Why was the Votebox closed?
All responses
I would like to know this too. And what is happening with all the suggestions from it?
We are unable to add all hundreds of requested features and, each time we add a new one, it can give you a false impression that we ignore all others which is certainly not the case.
In addition, we must continue to be very prudent about what we add to our apps and software– this way, we can ensure that Todoist remains a beautifully designed and easy-to-use app which is the reason most of our users choose it as their preferred to-do list.
That said, we have not deleted the contents of the Votebox, we have it in our database and we'll continue improving Todoist based on your past and future requests.
Best regards,
That is really a very bad descission! I think the votebox is the best instrument to improve Todist. Off course there were many suggestions but they all were priorised. I'm premium user till october and now this is a big con to extend my premium plan. It forces me to look for alternatives. Actually you ignore these suggestion and with the current descission you are going to hide all the users demants documentet in the votebox!
All the valuable suggestions to improve todoist - step by step are hidden ... that is realy sad!
I have to second the notion that disabling Votebox is a poor choice.
It sends the message that you don't want to hear what's important to your customers RIGHT NOW, and believe me, I have now heard that message loud and clear. Had I known that you were moving in that direction, I do not believe I would have signed up for a premium account, and I will likely examine the available options and move on when I identify it. I always prefer to deal with companies which are open to customer input in an organized fashion.
Most businesses that effectively use Votebox and its ilk make it clear that it's an advisory system and no guarantee is made that any particular feature will be implemented, or that any that are implemented will be done in order of popularity.
We have not changed anything about the way we develop. We are still taking your suggestions, your complaints and incorporating that into what we do next. We just simply do not have a public location dedicated to this.
I understand this. However, I find it disturbing that the team somehow thinks tracking a system for customer improvements that is basically random email and forum posts is a better idea than something which can be used to gather information in a more automated fashion and potentially allows for better analysis of the data gathered.
I'm sure you had reasons for this, but the message it SENDS is negative and takes a way a level of transparency, which is a very poor customer message.
I'm a premium member currently. I'm not throwing a tantrum and closing my account unless I find a better option, but I WILL look, since I feel that my trust has been weakened. Perception is everything in marketing. You've injured that perception.
Agree with all the folks above.
NirvanaHQ did the exact same thing. They were awesome listeners of their users, and then once they had a finished product, they closed down their entire discussion forums. People left in droves, many jumping to Todoist even (including me).
Now I see the same thing happening here. Who's to believe that you will not close down this forum as well, and expect to provide support just via email?
Not that you would, bust just saying. That's the kind of questions such an action raises.
Folks who participate in this forum, and voted in the votebox, are your most vociferous users who help spread Todoist by word of mouth. They love the attention they get, and feel part of the development process by voting. They write great things about Todoist in forums and websites.
Attempts to alienate them by such actions is not a good move.
I've made suggestions and drawed ways how it could be implemented since I'm using Todoist. All in a constructive way. Now, this is like a slap in my face :-(
Agree with all the above. It was really nice feature which helped a lot understanding future road map and that your voice as a client matters.
My recommendation to this issue:
- Open a page with a roadmap
- Add the most requested features ordered by users demand
- priorise bugfixes at the top
When these roadmap is fixed consider to reopen the votebox while creating a new roadmap.
With that you'll get back the transparancy wich is very importend.
A shame it doesn't work anymore. Where are we supposed to post suggestions now?
Hello Anna,
You're welcome to continue sending your suggestions to us directly using this Support section :-)
Best regards,
Honestly, I absolutely can't understand that decision. I think that this is really wrong and after waiting for month to be able to filter projects and tracking the (non existing) progress via the votebox, I'm now convinced that my premium membership I signed up for in January was a fault.
I agree with Markus' idea of a public roadmap. At least we know where ToDoist is going.
As for the Votebox, it was a poor decision to remove it, but from my experience, I didn't think ToDoist was even using that forum to decide features. So whether it's there or not, I expect no change in the way ToDoist operates.
This poor decision definitely sends the message that the items at the top of the votebox aren't what Todoist is looking to add to their product. This tells me that despite coming back to Todoist after looking at other products, it is probably time to move on once again. Todoist is STILL lacking some basic, high-voted features (sorting by Project, Evernote integration, etc.) and the removal of the votebox tells me I'm not going to see these items anytime soon.
The removal of the Votebox very clearly discourages user feedback, because who is going to shoot off an email every time we think of something we'd like to see in Todoist? It was much easier to simply vote for something someone else submitted to the Votebox. This decision is really, really discouraging.
so I guess todoist is basically "finished" and we won't see basic functions like filtering with projects?
I second Markus Nordhaus's suggestion.
I just joined premium this month, this is quite disappointed.
If the Votebox is too overwhelming, I would not mind you guys say no to even popular feature requests or resetting all votes and deleting inactive requests after each major release.
Yep, I agree that not having any customer transparency/Roadmap is a bad idea IMHO (although I can understand closing the Votebox, to focus your efforts).
"... this way, we can ensure that Todoist remains a beautifully designed and easy-to-use app which is the reason most of our users choose it as their preferred to-do list."
If this is the true reason, then I fully support your decision. We need a fast, easy to use, simple but still powerful and reliable application. That's what todoist is right now. Like most other people, I'd also like to see a couple of improvements/upgrades - but not at the expense of sacrificing some of the core advantages. Let's just remember the recent problem when many users could not log in for a whole day etc... There are certain clear priorities and I feel confident that the todoist group (still) has the right "instinct" for addressing the most important features first. Keep up the good work!
I agree with the roadmap idea. Are there any plans for this? I think it would remedy the disappointment that many users feel associated with Votebox closing, and would give us an idea of what to expect.
Hello Maya,
We're not planning to provide a roadmap and we never did. The Votebox also wasn't a clear roadmap as sometimes we had to add a feature with less votes before one with more votes if it was technically more reasonable to do so, other times we could add something that wasn't suggested per se and we always work from one feature to another.
That is - once one is added, we're them back to the "drawing board" to see when next feature we will add based on multiple factors - user feedback being a strong one, but not the only one. The only thing that has always been and will continue to be on our roadmap is to keep things simple, useful and yet powerful :-)
Best regards,
I work in an agile software environment so I very much understand that requirements can change frequently, and, with the exception of companies using the dated waterfall approach, it's nearly impossible to have a long-term roadmap available for users.
However, I'm wondering why it's not possible to have essentially a "coming up next" list - that is, features that are in the current iteration, so you pretty much know they will be going in. I think it would give users something to look forward to when they can at least see what is coming in the immediate future, even if the long-term is too fluid to provide as public knowledge. Is the reason because "bug fixes" (which are critical for software quality but often less valued by end users) is often what is next and is discouraging for users to see (as opposed to new features)? Or is there some other reason?
It's the same reason - there have been features which we began to work on, but had to stop. They've been added later, sometimes after a few other features, sometimes a month later, a week etc. We also always want to focus on quality first so any estimated deadline we'd give wouldn't even be true as sometimes it would take a week more for a new feature to work correctly, sometimes a month during which something else would be added along the way.
Technology evolves very fast nowadays and we must evolve with it - either adapt to new solutions certain platforms offer as they update or support new platforms or ways which you use to connect. This can and will always influence deadlines, plans and roadmaps. That said, you can always expect great new features, post your ideas, let us know what you like and what you don't like and we'll keep improving offering you great positive surprises each time a feature is ready for release :-)
Best regards,
This is a sad development in a negative direction. Been away for a while, huge disappointment in Wundercrap 3 promo video, saw ALL mine and many critical postings many with perfectly valid points deleted from their forums until only "shiny happy" praise was left, and thought to myself, "Screw this, I'll go back to Todoist - at least they, unlike Wunderclowns and Notvana, listen to their users and develop according to feedback."
Now I come back to find votebox deleted, with replies like "we develop according to many factors, user feedback being just one of them."
You fail to realize your open ears was the simply the strongest feature of your "system with simple but powerful features".
Good luck.
New developments ≠ renew subscription.
Yep, Adrian, hit the nail on the head.
Hello Adrian,
Our ears remain open as they always were, there will be no changes in the development process of Todoist at all and no changes in our desire to listen to your feedback which you can send us 24/7 and we'll read and reply to it. We will not delete it if it's negative.
Best regards,
At least a road map of upcoming features wouldn't be hard to provide?
Just like when the Votebox was there, we still can't provide such roadmaps now for reasons mentioned in my previous replies to Maya in this thread :-(
Best regards,
One of the reasons I think Trello is so successful is that they are very public about what they're working on. Their Development board, the one the staff use to track progress, tasks, implementations, etc. is PUBLIC. Anyone can see it, and anyone with a Trello account can comment, vote, etc. The board, so you can see → https://trello.com/b/nC8QJJoZ/trello-development
It's factually incorrect to say your development process isn't going to change when you take away the biggest form of user feedback, unless you never looked at it in the first place. It WILL change because you WILL NOT get as much feedback from users. Trello is as successful as it is because the developers are constantly working with the users to provide the best product they can, and having their developers constantly in talks with the users makes the user feel powerful and invested. Now we have no way to feel like we're helping make Todoist. We're just users with no voice, stuck with whatever you guys think is best while we have been clamoring for years on very highly voted items that you still haven't implemented. This, plus you saying "your development process won't change" tells me you guys never looked at the Votebox in the first place. It's the only thing that fits.
We're very sorry to hear that you feel this way :-( Nonetheless, we will still continue to listen to your feedback and improve Todoist.
Best regards,
+1 for Devon!! :-!
Nonetheless, always stay sensitive to what paying customers have to say. You have a great product, don't waste it. (+1) :-/
Votebox was the one of several features that drive me to buy premium account. I thought that if you guys take that kind of feedback seriously your app will improve constantly in direction that pleased your customers.
Nobody of your competitors had this tool in that time and now you haven't. So sad.
I too liked the votebox. I read several discussion threads and learned some very nice tips from other users, especially when there was some debate about adding new features. Overall, it was a constructive tool in more ways than one.
Not satisfied with your decision to disable the votebox.
This was one of the main reasons, why I changed from RTM to Todoist. Because of the very active community and my double vote as a premium member!
How many comments in just over a month, and there seems only rhetoric coming from TDI.
Guys - rhetoric aint gonna fly, you've got to walk your talk.
Having had a read maybe ToDoIst shall reconsider its decision. Once there is a ToDo-App that is capable of doing a few things right ToDoist is going to lose a bunch of customers - even though I love ToDoIst :-S
How about setting up our own votebox (e.g. uservoice) and forwarding our votes to todoist? I am serious about taking more influence in the current development work ;-)
Also not satisfied with your decision to disable the votebox
I would like to access my votebox suggestions. Where did the data go??
I undestand that it's not as easy as people think to implement new features. It's not all about coding, not about having as many features as possible, but having a solid, well thought product - and so far you did a great job, obviously.
However, those arguments have nothing to do with shutting down the votebox. It's only a tool to estimate how many people would like a feature. You certainly won't count all those +1 in this forum manually. You stated, that Todoist is all about a simple yet powerful system - why does collecting feature requests not follow this guideline?
I also see, why you don't want to give us a roadmap. However, I think you misunderstand the need for this 'feature'. We don't want to know, what features will be included in the next release. We just want to know, what the *status* of feature requests is. Most features are 'under consideration' - this just means, that we don't even know, whether you will ever implement it. Other features are already planned, but not yet implemented. Just like the GCal real time synchronization. You stated, that it's about "when" not "if" - and that's enough for me. It's the staying in the dark about other features that makes people leave (or not join in the first place). You are afraid, that people start complaining, if you promise a feature, and it won't be implemented in the next release - but that is already happening. Many people complained about your karma improvement. Not because it's bad, but because more important features are still missing.
So this is my suggestion: rethink the way you handle feature development and the communication with your (paying) customers. Instead of stating that you cannot do something (like showing a roadmap), find out what people really ask for and consider alternative solutions that make everyone happy. A well designed product is important and it takes time, but right now you convey a feeling, that your product is more important than your customers (probably justifying it with the idea, that a great product will draw more customers, which sounds like a paradox to me). And that's what really bothers most people here.
Darek, you wrote great! Thank you for this meaningfull comment. I support you.
@Darek: you nailed it. Kudos for you.
I really hope that the folks at Todoist pay attention to it and reconsider the violent destruction of the votebox.
@Darek, I totally agree. My premium membership is about to come up for renewal, and a very popular feature I had suggested to the vote box still hasn't shown up in development. And now that they've taken away the vote box, it makes it very obvious that they just don't want people seeing that they're neglecting features that people have been asking for for years. I don't know if I should renew.
Sadly ToDoIst staff has not replied to the latest posts - just another indication that they are not willing to reconsider their thoughts.
I read your explanation above, but I can't understand why it's esier for you to collect our improvements and tips by individual threats, instead of by votebox. I really liked this feature.
I understand that you can't implement all the features we would like to see, but by using the votebox you could see which features are most popular so you could focus on the threats making the most people happy.
I would like to see the votebox back ;)
Severely disappointed in the removal of the Votebox and the way Todoist has handled this issue. If they won't meet this simple and well-argumented request for restoring this feature, then how can we expect Todoist to do any of the other improvements we would like to see? Sounds to me like Todoist is trying to avoid comments on their behavior (https://reddit.com/145fby) and user supervision on how their money is used, while they implement even more new karma systems and no serious features.
Reducing my app ratings and reconsidering my pro-account ...
Also agree with Darek. Well stated. For these reasons (lack of communication with users and focus on "fancy" features like karma and location based reminders instead of basic tools like sorting or filtering) I am one more premium user who will not be renewing my subscription.
As I say in many of my posts here - there is so much I love about Todoist, I keep checking back, hoping for encouragement that they will implement features that allow Todoist to meet my needs. Unfortunately, so far I am not encouraged that this will be the case.
I was looking for the votebox and instead found this post.
This is rather disappointing and sad. Nobody ever thought the votebox was your official todo list. But it was certainly a way for you to dialog with your users.
I understand from this decision that you want to stabilize your product and that you don't want to develop "big new features".
You should have consider the idea of offering an "advance mode" to your power users, instead of rejecting everything that doesn't fit in a "minimalist" user interface.
I'll keep my eyes open on your competition. Todoist is indeed very simple, but it also lacks several important features that would simplify my life.
And yes, I know it's a old thread, but I was not voteboxing regularly.
Not for nothing, but it's really something to see the number of Todoist Karma Masters on this thread. We are clearly people that are using the product regularly, and are likely to be evangelists for it. I don't know why this is a group you'd ignore.
I cannot agree more with all the people above.
Its more than a year now since votebox is closed, and product look like it started to stagnate.
Time to look for alternatives.
No significant changes for a while. No idea whether the things I'm crying out for are wanted by others anymore. No (visible) promise of changes to provide these anymore. Time to find a service that already provides them or visibly promises them soon.
I say it about my job, I say it about politics, I say it about providers of services and products I consume: transparency and communication is absolutely key to good customer relationships. Looks like ours is soon to be over.
Agreed Tom. I wanted to see what kind of features Todoist was releasing, so I went back to their blog for the last 3 years and looked at all their announcements about features. The results are revealing:
Take a look.
I encourage everyone who feels this way (that Todoist does not listen to their customers, etc.) to spread the word. As long as Todoist keeps luring people in with their slick interface, there is no reason for them to listen to users and add features. I really would like to see Todoist become awesome - but until they listen to users, that's not happening.
+1 for a return to having some form of visible Votebox.

Nobel Peace Prize Winner Fired in Bangladesh
Central bank of Bangladesh fired Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, managing director of Grameen Bank, a bank he founded 30 years ago, for allegations related to "irregularities" committed in the operations of the bank.Ad not set – click and set me here…
Yunus, 70, has been praised at home and elsewhere for being one of the best campaigners against poverty.
His dismissal comes at the end of an increasingly campaign led by Sheikh Hasina's government for the last past months directed against the Nobel Prize winner.
It is expected that this gesture should prejudice the poor of the country and have "terrible consequences" on their lives.
Another attempt to oust him had been made on Monday during the board meeting of Grameen Bank.
The motive was that he had broken the local law by demanding mandatory retirement at 60 years.
It is expected that the bid to sack Yunus from office will be rejected by the board of the bank and that it may take it to courts.
The reason that seems to be underlying the claim to oust him was his age. The minister of finance has accused him of being "too old."
Supporters of Yunus said that the government wants to take control of the project that could have major political impact of lending through the bank money to the most deprived of the country.
The Grameen Bank, who lends more than 8 million families in the country, has a 25% stake from the government, and is immensely popular.11

Dave Vissat
Artist Dave Vissat spends his days as a creative director for a Pittsburgh advertising agency. But for the last ten years, he has spent his nights creating one-of-a-kind birdhouses out of vintage books.
Vissat stumbled upon this idea when he was making a birdhouse for his mother. He ran out of wood, so he resorted to using an old book as a roof. Then he began incorporating interesting text and illustrations as well. Now, Vissat searches and scavenges flea markets and libraries for discarded and vintage books, then he scans the cover, makes a print and affixes it to the exterior of the house.

Weekly Updates
You will notice a new page this week - Figure Skating! Only one year and one DVD so far. More are coming. Promise.
Most of the updates for the last several weeks have been of the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. If you notice on the "source" column, most of these are listed as "rough". That means I have taken these straight from the tapes without any editing for commercials or sports. When I recorded these in 1992, I had one TV and one recorder. When I got the triplecast, I was recording as much as I could all day long. The triplecast was a gift from a friend and her request was for all the equestrian event. So equestrian came first and everything else came after. Some of the tapes during NBC's primetime coverage went back and forth between NBC and the Triplecast. Someday I hope to edit all these tapes according to sport; putting all the gymnastics together and editing between the NBC coverage and the Triplecast coverage. Not today, though.

Family camping without the tent!
Come enjoy our Adirondack cabin rentals. We have lakeside cabin lodging rentals. Our family-oriented NY Adirondack cabin rentals are located on a quiet mountain lake – off the beaten path in two of New York's most spectacular recreation areas — the Adirondack Park and Lake Champlain Valley.
Our camping-oriented cabin accommodations feature private docks and spectacular lake and mountain views. Available for weekly rentals (June – September), all cabins are either two- or three-bedroom; have a kitchenette equipped with range, refrigerator, dishes and cooking utensils; a bathroom with a hot shower; a campfire ring; a picnic table; and a charcoal grill.
The cabins are situated on eight wooded acres featuring a private sandy beach and swim area.

Locally compact group
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (March 2011)
In mathematics, a locally compact group is a topological group G for which the underlying topology is locally compact and Hausdorff. Locally compact groups are important because many examples of groups that arise throughout mathematics are locally compact and such groups have a natural measure called the Haar measure. This allows one to define integrals of Borel measurable functions on G so that standard analysis notions such as the Fourier transform and spaces can be generalized.
Many of the results of finite group representation theory are proved by averaging over the group. For compact groups, modifications of these proofs yields similar results by averaging with respect to the normalized Haar integral. In the general locally compact setting, such techniques need not hold. The resulting theory is a central part of harmonic analysis. The representation theory for locally compact abelian groups is described by Pontryagin duality.
Examples and counterexamples[edit]
- Any compact group is locally compact.
- Any discrete group is locally compact. The theory of locally compact groups therefore encompasses the theory of ordinary groups since any group can be given the discrete topology.
- Lie groups, which are locally Euclidean, are all locally compact groups.
- A Hausdorff topological vector space is locally compact if and only if it is finite-dimensional.
- The additive group of rational numbers Q is not locally compact if given the relative topology as a subset of the real numbers. It is locally compact if given the discrete topology.
- The additive group of p-adic numbers Qp is locally compact for any prime number p.
By homogeneity, local compactness for a topological group need only be checked at the identity. That is, a group G is locally compact if and only if the identity element has a compact neighborhood. It follows that there is a local base of compact neighborhoods at every point.
Every closed subgroup of a locally compact group is locally compact. (The closure condition is necessary as the group of rationals demonstrates.) Conversely, every locally compact subgroup of a Hausdorff group is closed. Every quotient of a locally compact group is locally compact. The product of a family of locally compact groups is locally compact if and only if all but a finite number of factors are actually compact.
Topological groups are always completely regular as topological spaces. Locally compact groups have the stronger property of being normal.
Every locally compact group which is second-countable is metrizable as a topological group (i.e. can be given a left-invariant metric compatible with the topology) and complete.

Testimony of the 108th Congress
Interest on Business Checking Accounts
Mr. Chairman, Ranking member Sanders, members of the Committee, my name is R. Michael Stewart Menzies, Sr., and I am President and CEO of Easton Bank and Trust Company, located in Easton, Maryland. I am also Vice Chairman of the Independent Community Bankers of America's (ICBA)1 Federal Legislation Committee. I am pleased to appear here today on behalf of the 5,000 community banks across the nation that are members of the ICBA to share with you our views on the payment of interest on reserves maintained at Federal Reserve banks, and the repeal of the prohibition of payment of interest on business checking accounts.
Repeal of the Prohibition of the Payment of Interest on Business Checking Accounts
I will first address the issue of interest on business checking accounts. Mr. Chairman, as you know, this issue has been hotly debated among community bankers for several years. Bankers remain divided on whether or not the prohibition on paying interest should be repealed, and there are wide differences of opinion regarding the anticipated effects. Some community banks argue that lifting the prohibition could be very costly in a high interest rate environment and these costs, as all costs of banking, would eventually be passed along to the consumer.
Other bankers argue that remaining competitive is necessary to retain their best business customers. Therefore, lifting the prohibition is a way of increasing economic efficiency, and simplifying business practices. They believe that the current prohibition has been competitively damaging to the banking industry, especially community banking. Brokerage firms and other non-bank competitors will continue to aggressively compete directly with commercial banks to develop and expand small business relationships. They further argue that if the banking industry is not allowed to be competitive in offering interest-bearing commercial checking accounts, community banks may become more vulnerable to losing their most important business deposit and loan customers to non-bank and money center financial services providers that are not constrained by banking prohibitions.
Proposed Alternative
Mr. Chairman, ICBA has neither endorsed nor opposed lifting the prohibition on paying interest on business checking accounts. Rather, we have advocated an alternative that bankers on both sides of the issue tell us they can support. Under this alternative, which is along the lines of H.R. 974 introduced by Congresswoman Kelly, the number of allowable transactions from money market deposit accounts (MMDA) would be increased to 24 per month, from the current limit of 6 per month. This will enable banks to sweep funds between non-interest bearing commercial checking accounts and interest-bearing MMDA accounts on a daily basis. Thus, any bank that chooses to pay interest on a commercial checking account would be able to do so using the "sweep" mechanism at a cost significantly lower than the current alternative re-purchase agreement sweep program. This would create less of a financial burden, and allow community banks to be more competitive.
As you know, the MMDA is a type of savings account that pays interest, and is available to businesses as well as other account holders. However, the law currently allows a maximum of six pre-authorized third-party withdrawals per month. Sweeps are arrangements between depository institutions and business customers that allow the institutions to transfer the businesses' checking account balances out of those accounts each evening, and put them into interest-bearing MMDA accounts. The next morning, the balances are transferred back into the business' checking accounts. Sweeps therefore, give customers the advantage of accumulating interest on their balances when the balances are not in use.
The proposal to amend the law governing MMDA accounts to permit 24 transactions per month is beneficial to both the customer and the bank. It would enable commercial customers to yield a return on the funds they have deposited with the bank, and small businesses would be given access to a sweep product that is otherwise unaffordable. Community banks would remain competitive in providing cash management services to their commercial customers, would be able to pay higher interest rates on small business money market sweep accounts without being forced to pay interest on all commercial checking accounts.
ICBA supports the bill introduced by Congresswoman Kelly, and we urge the Committee to support the proposed compromise. However, should the prohibition on the payment of interest on business checking accounts be repealed, we urge the Committee to build in a transition period of no less than two years to allow financial institutions to unwind long term business arrangements with their commercial customers.
Payment of Interest on Reserves Maintained at Federal Reserve Banks
Let me now move to the proposal to require the Federal Reserve to pay interest on required and excess reserves depository institutions maintain as balances at Federal Reserve Banks, and discuss the impact of this proposal on community banks.
The Federal Reserve is in support of such a requirement and argues that this could induce banks to increase their reserve balances. The Fed has stated that it is concerned that a steady continued decline in reserve balances could impair its ability to execute monetary policy. The reserves at the Fed have dropped significantly in recent years as required reserves have decreased and depository institutions have become more adept at managing their reserve balances.
One of the reasons for this precipitous decline in the reserve balance is that some financial institutions have been able to reduce the amount in their transaction accounts, against which reserves must be maintained, by sweeping funds into non-reservable, interest-bearing instruments at the end of each day. This is a practice that takes place mostly with larger financial institutions, and not smaller financial institutions such as community banks.
Currently, no reserves are required for reservable liabilities under $5.7 million. When taking this into account, many community banks are not required to post substantial reserves, and many community banks can meet their required reserves with vault cash. If a smaller bank has no reserve requirements, or meets them directly through the use of vault cash (including cash at branches and ATM locations), or a combination of vault cash and reserve accounts, they do not stand to benefit directly from this proposal. They would not earn interest on reserves, because either they do not maintain a Fed reserve account or their balance is very small.
Another reason for the decline in reserve levels is the proliferation of deposit options available to bank customers. Customers are diversifying their funds by placing them in IRA's and 401(k)s and purchasing mutual funds, bonds or CDs. The availability of these options, coupled with ready access to these options through the Internet, has contributed to the steady decline in reservable deposits.
This deposit shift has been particularly harmful to community banks that rely on core deposits as their primary source of lendable funds. That is why the ICBA has advocated an increase in deposit insurance coverage levels as a means to keep more funds in local financial institutions for community lending purposes.
Little Benefit for Smaller Banks
So you can see, Mr. Chairman, the interest on reserves proposal would have little, if any, direct monetary benefit for most community banks. Indeed, it is the larger depository institutions that would benefit most from such a proposal. According to a Federal Reserve analysis, almost all of the banks that would receive interest on required reserve balances would be distributed evenly among banks in the top three-fifths, ranked by total deposits, but the dollar payments would be heavily skewed to those banks in the top fifth. These findings were conveyed to our association (then called the Independent Bankers Association of America) in a letter from Donald L. Kohn, director of the Federal Reserve's Division of Monetary Affairs, dated October 21, 1998.2 We wrote to the Federal Reserve to inquire as to whether an analysis had been done to quantify the benefits to large banks versus community banks if legislation allowing the Fed to pay interest on reserves was enacted.
Role of Reserves in Monetary Control
Central to the required reserves issue is the role of reserves in monetary control. We appreciate Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan's concern that if the decline in reserves continues, it could have an effect on the Federal Reserve's ability to implement monetary policy and may have the potential to increase the volatility of the federal funds interest rates. We defer to Chairman Greenspan on this important issue.
In conclusion, legislation to require the payment of interest on reserves maintained at Federal Reserve banks would not benefit community banks directly. However, we understand the importance of the Federal Reserve's concern about maintaining monetary control and the role that the Federal Reserve System provides to our nation's community bankers. Therefore, we do not oppose the proposal to require the Fed to pay interest on sterile reserves.
Thank you for the opportunity to testify on both issues regarding the payment of interest on sterile reserves held at Federal Reserve banks and the issue of the payment of interest on business checking accounts.
ICBA stands ready to work with you on these issues. I look forward to answering any questions you or other Subcommittee members may have.
1ICBA is the primary voice for the nation's community banks, representing 5,000 institutions at more than 17,000 locations nationwide. Community banks are independently owned and operated and are characterized by attention to customer service, lower fees and small business, agricultural and consumer lending. ICBA's members hold more than $511 billion in insured deposits, $624 billion in assets and more than $391 billion in loans for consumers, small businesses and farms. They employ nearly 231,000 citizens in the communities they serve.

Social Security Disability and Proving you Can't Work - Other Work
On this blog, I've spoken many times about the various aspects of the disability process, including both medical and vocational factors such as past work, medical records, the medical vocational allowance, and the social security definition of disability.
Another factor of the social security disability and SSI disability process, however, is a concept known as other work. What is "other work" and how does it play into the disability process? Basically, this way---when you apply for disability (either SSD or SSI), your case has to pass several tests.
The first is that you must have a severe impairment. What is a severe impairment in the eyes of the social security administration? The actual concept of a "severe impairment" is somewhat subjective; however, most individuals who process disability claims would agree that a sprained wrist or sprained ankle would not qualify as a severe impairment, whereas a ruptured disc or a broken limb would. Can you be denied for disability if your condition is judged to be non-severe? Yes, however, denials issued for an NSI (non-severe impairment) are infrequent, simply because most individuals do not file for disability on the basis of minor medical issues.
Having a severe impairment is the first test to pass. If a claimant's condition is judged to be severe, then the next test involves "duration". For the social security administration, this means that a severe impairment must last for at least 12 months. Does this mean that you must be disabled for 12 months before you can apply? No, social security can evaluate your medical records and make a determination as to whether or not your condition will be expected to last 12 months or longer.
A claimant must have a severe impairment and this impairment must last, or be expected to last for, 12 months or longer. But what makes it disabling? In other words, what makes a person qualify for disability. Answer:the inability to perform work.
A person who qualifies for disability will have a severe impairment, lasting not less than a year that A) prevents from working at one of their former jobs and B) prevents them from working at some type of other work.
Many people who explain the disability process tend to stop at this point, because it can get a little confusing. Here's why---the social security definition of disability does not imply that a claimant cannot work. It actually means that, to be considered disabled, a claimant cannot have the ability to work and earn more than a certain threshold of income. That threshold is known as sga, or substantial gainful activity.
So, let's recap. Qualifying for disability means that your impairment must be severe, must last a year or longer, and must prevent you from being able to engage in your past work or some form of other work activity while earning more than a certain minimum monthly amount (sga, mentioned in the prior paragraph).
Now, what is "other work"? Well, first let's define past work. Past work may potentially include any job that you did in the last 15 years (known as "the relevant period"). Other work is potentially any kind of work that you might possibly be able to do anywhere in the national economy, i.e. anywhere in the country.
"Other work" is the step in the process by which many applicants for disability get denied. Why? Because it is often fairly easy to conclude that a claimant is incapable, based on their functional limitations, to go back to their past work. However, it is sometimes even easier to assert that while a claimant cannot do their past work, they can neverthless perform some type of other work (even if those jobs don't exist in your immediate area).
Fortunately, there is a mechanism in the disability process that adds some fairness into the equation. And that mechanism is the grid, a system of vocational rules that affect what types of other work a claimant can be considered capable of doing. These vocational rules take into account a person's age, the types of job skills they have developed over the course of their work history, the specific physical or mental limitations that they possess as a result of their condition, and even (to a small degree) their education level.
Getting a claimant approved on the basis of these rules means getting them a medical vocational allowance. And this means more than simply referring to a claimant's medical evidence. It means having familiarity with the vocational grid rules used by SSA, it means having a knowledge of basic limitiations (for example, the inability to crouch, stoop, maintain balance, concentrate, remember, etc, etc) and how those limitations affect one's work ability, and it also means knowing how point out to an administrative law judge (at a disability hearing) how a claimant's vocational profile and functional limitations make it impossible to engage in past work or other work.
Obviously, "other work" is a step in the disability process where many individuals get denied. However, with proper preparation before a hearing (typically, this means having a competent attorney who specializes in social security disability and SSI cases), a successful argument can be made that a claimant is incapable of performing other work, resulting in an approval of disability benefits.

Jeremy thinks local schools should have been closed Monday.
"I know they have closed school in the past when the weather was much better," he wrote.
Of course, a lot of schools in West Michigan — including all of them in the Tri-Cities area — were closed Tuesday.
I asked the local school superintendents to explain their procedure, and their answers were quite similar:
Dennis Furton, superintendent for Spring Lake Public Schools: "Bus drivers check the roads early. I check them around 5 a.m. We all put our heads together and consult with neighboring districts. The decision is made by me, but with strong input from drivers and (the district's) transportation director. Ultimately, they tell me how a bus will handle the conditions, if kids waiting at stops may be at risk, and what they perceive to be the driving conditions for our student drivers. We err on the side of caution whenever we have questions or concerns."
Keith Konarska, superintendent for Grand Haven Area Public Schools: "We start driving roads at 4 a.m. to check our 100-square-mile district. Lake-effect snow amounts can vary greatly throughout the district. Four of us typically meet at our bus garage after driving different areas before making the call. I typically consult with neighboring districts as well. We always err on the side of caution if it's a close call. (Tuesday) morning, wind chill, visibility and icy roads all played a part in the decision."
Do you have a question for the Tribune? E-mail it to email@example.com, and type MAILBAG in the subject line. Or mail it the old-fashioned way to: Grand Haven Tribune, MAILBAG, 101 N. Third St., Grand Haven, MI 49417. We'll do our best to get you an answer! A new Mailbag appears on grandhaventribune.com at 5 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

I always used to, everyone just assumed they could save your life, so we were all told to wear one. Then when I got back into cycling, I was reading up about how safe it is, and happened across a mention that the evidence that helmets can prevent death is extremely ambiguous. I looked into as many papers as I could find, and discovered that this was true, and in fact there is some evidence that it can worsen injuries due to rotational accelleration, and makes you more likely to hit your head, etc etc... Anyway, I decided to stop kidding myself that a styrofoam hat could save me from a >30mph impact with a car, and started going without. I noticed that I was riding more carefully, and that it was a lot more pleasant, with the wind in my hair and no buckles under my chin.
Anybody else a convert?

I had the privilege of helping some of the truly needy folks in Puerto Penasco by going fishing. Say what? Yes - by going fishing. It was a bona fide combination of fun and community service.
I was fortunate enough to accompany some of our finest "go for the meat" anglers on their monthly harvest from the sea for the disadvantaged. Teach a gringo to fish and he will feed the hungry. I accompanied our American Legion Post Commander Paul Raddatz, MX 15; Post Executive Board member and Rocky Point Times contributor Rob Baylor; and Paul's neighbor Bobby the pilot out to sea.
We were led to the hot spots by our magnificent patron the "fish finder" whose name will not be revealed for fear of overbooking his panga and denying us the opportunity to book it for the best times. When I say "fish finder" I'm serious. I actually got cramps in my hand from reeling them in. To say we caught a "couple hundred" is no fish tale. The pounds of
fish we bagged were just as impressive. We filled the post's freezers, then a couple at Paul's house with the ones that wouldn't fit at the American Legion post. We bag and freeze the fish in portion sizes.
Our American Legion Post MX15 has a list of truly needy folks who we supply with most of the necessities of life and a treat or two once a week. Paul and a helper or two deliver twice a week their packages of life sustaining goodies like beans, rice, vegetables, flour or tortillas, coffee and/or tea and a protein source. The protein source is where our fish fit in. When people's shelves are empty and the tummies are too, the fish fit in nicely. This American Legion program relies solely on donations and the largess of visitors who are going back to the States and have excess food that could spoil, the kids wouldn't eat, or is not allowed. You can only imagine the smiles and goodwill these gifts of food generate. I usually hit up my neighbors as they are packing to go home and get lots of good stuff for the hungry. My father used to say that "If you put a little hunger sauce on it, it will taste pretty good".
If you have any goods to donate to the program please make others happy by stopping by the American Legion Post. We are located on the ground floor of the Los Juanes building, one block up the hill from the Pink Cadillac on Chihuahua. Stop by and have a drink anytime, all are welcome. One need not be a veteran to enjoy the facility and help
us help others. Please stop by.
Back to the fishing stuff. For those who have been restricted to watching the pelicans fly by it's worth the price of fishing to look one of these flying camels in the eye from a couple feet as they float up after their crash landings to mooch fish. Bobby caved in to their pleading and they got some small fish from him for their work. To "Hook up" and help just contact Rob at email@example.com [2]. If you need an excuse to go fishing, just say "See you later, I'm going out to meet some great folks down here and help them do community
service today."

Smooth Sumac
Common Name: Smooth Sumac[1]
Scientific Name: Rhus glabra
Thomas Jefferson lists it as an ornamental native species in his Notes on the State of Virginia.[2]
Smooth Sumac, a native of Eastern North America from Quebec to Georgia, has been in cultivation since the early 17th century. It arrived in Britain around 1726.[3]
Smooth Sumac is a deciduous, North American shrub that forms brilliant scarlet, plume-like fruit clusters on the female plants. The glabrous leaves turn an intense red or orange-red in autumn.
Primary Source References[4]

WASHINGTON, D.C. - MAY 14, 2012 - May is National Bike Month with hundreds of events and thousands of riders celebrating bicycling nationwide, and a growing number of U.S. communities are taking steps to encourage residents to ride all year round - including the City of Charlottesville. On Monday, May14 2012, the League of American Bicyclists announced the latest round of Bicycle Friendly Communities (BFC) and the City of Charlottesville was named a Silver BFC."We are not surprised that this was the largest number of new and renewing applicants that we've ever had," said League President Andy Clarke. "The popularity of this program is clear evidence that investment in bicycling is a major catalyst in creating the kind of vibrant communities people want to live, work and visit. The City of Charlottesville recognizes that simple steps to make bicycling safe and comfortable pay huge dividends in civic, community and economic development."
The BFC program is revolutionizing the way communities evaluate their quality of life, sustainability and transportation networks, while allowing them to benchmark their progress toward improving their bicycle-friendliness. With this impressive round, there are now 214 BFCs in 47 states across America. The Silver BFC award recognizes Charlottesville's commitment to improving conditions for bicycling through investment in bicycling promotion, education programs, infrastructure and pro-bicycling policies.
Some of the recent, innovative projects helping Charlottesville to become more bicycle friendly include the Cville Bike mApp, a collaboration between Bike Charlottesville's Jeff Shirley and TJPDC's Steve Williams and Sarah Rhodes, and the development of Charlottesville's first Neighborhood Greenway.
"The Cville Bike mApp is a bold new approach enabling cyclists to provide direct input to transportation planners about where they bike" explained Sarah Rhodes, TJPDC Transporation Planner. It's actually the first time in the U.S. that data from mobile bike route tracking software will be used to help inform a long range transportation plan. Bike Charlottesville spokesperson Heather Higgins pointed out that "the close working relationship between Bike Charlottesville and TJPDC created the opportunity for this software and planning collaboration."
The other exciting Charlottesville first is the 6th Street Greenway which is presently in development. "Neighborhood Greenways are existing low-traffic residential streets that have been retrofitted into enhanced safe and enjoyable ways to connect the places where we work, live, and play," explained Higgins. Traffic flow is prioritized around bicyclists and pedestrians rather than cars. The 6th Street Greenway, when complete will be Charlottesville's first Neighborhood Greenway. It'll connect Jordan Park to downtown and include the first contra flow bike lane in Charlottesville (6th Street between Garrett St and Monticello Ave).
The BFC program provides a roadmap to building a Bicycle Friendly Community and the application itself has become a rigorous and an educational tool. Since its inception, more then 500 distinct communities have applied and the four levels of the award - platinum, gold, silver and bronze - provide a clear incentive for communities to continuously improve.

Dimensionality and norms of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale in a German general population sample.
In: European Journal of Psychological Assessment, Jg. 24 (2008) ; Nr. 3, S. 190-197
Zeitschriftenaufsatz / Fach: Psychologie
Fakultät für Bildungswissenschaften » Institut für Psychologie
Analyzed the dimensionality of the German version of Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) in a nationally representative population sample of 4,988 subjects (46.4% males; aged 14-92 years). Using confirmatory factor analysis, 1- and 2-dimensional models were tested. Results suggest that the RSES is a 2-dimensional scale comprising the highly correlated components positive and negative self-evaluation, which constitute a unitary construct of global self-esteem at the second-order level. In order to obtain a more conclusive solution, an item response theory (IRT) analysis (partial credit model) was conducted. Results lend support to a 1-dimensional view of the RSES. Furthermore, psychometric properties and norm values based on the representative sample are reported. Analyses revealed extremely high response probabilities for all items, as a consequence of which self-esteem cannot be differentiated at the upper end of the range.

Lost recording of J.R.R. Tolkien reveals true meaning of 'The Lord Of The Rings'
A reel-to-reel tape of J.R.R. Tolkien that was recorded 20 years ago reveals the true meaning of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic 'The Lord Of The Rings'.
It was discovered in 1993 by a Dutchman named Rene van Rossenberg, a Tolkien expert who owns a shop in the Netherlands devoted to all things Middle-earth (TolkienShop.com).
The recording documents the event 'Hobbit Dinner' that took place on March 28th, 1958 in Rotterdam put on by Tolkien's Dutch publisher and a bookseller, the Huffington Post reported.
Recently Jay Johnstone, one of the founders of the fantasy/sci-fi site Legendarium.me, persuaded van Rossenberg who kept it hidden away to share his treasure.
The tape in some way proves that Professor Tolkien was, in fact, the hobbit and it also includes Tolkien revealing the true meaning of 'The Lord of the Rings'.

Massillon can credit a lot of things for its recent successes on the basketball court. One thing that has come to forefront on a number of occasions has been the Tigers' defensive effort.
That defense was on display once again Tuesday night as Massillon paid a visit to Northwest. That effort played a huge role in the Tigers extending their win streak to three with a 56-44 win over the Indians in the new Northwest Fieldhouse.
"What I'm most proud of our kids is how they've bought into defensively winning games," Massillon coach Larry Taylor said. "I can't be more proud of them. ... I couldn't ask for anything more from our kids tonight."
Massillon, which is 10-8, turned up the heat on Northwest, and the result was a game in which the Tigers never trailed after tying the game at 2-2 very early in the contest.
Part of that reason was due to the way Massillon clamped down on Northwest. While the overall numbers don't look like a defensive shutdown — 12 turnovers for the Indians, 16-of-39 shooting — the Tigers managed to never really allow Northwest to find a consistent rhythm.
"When you're coming into their gym, you have to establish yourself defensively," Taylor said. "They're going to play possession basketball, and they're good at it. They kept that game close because they're good at it."
Much of that damage was done in the first half, as the Tigers opened up a 25-19 halftime lead. Northwest committed seven turnovers in half, while shooting just 7-of-22 from the floor.
"You have to be able to put the ball in the hoop," Northwest coach Mike Lower said after his team fell to 9-11. "You have to be able to hit shots. We had some good looks from (3-point range), and our kids need to hit that in order to loosen them up."
Massillon led just 14-12 after Andrew Colon knocked down a 3-pointer for Northwest with 6:42 remaining in the first half. But the Tigers responded with a 9-2 run that allowed them to gain control of the game, essentially for good, with a 23-15 lead on a Jordan Stock basket with 1:57 left until the half.
"We're going to make the runs," Taylor said. "That's what this team can do. They're explosive. They know how to time their runs up."
Stock led all scorers with 18 points for Massillon.
The back-breaking burst for the Tigers came in the early moments of the second half. They came out of the locker room on a 9-2 run, taking a 34-31 lead on a Stock basket with 4:45 remaining in the third quarter.
Northwest had three turnovers in six possessions over that run.
Page 2 of 2 - "They do that," Lower said of Massillon's run. "That's what they thrive on."
Brandon Freeman and Jackson Schultz led Northwest with 11 points each.

The antinuclear exhibition "Everything You Treasure–For a World Free From Nuclear Weapons," a joint initiative by Soka Gakkai International (SGI) and the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), opened on April 23 at the United Nations Office at Geneva during the Second Preparatory Committee for the 2015 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, held from April 22 to May 3.
The exhibition consists of 40 panels covering nuclear weapons issues from 12 perspectives: humanitarian, environmental, medical, economic, human rights, energy, scientific, political, spiritual, gender, generational and security.
Speakers at the opening ceremony were Ambassador of Romania Cornel Feruta, Chair of the 2013 Preparatory Committee; Theresa Hitchens, Director of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR); and Dr. Rebecca Johnson, Co-chair of ICAN. The exhibition was shown through May 9.
During the opening, the results of an international survey on attitudes towards nuclear weapons carried out by youth members of SGI were presented to Ambassador Feruta.
The survey, which covered understanding of the humanitarian consequences of the detonation of a nuclear weapon as well as basic knowledge and attitudes, was conducted between December 2012 and February 2013 by SGI youth in nine countries (Japan, U.S., U.K., Italy, Australia, South Korea, Brazil, Malaysia and Mexico). Respondents were aged between 15 and 45.
According to the results, 91.2% of respondents feel nuclear weapons are inhumane and 80.6% agree that there should be a comprehensive treaty banning these weapons.
However, when asked to list the names of the nuclear-weapons-states, only 72.0% identified the U.S., 55.5% Russia, 42.3% North Korea, and 42.1% China; while not more than 20% listed U.K., France, India, Pakistan or Israel. Younger people generally showed less awareness than their older counterparts. (Click here for a summary of the results and here for full details of the survey responses.) related article Senzatomica--SGI-Italy by Daniele Santi A Senzatomica rally in Milan [© SGI-Italy] In 2009, a group of 10 SGI-Italy youth members met together to study a proposal by SGI President Daisaku Ikeda about building solidarity toward nuclear abolition. Inspired by the proposal, we had the idea of bringing to Italy the SGI nuclear disarmament exhibition "From a Culture of Violence to a Culture of Peace: Toward a World Free From Nuclear Weapo
The survey comes at a time when the international community is starting to focus on the inhumane nature of nuclear weapons as a key factor in efforts to ban them. Ambassador Feruta welcomed the data and stated his expectation that the youth of SGI will continue to promote awareness on this issue.
