The Cacao Haciendas have been an important element of the Venezuelan cultural heritage since the seventeenth century, especially the haciendas in Choroni. These historic agricultural landscapes have been threatened since the decline of agriculture and the rise of the oil economy in the country, beginning in the 1930s. In Choroni, agriculture was replaced by tourism and fishing, creating a need for housing and hotels in the area that were constructed in the agricultural spaces and destroyed the landscape heritage that has lasted almost 400 years. To understand and analyze these sites, I studied three haciendas of the six remaining in Choroni, identifying the character-defining features that shaped these historic cultural landscapes and proposing a conservation plan for the remaining haciendas. The cultural landscape analysis and conservation plan are designed within the Venezuelan conservation heritage laws and the needs of the local society and culture in Choroni, building on parallel practices in the United States.

Ryan, C. P.; Berg, R. D.; Brown, G. Z. (Center for Housing Innovation, University of Oregon, December , 1990)[more][less]Ryan, C. P. Berg, R. D. Brown, G.

Department of Energy has sponsored a research program organized to improve energy efficiency in industrialized housing. Two research centers share responsibility for the Energy Efficient Industrialized Housing (BEIH) program: the Center for Housing Innovation at the University of Oregon and the Florida Solar Energy Center, a research institute of the University of Central Florida. Additional funding for the program is provided by non-DOE participants from private industry, state governments and utilities. The program is guided by a steering committee composed of industry and government representatives. Industrialization of U.S. housing production varies from mobile home builders who ship furnished houses to the site, to production builders who assemble factory produced components on the site. Such housing can be divided into four major categories: HUD code (mobile) homes, modular houses, panelized houses, and production built houses. There are many hybrids of these categories. The goal of the Energy Efficient Industrialized Housing research project is to develop techniques to produce marketable industrialized housing that is 25% more energy efficient than required by today's most stringent U.S. residential codes, yet less costly than present homes. One aspect of the EEIH project is testing the energy performance of houses at several stages from design through occupancy. The activity described here comprises part of Task 2.6, "Tests of Construction Methods, Products, and Materials," a process which involves both field and laboratory studies. Toward this end the project will use the low speed boundary layer wind tunnel to study building ventilation and microclimates. This report describes progress toward the calibration of this instrument. First is a description of the tunnel itself -- a duct roughly 60 feet long, coupled to a variable speed fan, and shaped to provide a smooth air flow with minimum background turbulence. During calibration this level of turbulence was examined using the tunnel's three-part set of instruments: anemometry sensors (TSI Model 1066) and electronics, data acquisition system (IDAC-1000 plus custom communication program), and controlling Macintosh computer.

Paper presented for a class in Latin American history at Grinnell College, Iowa, in April 1975. In February of 1966, Camilo Torres-Restrepo, the priest-turned guerilla, was killed during a clash with government troops in Santander Province in Colombia. The government secretly buried his body in an unmarked grave in an effort to prevent his elevation to the state of a martyr. In the face of riots, rallies, and promises of vengeance, coming primarily from students, the oligarchy outwardly lamented the loss of the sheep gone astray. "El Tiempo", one of the primary organs of the oligarchy, wrote, "Unfortunately his very vocation of service, which was generous and unselfish in him, carried him to extremes and led him first to separate from the priesthood and then to change his cassock for the clothes of a guerilla, in a country where today such activity lacks all justification and even all revolutionary significance." In that same year, in Colombia's mammoth neighbor to the east, Brazil, students were protesting the abolition of the direct vote for the upcoming presidential elections. Alarmed at the virulent manner in which the "revolutionary " government was repressing the protests, the Archbishop of Olinda and Recife, Dom Helder Camara, began establishing for himself the reputation of being the Red Archbishop by supporting the students and by expressing concern over "the violations against the living temple" (physical violence) perpetrated by the government. This paper examines the stories of these two priests-turned-revolutionaries. 13342961 bytes application/pdf en_US Carol Hixson Camilo Torres - Helder Camara Article

A thesis presented to the Department of Computer and Information Science, and the Clark Honors College of the University of Oregon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for degree of Bachelor of Science, Spring 2015. This paper reflects research with the goal of building source analysis of security vulnerabilities for poorly written or faulty code intended to connect two parties via online interaction. Today's world is becoming more inundated with technology and increased digital functionality through the use of the Internet, and as a result code libraries have been built to support these data transfers. However, these libraries still contain unsafe code and often lack the ability to inform developers of improper usages of the libraries' tools. In this proof of concept project, the research uses the C programming language and the ROSE compiler to search through the libcurl SSL source code library in an effort to locate such problems and warn the developer of them. The libcurl variable insecure_ok was found to be uninitialized, and so code was built in order to find it and other such variables, as well as warn programmers of its potential dangers. These represent the first steps for further research into other problems within SSL libraries and improvement of checks within the SSLChecker suite. en_US University of Oregon Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-US Code Security Security ROSE SSL Source Code Analysis Vulnerabilities Can I See Some Identification?: Detecting and Patching Source Code Vulnerabilities Thesis / Dissertation

June 30, 2006. Revised August 28, 2006. Under rational expectations and risk neutrality the linear projection of exchange rate change on the forward premium has a unit coefficient. However, empirical estimates of this coefficient are significantly less than one and often negative. We investigate whether replacing rational expectations by discounted least squares (or "perpetual") learning can explain the result. We calculate the asymptotic bias under perpetual learning and show that there is a negative bias that becomes strongest when the fundamentals are strongly persistent, i.e. close to a random walk. Simulations confirm that perpetual learning is potentially able to explain the forward premium puzzle. 767489 bytes application/pdf en_US University of Oregon, Dept of Economics University of Oregon Economics Department Working Papers ; 2006-8 Can Perpetual Learning Explain the Forward Premium Puzzle?

It explores the significance of Can Xue's employment of buildings in her works from three aspects. The first aspect regards buildings as the reflection of the structure of the soul. The second aspect situates buildings in their relationship with residents and explores the connection between the buildings/residents relationship and that of body and soul. The last aspect sees buildings as the microcosmic projection of Can Xue's fictional space. This study places textual constitution at the center of investigation through the approach of close textual analysis. It marks an attempt to reconsider the method of literary investigation in the field of modern Chinese literature which has been dominated by cultural and historical approaches. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

Can't We Just Be Who We Are? The Experiences, Identity, and Beliefs of Adolescents with Disabilities Who Identify as a Sexual or Gender MinorityKahn, Lauren (University of Oregon, September 29, 2014)[more][less]Lindstrom, Lauren Kahn, Lauren 2014-09-29T17:48:02Z 2014-09-29T17:48:02Z 2014-09-29 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/18382 The purpose of this study was to gain an in-depth understanding of the lived experiences of adolescents with disabilities who identify as a sexual or gender minority within four ecological domains of self, school, family, and community and of how those experiences shape identity, sense of self, and beliefs about the future. Using in-depth semi-structured interviews, this research was conducted with an intersectionality framework that examined how the intersection of markers of difference inform individual reality and lived experiences for young adults with disabilities who identify as a sexual or gender minority. The sample included eight adolescents in high school across the state of Oregon who had a 504 plan or an Individualized Education Program and identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, or queer. A multiple-phase data analysis led to in-depth descriptions of each individual's experiences as well as consistent cross-case themes. Key themes in the individual context included: identity development, positive beliefs about identity, navigation of identity labels, strategies for facing discrimination, and relationships. Experiences in the home context that shaped identity focused on the key areas of support, rejection, and religion. Concerning the school social context, the themes that emerged were the overlap of queerness and disability in the schools, Gay Straight Alliances and extracurricular clubs, and desired staff characteristics for an adult ally in school. No consistent themes were identified in the community domain. These findings contributed to the participants' descriptions of their beliefs about the future, focusing on independent living, postsecondary education, and employment. Analysis extends the limited research available for this subgroup, shedding a light on the importance of inclusive research. In addition, findings support implications for changes in how we work with students with disabilities who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, questioning, queer, transgender, or intersex as well as how we train and support our teachers to work with all students and engage in anti-discriminatory practices. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

Canby has invested considerable effort in working to best meet the parks and recreational needs of the Canby community. This is reflected in a range of planning efforts—including the Canby Parks Master Plan—which articulates a vision for parks and recreation in the community. There is growing public interest in having a community center and sports field complex. Several groups have an interest in the delivery of these services in the community including: the City of Canby, the Canby School District, the YMCA, the Canby Area Park and Recreation District (CAPRD), and Canby Kids. These organizations represent key stakeholder groups of the community center and provided consider guidance throughout this study. As proposed, the Community Center will be a 50,000 square foot multi‐purpose facility. The cost of developing the Community Center is estimated at approximately $13.8 million to $16.3 million. The Community Center would be capable of supporting a diverse range of athletic pursuits including swimming, basketball, volleyball, aerobics, weight and strength training, and many others. The facility will also have multi‐use rooms, lockers, and showers. In addition to athletics, the proposed facility will be able to support cultural events, conferences and meetings. Recognizing the need for detailed market information, the City of Canby contracted the University of Oregon's Community Planning Workshop (CPW) to conduct a market analysis and preliminary feasibility assessment for the proposed Community Center and sports fields. This report presents the results of CPW's analysis and conclusions with respect to the feasibility of the proposed community center.

East of Glasgow Cross, down Gallowgate beyond the train lines, lies the East End, the district that perhaps most closely corresponds to the old perception of Glasgow. Hemmed in by Glasgow Green to the south and the old university to the west, this densely packed industrial area essentially created the city's wealth. Today, isolated pubs, tatty shops and cafés sit amid the dereliction, in sharp contrast to the gloss of the Merchant City just a few blocks west. You're definitely off the tourist trail here, though it's not as threatening as it may feel. Between London Road and the River Clyde are the wide and tree-lined spaces of Glasgow Green. Reputedly Britain's oldest public park, the Green has been common land since at least 1178, and has been a popular spot for Sunday afternoon strolls for centuries.

The Necropolis
The Necropolis
Inspired by the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris, the atmospheric Necropolis is a grassy mound covered in a fantastic assortment of crumbling and tumbling gravestones, ornate urns, gloomy catacombs and Neoclassical temples. Paths lead through the rows of eroding, neglected graves, and from the summit, next to the column topped with an indignant John Knox, there are superb views of the city and its trademark mix of grit and grace.

• Twelve hundred years ago, Jasālīq, a Persian physician, treated a patient who was suffering from psoriasis. Although psoriasis was not clearly differentiated from leprosy in the West until the 1840s, it was clinically described and differentiated as a separate entity in Persia in the eighth century AD.
In this case history reported in one of the oldest Persian texts, Chahar Maqala, written in 1155 AD, the physician formulated a dynamic relationship between the outbreak of psoriasis in his patient and the existence of severe interpersonal conflicts. In treating his patient, he skillfully used therapeutic modalities that are now prevalent in exploratory and psychodynamic psychotherapy. The techniques of developing a therapeutic alliance, therapeutic confrontation, clarification, dynamic interpretation, and exploration of intrapsychic and interpersonal conflicts are in accord with our present concepts of exploratory and dynamic psychotherapy.

Just out of curiosity, is there any way of discovering the salt word a site uses if you know the real password and the MD5 hash of the real password and the MD5 hash of the salted one? Is there a link between the two?

Most of the sites uses 256 bit encryption engines. so i think its tough to find out.

5 Questions with Cleveland-based comedian Mark Reedy
Veteran comic Mark Reedy's nickname is Mr. Positive because his comedy aims to uplift, not denigrate. He also stays upbeat despite a medical malady. He receives his nutrition intravenously. Reedy opened for Judah Friedlander last week by going into the crowd with hand sanitizer. "It's flu season!" he explained at the start of a killer opening set. He's in his usual headliner spot this weekend.
1What's new? I've been working more on writing, trying to write my own sitcoms, come up with ideas. Writing stuff to submit to different evening shows, talk shows. A lot of times you can submit material, and sometimes you can get a break if they really like your material.
2 Any feelers yet? No, but I want to base it on my own experience. I have not seen a good sitcom with people who have physical and mental challenges. This would be something really new that a big part of the population can relate to. Even if they don't have physical or mental challenges, they know someone who does.
3 Was your condition something you were born with? No, that's something in the past. I was hanging with the wrong people who tried to hurt me. I don't go too deep into it. I let people know that I had a past of hanging out with the wrong people and made a complete turn. This was a lesson in life. My message is no matter what ails you, physically or mentally, you can start all over. You can create a new plan. ... The medical issues do not hold me back from being a comedian or performer. And I'm also a substitute teacher.
4 What's your favorite age group to teach? Definitely second- and third-graders. They have their ways, but you can mold them.
5 Bill Cosby is your hero? He's definitely a big influence. Still is. ... One of my goals is to meet him, shake his hand and let him know the impact he had on me. Growing up I listened to every Bill Cosby record. ... I have (one) in my car and I play it to get me into a good mental frame of mind. He's going to be in Akron in May. I'm going to do everything in my power to go out and see him.
Mark Reedy performs today at 6:30 and Friday and Saturday at 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. at Jr.'s Last Laugh. Tickets are $12.50. Call 461-0911.

Thursday, October 3, 2013
In 16 days, Paine College will take to the football field for the first time in 51 years.
The Lions program will feature some faces familiar to the CSRA as well. Most notable is former North Augusta star and 2009 Aiken Standard Offensive Player of the Year, Loranzo Hammonds.
Hammonds spent the last two seasons playing at Florida International before deciding to return closer to home.
"The reason I actually came back was because of my mom, who was having some health issues," Hammonds said.
The atmosphere at Paine will be much different from what Hammonds has grown used to while playing in Miami. Not only is Paine a much smaller school, but football will be a club sport this season before joining the SIAC in Division II. This will be the third time head coach Gregory Ruffin has revived a college program. He brought football back at Shaw University in 2002 and Lincoln University in Missouri in 1999. Ruffin lead Shaw University to a 7-3 record in the first year, and he is hoping for similar success with the Lions.
"We've got some athletes. If you look out there, you see size and speed, so it's going to be a pretty good first year of football here," Ruffin said. "It's really exciting for me because having done this before I know what it's going to be like when the kids start to see some success."
One of those athletic players is Hammonds. Ruffin said his quarterback has shown some good leadership and the ability to make plays.
"He's not a talkative kid, but he's going to be a guy who leads by example," Ruffin said. "That's the most important position to have settled when you're starting out a program. It was big that we landed him."
Hammonds spent the last two seasons at the Division-I level. He redshirted in 2011 and saw action in six games last season for the Panthers. He was mostly used as a running threat.
He attempted six passes over the course of the year. Ruffin, however, will be utilizing him in the pass game more often. The coach said that is one of the areas Hammonds has impressed him in. He also spoke highly of the 6-foot-1 quarterback's ability to improvise.
Hammonds believes his time at FIU will help him make an immediate impact for the Lions.
"I thing the time in Miami really helped me improve my reads," Hammonds said. "My ball's coming out a little bit faster. I feel like I also got faster."
One of the players Hammonds will be throwing to this season is another local product.
Ty Brooks, who was also an All-Aiken Standard selection, is on the roster at receiver, and his brother Hykeem is a defensive back for the Lions. The siblings both see the team as a fresh opportunity to play the game they love.
"It's a fresh start," Hakeem said. "It's basically another chance since I didn't do what I was supposed to as a student athlete in high school. It's good to get a chance to show off my talents."
"I'm just trying to take advantage of being at the next level," Ty added. "Its more work, big players, faster players, but I like the challenge."
The most exciting thing for Hammonds is the opportunity for his mom to see him play. She didn't get a chance to see him play in while he was at FIU, and he is looking forward to the added fan support in the stands at Lucy C. Laney Stadium, where the Lions will play their games. He even said it may help him play better. As for any added pressure from being such a high profile player at a smaller program, Hammonds said he doesn't feel it will affect him any.
"I know there hasn't been any football around here for a while, so I guess there will be a lot of attention on me and the team," Hammonds said. "I don't feel any pressure. I've been playing this game since I was 5, and it hasn't changed a bit. Football is football no matter where you play it at."

text: Tennessee Celebrates World Breastfeeding Week by Denise C. on Thursday, August 1, 2013 Governor Halsam declared August 1-7 as World Breastfeeding Week in the state of Tennessee. We applaud the Governor for his recognition of the important health benefits of breastfeeding for infants, toddlers and their mothers. We additionally thank the Governor for utilizing the Tennessee Department of Health to help educate new and expectant mothers about the importance of breastfeeding. Breastfeeding has an immediate impact upon the health of a child, as well as long-term positive effects. Some of these positive effects include stronger cardiovascular health, avoiding type 2 diabetes and a reduced risk of chronic disease. Breastfeeding is a "win-win" for mothers and children alike! In 2011, the American Heart Association and the Tennessee Obesity Taskforce successfully advocated for Senate Bill 83/House Bill 871, which authorizes mothers to publicly breastfeed a child regardless of the age of the child without being prosecuted for public indecency or indecent exposure. This legislation, as well as the recent actions by Governor Haslam, illustrate the ways in which Tennessee is moving to improve the health of mothers and children through breastfeeding. « Now share your story Share This

Not liking the neutral phase this winter so far
Today is going to be a great shorts day, and much of Dec looks to be the same. This outlook looks to be much of the same for the rest of the US as well. :mad:
Suuposed to be a high of 60º in NYC today and tomorrow. :thumbsdown:
Although, I think the temps will drop on Wednesday.
Currently 71 here in Atlanta. They raised today's high temp to 75. The engineers and I went outside and played a game of bocce ball during lunch.
Lowest temp all week will be 44. Its like early spring. This happens a fair bit down here in early winter, but not usually for a 1-2 week stretch at a time.
It's a fricken heat wave here, 41 in December is ridiculous. I'm ice fishing right now and I had to take my jacket off. Really hoping this isn't a repeat of last year.
High for wednesday is 82 and we will be lingering around that same temp all week except at night....
neutral my ass.
Sitting here in the balmy mid-Atlantic today I can't help but wonder if we are going to be fucked again as we were last year. Several weeks ago forecasters were saying to watch out for the beginning of December for cold to set in here in MD, PA, VA....and here we are, 12/3, with temps in the upper 60's and more above normal temps in the forecast for the next few days. Now I am hearing that the cold will set in after the 10th. Just seems like the same broken record from last year. Predictions, and probably a lot of wishcasting for cold spells and snowstorms that never came.
The funny thing is, i have family that lives in Glasgow, Scotland and they have been getting slammed with snow and cold temps for the past few years. This is an area that historically only receives about 3 snow days on average per year but here they are, getting dumped on while typical snowy areas in the American West and East for that matter are pretty much snow-less.
When I hear about shit like this I seriously want to find the nearest climate change denier and punch them in the fucking throat.
things are picking up over here.. good storms not hitting until the beginning of December is pretty average around the Northwest.. these days...
Last year wasn't too bad for me, living near South West MI. There's a really good local hill called Bittersweet that got dumped with lake-effect snow from Lake Michigan.
I went to CO earlier this year for spring break, rode for 4 days.
First day was dark, freezing cold and everything was frozen solid, which sucked.
Second day it was about knee-deep powder. This was the best day, and we pretty much just did tree runs
The last 2 days were warm and slushy. We went in our t-shirts and were mostly in the terrain parks, which is what slush is best for!
Weird how the weather and conditions can change so quickly. I'm hoping this year is going to be much better than the crap we had last year. It's raining and room-temperature outside.:mad:
It better snow soon...

Self-defense deserves press coverage, too
January 4, 2013
BELLEVUE, WA – Anti-gun New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was "half-right" when he told NBC's Jimmy Fallon that there is "scant coverage"
of other firearms news, because there is virtually no coverage of self-defense uses every day, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.
Bloomberg complained about the lack of attention paid by the press to "people who are killed by guns every day," according to Yahoo News.
"Press coverage of justifiable gun use in self-defense is almost invisible," said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, "yet firearms are used in successful self-defense situations hundreds, if not thousands of times every day. It is disingenuous to talk about crime without mentioning the lives saved because an intended victim was armed.
"We know that hundreds of thousands of lives are saved in this country every year because someone had a firearm," he continued. "In most cases, a shot is never fired, but the display of a gun sends criminals running."
He noted examples such as the shooting at a Florida internet café last year, and the intervention by an armed citizen at the Clackamas mall in Oregon last month that stopped a gunman.
"Most of the time," Gottlieb noted, "if they are reported at all, such stories rarely get beyond local media coverage, and quickly vanish from the headlines. It would be a refreshing change to see the press pay more attention when an armed citizen defends himself, his family, his home or total strangers by being in the right place at the right time.
"While Bloomberg would ignore these people," he observed, "they really are first responders and they sometimes perform acts of remarkable heroism in saving innocent lives. The press only pays attention to tragedies while ignoring triumphs.
via Bloomberg 'Half-Right,' says CCRKBA.

Those of you considering the band should definitely read this article from the ASMBS which essentially says the band is a very ineffective weight loss surgery!
ASMBS: Gastric Banding Gets Low Marks
LAS VEGAS — Adjustable gastric banding achieves only modest weight loss, and even that benefit deteriorates over time in most patients, a Dutch surgeon said here.
Five years after surgery, about two thirds of patients maintained 25% excess weight loss. At 10 years the success rate dropped to less than a third (31%).
Using 40% excess weight loss as the standard resulted in a five-year success rate of about 50%, which declined to 20% at 10 years, Edo Aarts, MD, reported at the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery meeting.
Control of obesity-related comorbid conditions deteriorated similarly over time.
"If you perform adjustable gastric banding, you must realize that this is not the final solution, most of the time, for your patients," said Aarts, of Rijnstate Hospital, Amhem, The Netherlands.
Reviewing the history of adjustable gastric banding, Aarts noted that initial results were encouraging when the procedure was introduced in the early 1990s. Gastric banding achieved good results with respect to excess weight loss and was associated with a low risk of morbidity and mortality.
The five-year results have been mixed, as some studies showed durable weight loss and others deterioration of initial benefits. Because of the procedure's relatively recent introduction, little information has accumulated regarding the long-term results with adjusted gastric banding, Aarts said.
Rijnstate Hospital has the most active bariatric surgery program in The Netherlands, he continued. Surgeons perform more than 800 procedures annually, and more than 3,000 patients have undergone laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding.
Aarts and colleagues evaluated results in 201 patients who had laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding procedures during 1995 to 2003. All the patients had rigorous follow-up at three-month intervals during the first year and then annually thereafter. As a result, 99% of the patients had complete follow-up data, which spanned an average of 9.6 years.
The patients had a mean baseline age of 37, and women accounted for three fourths of the cohort. Baseline body mass index averaged 46 kg/m2, and 20% of the patients met the definition of super obese. Excess body weight averaged 83 kg.
Using excess weight loss >25% to define treatment success, Aarts and colleagues found that adjustable gastric banding was successful in about 80% of patients during the first three years, followed thereafter by a steady decline to 64% at 5 years and 31% at 10 years.
When treatment success was defined as band in place and excess weight loss >40%, the success rate was 70% at one year, 64% at three years, 50% at five years, and 20% at 10 years.
A third of patients had undergone reoperation after five years, increasing to 53% at 10 years. The incidence of band removal increased from 0.5% at one year to 11% at five years and 35% at 10 years. Conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass accounted for half of all reoperations.
Control of diabetes, hypertension, and gastroesophageal reflux disease all deteriorated significantly (P<0.01) over time. In particular, the incidence of new-onset diabetes and hypertension increased during follow-up, as did the proportion of patients requiring acid-suppression therapy.
On the basis of the results, surgeons at the Dutch center have begun to re-evaluate their use of adjustable gastric banding for treatment of obesity. What role, if any, the procedure will play in the future has yet to be determined, said Aarts.

It had to happen, and apparently it has: In the year just passed, according to the new report "2015 Mobile Banking, Smartphone, and Tablet Forecast" from Javelin Strategy & Research, 30% of customers used mobile banking on a weekly basis. That's officially higher than the 24% who stop by the local branch on a weekly basis, a significant milestone. For those wondering, that represents 25 million new mobile bankers in 2015 alone.
There was a time when a statistic like this would have aroused tremendous interest throughout the industry. Today, it barely qualifies as a milestone. That may be a good thing—we understand that each successive technology trend will uproot traditional practices, forcing us to go with the flow. Acceptance is surely a wiser response than consternation.
Still, being blasé is not a great idea either. Many industry institutions and professionals alike were stunned by the speed with which mobile capabilities were adopted, the hunger among (some) customers for more mobile apps, and the ferocity between competitors to get new products out there. There was, and in many quarters continues to be, surprise at the ongoing popularity of offerings from non-banking vendors, specifically technology companies.
That's why, even before the pending onslaught of multiplying endpoints from advances such as the Internet of Things, it's worth taking a closer look at just how well the financial services industry is keeping up with the innovations driven by mobile banking. Yes, there's a lot more mobile-savvy customers out there, and they're going to the branches a lot less as a result. But what exactly are they doing with those mobile apps? What more could they—and should they—be doing?
First, let's acknowledge that most financial services institutions, including relatively small credit unions, have developed and launched branded and customizable banking apps. New research indicates that the number of financial institutions with their own apps jumped by 25% in just the past two years, and 70% of financial institutions with less than $10 to $15 billion in assets already have these tools in their arsenal. In other words, basic mobile banking functionality is essentially commoditized. It's not a differentiator, and it's not a particularly powerful draw. Customers aren't thrilled by it as much as they expect it.
A potentially scarier stat is that 15% of apps changed hands last year from one vendor to another. This is a fickle market—after decades of brand building, we find that loyalty lasts only until the next big thing comes along.
So what is the next big thing? Here's one possibility: Rather than extending the convenience of routine banking functions to devices that are always at hand, mobile platforms essentially replace all existing practices to become the only channel of transaction and communication. That might span the full spectrum from opening new accounts and managing credit card settings to accessing funds from sources far outside the traditional banking network.
In fact, while so much attention is devoted to consumer habits—which is understandable, given that mobile devices are inherently personal devices dedicated to personal tasks and preferences—the most important innovations of the future might come from the business side.
As collaboration technologies enable more enterprises to benefit from a dispersed workforce, it's entirely plausible that mobile platforms will drive all business. This means that the office as know it will be fundamentally transformed—more colleagues will be working from across town, or the suburbs, or another city, or even another country.
This evolving dynamic will need to be fueled by an entirely different breed of banking practices, and mobile capabilities will surely be at the core of that transformation. So as much as mobile banking has already changed so much—as evidenced by the rising number of consumers who engage in mobile banking—could be it that there are far greater changes to come?
Here's a thought: Since we've just learned that weekly mobile banking customers outnumber those who go to the branch—and not been particularly surprised by that—what statistic might we see this time next year that really will surprise us?

WMO Contributes to Extreme Weather Preparation in Pakistan
31 August 2011: Pakistan's Representative to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) noted that while individual events cannot be attributed to climate change, trends over the past two decades indicate a linkage.
He described the exceedingly high levels of rain over August and September and the preceding drought. These floods have allowed Pakistan to test the PMD's Integrated Flood Management Plan developed with the WMO, as well as a Flash Flood Guidance System, which emerged from a WMO Expert Mission.

World Cup 2014
The Thrill of World Cup Victory and the Agony of Defeat in Amsterdam as Argentina Beats The Netherlands
- taliaday, CNN iReport producer
Stormy weather matched the mood in Amsterdam's famous Rembrantplein on Wednesday after the The Netherlands lost against Argentina in a penalty shootout in the World Cup semi-final.
It was a very similar experience to the quarter-final match, held four days prior, when The Netherlands defeated Costa Rica in a shootout, as well. On that night the fans were filled with joy and excitement, thinking about the good times that might lay ahead against Argentina.
However, those good times did not last. After losing in the World Cup Finals four years ago, The Netherlands was hoping to defeat Argentina and return to the finals.
As you can see in the faces of the fans watching the final outcome of the match, the return to the World Cup finals will have to wait, at least, another four years.

BERKELEY, Calif. – Rule 10, section 6, article 2, subsection j of the NCAA rule book assesses a technical foul on and ejects "any bench personnel leaving the bench area when a fight may break out or has broken out."
It was invoked five times Wednesday night, but three of the ejected parties – California assistant coach Gregg Gottlieb and Stanford assistant coaches Charles Payne and Mark Madsen – kept a scrum over a loose ball from devolving into something much, much worse, exposing the inherent disconnect between the letter and spirit of the law.
It all started with Allen Crabbe's attempt to force a held ball with 5:04 left to play in the second half. A referee awarded Aaron Bright the timeout he had called to give Stanford possession instead, followed by Dwight Powell ushering Crabbe back with a left elbow that put the junior guard on his backside.
A furious Crabbe went after Powell in retaliation, shoving him with an open right hand. Players on both teams then erupted in a frenzy of bodies sprinting towards the scene, some trying to get into the fray.
The assistant coaches were peacemakers, helping create space when head coaches Johnny Dawkins and Mike Montgomery and the officials, the authority figures tasked by the NCAA with restoring order, looked like they might be out-manned.
"I was glad that Mark came out because the seas kind of parted with his size," said Dawkins of the former Stanford and NBA player's role.
After a 10-minute review of the video to make sure no punches were thrown, the penalties were handed down, sending Gottlieb, Payne, Madsen, Stanford guard Gabriel Harris and Cal forward Richard Solomon to the locker room.
The sellout crowd of 11,877 at Haas Pavilion wasn't pleased with the delay, but they had been in a foul mood for most of the game, offering plenty of R-rated chants. But that was the extent of their involvement.
If something had been thrown onto the court or the players' fracas spilled out into the stands, a full-blown melee could have erupted. That the worst-case scenario did not play out can be credited in part to the assistants for their quick response.
Their reaction is the very reason why the rule should at least be reviewed, if not rescinded, in the offseason.
"I think it is something to look at when you had the situation we just had," Dawkins said. "They are not out there to escalate anything. When you saw that kind of a scrum, that many people in that kind of a brawl, you are way outnumbered. I'm looking around out there for who to grab, who to make sure we push back, make sure we grab our players, make sure no one takes a swing at anyone.
"You need more eyes and more people involved in a situation like that to really calm it down quickly."
The spirit of the rule is to keep unnecessary potential agitators off the court, but there are some instances where the presence of additional, responsible parties like coaches and trainers are needed, as with what happened between Cal and Stanford.
Coaches are supposed to be the adults. Let them act like it when players turn into kids and lose control. It is a reasonable conclusion. It seems like something could be easily addressed.
The problem is this is the NCAA we are talking about, an organization that seems to go out of its way to always draw the most illogical and unnecessarily complicated conclusion. Just look at its recent decision to deregulate recruiting contact and its handling of the investigation into Miami.
"The head coach may leave the bench area in this case to prevent the situation from escalating," the second sentence of subsection j reads.
Add three simple words this summer: "and assistant coaches."
It just makes sense. Madsen, Payne and Gottlieb proved as much.

Let me tell you how this works, Courteney CoxDoug French
Dear Ms. No-Longer-Cox-Arquette:
Twitter doesn't normally entice me to click on stuff. Because Twitter has become mostly awful. But when a tweet tells me that you were on national TV guzzling a bowl of Ranch dressing, I am compelled. I feel this way about most famous people when condiments are involved.
Of course, the clip turned out to be the old bait-and-switch, in the typical celebrity-drinks-salad-dressing-but-really-discusses-her-dating-life sort of way to which we're all so sadly accustomed. And you said you hadn't dated since your marriage ended. You seemed enervated by the prospect of dating. Discouraged. "Groove"-less. And you ended the clip by saying, "I'm not sure how this is going to work."
I know how this is going to work: You and I should step out.
I'm getting ahead of myself, I know. But I'm here to tell you: I understand. Dating is like Twitter, in that it, too, is mostly awful. But in both cases, you can be smart and filter out the jerks, the yelling, and the links to inane morning talk shows. And one of the best filters is seeing the person across the table do away with pointless facades. That's the great thing about dating in your 40s: We know it's all crap, and we don't have time for it. We need to get on with this already, because we are halfway dead.
When you're dating at 40+, you can skip to the nitty-gritty. Whip out your baggage and see if it's compatible. Talk about stuff you like, but more reverently, because you take the trouble to make room for it in your busy life. Talk about how single-parenthood sucks, how you miss your kids when they're gone. No specific bitching about the ex, though. If you're still doing that, you're not ready.
I get the idea of how you must feel. You're Courteney Cox, for Pete's sake. You don't just go up to the woman who gave Alex P. Keaton a heart and ask her for a date.
Well, I am. And to break the ice, here are a few things about me:
I'm a fan, but I'm not a fanboy. People will always remember you for the "Dancing in the Dark" video, or Friends, or this new show you're doing that I don't much care for (because the men come off as sort of douchey and dunderheaded). They'll have liked you in the Scream films, or the Longest Yard remake. For me, you'll always be the Dolphins exec who saw Ace Ventura as the raging loon he is and still fell for him so believably. Top-shelf thespianism, that.
I'm not in show business, nor do I aspire to be. I have read Adventures in the Screen Trade and The Kid Stays In The Picture, though. That stuff is gold.
We're age-appropriate. You and I were born 15 months apart. People will see us together and think, "Wow. Look at those people who seem to be at the same station in life! He is in no way one of those gross arrested adolescents who date children, and she is absolutely not shamelessly gold-digging a near-death geezer OR being a cougar, like on that show, of which he is clearly not among the target demographic."
We have some shared experience. We got married at around the same time in life, we split at about the same time, and your daughter is the same age as my younger son. I get the gig, the weird hybrid lifestyle of being a single person trying to remember what hedonism is, and an engaged parent prying golf balls out of the toilet.
I don't care about your wealth. I've never learned how to handle a lot of money, and I'm too old to start now. I come from hard-working, frugal New Englanders who hem and haw about whether to replace the old shovel every winter. I have pants older than most college students, and that's the way I like it.
I love my kids. And cooking. I'm learning to speak Italian, because I want to retire there. I'm a good listener, and I am attentive to detail (especially when people spell their names with another "e"). My ideal night involves Scrabble, a fireplace, and a good Sonoma pinot noir. But I'm also horribly near-sighted, balding, and I don't buy gifts until the absolute last minute.
Oh, and when we go to dinner? I'm paying. Order all the Ranch dressing you want. (Only Hidden Valley, OF COURSE.)
I might even buy new pants.

Association supply orders
To ensure all associations have the supplies needed to properly conduct their upcoming league workshops, USBC has shipped all paper supplies (membership applications, high score award applications, etc.) to associations that placed their order between June 5 and August 7.
We will then begin shipping the special achievement awards in the order they were received. Associations that placed an order during that timeframe can expect to receive their paper shipments within the next week, if they have not already been received.
Association Insurance information
We have been informed that associations in the field have not received a renewal form for their association insurance policies. The providers used last year will be the same providers for this season. Lupke Rice will continue to offer General Liability coverage while Frost Insurance will offer the Officer and Director insurance.
Associations that need to renew their policies can go to
and select the "Forms and Manuals" tab. There will then be a tab for "Insurance" and applications can be printed from there.
Association bank account transactions
Associations will notice that USBC has sent a transaction to their bank account with a label of "prenote". With the installation of a new Customer Relationship Management system at USBC Headquarters, one of the tests that are run involves a transaction to the association's bank account. This transaction will be a zero dollar amount transaction. However, we felt it necessary to inform associations so they would understand the purpose of the transaction and understand that no money is actually being taken from the bank accounts.
Association manager term limits in WinLABs
It is important for all association managers to remember that they are hired/appointed by their board of directors and they have no term limits unless a contract has been signed. Association mangers should make sure they edit the term limits under the "Association Properties" tab within WinLABs. Since WinLABs requires a term end date, a random date in the future can be used.
This information is how USBC Headquarters contacts local associations, and it is important that it be updated and accurate. If it is not updated, the association will show up in our database as not having an association manager.
In addition, it is important for associations to verify that the adult dues section on the "Association Properties" tab of WinLABs is correct. This information directly links the association's dues to the membership page of BOWL.com, so if a member purchases online the local dues that are sent to the association is correct.
Awards page of BOWL.com
The Awards page of BOWL.com has been updated and now includes all award applications to be used for the 2012-13 season. Included on this page are 18 printable certificates to commemorate those achievements that aren't included in the USBC Award program, as well as pictures of the awards that will be used for the upcoming season.

Final averages
Associations should be sure to enter all final averages entered as the leagues are being completed. With the introduction of composite averages being shown on BOWL.com, all averages, regardless of the amount of games bowled, should be entered into WinLABs.
