TEL AVIV (Jul. 16)
Foreign Minister Abba Eban has warned that Israel could expect new political pressures and possibly military action at the beginning of 1973. He said that any new American administration might be expected to adopt a vigorous policy aimed at getting results in ending the Middle East impasse. But, the Foreign Minister added, "I have faith that the principles on which the American policy has been based during the past five years will not be discarded."
Eban addressed the 150 members of the Labor Party Secretariate here. He said that as far as he knew, United Nations mediator Gunnar V. Jarring has been called back to New York in connection with the Mideast report the Secretary General must submit to the General Assembly this fall. "Nobody has said the Jarring mission is to be resumed," Eban said.

We operate the Kenneth A. Scott Wildlife Education & Rehabilitation Program to aid and assist injured and ill wild animals. Lake Erie Nature & Science Center has been performing wildlife rehabilitation at no charge to the public since its inception in 1945. We define wildlife rehabilitation as human assistance for injured or ill wildlife with the ultimate goal of releasing the animal back into the wild.
We are members of the OWRA (Ohio Wildlife Rehabilitators Association), the NWRA (National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association), and the IWRC (International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council) and perform our wildlife rehabilitation activities under permits from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the Ohio Division of Wildlife.
Although we cannot pick up or rescue animals, those which can be transported to the Center will receive quality care and hopefully another chance at life in the wild.
Please contact us before you try to assist a wild animal to protect both you and the animal at
(440) 871-2900, Ext. 204 or (440) 471-8357.
If you would like to check on an animal that you recently brought to us for treatment and have its intake number, or if you have general wildlife questions, you can contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com for an update.
Please do not use email or our online contact form for time sensitive questions!
If you can safely capture the animal, place it in an escape proof box not much bigger than the animal itself. This should protect the animal from further injuring itself. Do not offer food or water to it as even these seemingly helpful actions may harm or even kill the animal. Place the box in a dark, quiet location (garage, basement, closet) until it can be transported to us for a medical examination 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week.

M'sians Performed Well On First Day Of ASEAN Skills Competition
Bernama Online(AM): 24/09/2016
SERDANG, Sept 24 (Bernama) -- Brimming with confidence and focusing on their goal to become champions, 50 Malaysian participants, currently competing at the ASEAN Skills Competition (ASC) 2016, performed well on the first day of the competition.
Department of Skills Development Deputy Director Dr Ghalip Spahat said despite being quite nervous, they were confident in carrying out their tasks and modules which included endurance and competency tests based on the physical and mental.
"Our Malaysian team is well prepared due to the intensive physical and mental training they underwent prior to the competition.
"The experts and coaches will constantly revise with them on what they need to do for the modules so that we will perform the best among ASEAN countries," he told reporters when met at the ASC 2016, which is being held at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (Maeps) here Saturday.
The participants aged 25 and below were among the 276 ASEAN contestants who demonstrated technical abilities both individually and collectively to execute specific tasks for which they studied and/or performed at their workplace in the future.
The six-day event, beginning Friday, saw Malaysian participants contesting in 25 skills categories including automobile, aircraft maintenance, welding, cooking, cabinet making, electronics, hairstyling and fashion technology.
According to Ghalip, the skills competition which begun at 8.30am and ended at 5pm saw participants completing modules and answering questions prepared by a group of experts.
"Then, from 6pm to 11pm, ASEAN experts will evaluate and assess the potential of each participant based on the modules and questions, and post the marks on the Competition Information System (CIS).
"We will be able to monitor the marks and performances via CIS which is made available online by midnight," he explained.
Asked what the plan was for the Malaysian team after 5pm, he said: "We will gather them for a post-mortem and allow them to express their anxiety and feelings.
"Then, the coaches will guide and explain the mistakes made by them. After dinner and prayer at a hotel, the participant will revise and prepare for Day 2 and 3 of the competition.
"Day 2 will be tougher than today and Day 3 will test the competency and understanding level of 'surprise modules and questions.
"So, the best of the best in the ASEAN region will represent Malaysia at the World Skills Competition in Abu Dhabi next year," said Ghalip, adding that participants were given motivation daily so that they did not get panic attack during the competition.
Based on input by experts, he said the Malaysian team made few mistakes due to nervousness and the crowding visitors at the venue which distracted the concentration of participants.
On the first day, Ghalip said 30,000 visitors visited the skills competition held concurrently, with the National Skills Exposition and Carnival (KEKK) from Sept 19 to 28.
Themed 'Skills For A Brighter Future, the skills competition and Carnival KEKK are expected to attract 100,000 visitors.

Sebek a character ghost from Ghostbusters Role-Playing Game Series: Tobin's Spirit Guide.
He is featured as the first creature in the Egyptian section. He appears to be a nerd like creature that is not seen as a great threat.
According to Tobin's Spirit GuideEdit
Copied from Tobin's Spirit Guide materials.
In the summer of 1798, so the story goes, a lieutenant in Napoleon's garrison at Alexandria, along with a companion, was strolling down a back street of that fair city when an odd figure approached from the opposite direction. The creature was no higher than four foot tall, with a stubby human body and a green-scaled head that looked for all the world like the head of a huge crocodile. "Pardon me," it said, although it had some trouble with the words because a crocodile's mouth does not shape the "p" sound easily, "but I require some directions." It then asked the lieutenant the way to eighteenth-century Alexandria's most notorious night club.
A Frenchman true to his nature, the officer replied (here translated): "Sir, you speak French abominably. Are you an American?"
The little creature opened its long, toothy mouth as far as it could and bit the officer in half. The officer's companion, who related the story, had achieved the distance of half a block before the remains of the lieutenant's body hit the ground. Neither French military investigators nor the Alexandrian constabulary ever solved the case, nor did they find the mysterious creature. Nothing like it is recorded again until Cairo, 1882, when drunken soldiers reported that they had attended a party thrown by an Egyptian dwarf in a crocodile mask who spoke only perfect French.
Traits and TalentsEdit
the paranormal nerd
Sebek's strange appearance, strangely enough, doesn't frighten people; they just assume he's wearing a mask and trying to get their attention (which is partially true). He wants people to like him, and takes large bites out of anyone who makes fun of him or merely pretends to like him.
He shows up in what he thinks is a popular locale; unfortunately, he's always just a little (at least) behind the times. When he's in New York, he looks for good times at Studio 54; in Texas, he wants to ride the mechanical bull at Gilley's; in Small Town U.S.A., he stands on a street corner and checks out the girls. Being a nerd, of coarse, he'll never be really popular- but that won't keep him from trying.
- Goal: Popularity
- Tags: Physical, intelligent; crocodile head, pocket protector, slide rule attached to belt, other paraphernerdlia
- "Sebek" is loosely based on a Egyptian deity of the same name.

Summary: How do I get rid of that very annoying VGA icon at startup which
covers everything below, can't be moved, and seems to stay there "forever"?
Reference: 9/25/2007 2:34 AM PST posting by "Retired Bill" titled "VGA plug
connector icon displays every bootup"
"Cal Bear '66" said: "My monitor also displays the connection (DVI) when I
boot up, or wakeup the monitor, but it disappears very quickly and there is
also no option to turn it off. Perhaps there might be some option to shorten
the length of time it is on
screen, otherwise there is possibly nothing you can do about it and it does
interfere with performance in any way. Another idea is to see if the monitor
has a setting that only allows the VGA connection to be used so that it will
search connections for a signal. Vista itself has no options or controls for
this behavior. "
I'm not sure what he meant by "disappears very quickly" but mine stays up
there 45 seconds, possibly longer which seems like 5 minutes when you are
trying to see the things underneath it. Also, regarding "it does not
interfere with performance in any way", it does lengthen my startup time by a
minute since I can not do anything until I can see what's under this icon
which is very large (.75" x 2.5") and cannot be moved.
Did someone figure out how to use "some option to shorten the length of time
it is on the screen" or how "to see if the monitor has a setting that only
allows the VGA connection to be used so that it will not search connections
for a signal [whatever that means]"?
Also it seems like it comes up multiple times. "Dwarf" explained that was
because the screen resolution was being changed, somehow causing it to appear
again. He also said: "You may be able to turn it off through the menu
options on the monitor"
Did someone figure out how to do this?
I have a new 22" flatscreen Gateway monitor with a new Gateway desktop
computer and strangely I don't remember this appearing when I first got and
used my system. Perhaps I am noticing it more because I am using the Vista
"sleep" and "hibernate" options more when I leave the computer and this icon
appears when I restart again. It just seems to come up all the time and is
slowly driving me crazy!!!!
Did anyone find out how to get rid of it entirely, shorten its duration,
make it appear only once, not multiple times, move it, or in any other way
make it less annoying?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Charlie, the Vista Novice

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Nintendo 3DS Lobby' started by mr_chun, Feb 3, 2012.
Woah. Haven't been on IGN in approximately forever.
Congrats Chun!
Thanks guys.
Congrats chun, but I do believe that your news is trying to overshadow the real big news:
I found a quarter. 5 years ago.
Your move, CHUN.
whoa, dude! that's crazzzy! congrats
aw hell pretty soon there will be a bunch of chunlets running around and then, and then.. then then, aw sheit mang!
But seriously it's so weird to think about how these boards were a part of our formative years. We were all just kids back when the DS launched, and now I'm married, Jekus wrote a book, most of us are done with college. Crazy stuff man.
I think I congratulated you on SwapNote about your nuptials, but if I'm mistaken about that... CONGRATULATIONS, CHUN!
I know! Totally. I for one switched from Pepsi to Diet pepsi after all these years. Its CRAZY.
Aww snap I got the old account treatment!
Happy holidays, all.
Merry Christmas everybody!
Extremely late but congrats on the marriage, Chun.
Merry Christmas everyone!
no roses for threads unless they're dead.
Dead roses? Ew.
the only way to get that nice, dry, brown color.
People who like pokemon read my blog and follow me because I write intresting facts about pokemon and I put something new everyday.
Hey guys, long time no see!
I'm really late, but congratulations chun! Hope you both have a happy future together!
Speaking of, these boards were a huge part of my life back in the day. I met some amazing people on here, two in particular who I've gotten the privilege to meet up with in real life, and there's a couple of users who I'd like to enjoy the same privilege with some day. Back when I was a wee n00b getting my first DS back in '06 (didn't visit these boards until '07), there was a fantastic community here then, and I'm amazed how well it held up over the years. It truly was a great place to belong to, and I'm glad I was able to share so many moments on here with everyone. I know I'm not around that often anymore, but there's still a big place in my heart for these boards and all the experiences I've had, and it won't be forgotten anytime soon!
Hi Arukas!
I echo those exact sentiments, Arukas. I've seen two generations of users pass through this Lobby. I loved the old days, where this board was one of the craziest on IGN. But I also loved posting here with you guys. We always had a great relationship. It was slow at times, but I still love this place.
HD Tapatalkin'
Looks like the end is nigh. The board restructuring has been posted. Love you guys.
Funny, I just checked this board since this thread sunk to page 2 (25 threads per page). Haven't been around that long, but I'm already going to miss it.
Goodbye old friend.
I sure we'll meet again somewhere.
I'm always available in the 3DS and Vita Lobbies, as well as via PM.
It's been a long time.
Even-later-than-Arukas(-therefore-totally-pushing-fashionably-late-to-an-even-higher-degree-of-extremitude), congratulations Chun!!
I wish you guys NOTHING
—but the best!
(The joke is less about the covered up name and more of the fact that I just stole @Stylobean's image. =P)
Farewell old friends then. But add me on Wii U if you've got one! (same id). err... I got a 3DS recently too, but haven't yet figured out where the code is...
Click on the orange smiley face at the top-middle of the menu screen!
Well somehow the re-org was "completed" and we were forgotten once again, along with the PSP Lobby.
Thanks again to mr_chun for saving Christmas from my idiocy (30/70k).
And yay, this thread still exists!
Quiet, they'll hear us.
lmao, how have I never clicked that! I guess I'm must blind to all but the brightness and notifications buttons.
You guys PM me if you still want to be my friend!
How far does Streetpass reach? If I drive to work during schoolbus times.... will I pick up streetpasses?
osup DS Lobby still exits ?
For now I guess.
You're still here, so I guess it is, lol
How has things been going around here, chun
Interesting, to say the least. New admin. New mods on the way. Board restructuring. New All-Stars program. 3DS Lobby is thriving. It's been an interesting past six months.
HD Tapatalkin'
Hey guys, now I know this is a super lame thing to do but I just started a youtube channel and would really appreciate your feedback. So if you ever wanted to hear my sexy voice or if you just wanted to see a stellar walkthrough of pokemon white please check it out and let me know what you think, heck maybe I could even get a few of you to subscribe ha ha thanks
click here my brothren!
Hello! Just thought I would check in to the community as a massive Phoenix Wright fan lol
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is finally upon us. I've waited almost two years for this...
So how's MH3 then?
I've been away... I wonder how many Phoenix Wrights and Prof Layton I'm behind on then. Those things seem to pop up when I'm not looking!
If you played Apollo Justice, then you're up to date. The crossover and Ace Attorney 5 are on the way.
I think there has been one Layton for 3DS so far.
HD Tapatalkin'
I know I've got a MIles Edgeworth still in my backlog. Wow, the crossover isn't here yet? It feels like a long time since I first heard about it.
I saw that the Eternal Diva DVD was finally in the states (saw it on Amazon). Still have yet to watch that one.
HD Tapatalkin'
Uh...what? Were you de-modded and modded back? If so, why did IGN do that to you?
He's a true hero.
There's a noob that isn't wearing the icon, so I'm taking one for the team and wearing it in his place. I am indeed an hero.
I was never de-modded.
Okay, I was just thrown off by the change.
A few months ago I sold my 3DS to make some money towards a second PS3. But I finally got some spare money and found a good deal on a used 3DS XL- $150. Also ordered another copy of Mario Kart 7, man I have missed that game.
I also saw a thread in the 3DS forums that GameStop & Amazon lowered the price on Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance to $20 new. If this is indeed the case then I'll gladly order a copy from Amazon (don't wanna give GS my business).

Google has asked the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to carve out a set of off-limits channels for proposed wireless devices that could operate in unused television spectrum bands, in hopes that the proposal will help the FCC approve the use of so-called white-space devices.
Google, in a filing to the FCC made late Friday, proposed that the FCC set aside television channels 36 to 38 for wireless microphone use to avoid spectrum interference. Users of wireless microphones and U.S. television stations have been the main opponents to the push by Google, Microsoft, Dell, and other tech companies for the FCC to approve the use of new wireless devices in the unused white spaces in the television spectrum.
Companies asking the FCC to open up the spectrum white spaces see new markets for high-speed wireless devices, or "WiFi on steroids," in the language of Richard Whitt, Google's Washington, D.C., telecom and media counsel.
The white spaces "offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to provide ubiquitous wireless broadband access to all Americans," Google's filing said. "This spectrum can provide robust infrastructure to serve the needs of under-deployed rural areas, as well as first responders and others in the public safety community."
Google filed the proposal with the goal of moving the FCC's white spaces proceeding to a "more constructive tone," Whitt said. "We believe it's unfortunate that some have preferred the comfort of the past to the promise of the future, and are using their influence to convince policymakers to protect legacy applications at any and all costs."
The Google proposal also suggests that the FCC could require two spectrum-sensing technologies called geo-location and beacons -- the low-cost beacons would have to be added to wireless microphones -- to ensure against interference. That portion of the Google filing borrows from a Motorola filing late last year.
The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) has raised concerns that the white space devices would cause interference with television signals. Instead of pushing through the white space proceeding, the FCC should focus on the transition of television stations to digital broadcasts, mandated by Congress to happen by February 2009, the NAB has said. The transition is freeing up spectrum in the 700MHz band for wireless services; an FCC spectrum auction for the band concluded last week.
The Google proposal would create a so-called safe harbor for wireless microphones between channels 36 and 38 in the television spectrum. That safe harbor would also protect medical telemetry devices and radio astronomy services, which use channel 37, Google said.
Google's filing with the FCC said an opening of the white spaces, combined with the Google-sponsored Android open source mobile platform, could "provide uniquely low-cost mobile broadband coverage for all Americans." Google offered to provide free technical support to third parties wishing to deploy services using the white spaces.
The FCC is currently testing four white-space prototype devices. In February, the power in one of the devices failed, but it did not interfere with TV signals, according to the White Spaces Coalition. Another white-space device malfunctioned in tests by the FCC last year.
The NAB, in February, called white-space devices "not ready for prime time." Spokesmen for the NAB and Shure, a wireless microphone manufacturer, were not immediately available for comments on the new Google proposal.

Microsoft on Tuesday indefinitely suspended MSN Juku, its new microblogging service in China, after its Chinese vendor was caught lifting code from a rival Canadian startup, Plurk.
"We will be suspending access to the Juku beta indefinitely," the Redmond, Washington-based software giant said in a statement.
"The vendor has now acknowledged that a portion of the code they provided was indeed copied," Microsoft said.
According to Plurk, as much as 80 percent of the basecode used in MSN Juku was "stolen directly from Plurk," which claims to be the biggest microblogging service in Taiwan, 10 times bigger than Twitter.
Microsoft said the plagiarism of the code was "in clear violation of the vendor's contract with the MSN China joint venture, and equally inconsistent with Microsoft's policies respecting intellectual property.
"When we hire an outside company to do development work, our practice is to include strong language in our contract that clearly states the company must provide work that does not infringe the intellectual property rights of others.
"We are a company that respects intellectual property and it was never our intent to have a site that was not respectful of the work that others in the industry have done," Microsoft said.
"We are obviously very disappointed, but we assume responsibility for this situation," the company said. "We apologize to Plurk and we will be reaching out to them directly to explain what happened and the steps we have taken to resolve the situation."
Juku was launched by Microsoft in November.

El Nino is not a new weather phenomenon, according to a recent NASA study that looks 750 years into the past using tree-ring records.
Utilizing special computer techniques, a NASA scientist has linked tree-ring widths -- a natural record of local and regional climate conditions -- with sea surface temperatures (SST) to compile a record that looks back three-quarters of a millennium, indicating that El Nino caused heavy rain in some places in South America and droughts in other areas.
"We feed the computer model with past tree-ring data, and this model 'hind casts' past sea surface temperatures," said Hector D'Antoni, a scientist at NASA Ames Research Center in California's Silicon Valley. "We can go back in time and reconstruct some of the factors controlling ecosystems." An ecosystem is a system composed of living organisms and their environment.
"The hypothesis I had all along was that the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is not a new component of the global climate system, and that ENSO effects on South America were not new or negligible," he said. "Sea surface temperatures of both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in tropical and subtropical locations have a strong influence on the temperate forests of South America.
Therefore, one can expect to find some 'signal' of these drivers in the collection of tree rings over a period of time."
"Precipitation is related to the ocean-atmosphere interface and, in South America, predominantly dominated by the Atlantic Ocean," he said. "The El Nino ENSO affects these patterns in four regions with large increases of precipitation (Ecuador, Argentina), drought (Northern Amazonia) and higher temperature (Ecuador, eastern Brazil). These changes affect tree growth in these and other regions of South America."
D'Antoni developed a connection between rate of tree growth and sea surface temperatures using neural network software models. Using these models, he estimated past sea surface temperatures based only on tree ring widths. Wider tree rings indicate more tree growth.
Precipitation and temperature control much of this growth.
Neural network models 'learn' by observing patterns in today's world and then make precise estimates. D'Antoni obtained tree-ring data produced by scientists who study the annual growth rings in trees.
These researchers collected data from 25 sites, largely in the sub-Antarctic region of South America. With computer models, tree-ring width records and sea surface temperature data, D'Antoni established a pattern for the last few hundred years. When linked with sea surface temperatures, tree-ring growth patterns are proving to be exceptional starting points for researchers who are reconstructing past and predicting future climates.
D'Antoni and co-investigator Ante Mlinarevic of San Jose State University, San Jose, Calif., reconstructed past sea surface temperatures of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans for the period 1246 to 1995.
"The Atlantic SST appears more stable around 24.5 Celsius (76.1 degrees Fahrenheit); the Pacific past SST varies in a much larger range around 21 degrees Celsius (69.8 degrees Fahrenheit) and reflects ENSO episodes in the past that are longer than the instrumentally recorded ones," D'Antoni said.
One record kept by archeologist Jorge Marcos, Polytechnic School of the Littoral, Guayaquil, Ecuador, mentions 'albarradas' (archeological and small historical dams) built by the people of Ecuador and copied by the European conquerors, D'Antoni said.
Albarradas turned the damaging effect of runoff during ENSO episodes into a way of replenishing the groundwater table and aiding agriculture on the dry coast of Ecuador, according to D'Antoni.
The older albarradas are 2,270 years old, according to radiocarbon dating. These dams were in extensive use 1,000 years ago, and some albarradas are still being used.
D'Antoni stressed that records such as those of Marcos provide 'circumstantial' evidence of the historical ENSOs. "Our reconstruction suggests that there were many ENSOs, some very intense ones, in the last 750 years," D'Antoni said. "All of these experiences amount to a stronger support for prediction of future changes, which is one of NASA's goals."
While his findings eventually could lead to attempts by scientists to make long-range forecasts of levels of rainfall, humidity and other consequences of major climate changes, D'Antoni said he is still conducting basic science and is not ready to attempt climate change predictions. His immediate objective is simply to learn more about Earth's climate, he said.

Sugar: Would You Like Bone Char and GM Beets with That?
(HealthCastle.com) Sugar: It's a topic that's always controversial. It turns out there's a lot more than just calories and obesity that we need to worry about when it comes to sugar!
Sugar: Cane versus Beets
Regular white sugar is made from either sugar cane or sugar beets. Both are plants that naturally contain large amounts of sucrose, which is refined into the sugar. So why should you care whether your sugar is made from sugar cane or sugar beets? As of 2010, 95% of sugar beets are primarily a GMO crop in the United States. Although the USDA finally called for deregulation of GM beets in June last year, most of the sugar refined from sugar beets is still from GM sources. These GM beets are modified to be resistant to Monsanto's Roundup. The same is true in Canada; sugar beets are primarily a GMO crop and are grown in Southern Alberta.
Would You Like Animal Bone Char with That?
You might think the solution is just not to buy sugar refined from sugar beets and to switch to sugar refined from sugar cane. That's a good logical thought process! But what you may not know is that sugar cane is mostly refined with animal bone char, usually from cows. The bone char is used in the cane-refining process to help make sugar white in color. Some manufacturers call this cow bone char "natural charcoal." It may be natural, but this is not good news for vegans and those with allergies.
Sugar with No GM Beets and or Bone Char?
This is the difficult part. That's why it took me much longer to compile this list than it did when I compiled a list of Canadian brands of sugar. One reason is that manufacturers don't really label sugar properly; the other is that some did not respond to my inquiries. For instance, I learned that three out of four refining plants for Domino Foods (which makes Domino Sugar and C&H Sugar) use bone char in the cane-refining process, while one out of two Imperial Sugar refining factories use bone char, and there's no easy way for consumers to figure out which plant their sugar was refined at. In Canada, only the Vancouver plant uses bone char for Rogers Sugar, and sugar from that plant is marked with a code 10 on the the package.
Option 1: Go Organic. If you would like a sugar that is not from GM sugar beets or bone-char-refined sugar cane, go organic! Organic products cannot come from GMO sources, and none of the organic sugar cane I've found use bone char, so these are your best bets! Brands such as Florida Crystals, Wholesome, and Hain produce organic sugar.
Option 2: Choose Raw Cane. Cane sugar is not genetically modified – yet. So choose raw sugar, turbinado, and demerara; they are not refined using bone char. Many national brands carry raw sugar, like C&H and Domino. Please note that brown sugar is NOT a raw sugar.
Option 3: Can't Tell? Skip It. The Great Value brand sold in Walmart is a typical example. It doesn't say what the source of the sugar is. A quick online search revealed that it contains both GM sugar beets and sugar cane, and that bone char is used in refining the sugar cane.
Tell Us: Which brand of sugar do you use? If you are not sure about the source or bone char use for the sugar brand you usually purchase, comment below and we will do some investigative work.

P.O. Box 1618
Vienna, Virginia 22183-1618
Re: NPRM—Suspicious Transaction Reporting—Brokers or Dealers in Securities
Dear Ms. Starr:
The Investment Company Institute1 appreciates the opportunity to comment on the rule recently proposed by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) that would require brokers or dealers in securities (broker-dealers) to report suspicious transactions.2
The proposed rule would require all broker-dealers to report suspicious transactions to FinCEN. In general, transactions would be reportable if they are conducted or attempted by, at, or through a broker-dealer; involve or aggregate funds or other assets of at least $5,000; and involve any known or suspected violation of law or regulation, including a violation of Federal law, a suspicious transaction relating to money laundering, or a violation of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA).3
We are commenting on this proposal because, as explained more fully below, transactions in fund shares4 may be conducted by, at, or through the fund's principal underwriter, which is a broker-dealer. To provide the context for our specific comments on the proposed rule, our letter begins with a brief description of the three main entities with which we are concerned—the fund, its underwriter, and its transfer agent. Following this introductory section are our specific comments, which focus on four areas: (1) the application of the proposed rule to transactions involving fund shares; (2) reportable transactions; (3) the filing of suspicious activity reports by funds, fund underwriters, and/or fund transfer agents; and (4) the delegation of Treasury's authority to examine fund underwriters for compliance with the rule.
A. Background—The Fund, Its Underwriter, and Its Transfer Agent
The Fund. We use the term "fund" in this letter to refer to any investment company that is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This includes open-end investment companies (commonly called mutual funds),5 closed-end investment companies,6 and unit investment trusts.7 It does not include the types of private investment companies commonly known as hedge funds. We note that the BSA does not define the term "investment company." In adopting anti-money laundering rules applicable to "investment companies," Treasury may wish to consider specifying which entities it intends to cover.8
Funds are legal entities formed pursuant to state law (most often as a corporation or business trust). Funds typically have no employees of their own. All of their functions are carried out by affiliated and/or unaffiliated service providers.
The Fund Underwriter. For purposes of this letter, the terms "underwriter" and "fund underwriter" mean a broker-dealer engaged in underwriting securities issued by funds. Underwriters are registered as broker-dealers under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are subject to National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD) rules governing mutual fund sales practices (although as discussed more fully below, the NASD's suitability rules generally do not apply). The underwriter is responsible for offering the fund's shares, either directly to the public or through broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries.
The Transfer Agent. Funds employ transfer agents to conduct recordkeeping and related functions. Transfer agents are registered as such under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Some fund transfer agents are banks or broker-dealers, but most are not.
Transfer agents maintain records of shareholder accounts and prepare and mail shareholder account statements, federal income tax information, and other shareholder notices. Transfer agents also may process transactions by accepting purchase payments and/or calculating and disbursing dividends and redemption proceeds. Some transfer agents prepare and mail statements confirming shareholder transactions and account balances, and maintain customer service departments to respond to shareholder inquiries.
B. The Application of the Proposed Rule to Transactions Involving Fund Shares
As a policy matter, the Institute believes that it is reasonable and appropriate to subject transactions in fund shares to risk-based SAR requirements as part of an overall strategy for guarding against potential money laundering activity in the U.S. financial services industry. That being said, we note that the application of the proposed broker-dealer SAR rule to transactions involving fund shares is not clear in all cases.
Many sales of fund shares occur through a retail broker-dealer. The application of the proposed rule to these types of transactions is fairly straightforward at the retail broker-dealer level. Such a transaction would be "conducted or attempted by, at, or through" the retail broker-dealer, and thus would be reportable by that retail broker-dealer.
At the level of the fund, its underwriter, and its transfer agent, however, the application of the rule is less clear. In particular, it is not clear when purchases, redemptions and exchanges of fund shares would be considered to be conducted by, at, or through the fund underwriter. This is because the responsibilities of the underwriter and the fund's transfer agent may vary at different fund companies. For example, while all funds have transfer agents that maintain shareholder records and other information for an account on behalf of the fund, in some cases, the fund's transfer agent, rather than its underwriter, is the entity responsible for processing shareholder transactions. In these situations, it is unclear whether the transactions could be considered to have been conducted "by, at, or through" the underwriter. To the extent that these transactions are not considered to be conducted or attempted by, at, or through the fund underwriter, the rule as proposed would not apply. 9 This would result in substantially similar transactions receiving different treatment under the rule, based solely on the fund's distribution and shareholder servicing arrangements. To address this uncertainty, we recommend that Treasury clarify its intent regarding the application of the proposed rule to transactions involving fund shares.
In this regard, we understand that Treasury may be considering proposing an SAR rule specifically applicable to funds. We would support such an approach. It would avoid the potential problem of different treatment for substantially similar transactions and would allow funds flexibility to determine how their SAR responsibilities will be carried out. If Treasury decides to propose a fund SAR rule, we believe it would be appropriate to exclude fund underwriters from the broker-dealer SAR rule or, at a minimum, to provide that an SAR filed by a fund (or its agent) pursuant to a fund SAR rule would satisfy any reporting obligation of the fund's underwriter under the broker-dealer SAR rule with respect to the same transaction. This would not create any reporting gaps and it would reduce the number of redundant reports filed with FinCEN, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the SAR regime.10
Regardless of whether transactions in fund shares (at the fund/underwriter level) are subject to the proposed broker-dealer SAR rule or a separate fund rule, we urge Treasury to take the following comments into account. These comments would be equally relevant under either approach.
C. Reportable Transactions
1. The Standard for Identifying "Suspicious" Transactions
Under any SAR rule applicable to funds, their underwriters, or their transfer agents, it is critical that the standards for identifying reportable transactions take into account the nature of the fund business and the characteristics that distinguish it from the traditional banking and brokerage businesses. There are two such characteristics that we would like to highlight. First, a fund, its underwriter, and its transfer agent typically have no face-to-face contact with fund shareholders. Rather, contact with investors primarily is written or electronic—through the mail, over the Internet, or over the telephone. Second, unlike many retail broker-dealers, a fund underwriter generally does not make investment recommendations to investors. Instead, the underwriter acts merely as an order-taker. As a result, a fund underwriter is not required by the NASD to make suitability determinations with respect to transactions involving fund shares,11 and often collects only limited information about shareholders.12 Moreover, broker-sold funds commonly have omnibus accounts in the name of retail broker-dealers that sell the fund's shares. In these instances, its underwriter, and its transfer agent would not have any information about the retail broker-dealer's customers or their individual transactions.
The standard articulated in section 103.19(a)(2)(ii)(C) of the proposed rule fails to recognize the nature of the information that a fund underwriter normally would have and instead appears to assume that the broker-dealer involved has suitability-type information available with which to make a determination as to whether a transaction is "suspicious." That subparagraph provides that the broker-dealer must report a transaction if the broker-dealer knows, suspects, or has reason to suspect that the transaction (or a pattern of transactions of which it is a part) has no business or apparent lawful purpose or is not the sort in which the particular customer would normally be expected to engage, and the broker-dealer knows of no reasonable explanation for it after examining the available facts, including the background and possible purpose of the transaction. The types of information normally obtained by a fund, its underwriter or its transfer agent likely would not enable them to identify the purpose of a given transaction and often may not make it possible to assess whether a transaction is "normal" for a particular investor.
To address this concern, we recommend that Treasury amend the proposed rule to provide that fund underwriters will be required to make determinations of what is "suspicious" based on information obtained by the fund, its underwriter, or its transfer agent in the normal course of establishing a shareholder relationship or processing transactions. More specifically, we suggest that Treasury either add the words "if such information is available to the broker-dealer" to the end of section 103.19(a)(2)(ii)(C) of the proposed rule, or delete the words "including the background and possible purpose of the transaction" from that section.13 To comply with the standard as we propose that it be revised, underwriters (either themselves or in conjunction with other agents of the fund) could, for example, monitor for "red flags" in the account opening process, and monitor transactions for suspicious methods of payment14 and suspicious patterns of activity, such as large redemptions.15 At a minimum, Treasury should clarify in the release adopting any SAR rule that will apply to fund transactions its expectation that a fund underwriter's (or fund's) SAR procedures should be based on information that the fund, its underwriter, or its transfer agent has obtained in the course of establishing a shareholder relationship or processing transactions.
Consistent with this, we also recommend that Treasury clarify in the release that when fund shares are held in the name of a broker-dealer or other intermediary (e.g., in an omnibus account), funds or their underwriters are not required to "look through" the broker-dealer or intermediary to report transactions of the broker-dealer's or intermediary's customers.16
2. The Scope of the Reporting Requirement
In the release accompanying the proposed broker-dealer SAR rule, Treasury indicates that it intends to create a "uniform reporting requirement for broker-dealers and banking organizations."17 As proposed, however, the SAR rule for broker-dealers places two significantly broader reporting obligations on broker-dealers: (1) a requirement to report suspicious transactions related to all crimes, not just federal crimes; and (2) a requirement to report transactions amounting to less than $25,000 where a suspect has not been identified. The release does not discuss any policy or other reasons that might justify this disparate treatment.
Requirement to Report All Crimes. Unlike the regulations issued by the bank regulators, the proposed broker-dealer SAR rule does not appear to be limited to the reporting of known or suspected violations of federal law. Instead of requiring the reporting of "a known or suspected violation of Federal law, or a suspicious transaction related to a money laundering activity or a violation of the Bank Secrecy Act,"18 the proposal would require broker-dealers to report "any suspicious transaction relevant to a possible violation of law or regulation, including "any known or suspected violation of Federal law, or a suspicious transaction related to a money laundering violation or a violation of the Bank Secrecy Act."19 This would appear to require broker-dealers, in contrast to banking organizations, to report possible violations of law other than federal law, including violations of foreign, state or local laws. This would place a burden on broker-dealers to know, identify and report transactions that would violate foreign law (where the U.S. government has no jurisdiction to prosecute the crimes) and state and local laws (which would include petty offenses). We believe that, like banks, broker-dealers only should be required to report known or suspected violations of federal criminal law and should be encouraged to report other crimes voluntarily.
$25,000 Threshold for Unidentified Suspects. All of the regulations issued by the bank regulators provide a $25,000 reporting threshold for known or suspected federal crimes (other than money laundering or BSA violations) involving an unidentified suspect.20 The SAR proposal for broker-dealers does not contain a similar provision. Thus, the broker-dealer SAR proposal would require broker-dealers to file SARs for attempted or completed transactions or patterns of transactions that aggregate to $5,000 or more, even when there is no substantial basis for identifying a suspect. We do not believe that there is any law enforcement or other rationale for treating banks and broker-dealers differently in this situation.
Like banks, broker-dealers (including fund underwriters), funds and fund shareholders can be the victims of crimes such as check fraud and identity theft where it is frequently difficult, if not impossible, to identify a suspect. Requiring the filing of SARs for these transactions under the $25,000 threshold would be costly and burdensome and would clutter the SAR database with information that provides little, if any, useful information to law enforcement. Absent a determination by Treasury that these reports would "have a high degree of usefulness in criminal, tax, or regulatory investigations or proceedings, or in the conduct of intelligence or counterintelligence activities . . . to protect against international terrorism,"21 that the costs outweigh the burdens to financial institutions, and that a reasonable basis exists for treating broker-dealers differently from banks, we strongly urge Treasury to raise the threshold for reporting known or suspected crimes (other than money laundering or BSA violations) for unidentified suspects from $5,000 to $25,000.
D. The Filing of Suspicious Activity Reports by Funds, Underwriters, and/or Transfer Agents
To maximize its effectiveness, any SAR regime for transactions involving fund shares clearly should be designed to avoid potential reporting gaps. It also should seek to avoid multiple, redundant filings with respect to the same transaction.
In this regard, we note that in some instances, more than one "financial institution" with SAR obligations may be involved in a given fund transaction, such as the fund's underwriter and transfer agent (if the transfer agent happens to be a bank or broker-dealer). Moreover, if Treasury adopts a separate SAR rule for funds, then funds themselves will be financial institutions required to report suspicious transactions.
We recommend that the SAR rule(s) applicable to transactions in fund shares allow a single report to satisfy the SAR obligations of the fund and its agents with respect to that transaction. This would be analogous to what Treasury has permitted for money services businesses, where the applicable rule provides that:
The obligation to identify and properly and timely to report a suspicious transaction rests with each money services business involved in the transaction, provided that no more than one report is required to be filed by the money services businesses involved in a particular transaction (so long as the report filed contains all relevant facts). Whether, in addition to any liability on its own for failure to report, a money services business that issues the instrument or provides the funds transfer service involved in the transaction may be liable for the failure of another money services business involved in the transaction to report that transaction depends upon the nature of the contractual or other relationship between the businesses, and the legal effect of the facts and circumstances of the relationship and transaction involved, under general principles of the law of agency.22
This type of flexible, functional approach would allow funds that follow different business models to select the entity that is in the best position to file the reports, while avoiding any potential reporting gaps. Moreover, it would reduce the number of redundant reports filed with FinCEN, thereby improving the efficiency of the SAR regime.
The foregoing recommendation contemplates that, for example, the fund's transfer agent could file an SAR that would satisfy the fund underwriter's reporting obligations with respect to a particular transaction. This approach often may make the most sense functionally, since the transfer agent, rather than the fund underwriter, often processes fund transactions and maintains shareholder accounts on behalf of the fund, and therefore is in the best position to file the SAR. An issue may arise, however, since the limitation of liability under proposed section 103.19(f) does not appear to cover a transfer agent acting as agent for a fund.23 (It would extend to a transfer agent acting as agent for the fund underwriter.) Treasury therefore should amend the proposed rule to make clear that the safe harbor applies to any investment company or its agent that files a report relating to purchases, redemptions or exchanges involving that investment company's shares.24
E. Compliance Examinations
Paragraph (g) of the proposed rule states that compliance "shall be examined by the Department of the Treasury, through FinCEN or its delegees" under the terms of the BSA, and that "reports filed under this section shall be made available to an SRO registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission examining a broker-dealer for compliance with the requirements of this section." This seems to contemplate that FinCEN's examination authority might ultimately be delegated to NASD Regulation, Inc.
We believe that the SEC's Office of Compliance, Inspections and Examinations (OCIE)—which likely will be responsible for examining funds' compliance with the requirement under Section 352 of the USA PATRIOT Act to establish anti-money laundering programs (and compliance with any fund SAR rule)—would be the most appropriate entity to examine fund underwriters' compliance with applicable suspicious activity reporting requirements. Unlike NASD Regulation, Inc., which only has jurisdiction over broker-dealers, OCIE would be in a position to examine funds and their relevant service providers (e.g.,underwriters and transfer agents) in a comprehensive and integrated fashion for compliance with applicable anti-money laundering requirements.

1 The Investment Company Institute is the national association of the American investment company industry. Its membership includes9,039 open-end investment companies ("mutual funds"), 486 closed-end investment companies and 6 sponsors of unit investment trusts. Its mutual fund members have assets of about $6.951trillion, accounting for approximately 95 percent of total industry assets, and over 88.6 million individual shareholders.
2 Proposed Amendment to the Bank Secrecy Act Regulations—Requirement of Brokers or Dealers in Securities to Report Suspicious Transactions, 66 Fed. Reg. 67670 (December 31, 2001).
3 Section 103.19(a) of the proposed rule.
4 For purposes of this letter, we refer to all purchases, redemptions, and exchanges involving securities issued by a fund as transactions in or involving fund shares.
5 A mutual fund is an investment company that pools money from shareholders and invests in a diversified portfolio of securities managed by the fund's investment adviser. Investors purchase shares of the fund, each of which represents a proportionate ownership in all the fund's underlying securities. Shares are redeemable. Funds also often allow shares to be exchanged for shares in another mutual fund sponsored by the same fund organization.
6 A closed-end fund is an investment company whose shares are listed on a stock exchange or are traded in the over-the-counter market. The fund's portfolio is managed by an investment adviser. Shares are not redeemable, but may be repurchased by the fund periodically.
7 A unit investment trust (UIT) is an investment company that buys and holds a generally fixed (unmanaged) portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other securities. "Units" in the trust are sold to investors (unitholders) who receive a share of principal and dividends (or interest). Units are redeemable securities, although the UIT sponsor may make a secondary market for them as well. A UIT has a stated date for termination that varies according to the investments held in its portfolio. When these trusts are dissolved, proceeds from the securities are either paid to unitholders or reinvested in another trust.
8 For example, it might be appropriate to treat closed-end investment companies differently from other funds and like other publicly traded issuers. The vast majority of transactions in shares of closed-end investment companies are effected through retail broker-dealers. Under the USA PATRIOT Act, broker-dealers are subject to a number of requirements that will provide anti-money laundering safeguards with respect to these transactions (e.g., suspicious activity reporting, customer identification and verification, and anti-money laundering programs).
9 Fund transfer agents that are banks or broker-dealers are or would be subject to their own SAR requirements.
10 See infra Section D.
11 See NASD Conduct Rule 2310. Of course, suitability requirements attach if any investment recommendation is made.
12 See NASD Conduct Rule 3110(c).
13 We would recommend the latter alternative only with respect to limited purpose broker-dealers, such as fund underwriters, that do not have background information on their customers.
14 These could include purchases of fund shares with travelers' checks, money orders and other cash equivalents, checks drawn in foreign currency, and third-party checks and wire transfers. Many funds currently prohibit or limit the ability of investors to purchase shares with these types of instruments. See Report to the Chairman, Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, Committee on Governmental Affairs, U.S. Senate, Anti-Money Laundering Efforts in the Securities Industry, GAO 02-111, October 2001 at 24-25 and fig.4. See also Investment Company Institute, "Money Laundering Compliance for Mutual Funds" (May 1999), at 20-28.
15 We note that patterns of activity may be more difficult to observe in fund accounts than in other types of financial accounts, since funds often are used as long-term savings vehicles. For example, a common pattern in a fund account may be a series of periodic investments followed by a large redemption. While a similar pattern might be suspicious in other contexts, in a fund account it may simply reflect an investor saving for a child's education or to buy a home.
16 In cases where a broker-dealer or banks acts as an intermediary, a requirement to "look through" not only would impose an inappropriate burden on the fund underwriter but also would result in duplicative reporting because the broker-dealer or bank would have its own SAR responsibilities.
17 66 Fed. Reg. at 67672.
18 See, e.g., 12 C.F.R. § 208.62(a) (Federal Reserve Board); 12 C.F.R. § 21.11(a) (OCC); and 12 C.F.R. § 353.1 (FDIC) (emphasis added).
19 Proposed 31 C.F.R. § 103.19(a) (emphasis added). In the preamble to the proposed rule, Treasury also explains that "the rule requires the reporting of all activity 'relevant to a possible violation of law or regulation,' including 'any known or suspected violation of Federal law." 66 Fed. Reg. at 67672.
20 See, e.g., 12 C.F.R. § 208.62(c)(3) (Federal Reserve); 12 C.F.R. § 21.11(c)(3) (OCC), and 12 C.F.R. § 353.3(a)(3) (FDIC).
21 31 U.S.C. § 5311. See also California Bankers Association v Schultz, 416 U.S. 31 (1974).
22 31 CFR §103.20(a)(4).
23 Presumably, this issue would not arise under a rule specifically applicable to funds, since the limitation of liability provision would be written to extend to funds filing reports and their agents.
24 Under the BSA, investment companies are covered by a statutory safe harbor provided to all financial institutions. See 31 U.S.C. 5318. If Treasury chooses not to amend proposed section 103.19 as we recommend, it should at a minimum make clear that this statutory safe harbor also applies to any of an investment company's agents, including its transfer agents.

HARKER HEIGHTS - A 62-year-old man who police said repeatedly rammed his truck into a pawn shop while drunk was arrested Thursday.
Wesley Alan Simons is charged with driving while intoxicated subsequent. Justice of the Peace Bill Cooke arraigned Simons Friday, setting his bail at $5,000. Police Chief Mike Gentry said Simons already posted bond.
Police arrested Simons in the parking lot of the 19th Hole Pawn Shop in the 500 block of West Veterans Memorial Boulevard. Police went to the scene about 7:45 p.m., Gentry said.
Police found Simons' blue truck parked with a flat tire. Simons had driven his truck into the building, causing damage to a window, according to an arrest affidavit.
Simons told police he accidentally drove into the building because his transmission stuck. However, police detected a strong odor of alcohol emanating from him, the affidavit states.
Gentry said Simons was trying to leave when he accidentally drove the truck forward instead of backward.
In the affidavit, an officer said Simons was swaying as he stood in place. When asked if he had been drinking, Simons told police he had two shots of whiskey.
Simons was unable to complete an eye test used to determine sobriety and failed a finger dexterity test. When asked to recite the alphabet, Simons skipped from the letter O to Z, the affidavit states.
A representative from the 19th Hole Pawn Shop said business was not interrupted by the incident. The store was open Friday.

Let's see, what else? Oh! I love animals, especially dinosaurs and other prehistoric things. I have lots of pets too, 2 dogs, and 2 lizards. Animals are just really cool, I can't really say why I like them so much but I just do.
Oh yeah, this is pretty important, I love to read. I do watch television during my spare time, but I prefer to be sitting down with my head in a book. What I read can vary but I don't like stuff with guns, it's kinda a turn off ya know?
If you want to know more I have answered a gadzillion of those questions, and I generally give my reasoning. Should give you an idea as to who I am.
I dunno, I would guess that is it for this category....
* I put up the 666 thing because I was labelled in league with Satan by one of those out there preachers while in college. I thought it was funny then, but sometimes I wonder why I used it on a dating website haha.
I am in a marketing position and sales position that is really just a glorified way of saying traveling sales guy for a big company.
But yeah, on a less philosophical note I am amazing at beating my little brother at any game he challenges me to(slight exaggeration....slight).
*I have recently been told that I am blunt...in a subtle way :-p
Some favorites are: The Princess Bride, Superman, Pride and Prejudice (BBC version), Ghostbusters, as well as any and all Kaiju films ( Godzilla).
As far as food goes...I love Mexican, Italian, and BBQ. I also enjoy things involving hot sauce....
And as for music I am always discovering a new band but my ALL TIME FAVORITE ALBUM EVER: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Sophie, the love of my life and best friend, our little girl Charlie and my family (hey they can count as one!), and my pets (I know this is lame to group but it's my profile).
Hey with a little more thought I could probably come up with some other stuff but basically that is about it.
I finally did it and she said "Yes"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Iran vows "crushing" response to any attack
Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was quoted as saying Saturday that his country's response to US and Israeli attack would be "crushing". Talking to IRNA, he stressed that neither Washington nor Tel Aviv is in a situation to create new crisis for themselves.
"The Zionist regime is still involved in aftershock of the Lebanese war, and the US has no capacity to enter another crisis in the Persian Gulf", he added.
As to the recent test-fire of Shihab-3 missile during a naval wargame, the Iranian minister said the exercise was aimed at displaying Iran's combat readiness and military potentials. The 1,000-kg Shahab-3 missile was test-fired on the third day of a war game launched by naval and missile sections of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps dubbed 'Payambar-e A'zam III' (the Great Prophet III) on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, an Iranian parliamentarian said on Saturday that Tehran is well-prepared to powerfully respond to any probable attack. Rapporteur of Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Kazem Jalali told reporters that the recent missile war game only displayed small part of Iran's combat potentials.
Referring to the threats to Iran in the past few weeks, Jalali said the military exercises were aimed at displaying Iran's full combat readiness to give crushing response to any probable attack against the country. Iran is not a war-mongering country and does not pose any threat to any world country, he reiterated.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Some thoughts on Sunday night's events at Candlestick Park:
What it means: The Detroit Lions fell to 1-1, matching the record of every other NFC North team. It's hard to conjure much criticism toward the Lions on this night, however. They were overwhelmed by a better and more powerful opponent playing its home opener, a result that seemed predictable since the day the NFL released its schedule. It's not as if the Lions botched a bunch of opportunities to win this game. The 49ers might be the best team in football.
For those asking: Lions coach Jim Schwartz and 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh shook hands without incident both before and after the game. Finis.
Mixing in the run: The Lions kept it close in large part because of an uncharacteristic commitment to the running game. Before they got into catchup mode in the fourth quarter, the Lions ran on 22 of their first 40 plays. Quarterback Matthew Stafford had 89 yards passing through three quarters. I don't blame the Lions for their approach; the 49ers defense is too good to be allowed to defend only half the field. Unfortunately for the Lions, they couldn't convert their possessions into touchdowns. Unofficially, they didn't throw a single pass into the end zone. As it turned out, place-kicker Jason Hanson accounted for most of their scoring with four field goals in five attempts.
Turning point I: The Lions forced the 49ers' first turnover in seven regular season games during the first quarter, a fumble by kick returner Kendall Hunter. But they weren't able to fully capitalize on it, gaining only two offensive yards, and settled for Hanson's 41-yard field goal. A touchdown would have given them a 10-7 lead and perhaps changed the complexion of the game.
Turning point II: After the Lions made it a one-score game at 20-12 on Hanson's fourth field goal, 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree converted three consecutive third-down receptions. The 49ers then sealed the game on Vernon Davis' 23-yard touchdown reception with three minutes, four seconds remaining.
Official confusion: Here's one I don't remember seeing before. Schwartz had to challenge a play to prove Stafford was sacked. Midway through the fourth quarter, referee Matt Nicks did not blow this whistle when Stafford's right knee hit the ground at the 49ers' 30-yard line after a hit by Aldon Smith. Stafford popped up and lost another six yards before getting tackled again. Nicks gave the Lions their six yards back after the review, and the decision left the Lions in position to end the possession with Hanson's 48-yard field goal. Nicks' crew also missed clear head shots on both quarterbacks, Stafford and the 49ers' Alex Smith, after scrambles. The blow Smith absorbed from Lions safety John Wendling left the bridge of his nose bleeding.
What's next: The Lions will play at the Tennessee Titans next Sunday.

UNICEF, Government of Japan help strengthen Armenian government's preparedness for pandemic flu
YEREVAN, 6 November 2007 – Over thirty senior governmental from a cross section of ministries and government agencies convened today to learn how to effectively relay key public messages during emergencies affecting public health.
The three-day symposium that brings together representatives from the ministries of health, agriculture, territorial administration, the Armenian Rescue Service as well as international agencies was organized by UNICEF through generous support from the Government of Japan, and in close collaboration with the Armenian Inter-Ministerial Task Force on Avian Influenza Preparedness and Response.
"The Government of Japan attaches great importance to this seminar as we know how important collaboration between media and governmental agencies is during emergencies. We are glad that we are able to help governments in this region to better prepare for a possible pandemic flu," Takeshi Hikihara, Economic Minister of the Embassy of Japan to Russian and Armenia said.
"This symposium on crisis communication and media relations during national health emergencies is being held in times when the world is facing the threat of Avian and Pandemic influenza, and governments throughout the world are working hard to put in place national preparedness plans to confront this challenge," UNICEF Representative in Armenia, Sheldon Yett said in his opening remarks.
The objective of this symposium is to equip senior governmental officials and spokespersons with essential skills and strategies for communicating key messages to local and international media during health emergencies.
"Rumors and misleading information can be as dangerous as an emergency itself as they may aggravate the impact of an emergency on populations. Information provided to affected populations in a timely and coordinated manner can save lives and prompt people to respond to consequences of an emergency in a proper way," Levon Rukhkyan, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and chair of the Inter-Ministerial Task Force on Avian Influenza said, adding that having a firm communication strategy in place "greatly increases the likelihood that the media coverage of the outbreak will be responsible and contribute positively to emergency response efforts."
This year similar seminars for government officials have already been held in Bosnia, Bulgaria, Kyrgyzstan and Serbia.

Upper West Side
Upper West, from Central Park West to the Hudson River, 59th Street (excluding Columbus Circle) to 110th Street.
Every ten blocks of the Upper West Side seem to have its own character. The 70s and 80s have their share of "Classic Six" prewar apartments (that's two bedrooms, a living room, dining room, and kitchen plus a room for the maid or domestic staff, sometimes used as a home office) as opposed to a "Classic Seven," which has all these rooms in addition to another bedroom. Along Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side, some grand-scale apartment buildings with magnificent river views perfectly match the street's name. Meanwhile, the southern bit of the Upper West Side embraces the Time Warner Center, which has some of the most spectacular luxury condos in the city, along with high-end shops like Coach and Hugo Boss, once-in-a-lifetime eateries like Per Se, and a giant subterranean Whole Foods that seems to have the capability to hold every resident of the Upper West Side at once.

text: Well, I've recently bought my first house back in early August. With the long hours at work and little improvements here and there, I haven't had too much time to do what I've waited my whole life to do...and that's to have my own Cowboys room. Now, I've collected so much through my life with one day having the space to display it all. I lucked out with the house having an oversized bedroom due to the previous owners building an addition to a bedroom (for their son). I wanted to keep the room as classy as possible while also conveying my unwavering loyalty to the silver and blue. Therefore, a good portion of my collectible items didn't fit the bill to display, however some treasured items that were passed down from my father had to go up. One of those is a pennant that had graced my bedroom wall ever since I can remember. I believe it's from the late 70's but am not totally certain. I have to say that I like what Fathead has done. They really add some character to your room..in this case, a sports room. In case there was any doubt, I am a huge Troy Aikman fan. There's nothing like having #8 prominently displayed on my wall. Tony Romo has also become one of my favorite all-time players. I see no reason why he shouldn't adorn the same wall as Aikman. Both are two of the classiest players that have worn the star, in my opinion. For those interested, my father and I painted the room using the Gliddens paint advertised by the Home Depot NFL color chart. One item of note, the silver listed on the Home Depot color chart is a dark silver (we referred to it as battleship gray). After painting one wall, we decided to stop and go back to the color chart. Turns out that the closest color we found is French Silk. This particular silver is on the walls now. The navy blue is spot on as listed on the chart. Below are some pics. Pardon the quality as they were taken from my dated smart phone.

FatBoy Beanbag Chair
I love these Fatboy Beanbag chairs almost more than my kids do! They're great for all ages! My husband and kids and I love using them to sit on to read books, watch tv or a movie, and hang out. My kids also love to jump on them! They're fun to snuggle with and super comfortable!
A unique little accessory for the home. This mason jar stores sunlight, and casts a subtle glow later in the night.Added 8 Years Ago from Amazon.com
They are perfect for camping if you dont like those pad things or if you an extra bed. I once tripped with a knife (whoops) and popped one, but normally it is pretty hard to.
