Janet Yellen: Objective is a 'robust recovery' for US economy
Janet Yellen, the woman the White House wants to run the Federal Reserve, has defended its stimulus efforts and vowed to continue them if confirmed.
In her first appearance in front of Congress, she said her objective was "to ensure a strong and robust recovery so that we get back to full employment".
Ms Yellen has been chosen to lead the US central bank once Ben Bernanke's term ends in January. To be confirmed, she needs 60 votes.

Jimmy Kimmel Didn't Look Like Himself Last Night (VIDEO)
Shhh, we've replaced late-night host Jimmy Kimmel with fellow-late-night host Jay Leno. Let's see if anybody notices.
Poking fun at the recent programming drama over at NBC, the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host donned a prosthetic chin and gray wig on his show last night to get a few digs in at Leno's expense. Or maybe he was making a not-so-subtle play for Leno's spot?
Check out the video and let us know how Kimmel fared in the comments section.

About 18 months ago, a letter came from a New York law firm inviting me to participate in a class-action lawsuit. The case involved a mortgage company that had gone broke during the big housing bust of 2007.
There were a number of reasons why the real estate market crashed. One was that some powerful members of Congress were insisting banks and loan companies provide home mortgages to those who really couldn't afford them. Another was a popular financing scheme — sarcastically known as NINJA loans (no income, job or assets).
During the "boom," everyone wanted part of this moneymaking action. Loan companies began to appear out of nowhere. They filled small offices in suburban strip malls across the country. Once the momentum was underway, becoming a homeowner was as simple as signing a loan application.
I wanted my piece of the pie by investing in a home loan mortgage company. It was not a fly-by-night outfit, but one with a reputable name on Wall Street that was traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
However, staying ethical for these guys was apparently just too much. No doubt they looked around and saw their competitors making money hand-over-fist with NINJA loans. It was an irresistible temptation.
When the crash finally came, it hit hard. Millions of homes were in foreclosure. As most remember, Stockton was reported to be the worst in the country for these unprecedented financial failures.
The company in which I had invested lost hundreds of millions of dollars. Their stock went from $24 per share to just a few pennies and was delisted from the Exchange — hence, the reason for the class-action litigation.
"Why not participate in the suit?" I thought. If I could recover a fraction of my losses, it would be worth the effort.
Of course, the law firm's agent didn't make it easy. You see, the more victims who join as claimants, the less assets of the bankrupt company are left to split "fairly," as determined by a court.
First of all, I had to "prove" that I owned the stock during the period of unscrupulous activity. That meant going through old records from years past and making copies of these statements.
Next, I had to fill out a four-page form — duplicating some of the copied information, along with my standing as a claimant in the suit. I also had to sign a disclosure stating my participation barred me from pursuing any claim as an individual against the bankrupt loan company.
Finally, I rechecked everything to make sure all the paperwork was in order. The legal-sized envelope was sealed, taken to the post office and sent by certified mail. Two weeks later, I got a form letter confirming my claim had been received.
Months went by, and I heard nothing. When a year had passed, I'd actually forgotten about the whole issue.
Then last week, I was sifting through the mail. There, among the bills and pizza coupons, was what appeared to be a check. The return address was "Litigation Settlement Fund." My ship had come in — or so it seemed.
I didn't open the letter at the post office. Instead, I headed home — dreaming of what my settlement share would buy: Perhaps dinner for two at a fine restaurant? How about a weekend in Carmel? Maybe a trip to Disneyland?
I sat at the breakfast table and cut open the correspondence with a kitchen knife. Suddenly, my mind went blank. I couldn't believe what my eyes were telling me. There was an official cashier's check in the full amount of $2.23!
Two dollars and twenty-three cents? This was all that remained of my few thousand-dollar investment? Well, I'm sure the law firm handling the case had no problem taking the first cut, which probably amounted to several million.
I had just completed another lesson in life. As a result, I'll think twice the next time I receive an unsolicited letter to join a class action suit.
After filling out the paperwork and waiting more than a year for a "proportionate share," the final settlement didn't even pay my postage!

Tank Gets Tased?
The word is that Tank and a lady friend were leaving a New Orleans nightclub were trying to walk past a roadblock that was set up by the police. Apparently, the police weren't happy about that so they felt the need to tackle this man to the ground and use their taser on him. Come on...was that really necessary? Why do these police officers think it's okay to abuse people? They do it because there are no consequences for their actions. Think about how many times we have heard of police officers shooting someone or beating the hell out of someone and they get off with a tap on the hand. This has got to stop. One thing I know is that the 5-0 in the N.O don't play Fa' Sho! LOL Keep ya' head up Tank.

Cash Money Gets Popped!
Bryan "Baby" Williams from Cash Money Records and 17 others from his entourage were arrested for drug and gun charges. The story goes...They were driving down Interstate 81 when they were pulled over by the police for making an improper lane change. After searching the RV they were driving, the police found marijuana and guns. They were charged with possession of marijuana and gun charges. Yada. Yada. Yada. How many times have we heard the story of a rapper getting caught doing the same damn thing? If you've heard one story, then you have heard them all. The point of reported this story is this...one of the people who were arrested was Baby's 18 year wife, Britney. Yes, I said 18 years old! I thought that was hilarious! Why the hell is he married to an 18 year old? Was she legal when he met or did he kick it with her until she turned 18 and then married her? I just thought this was interesting. You can form your own lil' opinion. Here's a picture of the 18 year Young Stunna.

Not the Hogans?!
Apparently, Linda Bollea has filed for divorce from her wrestler husband, Hulk Hogan. Supposedly, Hulk had no idea that his wife filed for divorce. Sounds like Hulk didn't get the memo because he was advised by a reporter that the paperwork was filed on Tuesday. After hearing the news Hulk Hogans reply was..." "My wife has been in California for about three weeks. ... Holy smokes," Hulk later told the newspaper. "Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me." Man! These people have been married for 24 years and you mean to tell me that they can't find a way to make it work? All I'm saying is that 24 years is a long time and I'm pretty sure with a couple of that whateva' they are going through can be squashed. Come on Hulk and Linda...don't let Hollywood get the best of you. I think they need to take a romantic vacation, let the Hulk put on his tight little yellow skimpies and have a lil' wrestling match together!

Young Buck Robbed?
Thanks to the lovely people at MediaTakeout; it has been reported that Young Buck may have been robbed. According to the report, he was leaving a nightclub in Tennessee when he was robbed at gunpoint. They yanked his jewels and possibly his Bentley. Buck...say it ain't so! This could happen to anyone and I certainly hope this is a rumor. If it is true, my heart goes out to Buck and I hope that he's okay. It just puzzles me how these rappers talk about pistol packing, knocking off domes, etc and get ganked by a average dude trying to get his paper up. If you gonna rap about it be about it. I would have liked the rumor to go like this..."Young Buck was leaving a nightclub in Tennessee when he was involved in a botched robbery attempt. An armed man attempted to rob Buck of his jewels and Bentley but was not successful because Buck pistol whooped the guy until the cops arrived, etc." I guess the picture that I have created in my head from the rhymes that we hear are not always on point. Maybe he should change it up on his next album and rap about some "not so hood" sh*t.

Message From Goddess: Cheating
It's been a long time...I shouldn't have left you. So I know that I have been out of pocket for the past few days but I'm baaaack. I'm sure you missed me. Before I give the message let me say that this is not intended to be a male bashing session. I love men...love them! Don't get it twisted. Okay so, back to cheating. Cheating in relationships happens alot more often than we are willing to admit and I must admit than I'm not completely innocent myself. Cheating happens and it will continue to happen...that's life. But CHEATERS...let me give you a few tips. Consider the other persons feelings. When you are caught just admit it(you are being asked for a reason). If you have a wife...you may want to tell the person that you are cheating with so that they can decide if they want to get rapped up in your crap! Oh yeah and if you are married, it's not cheating it's ADULTERY and that's a whole 'nother ballgame. If you have children, just be faithful...why would you want to potentially mess up their life? Beyonce said it best when she said.."It's just me, myself and I...that's all I got in the end." Now if she would have just added God and family...that would be a great theme song. Nevertheless, life is fast, it's over before you know it so live each day like it's your last, laugh like everything is hilarious, keep it pimpin' and don't sweat the small stuff or other peoples mistakes. It gets better!

Kanye West performed at a concert last night in Paris. He broke down in tears during his performance in an attempt to dedicate a song to his mother. Reading the stories about the death of Dr. West have been sad but I must admit when I seen this clip of Kanye breaking down into tears....I cried. It all seems so real now. This is heartwrenching. Dr. West's funeral is to be held Tuesday in Oklahoma. It's okay to cry Ye, it helps us get through the bad times. That doesn't kill you, will make you stronger. Grab some tissue and take a look at this portion of his concert below:

An ice cream maker will break ground Monday on a new distribution center on Tucson's southeast side.
Blue Bell Creameries will build a 14,000-square-foot building at 9398 E. Old Vail Road and plans to open in the fall.
The popularity of the frozen treats led to plans for the permanent facility, said Angela Muniz, a spokeswoman for the company.

Western Sydney Wanderers striker Labinot Haliti is likely to start his first A-League grand final in place of the injured Mark Bridge but has played down the importance of his involvement now that his club has proved their midfielders and defenders can score just as easily as the strikers.
All nine of the Wanderers' goals in their past three games were scored by different players, some defenders, and Haliti said the growing confidence of their ruthless streak in front of goal deemed it almost irrelevant who starts in place of Bridge.
In their build-up to their deciding match of the season, the Wanderers have shown they have an abundance of scorers as the likes of defensive midfielder Iacopo La Rocca, centre-back Nikolai Topor-Stanley and midfielder Shannon Cole have all shared the scoresheet with the usual suspects.
Their ability to cut through teams in recent weeks had led to a level of confidence that Haliti said was as infectious among the squad as it was becoming intimidating for opponents.
"It's special for us; we can score from any part of the field like Iacopo did on the weekend," Haliti said. "It's a special feeling. I don't want this to be end of the season because I enjoy it so much every day. It's amazing, I'm privileged and grateful.
"We can score in the last minute, extra time or even if it goes to penalties. We need to take on what the coaching staff has put in front of us, and we're sure goals come. The goals are taking care of themselves whether it's the first minute or the last minute."
Haliti hasn't been a prolific goal scorer at Western Sydney but a scorer in important matches as he has never scored in a loss, and his most recent domestic goal came at the expense of the Roar in a 1-1 draw. Although he played down his role and that of a super-sub and stressed that he was just one of a system who pose danger from many angles.
"For a player like myself to be apart of it and the coaching staff we have, it's so great because when we step on the field, we know everyone's got each other's back. It doesn't matter who scores our goals as long as we win the match. Every individual is so confident now, everyone is on board. We're all fit and it's so great when we have different scorers. Everyone's chipping in, and that's what a good team is about. It's a game for a squad not just a team."
The 28-year-old is regarded as the natural replacement on the left wing of the Wanderers' attack but will not likely know until game day whether he walks out of the tunnel at Suncorp Stadium in the season's decider. While he's relishing the prospect of playing in front of over 50,000 in Brisbane, he laments that it might come at the expense of a player who was one of his first teammates in professional football.
"It's unfortunate with Bridgey. I don't know what the latest is, but we don't want that and we played together at Newcastle, we've known each other for a long time. But I'm sure whoever comes in will do the job," Haliti said. "As a player, you want to be a part of that; I'm no different. But it's a team game so whoever gets the nod will do well. For me, whether I start or I'm on the bench isn't important as long as I can contribute to the team somehow, some way."

How do You Retain Generation X Millennial Employees?
The first question we need to ask ourselves is: Why is a company referred to as "The Best Company to Work For"? What do they do to make their employees happy?
First and foremost they are truly interested in happy employees; they try to understand what makes them happy.
Two things are evident:
- The business environment is changing
- Whether or not employees are happy definitely impacts the bottom line.
Organization leaders feel the pressure as 80 million Baby Boomers are getting ready to retire, but only 44 million Generation X Millenials are coming up to fill in the space. The leadership pool appears to be shrinking.
Attitudes of yesterday are changing…
Fading quickly are the thoughts:
- I should be grateful that I have a job.
- There are so many people waiting to take my position.
Coming just as quickly, if not quicker are the thoughts:
- I need to like where I work and what I do.
- Work is more than just a paycheck, I want to make a difference.
- I wasn't appreciated so I left.
- My job doesn't feel right, so I am looking for a new one.
- I need to enjoy my work, this job isn't fun.
The list could go on and on, but what it's telling us is that companies are recognizing that if employees aren't happy, if they don't feel their employment is a "good fit", they will move on to something else.
How do you appeal to different generations?
Organizations that understand and try to create a positive work environment for each generation will be able to avoid:
- Productivity decreases
- Dissatisfied employees
- High employee turnover
It's interesting to note that each generation has a different outlook about their jobs or careers.
Living through the Great Depression and World War II, Traditionalists are very grateful to even have a job, and desire to leave a legacy and build something for the greater good.
Baby Boomers grew up with opportunity and possibility, equal rights for everyone and an educated middle class. The job market was highly competitive, as 80 million peers created a "driven" generation.
They worked hard, often with 20 hour work days and proudly wearing company colors. Their ideal was to have fantastic careers embellished with awards, honors and plaques that were awarded because of great statistics backing them up.
GenX-ers lived at a time where things fell apart. During the 1970s and 1980s they watched their parents get laid off without warning, the divorce rate triple, corruption in the leadership of the government and the beginning of latch key kids. X-ers want to be defined by more than their job.
They realize that great achievements and amazing results are not worth the cost of their family or personal health. They understand the concept that "the cheese can be moved without warning" and that they need to be prepared for the next big problem.
Their focus is on careers that are portable to prepare for a cataclysmic event in the future. They will then be ready to take the skills they have developed and move on.

Dear Hank, Mark, Annette and other Listers!
Thank you all very much for wonderful information on Lars Enderson/Anderson! I am amazed at what you find! In particular was it wonderful to get that death for Lars in 1902, although I do wonder how he ended up being buried in Kandiyohi Co., MN. Maybe that was the closest larger hospital from Murray Co., MN?
And then I'll go for Gertrude Anderson as "my" Gertrude. Maybe she is buried next to Lars after all?
Very sincerely yours,
Lars E. Oyane

White House photographer Pete Souza has posted a new crop of photos on the White House Flickr feed, giving us another behind-the-scenes look at President Barack Obama's goings-on this summer.
While Obama may be locked in a tight battle for re-election, it doesn't seem to be getting him down. From hanging out with Lebron James to feeding kids strawberry pie in Ohio, the president looks like he's actually having a great time on the campaign trail.

I can also use these skills to help buyers truly understand the buying process minus the spin and uncover what really matters today, and years from now when the tables are turned and it is time to sell.
Working with a good agent will either save you money, make you some or both. Find an experienced, straight shooting partner that you can relate to and trust. Have a look around; learn about Madison real estate and learn about me. My hope is that this window into my life, my work and my methods, will show you I am that agent.
The Madison market is constantly changing and buying and selling homes can be challenging. Success lies not in a program or strategy but within a relationship and the sharing of knowledge and experience. I look forward to building that relationship with you.
One more thing… It would be great if you "Liked" benanton.com on facebook. It will also keep you on top of any of my new listings or apartment vacancies. It's kind of like having a man on the inside. No pressure.

District must decide its message to LGBTQ teens04/30/17 Human Interest
A group called the Liberty Counsel has accused Riverview High teacher Lora Jane Riedas of going too far in her efforts to send positive messages to LGBTQ students and crossing into political activism.
Riedas, openly gay and the adviser for the school's Gay-Straight Student Alliance, told Tampa Bay Times reporter Marlene Sokol she's convinced she's done nothing wrong.
The district's professional standards office is reviewing the complaint, and how it frames its decision will send a message to LGBTQ teens and all students....
Hooper: Lawmakers in Tallahassee in dire need of empathy lessons04/23/17 Human Interest
Author and educational psychologist Michelle Borba delivered an important message at Thursday's annual Frameworks luncheon, sharing how it's never been more important in this increasingly self-absorbed world to instill empathy in our youth.
Citing both empirical and anecdotal evidence, she made a compelling argument on how children can benefit from the social and emotional learning Frameworks annually delivers to 45,000 Hillsborough students....
Hooper: Saint Leo writers retreat offers breath of fresh air04/21/17Events
I've got a secret.
Don't tell anyone.
On May 20, I'll be one of the presenters at the fifth annual Sandhill Writers Retreat at Saint Leo University, but if you think I'm going to show up for my session and leave, guess again.
That's the secret. I'm going to sneak in early and attend as many presentations as I can. I discovered two years ago at the retreat that there's so much joy and insight to be gained from discussing the craft of writing....
Jackie Robinson's example proved a beacon for pioneering Tampa attorney04/18/17 The Heater
As a teen, Delano S. Stewart woke every morning to check the newspaper.
He longed to know how his favorite player fared in the game the night before, but he noted every hit and stolen base recorded by that player as more than statistical footnotes.
If Jackie Robinson went 2-for-3 during the late 1940s and 1950s, it did more than help the Brooklyn Dodgers win on the diamond. Stewart says Robinson's success served as a beacon for every black person during that time....
Hooper: HBO show 'Girls' makes strong case for modern TV04/16/17 Human Interest
My idea of a new television show typically revolves around discovering an episode of Perry Mason I've never seen.
Everybody under the age of 30 just asked, "Who's Perry Mason?"
But my 24-year-old son has made it his mission to introduce me to 21st century TV. His latest triumph: getting me to watch Girls, an HBO show that features four of the most unlikable characters in the history of the medium....
Hooper: From $7 and one diaper to college graduate04/15/17 Human Interest
Seven dollars.
One diaper.
A child struggling through the complications of premature birth.
These elements of Melanie Rojas-Silva's remarkable resurrection story actually understate how much she has overcome since hitting a homeless, penniless nadir.
Silva, 37, left the care of her grandmother in Puerto Rico and joined her parents in the United States at the age of 11, stepping into a home rife with domestic abuse. She and her younger siblings found themselves in the middle of constant tumult until one night when the battles came to a head....

Public transit could rally fans to new stadium04/09/17 Human Interest
As the Rays' stadium situation appears to move toward a "Forever St. Petersburg" conclusion next to Tropicana Field, I'm stuck on one troubling thought.
Yes, a new stadium may generate more corporate support and spur more fans to go to games.
But as I sat in traffic Thursday afternoon crawling toward St. Petersburg, I couldn't help but think more than polished digs will be required to resolve the team's attendance woes....

I didn't plan on attending the LifeLink Foundation news conference Thursday morning.
But somebody did.
I didn't think I had time to squeeze it into my schedule.
But somebody did.
Maybe it was luck or maybe just serendipity, but I like to think the events of that morning happened for a reason.
LifeLink had called the news conference to unveil two new murals promoting organ donation at the Hillsborough County Tax Collector's Office on Hillsborough Avenue. I had received a notice about the event earlier in the week, but decided to pass because I already had a busy day planned....
Hooper: Malls are more than retail centers04/05/17Columns
I'm worried about what we lose if malls disappear, and I'm not talking about big sales and free food court chicken.
Payless Shoes filed for bankruptcy this week, Sears reportedly is on the brink of bankruptcy and Macy's and JCPenney are in the process of closing more than 100 stores across the country.
In the world of retail, the closures don't represent hiccups, they constitute a trend. As more and more people choose to do their shopping online, big department stores and mainstream clothing outlets continue to take a hit....
Hooper: Randall Drayton stands tall for all the right reasons04/03/17Features
The first time I spotted Randall Drayton on the sidelines at an Armwood High football game, he stood out, even among a team of seasoned players and budding superstars.
At 6-foot-4 and 290 pounds, how could he not? Drayton was a "bus player," one of the first guys you had get off the bus to intimidate the opponent.
When my son, also a member of the Armwood team, asked me to give him a ride home — to a trailer on a dirt road east of the school — he came across as respectful and quiet....
Hooper: Being mayor might be a bit easier for some than others04/02/17 Human Interest
Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn and St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman will field questions at today's Florida Economic Forum at Bryan Glazer Family JCC. Clearly, it'll be a bit easier for Buckhorn. He has already earned his second term. No word on whether Rick Baker plans to attend. . . .
Of course, neither Buckhorn nor Kriseman have the unenviable task of being the mayor of Clearwater. In a high-stakes game, George Cretekos must balance Scientology's development plans with what's best for the city. The church holds all the cards and David Miscavige may be dealing from under the deck....
Greater unity a must to keep Rays' home in region03/26/17 Human Interest
Anything is possible, and the Rays might end up moving to another city.
Yet it's difficult for me to believe Major League Baseball wants to give up on one of the nation's fastest growing areas. Last year, 58,000 people moved to Tampa Bay, placing it in the nation's top 10 for growth. It's an undeniable market dynamic.
But like so many other aspects of our community, greater regional cooperation and a concerted push toward a stadium solution would solidify the Rays' place in Tampa Bay. That the search continues isn't reason for panic. Better to get it right than rush and end up with another problematic situation....
Hooper: Let's 'make it better' for LGBTQ teens03/24/17 Human Interest
As a prelude to tonight's performance of It Gets Better, the traveling musical production that chronicles true stories of the LGBTQ experience, the David A Straz Center for the Performing Arts staged a "World Cafe'' Wednesday evening.
It's goal: to encourage a community conversation about the challenges faced by the LGBTQ community, especially teens.
The term "It Gets Better" stems from a campaign sparked by nationally syndicated sex advice columnist Dan Savage, who wanted to reduce the growing number of LGTBQ teen suicides with a message of encouragement....

Home > National News > Article
Victorian hospital emergency departments went on ambulance bypass 448 times in the September quarter, a big increase on the June quarter, but noticeably less than during the same period last year.
The latest snapshot of the state's public hospital system also shows that 292,420 people were admitted to hospital in the September quarter, almost 8000 more than in the same period last year.
The Hospital Services Report for the period, released yesterday by Health Minister Bronwyn Pike, shows a health system getting busier, but performing better on several measurements.
Victorian emergency departments treated almost 195,000 patients in the September quarter, 1000 more than last year.
And the number of patients on surgery waiting lists dropped by more than 1500 to 37,972 over the year to September 30.
While there was a big drop in the number of "non-urgent" patients waiting for operations, the number of patients categorised as "semi-urgent" jumped by more than 700 to 14,687.
The number of "urgent" cases rose slightly, to 709, at September 30.
Ms Pike said hospitals were doing an "admirable job" in a very difficult environment.
They were admitting and treating many more patients, bulk-billing rates were falling, there was a shortage of after-hours doctors and the Federal Government was not providing enough hospital funding, she said.
There had been a steady drop in surgery waiting lists and ambulance bypass figures compared with last year, she said.
Ms Pike defended the latest bypass figures, saying they were "trending in the right direction". Bypass occurs when an emergency department says it is full and cannot take more ambulance patients unless they are critically ill or injured.
"There's always a lot more work to be done, but we're seeing a massive increase in the number of patients who are admitted . . . there always will be some seasonal fluctuations, and I anticipate and expect that. "There are times of the year when hospitals do see more people, when there's an influx of colds and flus," she said.
The emergency department of the Northern Hospital in Epping illustrates the growing demands on the hospital system. The emergency department treated a record 13,864 patients in the September quarter, a 22.2 per cent jump on the same period last year. The emergency department was busier than all others in Victoria except for one, Sunshine Hospital.
The hospital's general manager, Robert Burnham, said the rise was due to soaring population growth in the region, the decline in bulk-billing by GPs and a tendency of GPs to work less after hours, on public holidays and on weekends.
Demand had risen steadily by about 7 per cent a year over the past four years, but had increased significantly this year, he said. "And the question is, for how long can the Northern Hospital sustain such an increase in demand," he said. "At the moment, we are coping."
Opposition health spokesman David Davis said hospitals were not being flooded by patients, with total admissions up in the September quarter by just 2.7 per cent compared with last year.
"Today we have seen another massive failure by the Bracks Labor Government," he said. "This Government that promised to fix health care when it came to power in 1999 and again in 2002, has conspicuously failed to deliver."

|HomeHarvard Trade Union ProgramPensions ProjectWertheim FellowshipContactStatsSalary CheckerSalary Survey
The Project worked with the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) and the Trade Union Advisory Committee to the OECD (TUAC) (with the Global Unions Committee on Workers Capital as a knowledge partner) to convene a meeting modeled on the Project's annual "Capital Matters: Managing Labor's Capital Conference." This one-day event, "Capital Maters in Europe 2009," took place in Brussels on December 10th. It brought together member-nominated pension fund trustees, trade union officers, pension and other experts and policy makers who offered views and shared experiences from across Europe and from a transatlantic perspective. It focused on how workers' and their families' retirement and other long term savings can be invested in productive assets in the real economy in a fair, sustainable and responsible way and not diverted into unproductive financial transactions and speculation. For more details see http://www.etui.org/en/Events/2009/December-10-Brussels-Seminar-Capital-Matters-in-Europe-2009

"To silence those who criticise him and the other champions for being mediocre, Ruiz insists there be a round-robin," said a statement from his camp.
"There is no other way to end the debate that surrounds the division."
Ruiz admits his plan may be compromised by the outcome of Vitali Klitschko's WBC defence against Danny Williams.
That title is the only one of the big four - WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO - to fall outside promoter Don King's control.
But in the event of Williams or Klitschko refusing to participate, Ruiz has called for the other champions to still put their belts on the line.
"Ruiz insists he fight either IBF champ Chris Byrd or WBO holder Lamon Brewster to unify two of the world titles with the winner promised a fight for the remaining one."

Winona Republican-Herald, The (Newspaper) - June 17, 1950, Winona, Minnesota Page 4 THE WINONA REPUBLICAN-HERALD, WINONA, MINNESOTA 'Unity1 Flag Recommended For Enlarged United States By Alex Raymond (Sixth of a series.) In preceding articles of this ser- ies, five suggestions for a new na- tional Hag design have been pre- sented. A change in the flag's de- sign is made necessary by addi- tion of Alaska and Hawaii to the Union. The change must be more than merely a matter of adding two new stars to the field. The 48 stars of the present flag are arranged in six equal rows of eight each. Plac- ing 50 stars in even rows means the proportions of the field must be altered or the stars made small- er. Either of the arrangements will affect the appearance of the flag to a noticeable extent. Since the appearance of the flag will be changed, it is In order to consider adoption of one or more ideas advocated by artists who feel that the whole design of the flag could and should be Improved. It also could be given more perma- nence. Thirty-eight years is the longest period the flag has gone unchanged. Designs presented earlier in this series may have appeared at first glance to be an abandonment of everything In our flag except the colors yet all were suggested by one or more of the 100 flags that have flown over our nation's ter ritory during its history. Here, in the larger drawing, is what might be considered the most ing. radically different of the suggested Advice on Health New Uses Of X-Ray, Radium By Herman N. Bnndesen, M.D. The scope of X-ray and radium has constantly been enlarged so that today irradiation in these two forms is being successfully used In the treatment of a large num- ber of different conditions. In some cases it is the best method; in other disorders, it is a useful aid to other forms of treatment. Though the average person does not realize it, irradiation has proved valuable in dealing with certain types of infection. Just how it works is not known, but the gen- eral opinion is that.by destroying the white blood cells known as lymphocytes, it liberates sub- stances with germ-killing powers. It also increases the flow of blood to the affected part, always a help- ful measure in overcoming infec- tion. Among the infections .In- which irradiation is helpful are boils and carbuncles, pimples, eczema, ring- worm of the scalp, and sinus in- fection. Early Treatment It has been noted that carbun- cles, when treated early by irradi- ation, may be entirely warded off. Carbuncles commonly occur on the back of the neck in the deeper por- tions of the tissues under the skin. But, in all cases, the irradiation relieves pain and speeds up heal- ng. radically ainerem, 01 uic The irradiation is also helpful in arrangements.

The FHA streamline refinance loan program
is available to homeowners that currently have a FHA loan.
There are tow versions of the FHA Streamline Loan. The first is the simplest and least costly. It is called a FHA Streamline
loan without an appraisal.
streamlined loans emerged onto the mortgage scene in the early 1980's. Since then, thousands of FHA home owners have utilized this program to lower their interest rate with fewer costs and relative ease.
A FHA streamlined refinance loan refers only to the amount of documentation and underwriting that is conducted on a loan file by the mortgage company. Mortgage companies may offer streamlines "no cost" (actually no out-of-pocket expenses to the borrower) by charging a higher interest rate on the new loan. Other companies may offer
a streamline refinance that wrap the costs into the new mortgage amount. Unfortunately, there must be sufficient equity in the property. Before deciding which option best fits your needs, it is important to weigh not only the costs but also the long term impact that a higher rate or a higher mortgage payment will have.
FHA streamline refinance loans with or without and appraisal, do not require
full credit underwriting.
As of September 18th, HUD and Lenders have adopted some provisions regarding
prior mortgage late payments. New individuals may be added to title on a streamline refinance without credit review. Deleting individuals from title on a streamline refinance may require qualification (certain exceptions may apply).
The following are basic requirements of an FHA streamlined refinance:
Borrowers who refinance their delinquent non-FHA ARM loan into
FHASecure and subsequently
wish to refinance to another FHA-insured mortgage must use a
refinance product that requires full qualifying, e.g., a rate
and term refinance. Once the FHA-to-FHA full qualifying
refinance is insured, these borrowers will be able to take
advantage of FHA's Streamline Refinance program.
The mortgage to be refinanced must already be FHA insured
and the borrower must have made at least 6 payments on the current FHA Loan.
The mortgage to be refinanced (if less than 12 months
old) the borrower must have made all mortgage payments in the month due
(no delinquent payment of 30 days)
The mortgage to be refinanced (if greater than 12 months
old) not have more than 1x30 days late in the last 12 months AND
made all payments within 3 months of the application within the month due (i.e.
no 30 day late's in the last 3 months)
The refinance must lower the TOTAL mortgage payment of the previous mortgage
by 5% if going from Fixed rate to a Fixed rate. Special conditions
apply when going from ARM to Fixed, Fixed to ARM or reducing the Loan Term.
The borrower may not receive cash from loan proceeds in
excess of $500.
Any Assets need to close must be Verified.
The Lender must certify to HUD that the borrower is
employed and has income at the time of the application.
Any subordinate financing may remain in place as long as
it is subordinated on title and does not exceed 125% Combined Loan to Value (CLTV).
For Streamlines w/out an appraisal the value is based on the original appraised
value from the prior Fully Underwritten FHA loan.
The term of the new mortgage must be the lesser of 30 years or the unexpired term of the mortgage plus 12 years. A borrower cannot refinance from a 15 year loan to a 30 year loan.
An appraisal is not required unless the closing costs are wrapped into the loan. Streamline refinances without an appraisal are limited to the unpaid principal balance, minus any refund credit of the mortgage insurance premium (MIP), plus the new upfront MIP if it is to be financed in the mortgage.
No termite report is required
The borrower cannot be late, delinquent, or in default of any federal debt.

Four of a fleet of so-called ghost ships are already docked at Hartlepool-based Able UK, awaiting permission for break up work to begin.
Green campaigners claim the vessels contain high levels of toxic PCBs.
But the US Department of Transportation Maritime Administration (Marad) is to petition for a further 36 to be towed to the UK.
Able UK originally signed a deal to dismantle 13 ships at a dry dock facility in Hartlepool.
But a catalogue of planning and legal hurdles has delayed the remaining nine vessels, currently moored in the James River in Virginia, leaving for the UK.
Now it has emerged that the US government wants to substitute the outstanding nine vessels with 36, which it claims have lower levels or no PCBs at all.
The case, due to be heard before a district judge in Washington DC on 1 October, is being contested by environmental pressure group Basal Action Network (Ban).
The group has accused the US government of "pulling a trick" to avert strict rules on exporting PCBs from the United States.
In its submission Marad says: "Marad believes that a number of these vessels do not contain PCBs... Marad believes for this reason that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has authority to issue a rule with respect to all of these vessels...
"Accordingly, Marad requests that a rule be issued permitting the export of all 36 vessels to Able UK for recycling and disposal."
Peter Stephenson, managing director of Able UK said: "We are currently losing out on this type of work to Belgium and Denmark.
'Healthy debate'
"We are hoping to submit a renewed planning application for the dry dock to Hartlepool Council at the end of September.
"But even when this is approved, we won't be ready to take any more vessels until next year.
"We are planning a £30m a year business here, which will generate at least 200 new jobs.
"We are as confident as we can be that the ships will get the go-ahead. We cannot see any reason why permission would not be granted."
A spokesman for Friends of the Earth (FoE) said: "It is still premature to say that these vessels will be coming to the UK.
"We will have to wait and see what happens in the court in Washington.
"What is certain is that there will be a healthy debate within the community in Hartlepool as to what image this may have on the town."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. The agent for Oklahoma wide receiver Malcolm Kelly is trying to reassure NFL teams that his client is completely healed from a thigh injury and has no lingering knee problems.
Agent Chad Speck sent a letter to all 32 NFL teams Monday, along with a letter from the doctor who has been treating Kelly, to let them know that the receiver projected as a possible first-round draft pick is healthy.
The injury first was diagnosed as a deep thigh bruise, but Kelly actually had a small quadriceps tear. The agent also pointed out that Dr. Michael Hatrak of Alpharetta, Ga., also found "all other structures assessed within normal limits." Kelly tore an ACL in junior high and had arthroscopic knee surgery during his sophomore year at Oklahoma.
"The intent of the letter is certainly to end speculation on Malcolm's health status," Speck said. "He is 100 percent healthy and as Dr. Hatrak states, has no further risk of injury."
Hatrak diagnosed Kelly with the "slight quadriceps tear" on Feb. 14, and cleared the receiver for full training March 20. Kelly did not work out at the combine in February or at Oklahoma's first Pro Day.
"The rumors that are currently circulating regarding his knees are irresponsible and untrue!" Speck wrote to NFL general managers and scouts.
Speck said Kelly, who declared for the draft after his junior season, will take part in every drill at Oklahoma's next pro day on April 9.
The Longview, Texas, native was Oklahoma's second-leading receiver last year with 49 receptions for 821 yards and nine touchdowns. He had 62 catches for 992 yards and 10 touchdowns as a sophomore, and his 21 career TD catches rank second all-time at Oklahoma behind Mark Clayton.

Power-system automation
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|It has been suggested that C37.94 be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since November 2014.
Power-system automation is the act of automatically controlling the power system via instrumentation and control devices. Substation automation refers to using data from Intelligent electronic devices (IED), control and automation capabilities within the substation, and control commands from remote users to control power-system devices.
Since full substation automation relies on substation integration, the terms are often used interchangeably. Power-system automation includes processes associated with generation and delivery of power. Monitoring and control of power delivery systems in the substation and on the pole reduce the occurrence of outages and shorten the duration of outages that do occur. The IEDs, communications protocols, and communications methods, work together as a system to perform power-system automation. The term "power system" describes the collection of devices that make up the physical systems that generate, transmit, and distribute power. The term "instrumentation and control (I&C) system" refers to the collection of devices that monitor, control, and protect the power system.

Automation tasks[edit]
Power-system automation is composed of several tasks.
- Data acquisition
- Data acquisition refers to acquiring, or collecting, data. This data is collected in the form of measured analog current or voltage values or the open or closed status of contact points. Acquired data can be used locally within the device collecting it, sent to another device in a substation, or sent from the substation to one or several databases for use by operators, engineers, planners, and administration.
- Supervision
- Computer processes and personnel supervise, or monitor, the conditions and status of the power system using this acquired data. Operators and engineers monitor the information remotely on computer displays and graphical wall displays or locally, at the device, on front-panel displays and laptop computers.
- Control
- Control refers to sending command messages to a device to operate the I&C and power-system devices. Traditional supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems rely on operators to supervise the system and initiate commands from an operator console on the master computer. Field personnel can also control devices using front-panel push buttons or a laptop computer.
In addition, another task is power-system integration, which is the act of communicating data to, from, or among IEDs in the I&C system and remote users. Substation integration refers to combining data from the IED's local to a substation so that there is a single point of contact in the substation for all of the I&C data.
Power-system automation processes rely on data acquisition; power-system supervision and power-system control all working together in a coordinated automatic fashion. The commands are generated automatically and then transmitted in the same fashion as operator initiated commands.
Hardware structure of the power-system automation[edit]
Data acquisition[edit]
The instrument transformers with protective relays are used to sense the power-system voltage and current. They are physically connected to power-system apparatus and convert the actual power-system signals. The transducers convert the analog output of an instrument transformer from one magnitude to another or from one value type to another, such as from an ac current to dc voltage. Also the input data is taken from the auxiliary contacts of switch gears and power-system control equipment.
Main processing instrumentation and control (I&C) device[edit]
The I&C devices built using microprocessors are commonly referred to as intelligent electronic devices (IEDs). Microprocessors are single chip computers that allow the devices into which they are built to process data, accept commands, and communicate information like a computer. Automatic processes can be run in the IEDs. Some IEDs used in power-system automation are:
- Remote Terminal Unit (RTU)
- A remote terminal unit is an IED that can be installed in a remote location, and acts as a termination point for field contacts. A dedicated pair of copper conductors is used to sense every contact and transducer value. These conductors originate at the power-system device, are installed in trenches or overhead cable trays, and are then terminated on panels within the RTU. The RTU can transfer collected data to other devices and receive data and control commands from other devices. User programmable RTUs are referred to as "smart RTUs."
- Meter
- A meter is an IED that is used to create accurate measurements of power-system current, voltage, and power values. Metering values such as demand and peak are saved within the meter to create historical information about the activity of the power system.
- Digital fault recorder
- A digital fault recorder (DFR) is an IED that records information about power-system disturbances. It is capable of storing data in a digital format when triggered by conditions detected on the power system. Harmonics, frequency, and voltage are examples of data captured by DFRs.
- Programmable logic controller (PLC)
- A Programmable Logic Controller can be programmed to perform logical control. As with the RTU, a dedicated pair of copper conductors for each contact and transducer value is terminated on panels within the PLC.It is like a work-horse which work upon the command given by their master.
- Protective relay
- A protective relay is an IED designed to sense power-system disturbances and automatically perform control actions on the I&C system and the power system to protect personnel and equipment. The relay has local termination so that the copper conductors for each contact do not have to be routed to a central termination panel associated with RTU
Controlling (output) devices[edit]
- Load tap changer (LTC)
- Load tap changers are devices used to change the tap position on transformers. These devices work automatically or can be controlled via another local IED or from a remote operator or process.
- Recloser controller
- Recloser controllers remotely control the operation of automated reclosers and switches. These devices monitor and store power-system conditions and determine when to perform control actions. They also accept commands from a remote operator or process.
Communications devices[edit]
- Communications processor
- A communications processor is a substation controller that incorporates the functions of many other I&C devices into one IED. It has many communications ports to support multiple simultaneous communications links. The communications processor performs data acquisition and control of the other substation IEDs and also concentrates the data it acquires for transmission to one or many masters inside and outside the substation.
Overcurrent protection[edit]
All lines and all electrical equipment must be protected against prolonged overcurrent. If the cause of the overcurrent is nearby then automatically that current is interrupted immediately. But if the cause of the overcurrent is outside the local area then a backup provision automatically disconnects all affected circuits after a suitable time delay.
Note that disconnection can, unfortunately, have a cascade effect, leading to overcurrent in other circuits that then also must therefore disconnect automatically.
Also note that generators that suddenly have lost their load because of such a protection operation will have to shut down automatically immediately, and it may take many hours to restore a proper balance between demand and supply in the system, partly because there must be proper synchronization before any two parts of the system can be reconnected.
Reclosing operations of circuit breakers usually are attempted automatically, and often are successful during thunderstorms, for example.
Supervisory control and data acquisition[edit]
A supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA) transmits and receives logic or data from events of controls, metering, measuring, safety and monitoring of process devices such as Electrical equipment, Instrumentation devices, telecommunication on industrial applications. Power system elements ranging from pole-mounted switches to entire power plants can be controlled remotely over long distance communication links. Remote switching, telemetering of grids (showing voltage, current, power, direction, consumption in kWh, etc.), even automatic synchronization is used in some power systems.

Evan Githens, 28
Santa Barbara Man Arrested After Pursuit and Crash
Santa Barbara - October 7th, 2013
A Santa Barbara man is in custody after a high speed chase which ended in a
crash and subsequent foot pursuit this afternoon, October 7, in downtown Santa
Barbara. 28-year-old Evan Githens, who was driving a stolen white Chevrolet
work truck from Ventura, was chased down and arrested by Santa Barbara County
Sheriff's Deputies. He is charged with child endangerment, felony evasion,
being in possession of a stolen vehicle, multiple vehicle code violations and a
probation violation. He is being held at the Santa Barbara County Jail on
$100,000 bail.
The incident began at
approximately 3:50 p.m. this afternoon, when Sheriff' Deputies observed the
stolen vehicle being driven on Highway 101 approaching the southbound Carrillo
Street exit. Sheriff's Deputies attempted to pull the vehicle over but the
suspect refused to yield and sped off down Carrillo Street, turned onto Castillo
Street at a high rate of speed and ran through several stop signs. Santa Barbara
County Air Support Unit Copter 2 assisted Sheriff's Deputies with the pursuit.
The suspect got back onto the freeway at Haley and Castillo Streets and then
exited again at Arrellaga Street before crashing into two vehicles at the
intersection of Arrellaga and De La Vina Streets. After the crash, the suspect
jumped out of the stolen car and ran southbound on De La Vina Street. Sheriff's
Deputies chased the suspect over several fences and through backyards before he
was apprehended at gunpoint.
An adult passenger and two small boys,
ages six and four, were found in the stolen vehicle. Sheriff's Deputies
detained the female passenger who was later released after being questioned.
She and the four year old boy were not injured but the six year old boy was
transported to a local hospital where he was treated and released. The single
occupants of the other two vehicles involved, a green Jeep Wrangler and dark
grey Honda CRV received injuries and were transported to the hospital. The
Santa Barbara City Fire Department assisted with providing medical attention and
the Santa Barbara Police Department assisted with traffic control.
