I've found the example code to be very helpful, it's great to have a really good example like this thanks for all your efforts.
on line ~283 $example_link doesn't return the full domain unless the user is logged in. when logged out the base screen-one and screen-two example doesn't work and you end up with a recursive series of links:
$example_link = trailingslashit( bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_example_slug() );
I think perhaps it should be:

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The U.S. Attorney's Office is slamming Attorney Joe Neal Jr.
Neal's lawyer asked for a summary of why federal judges wanted to bar him from practicing in court, so they handed it down. You can read the full document here (PDF).
The documents state his actions were of a "predatory nature" and his conduct is "base, depraved, vile and contrary to the societal norms of decency and honor."
This comes a few moths after Neal pleaded guilty to a drug possession charged after rape allegations surfaced from his teenage babysitter.
Some excerpts from the document:

HAMMOND: Should The Academy Give Agents Full Voting Rights For Oscars?
You can always count on it. It seems there is always some talent agency honcho who revives the decades-old quest to gain Oscar voting rights for agents. The subject always comes up, but the answer, whatever the merits of the idea, will always be the same. It will NEVER happen. I've heard the effort is gearing up once more and agency movers and shakers in the movement for equal Academy voting rights are trying to find sympathetic ears in the media to further the cause and make some noise again. Of course, the Academy has traditionally held a different opinion. Agents are allowed in only as associate members. The number of agents with that status in the Academy is well under 100 and has included major names like Jeff Berg, Kevin Huvane, Patrick Whitesell and many others like WME's Brian Swardstrom, who actually has his own Oscar but not a vote (keep reading for more on that). Being an associate means they get invites to attend Academy events and maybe access to freebie movies at local theaters during Oscar time, but they don't have their own branch or any reps on the Board of Governors and no voting rights whatsoever, kind of like illegal aliens.
The fact is they've never even gotten close to those rights even when complaining that PR people have their own branch and get to vote. In recent years, the Academy has tightened requirements for every branch, including Public Relations, and now insist they have a rigid format for admission. In other words, no personal publicists and for the most part just those who have demonstrated a consistent leadership role at studios and distribution companies or unit publicists, who work directly on movie sets. And the Academy now only accepts new members once each year. For 2011 it recently welcomed 178 new voting members across all branches considered a part of the "arts and sciences" of motion pictures so prominently featured in the organization's name. The definition apparently doesn't apply to talent agents, whom the Acad has traditionally looked at as enablers rather an integral part of the filmmaking process. No matter which decade of the Acad's 83-year history this issue has been broached, you will always have officials particularly worried about the potential conflict of interest in upping the status of agents.
But at least one vocal agent and associate Academy member complains to Deadline that the time has come for change. "It's an anachronism. Everyone has a conflict of interest, not just agents," they claim. Certainly anyone who knows the way many voters privately cast their ballots can attest to that, but who said life is fair? Throughout history, winning voting rights for many groups has taken enormous personal toll, sweat and protests. Short of taking to the streets of Beverly Hills and demanding their "rights", it's hard to imagine what agents can do to turn this around, and not many in the industry seem to have much sympathy for their cause. According to published reports, former President of the Academy Gregory Peck once said agents would get the vote "over my dead body". I guess some would rather not be a member of the same club as the person who made the deals that helped get them there.
But hasn't the perception of what agents really do in getting films made changed like everything else in this business? Aren't the days of looking at them as just a deal maker over? With all the "packaging" and putting intricate movies together, agents — at least the best ones — really do participate more in the art and science of filmmaking, in the sense that without their dogged persistence there might be no film in the first place. Particularly in getting so many indie movies made these days, like Best Picture winners The Hurt Locker and The King's Speech. Agenting may be the misunderstood art and science of movies.
Proof of that was never made more public than when actress Tilda Swinton accepted her Best Supporting Actress award in 2007 for Michael Clayton. In her speech she thanked director Tony Gilroy, co-star George Clooney, but above all her American agent, Swardstrom, who persuaded her to come to work in the U.S. "I'm giving this to you," she said, and later told media, "I'm giving it to Brian. He deserves it. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for him. … It might (calm hiim down) when I'm on the speakerphone telling him I'm going to do another art film in Europe." And she meant it. He still has it. When I saw her in Telluride earlier this month and asked where her Oscar is now, she looked quizzically at me and said, "It's his". For an actor to give their Oscar away to their agent is the kind of testimony that could be effective in changing perceptions within the Academy hierarchy on this issue. Or not. Bottom line is most members of the Academy either have or have had an agent, and if they don't want to play in the same sandbox with them there's not much that can be done. Some in power positions still look at them as obstructionists or roadblocks in the art of making movies, and as far as full membership in the clubby Academy is concerned they are still looking in the window from the outside even as there are voting members who haven't worked actively in the business for years. In other words, it's hard to turn this train around.
It's not unprecedented, though. The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences doesn't seem to have a problem with agents and even has two spots on their Board of Governors earmarked for "Professional Representatives". But my suggestion for agents who really have their heart set on casting a ballot for the harder-to-crack Oscars and not just Emmys is to do like so many of your former colleagues have done in the past. Stop being an agent and become a producer, or better yet a studio head. Just ask Academy voting member Ron Meyer.
And the "agents are the devil" rants begin in 5…4…3…2…1
Most agents don't read, get movies made, or have creative instincts. There are some notable exceptions of course, but why should the Academy bestow a responsibility on them that they will only taint with personal/agency bias? Haven't they brought enough harm to an already fragile industry? I say this as someone who works with them.
Quite simply: NO. The most prejudiced of all Hollywood creatures. And not just TOWARDS their own agency clients but more so AGAINST others. Agents have too much power already. NO NO NO.
Good Lord, NO! then the inmates would truly be in charge of the asylum!
I say yes. Agents have proven themselves to be reliable, intelligent, and unbiased. They have suffered long enough and their time has come.
Absolutely not! The agents are biased. The Academy must preserve the integrity and the purity in its process of choosing winners for having best talents….winning based on one's true merits….the Academy cannot allow the voting process to be tainted by anything or anyone…..
The agents are best to stay where they are, which is finding real talents…represent them, guide them, and protect them….it's a marriage between the agent and client….this is where it should stay……agents will not be impartial, but anything too biased, voting for talents from their own agencies….this will turn into a nightmare! The Oscars is….may the BEST WINS. The Oscars should get voters such as older play right writers….Sam Shepard, Bernard Shaw etc to vote…..these writers will know " true talent " from Hollywood product…
It's the worst idea I've ever heard.
Of course Tilda Swinton should thank her agent for convincing her to take the part. As every award-winning actor before her has done. But it was her performance that was awarded, not the advice. That Swinton, who eschewed Hollywood for years, gave the statue to her agent as a thank-you gift says lot about Swinton but nothing about whether agents should be voting for the Oscars.
F no. No freaking way
It's like when US auto heads showed up in Washington asking for taxpayers to bail them out …and showed up in private jets. They had no idea that would seem ridiculous to the rest of us. So outta whack they couldn't even see how wrong it was.
I'd say Craft Services should also be allowed into the Academy.
But until then, NO to agents. They're a part of the industry, but not part of creatively putting the stories onto the screen.
every thought that flew thru my mind ended up either in your column or in the comments. Arts & Sciences = agent? I don't think so. "Agents have proven themselves to be reliable, intelligent, and unbiased. " — please – I have worked at agencies in the past – they weren't then and they especially aren't now. We don't need agents in the Academy so why give it another thought
You don't know what you are talking about. Agents have a lot to do with actors getting parts and films getting made.
Could it be that guy was joking?
Is there a way to type a gazillion "NO"s without actually having to do so?
Wanna kill the Oscars? Give agents a vote. Well, unless they can prove they only take their clients due to the client's talent and no other reason. ; )
Of course they shouldn't be allowed in. that would require change or thought. That the Academy dismisses this notion each year is the easy way out. I'm not saying they should be admitted, I've never thought about it. But now I will. The Academy offers a life membership. Old folks in other words. Change is tough for us, and saying NO is always easier than yes or even maybe… too bad the Academy is turning into a museum for an art form they think is stuck in time, but in fact is moving way faster than it is. Institutional thinking on the order of the Masons. That cheery group is still around, but does anybody care? The Academy is in danger of going that way sooner than it thinks. Ask a kid what the Academy is or even stands for, and you'll get a rude awakening. Admitting agents won't change that, but maybe rethinking things that are calcified and stagnant might.
I'm very sorry to see an academy member thinking this way. What it will ultimately lead to, very obviously,is more awards for money-makers and popcorn films, the first being the ONLY thing that matters to 99% of them. It's the nature of the business. They really have no choice. Whereas the Academy Awards have been the one little haven where quality counts and where trying to actually say something stands a chance of being rewarded. The industry is rife with anecdotes illustrating this. James Ivory had plenty, for one, in the book long interview Robert Emmet Long did with him. The number of actors and actresses they wanted to cast that they belatedly learned had never even been informed of it by their agents – because Merchant Ivory films didn't make enough money by their estimates. Who gives a damn about all the Oscars they had won? For only one example that springs to mind, easily verifiable. Obstructionist, for sure. Unless we're talking Batman and the like.
Agreed! but still it feels like agents voting is like letting Lobbyists vote in Congress. Integral to the process, sure. Do I want them actually voting? ehhhh. At least let me pretend it's not a dirty, scheming biz.
Hells no! Oh, and Nikki, where's my post-mortem on Abduction?
Why not let agents vote? What difference does it really make?
The Academy Awards, IMO, lost their luster and integrity a long time ago. It is currently about on par with the MTV Movie Awards. The Oscar's used to be an industry celebration of any given year's finest work, but now, over the past fifteen years or so, it strikes me as being more keen on making statements than acknowledging excellence. Again, just my opinion.
Maybe, the Academy should follow the role model of the VES. Not only can agents vote for awards, they can rise to become members of the Board of Directors and serve on the powerful Executive Committee which has tremendous influence on all society agenda.
Obviously, the VES membership sees no conflict of interest having an agent serve as an officer with full voting rights while representing many of the current members. And, of course, being an agent and being treasurer of the society pose no problems for VES and its membership either.
Why is this a problem with AMPAS….because it is a conflict of interest no matter how you choose to interpret it.
FUCK NO! Agents are becoming the analog past, they have never really done anything but stand in the way. There are many deserving people who should be in the Academy who have actually made movies, agents are timmy cogs in the wheel.
I was invited by the Academy to join after the Academy Agent Committee that was headed by one of my competitors approved my membership. There is a fraternity among some agents, and they know which agents are best qualified to become a member. Agents are no more biased than PR people, so the disstinction is old fashioned and biased. Ironically, I also was invited to become a member of BAFTA, and interestingly enough, I am able to vote in that organization which, in many ways, is more significant in that the BAFTA nominations precede the Academy nominations, and thereby become an early influential indicator of likely Academy nominees.
michael peretzian is true gentleman with impeccable taste who agented in a style that is denigrated by the philistines and barbarians that make up the agenting community today. he was as loyal to his clients as they were to him. he was slow to anger and quick to forgive. He was a dramatic interpretive artist as well as an agent who could walk in his clients shoes, and did. If there was even one other agent like him working today I would say throw everybody out of the academy and only take agents. I know he will be embarrassed by this post because he is a truly modest man, but it needs to be said.
I'm old. I was a long time agent and am a long time academy member. Many writers, directors, actors and producers who have been vastly successful financially have been denied invitations to join the academy because their body of work, albeit commercial, has not been judged to be up to academy standards. How could any agent possibly pass that test? The sell'em don't smell'em ethos of agenting is correct for that endeavor, but antithetical to everything the academy has always tried to stand for. Does anybody out there really think the brilliant agent, and I am not being facetious, that packaged The Jackass series, or had the brilliance to team Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in the Rush Hour trilogy should be voted into the academy?
Academy Awards are for those who make motion pictures, not for those who siphon 10% off the top.
I'd quit if they let them. As it is, the PR and Executive branches don't belong. They all want the power AND the glory, but as Billy Wilder said, the latter belongs to those who MAKE films, not those who PACKAGE films.
If agents are doing anything worth while in regards to packaging , then why is FOOTLOOSE and THE THING in theaters now. Not to mention ABDUCTION. With all of those resources , at the disposal of CAA , ICM , UTA , and WME one would think we would have more than ten to fifteen watchable films per year. But we do not. I mean , how many films a year does anyone reading Nicky Fink pay to see in a year ?

Honors & openings
TOPSHAM — Wright-Pierce, a New England- based water, wastewater and infrastructure engineering firm, recently earned the Grand Conceptor Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of Maine for the innovative upgrade design of the Nokomis Pond water treatment facility in Newport.
According to a news release, the Grand Conceptor is the top award given in the annual Engineering Excellence Awards program that recognizes engineering projects which "epitomize quality, innovation, value and client satisfaction."
Thomas Todd, superintendent of the Newport Water District, cited the project as the first in New England to use the innovative MIEX process, and a "good example of engineers tailoring the best, most cost-effective solution to our district's specific needs. The Wright-Pierce design provides quality water to our customers and helps insure compliance with state and federal mandates for many years to come."
The Nokomis Pond treatment facility is a small treatment system by regulatory standards, which utilizes slow sand filtration as the core treatment process. EPA rules (Safe Drinking
Water Act) required an upgrade to the facility to reduce the disinfection byproducts that were compromising water quality.
Wright-Pierce worked closely with the district, pilot testing several treatment alternatives before selecting the MIEX process ( magnetic ion exchange). The process is a pretreatment system that acts as a supplemental process prior to slow sand filtration to minimize the formation of disinfection byproducts and maximize natural color removal by utilizing a continuous ion exchange process.

Dodger Miscues Just Keep On Giving
Xavier Batista rapped out three singles and an RBI double and scored four runs, and his teammates took advantage of six errors, as the AZL Cubs defeated the AZL Dodgers 11-5 in Arizona League action at HoHoKam Park in Mesa tonight.
RHP Hector Mayora got the start for the Cubs and had a strong outing, allowing just one unearned run on two hits and two walks over the course of four innings (63 pitches - 40 strikes) while striking out five. Mayora struggled during Extended Spring Training, but he has pitched very well so far in four AZL appearances (13.1 IP), racking up a 1.35 ERA and 0.71 WHIP.
18-year old RHP Austin Reed (2010 12th round pick out of Rancho Cucamonga HS - Rancho Cucamonga, CA) followed Mayora to the mound, and had major control problems in his two innings of work (38 pitches - 19 strikes), walking four. He was the beneficary of two line drive DPs that got him out of jams in both innings, the latter a spectacular diving catch & throw by CF Anthony Giansanti (2010 NDFA - Siena U.) that doubled a brain-dead Dodger runner off 2nd base. Reed is a big, strong kid with electric stuff, but he was behind on every hitter and at one point threw 12 consecutive balls. He reportedly had issues with his mechanics in HS, and you can see why. Once he gets out of whack it's hard for him to recover.
The Cubs offense scored in five of their eight ABs.
With the Cubs trailing 1-0, Giansanti laid down a beautiful bunt single up the 3rd base line to open the 2nd inning, stole 2nd base, and scored on a one-out RBI double to right by Xavier Batista. Then with two outs, Dustin Harrington split the gap in right-center with an RBI triple, scoring Batista. Harrington has been playing mostly SS (the position he played in college at East Carolina) so far, but (like Brandon May) he has the thick lower-body of a 3B or catcher, and I would think he will be moved to the hot corner once a true SS arrives (assuming one does actually arrive before the end of the AZL season).
Albert Hernandez and X. Batista opened the bottom of the 4th with line drive singles and advanced a base a piece on a WP, before both runners scored on a Vismeldy Bieneme two out RBI single plus an E-9 errant throw to the plate, giving the Cubs a 4-1 lead.
Up 4-2, the Cubs scored five more runs in the bottom of the 6th, as X. Batista rapped out a lead-off single, and advanced to 2nd on an infield hit by Dustin Geiger (2010 24th round pick out of Merritt Island HS - Brevard County, FL). Geiger just reported to Mesa last week, and while the Cubs drafted him as a RF, he has been playing only 3rd base so far (3B being the position he played in HS, and where he feels most-comfortable right now). Harrington then laid-down a sac bunt that the Dodger pitcher proceeded to throw into right field, scoring Batista, with the other runners advancing to 2nd & 3rd on the overthrow. Bieneme then looped an RBI single to CF to score Geiger, and Harrington came around to score when the CF over-ran the ball, which also allowed Bieneme to move up to 2nd base. Pin-Chieh Chen walked, and after Bieneme advanced to third on a fly out, Chen stole 2nd and advanced to 3rd on the catcher's E-2 overthrow that also allowed Bieneme to score, and then Chen scored the fifth and final run of the inning on a Chad Noble one-out F-8 SF.
The Cubs scored their 10th run in the 7th when X. Batista ripped his third single (and fourth hit) of the night, advanced to 3rd base on an errant pick-off throw, and scored on a WP.
2010 20th round draft pick Ryan Cuneo (U.of Delaware) hit a solo HR over the RF fence (his 2nd AZL HR) with two outs in the bottom of the 8th to complete the Cubs scoring. Cuneo is now hitting 348/400/580 in 17 AZL games (he's 6th in the AZL in SLG, and 10th in BA).
Besides Anthony Giansanti's outstanding diving catch in CF that helped save Austin Reed's night, Dustin Geiger made a fine stop & throw at 3rd base, throwing out the Dodger lead-off hitter in the top of the 3rd.
In AZL Cubs roster news, 22-year old LHP (and ex-OF) Drew Rundle has been released. Rundle was the Cubs 14th round pick in 2006 out of Bend HS - Bend, OR, but received "over-slot" 3rd round money to give up his baseball scholarship to the University of Arizona. He was converted to a LHP at the AZ Instructional League last October after failing as a hitter (227/338/380 in 941 minor league PA 2006-09), but he just did not develop on the mound as was hoped. (Prior to October 2009, he had last pitched when he was a junior in HS).
Rumor has it that the Cubs are looking to move their Hi-A affiliate from the Florida State League to the more hitter-friendly California League. The weather in Florida is very erratic, especially once hurricane season starts in August (at one point last season the Daytona Cubs had about a week's worth of games rained out). And playing in more of a hitter's league might help the Cubs young sluggers develop more of a HR stroke than is the case for those toiling in the cavernous parks of the FSL (where long fly balls go to die).
At present there are ten teams in the California League, 12 teams in the Florida State League, and eight tems in the Carolina League (the third Hi-A league), so the Cubs moving their Hi-A affiliate from the FSL to the Califiornia League would require either expanding the California League to 12 teams (with the FSL losing two teams), or else the Cubs could replace another MLB club with an affiliate presently in the California League (perhaps the Astros in Lancaster?), with that club then transferring it's Hi-A affiliate to the Florida State League.
FWIW, the Cubs are one of only two MLB clubs with a Hi-A affiliate in the Florida State League where the MLB club does not have its Spring Training base and Minor League HQ in Florida (the Milwaukee Brewers are the only other one), and the Houston Astros are the only MLB club with a Hi-A affiliate in the California League that does not have its Spring Training base and Minor League HQ in Arizona.
Re: replace the Astros in Lancaster
Well, as something of a JetHawks fan I can vouch for Lancaster being a place where you can develop a HR stroke as anyone who has been at their ballpark when the wind is blowing out (basically all season long but some nights it absolutely howls) will attest.
Meanwhile, up north the Boise Hawks managed to walk 11 batters and wipe themselves and their lead out in the process.
Re: Dodger Miscues Just Keep On Giving
FWIW, the Cubs are one of only two MLB clubs with a Hi-A affiliate in the Florida State League where the MLB club does not have its Spring Training base and Minor League HQ in Florida (the Milwaukee Brewers are the only other one), and the Houston Astros are the only MLB club with a Hi-A affiliate in the California League that does not have its Spring Training base and Minor League HQ in Arizona.
Of course, that may be changing soon. Now that the deadline has come and gone without Mesa/Arizona finding a funding option for the Cubs new spring training facility, the Cubs may be moving their spring training home as well as their Hi-A team to Naples.
Any news coming out of Arizona?
Re: without Mesa/Arizona finding a funding option
That's not right. Mesa found financing for the new stadium on their own after the State passed on it.
Re: Dodger Miscues Just Keep On Giving
Phil -- Maybe you can shed some more light on this. My understanding is that Mesa's plan involves selling some land they bought several years ago for the water rights. Since they have found an alternative source for water, they no longer need the land they purchased.
However, as I understand it, the voters in Mesa are not likely to approve the funding plan whether Mesa needs the land or not. Is that true?
Re: Dodger Miscues Just Keep On Giving
I propose the Cubs just skip spring training altogether. It certainly hasn't helped prepare our team to win in recent years. Just have the 30 or so guys fighting for the final cut show up in whatever city the day before opening day and have a dart game or throw the midget or what have you to choose the final 25.

video of Maddon.
always nice that he actually tries to honestly answer questions. Does mention that he wanted to give Zastr? a chance in a meaningful spot rather than a mop-up role.
from Muskat:
#Cubs Maddon: "I'm not going to make up an excuse for why I did what I did. It has nothing to do with lack of confidence" ... "It was the right thing to do today based on what I saw, what their lineup looked like and Rob Z.'s availability." #Cubs
Hammel not particularly understanding of getting pulled out...as he should. Be curious what Maddon had to say. All I can think of is is keeping arms fresh and maybe wanting to see if Zastr? is worth considering for the playoffs and how he'd do against the Dodgers.
great defense
Heyward, Russell, Baez, Bryant, Ross in particular...although Bryant's a bit hard to judge with all the positions.
Fowler and Rizzo in the top half of the NL for their positions as well (per fangraphs)...Zobrist right at the halfway cutoff for 2b in the NL.
I'm sure some luck is involved too, but the Cubs and Maddon knew what they were doing.
If all the starters have FIP > ERA, is that luck or good defense?
#Cubs plummet to 19-5 in August.
Fun with FIP
- J. Hammel 3.07 ERA/4.27 FIP (3.68 FIP last year)
- J. Arrieta 2.62 ERA/3.05 FIP (2.35 FIP last year)
- J. Lester 2.81 ERA/3.67 FIP (2.92 FIP last year)
- K. Hendricks 2.19 ERA/3.37 FIP (3.36 FIP last year)
- J. Lackey 3.41 ERA/3.72 FIP (3.57 FIP last year with Cards)
zastyryzryzryzny put in 3.2ip 1h 0bb 3k
he's great when his control is "on"...problem is it's rarely "on" consistently. he could vault up the cubs prospect list if he ever gets better with that aspect of his game.
JD's take was just trying to get in a lefty to better deal with mostly lefty Dodgers lineup.
My second thought was what you came up with. My first thought was he was trying to light a fire under Hammel.
Maybe he was trying to spare him another brutal road start? NY, Colorado...
joe got a pitcher up for hammel at nearly the 1st sign of trouble in the 3rd...pulled after 2.1
not injured and though it wasn't his day so far he wasn't looking like a pure disaster.
really short leash on him. zastryznzryzryny in.
Russell and Soler can attest that Urias has a pretty good curve/slider - two big strikeouts looking to get out of that jam in the first.
Classic Scully - great stuff.
Thank God we'll still have Hawk next season. (cricket cricket cricket)
Here's Scully's call on Bryant's 10th-inning homer:
"And it's a long fly ball, a mean fly ball, and a gone fly ball."
When the Cubs were the old, hundred-year Cubs, one bad hop did not undo their opponents.
If only he was clutcher. More clutcher.
cubs win...bryant with 7HR in his last 8 games.

I called on 12/24 when I saw the initial withdrawal and received a call back advising me that my husband needed to cancel and only when he received the policy in the mail. This is absurd. They can debit our account based on a verbal "yes" from my husband but I cannot cancel verbally? Who are they kidding?
They prey upon the elderly it appears and make it as difficult as possible to cancel this so-called "verbal agreement." My name is on this account and I want it cancelled and I want the $195 back. I am prepared to take this as far as necessary to make that happen. In addition, the number that was called is on the "Do Not Call National Registry" so I have also filed a complaint with the FTC.

The England fly-half was imperious with the boot in the face a partisan French crowd, with a perfect 11 kicks from as many attempts in a staggering 32-point haul.
Chris Wyles scored Saracens' only try of a tense clash, though the Aviva Premiership side had to cope with two yellow cards and a worrying injury to David Strettle to pull off a vital victory.
The result leaves Saracens one win away from reaching the quarter-finals for the second year in succession.
Luc Ducalcon and Juan Imhoff (two) were the try-scorers for Metro, with Sebastien Descons kicking the rest of their points.

National City Bank in Goodyear Heights, corner of Goodyear Boulevard and Newton Street is where my elderly father does the bulk of his banking. He has over $800,000.00 in various accounts there. During a recent investigation we have discovered two checks written for $50,000.00, one check for 30,000.00, and some sort of a debit for 45,000.00 all occuring from march 2005 to november 2005.....That is $175,000.00 missing in a nine month period that my father does not remember writing. We have a sister who we believe knows what has happened to this money. At one time she had a valid power of attorney for my father, but all powers of attornney were supposed to be closed at the order of the court. When Dave Robinson, branch manager was asked about the validity of the "supposed power of attorney"....he stated he did not know if it was valid since (he says) it was opened elsewhere. Seems to me that if $175.000.00 is unaccounted for and there is $800,00.00 more waiting to disappear that the manager would make it his business to find out what is happening. This same manager, Dave Robinson, told us that when he keyed my father's social security number in, that it showed as a valid number for my sister as well as my dad. We believe that something illegal is definitely going on and are getting nothing but the run around from these people.
We asked for and receivced copies of "account statements" that give you check numbers, amounts on the checks, and the dates the checks cleared but not to whom the checks were written to. We need to know who those checks were written to (seeing both sides) and who endorsed those checks. There are many many unanswered questions. They say the copies are in the mail, then what shows up is copie of the same "account statement" that we had before.

RIR, Foodbank, Toys for Tots partner on food, toy drive
For the eighth consecutive year, Richmond International Raceway is partnering with the Central Virginia Foodbank and the Marine Toys for Tots program to collect food and toys through Dec. 14.
Donations can be made to both organizations at the Richmond International Raceway ticket office, located at the corner of Laburnum Avenue and Richmond-Henrico Turnpike (Meadowbridge Road). The ticket office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Food items most needed are canned meats and fish, canned and dried beans, canned vegetables and fruits, hot and cold cereals and pasta and rice.
"The Central Virginia Foodbank and Marine Toys for Tots are two very special programs for us here at Richmond International Raceway," said track president Dennis Bickmeier. "We recognize the need for our community throughout the year, but especially during the holiday season. I encourage everyone to make a difference this holiday season and donate to these worthwhile programs. Additionally, I pledge that Richmond International Raceway will match can-for-can and toy-for-toy the donations we receive here at the track."

Our robust, fully customizable SMS/MMS platform delivers a wide range of solutions to your toughest business challenges. Don't see yours below? Contact us today and we'll get started on a custom solution that's a perfect fit.
Cart Abandonment
Retargeting helps you entice customers to come back to their carts and complete their purchase. Using a cart cookie, IRIO can custom tailor APIs to send messages to customers who have abandoned their online carts, pushing incentives to bring them back to the site and ultimately convert.
Low Survey Engagement
If your questions are falling on deaf ears, try reaching consumers on the device they use most—their phone. Paper forms end up in the trash and are abandoned once consumers realize they have to mail, fax or scan their form in. Conducting surveys solely through a mobile device has a much higher adoption and completion rate.
Low Customer Engagement
IRIO helps make your business more attractive to consumers with SMS/MMS promotions. Engagement is achieved in many ways—push information regarding a product, service, survey, or even use a custom API to target consumers who haven't made a purchase in an allotted duration.
Sales Lag
Get your numbers up on slow nights with well placed mobile promotions. IRIO will deliver them to the right people in the right areas at the right time. Push a mobile coupon. Adopt a loyalty program. Target consumers based on the last time they purchased or engaged with your brand.
Lack of Marketing Automation
IRIO's custom API solutions can tie multiple systems together and eliminate needless man-hours. Once an action is completed in the client's database (such as uploading a lead or new prospect), the IRIO system can recognize the new lead and immediately send a welcome message or incentivized message.
Lack of Lead Generation Automation
Generating and qualifying leads can be a full-time job. Unless you have IRIO automate it for you with a mobile information solution. A keyword texted to a short code is applicable 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and logs all consumer information. Plus, it vets those consumers based on the response mechanisms set up with the campaign.
Call Center Bandwidth Issues
An SMS/MMS customer service solution from IRIO can help automate part of your customer service process, alleviating some of the strain on your call center. Customers can use IRIO's platform to implement call-back systems or simply direct consumers to the appropriate channel online for help resolving their issues.
Call Center Hold Times
Another way SMS/MMS customer service can alleviate call center strains is by automating part of the troubleshooting process, which shortens call times with operators. For example, consumers can text a keyword to a short code for help clarifying in what area their issue resides and be set up for a call-back at a particular time, ensuring the call center employees are only speaking to consumers who have pre-vetted their issues.
Security Protocols
If multiple forms of identity verification are needed, whether it be for an email password, banking login or human resources platform, IRIO can develop custom APIs to send customers their verification codes based on their login attempts. This increases security and speeds up the time in which they are verified and logged into their respective platform or service.
Crisis/Emergency Notifications
Ensure that your audience reads alerts quickly with an SMS/MMS community solution from IRIO. 90% of texts are read within three minutes of receipt, making them faster and more reliable than email or voice. This notification system is critically important for schools, churches, governmental agencies and corporate entities.
Generating Qualified Leads
All of our SMS/MMS solutions can be customized to gather the customer information you're looking for, helping you not only get more leads, you get the right ones. Deploy a mobile sweepstakes, then target and vet consumers based on email address inclusion, date of birth, zip code, political party or any other piece of information you choose.
Boost your fundraising efforts by offering donors a fast and convenient way to give. SMS donations are a simple and secure addition to any non-profit fundraising strategy. And through IRIO, a higher percentage of the donation goes to your cause compared to other mobile donation services.
Anything Else You Can Throw at Us
Our team of strategists and developers can create a fully customized solution for whatever marketing or operations you need to optimize. Contact us today and we'll get started.

Comments about Expedition Hanging Kit Bag:
I'm really happy with the hanging kit bag. You can open it up and just sit it on a flat surface and it works well.
Comments about Expedition Hanging Kit Bag:
When using this item as we have been in the kayak it is a bit awkward as you need two hands to pull the zippers back up once they've been opened. I also bought one to use in when travelling and again the zippers are an issue. Once it's open it's harder to get closed unless it's laying down on something flat. Bought them on sale, not sure if I would have bought them at full price. Like the colors and the quality seems fine, although we have not used them everyday.

Aliy Zirkle left the village of Shaktoolik early this morning at 3:51 am, putting an hour between herself and Jeff King, with his 12 dog team.
Martin Buser was overtaken by King late last night, whose run out of Unalakleet allowed him to put almost an hour between them.
Seven mushers in total were out of Shaktoolik and headed on toward Koyuk, the next checkpoint 50 miles away.
Sonny Lindner followed closely behind Buser this morning as they hit the trail. Aaron Burmeister and Dallas Seavey were only a minute apart when departing, followed by Seavey's father, Mitch Seavey, just before 11 am.
As of 12:05 pm, Robert Sorlie and Joar Ulsom were listed in Shaktoolik, both having come in closely around 10:30 am.

A: One, From Romania
Q: How Many Women Have Won the Top Math Contest?
By KAREN W. ARENSON
Published: May 1, 1997
Every year on college campuses across the United States and Canada, the most brilliant math students face the ultimate challenge. For six hours, they struggle with problems from the merely intractable to the seemingly impossible.
Every spring, five are chosen winners of the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition, the Olympics of college mathematics. Every year for 56 years, all have been men.
Until this year.
This spring, Ioana Dumitriu (pronounced yo-AHN-na doo-mee-TREE-oo), 20, a New York University sophomore from Romania, became the first woman to win the award.
Ms. Dumitriu, the daughter of two electrical engineering professors in Romania, who as a young girl solved math puzzles for fun, was identified as a math talent early in her schooling in Bucharest, part of the same Romanian system that sent Nadia Comaneci to the balance beam. At 11, Ms. Dumitriu was steered into years of intensive math training camps as preparation for the Romanian entry in the International Mathematics Olympiad.
It was this training, and a handsome young coach, that led her to New York City. He was several years older. They fell in love. He chose N.Y.U. for its graduate school in mathematics, and at 19 she joined him in New York.
The test Ms. Dumitriu won is dauntingly difficult, even for math majors. About half of the 2,407 test-takers scored 2 or less of a possible 120, and a third scored 0. Some students simply walk out after staring at the questions for a while.
Ms. Dumitriu said that in the six hours allotted, she had time to do 8 of the 12 problems, each worth a maximum of 10 points. The last one she did in 10 minutes. This year, Ms. Dumitriu and her five co-winners (there was a tie for fifth place) scored between 76 and 98. She does not know her exact score or rank because the organizers do not announce them.
''I didn't ever tell myself that I was unlikely to win, that no woman before had ever won and therefore I couldn't,'' she said. ''It is not that I forget that I'm a woman. It's just that I don't see it as an obstacle or a ----.''
Her English is near-perfect, but she paused because she could not find the right word. ''The mathematics community is made up of persons, and that is what I am primarily.''
Prof. Joel Spencer, who was a Putnam winner himself, said her work for his class in problem solving last year was remarkable. ''What really got me was her fearlessness,'' he said. ''To be good at math, you have to go right at it and start playing around with it, and she had that from the start.''
In the graduate student lounge in the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at N.Y.U., Ms. Dimitriu, a tall, striking redhead, stands out. Instead of jeans and T-shirts, she wears gray pin-striped slacks and a rust-colored turtleneck and vest.
''There is a social perception of women and math, a sterotype,'' Ms. Dumitriu said during an interview. ''What's happening right now is that that the sterotype is defied. It starts breaking.''
Still, even as women began to flock to the sciences, math has remained largely a male bastion, a situation that has been changing slowly.
''Math remains the bottom line of sex differences for many,'' said Sheila Tobias, author of ''Overcoming Math Anxiety'' (W. W. Norton & Company, 1994). ''It's one thing for women to write books, negotiate bills through Congress, litigate, fire missiles; quite another for them to do math.''
This year there is a sprinkling of women among the top 55 finishers in the Putnam contest. Many, men and women, are from foreign countries, like Ms. Dumitriu.
Even though she had done well a year ago, and even though she and her fiance, Dan Stefanica, had fantasized about her winning, she said, ''We didn't dare to hope.''
''Winning the award,'' she said, ''completes the circle. I never won first prize before, and I needed that psychologically. And it certainly makes a difference professionally. People hear about you. Possibilities open up.''
Besides collecting the $1,000 awarded to each Putnam fellow, Ms. Dumitriu also won the $500 Elizabeth Lowell Putnam prize for the top woman finisher for the second year in a row, a prize created five years ago to encourage more women to take the test. This year 414 did.
For Ms. Dumitriu, math has long been a way of life.
She entered the mathematics track at 11, after she won Romania's sixth grade math contest, aimed at finding students with potential.
''It took on a whole new meaning,'' she said. ''Ever since then I thought about doing math.''
She had always liked the subject. Her father played math games from a Russian puzzle book with her as a child. Her grandfather was an electrician, but math was his hobby, and he encouraged her, too.
After the sixth grade test, she began to attend math training camps aimed at training the best national team for the International Mathematical Olympiad, which was founded by Romania in 1959 and now includes 75 countries. The Romanian team has finished among the top three for five of the last seven years. By the end of high school, she was usually the only girl who made it to the semifinals for the six-member Romanian team, though she never made the team itself.
Her parents tried to interest her in other things.
