It's not like Hannah Kuhr wasn't a good swimmer to start with. She was. But now the Columbine junior has added an extra element to her game — a faster start — that makes her that much better.
It certainly didn't hurt on Jan. 28 at the Ridge Recreation Center when she swam to dominating victories in the 50-yard freestyle and 100 butterfly against arch-rival Chatfield
WESTMINSTER — When Standley Lake met Dakota Ridge on Dec. 17 at Dakota Ridge High School, the Lady Eagles dominated from the opening tip-off. The rematch on Jan. 28 at Standley lake High School was virtually the polar opposite.
The Lady Gators(12-4 overall, 8-2 5A Jeffco) jumped out to an early 8-0 lead and were never challenged in a 54-37 victory.
Alex Koop led three Columbine players in double figures with 17 points as the Rebels rolled to a 76-50 win over Lakewood on Jan. 27 at Columbine High School.

The area affected by the mountain pine beetle grew by 400,000 acres in 2010, a decrease of 24 percent compared to the 524,000 acres infested in 2009, according to the latest aerial survey by the U.S. Forest Service and the Colorado State Forest Service. The results were released Jan. 21.
Since the first signs of the outbreak appeared in 1996, the pine beetle has destroyed a total of 4 million acres of forest in Colorado and southern Wyoming. The lodgepole forests in counties such as Summit and Grand have been hit the worst.

Over the next 10 years, cities and special districts can expect to get less grant money from the Jefferson County Open Space Division as the agency faces the reality of a not unexpected, but substantially diminished, nest egg.
A large portion of the $160 million in bond money authorized in 1998 to fund acquisitions has been spent, meaning there is a lot less available for buying up raw land.
An assault charge against Foothills Park & Recreation District golf director Tom Woodard was dropped earlier this month, though the former PGA player pleaded guilty Jan. 5 to a misdemeanor charge of violating a protection order.
The recreation district is not planning disciplinary action against Woodard, who was arrested twice last June in connection with an alleged assault against his wife and the violation of a protection order.
Hundreds of teens from around the state descended on Dakota Ridge High School on Jan. 29, pitting their math- and science-saturated brains against one another at the 21st annual Colorado Science Bowl.
Students in teams of four or five faced off in short rounds, having mere seconds to calculate the area of a sphere, find the dielectric constant in a vacuum, and recite the functions of a cell nucleus.
Robberies in Jefferson County more than doubled in 2010, an increase the Sheriff's Office attributes in part to crime rampages led by small groups of bandits.
There were 29 robberies last year, including everything from purse snatching to holdups at gunpoint. Only 14 robberies were reported in 2009.
But overall, crime in Jeffco fell 4 percent last year, the Sheriff's Office reported. There were 8,228 reported crimes in 2010, compared to 8,563 in 2009.

We must stop human trafficking: Guest Voice of Joe Sestak
As the father of a young daughter the same age as the 300 Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped a few weeks ago, I felt the pang of loss any parent would. For me, a dropped hand in a crowded mall and a panicked turn, searching, brings to mind a parent's worst nightmare: discovering his or her child is suddenly missing. It is why the news about the abduction of the young girls should force U.S. leadership to focus on how to help prevent and respond to violence -- including trafficking and enslavement -- to women and girls, and to bring tremendous assistance to bear when it happens again.
The brief attention paid in the press and by the public to these schoolgirls has been absent for too long in highlighting a hidden scourge within our own nation and across the world: slavery, under the modern-day name of human trafficking.
A recent U.S. Department of Justice-funded study reported that more than 250,000 American children are at risk of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. Somewhere between 15,000 and 50,000 women are annually brought into the United States to be slaves, an appalling crime that is a stain on our nation and affects women of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds. Taken against their will, young girls are forced to work or to become victims of sexual abuse and exploitation.
At least 700,000 people annually, primarily women and children, are trafficked within or across international borders. There are an estimated 12 million to 27 million victims globally, of which the 300 Nigerian girls are only the most noted.
When I was a U.S. congressman, I co-sponsored the International Violence Against Women Act. The bill directed the U.S. government to establish regional arrangements with other countries that work to prevent -- and respond to -- the spectrum of violence against women and girls, including human trafficking. Focused initially in five select countries that have a high incidence of violence against women and trafficking of women, international efforts would concentrate on a comprehensive legal, humanitarian and economic approach to bolstering regional systems that help protect women and young girls.
I am disappointed that IVAWA has failed to gain enough support to move forward. This year's Senate version of the bill would make clear that ending discrimination and violence against women and girls is a top priority for the United States and central to our national security interests. The bill will ensure that the U.S. government has a comprehensive strategy in place -- overseen by the permanent establishment of the Office of Global Women's Issues within our State Department -- to promote the rights and safety of women and girls around the world. And then, when a situation like Nigeria's outrageous abduction occurs, the U.S. would already be poised to react in concert with the regional arrangements established with, and within, other countries.
Unfortunately the bill currently has only 21 co-sponsors. This is especially shameful since here at home this blight of human trafficking is too pervasive in our own society, and also indicative of the higher epidemic of abuse to American women. One in four women is a victim of domestic violence, and one in five women have been raped during their lifetimes. Chillingly, for those who have teenage daughters, one in three adolescent girls in the U.S. experiences abuse from a dating partner and one in five young women is a victim of attempted or completed sexual assault during their college years.
It was therefore incredible that the reauthorization of the domestic Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was filibustered two years ago due to the inclusion of additional protections for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence and stalking within the immigrant, Native American and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities. It finally passed in 2013, but without all of the requested protections for immigrant victims.
Modern-day slavery can be defeated, just as slavery focused on race once was outlawed here in America. But to combat it in its modern, hidden hideaways, and at the sources of this immoral crime, we must also provide the needed resources to the FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The FBI and ICE are the key law enforcement agencies tasked to find the perpetrators of the enslavement of our women and children. However, their annual convictions for human trafficking average only 200 -- a fraction of a percent of the number put into slavery.
Worth the focus and the cost? When my daughter Alex's hand slips out of mine and she is lost from sight for a few moments, one cannot but think as we walk out of the mall together: Have we really done enough that all parents can feel assured that they can always walk out with their young daughter, safely?

I'll do my best, RR.
I'll do my best, RR.
I just updated my resume again... to more closely match a position I was applying for. I swear, updating a resume for USAJOBS could be a full time job... seriously. I put in for a supply specialist position. I think I'm a good fit since I've held that same title once before and have an pretty decent logistics background. It tops out at the GS-09 level, so there'd be no pay increase, but there are GS-11's out there (one is posted in the same organization - just not eligible for it by grade). I really want something with promotion potential but with work I'll enjoy, too.
Whole30 Day Two. *throws confetti* I survived the Mexican restaurant last night. I had a taco salad comprised of meat, lettuce and tomatoes only with guac and TONS of salsa. I easily put an entire cup of salsa on that thing. I put enough salsa on it that the dang thing got cold. lol It wasn't that good, but it was edible, so whatever.
I'm super busy today so I probably won't be able to check in with everyone. I hope you're all doing well.
Day Three *confetti* Down 5.2 lbs already. Finally back in Onederland. Still trucking along. I have some stuff to turn in to a different office down the street today so I think I'll take a walk - unless it's raining. If it's raining, I'll stay put. I need to get a bike rack for my car so I can bring my bike to work and ride over lunch. Brad and I have a little bit of extra money laying around thanks to his lump sum raise, so maybe I'll spend a bit on that. I can get one for less than $50.
Having second thoughts about cutting my hair now. Not really sure I want to do it now. I need to think on it longer I think.
Day 4. Down 5.2 lbs in 3 short days. I hope the trend continues. At this point, I plan to continue this course of action until Thanksgiving. Maybe taking one day here and there to make some dairy containing meals for the family that they really love (and I love too). But for the most part, I plan to continue this path til Thanksgiving so I can reach my goal of 166 (or better) by then.
Monday, no matter what, I'm getting my butt up off the chair at work and getting some movement in. SIL and I are doing a 5k on the 24th and she's going to smoke me if I don't get some running in. I don't necessarily want to compete with her, but I certainly don't want to be lagging behind either. I want to at least hold pace with her.
I have a lot of things I want to get done at home tonight. Mostly, laundry and balancing YNAB. I want to fold two baskets of laundry and put it away. The laundry situation always gets the best of me. I know it's b/c I don't have a system in place and every time I try to create a system, I fail to maintain it. So then the laundry stacks up again. It would help if I had some help with household chores. Brad is good at getting the kids to pick up the living room and at washing and drying the laundry, but that's where it ends. Any actual CLEANING (i.e. vaccuuming, mopping, etc) is on me. Folding and putting away laundry is on me. Washing and putting away dishes is on me. Making dinner is on me (unless we want to eat something that comes from a box). Organizing the mail is on me. Keeping the kitchen decluttered is on me. And balancing the checkbook/paying bills is on me. In the words of my boss: "I can either do a few things really really well, or a I can do a bunch of things half assed. Take your pick." Bottom line, I can't do it all, and not having control over it all (or knowing someone else has it covered) piques my anxiety, so then I tend to shut it all out and then it gets worse. It takes everything I've got to keep up with dishes and so far this week, I'm failing miserably at that b/c all of a sudden my dishwasher has stopped actually CLEANING the dishes. Most of the time, there's a film stuck on something, dried dishwasher detergent stuck on something else, hard water stains (from boiling eggs) still on something, or food bits I missed stuck to something. I hate my dishwasher and I'm ready for a new one but I can't afford one. This one is 7 years old. Could it be on the fritz already? JetDry doesn't help either.
Tonight's plan of attack: dinner and 2 baskets of laundry folded and put away. Oh and washing the kids' bedding b/c magically, they both wet the bed last night. *sigh* And of course, we'd taken the plastic liner thing off Brady's bed since he'd gone so long (like an entire year) without peeing the bed. So now his mattress will need some work too. Probably just febreze at this point. Don't know what else to do about it.
Anyhow, I'm just feeling sorry for myself now. So, I'm gonna end this post. I hope everyone's having a great day!
Have you ever cleaned the dishwasher? There might be gunk clogging a filter.
My laundry "method" is more of a schedule: towels and sheets ( if any) Monday night, jeans and field clothes Tuesday night, darks (or everything else if it was a light week) Wednesday night, lights and whites/ bleached things Thursday night. If you go through more than that per week, you could probably repeat the cycle twice a week with some adjusting.
As to vacuuming, mopping, and sweeping, as well as clutter, I'm no help. It usually sits there until I get fed up with it and deal with it all in one go.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"
My Latest Journal
I have found the first plan of attack for clutter is start getting rid of things that are not well used or necessary. For example - kids toys that they tend to drag out and then get bored with in 10 minutes. If its that boring they don't need it. Clothes that just don't quite fit anymore - too short, too tight or are worn out -- out they go. That applies to the entire family - but does not apply to that favorite old sweatshirt/t-shirt/pair of jeans or sweats. We just don't need more than one of each. Kitchen.......... get rid of bowls, plastics, utensils etc. that you haven't used in the past year. If its a special holiday item, this doesn't apply. Cleaning supplies: if you bought a product and don't like the way it works - but don't want to throw it out cuz you PAID for it --- let it go, chalk it up to experience and throw it out. Donate or landfill - your choice. Pantry........... check expiration dates on items that aren't needed very often -- I've just gone through my pantry and found cans that expired 2 years ago!!!

Jen, I tried to create a schedule. It was similar to that, except I sort clothes by who they belong to - makes folding and putting away easier in my opinion. Everything we own is so old that the whole separating by color thing is a moot point. I used to wash my stuff on Sunday, Brad's on Monday, kids' on Tuesday, and towels on Wednesday. Then one day, I was tired and didn't do it and that was all it took to get out of control again. It usually boiled down to 1 load per day, except towels b/c they take up so much room I did 2 loads of those.
I clean my dishwasher regularly. I shop vac it out, pull the filters, wash everything, run a cycle of vinegar and a cycle of lime-away. Unless there's something somewhere that I can't reach, I tend to get everything pretty good. I probably need to do it again. Will need to remember to pick up some lime-away this week. We have hard water which I know makes things work less effectively. Maybe it's limed up again.
I balanced our YNAB account last night. I went to bed really stressed and anxious about it. I realized it's August and we don't have anything saved up for Christmas, and still have $500 in vehicle registration to pay before October 1. Plus school supplies and no credit cards to put any of it on. I just sat down with my spreadsheet (I love YNAB but I still can't give up my projections spreadsheet). I have a plan now set for registration and a plan for Christmas, both plans allowing for another week or two to reach the necessary balances should something come up.
I need to be more mindful of what I'm spending on Thirty-One because I am not making the headway on the credit cards I'd like to be making. I keep throwing a large chunk at the biggest credit card but I'm beginning to think that's doing me no good. Maybe I need to do like Dave Ramsey says and hack at the littlest one first. Get it out of the way. I could easily get it paid off in about 4 months, max five, if I'm disciplined and diligent. I put $500 from Brad's lump sum on the biggest one and only $200 of that went to principle. I hate that credit card. I want so badly for it to be gone. I want to call them and beg for a lower interest rate b/c this just isn't working, but it's Brad's card so they won't talk to me. And Brad is so ignorant to our expenses (that's partly my fault b/c I don't overcommunicate financial matters with him - I'm learning I am a HUGE part of the problem) that I don't think he'd fight hard enough to get it reduced. I'd resort to pleading and begging... he'd accept no for an answer and just tell me that I'll find a way to make it work - b/c I always do. I just need to go about this systematically. Make the minimums on the biggies, pay off the teenies, then work on nailing the big fish. Small fish catch big fish, right?
I chose not to do laundry last night. I don't know why. I cleared the table after dinner and cleaned up right away with every intention of folding the towels at least (my favorite load to fold b/c they're so quick), but after putting the kids to bed, all I wanted to do was sit on my duff. So, that's what I did. Then some drama came up with two of my Thirty-One hostesses that I'm still trying to decide how to handle and laundry became the last thing on my list. I finally started the dishwasher at 11 and then remembered I still had to balance YNAB. I was up til 12:30. I didn't care about laundry at that point. I did wash the kids' sheets and dried them, and then washed and dried their clothes, so they at least have stuff to wear. It's not folded, but it's clean. That's what matters most right? One of these days the ADD will be under control again and I'll be able to get a handle on things once more.
Things to do this weekend:
Close Thirty-One party
fold laundry (all of it if possible)
stake tomatoes
clean dishwasher
vacuum living room
Dividend Day for P&G (10-2 on Saturday, plus 2 hr round trip commute)
Brad is racing tonight and tomorrow night. The kids and I are not going tomorrow night. I wish we could but I don't have the money for the gas to drive up there and back (1 hour both ways) or the money for admission and food/snacks for the kids. It's double features so I'd love to go and watch Brad race twice, but I don't think I should. Plus I have SO much to do at home. I think we'll go to Dad's for dinner instead, the kids can play with the neighbor girl for a while and I can get some stuff done - hopefully.
Today is Brad's birthday. He's off work and fishing with a buddy. I hope he catches a nice one.
credit card suggestion: Take out another card in BOTH names (just don't give Brad a card) - find one with a lower interest rate. Pay off the current card with the new card (then cancel it!) -- then try to negotiate for a lower rate after you've had the card long enough to satisfy them of your good credit practices.

Brad's not a problem with the cards. He doesn't carry them now. The problem is that the interest rate is so outrageous that I can't seem to make any headway with them.

First BPL has made me a lot of money previously, but I got out last time @ 61.05 and still hear the bullet going past my ear. You can't bump the distro, start new capital programs with a dcf ratio of .78. This is what happens. $46 might be high here...unless this ship is righted.I hope to invest in BPL again one day...buy it will be awhile. GL to any holders.
Skip BPL and move into MMP. MMP has gone from distribution growth of 7% to close to 12% this year. S&P just raised price target $10 to $82.BPL's problem is they have taken every action MMP did but way too late and it cost dearly. First, MMP bought its GP at 11x ebitda. BPL paid 26x ebitda. Then MMP bought BP Cushing storage assets immediately after BP got into trouble... BPL bought BP assets but paid up big time after BP stabilized. Then BPL bought the Boorco terminal assets and paid waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much for terminal/storage assets.BPL is in a huge mess now. Its cost of debt and capital have gotten too high and they are in no position to purchase a highly accretive asset to compensate because none exist and their older petroleum assets in the northeast have zero growth prospects while MMP's gulf assets are the bong.It is clear that MMP is the far superior MLP to own for coverage of petroleum-related products.

Mario Kart: Double Dash
Ain't it funny how time slips away?
Yeah, we'll say it: Mario Kart: Double Dash is the most fun you'll have with a game this year. And probably next year. And maybe even the year after that. It's not the same kind of fun as, say, spending 80 hours on a game so your purple mage reaches level 67 and unlocks a totally badass poison spell, nor is it the same kind of fun you get from collecting 100 golden whatzits in the abandoned amusement park. No, this is the kind of fun where the phrase "OK, one more game" means you're sitting on the couch for at least two more hoursDouble Dash is that good.
But if you're a Mario Kart fan, you already know this. So, why bother upgrading when Mario Kart 64 still rests comfortably in the cartridge slot? Two words: cooperative driving. Double Dash's dual-driver system might seem needlessly complicated at first, but once you get the hang of vehicle attributes, synchronized powersliding, and item exchanges, the finer nuances reveal themselves, and it's hard to go back to the plain ol' karts of yesterday.
But wait, there's more, including a highly addictive battle mode called Bob-omb Blast, some of the series' best course designs, character-specific weapons, three types of karts, and a wealth of unlockable modes, tracks, karts, and characters.
Like a well-timed lightning-bolt strike, Mario Kart: Double Dash eliminates any lingering (and foolish) doubts that Nintendo has lost its ability to make truly outstanding videogames. It's one of the best games of the year because it succeeds as a reminder of what this whole gaming thing is supposed to be about in the first place: pure, unfiltered fun.

Kentucky POW who survived Bataan march dies at 93
A Lexington World War II veteran who was a prisoner of war and survived the Bataan Death March has died at a veteran's home in Wilmore.
Ted Cook was 93-years-old when he died Thursday at Thomson-Hood Veterans Center. The Lexington Herald Leader reported Cook was a supply sergeant in April 1942 when American and Filipino forces surrendered to Japan and were forced to march to POW camps.
Later he was put on a freighter and taken to work in a Japanese steel mill, where he remained until the war ended.
Patsy Cook, his wife, told the newspaper that her husband's attitude kept him alive amid horrific conditions and she said that he would not allow himself to die.
A funeral was scheduled for Monday at Beaumont Presbyterian Church.

Just for the satisfaction of being a volunteer doctor by Dr. Tooraj Chamacham
I remember it was one of the very first days of my work that one old man who was attending the Chronic Disease Clinic came to me. When I started to examine him, he told me, "Doctor, God bless you, doctor!" I was surprised: "Thanks, but I have done nothing for you yet!" He replied, "I am attending this clinic for more than 20 years and this is the first time a doctor is putting stethoscope on my chest!" Read article

Ever since he became artistic director of the American Ballet Theatre two years ago, Mikhail Baryshnikov has been on a youth kick, highlighting new performers. But of all Misha's moppets no one has made as big a splash as svelte, sexy Susan Jaffe. Just 20, Jaffe this year danced the leads in Swan Lake, Giselle and Carmen with such grace and style that she sent the critics reeling. The New York Times called her "the brightest star on the ballet horizon," the New York Daily News "the new IT girl." Baryshnikov concurs. "Look," he says proudly, "the girl has talent, drive, sex appeal and a mind like a steel trap."
"I feel like two completely different people," says Susan, pondering the new pressures. "One is disciplined and militant in dedication. The other is daring and scatterbrained. One takes life too seriously, the other not seriously enough. Some girls want a penthouse, but I'm most comfortable watching the paint peel off the walls in my little apartment." In fact, her pad on Manhattan's West Side is a typical dancer's garret. "Toe shoes in the bathtub, hot and cold packs under the bed," Jaffe sighs. "It's not easy to feel like Scarlett O'Hara when your toes are swollen and you've got blisters."
Jaffe, who is being groomed as a prima ballerina, almost didn't get into ABT at all. "I was too fat," she admits. "I had to lose 10 pounds—it was like Rocky Ill. I learned to eat frozen raisins one at a time. It would take me half an hour to finish one ounce." Her great leap forward came last spring when she took on Swan Lake and Giselle. "It was like asking Vivien Leigh to shoot Gone With the Wind while performing Lady Macbeth," notes Kevin McKenzie, her partner in both ballets, "but she did it."
A twin—her brother Brian is five minutes younger—Susan was raised in Bethesda, Md., where her father is an engineer and her mother was a science editor. She began dancing classes at the Y at 8. "From that moment on," recalls her dad, "she never walked anywhere—she leaped." At 12, she says, "I had legs up to my ears and big feet," but by 16, she had left home to join ABT's junior troupe. She moved up to the main company in 1980, one month after her mother's death. "Sometimes before a performance," says Susan, "I just think, 'This is for you, Mom.' "
Just before her debut in Swan Lake, she says, "Misha told me that if I did a good performance I could have a sip of his beer." After it, he showed up with suds in hand. "Here," he said. At present there is a 29-year-old actor beau, but there's not much time for romance. "After a performance, when I'm all buzzed, I just turn on Johnny Carson to relax," she says. "He's the only man I feel comfortable with in my Dr. Denton pajamas."
With a Leg Up at 20, Baryshnikov's Susan Jaffe Is a Shoe-in for Ballet Stardom

September 11, 2012 – Into the belly of the beast, New York's Javits Convention Center, from the mean streets of Scottsdale I trekked with great anticipation to see the coolest of the New Cool hawk their wares at the 2012 Finovate Fall show. After notching countless hours this year in basement training rooms watching core vendors show how cool their escrow analysis functionality is, I had a roaring appetite for some tasty Innovation.
I'm glad to report that I saw some gems from the jeans/black jacket/ample hair gel set. Finovate has a completely badass format for showcasing new companies' ideas LIVE – no PowerPoint or pre-recording tolerated. Finovate boasts 64 rapid-fire vendor demos over two days, broken into four digestible, hour-long sessions each day. Finovate uses two alternating stages to minimize the time between presenters to maybe 20 seconds, and each vendor gets seven minutes to present. Seven minutes to present an entire business plan. The impatient, thumb-twiddling jerk in me loved this format.
Before I get to some of the products I particularly liked, I want to mention a couple things about the show that stuck out. First, for some of these companies this is the biggest stage they will ever get – in front of financial press, potential investors, potential clients, snot-nosed consultants, etc. That said, I counted at least six presenters who read their freaking presentations. I don't mean they glanced at the occasional notecard; no, I'm talking full-on reading every single uninspired, monotone word from a triple-spaced script held in their sweaty hands. It boggled my mind to see this, and these presenters inspired many a bathroom break from the attendees. Now, I'm an admitted Toastmasters dropout and have never been confused with Winston Churchill in the Passionate Speaking Department, but damn guys – you're reading a script during your Big Shot?! Seriously, not all business owners are inspired speakers. Hire someone who is to make your pitch.
I noticed a decided lack of attendance from sub-$100 billion financial institutions. This could well be due to a language problem. You have to get your head around some new terminology to keep yourself above water at Finovate. A quick set of new terms I learned:
- Pre-Revenue – The product/company is so new that it has no customers/revenue. It's eloquent and to be expected at a show of this nature, but not exactly a financial pheromone for mid-size banks.
Used in a sentence: "How many installations do you have?" "We are pre-revenue at this juncture."
- Concierge – A concierge is a vendor rep who the consumer must call to facilitate the parts of the vendor's automated services that really aren't automated yet.
Used in a sentence: "Though Deluxe's SwitchAgent product does an apparently nice job of automating the transfer of online bill payee information from your old bank to your new bank, consumers must consult a Deluxe concierge to switch direct deposit and recurring (ACH) bill payments."
Big banks see the potential; mid-size banks see the "Yeah, buts."
- No Integration Necessary – For years, my clients have worried about integrating software. It's the Number 1 technology problem they face. At Finovate, integration is a bad word. If your product needs to be integrated, you are SO 2011.
To broadly categorize, Finovate Fall was about mobile wallets, slick UIs, mobile PFM and aggregation. There were maybe a few too many products that push offers on consumers or obnoxiously if not condescendingly entice consumers to save more money. But overall the show was highly interesting. I was also extremely glad to see some very cool small business ideas emerge at this fairly retail-dominated show. My three Best of Show votes went to, in no particular order:
CommunityLend – Loftily self-described as the "credit card killer," this is a Canadian company actively working to attack the U.S. market. CommunityLend's FinanceIt product allows businesses to offer point-of-sale consumer lending with instant decisioning. With a network of banks to finance the deals and merchants to sell great products, FinanceIt takes care of loan origination, underwriting, funding, payments, servicing and even collections.
Usually with an iPad, a consumer's driver's license is scanned, and that info populates the loan application. FinanceIt underwrites the loan, and then the customer signs docs on the iPad. Signed docs are then emailed to the consumer and the partner bank that won the deal. This is conceptually similar to traditional indirect auto lending, except to a potentially much broader audience with the vendor handling loan servicing. I especially like this idea for hardcore commercial banks that find themselves almost apologetically limping into consumer lending.
A couple other things I love about this idea. First, there are no merchant fees. CommunityLend VP of Business Development Casper Wong told me that they make money in a few different ways, none of which is a fee to the merchant:
- 2 percent (of assets) fee from the banks for loan origination, servicing and collections
- Small up-front fees from borrowers
- Payment insurance
Also, CommunityLend is far from a sub-prime lender prowling on the financially ill-equipped. It boasts an average borrower FICO score of 727. With an uphill task of enrolling merchants/banks and complying with U.S. banking regs, CommunityLend has a unique slant and, with no merchant fees, could definitely make some noise in delivering as the Credit Card Killer.
Bolstr – Bolstr is a start-up with a great idea for crowdsourcing investment in local small businesses by non-accredited investors, with investor payouts structured via revenue sharing over a fixed period of time.
Bolstr helps the small business make its business case to its network of potential investors and keeps a close eye on the complicated regs. Bolstr creates a platform for potential investors to review the business case, ask other investors and the business owner questions, track the business's capital-raising progress, and collect feedback along the way.
Bolstr wants to sell this service to commercial banks. What's the angle? Bolstr co-founder Charlie Tribbett told me banks have a number of reasons for offering this service:
- Bolstr can deal with small loan amounts that may not be attractive or profitable to banks. Rather than leaving potential long-term commercial customers with a bad taste in their mouths, banks can refer business owners to Bolstr and hopefully maintain a healthy relationship.
- Bolstr can help a small business raise the capital required to qualify for a larger commercial loan that the bank can finance.
- Bolstr believes successful small businesses lead to higher property values and, therefore, a better business environment for banks.
For a commercial banking industry that does MUCH more talking than walking when it comes to small business, Bolstr just might become a well travelled bridge between banks and business owners.
Credit Sesame – I am not really a believer in the long-term viability of most personal financial management providers. It is a niche market with about 90 more vendors than the industry can support.
Then Credit Sesame did its thang at Finovate. First of all, Credit Sesame CEO and founder Adrian Nazari gets The Brass Stones Award for recovering from the ridiculously unreliable WiFi connectivity at this venue. Adrian had to start his presentation not once, not twice, but three different times because the WiFi kept dying. He was one of many who fell victim to this wildly distracting problem, but he persevered with class and a sense of humor that would have been difficult for me to conjure under the circumstances. (We are at a financial innovation conference, and the WiFi failed ad nauseum. It was so bad that on Day 2 the CEO of the Javits Center came onstage and apologized!)
Here is what I think Credit Sesame does to separate itself from the PFM pack. First, it has a tool called the Financial Fitness Indicator that tells you where you're spending too much damn money by comparing you to peers. Then, it will tell you what to do about it. I love the pragmatism and SPIN that this product provides. Too many PFM products show cool graphs, charts and blinking lights but offer no perspective. Not Credit Sesame. It has the Spin Factor. I will likely never find myself using a PFM tool, but Credit Sesame has some pretty unique stuff to offer PFM devotees who want to go a step beyond aggregation, bubble budgets and bar graphs.
Sure, my spleen might rupture if I hear "game changer," "disrupter" or "augmented reality" again anytime soon. But I recommend checking out Finovate next time you get a chance.
Finovate is great for seeing what some wildly sharp minds have in store to keep the innovation ball rolling. Some will fail. Some will sell to VISA or Citi, only to have the former owners' entrepreneurial spirit promptly stomped out of them by the behemoths. But I definitely think the industry will distill some great success stories from the optimistic, can-do attitude and boundless energy of the Finovate presenters. Catch you at Finovate Singapore in November?

With the recognition that rickets-like lesions may be found in association with derangements of metabolic processes, various syndromes of late rickets have been delineated, and the mechanisms involved have been subjected to study. In the clinic of the Children's Hospital we have had the opportunity during the past fifteen years to observe a number of children with late rickets and have been struck with the diversity of clinical patterns they have presented. Whereas certain groupings can be made on the basis of the apparent cause of the disorder, each patient has merited individual study because of the manner in which he has reacted to his difficulty. In general, the active rickets has seemed to be less significant in the patient's ultimate welfare than the underlying disturbance in metabolism.
The cases of some of the patients studied in this connection have been reported, and those of some others have been cited

Can you define these popular missing words?
A slimey is when a guy is jerking it in your general direction and he simultaneously cum shots your face and sneezes all over it too.
So ya, I was just watching the Golden Girls last night and here he came with his wanker and next thing I knew I had a slimey on my face.

U.S. Army seeks death penalty in 16 Afghan killings
SEATTLE -- The U.S. Army said Wednesday it will seek the death penalty against the soldier accused of killing 16 Afghan villagers in a predawn rampage in March, a decision his lawyer called "totally irresponsible."
The announcement followed a November pretrial hearing for Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, 39, who faces premeditated murder and other charges in the attack on two villages in southern Afghanistan.
The slayings drew such angry protests that the U.S. temporarily halted combat operations in Afghanistan, and it was three weeks before American investigators could reach the crime scenes.
Prosecutors said Bales left his remote southern Afghanistan base early on March 11, attacked one village and returned to the base, then slipped away again to attack another nearby compound. Of the 16 people killed, nine were children.
No date has been set for Bales' court martial, which will be held at Joint Base Lewis-McChord south of Seattle.
His civilian lawyer, John Henry Browne, said he met with Army officials last week to argue his client shouldn't face the possibility of the death penalty, given that Bales was serving his fourth deployment in a war zone when the killings occurred.
"The Army is not taking responsibility for Sgt. Bales and other soldiers that the Army knowingly sends into combat situations with diagnosed PTSD, concussive head injuries and other injuries," Browne said. "The Army is trying to take the focus off the failure of its decisions, and the failure of the war itself, and making Sgt. Bails out to be a rogue soldier."
Bales' wife, Kari Bales, said Wednesday that she and their children have been enjoying their weekend visits with Bales at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, and she hopes he receives an impartial trial.
"I no longer know if a fair trial for Bob is possible, but it very much is my hope, and I will have faith," she said.
Bales' defense team has said the government's case is incomplete, and outside experts have said a key issue going forward will be to determine if Bales suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder. Bales grew up in the Cincinnati suburb of Norwood, Ohio, and served tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.
During November's preliminary hearing, prosecutors built a strong eyewitness case.

University, middle school students collaborate on meal
Sixth-grader Devon Majczyk's lunch Friday was a different experience. Instead of the school cafeteria, he and about 20 classmates enjoyed a meal prepared by the culinary students from Mercyhurst North East in the college's culinary dining room.
The meal was the culmination of a new project involving the college and students at North East Middle School to create a field-to-plate experiment.
The middle school students grew herbs in Marc Burchanowski's science class, and the culinary students used them in the dishes they served Friday and in previous meals on Monday and Wednesday.
"I think it's really awesome," said Majczyk, whose mother, Jessica Majczyk, graduated from Mercyhurst's culinary program five years ago.
The idea emerged from a brainstorming meeting between the schools.
Chef Dennis Dunne, an instructor of the culinary capstone class, said the collaboration between the two schools is a good idea.
"I've always thought we should," Dunne said. We're adjacent from one another and get a lot of students from North East for the program."
Culinary student Rikki May appreciated the experience.
"Everyone has said they like it and it's not far away for the kids to come eat and hang out. It's fancier than their cafeteria," May said.
The students prepared a menu the middle schoolers could enjoy, and it was also nutritionally balanced by incorporating the herbs grown by the sixth-graders.
Menu items included dill potato rolls made with herb butter, a caprese salad with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil with a herb vinaigrette, lemon herb chicken breast, spaghetti with herb marinara sauce and a fudge brownie cheesecake dessert.

This book is my life's message. I am passionate about getting this word into your heart! Do you have a dream? Do you have something in your heart that you know is your destiny? How do you get there? Do you have the character to hold you when you get there? Will your gifts and calling take you to a place your character will not sustain you? Did you know the promises that God gives you are not His will for your life?
This book answers these questions and many more as we discuss the dream that God places within each believer to fulfill His mission in our lives. However, sometimes God interrupts our dream because he knows we need to grow, learn, and mature. During those times, we can focus on God's glory and our humility. Sion opens his own life to reflect on these themes. Through his years of ministry service, God has taught him about these lessons. God gives His most precious gifts; however, then He leads us to an altar and asks us to lay down everything, including His own fulfillment of the promises He gave to us. Does this sound crazy? It seems counterintuitive, as if it doesn't make sense. When God is the hero of the story, it never ends in death. In fact, it is quite the opposite. God's stories always end in resurrection and life. Just as the cross wasn't the end for our Savior, the death of your dream isn't the end for you. The death of your dream opens the doorway to something better, more real, and more life-giving.
When the five Schwartz children tragically lost both parents in three years, their aunt Shannon Alford learned the true meaning of living worship. With three kids of their own, Shannon and her husband, Sion, became the guardians of all five grieving children, leaving their home bursting at the seams with eight kids between the ages of five and fifteen.
Join the Alford-Schwartz family as they relive their journey of healing and divine provision. Complete with inspirational words from each precious child, 8 Is Enough will touch your heart and remind you that no matter what you are facing, God will make all things work together for your good.

Signs celebrate 50th birthday
It was a return to the past last week on Hollywood Hill when Burma Shave-style signs popped up in the area announcing the 50th birthday of Leona Hokanson. Family and friends of Hokanson placed the five-part signs at regular intervals along the road.
Each segment was part of a rhyme with the last sign reading Burma Shave.
An example of the signage: "She doesn't like coffee
She only drinks tea,
She doesn't like birthdays,
Unless she's 50!
Happy Birthday Leona
Burma Shave"
From the 1920s into the 1960s Burma Shave used sequential boards that dotted the roads to advertise their products.

A friendly resource supporting K–12 school from home.
Search our site
This summer, make a commitment to have your students read every day! Read with your child, read to your child, and have your child read to you. Whether it's done first thing in the morning (the way some adults read the newspaper), midday (for a bit of quiet time), or at the end of the day (to wind down before bed), reading is a wonderful way to keep young minds active and engaged in summer learning.
Be sure to visit the library regularly and check out new books so your kids have plenty of fresh reading material to spark their interest. Make an effort to find out if your library has a Book Club for children to join or a Summer Passport experience where children earn prizes and activities for reading books at their grade level and on approved topics. If you find a reading-related program, sign up!
For your convenience, many libraries also offer e-books and audio books available for download to an e-reader, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer from the comfort of home.
And although it may be tempting to, don't exclude high school kids from the reading requirement! Even if their schedules are filled with summer jobs and other activities, teenagers' brains can still get sluggish without a daily mental "workout." Why not suggest a family book club? Have the teens and adults in the family read the same book and set a date for getting together to talk about it over pizza. (Let the kids choose which book you'll read from a list you've prescreened for being entertaining, appropriate, and discussion-worthy.) You may be surprised to discover that discussing a good book can build bridges that span a generation gap!
For fantastic reading suggestions for every reading level, check out the links below. These summer reading lists have been compiled by teachers, librarians, and curriculum specialists, and they include fiction, folklore, history, poetry, biographies, drama, and so much more. You're sure to find something to interest students of all ages!
If you have fun or creative ideas for promoting summer reading, please share them with our online community by posting below!

Thank you for posting these lists. It helps when we go to the library.

We love having a family book. Gives us all something to talk about. When they were little, I would read aloud to all even when they could read. We listened to the Hobbit and the Count of Monte Cristo on a road trip. My boys really wanted to read The Hunger Games recently. So we decided to tackle it as a family. We each got a paperback and read. Some I read with the youngest (11) and discussed as we went. It was a good one to do as a family. Love having a family book in common. my kids are 17-11 and you can always find something to appeal to everyone even Dad!

I like to have chapter books
19 Jun
We have two girls, a nine year old who enjoys reading and a six year old who enjoys doing the opposite of her sister. In an effort to get the six year old to participate in the reading challenge I thought I would try pairing a book with the movie made about it to see if that sparks the little ones interest. I've ordered books and movies from the library for "Charlottes' Web" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".

Healthy Edinboro gets another shot at Gannon
While Gannon was running away from Edinboro in an 86-63 victory at McComb Fieldhouse four weeks ago, the Scots' were hurting
Edinboro's all-PSAC center, Bryan Theriot, was having his injured right knee examined, and point guard Jay Fletcher was prone on the floor in extreme pain after taking a knee in the back.
"We don't take much stock in the way we won because who knows what would have happened had those two not been hurt,'' Gannon coach John Reilly said Tuesday as his club prepared for tonight's visit by Edinboro to the Hammermill Center.
Plenty has happened, and on the plus side, for both teams since that Jan. 16 game when Gannon sophomore guard Adam Blazek returned to the lineup after missing nine games with a broken right hand.
The Knights (19-4, 13-4) have gone 6-1 and are still on a high after winning at No. 6 Indiana 57-55 Feb. 6 to break an eight-game losing streak to the Crimson Hawks, and at California 56-53 Saturday for their first win there since joining the PSAC in 2008-09. They also entered the national rankings this week at No. 17, the first time since they finished fifth in the 2008-09 Elite Eight season.
The Scots (14-7, 10-7), led by the senior guard tandem of Fletcher and Isaiah Prince, went 4-1 without Theriot and 1-1 since the 6-foot 9-inch leading scorer and rebounder came back in a 73-72 loss to Cal last Wednesday. The loss without Theriot was in overtime to IUP.
"We're glad that he's back, but Bryan is certainly not where he left off,'' said Edinboro coach Greg Walcavich. "When you injure a leg, there's only so much you can do to stay in basketball shape. It's not like hurting an arm or hand, when you can still run to keep in shape.''
Blazek, a left-hander, had a soft cast on his right hand and forearm, but made an immediate impact in the win at McComb and has shown the form that made him PSAC West freshman of the year in 2011-12.
"It's nearly 100 percent, though not as strong as before,'' Blazek said. "I'm still trying to find my shot, and help my teammates any way I can.''
Reilly said that Blazek boosts the intangible level for the Knights, who have clinched a playoff berth for the first time since the 2009-10 season.
"Adam can make three or four defensive plays in a game that others can't do and are hard to describe, and just makes our team that much better,'' Reilly said.
Blazek admitted that his team is still thrilled about winning the two big road games, but it's back to business against the Scots, who rallied to win at the Hammermill last season.
"We hope to bring the momentum back to the Hammermill against a big rival and a very good team,'' Blazek said.
Edinboro had cut Gannon's double-figure lead to a point and trailed 45-42 when Theriot's right knee -- he already wore a brace on his left knee for a minor injury earlier in the season at Millersville -- just gave way without contact. GU's burly reserve forward Algeron Torrence was unstoppable and had 24 points in 18 minutes in the romp that ended with only six healthy players in Edinboro uniforms.
"They spanked us in that game, and right now Gannon is playing better than anybody in the West, which is loaded,'' Walcavich said.
Theriot, who missed the past 11 games of the 2011-12 season with a broken wrist, said that the knee hurt more because it came against Gannon.
"Not being out there against a rival like Gannon made it tougher to watch, and though it was my fault because I took a bad turn, it gave me motivation to get back and play them again,'' he said. "Thank God that I was able to have it worked on and wouldn't miss the rest of the season, and will play in front of a large crowd. The biggest adjustment is that it will take a little time to get used to playing with me again, but we're a close team and will work as hard as we can to do it.''
With solid junior forward Alex Moore coming back from a knee injury he suffered in a workout during the holidays, the Scots have a full contingent of 10 players.
"I can say that for the first time in four years, we have the same players practicing in February who were practicing in October,'' Walcavich said.
"They're excellent, and we know what they can do,'' Reilly said about the top scoring team in the PSAC. "We still have to make the defensive stops, and make some shots if we're going to beat them.''

5 Celebrity Chefs' Best Tasting Bargain Food
|Email Print
Food Network has spawned a boon of celebrity chefs as has PBS. While many of them can make tasty food, often their recipes are full of expensive ingredients. (I am thinking of my favorite chef, Ina Garten, who makes delicious meals such as lobster pot pies. I would love to eat at her house, but I can't afford to make many of her meals at home.) However, if you search carefully, you will find a few celebrity chefs who not only offer tasty food, but inexpensive food.
Here are a few of my favorite chefs who prepare affordable food:
Jamie Oliver
A U.K. chef, Oliver made a splash over here with his Food Revolution where he went to schools in Huntington, West Virginia and Los Angeles, California and tried to revamp their lunch program to include healthy, filling foods. Oliver's cookbooks offer affordable food because he focuses on fresh vegetables. Even better, he knows that families are short on time and offers quick cooking recipes. In his cookbook, Meals in Minutes, he gives step-by-step instructions to make the main meal as well as the sides and dessert at the same time, so you can serve food faster. An example of an affordable meal in this book is Tray-Baked Chicken, Squashed Potatoes, Creamed Spinach and Strawberry Slushie.
Robin Miller
Another chef who makes affordable meals that are quick to assemble is Robin Miller. Even better, if you have small children, her recipes are appealing to even fussy eaters.
Miller's premise is that you can prep several meals on the weekend, and then all you have to do is cook them on busy weeknights. A recipe like Tropical Fruit-Glazed Ham with Sweet Onions and Yukon Gold Potatoes has only 8 ingredients and relies on basic ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. Another technique she uses to save money and time is to buy one main ingredient such as salmon, and turn the leftover salmon into other meals like Asian Salmon Cakes and Salmon Chowder with Yukon Gold Potatoes.
Alton Brown
The quirky chef at Good Eats likes to explain the science behind foods. However, he also has a knack for creating homey, good tasting, inexpensive food. Sure, some of his recipes can be a bit more expensive, but he offers plenty of ways to prepare the likes of beans and cabbage. He also gives you ways to make your own condiments and seasonings such as homemade mayonnaise and salsa.
Erin Chase
She may not be a Food Network or PBS chef, but Erin Chase runs a very popular blog, $5 Dinners, that has lead her to create three cookbooks: $5 Dinners, $5 Breakfast and Lunch Cookbook and the soon to be released One Dish Dinners. In each of her cookbooks, she has the price of each individual item that goes into the recipe. If your budget is very tight, you could simply choose the recipes with the lowest cost such as Egg in a Nest with Avocado Circle Sandwiches for $3.18 for a family of 4. That total is not per person, but for the entire dish!
In addition to the recipes, Chase details how to save at the grocery store and offers frugal tips on most recipes, such as making your own refried beans to save money instead of buying canned. If you do buy canned, she offers a target price (.75 or less) that you should pay.
Clara Cannucciari
Last but not least, let's not forget my favorite YouTube celebrity chef, Clara Cannucciari. This 97 year old grandma and greatgrandma shares her favorite frugal recipes from the Great Depression. We recently tried her eggplant sandwich recipe and loved them. You can't get more frugal than that!
Other affordable chefs you may want to consider include Melissa D'Arabia, Anne Burrell and Ted Allen (the host of Chopped who has a book, 100 Smart, Simple Recipes).

It's not a case of the Wii getting boring.. it's just a case of there being a lack of decent games for the wii right now, which is why they are bored of playing on their Wii.
How can the console itself become boring?
Being a fan of Nintendo has nothing to do with the lack of solid titles available for the wii right now.
As for this "latest trend" business.. that's exactly what Nintendo wanted.. to bring non gamers into the gaming scene.

Other Butterflyfishs»
Aquarium requirements: Pennant bannerfish can grow to 8 inches. Given their somewhat delicate build, larger tanks are
preferable to smaller ones, and adults should have a system of several hundreds of gallons. Juveniles can be smaller than 2 inches
total length but will quickly grow to a "medium" size of 3 to 4 inches. Keep medium-sized specimens in 90 gallons and up.
Bannerfish in confined spaces will usually tear their dorsal fins, risking infection. Thus, more space is always better with this
Heniochus butterflyfish are best-suited to a fish-only system, and they can tolerate water quality associated with slightly more
dense fish populations. Stable tropical temperatures between 74 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit are required. Specific gravity should be
kept around 1.020 to 1.024, with good water circulation to boost daytime pH above 8.0. Provide adequate biological filtration to
keep ammonia and nitrite at undetectable levels, and perform regular water changes to keep nitrate below 25 parts per million.
Ultraviolet sterilization will aid in water clarity and prevent parasite transmission.
Compatibility: This species is not aggressive, though it may be territorial with other members of the species. Many
hobbyists are tempted to display this fish in schools, but this requires space and is outside the range of most home tanks. To be
safe, keep only one per tank. One important element for keeping H. acuminatus is selecting tankmates that won't nip at its
trailing fins. This rules out chronic fin-nippers, such as many triggerfishes, damselfishes and some angelfishes. Good tankmates
are typically peaceful species, such as wrasses, dwarf angels and chromis. Heniochus acuminatus is not considered reef-
safe, and it should not be placed into a community with sessile invertebrates. It is, however, typically safe with crabs, shrimp
and snails.
Feeding: While nutrition is usually the biggest hurdle in keeping most butterflyfishes, bannerfish are generally more
responsive to aquarium fare. Feed them Mysis shrimp and other meat and plankton foods, as this makes up the majority of their wild
diet. Soak frozen foods in vitamins to help prevent head and lateral line erosion (HLLE). Heniochus acuminatus accepts
plant-based foods, such as dry seaweed flakes (nori), and well-acclimated specimens will often accept dry foods, such as flakes or
soft pellets.
Notes: While H. acuminatus is not considered reef-safe, its close cousin H. diphreutes is more likely to behave in a system
with corals. It is difficult to identify a fish individually, however, and unless they are side-by-side, it is easy to mix them up.
I recommend avoiding this genus altogether if corals are a priority in the system. These two species are not the only attractive
fish in the genus, and there are many species in the trade that are suitable for fish-only tanks. Examples include H.
monoceros, H. chrysostomus and H. intermedius. FAMA.

The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom has dismissed the case of Christian owners of a bed and breakfast who refused to accommodate a gay couple.
Peter and Hazlemary Bull were sued and ordered to pay damages for refusing to house a male couple at their establishment, Chymorvah House.
The Bulls appealed to the UK Supreme Court asking for a reasonable accommodation of their religious beliefs.
The couple says their policy is based on their Christian belief that marriage is a union of a man and a woman.
The UK Supreme Court dismissed the case, saying the policy amounted to sexual orientation discrimination.
The ruling is the first of its kind to be handed down by the UK Supreme Court.
