What is Braintree?
Braintree is a full-stack payments platform that makes it easy to accept payments in your app or website. Our service replaces the traditional model of sourcing a payment gateway and merchant account from different providers. From single-touch payments to mobile SDKs and foreign currency acceptance, we provide everything you need to start accepting payments today.
Who can use Braintree?
All kinds of organizations use Braintree to accept payments in mobile apps and websites. From startups in garages, to not-for-profits, to some of the largest online retailers, we have more experience working with new business models than any other payments provider. However, due to legal and regulatory compliance reasons, we are unable to work with some business types. More information is available in our Acceptable Use Policy.
Where in the world is Braintree available?
Braintree is available for merchants in the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. In legal terms, you have to be domiciled in a supported country to use Braintree, but no matter where on the planet your buyers are, we've got you covered. From multi-currency presentment to settlement to everything in between, we can help you grow and eventually go global if that's the right path for you.
What kinds of payments can I accept with Braintree?
Merchants in the US can use Braintree to accept PayPal, Apple Pay, Android Pay, Venmo, Bitcoin, and most credit and debit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, and Diner's Club.
How long will it take to get a Braintree account?
Some merchants can start using Braintree immediately after filling out our signup form; in other cases, we'll need to gather some additional information before you can start processing. If that happens, we will be in touch within one business day.
How soon will I get my money after the transaction is processed?
For US merchants, Visa, Mastercard, and Discover transactions are usually deposited into your bank account in 2-3 business days. American Express transactions are typically deposited in 3-5 days or less.
Do you offer data portability?
Yes. Your data belongs to you. We're confident you'll love the service you get from Braintree, but if you ever need to leave, you can easily take all of your customer data with you. Braintree pioneered data portability and we work to earn your business every day.
Can Braintree help protect against fraud?
Yes. Braintree includes sophisticated fraud protection for merchants of every size, at no additional cost.
What are your support hours?
Our support covers an extended business day for US and Canadian merchants:
Email: 5am to 12am US Central Time, Monday through Thursday5am to 8pm US Central Time, FridayPhone: 8am to 7pm US Central Time, Monday through Thursday8am to 5pm US Central Time, FridayOf course, we offer emergency support via email 24x7x365, and have support reps and engineers on-call at all times.
What is the drop-in integration?
You can integrate with Braintree through one of two methods: via our Drop-in or Custom UI. Our Drop-in integration is quick and easy: add a full-featured checkout to your app or site with only a few lines of code, and turn on PayPal support via the Braintree Control Panel. Custom integration is flexible: build your own checkout page and accept PayPal with a few extra lines of code.
What if I want to customize my checkout to match the look and feel of my app or site?
With our Custom integration, you can use your own payment form for credit card acceptance. And with Hosted Fields, you can still leave the burden of PCI compliance to us.
Once I integrate the snippet of code into my app or site, can I start accepting payments?
To accept payments, you'll need to sign up for a production Braintree account.
I'm an existing Braintree merchant with an older integration; How do I upgrade and take advantage of the most up-to-date features?
The Upgrade Guide explains how.
What if I want to only accept PayPal?
PayPal offers an Express Checkout integration via our latest SDK that allows you to display just a PayPal button on your site or in your app.
Will I need to do continued maintenance?
Occasionally you might need to upgrade your integration to take advantage of new features we release. Our goal is to minimize this effort and make the maintenance as easy as possible. If you're interested, you can join our SDK-announce google group to stay updated.
How long does it take to integrate with Braintree?
An experienced developer can complete a basic integration with Braintree in less than half an hour. Of course, integration times can vary significantly depending on the project's complexity and the developer's experience level.
What languages do you support?
On the client side, we have a JavaScript library for mobile and desktop web, plus mobile SDKs for iOS and Android. On the server side, we have libraries in six languages: Ruby, Python, PHP, Java, Microsoft .Net, and Node.js. Our developer docs can steer you in the right direction.
Can I use Braintree with my shopping cart, billing, or ecommerce platform?
Yes, Braintree works with most of the leading e-commerce and billing platforms, including Bigcommerce, Shopify, Magento and Wufoo. See the list on our third-party integrations page.
How much does it cost to use Braintree?
After your first $50K in transactions, our standard price of 2.9% + $.30 per card or digital wallet transaction includes all of our great features, and unlimited access to our support team. There are no monthly fees, and you only pay for what you use -- there's no minimum transaction processing amount. Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover are all included at the same rate.
What are my pricing options in Europe?
All European merchants have the opportunity to select Interchange plus (IC+) pricing or blended rate pricing. This is consistent with EU regulations around Merchant Interchange Fees (MIF).
Blended rate pricing offers fixed rates, which makes it easier to accurately forecast your payment processing costs. The blended model consists of an ad valorem and per-transaction fee. Depending on your account setup, you may have different rates for debit cards and credit cards.
Interchange plus pricing (IC+) consists of an ad valorem, per-transaction fee, interchange fees, and scheme fees. Because interchange fees are variable and are not determined by Braintree, it can be harder to predict the exact amount you'll be charged. Similar to interchange fees, scheme fees are variable and are not determined by Braintree. The specific fees that are applied to each transaction depend primarily on card type, but include a number of other factors such as the type of merchant, cost of sale, processing technology, region, and more.
If you have questions about which pricing model applies to your account or are interested in learning more about either pricing model, contact our Accounts team.
I'm stuck with my current merchant account - can I still use Braintree as a payment gateway?
Yes. Most of our clients choose the simplicity of our full-stack payments offering, however, our payment gateway is compatible with most US merchant accounts for $49 per month and $.10 per transaction, and $10 for each additional merchant account.
Are there any additional fees I could be charged?
The only fee you might see is if you incur any chargebacks (i.e. a customer disputes a charge). In that case you will be charged $15 for each chargeback incident.
What if I have to issue a refund?
If you issue a full refund, Braintree will return the fees from the original transaction. We do not return fees on partial refunds, but there is no additional cost to issue a partial refund.
Is volume pricing available?
Are you a large enterprise business processing more than $80K per month? See what we have to offer your big business, Give us a call at 877.511.5036 or drop us an email at email@example.com to start the discussion.
Can you tell me more about the 'Make $50K. Keep $50K' pricing deal?
Sure. When you integrate directly with Braintree, we'll cover the fees on your first $50K of sales. That means no transaction fees, no interchange costs, and no catch. After your business crosses the $50K threshold, our standard 2.9% + $.30 per transaction rate applies. But for your first $50K, you won't be charged a cent (though chargebacks will still incur a $15 fee). This offer is not available for merchants taking advantage of our discounted rate for eligible nonprofits, or merchants who integrated via a Braintree partner.
Is there an expiration date for using the $50K?
No. The free pricing will apply until your business processes more than $50K in total sales volume.
What rate will be charged after my business crosses $50K in processing?
Your pricing will automatically switch to 2.9% + $.30 per transaction once you have crossed $50K in gross transaction volume.
Does this apply to businesses outside the US and EU?
No. For now, this offer is available only to US and EU-based businesses. But someday soon we hope to offer a program for businesses located elsewhere.
Do I have to be PCI compliant?
Yes. Anyone who accepts credit card payments needs to comply with latest PCI DSS rules. Any payments company that tells you otherwise isn't telling you the whole story. Fortunately, Braintree makes it so much easier for our merchants to be PCI compliant. Which is good news, because the card associations can suspend your ability to accept credit card payments if they find that you aren't compliant.
What do I need to do to become PCI compliant?
The simplest way for merchants to become compliant is through the use of our Drop-in UI or, for a more customizable experience, our Custom UI with Hosted Fields. It only takes a couple of steps. First, integrate with Braintree using one of our web or mobile SDKs and store your customers' payment information in the vault. Second, fill out our Qualified Security Assessor's (QSA) online questionnaire at no charge.
What are the charges for PCI compliance?
Nada. When you have a merchant account with us, we provide free PCI compliance validation through our partner, Security Metrics.
Can I accept debit cards without the Visa or Mastercard logo?
In some markets you can accept cards that carry the Maestro logo, but otherwise, you can only accept cards that also have a Visa or Mastercard logo.
Can I accept prepaid debit or gift cards?
Yes, we can process any prepaid card that has one of the major card brand logos (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, Diners).
Can I accept EMV (i.e. chip and pin) cards?
Yes, EMV cards can be used online just like normal credit cards.
Do you support level II and III processing?
We support level II processing on some processors, but do not currently support level III.
Do you support 3D Secure?
Yes, you can read more about it here.
Can I initiate payouts to debit or credit cards?
We currently do not support payouts to debit or credit cards, only refunds with a corresponding transaction.
Do you support healthcare cards that have the Visa or Mastercard logo?
Yes, but only if your merchant account has the appropriate MCC (Merchant category code) for a healthcare provider.
Can I see BIN (bank identification number) information for the cards I process with Braintree?
Yes, every card processed with Braintree will also have BIN information available. Find out how to access this information here.
Am I able to see AVS (address verification system) and CVV (card verification value) information when processing cards with Braintree?
Yes, we return all AVS and CVV responses from card-issuing banks within the authorization and verification responses. You can also build free, custom rules to block transactions when the customer enters information that doesn't match the issuing bank's records. You can learn more about how these rules work here. Note, we only support this feature for cards issued in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.
Do I need a PayPal account to accept PayPal payments through Braintree?
Yes you will need a PayPal Business Account to begin accepting payments. You'll then link that account to Braintree via the Braintree Control Panel.
What does it cost to run PayPal transactions through Braintree?
Your rates are predetermined by PayPal, but generally 2.9% + $.30 per transaction; you can contact PayPal directly or visit their pricing page for more details.
Will my customers need to leave my site to sign onto PayPal?
With PayPal One Touch™, your mobile customers will sign in through a seamless app or browser switch, and your web customers will sign in right from your checkout page.
Can I set up PayPal for recurring payments?
Yes, and here's how.
Can I store PayPal accounts in the vault like I do with credit cards?
Yes, by using the vault flow you can store the PayPal account in the Braintree Vault and use it for one-off or recurring payments.
Can you void or refund a PayPal transaction through Braintree?
Yes. All actions are available through the API or via the Control Panel just as they are for credit cards.
How are disputes for PayPal transactions managed?
Disputed PayPal transactions are managed within PayPal's Resolution Center, which can be found in your PayPal Console.
What is PayPal One Touch?
PayPal One Touch is our fastest way for your customers to check out on mobile and web. They will be required to log in only once; after that, they can instantly complete future purchases across apps with a single press of the PayPal button. They don't even need to have the PayPal app installed.
Who can use PayPal One Touch?
Any customer with a PayPal account can pay via PayPal One Touch.
How do I add PayPal One Touch to my app?
PayPal One Touch is included in our latest SDKs. See our Developer Docs for more information on how to configure PayPal One Touch.
How does Apple Pay work?
Apple Pay encrypts any credit/debit cards added to an Apple Wallet on supported Apple devices. Apple Pay assigns a device-specific tokenized credit card number called a DPAN that Braintree will use to process transactions.
Which currencies does Apple Pay support?
Any currencies that you can process on your Apple Pay-supported processor(s).
What are the fees on Apple Pay transactions?
There will be no additional standard fees beyond the standard 2.9% + $.30 per transaction. Volume pricing is also available.
Which card types are supported?
Visa, Mastercard, and American Express are supported in the US, UK, Hong Kong, France, Switzerland, and Singapore, but Apple Pay in CA and AU is currently exclusive to American Express.
Who is the merchant of record?
As the seller, you will be the merchant of record for the purchase.
How will I identify Apple Pay payments in the Control Panel?
Apple Pay cards will appear as a new payment instrument with its own associated logo.
How are disputes handled?
The payment instruments behind Apple Pay are credit or debit cards, and so chargebacks will look and behave the same as any other credit card chargeback on your account.
Is recurring billing supported?
Yes, Apple Pay cards can be used to process recurring transactions.
Is vaulting supported?
Apple Pay cards can be vaulted, but we recommend vaulting only for split shipment and recurring transactions, as Apple Pay cryptograms cannot be reused.
How does fraud checking (AVS/CVV) work with Apple Pay?
Since Apple uses a tokenization system to encrypt card information and reduce the risk of fraud, CVV and AVS are not necessary for use with Apple Pay.
How does Android Pay work?
Credit and debit cards that are added to the Android Pay app on supported Android devices are assigned a device-specific tokenized card number called a DPAN that Braintree will then use to process transactions.
Which currencies does Android Pay support?
Any currencies that you can process on your Android Pay-supported processor(s).
What accounts do I need to have?
In order to process with Android Pay, merchants need to have an integration with Braintree, a Braintree-provided US merchant account, and have an approved Play Store app.
What are the fees on Android Pay transactions?
There will be no additional standard fees beyond the standard 2.9% + $.30 per transaction. Volume pricing is also available.
Which card types are supported?
Visa, Mastercard, and American Express from most major issuing banks in US, UK, and Australia are supported.
Who is the merchant of record?
Even though the transaction is facilitated by Google, the merchant is the seller of record for the purchase.
How will I identify Android Pay payments in the Control Panel?
Android Pay cards will appear as a new payment instrument type with its own logo.
How are disputes handled?
The payment instruments behind Android Pay are credit and debit cards, and so chargebacks will look and behave the same as any other credit card chargeback on your account.
Is recurring billing supported?
Yes, Android Pay cards can be used to process recurring transactions.
Is vaulting supported?
Android Pay cards can be vaulted, but we recommend vaulting only for split shipment and recurring transactions, as Android Pay cryptograms cannot be reused.
How does fraud checking (AVS/CVV) work with Android Pay?
Since Google uses a tokenization system to encrypt card information and reduce the risk of fraud, CVV and AVS are not necessary for use with Android Pay.
What are the benefits of accepting Bitcoin via Coinbase?
Reach: By adding Coinbase into your application, you gain access to over 2 million consumer Bitcoin wallets. Ease of integration: We make it very convenient for you to quickly integrate Bitcoin acceptance into your application while tying in with your existing Braintree payment processing and reporting.
What platforms does Braintree support for Coinbase?
You'll be able to integrate Coinbase for websites, iOS, and Android using our SDKs.
Am I able to accept Bitcoin in my corner of the world?
Our Coinbase integration is currently only available in the United States through a US merchant account.
How much does it cost to accept Bitcoin through Coinbase?
Your first $1,000,000 in Coinbase processing is free. After that, the standard Coinbase fee is 1% to exchange Bitcoin into regular currency such as USD or EUR. Braintree does not charge fees for processing transactions that come through Coinbase. Please be aware that Coinbase passes along a $0.15 fee for each batch disbursement to your bank account. This $0.15 fee may also be imposed in certain refund scenarios detailed below.
What will the checkout process look like for consumers?
When it's time for a consumer to check out with Coinbase for the first time, an option to pay with Bitcoin will be displayed alongside your existing payment methods. If the consumer chooses Bitcoin/Coinbase, they will be connected to Coinbase using a pop-up which requires them to sign in with their Coinbase wallet credentials (similar to PayPal). After successfully authenticating, they will be redirected to your site and shown the amount in the transaction currency alongside their Coinbase wallet ID. Once the user successfully submits the transaction, the Bitcoin will be transferred from their wallet to yours. When the consumer returns to your site for future transactions, they won't be required to log in as we will have vaulted their Coinbase credentials -- similar to if they had saved a credit card or PayPal account with us.
How can I accept Bitcoin payments safely if the price might be volatile?
By enabling instant exchange through Coinbase, you can mitigate the risk of Bitcoin volatility. Instead of receiving and keeping Bitcoin payments in your Coinbase account, they can be instantly exchanged to your local currency in the amount of the original transaction, less Coinbase fees.
I have multiple Braintree merchant accounts for multi-currency. How does that work?
As a merchant, you can initiate transactions in any currency that Braintree and Coinbase both support. Coinbase handles converting the transaction currency amount into BTC and transferring that amount of BTC into your wallet. However, you will only be paid in the home currency of your Coinbase account.
We capture funds separately from our initial authorization. How does this flow work with Coinbase, and is there a timeline under which an authorization expires?
The auth/capture flow is similar to how it works with PayPal and other wallets we support. Authorizations are currently set to expire after 7 days. When a transaction is initiated via Braintree, a hold is placed on the customer's and merchant's accounts. When the transaction is submitted for settlement, it is immediately transferred.
How do refunds work?
Refunds work similar to how they work with credit cards through the Braintree API or Control Panel. You can refund up to the original amount of the original transaction, and the refund will be made in the original currency, regardless of how the price of Bitcoin has moved.
What if the price of Bitcoin fluctuates between the purchase date and the refund date?
No matter how the refund is funded, the customer will be getting a different amount of Bitcoin depending on the prevailing exchange rate, while you, as the merchant, are unaffected by fluctuations in the rate.
Where do the funds come from for each refund?
Funding a refund can occur in a few different ways: a. If you have enough Bitcoin in your wallet to cover the full amount, the refund will deducted from there and occur immediately. b. If you do not have enough funds in your wallet to cover the refund amount, Coinbase will attempt to deduct the refund amount from your next pending disbursement. c. If you do not have enough Bitcoin in your wallet or your next pending disbursement to cover the full refund amount, Coinbase will purchase Bitcoin to cover any outstanding amount on your behalf. In most cases, this will also result in an additional ACH fee.
What is the process for disputes?
Immediate confirmation and instant settlement work to make chargebacks a non-issue.
How will I receive funds?
As part of the setup process, you will need to link your bank account information to your Coinbase wallet. Funds will be transferred via ACH directly from Coinbase. Generally, Coinbase passes along their ACH fee for each batch disbursement to your bank account.
What sort of fraud protection is available for Coinbase transactions?
Braintree's fraud tools (including advanced fraud protection through Kount) do not currently apply to Coinbase transactions. Fraud protection will be managed by Coinbase. For more information on their fraud protection, you should contact Coinbase directly.
What is Braintree Marketplace?
Braintree Marketplace is the part of the Braintree payments platform that enables you to split payments from customers between your marketplace and your sellers or providers.
Who can use Braintree Marketplace?
Marketplace-style companies based in the US, who are splitting payments with US sellers or providers. Marketplaces are platforms that bring buyers and sellers together. Sometimes they are described as collaborative consumption or sharing economy businesses. Some well-known examples include TaskRabbit, and RunSignUp. If you're unsure if your business is a good fit for Braintree Marketplace, contact our sales team.
How much does Braintree Marketplace cost?
It's free for Braintree merchants. You'll pay the standard rate of 2.9% + $.30 when the customer makes their purchase, but we don't charge for distributing the funds to you and your sellers.
Can Braintree help with tax forms?
Absolutely. Braintree will generate 1099-K tax forms, as required by the IRS. You'll need to distribute these to your sellers and providers after the end of the year.
Can Braintree help me escrow funds?
Braintree does not escrow funds. However, you may configure Braintree Marketplace to hold the payment with our banking partner until you decide to disburse the funds to your providers. At disbursement you will receive your fees and your provider will receive their portion of the payment. If you don't need to hold the payment, you can configure the funds to disburse as soon as they are available.
What are the advantages of using Venmo to pay sellers?
With Venmo, all you need to pay out to your sellers and providers is their email address or mobile phone number (you don't even need a Venmo account). There is no need for you to collect and verify the user's bank account numbers when they sign up for your marketplace - those intricate details are handled by Venmo. Plus, your sellers can get their funds in their Venmo account one business day after the transaction settles (it usually takes two or more business days to pay out directly to a bank account). Your sellers can send funds from their Venmo account to their bank account using these simple instructions.
Who is responsible for the relationship with the customer?
You maintain the relationships with the customers of your marketplace, and Braintree will be there to support you. That means that you will work directly with your customers to provide refunds and handle any chargebacks or disputed charges. You'll also be responsible for knowing who your sellers are, and ensuring that they deliver products/services that don't break any laws. Braintree will back you up with all of the reports and information you need to support your customers.
What information do I need to collect from my sellers and providers?
We only need a few pieces of information about the seller, so we can verify their identity: name, address, email, and date of birth. You may already be collecting most of this information from your sellers. Additionally, unless you are using Venmo to pay your sellers, you will need to collect bank account details if they are going to sell enough to need a 1099-K tax form.
Do my sellers or providers need to accept an agreement with Braintree?
Yes, your sellers need to accept our merchant agreement. However, we make it easy by providing a short passage that you can just add to your marketplace's Terms of Service, which your sellers accept. Just add this language to your Terms of Service and replace [MSP] with your marketplace's name.
Can I use Braintree for recurring or subscription billing?
Yes, Braintree offers recurring billing tools that take the pain out of billing for SaaS, media subscriptions, recurring donations, and other cyclical billing. You can store your customers' payment information in the Braintree Vault, and we'll automatically handle it each billing cycle.
What happens if a recurring transaction fails?
You can customize your retry logic and Braintree will use those settings to automatically retry past-due subscriptions. You can also create custom emails to automatically notify customers of failed transactions and past-due charges. These features are sometimes referred to as "dunning" management.
Can I create coupons or promotional periods in my pricing plans?
Yes, you'll have the flexibility to create pricing plans that work for your business. You can use Discounts and Add-ons to create promotional periods or rewards for your best customers, set custom beginning and ending dates for your plans, and customize exactly when and for how long you want the billing cycle to last.
What happens if a customer switches plans mid-cycle?
Your customers can change their subscription service in the middle of a billing cycle, and Braintree will automatically prorate the charges. However, the billing cycles need to be the same (e.g. monthly to monthly or annual to annual).
Can Braintree push notifications to my server when there is a change in subscription status?
Yes. You can always configure webhooks to provide you with instant awareness of the current state of a subscription, and to notify you when significant events occur, such as subscription renewals.
Is Braintree available in my country?
Braintree is available for merchants in the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. In legal terms, you have to be domiciled in a supported country. We are working hard to bring Braintree to other countries. If you would like to be notified when Braintree is available in your country, join the mailing list.
What does it mean to be "domiciled" in the United States, Europe, Australia, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, or New Zealand?
Your business must operate out of a US, Canadian, Australian, European, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysian, or New Zealand-based office. You must also have a bank account with a US, European, Australian, Canadian, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysian, or New Zealand-chartered bank. The location of your customers has no effect on where you are domiciled.
What currencies can I accept?
Merchants can accept payments in over 130 currencies. Braintree will convert and deposit funds in USD for a 1% fee. Contact us for the most up-to-date list of foreign currencies and for more information about presenting transactions in multiple currencies.
What currencies can I settle in?
By default funds will be deposited into your US bank account in USD. Contact us for more details regarding settlement currencies.
Does Braintree charge foreign exchange or cross-border fees?
Braintree does not charge any foreign exchange or cross-border fees.

Review for A Rosie Place / O'Hana Heritage Foundation, Inc., South Bend, IN, USA
My 2 daughters who are medically fragile and physically handicapped have been able to spend a night in this lovely home with trained nurses and caring staff. It is a safe environment and a place where they can go to have fun. They require constant care and it is difficult to spend more than a few hours away from them. The O'hana Heritage Foundation's "A Rosie Place" is one place that the girls can go and we can a little freedom to enjoy a night out or relax a bit. They have a very dedicated staff and have put in much time and effort to do something new for families with medically fragile kids.

To hear Donald Trump tell it for the last year, Senate Republicans were weak, dumb losers, and not just the ones he ran against for president. He infamously called Sen. John McCain "not a war hero" and tweeted that Sen. Jeff Flake was "a very weak and ineffective senator … Sad!" He lambasted Sen. Mark Kirk as "dishonest" and a "loser," and told an Atlanta rally that he wished Republican leaders in Washington would "just please be quiet" so he could win the race by himself.
He tagged Sen. Lindsey Graham "a disgrace" and "one of the dumbest human beings I have ever seen." Sen. "Little Marco" Rubio was "just another Washington, D.C., politician" with "the biggest ears I've ever seen." Sen. Rand Paul was "truly weird" and Sen. "Lyin'" Ted Cruz was not only dishonest, but by Trump's suggestion, his father was involved in the Kennedy assassination.
So imagine the irony if those useless slobs in the upper chamber, 22 of whom will share the ballot with Trump in November, actually help him win the White House on Election Day. That emerging possibility is a reversal from the assumption leading up to this point in the cycle, which said that Trump's coattails would determine the fates of Senate Republicans, and not the other way around. If Trump did well, the thinking went, they would do well. If he tanked, he would take them down with him like passengers on the Titanic.
But as Trump's poll numbers tumbled through the summer, the Republicans running for re-election worked to build their own brands, with their own paths to victory, independent of their erratic nominee. The result is now a class of Republican Senate candidates who are nearly all more popular than Trump, with many who have built robust campaign operations of their own, above and beyond Trump's scattershot approach to Election Day.
[The Down-Ballot Shuffle, a Ticket-Splitting Revival]
An analysis last week by The Washington Post showed Senate Republican candidates overperforming Trump by an average of 4 points in competitive states. Only Sen. Ron Johnson in Wisconsin and Rep. Todd Young in Indiana are polling worse than Trump.
In critical swing states like Arizona and Florida, "Not a War Hero" McCain and "the Biggest Ears I've Ever Seen" Rubio are not only pulling ahead of their Democratic rivals, they're also outpolling Trump by double digits. So is Rob Portman in Ohio, where Portman has built a massive turnout operation to get his own voters to the polls, no matter what the Trump campaign does or does not do on Election Day. Ohio is now tied for Trump and Clinton, but a major Portman victory could deliver just enough persuadable voters to the polls to give Trump a margin of victory.
In Georgia and Utah, two states that should be easy wins for Trump but are dangerously close contests instead, Sens. Johnny Isakson and Mike Lee are way out ahead of their rivals. If Trump wins those states, he may have them to thank for bringing Republicans to the polls who might not have bothered otherwise.
So how would a Trump White House work with a Republican Senate if the party defied expectations and won them both? It's hard to imagine President Trump being able to bury the hatchet with senators he maligned along the way, who could then chair committees, allocate funds, and hold the votes for whatever agenda Trump has in mind. They might not forgive him for the things he said, and he might not forgive them for some insults they hurled in the heat of the campaign.
[Senate Republicans Leave Trump Meeting With Little to Say]
After months of being called "Little Marco," Rubio snapped and called Trump a small handed, orange-hued "con artist." Sen. Ben Sasse described Trump as one half of "the dumpster fire" that the election has become. Mike Lee said Trump "scares me to death," while Ted Cruz, after the Your-Father-Helped-Kill-Kennedy bit, called Trump a "sniveling coward" and "a narcissist the likes of which I don't think this country has ever seen."
But it's possible that all of those insults and nasty words about Trump during the primary were just politics masquerading as conviction.
On Friday, Ted Cruz endorsed Trump after declaring at the Republican convention that he was "not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and father." But Cruz apparently is in the habit of supporting people who could be in power in the near future.
Even if Republican senators hold their own, the question remains whether voters who come out for their senators will also vote for Trump, split their ticket or skip the top line altogether. Ticket-splitting reached a 92-year low in the 2012 elections, but as Walter Shapiro pointed out here this summer, ticket splitting may not be dead, it might just be sleeping. The 2016 election will answer that question once and for all.

For anyone following gun control (or gun safety) as political issue, it would be easy to dismiss 2016 as just another year where a whole lot happened, but nothing changed.
There have been 224 mass shootings in the United States so far this year, including the massacre at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando and the July attack on Dallas police officers. After every major incident, Washington followed the now-familiar script of outrage, calls from Democrats for gun restrictions, denial from Republicans that guns are the problem, and then, as usual, gridlock.
But as Election Day gets closer, an incremental, but important shift has modified gun safety as a usually partisan campaign issue. A handful of Republicans in must-win Senate seats are now running on their willingness to embrace even modest gun reforms, while outside interest groups are crossing the aisle to reward those Republicans for doing it.
The highest profile Republican who may be changing the rules on guns is Republican Sen. Patrick J. Toomey, who is locked in a dead-heat race in Pennsylvania against Katie McGinty. Toomey blazed into the Senate in 2008 as an unapologetic conservative and former president of the Club for Growth with an A rating from the National Rifle Association. So it was striking when he joined Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., after the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School to sponsor legislation to expand background checks for firearms purchases.
Toomey joined Democrats this year on a similar bill after the San Bernadino shootings and voted over the summer to cross check gun purchases against the terror watch list.
The Washington politics on guns may be complicated for Toomey, but attitudes on the issue at home in Pennsylvania are unambiguous. A PPP poll of the state in August showed 85 percent of all voters in the state in favor of background checks on all gun purchases, including 80 percent of Republicans.
[Gun Control Meets Congressional Dysfunction]
The issue is usually a potent partisan issue for Democrats, who typically portray Republicans as puppets of the gun lobby, but Toomey's decision to sponsor and vote for gun restrictions has made that almost impossible for Katie McGinty, especially after PACs led by Gabby Giffords and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg endorsed Toomey in recent weeks.
The Bloomberg PAC, Independence USA, is running nearly $750,000 of ads in the Philadelphia suburbs, where he has to perform well to win reelection. An especially powerful ad features the daughter of Sandy Hook Elementary's principal, who was killed protecting children at her school.
"Pat Toomey crossed party lines to do the right thing," she says.
[Democrats 'Not Worried' About Punishment for House Sit-In, Hoyer Says]
In an op-ed for CNN, Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly praised both Toomey and Illinois Republican Sen. Mark Kirk as principled on the issue that nearly cost her her life when she was shot by a constituent at a town hall meeting.
The endorsement came at a pivotal time for Kirk, who has trailed behind Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth and must have support from cross-over Democrats in the state, which is even more in favor of tougher gun laws than the rest of the country. Kirk has long been on the outs with the NRA. More important for Kirk is Gifford's praise as an independent pragmatist, the brand Kirk has been working to push.
[Gun Compromise Faces Challenges From Right and Left]
In all-important Florida, guns have become a crucial issue in that state's Senate race. Sen. Marco Rubio said the Pulse night club shooting so moved him that he decided to run for another term.
Last week, Eric Garcia reported that Rubio introduced legislation to notify the FBI if the subject of a federal terrorism investigation in the last 10 year tries to buy a gun. Rubio's opponent, Rep. Patrick Murphy, dismissed the bill as Rubio's effort "paper over" a weak record, but it's astonishing, nonetheless, to see a conservative Republican introduce a gun bill less than two months before Election Day.
In 1994, the assault weapons ban was blamed as the reason dozens of Democrats lost their seats. In 2016, a similar decision by Republicans may be the reason some Republicans keep their jobs. If that's the result, 2016 will end up being the year the politics of guns changed, no matter what legislation ended up passing on Capitol Hill.

Chefs & Managers
Invitation to Participate 2015:
Restaurants are invited to participate in the 5th Annual Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge, to be held Oct. 1-31, 2015. Brought to you by Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge organizer Bethany Davis, and volunteers representing the Vegan community of Greater Sacramento.
The Challenge –to think outside of the "Meat Box"
Chefs at each participating restaurant are asked to create original vegan* dishes from at least three of the following categories: Appetizer, Soup, or Salad; Main Entree; and Dessert. There will also be a stand-alone Brunch category, and new this year, a Bar Menu category. Some restrictions will apply (attached) to avoid common meal selections for vegan fare – and to encourage greater creative challenge among our chefs.
*Vegan = all foods except: eggs, dairy, cheese, butter, poultry, meat (including seafood) and honey
The contest will be publicized locally and featured via several vegan on-line community forums, blogs & social media promotion. Participating restaurants will be listed on all publicity materials, and linked on our featured blogs. Photos & bios of participating chefs, and photos of challenge dishes, will be posted as well. Updates will be documented via website blogs and social networking sites including those targeted to the vegan/vegetarian, health/wellness, and environmental awareness communities.
The dining public will be encouraged to dine at participating restaurants and vote via on-line survey) for their favorite vegan dishes in each of the categories. Voting and publicity will be managed by our organizing team. In early November, votes will be tallied and winners announced. Restaurants with winning dishes will receive a certificate from Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge for display, as well as a variety of vegan-friendly prizes (cookbooks, etc.) and, best of all, many new loyal customers!
Behind the Challenge
Sacramento, especially midtown/ downtown, is renowned for its variety of savvy, contemporary, restaurant establishments offering a diverse culinary selection and exquisite dining experiences. We are working to increase creative vegan selections that have been noticeably missing from the menus of several leading restaurants. There is a growing dining community who craves delicious and thoughtfully-prepared vegan meals, for a variety of reasons including health, environmental concerns, California's drought situation, factory farm issues, etc.
By definition, all vegan food is lactose-free, egg free & cholesterol free; and (depending on preparation) generally considerably lower in fat and calories than dishes containing animal products. By offering healthy vegan options, you will be supporting diners who for health reasons (including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, weight management, diabetes, heart disease, etc.) are concerned about their intake of dairy, fat, or cholesterol and/or are following special diets specifically limiting these foods.
For an increasingly health-conscious (i.e. following low fat/ low cholesterol, dairy-free or gluten-free diets) and environmentally aware public (who connect the consumption of animal products to greenhouse gas emissions and extreme water usage), healthful vegan options will add greater choice and variety to any menu. 57% of all restaurant patrons "sometimes, " "often," or "always" order a vegetarian item when dining out (Zogby International). Sacramento has the opportunity to support this trend by offering quality veg-fare for this ever-growing demand, which will not only appeal to the local vegan/ vegetarian community (approx. 2-5% of the general population), but supports Sacramento's 'Farm to Fork' campaign, as well!
Sacramento has just a handful of specifically vegan/vegetarian restaurants. Many establishments generally limit their vegan choices to veggie burgers or gardens salads. Over the past four years, most of our 36+ participating Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge restaurants have enjoyed an enthusiastic, loyal, new customer following based on their newly-added vegan menu offerings.
Nearby, San Francisco & the greater Bay Area combined boast nearly 300 veg-friendly restaurants (including the highly-rated Millenium); Los Angeles has over 400. Portland, OR has close to 200. A quick glance at http://www.vegguide.org/ showcases the number of vegan/ veg-friendly restaurants nationwide.
It's time for Sacramento to join the A-list of veg-friendly communities.
Next Steps
Once your participation is verified, we will begin the process of promoting the event and spreading the word to the greater Sacramento community, in anticipation of the October 1 launch of the event. You will receive a poster to display indicating your participation during the challenge.
In the meantime, feel free to contact us with any questions you might have.
Thank you for your consideration to participate in this Challenge!
Goal of the Challenge:
Create an appealing, well-balanced, 3-course vegan meal to be included on your restaurant menu and offered to diners during October 1-31, 2015. *Additional stand-alone categories= Brunch menu; Bar menu
- Entrees (& brunches) should ideally reflect a well-balanced meal, including protein, sides, etc.
- Each restaurant/ chef is asked to create & feature new, original dishes for this Challenge that are not already included on the pre-existing menu.
- The Vegan Chef Challenge menu may be featured as a separate menu insert, added to your October menu, or otherwise displayed to your dining guests in a way that indicates that you are participating in the Challenge and featuring a Vegan Challenge option.
- It is acceptable to 'adjust' menus mid-Challenge in consideration of customer feedback, etc.
Vegan = all foods except: eggs, dairy, cheese, butter, poultry, meat (including seafood) and honey (many vegans do eat honey, but since some do not, we are including this on the list).
*Also please avoid the following ingredients: whey, casein (milk proteins), albumin, gelatin, or glycerin (unless listed as plant-sourced). Watch out for whey/ milk/ skim milk in chocolate, baking mixes, etc.
We encourage you to minimize use of oils in general. (Please see attached explanation.)
Vegan primary protein sources = beans/ legumes, tofu, tempeh, seitan, mushrooms, nuts, seeds & nut butters, quinoa, potatoes, greens, whole grains, etc.
There are several "default" dishes that appear in vegan cuisine. We're encouraging Sacramento chefs to be creative and expand beyond traditional fare, so we want to outline a few forbidden foods/dishes:
|"Forbidden" Foods for this challenge:
|French Fries, standard hummus, raw vegetable platters pasta marinara,

Because the first resources for safe student transportation on campus are the Birnie Bus and Centro bus systems, safety escort requests to DPS during bus hours may be to the nearest bus stop. You should familiarize yourself with the bus schedules and plan your activities around the schedule.
When the busses are not available (generally from 3:00 a.m. to 6:30 a.m.), DPS staff will provide a walking or riding safety escort to SU students, faculty, and staff from on-campus or near-campus locations to another on-campus location, or if necessary, your near-campus residence. If busses are not running, the escort may be directly to a residence hall, south campus residence (if the Birnie Bus Warehouse Express is running, Main Campus to South Campus escorts may be referred to this service) or other near-campus residence.
Bus schedules are available through Centro here and also via SU Parking and Transit Services - we urge students to plan ahead and know the bus schedules.
Walking Escorts are provided for SU students, staff, and faculty on Main Campus from academic buildings to residence halls or parking facilities, and vice versa. The program operates from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. throughout the academic year. After 11:00 p.m. DPS staff will provide either a walking or riding safety escort if no transportation services are available.
Walking escorts can be requested by calling 315-443-7233 (SAFE).
About the Shuttle Escort Service
DPS provides shuttle escorts and walking escorts to ensure that members of the campus community arrive safely to their destinations. As such, the shuttle services are secondary resources to other established transportation methods, including Centro buses.
Safety escort requests during bus hours may be to the nearest bus stop. You should familiarize yourself with the bus schedules and plan your activities around the schedule. When the Centro busses are not available (generally from 3:00 a.m. to 6:30 a.m.), DPS staff will provide a walking or riding safety escort to SU students, faculty, and staff from on-campus or near-campus locations to another on-campus location, or if necessary, your near-campus residence.
We encourage University students, staff and faculty to utilize the shuttle service ONLY when other safe transportation methods are unavailable. We reserve the right to redirect callers to other transportation services, if services (like Centro bus routes) are readily and safely available. Each shuttle escort phone call is evaluated on a case-by-case basis for such recommendations.
Please note that groups of three or more persons are considered a safe walking group. If a group of three or more calls requesting a shuttle escort, they will be referred to available transportation services or advised that three or more persons is considered a safe walking group.
The safety escort service is not a commuter ride service. These escorts are solely for your safety and not for convenience. For your convenience, please utilize the Centro buses or call upon local taxi services, which are readily available and listed in the local phone book.
And while the Department of Public Safety does not endorse any particular company, a listing of Syracuse taxi companies can be found through yellowpages.com.
Shuttle-U-Home provides free transportation from campus for Syracuse University students, faculty, and staff who reside off campus within a designated geographic area. The shuttle runs daily from 8:15 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. during the academic year. Please note that the shuttle will take you to YOUR residence, and no place else.
To use the shuttle, you must present your SU or ESF ID and sign up in the Students for Community Safety (SCS) office at 019 Watson Hall.
The Shuttle-U-Home program operates on a first-come, first-serve basis; you cannot reserve a spot on the shuttle. The shuttle holds seven passengers, and the length of the trip depends on the number of passengers and their destinations, as the shuttle does not operate on a fixed route.
Keep in mind that the shuttle can be delayed due to weather and/or traffic conditions.
Other reminders about the Shuttle-U-Home service:
The service, with one driver and one monitor, departs from Watson Hall and operates within specific boundaries.
Shuttle-U-Home Boundaries:
Comstock Ave to Adams Street; Adams Street to Irving Avenue; Irving Avenue to Harrison Street; Harrison Street to Townsend Street; Townsend Street to East Genesee Street; East Genesee Street to Lexington Ave; Lexington Ave to Allen Street; Allen Street to Euclid Avenue; Euclid Avenue to Westcott Street; Westcott Street to Meadowbrook Drive; Meadowbrook Drive to Buckingham Avenue; Buckingham Avenue to East Colvin Street; East Colvin Street to Comstock; Comstock Avenue to Jamesville Avenue; Jamesville Avenue to Ainsley; Ainsley Drive to East Brighton Avenue; East Brighton Avenue to Thurber Street; Thurber Street to Jamesville Avenue; Jamesville Avenue to East Colvin Street (including Smith Lane and Roney Lane) and East Colvin Street to Comstock Avenue (including Robert Drive).
** The shuttle does NOT operate to areas covered by CENTRO buses or Birnie Bus shuttles, including: Manley Field House, South Campus, University Village, Nob Hill Apartments, or Park Point Apartments. For a map of Shuttle-U-Home boundaries, click here. **
For more information about the safety escort services that the Department of Public Safety provides, read over our Safety Escort FAQs.
Shuttle 44
Shuttle 44 is another free shuttle service, available to members of the Syracuse University community. The shuttle runs:
Shuttle 44 operates within the following boundaries:
East Genesee Street east to Lexington Ave, Lexington Ave east to Westmoreland Ave, Westmoreland Ave south to Colvin St, Colvin St west to Comstock Avenue, Comstock Ave south to Jamesville Ave, Jameville Ave south to Ainsley Drive, Ainsley west to Brighton Ave, Brighton Ave north to Thurber St, Thurber St east to Jamesville Ave, Jamesville Ave north to Colvin St, Colvin St east to Hughes, Hughes north to Robert, Robert east/south to Colvin, Colvin St east to Comstock Ave, Comstock north to Euclid, Euclid west to Sims Drive, Sims Drive west/south to Forestry, Forestry west to Raynor, Raynor west to Stadium Pl, Stadium Pl south to Oakland, Oakland west to Fineview Pl, Fineview Pl north to Raynor, Raynor east to Henry St, Henry St north to Van Buren, Van Buren east to Irving, Irving north to East Fayette, East Fayette east to University Ave, University Ave south to East Genesee.
To request a ride from Shuttle 44, call the Department of Public Safety at 315-443-SAFE (7233). Unlike with Shuttle-U-Home, you do not have to sign up at Watson Hall. You can simply call 443-SAFE, and if your destination is within the Shuttle 44 boundary map, the shuttle will be dispatched to your location.
As with Shuttle-U-Home, Shuttle 44 does not operate to the areas covered by CENTRO buses or Birnie Bus shuttle services during their hours of operation.
Requests for safety escorts during bus hours may be to the nearest bus stop.
Late Night Orange Express
The Late Night Orange Express is a shuttle service operated by Birnie Bus bus company on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, from 3:30 a.m. to 5 a.m.
The shuttle operates three routes:

Reverse logic, oteensdad - the BS posts draw the mindless rabble, thoughtful discuss occurs in the quiet corners. The Shire ten year exclusivity won't stand as the Genzyme product was there before, and Pfizer has the muscle to prevail.
its hard to have thoughtful discussions when 12tooth is in every corner attacking every long who tries to have a thoughtful discussion. How can you talk about mindless rabble? You are the king of it here

Dane woke up, like an alarm went off in his head. In less than a minute he was fully dressed. He went in the guest rooms and woke Zara, George, and Kylar
"Six thirty A.M. is too early to wake," George complained, as usual.
Dane went in his bathroom and started to brush is teeth.
"I wonder if he�ll try to follow us," Kylar
said with a an angry face.
Zara elbowed him in the stomach. "That�s rude, and he was nice enough to let us sleep here."
George mimicked what she said silently.
"I saw that."
Dane walked out of his bathroom. "Let�s get going."
As they walked out of his mansion, Dane took one final look at it. He sighed and kept walking. They headed into town and saw a big blue building, with a red and silver Pok
Ball at the top. The Pok
mon Center.
As they approached the center, Zara looked at Dane. "Are you ready?"
"You bet!"
They walked in, and gazed around. George pointed to Nurse Joy and they went to talk to her.
"Excuse me, Nurse, I am here to get my starter Pok
mon," Dane said, smiling brightly.
"Okay, come back here with me," Nurse Joy said. They all followed. They walked into what looked like a storage room with a lot of Pok
Balls on shelves. Joy went to a shelve labeled "Starters". "Do you know which Pok
mon you are going to pick?"
"Yes, I do," Dane said, pointing. "That one!"
"A Torchic?" Nurse Joy asked.
"A Torchic?" Zara, George, and Kylar
"Yes," Dane said, ready to explain. "I figure if I�m going to be catching bug, I need a fire Pok
mon to assist me."
George smiled. "Torchic is the best, hands down!" Zara glared at him.
"Well, here you are, you Torchic." Nurse Joy handed Dane his ball.
Dane smiled happily. George smiled with him. Zara smiled looking at George smile. Kylar
was playing with his rubber band. It flew out of his hand and it the Pok
Balls. A couple when from the shelf. "Sorry," he said.
"Ky, that�s something George would do!" Zara exclaimed.
"Um, I think we�ll go now, thanks!" George said to Nurse Joy. She bent down and started picking up the balls as they left.
When they got outside, Dane released his new Pok
"Torchic!" Torchic said, looking around.
"Aww!" Dane said, picking it up. "It�s the best! Look, it has pink feathers instead of light orange!"
Zara touched Torchic�s feathers. "They feel beautiful, you are really lucky."
"Well, I guess this is it, goodbye," Zara said, looking at the ground.
"We�ll miss you," George said, holding out his hand. Dane shook it.
"We�ll see you soon, Dane," Kylar
Dane looked at them all, "I cannot wait to meet up with you all-"
Before Dane could finish, his Torchic got snatched by something that was moving really quickly.
"Torchic!" Dane yelled. He started to run after Torchic and it�s napper, but he was stopped by someone�s hand.
"Where are you going, young man?" Imation asked.
"Who are you?!" Dane asked, frightened.
"That�s Imation, he�s our stalker," George replied.
Imation growled. George grimaced.
"Let go of him!" Kylar
commanded, pushing Imation. Imation shook his head. He let go of Dane and started to strangle Kylar
. Dane, George, and Zara started attacking Imation. Dane kicked, George punched, and Zara slapped Imation�s back.
"AH!" Imation screamed in a high pitched voice. He let go of Kylar
and fell to the ground. Kylar
got up, and sent out his Poochyena.
"Poochyena, go find a Torchic that belongs to Dane!"
George sent out his Taillow. "Follow Poochyena!"
The two Pok
mon went quickly into the forest, searching for te Torchic.
"I�m going to go report you to the police," Zara said to Imation.
"Well, you do that. Let me inform you that if I press this button," Imation showed them a contol, with a big red button in the middle, "you�re Torchic is toast. You see, I told my Zangoose to attach dynamite to your Pok
Dane wanted to say something, but he couldn�t he knew that if he upset Imation, he might never see his Torchic again.
"You can�t do that!" Zara yelled.
"Oh, yes I can!" Imation pushed the button, and they heard a bang.
"Torchic!" Dane yelled. Then a big cloud of smoke formed, and Imation�s Zangoose, dark and ashy, fell to the ground, with X�s for eyes.
"Zangoose? How could this be?" Imation said, crying.
Then, out of the smoke came Poochyena and Taillow, with Torchic, unharmed.
"Oh my gosh, do you think?" George said looking at Zara. Zara shrugged.
"Torchic, I�m so glad you�re okay!" Dane said, hugging Torchic.
"You guys did great!" Kylar
and Dane said to their Pok
Sirens blared. Officer Jenny pulled up in her motorcycle. She stepped off, and walked up to Imation.
"You look familiar," Jenny said to Imation. "I have a feeling you have something to do with this..."
"Yeah, he did," Everyone said.
After they explained to Jenny what happened, and Imation was arrested, Dane walked Zara, George, and Kylar
to a trainer hotel.
"Thanks so much, I�ll miss you!" Dane said, waving.
"Bye!" They replied, waving back.

The United States imported 2.99 million net tons of steel in August, an 8.5 percent month-over-month decline, driven down by lower volumes from Brazil and South Korea from a month prior.
Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., said he will fight the trade deal in the Senate, but Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., hinted the deal could fly in 2017 if controversial language giving corporations the right to challenge a nation's regulations is removed.
The association has called on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to promulgate rules that require importers of low value goods to bear the same data requirements as shippers of goods over the de minimis level.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Third-party logistics providers like Expeditors International of Washington have traditionally benefitted from disruptions in direct shipper/carrier relationships, according to a recent client note from William Blair Equity Research.
Several ocean carriers have decided to launch various routes in order to fill the void from Hanjin's halted operation.
The International Longshoremen's Association has reversed an earlier decision, and agreed to once again work ships operated by the now insolvent South Korean ocean carrier.

Digging out: Extreme cold grips snowy Northeast
BOSTON -- Homeowners and motorists dug out across the white-blanketed Northeast on Friday as extreme cold ushered in by the storm threatened fingers and toes but kept the snow powdery and mercifully easy to shovel. At least 14 deaths were blamed on the storm as it swept across the nation's eastern half.
The snowfall had all but stopped by morning across the hard-hit Philadelphia-to-Boston corridor, but temperatures were in the single digits and teens, with wind chills well below zero.
The heaviest snow fell north of Boston in Boxford, which received nearly 2 feet. Nearly 18 inches fell in Boston and western New York near Rochester. Lakewood, N.J., got 10 inches, and New York's Central Park got 6. Philadelphia got more than 6 inches.
Temperatures reached minus 8 in Burlington, Vt., with a wind chill of minus 29. Wind chills in Boston and in Providence, R.I., made it feel like minus-20 Friday morning, and the forecast called for more of the same into today.
Emergency officials warned that anyone spending more than a few minutes outdoors could suffer frostbite.
Slick roads were blamed for several traffic deaths. Also, a 71-year-old woman with Alzheimer's disease froze to death after she wandered away from her western New York home and a worker in Philadelphia was killed when a 100-foot-high pile of road salt fell and crushed him.

While the EBU took a leading role at last week's SMPTE Forum (see "Will television survive the next fifteen years?"), three other high level events focusing on the future of media and broadcast technologies have also featured key EBU participants.
Technical Director Lieven Vermaele spoke at last week's World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Geneva. Monday's session, focusing on how innovative technologies can provide access to ICT, looked at the transition from analogue to digital terrestrial TV. Speaking about the future of broadcasting in a broadband ecosystem, Mr Vermaele emphasized the economic and social benefits of broadcasting. Recognizing that media must evolve more towards non-linear and mobile services, he stressed that broadcasting and broadband will have to cooperate in delivery solutions.
Pictured at the WSIS Forum, Lieven Vermaele (EBU), Jasna Matic, State Secretary for the Digital Agenda, Serbia, and François Rancy, Director of ITU's Radiocommunication Bureau. (Photo: ITU)
Earlier this week, the opening keynote at 25th Annual Symposium of the FKTG in Wiesbaden, Germany, was delivered by the EBU's Hans Hoffmann. His presentation examined emerging trends related to new media platforms and distribution technologies, broadcast production developments, the changes for Public Service Broadcasters and future technologies. Over 300 participants are expected at the event this week, which is run in conjunction with a broadcast exhibition.
Finally, in Paris today Lieven Vermaele participated in a panel discussion at the European Technology, Media and Telecommunications Summit. The discussion, titled "Beyond HDTV", asked how technology vendors, satellite operators and broadcasters can create the next big consumer TV opportunity. Mr Vermaele focused on the EBU's work in enabling delivery to multiple platforms and devices and the development of more immersive formats such as 4K and 3D TV.

Yeezy Boost 350 For Sale,Yeezy Boost 350 Outlet All Size
"Awww just waking up Yeezy Boost 350 For Sale in Brazil, seeing Kanye won 3 Grammy's last week!!! That makes a total of 21!!!! That's just so insane! Soooo proud!!!" Kim Kardashian tweeted this morning when she woke up in South america. It sounds like Kim is proud of Kanye's accomplishments in the song Yeezy Boost 350 For Sale industry, as she proudly shared he or she had won 21 Grammy awards in total. Perhaps she will Yeezy Boost 350 Outlet All Size be seeing the awards usually when the two move their particular completed home before the is given birth to. Lately if feels like every celebrity is releasing a tell-all book. Despite the fact that it's not the celebrity, it's somebody related to or that associated more than celiebrity. Is it the new trend? Remember when it used to be safe to accomplish secrets? Remember when might trust you family even if you couldn't rely Yeezy Boost 350 Outlet All Size on your friends? Let's hope you remember because all of that now is just that, a MEMORY! Days gone by no longer exists as tell-all books are being completed for release month-to-month. Penning tell-all books seems a lot individuals "claim to fame" when it's good or bad marketing. With the release of tell-all books, unknown citizens are able to "piggy back" celebrities making name inside their selves. Past musical collaborators with Justin Bieber have been Diddy, Drake, Ludacris, and adidas yeezy boost 750. It is evident that Justin enjoys hip jump. Can the transition work? Many think so, as Bieber incorporates huge following, and that can only extend to country, not repel it. Once mainly a following of teenage girls, Bieber's influence is starting to spread throughout all issues with music, thanks in part to his many 'eclectic' collaborators. He any former person in the Hot Boys understands up to be a solo artist with cash Money Records Company. Today, Lil Wayne is certainly one the hottest hip-hop artists of the 21st Hundred years. His songs are loved and took part in every corner of earth. Because of his popularity, it's not surprising to find out cell phones ringing out his music everywhere. One will note i stated Country music deserved a representative on record even though I am not keen on the genre or artist listed, yet hip-hop and rap don't get a great mention. Therefore, why? Well, 2007 was a sad year for hip-hop and rap with two of the more popular albums not being poplar for actually having good content, but because of a marketing feud; yes, adidas yeezy boost 350 vs. 50 Cent. Other than that the genre is it will always be a lot of advertising and random phases of lyrics or trends; somebody deter T-Pain's stupid machine be sure you. Nas was right when he stated that hip hop was flat. West told the young country star that lousy shine in their own moment of glory in the minute, only after he first told the audience how awesome Beyonce's video was. If you have never seen the Anastas video yet, it's highly mentioned. You'll likely need to listen to it a rare occasions to obtain the full impact; I know I was able to! To see the whole Ernie Anastas "Keep f**king that chicken video", click at this juncture. Kris Jenner said on Friday night that several people mentioned the name North to Kim, but that her daughter never really considered it, until Jay Leno brought it up on "The Tonight Event." Kris then said that Kim and Kanye went home and discussed the right of naming their baby North West after her appearance on Jay's evening talk holiday. Jenner stated that Kim said following her television appearance, "I never really thought about it until Jay brought upward. I think I expect to name the baby North." Jenner went on to swear how the story was the whole truth as well as zilch but the reality.

Surprise, surprise, Gilbert Arenas has a wish list of teams that he would like to sign with.
Arenas is no longer a superstar but is apparently in a position to dictate which teams will have an opportunity to land his inconsistent services. According to Marc Stein of ESPN.com, the teams that are at the top of his list are the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, Miami Heat and any team that trades for Dwight Howard.
The troubled point guard was once one of the most prolific two-way players in the game. Now, however, it is unclear if he can even make a substantial impact on any team he plays for.
For Arenas to succeed, he needs to walk into the best situation possible. Which team on his wish-list can offer that?
Let's take a look.

Finite element analysis simulated the valve's condition following an earthquake.
Atomic Energy of Canada, Ltd., a subcontractor of Societatea Nationala Nucleoelectrica S.A. (SNN) of Romania, contracted Badger Meter to model, test, and produce a set of precision valves for Cernavoda Unit 2, the second nuclear power plant in Cernavoda, Romania. The main concern for the construction and operation of the valves was their survivability and continued functioning after enduring an earthquake. In nuclear power plants, such valves control the cooling of the nuclear reactors where continued flow of water around the nuclear core is essential for safety. After the earthquake that precipitated the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens in 1980, testing criteria for valves routinely has included their capability to ensure the safe functioning of the reactor after seismic events, at least in terms of cooling capacity.
Materials were defined for the various parts using the CAD tool's built-in library. The parts consist of 300 Series stainless steel, brass, higher-end nickel alloys, and high-pressure alloys of brass and stainless steel, depending on the stresses and temperatures to which the various parts would be exposed.
The CAD model was reduced from its original configuration to a simplified model of five components. The removed components were simplified into a series of lumped nodal masses and later reattached to the finite element analysis (FEA) model with massless, virtual beams at appropriate locations. The mass, centroid, and moment of inertia data for the nodal masses was formulated in the CAD program and then applied in ALGOR FEA software. Simplifying the model, only the necessary properties for analysis were used, thus reducing the solving time.
The goal of the analysis was to simulate the valve assembly's condition and functionality after an earthquake. That is, failure was defined not in terms of status at the moment of seismic impact, but rather after the event's impact initially was felt. As part of an effort to improve the accuracy of the experiment, engineers were not given access to the maximum allowable stress target for the entire assembly — the company was in a blind data scenario with regards to the overall target stresses.
The impact event — an earthquake — was defined as inputs of 1 to 4 Gs applied over a period of 1/10 second. The event was simulated by using a natural frequency analysis, incorporating the results into the model, and then conducting a response spectrum analysis.
The results of the analysis showed that the maximum stress of 1,811 psi was found in the yoke — the section connecting the valve's mount to the piping. This is less than the maximum allowable stress of 23,100 psi for material of this kind (ASTM A-27 Cast Steel), according to the ASTM standards.
In its use of FEA, the company realized savings in terms of the time, materials, testing funds, and parts that would have been required to prototype the valve assembly and perform physical tests. The valve assembly met the criteria for use in the Cernavoda nuclear facility, whose construction is now nearly 40% complete. The valve assembly is part of the new, functioning nuclear facility.
This work was done by Wayne Hall, mechanical designer, and Wayne Hays, senior valve engineer, of Badger Meter, Tulsa, OK, using software from ALGOR, Inc., Pittsburgh, PA. For more information, visit http://info.hotims.com/10958-122.

This paper examines the performance consequences of cutting discretionary expenditures and managing accruals to exceed analyst forecasts. We show that firms that just beat analyst forecasts with low quality earnings exhibit a short-term stock price benefit relative to firms that miss forecasts with high quality earnings. This trend, however, reverses over a three-year horizon. Additionally, firms reducing discretionary expenditures to beat forecasts have significantly greater equity issuances and insider selling in the following year, consistent with managers understanding the myopic nature of their actions. Our results confirm survey evidence suggesting managers engage in myopic behavior to beat benchmarks.
