SANTA CLARA — The big-time hit that 49ers safety Donte Whitner put on Falcons running back Steven Jackson cost the 49ers 15 yards, but it isn't costing Whitner any money.
The league informed Whitner on Thursday that the hit by Whitner that flattened Jackson in Monday night's game doesn't merit a fine.
"Great news! I didn't get fined! Thank you @nfl!," Whitner said via Twitter upon learning the news.
This marks the third time this season that Whitner avoided a fine from the league for hits he delivered that were deemed infractions by game officials. The first two times came as a result of helmet-to-helmet blows.
Whitner wasn't fined on one of those occasions. He successfully appealed a $21,000 fine in the other instance.
On Monday night against the Falcons, Whitner timed a screen pass for Jackson, arrived just as the ball got to Jackson and knocked him off his feet with a shoulder-led blow to the upper torso on Jackson.
An official called Whitner for unnecessary roughness on a play that looked as if it could have been called either way.
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said it's for others to pass judgment. However, when informed that Whitner wasn't fined for his hit, Fangio said: "There's your answer."
Whitner said after the game that Jackson wasn't defenseless and that he led with his shoulder and hit Jackson in the chest.
"I don't know what else you want me to do," Whitner said after the 49ers beat the Falcons 34-24.

We've been talking an awful lot lately about our new proton accelerator that will provide our patients access to proton therapy in the St. Louis area for the first time.
It's a big advance offering cancer patients with tumors in places such as the head, neck or spine, radiation delivered far more precisely and delivering less radiation to surrounding tissue. For example, look at this image of a patient's head (the less colorful lines drawn on the image, the less radiation):

Skill Level Beginner
Okay, it is lab time. Now, for the flexible layouts lab, I'm not going to make you go through the whole planning process for the desolve.org site. That would be just cruel. Rather, I am going to give you the appropriate values for the main sections, and then let you go through the layout to determine which elements to style, to achieve the desired width and spacing. You might think I am being nice to you there, but probably not. Now you'll also be determining an appropriate overall size range for the layout. You are going to be styling some interior elements and you are going to be on your own there.
And then you are going to be fixing an issue with some of the images on the homepage as well. So to starting working on a lab, go into the 06_06 directory, and open up index.htm and the main.css file, which is found in the _css folder of the 06_06. Okay. Now, I just want to go into the browser really quickly. I am going to preview where you are going to start versus where you are going to finish. So this is the starting layout. You can see our columns aren't working properly. We don't even have spacing going on there.
It does flex, but it's not exactly what we think of, when we think of a flexible layout. Now this finished version, after you are done with it, it's going to look like this. We are going to be able flex the layout, but you need to set a defined range for it, so at a certain point layout is going to stop flexing and we are also going to have to deal with these two elements right here. You are going to have to come up with the appropriate measurements to get them to space properly and still flex, and then for these images in the sidebar, you are going to have make those flexible as well, but you want them to be able to display it at a native resolution if they can.
So if I go back into the styles, you can see that the main.css that I have given you all of your labs steps, but right here some information you are going to need. You have got Left document padding, you have got the Main column Width for the left column, you got the Right column Width for the right column and you have the Right document padding on that side. So, here are steps. The first thing you are going to do is go to your Basic Layout styles at about line 156. You are going to set the body width to 90% and then find an appropriate range for minimum and maximum page width, so that's going to be left up to your own discretion, and it's going to be based on number of factors, but remember, you can take some screenshots, you can take measurements of the screening, and you can kind of figure out where the layout fails once you get everything set up and help plan you range from there, so, that's actually something in terms of the minimum and maximum page width, that you might want to do once everything else is finished, so you can really determine where you still have problems within the layout.
And using the values that we have right up here, you again, want to go down into the Basic Layout styles, find the selectors for the article, in the aside selectors, find those and then set the appropriate width and padding values for both of those elements. After you are done with that, go into the Content Region styles, which you can find on about line 184. Now you are going to have to go and find the selectors that control the header, main navigation and banner regions, and then you are going to determine what property you need to modify and what value you need to set, so that it's content lines up with the rest of the page content.
For the two news selectors which are on line 347, those are the two that are side by side, you need to determine an appropriate width padding and margin to get those elements to display side-by- side within acceptable amount of padding and spacing between the elements. Now there is a lot of judgment call that's going be going on there. So your values might not match with my finished values, and that's okay. So as long as you are comfortable with the spacing of it, that's fine. Now for the contest image selector which is found on line 635 in the css, you are going to need to add a property that allows the images to display at their normal size if that's available, and then still scaling it, if the screen size is reduced.
Now, I said, you may, but that's a big hand that you are going to have to. You are going to have to go in and modify the image tags directly in the index.htm file as well. So if you go into the code and you scroll down, you are going to go into the aside and you are going to find those images right here, so about line 182 and line 77, okay. So I'm betting to that, it's probably enough to keep you guys busy for a while. Now for this lab, you may need to go back to some of the previous movies and refresh your memory about a few of the techniques that we covered. That's fine.
You'll also need to make a few educated guesses and probably employ a little trial and error on a few of the elements. And to be honest, I did that to you on purpose. Now usually when you're working with fluid layouts, especially really complex ones, your initial planning works fine up to a point. Then there are always places within the layout that you are just going to have to test and tweak in order to get the layout looking the way you wanted to. And don't forget, once you've finished to watching the solutions movie that follows this one, to compare your code to mine, and hear my take on how I solved some of these problems.

Voicing Lament
Most of us know someone for whom life has been particularly hard. Maybe they live with chronic pain, have faced the loss of a child, or have faced multiple adversities. Perhaps you've been in this place too. If so, you'll know that dealing with these challenges can be spiritually depressing. We want God to intervene, but He hasn't. And that can leave us feeling sad, lonely, and angry.
Seasons of Grief
Last year I received two pieces of extremely sad news within a few hours. First came the news that a dear friend died of a sudden heart attack. Steve, who was only 60 years old, was a good man who loved Jesus and his family. A few hours later brought the tragic news of a dearly loved couple whose marriage collapsed under the weight of an adulterous affair.
Their faces are wrung with anguish. Bloodied survivors of a terrorist attack stumble out of their Kenyan campus. German families grimly gather at a crash site in the French Alps. Nepalese parents dig through rubble, desperately calling the name of their lost child. As long as we live in a fallen world, humans will have moments when it seems we can't go on.
Just Sleeping?
A euphemism is "a polite expression used in place of words or phrases that otherwise might be considered harsh or unpleasant to hear." Instead of saying, "We ended our dog's life," we say, "We put our dog to sleep."
Singing Through Sadness
Our young daughter has developed the habit of singing whenever I cut her toenails. Her musical expression seems to shift her focus from the instinct to pull her foot away to the joy of happy melodies. Research has proven the physiological, neurological, and emotional benefits of singing. So belting out your favorite tune will help elevate your mood, boost your immune system, and benefit your brain.
Let Us Love
It was a great tragedy for our whole community. My daughter's first-grade teacher died in childbirth, along with her baby. She was just 36 years old. It broke my heart to see her in a casket with the baby in her arms.
Joy to the World
For two of my friends, this yuletide season will be a difficult one. They've both lost loved ones during this period, and the festive season reminds them of the painful absence. Sometimes it's hard to feel joyous during Christmas.
What Can't be Seen
On a Thursday, my friends' 10-year-old daughter was laughing and playing with her family and friends. The following Monday, she was in heaven.
living large
When a family member of two of my co-workers was killed in a construction accident, the love for this outgoing outdoorsman, faithful husband, and father of two was on full display. The country church he called home couldn't possibly handle all the mourners, so the service was moved to a larger sanctuary. Friends and family flooded the church building! And the unspoken message of the abundant attendees was clear: Tim Dougherty touched many lives in a way that was uniquely his because he lived life with his strong, loving arms wrapped around his family and friends.
Loving the Lonely
Finishing up a long day's work, I pressed the touch screen on my computer one last time and saw a date that was very familiar. Just like that it hit me: Today is my dad's birthday. Quickly my thoughts went to my mom. Widowed 20 years ago, my mother is a living testimony of God's provision and strength for those who come face to face with life's hard unpredictability.
A Friend in Need
Some dear friends of mine lost their little boy, Raphael, to death after just 8 weeks of life. Although my heart broke for them and I longed to be a comfort, I had no idea how to ease their pain.
With Hope Full
Taking his dark, weathered hands in mine, we bowed to pray. As a custodian (him) and as a teacher (me), our different life experiences intersected in my tiny office this week. His mother had been sick for some time, and the disease that had previously been confined to one area had now spread to her entire body. Confident of God's ability to heal, we prayed for Him to restore her body—and we also asked for the miracle of comfort that supersedes death. Tonight, her son sits by her bedside and knows he will soon have to say goodbye. For now, anyway.
With Us
Why do people get cancer? Why do the innocent suffer? Why do hard things come into the lives of those who are doing so much good?
death's sting
Near the closing of the film Forrest Gump, Forrest is standing alone at the foot of the grave of his dearly beloved Jenny: "You died on a Saturday morning. And I had you placed here under our tree. . . . Momma always said dyin' was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't."
A True Friend
A few months after his son's tragic death, my friend told me that people who had been close were now avoiding him and his family. He said it was as if people no longer wanted to be around them. I asked him why he thought the poor comforters were acting this way. His answer troubled me, for I knew it was the hard truth: "When people don't feel they can fix a situation, they try to pretend it's not there. They feel embarrassed."

A short while ago, we told you about Instagrille – a great way to use Instagram on your desktop, no phone or browser required. If you've already tried Instagrille, or if you're still considering it, you'd be happy to hear that the app has just received a complete revamp, and is now even better than before, with features you won't even find on Instagram itself.
Instagrille is an Instagram desktop client for Windows (soon for Mac too) which lets you browse your Instagram feed, comment and like photos, follow new people and do anything else you can do with the mobile client – all on your computer. The new version includes a "Nearby" option, which lets you browse photos taken close to your current location. You can use this option even without signing in with your Instagram account.
Another new option on Instagrille is the ability to download photos to your computer. While viewing an Instagram photo, all you have to do is click "Download Image" to save it. This works with any Instagram image you find. If you prefer, Instagrille also has a new web interface where you can browse and share photos.
Download the new version of Instagrille here. Note that Instagrille runs on Pokki, an app platform which will be automatically installed along with Instagrille. You can browse Pokki for more useful apps once its installed on your computer.
Do you think Instagram on desktop is a good idea, or should it be left for mobile?

I had a couple of requests for holiday party lookbooks and I tried to do some but each time I got dressed up, guess what? it rained! Boooo. So I was able to squeeze one party outfit in during the few hours where it wasn't raining. I ran outside to take this picture and came back in and literally 5 minutes later, downpour! So I guess I was lucky I even got these pictures. I didn't go to any fancy schmancy parties this year so no fun sparkly gowns but for a nice dinner party, I pulled out a LBD that I bought ages ago but never wore. The pictures don't show the details too well but it's got layers of poofy tulle that make it a perfect little party dress.
I love this! It comes in gray too.
Alice + Olivia Tessie Tulle One Shoulder Dress
eeeeek! Sooo pretty!
This Modcloth Sound Check Dress is really cute too. I love long sleeve dresses. The Sweet Jamz Dress is pretty dang cute too.
Steve Madden Glitter Pump
These Louboutins are a lot more of a subtle glitter but gorgeous nonetheless! And these for sure will get you noticed!
Taking a little holiday break so see you guys next week. Hope you guys enjoy your holidays!
If you missed it last year here's my adorable card that I sent out that I don't think I can top this year. (Original design by my husband with input from me!)

All of Belgium can heave a collective sigh of relief. Tom Boonen has finally won a stage! After watching his chief rivalsand even a teammatebeat him to the line, it was looking like Groundhog Day for Belgium's most popular rider. In 2006, Boonen was wearing the rainbow jersey of World Champion and while he rode well in the spring classics, winning the Tour of Flanders for a second time, he just couldn't not find his high gear in France. It was a huge disappointment made even
more so by the rainbow jersey on his shoulders.
I first met Tom in 2002 when he was a virtually unknown 21-year-old, first-year pro racing for Lance Armstrong's U.S. Postal Squad. I was in the San Francisco airport heading over to the spring classics and looked up to see a rider adorned in USPS team sweats waiting in line next to me for a flight to Belgium. Boonen was the only guy on the squad I didn't know so it was pretty easy to get the name right. We spent 14 hours together making our way to his home country--unfortunately, there are no direct flights from San Francisco to Belgium.
Just at the start of his professional cycling career, Tom had so much energy and excitement like a kid at his first Christmas. He was a refreshing change from the battle-hardened veterans and I could see that there was definitely a fire down below. I was so convinced that Tom would do well in that year's classics that I phoned my editors at Cycle Sport magazine in London and pleaded with them to let me do an article on Tom. They, and everybody else, had never heard of him so they politely refused.
After three phone calls in three days, they finally relented and I was given the assignment to do a 1-page intro piece. Tom and I hooked up the day before Paris-Roubaix. That same excitement was still there so much so that Tom told me he had awoken that day and started putting on his racing kit only to be told by his roommate that the race was tomorrow.
Of course, the rest is history. Tom went on to finish third in the race and a superstar was born. My piece never made the magazine. Once my editors realized what they had, they assigned a Belgian journalist to do a full feature reasoning that a fellow countryman could get the best out of this up and coming rider. So it goes!

Broaden your selection: Category/Graphics
3d (93)
- 3dldf
- 3DLDF is a GNU package for three-dimensional drawing with MetaPost output. It is written in C++ using CWEB. It is intended, among other things, to provide a convenient way of including 3D graphics in TeX documents. This package includes an interactive program called `3dldf', which implements a language intended to resemble Donald Knuth's METAFONT language and John Hobby's MetaPost language, which is based on METAFONT.
- AdaGate
- A combination of Portal and Sokoban, AdaGate is a great example of OpenGL programming using the Ada language. It is F.O.S., of course.
While exploring a remote south-seas island you make a startling historical discovery. But before you can report your findings, an operational stargate transports you into a curious sequence of dungeons. Your escape will require the logical rearrangement of weird power cells, called Zero Point Modules (ZPMs), that can roll in only two directions.
You can shoot your portal guns at the dungeon walls to define a wormhole. But, in order to activate it, all of the ZPMs must be bumped into their sockets. Now, you can only PUSH the ZPMs. That means you will fail if you roll one into a corner or against a wall.
Escape each level and find your way back to a beautiful lake on the surface.
The degree of difficulty is now selectable. Each game resumes at the beach but progress from previous games is tracked. Complete all 4 levels to access the lake epilog and reset the game.
Uses fully modern OpenGL methods in Ada using textures, shaders and uniforms that achieves version 3.3 core profile contexts in a way that is sufficiently mainstream that it easily compiles and runs on both GNU/Linux and Mac OS-X systems. This project serves as a testbed for learning the complexities of modern OpenGL and GLSL.
Absolutely no coding efforts or compromises have been made to accomodate proprietary operating systems except for learning how to compile on OS-X. It relies on a thin SDL2 binding from Dan Vazquez, a thin OpenGL binding from "Lumen", a PNG reader by Stephen Sanguine, and SFML-Audio.
If one defines "modern" OpenGL to mean version 3.3 or beyond, then this may be the most functionally advanced demonstration of "modern" OpenGL using Ada to be found. The code itself is far from elegant, but serves as a working example, with focus on learning OpenGL. The Ada bindings used are thin, so the relationship to C++ methodology is quite transparent. Developers should note that these Ada bindings are usable as a standalone library for most any OpenGL project.
Media Files Note: The particular choices of sound, image, and shader files (*.fs) delivered are not essential to the function of the game and are easily replaced. This software is primarily intended as a tutorial example of modern OpenGL game assembly methods. The only requirements are that sounds be in WAV format, images be in PNG format, and shaders be updated to GLSL 330 specifications.
- Algart
- AlgART are free software Java libraries, supporting generalized smart arrays and matrices with elements of any types (1 bit, 8/16/32/64-bit integers, 32/64-bit floating point values and any other Java types), including a wide set of of 2D-, 3D- and multidimensional image processing and other algorithms, working with arrays and matrices.
Main Features
- The libraries use 63-bit addressing of array elements (all indexes and length are represented by 64-bit long type). So, it's theoretically possible to create and process arrays and matrices containing up to 2^63-1 (~10^19) elements of any primitive or non-primitive types, if OS and hardware can provide necessary amount of memory or disk space.
- Memory model concept allows storing AlgART arrays in different schemes, from simple Java arrays to mapped disk files; all necessary data transfers are performed automatically while every access to an element or a block of elements.
- Most of algorithms are based on wide usage of lazy evaluations. Typical operations, like elementwise summing or geometrical matrix transformations, are implemented via lazy views of the source array or matrix.
- For example, you can take a multidimensional matrix, rotate it (or perform any other affine or projective transform), and then extract a submatrix from the result. All these operations will be performed virtually (not requiring time), and actual calculations will be performed only at the moment of accessing elements, usually while copying the resulting matrix to a newly created one. Moreover, in many cases the libraries will "understand" itself, that the user wants to perform rotation or another transform, and will split the matrix into suitable rectangular blocks (fitting in RAM) and choose the best algorithm for this task at the moment of copying operation.
- The libraries contain a wide set of image processing algorithms over matrices: linear filtering, mathematical morphology, rank operations, spectral transformation (FFT), etc.
- There is also skeletonization and measuring of binary images.
- Aqsis
- Aqsis is a Renderman(tm) compliant 3D rendering toolkit. It is based on the Reyes rendering approach. Features include programmable shading, true displacements, NURBS, CSG, Motion Blur, and direct rendering of subdivision surfaces.
- ArtofIllusion
- Art of Illusion can be used as a 3D Modeller and can be used to create movies. It can currently import and export Alias .obj files and export VRML97 files (without animation). To create movies, Art of Illusion has a offline renderer and set of tools to create animations. Highlights include subdivision surface based modelling tools, skeleton based animation, and a graphical language for designing procedural textures and materials.
- Asymptote
- 'Asymptote' is a script-based vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text. It is a programming language, not just a graphics program, so it can use the best features of both scripts and GUIs. High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself, so they can be tailored to specific applications. Labels and equations are typeset with LaTeX for high-quality PostScript output.
- Ayam
- Ayam is a free 3D modelling environment for the RenderMan interface. Ayam features at a glance:
- RIB (RenderMan Interface Bytestream) export and import.
- Support for NURB curves and (trimmed) NURB surfaces, Boxes, Quadrics (Sphere, Disk, Cylinder, Cone, Hyperboloid, Paraboloid, and Torus), CSG, MetaBalls, Polygonal and Subdivision Meshes.
- NURBS modelling includes normal and interpolating curves as well as extrude, revolve, sweep, skin, gordon, and birail objects with caps, holes, and bevels.
- Custom objects that may freely implement their representations (using OpenGL and RIB) and even small GUIs to edit their type specific parameters may be written by the user and dynamically loaded at runtime.
- Scripting interface: Tcl.
- Miscellaneous: instancing, arbitrary number of modeling views, object clipboard, independent property clipboard, console, n-level undo.
- BRL-CAD includes an interactive geometry editor, parallel ray-tracing support for rendering and geometric analysis, path-tracing for realistic image synthesis, network distributed framebuffer support, image-processing and signal-processing tools.
- Blender
- Blender is an integrated 3D suite for modelling, animation, rendering, post-production, interactive creation and playback (games).
Blender has its own particular user interface, which is implemented entirely in OpenGL and designed with speed in mind. Python bindings are available for scripting; import/export features for popular file formats like 3D Studio and Wavefront Obj are implemented as scripts by the community. Stills, animations, models for games or other third party engines and interactive content in the form of a standalone binary and/or a web plug-in are common products of Blender use.
- The goal of the CGAL Project is to provide easy access to efficient and reliable geometric algorithms in the form of a C++ library. CGAL is used in various areas needing geometric computation, such as: computer graphics, scientific visualization, computer aided design and modeling, geographic information systems, molecular biology, medical imaging, robotics and motion planning, mesh generation, numerical methods...
CGAL offers data structures and algorithms like triangulations (2D constrained triangulations and Delaunay triangulations in 2D and 3D), Voronoi diagrams (for 2D and 3D points, 2D additively weighted Voronoi diagrams, and segment Voronoi diagrams), Boolean operations on polygons and polyhedra, arrangements of curves and their applications (2D and 3D envelopes, Minkowski sums) mesh generation (2D Delaunay mesh generation and 3D surface mesh generation, skin surfaces), geometry processing (surface mesh simplification, subdivision and parameterization, as well as estimation of local differential properties, and approximation of ridges and umbilics), alpha shapes, convex hull algorithms (in 2D, 3D and dD), operations on polygons (straight skeleton and offset polygon), search structures (kd trees for nearest neighbor search, and range and segment trees), interpolation (natural neighbor interpolation and placement of streamlines), shape analysis, fitting, and distances (smallest enclosing sphere of points or spheres, smallest enclosing ellipsoid of points, principal component analysis), and kinetic data structures. All these data structures and algorithms operate on geometric objects like points and segments, and perform geometric tests on them. These objects and predicates are regrouped in CGAL Kernels.

Rwanda, Meet the Wall of Money
Every few months, a new bond comes along that's touted as a new example of how investors' search for yield has broken new ground.
First it was a bond issued by Zambia. Then it was Mongolia (on which, more here.) Now, step forward Rwanda.
Rwanda is diving into the bond markets for the first time, with a $400 million 10-year deal to be precise. Yields are expected to come in at just over 7% when the deal prices Thursday. BNP Paribas and Citi will lead the issue.
To put the yields in context, Spanish 10-year bonds traded at a yield over 7% last summer.
Of course, the global tide of liquidity is likely to help this deal along. Policy rates in developed economies are famously low, and now the Bank of Japan has prompted a fresh surge of investment into anything with a pulse by flooding its local bond market. (We're still getting mixed signals over whether that will trigger a rush of private capital out of Japan any time soon, but the market's not sitting around waiting to find out. Other government bonds, and corporate bonds for that matter, are on a tear anyway. This same wall of money has dragged Spanish 10-year yields down to their lowest levels since late 2010, to trade around 4.3% Wednesday.)
It may not be an entirely smooth ride for Rwanda's debut market appearance.
Some investors may be unnerved by the suspension of aid to the country in late 2012. Funds worth around $250 million from the developed world and the World Bank, already counted in the 2012/2013 State budget, were delayed after a United Nations report late last year said Rwanda was arming rebels in the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo–an accusation that Rwanda denied. Some aid has since restarted.
On more technical matters, at $400 million–a level that does not look set to rise–the bond is too small for inclusion in most major bond indexes. That means index-tracking investors will not automatically buy it. They may choose to, of course, but they have more of a choice; ironically it might be cheaper to borrow more.
On the flip side, investors may see Rwanda's restraint in limiting the size of the bond as a positive point. The country isn't borrowing cash for the sake of it; it has got specific projects in mind.
Whatever the speedbumps in getting this deal away, it looks set to be used as fodder to support every world view. Those arguing that the hunt for yield has touched markets where risk factors are too high for many investors will have something to say.
And so will frontier-market cheerleaders. "It offers investors some diversification, in an economy modelling itself on the Singaporean growth model since the 1960s," said Charlie Robertson, chief economist at Renaissance Capital in London. "Assuming the bond is successful, and in this yield environment it should be, then Rwanda will help re-invigorate investment projects which have been impacted by the suspended international aid flows."

Bankers at high-end institutions like ING Groep and ABN Amro tend to look down on their peers at Rabobank, which is often scorned for being dull — a bank for farmers run by farmers.
But they may have had their last laugh.
Rabobank said Friday it will enter a strategic partnership with Agricultural Bank of China, a state-owned rural lender that is preparing itself for what might become the world's largest initial public offering.
The tie-up will give Rabobank access to AgBank's 24,000-branch network, one of the biggest in China, enabling it to bolster its position in a country where growth rates make a lot of hearts melt at Western banks.
"[AgBank] really is a megabank, the third-largest in China, and it will strengthen our position as a global lender to the food and agriculture sector," a Rabobank spokeswoman said gleefully.
So, the appeal of China to Rabobank is obvious. But why would Agbank pick "boring" Rabobank as a partner?
Two factors might shed some light.
Firstly, with branches in nearly 50 countries, Rabobank has become the world's leading lender for the food and agriculture sectors in the past decades. Rabo will use its expertise to help improve AgBank's know-how on trade finance, rural banking and risk management. This is valuable for AgBank which suffers a big legacy of bad loans and is urged by the Chinese government it has to continue supporting less-developed regions after the IPO.
Secondly, Rabobank is one of the few banks in the Western hemisphere that emerged from the financial crisis relatively unscathed. Unlike its Dutch rivals ING and ABN Amro, Rabo didn't need state aid to survive and it even managed to keep its triple-AAA rating. This works in Rabo's favor, considering China's growing disdain for Western banks who were quashed in the financial crisis.
Being boring can be very lucrative sometimes.

"Expecting A Different Result?" (2 of 3 in 'No Customer Left Behind' Series)
By Kathryn Perry-Oracle on Nov 26, 2012
A guest post by David Vap, Group Vice President, Oracle Applications Product Development
Many companies already have some type of customer experience initiative in process or one that could be framed as such. The challenge is that the initiatives too often are started in a department silo, don't have the right level of executive sponsorship, or have been initiated without the necessary insight and strategic business alignment.
You can't keep doing the same things, give it a customer experience name, and expect a different result. You can't continue to just compete on price or features ─ that is not sustainable in commoditized markets. And ultimately, investing in technology alone doesn't solve customer experience problems; it just adds to the complexity of them.
You need a customer experience strategy and approach on how to execute a customer-centric worldview within your business.
To develop this, you must take an outside in journey on how your customers are interacting with your business to establish a benchmark of your customers' experiences. Then you must get cross-functional alignment on what you are trying to achieve, near, mid, and long term.
Your execution of that strategy should be based on a customer experience approach:
- Understand your customer: You need to capture the insights across interactions, channels (including social), and personas to better understand whom to serve, how to serve them, and when to serve them. Not all experiences or customers are equal, so leverage this insight to understand the strategic business objectives you need to address. Then determine which experiences can be improved immediately and which over time to get the result you need.
- Empower your ecosystem: You need to align your front-line employees with your strategy and give them the power, insight, and tools that allow them to cultivate a culture around strengthening the relationships with your customers. You also need to provide the transparency, access, and collaboration that enable your customers and partners to self serve and self solve and to share with ease.
- Adapt your business: You need to enable the discipline of agility within your organization and infrastructure so that you can innovate, tailor, and personalize experiences. This needs to be done both reactively from insight and proactively in real time so you can stay ahead of shifting market trends and evolving consumer behaviors.
No longer will the old approaches provide the same returns. To compete, differentiate, and win in a world where the customer has the power, you must execute a strategy that is sure to deliver a better brand experience for your customers.
Note: This is Part 2 in a three-part series. Part 1 is here. Stop back for Part 3 on November 28.

Abbay Media's Absence and ESAT
Abbay Media is Back!
Dear Fellow Ethiopians
After an absence of nearly 2 years, we are happy to inform you that Abbay Media has now resumed its service. Abbay Media believes you the public deserve an explanation why our service was interrupted for such long period of time.
Abbay Media was launched in 2007 after fully recognizing the crucial role of such a media, by making available factual information and archiving it for the public, in a way of contributing to the effort of finding a solution to the muti facets problems of our country Ethiopia.
Two years after successfully running Abbay Media, Abbay Media's editor saw an opportunity of establishing and transmitting an independent television directly to Ethiopia.
Understanding the tremendous impact, which an independent Television transmitting direct to Ethiopia could bring to our society, Abbay Media's editor decided to fully focus on making this dream a reality, which will help us break the cycle of dictatorship, with a full vision and belief that we, Ethiopians in the Diaspora could and should put our collective effort together and establish our own first free media institution.
After a 6 months extensive research with two other Ethiopian friends, we reached to the conclusion that, YES! We, Ethiopians can start, and run a successful television station. It took an additional 8 months for the prelaunch preparation, which Abbay Media's editor played a leading role. Amongst the many contributions Abbay Media's editor is proud to have named this historic free media 'Ethiopian Satellite Television – ESAT' and designed its logo.
Abbay Media's editor moved to Amsterdam for a period of 3 months, to manage the successful establishment of the first ESAT studio. Together with the effort and sacrifice of many patriotic Ethiopians, ESAT successfully transmitted it first broadcast to Ethiopia on the 8th April 2010.
Abbay Media's Editor then traveled back to London and managed the establishment of the ESAT London Studio. The ESAT Washington DC Studio was established with the help of local Ethiopians.
Together with a great patriotic team, the Board, the Management, the Journalists, the Presenters, the Technicians and most importantly the International Supporters, Abbay Media's editor worked day and night to ensure the continuity and viability of ESAT, hence the reason for Abbay Media website absence for the last two years.
After realizing his vision of establishing a truly Ethiopian and most importantly free media institution, which provides a platform for members of the Ethiopian Free press who had being prosecuted by the TPLF's Dictatorial regime to freely practice their profession in their own country, Abbay Media's editor is now back to carry on the mission of Abbay Media, as 'the Ethiopian Information Bank'. (http://abbaymedia.com/mission-statement).
We have redesigned our website which now incorporate various modern features. To enable the growing user of smart phones (Iphone) and tablets (IPad), Abbay Media is now the first Ethiopian news site to be optimized for smart phone and I-Pad, which will enable our visitors easy surfing experience when using their modern gadgets. You can Experience it right now by visiting our site using your modern devices.
Abbay Media will have important News, Articles, new materials in Amharic and English, , Videos, Events …etc on anything related to Ethiopia on a daily basis.
We kindly ask you to regularly visit us as one of your daily choice of Ethiopian Website.
Please do inform others that we are now back.

Once again many congratulations and hope you will maintain this attitude throughout your future in this good will achievement.
Thanking You
Yours Sincerely,
Raswork Mengesha
Are you sure you started ESAT? I know Dr Birhanu was the person who single handedly created ESAT, starting from generating the idea using his bright mind to the implementation. Why do you try to take credit for something you haven't done. You may have done the donkey work but the grate Dr Birhanu takes all the credit for creating the most dynamic media ever created in Ethiopian History. I know you personally and know you work hard, but please give the credit to where it is due.
k semra
The ALMIGHTY is with you and Ethiopia. Please continue the GOOD JOB. Many are behind you supporting in every way shape or form until One United Free EEthiopia is a REALITY!

Adam Levine Exceeds Douchey Expectations, Every Single Time
6/11/2014 10:00 AM PDT, by Emily Trainham
If there's one thing that Adam Levine is really good at, like if you had to name just one thing that he just hits right out of the ballpark every single time, it's being a douchebag. Sure, he's got a successful band or whatever, and everybody loves watching "The Voice," but the being a douchebag thing, that's probably his greatest gift. That's what he was put on this world to do.
And now, since Adam is getting married soon to Behati Prinsloo, model and poor unfortunate soul, he's figured out how to be awful about that, too! Because right now, Adam is allegedly taking the time to reach out to some ex-girlfriends of his. And why? To apologize for being such a douchebag. Because of course that's what he needs to do. Apparently, the thing is that he wants to feel good about himself before he gets married, but you know what the greatest part is? The greatest part is that no one wants to hear about it. According to the source that spilled all this information, "they couldn't care less he wants to make it right." Amazing, right?
One final thing that Adam might be willing to do to make himself feel better about being such a giant douche canoe? Getting his soon-to-be wife's name tattooed on his chest, right over his heart. Because nothing says "true love" like yet another tacky tattoo.
Here's the thing: if you're so gross that you actually feel the need to apologize to a number of your exes, then maybe you should consider some introspection instead of marriage. Maybe that says a great big giant thing about yourself that requires more attention than "oh, I know, I'll get a tattoo!" Or maybe, I don't know, you're just a big ol' ass hat, and that's your lot in life. Who even knows?

February 19, 2007
Another product you might have in your fridge is being recalled. This time it isn't peanut butter...it's chicken.
Columbia-based Carolina Culinary Foods is recalling more than 52,000 pounds of fully cooked chicken breast strips that it produces for Oscar Mayer.
That totals out to more than 100,000 packages...and they were distributed all over the country
The chicken is being called back because the US Department of Agriculture's Aood Safety and Inspection service says many of the packages may be contaminated with a disease called listeria.
Doctors say listeria has symptoms that are very similar to salmonella.
"Signs and symptoms are fever, body aches, nausea and diarrhea," Janis Coffin of the Medical College of Georgia told 12 On Your Side. "They can progress to the nervous system, where it can cause neck stiffness and that can lead to meningitis."
The recalled packages will have establishment number P-19676 on the USDA inspection label and will have a "use by" date that reads 19 April 2007.
If you have one of those packages, you can just take it back to the store you bought it from for a full refund.
If you have further questions about the recall, call Kraft at 1-800-871-7117.

Historical Traveler Reviews Spencer Hotel Dublin IFSC
Best of the 2-week trip
Over a 2 week trip through Ireland and London, the Clarion IFSC came out the best. Modern, with solid construction and (thank you!) air-conditioning; clean and quiet; friendly staff.
We were a party of 3 and were accommodated in a 2-room (plus *large* bathroom) suite. Though we were at the back of the hotel we had decent views, and a large balcony (with table and chairs). Location-wise you are a few blocks from the start of the tourist areas, but in exchane you do *not* get the street noise (pedestrian and auto) that you would get in Temple Bar, O'Connel Street, etc. Also, if you want to travel on a budget there is a small supermarket and a couple convenience stores nearby, so you can buy fruit & veg and not eat out every meal.
An Ordinary Hotel
Rooms on small side but clean with a very comfortable bed. A bit of a shock was the room service menu after 11 p.m. allthat is on offer is cold sandwiches, nice though, or soup. Having experienced some of Dublin's hospitality we were in need of something more substantial. We were not looking for a three course meal but I would have thought a range of hot snacks would have been in order.
The leisure facilities were somewhat limited with what may well be Dublin's smallest jacuzzi. No loungers around poolside. A bit more attention to detail and this hotel could be so much better.
Excellent choice
Thanks to expedia I got a good rate on the Clarion - asked for a corner room on arrival as one of tripadvisor reveiws said it was a good room - and the receptionist gave me top floor, corner room - hugh balcony over looking the liffy - excellent suite, the kids 12 & 9 loved the clean well supervised swimming pool. The hotel is a must stay in - I have stayed in the Fitzwilliam before - but much prefered this. Well worth a visit.2 down sides - breakfast is 20 euro - a bit pricey - but if your a big eater it is value for money as it is a buffet.We ate at Milano's beside the hotel and it was not worth the 70euros. But I suppose you live & learn - be advised!!!Thanks tripadvisor - and all the reviews - I would'nt book any where without reading your advice first and so far it's been spot on.
Relaxing location in Dublin
Just returned from 4 nights at the Clarion. Having stayed in Dublin on 3 other occassions in the O'Connell Street area, we were pleasantly rewarded with relaxed, more stylish accommodations. The hotel is located well east of the hustle and bustle of the city centre along the quay on the north side of the river. If you like the excitement of tourists and shoppers crowding about - don't stay here! This hotel is in a quiet, newly renovated (and renovating) area of mostly banking and other businesses. Lots of lovely little restaurants in the area to explore, but no shops. Close to the main bus station and Connolly train station (5 min walk). Very helpful front desk and lovely buffet breakfast. Our top floor, corner room was wonderfully spacious. The bathroom, with its marble and separate tub and shower - was bigger than some of the hotel rooms we've had in the past. We will return to the Clarion on a future Dublin visit. Though we sometimes missed immersing ourselves in the crowds of O'Connell and Grafton streets, we had a wonderful, lovely vacation and have returned home refreshed and relaxed. Slainte!
Not really worth it!
I'm not sure if I stayed at the same hotel as all the other reviewers, but I was not impressed by this hotel. The location is average - not exactly the most pictureque part of Dublin and the service was apalling. A lovely girl greeted us at reception and that's where it all ended. Suspicious stains on the pillows, slow room-service ("we're busy") and the restaurant was in complete chaos with no real order or professionalism. When checking out they even tried to charge us for an extra bottle of wine!I felt like I was spending the night in 'Fawlty Towers'
Lovely place to get away from work for the weekend. I flew to Dublin, took the bus into the centre and this hotel was only a 10-15 minute walk from there. A super base for the city. I got an upgrade upon arrival, which was a treat. The room was lovely with a fantastic view along the river. Facilities were good and room service excellent. The only thing that annoyed me (and it is only a very minor niggle) were the pillows on the bed - foam filled apparently and not very nice to get comfy on. But I didn't make a complaint about it.
Anyway, a good choice of hotel - and I only booked it after what I read on this site!
Excellent value for the money
A very nice hotel. Rooms are quiet, good sized, and have all the amenities expected in a first class establishment. One of our travelers' reserved room was not available upon arrival and check-in. When we returned to the hotel later, the front desk upgraded the room to a spacious corner suite. A USER FRIENDLY hotel. It only a short walk from all the "good tourist stuff" in downtown Dublin. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting wonderful Dublin.
Good for weekend break
This is a very new hotel in the business district. The rooms are large, clean and very modern. Staff are friendly and helpful. The pool and jacuzzi are a big plus and very clean. It is about 15 mins walk from the main city centre, but the area seemed safe and well lit, but not as busy as say Temple bar at night,so may need a taxi late at night. Only problem we had was slow room service-but very polite and apologetic.Food is quite good-but the bar was a little sterile. Overall good for a weekend break.
Simpy fantastic hotel
We stayed at the Clarion for a weekend ( August 22-25) and I have to say it was one the best hotels that we stayed in, in a long time.Arrived at 12.30pm and our room was ready. The staff were very friendly. Took the lift to the room.Before we entered room, even the corridors were lush. The room was fantastic, large bright and modern, with a excellent marble bathroom with powertub and shower. Also tv with too many channels and also keyboard for the internet and a playstation controller. The minibar was stocked pretty good as well.After settling in we decided to avail of the cool leisure facilities...a gym (that would put my �50 a month gym here at home to shame) a lovely pool, sauna steamroom and jacuzzi.We then headed into in the centre of Dublin which was a 10 minute walk for a few drinks...Next morning we had a simply excellent breakfast, well attended by superb staff and the selection was excellent in a very posh setting. Again afterwards we had a dip in the pool (which wasn't busy.....we were the only ones in there!)Overall when you come to Dublin you must stay at the Clarion.Food 5/5Staff 5/5Room 4/5 (a bit too warm, couldn't figure out to work the air conditioning!!!)We'll def be back and soon!!
Lovely hotel
Lovely hotel, very helpful staff, fantastic asian cuisine in the bar. Only complaint was a little far out of town for three ladies to walk at night so cabs were a must. Superb gym and swimming pool (swimming hats must be worn, can be purchased from hotel).

NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) � The Newport Restoration Foundation has bought the 18th century home of noted furniture maker Christopher Townsend.
The foundation�s executive director, Pieter Roos, told The Newport Daily News� that the home built by Townsend around 1725 on Bridge Street is a very important part of Newport�s history.
The foundation recently bought the house for an undisclosed price from owner Robert Ives Goddard III of Providence. The property had been on the market for $725,000.
The property was part of the estate of Hope Goddard, who died last year. Roos said Hope and Robert Goddard are not descendants of the Goddard family who also made renowned furniture in Newport in the 18th century.
Townsend was known for making desks, bookcases and other furniture for Newport�s leading citizens of the time.

KEYSER - The Mineral County Board of Education Tuesday unanimously approved the appointment of Karen Wegener as principal of the new Keyser Primary School and Mary Racey as principal of Keyser Middle School.
Currently under construction, Keyser Primary School is targeted to open for the 2013-2014 school year, resulting in the splitting of the student population of Keyser Primary-Middle into Keyser Primary and Keyser Middle schools.
Keyser Middle School will be located in the current KPMS.
Wegener, who has taught in Mineral County Schools including KPMS and New Creek Primary, is currently serving as assistant principal at Keyser Primary-Middle.
Racey, who has taught at Elk Garden Primary, among other schools, has been principal at KPMS for two years.
Although current plans are for the new school to open this coming fall, the board appointed both Wegener and Racey with the understanding that, should the opening be delayed due to unforeseen construction issues, the new positions would not take effect until later.
