Fifty-four players were invited to the camp, eight of them goaltenders. The Winter Games are set for Feb. 7-23 in Sochi, Russia.
Finland will compete in Group B with Austria, Canada and Norway in Sochi. Finland's men's team has medaled in three of the last four Olympics since NHL players began participating in the games, the most medals for a men's ice hockey program in that span.

Using QCad professional ver 184.108.40.206 and MS XP 2002 service pack 3.
I started using QCad a few weeks back and all seemed fine. In the last week or so I am not able to use Divide 2. I can't seem to get a positive response to the command request to 'Select entity to breakout segment'.
I have removed QCad, did a file defrag and compression, restarted PC, and reinstalled QCad. Nothing changed.
I have installed a new wheel mouse. Nothing changed.
I have tried Divide 2 on a simple line segments drawing, only one layer. Still does not work.
I can work around this problem by right clicking and then picking the segment and pressing delete. It appears that Divide 2 has broken the segment at intersections but then fails to delete by itself. Not sure as I don't know just how the code is supposed to work.
Now I am ready for some new ideas.

Yes, the first words I heard from the president of the United States on the most monumental day for gay rights in our nation's history came to me via Twitter, complete with a LoveIsLove hashtag.
I was surprised and delighted -- and so living in the past.
I mean, surprised? Twitter and a hashtagging commander in chief are part of daily life in 2013. Along with Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr, Tout and the rest, it's how we entertain and inform ourselves. It's how we keep in touch with old friends and make new ones. It's how we find out about new jobs, old flames, the deaths of loved ones and the births of new family members.
And it's how we find ourselves moved -- moved to take action or rethink; moved to fear or hope; moved to join or resist; or encourage or protest. I'm convinced social media is the latest accelerant to social change, including the way we look at our neighbors or co-workers or relatives or our children's friends and lovers.
And I'm convinced that, as is the case with almost everything the Internet touches, those changes are coming faster than they did in the years before social media. It was inevitable that both public opinion and the courts would eventually turn against discrimination based on sexual orientation. But I have little doubt that social media helped more rapidly push the social change that provided the backdrop of support for Wednesday's twin decisions in favor of same-sex marriage.
Elizabeth Drescher, a Santa Clara University lecturer who studies social media, says the speed with which social media allows ideas to spread is part of the equation. Whether it is right to define same-sex marriages as something less than straight marriages, or whether it is OK to be gay, are the sorts of conversations that family and friends might have had around the kitchen table. Now, thousands at a time are gathered -- virtually -- talking about the same subjects.
"The pace of media engagement is just really different," Drescher says of social media. "It's not just that it's a force that can inflame an idea, in the sense of giving it social energy. It's also that the time frame for social media is so rapid, the idea that it works as an accelerant is exactly right. It goes really fast."
That is one reason we can live in an America where the 60-40 split against gay relationships in 2001 has flipped to 60-40 in favor today.
And, of course, the flood of social media messaging continues to grow. On Wednesday, Twitter traffic related to the Supreme Court rulings peaked around 9,000 tweets a minute, a few hours after President Barack Obama tweeted, "Today's DOMA ruling is a historic step forward for #MarriageEquality. #LoveIsLove."
It would be silly to argue that social media is the sole mover behind America's shift to greater acceptance of same-sex marriage. And there is no sure way to measure the spread of a core principle or a movement. We are a complicated people with even more complicated politics. But many have posited that the country's acceptance of same-sex marriage is growing as more and more people realize they know gay people -- often very well. It's one thing, after all, to discriminate against "them" and a whole different thing to discriminate against my brother or sister or mechanic or Safeway checker or Facebook friend.
Estelle Weyl is a Web developer who married her girlfriend in 2008, when same-sex marriage was last legal in California. She says tweets and social media posts are not likely to sway those who have taken a hardened political position on the issue. But not everyone has taken a hardened political position.
"What I think social media does," says Weyl, 44, who lives on the Peninsula, "if you're on the fence or have no position on it, you can't help being exposed to it much more."
And that simple exposure, multiplied many times over, can change minds and move societies. MIT professor Sherry Turkle, who's long studied the role of technology in our lives, credits social media portrayals of gay family life with helping shift public opinion to support same-sex marriage.
"People don't just see gay couples. They see gay families," Turkle says. "I think social media have done just an immense service -- and the blogosphere and YouTube, Facebook, have shown that the face of the gay family has become part of the face of America."
And from today forward it will be ever more so. Feel free to tweet that to your followers, #LoveIsLove.

great application for project-management
plays in the same class as ms-project - in terms of usability it even surpasses it
the most time-efficient function is cmd-Q.
nice gui, a lot of functions, better than ms project and i'm using it. but not recommend for non-projectmanagers.
A Must-have!!!
A Must-have, very well done app, supported by an excellent team.
Powerful. Stable. Better than MSProject. Missing a few useful features such as publish as web page (which is on the roadmap). Bottom line the best project management software I have used and I live by this stuff.
Great app supported by great people.

Catherynne M. Valente's 2011 book for young adults, the New York Times best seller The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, was a fantasy embraced both by children and adults.
Now Valente introduces her just-published followup volume, The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There.
The evening includes a book signing. This event is recommended for ages 10 and up.
Like the first book, this sequel follows September, a 12-year-old from Omaha, who is swept into a magical existence ruled by the unpredictable and fickle Marquess. The series has been compared to Alice in Wonderland and The Golden Compass.
Among Valente's books are The Orphan's Tales and Palimpsest. She has won the Andre Norton Award, the Mythopoeic Award, and the Million Writers Award for best web fiction.

Prion diseases are a related group of rare, fatal brain diseases that affect animals and humans. Also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE), they include bovine spongiform encephalopathy ("mad cow" disease) in cattle; Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans; scrapie in sheep; and chronic wasting disease in deer and elk.
Much about TSE diseases remains unknown. The diseases are characterized by certain misshapen protein molecules that appear in brain tissue. Normal forms of these prion protein molecules reside on the surface of many types of cells, including brain cells, but scientists do not understand what normal prion protein does. On the other hand, scientists believe that abnormal prion protein, which clumps together and accumulates in brain tissue, is the likely cause of the brain damage that occurs in TSE diseases. Scientists do not have a good understanding of what causes the normal prion protein to take on the misshapen abnormal form.
NIAID conducts TSE disease research in its Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana, and also funds prion disease research in university labs. Two other Institutes at the National Institutes of Health also fund prion disease research—the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the National Institute on Aging.

What was supposed to be a fun boys' weekend away in upstate New York turned into a tragic one for a 35-year-old Co. Kerry man when an SUV hit him head on, resulting in the loss of his right leg from below the knee.
Ballylongford native P.J. Flavin still finds it difficult to talk about that hot summer day in July. A truck plunged right into the motorcycle he was riding, sending him into the air.
The accident cost him three and a half months in hospital, his leg and his job and now he has to figure out a way to pay six months of medical bills, which to date look to be hitting the million dollar mark.
Flavin, whose wife Elaine is from Co. Louth, spoke to the Irish Voice from his living room on Monday.
The accident happened on Saturday, July 16. Now exactly six months later, Flavin is at a loss on how he is going to come up with the funds to pay the bills that are mounting high on his kitchen table.
Flavin's friends and family are organizing a fundraiser at the Kerry Hall in Yonkers for Sunday, January 29 to raise some much-needed money to help offset some of the high medical costs facing the Kerry man.

Flavin remembers the day like it was yesterday. His best friend from Ballylongford, Tony Collins, was moving back to Ireland with his family so the boys wanted one last weekend away together.
Both Collins and Flavin enjoyed riding motorcycles. Flavin, an owner of six, and Collins, also a bike owner, spent many a summer's day out on the open road. It was a pastime they thoroughly enjoyed.
This particular morning, Collins, Flavin and two other friends, Donnchadh Costello and Eddie Hayes, met for an early breakfast at the Irish Coffee Shop on McLean Avenue in Yonkers before they set off. They were excited and a bit giddy about the weekend.
It was decided a few weeks before that to show Collins a proper send off, they would participate in the Ramapo 500 motorcycle ride. It started in Monroe, New York and was scheduled to finish in Hancock, a town Flavin never got to see that day.
They planned to camp out under the stars and drink a few beers when they reached their final destination on Saturday evening. The ride was 250 miles each way.
"I remember it was pretty cold early in the morning but a few hours into the ride it got so hot I took off my motorcycle jacket," said Flavin. This action he would later regret.
Although there were several bike enthusiasts on the ride, the four friends stuck together. They stopped off for lunch in a small town on the route, reminisced about the good times they all had together during Collins's 14 years in New York and shared many a laugh.
Little did they know that less than 15 minutes back on the road, life for one of them would change drastically.
"We got back on our bikes. I still had my jacket off because it was so hot and off we went," recalled Flavin.
Hayes was leading the group through the small town of Downsville, with Flavin second, Costello third and Collins last. They were just under the 30-mile an hour speed limit.
"It all happened so quickly," said Flavin painfully.
"I could see this big silver truck (a dodge Durango) coming at us at fair speed around a bend; he was way over the double yellow lines on our side of the road and before I knew it he was coming at us head on."
Hayes swerved to avoid the car, hurling him into a ditch. He escaped with minor bruising. But Flavin wasn't so lucky. The oncoming car ploughed through Flavin and missed Costello by a few inches.
"I did everything in my power to turn the bike in the opposite direction but it was too late," said Flavin.
The car hit Flavin at such a high speed that his body and bike pulled off the front wheel of the vehicle. The impact caused the Kerry man to go flying into the air. When he finally hit the ground he skidded a few yards, causing all sorts of damage to his body.
"The next thing I remember is lying on the road trying to figure out where my leg was and what just happened," he said.
Flavin could instantly feel the road burns on his arms from only wearing a t-shirt, and he knew there and then his leg wasn't in good shape.
Seeing his friend in such a bad state, Collins rushed to a nearby house and called 911. Collins later told friends, "PJ took the hit and that impact made the truck cross back to the other side. Only for that we would all have been hit. He saved our lives."
As soon as emergency services reached the scene, Flavin was rushed to a nearby hospital in Binghamton, New York, where he underwent 10 excruciating hours of surgery in an effort to save his life.
"They told me there was a lot of internal bleeding everywhere so they had to spend hours working to stop that. They also did their best that day to stabilize my leg," he recalls.
It was the days that followed that were the most difficult.
"All I can remember is waking up in a hospital bed in some place unknown to me with my friends standing over me and these tubes sticking out of my throat," he shared.
"It was a horrible feeling. I couldn't communicate with anyone."
During that week doctors informed Flavin he may lose his leg but they would do their best to save it.

By 1996, Red Rocks was a major "power center" for Phish. Beginning with the storied 1993 show, Phish played a series of inspired shows under the moon and those stunning red rocks. Sadly, what was supposed to be Phish's most ambitious and celebratory run - four shows in August, 1996 - was marred by an unfortunate, and still debated, incident between ticketless fans and local police in Morrison. By the time Trey thanked the audience the last night, wistfully saying the band hoped to return one day, it was clear the Phish phenomenon had outgrown this beloved spot.
So it was time to relocate.
In 1997, Phish played its first show at the Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington. Perched on the banks of the Columbia River, this remote theater boasts majestic views of sprawling canyons and a wide open sky. With the band rocking out under the stars, and fans dancing across the spacious, ascending lawn, one could be forgiven for not missing Red Rocks anymore. And judging by the band's performances at this special site, they're coping just fine with the move (check out the powerful "Wolfman's" and the alternately funky and raging "Tweezer" > "Disease" > "Tweezer" and starry "Hood" from `97, as well as the "2001" > "Mike's" > "Weekapaug" odyssey from 98).
Summer 2003 marked Phish's first return to this shrine since 1999, and I was determined to be there. I'd never been to Seattle, so I convinced my parents that it was time for a trip, with some Phish shows taboot. We had a few days in Seattle, and took advantage. I highly recommend visiting this city in the summer, it's sunny but not humid and you can eat outdoors at Carmelita's, the best vegetarian restaurant on earth. Incidentally, Mike loves the place, and visited the day after I did (according to his journal on Phish.com).
I'll get to the show in a minute, but I ran into Fishman at our hotel and thought that should warrant a quick mention. So, apparently, Phish was staying in the same hotel as us before hopping on their jet to get out to the desert. The day before the show, I was working out in the weight room and I passed a short guy who looked a lot like Jon Fishman. Turned out we were the only people in the gym, and he was, in fact, Jon Fishman. I did not want to be another fan intruding on Jon's privacy, but I would naturally strike up a conversation in that situation, so I went ahead. Jon was very cool, and very down to earth, informing me that he "plays drums for a living". We had a chill conversation while working out, and my fear just faded. Before we parted ways, I said "have a great show". While I'm sure it had nothing to do with me, he did proceed to have two fantastic shows. I'm sure it won't happen, but I'd love to talk to him again sometime.
So, the show.
Long, scenic drive from Seattle with my parents and friend Faris. The scene was chill, aided immensely by the jaw dropping views everywhere you looked. It was windy but the sky was clear and beautiful. I won some Dead tickets at a basketball game in the official vending area. Never used em, actually. We had these cool box seats slightly right of the soundboard. We even had this small team of clearly unprepared guards to stop people from getting in (they did anyway).
Phish ambled out onstage with the sun still high, but just starting to dip towards the canyon on its slow journey towards setting.
I remember thinking that we were off to a solid start with the performance in "Taste". The jam hit its usual peaks but with a slight added gusto that seemed appropriate for the setting. It was very windy during "Stash". I recognized "Mock Song" right away, as it had really grown on me from the album. Tender and soft, the song just glides along gracefully. But it was clear they could work on it a little more for future shows. The band could have been more cohesive and the performance was not up to par with the album. I do hope they play it sometimes, though. Currently, this remains the only live performance of the song, and I'm glad I was there for it.
"Army of One" was a Vida Blue carry over, and also a Phish debut. It was straightforward but solid. Page delivered some soulful vocals for this tune. Trey did some nice soloing as well. A decent first set song, but nothing too exciting. By this point the energy level was quite low; although they were playing some nice material, the combination of the wind, several new songs, no segues, and no jams to speak of had brought the set into kind:
Well, "Maze" just about pulled us out of that rut. Long, exploratory and intense, this version is worth checking out. It featured strong ensemble jamming that did get a little repetitive but remained powerful.
The first set had a few nice moments here and there, like every Phish set, but overall, it definitely lacked in momentum. The second set would make up for that. Indeed, both nights had second sets that were disproportionately stronger than the first, more so than most shows.
The Set II opener, "Piper", got right into the jam, with Trey whipping out some memorable licks. Very energetic and to the point, with skillful soloing and a driving, forceful backup from the ensemble. Great start to the set. Listening to this again, I must note that Trey's guitar tone is clearly different than what it was once. It seems a bit more shrill. I think that the tone has improved since this show, though.
The "Piper" just sort of segued into "Two Versions of Me", a recently debuted tune. It's a catchy Trey ballad with a little room for some pretty rhythm work from Trey. It will take some time to grow on fans, but I like the song. It can, sometimes, hurt the energy in, say, a second set, but in this case it didn't hurt anything. Page also plays well on this one. On my tape, I hear Trey asking, "Wanna do `Secret Smile' now, or is that too much?" Well, for the second set, I'd say that would have been too many new, slow ones in a row for my taste. Gladly, they decided against that and went into
"Tweezer", ah. I was pumped to hear this start up, but it wasn't the jam monster we're always hoping to hear. It was, like every "Tweezer" but the one later that month in Kansas, the standard, rocking mini-"Tweezer" that was the average on the Summer Tour. Although spirited, it didn't do much and was a little disappointing for a second set "Tweezer". It fizzled out into "Dogs Stole Things".
"Ghost" is one of my very favorite tunes, and it was clear they meant business from the start. The band lunges into this one with a relatively quick pace, almost yelling the lyrics. The energy is there. The jam begins fast. Page makes beautiful, ambient sounds. Then Mike begins the bass line that would come to define the song. Funky, inventive, brilliant - the band at its best. Trey catches onto it immediately, creating some smooth textures around it. The band builds around the theme, skillfully quickening the pace and carefully nurturing the energy. Mike is the anchor here; the band swirls around his infectious groove. Then Trey powers forward with a new theme, and Mike is right there. It's as if they're dancing, circling around each other, delicately crossing paths here and there, creating a stunning pattern for all onlookers. Although the jam morphs and varies, the general pattern only grows in energy, Trey takes the lead and powers ahead with an equally infectious lead that Mike glides beneath. Page suddenly tears into his piano, as the band locks into an even higher gear of collective power. Trey's guitar begins emitting what can only be described as little yelps of joy, circling around and then jumping in ecstasy. Trey's lead jumps higher and higher and Fishman begins accenting his heights with cymbal crashes. Then Trey begins soaring as if into the night sky. With a final exclamation of astounding fury and beauty, the jam settles into a steady, pounding groove where it settles briefly, only to be awoken by a simply perfect outro lead from Trey, in perfect lockstep with Fish. Within seconds, the jam fades and dissolves. And just when you think the storm is gone, the opening, ominous drum beat of "David Bowie" begins.
The band, again, throws itself into the song with exuberance, wasting no time and sparing no energy. With a full ensemble effort the band simply surges forward, creating a vortex of tension and release suspense that enveloped the audience. It felt like staring at a hurricane. The ensuing buildup is a masterpiece of precise musicianship, keen timing and a lot of heart. The ending segment is perfectly extended and built until it becomes a tower of spiraling wind. Trey hits the note and we collectively collapse, relieved, thrilled and uplifted. The band is gone, replaced by the whipping canyon winds seemingly left in their wake.

OK! Did not give up; 1st time I tried to get it setup and working, I ended up deleting it. I am BACK - this time I used a Translated German Turorial to do initial setup [settings etc.] which was a real help BUT now I am back to square ONE, actual USE of the program.......everyone just seems to jump right in and start transferring over things from their 'puter to their PS3. NOT me.
Would someone PLEASE take the time to give me SIMPLE instructions on what to do 1st on my 'puter to a file or folder with Video, Audio. or Photos......then what to do on the PS3.......IF I could just get ONE working I might stand a chance at the other media. For example: [1st - should say I have NO Audio or Video files on my puter at this time] I do have alot of photos........when I pull up the PS3 Server on the PS3 and go to the "C" drive for example and end up finding "My Photos" and tell it to OPEN......it tells me basically "NOBODY HOME".
I want to mainly use the Server to watch Netflix Movies and shows off of Hulu......PLEASE help me attain my goals.
PS - I had given up on learning how to use this "simple to use" program and went to PlayOn [ liked it alot and was going to pay for it] then I realized that that program was totally fragmenting my C Drive everytime I watched videos and next day I had to spend alot of time defragging my drive.

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop
non-Hodgkins lymphoma
with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing non-Hodgkins lymphoma. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Risk factors include:
Non-Hodgkins lymphoma seems to occur more often in people who:
Some non-Hodgkins lymphomas are associated with the use of immunosuppressive drugs that are used to prevent transplant rejection. These drugs weaken your immune system response.
The chance of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma increases with age.
Men are more likely than women to develop non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
People who work around pesticides, fertilizers, and solvents have a greater chance of developing non-Hodgkins lymphoma than people who do not have this exposure.
People with significant exposure to radiation, such as survivors of nuclear explosions or accidents or those exposed to radon gas, are more likely to develop lymphoma. Therapeutic
do not increase the risk of lymphoma.
People who have a parent with non-Hodgkins lymphoma may have an increased risk of developing this cancer. This is especially true if the family member had it at an early age.

Doug Kass: 'I'm As Bearish As I've Been in Some Time'
Hedge-fund manager Doug Kass didn't mince words in his morning missive: "I am as bearish on stocks as I have been in some time." From Kass:
At the core of my concern is that a global economy built on a foundation of excessive monetary easing is one of low quality, decaying fundamentals and not likely to be effective or self-sustaining.
To me investors are not being realistic in their expectations (and almost magical thinking) that an aggressive printing press can relieve and trump the profound challenges and headwinds to global growth without any negative consequences.
I remain concerned that much of the current investor optimism expressed in a rising stock market is not consistent with the underlying economic and profit data.
Such worries had widely been sidestepped as the market churned higher this year. But yesterday the Dow dropped 108 points, its biggest drop of the year, as minutes from the central bank's January meeting showed growing unease over future Fed stimulus. Earlier this week Kass said he was short the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) and on Thursday said via Twitter that he was 50% net short.

- 'Equities Are a Great Place to Be,' a Prudent Speculator Says
The selloff is continuing Thursday, with the Dow off another 50 points and the S&P 500 threatening to fall below 1500.
A slew of economic data released earlier today didn't paint such a rosy picture of the economy. Jobless claims rose by 20,000 to 362,000, more than economists were expecting. Consumer prices were flat, suggesting little inflation concerns right now. The Philly Fed's manufacturing index unexpectedly worsened this month after contracting in January. January existing home sales roughly met expectations.
This year's rally has coincided with a more optimistic tone that has colored the investing community. Cash has trickled back into stock funds and ETFs, investor sentiment continues to be bullish, corporate profits have held up fairly well and turmoil in Europe and Washington has waned.
None of that means all or even any of the world's problems have been solved. Still, the S&P 500 has gone more than 500 days without at least a 10% correction. Analysts have said the market is long overdue for a pullback.
"For those who are of the view that the U.S. stock market feels like it will never decline (and that global easing is the panacea for growth and ever rising share prices), we suggest you look at the price of gold in mid-September 2011 and/or the price of Apple shares in late-September 2012," Kass says. "At those points in time, investor sentiment was at an extreme. Now look at the subsequent price drops following those heights and where those prices stand today.
"It is important to remember that over market history, progress often cuts with a manic edge," Kass adds. "There is little or no permanent truth in financial markets as financial ideas have their seasons. So it is, as in the later stages of bull markets there is often a blurring between progress and fantasy."
Hey MarketBeaters, is this the beginning of the market's long overdue pullback? Is a correction in the offing? Drop your thoughts in the comments section below!

Trends in eLearning: Tracking the Impact of eLearning at Community Colleges
April 2013, Instructional Technology Council
In Focus: The Year in Review 2013: The Great Recession Continues
Recovery from the Great Recession has been slow and elusive. Most campus administrators have survived the worst of the recession, with no further cuts made to their department funding levels, but they have only experienced meager attempts to increase budget allocations. In its recent survey report, the State Higher Education Executive Officers (SHEEO) noted that, "although enrollment stabilized in 2012, the reduction in state and local support combined with an increase in inflation contributed to a nine percent decrease in state and local support per student in constant dollars from 2011. Per student support in 2012 is $5,896, the lowest level in the 25 years."
Participants in this ITC survey reported that distance education enrollments grew by 6.52 percent from fall 2011 to fall 2012. This pace was slower than in previous years (fall 2007 to 2008 saw a 22 percent increase), but the increase distance education saw surpassed the overall 2.64 percent decline in student enrollment that the entire student population (including those enrolled in face-to-face classes) at colleges experienced.
The economic downturn has had a measurable impact on the number of students attending college. During the peak of the recession, students and workers inundated community colleges in order to enhance their job skills, while college administrators worked frantically to meet the student demand by expanding their online course and program offerings. The situation is not as frantic or dire as it was several years ago, but since tuition does not pay for all of the operation costs at a community college, the decrease in state funding has meant that colleges continue to struggle to address chronic problems of student retention, course quality, ADA compliance, faculty training, student preparedness and accreditation-based assessment.
Not surprisingly, the federal and state government's interest in distance education has intensified, as student demand and enrollment in distance education has increased. Congress reauthorizes the Higher Education Act of 1965 every four to six years, so distance educators need to pay close attention to any new regulations Congress may attempt to put in place by 2014. Some key issues include: state authorization for institutions offering distance education to out-of-state students, financial aid fraud rings and student authentication.
The report outlines the following key events in 2012:
- The Rise of MOOCs
- Educators Convince Senate to Drop Provision to Restrict Financial Aid for Online Students
- Financial Aid Fraud Rings
- State Authorization for Institutions Offering Distance Education to Out-of-State Students
- Open Educational Resources and eTextbooks
- Student Authentication
Observations and Trends
by Fred Lokken, ITC Board of Directors, Dean, WebCollege, Truckee Meadows Community College
Since ITC began surveying its members in the fall of 2004, continuity in a number of response areas has emerged. Distance education administrators—regardless of their college's geographic location, number of student enrollments, staffing or budget—face many of the same challenges. Some observations about trends across the past nine years follows below.
- Student demand for distance education courses at community colleges continues to grow—at a rate that is much greater than the demand for on-campus, face-to-face courses. However, the unprecedented growth of the past decade has slowed on many campuses, as overall student enrollment at many community colleges has declined due to the resurgent economy.
- As online instruction continues to mature, distance education administrators see a pressing need to address course quality and design, faculty training and preparation, course assessment, and improvements in student readiness and retention.
- Growth in the use of blended, hybrid, Web-assisted, Web-enhanced and Web-facilitated classes continues.li>
- The gap between distance learning and face-to-face student completion rates has significantly narrowed. Nearly half of the survey respondents indicated that they have achieved equivalency.
- Community college administrators are somewhat skeptical of the MOOC movement and are cautiously exploring ways to take advantage of this popular new online course model, perhaps through competency-based learning or personal learning assessment.
- Community colleges are looking for ways to use eTextbooks and open education resources to help cut the costs students face. They are also looking at ways to overcome real and perceived barriers to their use by faculty and administrators.
- The availability of virtual student services has declined in the past few years. This trend is likely due to the budget and staff reductions many community colleges have faced. Distance educators hope college administrators will see these services as a priority as budgets and staffing return to pre-recession levels, especially since accreditors increasingly expect online student services to be equivalent or superior to the college's face-to-face, on-campus offerings.
- Many campuses continue to lack compliance with the accessibility requirements for online instruction outlined in sections 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
- The learning management system (LMS) market continues to be volatile. Despite migration fatigue, nearly one third of campuses report that they intend to change their LMS in the next two years.
- Online program administration has shifted so that more academic administrators, such as deans and academic vice presidents, are responsible for distance education, rather than library services or the IT department.
- Nearly every distance education program authenticates distance learning students by requiring them to use a unique username and passcode.
Fred Lokken, associate dean for the Truckee Meadows Community College WebCollege, authored the study based on a survey completed by 142 community colleges in the fall of 2012 (out of 283 community colleges that are members of ITC).

News 12 First at Five / Monday, October 22, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Augusta commissioners have voted down a management deal for the TEE Center.
"We have been at this for 7 years," said expected Augusta Convention Center Manager Darryl Leech. "Do we really want to be at it another seven years?"
The center will done in a matter of days, but city leaders can't reach a deal to manage the place.
"I have got to have time to set it up and run it," Leech said. "You can't open one of these things in a day."
Leech is now issuing an ultimatum.
"They are going to have to make a decision Monday to either sign this deal or cancel the first convention," Leech said.
The center is already slated to lose more than $900,000 in the first year.
"We can't afford to come out of the gate losing bookings at the facility." said Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver who called the meeting thinking he had the needed six votes to pass the agreement.
"Well you know I've learned more from disappointment than I ever have from success," he said.
One of the big sticking points centered around bonuses for convention workers.
"It gets pretty frustrating," said Mayor Pro Tem Joe Bowles about the expected 30 percent bonuses in the face of massive losses. "In any real business, if you are losing money, you are not going to give out bonuses, and if you do, you are not going to be around much longer."
"Do they need to remove those bonuses?" we asked City Administrator Fred Russell.
"I think you're being penny wise and pound foolish," said Russell, who quickly revised his statement. "If that's the only point that we are at ... I think we need to advocate for taking the bonuses out."
The expected convention operators seem to be in no mood to negotiate.
"And if we start canceling things, that box will be empty for a long time," Leech said. "The city really loses then."
Commissioners are expected to tackle the topic again next Monday.
"I think it is probably the best deal we are going to get," Bowles said.
Managers say they need 90 days to open the center. That could force them to cancel the first event in January.

I'm sitting down to write this column just before Easter. This year my son, Silas, and I are driving up to Portland to celebrate Easter with my sister. Actually this is just a coincidence since Easter happens to fall at the end of spring break this year and I was feeling guilty about the fact that I had spent most of spring break working and not doing anything more exciting with Silas than going to a movie.
Plus, Silas got a cold this week, and I remember as a child that I felt that life was profoundly unfair when I happened to get sick on a school holiday. My sister Marley exhibited true bravery and said that my favorite runny nose and I were welcome to come visit for the weekend.
I find Easter a very difficult holiday to plan for. When I was a kid my parents always had multifamily get-togethers. They rotated houses, and a couple times we even went out to Emigrant Lake for picnics and egg hunts. We dyed eggs, ate pastel candy, and occasionally some of us would go to church.
Now, as the parent of an only child, I find Easter a much quieter holiday than the celebrations of my past. I guess it could be possible for me also to plan parties and round people up for an Emigrant Lake picnic, but every year I am completely taken back by Easter.
According to some extensive research conducted by me via Google, Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox. I don't believe it. That sounds completely made up to me.
Why don't people just be honest and admit that in some secret calendar company meeting every year people throw darts at a board labeled with the Sundays of March and April? In fact, the day that people determine when to celebrate Easter could be another holiday. Hallmark could make cards proclaiming a "Happy Dart Determination Day!" I would buy that card.
When I was little I wore cute little sun dresses on Easter. Looking through old family albums of me I was surprised that the weather was always good enough for me to wear a knee length dress on Easter.
Just in Silas' eight years I think we've celebrated Easter with at least as many rain-enforced indoor Easter egg hunts as we have the outdoor variety. Plus, I feel like a big success if Silas is wearing clean clothes for pictures, let alone a fancy new Easter outfit. Now that I am a parent I become more and more impressed with my own parents.
Silas is excited to celebrate any holiday or milestone. He likes the planning and the surprises and having his whole extended family together. He's happy to spend a five-hour car ride up to Portland snacking in the backseat and playing with his little hand-held Nintendo and announcing he has to pee three-and-a-half seconds after we pass a rest stop.
My sister Marley is definitely the fun aunt, so next year I feel like she and Silas can take over the holiday planning. I'll just show up in my new spring dress.
After looking through family photo albums I came to the conclusion that I didn't just wear a dress for Easter, I wore them every day. According to my mother, I spent many years of my childhood refusing to wear anything but a skirt or dress. Of course I also had a pretty major lisp, so who knows what I was really trying to insist on. I was probably actually announcing a weather report predicting rain on Easter.
Zoe Abel is packing for her trip to Portland. Traveling with an 8-year-old requires packing more snacks than clothes. You can contact her at email@example.com.

If you want to change the session id on each log in, make sure to use session_regenerate_id(true) during the log in process.
[Edited by moderator (googleguy at php dot net)]
session_destroy — Destroys all data registered to a session
session_destroy() destroys all of the data associated with the current session. It does not unset any of the global variables associated with the session, or unset the session cookie. To use the session variables again, session_start() has to be called.
In order to kill the session altogether, like to log the user out, the session id must also be unset. If a cookie is used to propagate the session id (default behavior), then the session cookie must be deleted. setcookie() may be used for that.
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Example #1 Destroying a session with $_SESSION
// Initialize the session.
// If you are using session_name("something"), don't forget it now!
// Unset all of the session variables.
$_SESSION = array();
// If it's desired to kill the session, also delete the session cookie.
// Note: This will destroy the session, and not just the session data!
if (ini_get("session.use_cookies")) {
$params = session_get_cookie_params();
setcookie(session_name(), '', time() - 42000,
$params["path"], $params["domain"],
$params["secure"], $params["httponly"]
// Finally, destroy the session.
Only use session_unset() for older deprecated code that does not use $_SESSION.
If you want to change the session id on each log in, make sure to use session_regenerate_id(true) during the log in process.
[Edited by moderator (googleguy at php dot net)]
It took me a while to figure out how to destroy a particular session in php. Note I'm not sure if solution provided below is perfect but it seems work for me. Please feel free to post any easier way to destroy a particular session. Because it's quite useful for functionality of force an user offline.
1. If you're using db or memcached to manage session, you can always delete that session entry directly from db or memcached.
2. Using generic php session methods to delete a particular session(by session id).
$session_id_to_destroy = 'nill2if998vhplq9f3pj08vjb1';
// 1. commit session if it's started.
if (session_id()) {
// 2. store current session id
$current_session_id = session_id();
// 3. hijack then destroy session specified.
// 4. restore current session id. If don't restore it, your current session will refer to the session you just destroyed!
Note that when you are using a custom session handler, session_destroy will cause a fatal error if you have set the session destroy function used by session_set_save_handler to private.
Fatal error: Call to private method Session::sessDestroy()
where sessDestroy was the function I specified in the 5th parameter of session_set_save_handler.
Even though it isn't all that desirable, the simple solution is to set sessDestroy to public.
Destroying a session from a background job
I have a thief-protection system that compares country codes from login IPs via whois. This has to run in the background as it is way too processor-hungry to be run in the browser.
What I needed was a way to destroy the web session from the background job. For some reason, a background session_destroy APPEARS to work, but doesnt't actually destroy the web session.
There is a work around, I set the username to NULL and the web code picks up on that, bouncing the user (thief) to a "gotcha" page where his IP is logged.
Yes I know its nasty and dirty, but surprisingly it works.
$sid = the session_id() of the suspicious web session, passed in $argv to the background job
The trick is to "stuff" the $_GET array with the sid, then the session_start in the background job picks this value up (as if it were a genuine trans-sid type thing...?PHPSESSID=blah) and "connects to" the web session. All $_SESSION variable can be viewed (and CHANGED , which is how this kludge works) but for some reason (that no doubt someone will illuminate) they can't be unset...setting the particular variable to NULL works well though:
// prove we are getting the web session data
foreach($_SESSION as $k => $v) echo($k."=".$v);
// now kill the thief
//web session variable now NULL - honestly!

SAN FRANCISCO -- Over objections from the UC Student Association about his financial ties to a pro-Israel group, UCLA student Avi Oved joined the system's Board of Regents Wednesday.
Only one of the regents -- Sadia Saifuddin, the other student on the board -- voted against Oved's confirmation as student regent designate. Oved will be able to vote with the regents in his second year in office, in 2015-16.
Saifuddin, the leader of a UC Berkeley campaign to divest funds from companies that do business with the Israeli military, also had a rocky confirmation last year, with opposition by pro-Israel groups. But she voted no on Wednesday, she said, "because of the great discomfort that is being felt by students throughout the system" about Oved's nomination, not because of religion or politics.
Last month, The Daily Californian published leaked emails from last year, including one in which Oved -- then a candidate for UCLA campus office -- thanked Adam Milstein, the co-founder of the pro-Israel Adam and Gila Milstein Family Foundation, for his "generous donation" and promised to make sure UCLA "will maintain its allegiance to Israel."
In another, Milstein sought support for Oved and other UCLA student-government candidates whose opponents, he wrote, favored divestment and sanctions against Israel.
Leaders with the University of California Student Association -- the same group that had forwarded Oved's name to the regents -- asked the regents to delay the vote until September to give the group time to reassure students about Oved's nomination.
Some opponents of Oved's confirmation have zeroed in on Milstein's Twitter commentary about Islamic terrorism, calling it vitriolic and deeply offensive to Muslims and Arabs. Milstein released a statement arguing that his ire is directed at radical Islamists, not all Muslims.
"To call me racist and a Muslim-basher is a general and sweeping inaccuracy in response to me being concerned about the radical Islamists who pose constant threats to Israel and the rest of the world," he said.
Oved didn't directly address the controversy, instead discussing the issues he planned to tackle in the next two years, such as shortage of classes and sexual assault, according to prepared remarks UC released.
But in an apparent reference to the widely circulated thank-you note that has haunted him in recent weeks, he said, "As the student regent-designate, my only allegiance is to the students."

Women's Singles Draws | Women's Doubles Draws | Results Page
CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's tennis team will compete this weekend in the Women's USTA/ITA Texas Regional Championships in Forth Worth, Texas. The largest Division I tournament in the state of Texas starts Thursday, Oct. 17 and continues through Monday, Oct. 21 on the campus of TCU.
"I believe the Texas Region is the strongest region in Division I tennis," Director of Tennis Steve Moore said. "This is one of the strongest college tennis tournaments and is one of the highest-level college tournaments in the United States."
The women's region saw nine teams rank in the top 75 at one point last year with Texas A&M - Corpus Christi ranked at No. 60 in the nation in Division I. Moore, who was selected by his peers to be the regional chairman for the ITA Tennis Region, will send three players from the women's team and three players from the men's team to compete at the prestigious event.
Representing the women's team are seniors Stefania Nicolae and Sandra Burges and sophomore Maider Martin. Nicolae has reached the third round two consecutive years while Martin and Burges also followed suit advancing to the third round last year. Nicolae was crowned the 2013 Marco & Co. Catering Islanders Open women's singles champion after she topped Martin in the finals 6-4, 6-3. It was the second consecutive year the two players faced each other in the singles finals.
Nicolae received the No. 16 seed in the women's singles draw and will face Jacobea Junger of UTSA in the round of 128 at 10 a.m. on Thursday. The winner will advance to the round of 64 at 3:30 p.m.
Martin will take on Ansley Boarman of Abilene Christian in the round of 128 at 11:30 a.m. The winner will face No. 6 seed Jordaan Sanford of Baylor University at 4:30 p.m. in the round of 64.
Prior to their singles matches, Nicolae and Martin will team up in doubles play against Dominique Harmath and Alison Ho of Rice at 8 a.m. in the round of 64. The winner will play at 1:30 p.m. in the round of 32.
Burges, who teamed up with Chelsea Horan to win the women's doubles title of the Marco & Co. Catering Islanders Open, will play Shannon Beckett of Texas State in singles action at 11 a.m. The winner is set to play No. 15 Elizabeth Begley of Texas at 3:30 p.m. in the round of 64.
Along with the women's success, the Islanders men's team has held strong showings over the years with both Laurent Montoisy and Dmitry Novikov reaching the quarterfinals for the men's team. Last year, on the men's side, the Texas Region saw four teams ranked in the top 20 in the Division I Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) rankings and eight teams in the top 60, including the Islanders at No. 51 nationally.
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's tennis team will travel to Waco, Texas, to compete in the USTA/ITA Texas Regional Championships on Saturday, Oct. 19. The event will continue through Tuesday, Oct. 22 on the campus of Baylor University. Moore will send Kevin Bettendroffer, Ricardo Mayagoitia and either Guillaume Rauseo or Javier Pujol to compete. Bettendroffer captured the men's singles title of the Marco & Co. Catering Islanders Open with a 6-3, 7-6 (3) victory over Mayagoitia. Rauseo and Bettendroffer teamed up in doubles play to win the crown of the Islanders Open while Pujol won the consolation title of the men's singles final. The men's singles and doubles draws of the Texas Region will be posted on Friday.
There are 12 regions nationally in the ITA and the winner and the runner-ups of this tournament will represent their region at the National Indoors held in New York at the U.S. Open.

Historical Precedent Provides Rationale For Limits on Guns
Published: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 12:08 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 12:08 a.m.
I'm referencing the opinion from the highest court because there's a lot of misinformation from both sides of the gun-control issue. Debate predominantly circles around the meaning of the word infringe, and whether constitutional rights are absolute.
Our courts interpret our laws based on historical precedent. In District of Columbia, et al v. Heller, the Supreme Court, siding with Heller, found the District of Columbia's ban on handguns was unconstitutional, yet it further indicated that the Second Amendment is clearly conditional.
In the majority opinion, Justice Antonin Scalia writes: "Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. From Blackstone through the 19th-century cases, commentators and courts routinely explained that the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever, and for whatever purpose. For example, the majority of the 19th-century courts to consider the question held that prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons were lawful under the Second Amendment or state analogues.
"Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on long-standing prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.
"We also recognize another important limitation on the right to keep and carry arms.
"Miller said, as we have explained, that the sorts of weapons protected were those 'in common use at the time.' We think that limitation is fairly supported by the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of 'dangerous and unusual weapons.'?"

DOI Holds Second Competitive Offshore Wind Lease Sale
September 11, 2013
The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) on September 4 completed the nation's second competitive lease sale for renewable energy in federal waters, garnering $1.6 million in high bids for 112,799 acres offshore of Virginia. Virginia Electric and Power Company is the provisional winner of the sale, which auctioned a Wind Energy Area approximately 23.5 nautical miles off Virginia Beach that has the potential to support 2,000 megawatts of wind generation—enough energy to power more than 700,000 homes. The sale follows a July 31 auction of 164,750 acres offshore Rhode Island and Massachusetts for wind energy development that was provisionally won by Deepwater Wind New England, LLC, generating $3.8 million in high bids.
The leaseholder will have a preliminary term of six months in which to submit a Site Assessment Plan to DOI's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) for approval. A Site Assessment Plan describes the activities (e.g., installation of meteorological towers and buoys) the leaseholder plans to perform for the assessment of the wind resources and ocean conditions of its commercial lease area. After a Site Assessment Plan is approved, the leaseholder will have up to four and a half years in which to submit a Construction and Operations Plan (COP) for approval, which will provides a detailed outline for the construction and operation of a wind energy project on the leased property. If the COP is approved, the leaseholder will have an operations term of 33 years. See the DOI press release.

Yeah and Tom Brady was questionable all last year too right??
Sounds like a BellyChick move to me Mr. Ryan
Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...
Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...
Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...!!!
If I'm the Jets, I'd put Revis on Brown and double Wally.
Jets won't need Revis to beat the Steelers anyway. If the Steelers defend like they did last week, Sanchez will look like the league MVP.
It's amazing everyone over reacts over one game. We were without Clark and Harrison on defense. Get them back and we will be fine.
Revis still not practicing. I don't wish injury on anybody, but I'd certainly like to see Revis out of the lineup this weekend.
Per PFT. Revis is out for Sunday
Darrelle Revis sidelined for Week 2
Updated: September 14, 2012
By Jane McManus | ESPNNewYork.com
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis, tight end Dustin Keller and linebacker Bryan Thomas are scratched for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, coach Rex Ryan announced Friday.
Revis, a perrenial Pro Bowl player, sustained a mild concussion when he was kicked in the head by teammate Bart Scott in last Sunday's win over Buffalo and was diagnosed Monday. He was cleared for non-contact practice but has not been cleared for contact.
Ryan said the decision to sit him Sunday was a medical decision. Kyle Wilson will start in Revis' place.
"We'll always follow NFL protocol when it comes to concussions," Revis said. "I'm doing tests every day, doing the best I can to get back." He added Friday that he feels better and continues to improve.
This is the first concussion Revis has ever had, so he said the protocol he is following is unfamiliar to him. He practiced with the team Friday for the first time all week, in non-contact drills only.
"I felt good, it felt good to get out there," he said.
Neither Revis, Keller nor Thomas will make the trip to Pittsburgh. Keller has a hamstring injury sustained Wednesday in practice. He was not of the field Friday and the team signed TE Dedrick Epps to the active roster to fill his roster spot. Ryan said he hoped Keller woud be able to play in Week 3.
"The guys that step up and replace a guy have to maintain that level or even a little better," Ryan said. "In this case we'll take a little less, with the Darrelle Revis deal.
"It's just best that (Keller) sit out, miss this game and then hopefully be ready to go next week," Ryan said.
Thomas also has a hamstring injury and worked off to the side Friday. Although Thomas after practice expressed a desire to play, the Jets determined he wasn't ready. Garrett McIntyre will fill Thomas' role.
Meanwhile, the Jets (1-0) also ruled out guard Dennis Landolt (knee). Cornerback Isaiah Trufant (ankle) and fullback John Conner (knee) are questionable.
Not sure now if the Jets put Cromartie on Wallace and Kyle Wilson on Brown or vice versa.
We should be able to attack Ellis Lankster and Isaiah Trufant with Manny Sanders and former Jet Jerricho Cotchery, though.
The Rams' offense featuring weapons such as Marshall Faulk, Torrey Holt, and Isaac Bruce were known as "The Greatest Show on Turf"
The Steelers' offense featuring weapons such as Le'Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant should be known as "The Greatest Show on Grass"
This has nothing at all to do with respective playing surfaces at the Edward Jones Dome vs. Heinz Field.

Cancer affects us all in one way or another. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 80,000 women in the United States were diagnosed with a form of gynecological cancer in 2009 – The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2013, about 22,240 new cases of ovarian cancer will be diagnosed and 14,030 women will die of ovarian cancer in the United States.
In recognition of this terrible disease and in support of all those people who have been diagnosed, September was made ovarian cancer month.
According to the data, the mortality rates for ovarian cancer have not improved in forty years since the "War on Cancer" was declared. However, other cancers have shown a marked reduction in mortality, due to the availability of early detection tests and improved treatments. Unfortunately, this is not the case with ovarian cancer, which is still the deadliest of all gynecologic cancers.
While the tenth most common cancer among women, ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death among women, and is the deadliest of gynecologic cancers. One in 72 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in their lifetime.
As with all types of cancer, early detection is the key to beating ovarian cancer. Women of all ages are susceptible to ovarian cancer. It is important to have regular physical exams.
St. James as a community has many outreach programs and awareness celebrations for all types of cancer. Most recently, the city hosted the Relay For Life celebration, from which more than $90,000 was raised for cancer research.
Hundreds of cancer survivors and their families take the pledge to walk until a cure for cancer is found. The Relay For Life also offers the opportunity for survivors to come together to share their stories with one another.
Cancer can be a disease that makes individuals feel isolated and scared. One of the most important aspects of September Ovarian Cancer Awareness month is providing a sense of unity for those people diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

OAKLAND -- No one was arrested during a march late Saturday night throughout downtown Oakland, when some in a crowd of about 100 people broke windows, vandalized cars and buildings with spray paint and started fires in the street in protest of George Zimmerman's acquittal hours earlier in a Florida courtroom.
The atmosphere was tense, with some marchers attempting to start fights and police dressed in riot gear in front of the police department headquarters, according to staff photographer Anda Chu. Footage from television helicopters showed protesters trashing a police squad car and a line of police blocking the protesters' path.
Occupy Oakland organized the gathering over Twitter at 10 p.m., encouraging protesters to wear hoodies, as Trayvon Martin did when he was shot to death by Zimmerman.
Some protesters held a banner declaring: "We Are All Trayvon Martin." Others spray-painted anti-police graffiti throughout Frank Ogawa Plaza, while a small contingent of officers looked on from afar.
The group began to march around 11 p.m. and some began breaking windows, including some on the Oakland Tribune downtown offices.
One BART police car was also vandalized with spray paint and its windows were smashed. Protesters also burned an American and a California state flag at a McDonald's restaurant on 14th and Jackson streets and spray painted Alameda County's Davidson courthouse.
Police said no one was injured.
The Oakland protest followed a San Francisco rally by a couple hundred people who marched peacefully from the Mission and 24th Street BART station to 16th Street and back over a two-hour period while a dozen police vehicles escorted them. After some loud protests, San Francisco organizers ended their march around 10 p.m., asking participants to return Sunday at Powell and Market streets.

2.7-1 Separation of Liability and Damages
Revised to January 1, 2008
In a general sense, a civil trial such
as this has two issues: liability and damages. You will reach the issue of
damages only if you find liability in favor of the plaintiff. If you find that
liability is established, you will have occasion to apply my instructions
concerning damages. If you find that liability has not been established, then
you will not consider damages. The fact that I am instructing you on both
liability and damages should not be taken by you as any indication as to how the
court would decide liability. Rather, my charge includes both liability and
damages because I must give you instructions on all the issues in the case.

WASHINGTON -- Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will pay a combined $557 million to settle federal complaints that they wrongfully foreclosed on homeowners who should have been allowed to stay in their homes.
The agreements announced Wednesday with the Federal Reserve were similar to deals struck earlier this month with 10 other major banks and mortgage lenders. Combined, the 12 firms will pay more than $9 billion.
