedures. People often tell me that they can't believe how quick and relatively painless the procedure was, and they wish they would have done it sooner. Oftentimes I am able to help patients find significant relief without resorting to surgery or chronic medications."
Specialty Care for Pain Management
Dr. Rasmussen specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation with a focus on pain management through exercise, physical therapy and interventional procedures. He provides expertise for patients with lower back, neck, muscle and joint pain. He helps patients understand the options and works with patients to develop the best treatment plan. He recommends the appropriate use of exercise, medications and injections to help manage pain.
Specialty Training and Experience
Dr. Rasmussen is fellowship trained in interventional pain management and performs multiple pain-relieving and diagnostic procedures. Interventional procedures include:
Personal Interests and Background
An avid fitness enthusiast, Dr. Rasmussen relates to patients through his own personal experiences and injuries. On most days, the first thing he does after work is exercise, working on his own strength and fitness while testing rehabilitation protocols, specific mobility work or stretching exercises. He in turn uses this experience to benefit his patients.
His interest in physical medicine and rehabilitation came from his own path to recovery. While weightlifting in college, he suffered a lower back injury. He was told there was no surgery recommended and to take anti-inflammatory medication. A year later, still in pain, he met and was evaluated by a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist at his medical school. After a thorough examination and exercise recommendations from this physician, Dr. Rasmussen subsequently recovered without medications or surgery. This experience led Dr. Rasmussen to pursue a career in physical medicine and pain management.

The Nihon Ki-in has just released an English version of Cho-U's 4×4 Go Puzzle. Cho-U 9P came up with all of the problems for the program, and has developed a clever system for introducing go to young children. The app is available for iPhone and iPad, and is being offered on the App Store at an introductory rate of just 99 cents, until October 19th, when the price will increase to $2.99. The app introduces a colorful cast of cartoon characters, including Minigo, a black cat, and Diego, a big white dog who is taking over the playground and won't let the cats into his territory. Children can enter story mode for flash animations that teach the basic principles of go as part of the cat's quest to get back to the playground. The graphics are terrific, and the stones are cats and dogs. When "stones" are in atari, they shake and shiver (this can be turned off in settings for a bigger challenge). The story is interactive, and kids are asked to help Minigo solve various problems as he confronts various opponents. Players can also go to the free and challenge levels, where they can solve go problems directly. The board size is limited to 4×4, but Cho-U has made very clever puzzles within this limitation. Many of the problems revolve around seki, and you can choose what level to play with, or progress through the levels as you improve. Players can also buy more problems for the program, which come with all new festive graphics. The Snack Pack problem set gets you 100 problems, with chocolate and pink frosted donuts for pieces. The Rainy Pack and the North Pole Pack offer additional cute themes and more complicated problems. I bought the Rainy Pack for .99 and was charmed by frogs and snails playing on a lily pad field; the first problems I tried revolved around snapback. This app is perfect for kids from 5 to 10 years old, and even older kids will enjoy some of the more challenging problems. -Paul Barchilon, E-J Youth Editor. Picture courtesy of the Nihon Ki-in.

Fox Chapel Elementary Tops First DC Metro Area School Go Tournament
Monday October 1, 2012
Fox Chapel Elementary School from Germantown, Maryland topped a field of three schools in the First DC Metropolitan Area School Go Tournament on September 29, winning 7 out of 8 games. The DC School Tournament, organized by American Go Honor Society (AGHS) President Justin Teng (back left) and Vice-President Julian Erville (back right), is a youth tournament that promotes strengthening the youth go community between local schools in DC, Virginia, and Maryland. Gary Smith, organizer of the NOVA Go Club, hosted the tournament at George Mason University in Arlington, VA, and provided all of the equipment and pairings that made the tournament possible. Division winners of the tournament were Hank Chen 9k (1st) from Richard Montgomery High School and Ben Withbroe 4k (2nd) from Albert Einstein High School in the upper division, and Eric Zhang 24k (front right) 1st and Mulan Liu 22k (front left) 2nd, both from Fox Chapel Elementary School in the lower division. Player's ages ranged from 8 to 17; Mulan Liu and Eric Zhang are in 3rd and 4th grade respectively, while Hank Chen and Ben Withbroe are in 11th and 12th grade respectively. "Plans are being made for the second DC Metropolitan Area School Go Tournament in spring 2013, so if you're a student and in the area, get ready!" say organizers Justin Teng and Julian Erville. photo by Gary Smith
New Go Comics on Tiger's Mouth
Monday September 24, 2012
The American Go Federation's (AGF) youth website, tigersmouth.org, is publishing new comic strips weekly again. The most recent addition is Aji's Quest, by Collette Bezio, which features the adventures of a quoll named Aji and a tanuki named Tenuki. What's a quoll? Good question. To find out, check out the new strip here. Bezio runs an AGF program at her library, in Seymour WI, and is a writer as well as an artist. You can see more of her work on her website. The Better Move is another new comic available on Tiger's Mouth. Deftly illustrated by Maryland cartoonist Yi Weng, in a Chinese brush painting style, the strip features mini comics on different go themes. Liberty races, capturing the cranes in their nest, and how to play first capture go have all had their own stips, and the monkey jump is coming out soon. Tiger's Mouth will keep adding new strips weekly for the next few months, so check in on Saturdays for the latest updates. -Paul Barchilon, E-J Youth Editor.

AGF College Scholarship
Monday September 17, 2012
Applications are now being accepted for the American Go Foundation college scholarship. One of last year's winners, Rachel Daley (at left), writes: "I found that I was better at teaching the game than actually playing. Without even realizing it, I became more confident with strangers. . . . Go also taught me how to be comfortable in a room where I was the only female. I saw [the male players] as my peers and rivals instead of some different entity. This gave me the confidence to never feel intimidated by the male majority in my science and math classes. . . . I realized that this is how society changes – not by a sudden huge wave but by individuals not accepting degrading stereotypes and moving forward despite them." The AGF Scholarship recognizes high school students who have served as important youth organizers and promoters for the go community . To apply, download and complete the application form here. Applicants should describe their accomplishments and volunteer work in a short essay. Letters of recommendation may also be included. Students whose enthusiasm and ambition have helped spread go in under-served areas will be given special consideration. Strong players who spend much of their time voluntarily teaching will also be considered, although the award focuses on promoters and organizers who have made substantial contributions during their go career. A report on last year's winners can be found here. - Paul Barchilon, E-J Youth Editor.

Hikaru Author Hotta Yumi Interviewed
Monday September 3, 2012
Hikaru no Go author Hotta Yumi was interviewed on film at the International Go Symposium on August 5th, 2012. For those who missed the live stream, the Tiger's Mouth website has printed the entire text of the interview. The AGF is currently editing the videos from the symposium, all of which will be available online at a later date. A few choice highlights from the Hotta interview are below, you can read the full article here.
On how the series began, Hotta says "I wanted to learn go, so I paid a go school and started to attend classes once a week with a pro. He was mean, and never let the students win the teaching games. This was frustrating to me, because I was thinking 'Why am I paying to lose all the time?' I wished that I had a guardian angel or a ghost that could help me beat him really bad. It was at that moment that Hikaru no Go was born." When asked about how go has affected her life, Hotta replied: "Honestly, I had no idea that so many kids would want to learn how to play go. Not just in Japan, but all over the world. Especially kids in other countries where there aren't many teachers or resources for playing go. Nowadays many more kids can play go thanks to the efforts of teachers, professionals, and groups that are helping to bring go to kids around the world. For my own life, Hikaru has made it very hard for me to attend go tournaments. So many people will watch over my shoulder during my games, and I'm not a very strong player so it is very embarrassing!" – Paul Barchilon, E-J Youth Editor.

Wednesday August 8, 2012

Su is the daughter of Feng Yun 9P, and looks like she is becoming a strong player in her own right. Thirty-two players competed in the event this year, which included a few male/male pairs as well. The event often serves as a warm up for the regular Pair Go tourney on Thursday night, where pairs will compete for the right to represent the US at the World Pair Go Championships. Youth Adult Pair Go is one of many events in the Youth Room, which features daily prize tourneys. Thursday's events are relay Go and a 13×13 tourney, the Youth Team Tourney will be on Friday. Congress youth attendance has been increasing steadily, and 100 kids and teens are attending this year – almost a full quarter of registrations. Other Pair Go winers included: Kelsey Dyer 1d and Sam Zimmerman 5k; Melissa Zhang 1d and Jeff Horn 1d; Peter Zhang 5d and Julie Burrall 6k; Ethan Frank 6k and William Xu 4k; Jia Jia 7k and Winston Jen 8k, Erandi Lozano 15k and Phillip Brix 6k.

Dozens of advocacy groups are getting together to urge Gov. Beverly Perdue and other state officials to use a stronger hand in helping more North Carolina citizens, especially minority groups, get back to work.
Perdue also was slated speak Wednesday at a "jobs summit" at a downtown Raleigh church, designed to discuss innovative ways to lower the state's 11 percent unemployment rate and preserve jobs that are created.
The groups say the unemployment rate for black Americans is nearly twice the rate for white residents.
The event is assembled by the state chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the North Carolina Justice Center and others in a coalition that lobbies the Legislature on poverty and racial justice issues.

New Guide for Defined Benefit Plan Provider Searches
Best practices from The Principal help financial professionals showcase value in DB
Drastic improvements in the funded status of many defined benefit (DB) plans make this a critical time for plan sponsors to evaluate their plan strategy and objectives. For many, that may trigger a search for a new service provider. Financial professionals who can lead that search process have a significant opportunity to showcase their value.
A new guide from the Principal Financial Group®, one of the leaders in pension risk management, offers best practices and resources to help financial professionals conduct DB provider searches—no matter what their comfort-level or experience with DB plans.
"Searching for a new DB provider is very different from a defined contribution (DC) provider search," said Janet Kubik, assistant vice president of retirement and investor services at The Principal®, the number one provider of defined benefit plans1. "We developed this guide, based on more than 70 years in the DB market, expressly to help support financial professionals in leading plan provider searches. This allows them to further demonstrate their value and help DB clients accomplish their goals."
The step-by-step guide identifies tips and considerations that are unique to DB plan provider searches and includes sample, non-branded resources that can be customized such as:
- A fact finder to ensure accurate information about the DB plan.
- Plan assessment to understand the plans strengths, weaknesses and priorities.
- Fee assessment to help evaluate total soft and hard dollar costs.
- Search evaluation criteria and sample request for proposal questions.
- Finalist scorecard to more easily identify which provider is the best fit.
DB prospecting resources
The guide is part of a new set of DB prospecting resources available online from The Principal to help financial professionals expand their DB businesses. The resources include talking points to help guide DB conversations with plan sponsors and a series of DB prospecting campaign communications to help engage sponsors easily.
For more research, analysis and insights, visit The Principal Knowledge Center and connect with us on Twitter.

- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed the Farm Service Agency's (FSA) new rule on amendments to the peanut poundage quota regulations. GAO noted that: (1) the rule would implement the provisions of the Agricultural Market Transition Act of 1996 regarding the federal farm peanut poundage quotas for the 1996 through 2002 crops of peanuts; (2) the amendments adopted in this final rule principally involve: (a) eliminating the national poundage quota floor; (b) eliminating the undermarketing carryover provisions; (c) establishing temporary seed quota allocations; (d) establishing the ineligibility of certain farms for quota allocation; (e) authorizing the intercounty transfer of farm poundage quotas in all states, subject to certain limitations in some states; (f) eliminating the special allocations of increased quotas for certain Texas counties; (g) establishing new provisions for "considered produced" credit with respect to a farm whose quota has been transferred; and (h) other minor clarifying and technical changes; and (3) other than misclassifying the rule as a non-major rule when filing with GAO and failing to issue the modifications in time to permit the 60-day delay for congressional review, FSA complied with the applicable requirements in promulgating the rule.

Spring is finally here, I hope! If you are like me, you are tired of winter and looking forward to warmer days when we can spend more time outside. I love working in the yard and just sitting outside. This cake always makes me think of spring, just because it is cool and refreshing, I guess. But even though I have put it in my column before, I think you will enjoy making it again.

NHL Capsules
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jussi Jokinen had a goal and two assists in the first period, Evgeni Malkin scored in the opening minute, and the Pittsburgh Penguins chased Jonathan Quick in a 4-1 victory over the struggling Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.
Chris Kunitz and Tanner Glass both scored in their second straight game for the Penguins, who opened a two-game West Coast road trip with the franchise's first regulation victory at Staples Center.
Jeff Zatkoff made 30 saves in the Eastern Conference leaders' fourth win in five games.
Anze Kopitar scored his third goal in five games for the Kings, but those are the only goals scored in the last nine days by the Kings, who have lost seven of eight.
The Kings had played their last eight games away from Staples Center, including last weekend's "home" game at Dodger Stadium. They've got a four-game homestand heading into the Olympic break, but still haven't solved their scoring woes.
Kunitz scored his career-high 27th goal and Jokinen added his 16th on the NHL's best power play in the first period.
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Ryan Getzlaf scored the go-ahead goal in the final minute of the first period and Anaheim also got goals from Corey Perry, Patrick Maroon and Daniel Winnik.
Saku Koivu added an empty-net goal and Frederik Andersen made 27 saves, helping the Ducks improve their NHL-leading record to 40-11-5 and their home mark to 22-2-2. They have won 22 of their last 26 games.
Winnik gave the Ducks a 4-2 lead with a short-handed goal, the ninth allowed this season by the Flyers — tying Edmonton for the league lead.
Koivu broke up a pass in the Ducks' zone and went off on a 2-on-1 break with Winnik, who beat Steve Mason to the glove side with 7:34 remaining while teammate Hampus Lindholm was off for high-sticking Claude Giroux.
Vincent Lecavalier, Matt Read and Michael Raffl scored for the Flyers, and Mason stopped 23 shots.
DENVER (AP) — Semyon Varlamov had 35 saves and John Mitchell had a goal and an assist, leading the Avalanche to the win.
Matt Duchene had two assists for Colorado. Ryan O'Reilly, Paul Stastny, Nathan MacKinnon and Maxime Talbot also scored.
It was quite a day for the 25-year-old Varlamov, who also finalized a five-year contract extension with Colorado that runs through the 2018-19 season.
The Avalanche won the season series with the Wild 4-0-1 and moved nine points ahead of them in the Central Division. Colorado has a firm grasp on third place and the final automatic playoff seed in the division.
Zach Parise had two goals and two assists and Mikael Granlund and Jason Pominville also scored for Minnesota, which went 9-4-1 in January to get into the thick of the postseason race.
TORONTO (AP) — Nazem Kadri had three assists, including his 100th career point, and the Maple Leafs earned their fifth consecutive home victory.
James van Riemsdyk set a career high with his 22nd goal for Toronto, which scored five straight goals after falling behind 2-0 in the first. Joffrey Lupul, Nikolai Kulemin and Tyler Bozak each had a third-period score.
Toronto (28-21-6) has won eight of 10 overall. It was coming off a 3-2 win against Tampa Bay on Tuesday night.
Nick Bjugstad and Sean Bergenheim scored in the first for Florida (21-25-7), and Dmitry Kulikov had a third-period goal. Scott Clemmensen made 26 saves.
Maple Leafs goaltender Jonathan Bernier made 35 saves, shaking off a slow start.
BOSTON (AP) — Peter Budaj stopped 34 shots and Montreal ended Boston's recent scoring binge.

Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Reunite After a Year of Divorce Negotiations
By John Clark
After dominating tabloids for several months with speculation about their impending divorce, Kobe and Vanessa Bryant have decided to stay together, according to a report from the Los Angeles Times.
Of course, the celebrity couple's divorce went beyond mere speculation. Vanessa Bryant formally filed for divorce from her husband in December 2011, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the requested split.
And the three homes owned jointly by the couple in the Los Angeles area were all promptly transferred into Vanessa Bryant's name after she filed for divorce, according to sources.
To make matters even more concrete, Vanessa Bryant had already sold one of the homes that had been transferred into her name for more than $3 million, according to local real estate records.
Sources say the home reportedly had more than 6,000 square feet of living space, which included five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and five fireplaces, and was located in the prestigious Pelican Ridge neighborhood.
In addition, they had started dividing their other assets, and had taken shots at each other through various gossip magazines.
But Vanessa and Kobe Bryant, who now live in Newport Beach, were not ready to end their 10-year marriage, and have reportedly called off the divorce after spending tens of thousands of dollars during the process.
According to a statement released on Vanessa Bryant's Instagram page, the pair were "pleased to announce that we have reconciled.†She also noted that the divorce action "will be dismissed†and that she and her husband were "looking forward to our future together.â€
The couple's change of tune is fairly baffling, and not only because many observers believed their pending divorce proceedings in Orange County had almost reached the finish line.
When rumors of the divorce began to circulate, many sources believed the split was due to multiple infidelities on the part of Kobe Bryant.
This was partially confirmed by the basketball star's rape trial several years ago, in which Kobe Bryant was acquitted on the criminal charges but was revealed to possibly be a less-than-faithful partner to his wife.
But the couple, who met in the early stages of Kobe Bryant's remarkable career, seem willing to work through their differences and avoid a potentially costly divorce.
And the cancellation of the divorce provides a sliver of good news for the shooting guard, who is currently struggling through a very frustrating season with the underachieving Los Angeles Lakers.
All is not well on the basketball court, but Kobe Bryant will at least be able to avoid a civil court for the foreseeable future.

Hey all,
Just picked up a 04 Trek-3700 and wanted to get some realistic opinions. I know its not really high end but I bought it used in practically new condition for $100. I don't really plan on beating it hard and probably will just stick to the casual dirt and cement trails in my area. Just looking to get some fresh air and excercise and didn't have a lot of extra cash. Anybody, ever have any experience with this bike? Basically, just looking for some honest opinions about its quality. Again, keep in mind, at this point anyway, this bike will just be used on casual trails. Thanks for your input.

check on jumper
BURLINGTON Police in Burlington are hoping to check on the welfare of a man they say jumped off a ferry into Lake Champlain over the weekend.
Police said the man jumped about 11 p.m. Saturday, close to shore. The Burlington Free Press reports police, fire, and U.S. Coast Guard officers responded, but were unable to find the man to check on him.
The man was described as a white male in his late 20s or early 30s about 6 feet tall, medium build, and wearing a light-colored shirt. Police said they received multiple reports that the man made it to shore and ran off.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Former gubernatorial candidate Dan Feliciano plans to run for state auditor as a...
