SUSPECT decisions made by referee Tony Harrington may not have been the root cause of Bury's crushing defeat, but they certainly clouded the issue.
Bury had, in the large part, been outplayed by Paul Cook's promotion chasers before Danny Mayor was shown a straight red card for a studs-up challenge on Matt Brown in first-half stoppage time.
It was clear the Cleveland match official was preparing to brandish his fifth red card in 16 matches as he sprinted over to the scene of the crime, where the strapping Spireites centre-back was writhing around as if he was in serious pain.
As Shakers boss David Flitcroft put it, the 6'5" giant bounced back up pretty quickly after Mayor had been given his marching orders for, admittedly, leaving his foot in, but without the kind of force or momentum to cause any damage.
Harrington would take centre stage again in the second half, to overrule his assistant's offside flag to allow Chesterfield's third goal to stand.
But while we will never know whether a full-strength Bury side could have mounted a serious challenge in the second half, the likelihood is the result, if not the scoreline, would have ended much the same.
Flying wingers Gary Roberts and Jay O'Shea were the true cause of Bury's torment, singling out teenaged full-backs James Burke and Frederic Veseli.
Nathan Cameron, back in a more central role in the back four, was also given a hard time early on by Chesterfield strikers Marc Richards and Ollie Banks.
The 22-year-old former Coventry defender looked the more likely candidate for an early bath after being drawn into picking up his fifth yellow card of the season in only the eighth minute.
Only experienced centre-back Richard Hinds looked capable of stemming the tide of Chesterfield attacks, but he was powerless to prevent Roberts from opening the scoring in the 16th minute.
The talented left-sided midfielder had already seen two shots fly wide before he volleyed an O'Shea centre in at the far post after Cameron had failed to connect properly with his attempted headed clearance.
Chesterfield's opening goal came either side of some hefty challenges from Jimmy Ryan and Nathan Smith, which garnered two yellow cards for the Spireites as they looked intent on roughing up the young Bury side.
The treatment certainly seemed to get to Cameron, who was lucky not to pick up a second yellow for a clear block.
At the other end, Shakers strikers Daniel Nardiello and Anton Forrester ploughed a lonely furrow, testing opposition keeper Tommy Lee with a shot apiece, while Hinds volleyed a Chris Sedgwick corner over on the stretch.
But Flitcroft would have been relieved to get his players in at 1-0 down, if it was not for Mayor's red card in one of the last acts of the first half.
Cameron was withdrawn at the break "for his own good", as the Bury boss put it, and Tom Soares replaced him in an attacking switch that saw Hinds revert to the middle of a back three.
But the Chesterfield pressure continued until a moment of magic from O'Shea, who fired in an unstoppable 25-yard shot off the post to effectively settle the encounter on 65 minutes.
Lee safely gathered another Nardiello snapshot before the referee once again took centre stage.
Richards initially peeled away to celebrate heading in at the back post, only to be flagged for offside. But Harrington overruled his assistant, adjudging substitute Tom Soares had actually got the decisive touch, disregarding the fact he did so under severe pressure from a man deemed to be standing in an offside position.
Substitute Dan Gardner squeezed home a breakaway fourth, which looped in despite keeper Brian Jensen getting a strong hand to it, to condemn Bury to their worst defeat since a 4-0 turnaround at Sheffield United in September, 2011. But, after taking seven points from a possible nine over the festive period, Hinds believes the reality check could have a positive effect.
"While it is a disappointing result, it might be good for us in a way," he said.
"It might bring us back down to earth and I think the manager will have learned a lot from that."

Attendance: 6,053.
Star man: Daniel Nardiello – Looked a threat all afternoon despite the increasingly forlorn nature of his goal mission. The Chesterfield defence really struggled to keep him under wraps and he led by example, demonstrating to his younger colleagues the importance of putting in a shift for the full 90 minutes – no matter what the scoreline. Deserved to get his name on the scoresheet for effort alone.

Gay Rights Violence Erupts in Moscow
Religious leaders who last February predicted violence if activists in Moscow went ahead with a planned gay rights march saw their forecasts become reality over the weekend. Russian gay rights activists, attempting to hold the country's first gay rights march on Saturday as the culmination of a two-day conference called Moscow Pride '06, were met by Russian nationalists and ultra-orthodox Christians when they arrived at their gathering place, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
According to the St. Petersburg Times, "As the activists laid their flowers at the gate, protesters stomped on them and threw eggs and tomatoes at the activists. And as the protesters' chants — 'Death to fags!' and 'Fags out of Russia!' — grew louder, and as the tenor of the confrontation grew uglier, OMON riot police formed a chain to pry the crowd away from the gate."
Some of the activists began to move toward the march's planned second stop, a monument to Prince Yury Dolgoruky. There they were met by ultranationalists including Alexander Belov, head of the Movement Against Illegal Immigrants, Konstantin Krylov, head of the Russian Public Movement, and State Duma Deputy Nikolai Kuryanovich, of the ultranationalist Liberal Democratic Party.
Kuryanovich was leading the crowd in chants urging that gays and lesbians be sent to Kolyma, a Soviet-era labor camp. Many of the nationalists covered their faces with coats and masks so not to be identified.
Caught in the melee was Gay German MP, Volker Beck (above), who was giving a television interview when a group of nationalist youths attacked him, reportedly hitting him in the face with a brick while the cameras rolled. He later told German television the object was not a brick: "I was attacked. It was a stone and a fist. It shows we are not safe in this country. The security forces did not protect us but instead prevented us from retreating. We were left without any protection."
The attack on Beck, the leader of Germany's Green party has provoked much debate in his home country. Some are blaming Beck for putting himself in danger, while others say it is absolutely wrong to blame the victim and Russia's government must accept fault for what happened. Said Jürgen Rüttgers, the conservative premier of the state of North-Rhine Westphalia: "[What happened in Moscow] 'isn't worthy of a democracy.'"
Russian police reportedly dragged the march organizer Nikolai Alexeyev (above left) from the gates of the monument before detaining him, and also detained lesbian rights activist Evgeniya Debryanskaya (above right). Debryanskaya was attempting to give a speech before protestors soaked her with water. Philippe Lasnier, an aide to the mayor of Paris, was also held briefly. Alexeyev held a press conference just before the march began, where he told reporters, "We are conducting a peaceful action. We want to show that we have the same rights as other citizens."
Russian Orthodox Christians held crosses and yelled into bullhorns: "Death to pederasts!"
Police lined up and detained Russian nationalists, who accused them of siding with activists.
An activist and a young Russian nationalist.
Oscar Wilde's grandson Merlin Holland, who was giving a lecture at the conference, was moved to safety by police. Holland, a heterosexual, has been vocal about gay rights, and last February a sent a letter to Russian president Vladimir Putin after an anti-gay television program aired on Russian TV. Said Holland at the time: "Homosexuals are not terrorists; they are not murderers; they are not fanatics who take hostages to achieve their goals. They are simply human beings who are asking that their rights to normal lives be recognised. It is nothing of which to be ashamed; it is not decadent and depraved; it is a part of human nature and has been since the dawn of civilization...My grandfather was imprisoned in 1895 simply for being a homosexual and our family was almost destroyed as a result."
For fear that many others might be hurt, the march was not announced on activist websites or via mail. And despite the violence, organizer Alexeyev called the event a success: "A hundred people were not afraid to go out and protest homophobia and fascism." He says the rally will be an annual event.

Excellent report. After posting several reports as news was coming out from Moscow on Saturday, today I directed to my readers to read yours today. It is compelling. Good job as always.
I represent several gay Russians seeking asylum in the United States and I have had a difficult time proving to judges here how dangerous the climate is for gays in Russia. This reporting educates us all, and hopefully reminds us not to take our freedoms for granted.

Thank you for this jarring report, Andy. Could we find 100 American gays to risk life and limb for our rights? I, sadly, doubt it.
Posted by: Leland | May 30, 2006 11:07:46 AM
It seems to me that the international fight for the rights of homosexuals would and should be the focus of the gay rights movement in the US and other Western nations where we have achieved an unprecedented level of acceptance. For me, the fight for "marriage" isn't nearly as important as the right to simply march down the street. Sure, my full rights as a citizen of the US need to be realized, but how can I or why should I fight for marriage when my gay brother and sisters can't even stand up and be seen in Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, etc.... Racism, Nationalism, Homophobia, Xenophobia...all of these "phobias" are on the rise throughout Europe...... We homosexuals, and those who aren't but who support our full rights, truly need to put an international and sustained spotlight on the places in the world where our lives are considered subhuman and cheap.
As we mobilized the world to fight AIDS, as Black Americans ignited global liberation struggles with their fight for civil rights, we must once again stand up for the most basic rights of homosexuals internationally.

Beck507, I think we're just sort of left "speechless" by the news and photographs from Russia. The photographs of the Russian Orthodox priests calling for the murder of gay people was especially disgusting and frightening. From Jamaica to Iran to Poland and Russia, we're still in danger for being gay, aren't we?

The Russian Orthodoxy, like most of the churches in Eastern Europe are seeing their ranks grow smaller and smaller as people become wise of their fear-mongering. Unfortunately, because people suffer from being extremely uneducated and poor these guys still have a grip on some peoples' ears. The Russian government is also complacent in keeping the populace under their control.
PS. This is a wake-up call for what the American Taliban is trying to do to this country.
PPS. I read a really interesting account of a visit to one of the mega-churches in Texas. It's a definite must read called "Six Flags Over Jesus": http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/5/29/193711/698

Now THAT'S a gay pride march worth supporting. The picture showing a "russian nationalist" (whatever that means) says a thousand words.
By the way, is that "russian nationalist" a man or a woman? I think she's female, but it's hard to say. Apparently russian nationalism is against homos, but loves androgyny.

It need not be a fight for marriage in the United States OR a fight for freedom of assembly in other countries. It should be BOTH! But we don't have even civil union rights in most places in the US because the vast majority of out American gays are content to feed off the freedoms few of them contributed to attaining. Studies show we spend billions on vacations, cars, homes, clothes, circuit events, etc., yet the combined budgets of all national gay groups doesn't come close the annual budget of Focus on the Family alone. Certainly there are some substantive reasons for this along with the selfishness. What have they done for us lately, except ask for more money. Nationally, we have fewer rights than we did five years ago, yet most of them are running the same bankrupt game plan that hasn't worked for years, and set no example of personal sacrifice or urgency. Can anyone imagine HRC's Joe Solomonese or GLAAD's Neil Giuliano even risking peaceful arrest—as a group of 20-something "amateurs" from Soulforce recently did—let alone physical danger as those marchers in Moscow? This just in from 365gay.com: "Bush Preparing New Push For Anti-Gay Amendment. President Bush reportedly will hold a Rose Garden press conference on June 5 to press Congress to enact the so-called Federal Marriage Amendment that would ban same-sex marriage." It doesn't matter whether or not each of us wants to get married, anymore than men should ignore discrimination against women, or White against Blacks. And the reason he gets called a fascist so often is because he KNOWS there's really no chance of it passing. He's simply ONCE AGAIN demonizing us to rouse the rabble to try to slow down his ever more falling approval rating and damage to the GOP at the 2006 polls. Tonight's PBS special on AIDS may or may not mention that he seems to be keeping his promise to spend more money on fighting the AIDS epidemic OVERSEAS. Will it also acknowledge that, there, most cases involve nongays, whereas in the US, where so many infected ARE gay, his administration has flatlined Ryan White Care funds for years and continues to push to reroute up to a quarter of those inflation-reduced monies to RURAL areas where, proportionately they are the least needed? WHERE IS OUR ANGER?

The Blade has a minute-by-minute report by a participant that makes the pictures of the bloodied Volker Beck and the Black Shirts even more chilling. "...There were three waves. First there were the Boys, the most numerous, mostly young (though some ranged into their late thirties), black-clad, short-haired though usually not shaven, thuggish and enraged. They were the shock troops. They were followed by the Priests. These, fatter, older, carried crosses or icons.They had beards, often, leather jackets trimmed to look like orthodox cassocks, sometimes black T-shirts with crosses bent fascist-style as if ready to administer a black mass. They chanted. Chanted. Finally, in the rear, there were the grandmothers. Old babushkas, kerchiefed, also carrying icons. They turned their backs on the mayhem the leaders were causing, faced the curious or outraged crowd, vented their tearful misery at the spectacle of their [gaybashing] grandsons being arrested behind them, sang hymns, presented a pathetic face of suffering...The little band of people trying to present their roses were suddenly surrounded.... The crush was paralyzing--I could barely breathe. The extremists were delivering body blows to people around me right and left. Volker was hit in the right eye with a rock. A punch in the same eye from the bent-nosed thug followed. He fell to the ground...Flecks of blood on sidewalk cement cracked by decades of spring thaws."

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, France's First Lady, was on hand to greet the wives of the delegates who will take part at the G8 Summit which is happening at the Villa Strassburger in Deauville, France today (May 26).
As the radiant mom socialized with her fellow first ladies in the French resort town – where their spouses are attending a summit of G8 leaders – there didn't seem to be any attempts made to hide her noticeable bump beneath her loose fitting smock dress.
Dressed in an unbelted, loose-fitting white dress and black overcoat, the 43-year-old wife of French President Nikolas Sarkozy took some time to pose for pictures.
The Italian-born singer and model appeared radiant and delighted to be in front of the camera and in the company of her colleagues.
A reporter for Canadian news channel CTV, was quoted as saying: "When she touched her belly and rubbed her belly the entire French delegation of reporters gasped at the press centre. It's the first time she ever did that."
Rumors of the Bruni-Sarkozy pregnancy were put to rest when Sarkozy's father told reporters he was "mad with joy" that the couple was expecting a child.
The baby, due in early fall, is confirmed to be a boy.
The Italian born stunner has a 10-year-old son Aurélian, from a previous marriage and her husband has three sons – Pierre, 26, Jean, 25, and Louis, 14 – from two previous marriages.View Slideshow »»

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- 3D Systems (DDD) fell 7.5% to $78.87 Friday after Citron Research released a cautious new report on the 3D printer producer.
In the report, the firm, most well known for its short-selling ideas, set a near-term price target for 3D Systems at $56. Citron cites two recent earning reports from 3D Systems that missed analyst estimates.
The 3D printing company is set to report another quarter with marginal profits, Citron says. It uses a quote from CEO Avi Reichental to support the statement. At the Needham Investment Conference in January, Reichental said, "[W]e're absolutely willing to tolerate temporary earnings compression and even a slight margin compression during this period of substantially accelerated growth rate and market share expansion."
Citron also compares 3D Systems to competitor Statasys (SSYS), which owns Makerbot. The firm points out that Makerbot 3D printers have more reviews on Amazon (AMZN), and generally receive higher ratings.
TheStreet Ratings team rates 3D SYSTEMS CORP as a Buy with a ratings score of B. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate 3D SYSTEMS CORP (DDD) a BUY. This is driven by a number of strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, growth in earnings per share, compelling growth in net income and good cash flow from operations. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity."

PERSHORE bus services may not be cut back as much as had been feared, according to an early preview of the newly proposed timetable.
At a special meeting of Pershore Town Council on Tuesday this week members met to discuss what changes will be made to the timetable.
And although the final decision on the cut backs will not be made until a Worcestershire County Council cabinet meeting on Monday, June 9, councillors were positive about what was being put forward.
Currently the plans show the loss of a subsidised service from Pershore to Upton Snodsbury and Peopleton altogether and the possible cutting of the town's only remaining Sunday bus service.
Reductions to afternoon and evening services were also made across the board and it was suggested the county council were unlikely to offer a subsidised service on Friday and Saturday evenings.
Despite this councillors, who had feared all services could be lost, were positive about the changes.
Councillor Charles Tucker, who has led a campaign with county councillor Liz Tucker and other residents to stop the cut backs in Pershore and the surrounding villages, said he was "cautiously encoraged".
"If we have this timetable I think Pershore is very lucky but it is early days," he said.
A positive to come from the meeting was the revelation people would be able to use their bus pass on particular services before 9.30am from September.
One issue was raised by town clerk Ann Dobbins regarding the length of time people travelling into Pershore from Inkberrow would have to wait until a return bus was available.
The council decided the bus group, a collection of councillors, were able to make enquiries with the county council as to how routes could be amended to tackle this without taking on an extra service.
A decision was also made to let them discuss with service providers the possibility of retaining the Sunday 166 service between Worcester and Stratford, but this is likely to take place after the cabinet meeting.
Cllr Val Wood thanked the bus group for their hard work and Pershore mayor, Cllr Tony Rowley, said: "If what we have is what we get the group have done very well. I am also pleased Pensham has been added to the route.
"We have got something out of this now that we can work with."

During the May 6 Governing Board meeting, the members voted in favor of the Citizen's Committee recommendations. We will be asking our community to support a Bond during the November 2015 election.
GUHSD Board Calls for Special Election
Citizen's Recommendation to Board
On April 15, 2015, the Glendale Union High School District's Citizen's Committee made the recommendation that the GUHSD Governing Board call for a bond election… in November 2015. The Citizen's Committee's recommendations to the board were reached unanimously, finding that there is a need for both capital equipment and continued facility improvements that the state does not adequately fund. Through community meetings held by the committee (March 24, 25, and 26, 2015) and an online survey sent to stakeholders, the committee found overwhelming community support for moving forward with a bond election. The Citizen's Committee acknowledged the difficulty of the decision and voiced appreciation for the Governing Board's solicitation of input from the community, pledging its support toward the effort of calling for a bond election. The Governing Board thanked the co-chairs and the committee for involvement in the process and for their time and dedication.
The GUHSD Citizen's Committee- comprised of parents, students, teachers, support staff, community members, and administrators - was originally formed by an authorization from the Governing Board on December 4, 2013. The Citizen's Committee's work led to the Governing Board calling for and passing the Maintenance and Operation Override election in 2014. With the recommendation to call for the Maintenance and Operation Override election the committee also recommended that the district not run an election for capital equipment at the same time and also found that there were no alternative revenue sources that would off-set the need for either election.
For more information about the complete process, visit www.guhsdaz.org/election
Citizen's Presentations
Presentations shared with the community during the meetings are available on GUHSD's website. Visit the presentation tab for more details: http://www.guhsdaz.org/election.

Citizen's Recommend Asking For Bond
Summary of Meeting Minutes – February 11, 2015
On Feb. 11 Glendale Union High School District (GUHSD) Citizen's Committee unanimously voted to take forward the need for a bond election to community stakeholders.
The committee reconvened to consider the capital and infrastructure needs across the district and learn how the governor's proposed budget could impact the district. The meeting considered the specific capital needs of each school.
The committee found that the majority of needs within the district pertain to building maintenance (aging facilities and buildings coupled with the lack of funds to address these problems) and could become safety issues if not resolved.
The governor's proposed shift in expenditures of 5% from non-classroom to classroom expenditures will affect many school operations since non-classroom expenses include building maintenance, transportation, and other student support services. In addition, non-classroom expenses include salaries for bus drivers, school nurses, counselors, IT personnel, media specialists and others.
Classroom expenditures are defined as costs for teachers, teacher aides, instructional supplies and tuition to private schools.
The committee also reviewed the original charge of the governing board and the difference between a capital override and a bond in regard to the effect on local taxes and election pass rates.
Three neighborhood meetings will be held to gather input and address concerns from community members in regards to the need for a bond election. These will be held at the following times and locations:
March 24 – Sunnyslope High School, 35 W Dunlap, Phoenix (East Conference Room) – 6:30 p.m.
March 25 – Apollo High School, 8045 N 47 Avenue, Glendale (Auditorium) – 6:30 p.m.

* The Citizen's Committee is made up of representatives from all nine GUHSD schools – parents, community members, students, teachers and administrators. This committee was the original committee that studied the need for and recommended the renewal of the maintenance and operation override that was successfully passed last November.
Citizen's Committee to Review Impact of Governor's Budget
Citizen's Committee Members - We are planning to reconvene the election committee that met last year in February to help make recommendations to the Governing Board on elections. The meeting is scheduled for February 11th at 6:00-8:00 pm in the Big Hawk room at Apollo High School, 8045 N 47th Ave, Glendale. During the meeting we are going to review the recommendations of the committee from last year, review the impact of the Governor's budget proposal, and study election options in 2015. We value your input and look forward to seeing you there.
GUHSD Superintendent to Retire
After serving for more than four decades in education, the superintendent of Glendale Union High School District is retiring.
Mr. Eugene Dudo has served as superintendent for the district for the past three years. The Governing Board voted Wednesday during their regular meeting to accept his resignation at the end of June.
"It will be very hard to see Mr. Dudo leave," Board President Don DeBusk said. "He is a man of integrity and is respected by all. He has made such a sig…nificant difference within GUHSD. All nine of our schools earned "A's" under his leadership. He will be missed."
Dudo served as the district's Chief Financial Officer prior to becoming the superintendent. He previously worked for the Arizona Department of Education in school finance. In retirement, Dudo plans to spend time with his family and travel.
The Governing Board hired Dr. Jim Mitchell as the consultant for the Superintendent Search. Join us for a community meeting on February 3, 6:00 p.m. at Moon Valley High School, 3625 W Cactus Rd, Phoenix to learn more about the search process and how you can provide input on the qualities you would like the next superintendent to possess. Forward this invitation to others within our community who you believe would be interested in attending.
If you are unable to attend the meeting you are still able to provide your input by completing the survey located at https://www.research.net/s/BV8LHCY.
We look forward to your attendance on February 3 so you can assist the board with their search for GUHSD's next leader.
Congratulations GUHSD! After months of hard work, planning, and preparation by our citizens committee, we are proud to report our community overwhelmingly voted to continue the M & O Override for GUHSD. So today we celebrate, congratulate, and say thank you. Thank you to the citizens of GUHSD for recognizing the value of education by voting in favor of this much needed override.
Thank you to all the teachers, support staff employees, and administrators who volunteered their time to work on our behalf. A special thank you to all the members of the citizens committee and the co-chairs for leading the initial charge given by the Governing Board. This was truly a team effort.
We are forever grateful to the GUHSD community for supporting this initiative. Thank you!
Tomorrow is Election Day!
LAST CHANCE…GUHSD supporters in case you missed it and still haven't voted, tomorrow is Election Day. We want to ensure every supporter has a chance to have their YES vote heard. If you still have a YES ballot that needs to be submitted please take time to drop it off at your election site.
Voters, if you still haven't voted, please don't sit this one out. We need your vote. We need everyone to vote YES. The fate of the district's M & O funding is in our hands. Make sure you make it to your election site and cast your vote in favor of GUHSD. If you don't know where your polling place is, find it here:
If you've already voted please take time to call a friend or neighbor who lives within GUHSD and remind them to vote if they haven't already. Provide them with the reasons why it's vital to renew GUHSD's M & O Override.
Thank you so very much to all those that continue to fight for what's right. Thank you for your continued support of GUHSD.
Vote YES on GUHSD's M & O Override
With one week left until the election, please continue encouraging your friends and neighbors to support GUHSD's Maintenance & Operation Override. Continuing this override will protect programs vital to student success, continue extracurricular and athletic program, retain highly qualified teachers, and will maintain the current level of funding without raising taxes. Without the override the district will have to cut an additional $7.6 million from their operating budget. Let's show our support and VOTE YES to continue the override.

Glenbrook's Erin McCune is in Orlando for BAI's Payments Connect conference.
John Stewart of Digital Transaction News moderated an open discussion exploring the most pressing issues in e-payments. It picked up on the list of 10 pressing themes raised in the November issue (pgs. 26-32). The panelists were:
Aaron Fine, Oliver Wyman
David C Stewart, McKinsey
Andrew Frisbie, First Manhattan Consulting Group
The audience fielded questions and the panelists, moderator, and even other audience members chimed in. Highlights are as follows:
On merchant interchange:
Dave Stewart questioned the strategy of merchants positioning interchange as a consumer issue, as a jobs issue. Would merchants really lower prices or hire additional people if interchange was reduced? John Stewart raised the Australia example to illustrate how interchange was cut drastically yet merchants did not pass on savings to consumers.
On cash usage:
Cash usage is increasing. As a result of consumer deleveraging – cash and debit are perceived to be good budgeting tools. Dave Stewart observed that the single biggest growth opportunity for the banking industry is to take on cash usage (offering more carrots than sticks).
Andrew Frisbie commented that many debit users, recognizing the risk of overdrawing their account and getting hit with fines, continue to do so. It isn't as effective a budgeting tool as perceived.
Aaron Fine shared that he rarely pays with cash anymore. Yet Dave Stewart wondered how much easily displaceable cash is there? From his personal experience, knowing the merchant perspective, he feels guilty charging $5 for a taxi. Until micropayment pricing schemes gain traction, consumer guilt may inhibit widespread use of cards for what are currently cash transactions today – for instance in a taxi. Can banks offer sufficient incentives to make consumers less concerned about merchant value proposition?
On mobile:
Dave Stewart indicated that NFC in the U.S. is still a long way out.
Aaron Fine onbserved that if you are a bank, the opportunity to increase transaction volume via mobile payments is relatively modest. But if you are a non bank – carrier or Apple for instance – payments are incremental business, and an exciting opportunity.
Andrew Frisbie remarked that from a customer perspective, who is interested in trying all these new channels? Those interested in new means of interacting with the bank (depending on the era, ATM, IVR, debit, mobile… ) are some of the least attractive customers from a profit perspective.
Aaron Fine observed that the carriers and a big retailer such as Wal-Mart together form a formidable threat to the banks, rather than retailers or carriers acting alone.
Dave Stewart reminded everyone that even those micropayment charges that are charged to the carrier bills are ultimately paid by a banking product often a credit or debit card.
Andrew Frisbie observed that as more and more electronic transactions are linked to DDA bank accounts (as recurring ACH debits, funding of a PayPal account, etc.) it makes it harder and harder consumers to switch banks.
On banks as incumbents:
Picking up on the general session that immediately preceded the session, one audience member observed that banks are in a very defensive position with a lot to lose, versus new providers with very little to lose and a lot to gain.
"Buy 'em and run 'em into the ground" quipped one of the panelists with a laugh. But in all seriousness, this is the nature of being an incumbent. You ride cash cow and meanwhile, have your innovative "tiger" team focus on new stuff and be ready to roll it out as customer need dictates. Someone is going to address the need, if the need really exists, so be ready.
Dave Stewart suggested that there is actually a "ton of innovation going on at banks" right now – more than in a decade. Largely due to regulation addressing overdraft fee and threatening to address interchange. New products and functionality enhancements are giving some banks a clear competitive advantage. Investment in credit card act compliance, new payment hubs, and enterprise- wide risk management give banks an opportunity differentiate. He cites the Chase blueprint card as an example of , innovation blurring lines between credit and debit. What it takes to actually change the processing for a given transaction behind the scenes is really remarkable from an operations perspective.
Andrew Frisbie, picking up on a topic from the Digital Transaction News article noted that bank product managers have needed to innovate for the first time in a decade due to Reg E, CARD Act, etc., and they will be demanding innovation from partners as well, including Visa and MasterCard.
John Stewart observed that the best thing that ever happened to innovation in a bank is the iPhone.
Aaron Fine observed that the marketplace evolving in a way that makes the core assets of the bank less valuable than they used to be. It's not a case of innovation as usual, or innovation accelerated. It's more drastic.
Andrew Frisbie observed that there has been considerable payment innovation outside the U.S. and that U.S. banks could derive their innovation playbook for the next five years by emulating some of the solutions overseas.
John Stewart notes that both NACHA and BAI have played a role in fostering innovation.
Dave Stewart wondered whether it is appropriate for NACHA to take strong stance on innovation, versus rule making. An audience member noted that "utility based innovation" is ideally appropriate for NACHA, delivering core, common functionality to the industry and allowing banks to do product development. [As an aside, NACHA's supplier directory ambition ss an example of utility innovation to serve the industry.]
On EMV/Chip & PIN deployment in the US:
An audience member suggested prepaid cards with Chip & PIN that could be sold to tourists and business people in airports for US travelers heading overseas. [Note: it was unclear whether the audience member had actually seen this product or was suggesting it as an industry opportunity – Glenbrook is in favor of this idea, given the popularity and number of comments we received on our posts highlighting the frustration of using US mag stripe cards in Europe.]
Dave Stewart noted that while EMV introduces card security that doesn't exist today in the US, what are the incentives for banks to implement it? Thus far card issuers have not seen a compelling reason.
Aaron Fine notes that the business case isn't strong enough, that fraud reductions are not great enough.
On the impact of social networking:
Dave Stewart notes that social networks are a good opportunity to get customer feedback. They may also provide more touch points for consumers to purchase. But he doesn't see a provider of social networking being a big player in payments.
Andrew Frisbie notes that here is a big cultural barrier – hard to imagine Facebook thinking like NACHA or a bank. But social networks are a highly effective channel for branding, customer service, etc.
Aaron Fine notes that the flow of information available via social networks is amazing, but that the social networks are not ready to build a payments network accessing the information flow, despite the desire to monetize it.

Wittenberg Guild Reaches Million-Dollar Milestone
Founded June 1, 1940 by Wittenberg President R. Edgar Tulloss, the Wittenberg Guild has raised significant funds for the university in the form of scholarships, art work, the Ann Miller Gallery, pianos for Krieg Hall, campus landscaping and the Wally Witt sculpture.
Now, as the Guild prepares to celebrate its 70th anniversary, it will also celebrate the millionth dollar raised to assist area students in attending Wittenberg. Although many Guild members have no formal connection to Wittenberg, either as alumnae or employees, all share a deep desire to be advocates for the university in the community and to promote Wittenberg to prospective students.
"As members of the Wittenberg Guild, we take pride in its affiliation with the university," said Mary Lou Loftis, former Guild president. Wittenberg plays a vital role in the cultural, educational and economic well-being of our community, and we feel that we can best benefit both Wittenberg and the community by providing funds for scholarships for our qualified area students."

Remington 870 EXPRESS MAGNUM help and advice
Hey folks. Last night was the first night I had my brand new 870 Express magnum run home defense duty. I had 4 in the magazine but no shells in the chamber (mine is 4+1 but do to safety, I just keep 4 in the mag). Is this a good system? Now keep in mind, the gun is COMPLETELY stock. Wooden stock and foreend (wood is amazing color and quality). The barrel is 25" and the overall length is 46". I have a nylon side saddle that sits on the stock that gives me 5 extra rounds. I have 2 snap caps that I will play with and practice loading (before all the mothers chime in, YES the gun is safety checked and all that jargon, so please save both of us some time and don't make a comment about that.) I want to turn this gun into a semi-tactical shotgun. I don't know if the express magnum is strictly hunting, or if it is marketed also as home defense. Now obviously an 870 is an 870 so it will get the job done. I am not too concerned about the mag capacity, because 4 rounds of 00buck will send the guy running, and if need be I have the extra shells around. I plan on putting a magpul MOE foreend on it. Goes on amazon for $29 (you guys will come to find I am an amazon addict). Will that foreend work on the express magnum? Another thing is an extended mag tube. I just got word that a mag tube will not work on the hunting 870's because of the dimples in the spring. So is this the same with the magnum? Will I not be able to add a tube extension? And advice is purely appreciated. This is my first real shotgun and first DEDICATED home defense firearm. PLEASE leave any tips or anything that will help.
Thanks. You guys are amazing and have saved my ass a few times.
I use the same gun except a 23in barrel and it's plastic. On the side saddle I have 4 slugs and one extra round of 00 buckshot. I only load the tube also, it's loaded with Hornady Critical defense 00 buck.
Ops I meant stock shell holder not sure why I typed side saddle
I like the 870. There is no difference between your regular 870 and a "tactical" one other than the furniture. It will not make the gun any better or worse by putting a plastic stock on it. It is just for looks or for changing how comfortable it is for you to use. Why spend x ammount of money to make it "tactical" when it will not change the function of the gun? Not trying to tell you what to do, but just trying to save you money.
The "Magnum" is EXACTLY the same as any other 870, except the ejector and ejector spring are a little different than the old 2-3/4" only guns, which haven't been made for 25 years.
The 5-rounder nylon shot shell holder that is located on the buttstock. It is a sleeve that slides on and easy to remove.

Comfort meets toughness...
By: Steve
Yes sir, boots that feel like loafers but are tough to handle outdoor work. The size runs big, I ordered a half size should have gone one full size down. Being that I like comfort these fit the bill.

These ar well made boots....
By: Bob White
The boot is very well made. They do run a good one size large, and I think the heel could be just a little narrower. They are waterproof, but just to be on the safe side, I added two coats of mink oil on them before the first use. I can hose them off, and they hold up.

TAMPA — Eight months ago, Muquit Usama was ready to close down his commercial painting business.
As the economy tanked, the man whose company painted Tampa's Florida Aquarium suddenly found himself without enough work to stay in business and keep paying his 15 employees.
"I basically just ran out of work," Usama said. "I've always done government work. But when things slowed down, everyone who did houses went into my business and I couldn't compete with the pricing."
But thanks to the federal economic stimulus package, Usama and his workers have been busy rehabilitating public housing complexes throughout Tampa.
Usama was one of the special guests Friday at an event commemorating the one-year anniversary of the passage of the $862 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the stimulus package has created or saved between 800,000 and 2.4 million jobs.
The legislation has brought $609 million and 590 jobs to Hillsborough County; $272 million and 168 jobs to Pinellas County; and $119 million and 71 jobs to Pasco County, according to the Web site recovery.gov.
Friday's event was held at J.L. Young Apartments, a Tampa public housing complex for senior citizens, where more than $4 million in stimulus money is being spent on renovations. The project created 14 jobs.
"We couldn't have done the things we're doing without those dollars," said Jerome Ryans, president and chief executive of the Tampa Housing Authority.
The housing agency has been awarded $62 million in stimulus money, including $38 million to begin work on a 28-acre community near downtown Tampa that will hold 667 affordable rental units, 600 market rate units as well as a grocery store, hotel and offices. Called Encore, it's on a site that once held a crumbling public housing complex.
"Improving our local housing market is one of the keys to our economic recovery," said U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor-D-Tampa.
But stimulus money also has helped teachers keep their jobs, funded research at the University of South Florida and Moffitt Cancer Center, and employed people at Tampa International Airport and the Tampa Port Authority, she said.
Ron Sims, deputy secretary of housing and urban development, said that the recovery act helped avoid a depression. In addition to creating jobs, it has extended unemployment benefits and kept police officers and firefighters working.
He talked about the diversity of the United States, and praised President Barack Obama for pushing the stimulus package to bring the country out of its economic slump.
"What the president has said is we're the world's grand experiment and we will not fail," he said. "We're going to be innovative, imaginative and determined."
Karen Jackson Sims, field officer director for HUD, encouraged everyone at the event, which included housing officials from Tampa, Lakeland and Sarasota, to promote the work happening in their areas because of stimulus funding.
"If you're not telling the story about what you're doing to improve the lives of the citizens of this country, no one's going to do it," she said.

Hey Guys,
Having a bit of trouble with this site I'm currently working on.
Everything on computers look fine but when I pull it up on my phone thebackground image of the slider-wrap is shifted to the left and doesnt cover up full to the right side of the screen same as the footer all the elements are in the right spot but the orange in the footer doesnt go right to the edge on the right side.
Here is the link...
The .row section is pretty wide fo a mobile, and you don't have widths set on other sections, like the footer.
What stands out more, though, is the 5.2 MB header image. That's disasterously large for the web—especially mobile. 200 KB is the biggest I would allow, so optimize it for the web with something like Photoshop.
Oooops I forgot to optimize that picture. Will need to do it. But any way I can fix the other issues I'm having with the image container and the footer, the rest of the site works correctly. Thanks.

Anthem to open CareMore centers in Henrico
By Elizabeth Ygartua, Special to the Citizen 08/08/12
Anthem will introduce four new healthcare centers - including two in Henrico - to the Metro Richmond market in January.
The CareMore care centers will open in the Brook Run Shopping Center in northern Henrico; near the intersection of Parham Road and Patterson Avenue; on Midlothian Turnpike near Robious Road; and on Jahnke Road near Chippenham Hospital.
The centers will only accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare patients.
CareMore innovated a successful Medicare advantage plan to provide coverage and care for about 54,000 people in California, Arizona and Nevada. In 2011, the California-based CareMore Health Group was bought by Anthem's parent company WellPoint, Inc.
"The key to understand is although we're a health plan, we're really a healthcare delivery system and that's why we're different," said Dr. Michael Neiderer, regional medical officer for CareMore. "We come in with an entire approach of how to take care of patients and a lot of the emphasis that it is on is health maintenance and spending on a more robust benefit to maintain health than to take care of people in the hospital."
CareMore care centers provide coordinated care plans for patients with multiple doctors and have specialized programs to help those with chronic conditions such as diabetes or congenital heart failure, said Linda Larue, general manager of CareMore for Virginia.
"There really is the care model in the concept of the team, how the team takes care of the patient, that really is so innovative and makes it so successful," she said. "We don't really have anything like that in Richmond."
She emphasized that the services provided by the centers are holistic but do not replace the primary care physician's role. CareMore's services also include mental health programs and more social services, such as seminars on phone usage or Nifty After Fifty, a fitness program.
"If you can imagine going to your primary care doctor, you know in the world we live in today you may get 10 or 15 minutes with your doctor and sometimes that's just not enough for this population of patients," she said. "Enrollees may see their primary care doctor couple times but they can come to the care clinic as often as they want."
The CareMore centers and model will have working relationships with the five HCA hospitals in the region, building on Anthem's previous partnerships with them, Larue said. There also will be a network of associated local physicians.
When new patients visit one of the CareMore centers, they will sit with a physician or physician's assistance to complete CareMore's Healthy Start medical history evaluation, Neiderer said. Staff members then will put patients with chronic or preexisting conditions into programs to help monitor their progress.
"That makes it that much easier for the primary care physician when they finally meet their new patients," he said. "We try to have that healthy start completed and that information to the primary care physician so that when they meet the patient they have that and it can save a lot of time and help them get to the patient more quickly."
The centers are now hiring, according to CareMore's official website, for offices in Brooklyn and Albany, N.Y. and the Richmond-area locations.
WellPoint and Anthem run Blue Cross Blue Shield in 14 states, with one in nine Americans receiving coverage from one of its affiliated plans, according to the WellPoint website.

Bracewell, who is currently Director of Cricket for English county side Gloucestershire, will start his new job in November and has agreed a three-year contract.
He was linked with the job of Sri Lanka coach earlier this year, but decided to stay loyal to his county.
But the lure of New Zealand, for whom he played 41 Tests and 53 one-day internationals, proved too tough to resist.
"I am honoured to have been appointed to this position," said Bracewell.
"It is only one step away from the honour of playing for your country.
Bracewell was quick to pay tribute to the Gloucestershire set-up.
"It has always been a stated ambition and understanding with the club that I wish to develop my skills to the point where I could coach to international level.
"I will always be grateful for the opportunity that Gloucestershire have given me to advance my skills.
"It has been an honour to work in the English County game."
Gloucestershire chief executive Tom Richardson said: "We are all extremely pleased for John and have every confidence that he will prove to be a successful international coach.
"However, we will be very sorry to see him go."
Lindsay Crocker replaces Jeff Crowe as New Zealand's new team manager.

Betsy Ross House
No visit to historic Philadelphia would be complete without a stop at the home of America's most famous flag-maker. The Betsy Ross House is located in the heart of Philadelphia's most historic square mile. Learn more
City Hall
The seat of government for the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At 548 feet (167 m ), including the statue, it is the world's second-tallest masonry building, only 1.6 feet shorter than Mole Antonelliana in Turin. The weight of the building is borne by granite and brick walls up to 22 feet (6.7 m) thick. Rather than steel, the principal exterior materials are limestone, granite, and marble. Stop by the visitors' center in the heart of City Hall for your chance to experience a tour and a bird's eye view of the city from the tower. Learn more
Franklin Court
Benjamin Franklin's house once stood in this courtyard. What is known of the house is that it was three stories high, had 10 rooms and covered 33 square feet. The house was built in 1812. Because no historical records of the look of the exterior exist, the space once occupied by the house is marked by a wonderful, oversized "Ghost Structure" designed by world-famous architect Robert Venturi and built in 1976 for the bicentennial. You can look through portals to see into Franklin's privy pits, wells, and foundation. An extremely rare Bristol punchbowl and other ceramic artifacts were found in the privy pit. Learn more
Independence Hall
Construction of the Pennsylvania State House, which came to be known as Independence Hall, began in 1732. It was a symbol of the nation to come. At the time it was the most ambitious public building in the 13 colonies. The provincial government paid for construction as they went along, so it was finished piecemeal. It wasn't until 1753, 21 years after the groundbreaking, before it was completed. It was the original "Philadelphia lawyer"—none other than Andrew Hamilton–who oversaw the planning and worked to guarantee its completion. Hamilton had won renown for his successful 1735 defense of Peter Zenger in New York that was to become a freedom-of-the-press landmark. Learn more
Liberty Bell Center
The old cracked Bell still proclaims Liberty and Independence Hall echoes the words, "We the People." Explore Ben Franklin's Philadelphia and learn about the past and America's continuing struggle to fulfill the Founders' Declaration that "all men are created equal." Learn more
Love Statue
LOVE is a sculpture by American artist Robert Indiana. It consists of the letters LO (with the O canted sideways) over the letters VE. Learn more
National Constitution Center
The National Constitution Center in historic Philadelphia is America's most interactive history museum. Located just two blocks from the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, it is the only museum devoted to the U.S. Constitution and the story of "We the People". This piece of American history is a must-see Philadelphia attraction. Learn more
Philadelphia Museum of Art and the "Rocky Steps"
Besides its architecture and collections, The Philadelphia Museum of Art is also well-known for its role in Rocky. Run up the Rocky Steps and recreate the movie's most memorable scene. Then visit one of the museum's featured exhibitions with masterpieces on loan from museums worldwide. Learn more
Philadelphia Zoo
The zoo is 42 acres (170,000 square meters) and is home to more than 1,300 animals, many of them rare and endangered. The zoo features a children's zoo, a balloon ride, a paddleboat lake and many interactive and educational exhibits. Learn more
Reading Terminal
Markets have been a part of Philadelphia's history since the city's development by William Penn in the late 17th century. When William Penn's managers established the town of Philadelphia, one of their first actions was to herd the ragtag crowd of farmers, fisherman, and huntsman, who were hawking their goods all over the bustling settlement, into an open area at the foot of what was known as High Street, along the Delaware River. By the middle of the 19th century, the string of market sheds had become six blocks long, making the eastern-most mile of the city's main street a veritable babble of farmers and food purveyors on most days. Today, Reading Terminal offers an exhilarating selection of baked goods, meats, poultry, seafood, produce, flowers, ethnic foods, cookware and eclectic restaurants. Learn more
Rodin Museum
The best-known of Rodin's works, The Thinker (1880-1882), sits outside the museum in the entry courtyard. Though no longer used, visitors once entered through a cast of The Gates of Hell, located at the entrance into the museum. This massive (just over 20 feet tall) bronze doorway was originally created for the Museum of Decorative Arts (which was to have been located in Paris but never came into existence). Rodin sculpted more than 100 figures for these doors from 1880 until his death in 1917. This casting is one of the three originals; several others have been made since. Several of his most famous works, including The Thinker, are actually studies for these doors which were later expanded into separate works. Learn more
Fairmount Park
The municipal park system of Philadelphia. It consists of 63 parks, with 9,200 acres, all overseen by the Fairmount Park Commission. Learn more
The Franklin Institute
Named after the noted American scientist and statesman Benjamin Franklin, the Institute is a museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and one of the oldest and premier centers of science education and development in the United States. The Institute itself comprises three centers—The Science Center, The Franklin Center, and The Center for Innovation in Science Learning. It also houses the Benjamin Franklin National Memorial. Learn more
United States Mint
The Mint was created by Congress with the Coinage Act of 1792, and placed within the Department of State. Per the terms of the Coinage Act, the first Mint building was located in Philadelphia, then the U.S. capital. It was the first building of the Republic raised under the Constitution. Learn more
Academy of Natural Sciences
Founded in 1812, this is the oldest continuously operating scientific research exhibit in the Western Hemisphere, featuring plenty of dinosaurs sure to delight fans of all ages. Learn more
African American Museum
This museum houses one of the most significant collections of African-American history and culture in Pennsylvania. Learn more
While similar in concept to the "Chinatowns" of many major U.S. cities, this ethnic enclave possesses a great deal of distinctly Philadelphian architecture and cultural character. Learn more
National Museum of Jewish History
Behind the striking glass façade that looks out across the Mall, the 100,000-square-foot museum offers three floors of core exhibition space. The core exhibition explores more than 350 years of American Jewish history through the use of evocative objects, telling moments and state-of-the-art interactive technologies. Explore more than 1,200 artifacts and documents as well as 2,500 images taken from the Museum's own collection, 30 original films and 13 state-of-the-art interactive media displays. Learn more
University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology
The University of Pennsylvania's treasure trove of ancient history is as much a resource for scholars as it is entertainment for visitors. Founded in 1887, the building houses some 32 exhibit galleries with more than one million objects, from mummies to Native American tools to Buddhist artifacts. On weekends and holidays, the museum holds workshops and demonstrations, children's events, lectures and cultural festivals in conjunction with its exhibits. Learn more
