|BlueShore Financial's employee cultural brand book
Let's face it: The traditional financial services world we have known well for many years is in massive transformation. As consumers embrace new mobile technologies, wean gradually away from branch teller transactions, and consider new online competitors as they materialize, the financial industry is rushing headfirst into a fusion of online, digital, branch and social media channels that are reshaping how we retain members, compete and grow.
This new world of smartphones, tablets, Twitter and video tellers, raises the bar even higher for how we manage our brand reputation and position our CUs to stand apart in a highly commoditized—and now increasingly wired—financial industry.
|BlueShore Financial CEO Chris Catliff in one of the trademarked Financial Spa branches
So how do you find meaningful brand distinction and a compelling value proposition that's unique and appealing? You start by looking inside first.
One key to helping your credit union step to the next level of competitive external brand differentiation and healthy member growth is to first ensure you are defining, evolving and clearly articulating a unified brand strategy internally across your entire enterprise. Armed with a distinct and compelling value proposition and relevant messaging aligned to all your staff, it can then be linked across every physical, digital and social touch point to ensure your brand is helping you stand apart externally, while unifying your culture.
Gallup researchers Jai Gill and David Helvadjian found, while analyzing financial brand distinction among consumers, that "44 percent of all banks and financial institutions are about the same"; and only 7 percent of consumers believed any one bank was better.
However, what the researchers found that set financial institutions apart surprised them. Put simply, they found that marketing and technology alone won't drive meaningful distinction; it's the member-facing employees who deliver the brand via consistent actions.
In our work building distinctive brand strategies among hundreds of credit unions across the U.S. and Canada, our agency has demonstrated repeatedly that a clear brand strategy—not a new "look and feel"—can become a catalyst of positive organizational change. It inspires a culture to deliver a unique, compelling and consistent brand promise and actions that create rich and consistent brand experiences for members and prospects.
More Than a Logo
|Trailhead CU's new logo identity
Transformation does not come from words, a fresh new logo, a beautiful new website or look and feel alone. It comes from intentional focus on engaging employees in shaping the future brand: from developing cross-functional engagement teams, to implementing dynamic new brand training, consistent and simple brand messaging, and rich storytelling.
CUES member Chris Catliff, CEO of $3.2 billion/40,000-member BlueShore Financial in North Vancouver, British Columbia, who embarked on an enterprise-wide premium brand strategy years ago, shares this note: "Our choreographed five-star brand experience is backed by expert financial advice and personalized, proactive solutions, delivered across all channels consistently. That includes our financial spa branches, call center, online and mobile environments, which are all fully integrated."
Catliff's proudest achievement, though, sums it up: "Without our incredibly engaged employees, our premium brand experience and record growth could never have been achieved." BlueShore Financial has been named one of Canada's 10 Most Admired Corporate Cultures and achieved double-digit growth for 10 straight years.
Increased staff satisfaction, an intended byproduct of reshaping internal cultural brand focus, leads to higher engagement and retention, which directly hits your bottom line. National estimates from SHRM peg the cost of replacing employees at 50-400 percent of their annual salary (do the math for your CU!).
This search for culture and even relevant workplace meaning has never been more important than in managing, rewarding and retaining the new generation of Millennial workers, now approaching 30-35 percent of the workforce. A 2013 study by Bentley University Center for Women & Business, showed that 84 percent of Millenials say "making a difference in the world is more important than personal recognition." Closing the gap from "engaged employees" to brand leading, passionate, values-driven staff can lead to "brand evangelists."
Effective branding and staff alignment also pay off in higher member satisfaction, Net Promoter® Scores and organic growth. Highly engaged employees drive richer, more focused member brand experiences. They lead to increased member engagement, deeper profitable relationship building, renewed brand experiences and, ultimately, market share growth. According to Bain & Company research, on average an industry's NPS leader outgrew its competitors by a factor greater than two times.
Excite Employees First
The entire board, management team and staff at $100 million/6,000-member Trailhead Credit Union, Portland, Ore., went through a six-month strategic, cultural and creative process, conducting workshops, employee surveys and focus groups to articulate the CU's brand and culture.
"The leadership team wanted to build a brand that would excite employees first—a brand that would resonate as authentic and identifiable, representing something the entire staff could stand behind," says Karen McGaughey, Weber Marketing Group's VP/client services. "The new tagline, 'Small Enough to Know Better,' captures Trailhead's highly personal philosophy and lines up with their young, distinctive Portland urbanite lifestyle."
|Trailhead CU tattoo station
The new brand bucks conformity to capture a unique and unconventional Portland vibe. For example, the logo changes color to fit the environment in which it is used. Located in a city known for its microbrew culture, the CU has offered free beer tastings. And it hands out temporary tattoos, which members unabashedly share via Facebook and Twitter.
Since Trailhead CU's brand launch in June 2013, the results speak for themselves. After more than seven years of no new member growth and slow loan and checking growth, the credit union has set growth records for new members (especially Millennial borrowers), loans, branch and Web traffic, and new checking every month since launching its new brand. This January alone, net monthly new memberships, compared to the year prior, increased 536 percent from 25 to 134; lending increased 344 percent from $385,000 to $1,328,000 and website traffic is up 28 percent.
According to Trailhead CU VP/Marketing Kim Faucher, employee engagement, morale and pride have never been higher. A new casual dress code was embraced to support the brand.
Employees and even board members are supporting local businesses and proudly display their "be who you are tattoos." They have turned employees into raving brand advocates and some members are close behind.
|Brand ad celebrates individuality in the fiercely independent Portland metro market
Trailhead CU's new brand strategy, design and standards are clear, unique and owned by every stakeholder who lives it out every day with total consistency. One Trailhead CU member tweeted, "L-O-V-E the rebranding. I'm sure you will increase your membership. Smart move and investment." Results like that show how much louder actions speak in successful branding than words and pictures alone.
7 Questions to Ask
So how do you know if your CU's brand is on target and effective, or overdue for a brand refresh or strategy update? Here are seven questions to ask how healthy your organizational brand program is today:
1. Are you regularly growing younger Millennial members and borrowers who are drawn to your brand?
2. Do all managers and employees understand what your brand is and how to live it out? Can they express your differentiating brand position (if you have one, do you?).
3. Is your name, brand or image confusing, or in need of a boost?
4. Do you have strong brand guidelines that unify your brand promise? Do you have consistent key messages, personality, tone of voice, style and imagery across all channels?
5. Is there a well-defined value proposition, or relevant core values that are communicated consistently in all communications, or do you often turn to rates and low fees to stand apart?
6. Are your digital, online, mobile and social media strategies all growing and aligned behind a unified and well-branded member experience?
7. Do your branch interiors, product information, member experiences, ATMs and digital media all express the best of your brand and online message platform?
Brand leaders challenge the status quo of their brand position constantly, instead of settling for thinking their static brand is doing fine.
They know delivering "good," or "friendly" service is not a competitive differentiator; it is simply the "table stakes" level everyone must provide. Uniting your brand and your team toward a higher brand vision and market distinction can transform your culture.
As Tom's Shoes CEO Blake Mycoskie says, "I realized the importance of having a story today is what really separates companies. People don't just wear our shoes; they tell our story."
Manage Experiences
The rapid shift to mobile and online virtual experiences requires careful management and evolution of your brand philosophy, but also of carefully linking your user experiences across all channels consistently.
To engineer transformational changes, you'll need to align all brand experiences, design and content across channels: online (responsive Web, mobile and tablet integrated user experience, or UX design); in-person (new branch model prototyping); in print (unique branded content and digital—over traditional—collateral); social media (video and storytelling); and interactive media (search engine optimization, search engine marketing and digital campaigns). Weave them together into a seamless and unique user experience with a shared and distinctive brand personality, tone of voice and style, and then combine with personal "brand storytelling" to reshape perceptions.
Stellar brand experiences like the hospitality of the Four Seasons is delivered beautifully online and in person like a symphony of musicians aligned behind a melodic musical score. No detail is missed to ensure total satisfaction of guests to win their enduring advocacy and storytelling. That brand integration occurs just as tightly behind the scenes to ensure a personalized, unique and powerful focus on each guest's individual needs and wants.
Amidst explosive technology shifts and the rise of new financial competitors, it's time to think carefully about assessing the state of your brand perceptions and strategy both internally and externally.
Managing and evolving distinctive user experiences and improving your cultural brand focus and alignment can make the difference between who stays the course and whose brand thrives in this new digital world. Is it time to assess the state of your brand?

Naomi Campbell Talks Diets & Cigarettes in Shape April 2014
Taking time away from the set of her hit series "The Face," Naomi Campbell garnered herself a little added exposure by covering the April 2014 issue of Shape magazine.
While rocking a few poses in a sexy black swimsuit for the publication's spread, the 43-year-old supermodel dished about everything from her not-so-strict diet to fighting her cigarette cravings.
Check out a few highlights from Miss Campbell's Q&A session below. For more, be sure to visit Shape!
On her smoking addiction:
"People told me that cigarettes are harder to quit than alcohol. I didn't believe it, but you know? It is harder. I'm not someone who wants to light up inside people's homes, including my own, and I don't want to stand outside on street corners anymore. It's still a struggle. In fact, just talking about it makes me crave on, so let's stop please! But I am really trying."
On her career woes:
"I learned if you don't accept no for an answer, you often get a yes."
On her diet and workout routine:
"I don't believe in starving myself. I've never done it, and I never will. I'm even more acting when I'm juicing, doing both yoga and Pilates every day."

Explainer: Are Fact-Checkers Keeping Politicians More Honest?
Did you hear anything in the last Republican debate that pricked your ears?
A statistic about job creation in Texas, or evidence of the Obama administration's failed economic policies, that sounded a little off? Without doing an extensive amount of digging, you probably would have had to wait at least a day to find what you were looking for: Whether the thing you heard the politician say was true or false.
By that time, it's not necessarily the newspapers or the networks that would have an answer wrapped up for you in a neat little package, objective and easy to understand. It would be small, third-party fact-checking websites.
Such moments abound at this point in the election cycle. Everyone's touting their records and trying to undermine their opponents'. The sources vary, the particular charges vary, and the framing of each accusation or talking point varies.
If you're curious and engaged enough in politics, you may have googled each suspect claim you heard last night right then and there. You may have found reporters tweeting or live-blogging quotes, and an hour later you might have found those quotes in an article.
But without doing an extensive amount of digging, you probably would have had to wait at least a day to find what you were looking for: Whether the thing you heard the politician say was true or false. By that time, it's not necessarily the newspapers or the networks that would have an answer wrapped up for you in a neat little package, objective and easy to understand. It would be small, third-party fact-checking websites.
Keeping politicians honest—it's a role that major journalistic outlets rarely have the time and capacity to play anymore.
Are politicians lying more?
Fact-checking has grown from a cottage industry to a competitive corner of the journalism market, with sites like PolitiFact and FactCheck getting hundreds of thousands of page views a day. Are politicians lying more, or are traditional media outlets falling down on the job?
The better question might be, are we thinking about modern journalism the wrong way?
It's not so much that the average politician is a bigger liar—it's that they have infinitely more opportunities to lie, or simply to make an error. A 24-hour news cycle and a 24-month campaign cycle yield countless sound bytes per politician per day. Elected officials are almost always on, and they're almost always mic'd. Add blogging and tweeting to the equation, and the internet practically becomes a grease trap for every word that comes out of a politician's mouth.
It's impossible in these circumstances that everything a pol says is absolutely true. But it is possible in these circumstances to evaluate certain statements—the ones that distort policies or records, the ones that they use to garner support for a cause, the ones that they use to get elected—for their factual accuracy. Politicians aren't necessarily lying more than ever, but it's easier than ever for us to tell when they are.
If it's easier than ever, why do we need third-party sites like FactCheck to investigate truth in message? Why isn't every reporter fact-checking the statements they're reporting?
Maybe because they can't, or couldn't—or shouldn't even try.
Adair's epiphany
Bill Adair admits that as a political reporter for the St. Petersburg Times, he didn't see fact-checking as his primary role. Eventually, that bothered him.
"I have done a lot of political reporting in the past, but I had not done hardly any fact-checking," Adair says. "And I felt guilty. I felt that I had allowed the people I'd covered to say things that, at the time, I suspected were probably wrong, but felt like it was not the role of the [political] journalist to fact check them."
The tipping point came during the 2004 presidential election. Adair remembers covering the Republican National Convention that year.
"[Senator] Zell Miller gave a speech attacking John Kerry about supposedly voting against defense, and I knew that all the things Zell Miller was talking about were overwhelmingly a matter of the difference between Republican and Democratic bills," Adair says. "They put up these bills so the other side can vote against them, and then they say 'Aha! We got you. You voted against defense.' I knew that the things Zell Miller was talking about were not substantive, but they were portrayed that way in his speech, and I didn't fact-check it."
(The 2004 election would turn out to be a watershed moment for fact-checking. Questionable justifications for the Iraq war, the "swift-boating" of John Kerry, Dick Cheney's involvement with Halliburton—distortions ran rampant. FactCheck popped up during the election cycle, and in 2005 NewsTrust came into existence as well.)
In 2007, when the St. Petersburg Times was gearing up for the 2008 presidential election, Bill Adair pitched the idea of an online fact-checking arm of the paper's news coverage, a service that would track things that politicians like Zell Miller said and rate how true they were. Four years later, Adair is the editor of PolitiFact, a website with 32 full-time journalists nationwide and six-figure daily page views.
Too much work for the average reporter
There's still exponentially more reporting than there is fact-checking; while the St. Petersburg Times enlisted a team of dedicated fact-checkers, not every news outlet followed suit. That's because reporting and fact-checking don't always go hand-in-hand, or doing both isn't always affordable—if that feels weird to read on a news website, it is. We're getting kind of "meta" here.
The notion that reporters aren't arbiters of truth may be conceptually difficult, and it definitely challenges the way most people think about consuming information. In the new media landscape, you might turn to a major establishment like the New York Times to see the latest thing that Rick Perry said, but it's likely you'd have to go to a different, smaller website to get a detailed analysis of whether what he said was true or false.
Perhaps reporters can't be fact-checkers. "We've all got too much work to do and too many assignments that you have to pick and choose," Bill Adair says, reflecting on his time in the field. "I was there [in 2004] to cover the campaign, what these guys were saying...Political reporters focus on their stuff and figure that someone else will do the fact-checking."
The modern news cycle gives politicians way more chances to stretch the truth, but it also stretches reporters thin, giving them far less time to investigate the avalanche of claims they record at every press conference. The St. Petersburg Times needed to employ journalists whose sole purpose would be checking facts; covering politics day-to-day would be left to other reporters. Not every newspaper can afford to do that, or is willing to make the investment.
When Bill Adair heard Zell Miller say things like, "John Kerry would let Paris decide when America needs defending," he was too busy covering the event and writing the story to go into why such claims were inaccurate. At the time, however, FactCheck was able to pick up the slack, publishing the very corrections that Adair had imagined.
The fracturing of these responsibilities may be for the best, but it also requires an audience willing to dig beyond the daily reportage.
Are audiences listening?
The truth is that most audiences aren't going to take the time to consult a variety of sources. Marjorie Hershey, a professor of political science at Indiana University, says that makes it difficult to get fact-checking information to the masses.
"Many people who agree with the general political orientation of the person who's making that claim will not take the time to find out if it's true, and the segmentation of media audiences allows people who want to get their news entirely from one political perspective to be entirely free of fact-checking," Hershey says. "Most people who read blogs, for instance, choose to read only blogs that represent one side of political debate—strongly liberal or strongly conservative."
Everyone has a right to choose their source for information, Hershey observes, regardless of fairness or accuracy. News is a free market; if the audience doesn't care that what they're reading hasn't been fact-checked, or could be spun by the outlet, or may dispense with objectivity, then so be it. If your hierarchy of needs as an information consumer puts reinforcing your views ahead of evaluating the soundness of your views, you're less likely to look at a site like PolitiFact.
That seems to be the case for most of us: CNN, Fox News, Huffington Post, and many other news/editorial sites smash fact-checking sites in terms of traffic and page views.
The information contained in fact-checking sites isn't just useful for the average consumer, though. "I don't think most people take the time to look at fact-checking sites," Hershey says, "but the candidates' opponents do, and they can spread the corrected information."
Victories for the fact-checkers
Indeed, there's some anecdotal evidence that people in high places are listening to fact-checkers. That may be just as important, if not more important, than getting the ear of a consumer.
During a vice presidential debate in 2004, Dick Cheney said that a FactCheck story had "defended his tenure while CEO of Halliburton". (FactCheck, however, published a correction subsequently, claiming Cheney distorted the website's claims—and also called them a .com URL, when they're actually .org)
Bill Adair remembers an instance where PolitiFact may have gotten President Obama to edit one of his talking points.
"In February of 2008, he gave a speech at T.C. Williams high school in Alexandria, Virginia, where he said gas prices were the highest they've ever been," Adair says. "He was wrong; they were higher, when you control for inflation, back in 1981." PolitiFact gave him a "False" for that on their Truth-O-Meter.
Adair recognizes that correlation doesn't necessarily equal causation, but he takes what happened next as a small victory for the site. "The next night, when [Obama] came to the part in his speech where he says that line, he said it correctly."
Earlier this year, PolitiFact gave The Daily Show's Jon Stewart a "False" for saying that Fox News viewers were "the most consistently misinformed media viewers" according to "every poll". The next night, Stewart addressed the correction.
"You see examples like that and plenty more where we have gone to someone with a false statement, and they'd be like, 'We'll change this right now,'" Adair continues. "There have been a fair number of examples where people have changed what they're saying."
Journalism, not activism
Bill Adair may consider these victories, but he doesn't think of himself as a crusader.
"My goal is not to get politicans to stop lying," Adair says. "Fundamentally, it is the role of journalists to hold public officials accountable for their words...If there's less lying, that's great; but I'm a journalist, not an activist."
It's strange that reporting the truth could make people mistake you for an activist. One could lament dividing labor between reporters and fact-checkers—the proliferation of information without a comparable proliferation of fact-checking. But we may have to settle for an imperfect synergy, rather than charge every reporter with the Sisyphean task of making sure the words they transcribe are true.
"If Speaker Boehner says that the president's jobs bill won't help, and the president says it will, it would be almost impossible for journalists to reach a conclusion as to which one is 'right,'" Marjorie Hershey says. "I think the journalist's job in that case is to present both views and probe both speakers as fully as possible to be able to report the evidence for their view."
If we need third-party fact-checkers to do the probing, so be it.

City of Monash
Service age groups
The City of Monash had a lower proportion of pre-schoolers and a higher proportion of persons at post retirement age than Greater Melbourne in 2011.
The Age Structure of the City of Monash provides key insights into the level of demand for age based services and facilities such as child care. It is an indicator of the City of Monash's residential role and function and how it is likely to change in the future.
Service age groups divide the population into age categories that reflect typical life-stages. They indicate the level of demand for services that target people at different stages in life and how that demand is changing.
To get a more complete picture the City of Monash's Age Structure should be viewed in conjunction with Household Types and Dwelling Types.
Derived from the Census question:
'What is the person's date of birth (or age last birthday)?'
Total population
Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, Census of Population and Housing (opens a new window) 2006 and 2011. Compiled and presented by .id (opens a new window), the population experts.
(Usual residence data)
Compiled and presented in profile.id by .id, the population experts.

Dominant groups
Analysis of the service age groups of the City of Monash in 2011 compared to Greater Melbourne shows that there was a lower proportion of people in the younger age groups (0 to 17 years) and a higher proportion of people in the older age groups (60+ years).
Overall, 19.1% of the population was aged between 0 and 17, and 22.5% were aged 60 years and over, compared with 22.2% and 18.2% respectively for Greater Melbourne.
The major differences between the age structure of the City of Monash and Greater Melbourne were:
- A larger percentage of 'Seniors' (10.3% compared to 7.4%)
- A larger percentage of 'Tertiary education & independence' (12.6% compared to 10.1%)
- A smaller percentage of 'Parents and homebuilders' (20.3% compared to 22.0%)
- A smaller percentage of 'Young workforce' (13.9% compared to 15.4%)
Emerging groups
From 2006 to 2011, City of Monash's population increased by 8,071 people (5.0%). This represents an average annual population change of 0.98% per year over the period.
The largest changes in the age structure in this area between 2006 and 2011 were in the age groups:
- Young workforce (25 to 34) (+2,191 people)
- Tertiary education and independence (18 to 24) (+1,490 people)
- Seniors (70 to 84) (+1,413 people)
- Elderly aged (85 and over) (+975 people)

About Me
I'm looking to challenge the mainstream stereotype. My goal is to promote fitness of all levels from all aspects of marketing.
I'm going to start with what I'm not interested in....as long as it's not flexing LOL! If you browse through any fitness/bodybuilding photos, it's all the same. What I'm interested in is something different and edgy. I'm also looking for sponsorship and endorsements so any photographs that can help market my physique in the mainstream market is always a plus.
As a competitor, we have different looks depending on the time of year (pre-contest or off season). June and July puts me close to my show and my conditioning will be extremely lean.
I have access to a WICKED Down Town LA loft
studio. Message me for details/rate and I can forward you the info.(Pics also avail)
You can judge a book by it's cover but that will only judge your character.

I haven't fact checked this, but I believe that bees don't watch tv or play the guitar either. So, you know, that's another thing that's wrong. :P
I'm loving this design too! ♥ That Bee is so Adorkable. The facial expressions are great as well. I always love your style!! :D GMV

Humane Society Pet of the Day: Yoda
By HSPPR On December 6, 2012 · 1 Comment · In A Big Something, Humane Society, Pet of the Day
Hello! Yoda am I, a 4-year-old neutered fawn Chihuahua. I have crossed the galaxy in search of one special person who will train me and be my master. A sweet dog am I, and I love sitting on laps. I am a friend to all small dogs I meet. I love going on space walks, and I would not turn down a treat if you were to offer. An independent dog am I, which means I can take care of myself, but I will love the attention if you are around to give it to me. If looking for the perfect dog you are, then look no further. Yoda. You seek Yoda!
My adoption fee is $130 and includes a voucher for a veterinarian exam, vaccinations, 45 days of pet health insurance, a one-year dog license and a microchip. Stop by Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region at 610 Abbott Lane in Colorado Springs to see me and all of my friends! Click HERE for directions.
One Response to Humane Society Pet of the Day: Yoda
HSPPR says:
Yoda, now named Stiva, was adopted! Good luck, Stiva!

By Richard Clarke
Alex Song believes this Arsenal side is getting better as it gets older.
The 23-year-old midfielder powered home a last-gasp winner against West Ham on Saturday to keep his side at the top of the pack chasing leaders Chelsea.
For the previous 88 minutes, it appeared to be one of 'those days' for Arsène Wenger's men. However the ability to prise out victory in such circumstances often separates champions from also-rans. Afterwards Song suggested he and his team-mates had grown up together and had now learnt to win together.
"When I came to Arsenal, I was just 17 years-old," he said. "Today I am 23. I am more mature and I feel I learn every single day. I am more confident, which is maybe why I try to push myself.
"But we have a lot of players who have been here for seven or eight years now. When you play in one team for a long time, with the best manager in the world, you want to give your best every day. You can see it when we are on the pitch - we showed very good character and never gave up, which is very good for the future for us.
"The game was very difficult. At 80 minutes we said we had to continue to play because we play at a very high level and they could not defend like that for 90 minutes."
They didn't. And Song's winner took inspiration from close to home.
"Before the match, my wife Olivia said 'you will score today'," said the midfielder. "I was very happy. I called her straight away and she said 'I told you!'.
"I just said to them afterwards that it was their goal."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

A reading retreat
The Daily Telegraph writes about a reading retreat – a lovely place on the Suffolk coast where you go to do nothing but read.
That evening, I retreated to the little library area on the landing to examine my pile of prescribed books. It's an intriguing collection, ranging from a biography of the intrepid travel writer Freya Stark to a poetic Japanese love story. I reached for one called The Glass Room by Simon Mawer. It's a novel about a young Czech couple in the Thirties who decide to build a house made of glass and steel. It asks questions about how architecture can change or improve us, and seemed an apt choice for this holiday.
The next morning I awoke early to hear waves thundering onto the shingle and rain lashing against the windows. Perfect weather for a reading retreat. I climbed back under the duvet and spent the morning in bed reading, something I hadn't done since my daughter was born almost two years ago.

I was browsing in my local indie bookshop yesterday afternoon, and this new book, which they'd only just put out on the table leapt out at me. What a fab cover!
Then I turned it over and read the blurb, and two more words made me buy it without further investigation. They were 'Cowboy Noir'. These words are guaranteed to interest me – loving both Westerns and classic styled crime. Comparisons to the Coen brothers also feature.
Set during the Gold Rush of 1851, it's the story of brothers Eli and Charlie Sisters who are notorious killers and are on their way to California to kill someone.
It's also a no-brainer – no prizes for guessing what I shall be reading next!

Underground cleanup
Sandra Chapman/Eyewitness News Investigator
Indiana, March 22 - Indiana has a LUST problem, Leaking Underground Storage Tanks. LUST is the federal acronym.
What's happening below the surface with old rusted out tanks is now drilling home change in how motor fuel is stored. It's a matter of public safety.
State officials say that across the state "All those tanks have now been closed," but not cleaned up.
Right now 490 other sites statewide pose an active threat. Seeping petroleum and diesel fuels contaminate soil, groundwater and, in extreme cases, well water supplies.
Craig Shroer with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management says, "Sometimes it can get into sewer systems and cause explosive vapors or find their way even into homes or businesses. Any exposure, whether it's through our drinking water or in the home through vapors, present the most significant concern for us."
So where are the active high priority sites in Marion County? 13 Investigates mapped it out. There are 57 active sites in Marion County alone, most of them are service stations, some abruptly closed.
One recurring name is BP Connect, formerly Amoco. The company confirms 35 releases. But IDEM says that doesn't make BP a bad neighbor. They've already cleaned up 24 sites.
"They simply have more gas stations." Shroer adds, "Whether or not BP is operating a station or has closed a station, they're the responsible party. We expect them to clean it up."
What you might not expect are schools on the state's LUST report. It's a recurring problem for one local district where tanks buried underground for fueling buses leaked.
"I think anytime your name appears on that kind of list there's always a reason to be concerned." Dr. James Mervilde is Superintendent at Washington Township where Eastwood Middle School made the active high priority list.
An investigation found fuel product floating on top of groundwater and, according to an internal IDEM document, the school failed to get proper testing for a fuel additive.
Phil Smith is the Washington Township Operations director. "They wanted to define the ground water samples more closely to see the extent and level of contamination."
The fuel additive in question contaminated the water supply at a school in Roselawn in northern Indiana. That school had to bring in bottled water for drinking, food preparation and for washing hands.
It's a scenario Washington Township officials say is unlikely since it relies on city water, not wells.
"The area is about the size of a trash dumpster," says Smith. "We know that it is no where near the school. We've drilled test wells and they come back negative and the plume is not moving."
Dr. Mervilde adds, "As a district we're absolutely going to pay attention to what IDEM tells us."
Right now IDEM says the district must devise a clean up plan to eliminate any potential risk to students.
"We always pay close attention to the schools and we wanted to make sure they aren't being affected," says Shroer.
IDEM says the Eastwood Middle School site is inaccessible to students and presents no harm at this time.
Suggested Links
Washington Township also had buried tanks at Westlane and North Central that were cleaned up with no further corrective action required.
Land owners that refuse to clean up could face fines up to $10,000 a day. IDEM says it's largest enforcement fine amounted to $38,000 imposed on a southern Indiana company.
The federal government has also mandated better standards for underground storage tanks.

Motorist Assistance
Program (MAP)
Multiple construction projects including parking lot maintenance are ongoing throughout the University, and workers are parking in the same lots as faculty, staff and students. We request your patience and understanding. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
This fall, Zipcar is coming to campus for all 18 and older Southern Illinois students, faculty and staff. Zipcar is car-sharing, an alternative to bringing a car to school, that gives members 24/7 access to vehicles parked right on campus. Rates start at $7.50/hour or $69/day with gas, insurance, and 180 miles per day included to go wherever you want to go. Members can reserve cars online or with a smart phone for as little as an hour or up to seven days. This semester, enjoy all the freedom of owning car without any of the hassle.
Find out more about how it works at http://www.zipcar.com/siue or Find us on Facebook.
SIUE Parking Services is partnering with RideFinders, the St. Louis regional rideshare program, to encourage faculty, staff and students to share a ride to work or class. Ride sharing is an environmentally conscientious way to commute. For many, it can reduce stress, save money and improve productivity.
Starting Fall 2015, SIUE will offer preferential parking spaces in either Lot A or Lot E, and half-price green permits for individuals wishing to take advantage of the new Cougar Carpool program.
Those interested in participating must first register in the RideFinders program. Participants can take advantage of Ridefinders' Guaranteed Ride Home program, which offers members up to four rides home per year in the event an emergency requires them to leave work or school unexpectedly. There must be at least two (2) vehicles and two (2) residences to qualify for the program.
Cougar Carpool permits will be available in the Parking Service Office. Faculty and staff using a carpool permit may also purchase a green or blue permit. Non-residential students using the carpool may also buy a red permit.
Registration runs from July 1-August 8.
Parking Services is making a new app available effective Fall 2015 which will allow you to buy or add time to the meters in Lots B and C. There is a $0.35 fee per transaction. Go to: http://www.whooshstore.com to download the app.
Questions may be directed to Parking Services at (618) 650-3680

Summers, who worked with the Blazer linebackers his first four seasons at UAB, will now coach the UAB safeties. In addition, he will serve as co-special teams coordinator.
Prior to joining the staff at Georgia Southern where he coached the safeties, Summers spent spring and fall 2005 as a graduate assistant coach at Georgia as the Bulldogs won the Southeastern Conference championship and earned a berth in the Sugar Bowl. He worked with the secondary, seeing three UGA defensive backs get drafted: Tim Jennings (second round, First-Team All-SEC), DeMario Minter (First-Team All-SEC) and Greg Blue (First-Team All-American).
During the 2004 season he worked as a graduate assistant coach at Troy as the Trojans played in the Silicon Valley Classic in San Jose, Calif.
Summers spent the 2003 season at his alma mater, Presbyterian, where he worked as the defensive backs coach. In 2002 Summers returned to his hometown and worked the defensive backs at Tift County HS.
A four-year letterwinner at Presbyterian, Summers comes from a football background as his father was a running back at the University of Florida. Summers earned All-South Atlantic honors as a linebacker in 1999.
The following year, the Blue Hose led the country in takeaways. He was voted team captain his senior year.
Summers earned his bachelor's degree in political science from Presbyterian in 2002.
He is married to the former Beth King of Thomaston, Ga. They have two sons, Jake (2) and Walker (born last spring).

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/7/2014 (1090 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Manitoba RCMP are on the receiving end of $205,000 from the profits of crime.
Justice Minister Andrew Swan said Friday the Mounties will get the money under the province's Criminal Property Forfeiture Fund.
The money will go towards the purchase of a drone, an unmanned aerial device, to be used in search-and-rescue missions and during traffic accidents or critical-incident investigations.
RCMP will also get two automated licence plate readers to support traffic-safety efforts. The readers, typically mounted in unmarked police vehicles, scan licence plates to find suspended drivers or unregistered vehicles.
Also on the list are surveillance equipment for the Manitoba Integrated Organized Crime Task Force, a trailer to transport tactical unit equipment during an emergency response, and support for ongoing programs in Stonewall and Selkirk that work with at-risk youth and their families.
In Thompson Thursday, Swan announced more than $38,000 would also be provided to the RCMP to support youth cadet programs in Nelson House, Norway House, and Cross Lake.
The Manitoba Justice Victim Services branch will receive $150,000 from the fund to provide support to victims of crime and their families. The Office of the Fire Commissioner will get more than $70,000 to purchase and receive training on the use of a new portable X -ray system, which will be used on the scene of fire investigations.
More than $1.2 million in grants are to be distributed this summer through the Criminal Property Forfeiture Fund. Since 2010, more than $8 million in proceeds of crime have been forfeited to the province and reinvested to police and victims' services agencies.

III:00:02 Class Attendance
Policy with regard to class attendance requirements is established by each course instructor and must be clearly stated in the course syllabus. The course instructor has the sole prerogative to excuse or refuse to excuse student absences. However, students shall not be penalized for absences related to their participation in University sanctioned activities or in situations where the institution's policy on inclement weather is applicable. In all cases, the student has the responsibility to present excuses and make arrangements to make up any work missed. Non-attendance in class does not relieve a student of the responsibility for work covered or assigned in their absence.
The University considers participation in military duties as an excused absence. Notice of absence for service must be provided by the student/service member or an appropriate officer of the Armed Forces as soon as it is known that military orders are forthcoming for service. Notice must be provided to the MTSU Veterans and Military Family Center which will notify the student's/service member's instructors. The notice must be written unless such notice is precluded by military necessity. Affected students should contact the Coordinator, Veterans Benefits with questions regarding excused absences necessitated by military orders.
Excessive absences of students who are veterans of the armed services, and who receive benefits by virtue of their service, must be reported to the Coordinator, Veterans Benefits.

Today, U.S. Representative Jim Renacci (OH-16) released the following statement on his support for the final compromise on the highway bill:
"The final compromise on the highway bill is far from perfect, but it is better than having no infrastructure plan in place at all. Key to achieving my support for this package are provisions that will shorten the average review process for a transportation project from 15 years to seven, speeding up construction and saving taxpayer dollars in the process. I would have preferred a longer-term solution so we could provide states more certainty on how they can proceed on future construction projects. However, I believe this is the best deal we could achieve in our negotiations with the Senate. "
The compromise reauthorizes surface transportation programs for 27 months. Importantly, it will not add to the deficit. Also included in this bill is language that would prevent an increase in student loan interest rates.
Rep. Renacci is serving his first term in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he is a member of the Financial Services Committee. Prior to his election he worked as a Certified Public Accountant in the health care industry, and owned and operated over 60 other businesses in the automotive and sports management fields.

Trans Fluid/Filter change and Coolant drain/refill...
Im lazy today and don't wish to spend all night searching, so i come forth with a couple questions
Concerning Transmission:
1. I assume this will be straight-forward however i know GM...there will be a trick to this...always is... - is there anything i need to look out for while doing this or just drop pan, remove "side plug", change filters, reinstall plug, reinstall pan, and fill with new Dexron VI?
2. Dexron VI is FREAKIN EXPENSIVE...between the 12qts of that i bought plus the 2 jugs of Dexcool i spent 101 dollars on just fluids alone! %^&*# THAT!
Concerning Coolant:
1. What is the best way to get the most old stuff out?
2. Where is the most accepted place to add the pellets (and in what condition i.e. whole or crushed)? i have the "official" GM tablets sitting here too along with True Dexcool coolant ready to go...
thanks guys!
Re: Trans Fluid/Filter change and Coolant drain/refill...
Transmission..There's a lot of info on the threads, one tidbit is that there's a plug in the inside wall, behind a screen, which drains the fluid from part of the dry sump reservoir. FSM work. DEXRON VI sure is expensive....I think it's now a full synthetic hydraulic oil. (Imagine filling your transmission with 12 quarts of 10W Mobil 1, price-wise) Impossible to drain ALL fluid.
Coolant......Drop the lower hose. The FSM says that, because there are no block drains, 2 quarts will remain in the lower block, so remove the thermostat and flush the whole rig, allowing for 2 quarts of clean water in the block when you mix your new 60/40. 3 crushed tablets go in the lower hose before refill. After thermostat replacement and fill, allow the engine to warm and thermostat open. Watch coolant from the purge line. All air should slowly sputter out. Engine off. Top up to the surge tank mark. Watch it for a couple of days.
Re: Trans Fluid/Filter change and Coolant drain/refill...
The trans "filter" is deep in the trans and only gets changed upon tear down. The two screens inside the pan are reusable, as is the gasket.
Reverse the flow on a shop vac and stick the nozzle in the surge tank (seal with your hand or a rag). That will blow out some residual coolant.
Tabs can go in the radiator hose whole. No need to crush them.

Study Group 9 consented Recommendations on IPTV and advanced HDTV proposals during meetings held Oct. 29 - Nov. 2, Louisville, Colorado.
The meeting saw participation from all around the world with several delegates from developing countries including Kenya, India and Trinidad and Tobago.
Recommendation J.700 - IPTV Service Requirements and Framework for Secondary Distribution - defines service level requirements and an architectural framework for telecommunication networks to provide new services based on IPTV. It refers to "secondary distribution" which means use of a transmission channel for distribution of video/audio programs to users at large, for example by an over-the-air broadcast channel or by means of a fiber or cable network.
The Recommendation is extensive and includes requirements for network elements as well as customer premises equipment (CPE), including middleware application interfaces which consist of software libraries that provide uniform access to system services. It leverages existing deployed technologies, such as MPEG, DOCSIS, GEM (Globally Executable MHP), and IPCablecom to provide a smooth path for operators to integrate IPTV technology into their networks. While in the process of developing this Recommendation considerable liaison with other Study Groups and the IPTV Focus Group was carried out.
In addition to the IPTV work, Recommendations relating to second - and third - generation IPCablecom were consented. Equipment based on IPCablecom Recommendations, such as modems, set-top boxes, signalling equipment, interactive television application platform interfaces, digital program insertion, and others have had widespread implementation in networks in Asia, Europe, and North America.
The new Recommendations add to a suite of more than 25 which have been developed for cable and hybrid networks primarily designed for television and sound program delivery to the home.
Large screen digital imagery (LSDI) is a family of digital imagery systems that includes very large screen presentation of programmes similar to the non-digital IMAX and OMNIMAX systems. LSDI is described as an optimal approach to the presentation of high-definition television
(HDTV) programmes, to a collective audience on cinema-like screens in a cinema-like environment. An earlier approved Recommendation J.600 addresses use of a broadband service or channel for transferring audio or video information to a production center where post-production processing may take place before subsequent distribution. At this meeting work towards a new Recommendation - Network Service Operator's Requirements for Real-time Transmission of exLSDI Signals under Parallel Processing Functionality - was significantly progressed. This Recommendation is related to the transport of program signals conforming to the higher levels of the LSDI expanded hierarchy as used for contribution and primary distribution. The term contribution means use of a broadband service or channel for transferring audio or video information to a production center where post-production processing may take place before subsequent distribution. Primary distribution is the use of a transmission channel for transferring audio and/or video information from a production center to one or several destination points; for example, to a broadcast transmitting center or the headend of a cable distribution network. Work on LSDI takes place with interactions between ITU-T Study Group 9, ITU-R Study Group 6, and other bodies external to the ITU.

A standard that allows a warning message to be consistently disseminated simultaneously over different systems and applications has been approved as an ITU-T Recommendation.
The Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) v.1.1 developed by OASIS was the basis for the text that will be published as an ITU-T Recommendation following approval on 12 September. Publication as an ITU-T Recommendation (X.1303) will help ensure that CAP is deployed worldwide giving technical compatibility for users across all countries. The goal of public warning is to reduce the damage and loss of life caused by a natural or man-made hazard event.
CAP is a simple, lightweight XML-based schema that provides a general-purpose format for the exchange of emergency alerts for safety, security, fire, health, earthquake and other events over any network. CAP associates emergency event data (such as public warning statements, photographs, sensor data or URIs) with basic metadata such as time, source and level of urgency, and with geographic locations. The original V.1.1 specification was enlarged by a binary ASN.1 specification of the CAP messages that will enable the transport of CAP messages to VoIP terminals using H.323 among other systems. Experts say the use of ASN.1 significantly reduces the size of the message and therefore the potential for network congestion. OASIS Emergency Management Technical Committee has also adopted the same extension.
CAP is successfully in use by a number of public emergency services and land management agencies today, and works with a wide variety of devices and messaging methods.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, together with other partners, demonstrated how using information and communication technologies (ICTs) and telecommunications networks could result in considerable savings in power-grid infrastructure and electricity consumption, reported the Network World on 22 October.
The test network allowed consumers to select their usage preferences via a web portal. Smart controls-based devices such as virtual thermostats were interconnected with a service-oriented architecture (SOA) through middleware, and using broadband internet. The so-called GridWise project showed that both the power demand at the SOA electricity marketplace could be managed more evenly and customers were in better control of their energy consumption.

' The Photographers' Gallery has taken the bold step of devoting a whole exhibition to the events of 100 years ago'
Alastair Smart, The Telegraph
Easter Rising 1916 is an exhibition drawn from Sean Sexton's photographic collection and curated by Luke Dodd.
This exhibition investigates the significant role played by photography in informing the national consciousness that led to Irish independence, using the 1916 rebellion as a central focal point. It features approximately eighty rarely seen photographs and ephemera, including souvenir postcards, albums, stereoscopic views, press and military photographs.
The exhibition encompasses a broad range of photographic documents of key events during the transformative years between the 1840s and 1930s. These include portraits of executed leaders, scrapbooks, collages and images of rebellion sites collected as memorabilia. Issues of authenticity and manipulation are explored in images of evictions and military drills - possibly staged for the camera. The contribution of women as active participants in the Rising is also addressed, as well as the women who practiced photography early in its development.
These photographic documents were utilised both by those fighting for and against autonomy from Westminster. For Nationalists, eviction images provided tangible evidence of British oppression, while pictures of Ireland's pre-colonial archaeological monuments and contemporary rural life bolstered nationalist sentiments.
Conversely, British authorities and the Unionists in Northern Ireland circulated images of the Ulster Volunteer Force and loyal Irish recruits fighting on the front lines of WWI. These images were used to quash rumours of German support for Irish independence and to pave the way for the potential introduction of conscription.
Due to the complicated, costly and cumbersome nature of photography, when the rebellion finally broke out on 24 April 1916, the action itself was largely undocumented. Most of the surviving images were taken in the immediate aftermath and nearly all concentrate on the hostilities in and around the General Post Office on O'Connell St (then Sackville St). These stark scenes depict a bombed-out shell of Dublin, routinely referred to pre-rebellion as 'the second capital of the Empire'.
Following six days of fierce clashes in which hundreds were killed and injured, the largely outnumbered rebel militias surrendered. Martial law was imposed across Ireland and leaders of the uprising were summarily executed. Before long their portraits, alongside photos of the site of execution in the prison yard at Kilmainham Jail, became widely available and informed a fresh groundswell of support for the Republican movement.
Subsequently, and in the brief lead up to the Civil War, photography played an extraordinarily powerful role in establishing archetypes such as the hunger striker, rebel, martyr, traitor and spy, while also elaborating on the Nationalists' narratives which informed the new Irish Free State.

No heart, questionable morals, one hundred percent attitude,Graham Allen is the perfect rocker; nothing can break him - except her.
4.5 Stars Review from RT Book Reviews For No Apologies
"Set aside a few hours to read this one straight through, because once Graham crawls under your skin, he's going to stay there till the very last page. He's edgy, dirty — and so hot. Graham's tension practically vibrates off the page as he considers changing his ways. His methods of self-destruction are emotional, wicked and truthful. Carly's story is equally painful, and at times these two seriously crush your heart as they try to learn what it means to trust and set the past free.
Graham Allen restores cars and is the moody bass player in a local band, using women for no-strings sex and taking the edge off with the occasional random fight or a fast ride on his Ducati. He doesn't let anyone get close. Carly, the pretty bartender at Graham's neighborhood haunt, makes him want to change his own rules. Except she has her own heavy baggage, putting her completely off limits. Everything changes when they decide to take a chance on being friends, and slowly Graham realizes that he doesn't have to let the past control him any longer — until he makes a startling discovery."

|Ashton Classic 898 Lonsdale
|By ncleftygolf
|I have been smoking cigars for 30+ years and the 898 is by far the most enjoyable smoke I've ever had. It is very smooth tasting and easy to draw. I smoke several per week, when playing golf or fly fishing and they always stay lit, no matter how windy the conditions. I find this cigar grows a plume in my humidor faster than any other so this adds greatly to the flavor. It also really ages well. I keep 40 - 50 in the humidor and the older the better.

Kolkata: Wicket-keeper Deep Dasgupta on November 30 said he was confident ahead of the England series and his morale was unaffected by the punishment given by match referee Mike Denness for 'excessive appealing' during the Port Elizabeth Test against South Africa.[an error occurred while processing this directive]"I'm not at all affected by the punishment. It's better to leave the episode behind and concentrate on the England series," Dasgupta told reporters on his arrival at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose airport.Dasgupta, along with Harbhajan Singh and Shiv Sunder Das, had been handed a one-match suspended sentence up to December 31 by Denness during the second Test.The wicket-keeper/ batsman, who arrived in Mumbai on Thursday night after his debut series against South Africa and took an early morning flight to Kolkata, agreed that aggressive appealing was very much a part of modern cricket. "That's it," he said when a scribe posed the question.Asked whether the BCCI-ICC spat over the inclusion of Virender Sehwag in the playing XI for the Mohali Test against England had left the team disturbed, Dasgupta said, "I don't think so. The Board has been taking care of the happenings. We players have been kept away from all that and we are only concentrating on our game."On Denness' charge that skipper Saurav Ganguly had failed to control his players during the Port Elizabeth Test, he said, "You have seen him (Ganguly) more than I have. You know better."Dasgupta said the morale of the team, including that of the punished players, was 'very high' and the off-the-field incidents had not cast any shadow on the side prior to the home series against England."Yes," Dasgupta replied when asked whether he was feeling confident of putting up a good show in the coming series.PTI

Welcome to the world of HK, the P2000 is a great gun. I plan to purchase a P2000sk in the near future.
Post some pics when you make the purchase.

Wow, went to the local gunstore and held the P2000 in hand with the LEM Trigger. They let me dry fire it a couple of times. Pretty neat, has initial long easy pull until it gets near to the end than the pull becomes harder. After you fire the weapon (I had to rerake the slide to simulate) you return the trigger to the half way point and the trigger resets...
The HK P2000 is clearly without a doubt far superior in construction than Glock, thats for sure... Not putting down all you Glock Fans, I used to own a 20/21 a few years ago so... But it was an observation.
That all being said the P2000 in .40 will be my next weapon I do purchase.
Welcome to the world of HK, the P2000 is a great gun. I plan to purchase a P2000sk in the near future.
Post some pics when you make the purchase.
HK. Because you suck. And we hate you.
It might just be me but I have a usp compact 9mm with the LEM. When I bought it I thought I would love the lem trigger, but my first time to the range changed that. I couldn't shoot a tight grouping at all with it. It has this spungy feel right before the break I just couldn't stand. I would strongly suggest you try an hk with a lem at the range before you make a purchase. I am having my lem taken out now and having a match trigger variant one with ambi safety/decocker installed.
The P2000 is is certainly one of the premier pistols available today. Some people love the LEM trigger and some don't. One of the nice features of HKs is that they offer several choices in trigger on the same pistol. My daily CCW is the P2000SK, a gun that makes me smile every time I shoot it.
Changing the springs on the LEM trigger to lighten it from 8# to about 4.5# makes a huge difference. Identify the trigger's reset point, then put increasing pressure on the trigger until the gun makes a loud noise. Look in wonderment at the nicely placed hole in the target. Just don't slap the trigger.
Both my USP .45 and P2000sk .40 have the lightened triggers. Shooting tight groups is very possible with both of my HKs. In fact, if I don't shoot well, I am fully aware that it isn't my gun's fault.
I have a HK P2000 LEM and love it. I went out to buy a Kahr PM9 and made the mistake of picking up the HK. After looking at both the Hk somehow followed me home.
The firs trip to the range I thought oh sh-- I can't hit anything. What is wrong? It didn't take long to realize I had my trigger finger in to deep and was polling with each shot. Started to use the end of my finger and I shoot just fine. I now use it for my #1 carry gun.
Oh ya I now have the Kahr PM9 also It is my hot weather light clothing gun. Both have been 100% reliable with any ammo feed to them.
I have a HK P2000 .40cal in DA/SA. As much as I like the gun, I hate both the LEM and DA/SA stock triggers. I can't warm up to the LEM and the initial DA is way too heavy. I sent mine off to Grayguns for a trigger job. They really helped lighten up that DA pull and smooth out the action. Now I am very happy with mine.
A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity.
-- Sigmund Freud
My favorite all time firearm is the HK P2000. Period.
"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." Eccl. 10:2
Sometimes I think I'd like to have one to practice with as it will likely be my first service handgun.
The preceding post may contain sarcasm; it's just better that way. However, it is still intended with construction and with the Love of my L-rd Y'shua.

Have any of you guys ever "benched" your gun for accuracy? A friend of mine had one but sent it back to H&K, said it shot patterns, not groups. I don't know what his definition of groups is, but he was unhappy with the gun and the response from H&K. I know they may be "combat accurate" but I mean some idea of what they can do under the best of circumstances.
