Urge Your Senators to Classify Municipal Securities as High Quality Liquid Assets!
Ask Your Senators to Introduce a Senate Companion to HR 2209
In addition to the House legislation, the GFOA is working with a group of Senators to introduce a Senate companion bill to HR 2209. As part of this effort we are asking our members to reach out to their Senators and urge them to join in being original cosponsors of this emerging bill. A draft letter has been developed for your use to support this campaign which is available here.
In September of 2014 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) approved a rule establishing minimum liquidity requirements for large banking organizations. The liquidity coverage ratio rule was designed to ensure that large banks maintain liquid assets that can easily be converted to cash during times of national economic crisis. The rule identifies High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) to meet this requirement, but fails to include municipal securities in any of the acceptable investment categories (despite including foreign sovereign debt!).
Following approval of the new rule, the GFOA and our state and local association partners have urged the Federal Reserve, FDIC and OCC to amend the rule to classify investment-grade, liquid and readily marketable municipal securities as HQLA. On May 21, 2015 the Federal Reserve Board issued a proposed rule that would designate certain investment grade municipal securities as HQLA. While the GFOA is extremely grateful for the Federal Reserve's recognition of the liquidity features of municipal securities, we have some concerns with the proposal, which we raised in our comment letter. Such concerns include the proposal's failure to include revenue bonds as HQLA, and its limit on the total amount of general obligation (GO) securities that a financial institution can hold to no more than 5 percent of the institution's total amount of HQLA.
Meanwhile the FDIC and OCC refuse to modify the rule for municipal securities. In the absence cooperation from the agencies, the GFOA is working with bipartisan champions in Congress to change the rule through legislation (HR 2209) and preserve low-cost infrastructure financing for state and local governments and public sector entities.

IAB-Forschungsbericht 14/2013
Seit vielen Jahren wird die Integration von Frauen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, insbesondere die Gleichstellung von Frauen und Männern oder die Beteiligung von Frauen an der Betriebsführung rege diskutiert. Bereits 2008 wurden diese Themen mit den Daten des IAB-Betriebspanels aus betrieblicher Sicht beleuchtet. Der dies jährige Forschungsbericht versteht sich als eine aktualisierte Bestandsaufnahme. Die AutorInnen prüfen, ob und inwieweit sich in den vergangenen vier Jahren Veränderungen gezeigt haben: In welchen Betrieben arbeiten überdurchschnittlich häufig Frauen und in welchen Betrieben Männer? In welchen Punkten unterscheiden sich weibliche von männlichen Beschäftigungsverhältnissen? Inwiefern unterscheiden sich ausschließlich männergeführte Betriebe von ausschließlich frauengeführten Betrieben oder von Betrieben, die sowohl von Frauen als auch von Männern geführt werden? Gibt es Unterschiede in den betrieblichen Rahmenbedingungen zur Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Familie, in der Förderung der Chancengleichheit von Frauen und Männern oder im Aus- und Weiterbildungsverhalten der Betriebe?
Abstract (Translated):
For many years there have been lively debates about the integration of women in the labour market, especially in terms of equality between women and men or the integration of women in management positions. In 2008 the data from the IAB Establishment Panel (Fischer et al. 2009) shed light on the employment patterns of men and women from an establishment´s perspective. This year´s report therefore is an updated review that sets out to examine whether and to what extent there have been further changes in the last four years. The following questions are answered in detail: Which establishments employ higher than average numbers of women and which establishments men? And how have things developed over recent years? In how far does female and male employment differ? To what extent do establishments managed exclusively by men differ from those managed exclusively by women or establishments run by both women and men? Are there any differences between groups of establishments regarding the key conditions enabling family and working life to be reconciled and the promotion of equal opportunities for women and men? Are there differences in the way training and further education are handled in establishments run by men, women or a mixture of both? Women have benefited more than the average of all employees from the expansion of employment that began in 2005. Employment has expanded above all in service sector establishments which are dominated by women. Yet the difference in the volume of work put in by women or men - the so-called working hours gap - has declined only slightly. Taken against the background of the increased rate at which women participate in the labour force, this means that the increase in employment has largely been due to an increase in part-time jobs. The results of the IAB Establishment Panel show that in 2012 more than three quarters of part-time employees were women. Women are also increasingly active in jobs requiring a vocational qualification or university degree, yet they continue to a higher than average extent to pursue activities that do not require any training. In recent years there has been slight progress in terms of employing women in managerial functions. Compared to their proportion of the workforce they are still largely under-represented - particularly in top management level. This is the case in all sectors and in establishments of all sizes. In 2012 the management of establishments again continued to be a male domain. Nonetheless, over the last few years slight improvements have been apparent in the involvement of women in management functions. Large establishments in particular, but also medium-sized establishments, have made progress in including women in top level management, even though they are starting from a very low level. The inclusion of women in managerial responsibility has increased slightly overall. Only in large establishments equality-related activities form a part of everyday business life, but the great majority of medium-sized establishments are also active in the areas referred to. Public sector establishments offer measures from this spectrum of measures markedly more frequently than establishments in the private sector, and this is the case for establishments of all sizes studied.

ACL reconstruction
Dr. Sotta will be performing my ACL reconstruction and addressing my torn meniscus two days from now. I'll update my review after surgery, but for now I am exceedingly happy with Dr. Sotta based on the two appointments I've had with him so far. I interviewed 3 surgeons before deciding on Dr. Sotta and he is clearly the best choice for me.

Two Thumbs Down
When a doctor tells you they know what's wrong and treat you and it doesn't work, I feel they should at least try something else. This doctor didn't even want to give it a shot. Basically threw up his hands and actually said he didn't know what to do. I'm taking my business somewhere else! Thanks for nothing.

I highly recommend Dr Sotta. My daughter had ACL reconstruction and had an excellent result. He is great at explaining things in terms you can understand, and personally oversees the rehab process. His staff is also excellent.

Satisfied Patient
I have seen Dr. Sotta many times for various sport related injuries (shoulder, ankle, foot) and he is dead on every time. He performed surgery on my foot to remove a bone spur on my first metatarsal and I had no pain whatsoever and was back on my feet the next day. He fixed my dad's torn meniscus and his recovery time was about remarkably fast. A+ Dr. Sotta!

I was very pleased with the care I received from Dr. Sotta subsequent to a shoulder injury. I greatly appreciated his communication skills regarding the diagnosis and treatment options which include self-care, home exercise etc to expedite resolution. I recently recommended a friend see Dr. Sotta for her orthopedic issues.

I recently had a shoulder repair done by Dr. Sotta. I had a torn labrum on the front and the top of my socket. He had excellent bed side manner and answered all my questions in terms I could understand. The procedure went as expected -- both his office and the anesthesiologist (Dr. Sanchez) called me at home over the next couple of days to make sure my pain levels were being managed and that I was comfortable. I couldn't be more pleased with this doctor and his staff. I also never had to wait more than a few minutes for my appointments and scheduling with him was very easy.

Dr. Sotta has been my doctor for a few years now and knows me as a person rather than a patient. He takes the time to get to know you and doesn't just get to know the problem. He takes into account what your priorities are and assesses your true needs. He is very compassionate and puts you at ease. I have recommended him to many people I know.

Dr. Sotta was outstanding and I have referred others to him. He took the time with my MRI - consulted other doctors - and called me with my options. Get the first appointment of the day - he will spend as much time as he needs with each patient. :) He is well connected with PT's in the area as well. The staff in his practice are great - the reception staff at his surgery center are great!

One of our vendors has started sending invoices in MHT format. When we receive them (Outlook 2007) they get changed to MSG files and become unreadable. We can create and open MHT files just fine from the local and network file system. During my testing, if I went to my Sent Items, the MHT attachment is intact and opens correctly. If I open it from my inbox, it looks like binary data. If I save it from my inbox, it saves as a filename.mht.msg. If I remove the last MSG extension the file will open but not render - it looks like HTML code. Any thoughts?

Key To Study
Key to Unlock The Philosophy of Freedom
Getting back to the study of The Philosophy of Freedom, we have a book that has baffled many great thinkers. If the 12 outlooks [0] are the keys to unlocking truth, perhaps they can be used to unlock the mysteries within The Philosophy of Freedom?
In the World-Outlook Diagram we are given a cosmic organization structure which identifies and integrates all world-outlooks possible for the mind of the human being. Could we not suspect a possible connection with Steiner's philosophy book?
"In 1894 I made the attempt with my Philosophy of Freedom to provide just such a philosophic basis on which to approach spiritual science. It presents the wide range of human standpoints, often masquerading under such strange philosophical names, in a way that leaves the reader free of attachment to any particular approach and able to let the various concepts speak for themselves, as though each were a photograph of one and the same object taken from many different angles."
Rudolf Steiner on his book The Philosophy of Freedom P. 97
"Steiner deals in turn with each possible point of view, illustrating each one with an example from the literature, and then showing the fallacies or shortcomings that have to be overcome."
Michael Wilson in the Introduction to POF.
By bringing the World-Outlook Diagram to The Philosophy of Freedom it does not take long to see an alignment. Not surprisingly, this symbolic diagram is found as a representative of it's underlying cosmic thought structure. To enter into the sequence of thoughts in The Philosophy of Freedom is to follow the logic of the Spiritual Hierarchies of the cosmos.
Within this book (POF) thinking is experienced in a way that makes it impossible for a person involved in it to have any other impression, when he is living in thought, he is living in the cosmos. This relatedness to cosmic mysteries is the red thread running through the book.
Rudolf Steiner on his book The Philosophy of Freedom p23
Catharsis is an ancient term for the purification of the astral body by means of meditation and concentration exercises.... A person has gone a long way toward achieving it if they have taken in and experienced the content of my Philosophy of Freedom with such inner participation that they have the feeling, "Yes, the book was a stimulus, but now I can reproduce the thoughts it contained by my own effort."
Rudolf Steiner on his book The Philosophy of Freedom p83
We can contemplate something from 12 different outlooks. If a section of The Philosophy of Freedom is written out of the mode of thinking of a particular outlook, it would make sense to contemplate that section while within the same outlook. By entering the mode of thinking of the section we view the chapter theme from the same perspective from which it was written which means it should make sense to us. If we approach all parts of the book holding the same one-sided view the book will likely not make any sense. We may even come into conflict with it or try to twist the meaning to fit our views. If we apply the inappropriate world-outlooks we will end up baffled. Applying the appropriate world-outlook is the key that will open the text allowing us in to begin the experience of rising to the heights of cosmic thought.
REALISMThere can also be persons who say: "Yes, but as to whether in truth the world contains only matter, or only spirit, I have no special knowledge; the powers of human cognition cannot cope with that. One thing is clear—there is a world spread out around us. Whether it is based upon what chemists and physicists, if they are materialists, call atoms, I know not. But I recognize the external world; that is something I see and can think about. I have no particular reason for supposing that it is or is not spiritual at root. I restrict myself to what I see around me." From the explanations already given we can call such Realists, and their concept of the universe: Realism. Just as one can enlist endless ingenuity on behalf of Materialism or of Spiritism [0], and just as one can be clever about Spiritism [0] and yet say the most foolish things on material matters, and vice versa, so one can advance the most ingenious reasons for Realism, which differs from both Spiritism [0] and Materialism in the way I have just described.
IDEALISMAgain, there may be other persons who speak as follows. Around us are matter and the world of material phenomena. But this world of material phenomena is in itself devoid of meaning. It has no real meaning unless there is within it a progressive tendency; unless from this external world something can emerge towards which the human soul can direct itself, independently of the world. According to this outlook, there must be a realm of ideas and ideals within the world-process. Such people are not Realists, although they pay external life its due; their view is that life has meaning only if ideas work through it and give it purpose. It was under the influence of such a mood as this that Fichte once said: Our world is the sensualised material of our duty.* The adherents of such a world-outlook as this, which takes everything as a vehicle for the ideas that permeate the world-process, may be called Idealists and their outlook: Idealism. Beautiful and grand and glorious things have been brought forward on behalf of this Idealism. And in this realm that I have just described—where the point is to show that the world would be purposeless and meaningless if ideas were only human inventions and were not rooted in the world-process—in this realm Idealism is fully justified. But by means of it one cannot, for example, explain external reality. Hence one can distinguish this Idealism from other world-outlooks:
MATHEMATISM [0]We now have side by side four justifiable world-outlooks, each with significance for its particular domain. Between Materialism and Idealism there is a certain transition. The crudest kind of materialism—one can observe it specially well in our day, although it is already on the wane—will consist in this, that people carry to an extreme the saying of Kant—Kant did not do this himself!--that in the individual sciences there is only so much real science as there is mathematics. This means that from being a materialist one can become a ready-reckoner of the universe, taking nothing as valid except a world composed of material atoms. They collide and gyrate, and then one calculates how they inter-gyrate. By this means one obtains very fine results, which show that this way of looking at things is fully justified. Thus you can get the vibration-rates for blue, red, etc.; you take the whole world as a kind of mechanical apparatus, and can reckon it up accurately. But one can become rather confused in this field. One can say to oneself: "Yes, but however complicated the machine may be, one can never get out of it anything like the perception of blue, red, etc. Thus if the brain is only a complicated machine, it can never give rise to what we know as soul-experiences." But then one can say, as Du Bois-Raymond once said: If we want to explain the world in strictly mathematical terms, we shall not be able to explain the simplest perception, but if we go outside a mathematical explanation, we shall be unscientific. The most uncompromising materialist would say, "No, I do not even calculate, for that would presuppose a superstition—it would imply that I assume that things are ordered by measure and number." And anyone who raises himself above this crude materialism will become a mathematical thinker, and will recognize as valid only whatever can be treated mathematically. From this results a conception of the universe that really admits nothing beyond mathematical formulae. This may be called Mathematism [0].
RATIONALISM [0]Someone, however, might think this over, and after becoming a Mathematist [0] he might say to himself: "It cannot be a superstition that the color blue has so and so many vibrations. The world is ordered mathematically. If mathematical ideas are found to be real in the world, why should not other ideas have equal reality?" Such a person accepts this—that ideas are active in the world. But he grants validity only to those ideas that he discovers outside himself—not to any ideas that he might grasp from his inner self by some sort of intuition or inspiration, but only to those he reads from external things that are real to the senses. Such a person becomes a Rationalist [0], and his outlook on the world is that of Rationalism [0]. If, in addition to the ideas that are found in this way, someone grants validity also to those gained from the moral and the intellectual realms, then he is already an Idealist. Thus a path leads from crude Materialism, by way of Mathematism [0] and Rationalism [0], to Idealism.
PSYCHISM [0]But now Idealism can be enhanced. In our age there are some men who are trying to do this. They find ideas at work in the world, and this implies that there must also be in the world some sort of beings in whom the ideas can live. Ideas cannot live just as they are in any external object, nor can they hang as it were in the air. In the nineteenth century the belief existed that ideas rule history. But this was a confusion, for ideas as such have no power to work. Hence one cannot speak of ideas in history. Anyone who understands that ideas, if they are there are all, are bound up with some being capable of having ideas, will no longer be a mere Idealist; he will move on to the supposition that ideas are connected with beings. He becomes a Psychist [0] and his world-outlook is that Psychism [0]. The Psychist [0], who in his turn can uphold his outlook with an immense amount of ingenuity, reaches it only through a kind of one-sidedness, of which he can eventually become aware.
Here I must add that there are adherents of all the world-outlooks above the horizontal stroke; for the most part they are stubborn fold who, owing to some fundamental element in themselves, take this or that world-outlook and abide by it, going no further. All the beliefs listed below the line have adherents who are more easily accessible to the knowledge that individual world-outlooks each have one special standpoint only, and they more easily reach the point where they pass from one world-outlook to another.
PNEUMATISM [0]When someone is a Psychist [0], and able as a thinking person to contemplate the world clearly, then he comes to the point of saying to himself that he must presuppose something actively psychic in the outside world. But directly he not only thinks, but feels sympathy for what is active and willing in man, then he says to himself: "It is not enough that there are beings who have ideas; these beings must also be active, they must be able also to do things." But this is inconceivable unless these beings are individual beings. That is, a person of this type rises from accepting the ensoulment of the world to accepting the Spirit or the Spirits of the world. He is not yet clear whether he should accept one or a number of Spirits, but he advances from Psychism [0] to Pneumatism [0] to a doctrine of the Spirit.
If he has become in truth a Pneumatist [0], then he may well grasp what I have said in this lecture about number—that with regard to figures it is somewhat doubtful to speak of a "unity". Then he comes to the point of saying to himself: It must therefore be a confusion to talk of one undivided Spirit, of one undivided Pneuma. And he gradually becomes able to form for himself an idea of the Spirits of the different Hierarchies. Then he becomes in the true sense a Spiritist [0], so that on this side there is a direct transition from Pneumatism [0] to Spiritism [0].
MONADISM [0]Now there is still another possibility: someone may not take the path we have tried to follow to the activities of the spiritual Hierarchies, but may still come to an acceptance of certain spiritual beings. The celebrated German philosopher, Leibnitz, was a man of this kind. Leibnitz had got beyond the prejudice that anything merely material can exist in the world. He found the actual, he sought the actual. (I have treated this more precisely in my book, The Riddles of Philosophy.) His view was that a being—as, for example, the human soul—can build up existence in itself. But he formed no further ideas on the subject. He only said to himself that there is such a being that can build up existence in itself, and force concepts outwards from within itself. For Leibnitz, this being is a "Monad". And he said to himself: "There must be many Monads, and Monads of
the most varied capabilities. If I had here a bell, there would be many monads in it—as in a swarm of midges—but they would be monads that had never come even so far as to have sleep-consciousness, monads that are almost unconscious, but which nevertheless develop the dimmest of concepts within themselves. There are monads that dream; there are monads that develop waking ideas within themselves; in short, there are monads of the most varied grades."
A person with this outlook does not come so far as to picture to himself the individual spiritual beings in concrete terms, as the Spiritist [0] does, but he reflects in the world upon the spiritual element in the world, allowing it to remain indefinite. He calls it "Monad"—that is, he conceives of it only as though one were to say: "Yes, there is spirit in the world and there are spirits, but I describe them only by saying, 'They are entities having varying powers of perception.' I pick out from them an abstract characteristic. So I form for myself this one-sided world-outlook, on behalf of which as much as can be said has been said by the highly intelligent Leibnitz. In this way I develop Monadism [0]." Monadism [0] is an abstract Spiritism [0].
DYNAMISM [0]But there can be persons who do not rise to the level of the Monads; they cannot concede that existence is made up of being with the most varied conceptual powers, but at the same time they are not content to allow reality only to external phenomena; they hold that "forces" are dominant everywhere. If, for example, a stone falls to the ground, they say, "That is gravitation!" When a magnet attracts bits of iron, they say: "That is magnetic force!" They are not content with saying simply, "There is the magnet," but they say, "The magnet presupposes that supersensibly, invisibly, a magnetic force is present, extending in all directions." A world-outlook of this kind—which looks everywhere for forces behind phenomena—can be called Dynamism [0].
Then one may say: "No, to believe in 'forces' is superstition"—an example of this is Frits Mauthner's Critique of Language, where you find a detailed argument to this effect. It amounts to taking your stand on the reality of the things around us. Thus by the path of Spiritism [0] we come through Monadism [0] and Dynamism [0] to Realism again.
PHENOMENALISM [0]But now one can do something else still. One can say: "Certainly I believe in the world that is spread out around me, but I do not maintain any right to claim that this world is the real one. I can say of it only that it 'appears' to me. I have no right to say more about it." There you have again a difference. One can say of the world that is spread out around us. "This is the real world," but one can also say, "I am clear that there is a world which appears to me; I cannot speak of anything more. I am not saying that this world of colors and sounds, which arises only because certain processes in my eyes present themselves to me as colors, while processes in my ears present themselves to me as sounds—I am not saying that this world is the true world. It is a world of phenomena." This is the outlook called Phenomenalism [0].
SENSATIONALISM [0]We can go further, and can say: "The world of phenomena we certainly have around us, but all that we believe we have in these phenomena is what we have ourselves added to them, what we have thought into them. Our own sense-impressions are all we can rightly accept. Anyone who says this—mark it well!—is not an adherent of Phenomenalism [0]. He peels off from the phenomena everything which he thinks comes only from the understanding and the reason, and he allows validity only to sense-impressions, regarding them as some kind of message from reality. This outlook may be called Sensationalism [0].
A critic of this outlook can then say: "You may reflect as much as you like on what the senses tell us and bring forward ever so ingenious reasons for your view—and ingenious reasons can be given—I take my stand on the point that nothing real exists except that which manifests itself through sense-impressions; this I accept as something material." This is rather like an atomist saying: "I hold that only atoms exist, and that however small they are, they have the attributes which we recognize in the physical world"--anyone who says this is a materialist. Thus, by another path, we arrive back at Materialism.
A man can be so attuned in his soul—for the present it is immaterial by which of these twelve "mental-zodiacal signs" his soul is illuminated—that the soul-mood expressed in the whole configuration of his world-outlook can be designated as Gnosis [0]. A man is a Gnostic when his disposition is such that he gets to know the things of the world not through the senses, but through certain cognitional forces in the soul itself. A man can be a Gnostic and at the same time have a certain inclination to be illuminated by e.g. the mental-zodiacal-sign that we have here called "Spiritism [0]". Then his Gnosticism will have a deeply illuminated insight into the relationships of the spiritual worlds. But a man can also be, e.g. a Gnostic of Idealism; then he will have a special proclivity for seeing clearly the ideals of mankind and the ideas of the world. Thus there can be a difference between two men who are both Idealists. One man will be an idealistic enthusiast who always has the word "ideal", "ideal", "ideal", on his lips, but does not know much about idealism; he lacks the faculty for conjuring up ideals in sharp outline before his inner sight. The other man not only speaks of Idealism, but knows how to picture the ideals clearly in his soul. The latter, who inwardly grasps Idealism quite concretely—as intensely as a man grasps external things with his hand—is a Gnostic in the domain of Idealism. Thus one could say that he is basically a Gnostic, but is specially illuminated by the mental-zodiacal-sign of Idealism.
There are also persons who are specially illuminated by the world-outlook sign of Realism. They go through the world in such a way that their whole mode of perceiving and encountering the world enables them to say much, very much, to others about the world. They are neither Spiritists nor Idealists; they are quite ordinary Realists. They are equipped to have really fine perceptions of the external reality around them, and of the intrinsic qualities of things. They are Gnostics, genuine Gnostics, only they are Gnostics of Realism. There are such Gnostics of Realism, and Spiritists or Idealists are often not Gnostics of Realism at all. We can indeed find that people who call themselves good Theosophists may go through a picture-gallery and understand nothing about it, whereas others who are not Theosophists at all, but are Gnostics of Realism, are able to make an abundance of significant comments on it, because with their whole personality they are in touch with the reality of the things they see. Or again, many Theosophists go out into the country and are unable to grasp with their whole souls anything of the greatness and sublimity of nature; they are not Gnostics of Realism.
There are also Gnostics of Materialism. Certainly they are strange Gnostics. But quite in the sense in which there are Gnostics of Realism, there can be Gnostics of Materialism. They are persons who have feeling and perception only for all that is material; persons who try to get to know what the material is by coming into direct contact with it, like the dog who sniffs at substances and tries to get to know them intimately in that way, and who really is, in regard to material things, an excellent Gnostic. One can be a Gnostic in connection with all twelve world-outlook signs. Hence, if we want to put Gnosis [0] in its right place, we must draw a circle, and the whole circle signifies that the Gnosis [0] can move round through all twelve world-outlook signs. Just as a planet goes through all twelve signs of the Zodiac, so can the Gnosis [0] pass through the twelve world-outlook signs. Certainly, the Gnosis [0] will render the greatest service for the healing of souls when the Gnostic frame of mind is applied to Spiritism [0]. One might say that Gnosis [0] is thoroughly at home in Spiritism [0]. That is its true home. In the other world-outlook-signs it is outside its home. Logically speaking, one is not justified in saying that there could not be a materialistic Gnosis [0]. The pedants of concepts and ideas can settle such knotty points more easily than the sound logicians, who have a somewhat more complicated task. One might say, for example: "I will call nothing 'Gnosis [0]' except what penetrates into the 'spirit'." That is an arbitrary attitude with regard to concepts; as arbitrary as if one were to say, "So far I have seen violets only in Austria; therefore I call violets only flowers that grow in Austria and have a violet color—nothing else." Logically it is just as impossible to say that there is Gnosis [0] only in the world-outlook-sign of Spiritism [0]; for Gnosis [0] is a "planet" which passes through all the mental-constellations.
LOGICISM [0]There is another world-outlook-mood. Here I speak of "mood", whereas otherwise I speak of "signs" or "pictures". Of late it has been thought that one could more easily become acquainted — and yet here even the easy is difficult — with this second mood, because its representative, in the constellation of Idealism, is Hegel. But this special mood in which Hegel looks at the world need not be in the constellation of Idealism, for it, too, can pass through all the constellations. It is the world-outlook of Logicism [0]. The special mark of Logicism [0] consists in its enabling the soul to connect thoughts, concepts and ideas with one another. As when in looking at an organism one comes from the eyes to the nose and the mouth and regards them as all belonging to each other, so Hegel arranges all the concepts that he can lay hold of into a great concept-organism — a logical concept-organism. Hegel was simply able to seek out everything in the world that can be found as thought, to link together thought with thought, and to make an organism of it — Logicism [0]! One can develop Logicism [0] in the constellation of Idealism, as Hegel did; one can develop it, as Fichte did, in the constellation of Psychism [0]; and one can develop it in other constellations. Logicism [0] is again something that passes like a planet through the twelve zodiacal signs.
VOLUNTARISM [0]There is a third mood of the soul, expressed in world-outlooks; we can study this in Schopenhauer, for example. Whereas the soul of Hegel when he looked out upon the world was so attuned that with him everything conceptual takes the form of Logicism [0], Schopenhauer lays hold of everything in the soul that pertains to the character of will. The forces of nature, the hardness of a stone, have this character for him; the whole of reality is a manifestation of will. This arises from the particular disposition of his soul. This outlook can once more be regarded as a planet which passes through all twelve zodiacal signs. I will call this world-outlook, Voluntarism [0].
Schopenhauer was a voluntarist [0], and in his soul he was so constituted that he laid himself open to the influence of the mental constellation of Psychism [0]. Thus arose the peculiar Schopenhauerian metaphysics of the will: Voluntarism [0] in the mental constellation of Psychism [0].
Let us suppose that someone is a Voluntarist [0], with a special inclination towards the constellation of Monadism [0]. Then he would not, like Schopenhauer, take as basis of the universe a unified soul which is really "will"; he would take many "monads", which are, however, will-entities. This world of monadic voluntarism [0] as been developed most beautifully, ingeniously, and I might say, in the most inward manner, by the Austrian philosophic poet, Hamerling. Whence came the peculiar teaching that you find in Hamerling's Atomistics of the Will? It arose because his soul was attuned to Voluntarism [0], while he came under the mental constellation of Monadism [0]. If we had the time, we could mention examples for each soul-mood in each constellation. They are to be found in the world.
EMPIRICISMAnother special mood is not at all prone to ponder whether behind the phenomena there is still this or that, as is done by the Gnostic mood, or the idealistic or voluntary moods, but which simply says: "I will incorporate into my world-conception whatever I meet with in the world, whatever shows itself to me externally." One can do this in all domains — i.e. through all mental constellations. One can do it as a materialism who accepts only what he encounters externally; one can also do it as Spiritist [0]. A man who has this mood will not trouble himself to seek for a special connection behind the phenomena; he lets things approach and waits for whatever comes from them. This mood we can call Empiricism. Empiricism signifies a soul-mood which simply accepts whatever experience may offer. Through all twelve constellations one can be an empiricist, a man with a world-conception based on experience. Empiricism is the fourth psychic mood which can go through all twelve constellations.
MYSTICISMOne can equally well develop a mood which is not satisfied with immediate experience, as in Empiricism, so that one feels through and through, as an inner necessity, a mood which says: Man is placed in the world; in his soul he experiences something about the world that he cannot experience externally; only there, in that inner realm, does the world unveil its secrets. One may look all round about and yet see nothing of the mysteries which the world includes. Someone imbued with a mood of this kind can often say: "Of what help to me is the Gnosis [0] that takes pains to struggle up to a kind of vision? The things of the external world that one can look upon — they cannot show me the truth. How does Logicism [0] help me to a world-picture? ... In Logicism [0] the nature of the world does not express itself. What help is there in speculations about the will? It merely leads us away from looking into the depths of our own soul, and into those depths one does not look when the soul wills, but, on the contrary, just when by surrendering itself it is without will." Voluntarism [0], therefore, is not the mood that I mean here, neither is Empiricism — the mere looking upon and listening to experience and events. But when the soul has become quiet and seeks inwardly for the divine Light, this soul-mood can be called Mysticism.
TRANSCENDENTALISM [0]Now the soul may be so attuned that it cannot become aware of what may arise from within itself and appear as the real inner solution of the riddle of the universe. Such a soul may, rather, be so attuned that it will say to itself: "Yes, in the world there is something behind all things, also behind my own personality and being, so far as I perceive this being. But I cannot be a mystic. The mystic believes that this something behind flows into his soul. I do not feel it flow into my soul; I only feel it must be there, outside." In this mood, a person presupposes that outside his soul, and beyond anything his soul can experience, the essential being of things lies hidden; but he does not suppose that this essential nature of things can flow into his soul, as does the Mystic. A person who takes this standpoint is a Transcendentalist [0] — perhaps that is the best word for it. He accepts that the essence of a thing is transcendent, but that it does not enter into the soul — hence Transcendentalism [0]. The Transcendentalist [0] has the feeling: "When I perceive things, their nature approaches me; but I do not perceive it. It hides behind, but it approaches me."
OCCULTISM [0]Now it is possible for a man, given all his perceptions and powers of cognition, to thrust away the nature of things still further than the Transcendentalist [0] does. He can say; "The essential nature of things is beyond the range of ordinary human knowledge." The Transcendentalist [0] says; "If with your eyes you see red and blue, then the essential being of the thing is not in the red or blue, but lies hidden behind it. You must use your eyes; then you can get to the essential being of the thing. It lies behind." But the mood I now have in mind will not accept Transcendentalism [0]. On the contrary, it says: "One may experience red or blue, or this or that sound, ever so intensely; nothing of this expresses the hidden being of the thing. My perception never makes contact with this hidden being." Anyone who speaks in this way speaks very much as we do when we take the standpoint that in external sense-appearance, in Maya, the essential nature of things does not find expression. We should be Transcendentalists if we said: "The world is spread out all around us, and this world everywhere proclaims its essential being." This we do not say. We say: "This world is Maya, and one must seek the inner being of things by another way than through external sense-perception and the ordinary means of cognition." Occultism [0]! The psychic mood of Occultism [0]!

VRF on CE question
I plan to run multiple VRFs on the layer 3 switch (3750) at our spokes.
However, I don't want to expand my MPLS cloud from the hub all the way to the spoke routers (2811) because spoke-hub WAN links are satallite links and these links are not very stable. I don't want to bring this instablity to my MPLS core.
So the question is, how do I transport multiple VRFs to the MPLS cloud at the core without expand the MPLS cloud all the way down to the spoke?

Lambda Tauri (λ Tau, λ Tauri) is a triple star system in the constellation Taurus. In the Calendarium of Al Achsasi Al Mouakket, this star was designated Sadr al Tauri, which was translated into Latin as Pectus Tauri, meaning "the bull chest".[11] In 1848, the light from this system was found to vary periodically and it was determined to be an eclipsing binary system—the third such discovered.[5] The components of this system have a combined apparent visual magnitude of +3.47,[2] making it one of the brighter members of the constellation. Based upon parallax measurements from the Hipparcos mission, the distance to this system is approximately 480 light-years (150 parsecs).[1]
The inner pair of this triple star system, Lambda Tauri AB, orbit around each other with a period of 3.95 days and a low eccentricity of about 0.025.[5] Their orbital plane is inclined by around 76° to the line of sight from the Earth,[7] so it is being viewed from nearly edge on and the two stars form an Algol-like eclipsing binary system. The combined brightness of the pair varies from magnitude +3.37 to +3.91 as first one star and then the other pass in front of its companion. The primary member, λ Tau A, undergoes a decrease of 0.435 ± 0.050 in magnitude during an eclipse, while the secondary component, λ Tau B, decreases by 0.09–0.10 in magnitude.[12] The mean physical separation between these two stars is estimated at 21.91 times the radius of the Sun, or 0.1 Astronomical Units.[6]
The primary component has a stellar classification of B3 V, making this a massive B-type main sequence star. It has over seven times the mass of the Sun[12] and 6.4 times the Sun's radius.[6] This star is the brightest member of the system, radiating about 5,801[3] times the luminosity of the Sun from its outer envelope at an effective temperature of 18,700 K, which gives it a blue-white hue common to the B-type stars.[13] Lambda Tauri A is rotating rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 85 km s−1.[6] It, along with δ Librae, were the first stars on which rotational line broadening was observed, by Frank Schlesinger in 1909.[14]
The spectrum of Lambda Tauri A shows an under abundance of carbon relative to the norm for this category of star. A possible explanation for this is a loss of mass by the star some time in the past. An inner region of the star became depleted by the conversion of carbon into nitrogen during the nuclear fusion process, and this region was later exposed when the outer envelope of the star was lost. Alternatively, the star may have undergone a period of convective mixing, bringing the carbon-depleted material to the surface. However, the cause of such a fully convective behavior in a main sequence star of this mass is unclear.[8]
The secondary companion has a stellar classification of A4 IV,[3] suggesting that it is a subgiant star that has nearly exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core and is in the process of evolving into a giant star. It has nearly 1.9 times the mass of the Sun, 5.3 times the Sun's radius,[6] and is radiating 128 times the Sun's luminosity at an effective temperature of 8,405 K.[3] As with the primary, this star is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 76 km s−1.[6] The side of the secondary facing the more massive star is being heated by an additional 1,440 K, which produces a rotational effect that causes the strength of the secondary's spectral lines to vary over the course of its orbit.[5]
A conundrum with this system is the large radius of the secondary star. In stellar evolutionary terms, the more massive primary should be the first to reach the subgiant stage. Hence the enlarged radius of the secondary must be caused by a means other than the star's age. This suggests that the pair Lambda Tauri AB form a semidetached binary with the secondary filling its Roche lobe, giving it a distorted shape.[5]
The third component, λ Tau C, is orbiting the inner pair over a 33.025 day period with an eccentricity of roughly 0.15. The orbital plane of this component is nearly coplanar with the orbit of Lambda Tauri AB, differing by no more than 7°. It has about half the mass of the Sun.[12] The orbit of this star causes perturbation effects on the orbit of the AB pair, resulting in periodic changes in their orbital eccentricity and other orbital elements.[5]

Teachers share a significant responsibility in preparing young people to lead successful and productive lives. The Australian Professional Standards for Teachers reflect and build on national and international evidence that a teacher's effectiveness has a powerful impact on students,1 with a broad consensus that teacher quality is the single-most important in-school factor influencing student achievement.2 Effective teachers can be a source of inspiration and, equally importantly, provide a dependable and consistent influence on young people as they make choices about further education, work and life.
As stated in the National Partnership on Improving Teacher Quality3 and the Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians,4 improving teacher quality is considered an essential reform as part of Australia's efforts to improve student attainment and ensure it has a world-class system of education. 'The greatest resource in Australian schools is our teachers. They account for the vast majority of expenditure in school education and have the greatest impact on student learning, far outweighing the impact of any other education program or policy'.5
Internationally6, education systems are developing professional standards for teachers as a mechanism to attract, develop, recognise and retain teachers. 'High performing school systems, though strikingly different in construct and context, [maintain] a strong focus on improving instruction because of its direct impact upon student achievement'.7
"Effective teachers are crucial for enhancing student engagement and achievement, and play a vital role in establishing productive and supportive school environments. The Standards will spark professional dialogue among teachers and principals regarding what is expected of effective teachers."
— Ms Sheree Vertigan, President, Australian Secondary Principals Association

Paneling is actual wood that covers the wall from top to bottom, so you shouldn't be able to see any of the product behind the paneling. However, if you plan to drill holes into the wood it helps to know what is behind the paneling. It could be drywall, more wood, brick or concrete. The material behind the paneling determines how much work is required to drill the hole and what kind of equipment you need.
Things You'll Need
- 12 volt power drill
- Butterfly-tipped drill bits
- Flashlight
Apply butterfly drill bits designed for concrete to the drill. These are drill bits that have a slight lipped edge to the tips. The lipped edge allows the bits to catch more of the concrete, propelling it to drill into the material. Without it the drill bit may just spin around and around without actually deepening the hole. You can find these bits at any home improvement store.
Place the drill bit against the wood paneling, and power on the drill at a slow speed. Apply ample pressure to the back of the drill as it digs into the paneling.
Stop if you suddenly feel the wall resist the drill. Remove the drill from the hole and shine a light into it. If you see concrete or masonry, you know you need to continue using the butterfly drill bit. If you see drywall, you can use the same bit, or you can use a standard drill bit.
Press firmly against the drill as you attempt to increase the drill hole depth. Power the drill to full power as you increase the depth of the hole. Take periodic breaks while you drill. This is because the bit becomes hot as it spins rapidly in the concrete. Not only can this wear down the bit, but it can also heat up the wood paneling and even start a fire.
Measure the depth of the hole, and stop when you reach the necessary size.

SONOMA, Calif. NASCAR officials idled Jeff Gordon's car Friday, not his enthusiasm.
"I am in a different mood than my teammate, our crew chiefs and (team owner) Rick Hendrick, who are all wracking their brains to get through this day," said Gordon, whose wife, Ingrid Vandebosch, gave birth to the couple's first child, Ella Sofia, in New York on Wednesday. "I'm on Cloud 9. Nothing is going to bring down from the high that I am on with life in general."
Maybe not, but his chances to repeat at the Sunday's Toyota / Save Mart 350 certainly took a hit when Gordon's and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson's cars failed their initial inspection, an infraction that kept both cars from practicing or qualifying on Friday.
NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said the front fenders of both Gordon's No. 24 and Johnson's No. 48 didn't conform to the specifications set for the Car of Tomorrow, NASCAR's next-generation car designed to enhance both racing and safety.
"We felt we understood fully the rules," " Hendrick Vice President Doug Duchardt said. "We felt that we could work between the points on the template and it became clear to us, and I think to everyone, that that is not acceptable."
Hendrick has claimed five of the first six races that utilize the Car of Tomorrow, but the cars they brought to Sonoma had never been used in a race before. Both cars eventually went through the inspection line and were the first cars on the 1.99-mile, 10-turn course when practice commenced this morning
Gordon, who is atop the series points standings, will start 41st and reigning series champ Johnson will start 42nd in the 43-car field via Hendrick's owner's points exemption.
LINEUP: Toyota/Save Mart 350
"I'll be honest, right now, it's a little hard for us to be realistic about a win," Gordon said. "It's more about being realistic about trying to get a top 10. "
Gordon was third-quickest in morning practice Saturday and 10th-quickest at Happy Hour, although he did spin at he hairpin. Johnson was 16th-quickest in morning and ninth fastest in Happy Hour.
Only three drivers have started outside the top 10 and won at Infineon, including Gordon who won from 11th here last year. The furthest back a driver has started and won is 13th (Davey Allison in 1991).
The team's two other cars driven by Kyle Busch and Casey Mears were not found to be in violation.
Neither Steve Letarte (Gordon's crew chief) or Chad Knaus (Johnson's crew chief) were ejected after the violations, a fate that befell four crew chiefs before the season-opening Daytona 500 for illegal alterations made to NASCAR's current-generation car.
"What we had in those instantaneous ejections of crew chiefs was from a different era, so to speak," NASCAR President Mike Helton said. "They were circumventing safety, restrictor plates and things like that. As time goes on, it may become necessary to take that state with the Car of Tomorrow. I won't say we won't do that, I just don't think it warrants it at this time."
Knaus is known for pushing the limits of NASCAR's rules. An illegally mounted rear window found before the 2006 Daytona 500 resulted in a four-race suspension of Knaus, who also was fined $25,000 and put on probation the rest of the season for the infraction.
"It is something that we do," Knaus said. "It is no different than trying to find the proper shock package. It is no different than the drivers trying to find a new line around a race track. We always try to make the cars a little bit better.. .. If you don't continue to try to evolve your racecar, your setups, your driving style, you are not going to stay on top of the curve."
Hendrick likely won't escape unscathed. The first major violation of Car of Tomorrow era came last month in Darlington when illegal brackets that secure the rear wing were found on Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s No. 8 Chevrolet. Crew chief Tony Eury Jr. wasn't immediately ejected but was eventually suspended for six races and fined $100,000. Earnhardt also lost 100 driver's points and Dale Earnhardt Inc. was docked 100 owner's points.
Any fines or suspensions will be announced early next week, according to Poston.
McMurray on pole: Roush Racing's Jamie McMurray secured the pole Friday —- his first in nearly two years —- with a lap time of 77.521 seconds (92.414 mph).
"We had a great qualifying run here last year and I ran off in Turn 1 and made for a long day for us," McMurray said. "Hopefully, we'll end up with a top five out of (this)."
Robby Gordon, who won here in 2003, will start alongside McMurray; Earnhardt will start third.
Montoya stumbles: Conventional wisdom had Sonoma as Juan Pablo Montoya's first best chance to win a Cup race since Sonoma is a road course, the kind of circuit he raced on for years in Formula One and Champ Car. Then came the rookie's qualifying attempt that ended up being the 32nd-fasted on the day.
"We thought we would be a couple tenths off the pole, but we didn't think we'd do that poorly," Montoya said. "We easily thought we had top-10 car this weekend. Now it's tough because the car seems off the pace. We've made life a lot harder on ourselves."
On the road again: The Car of Tomorrow may be making its road-course racing debut, but veteran sports car driver Boris Said said it feels very familiar.
"It's funny, it feels like a Grand-Am Cup car with a lot more horsepower," said Said, who qualified fourth, tops among the road-racing specialist. "That's exactly what it feels like."
Ron Fellows, a semi-retired sports car driver, was second among road-course ringers in qualifying, putting his Hall of Fame Racing entry into the 11th starting position.
"It probably doesn't hurt that this is early in the Car of Tomorrow development," said Fellows, who replaces Tony Raines this weekend. "To try to bag a win here is tough. Anything in the top five would be awesome."
The other road racers who made the race included, Marc Goossens (21st), Butch Leitzinger (30th), and P.J. Jones (43rd). Brandon Ash, Brian Simo and Klaus Graf failed to qualify.
While not technically a road-racing ace, Terry Labonte did put the No. 55 Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota into the field for the third time this season. Team Red Bull's A.J. Allmendinger, a former Champ Car driver, failed to make the race, breaking the string of races he's qualified for at six.

Rwanda is considering partnering with policy innovators from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as a way of building on the country's development success.
Researchers and academics from The Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL), based at MIT joined Rwandan policy makers at a Decision Science Symposium this Tuesday, May 21, 2013.
They discussed best practice policy evaluation tools and drew on research undertaken by J-PAL in 21 countries across Africa, including Rwanda.
J-PAL's network of academics shared experiences and insights across health, education and agriculture.
"There is potential for us to learn from the rigorous impact evaluations that have been conducted not only in Rwanda but also in other East African countries and around the world," says Amb. Claver Gatete, Minister of Finance and Economic Planning.
"In our mission to become a knowledge-based middle-income country by 2020, we need to embrace innovation, and adopt new ideas with the proven capacity to advance our economy and improve people's lives," he said.
Executive Director of J-PAL at MIT Dr. Rachel Glennerster, said, "We are very excited by the strong commitment of the Rwandan government for evidence based policy and are delighted to be working with Rwanda on applying lessons from rigorous impact evaluations."
Rwanda is already implementing many of the proven programs we recommend, and it is encouraging to see this level of enthusiasm for expanding an evidence-based approach to policy," she said

Report: Half of children killed in fires are under age 5
Children age 4 and younger, those least able to make their way to safety without help, account for roughly half of all childhood deaths and injuries suffered in fires, a federal report to be released today finds.
Children younger than 5 made up 52% of the deaths of children younger than 16 in fires in 2007, researchers for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) found in analyzing the most current data. They were 46% of the injuries that year.
Researchers found that deaths among the youngest of children increased 2% from 2004 to 2007. Fire and burns were the third-leading cause of accidental deaths, after transportation accidents and drowning, for children younger than 15 in 2007. Nearly 510 children died in fires that year.
"Any fire death is unfortunate, but the greatest tragedy is when you see so many that affect children 4 years and younger," FEMA Director Craig Fugate says.
With cold gripping much of the nation, fire deaths are mounting — often from electrical heaters, fireplace mishaps or candles used for heat and light during power outages, Fugate says.
"In November, we started to see more residential fires," he says. "It seemed like every week we were seeing a multideath fire involving children."
Each year, more than 3,500 Americans die in fires and roughly 18,300 are injured, the National Fire Protection Association reports.
The FEMA report — drawn from the National Center for Health Statistics, the National Fire Incident Reporting System and the National Fire Protection Survey — says children account for 13% of all fire deaths and 11% of injuries.
Although children are less likely to die in fires than the population as a whole — with 8.3 per million deaths among children younger than 15 vs. 13.2 per million in the general population — the youngest children face the highest risk of all children of dying or being injured, federal statistics show.
Children 9 and younger accounted for 93% of deaths and 38% of injuries where the cause of a residential fire was reported to be "playing with a heat source," researchers say.
The lack of a working smoke detector has been linked with nearly 25% of fatal residential fires, though just 3% of homes do not have smoke alarms installed, the report says. Studies carried out in Australia and Canada have shown that sleeping children often do not react quickly enough when a smoke alarm goes off and must be roused by an adult.
"Little kids just can't get out by themselves, " Fugate says. "Kids need to be rescued. If the adults in the household don't know what's going on until it's too late, they're going to perish."
What's most distressing, says Mark Shriver, chairman of the National Commission on Children and Disaster, is that "we're trending upward. ... It's not getting better."
To turn the tide, Fugate says, FEMA, the commission and more than two-dozen other organizations will launch a national campaign today to promote fire safety. The federal agency will post safety tips and other information at www.ready.gov/kidsfiresafety. FEMA also is promoting a dialogue on Twitter, using the hashtag #kidsfiresafety.

The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Aberdeen Section is looking forward to welcoming Expro to its next technical meeting, where the well flow management company will discuss its wireless well solutions used to reduce reservoir uncertainty.
Taking place on Wednesday, 27 May, Brian Champion, global sales director of Expro Wireless Well Solutions, will highlight the ways in which reservoir uncertainty can be reduced, production can be optimised and well safety enhanced.
Drawing upon more than 35 years' experience within the oil and gas industry, gained in various field, management and technical positions, extending across cased-hole logging and intervention, well testing, drilling and completions, Mr Champion will also discuss the new solutions available using advanced wireless in-well communications.
Commenting on his presentation, Brian Champion said: "I will examine the uncertainties regarding reservoir connectivity and compartmentalisation, one of the biggest risks operators have to contend with across the globe. Wireless monitoring technology is now being broadly applied across the industry to reduce this uncertainty, without compromising production or well safety.
"Having been heavily involved in the development and leadership of Expro's wireless technology offering since it was introduced to the business in 2004, I look forward to sharing my experience at this SPE Aberdeen event."
