Moulton and Fairman team up on government green fund
Email a Friend
Jon Moulton's newly formed Greensphere Capital and Foresight Group are to lead a new £80 million investment fund aimed at promoting green infrastructure.
A new initiative, which has been launched by business secretary Vince Cable, means that Greensphere and Foresight, whittled down from an initial shortlist of 23, will manage investments in the small scale waste infrastructure sector.
As part of the arrangement, all Department for Business, Innovation and Skills investments made by the fund managers will be match-funded, meaning £80 million more will be committed.
Cable comments, 'These first investments are a landmark moment. They represent a great opportunity to unlock substantial commercial investment in green technologies and infrastructure.
'Investing directly now shows that we are not just sitting on our hands while we wait for the UK Green Investment Bank to receive state aid approval.'
An initial package of £50 million will be managed by Bernard Fairman-chaired Foresight, and £30 million by Greensphere. According to a statement, single investments are not likely to be more than £15 million.
Sectors that will be targeted include waste recycling and reprocessing facilities, pre-treatment projects and energy-from-waste projects.
Moulton, who also runs turnaround fund Better Capital, believes the decision to award Greensphere the mandate is a 'significant win' for the firm and is a 'vote of confidence' for his team.
Divya Seshamani, managing partner at Greensphere Capital, says, 'Large, high-quality institutional investors look to invest through institutional-grade fund teams.
'Greensphere Capital has built a blue-chip team with a keen focus on creating value for these investors.'

Proof66 Notes
Jim Beam Black label bourbon was originally aged for 8 years on launch but dropped the age statement for the label beginning in 2015 (going with the term "extra aged"). It was considered a premium edition above the more well-known Jim Beam white label's four years of aging. It's considered a premium bourbon intended to compete directly with the more boutique bourbons that are gaining popularity but offering the black at a greatly improved value for the customer.
In discussing the bourbon shortage of 2013, Anthony Dias Blue suggested Jim Beam Black as a new bourbon to try claiming, "In blind tastings of bourbons lower than 90 proof, I've never seen $15 Jim Beam Black Lose" (Tasting Panel Magazine, July, 2013).
Jim Beam—today the largest bourbon producer in the world—was founded by Jacob Beam in the 1790s. He's credited for selling his first barrel of whiskey in 1795 "and the legend was born." It was briefly sold off in 1920 during prohibition but was rebuilt in a mere 120 days following its repeal in 1933. The Beam family has been in continuous position as master distillers for the entire history of the facility; additionally, this prolific family has served as master distillers for most of the bourbon producing distilleries in Kentucky at one time or another--the website contains a "distillers tree" that chronicles the myriad relationships among the bourbon producers of Kentucky. In 2005, they produced their 10 millionth barrel of bourbon. Today, the distillery is one of the landmarks of Kentucky and produces several different hand-crafted bourbons as well as its own flagship labels.
Rabble Reviews
This is a great basic bourbon, and in small bars it's a safe bet. And it's safe to say it's probably one of the all-time best bargains in bourbon out there. But pragmatically speaking, it's lacking in the flavor and complexity that so many others offer.
Not enough complexity. Pretty straight forward. A decent step up from white label though. Unfortunately, Beam has dropped its age statement on this one. Now listed as "Extra Aged". I appreciate the extra aging but miss an 8 year label. I have gone to Devil's Cut as my preferred Beam Bourbon which is much deeper and more complex offering more to the palate. Muncher has very accurate review.
Hi Lorax735... you're right about the age statement. A sad state of affairs! We like seeing whiskey of all kinds offered with an age statement. We adjusted our notes above to reflect that it no longer commits to the full 8 years. Hopefully they'll keep the flavor profile consistent even if it's with less mature stock.
Round and woody-nice nose. Full but rough beginning. Much more intense in flavour than the "white" one. More depth with a round and woody-vanilla body. Long remaining on the tongue, vanilla, wood, smooth malt. Nice and full - this is a quite nice one in the lower segment! 3.3
There are a lot of Bourbons out there that share that shelf just below the good stuff. This "black" fits there nicely. Good Bourbon flavors and some complexity. At 86 proof it again lifts itself from the diluted 80 proofs. Now if you were to put another $5 to your purchase you could buy the "Single Barrel" which is very good Bourbon. Then continue your journey, stopping at Knob Creek and arriving at Bookers. Having arrived at Bookers, you will have awesome Bourbon at hand !
My first reaction, when I tried this was "Oh, that's what's wrong with the Jim Beam, its not aged long enough". This is identical to the white label Jim Beam (harshest 80 proof spirit I've ever tried) except its bottled at a slightly higher proof, and aged twice as long [Note at some point in 2015 they've switched from an 8 year label to an NAS "Extra Aged" label. This review is for the 8 year as that's all I've tried]. The difference is almost night and day. At 4 years old, Jim Beam burns like fire and doesn't taste like much. At 8 years, its a pleasant, flavorful whiskey that can hang with Wild Turkey and Jack Daniels (I'm a big fan of JD, for your typical bourbon fan maybe replace JD with Buffalo Trace for that example). I find Beam Black label to be sweet (though maybe not as candy sweet as JD or Evan Williams) and pleasantly woody (I get char and wood without too many bitter tannins, maybe "smokey would applye too)with some nice grassy/rye notes,all around this is interesting and pleasant. Some complain this is still a bit "rough", for a Beam product its actually quite smooth (It has White Label, Devil's Cut, and Knob Creek beat on that count), and while this isn't as smooth as Evan Williams or Woodford Reserve, its not too rough to sip neat imo. A very pleasant bourbon, and one that probably should have been their flagship (with the White Label relegated to the bottom shelf along with Early Times). If I knew about this stuff when I was 18, I might be as big a fan of Beam as I am of JD. Very good, and it goes on sale for a fantastic price from time to time (that's why I have a bottle it was available for $20 one day and how do you not buy this for $20?). Excellent. I hope they manage to get the NAS version to taste as good as this. 4.5 stars.
Leaving my original 4 star review in quotes underneath. My fears concerning the age statement are justified. This is the first bottle of the "Extra Aged" I've purchased. In a side by side comparison, the nose is still spot on (temporarily getting my hopes up), but the finish is no where near as good as my bottle of 8 year. I'll finish and enjoy my 8 Year, but I doubt another bottle of JB Black is in my future. Just too many other, better options for $26. It loses a star... "Love the bottle and labeling. Retro feel. Don't even mind the screw off top. The nose on this is by far my favorite of any bourbon I've tried. Heavy caramel, pecan pie, vanilla and a note I can't quite pin down. Almost floral. I had to remind myself that I liked the nose on Beam's regular expression as well, only to taste a two star whiskey. It enters rich and sweet. Nice silky mouth feel. All the flavors from the nose are there. Then, there it is. The Beam aftertaste, but toned down. Earthier. Mellowed. Drop in a couple ice cubes and it amps up the char. The sweet becomes almost banana cream. It reminds me of Dickel 12, which I enjoy. This goes for about $24 in my area which puts it in Buffalo Trace territory. Since I can rarely find BT anymore, this might be a good substitute. 4 Stars."
Yep... right with you. Not the greatest bourbon ever and one of those heavy-char jobs... but from a value perspective, this has to be one of the greatest values on the market. I can get this for as low as $17-$18 sometimes. You just have to drink it at that price.
Phizbin...I live in a state where all sales are made in State Run ABC stores. If I could find this for less than $20, it would be one of my everyday sippers. They were running it on sale this month for $22.50 so I decided to try. Their regular price is $26.50 which puts it only $1 less than BT (when I can find it).
Good bourbon for the price, the taste is quite different from Maker's Mark
Agree. white label with a little more body. lacks fullness and deep quality.
A step up from white label, but that's not saying much.
This is my go to bourbon. I find it smooth and mellow with lots of caramel and toffee. I love it.
Nice for the price. A definite step up from white label in quality. Makes a good cocktail, but is certainly palatable for sipping straight or on the rocks.
A light, easy drinking version of the bourbons I like. The ones I favor are bold, oaky, sweet, char heavy, and actually have a lingering finish. Jim Beam Black is a slightly watered down version of that. Definitely a good whiskey, but could be 5 stars with me if it were between 47 and 55 percent ABV; or maybe I'm just nitpicking because this really is some good bourbon.
This is my second favorite Jim Beam product after Basil Hayden's. Its smoother with more flavors than the white label for not that big of a price difference, at least in my area. Highly recommended.
This bourbon starts with a very heavy oak aroma with hints of pepper spice. When sipping straight it starts off slightly sweet but quickly changes to heavy oak with no light tones. The finish lingers for a long time with medium heat. The little bit higher proof of 86 keeps it a little to unrefined, it just does not have a clean flavor profile. I normally like long lingering bourbons but with this one all I get is heavy charred oak flavor almost to the point of just tasting like ash. Over some rocks it loses it's sweetness and goes straight to the solid oak and charred aftertaste. It mellows out only after all the rocks melt away and leaves the aftertaste.
This was my brand for years and years and years. Simply a good solid all-around expression of bourbon.
First of all, please stop saying "better than the white label." Aquarium water and rubbing alcohol is better than the while label. Literally. Black Label is very good--dark, smooth, charred-caramel flavor and rich mouth feel. The problem is, that's all there is to it, and at this price, there are many, many less expensive bourbons with all of this and more complex flavors, to boot.
This is the best Jim Beam label I've tried. For this price, i would definitely try again. It is much smoother than most Beam products. I'd give it a strong 3.5
This isn't terrible and it isn't great. It's just okay to me. This is very affordable, however, and it could be a nice bourbon to share with friends. Just not your best friends. Save some Blanton's for that.
Like liquid candy barrel aged just for me. This is my go to value whiskey. I really dont buy any cheaper whiskey unless l am making 7 and 7s. So much better than the white label they should make this their flagship brand.
My "go to" bourbon for visitors when I don't want to share a premium brand. A great value. Much better than the white label.
This was a pleasant surprise... Far far better than I expected. The flavor is rich (char?). I can see this being my new go to at bars. The other praise I'll add is that we tried this along side Evan Williams 2003, a good bourbon in its own right, this was the clear winner...
Better than the white label. Everything is nicely balanced. A must for your bar/liquor cabinet.
Anthony Diaz Blue the #1 authority on liquor said this 1 beats all bourbons blind...damn.
Im surprised that this does not cost more money. I find this very smooth and quite enjoyable. Perfect for sipping!
A little harsh straight. Smooths out and becomes more complex with a dash of water. 3 stars straight. 4 stars with water
I'm just not a Jim Beam fan. Don't know if it's the rye in the mash bill or what but it's always a bit unenjoyable to me. This product definitely benefits from the extra aging and gains some real flavor and complexity. I'd drink this with just a touch of water but would be wishing for some Wild Turkey or Jack Daniel's in this price range.
Quite nice! Much better than what you think of when you hear "Jim Beam". A surprisingly good find and very reasonably priced.
Perfect! Amazing bourbon for the price.
As a mixer, this is a good bourbon. It has too much bite to be had neat, and you'll have to wait for the ice to melt before consuming it on the rocks. If you really like Jim Beam white, it is a smoother version of the elixir. But there are many more drinkable bourbons out there in this price range.
Reasonable price for an 8yr old bourbon. A bit drier than regular Beam but it makes the best Old Fashioned I've had.
JB Black is a good bourbon with a sweet smell and taste. Although, this is not as smooth as it should be considering it has been aged 8 years (Jack Daniels is actually smoother). Expect fiery dragon breath when taking shots. Mix with coke to remove the harshness and to really bring out this bourbon's sweetness.
Overhyped , did not have the smoothness that you would expect from a 8year aged liquor.
When someone asks for a mixed bourbon drink you will not feel slighted because JBlack is such a great value.
This is by far the best bourbon on the planet for the money. An absolute must have for any bar.

The rumblings were so loud about what some saw as favoritism that even Emmys host Neil Patrick Harris stepped into the fray to explain the reasoning.
"I always find the In Memoriam is just really interesting because sometimes it seems weird that they keep the audio on in the house, so some people get applause and some people don't, and it turns it into this weird moment," he told Access Hollywood. "And you want that moment to be honoring those people, and not a competition."

CHARLES TOWN - Cold blustery weather did not chill the spirits of members of the Shenandoah Garden Club, who gathered in the home of President Judy Bolyard for their February meeting.
Hostesses, Bolyard and Debbie Lowman, prepared a luncheon to lure the most determined dieter from her goal. Celebrating St. Valentine's Day, the tables were laden with salads, cakes, luscious strawberries, and lots of chocolate.
The February floral design assignment was to create a traditional mass design, but in miniature, not exceeding eight inches. Six women participated, each fashioning a colorful, compact bouquet cleverly staged in a variety of containers: traditional round vases, a silver bowl, a square laquered vase, and a Tetsubin Japanese cast-iron teapot.

Shenandoah Garden Club member Pat Bowers shows her prize-winning design: "Sweet and Petite."
The month's program was a slide show given by member Norma Akers. Last year, Akers attended the "2012 Floriade Flower Show" in the Netherlands. Many colorful slides illustrated her imaginative narrative, describing immense fields of tulips, rustic windmills, and marketplaces flowing with flowers. It was a pleasant reminder that, even though the day was cloudy, cold, and spotty with snow showers, spring is only a few weeks away.
Earlier in the month, club members were shocked and saddened at the news of the untimely death of Amy George, a very active member since 2009. Many humorous anecdotes about Amy were joyfully shared during the afternoon meeting. Two new members have joined Shenandoah Garden Club: Karen Verkennes and Mary O'Brien, bringing the Club's membership to 28.

That's nice. However, if it has nothing to do with hardware issues, I'm afraid they're going to drag it to the trash and press delete. Never know though, maybe they'll listen.
Im planning on e-mailing Nintendo and I'm wondering if this is good enough.
Some ideas taken from yungblood6.
Dear Nintendo of America,
I would like to address problems about online issues and hardware problems.
First, I would like to say something about the "friend code system".
Nintendo has made a great and sucessful effort on reaching out to casual gamers with the Wii. But the online system with the friend codes is very unappealing to "hardcore" gamers. It can be complicated and can make the "casual" experience less, well, casual. Its much easier to just enter each others user names rather than a 12-16 digit code. Sometimes people don't have many other people to exchange friend codes with and they want the option to meet someone online and then add them, but that isn't possible since you need a friend code to send a message to them. I was mad at first that you needed to add someone using a code, but then I found out that every single online game had a different friend code, and then you had to re-add everyone on your list with there new code. I think that people registered on your Wii should be automatically included on your game buddy list.
On another note.
Nintendo, as much as I don't want to say it, has seemed to pay less attention to the "hardcore" gamers. You've been spending so much time with the casual gamers that it almost seems you've forgotton who got you to where you are now. Games have definitely gotten easier and less challenging, which is disappointing to the "hardcore" gamers. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was one of the easier of the franchise. In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, you could jump off a cliff 20 or 30 times before you actually died. You can pick up a health pack in almost every room in todays shooters. Our health bars didn't regenerate as much as they do today. It was about surviving on what you had left. It was about challenge. Now it's almost as if we're being given shortcuts to the finish line and instead of running the whole way through. And to top it all off, the online has come short of expectations. There is no way to communicate at all in any online game. Even in games which need it most such as Battalion Wars 2. Honestly, how are we expected to play online co-op in a strategy game, when all we can do is request them to attack something. Voice chat is becoming a must for certain games.
Also, I, and many others, find ourselves quickly running out of internal memory from the lack of storage space. The SD card does work to a certain extent, but you need to have the option of saving directly to the card or storing VC games directly to the card. I, and many others, hope to eventually have an external hard drive to store all our extra information. Having a hard drive would be much easier because if would provide an easier way to just transfer unused games or data to somewhere else for a while until you find you want to use them again, then you can just pull it right of your hard drive and onto your Wii.
I hope you take into consideration what I have said and maybe some of this can possibly change.

I'll include another paragraph about hardware than. ;]
Pain is Weakness Leaving the Body
Haha, yeah, just stick it somewhere in the middle to endish, so they're forced to read the whole thing.
I doubt anyone higher than a minimum wage worker will recieve this, and I doubt that they'll read any further than the title.
Not to fit a mold,Not to join a trend,Not to follow a crowd
Or u could just title it to make them think its a hardware ware issue and then they'll open it and read.
"We are the ones that will open your mind, leave the weak and the haunted behind."
Disturbed Concert=F^cking Awesomness
I just added a hardware paragraph. Post suggestions please.
Pain is Weakness Leaving the Body
Problem is, even if they do read it, they can't just go up to Miyamoto and say, "Look at this Shiggy! A concerned customer, let's do what he says." To be honest kid, there's no way this is going to make it pass the common stooge who receives the emails.
Probably, but its worth a shot, especially since i just spent 40 minutes on it.

Living in Charleston, we're lucky to enjoy Planet Earth's freshest, most delicious foods. But don't we love gourmet treats in other towns? Try a close-to-home culinary journey in Tallahassee, Fla.
At Kool Beanz Café in downtown Tallahassee, the coffee's perfect as we relax on the airy patio. Chef Keith Baxter offers an unusual Sunday Brunch. How about banana rum French toast, topped with plantains and walnuts? Or grilled andouille sausage, fried grit cake, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce? I devoured my delicate seared sea scallops, mango-jalapeno salsa, yucca and coconut black bean sauce. This lively café goes way beyond scrambled eggs and toast with jam.
Another fabulous spot is Paisley Café. Owner Kiersten Woorell segued from banking to baking, so lucky diners now feast on blueberry biscuits and crispy baguettes with fig preserves. In Kiersten's peaceful pretty garden, tuck into hearty smoked gouda hominy grits, apple butter smoked sausage and baked grapefruit with prosecco and Tupelo honey.
After this feast, treat yourself to hip fashions and cool jewelry at Tallahassee's chic boutique, Cole Couture.
In the city's Market District, dine at Mozaik, a festive Brasserie with photos of movie stars, colorful tiled fish and hip Italian lighting. The menu is eclectic: fried green tomato, bacon, lettuce, sandwiches, crispy eggplant gyro, deviled eggs on rye, poblano almond crusted ahi tuna. If you love crab cakes as much as I do, you've gotta have the mini crab cakes with ponzu mayo. Divine.
For a country outing, head 45 minutes north to Thomasville, Ga., for a cheese making tour at Sweet Grass Dairy. Then visit their charming Marketplace shop in Thomasville's Historic District. Sip wine while tasting artisan cheeses like tangy Black Swan or Asher Blue with a rich robust flavor. Browsing Thomasville's gift, clothing and antique shops is a pleasant way to while away the afternoon.
We dined at three of Tallahassee's most popular restaurants: Avenue, Cyprus and Liam's, where chefs regaled us with their culinary prowess.
In 2010, Chris Clark teamed up with Chef Greg Brown, to open Avenue Eat+Drink. Dedicated to serving farm to table fresh ingredients, this duo presented one of the finest tasting menus I've experienced.
Chef Brown prepared six courses, each a work of art: Heirloom tomato gazpacho inside a crunchy cucumber bowl. Grilled Gulf prawn in mango barbecue sauce. Three mini sausages-smoked, jalapeno and cheddar. Stripling sausage and cheese grits. Grilled romaine with shaved manchengo crostini. Lamb with horseradish potatoes. Bread pudding with amaretto cream. Four happy hours later, we were practically wheeled out into the evening.
At Liam's, Chef Scott Foster treated us with Arctic char, wild mushroom soup, picked beet salad and bananas foster. This friendly bistro with flickering candles and intriguing art is delightful, and owners Rhonda and Scott Foster hospitable hosts.
Chef Craig Deihl at Cypress entertained us with his favorite culinary anecdotes, presenting a memorable three course-tasting menu: Ahi tuna tartare with crispy wonton and ginger aioli. Fried okra and tomato salad, with Sweet Grass Dairy cheese. Pan seared redfish in coconut-lemongrass broth with ginger rice. Each course was highlighted with delicious wines from Spain, Oregon and Washington.
The only way to work off culinary decadence like this is to tour Tallahassee's delightful attractions, like Bradley's Country Store, Full Moon Farm and Apiary, and Monticello Vineyards. I spent a blissful afternoon at Wakulla Springs State Park, photographing alligators, turtles, and manatees.
My Tallahassee culinary adventure was much too short. But meeting passionate chefs dedicated to creating glorious meals is reason enough to visit again. Soon.

My mother told me when she was a kid they used to serve oatmeal with butter rather than sugar. I tried it that way and liked it so much I always served porridge that way. I turned out to be sensitive to oats, as many with gluten intolerance are.
I worked in a bakery for a while where we made giant muffins, which at the time was rather a new thing. People loved them. The most popular one was blueberry, which was pure cake. I forget how many the recipe made, but it had 4 pounds of butter in it. One variety we made was fat-free. It had whole wheat, oats, bran, chopped apples, raisins, carrots, "natural sweetener" like honey, and other stuff. I calculated the calorie count at 650 calories per each. They were like lead, they were so heavy. A stout middle-aged woman would come in daily to buy one because her doctor said she had to have fat-free. So she was probably getting half her calories for the day in what she undoubtedly thought was a healthy snack.
Another time a woman complained that the ham had a little strip of fat around the outside. It was real ham. After that I had to remove that fat. But I think what she was upset about was not that it had an infinitesimal amount of fat, but that it had structure, as meat does. She wanted something that looked like it was grown in a tank.
I lol'd so much working at that place.
^^pass the bacon!! I could have been the muffin lady! LOL

One year I bought fresh sweet cherries, pitted them, coated them with fondant, and dipped them in chocolate to bring to a party. They were amazing.
I felt sorry for everybody else, huddling like refugees.

Just recently, I was eating a healthy clam chowder. It consisted of homemade chicken stock, clams, about a ton of miscellaneous vegetables and some bacon and coconut milk. A relative came up when I was noshing and asked me if it was healthy food. I said yes, and he said that healthy food never tastes any good. I was puzzled and said, "But this is delicious."
Healthy food doesn't taste bad when I'm Primal.

Ever wondered what that little creature who screamed "Help me!'' as he writhed in a spider web during the last scene of the sci-fi movie "The Fly'' felt like?
The whole Coronado Elementary School fifth grade wriggled and jiggled and tickled themselves finding out as it wound through a rope puzzle called the "spider web.'' The challenge was one of several exercises put to Coronado students during the school's fifth-annual Outdoor Education overnight trip to Ceta Canyon on Oct. 18.
"The kids just love it,'' said Kel Spradling, Coronado principal. "We use it as a time to build leadership throughout the year. The kids in third and fourth grade talk about it all the time. They can't wait until they're in the fifth grade so they can go. It's the highlight of the year.''
This is the fourth year the school has trekked down to the canyon, Spradling said, and more than 50 students attended. Students left at 8 a.m. and returned to school by 3 p.m. on Oct. 19. In addition to the spider web, students learned archery, watched a traveling chemistry show, played several rounds of volleyball and capped it all off with a hike to the falls.
"This all came about because of a group of interested parents. They wanted to see it happen and so they made it come through,'' she said.

SMU Student Handbook
1. The University has enacted the following traffic rules and regulations for the safety and security of the SMU community. They apply to all students, faculty, staff, and visitors. The parking rules, approved by the Vice President of Business and Finance, will be on file in the offices of Parking and ID Card Services and the Police Department. The complete text of the regulations is also available on the SMU web site at smu.edu/parkingid/.
2. The objective is to obtain voluntary compliance with the regulations rather than to assess fines. Fines have been enacted to deter violations.
3. The plan provides parking spaces as conveniently as possible within the available limits. No one is guaranteed a parking space on campus.
4. Students, faculty and staff are expected to be familiar with and to abide by these regulations at all times and to advise visitors of them. The fact that a violation notice is not issued when a vehicle is illegally parked does not mean nor imply that the regulation or law is no longer in effect. The motor vehicle operator is responsible for being informed about the laws and regulations in force.
5. Persons with registered vehicles are responsible for any citations issued to their vehicles. Lack of convenient parking space is not justification for violation of parking rules. Any unregistered vehicles parked on campus by faculty, staff or students will be cited. Repeated violations (two or more) by unregistered vehicles can result in the vehicle being towed or mechanically immobilized (booted). Citations are not voided from an individual's parking record once paid. They accumulate during the academic year even after being resolved by payment. The moment the sixth citation is issued during the academic year, an individual will be designated a "Habitual Violator" for the remainder of the academic year. Habitual violators who illegally park on the campus will be subject to immobilization and tow. Individuals who receive ten (10) or more citations will be towed at the owner's expense.
6. All appropriate Texas criminal laws and motor vehicle laws, in addition to University regulations, are in effect on SMU property. University police officers and parking enforcement officers have jurisdiction to enforce regulations and the authority to remove or impound any vehicle operated or parked in violation of the regulations.
7. Throughout the year the campus hosts several major events that require reserved parking for the patrons. To facilitate reserved parking demands for event patrons, parking lots normally designated for student, staff, and faculty use may be closed. This will result in some inconvenience to the campus community but does not authorize drivers to park in violation of campus, state, or city ordinances. Vehicles remaining in affected areas may be towed at owner's expense.
8. Questions regarding interpretation or classification of these regulations should be directed to the Parking and ID Card Services Office during normal business hours at 214-768-7275 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. (PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE POLICE DISPATCHER)
VEHICLES ON CAMPUS Motor vehicles parked at any time on University property or streets by students, faculty, or staff must display a current permit, which is obtained from the Parking and ID Card Services Office. Permits must not be falsified, transferred to another person, forged, or altered.
STUDENT VEHICLES When a vehicle is parked on the campus, the parking permit will be displayed inside the front windshield, on the lower RIGHT hand side adhered to the glass. Decals for motorcycles will be displayed on any conspicuous place.
FACULTY AND STAFF VEHICLES Motor vehicles parked on University property or streets by faculty or staff members must display a permit, which is obtained from the Parking and ID Card Services Office in suite 101 of the Expressway Towers Building on the corner of North Central Expressway and SMU Boulevard. The permit will be displayed on the inside of the front windshield, on the lower RIGHT hand side adhered to the glass. On motorcycles, the permit should be displayed in any conspicuous place.
VISITORS PARKING (Faculty, Staff & Students are NOT visitors) Visitors to SMU should be given parking guidance by person or organization inviting them to campus.
1. Visitors and guests of the University may park in metered spaces on campus. The Binkley and Moody Garages also offer self-pay and park options.
2. Visitors parking in the Moody Parking Center will be required to pay a flat-rate fee of $5.00. The one-time $5.00 fee is good for the entire day. The pay station is located at the SMU Blvd Entrance and will accept major credit cards only. Moody Parking Center validators may also be used at the Moody Parking Center station only. These validators may be purchased from the Parking and ID Card Services Office. Visitors must display the receipt of payment on the dashboard to avoid citation.
3. Visitors parking in the Binkley Parking Center take a ticket at entrance and place on dashboard. Payment is made upon exit at $1.00 for every hour the vehicle is parked, not to exceed $12.00 for the day. There is no overnight parking for visitors in the Binkley Parking Center without prior arrangements with the Parking and ID Card Services Office (a permit will be issued instead of the daily rate coupon). Parking and ID Card Services accepts cash or check only for non-SMU affiliates. The pay station located at the Binkley exit accepts credit cards. Binkley Parking Center validators can be used at this pay station. Faculty, staff, or students are NOT considered visitors and may not park in visitor's parking spaces on Level 2 of the Binkley garage at any time.
4. Visitors can only park on campus during normal hours of operation (7 am - 12 midnight). If a vehicle needs to be left overnight or frequent visits are made to campus, call the Parking and ID Card Services Office at 214-768-7275 for instructions.
5. While faculty, staff, and students are not considered visitors, they may park in any metered parking space anywhere on campus, provided they have paid the associated fee. However, faculty, staff, or students may not park in visitor's parking spaces on Level 2 of the Binkley Parking Center at any time.
6. Students are responsible for the actions of their guests on campus and should advise them as to the areas in which they are allowed to park. Guests should be directed to Parking and ID Card Services.
7. SMU is not responsible for any damage that may occur to vehicles parked on campus. Students are not allowed to use visitor parking on Level 2 of the Binkley Parking Center.

Certain low-lying areas of the campus are prone to flooding in heavy rains. Concerns or questions about these areas should be addressed to SMU Facilities Services.
1. SMU provides spaces throughout the campus for the parking needs of persons with disabilities. The campus honors any government-issued disability designation visibly displayed.
2. SMU has provisions to issue a temporary disabled permit. Temporary disabled permits may be issued with written authorization from a physician. This issuance is done at the Parking and ID Card Services Office. Temporary permits may be issued for a maximum of six (6) weeks. This provision will enable an individual to obtain a State temporary permit if the disability is expected to continue longer.
3. Persons with "Disabled"; permits must pay to park in SMU-operated (private property) metered parking spaces.
4. An unauthorized vehicle in a space reserved for disabled persons will be cited and towed at the expense of the owner/operator.
5. Spaces designated for disabled persons may be used only by vehicles displaying an appropriate permit. The regulation applies AT ALL TIMES (24 hours a day, seven days a week). Vehicles improperly parked in such spaces will be towed away. A $300 FINE WILL BE CHARGED FOR EACH VIOLATION. THIS WILL BE IN ADDITION TO THE TOWING/BOOT CHARGE AND IMPOUNDMENT FEES.
6. A parking placard or plate is ONLY valid when being used by the person with the disability or someone who is driving the person with the disability. It is a violation of state law to use the placard or plates for a disabled parking spot without the person with the disability in the vehicle.
NOTE: Article 6675a.5e.1, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes
Section 10. (a) A person commits an offense if the person is neither temporarily or permanently disabled nor transporting a temporarily or permanently disabled person and parks a vehicle with such special device or displaying a disabled person identification card in a parking space or parking area designated specifically for the disabled by a political subdivision or by a person who owns or controls private property used for parking for which a political subdivision has provided for the application of this section under Subsection (c) of Section 6A of this Act.
Section 11. Presumption. In a prosecution of an offense under Section 10 of this Act, it is presumed that the registered owner of the motor vehicle that is the subject of the prosecution is the person who parked the vehicle at the time and place the offense occurred.
There are many types of permits issued by SMU: Only one vehicle can be registered to SMU resident students. Two vehicles may be registered to non-resident students, faculty, and staff. By virtue of purchasing an SMU parking permit, all agree to read, understand, and abide by SMU parking policy. An additional parking permit for another vehicle can be bought at the full price for the full year. All students living in an SMU residence hall, SMU apartment or sorority/fraternity house must register their vehicle or opt-out of an SMU parking permit if he/she does not have a vehicle at school.

The operator of a vehicle in violation of regulations will receive a citation. A violation fine is a University fee and must be paid at the Student Financial Services Office at the Laura Lee Blanton building.

Habitual violators may continue to park on campus as long as the vehicle is in an appropriate and legal space. However, subsequent violations will subject the violator to a fine and vehicle immobilization (booted).
2. If a vehicle owned or operated by a habitual violator is illegally parked anywhere on campus, that vehicle will be immobilized. Towing may be necessary in certain circumstances. All tow fees apply to the owner/operator of the vehicle.
3. The citation payment does not constitute reinstatement of a person's parking privileges.
4. Subsequent violation of parking regulations will result in the student being referred to the Dean of Student Life for action.
Vehicles in violation of posted restrictions (i.e., cited two times or more for parking without a current decal, parked in a fire lane, occupying a space reserved for the disabled with no visible authorization, parked in a reserved space, in a service vehicle space without a hang tag, blocking traffic flow or a danger to the safety of others) will be towed, immobilized or impounded at the owner's expense. Arrangements to retrieve the vehicle must be made at the Parking and ID Card Services Office during regular business hours or SMU Police Department all other hours.
All tows are made by a licensed towing service. SMU is not responsible for any damage sustained as a result of a tow. The tow service accepts responsibility for the vehicle during the towing process.
Any vehicle parked on University property without University permission for a period of 48 hours or more is considered abandoned under state law and can be towed from the campus at the owner's expense. After the vehicle is towed, the owner who is listed on the state registration of the vehicle will be informed about location of the vehicle via certified mail. Failure to claim the vehicle from the storage company within 20 days of the notice will result in the vehicle becoming the property of the storage company. Vehicles that are not in driving condition are not allowed to be stored on University property. Vehicles that are under repair are not to be stored on SMU property.
Students may not store or park a boat or trailer on campus. Permission to temporarily park a mobile home on campus will be granted by Parking and ID Card Services on a specific-need basis.

text: The Word tells us in Matthew 28:19-20, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you." In Matthew 18:3, Jesus speaks about becoming as little children. One might wonder how a person can teach and yet be as a little child. Jesus explained many important truths in parables, and yet they always were simple. He never set out to complicate things, but aimed for effectiveness.

Dear Tax Talk,
I am 66 years old. My income is approximately $30,000 a year. I just started collecting Social Security at 66. Do I have to pay taxes on this extra money and why? How do I prevent this from happening if possible?
-- Fred
Dear Fred,
According to the September 2013 statistics released by the Social Security Administration, you are now in the company of 39,313,000 individuals aged 65 or older receiving Social Security benefits. As a general rule, Social Security benefits are not taxable if they are your only source of income during a year. But if you have investment income or earned income, then up to 85 percent of your Social Security benefits may be taxable, depending on your filing status and the amount of the income.
The first step is to determine whether your benefits are taxable and if the answer is yes, then the next step is to calculate how much of your benefits are taxable.
To calculate whether your Social Security benefits are taxable, you need to add half of your Social Security income that is reported in Box 5 of your Form SSA-1099 to your income, which includes taxable pensions, wages, interest, dividends, other taxable income and tax-exempt interest income. If you are married and file a joint return, you need to include the income and benefits, if any, received by your spouse. You then need to compare this number to your "base amount."
Your base amount is:
If the amount you calculated above is equal to or less than the base amount for your filing status, none of your Social Security benefits are taxable this year. If the amount calculated is more than your base amount, then some of your benefits may be taxable.
The next step is to use the worksheet that is included in IRS Publication 915, Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits, to calculate the amount of the taxable Social Security benefits. You will report the Social Security benefits on Line 20 of your Form 1040.
In order to prevent the Social Security benefits from being taxable, you will have to decrease the amount of income you are receiving so that you are below your base amount.

Living in the Shaolin (Staten Island, for those not following along), I have two choices for Pizzeria Uno's - going into Brooklyn or going to Jersey. Jersey was the clear cut winner since (1) the bridge is cheaper and (2) parking is easier to find. Ant begged me to call over to Uno's to make sure they had the pizza. I told him not to worry since all Pizzeria Uno's have gluten-free pizza starting this week.

In the following video, Fool analysts Matt Koppenheffer and David Hanson discuss how Federal Reserve actions may change your approach to retirement planning.
Recently, many private investors have been considering stocks that pay higher dividends, specifically mortgage real estate investment trusts, or REITs, as an alternative to low-yield fixed securities. Matt thinks that mortgage REITs, including Annaly Capital Management (NYSE: NLY ) and American Capital Agency (NASDAQ: AGNC ) , will have to navigate a challenging short-term interest-rate environment. He explains how short-term interest-rate spreads may affect future dividend yields and stock prices.
Matt also considers how your retirement time horizon may be a crucial factor in deciding to include or hold mortgage REIT equities in your portfolio.
There's no question Annaly Capital's double-digit dividend is eye-catching. But can investors count on seeing that payout stick around? In The Motley Fool's premium research report on Annaly, senior analysts Ilan Moscovitz and Matt Koppenheffer uncover the key challenges the company faces and divulge three reasons investors may consider buying it.

I have to admit, this is the first time I've heard of this. Do you have issues connected with a ethernet cable with the HDMI display cable used?
Emily - Program Manager @ Xbox, Xbox One Preview Program
i have no problem when using ethernet, but because it kind of inconvenient at my place i prefer to use wireless.
I've seen this once, someone on our forum reported it, they fixed it by replacing the HDMI cable not sure if it was replaced with a different make or the same.

nope i change the brand of the cable and try one in diifferent grade of hdmi still doesn't work
is there even any one looking at this post any more?
Hey there - please give us 24 hours to respond to your posts. ;)
Where exactly does the connection test fail? Between your console and the network, the internet, or LIVE?
the connection test fail between the console and the network
And just to confirm, if you remove the HDMI cable, you can connect to wifi properly, yes? Can you try using these HDMI cables with another console, preferably the same model? Thanks!
Xbox Community Ambassadors TeamJoin the community!
when i remove the hdmi cable the wifi work properly, and i can't try them on another console because i only have one
What type of HDMI cable is it? Does your TV have internet connectivity?
i have a smart tv so yes it have internet connectivity the first hdmi cable is a high speed one and the second one is a standard grade hdmi cable.
What tv do you have?
Are both hdmi cables that you've tried a ver. 1.4?
37" D5520 SMART LED TV and the hdmi cable one are 1.3 i think
Is your TV connected via wifi as well? I'm thinking there is a relationship between your TV's wireless connectivity and the Xbox. Could you try turning off the wifi adapter on the TV and see if your console is then able to connect?
the tv have no wifi, i dont have the wireless adapter for it.

But it was the promise of family-style dining that intrigued the Gourmet the most. The reason is because the Gourmet has never dined at an establishment that offers true family-style dining and was excited at the prospect.
It was a weekend night when the Gourmet and guest decided to take advantage of the spring weather and take a short jaunt to Sharpsburg. Oftentimes those coming to Sharpsburg from West Virginia whiz by downtown to make the turn to Antietam National Battlefield. But Rudy's Antietam Cafe and Wine Bar is one reason why visitors should stop and enjoy the town.
Those entering Rudy's can enter two ways, one through the front door or a stroll into the bar next door to enter from there. Once the Gourmet and guest stood at the hostess station waiting to be seated, we were surprised how packed the restaurant was. There were two large family-sized groups —one of five, the other seven and another one of two. It was enough to keep the waitress/hostess hopping for awhile before she had the chance to catch her breath and seat us.
The family-style menu offered some simple, stick to-your-ribs kind of choices. This isn't for a family who can't decide on what to eat as a team. It's one choice for the table of two. Larger tables can order more entrees to split.
There were many dishes to choose from including a chicken dish, beef stroganoff and pork and sauerkraut. We decided on the pork.
The family style includes a salad, the entree, a side (mashed potatoes in our case), and dessert for $10 a person, plus drinks. Not a bad offering.
As we chatted while waiting on our first course of salad, the Gourmet noticed the nice ambiance of the restaurant. The walls were deep green with a splash of red on an accent wall. Wine bottles are displayed in special holders that are attached to the walls to add an artistic element.
Next to the dining room is a nice bar where people can partake of some more of the wine. An added bonus for nonsmokers is that a new Maryland law demands that all bars are smoke-free.
Tables were seated with leather-backed chairs. And gold chargers were set on top every table. The mood fit the fine dining element, but during the week's change in style, little things like the chargers, for instance, were too pretentious for a simple family-style menu.
Service was slow, but the Gourmet had to forgive the sweet waitress who told us that she was new and trying to juggle the tables. Speediness comes in experience and the Gourmet can recognize the difference between inexperience and incompetence. It was the former for the waitress.
The salad was fresh mixture of greens, carrots, onions and tomatoes. It was a nice beginning to the meal, but the salad was too much for just two people. Especially those who ordered a large heavy meal.
It wasn't that long before the pork and sauerkraut were served. The entree came in a large serving tray giving everyone a chance to dig in. Dig in we did, even though our mashed potatoes hadn't arrived yet.
Pork medallions were sliced over a bed of sauerkraut. Over the pork was a sauce that was sweet and just a little tangy. The guest didn't mind the sauce and thought that it wasn't overbearing the pork. The Gourmet thought that the sauce was a little too much and would have preferred it on the side so that it didn't mix with the 'kraut.
Both, though, agreed that the pork was dry and the sauce couldn't help keep its moistness. However, the flavor was there and pork and sauerkraut are always a good pairing.
The mashed potatoes were lumps and all —which included skins —making it a nice thick side dish that complemented the meal. The Gourmet, though, would have wished for the option of purchasing an additional side of hot vegetables to round out the meal even more.
There had been talk of taking home the leftovers, but the Gourmet and guest realized the only thing left was sauerkraut and a spoonful of mashed potatoes. Not enough to call for a doggie bag.
Stuffed, the Gourmet and guest weren't too sure about the promised ice cream dessert. But for the sake of great food journalism, sacrifices had to be made, so calls went out for vanilla and chocolate sundaes. Topped with hot chocolate, whipped cream and a cherry, it was the perfect ending for a family-style meal.
Although there were some hiccups in the service, Rudy's could really foster the family-style meals to make it a weekday family tradition in Sharpsburg. And all without a trip to the battlefield.

The CT scan depicts an endoleak, which is persistent filling of contrast into the aneurysm sac after stent graft exclusion. They are classified into 5 types. Type I refers to a leak across the seal zone either proximally or distally. Type I leaks are usually seen at placement or years later after migration of the proximal attachment. If seen during initial placement, they should be treated prior to terminating the operation because they rarely spontaneously resolve.
Type II endoleaks are due to retrograde flow through branch vessels, which are either lumbar arteries or the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). They occur in approximately 20% of patients after endovascular stent graft repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm.1 Type II endoleaks are typically followed with serial CT scans, and many are seen to close spontaneously. Some surgeons will treat if the endoleak persists for greater than 6 months, some will treat for growth in the aneurysm sac, and others require both. The treatment goal is to close the endoleak allowing complete exclusion of the aneurysm sac. Options for nonsurgical treatment include embolization using coils or fibrin glue by a transarterial or translumbar approach. Surgical options range from a laparoscopically placed clip to conversion to an open vascular repair.
Type III endoleaks are secondary to leakage between the modular components or between the main body and the docking limb of a stent graft. Like type I endoleaks, these either occur early or late. If detected at the time of the procedure, typically further angioplasty is needed to form a seal. If detected late, it is usually due to material fatigue and then fracture of the stent or suture breakdown. Late type III endoleaks require additional cuff or limb placement, sometimes requiring placement of an aortouniliac device within the original stent graft with a femoral-femoral crossover graft.
Type IV endoleaks are caused by graft porosity. Very frequently this is seen on completion arteriogram at the time of placement due to transgraft migration of contrast. Type IV endoleaks do not require therapy because they resolve when the heparinization from the operation is allowed to reverse.
Type V endoleak was originally used to describe an aneurysm sac that was growing in size secondary to endotension—or persistent systemic pressurization of the sac—but a discrete cause could not be found.
Our patient was found to have a type II endoleak from his IMA on his first postoperative CT scan. This was followed with serial CT scans. Two years after endograft placement, a repeat CT scan was performed, which showed a persistent type II endoleak with a slight increase in sac size (Figure, A).
Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis (A) and superior mesenteric artery arteriogram (B).
The patient was then taken to the Interventional Radiology Suite where an abdominal aortogram was performed followed by selective catheterization of the superior mesenteric artery. The superior mesenteric artery arteriogram demonstrates a blush—contrast pooling in the midline aneurysm sac from retrograde filling of the IMA—which is by definition a type II endoleak (Figure, B). A microcatheter was then advanced through this collateral pathway to embolize the origin of the IMA using Tornado microcoils (Cook, Bloomington, Indiana), with follow-up arteriogram showing immediate technical success.
The initial technical success of transarterial embolization is 79% in patients where all sources can be accessed via collaterals.2 The question of whether pressure will still be transmitted across coils to increase endotension is currently not answered as long-term follow-up has not yet been reported.

text: John, I absolutely love my Galaxy Nexus 4G LTE. My company has me on Verizon, but you can get the Galaxy Nexus from other carriers. Its running Jelly Bean and its pretty awesome. Do not fall for the non-Nexus devices, as they wont give you the pure Google Android experience. Thats the beauty of the Android sphere. Device makers are free to use Android in however they wish to serve the customer base they want to target, and they can modify the interface for that market. The other cool thing about Android is that you can choose to stick with the "Google Experience" and buy only Nexus branded devices, which only run pure android without all the other fluff added in by the manufacturer. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is also a very well built phone in my opinion. I love that I can swap in the larger capacity battery when I need to, and not add any bulk to the phone. I am pretty damn rough on my phones, and I only have a screen protector on my Nexus, and it looks almost new. I have been using it Since early February. It has a huge screen (4.3 or 4.5 inch, cant remember) that is larger than even the "new hotness" iPhone 5. Excellent visibility in direct sunlight, and has a superb battery life. I use my phone ALOT during work hours, and I can charge it overnight, unplug it at 7am, use it all day at work, then take it to class, and by the time I get home at 10pm, it will still have around 30% battery left. and thats on the OEM non-extended battery. Hope that helps!
