Document imaging systems are meant to be tools for improving credit union operations and empowering employees to provide better service to members. However, a survey conducted last year showed that 75% of the credit unions surveyed reported running a document imaging system that was at least five years old. Many of the systems currently in use at credit unions are no longer being updated and are creating more problems than they are solving. Older systems are unable to handle new document types, create artificial silos that separate different types of documents, and require significant manual processing to scan, index, and archive documents. The same survey found that there is nearly universal dissatisfaction with these legacy systems and as well as widespread acknowledgement of multiple pain points related to maintaining and using them.
Rather than helping employees more efficiently provide better member service, outdated document imaging systems actually hinder member service, frustrate employees, and drive increased operational costs. Many of these older systems do not integrate well with new loan origination or electronic signature solutions and are prone to security breaches. As credit unions try to maintain their member, asset, and loan growth trends of the past few years, they will need to update their systems to scale for growth, maintain member service levels, and minimize as much as possible the burden on their IT departments.
Cabrillo Credit Union's 5-Year Plan: Cut Costs, Improve Member Service
San Diego-based Cabrillo Credit Union ($210m assets) competes with the nation's largest financial institutions that are saturating the area with large branch networks and a wide range of innovative products. With only 5 branches, the costs of keeping up with the service offerings of these commercial banks, combined with maintaining the low fee structure and competitive rates that are part of its mission, presents a significant challenge for the credit union. This is a common theme among credit unions nationwide that are striving to compete with commercial banks and their massive IT budgets.
To combat these challenges, Cabrillo CU recently completed a 5-year strategic initiative to transform its information systems, including a core conversion, installing an electronic signature system, and replacing a 10-year old document imaging system. According to Cabrillo's CTO, Frankie Dueñas, "Document imaging is as important to us as our core processor."
Since completion of the multi-stage process, the credit union has noticed the following operational and service improvements:
- 35% reduction in overall paper usage
- Creation of a 20% surplus in employee time previously spent on printing and scanning documents at each branch, now redeployed to member-facing roles
- 50% reduction in the daily work required to manage the storage of e-signed documents achieved by automating previously manual processes
- A substantial reduction in courier services between branches from a rate of 100 sheets a week to zero, effectively eliminating the security risks associated with transporting paper documents.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
ny supreme court ruled this to be true making healthcare facilities accountable for staph infections. is this true in Alabama or can dr's who refuse to wash their hands can cause injury to innocent patients and nothing is done about it?
No. That is not the law in Alabama.

thank you for the best answer. that is not the law in Alabama! nor should it be.
I am confused about what legal question you are asking. Did someone you know contract staph?Ask a similar question
yes sir I did
I never knew that the NY Supreme Court made that finding....would you let me know the name of the case?Ask a similar question
it's on the RID (ridding infectious diseases) website
tried didn't work so try to copy and paste www.hospitalinfection.org/nextasbestos.shtml
I believe that the following statement is what led you to conclude that NY Courts have reached this conclusion. Unfortunately the court dismissed the case and found for the defendant. The upshot of this article is that one day the court will recognize that hospitals can control infections if they want to and that will shift the burden of proof. "A rapidly growing body of new evidence shows that almost all hospital infections are preventable if hospital staff are trained in the correct procedures and required to follow them. Had the plaintiff in Hoffman v. Pelletier et al (6 A.D. 889, 775 N.Y.S. 2d. 397, 2004 N.Y. App. Div) presented such evidence, the trial court probably would not have granted summary judgment for the defendants".
I only wish that was the law in NY. Infection cases are very difficult to prove even though most infections are probably due to failure to follow proper protocol.Ask a similar question
it was on the RID (ridding infectious diseases) website the article also mentioned every lawyer learns in law school about the merchant who left the flower pot on the window sill. It reasoned that not washing hands was most likely to result in a staph infection and 52% of the time doctors were found not to wash their hands
Though I am from Pennsylvania, I am surprised I have not heard of the opinion you reference. I find it unusual that a court would say staph infections are per se the result of negligence. THis would be BIG NEWS. THese cases are very difficult since the patients must show the source of the infection and that it was due to some act or omission of the hospital. Infections are a major cause of re-admissions and drive up health care costs.
I think you may have some wrong information--though, personally I would agree with the idea!
If you feel this is the "best" answer or is "helpful," please indicate. Since I am limited to the information you provide, I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the answer. You should seek the advise of an attorney who can explore all aspects of your question. This communication does not form an attorney client relationship.Ask a similar question
Thank you for citing your source. Interesting article but the court's opinion did not actually say that the presence of an infection makes the hospital per se negligent.
true but close enough and sounds like getting closer let my case help further the cause
I believe it is helpful. Thank you!
I agree that a court would never opine that something is or is not the standard of care. Or if this was done the opinion wouldn't likely stand long. The standard of care has to be established through expert testimony. Every expert I have ever come in contact with has said that it is impossible to eradicate staph infections becauseBUT is every where in our environment including on the skin. Stronger antibiotics have produced stronger bugs.Ask a similar question
I posted an article from the rid website you are welcome to read it. staph is preventable. the bugs on our skin are not the bugs that injure or kill us like the one that infected me or we would all drop dead in the er ambulance or the trip to the er staph is preventable with the proper protocols being followed
Some staph infections are preventable. What I said was that it is impossible to eradicate it.
In answer to your original question, that is not the law in Alabama and I doubt you would be able to prove medical malpractice in a staph case.
Alabama law requires that I inform you that no representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.Ask a similar question
if it is true that most infections are probably due to failure to follow proper protocol as is noted by some of your esteemed colleagues on this site then why is ALABAMA so hard to prove in a staph case? Well, we know why but how many people must be severely injured like myself or die like others have before we no longer accept it as the final answer. Dr's should not be able to injure patients free and clear because Alabama says so. Dr's should wash their hands or suffer the consequences just like their victims are having to do. Really, hand washing is what this about? You can finish med school but can't wash your hands and the supreme court agrees that that's ok?
I'm not arguing that what you are saying is incorrect, I am just letting you know the status of the law in Alabama. The reality is that medical malpractice cases are extremely difficult to win and many more winnable cases are too cost prohibitive to pursue due to the high evidentiary burdens placed on plaintiffs. I don't like it any more than you do.

Shares in the offshore oil rig maker Lamprell more than halved in value yesterday as it issued a stark profits warning. It had been due to update the market today but had to rush out the warning when it discovered how serious matters were.
The shares collapsed 57 per cent, or 167.8p, to 127p. At the start of this month they stood at just over 360p.
Lamprell said it had had difficulties getting hold of key components to build jack-up rigs, used by explorers when searching for offshore oil and gas.
It also admitted that a number of major contracts were running late, and said the costs of building two vessels for erecting offshore windfarm turbines had come in higher than expected. The broker Investec slashed its profit forecast for this year from $117m (£73m) to $38.5m and said Lamprell would find it difficult to shake off its "accident prone" reputation.
Lamprell said it now expected to make a small loss in the first half with some recovery in the second. It said it had a substantial order pipeline worth $4.8bn.Reuse content

Felix Sparks didn't just make it through a long, harrowing tour of duty in World War II.
He also faced a difficult test at the end of his tour — and passed.
The young U.S. Army officer and his men wrapped up their service in part by liberating the Dachau concentration camp as Nazi Germany crumbled.
The camp sickened them, making them even more hostile toward SS troops there, now captured and standing unarmed in a coal yard.
Suddenly, some GIs opened fire on dozens of the captured Nazis.
Sparks knew what to do. He rushed to the coal yard, firing his pistol into the air to get his men to stop shooting at the defenseless enemy.
Decades later, footage of that moment in April 1945 was rediscovered, helping set the record straight about the much-discussed shooting, in which 17 Germans died.
Historian Alex Kershaw was inspired to write a book about Sparks when he saw stills from that video.
"You couldn't think of a greater stress test for leadership than that, really," Kershaw told IBD. "You see the very definition of integrity and leadership."
The author said Sparks, even after 500 days of often-savage combat, managed to do "what every great officer should do, but might not in that situation."
In Uniform
Sparks (1917-2007) joined the Army in 1936, when the Great Depression left the Texas native with few options. His enlistment was up after a couple of years, but he was called back to service in late 1940 — a year before America entered the war.
He became a second lieutenant in the 45th Infantry Division's 157th Infantry Regiment. The division was named the Thunderbirds after the mythic creature on their shoulder patches.
Sparks and his comrades trained at bases in Oklahoma, Massachusetts, New York and Virginia before shipping out for North Africa in June 1943. He married during this period, and, as he left to fight, he and his wife, Mary, were expecting a baby boy, who would be named Kirk.
The Thunderbirds joined in the invasion of Sicily, where Allied forces met mostly limited resistance. Sparks later said the Italians "came right out with their hands up, with their bags packed, ready to go to the States." That quote comes from Kershaw's 2012 book about Sparks, titled "The Liberator: One World War II Soldier's 500-Day Odyssey From the Beach of Sicily to the Gates of Dachau."
Other northward advances in Europe would be more punishing. No U.S. division fought harder to liberate the Continent, according to Kershaw. The Thunderbirds endured horrors at some of WWII's toughest spots: Anzio, Salerno and the snowy Vosges Mountains.
At Anzio — the town on Italy's western coast where the Allies invaded in early 1944 — the Thunderbirds held a key line and prevented a big German victory, but Sparks lost his whole company except for one man. By the end of the war, the division's initial number of men would be replaced seven times, and nine out of 10 men who shipped out with the division were killed, wounded or taken prisoner.
Sparks was fortunate to survive the war, especially given his commitment to leading from the front while rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel. Those who knew him say he put himself in harm's way because of devotion to his troops.
"He had this great love for his men, and they knew it," Kirk Sparks said of dad. "They were just like family to him."
Kershaw notes that Sparks had the same tough, blue-collar background as the men he led, which helped him relate to them.
"The guys under his command knew that if he asked them to do something, he'd be the first guy to lead the charge," Kershaw said. "He did that several times."
Even after a severe injury, Sparks rushed to get back to his men, ignoring the military's rules.
In a friendly fire incident in Italy in October 1943, a splinter from an American shell punctured Sparks' liver, putting him in severe pain and then a hospital to convalesce.
Told he didn't have discharge orders, Sparks shot back that he was discharging himself in order to join his men, according to an account in "The Liberator."
He ended up hitching rides back to the front on a B-17 bomber and a jeep, eventually avoiding a court-martial for this action.
Sparks excelled as a leader in part because soldiers simply listened to him. Kirk Sparks noted: "He spoke few words. When he did speak, it was in very clear language and understandable, and there was just something about him that had a command presence. In other words, you paid attention."
Kershaw met Sparks a few months before the veteran died at age 90. Even though he was lying in bed in pain, Sparks "still had this great natural authority," the author said, adding: "He was the sort of guy where he'd just say a few words, and you'd just do it. He had just a way of being that was direct, straightforward and powerful."
The Other Front
So why aren't Sparks and other Thunderbirds better known today? Kershaw notes they've had to compete for attention with other Allied triumphs. Take the liberation of Rome, essentially the Italian campaign's climax. The Thunderbirds helped bring about that June 4, 1944, triumph — just two days before the Allies' invasion of Normandy, France, the D-Day that dominated the headlines.
"They were unlucky, really," said Kershaw. "Their achievements were overshadowed by things like D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge, which were huge, huge stories (in 1944)."
During the war and decades later, Sparks was troubled by talk that he didn't do enough to stop the shooting of the captured SS guards at Dachau. One book spread the lie that Sparks' men killed more than 500 German prisoners.
Gen. George Patton himself described the court-martial charges against Sparks and his men as "a bunch of crap" and tore them up. At that time in mid-1945, Patton was the military governor of Bavaria.
But the false accounts of what happened wouldn't go away.
Sparks was greatly relieved when another World War II veteran turned up film of the incident in the mid-1990s, five decades after the camp's liberation.
"He was pleased that showed up," Kirk Sparks said. "That was a thorn in his side that somebody would believe that he was a part of it, or that he could have stopped it but he didn't."
Felix Sparks pointed out that he and his men hadn't ever heard of concentration camps until they got to Dachau, near Munich. The thousands of dead bodies and emaciated survivors stunned the Americans, even though the GIs were hardened combat veterans.
"They pretty well got out of hand, the men did. They were for killing every German they came across," Sparks said decades later in a Q&A with the Colorado Lawyer magazine.
Kershaw points out the SS — short for schutzstaffel, German for protection squadron — who were "lined up against that wall in Dachau were ironically not the SS guards that the guys firing on them thought they were."
The SS who had guarded Dachau had already fled, leaving other Germans from a nearby barracks to surrender the camp.
After the war, Sparks became a well-regarded lawyer in Colorado, even serving briefly on the state's Supreme Court. Some of his legal work helped protect Colorado's water rights, fitting work for a man who, according to Kirk Sparks, loved nature and once dreamed of becoming a park ranger.
Sparks also helped reorganize the Colorado Army National Guard and served for a time as its commanding general.

The Hoopcats could be in a bit of hot water for violating NCAA rules when it comes to scheduling.
According to NCAA Bylaw 18.104.22.168, Division One programs can only schedule four basketball games, including exhibitions, per season with teams from outside Division One.
UVM played exhibitions against St. Mikes and Concordia...plus regular season games versus Sonoma State and Lyndon State. That's four...but here's the kicker...America East newcomer UMass-Lowell is transitioning from Division Two to Division One this season. Lowell isn't eligible to compete in postseason play this season, so apparently, their games don't count as D-1 games in the eyes of the NCAA rules.
Vermont has already played Lowell once, and is scheduled to do so again in mid-February, which would give the Cats a total of six non-Division One games, two over the limit.
This issue popped up earlier this week in the Southland Conference, where teams from that league were forced to forfeit games to stay under that four game maximum. Vermont's problem is that it has already played five of those games. The school and Coach Becker had no comment on the issue today, other than to refer questions to the America East offices.
America East officials would not discuss this issue on camera but the conference did release a statement through Director of Communications Sean Tainsh which reads: "We are aware of the situation involving the Southland Conference programs and the NCAA bylaw restricting teams to playing no more than four non-Division One programs in a season and are looking into how they impacts any of our programs."

Suspected Boko Haram gunmen have kidnapped a further eight girls aged between 12 and 15-years-old from a village near one of their strongholds in north-east Nigeria overnight, police and residents have said.
A police source said the girls were taken away on trucks, along with looted livestock and food. The Islamist rebels are still holding more than 200 girls they abducted from a secondary school on 14 April.
"They were many, and all of them carried guns. They came in two vehicles painted in army colour. They started shooting in our village," Lazarus Musa, a resident of Warabe, where the attack happened, told Reuters.
"Many people tried to run behind the mountain but when they heard gun shots, they came back," Musa added. "The Boko Haram men were entering houses, ordering people out of their houses."

On Monday, the leader of Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the abduction of over 200 girls in a chilling video message, where he threatened to "sell them" into slavery or marriage.
"I abducted your girls," Abubakar Shekau said in the hour-long video. "By Allah, I will sell them in the marketplace," he continued, adding that the girls were being held as "slaves".
Boko Haram means 'Western education is forbidden' and the group has targeted various educational institutes across Nigeria. In the video, Shekau said the girls should not have been attending school and should get married instead.
The British Foreign Secretary William Hague has now offered "practical help" to help secure their release as he arrived for a Council of Europe meeting in Vienna.
"Our hearts go out to (the girls') families. I called the Nigerian foreign minister when this first arose back on Good Friday, in the middle of last month, to offer help from Britain, to express our concern," he said.
In an apparent bid to deflect criticism of the government's performance, Nigeria's First Lady allegedly ordered the arrest of Naomi Mutah Nyadar, one of the organisers of last week's protests in the capital, Abuja.Reuse content

Businesses may have systems to manage operations like work orders, accounting and even emails, but what about people? After all, depending on the industry, businesses can spend anywhere from 40 to 80 percent of their gross revenue on employee benefits and salaries, according to the worldwide organization Society for Human Resource Management*. In fact, salaries alone can make up 18 to 52 percent of an operating budget.
If employees are our biggest expenditure, why not ensure they are operating at the most efficient level possible? Enter workforce management systems, the solution many organizations are utilizing to increase productivity and planning while saving time and money.
Workforce management is a broad term used to cover a variety of tasks from performance management to employee forecasting, with business leaders examining the results for better decision making. For example, a field service workforce management solution could determine future demand, thus forecasting the number of work orders expected during a company's busy season. From there, the software could help optimize employee schedules and even the amount of parts and vehicles needed to execute the jobs, assigning work orders within predetermined work zones.
This streamlined approach to how leadership manages its workforce would help increase productivity, saving time, and ultimately saving the business money. That's not to mention the customers' satisfaction as employees can address more jobs, do so on time and arrive with a deluge of real-time information.
However, workforce management solutions aren't only a win-win for business leaders and customers, but also for employee morale. Rather than burn out the workforce by turning the productivity dial to the max, the new level of transparency and engagement has also shown to increase employee satisfaction. As businesses look to increase spend on IT services and jump deeper into digital operations, workforce management solutions are widely considered to be the top on the list of priorities.

my crumbled world
What happened when my world crumbled into pieces?My story, my tale,my struggles. What if you found out that the place you live in isn't where you belong, the place you call home isn't your home? Should you shout, scream, cry or do nothing and let the wind take you with it. The story of struggles and cruelty of this world.
Riana Hastings was a very unusual child. Born with intelligence and beauty yet was always afraid of left behind afraid of being stepped on afraid of being called a loser. Her interests, her likings she matched them with her surroundings not revealing her true feelings to anyone. She had a habit of lying to get out of a bad situation and she had gotten quite good at it. Keeping all her feelings locked inside no matter how much she wanted to cry she wouldn't cry only a smile could be seen on her face. All she ever wanted was to reach up to the expectations of the people surrounding her. For a fifteen year old she was considered a talented and amazing person by others.
It was march 2014 , finals were approaching. Riana had nothing to worry about she could get excellent marks without trying that hard.She had a lot of friends but no best friend. She was the youngest child and had two older brothers and two older sisters.She wasn't particularly close to any of them. Her family was a middle classed one. So she couldn't have everything she wanted but she was happy with what she had and worked hard for what she didn't.She used to come home from school with her friends. She had gotten quite popular at her school.Every student knew her , the teachers praised her everything seemed perfect. But this world is cruel it doesn't let anyone be happy for too long.
One day Riana was one her way back home when she saw a ver expensive black car parked in front of her house. It was strange as no one she or her family knew owned such a car nor could they. She rushed inside. She reached her hand to the front door . If only she had known if only she hadn't opened that door and had instead ran away somewhere that wouldn't have happened. But maybe it was already too late by then. You see you can't change your fate no matter how much you try you are always bound. And only after you find just how powerless you are do you realize that this is a cruel world

Long weekend GPS bargains
You've done your Christmas shopping and bought too much chocolate for Easter. It's hard to believe we're already in late April, but why not help your getaway planning this long weekend with a new GPS unit!
You've done your Christmas shopping and bought too much chocolate for Easter. It's hard to believe we're already in late April, but why not help your getaway planning this long weekend with a new GPS unit!
It's hard to believe Easter has crept up upon us already; it only seems like yesterday that we were doing our Christmas shopping! As Easter comes around, so do more holidays — and any time off work or school gets a big tick from us!
GPS navigation using mobile phones and smartphones is nothing new, but Apple's popular iPhone has made it much more common. With its built-in GPS receiver and a dedicated GPS navigation app, an iPhone can be used as a handy portable navigation unit.
With Christmas just around the corner, now is the time to start your long shopping list. We can hear you gritting your teeth already -- we hate the Christmas shopping crowds too. So why not beat the retail rush and grab a great bargain by shopping on...
Have you ever wondered why many people refuse to ask for directions but are completely at ease with using a GPS navigation device? Is it the fact that a GPS unit won't judge them for not knowing their way around? Is it because a GPS unit won't snigge...
Does your dad pride himself on being a great driver? He probably thinks that he knows his way around town without a street directory. No matter whether he's a top driver (or thinks he may be), he isn't as directionally capable as a GPS unit!

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Great natural mould killer!!

Great natural mould killer!!
We live in the tropics and bought this to spray over our things that have been covered with mould. Mixing one teaspoon to a litre of water in a spray bottle and applying to leather, canvas, tiles etc has worked wonderfully - and all natural with a beautiful smell too. Great price also. I highly recommend.

I received this product very quickly after ordering. I used the clove oil on a tooth ache which works perfectly. This is an old remedy from my childhood. I am now 66 years old and although the product is hard to find, it works the same as it always did. Thank you

I use this for cleaning showers to kill and prevent mould. This is a top quality oil at a very low price. Those with acne can try this for it's powerful antibacterial properties- make sure it is highly diluted though as it will irritate most skin types used neat or at a dilution of more than 10% clove oil. Excellent mixed with rosehip and apricot, or just one drop to your moisturiser

Kills nano-bacteria on artery walls

Research what 'nano-bacteria' is in your arteries. Has been found to cause arterial sclerosis. There are only two things on earth that kills nano-bacteria, 1. antibiotics and 2. CLOVE OIL. Use 2-3 drops per day, it put it in my morning coffee or ginger tea.

I hate "winter house smell" and no longer could find clove oil in the drug store. A few drops of this on a cotton ball on top of my heat duct and .. ta da- lovely smelling house. Great price and great scent.
Great product, excellent service
Posted by Reviewer1836445 on Aug 22, 2008 | Verified Purchase
Believe it or not, I ordered the clove oil to use in my art studio as a drying retardant for oil paint. It works very well and wafts a wonderful soothing fragrance throughout the room as a bonus! Fast shipping from iHerb made this transaction a very satisfying experience. I must mention also that the price was decent.

A little truly goes a long ways. And, has multible purposes. Add, just a few drops to hand lotion and perhaps protect yourself to catching scabies. In diluted form you can easily remove a tick. It has natural hydronic acid and another skin tonic. Just remember a little goes along ways. Do not use full strength
A little off
Posted by Reviewer1845502 on May 13, 2009 | Verified Purchase
I once had a bottle of a really nice clove oil that smelled very much like freshly ground whole spice - spicy and clean - an "edible" smell. This one has a bit of murky green notes to it, in addition to the spice. More like clove and crushed leaves. While the price was nice, this one wasn't what I was looking for.

Good Cable 03/30/2014
This review is from: Nippon Labs 1.5ft SATA3L-1.5FT-BU 1.5 ft. (1.5 ft.) 6.0Gbit/s SATA-III Cable w/Locking Latch Blue 1.5 feet- OEM
Not too stiff, good latch,
Other Thoughts:
Bought these cables to replace another brand purchased from Newegg where one cable out of 4 purchased failed within one week (wrote review on that one too). Very happy with these cables, especially the latch, which works much better than the failed brand. Will buy this cable again.

Sir Bob Phillis, former chief executive of the Guardian Media Group and former deputy director general of the BBC, described by Lord Puttnam as "one of the most decent human beings I've ever encountered", has died aged 64 after a long battle with cancer.
Alan Rusbridger, the Guardian's editor- in-chief, said: "The Guardian has lost a good friend."
Colleagues and friends from Phillis's long media career paid tribute to his straightforward nature, warmth and lack of arrogance – "in every respect a 'people person' in a business in which people and the quality of their relationships began to matter less and less", as Puttnam described him.
His career began as a printer's apprentice and stretched to four years at the BBC as deputy director general to John Birt, and at ITV where he ran Central Television and Carlton Communications before serving as chief executive and later a board member. He joined the Guardian in 1997 from the BBC and championed the expansion of the group into radio and new media, but retired in 2006 knowing he was ill.
Mark Thompson, director general of the BBC, said: "He will be remembered as an inspirational leader but also as a warm-hearted, loyal, friend and colleague. We will miss him enormously."
Rusbridger recalled: "Bob worked tirelessly for Guardian Media Group, full of experience, good humour, determination and a steady flow of wisdom."
Phillis's successor as chief executive, Carolyn McCall, described him as "an inspiration to me as he was to many others". Dame Liz Forgan, chair of the Scott Trust, which owns GMG, said: "He loved every part of the Guardian Media Group and was rightly proud of the contribution he made to harnessing the commercial success of the group to ensure the future of the Guardian and liberal journalism."

My employer tends to schedule training when I am schedule off or before my shift starts. She says they are mandatory and that all employees have to attend. She does not pay for the hours the training's are in session. I get paid hourly not salary.
If it is required of you by your employer, specifically needed for your job, your employer must pay you for your time. Generally, on the job training is compensable time.

My responses are intended for general information only.Ask a similar question
Mr. Kirschbaum is correct. Any time you are required to be at work you must be compensated. Your employer can require you to come in on your day off, but you must be paid for that time.
Good luck to you.

|[jira] Commented: (FILEUPLOAD-141) Remove FileItems if FileUploadBase.parseRequest() fails
|Tue, 24 Jul 2007 07:41:31 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FILEUPLOAD-141?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12514895 ] Marcus Klein commented on FILEUPLOAD-141: ----------------------------------------- I think that the commons-fileupload API is especially used in server environments. Hanging files are always an issue in server environments in my opinion. Every unused file descriptor wastes resources in a server environment that may lead to problems due to always limited system resources. Can you please explain the compatibility problems that will occur with my suggested changes? How could cause calling delete() on not referenced FileItem objects any problems? > Remove FileItems if FileUploadBase.parseRequest() fails > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FILEUPLOAD-141 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FILEUPLOAD-141 > Project: Commons FileUpload > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.2 > Environment: commons-fileupload is used for parsing multipart/form-data POST requests in servlets. > OS: Linux > Reporter: Marcus Klein > > If the method FileUploadBase.parseRequest() throws a FileUploadException, the already parsed FileItem objects are not accessible and removed by the garbage collector. Now expect a fileupload that fills the servers hard disc with FileItems until no space is left on the device. The method parseRequest() throws a FileUploadException and there are several FileItem objects that still exist in the device because the garbage collector does not run and removes them. This causes failing fileuploads until the garbage collector runs and removes the lost FileItem objects. I suggest calling FileItem.delete() on all FileItem objects created in the method FileUploadBase.parseRequest() if the method is left with a FileUploadException. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

Fresh off a first-place victory at the Beach to Bay Relay in Corpus Christi, the 35-year-old runner is the strong favorite to win the local 5K event. He figures to break the 14:40 mark, which should be the fastest time unless another world-class runner makes a last-minute arrival. "I've heard (Erie) Polonsky may be there, but I'd be surprised if he does make it," said Reina, a nationally-ranked marathon runner and member of the New Braunfels Running Club. "It will be a competitive field either way. This is my fourth time and it's always a great race." The Three Parks Run, sponsored by the New Braunfels Running Club and Schlitterbahn Water Park, begins at 8 a.m. at the intersection of Liberty and Common streets. More than 300 runners are expected to lace up their sneakers and cover the 3.1 -mile course along Hinman Island Drive and the nearby neighborhoods of Edgewater, Klingcman and Dallas streets. Also scheduled Saturday is a 5K competitive walk, Kids IK and Wheelchair Kids I/2K. Following the race, runners can bid for items in an open auction and enjoy free refreshments. The post-race schedule also includes an awards ceremony and music with emcee Paul McLaughlin. Proceeds from the race, which is dedicated in memory of former NBRC member Mary Ann' Phillips, will go to Hospice New Braunfels and for funding cancer research. Phillips was an avid runner and inspiration to local runners until her death from breast cancer in October of 1993. "This is the final chapter in honoring her," said daughter-in-law Susan Phillips, president of the NBRC. "She was a popular fixture at all the local races. We want to continue remembering her courage in the fight against cancer." The Three Parks Run annually draws big running names such as Randy Reina, brother Ruben Reina, Roger Soler and Paul Perrone. Reina said the Schlitterbahn 5K will be a tune up and upcoming 8K in San Diego on June IO. If he fares well there, he plans to enter the Peachtree I OK in Atlanta, GA, where many of the top marathon runners in the world will converge. His long-range goal for 1995 is to run in the Chicago Marathon in October. Though considered predominantly a I OK runner, Reina is a veteran of the New York Marathon and the Houston Marathon, both in which he has clocked times under 2 hours 16 minutes. His personal best in the 26-mile course is 2 hours 14 minutes. "Marathons are more of a hit and miss," said Reina who will mn Saturday for sponsor Dan D. Phillips, Inc. "With a 5K or a I OK, I know exactly what I can do." Jose Iniguez, a close friend of Reina and a world-class runner in his own right, will be on hand at the Three Parks Run, though he is readying for Sunday's Gardina Invitational in California. 'TU be in New Braunfels Saturday but only to watch," said Iniguez, an NBRC member and recent qualifier for the U.S. Olympic Trials. "I am looking forward to seeing many top runners." Other long-distance athletes are expected to give Reina a mn for his money. Robert Yara and Juan Bernal are two main threats. The women's field will be headed by Natalie Nepela, last year's winner, and Carmen Troncoso of Austin. Phillips credited many local volunteers for contributing to the race. Sherrie Brammall, public relations director for Schlitterbahn and Rick Faber, marketing director, were instrumental in procuring donations for the auction. Employees and volunteers of Hospice New Braunfels generously contributed time and effort to the event. Randy Reina, of San Antonio, is the strong favorite to defend his title at the 1995 Schlitterbahn Three Parks 5K. He finished in a time of 15:04 last year. More than 300 runners are expected to compete in Saturday's race which begins at Common and Liberty streets in New Braunfels. Herald-Zeitung file photo Three Parks 5K Run £ ] I?

The Rockets prevailed 100-95. HOUSTON (AP) — lite I-10 series between Houston and San Antonio is over, and the Spurs are road kill. Perhaps no team has had a more precarious or improbable route to the NBA Finals than the Rockets. They were defending champions. But after a sixth-place finish in the Western Conference, nobody gave the Rockets much of a chance for a repeat title. Now, after coming back from the brink of elimination against Utah and Phoenix, Houston has disposed of San Antonio, the team with the league's best record, and is headed back to the Finals. "Once again, we proved all the doubters wrong," Houston's Sam Cassell said. 'This ball club is a playoff team. When the playoffs come, we know what to do."

It took six tries, but finally the home team won a game, and Houston won the best-of-7 series 4-2. "I'm probably the proudest man in the world," Houston coach Rudy Tom- janovich said. "I don't want to take anything away from last year. It was special. I don't want to tarnish that, but right now this was better." As usual, Hakeem Olajuwon was magnificent. He had 39 points, 17 rebounds and five blocked shots. In six games against the league's MVP, David Robinson, Olajuwon averaged 35.3 points and 12.5 rebounds. The showdown between these two Texas towers was no contest. Olajuwon's play made his fifth-place finish in this year's MVP voting seem ridiculous. "I've never seen anyone on this planet play like this guy," Houston's Clyde Drexler said. "He is phenomenal, night in and night out. He does it so easily people come to expect it. That's the ultimate." Drexler, the Rocket without a championship ring, had a rough start Thursday night, but he made big plays down the stretch and finished with 16 points and IO rebounds.Astros draft teen sensation pitcher HOUSTON (AP) — Tony McKmght's no stranger to the Houston Astros brass. "I've known Tony for a long time," said Astros' scout Chuck Edmondson. "! know what kind of ability he has and I know about his background. He's the type we'd like to have. He's definitely got big league potential:" So it came as no surpnse when the Askos selected right-handed pitcher from Arkansas High Sch(x)l in Texarkana, Ark., in Thursday's opening round of the 1995 amateur draft. McKnighl, 18, was the 22nd selection overall. In 14 games this season, McKnighl went 9-2 with a 0.79 ERA and 130 strikeouts in 74 innings. The 6-5, 220-pounder has been selected a prep All-American twice. McKnighl earned Most Valuable Player of the 1994 Stale High School Championships. Arkansas High was the 1994 state champion and finished second in the 1995 tournament. McKnight's fastball has been clocked at 95 mph, and Astros scouting director Dan O'Brien said he "lends to pilch comfortably" in tile range of 89-92 mph. "He has a gixxJ arm and good stuff, and the young man throws strikes," O'Brien said. "He has the potential to develop an excellent curveball." Top team Submitted photo The Atlanta Bravettes finished second overall in the New Braunfels Girls' Softball Association (7 and 8-year-old division) with a record of 12-4. The team was the preseason tournament champion. The Bravettes players are: (from bottom, left) Cassie Craft, Rebecca Garcia, Lecia Bradshaw, Ashley Davila (All-Star), Casandra Aguirre. Michelle Reininger, Teresa Carrera (All-Star), Stefanie Paramoure, Teddy Bushey (All-Star), Shanna Watts, Andrea Juarez, assistant coach Donna Williams, coach Rodney Paramoure. The team was sponsored by Sunbelt Cement.Rangers select Seminole hurler By DENNE H. FREEMAN AP Sports Writer DALLAS (AP) — Florida State pitcher Jonathan Johnson isn't expecting to wait long before reaching the major leagues. The Texas Rangers selected the junior right-hander as its first-round pick and the seventh overall in the amateur draft Thursday. Johnson didn't say how much of a bonus he will see from the Rangers in contract negotiations. But he appears to be a young man in a hurry. "When they put this kind of money into a player, they don't expect to waste my time and their time in the minors," he said. "Going to a team that wants to better itself and get me there quick, I couldn't have painted a prettier picture," he said. In his junior year, the Ocala, Fla., preacher's son is 11 -3 with a 2.95 ERA going into today's opening round of the College World Series in Omaha, neb. In three seasons at Florida State, Johnson was 33-5 with a 2.61 ERA and 386 strikeouts in 354 1-3 innings. He pitched 16 scoreless innings in the ACC tournament and beat Clemson which also reached the CWS. Although his fastball has fair velocity and good movement, Rangers pitching coach Dick Bosnian says Johnson's money pitch is said to be his curveball. rn ;

Orlando City shuts out Antigua, remains atop division
ORLANDO, Fla. - Orlando City Soccer Club claimed their ninth victory of the season, moving further ahead in the USL PRO table by defeating Antigua Barracuda FC 2-0 on Sunday night in front of 6,148 fans at the Florida Citrus Bowl. Kieron Bernard scored his first goal of the year and Matt Luzunaris added the second of the match in stoppage time to give Orlando the victory.
"Overall I was pleased with the result," said Orlando City Head Coach Adrian Heath. "The game was very one-sided all evening. I'm happy with the win and now we'll look toward Friday and the game against Harrisburg."
Orlando (9-1-2) got on the scoreboard first with the help of a Kieron Bernard header. After a Kevin Molino shot was punched away out by Antigua (2-8-0) Goalkeeper Molvin James, Luke Boden sent in a corner for Orlando. The Sheffield, England, native found a leaping Bernard in front the Antigua goal, to give Orlando the early 1-0 advantage in the 14th minute and Bernard his first goal of the season.
Orlando's defense kept the Antigua attack in check throughout the evening. Led by Goalkeeper Miguel Gallardo and his fourth shutout of the 2012 season, the City defense was on point all night. Gallardo made four saves on 14 shots faced to lead the Orlando back line in an impressive showing by the City defense. Kyle Davies was especially solid for the Lions, cutting off attack after attack.
Orlando Forward Matt Luzunaris put the game on ice for the Lions extra time of the second half with a strike of his own. After being sprung by Ian Fuller, Luzunaris gave himself extra space before sliding a far-post strike past James. It was Luzunaris's first goal since returning from an illness that had the forward miss three matches.
With the victory, Orlando now holds a five point advantage over the rest of the USL PRO table. The Charleston Battery are in second place, a team whom Orlando defeated last week by a score of 2-1 at the Citrus Bowl.
The Lions continue their home stand as the Harrisburg City Islanders come to town this Friday, June 22. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. Friday marks the first time the two clubs have met since the 2011 USL PRO Championship back on September 3, 2011. Orlando City defeated Harrisburg 3-2 on penalty kicks after finishing the match tied 2-2 in regulation to capture the league title.

Can someone please explain just what in the wide world of sports the Pittsburgh Steelers front office is doing?
Less than a week after they decided to match a $2.5 million dollar offer by New England for number three receiver and oft-injured Emmanuel Sanders, the team is now faced with a similar situation with a guy they apparently valued a hell of a lot less than the fans and most certainly other teams. Steelers nose tackle Steve McLendon reportedly visited with the Green Bay Packers and should he sign an offer sheet, the Steelers are in no position to match. This would leave them with basically no one at nose tackle unless you count troubled second-year man Alameda Ta'amu.
Because the Steelers tendered McLendon at the ridiculously low rate of $1.3 million rather than $2 million, this means the Steelers will more than likely get nothing in return should he sign a sheet with the Packers. Had they signed him for just $700,000 more they could have at least received compensation in the form of a draft pick but not now.
The Packers must act soon as the deadline for restricted free agents is the 19th. If the Steelers were to match it would have to come with another roster move more than likely because they are less than a million bucks under the cap.
The bigger issue is something even the most die-hard Steelers' fan must start to realize and that is that this is not your father's Steelers' organization. Since this team lost the AFC Wild-Card game at Denver in January of 2012, the team parted ways with offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, went 8-8 and has seen two significant departures from the coaching staff. Offensive line coach Sean Kugler and receivers coach Scottie Montgomery both left for the college ranks. New Offensive Coordinator Todd Haley has been polarizing without really even trying as those loyal to Arians balked at Haley's short passing game offense.
Starters Rashard Mendenhall, Mike Wallace, Keenan Lewis, James Harrison and Willie Colon have departed. Sanders nearly left and now you have an up and coming not to mention potential starter in McLendon days away from leaving as well. So I ask, what is going on in the front office?
Is it Art Rooney II? Is it General Manager Kevin Colbert? Is it cap guru Omar Khan? Is it Mike Tomlin?
Actually, it appears to be all of them working together right now in a uniquely strange dance that has all of us mystified. This is not an over-reaction on my part because this is pretty tame for me and if you are sitting there saying, "I trust the Rooneys" and "everything will be fine," then we are clearly seeing two different things at the moment. Because I question what the organization is doing does not make me an expert or a know-it-all. It makes me a realist who is unafraid to call things like I see them.
The Rooneys have long been one of the most stable and most respected owners in all of professional sports but that doesn't mean they are safe from criticism when it is warranted. Right now, it is warranted. The mere case of McLendon's low tender alone screams of organizations like the Lions or Browns, not the Steelers. We don't make those types of mistakes do we?
I have news for you. Apparently we do and right now the only thing that should save the job of Kevin Colbert is a draft for the ages. The Steelers must pull players that can have immediate impacts and long-term potential or else off-seasons like this one will become the norm. If that's the case I'd rather tumble down a ski jump while someone says "the agony of defeat…."

Thanks for the explanation benalexau.
I've tried starting ib-tws in demo mode and it keeps hanging after the splash screen displays "Processing startup parameters...".
Any ideas?
benalexau commented on 2017-01-11 22:29
All AUR packages are hosted in an AUR-specific Git repository. Details are at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository. You can access any AUR's repository via clicking the "View Changes" link at the top of the package's AUR page.
Thanks for reporting the checksum issue. Our friends at Interactive Brokers released 962.2c at least twice, each with different hash codes. My scripts (themselves in the aforementioned AUR repository) run daily and only update the AUR package if both the "latest" tarball and the version number extracted from the associated execution log differ from the existing PKGBUILD. Given IB failed to increment the version number despite releasing a tarball with different contents, this explains why the package was not updated to reflect the new hash code.
I wish IB would follow best practice and include a version number in the HTTP path, and treat file releases as immutable (ie have a staging environment to test and promote releases, incrementing the version number if a release was promoted in error). Until then we have to struggle with these hacky workarounds...
goodboy commented on 2017-01-11 21:48
benalexau I needed 'c4fb512c612bfddf45f0324ce63a4bc6' to make it work.
Is there somewhere that changes can be pushed (i.e. is the PKGBUILD hosted on github)?
benalexau commented on 2017-01-11 04:32

As per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_class_file internal version 52 means Java 8. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Java for info on the various Java packages available for Arch (I use package jdk8-openjdk).
NyanCat commented on 2016-06-27 22:58
Thank you very much. I still had problems with the installation because the jar command was missing. It was necessary to switch from "java-8-openjdk/jre" to "java-7-openjdk" using the archlinux-java command.
But now starting ib-tws fails with an exception: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: jclient/LoginFrame : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0
I will do some research later. I guess it's because I'm using awesome as window manager.
benalexau commented on 2016-06-22 02:16
Hi NyanCat. IB made three changes to the installer and launch model, so the automatic sync scripts required more TLC (click "View Changes" if you're curious). The scripts have now been amended and as such auto-sync should work again. 956.2n is now available from AUR.
NyanCat commented on 2016-06-21 22:44
Hi benalexau, the md5sum of tws-latest-standalone-linux-x64.sh seems to be out of date again. Maybe you can fix it?
ibizaman commented on 2016-02-16 06:01
Finally everything did not went well. As you can see in the output log here: https://gist.github.com/ibizaman/23b6482e742360cae0c5, it failed at the end although I really do not see where is the problem - there's no error line as far as I can see. Do you have a guess?
EDIT: okay found it.
In fact, with the new makepkg release, you cannot build anymore as root. So I ran the makepkg step as the nobody user and that made the install fail like in the log. This is because the nobody user has no $HOME directory assigned and thus it tries to install in weird folders.
ibizaman commented on 2016-02-16 04:17
Thanks again. How can they even think about making it so painful...
benalexau commented on 2016-02-15 22:41
The auto update script has been pretty reliable for nearly a year, but a few months back IB fundamentally changed the TWS installer model. They now use Install4J, bundle a JRE and require a GUI installer. I've adjusted the scripts to handle these major changes, but sometimes IB publishes a new archive (so a different MD5) but the same version number (!), which my automatic scripts fail to detect. Anyhow I have manually updated the package, so you should be good to install now.
ibizaman commented on 2016-02-15 22:17
Hi, me again. This time the install failed while checking tws-latest-standalone-linux-x64.sh's md5 checksum.
ibizaman commented on 2015-03-06 06:38
Thanks! I thought it could only happen because the .tar.gz was updated. Didn't think about other stuff that could go bad.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your packages, they really are awesome!
benalexau commented on 2015-03-06 03:00
All updated.
I've setup a daily cron job to run https://github.com/benalexau/ib-tws/blob/master/upload. We'll see if it works. I hadn't done so previously as about 1 in 10 times it fails (URL moves, Java version changes etc) and requires manual intervention.
ibizaman commented on 2015-03-05 22:35
New md5sum is: 4da642796c073c3c089eac3541d5667d.
Is there a way to update the md5sum automatically?

@ibizaman, all updated. Thanks for the heads up.

Hey, me again! The md5sum is again out of date, here's the new one: dab03fbc4aa0ae43e6c8e7f1d4a99a65

@benalexau just tested now and it works fine. Thanks for the quick response!

@ibizaman thanks for letting me know. The automated update scripts had detected this and attempted to upload a new PKGBUILD via burp, but burp now enforces the new https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Metadata requirements and failed the upload without returning a suitable exit code. Anyhow I have fixed the upload and also modified the automated package maintenance script in commit https://github.com/benalexau/ib-tws/commit/db2ff7b7f6f4488e5e9e58e18a506e8b1b6d1cbc. Thanks again for the report.

@ishanarora, IB Gateway is now supported (both with a desktop icon and shell script). I also updated the package to fetch from IB's new "latest" version URI. Hope you find the package useful.

Please add support for ib-gateway in the same PKGBUILD.
