New School Supplies Cause Joyfulness
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Mlis Roat (Jasmine in English) uses crayons and pencils donated by World Vision to draw a house with four colourful pillars, a brown roof, and flowers in the front.
She loves to draw picture of flowers and houses when she has free time. Born in the night, Mlis Roat is sometimes called Reatrey, which means Night in English. Reatrey takes out dozen of pens and pencils, toothpaste, a toothbrush, soap, crayons, a writing notebook, a ruler and an orange blanket from her backpack and shows to her grandmother.
"Today is the first time for me to see all these stuff. She did tell me about these but I did not have chance to see," the grandmother says. It sounds like she is teasing Reatrey, as if the girl received all these items and hid them from her sight.
Reatrey has lived with her grandparents who are farmers since she was a baby. Her parents are working at the Cambodian-Thailand border to earn for a leaving. Reatrey has one older brother and a baby sister.
"I will keep this blanket until I grow up. I will use it when I sleep with my mother and my younger sister," says Reatrey while she unfolds and shows it to her grandmother.
Since Reatrey has lived with her grandparents, she is considered as their younger daughter.
"My life is meaningful having her (Reatrey). Despite my sickness, I am always encouraged to go to work after seeing her smile," says 55 years old Phan Leb, a grandmother of Reatrey.
Reatrey drags an old bag hanging on the wall and says, "This is my previous schooling bag."
Seeing the bag, the grandmother sitting next to Reatrey says that it is an unused bag left by her uncle.
"It is a bit hard for us to buy a new backpack and school material for her," Phan says, adding that she is so thankful for World Vision's support on Reatrey school materials.
The old bag with broken zips that Reatrey used to carry with her shoulders can keep only a few notebooks, pens and pencils. Reatrey could not keep her reading books inside the small bag.
"I put the other big books and rulers inside another plastic bag," she recalls, then smiles. "I can keep all school material inside my new backpack and there are three pockets thus I can keep pencils and pens at the front and books and board in the big one."
With her endless smile having given new school materials, Reatrey share her gratitude to the sponsor who always support and encourage her to go to school.
With a dream of being a teacher, Reatrey says, "I will study hard."
Over 1,600 children in World Vision's Area Development Programmme receive packages of school material such as backpack, pens, pencils, rulers, crayons, notebooks, blankets, toothpaste, toothbrush, soaps, handkerchief, and shoes through the Gift-In-Kind Programme.

Sports fans are one example of people who must cope with disappointment on a regular basis. In any competitive sport, someone will win and someone will lose. True fans tie their emotions into the fate of the teams that are nearest and dearest to their hearts. It stands to reason that we'd all prefer to maximize our positive emotions by identifying with winning teams and dis-identifying with losing teams. Fickle fans do just that. They engage in behaviors known as "BIRGing" and "CORFing." When you BIRG, you "bask in reflected glory" and take pride in your team's victory. When you CORF, you "cut off reflected failure" and distance yourself from the team. You won't even wear items of clothing with the team's logo as a symbol of your rejection.
Disappointed? Six Ways to Recover From Emotional Setbacks
Some sports fans notoriously hang in with their team no matter what. The Toronto Maple Leafs, for example, have not won a championship game since 1967, yet they continue to play at home to sold-out arenas. The fans may engage in protests, such as wearing bags over their heads, but they keep coming nevertheless. How do they manage to cope with the drubbing that their emotions take when faced with the constant crush of defeat?
According to what is known as "Disappointment Theory," we experience disappointment when a situation that has an uncertain outcome ends up producing a result that is worse than we had expected. We're most likely to be disappointed when we were seeking a positive outcome, when we felt that we deserve this positive outcome, when the failure to achieve that outcome is a surprise, and when the failure is outside of our personal control. Disappointment, then, involves these five elements:
- A situation in which the outcome is uncertain
- We are hoping for a positive outcome
- We feel we deserve the positive outcome
- We're surprised that we didn't achieve the outcome
- We couldn't control the outcome by our personal actions
In a study of Cleveland Browns fans carried out in the 2008 season, John Carroll University psychologists David Rainey, John Yost, and Janet Larsen (2011) tracked disappointment among fans who had followed the team for an average of 29 years. By the start of the season, Browns fans had experienced a drought of 44 years without winning the NFL championship. After a number of losing seasons, including a temporary move of the team to Baltimore, the Browns had nearly made the playoffs in the previous season. The hopes for the 2008 season, then, were high.
Early in the fall of 2008, Rainey and his colleagues asked members of their campus community to fill out surveys to assess their identification with the team as well as their expectations for the season. At the end of the season, the researchers asked the fans to report on how invested the fans were in the team (such as how much they spent on team clothes and trinkets) as well as their disappointment in the outcome of another disappointing season. On a scale of 4-20, the average fan disappointment was 17.5. The more disappointed fans were the ones who strongly identified with the team, who attended more home games, and—relevant to disappointment theory—expected more wins at the beginning of the season. If you want to avoid disappointment with your favorite team, you're better off either not expecting too much out of them or finding other ways to define your identity. Interestingly, in an earlier study of baseball fans, Rainey and his colleagues (2009) found that older fans were less subject to the disappointment effect. The longer you've experienced a winning drought, the better able you are to manage your expectations and take your team's losses in stride.
In general, according to what economists call the "emotion congruency model" (ECM), people in a bad mood are more likely to assign a low value to the worth of an object. We project our own negative emotions onto the objects we possess. As a result, when we're in a sad mood, we should be less likely to exhibit the endowment effect. We're willing to sell our possessions at a lower price when we're feeling down. The more we regard the item as a reflection of our identity (such as an item with a team insignia), the more likely it is we'll devalue the item when we're in a bad mood. As it turned out, the participants in the study conducted by Martinez and his collaborators assigned lower values to items they had in their possession when experiencing the emotion of disappointment.
Further research using EEG recordings of participants subjected to disappointment in an experimental setting suggests that people differ in their neural responses when things don't go their way. In research conducted by Swiss psychologist Hélène Tzieropoulos and colleagues (2011), participants experienced experimentally-induced disappointment in the "Trust Game," an investment simulation game. In the conditions intended to induce disappointment, participants received an outcome from a virtual "investor" that was much less than they expected to receive. Everyone who was let down by their investors experienced disappointment. However, some people were particularly sensitive to disappointment, causing them to lose experimental "money." Disappointment breeded more pessimism among participants low in disappointment tolerance. The more let down they felt, the more they expected to be let down in the future. What's more, the pattern of responding they showed on their EEG's suggested that they also tended to make their decisions impulsively, particularly after suffering a setback. Those least tolerant of disappointment needed only a small disappointment to bias their subsequent decisions and, ultimately, to suffer a lower payout.
What can we learn from these studies of disappointment? Here are six strategies to help you manage your feelings more successfully when your life's outcomes fail to live up to your expectations:
- Try a bit of "retroactive pessimism" Social psychologists have identified what they call a "hindsight bias" in which you can limit their disappointment by revising the high expectations you once had for winning. Tell yourself you didn't really expect to win, and as time goes by, the new memory will replace the painful, original memory.
- Increase your disappointment tolerance. There's no reason that people low in disappointment tolerance have to remain that way forever. Don't let disappointment breed pessimism because if you do, you're likely to set yourself up for even more disappointment in the future.
- Don't let disappointment skew your economic decisions. When you're feeling disappointed, you're more likely to sell at a loss. So if your favorite sports team lost the championship, don't rush to dump your treasure chest full of memorabilia onto eBay.
- Assess your role in personal disappointments. Though you can't control the outcome of a playoff game (despite your superstitious beliefs), you can control many of the outcomes in your personal life. If your expectations in love and work chronically fail to materialize, make an honest appraisal of what you may need to change in yourself.
- Control your identification with a losing cause. The sports fans who feel the most let down are the ones who identify most strongly with their teams. There's nothing wrong with being loyal, but if it impairs your daily happiness, you need to find other ways to boost your spirits such as strategy #6.
- Use humor to boost your emotions. Loyal sports fans who retain their loyalty despite years of punishing outcomes almost seem to relish their identification with the underdog. If lowering your identification with your hometown heroes isn't an option, try joining the ranks of your fellow sufferers who find solace in self-deprecating humor. Laughter is truly one of the best coping strategies and by allowing you to retain your optimism, can offset the consequences of faulty pessimism-based decisions.
Ultimately, achieving your goals is the best way to avoid disappointment. However, when those goals remain out of reach, these six steps will help you manage your feelings effectively.

With desi channels adapting international shows like "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" and "Got Talent", fans in India are quite used to stars such as Amitabh Bachchan or Madhuri Dixit popping up on TV screens as hosts or judges. But will Bollywood biggies ever take up acting in fiction series seriously?
Hindi film stars have generally steered clear of the small screen. Quite unlike their Hollywood counterparts, who have taken to the small screen in a pretty big way and happily feature in sitcoms too.
Julia Roberts, who will be seen in TV series "The Normal Heart", is the most recent case in point. Other popular Hollywood A-listers like Ashton Kutcher and Charlie Sheen were seen in the sitcom "Two-And-A-Half-Men". And "Grey's Anatomy" features Katherine Heigl.
But Indian TV screens have mostly been devoid of such participation from known cine-stars.
There have been some exceptions of course. In 1998, Om Puri and Naseeruddin Shah played the lead roles in the successful serials "Kakaji Kahin" and "Mirza Ghalib", respectively, for Doordarshan.
Bollywood's Dreamgirl Hema Malini did the successful dance-based show "Nupur" in the 1990s. But after that there was a lull.
In early 2000, Hema and Karisma Kapoor tried to revive the trend with "Kamini Damini" (2004) and "Karishma - The Miracles of Destiny" (2003), which also featured Arshad Warsi and Sanjay Suri, respectively. But their efforts failed to yield the desired results.
If the Karisma-starrer went off air after a few months, Hema's show couldn't replicate the success story of "Nupur".
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who took a big leap from TV to films, raised hopes of a turnaround in that trend when he expressed a desire to return to his roots.
"I had a discussion with late Mukul Anandji and since then we have been thinking that all the big stars of Bollywood should come together and make a TV series.
"It will be interesting if Bollywood people would come together and make a 10-part or 12-part series, just like 'Buniyaad' and 'Hum Log'... I am open to doing it if there is a good story to entertain the audience," he told reporters recently.
Apart from Shah Rukh, actors who have made a transition from TV soaps to films include Irrfan, Vidya Balan and R. Madhavan.
Salman Khan feels that television is too much of hard work. "Reality shows are about one season, but when you do a serial you are stuck in it for 10 -15 years," Salman told IANS.
Aruna Irani, who is known for her dance numbers and character roles in films and has also been quite active on the small screen, tries to analyse why Bollywood actors haven't taken to fiction shows on TV.
"Silver screen is silver screen. TV serials are considered a step down as compared to films. People have always considered it less than a movie," Aruna, who continues her association with TV through "Parichay Nayee Zindagi Kay Sapno Ka", told IANS.
Another hurdle is that money and fame are shortlived on TV, says film critic Vikas Mohan.
"There is more money and fame on silver screen. With television, fame is limited till the show is on air. Once the show is over, no one remembers the artists. So, (film) artists prefer to keep themselves connected only to the big screen," he said.
Time constraint also stops stars from taking up soaps, adds Samir Soni, who has long balanced TV and movie roles.
"Actors in films don't want to take that time off. They can do hosting, but for a daily soap you have to make a conscious commitment. In movies, the gestation period is so long... It may take a year to come," he added.
If Samir did films like "Lajja", "Fashion" and "I Hate Luv Stories", he also featured in daily soaps like "Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin" and is currently seen in "Parichay Nayee Zindagi Kay Sapno Ka".

Dear Readers,
Samir is doing great Job in Parichay,
Yes I totally agree that serial actors get faded off once their show goes off air. But there are very few like our Sammy who balances both TV and films well. We would love to see him on any screen.
Sameer Soni is the best!!
He is the Big B of Indian tv .:)

Sameer sir is right about commitment to tv show. Daily soap certainly can take more out of an actor compared to movie.
Sameer sir sure has provided his brilliant performance both in films and tv shows. I would say have not seen any actor portray range of emotion Sameer isr have done as KC, so hats off to that.
Would love to see both SS-KN on silver screen, they would rock.
@TB - tag Sameer sir here
Sameer Sir one of the best performers in TV industry today, hats off to his acting caliber, an immensely talented actor :)

Agree with what Samir says about long term commitment for TV shows. One day would like to see both Samir Soni and Keerti Nagpure in Silverscreen as leads since they have already won so many hearts with their SINAL jodi. It would be interesting to see them in Big Screen.
Wat Samir said is right...

The guys in the Wanted are showing off a more serious side in their new video for "Show Me Love."
The video, which premiered on Sunday night, is shot entirely in black-and-white and has Max, Siva, Jay, Tom and Nathan spruced up in formal attire performing in an empty theater.
It starts with footage of a couple in the middle of an intense argument as Nathan sits at a piano crooning about a lost love. The video then follows the woman as she roams the city streets in tears, passing other members of the group as she walks. Heavy rain then pours down on all five as the couple says their goodbyes in a less than happy ending.
"Show Me Love" will be featured on their upcoming album Word Out Mouth, which is out in November.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Every American shoudl visit DC. Not just to see how this fine country operates, but also to see the history and the arts and the culture that is abundent on the city on the Potomac.
A trip to the Capital building is absolutely necessary, its a very cool building. Tours go around all the time. I haven't been to the White House, but a tour of that is also a must.
The tall obelisk that is the Washington Monument is the tallest building in the city. Though the line can be long to get in it is well worth it. The views from the top are amazing. The Lincoln and Jefferson memorials are also must sees.
A nice stroll down the mall is also key. Its a great area. The many museums of the Smithsonian must also be visited.
Sure, there are some bad parts to DC, but there are in every city. Other bad thing is the traffic, which DC is notorious for. Stay away from the Beltway, the highway that goes around the city in MD and VA... its one scary road!

I'm on a personal mission to help the American Liver Foundation in the fight against liver disease and I need your help.
As many of you know our daughter, Olivia Kathryn, received a liver transplant on June 24th 2009 at the age of 8 months old. Olivia is now a very energetic and extremely lovable 4 year old little girl. She inspires me everyday, along with driving me nuts with her energizer bunny personality. I wouldn't change a thing about her.
She has touched so many people in her short life and continues to inspire not just me but everyone around her.

We are also adding quite a few other events such as: Selling Team Olivia Ice Cream at the Chill Factor, a car wash and maybe a beef n' beer. Our goal is $10,000 dollars this year so we need lots of events to make that help and we need your support! Please consider joining us for one or even all of our events!

Smashbox Bionic Mascara Reviews
Why did i buy this?i have used smashbox before but never their mascara i hope their others arent this bad it gets SO MUCH goop at the top of the wand and i just clumps at the top :/ — 5 years, 7 months agotheflyinghipy | 4 reviews
Not the usual Smashbox quality!I was so disappointed in this mascara. It clumped right from the tube;left me with thick spider web like lashes and worst of all smudged under my eyes after a few hours. I usually love the quality of Smashbox products but this one is definitely one I won't be purchasing again! — 5 years, 7 months agochris101868 | 10 reviews
Could be better...i liked this mascara because it has a good shade of black but the bad thing was that it smudges and rubs off on your lower lid but it made my lashes voluminious, separated and long. — 5 years, 8 months agokarmencan | 17 reviews
bionicHorrible! Clumpy, uneven distribution mames this mascara as a definate don't. I am very disappointed with this one. — 5 years, 8 months agodhalialily | 1 reviews
Disappointment coming from SmashboxI love most of Smashbox's products, but this was a miss. My lashes did not look any longer and it flakes. As a contact wearer, it irritates my eyes like crazy. The color is very dark, which is the only good thing about this clumpy mascara. — 5 years, 9 months agoShannon5859 | 15 reviews
EhhhI don't hate this mascara...nor do I love it. I use it on my bottom lashes because it doesn't chip for me, only on top if Im going for a super neutral and natural look for that day. It gives me minimal length, and minimal definition. Tip: Remember ladies, TWIST the brush out slowly to get the right amount of product, trust me, works a lot better that way! — 5 years, 9 months agoKatrina_x | 40 reviews
Smashbox Bionic MascaraI tried this mascara two times to make sure it was terrible. It smudges instantly , it does not make lashes look long or thick. I was very disappointed, I love most all of Smashbox's products. — 5 years, 9 months agodebbie75248 | 3 reviews
racoon eyes!I was excited to try this because I love so many of their other products, however I only tried this for one day and had racoon eyes within 2 hours, no rubbing needed. Try L'Oreal beauty tubes instead but it's only good for a month. — 5 years, 9 months agojax777 | 10 reviews
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me...Seriously, I am a product junkie when it comes to mascaras. Given that MOST smashbox products work decently well I decided to give their new mascara a try. What a mistake! Originally I thought I would have to use it once or twice to let the product "age" a little before it started to kick in. NO. This was simply not the case. The mascara is clumpy and dries up too quickly in its' tube. Not worth the money and definitely NOT bionic results. — 5 years, 10 months agotiffie502 | 1 reviews
kinda blahI don't think that crispy lashes are a good thing!!! This $20 mascara gave me great definition and extreme black color... but , i felt like my lashes were about to break when i swiped the pad of my finger across them to dislodge a cat hair from them. I will be returning it tomorrow and getting a a new tube of BadGal... once again it's still the best!! — 5 years, 10 months agoEyesOfTeal | 5 reviews

Dr. Weiner Helps Treat Local Healthcare Problems with CCC Scholarship
CLARKSDALE When cardiologist Dr. Roger Weiner moved to Clarksdale from Philadelphia, PA in 1999, he found that healthcare in the Mississippi Delta, more so than other areas in the country, was sick.
In addition to having a significant number of the population plagued by obesity and heart disease, the Delta, Weiner noted, also suffered from a shortage of doctors and nurses to provide quality care.
And, like a good doctor would, Weiner immediately began treatmentopening his own private practice, getting involved in local government and giving back to the community. A notable part of that treatment included the establishment of the Dr. Roger Weiner Associate Degree and Practical Nursing Scholarship at Coahoma Community College.
Founded in 2007, in the midst of a critical nursing shortage in the Mississippi Delta, the scholarship is available to students enrolled in CCCs Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) and Practical Nursing (PN) programs. Since its inception, the Weiner scholarship has pumped more than a quarter of a million dollars into CCCs ADN and PN programs.
The future of a culture, whether it be in Mississippi, Canada or France is its children. The more opportunity they have for education, the better chances that culture has to succeed, said Weiner. Mississippi, for a lot of different reasons, has not afforded its children the maximum opportunity to succeed. They have not had access to good education or health care and I thought, with this scholarship, I could kill two birds with one stone. I can give young people the opportunity to get educated, get them into a job thatll give back to the community by improving healthcare through nursing and spread the word to other young men and women to get into nursing.
As a doctor, Weiner knows first-hand the importance of having quality nurses.
The frontline of healthcare is the quality of your nurses. A doctors evaluation or care plan is only as good as the nurses on the front line, he said. One of the weaknesses I saw here was the sparsity of nurses and the lack of specialty training, so I thought (the scholarship) was, over time, a way to get a new generation of young people interested in nursing and a way too eventually improve the quality of care here in the Mississippi Delta.
In addition to running his own successful private practice, Weiner is also member of the Coahoma County Board of Supervisors. He donates his full-salary from the position to help fund the scholarship.
PN students heavily rely on the scholarship to pay for summer school tuition and program expenses needed to complete their degrees. In 2012 and 2013, graduates of CCCs PN program had 100 percent of their summer tuition paid through the Weiner scholarship, and, due to an enrollment increase, 61 percent in 2014.
Its a big help for students because a Pell Grant isnt offered for our summer courses, said Beverly Overton, CCCs Director of Health Sciences. Were so grateful for Dr. Weiner and applaud him for his generosity and support.
During the 2014 PN pinning ceremony last month, Overton presented Weiner with a plaque, commemorating him for his outstanding contributions to CCC. Students applauded Weiner and thanked him for his contributions.
It helped me out tremendously because otherwise I wouldnt have been able to afford summer school to finish up my final semester, said recent CCC PN graduate Renita Hoskins of Clarksdale. Dr. Weiner is really a Godsend. Its good to know that there are people in the community willing to help others.
PN graduate Melinda Pugh of Sumner said the Weiner scholarship was not only a big help financially, but emotionally as well when completing her degree.
When youre in nursing school its hard to go to work and go to school so a lot of us depended on financial aid. Since financial aid wasnt available during the summer semester, it was an awesome feeling to be awarded the Weiner scholarship, said Pugh. Being in nursing school is difficult enough, so that took a lot off of us mentally. If we hadnt received the scholarship then it wouldve been more difficult to concentrate on assignments, wondering how you would pay for school. Were so appreciative of (Dr. Weiner).
CCC President Dr. Valmadge Towner also expressed gratitude for Weiners continued support of CCCs nursing programs.
"In my opinion, true living is using your life to help others," said Towner. "Dr. Weiner's unselfish gesture of helping our students is an example of how one person can positively impact the lives of others. It is fitting that he is from the Philadelphia, PA area which is noted as the city of brotherly love."
Weiner said he finds contentment in knowing hes playing a role in helping CCC students, who, in turn, can help nurse the Deltas health care to a good condition.
Unless youre a cast of stone it has to make you feel good, said Weiner. Its virtually the same type of feeling that drove me into medicine. When you make people better theres an incredible amount of self-fulfillment. Its a similar situation. When you know that people otherwise wouldnt be afforded the opportunity, and you can give them that opportunity, its a very gratifying experience.

TOWN AND COUNTRY, Missouri—A former police officer has filed a lawsuit after she says she was sexually harassed for about a decade while working at the Town and Country Police Department.
In the lawsuit, Shannon Woolsey describes the Town and Country Police Department as a frat house. She said during her time she was made to feel unwelcome and inferior.
Woolsey said male officers frequently talked about sex, strippers and pornography. She says she was even asked her to perform sex acts.
Woolsey said some of the harassment came from her supervisors as well.
She also said when confidential complaints got out it led to retaliation from her fellow officers, a male-dominated squad.
"If it's your supervisor who you report to, then who are you going to report to," asked Woolsey. "And when you're retaliated against in the past, where do you go from there?"
Woolsey wants a jury to hear her case. She's asking for at least $2,500 in damages.
No one from the police department was allowed to comment on the story.
News 4 attempted to contact the department's attorney, but all calls went unanswered.

Yet still another website is doing a post on the prospect of U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers getting the No. 2 spot on the GOP national ticket this fall. This time it's Human Events, Powerful Conservative Voices.
It has the standard bio information that's familiar to most Spin Control readers, or at least the ones in our main readership area of the Inland Northwest. It talks about her spot in House Republican leadership. It also suggests the whole thing was "conceived in cyberspace", being first mentioned online, then picked up in print in Washington, D.C., news outlets.
It also contains the standard "it's an honor to be considered or even mentioned" comment that is de rigeur for any potential veep candidate at this stage. What it doesn't ask — or at least answer in print — is, "Have you talked to Mitt Romney about this?"
Which seems a logical question, considering McMorris Rodgers is the Washington state chairwoman for the Romney campaign, and Mitt was in the state just last week in advance of the precinct caucuses.
Spin Control did ask that question on Saturday night, in discussing Romney's win in Washington with McMorris Rodgers. The answer: No, they haven't talked about it at all.
Which is about what you'd expect, considering that it is March.
So let's start a new meme: HBO's movie about the 2008 campaign, "Game Change", has Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin. If McMorris Rodgers is selected as the GOP vice presidential candidate, and the 2012 campaign is made into a movie, who will be cast as Cathy?

President Obama at Governor Dayton's request has declared 18 Minnesota counties a federal disaster area following severe storms and flash flooding that hit a wide swath of the state in June. The declaration makes federal money available to cities and counties to repair roads, bridges, parks and public buildings. The Public Safety Department's Doug Neville says that the presidential declaration does *not* include individual disaster assistance. The federal government will cover 75% of the cost and the state and/or local governments must pick up the rest. There's no word yet on whether Governor Dayton will call the legislature into special session to address that. Local counties included in the declaration include McLeod and Sibley.

CSS JMFA extend partnership
Permanent link
MADISON, Wis. (3/10/10)--CUNA Strategic Services (CSS) Inc. has expanded its agreement with John M. Floyd & Associates (JMFA) of Baytown, Texas, which will provide credit unions with a program to enhance their bottom line by improving their contracts for processing and technology services. JMFA Contract Optimizer provides advice on areas such as pricing, service, support and conditions related to contracts for:
* ATM/debit card processing; * Core data processing; * Credit card processing; * Check vendors; * Telecommunications; * Image/item processing; and * Internet banking.
As part of the agreement, JMFA Contract Optimizer will be available to all credit unions and will be integrated into CSS's VendorTrack product. VendorTrack provides credit unions with a secure, centralized repository to manage third-party relationships and due diligence documents. "This service is a valuable addition to the products CUNA Strategic Services offers its member credit unions," said CSS Senior Vice President Wes Millar. "With the vendor resources provided by VendorTrack and JMFA's expertise in contract negotiations, credit unions will be able to make better-informed decisions when looking for the best service at the best price. This is especially relevant in today's business environment." Many credit unions dealing with economic challenges are looking to improve their bottom line without further budget cuts or additional member fees, according to John M. Floyd, chairman/CEO of JMFA. "With our knowledge of the industry and its ever-changing climate, we can help credit unions optimize savings for their products and services," he said. Floyd explained that by analyzing the terms and costs of a credit union's current contracts, JMFA's experts discover areas of savings and improved service. They take that information and determine benchmarks for the existing vendors to meet to maintain a contract. The initial analysis is free, representing a savings of $1,500 to $2,500 over competing contract consultant fees. Since 2003, JMFA Contract Optimizer has had a 98% success rate, saving financial institutions more than $24 million by lowering the cost of contracts while improving the level of services received.

Gila announces charge-off recovery collection services for CUs
Permanent link
AUSTIN, Texas (3/10/10)--Gila Corp., through its business unit Gila Group, announced that it has expanded its service offerings into charge-off recovery collection services. Gila Group's contingency collection model is an alternative to selling debt, according to Jason Schmer, vice president of client development (
March 6). Some credit unions, because of the poor economy, have experienced a declining net income and net worth. The absence of a recovery post charge-off impacts credit unions' performance, Gila said. Gila Group was founded to manage collections for credit unions and financial institutions. The company offers outsourced collections, payment processing and call center services.

MORE THAN 1,000 NEW RESIDENTS EVERY DAY help make Texas an economic powerhouse but these new Texans don't bring any roads with them.
Abbott Plan Would Add $4 Billion to Road Funding
A month after being elected to serve as the next Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott stepped forward December 8 to stand firm on his campaign plan to make additional funding for highways a top priority. He indicated he will press the Legislature to advance proposals that would add as much as $4 billion more a year to highway funding through a combination of sources including oil and gas production fees authorized by Prop 1, dedicating an estimated $2 billion a year from vehicle sales taxes, and ending the practice of using fuel tax revenues for purposes other than highway construction, maintenance and policing. [Read More]
Abbott Backing More Money for Highways
Texas Governor-Elect Greg Abbott made investing more revenue in transportation projects a major theme of his successful bid to lead Texas. He stressed that Texas needs a permanent source of additional transportation funding and that better transportation infrastructure is critical to the state's economy. He campaigned in favor of dedicating a substantial portion of the state's motor vehicle sales tax revenues to highway funding and signaled to lawmakers that he would back them in advancing this major changing in funding. [Read More]
Constitutional Amendment A Big First Step
Much more needs to be done to fill the highway funding gap in Texas even after voters gave 80% support to the Prop 1 constitutional amendment. The Transportation Advocates of Texas offer a special thanks to Sen. Robert Nichols and Rep. Joe Pickett for their tireless work on behalf of the amendment and to all Texans for passing the ballot measure. TAoT and its member organizations will be asking state lawmakers in the upcoming session to approve additional new, long-term, sustainable funding sources to fill the remaining funding gap faced by the state as Texas tries to keep up with continuing growth and aging roads and bridges. [Read More]
Texas Editorial Boards Say "Yes" to Prop 1
Newspaper editorial boards across Texas are urging the state's voters to vote for the highway funding constitutional amendment of the November 4th General Election Ballot. Proposition 1 is the only proposition on this year's statewide ballot. In some counties the item is listed as "Proposition 1" and in others it is simply "Proposed Constitutional Amendment." One newspaper called Prop 1 a critical step in meeting the state highway funding gap. Another recommended voters to support Prop 1 without hesitation. Several papers called on members of the Legislature to find the rest of the funding that is needed to keep up with population and industrial growth, increased freight traffic and aging roads and bridges. [Read More]
Weber Sees Big Needs in the Texas Oil Patch
The new head of the Texas Department of Transportation says that the state is falling further and further behind in the Permian Basin and South Texas counties where oil and gas drilling is intense. Lt. Gen. Joe Weber (Ret.) met with members of the Transportation Advocates of Texas in September. He said energy companies are telling him that the current shale oil and gas revolution could last for decades. He said TxDOT is trying to figure out what the policy should be on maintaining and rebuilding roads never intended for the pounding they are now taking. He said that as far as he is concerned the policy will not be gravel roads. [Read More]
Most Congested Roadway Rankings Expanded
The list of Most Congested Roadways in Texas for 2014 is out and this year it has been expanded to include more than just "Big City" congestion. There are really no surprises on the Big City list -- not much has changed on those sometimes gridlocked freeways that kill time and waste fuel. What originally began as the list of Texas' 100 Most Congested Roadways now provides a variety of congestion measures on 1,783 roadway sections spread over 25 urban regions. The expanded annual ranking gives Texans in smaller cities a look at problem roadways in their areas, regardless of how they compare to Big-City bottlenecks. [Read More]
East Texas Leaders Sound Road Funding Alarm
State Senator Kevin Eltife says members of the Legislature should stop running up debt and find the new revenue that is needed to build and preserve the state's highway system. He was on a panel with Transportation Commission Member Jeff Austin III and Move Texas Forward's Scott Haywood. The Longview News-Journal reports on Eltife's straightforward comments that fundamental challenges created by booming growth are going unmet. [Read More]
TAB: Texas Needs More Money for Highways
The Texas Association of Business takes the Texas highway funding crisis seriously. They have offered their take on the problem and the impact of Proposition 1 on the funding shortfall of more than $5 billion a year. Read the TAB commentary here. [Read More]
Congress Hits Trust Fund Snooze Button Again
Congress has approved another short-term fix for the Highway Trust Fund for the fifth time in the past eight years. The $11 billion package sets aside only enough money to finance transportation projects until May. Revenues from federal fuel taxes have not kept up with projects costs for more than a decade, forcing Congress to come up with funding from other sources. Federal fuel taxes per gallon are fixed and have not been raised since 1993. Proposals to raise additional federal transportation revenue from transportation users continue to lack lawmaker support. [Read More]
Pickett: Gasoline Tax a Mystery to Public
Rep. Joe Pickett, chairman of the House Select Transportation Committee, met with members of the Transportation Advocates of Texas in July and talked about what he has learned while crisscrossing the state talking to groups of Texans. He finds that most people who have no background in highway funding assume that the tax on gasoline is a moving number that goes up and down with the price of fuel instead of being fixed at 20 cents per gallon as it has been since 1991. Pickett said transportation finance has become so complex and convoluted that even local officials who need to understand and make decisions find it too hard to make sense of. [Read More]
Delisi: Passing Proposition 1 Is Not Enough
Former Texas Transportation Commission Chairman Deirdre Delisi provides her perspective on federal and state highway funding. She writes that simply passing Proposition 1 is not enough to address our transportation challenges. She urges the Legislature to give TxDOT clear goals and the resources and authority to meet them. Read her whole piece here. [Read More]
Speaker Straus: Let's End Highway Fund Diversions
Texas House Speaker Joe Straus met with members of the Transportation Advocates of Texas and pledged to help chip away at the growing shortfall in funding for Texas highways. Straus said he thinks it is essential to end diversions from the State Highway Fund that go to non-road building. Getting that off the table will allow the Legislature to address the much larger transportation funding needs that are the result of our success in economic growth and population growth in recent years. He also joined TAoT in backing the Proposition 1 Highway Funding Amendment that will go to the voters in November. He repeated an earlier warning about the wisdom of relying too much on volatile energy prices for long-term transportation funding. [Read More]
TTI Updates Texas Gas Tax Facts
A few years ago State Rep. Joe Pickett of El Paso, one of the most articulate advocates of Texas highways and former chairman of the House Transportation Committee, decided to take on the job of designing a simple fact sheet explaining the gasoline tax in Texas. With information provided by the authoritative Texas A&M Transportation Institute he has produced a 2014 version that explains how the tax impacts families and how the static 20-cent per gallon fee is failing to meet the state's growing needs. We'll show you all the elements of what is popularly known as Pickett's Placemat. [See or Download Fact Sheet]
Committees Will Assess Funding Crisis
House Speaker Joe Straus has named the nine members of the House Select Transportation Committee and named Rep. Joe Pickett as chairman. A similar select committee has been appointed in the Senate and is chaired by Senator Robert Nichols. The committees will report back to the Legislature later this year with an assessment of existing highway funding and recommendations on how the state should deal with a serious shortfall. [Read More]
More on the Shift to Local Funding of Highways
Shifting the burden of paying part of the cost of state highway projects to local governments has been underway for at least a decade. Events are converging to speed this "devolution" of responsibility. The Austin American-Stateman's Ben Wear helps track the history of how we arrived at this place. [Read More]
Most Texans Would Pay More for Better Highways
Another poll has confirmed that Texans are willing to pay additional taxes and fees to have highways and roads that are well maintained and help them get to their destination safely, without undue delay and with minimal frustration. The poll found that 64% said they are willing to pay more to repair and improve highways and bridges and 57% said they are willing to pay more to add needed highway capacity. On the other hand Texans like the highways they depend on -- only 15% said they were unsatisfied with the quality of our highways and roads. [Read More]
Cost of Doing Nothing Higher Than You Think
Underfunding highways costs Texans more, not less. Texans are paying with their time, safety and pocketbooks. There are large, real hidden costs that don't get talked about enough. They are absorbed by everyone. They are the cost of doing nothing about transportation funding. A&M's Texas Transportation Institute says motorists in urban Texas are spending on average 37 hours extra in traffic delays every year. The Cost of Doing Nothing is high. Texas community leaders and businesses are uniting to send a message to members of the Legislature that it is time to invest in highways again. [Read More]

Selling a nearly new enrober for the Perfect 44 lb tempering machine. I have had it for a few years but have only used it a few times. It is in perfect condition, (no pun intended). My business just ended up going in a different direction and I don't have much use for it.
