My wife, 2 year old and myself stayed here in Feb 09. The owners are very helpful and really nice honest people. The apartment is warm, clean, has magnificant views and a very welcoming place to stay. It was excellent value for money. The ski lift is a 5-7 min walk down the hill towards the village or there is an hourly bus service from 8:30 to approx 17:30. We would highly recommend this if you want a tranquil location but within easy reach of the village. We walked to and from the apartment for the first few days but took the bus if he had shopping to carry. We hope to visit again summer or winter and would definately stay in the same apartment. Also, our child took ill during our stay and the medical centre in the village was excellent - far better than the NHS!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children, tourists without a car, adventure seekers.

Very quiet and peaceful,near free circular bus stop(Le Fountaine) can catch it from Fedey station. The trains to Aigle run hourly and connect with this bus for most of the day.We only used a taxi on arrival when we were not sure where the chalet was. The chalet has amazing views from the front over the valley to as far as Mont Blanc and Les Diablarets.Even when the rain clouds rolled in it was still lovely - oh- the smell of fresh air. Chalet is very well equipped,spotlessly clean and comfortable.It is veryy traditional and we could not work out why the chalet only sleeps 3 and seats 6 but has enough crockery and cutlery to feed the 5000! There is enough to ensure you only have to run the dishwasher once every few days.Watch out as they provide bedlinen but not towels.Ralph speaks reasonable English and his wife some French, we got by though. The village is about 20 mins walk away and there are about 5 restaurants to choose from. Also a couple of supermarkets and gift shops . There are great walks from your doorstep,also can get the chair lift and walk from there.The mountain huts were mostly open when we were there(Sept) ,If the weather is nice you can see Lake Geneva from the top. We took the train to Montreux and went to Chateau Chillon which was beautiful. We just loved everything about the place and were quite sad to leave after the week was up.Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, tourists without a car, adventure seekers.

Die Ferienwohnung BARSE im Chalet LES SILENES können wir weiterempfehlen: Sie ist sehr geräumig, bestens ausgestattet und ermöglicht einen freien Ausblick auf die umliegenden Berge. Wanderungen sind gleich vom Haus aus möglich, der Genfer See ist in ca. 30 Autominuten erreichbar. Die Vermieter sprechen beide deutsch und geben hilfreiche (Ausflugs-)Tipps.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car.

The chance to play for Trotz, the only coach the Predators have had since entering the NHL in 1998, was a factor in Lombardi's decision to come to Nashville after helping the Phoenix Coyotes to the fourth-best record in the NHL in 2009-10.
"I had Barry at the World Championships two years ago when he was an assistant coach for Team Canada," Lombardi told reporters during a conference call on Friday night. "That was part of the decision. I knew what kind of a person he was. I talked to him on the phone (during negotiations) and we had a good conversation. I've played with guys who've played for him and have said great things. You really want to go somewhere where the coach is respected and the guys like him."
"I talked with Barry about the guys and my role on the team and I thought it was the best fit for me. They've got a great core of guys and a really good young group coming up. I'm excited about the opportunity I have to come and help this team."

When I officially started Vashtie.Com in 2008, I was amazed at the like-minded people from around the world who followed and truly supported me. I wouldn't say fans, but maybe friends…that I hadn't met yet. For example, this babe here @bdenisegoldchain. She is an amazing artist and has been apart of my growth for the past 5 years via social media, constantly leaving positive comments and making art just for me (like my famous 2012 birthday card featuring #zookid). I finally got the chance to meet her yesterday while I was working in LA and I was ecstatic! I rag on the Internet a lot, but without it she (and others) wouldn't have found me and I wouldn't have met her. Thanks Internet, you rule but you still suck 😒. #ladyboy #tomboy
I first wore this @Kenzo coat to the the Kenzo Show during Paris Fashion Week in Spring 2013. I totally slept on getting it then, but thanks to @LaGarconne_Diary I found and copped it!

The New York Stock Exchange reported yesterday that the Big Board's ''short interest'' position - the number of shares sold short and not yet covered - in the month ended Dec. 15 rose by 29.1 million shares, or 6.3 percent, to 494.6 million shares.
In a short sale, an investor, betting that a stock price will decline, sells borrowed stock in anticipation of buying it back later at a lower price.
In the previous month, which ended Nov. 13, the short interest figure dropped sharply, in what analysts said was profit taking by professional short-sellers who had been building up large positions before the market's stunning collapse in October. With stock prices suffering record declines during the ''October Massacre,'' many short-sellers reaped huge profits.
Many analysts and traders have in the past considered short sales to be bearish. Short-sellers take a lot of risk, since they lose money when stocks go up. Thus a rise in short interest presumably represents a strong belief that the market will turn down.

MLB Confidential: Replay on fair/foul calls?
Question: Should there be replay on fair/foul calls?
Replay on fair/foul calls
Yes: 36%
No: 62%
Not sure: 2%
AL players:
Yes: 30%
No: 68%
Not sure: 2%
NL players:
Yes: 42%
No: 56%
Not sure: 2%
Our survey-takers liked this replay idea better than reviews of base calls -- but not by much. "It's going to eventually happen," said an AL player in the minority. "People may say it's been this way forever, too much will now be under review and all that. But all people want, including fans and players, is to get the game called right."

After Jim Joyce's blown call at first base cost Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga a perfect game, MLB umpires came under harsh scrutiny. To test the current climate of player-umpire relations, ESPN The Magazine grilled 100 MLBers about the boys in blue. Here's what we found:
1. Who are the three best umpires in baseball?
2. Who are the three worst umpires in baseball?
3. Which umpire has the quickest hook?
4. Grade the overall performance of umpires, "A" through "F."
5. Should there be replay on base calls?
6. Should there be replay on fair/foul calls?
7. Should Bud Selig have overturned the result of the Galarraga near-perfect game?

What Do White Belts Need to Learn in Their 1st Year of BJJ?
by guest author Mark Mullen
I'm currently in Rio de Janeiro doing a little training in BJJ. While here I have met a number of white belts at the Connection Rio BJJ hostel. Sitting around the pool or over acai after training, inevitably the topic of conversation turns to BJJ and the struggles of the white belts trying to find their way in the art suave.
Question: My Mind Goes Blank During Sparring...
Hi Stephan,
First of all, I want to thank you for creating your instructional apps and having these frequent tips/newsletters. They have really helped me to get started in BJJ. Even though I have been signed up to receive your emails for a while now I have only just begun my training. (more…)
Jiu-Jitsu for the Zombie Apocalypse
I've just put the most important video I've ever shot onto Youtube: Jiu-Jitsu for the Zombie Apocalypse.
A lot of people will tell you that jiu-jitsu will be useless when the Zombie Apocalypse hits. But those people have an agenda: usually they're trying to sell you flamethrowers, or have stocks in the big arms companies. (more…)
A Easy Way to Stay Out of Trouble in the Guard
Posture, posture, posture… Everyone talks about posture as THE solution to staying out of trouble in the guard. Every guard pass ever taught starts out with, "First, make posture in the guard."
But the trouble is that your opponent knows this too. If you're in his closed guard, and if posture is good for you, then posture is bad for him. So guess what? He'll work like crazy to disrupt, destroy, and break down your posture whenever he's got you in the closed guard.
How to Maintain Rear Mount, Improve Guillotines, and Thwart 'Combatives' Experts
Rear mount seems like such a simple position: I mean, you're basically just piggybacking on your opponent, right?
Well, success in jiu-jitsu usually means doing simple, fundamental things with a high degree of sophistication and attention to detail. And rear mount is no different – switch your grip by a couple of inches, have your hand open instead of closed, do the wrong thing for even a moment and the whole thing goes straight to hell! (more…)
3 Open Guard Options vs. Standing Opponents
If you don't have a gameplan from the open guard then this position can quickly become a confusing and ineffective tangle of arms and legs .
And open guard chaos gets much, much worse when you don't have a good grip on your opponent. (more…)

How to Counter the Stupidest Closed Guard Break Ever - The Elbow Grind on the Inner Thighs
Grinding away on your inner thighs is the favourite (and often only) closed guard breaking strategy of meathead grapplers everywhere.
I don't know who originally came up with this bush league, Dim Mak wanna be, pressure point bull**** strategy, but for some reason you run into 'grinders' at almost every club.
Like most pain compliance techniques the elbow grind is something that works semi-OK in sparring, but almost never works in competition (more…)
What is the Spider Guard?
What is the Spider Guard?
The Spider Guard is a form of Open Guard where you grip your opponent's wrists or sleeves and have at least one foot controlling at least one of his arms. Typically the sole of your foot will be placed against his biceps, or your leg will spiral around his elbow with your toes hiding underneath his upper arm.
What is the X Guard?
Depending on how you look at it, the X Guard can be be classified as either a form of Open Guard or a form of Half Guard. Maybe that's why the BOTH those positions transition so well into the X Guard.
But how about an alternative perspective… (more…)
What is the Butterfly Guard?
The Butterfly Guard is one of my very favorite positions these days.
Regardless of whether you're rolling with or without the gi, the Butterfly Guard keeps your opponent's weight off of you, it gives you unparalleled mobility on the bottom, and it allows you to unleash blistering combinations of some of the most powerful sweeps and reversals in all of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. (more…)
What is the Half Guard?
The Half Guard is a funny position.
Once upon a time it was a position of last resort. Something that you would try to achieve if your opponent was passing your guard. A last-ditch attempt to stop him from getting to a truly dominant position.
My, how things have changed in the last 20 years…
What is the Open Guard?
Are you confused about the definition of the Open Guard? You are NOT alone. In fact, when I started BJJ someone tried to explain the different variations of the Open Guard to me and I think his explanation left me more confused than I had been originally.
So, what is the Open Guard? (more…)
What is the Closed Guard?
Here's a short 1:30 minute video breakdown of me explaining the basics of the closed guard.
And just to keep things interesting I also throw in my single best tip about how to maintain the closed guard, shut down your opponent's guard pass attempts and put you in a position to successfully launch your own attacks. (more…)

Stabilizing and Attacking Larger Opponents from Sidemount
Many battles are lost by not sufficiently stabilizing sidemount, and/or choosing the wrong attacks to use from that otherwise dominant position.

BJJ Training Strategies
Having the right assortment of techniques is pretty darn important in BJJ. But having the right training strategies is even more important…
By 'training strategies' I'm talking about the big picture. Like knowing which techniques to use, when to use them, and how to correctly train those techniques in the first place. (more…)

WASHINGTON — Despite record low approval ratings, House lawmakers Tuesday embraced a $3,300 pay raise that will increase their salaries to $168,500.
Other political news of note
Senate to vote on extension of undetectable gun ban
Just days before the anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the Senate is expected to extend a ban on undetectable firearms without tightening any of the law's restrictions.

Senate to vote on extension of undetectable gun ban
The 2 percent cost-of-living raise would be the seventh straight for members of the House and Senate.
Lawmakers easily squelched a bid by Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, to get a direct vote to block the COLA, which is automatically awarded unless lawmakers vote to block it.
In the early days of GOP control of Congress, lawmakers routinely denied themselves the annual COLA. Last year, the Senate voted 92-6 to deny the raise but quietly surrendered the position in House-Senate talks.
As part of an ethics reform bill in 1989, Congress gave up their ability to accept pay for speeches and made annual cost-of-living pay increases automatic unless the lawmakers voted otherwise.
The pay issue has been linked to the annual Transportation and Treasury Department spending bill because that measure stipulates that civil servants get raises of 2.7 percent, the same as military personnel will receive. Under a complicated formula, the increase translates to 2 percent for members of Congress.
Lone opponent fails again
Like last year, Matheson led a quixotic drive to block the raise. He was the only member to speak on the topic.
"I do not think that it is appropriate to let this bill go through without an up or down vote on whether or not Congress should have an increase in its own pay," Matheson said.
But by a 249-167 vote, the House rejected Matheson's procedural attempt to get a direct vote on the pay raise.
The pay raise would also apply to the vice president — who is president of the Senate — congressional leaders and Supreme Court justices.
This year, Vice President Cheney and House Speaker Dennis Hastert receive $212,100. Associate justices receive $203,000. House and Senate party leaders get $183,500.
President Bush's salary of $400,000 is unaffected by the legislation.

Well we're all here for a reason, to meet new people and see what happens. If it gets serious then it's a good thing, if not then keep moving on w/ life. You're either here because you're too busy to get out and meet new people or you want something outside the norm. I'm here to meet new people and to see what happens.
I feel I'm ready to get out and find my queen. Trust is important in any relationship whether friendship or something more serious. I respect everyone and would hope they do the same in return. I have a close-circle of friends that I will go to war for and they'll do the same for me, but even then it's nice to converse w/ someone outside of the circle.

True to Form, Moore Seems to Have Exaggerated for Effect by John Sexton 26 Feb 2013 post a comment Share This: In response to Huffpo: Ben Smith, BuzzFeed 'Government-Subservient' Stenographers: BuzzFeed definitely made some mistakes but Glenn Greenwald's outrage seems a bit over the top (as usual). Even Huff Post is backing off the outrage a bit: UPDATE: BuzzFeed wrote a second story on Tuesday, this time quoting five LAX officials and saying that the logs from the airport showed that Burnat was detained for 23 minutes. The story still differs widely from Moore and Burnat's account of the detention. [Emphasis mine] Twenty-three minutes isn't nothing. I'd definitely be annoyed if I was diverted at an airport for that long. That said, it's not nearly the 90 minutes that Michael Moore claimed in his version of events. Comments

Real Housewives star and model Joanna Krupa doesn't exactly try very hard to keep her amazing body a secret from us perverts of the world, between her generous Instagram posts and her actual job. But it's still pretty awesome that her breasts fell out of her shirt yesterday while she was playing with her dog, because the element of surprise makes it feel like Christmas morning. Except instead of shitty sweaters and humiliating family moments, it's a hot Polish model's breasts that were wrapped in yesterday's newspaper.

KATY, TX (KTRK) -- Four people are in custody after a home invasion in Katy Tuesday morning and one of them is a juvenile.
Neighbors close to the victim told us the suspects kicked in the door, yelling 'HPD!' They say those suspects were armed with a gun, a Taser and a knife. And that has families on this street very worried.
Neighbor Maribel Romero said, "It's kind of scary to know that it's so close to home."
It was at a home on Lazy Valley Drive where investigators say four burglars with weapons barged in on a man who was home alone just after 11am. The victim's family told me it only took a few seconds for those crooks to get away with some jewelry, then run to an SUV where a fifth accomplice was waiting in a getaway car.
Investigators say the suspects crashed that vehicle near Fry Road, about a quarter mile from the house. They jumped out of their truck and began running along a bayou and into a neighborhood trying to dodge the deputies.
It took about 20 minutes for officers from several agencies to track down four of the suspects. So far detectives say one juvenile and three adult males are now in custody. Neighbors are still worried a fifth suspect is still on the run.
"It's pretty unbelievable," said neighbor April Rinker. "There's a lot of kids on this street, and if kids are out of school and if any of this went down during that time, it's pretty scary."
The victim's friends say he's OK, but pretty shaken up.
Investigators tell us they did recover two handguns from the suspects' truck. They are asking anyone with information about the crime or the burglar who is still on the run to call Harris County Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

MMXIII is an intermedia project encompassing cinema, performance, and visual art. A feature-length, experimental self-portrait sits at the center of a broad body of inquiry into cinema, light, technology, and nature.
Art objects and related conceptual gestures lend themselves to a larger narrative.
We are a culture increasingly immersed in screens, and MMXIII explores this immersion.
USA/ HD/ Color/ 67min/ 2013
Ian Clark, Nandan Rao, Sarah Nance, Robert Collier Beam (voice)
Directed, edited, photographed, produced by

Additional Photography
Nandan Rao
An experimental self-portrait, MMXIII explores phenomenological subtlety, intersections of construct and verité, and the ways in which technology, landscape, and beauty coalesce. Here, an artist's reflexive gestures investigate moving images and the nature of image construction, blurring lines between cinema, still photography, and performance art.
Date of Production
Dec 2011—Dec 2012 / USA
"There is a beautiful balance between [the] visual and sound design, and ideas gently emerge as to how we relate to nature, technology, and the past. Somehow in the end, I felt more story and emotion watching MMXIII than in most films I see." — Patrick Wang

Colts' Addai mum on extent of hamstring injury
INDIANAPOLIS -- Joseph Addai hopes an injured hamstring won't keep him out too long.
Addai is still sore and is likely to miss Sunday's game at Green Bay, but the Colts running back, who made his first Pro Bowl last season, wouldn't say Thursday whether the muscle is torn.
"Right now, it's not feeling too good," he said. "The biggest thing is just getting it back to where it feels strong."
Reports surfaced Wednesday night that Addai had a partially torn hamstring.
If the rumor is true, he could miss up to four weeks.
That's not what the Colts have been saying all week, and coach Tony Dungy reiterated that position again during his availability with reporters Thursday.
"I hope not," he said. "I read that yesterday, but I hadn't heard that. I've pulled muscles that kept me out a week or two. I would think a torn muscle would be a problem, but I haven't heard that, other than reading it in the paper."
Dungy has said Addai probably would be held out this weekend even if he felt good enough to play, and the Colts have already taken measures to avoid the predicament they faced against Baltimore last Sunday.
Addai left in the first quarter and did not return, and third-string running back Mike Hart left in the second quarter with a right knee injury. Hart's injury was later diagnosed as a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament tear, and he was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Dungy has said Addai's injury isn't that serious.
Losing both Addai and Hart left the Colts with only one running back available against the Ravens -- Dominic Rhodes.
So on Wednesday, the Colts promoted undrafted rookie Chad Simpson from the practice squad to the active roster and re-signed Clifton Dawson, a second-year player who spent most of last season with the Colts.
That will give Indianapolis more bodies, though not much more experience. Rhodes, a former 1,000-yard rusher who helped the Colts win a Super Bowl, probably will carry a heavy load. He's embracing the opportunity to make his first start with Indy since the 2006 regular-season finale.
"I don't know what's going on with Joe right now, they say he might be able to play, so I don't know," Rhodes said. "But I would relish the opportunity. Some backs can be the type of back who come in for a play here or a play there, but I'm the type of back who likes to come in and get comfortable because I'm better at the end of the game and the end of the season."
While depth at running back is clearly a big concern, it's not the Colts' only one this week.
Indy thought it had acquired some depth at defensive tackle when it traded for Buffalo's John McCargo, but the deal collapsed Wednesday when McCargo failed a physical. The Colts had already waived LaJuan Ramsey on Tuesday, and the team may not add another linemen this week.
"That's something we'll look at at the end of the week," Dungy said. "We have to clear a spot for (linebacker) Tyjuan (Hagler) anyway, that's probably what our thought is right now. But nothing is out of the realm of possibility."
Also out are starting cornerback Kelvin Hayden, who had surgery to repair the meniscus in his left knee, and safety Bob Sanders, last year's defensive player of the year who has a high ankle sprain.
But there is some good news.
Outside linebacker Freddy Keiaho, also a starter, returned to practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's workout with a groin injury, and Hagler, the starter at the other outside spot last season, is expected to be activated from the physically unable to perform list later this week and could play Sunday.
"He did well yesterday, practiced fine and didn't seem sore today," Dungy said. "So that's a good sign."
As for Addai, it's anybody's guess.
"It's too early to say," he said. "The biggest thing is just getting it back to where it was."

Christine Horner, MD FACS
Christine Horner, MD is a nationally known surgeon, author, and professional speaker residing in San Diego, California. She holds two board certifications: the National Board of Surgery, and the National Board of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Horner was recognized as a leader in her field shortly after starting her plastic and reconstructive surgery practice because she successfully ran a national campaign to pass laws requiring insurance companies to pay for breast reconstruction following mastectomy. Her five year crusade -- the Breast Reconstruction Advocacy Project or BRA Project -- led to the passage of laws in thirty-five states and a federal law. The federal bill was signed into law by President Clinton on October 21, 1998. The law was unprecedented because it was the first law Congress had ever passed requiring insurance companies to pay for a specific surgical procedure. Her campaign involved several meetings with President Clinton and Hillary Clinton, Senator's Ted Kennedy and Alfonse D'Amato, and Representatives Anna Eshoo and Sue Kelly.
Dr. Horner received a tremendous amount of national media coverage for the campaign and was featured in dozens of national magazines including Glamour, Ms. Magazine, Elle, Allure, and Women's Health Weekly, and newspapers including the New York Daily News, USA Today, the Detroit Free Press, the Chicago Sun Times, the Cincinnati Enquire, the Baltimore Sun and a front page feature article in the Kentucky Post. Dr. Horner has been interviewed for many television news programs including the NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw. In February 1999 Glamour magazine honored her as their "WOW--Woman of the Month." In 2000 Oprah recognized her as part of her "Angel Network" on her television program.
For over a decade, Dr. Horner worked with the American Cancer Society. She was appointed to The American Cancer Society's Breast Cancer Detection Task Force for the state of Kentucky from 1993-97, served as the ACS Spokesperson for the state of Kentucky on Breast Cancer issues from 1992- 1997, chaired the "Relay for Life" event in 1993 and 1994, served on the Board of Directors of the ACS Kentucky Division and was Vice President of the Kentucky Division in 1993-94. She worked with the National ACS office in their Medical Content Oversight Work Group for "tlc" magazine in 1997 and contributed articles to Coping Magazine. In 1994, the ACS honored Dr. Horner by awarding her the Kentucky Division Lifesaver Award.
Dr. Horner was appointed to the Kentucky Commission on Women in 1999. She founded and served as President of the non-profit organization that ran the Breast Reconstruction Advocacy Project called the Women's Health Advocacy Projects and was the founder, CEO and President of the Women's Physicians Assurance Company from 1996-98.
Dr. Horner has also been recognized for her outstanding surgical abilities. In 2001 she was named by her peers as one of "Cincinnati Top Doctors. "
Mission & Passion In the early 1990s, Dr. Horner became alarmed over the increasing number of very young women she saw in her practice diagnosed with breast cancer. When her own mother was diagnosed and then died from breast cancer, Dr. Horner began an intensive search of the medical literature to find what -- if anything -- could help prevent breast cancer. What she found was a tremendous amount of little-known research proving that woman can significantly reduce their risk of breast cancer and of most other chronic diseases through natural means: eating the right foods, exercising, sleeping during the ideal hours, and using techniques of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (herbs, supplements, meditation, detoxification and purification techniques etc.). From that moment Dr. Horner incorporated all of these techniques into her own life and then became passionate about teaching others how to stay healthy naturally.
In effort to get this information out to as many people as possible, in 1999 Dr. Horner worked to create the first ever syndicated television news segment exclusively focused on Complementary and Alternative Medicine and natural approaches to staying healthy. It aired on WCPO-TV and then WLW-TV in Cincinnati. Dr. Horner was the host and medical editor of the segment. She wrote over 144 Internet articles for the WLW- TV web site. Each article gave more in-depth information about the topics featured on the bi-weekly television news segment. In 2001, the segment was syndicated on the WISDOM Television Network, reaching 5.5 million households.
In June 2002, Dr. Horner left her plastic surgery practice so that she could dedicate herself full time to writing and teaching about her passion: prevention-oriented medicine and how to become and stay healthy naturally.
Dr. Horner is a popular and charismatic speaker. For several years, her engaging presentations on natural health topics have appealed to audiences nationwide. In 2005, she gave dozens of presentations including "Natural Approaches to Breast Cancer Prevention" at the annual meeting for the American Holistic Medical Association in Philadelphia, the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians in Phoenix, the Cancer Control Conference in Los Angeles, and gave a keynote address at the CAM conference in LA in October. In 2006, she spoke at the 92nd Street Y in New York City, the Harvard University sponsored course in Boston "Publishing Books, Memoirs and other Creative Nonfiction" and was the keynote at the Women's Wellness Day sponsored by the Susan Samueli Center for Integrative Medicine, University of California Irvine, .

Remarks by Julie L. Williams Acting Comptroller of the Currency Before an EGRPRA Outreach Meeting Phoenix, Arizona May 12, 2005 I would like to welcome this fine group of public-spirited bankers who have taken the time, and in some cases traveled considerable distances, to share your insights at this meeting. Those insights are truly invaluable as we strive to create a healthy balance of entrepreneurial freedom and regulatory oversight of the banking business. We have been fortunate indeed to have someone with John Reich's unique qualifications to lead the EGRPRA effort over the past two and half years. Few individuals can combine John's perspective as a key Capitol Hill and FDIC insider with his community banker's understanding of what it means to run a banking business. Also, on a personal note, I must add that he is a wonderful colleague to work with. I look forward to his continued leadership once he assumes his responsibilities as Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision. One thing experience has taught all of us is that regulatory burden can come in many different forms and fashions. From this and other industry outreach meetings, and from the hundreds of comment letters that we've received in connection with the EGRPRA process, we've identified many antiquated and superfluous regulations, regulations that could be streamlined, and regulations that do not deliver benefits commensurate with their costs. What I'd like to discuss with you today is one important aspect of the current debate concerning regulatory burden – how we use disclosures to accomplish consumer protection objectives in the banking business, and how, despite good intentions and enormous resources expended, it's not working as well as it should for consumers, and is imposing unnecessary burdens on bankers. In recent years, regulators – and Congress – with the best of motives, have approached consumer issues in the financial services arena by requiring more and more information to be provided to consumers – constantly playing catch-up with rapidly evolving market practices. So where has this brought us? Do you feel enlightened by the disclosures you get? Do you think that the stacks of paper, pamphlets and reams of disclosures that your customers get are helpful to them? Do they understand the blizzard of information coming at them? Just think of the volume of consumer disclosures people just throw out because consumers don't find them useful. 2 Credit cards are a good example. How many of you have credit cards? How many of you – bankers – understand the detail and fine print of your credit card agreement? Have you ever actually tried to read it? How many of you could find your credit card agreement and all its change-in-terms notices today? How many could tell me under what circumstances your credit card company is allowed to change your rate and what your options are if that happens? This current state of affairs breeds understandable frustration and cynicism among consumers. Consumers who see just a haze of fine print, instead of the information they want and need, may understandably conclude that certain information is deliberately being obscured. And banks large and small complain about the costs and burdens of various consumer compliance requirements. The EGRPRA regulatory burden reduction project so ably led by Vice Chairman Reich has highlighted these concerns. And this industry reaction is not just as a complaint about costs. The expense associated with developing and distributing disclosures would be more bearable if people thought all the effort effectively accomplished their purpose: to get vital information into the hands of consumers to make informed choices and to promote healthy competition among financial providers. But the evidence suggests that, despite all this investment in disclosures, we have a way to go. I don't mean to suggest that we should discard the basic approach of reliance on disclosures and consumer choice to accomplish important consumer protection objectives. I believe that one of the great strengths of our financial system is that, with limited exception, the government does not dictate the price and terms of products and services that may be offered. But, in order for this free market to work, consumers need to have the means to make informed decisions. Continuing with credit cards as an example, there are two arenas where current developments hold promise of positive developments to produce better, more effective, and less burdensome approaches to consumer disclosures. The first is in Congress, and second is through revisions to regulations – in this case, Regulation Z. Next week, the Senate Banking Committee will be holding a hearing, at which I will testify, on credit card disclosures. I am encouraged by the Committee's interest, and I hope that the Committee will use the opportunity not simply to criticize the current state of credit card disclosures – which we would agree leave room for improvement – but to begin a re-examination of the processes of developing, designing, implementing, overseeing and evaluating consumer disclosures for financial products and services. Our goal here ought to be consumer disclosures that consumers can understand and find useful, provided in a manner that minimizes unnecessary regulatory burdens on the company required to provide them. In recent decades, when Congress has passed laws with a consumer protection component, the legislation frequently included specific requirements concerning the 3 content of information to be provided to consumers. Also, it has been typical of recent legislation for the agencies charged with drafting rules to implement those requirements to be given very short deadlines to finish their work. Typically, the job of drafting these rules falls to compliance specialists and lawyers. The results can be expected to be comprehensible – to other lawyers and compliance experts – who are justifiably concerned about civil liability from the consequences of noncompliance with complex compliance requirements. I would encourage anyone interested in effective and efficient consumer disclosures to look at the experience of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in developing another type of consumer disclosure, the "Nutrition Facts" label that we consult to make sure that we get our vitamins and minerals – and not too many calories, carbs, sodium, or fat. The "Nutrition Facts" box may be the most prevalent and frequently used consumer disclosure in the marketplace today. Just think about how frequently you check out the calorie count on a candy bar or bag of potato chips, the carbs for a loaf of bread, or the fat content of different brands of ice cream or yogurt. And the clear labeling of nutrition content has not only enabled consumers to find products with the nutritional characteristics they're seeking, it has influenced food producers to develop products that consumers want. In other words, these disclosures have been effective and useful to consumers. How did this happen? The effort that led to the FDA's nutrition labeling began with a clear statement by Congress of the objective the FDA was charged to accomplish. While Congress did specify certain nutrition facts to be disclosed, it also provided the FDA with the flexibility to delete or add to these requirements in the interest of assisting consumers in "maintaining healthy dietary practices." It left to the FDA's discretion the design and format of the nutrition label. Based on the direction and goals set out by Congress, the FDA took several years, in an effort that involved intensive research not only by nutritionists, but also by social scientists who polled focus groups to elicit ideas on the kind of information consumers wanted to see, experimented with dozens of different formats, and tested those formats with target consumer audiences to determine what actually worked. The "Nutrition Facts" box disclosure was the result of painstaking laboratory and fieldwork, notably including extensive input by consumers. Why can't we do something similar for financial products? Why can't we have concise, easy to follow disclosures of the information that consumers most want to know about financial products that is less burdensome on the businesses required to provide it? Why can't one sheet of paper with key information clearly presented in a user-friendly format take the place of all those pamphlets and long forms with type so small you really do need a magnifying glass to read it? 4 For critics of the adequacy and effectiveness of consumer disclosures, as well as those who question the costs and other burdens associated with compliance with current consumer disclosure requirements, what can we learn from the FDA experience? First, it teaches that legislators should consider more emphasis in financial services legislation on articulating the goals to be achieved through a particular consumer protection disclosure regime, rather than the precise content of mandated disclosures. A second lesson is to look for opportunities to require, and please provide adequate time for, regulators to include consumer testing as part of their rulemaking processes. Personally, I would welcome a mandate that before we issue any new consumer disclosure rules and regulations, bank regulators must undertake thorough consumer testing to discover what information consumers most want to know about in connection with a particular product and how to most effectively communicate that information to them. And finally, given the example of the concise disclosures that resulted from the FDA's careful process, I would hope legislators would require that regulators take into account both the burden associated with implementing any new standards, together with the effectiveness of those disclosures. The EGRPRA effort as it plays into regulatory burden reduction legislative proposals that are currently being developed is the perfect opportunity for Congress to do this. Regulators also have a great opportunity now to make needed changes to enhance the effectiveness and utility of various consumer disclosure requirements while lessening their regulatory burden. This can occur through the EGRPRA regulatory review process and through separate initiatives that are unique to a particular agency. Continuing to use credit card disclosures as an example, the rulemaking process just undertaken by the Federal Reserve Board to review the requirements for credit card disclosures under Regulation Z offers an interesting test. Last month, the OCC took the unusual step of submitting a comment letter responding to the Board's Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Regulation Z's open-end credit rules. In addition to pointing out a number of specific inconsistencies and other issues that we believe should be considered in the Board's review of Regulation Z, our comment letter stressed several key themes. Our letter discussed both the development of the FDA's "Nutrition Facts" label and the efforts of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in the United Kingdom to develop revised disclosure requirements for a variety of financial products. We also noted that the OCC, the Board, and several other federal agencies are currently engaged in a multi-phase consumer testing project to improve financial institution privacy notices. Our comments highlighted several techniques that have been found to be key to effective – and efficient – consumer disclosures. 5 • • • • Focus on key information that is central to the consumer's decision making (with supplementary information provided separately in a fair and clear manner); Ensure that this key information is highlighted in such a way that consumers will notice it and understand its significance; Employ a standardized disclosure format that consumers can readily navigate; and Use simple language and an otherwise user-friendly manner of disclosure. A second general theme of our comment letter related to the approach to consumer disclosure requirements reflected in Regulation Z and countless other consumer protection rules in the financial services arena: extensively detailed, prescriptive rules specifying (among other things) the content of information to be provided to consumers. While this approach has informed consumers about many features of their credit card accounts, it also risks information overload, and has the potential for important information to be obscured by the volume of specific disclosures. The third general theme of our comments related to the need to ensure that credit disclosure rules keep pace with the evolution of credit products and industry practices. For example, one source of an increasing number of credit card consumer complaints is the exercise by creditors of change-in-terms provisions to "reprice" credit card accounts, and the information that consumers receive about those practices. It would seem pretty basic that customers should be clearly informed of the circumstances under which their rates will be, or may be, changed. But Regulation Z currently addresses the various ways in which an account may be "repriced" in very inconsistent ways. For example: • • For variable rates, specific disclosure is required of the fact that the rate may vary and an explanation of how the rate will be determined, as well as detailed rules about the actual numerical rate that is disclosed. For promotional rates, specific disclosure of the promotional rate and a large print disclosure of the rate that will apply after expiration of the promotional rate is required, but no disclosure is required of the different circumstances under which the promotional rate will be or may be terminated. For penalty rates, specific disclosure of the increased penalty rate that may apply upon the occurrence of one or more specific events is required, but the disclosure of those events is not required to be particularly detailed, or necessarily prominent, and no disclosure of the duration of the penalty rate is required. And, no disclosure is required of the issuer's reservation of a unilateral right to increase the interest rate, fees, or any other terms of the account. • • This doesn't make sense, but it is but one example of consumer disclosure requirements that are extensive and call on significant bank resources, but do not provide key information of most interest to bank customers. My point is that by conducting the right kind of qualitative and quantitative research and designing our disclosures accordingly, we can find ways to address 6 systematically some of the most problematic credit issues for consumers, and also reduce the disclosure burden on both the industry and consumers. Quality rather than quantity; disclosure in the spirit of openness and free markets rather than as a mere compliance gesture; research rather than guesswork – these are values that should guide us. If we take these values to heart, I believe we can develop a framework for consumer compliance disclosures that work effectively for consumers and efficiently for the bankers that seek to serve them. Let me close by again thanking you for being here and being engaged in this vital challenge.

What a wonderful teacher. South Fork High is fortunate to have her and Gainesville High was stupid to use her position as a budget cut. We need more teachers like her. Why is it when education budgets get cut, no one looks at keeping quality and cutting waste? This is example of union mentality of reducing based solely on tenure. Looks like South Fork knows quality when they see it - kudos to the Principal and to Ms. Case!
Why is LaCava even arguing about the organizational chart and appointing people to positions when he is not the Superintendent for the year being planned? Personnel are entitled to know where they will work no later than June 30 and LaCava can harm the district with his appointments and give legal rights to the persons that he names to positions. LaCava can strap the incoming Superintendent with personnel not acceptable to her or be gracious and ask the incoming Superintendent what she needs to do her job. Good for you, Carol Johnson, for having the guts to tell this dictator to get over himself and either cooperate with the incoming Superintendent or move on.
Great start --- FINALLY making cuts at district level fat cat positions. I notice no one in these comments are crying to keep those positions that were eliminated --- good job, Supt. Adams. I am impressed.

Friendly staff at centrally located hotel
Posted Jul 30, 2013The hotel is within walking distance of Mantua's two greatest attractions : the Palazzo Ducale and the Palazzo Te. The staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful. One of them recommended a restaurant across the road which served excellent food at reasonable price. I ate there every night during my stay. Free wifi is available but regrettably did not work so well during weekends.

Super Response to Medical Emergency
Posted Jul 11, 2012 on Hotels.comMy husband had a medical emergency. I was extremely impressed with the management's concern and quick response in calling for medical assistance. Two physicians came to our room and arranged for ambulance transfer to a hospital. We were able to return that same evening. Again, the hotel's handling of the situation was a big relief for us.

- The City of Knoxville is now accepting applications for students interested in serving on the Mayors University of Tennessee Student Advisory Board.
The Student Advisory Board, originally initiated by Mayor Bill Haslam, is headed into its fifth year.
UT students are a vital constituency of the city and I look forward to hearing their suggestions on how city government can better serve their needs, Haslam said. Im also eager to hear how we can work to make Knoxville the city of choice for them after they graduate.
Members of the Student Advisory Board will meet monthly in the Mayors conference room. The board benefits both students serving on it and the city. It allows the students to learn about the operations of city government, while providing them with a forum to voice ideas or concerns about how the university and the city might work in a collaborative effort.
Cathy Chesney, a member of the mayors staff, serves as Mayor Haslams representative for the board. Chesney coordinates and convenes the board meetings, which feature a different speaker each month from the mayors staff.
Chesney said that Mayor Haslam will attend the first meeting to outline plans for the group and discuss their interests. Several other speakers from city government are tentatively slated to appear, including the Cumberland Avenue Corridor Project Director, Senior Director of Policy and Communications, Director of Special Events, and the Police Chief among others.
Katie Linley, a former board member as well as liaison to the City of Knoxville for the SGA, is excited about the opportunity for the university to work in such a way with city officials.
"Being a member of the board allowed me to have a behind the scenes look into Knoxville, she said. It is a great opportunity for students to promote ideas and concerns, but also gain knowledge about the city. UT students are a significant part of the Knoxville community so our voices are vital to the city and its leaders."
Applications are due by September 10th.

Linda Bryan Gay, 65, of Athens, died Saturday, July 20, 2013, in Wasilla, Alaska, while serving the Lord on a mission trip with a mission team from First Baptist Church of Athens, of which she was a member.
The funeral service was held Saturday, July 27, 2013, in Clearwater, Fla., from the chapel of Sylvan Abbey Funeral Home, with burial in Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park. A memorial service for Mrs. Gay will be at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3, at First Baptist Church of Athens, with Dr. Edwin F. Jenkins and Larry Hicks officiating. Visitation will begin at 5 p.m.
Linda's passion was loving people, and she had a special fondness for children. She worked in special education with elementary school children and she took on a personal cause for children with disabilities. She adored her grandchildren and the way their parents were raising them in a Christian home. Linda loved her mother-in-law, Gaye Gay, whom she called daily. Linda loved to travel, many times with Mandy to Israel, and to other Christian events in Gatlinburg and the Bahamas. Linda's love of travel and the military came from living in Guam, Okinawa and many other locations in the United States while her father served in the Army. After graduation from Mississippi University for Women, she served in the U.S. Army as a first lieutenant in the Women's Army Corps. While stationed at Fort McClellan in Alabama, she met the love of her life, U.S. Army Capt. Oscar Gay. Their service continued with their son, Capt. Jason Gay, who served in the U.S. Army. Linda loved her country and was proudly given military honors at her burial site.
Linda is survived by her husband, Oscar of Athens; her son, Jason Gay and wife Virginia and their children, Abigail, Nathaniel and Andrew, all of Versailles, Ky; and her daughter, Amanda Gay of Clearwater, Fla.
She is also survived by her brother, James "Dee" Bryan and wife Sandra of Seneca, S.C.; and many friends and extended-family members.
The family asks that, in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be made to The Gideons International, First Baptist Church Mission Fund or Alabama Baptist Children's Home. Spry Funeral Home of Athens is assisting the Gay family.
