When you think of winter drinks, hot chocolate and coffee are probably the two liquids that come to mind. However, there are plenty of winter beverages out there with a variety of special ingredients that can work to warm you up just as well on a cold blustery day or night. Next time you're craving something to heat you up or satisfy your tastes this season, try out a new recipe at home or use even use a discount like a CoffeeForLess.com promotion code, which could get you deals like free shipping on orders over $50. Here are a few other beverages to try.
Hot toddy This warm, delicious alcoholic beverage is easy to make and even good for fighting off colds and the flu. All you need is a brown liquor, like rum, whiskey, brandy or scotch, as well as a sweetener and hot tea or water. Use honey, syrup or sugar and perhaps some herbal tea, which you can get for less using a California Tea House promotion code. Mix it all together, then garnish with a fresh slice of lemon for a drink that warms you from the inside out. It's like a warm, tasty cough drop!
Mocha hot cocoa Instant hot chocolate mix is convenient when you're in a hurry to drink something warm, but a homemade version will taste a lot better and seem a bit more decadent. Make your own mocha hot chocolate mix with ¾ of a cup of unsweetened cocoa, 3 ½ tablespoons of instant espresso, 1 cup of sugar and cinnamon sticks. Mix everything but the cinnamon sticks into an airtight container, then use 2 tablespoons when you're ready to make a drink. Combine the mix with ¼ cup of water over medium heat until the cocoa dissolves, then add ¾ cup of milk and a cinnamon stick.
Bourbon cider There's nothing like hot cider to warm you up on a snowy fall or winter day. Make your own with a bit of bourbon for an extra kick, which you could get for less with a Merwin Liquors promotion code. All you need is a gallon of apple cider, 5 teaspoons of cinnamon, 2 ½ teaspoons of nutmeg, 2 ½ teaspoons of ginger and 3 cups of bourbon. Mix everything but the bourbon together in a large stockpot and heat it up until it's just about boiling. Remove from the stove, then add the bourbon and you have plenty to pass around to family and friends.
Coffee milk punch Coffee is one of the world's most delicious flavors, and it's easy to make a variety of drinks with it. Use a Lindsey Coffee Company promotion code to pick up a bag of beans or two, then try out this recipe for coffee milk punch. Mix together 2 cups of coffee-flavored liquor, ½ cup of vodka, 5 cups of cooled black coffee or espresso and 3 pints of coffee ice cream. Stir until smooth, then keep in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.
Chai tea An Indian version of chai tea mixes up a delicious blend of spices with milk and water. It's not hard to make your own mix, as long as you have all the right ingredients, which you can get for less using a My Spice Sage promotion code. You'll need 1 orange, ½ cup of cardamom pods, 12 crushed cinnamon sticks, 2 tablespoons of cloves, 2 tablespoons of black peppercorns, 2 tablespoons of allspice berries, 1 tablespoon of coriander seeds, ¼ cup of whole star anise and ½ cup of Darjeeling tea. Dry the orange in the oven at 200 degrees for two or three hours. Mix everything except the tea in a bowl, then store the spices and tea in separate containers. When you're ready to mix a batch, simmer 2 tablespoons of the spices with 1 ¼ cups of milk, ¾ cups of water and 1 tablespoon of sugar for 25 minutes. Add in 1 ½ tablespoons of the Darjeeling tea and let it steep for 3 minutes. Strain into two mugs and enjoy your creation!
Sleigh driver punch This nonalcoholic punch is the perfect addition to any holiday party, and adds a few delicious ingredients to your standard hot apple cider. To make it, you'll need 1 cup of water, ½ cup of sugar, 1 peeled and sliced piece of fresh ginger, 3 chopped pears, 2 quarts of apple cider, 1 sliced lemon, 1 tablespoon of allspice, 1 cup of cranberries and 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract. Mix the water, sugar, ginger and one of the pears in a saucepan, then bring to a boil. Strain out the solids and put the liquids back into the pan. Add the remaining pairs, cider, lemon and allspice, then heat for 15 minutes over medium-high heat. Mix in the cranberries and vanilla and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer for 10 minutes, then serve to your guests. You can even make it ahead of time and heat it up on the stove or in the microwave if you're short on time the day of your holiday gathering.
Eggnog There's nothing like a classic eggnog for warming you up, and it's perfect for bringing along to a holiday party. To make a fresh version yourself, gather ingredients using an Equal Exchange promotion code. You'll need 12 separated eggs, 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of bourbon, 1 cup of Cognac, ½ teaspoon of salt, 3 pints of heavy cream, grated nutmeg and 1 or 2 cups of milk (if you want). Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture is thick, then add the bourbon and Cognac and chill for several hours. Mix the egg whites with the salt and beat together until it's almost stiff. Whip up the cream until that's stiff, then fold it into the yolk mixture. Add in the egg whites and chill for an hour. When you're ready to serve it, sprinkle the nutmeg on top. Add the milk into the yolk mixture if you want a thinner eggnog, otherwise just leave it as is.
Apple gingerbread cocktail This sweet treat is perfect for any adult gathering this holiday season. For each drink you'll need 2 ounces of ginger and cognac liqueur, 1 ounce of vanilla vodka, 2 ½ ounces of apple cider, a dash of lemon juice, honey (which you can get cheap with a promotion code from The Honey Jar), crumbled gingersnap cookies and orange zest for garnish. Mix the liquid ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Spread the honey on a plate and dip the rim of the glass in to lightly coat the edge. Spread the cookie crumbs on another plate and dip the honeyed rim into it, then pour in the strained drink and float the orange zest on top. You'll feel like a real bartender and your guests will appreciate your know-how!
Irish coffee For a traditional recipe, you won't need to use Bailey's irish cream. Just mix together Irish whiskey, black coffee and sugar. When it's all settled, add whipped cream on top then drizzle with a bit of creme de menthe, if you want. You could even top with a cherry if you're feeling really festive.
Peppermint hot chocolate Peppermint is a sure sign of winter, which means it goes great with pretty much anything. To make, mix ? cup unsweetened cocoa powder with 1 quart of milk in a saucepan until the cocoa dissolves. Add ½ cup of semisweet chocolate chips and 3 crushed peppermint sticks and simmer over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring every now and then. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and add a pinch of salt. Separate into mugs and garnish with a peppermint stick. Mmm!
Warm milk with vanilla There's nothing better than a warm mug of milk before you go to bed. For a delicious twist, a hint of vanilla and cinnamon goes a long way. Simmer 4 cups of milk with ¼ cup of sugar over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in 1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract, then divide into mugs and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon. You'll be getting warm and sleepy in no time at all.
Mulled cranberry juice This drink would make a great treat after a chilly day at a Thanksgiving football game, or just in place of tea on a chilly afternoon. Mix 1 quart of cranberry juice, 1 cinnamon stick and 2 whole cloves in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer while you mix ½ cup of cranberries, ½ cup of sugar, ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of water in another pan. Heat this over medium-low heat until the cranberries burst and are covered with the sugar mixture. When those have cooled, thread a few berries onto a toothpick or decorative skewer, then pour the juice into mugs and add the swizzle. It's a very classy way to enjoy this mulled beverage!
Of course, on days where you're in a rush and don't have time to make any of these drinks, a Starbucks promotion code can get you deals on delicious fall and winter lattes and coffee, so you'll never lack a good warm beverage!

D2L Outage and Upgrade Information
The upgrade to version 10 includes many new features that will improve both usability and functionality. Although the changes are significant, we will be making every effort to keep the faculty, staff and students informed of changes so that the transition will be as smooth as possible.
The biggest change will be to the user interface. In order to improve the user's viewing experience, D2L will be moving to a 960-pixel fixed width page. Although this change will not greatly effect the overall viewing experience, it is requiring us to make some changes to the structure of the D2L home pages. In other words, we may need to rearrange some of the widgets on the page to accommodate the new page width. Once again, although this change is substantial, we are confident it will result in a better experience for all D2L users.
In addition to the page width changes, D2L has added the minibar to the top of every page. The minibar will include links (such as My Home, Logout, Preferences etc) that traditionally were incorporated into the navigation and various widgets. In v. 10 they are consolidated in one central location, the result is a page that is both cleaner and easier to navigate.
The theme of cleaner and easier is carried into other areas of D2L as well. In previous versions, there were buttons, icons, and links in different areas of the page (left panel, top of the page, icons next to individual items, etc) that were used for adding and organizing content and other items. In v.10 these commands are grouped in easy dropdown menus at the top of the page. Once again, the overall functionality has not changed, the commands are just located in a slightly different place.

Final StatsQuotes
TUCSON (AP) - Shawntinice Polk became Arizona's all-time blocks leader and scored 23 points in an 84-58 victory over Oregon on Saturday.
The win was also Arizona's 27th straight at home, the second-longest streak in the country. It is the first time in Arizona's history it has gone undefeated at home, posting a 14-0 record in McKale Center this season.
Polk only had one block, but it was enough to move the sophomore past Elizabeth Pickney to become the school's career record holder with 148. She is ninth on the Pac-10 career list.
Polk just missed her sixth straight double-double with 23 points and nine rebounds. Dee-Dee Wheeler finished with 16 points, while Natalie Jones had 14. Shannon Hobson added a season-high 13.
Oregon (12-14, 4-12) was led by the 11 points from Brandi Davis.
Polk's record-setting block came in the first three minutes of the game when Arizona took control. The Wildcats (20-7, 12-4) led 11-0 before Oregon scored its first points with 14:53 remaining.
Arizona took a 43-20 lead into the intermission after Jones hit a three-pointer at the buzzer for the Wildcats' biggest lead of the half.
Wheeler scored seven straight points to give the Wildcats a 58-30 lead with 11:43 left in the game, after making a three-pointer and converting back-to-back steals into lay-ups.
Polk scored five of her points in Arizona's initial run to open the game. Oregon had four turnovers and missed two free throws and its first four shots before Kedzie Gunderson got on the scoreboard.
A three-pointer by Wheeler with eight minutes remaining in the first put Arizona ahead 24-9. Katrina Lindner added a lay-up, and Polk was left alone for another field goal to go up 28-11.

On Thursday, August 7, 2014, Saks Fifth Avenue and Look Good Feel Better® will host the third annual Look Good Feel Better National Beauty Editors Day. There will be more than 40 top beauty editors, 25 beauty brands and lifestyle magazines attending the event at Saks Fifth Avenue's New York flagship store on 611 Fifth Avenue, to offer 20-minute consultations for a $30 donation to the Look Good Feel Better program. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Good Feel Better® in an effort to improve cancer patient's self-esteem nationwide.
Dolce&Gabbana Make Up participates in Good Feel Better®, along with Dolce&Gabbana National Makeup Artist, Christian McCulloch and Cosmopolitan Deputy Beauty Editor, Jessica Matlin to raise awareness and funding for the cancer patients. Be sure to mark your calendars for this Thursday, August 7th (book an appointment by calling 212-940-4949) to meet with Christian McCulloch and Jessica Matlin for a one-on-one personalized beauty consultation at the Dolce&Gabbana Make Up Counter at Saks Fifth Avenue. This is a great opportunity to experience the key products used to create the Dolce&Gabbana Fall 2014 Beauty Look with insider tips from Christian and Jessica. Also, attendees will receive a Dolce&Gabbana gift bag featuring Fall Make Up essentials and pre-launch insider access to Dolce&Gabbana Skin Care and Fragrance, so be sure to book an appointment by calling 212-940-4949 to attend on Thursday, August 7th!
Below is an exclusive interview with Cosmopolitan Magazine Deputy Beauty Editor, Jessica Matlin, which focuses on "Cosmo's Beauty Do's and Don'ts for the end of summer."
BL: What are your thoughts on wearing serum, moisturizer, spf, primer, concealer, foundation, AND powder during the hot summer weather. Do we need to give our skin a rest?
Jessica Matlin: I always wear a serum: They're extremely light, yet they're concentrated with anti-aging ingredients—it would be silly to skip such . I minimize the rest of my product load by choosing multitasking products: a tinted moisturizer with SPF, and concealer and powder only where if and where I need it.
BL: Is it a must to change out your skincare for new summer products?
Jessica Matlin: It's a matter of preference. Pay attention to your skin: If you're oilier in the summer or noticing discoloration (from the sun), it's worth shaking up your summer product routine. Look for lighter skincare, or try some brightening creams.
BL: What are your thoughts on lip products at the beach? Gloss or Matte texture?
Jessica Matlin: Glosses are way too sticky for me—they're total sand traps! Plus, your hair gets stuck to them if it's windy. I love colorful, moisturizing balms—perfect for a hot day at the beach. A matte lipstick can work, as long as it has a moisturizing texture. Just be mindful of taking any tube of lipstick to the beach—they tend to melt in the sun.
BL: Is it ok to keep beauty and skincare products in the refrigerator for a cooling effect during the summer?
Jessica Matlin: Absolutely. Keep your favorite face mist in the fridge, and spritz yourself with it next time you come in from the hot, gross streets of New York. The coolness makes it ten times more refreshing.
BL: Do you advise on protecting hair with sunscreen?
Jessica Matlin: The best sunscreen for hair is a hat or pretty scarf. My goal for this summer is to try and learn how to do a chic Jackie O-style headscarf, but I haven't quite mastered it. Luckily, I have a baseball cap I love.
BL: Is SPF 30 enough or is it necessary to use SPF 50 or above?
Jessica Matlin: I pester derms about this all of the time: Most say SPF 30 is okay.
BL: Is it necessary to reapply sunscreen every hour or couple of hours?
Jessica Matlin: Yes. More often if you're swimming or sweating. This is where your phone alarm comes in handy.
BL: Is it ok to wear perfume or better to use eau de toilette (or no fragrance!) during the summer?
Jessica Matlin: No fragrance in the summer? How depressing! You can still wear your favorite. Just bear in mind that fragrance gets stronger in the heat. Wear a little bit less, or try the body lotion of your favorite scent. Another option: Experiment with new lighter scents—some of the big fragrances even make summer versions of their originals.

Right, I'm not too sure if this is possible or even where to look for info, soooo...
What I was hoping to do is setup a linux box with a user "foo" foo has an email account with gmail
Is it possible for the server to retrieve the users email from gmail using imap so that when they retrieve their email it comes from the local server instead of gmail.
Basicly this is some sort of mail caching service.
Even some info pointing me into the general area of documentation would be great!


text: Beavers Top Cardinal 1-0 In 13-Inning Thriller Photo By: Scobel Wiggins/Oregon State Athletics 04-05-2014 Related Links Oregon State Baseball On Facebook Oregon State Baseball On Twitter Oregon State Baseball On Instagram Box Score CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State center fielder Jeff Hendrix singled home the winning run in the 13th inning on Saturday as the Beavers edged Stanford 1-0 at Goss Stadium to clinch the Pacific-12 Conference series. Hitless in his first five at-bats, Hendrix lined a 3-2 pitch from reliever AJ Vanegas over a drawn-in infield and into left-center field to plate Trever Morrison with the lone run. The Beavers (24-6 overall, 8-3 Pac-12) stretched their winning streak to five straight overall and four in a row in Pac-12 play. Morrison led off the 13th with a single, the first time all game OSU's leadoff batter reached safely. He advanced to second on a passed ball and then slid safely into third when Stanford made a play on him on Logan Ice's sacrifice bunt instead of taking the easy out at first. Hendrix followed with his first walk-off hit as a collegian, a feat that earned him a traditional shaving-cream pie in the face during postgame interviews. Oregon State starter Andrew Moore and four relievers combined to handcuff Stanford (10-13, 3-5) on nine hits. Moore went the first seven innings; reliever Scott Schultz held the Cardinal hitless over the final 4 2/3 innings for his fourth victory of the year. The Beavers mustered only six hits off Vanegas and Stanford starter Cal Quantrill, but strong situational pitching and defense kept them in the game. The Beavers turned three inning-ending double plays, the last of which was a stellar 6-4-3 twin killing on an attempted hit-and-run play that ended the top of the 12th. Moore scattered eight hits over seven shutout innings as he rebounded from the shortest start of his career in a sub-par effort in an 11-2 loss at Arizona on March 29. He struck out seven, walked four, and lowered his ERA from 2.58 to 2.18. Reliever Zack Reser pitched 2/3 scoreless innings and Brandon Jackson got the final out of the eighth to strand two runners. Trent Shelton got the first out of the ninth; Schultz replaced him following a walk and went the distance. The bullpen did not allow a hit over the final five innings. Stanford starter Cal Quantrill matched Moore zero for zero, as he allowed just three hits over eight innings, with six strikeouts and one walk. He pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the fifth, the only time OSU had more than one baserunner off Quantrill, the son of former major-league pitcher Paul Quantrill. Vanegas added four scoreless innings before faltering in the 13th. He had not allowed an earned run in 14 innings over seven appearances to that point. The Beavers set a club record with their seventh consecutive victory against Stanford over the past three seasons. They now have won eight of the past 10 series against the Cardinal. The crowd of 2,758 raised the season total to 33,689 in 13 openings, an average of 2,591 per date. The Beavers have drawn 2,032 or more fans to every game. The series concludes at 1:05 p.m. Sunday; the probable starting pitchers are right-hander Chris Viall (1-2, 4.26) for Stanford and lefty Jace Fry (5-1, 1.81) for the Beavers. Tickets can be purchased at the Goss Stadium ticket office, which opens at 11 a.m., or online via BeaverTickets.com.

Edited by J. Traill Taylor
The future historian of photography will scarcely fail to record that the year 1874 was one of decided progress. Scarcely had its advent been made when a Liverpool gentleman-Mr. W. B. Bolton-whose name will ever be honourably associated with the introduction of the collodio-bromide process, published, through the medium of THE BRITISH JOURNAL OF PHOTOGRAPHY, and improvement he had effected upon that preparation which leaves scarcely anything more to be required. In emulsion processes such matters as the character of the pyroxyline, the nature of the preservative, and whether it were correct that free bromide or free nitrate be left in the film, had long been vexed questions which had given rise to writing, to a great deal of personal recrimination, and to disquisitions possessing scarcely any more interest for the general body of photographers than do essays on the Greek particles for the general public.
All these were swept away at one blow by the revolution of January, 1874, owing to which we have, at the time of issuing this ALMANAC, a collodion process possessing the following valuable features:- A collodion emulsion may now be prepared, by any person choosing to be at the trouble of doing so, by which a sensitive plate may be obtained by the mere act of pouring the emulsion upon it-no bath, no washing, no preservative of any kind whatever being required. A plate this prepared will keep as long after the preparation as any other dry plate. The sensitive emulsion will keep good for a reasonably long time after it has been made ready for use; but, not only so-it can also be made quite dry, like isinglass, in which state it will presumably keep good for years, enabling one to store a large supply in the leaves of a pocket-book ready for used at any time by dissolving a portion of it in ether. This is surely and most emphatically "photography made easy." In improving the details of popularising the practice of this washed emulsion process the name of Captain Fox must be honourably mentioned. Interesting and practical articles by both the gentleman named, among others on the same subject, will be found elsewhere in this work.
Closely allied to the foregoing is the progress that has been made by Mr. Kennett in perfecting his sensitive gelatine pellicle, the main feature of which is the preparation of the sensitive gelatine in a dried of parchmentised form, in which state it will keep for years, ready for use when a portion of it shall have been dissolved in warm water. The plate, when coated with this and dried, will keep for a considerable period. A second feature is the extraordinary sensitiveness of plates thus prepared. The great majority of the failures experienced when using gelatine plates have arisen from this property; photographers seem never to have been able to realise the fact that it is possible to prepare dry plates quite as sensitive as wet ones; and this had led to carelessness in respect of the amount of light present in dark room when handling them, and, above all, to an excessive degree of over-exposure in the camera. Full directions for preparing gelatine plates were published in the last ALMANAC; the best method of developing them will be found in one of the pages devoted to formulae in another portion of this book.
Photography has, in the most marked manner, asserted its utility as regards astronomical science during the transit of Venus across the sun's disc on the 9th of December last. Upon the correct observation of this phenomenon depends our knowledge of the distance of the sun from the earth and, consequently, of the dimensions of that orb. Owing to the great distance of the sun, the smallness of the earth, and the consequent impossibility of obtaining a base-line sufficiently long to enable tow observers separated from each other to obtain solar parallax, the distance of the sun could not this be ascertained; but, by taking advantage of the passage across the sun's disc of a body comparatively close to us, the distance of which is known, and by noting exactly, and from stations very widely apart, the instant the passing body is seen to come in contact with and leave the solar disc, over which it passes like a dark spot, the whole matter is brought fairly within the grasp of the arithmetician. But the eyes of observers may deceive them, especially at a moment when the excitement must be very great; hence the desirability of employing eyes devoid of nerves and which own to no excitement save that produced by chemical means. By the agency of photography and the use of appliances for exposing plates in rapid succession-commencing a little before the time it was know the planet would come in contact with the sun's discand, further, by noting the exact instant when each photograph was taken, it is obvious that not merely an accurate but a permanent record would be made; and this photography has effectually accomplished. The ingenious apparatus which was so much employed in photographing the transit of Venus has recently been fully described and illustrated by engravings in THE BRITISH JOURNAL OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
The reproduction of negatives by what has aptly been termed the "dusting-on" process forms a chief feature among the novelties of the past year. It has been well known for many years that certain mixtures of bichromate of potash and hygrometiric bodies were affected by light in such a way as to leave the surface of a plate which had been coated therewith in a state of greater or less deliquescence or tackiness in inverse proportion to its exposure to light; but the use that had been made of this discovery was mainly confined to the preparation of enamels, by developing a picture on opal glass or enamel by dusting or brushing over such a surface, after exposure under a transparency, any vitrifable powder. Thus a positive produced by a positive, the very obvious fact that a negative would produce a negative image was subsequently realised; and this was followed by an extensive practical application of the latter discovery in the direction of reproducing negatives.
Mr. Werge, too, has utilized the principle above spoken of in a very ingenious and most successful method of printing backgrounds of any artistic or other character in portrait negatives previously lacking in such an attractive feature. A portrait negative taken in the studio with a plain background may, by this invention, be handled over to the printer balcony, street, or marine scene. Instead of being held in reserve and sold as a secret process, Mr. Werge has worked out this valuable method of effecting the foregoing improvements and presented it freely to the public.
The "year that's awa" must also be connected with a new and very important method of printing, based upon the combinations of oxalic acid and iron and their action as reducing agents of certain metals. Starting with the view of making photographs in the most stable metals he could think of-such as platinum or iridium-Mr. William Willis, jun., sought to find a good reducer if these metals, and spent some time in making experiments with ferrous oxalate-a beautiful lemonyellow powder known to be insoluble in water and most other menstrua. Working away for a considerable time without any satisfactory result Mr. Willis eventually discovered that a solution of it in the neutral oxalate of potash instantly precipitated the metal from the ordinary chloride of platinum; in other words, he found that a solution of ferrous oxalate in potassic oxalate reduced salts of platinum to the metallic condition. Now, as ferrous oxalate can be produced by the action of light upon ferric oxalate, it follows that if the paper which has received a wash of chloride of platinum and ferric oxalate be exposed in the printing frame, and then receive a wash of potassic oxalate, the metal will be reduced in proportion to the action of light. I have seen several pictures produced by Mr. Willis by the process here indicated; they were very beautiful, and withstood the destructive tests to which ordinary prints on albumenised paper succumbed.

College Hockey:New Hampshire women's coach McCloskey fired after 'inappropriate physical contact'
According to a news release issued Thursday evening, New Hampshire women's head coach Brian McCloskey "is no longer employed by the university as of Dec. 5, 2013."
This decision comes on the heels of an investigation into an incident of inappropriate physical contact with a player on the bench at the team's home game on Nov. 30.
"The safety and well-being of our student-athletes is our No. 1 priority," said UNH athletics director Marty Scarano in a statement. "Coaches are role models for our students and responsible for their dignity and safety and we have zero tolerance for unsportsmanlike behavior on any of our athletic teams."
The team's two assistant coaches, Jamie Wood and Stephanie Jones, will coach the Wildcats in their two games this weekend against Harvard and Dartmouth.

ROTC Blackboard
Cadet Command
Follow us on social media!
Cadets should expect to get to know each other very well during various training events they will work side by side to accomplish given objectives. Training throughout a cadets ROTC career will range from a beginner still learning, to intermediate cadets leading others, and expert cadets who are in charge of training the younger classmen.
PT is fun, motivating and gives Cadets a chance to increase their physical fitness. We begin a regular PT session at 0615 and usually train until 0715. We encompass a variety of training including: Crossfit, distance runs, rope climbs, water workouts, wrestling, etc. Not only is PT a time to become more physically and mentally fit, but it also gives the MSIII Cadets a chance to use their leadership and planning skills, as they run most of the PT sessions we perform.
Labs are the time that ROTC sets aside to teach Cadets hand-on practical exercises and skills that will make them successful at LDAC. The content of labs varies from: land navigation to drill and ceremony to Platoon operations. Labs are taught by the experienced instructors and MSIV Cadets.
Wearing the uniform on campus is a very rewarding experience. Not only do UNI ROTC students get to represent themselves and ROTC, but also the entire Army. UNI students are generally curious about why ROTC cadets wear the uniform and many times a Cadet may be asked what different patches mean, why a Patrol Cap must be worn, and several other questions.
ROTC is a large time commitment and cadets must learn time management quickly if they want to succeed. In ROTC grades are one the most important parts of the program and Cadets are required to maintain a good GPA. Cadets may find that they are busier than the average college student, but with hard work it is possible maintain good grades and do well in ROTC. And ROTC Cadre are always available and willing to meet with students one on one to ensure they are successful in meeting all requirements.
Typically we will do a variety of activities over the weekends for training, including: land navigation, garrison leadership rotations, tactical Squad Training Exercises and Platoon Operations. Cadets usually spend Friday night and most of Saturday conducting training over training weekends to help them build and refine their skills.
All contracted Cadets and all MSIII and MSIV Cadets must be present and participate in labs and PT. Those cadets who are not contracted and civilians who are interested in the program are encouraged to come and participate to learn more about the program.

I am going to upgrade/fresh install my system from Ubuntu 32 Bit PAE to 64 Bit. Apart from many things I want to backup, there is one thing I really need to make sure that is correctly backed up. This is the XBMC cache. My connection is slow and I do not want to spend 3 days again downloading all the information. What do I need to backup in order to have this working again. Note the following:
The source of the movies will be in the same place. I will not change them. Right now they are in /media/movies for movies and /media/series for Tv series. They will still be like that once I update to 64 bit.
The .xbmc in my home folder is the only thing I think I need to backup but I want to be 100% sure.
What else do I need to backup?

Men's Basketball Posts a Win and Loss
The St. Cloud State men's basketball team had mixed results this weekend. On Friday, the Huskies defeated Wayne State 70-66 with Damarius Cruz, Theo Rothstein and Shaun Jensen all scoring in double figures. Freshman Jordan Poydras also recorded eight points and three assists while notching 23 minutes of heavy playing time.
The Huskies led by as much as eleven points in the first half, however, Wayne State would fight back to take the lead in the second. That's when Damarius Cruz got hot and led a Husky run to go back up by eleven making the score 58-47 with just under seven minutes to play in the contest.
The game eventually found both teams tied at 66 with under a minute to go. Cruz hit the go ahead three while Rothstein added a free throw to put the huskies up 70-66. Rothstein has failed to score double-digit points in only one game this season.
Saturday, the last contest of a four game road trip, would put the Huskies against the Vikings of Augustana who entered the matchup with a record of 15-4 (11-4 in the NSIC). St. Cloud State again found themselves up at halftime, this time by two points. A scoreless five minutes to enter the second half would derail the Huskies hopes of winning as Augustana took the lead. By the time the Huskies were able to respond they were down by eight, 51-43.
Unable to slow down Augustana's Cameron McCafferry, who had 24 points and 7 assists, was not the only problem hampering the Huskies on the road. They were also out rebounded 42-15, notching just one offensive board all game against the Vikings.
Theo Rothstein finished with 15 points in the game putting him at 1,005 for his career, a landmark only 34 other Husky players have reached. He'll look to add to that total as the Huskies take on Winona State at home on Friday with tipoff at 8pm. They then face Upper Iowa Saturday at home as well at 6pm.
The Huskies stay atop the NSIC North standings and will settle into third overall in the NSIC as they now boast a 16-4 record 12-4 in the NSIC. They have a four game home stand followed by away games at the University of Minnesota Crookston and Bemidji State coming up. The Huskies are looking to get back on track before heading into the postseason in later this month.

JWC TO JEANNIE WELSH ; 9 May 1843; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18430509-JWC-JW-01; CL 16: 161-162
[9 May 1843]
My sweetest
Here is a letter for Walter1 which I consign to your keeping. not knowing his proper address— To yourself, I have hardly any time remaining to write—Plattnauer having been cheated out of his Sunday visit by a sudden whim of the Marchionesses that he should go with her to church—made himself ammends by putting his baby-Lord in a street cab this wet morning and bringing him here for exercise!2 The dearest, prettiest kissablest little Lord it is that ever I set my eyes on! no wonder he always calls him "my boy"—he is worth the appropriating— Now he is gone I must go out on diverse business—the most noteworthy an investigation about houses— Since it became wholly indifferent to me, whether we remained in this house or not, Carlyle seems to have been growing in attachment towards it—even the accursed piano which "must be got rid of" does not always d[ri?]ve his imagination forth into new streets or a new country, but only ON TO THE ROOF—or up to the top of the garden! One day he is for building a sort of well deafened observatory aloft—and the next he will build a good-sized room at the end of the garden!— But preparatory to so strong a measure, there would be need of our having the house on some other principle than from six months to sixmonths.— It would be best he says to buy the house!!!—this house which he has a thousand times over sworn to be "out of before he was a month older" as if his life depended on being out of it!— Now however he wants to buy it—and then he will build the room in the garden—and "throw the Library and my bedroom into "one reasonable drawing room"— He would like he says "to have a soirée now and then"!! "once a fortnight or so"!— Is he going mad? or is it I who have been mad all this while in fancying that he disliked company—and cared nothing about "appearances"? If I cannot get any satisfaction about this house I am to enquire after one in the same street—it seems we are attached even to the street!— I am at my wits end! my bedroom turned into a drawing room—soirees once a fortnight with one maid servant? The realization of these wild dreams is still a great way off—but I confess they appal me! And this particular day I am not ill to appal—for I went to Charles Bullers to dine yesterday—the father and mother are returned3—and instead of dining at six as I had laid my account with we were kept starving till eight—and eating then made me sick—and Mrs Buller insisted on my telling three long stories which I had told to her at Troston—and when I went to bed I could not sleep and today I am "heavy and displeased"— Thank heaven John is not here to "aggravate" me!
So goodby to you love till a more auspicious moment— — A kiss to my uncle for the envelope—which was anything but a comforting sight to me! only do not tell him that!— — I had a furious quarrel with old Sterling on Sunday gone a week— I went to dine there with Mrs Anthony4—at her earnest entreaty—her husband having left her with the old goose alone— Well the way he took of testifying his gratitude was to fall foul of my husbands book which I knew that he had not read— and utter the most monstrous impertinencies about it— I gave him of course as good—or a pretty deal better than he brought and came away—abruptly—telling him that he must learn good manners before I visited his house or received him into mine again— He had been in fact brutally insolent—as his nature is when he loses command of himself—two days after he stopped his carriage a few doors off—came to the door on foot—rung the bell—handed in a letter and walked away miserable in spite of Helen's officious entreaties that he would "come in and rest himself"— I enclose the letter—to show you what sort of arrant fools are the Rulers of our Israel!5 Ever your own Jane C

What happens when I do not turn on Auto Negotiation, force my MAC and PHY as 100Mbps, but instead connect (say by mistake) to a 1000Mps network (say all devices in that LAN runs at Giga Speed)?
Normally, both ends would just negotiate the highest available speed.
But if you have autonegotiation disabled, but the switch expects it to be enabled, you'll be stuck with a very unreliable 100 Mbps half-duplex connection.
Which leads to...
In either case, other devices connected to the same switch will not be affected, since each port of a switch is configurable separately (unlike hubs, which just link all ports to one large network).
See autonegotiation and duplex mismatch on Wikipedia.
Personally, I think disabling autonegotiation causes more trouble than gain. Does saving a tiny bit of battery matter when you waste more by having transfers take ten times longer, and even more when the mismatched connection truly sucks?
It would work as if you connected a FastEthernet device to a GigaEthernet switch. Also, you won't bring the whole network speed down to 100Mbps, everything else will still work at 1Gbps.
It should negotiate a 100Mbps speed. However, some devices may have issue. You will need to test with your hardware

Unemployment in the 27-member European Union is at a historically high level of 9.8 percent, according to the European Commission.
The EU economy grew modestly in the third quarter of 2011, although not enough to stabilise employment. The growth rate was 0.3 pct quarter-on-quarter, while the annual growth rate declined from 1.7 pct to 1.4 pct.
The groups most affected by unemployment were the young, the low-skilled and migrants. Growth forecasts for the EU were downgraded due to the international environment becoming weaker.

Chengdu Chicken
A quick, easy stir fry, with tangy bold flavours. It's super healthy, super easy, and it's on the table in half an hour. Toss it together with whatever vegetables you have on hand.
Happy New Year little bloggie!
Cross my heart, I'll put some more food in you this year.
I've only just rediscovered the joy of a fat cookbook on my shelf: The Complete Book of Modern Asian, courtesy of the Women's Weekly. Because it turns out the Woman's Weekly actually has a good recipe or too tucked between the royal baby and 100 weightloss tips for the new year. I bought this book a few years ago, five hundred pages of well-photographed Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Malaysian and Japanese dishes. There's quite a few duck dishes – which aren't financially viable for me, but there's an equal measure of cheap-n-easy recipes, like this one. I adapted it slightly, based on what I had on hand – which I personally think make it better. Not to toot my own horn or anything.
I had an awesome new years at Tom's place on Great Barrier, burning under the summer sun. It was relaxed and easy, with late nights and late mornings. I've written about his place on here before, so I wont repost the photos, but it's pretty cool. Second only to our place at Taupo, which we'll be heading down to in a week or so.
Ahh, I love summer.
Anyway, make this on an uninspiring thursday night. It'll spice it up just the right amount. I've put measurements here, but you can easily do it by eye (1 tsp is a small glug, one 1tbs is a big glug) and it'll come out fine.
Chengdu Chicken – Serves 4
Prep time: 20 mins Cook time: 15 mins
- 800g chicken breast fillets, chopped coarsely
- 2 tbs soy sauce
- 2 tbs Chinese cooking wine or Mirin
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 3 tbs peanut oil
- Two big handfuls each chopped cabbage and spinach
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2cm piece of ginger, finely chopped
- 1/2 onion, cut into thin half moons
- 1 tbs rice vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 tbs grated finely orange rind
- 2 tbs sambal oelek
- a few sesame seeds, to sprinkle
Combine chicken, half of the soy, half of the wine and half of the sesame oil in a large bowl. Cover and marinate for as long as you have.
Heat 1 tbs of peanut oil in a frypan or wok; stir fry spinach until just starting to wilt, chuck in the cabbage for 30 seconds or so, then remove the whole lot and cover to keep warm.
Heat half of the remaining peanut oil in the pan, stir fry chicken in batches, until browned.
Heat the remaining peanut oil, stir fry garlic, ginger and onion until the onion has just softened. Chuck the chicken back in with the remaining soy, wine and sesame oil, as well as the vinegar, honey, orange rind and sambal; stir fry until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve over the spinach and cabbage, with some sesame seeds sprinkled on top. You could have this with yellow or udon noodles, or basmati rice, like I did. Or just as is, if you're looking for less dishes.

Kentucky continues to rank behind only California and Tennessee in production of the marijuana.
In fact, it's the number one cash crop of the state.
Is it the soil or the weather that makes Kentucky such a hotbed for marijuana production?
Agriculture Specialist, Mike Bullock says it none of that.
"A lot of people think maybe the soil or other conditions are right. No marijuana is a weed. It can grow anywhere, but people growing it here in Kentucky is for the money," notes Bullock.
However, there is one advantage... the mostly rural state, full of farmland... makes it easier for people to grow here.
"They can mix it in with the cornfields. In the eastern part of the state, there's a lot of hollers and hills to hide stuff in."
But the amount of large acres of the "green stuff" is starting to disappear.
"What we find now are much smaller plots of marijuana, maybe smaller plots with a few dozen plants," says Tommy Loving.
Loving, Director of the Bowling Green- Warren County Drug Task Force says many growers are trying to come up with new ways to hide the product as law enforcement gets tighter.
"In many cases, as we improve our methods, they work to improve theirs," Loving notes.
For example, in Hardin County just this week, over 3,000 plants were discovered that were being irrigated using a "gas powered pump".
Bullock says growers are getting more high-tech when it comes to harvesting.
But for the most part its remained the same formula as when marijuana first started being grown in the Commonwealth.
"Most people in Kentucky still do it traditionally, just like they do the tobacco. A lot of it is hand-harvested and fertilized the old 'traditional' way."
Bullock says marijuana first came to the Bluegrass during the 1940's, when it was grown along with hemp to be used to make rope for World War II.
After the war ended, harvesting the plant became a larger business for many more in the state.

Effective but kind of yucky
Posted by Flicka on Jan 20, 2013
The product is effective and balanced my upset stomach nicely when in regular use. I should come up with a better way to ingest this since mixing it with water and drinking it just make me sick. The smell, taste and texture is not nice.
A must for GF baking
Posted by 5598399106105531991 on Feb 21, 2015
It gives great texture to GF bread, you won't miss gluten at all. Just a tablespoon of it per pound of GF flour will transform your GF bread into springy goodness.
A must in gluten free baking
Posted by 4677902882042607339 on May 14, 2015
It improves the texture of GF bread immensely, makes it "airy" and gives it structure. One tablespoon is enough for 1 lb of flour.
Now Foods Whole Psyllium Husks
Posted by Reviewer2818407 on Oct 25, 2012
I have 2 tblsp each night added to juice; does not alter taste of juice. Let set a few brief moments to soften, but then drink quickly, or it becomes thickened and unpleasant to swallow. Good product, especially if your daily diet is short on fiber. Best price purchased in bag rather than plastic container.
Bake with this!
Posted by monenlaistamammonaa on Feb 04, 2014
I use this when baking! For example in gluten free cookies and cakes.
Great addition to my health shakes.
Posted by bonusoffer on Aug 17, 2014
Hard to rave about fibre (UK spelling), but I'm happy with this Psyllium husk one. Mixes fine, tastes ok, and contains a good amount of soluble and insoluble fibre. You'll need to store it in a container as this packaging won't do the trick. All in all, a good addition to my health regime. Important addition to protein shakes and great for digestive tract and bowel health.
Love it
Posted by 5429679906830731415 on Jan 21, 2014
Works and mixes fine with a little stirring. I prefer the whole husks to the powder as I feel it works better.

Today's Mom Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow
Today's Mom has listened to the biggest concerns of...well, moms of course!
One of the biggest pregnancy pillow problems has been hard edges digging into mom's shoulder. The Cozy Comfort has a curve shaped, shoulder support design, that contours to the shoulder and provides a soft sleep. Another problem examined by Today's Mom is lumbar support. The Cozy Comfort correctly supports mommy's weight while she sleeps. An important upgrade mother's demanded was belly support. This maternity body pillow features a belly support allowing the tummy to rest and support the baby comfortable. Perhaps the best feature is the large, square head rest area. Other pillows feature a flimsy, oddly shaped area for the head. The Cozy Comfort's head support resembles a standard pillow to provide comfort. This is one of the only pregnancy pillows designed with an easy to remove zipper-cover. Now, the pillow and case can be separated for washing. Both are machine washable, made of a 50/50 combination of polyester and cotton.
Today's Mom Nursing Pillow
A perfect complement to the Today's Mom Pregnancy Pillow line, the Today's Mom Nursing Pillow is perfect for use during pregnancy, nursing, and feeding. The 50/50 Poly/Cotton cover zips off and is machine washable.

Women's Swimming And Diving Downed By Illinois State
Jan. 16, 2004
Chicago, Ill.- The UIC women's swimming and diving team returned from a two-month hiatus on Friday evening, and the final results revealed a little rust from the long break.
The Flames were outdueled by the visiting Redbirds of Illinois State, 183.50-111.50, at a packed UIC PEB.
From the start UIC (5-4) could not keep up with the Redbirds, who won took the first ten events of the dual meet to cruise to the dual meet win.
The Flames were led by Alicia Perry, who broke Illinois State's streak of ten straight event victories by winning the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:34.36. Perry also earned second place in the 200-yard IM by swimming the event in 2:20.22, following teammate Vanessa Segovia (2:18.69). and finished just behind ISU's Brittany Armstrong in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:11.16.
Sophomore Laura Martensen was close to earning a win in the 1000-yard freestyle, which she led for over half of the event. Illinois State's Jenny Klicka overcame Martensen's early charge and took the event in 10:47.08, followed by Martensen's strong time of 10:50.21, beating her previous season-high in the event by a second (10:51.21).
Caitlin Carey was strong once again, leading UIC in both the one-meter and three-meter diving events. Carey placed second in the three-meter with a score of 245.55 while finishing third in the one-meter at 236.02.
The Redbirds' Krystal Featherston was unstoppable in the diving portion of the meet, winning each event by a margin of over ten points.
The UIC men's swimming and diving team travels to Evanston, Ill., tommorrow, January 17, to battle Northwestern and Eastern Michigan at 2 p.m. Both the men's and women's swimming and diving teams will also be in action this Sunday, January 18, to take on Horizon League rival Wisconsin-Green Bay in Green Bay, Wis., at 1 p.m.

Children go through distinct stages of play as they grow. Each stage is critically important to the development of the next.
Hang brightly colored objects near your newborn. Sing and talk to your baby. Rock your baby, and take him or her for walks.
Ideas for toddler toys: a rocking horse, a shovel and a bucket, and toys that can be pushed or pulled.
A preschooler needs space in which to run and explore. Take him or her on trips to the playground, park, or beach. Encourage him or her to play with other children.

I'll be in Lyon for a few days in June (taking a train from Paris) and plan on renting a car to use around Lyon. It sounds like I can drive from Lyon to the French side of the Geneva airport and drop off the car. Is that possible? Should I take the train instead? My flight is at 12:30 p.m. on a Tuesday.
Actually the simplest answer to your question is Yes.
The airport of Geneva, although situated in Switzerland, is an international airport and has a French section. It can be accessed from France without passing the Swiss customs, through a special road (route douanière).
There are car rentals at the French section of the Airport, for exemple Sixt. This means you can rent a car in any Sixt Agency in Lyon (there is one at Part-Dieu train station), and drop the car at the French section of the airport of Genève, that you access via this road exclusively.
Here is an excerpt of the GVA agency of Sixt's web page:
There are other car rental companies: Europcar, Avis, Hertz for example.
As a side note, conversely, the Basel-Mulhouse airport is located in France, but is accessible from Switzerland via a similar road.
Warning: I don't know whether your car rental contract will allow you to drive on Swiss roads, so if that's not the case, beware that accessing the airport only via French roads can be a bit long, because Pays de Gex is almost an enclave due to the Jura mountains. You can count on your hands the roads that connect that area to the rest of the French territory, and therefore you can experience traffic jams when going there via Bellegarde.
If you want to go to Geneva by train it seems to be difficult: you'll have to board train TER 17601 from Lyon to Grenoble at 06:08 then TER 96608 from Grenoble to Geneva at 07:54 (21 minutes for transfer at Grenoble), you arrive at Genève at 10:00. 4 hours train for a short trip is really unexpected. There are Eurolines buses that depart from Lyon at 08:30 and arrive at Geneva at 11:30 on the timetable, but that's too late to catch your plane.
It's certainly doable. If you have a French rental car, you will need to either leave the motorway in Bellegarde-sur-Valserine and go to Ferney-Voltaire using the secondary road network or buy a CHF 40 motorway vignette for Switzerland as the car most likely will not have one. Train is also quite convenient but goes to the Swiss side, the duration of the journey from Lyon should be more-or-less similar. Within the airport, you can switch sides easily if you need to.
Do check which car hire companies are present in the French sector, some only have a desk on the Swiss side. You should also probably check in advance what they charge for dropping off the car in the French sector but in principle it should be a regular surcharge similar to what you would pay to drop it off somewhere else in France.
If you need to completely avoid going through Switzerland to reach the French side of the airport, it will be more difficult. You won't be able to take the train but could take a bus. With the car, you will need to pay attention to the directions; road signs and navigation devices would most likely bring you to the airport through Switzerland.
If you decide to rent a car, beware that not all rental companies will accept taking a car in Lyon and dropping it off in Geneva (a different country). Those that do will likely charge extra for it (in addition to the motorway surcharge).
Normally 12:30 should be plenty of time to catch a train from Lyon. The airport website mentions an 8:38 departure with a connection in Genève Cornavin, for a trip lasting a little over 2 hours, which sounds plausible. However, this page does not seem to be accurate: according to CFF, the Lyon–Geneva train is no longer running, and the only morning connection on a weekday departs from Lyon at 7:20 and involves taking a TGV (high-speed train — but not on this stretch, with compulsory reservation and market pricing) from Bourg-en-Bresse to Geneva. This is probably due to ongoing repair works on several lines in the northern French Alps and in the Geneva area. For the June period, the current announcement is:
The CFF page states that "More precise information will be available on this page shortly." The SNCF page promises more information 2 weeks before the beginning of each phase, which for your trip will be on 21 April. The lack of accurate information probably caused some trains not to be listed in the database even though they will end up running with only a slightly modified schedule or with a partial bus substitution.
You may want to put off planning until more information is available. I expect that there will be a reasonable train or train+bus connection that will get you there in time. You may also want to research bus alternatives. The most plausible connection would be via Annecy (there is a 9:15 bus to downtown Geneva), but it doesn't seem that you can get there in time from Lyon. There is a bus that leaves Grenoble at 8:30 and Chambéry at 9:30 (in both cases, the bus stop is just outside the train station), arriving at Geneva airport at 10:45. SNCF currently lists a 7:32 departue from Lyon to Chambéry, but there is no schedule for June; there is a 6:49 departure to Grenoble. Even with the track works, there will probably be a more direct connection to Geneva that doesn't involve that bus. You might also consider driving to Annecy or Chambéry and dropping off the car there to avoid Swiss motorway and international drop-off fees.

Rocket jumping seems to be one of the most important techniques in the Soldier's arsenal. How is a "good" rocket jump performed?
You crouch-jump, and shoot a rocket at your feet.
Make sure you're as far as possible from the ground the moment the rocket hits the ground to make sure you're not damaged too much. The last part might take some practising.
By the way, Valve has included a training weapon in the game called the Rocket Jumper. With it, you get twice the ammo and no self-inflicted damage. It's not useful out in the field, really. It can be crafted or bought in the Mann-Co store for $0.49 / £0.29 / €0.49.
(Powerlord mentioned this in the comments to the question above)
As Arda Xi mentioned, if you are crouching when the rocket explodes, you will go higher. In some cases, it's best not to crouch when jumping, like when you don't want to over-shoot your target, or to avoid fall damage.
It takes a while to get the timing down between jumping and shooting; there's sort of a sweet-spot. The setup phase is a great time to practice rocket-jumping.
I know this is an old question, but I'm surprised no one has mentioned this: Don't press W or s during your jump; both of these will cause you to lose momentum very quickly. Use a and d to maneuver in the air.
One way to get a consistent rocket jump is to use a script, which condenses all the key presses into a single command. I provide an example rocket jump script at the end of the post. To use it, copy the text to Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\cfg\soldier.cfg and rebind the keys as necessary.
The "alias" lines define the rocket jumping commands (one for regular rocket jump and one for the crouch jump which adds extra height). These lines should not be edited.
The "bind" lines allow you to specify which key you would like to perform the listed action. You can edit the keys according to this list.

The White House, as well as Senators from both sides of the bipartisan fence within the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, have come together to create a draft legislation to makes major changes to the mortgage market while allowing borrowers continued access to long term, fixed-rate loans.
While specific details of the bill are being kept under wraps, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Johnson, Democrat, and Ranking Member Senator Mike Crapo, Republican, made the announcement this past Tuesday of a draft bill and let slip some bullet points. The Obama Administration was said to be consulted in the drafting of the legislation.
This bipartisan effort will provide the market the certainty it needs, while preserving fair and affordable housing.
Said Tim Johnson.
This agreement moves us closer to ending the five-year status quo and beginning the wind down of Fannie and Freddie, while protecting taxpayers with strong private capital.
Crapo said in a statement.
The most considerable of the changes planned includes the dismantling of Fannie Mae(FNMA) and Freddie Mac(FMCC), and the creation of a new Federal Mortgage Insurance Corporation(FMIC). The two federal mortgage institutions are responsible for owning and covering approximately 60% of all US home loans. They buy loans and package them into various securities to sell to investors.
According to an article from Reuters,
Their central role in housing finance led the government to bail them out to the tune of $187.5 billion when they ran into trouble in the midst of the financial crisis of 2007-2009. Lawmakers from both parties want to revamp the $10 trillion mortgage market to make it less likely taxpayers will ever be put on the hook again.
The new FMIC would be created to insure tax payers protection against another potential catastrophic market collapse in the housing industry. Any institution or individual investors within the market would pay fees to the FMIC which would cover 90% of the risk with bonds created by the Government that would only go into effect if losses extended beyond 10%.
The other 10% of risk would be sold and fall to the market itself, John Sim of JP Morgan was quoted by Yahoo Finance saying,
The new system will be selling off the bottom 10% of the risk, whereas the current system merely guarantees it with a nominal fee.
Outspoken Senators Elizabeth Warren and Sherrod Brown, both of whom sit on the Committee, have said they refuse to support the bill unless there are affordable loans measured in for buyers with added plans to cover low-income housing as well. The Democratic lead Committee has to come to an agreement before this bill can hit the Senate floor.
The current new bill includes a measure saying borrowers would be responsible for making down payments of at least 5% of any monies loaned, and that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac won't be taken apart until the new system is completely in place. That is, assuming, that this version of the bill still exists in current form by the time it hits the House or Senate.
So, just when it was thought safe to get back into the housing market water as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had finally become profitable, since the announcement shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have tumbled 40% to almost 30% respectively.
Based on the multi-trillion dollar per year intake of this industry before the housing crisis in 2007, investors would not be averse to spending massive amounts, and there's long been a call to action to put the market back into the hands of investors and away from the Federal Government, but it's likely that market collapses and failures of the past will increase tensions across the entire US economy as this issue moves forward.
A quote taken from Sys-con Media by Mike Calhoun, president of the Center for Responsible Lending, has him saying,
We appreciate Senators Johnson and Crapo's attention to this critically important issue. The mortgage market is a $10 trillion industry and any changes to it will resonate through the entire economy. This is why any change must be considered carefully."
Calhoun continues here, stating
Overhaul of the housing finance system must ensure access to affordable and responsible mortgage credit for all consumers. If legislation fixes what was broken and builds on what works, we can create a housing finance system that will support economic growth and provide loans to creditworthy families in good times as well as bad. We will be looking closely at the Johnson-Crapo proposal to see how it measures up against these goals.
As will the myriad concerned lenders, investors, borrowers, politicians, and all other players involved and to be effected in the various aspects of the current housing market by this potential legislation.
