The New Year means all of those resolutions that seem to last if you are lucky until the first day of spring. At the top of the list is exercising, losing weight and getting into shape and for a lot of people with that comes the cost of a gym membership or personal trainer or both. It does not have to be expensive and you don't have to leave your home, a new twist on the classic jump rope from CrossRope will have you melting the pounds with each jump.
Just a typical jump rope will give you a workout but as with any exercise if you don't change things up your body will adapt to the workout and the benefits will decrease over time. This is what separates CrossRope from any other jump rope, it allows you to change your workout and will make sure your body always has to adapt with your every changing workouts. CrossRope does this by giving you an assortment of jump ropes that range from a light and speed jump rope and works up to a very heavy and weighted jump rope that will really test every aspect of your endurance. You are not going to find anything else like CrossRope as it is a full patent pending modular jump rope system.
If you go to a gym and work on an exercise machine it is easy to change the weights, just pull a pin or if it is free weights just add or subtract weights and you change your workout. The CrossRope works very much the same way; you change your jump rope to change your workout. You can start off with a mid-weight rope such as the Stamina (blue) or Explode (red) and then work your way up to a heavy rope. There really is no way to prepare for the heavy rope, the first time you use it you will feel awkward and it will be challenging. But with any workout that is what makes it great, the challenge. Once you get used to it you will feel the all-around workout that you get from the heavy rope, it works the arm and shoulders and the fact that it is so different than any other jump rope it will work your balance and coordination as well. Simply put if you want a workout that will kick your butt, CrossRope is it. CrossRope does not leave you just jumping rope, they have a website that is loaded with exercise tips and videos that will make sure that you are getting the optimal workout.
Leave it to someone from the military to create a fitness product that actually works! Former Navy Pilot Dave Hunt was obsessed with self-improvement, mentally and physically and while he incorporated jumping rope as a small part of his training, he turned it into a major part of his workout during his deployments. Dave started looking for faster ropes, heavier ropes or a combination of both to challenge himself. The problem was he would break ropes, even the expensive ones that were supposed to be higher quality. This was when he decided he needed something better and with that came CrossRope.
If you have any doubt about what an amazing workout that CrossRope is you have to look no further than former boxing champion and celebrity trainer, Danny Musico. With his boxing background Danny knows more than a little about jumping rope for fitness and he was an immediate fan of CrossRope and recognized what the benefits of the workout that CrossRope can give you. Danny has trained such celebrities as; Justin Bieber, Jessica Simpson, Tobey McGuire and Leonardo DiCaprio. With a client list like his and a reputation for being a top trainer you can be certain that Danny is only going to use workouts that he know will get the job done.
If you want to get in shape in 2014, forget the gym, the videos and the rest of the gadgets. CrossRope makes your workout easy and convenient and you are not going to find many exercises that burn calories as quickly as the CrossRope workout. Make 2014 the year of no more excuses, just grab the CrossRope and start jumping, if you are on the road toss it in your suitcase, put it next to your bed and start your day with it, but whatever you do make sure you start jumping with CrossRope and you will find that new you in the New Year.

FDA revokes planned extralabel cephalosporin use ban
The Food and Drug Administration decided in late November against implementing a ban on extralabel cephalosporin antimicrobial use in food animals.
"The agency received many substantive comments on the order of prohibition, and therefore, in order for FDA to fully consider the comments, the agency has decided to revoke the order," a Nov. 25 FDA announcement states. "As a result, the order of prohibition will not take effect on November 30, 2008."
The AVMA spoke out against the final rule in late October through a letter to the FDA signed by Dr. Lyle P. Vogel, AVMA assistant executive vice president, for Dr. W. Ron DeHaven, AVMA CEO. The letter states, in part, that the FDA should delay the ban to assess the risks and benefits of using cephalosporin antimicrobials in an extralabel manner as well as the consequences of halting such use.
"The AVMA understands the Order of Prohibition is well-intended; however, it will not have the desired positive impact on human health," the letter states. "Moreover, we believe the Order is more likely to compromise our food safety system."
The FDA issued the order July 3 that would have, by Oct. 1, prohibited extralabel use of cephalosporin antimicrobial drugs in food-producing animals. The ban was intended to preserve antimicrobial effectiveness for treatment of disease in humans.
The FDA agreed in mid-August to extend the comment period to Nov. 1 and, as a result, implement the ban Nov. 30.
FDA spokeswoman Laura Alvey said in November that agency officials were reviewing comments and evaluating additional data to determine whether to revisit their conclusions.
The FDA could issue another order of prohibition after review, but not without another comment period, the FDA announcement states.
"If, after considering the comments and other relevant information, FDA decides to issue another order of prohibition addressing this matter, FDA will follow the procedures in 21 CFR 530.25 that provide for a public comment period prior to implementing the order," the agency states.
The AVMA letter cites a lack of scientific evidence indicating extralabel cephalosporin use in food animals presents a significant risk to humans, a lack of evidence that the ban would benefit human health, the potential for harmful unintended consequences to animals and humans, and a misinterpretation of federal regulations.
The letter notes that Congress authorized extralabel drug use in 1994 through the Animal Medicinal Drug Use Clarification Act. Because animal drug label indications are limited, such use is necessary to relieve pain and suffering of animals.
Extralabel use is an FDA-regulated activity that requires a veterinarian-client-patient relationship, and it is allowed only for therapeutic uses that do not present risks to public health, the letter states.
"Extralabel drug use plays a critical role in veterinary medicine because veterinarians have a relatively limited number of FDA-approved drugs for treatment of the numerous animal species, each with diverse disease conditions," the letter states. "Drug sponsors cannot reasonably be expected to generate labels for all conditions of all animals, though FDA approved labeled indications are very beneficial."
The AVMA was not alone in asking the FDA to reconsider the ban.
Arthur L. Craigmill, PhD, extension toxicology specialist, co-coordinator of the Western Region Minor Use Animal Drug Program, and co-director of the Food Animal Residue Avoidance Databank program at the University of California-Davis, wrote that FDA's cited evidence that the extralabel use of cephalosporin antibiotics has caused or will likely cause an adverse event has not been published in open literature but is inferred.
Dr. Craigmill said a sweeping ban would be especially harmful for minor species such as sheep and goats, for which there are few FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine-approved antibiotics available. A limited ban on extralabel use in a single species or production class could be implemented if widespread extralabel use in that species or class were problematic, as was done with a ban on sulfonamides in lactating dairy cattle.
The American Association of Swine Veterinarians delivered a response that warned the ban could have endangered public health. The letter sent to the FDA says very few antimicrobials are approved to treat conditions in swine, and the overarching ban would leave swine veterinarians with "one less critical category of antimicrobial products from which to choose when deciding how to effectively treat the animals for which they are responsible."
"It is our opinion that the broad ban enacted by FDA will not accomplish the goal of reducing multi-drug resistance in foodborne pathogens," the AASV letter says. "We encourage FDA to seriously consider the impact of this ban on animal health and welfare as well as the potential unintended consequences to food safety, public health and animal suffering."

Otero Mesa Targeted by Mining Industry
Hardrock mining considered the "highest and best use" for public lands regardless of impacts on watersheds, wildlife, landscapes or local communities
For nearly a decade, the Coalition for Otero Mesa has worked to safeguard the fragile grasslands, abundant wildlife, and freshwater resources of Otero Mesa from full-scale
oil and gas drilling. Now, a new and more volatile threat has emerged for America's
largest and wildest grassland – hardrock mining.
During the months of October and November 2010, over 50 new mining claims were
staked in the heart of the Otero Mesa region, by Geovic Mining Corp, based in Denver,
Colorado, and also majority owner of the largest cobalt-producing operation in the
world, based in Cameroon, Africa. The company is seeking to mine for cobalt nickel
magnesium, and has staked claim to a surface area equal to 2,178 football fields.
This type of hardrock mining operation could significantly alter the landscape and have
serious impacts on wildlife habitat, soil composition and underground aquifers in Otero
"Without the permanent protection that it deserves, Otero Mesa is always going to
be one drill bit, one mine shaft, or one spill away from being lost to us," said Nathan
Newcomer, Associate Director of the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance. "This new
threat of hardrock mining in Otero Mesa, underscores the urgency of providing
permanent protection for this wild and beautiful grassland."
Hardrock mining on public lands is governed today by the General Mining Act of 1872
– a law that has changed little since it was first signed by President Ulysses S. Grant to
encourage development of the West. Under this Civil War era statute, hardrock mining
is considered the "highest and best use" for public lands, regardless of the impact on
watersheds, wildlife, landscapes or local communities.
"Hardrock mining is a significant cause of water contamination across the West and
New Mexico," said State Senator Steve Fischmann. "In 1979, 94 million gallons of
radioactive, acidic mine tailings spilled into the Rio Puerco. Thirty years later, the
impacts of that spill still linger. At the very least we must protect habitat and minimize
pollution risks to the Salt Basin Aquifer from hardrock mining activities."
Otero Mesa is an ecologically rich area home to 1,000 native wildlife species, including
mule deer, mountain lion, black-tailed prairie dogs, golden and bald eagles, over 200
species of migratory songbirds, and boasts the state's healthiest and only genetically
pure herd of pronghorn antelope. Otero Mesa sits above the Salt Basin Aquifer, which
is suspected to be the largest, untapped, fresh water aquifer left in the state of New
Mexico. The area also has a long history of cultural use and significance, which
includes the estimated 20,000 petroglyphs on Alamo Mountain, historic ruins of the
Butterfield Overland Stagecoach, and numerous archeological sites.
Speaking on behalf of the Apache Advocates for Otero Mesa, Ted Rodriguez said, "To
us Apaches, Otero Mesa is sacred. It holds a very special place in our history and must
be treated as a Holy site, not a mining site. It deserves no less than national monument
status." Mr. Rodriguez is also the Headman of the Mescalero Apache Traditional Elders
Protection for Otero Mesa enjoys broad support locally and nationally. Former New
Mexico Governor Bill Richardson previously proposed a more than 600,000-acre
National Conservation Area and has called on the BLM to conduct a new inventory of
the area's wilderness potential. Resolutions of support have come from the cities of Las
Cruces and El Paso, Dona Ana County, and the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo Tribe. Permanent
protection has also been endorsed by former Lt. Governor Diane Denish, former State
Secretary of Energy, Minerals & Natural Resources Joanna Prukop, and many state
representatives, state senators, county commissioners, city councilors, archaeological
societies, religious leaders, and local residents. Furthermore, Governor Bill Richardson
asked the Obama administration to designate the area a national monument before
leaving office.
"Sportsmen and their families have a long legacy of using Otero Mesa and every acre
we lose to development, of any kind, robs us of passing on that legacy," said John
Cornell of the New Mexico Wildlife Federation. "The long term values of its cultural,
recreational, hunting, and ranching and water resources far outweigh any short term
benefits of mining."

About six months later, CC's body condition was much improved – the before and after pictures speak for themselves. Once CC was healthy and back in shape, I was able to put him back into work. He's now a wonderful part of my team of three horses that I rotate during bird dog field trials. He's a safe, smooth and well-mannered horse that I am proud to own, especially now that he looks so good! As the pictures show, CC is now in great condition, and a lot of the thanks go to SmartPak."

After months largely silent on the issue,Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is urging congressional leaders to stop higher flood insurance premiums from hitting homeowners and businesses.
Jindal sent a letter to the Republican and Democratic leaders of both the U.S. House and Senate, asking them to support an immediate delay in the increases set in motion by a 2012 revamp of the federal flood insurance program.
The Republican governor described the insurance rate hikes that were tied to the program overhaul as "irrational, not actuarial."
It was Jindal's first public and direct intervention to seek relief from the steep rate increases. Other state officials and business leaders have warned for months that soaring premiums could severely damage local economies.
About 480,000 Louisiana homes and businesses have federal flood insurance.

ROCHESTER — The Rochester School Board's ad hoc committee devoted to determining whether students should start school at a later time in the day report 60 percent of surveyed students prefer that option.
Board member Dan Harkinson, and chairman of the ad hoc committee, told the full school board Thursday night if the group goes forward with a recommendation to start school later, the schedule for students in grades 6 through 12 will be moved from 7:30 a.m. to 8 a.m. for starting classes while elementary school students will have to start at 9 a.m., to allow for the shift in bus scheduling. Harkinson said approximately one-third of surveyed students said they wished to start school at the 8 a.m. mark, while 40 percent of students noted they were comfortable keeping the start times as they currently are.
The ad hoc committee was formed last September to review the possibility of starting school later at the request of Harkinson, who set a March 1 deadline for the committee to provide a final recommendation on the subject to the school board. He cited current research which shows students do better academically when they have more sleep, they are biologically designed to go to bed later, and some students attending the secondary schools from Wakefield have pointed out they have to get up around 4 a.m. to catch the bus to Rochester.
If a later start times were approved, they would most likely go into effect at the start of the 2014 school year.
On Tuesday, the committee reviewed a survey taken by hundreds of students from Rochester Middle School and Spaulding High School. According to the results, a majority of students said they go to bed between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m., wake up between 5:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. and do not believe the amount of sleep they get every night "negatively impacts" their grades. Harkinson noted the middle school participation in the survey was close to 100 percent and the high school participation was "well above" 50 percent.
Harkinson said the next step in the committee process will involve issuing a survey to parents of students at all grade levels in the district so they have ample opportunity to provide their thoughts on the issue. He noted in the coming weeks, elementary school students will be surveyed as well.
As for hitting the March 1 deadline, Harkinson says he is planning to request an extension, to allow the committee time to process incoming data from future surveys.
He noted he has been pleased with the group's progress so far.
"We had a really good exchange (Tuesday night) …," Harkinson said. "The members of the committee, our student members, administrative members at various levels and Wakefield all weighed in and there wasn't unanimity but it was an exchange of ideas. There was an ultimate consensus we need to survey parents, and in that respect, I'm very pleased at the way it has gone."
The committee will next meet on Tuesday, Jan. 29 at 5 p.m. in the Rochester School Board meeting room in the Community Center, to finalize a draft of a survey for parents.

What is propionic acidemia?
Propionic acidemia is what we call an inborn error of metabolism. Our bodies use detailed blueprints (our genes) to guide the manufacture of the proteins and enzymes we need to carry out the processes of life. Errors in these genes can lead either to a lack of necessary proteins or to the accumulation of toxic substances.
Propionic acidemia is an error in protein metabolism. Every time we eat food that contains protein, our bodies use a series of enzymes to break those huge foreign protein molecules into small pieces. These then become the building blocks we reassemble to form the specific human proteins we need.
In people with propionic acidemia, there is an insufficient supply of one of these enzymes (propionyl coenzyme A [CoA] carboxylase). Without the propionyl CoA carboxylase, there is a bottleneck in protein processing. Propionic acid builds up in the blood. This is known to damage the lining of small blood vessels, allowing the propionic acid to leak into the brain and nerve tissues, where it alters behavior and development. Ammonia also accumulates in the blood. This too can damage the brain. Food that is meant to nourish becomes a poison.
Propionic acidemia is really more than one disease, depending on the extent of the enzyme deficiency. In some people, the defect is complete, with the early onset of severe symptoms. At the other end of the spectrum, one man had such a mild deficiency that he didn't develop symptoms until he was 31 years old!
In general, those with intermediate levels of enzyme deficiency have symptoms that come in separate attacks when levels of protein to be digested are out of balance with the amount of enzyme available. This might be caused by a high-protein diet's increasing the protein to be digested, or by stress or illness, decreasing enzyme production. Constipation can also trigger an attack because it increases dietary protein available for processing and because gut bacteria can produce additional propionic acid. These attacks can cause a rapid downward spiral in a child's condition because the vomiting child with poor appetite, desperate for calories, will begin to process his own protein for food, leading to increasing levels of acid.
Long-term treatment includes a low-protein diet (1.0-1.5 g/kg/24 hr). Synthetic proteins deficient in key amino acids (isoleucine, valine, threonine, and methionine) are used to increase the amount of dietary protein (to 1.5-2.0 g/kg/24 hr) while causing minimal change in propionic acid production. Still, natural proteins should comprise most (50-75%) of the dietary protein.
L-carnitine supplementation (50-100 mg/kg/24 hr orally) is also a part of long-term treatment. And thiamin deficiency has been shown to make propionic acidemia worse. Early vitamin supplementation is a good idea for these children-and especially when having an attack.
Close monitoring of blood pH, amino acids, urinary content of propionate and its metabolites, and growth curves is necessary to adjust the proper balance of the diet and ensure the success of therapy. Some patients may require chronic alkaline therapy to correct low-grade chronic acidosis. Also, children with propionic acidemia are especially prone to infections. Any infection should be treated promptly.
Long-term prognosis is guarded-especially in those who develop symptoms in the first week of life. Seizures occur in about 30% of affected infants. Survival has been improving dramatically in recent years, but death may still occur during an acute attack. Normal development is possible, but most children do have some degree of permanent developmental deficit.

It is my hope that through this blog someone at some point actually learns something.
I know it's not likely, but hope is all I've got.
Many times, I know the advice I'm giving is directed squarely at me.
So lets hope today, someone learns something.
This is my plan.
Technology is great.
It's also suffocating.
When you are a new principal or superintendent, you are constantly told to communicate, be active in the community, be seen at school, and respond to questions and concerns as quickly as possible.
In this day and age, you can literally be "at" work 24 hours a day.
You can receive and send messages/information all day, every day.
You can check your email while eating, mowing, walking, and seconds before you fall asleep or within moments of waking up.
It's great.
And it can literally suck the life out of you (I apologize for the language, but sometimes it's nice to work blue).
That's why I have this new plan.
No technology.
At least one day a week. Or more likely, at least part of one day during the week.
I'm thinking Sundays may work best for me.
No emails. No blogs. No Facebook. No Twitter. No phone calls.
No school.
I'm going underground. Off the radar. Incognito.
Surely these same school buildings that have been standing for 100 years will survive one more day if I turn off my phone.

No felicitation can match Sachin's achievements, says B-Town
Sachin Tendulkar, who will be conferred the Bharat Ratna, has Bollywood celebrities rooting for him. But they feel that no honour will ever match what the master blaster has achieved in his 24-year-long career.india Updated: Feb 04, 2014 15:42 IST
Sachin Tendulkar, who will be conferred the Bharat Ratna by President Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtrapati Bhavan on February 4 has Bollywood celebrities like Dia Mirza, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh rooting for him. But they feel that no honour will ever match what the master blaster has achieved in his 24-year-long career.
The 40-year-old cricketer retired from international cricket Nov 16 last year.
Here is what B-town has to say:
Dia Mirza: There are some people, who, no matter how many awards they are given, give you the impression that they deserve more. Of course it is fantastic that he is being conferred the Bharat Ratna. But we have always known that Sachin Tendulkar is Bharat's (India) Ratna. Every cricket fan, every Sachin fan is going to be ecstatic and thrilled for him.
Deepika Padukone: He deserves it. He deserves every sort of appreciation that anybody can get. But I think more than anything he is a brand, he is a legend. No matter how many times you felicitate him or the biggest honour that you give him, I don't think anything will sort of live up to what he has achieved for himself.
Ranveer Singh: I feel some other award must be invented for him, he is such a legend.
Juhi Chawla: He has made millions of his fans proud. For years, he has been playing consistently. He is an icon and an inspiration for all. He deserves it. I am very happy for him.
Javed Akhtar: He deserves it.
Sonakshi Sinha: He (Sachin Tendulkar) deserves it. I am really glad.

To add a little oomph to business these days, LO's are turning away from the residential realm and focusing their efforts on potentially bigger fish – the commercial arena. Find out the differences between the two markets – from documentation to financing – and why you should line up to tap these unchartered waters. As a bonus, a commercial originator in action shares his words of warning before stepping into bigger territory.
With the subprime fallout, amped up regulation and a slowing residential market, many originators are feeling the squeeze of increased competition and fewer deals.
"Many brokers are making the transition into small commercial lending as a way to serve their existing clients better, and to branch out into a growing market," said Reed Larsen, vice president of Homeland Mortgage Inc. and Homeland Funding Corp. "Many mortgage brokers have worked hard to build good relationships with their clients over the years, particularly with small business owners and self-employed borrowers who need the kind of expertise and the level of service that good brokers provide. These entrepreneurial clients often ask their brokers about commercial loans, and brokers would rather close those loans than send their hard-earned clients down the road to a competitor."
What's the difference?
While both residential and commercial brokers seek to find loan deals for individuals buying property, the methods to get these loans are very different.
According to Kristin Williams, of Silver Hill Financial LLC, residential deals all require the same forms.
"It's very standardized," she said. "1003, 1008, VOD, VOE, etc. But in commercial, each company has their own separate set of documents they require." In commercial, the deals are all non-standardized and individualized.
Finding value
When it comes to finding comparable in the residential realm, Williams said it is usually easy and quick.
"Traditionally, residential properties are very cookie cutter so you can get several appraisals done very quickly — because there are so many comparable properties out there," she said. "In commercial, buildings are extremely unique. Appraisal time takes much longer because it's harder to find similar property types."
This can lead to more complex, more thorough appraisals — up to 100 pages long — which can take up to four weeks and cost between $1,500 and $4,000.
Calculating loan amounts
According to Williams, residential loans consider extensive loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, sometimes 100 to 115 percent.
However, in commercial, "traditionally, LTVs are very limited just because of the riskiness of the transaction," she said. "They offer lower LTVs to lower their risk. About 75 percent, sometimes 80 percent is the highest LTV for commercial."
Also, residential originators consider a borrower's debt-to-income (DTI) ratio by assessing the individual's personal income. In a commercial transaction, however, a debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) is assessed, which considers how much a property or business occupying the space must have to cover its debt.
What can be financed?
While every financial institution is different, many consider the following to be eligible property types for funding: Multifamily, mixed-use, office, retail, self-storage, light industrial, bed and breakfast, warehouse, mobile home park, industrial, funeral home, flagged hospitality, rooming house, health care, day care, RV park, unflagged hospitality, restaurant, and gas stations.
In Silver Hill's case, the following are considered ineligible properties and it would not provide funding: traditional churches, raw land and farms, construction, development, rehab and adult entertainment facilities.
It is best to ask your lender before continuing with the transaction.
How does financing work?
While traditionally, residential brokers can obtain funding with a local lender, LOs need to do a little investigative work to find the best deals for their client. What financing sources are available to commercial brokers?
"Traditional banks and credit unions are great at offering loans at very competitive rates for your higher-credit-score client," Williams said. "However, they do have some specific guidelines of the types of properties and the loam amounts. Lots of times, the riskier the property type, the less opportunity you have at a traditional bank."
Banks also charge a large good faith fee before the loan is even processed, sometimes upwards of $5,000.
SBA loans
SBA loans are multi-faceted if someone wants to pay for the building, business or equipment all in one. It is also good as a standard business loan to provide funding for disaster relief. However, SBA loans take a lot of time — up to 3 months — to finish and requires a lot of documentation.
Private/hard money lenders
Private/hard money lenders are the last-stop shop that is great for high-credit-risk clients, Williams said. They are also bankruptcy or foreclosure friendly.
"They get the loan done quickly," Williams said. "However, the loan terms are the least favorable with extremely high interest rates — upwards of 15 percent — and the loan balance will come due at a very short period of time."
There is also a lock-out period that freezes the client from refinancing.
Small-balance commercial lenders
"The credit requirements are a little more acceptable (with a small-balance commercial lender)," Williams said. "They will provide your clients more options and get your loans done quicker."
Williams did say, however, that all small-balance commercial lenders have their own set of requirements and procedures and it is important to research them and educate the client before going forward.
Buddying up
Finding a good commercial lender may be easier than originators think, as many are reaching out to brokers — teaching them how to make the residential-to-commercial change and establishing referral relationships.
"As small business in America continues to expand, commercial lenders are reaching out to educate and train mortgage brokers on how to originate commercial loans both as a way to build a viable sales channel into the small commercial market, and as a way to leverage the good relationships brokers have already built with their entrepreneurial clients," Larsen said. "Lenders are making it easier for brokers to make the transition, by simplifying the application requirements, providing classes, distributing marketing materials and program information, and coaching brokers through the commercial loan process from start to finish."
Benefits of going commercial
"(Commercial) is the ideal arena for accommodating the skills and experiences of residential mortgage brokers," said Joe Mardesich, president and CEO of Nationwide Commercial Funding, a national mortgage brokerage. "There are numerous advantages for being in the commercial mortgage business."
Less sensitive to interest rates
The residential loan business is highly sensitive to interest rates, Mardesich said. The higher the rates, the lower will be the number of homeowners who refinance, take out equity loans or consolidate debt. And though the purchase loan business is still available, it may eventually slow if rates rise to a point where fewer people will be able to qualify as home purchasers.
In the commercial mortgage sector, however, rising rates do not have the considerable negative impact that exists in the residential mortgage sector.
"First, most commercial mortgages have balloon payments," Mardesich said. "Most commercial borrowers have no choice but to refinance or to sell, regardless of where rates may be, every 5 to 10 years. Both selling and refinancing result in new loans, which of course. mean income for the commercial broker.
"Second, commercial real estate owners and investors make their money by buying, selling, exchanging, developing and refinancing. They don't stop doing deals as rates move up or down. They find ways to have increased interest costs covered by their tenants or other end-users of their properties. Homeowners, by contrast, want to buy a place in which to live and must factor interest costs into their budgets. If interest rates put homeownership out of their reach, they will remain renters, tenants of those who utilize commercial mortgages.
"Third, as indicated above, rising rates can actually increase rental demand and revenue for the owners of apartments, mobile home parks, and certain other types of properties. The beneficiary is not only the owner, the developer of apartments, and the developer/owner of mobile home parks, but also the mortgage brokers who help to finance those properties."
Growing competition in the residential mortgage business
According to Mardesich, more and more real estate agents are competing with mortgage brokers.
"The numbers increase daily," he said. "With the Internet, people can shop online and have 5 or 6 lenders or brokers competing for their business with a mouse click. The loan products you and your competitors sell are all the same, because the secondary market is so consolidated in the residential industry. The residential mortgage business has become a frantic 'commodity' business, providing revenue to the lowest bidder."
In the commercial mortgage business, however, the lowest bidder is not necessarily king. There is much less competition than in residential real estate. And there are many portfolio lenders who do not sell their loans to a consolidated secondary market, i.e. there are a great variety of available programs from one lender or broker to another. As a result, by specializing and developing a niche, you can develop a meaningful competitive edge, Mardesich said.
Less regulation in commercial
The residential industry is chock full of rules and regulations.
However, in the commercial mortgage business, you don't have to worry about the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. There are no Good Faith Estimates. No TILAs. You can pay referral fees to anyone, regardless of the service they may perform. Yield spreads are generally not disclosed. Most states do not require any licensing for commercial mortgage brokers, Mardesich said.
The rewards of commercial
The rewards of the commercial mortgage business can be substantial, impacting income and lifestyle. Yet, comparatively few residential brokers are reaping the rewards that await them in the field of commercial mortgages.
According to Williams, commercial brokers who close with Silver Hill average a commission of $10,400, compared to the $3,000-$8,000 with a residential loan.
"Brokers know that the market is strong and growing," Larsen said. "They see commercial lending as a great way to serve their existing clients better, provide a more complete array of lending products to new customers, and continue to grow despite the recent woes of the residential lending market. It has never been easier for a good residential loan broker to step up to commercial lending.

AA Cars works closely with thousands of UK used car dealers to bring you one of the largest selections of Nissan Note cars on the market. You can also browse Nissan dealers to find a second hand car close to you today. All used Nissan Note on the AA Cars website come with free 12 months breakdown cover.
This spacious and responsive mini-MPV has been on sale in Europe since 2006 and in two generations, the first between 2006 and 2012 and the second between July 2012 and the current day. Those looking to support the domestic manufacturing base should consider its UK production credentials. Even at its most standard, the original Note has an impressive array of trim, the 'S' offers electric windows and door mirrors, CD, remote locking, alloys and front fogs and Flexi-Board boot system. Upgrade to the SE and you'll get eye-catching 15" alloys and AC. Spend a little more and the SVE adds the comfort of climate control, privacy of tinted rear windows, 16" alloys and ESP. Alongside that responsive steering, there's low emissions and competitive fuel economy across all three engines -1.4 and 1.6 petrol, and 1.5 diesel. All three are on offer with five speed manual or four speed auto gearboxes. The second generation Note was launched very recently and arrives with two equally cost-effective engine types, both 1.2, and three new trims Visia, Acenta and Tekna.
First launched in the UK in 2006, the Note has been lauded by both customers and critics for its practicality and its fun. A feat made all the more impressive considering its size.Little bigger than a supermini, the Nissan Note packs in a surprising amount of space into its small frame, and along with good running costs and a smooth, mature drive, it is no surprise that it remains popular as a solid family car.
A later entry into the mini-MPV market than many of its rivals, the Nissan Note is a spacious, practical family car which manages to be both sizeable on the inside and compact on the outside.
The exterior of the Note shares more in common with a supermini than it does a people carrier. Spacewise however, it offers far more. Only slightly longer than a Peugeot 207, what gives it more room is a raised roofline, which opens up the cabin. While this may arguably give the Note a somewhat boxier exterior design, inside it opens up a surprising amount of space.
Boot size as standard stands at 437 litres when the removable floor panels are taken out, but this can be almost tripled in size with the rear seats folded down. Passenger space is also good and the rear bench seats are designed to slide back and forth to offer either more or less legroom. Considering its size, the interior space the Note offers makes it one of the roomiest cars in its class.
But aside from being spacious and a good, stable family car, the Note has a fair bit of life in its drive. While the more straightforward superminis might have a bit more get up and go, the Note packs a fair punch despite being slightly bigger.
The 1.5, 88bhp dCi diesel satisfies the top end of the power scale, offering 148lb of torque from 1750rpm, while the smaller 1.4 petrol engine manages 0-60mph in 12.9 seconds. So too does the ride and handling impress. Surprisingly calm on less maintained roads, the Note fares well on the twistier, tricky roads, offering a ride that is fun as well as mature and comfortable.
Efficiency is good on the Note, and while no model offers CO2 emissions under the 100g/km mark, insurance is reasonable and engine economy is good. The 1.4 petrol returns around 50pmg, which might not make it a market leader, but does make it a very economical car to run considering its space and performance offerings.
The Nissan Note was first released in the UK in 2006 and since then has proved popular as a practical, fun family car.
With just a few different model Notes on the market, choosing the right one for you shouldn't be too hard. Here are the main variations and their key features.
16" alloy wheels, 9 litre glove box, ABS with EBD and brake assist, automatic headlights, automatic climate control air conditioning, cruise control, driver, passenger, side and curtain airbags, front electric windows, ESP, front fog lamps, ISOFIX childseat points, integrated drive computer, radio/CD player with MP3 and Bluetooth capabilities, speed limiter.

As part of the NFL Big Data Bowl in late 2018, I created a presentation that discusses how I explored game data to uncover insights on how NFL player speed can lead to NFL success. The results weren't always what I expected them to be!
In this episode, I discuss and show a few examples of the beautiful, precise, and functional Bridge City woodworking tools.
This is the story of how I created my first woodworking project. This story goes way back to the mid-1960's. I wonder if I owe my love of woodworking to my first mentor.
In Episode 20 of the Kenny Cool series, I give thanks to my Aunt Birdie who taught me a sure-fire hiccup cure. It has never failed me and now you can give her thanks the next time you have a case of the hiccups.
In KC Special Episode #2, I revisit a decision I made to bypass a job offer from Microsoft, back in the 1988. I sometimes wonder how different my life history would be had I taken that job, although I would still make the same decision today knowing how my life has unfolded!

In the first Kenny Cool special edition video, I thank Tableau for choosing me to be a 2019 Zen Master. I explain some behind the scenes attempts I made to work for Tableau. Even though I was never hired, I continued to pursue my Tableau passions ,and now I am a bit of a Tableau historian.
In Kenny Cool Episode #4, I discuss the various methods available for using the Data Blends Blog.
In Kenny Cool episode #3, I discuss a really cool antique desk that features an internal locking system.
In Kenny Cool episode #2, I discuss how much fun I recently had working with real NFL data as part of a competition.
This is episode #1 of a new series of short videos I plan to make. I want to convey some interesting stories. I only plan on these being 5 minutes or less.
It is believed that my friend Al is the oldest functioning woodworker in the USA. I'd like to introduce you to him and show you some of his amazing work.
As I look back on my geological and environmental science career, there were a few stories that have stuck with me. In this article, I share three stories that left imprints in my mind.
I have been a student of the earth and life on earth throughout my life. Never before have I listened to someone with such immense intelligence and insight that has the ability to take complicated topics and explain them with such clarity that I could have my 7-year-old listen to him speak. Many thanks to Rich Roll for his continued excellence in podcasting and teaching us about the status of life on earth.
Preeclampsia (pre-e-CLAMP-si-a) is a condition unique to human pregnancy. It is diagnosed by the elevation of the expectant mother's blood pressure usually after the 20th week of pregnancy. In this story, we used data collection and visualization to help our doctor make the right choices for my wife during our high-risk pregnancy.
Contrary to the "Agony of an Eduction", this article expresses the joy of an education. The joy comes from first learning to use Tableau.
Ten years of happiness data is what I used to find something interesting. I didn't plan on writing this article, but an anomaly I detected really made me think about the significance of this data.

Legionary Father Luis Garza was appointed director of the Legion of Christ's newly combined North American territory July 15. He had served as the congregation's vicar general, No. 2 in the congregation's hierarchy under the general director and founder Father Marcial Maciel from 1992-2005 and Father Alvaro Corcuera from 2005-2011.
Born in Monterrey, Mexico, Father Garza attended the Legion's primary and secondary schools in Mexico before earning an undergraduate degree in engineering at Stanford University. In Rome, he received licenciates in theology and philosophy and a doctorate in canon law.
Father Garza will oversee the newly combined Atlanta and Thornwood, N.Y., territories into one North American territory. He remains a consultor to the Vatican's Congregation for the Clergy; he was appointed to that five-year position by Pope Benedict XVI in 2008.
In his role with the once pre-eminent congregation that now faces demands for radical reform in the wake of revelations that for decades Father Maciel led a double life, Father Garza has managed the considerable logistical and personnel challenges generated by the scandal's impact on the Legion and Regnum Christi.
Throughout the years since the scandal broke, Father Garza and other members of the congregation have been accused of ignoring credible allegations against the founder, while demonizing the victims who came forward over the years.
In a July 19 interview with Register senior editor Joan Frawley Desmond, Father Garza offers a startling portrait of his relationship with Father Maciel. The granting of this interview reflects Legionary efforts to increase transparency but it will likely raise more questions than it resolves. For example, Father Garza says that he didn't question the founder's innocence until almost the very end. Also troubling is Father Garza's revelation that as yet, there has been no investigation to determine who may have known about and thereby been at minimum complicit with Father Maciel in his double life.
When, precisely, did you know about Father Marcial Maciel's record of sexual abuse?
There had been accusations in the press since the 1990s. The Holy See issued a communiqué in May 2006 that was more shocking. In fact, a month before, the Holy See communicated to us that the founder was found guilty of the charges against him. I didn't believe that, I am sorry to say.
In June 2006, there was the appearance of a lady with whom Father [Maciel] had a child. At that time, I decided to do an investigation of my own, and by September of that year, I was sure he had fathered a child. Little by little, more evidence came in. By 2008, we had most of the picture.
Some have called for your resignation. Have you offered it?
After the 2005 general chapter [assembly of all members of the congregation], when Father Alvaro Corcuera took Father Maciel's place, I told him that I was thinking about resigning. Given Father Maciel's issues, we decided it would be better for me to stay on. Again, in 2009, I presented a letter of resignation to Father Alvaro, and he asked me not to resign during the ongoing investigation and visitation.
When Cardinal [Velasio] De Paolis was appointed the papal delegate, I offered to resign, but he asked me to stay on and help. I told him, "I'm ready whenever you want me to leave my post." A month ago, the idea about moving to the U.S. came up, and I agreed to go.
Shouldn't you have known about Father Maciel's crimes and double life? It's hard to understand how you and other leaders completely missed or ignored the inevitable red flags.
What you cannot understand is that I never really dealt in a personal manner with Father Maciel. I just went in every two weeks to do my job — to present issues to him. Then I would leave. I never knew where he went. He never allowed anyone to enter his life. I didn't even have his cell phone number.
I was 40 years younger. He was the founder. He didn't allow me to go into his personal life. He would tell those working more closely with him, "Don't tell anyone what you do with me."
I visited the motherhouse of the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, when Mother Teresa was still alive. She prayed with all the sisters in the chapel, and she would be the last to get up from her knees after Mass. That is normal behavior for a founder. Father Maciel's behavior is not normal. Critics would call the inability to act on such puzzling behavior a form of blind faith.
After years and years of revering the founder, and the Holy See praising him, we accepted it.
What are some key changes in the Legion's religious formation that are designed to transform the environment that enabled the founder's behavior?
Liberty of conscience: the capacity to be healthily critical of what you see and hear. The Holy See asked us to abolish the private vow of not criticizing superiors. Members no longer go to confession with superiors.
What are your most urgent priorities as the new director of the Legion's U.S. territory?
My first priority is meeting and working with Legionaries and members of Regnum Christi. We need to rekindle enthusiasm so that we can serve the Church in the task of the New Evangelization. They are our treasure. I need to see how they are doing and help them develop their personal holiness.
In the past, we were in a growing-and-developing period, moving into new territories and countries. We were enthusiastic, doing a lot of work for the Church, and we were happy about it. We were part of a big tide of New Evangelization.
But now, following the revelations about our founder, we have come to a new level of self-understanding and analysis, leading to a realistic and humble understanding that sees our efforts not as the work of man, but of God.
It's good to grow, but our spirit needs to be different and more focused on Christ. This period of reflection can be seen as a "low point," but it's also a high point, because it will help purify our efforts.
Given your long history in the Legion leadership, how do you plan to repair the order's credibility — and your own — with the U.S. bishops?
Credibility is something you earn. I hope to beg their patience. We want to do things in a manner that will allow them to give us advice and feedback to correct our ways.
New protocols have already been adopted. Now, the papal delegate is directing our efforts and the analysis of our institutional life. Any future problems that arise will be addressed with his assistance.
Why are there no Americans on the three international commissions dealing with the congregation?
I don't know, to be very frank. The members were picked by Cardinal Velasio De Paolis, the papal delegate. Father [Anthony] Bannon is a member of one commission, and while he was born in Ireland, he knows the American mentality and created much of the development and growth in the U.S.
The commission dealing with victims is composed of Mexicans and Spaniards because the victims were from those countries.
In Rome, at the Center for Higher Studies, our major seminary, two of the three directors of the seminary are Americans, Father Joseph Burtka and Father Timothy Mulcahey,
The general counsel of the Legion [an advisory board with additional responsibility to set policy] is composed of four people from Spain, Mexico, Ireland and America. The cardinal appointed two more members of the counsel from Spain.
What is the charism of the Legion of Christ?
We have a deep, Christ-centered spirituality, enthusiastic, directed to families and youth. We live a liturgy that is traditional and joyful. We have a disciplined life — more like monks more than normal priests. We have a deeply rooted community life. That is all part of the patrimony.
From an apostolic point of view: We are here in the Church today to form lay apostles to put them at the service of the Church as real apostles of the New Evangelization, with the goal of confronting secular culture. We do education, youth and family activity, always with the idea of promoting lay leadership.
We have dismantled everything to analyze it better and see if it's good and worthy as we move forward. In 2010, the Holy Father said we need to rediscover how to put our work at the service of Christ. Most Legionaries give a lot of value to this.
You once vowed, "If it turns out that anyone culpably cooperated in [Father Maciel's] misdeeds, we will act according to the principles of Christian justice and charity, holding these people responsible for their actions." Has anyone been held responsible? Are any investigations pending at this point?
The internal investigation — as far as establishing the actual responsibility of individuals other than the founder — has not taken place yet. From the press, there have been generic accusations, but there haven't been formal accusations.
The papal delegate is still thinking about this. He is a jurist and canon lawyer, and from a legal point of view, he needs a credible accusation to begin an investigation.
The cardinal may be waiting for a better time to do it. We have spoken with him about it, both personally and publicly — in meetings of the general counsel. If this is not clarified, the Legion's credibility will be at stake.
Register senior editor Joan Frawley Desmond writes from Chevy Chase, Maryland.

milbat necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 107 diseños de 23 diseñadores freelance.
Military Battery Systems, Inc. http://www.milbatteries.com
We are a small, dynamic company that is a manufacturer rep agency.
For our clients (the product manufacturers) we their handle marketing, product sales, and engineering support to the military market place.
Primary products include:
• Advanced batteries for military vehicles & miscellaneous equipment (boats, generators, and many other things).
• Revolutionary technology for servicing batteries (recovering dead batteries, making them last longer, etc)
• Power management accessories for vehicles
Product Traits: Our products are known for being more robust and better able to operate in harsh environments. For our vehicle batteries we used to give demonstrations where we would shoot the battery with a rifle, then install it in a vehicle and start the engine (something a conventional battery could never survive). They cost more but save the customer money in the long run via longer life & less maintenance.
We are based out of the beautiful mountains of Colorado (jeez, some days it's hard to stay inside the office) but we also travel throughout the country providing support to our customers.
The end customers are the product users within the US Military. They are typically the mechanics and equipment managers; the people responsible for keeping the equipment in top working order in dangerous operating conditions.
We also sell products to companies who build equipment for the military. These include many of the big name defense contractors (Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed, etc)
Our current logo is functional but boring. The design is based on the electrical schematic symbol for a battery. Engineers understand this but many customers who are not engineers don't see the relevance.
The long, short height can be hard to use in some applications. One possibility here would be to use a shortened version of our name such as "Mil Batteries"
The new logo will be used on an upcoming redesign of our website, http://www.milbatteries.com/
As well as literature, company apparel, stationary, business cards, and trade show booth graphics. Some of these will have different color backgrounds (i.e. white paper or a dark blue shirt)

I'm liking either 1 or 3. We have too many good courses not to use at least 3 of them.
I think # 3 would be good. The first two rounds could be at one course, with the final two rounds at separate courses, thus "equalizing" the field going into the final rounds.

Tutorial on 3D Point Cloud Processing: PCL (Point Cloud Library)
July 1, 2011 @ USC in Los Angeles, California (full day)
In conjunction with RSS (Robotics: Science and Systems) 2011
Tutorial Description
With the advent of new, low-cost hardware such as OpenNI compatible cameras and continued efforts in advanced open source 3D point cloud processing, 3D perception gains more and more importance in robotics, as well as other fields. The workshop attempts to motivate new developers and ideas to delve into this subject by offering a tutorial on point cloud processing using the emerging Point Cloud Library (PCL), which presents an advanced and extensive approach to the subject, as well as providing an overview of existing systems applying these techniques. Our goal is to provide an excellent reference material for students and researchers interested in this subject and take our guests through a complete application demonstration (given live) that combines subjects such as filtering, feature estimation, segmentation, registration, object recognition and finally surface reconstruction. The tutorial will be held using OpenNI compatible sensors, so we encourage the audience to bring theirs so we can follow all the steps together. We're assembling a great list of invited speakers that will talk about the usage of PCL in their work and show impressive demos.

Runway, your way: How to wear the goth look – again
Wonder how to work catwalk cool into your own closet? Here's how to translate the trends for real life.
Cue up the Smiths CD, fire up that old "The Craft" DVD and grab your black lipstick. Yes, the goth look is back.
Designers (think Vera Wang, BCBG, Emporio Armani and Erdem, among others) got into darker side of fashion during their fall/winter 2014-15 runway collections, showing all-black looks that were both chic and edgy.
Of course, you may want to steer clear of pairing a severe dark outfit with super-pale skin and black lipstick at the office, but we think these styles are sophisticated, cool and not the least bit witchy.
THE RUNWAY: the Herve Leger by Max Azria, fall 2014
A structured, feathered black jacket, matching skirt and seriously fierce open-toe, over-the-knee boots make this black ensemble stand out in a crowd.
Dark dresses: Give your LBD a dose of vampire with a goth-inspired gown with interesting details—think chains, sheer or black lace.
River Island chain embellished maxi dress, $85.28, asos.com; Forever 21 cutout floral lace dress, $27.90, forever21.com; Marc by Marc Jacobs Jayden sheer-underlay suspender-strap dress, $199.20, saksfifthavenue.com
Back in black (blouses): A goth-style blouse with dark lace, sheer sleeves and embellishments like tassels and leather will lift your usual black top and pants combo to new heights.
Nina Ricci blouse, on sale for $315, shopbop.com; Max Studio blouse, $78 on sale, maxstudio.com; H&M beaded top, $34.95, hm.com
Get in accessories (Depeche) mode: Just one or two fab pieces of Gothic jewelry will turn your basic black into goth greatness.
Max & Chloe Angel Court gothic trio bangle set, on sale for $74, maxandchloe.com; Max & Chloe Ettika gothic rosary necklace, $50, maxandchloe.com; Robert Rose faux leather earrings, $22, Nordstrom.com
