The display driver ICs market was estimated to be worth $6 billion in 2013. The market is forecast to shrink by $1 billion, by 2018. One of the major factors behind the drop in market size is the fall in driver IC revenue from large LCD screens.

Ahi Tuna (Yellowfin) Steaks Grilled with a Mediterranean Flair. Yellowfin Tuna or Ahi Tuna is usually served either Raw, as in sushi or Seared. or Grilled. When I first had this tuna grilled in spain with olive oil and salt I couldn't believe it was fish at all. This recipe is a bit of a cross between seared italian style and Spanish grilled.

I am pleased to share with you that CFP Board's Board of Directors (Board) recently adopted a resolution supporting CFP Board's implementation of a new quality improvement initiatives for continuing education (CE), similar to practices utilized by the established professions. The Board also resolved that CFP Board would not enter the CE market as a provider at this time.
The new CE quality improvement initiatives adopted by the Board are modeled on the CE standards and program review processes of the CPA profession, which serve as a benchmark for a profession based on technical accuracy and regulatory compliance. CFP Board's implementation of the program will include a number of short- and long-term initiatives to be implemented over the next three to five years, in partnership with CFP® professionals and CE Sponsors registered with CFP Board. With this plan, CFP Board will:
We will update you as the components of our plan are implemented. Please note that revisions to the registration processes for CE Sponsors and CE Programs will be put in place for the 2015 calendar year; any CE programs your FPA chapter plans to provide in 2014 may be registered through CFP Board's current process.
The Board's resolution is the latest development in CFP Board's review of the CE requirements for CFP® certification. Last year, CFP Board staff and our Council on Education completed a comprehensive review of our CE requirements and developed several recommended revisions, which were released for public comment in August 2012. That public comment period generated a high level of response from CFP® professionals and our other stakeholders, and we appreciate the thoughtful and constructive feedback provided by FPA, its membership and CFP Board's stakeholders during CFP Board's intensive review of our CE requirements.
CE plays an important role in the CFP® certification requirements, as the continuing competency of CFP® professionals is an essential element to protecting the public and earning its trust, and quality CE is the most effective means to ensure ongoing competency. We look forward to working with FPA and your FPA chapter to achieve our goal of increasing the quality of CE by putting in place standards and review processes consistent with those which have proven effective in the established professions.
Kevin R. Keller, CAE
The CFP Board Continuing Education Sponsor Staff is pleased to announce that the 2014
CE Sponsor renewal and 2014 program renewals are now available through CFP
Board's secure online system.
In order to
offer CFP Board-accepted continuing education programs in 2014, your organization
must renew its registration as a 2014 CE Sponsor.
By renewing
with CFP Board as a 2014 CE Sponsor using CFP Board's online system, the CE
Sponsor agrees to all terms and conditions outlined in the Terms and Conditions of CE Sponsor Registration.
At this time, we ask that you consider which programs you may wish to renew. If you
would like to see a list of your programs that are currently considered
'active' in CFP Board's database, follow these steps:
To renew as
a 2014 CE Sponsor and to renew programs, please login to your organization's
secure online account at www.CFP.net/sponsor. Once logged into the account:
If you need
assistance with online registration and program renewals or prefer to pay the
2014 CE Sponsor registration fee and any program renewal fees by check, please
contact the CE Sponsor staff at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you for your support of continuing
education for CFP® professionals. We look forward to working with
you in 2014.
At its November meeting, CFP Board's Board of Directors (Board) reviewed three proposals that were released for public comment earlier in 2012. The Board's decisions regarding each proposal are outlined below.
The Board's decision on each proposal followed the careful review of comments received from our stakeholders. CFP Board appreciates the thoughtful and constructive feedback many in our CFP® professional community provided on the proposed changes.
No Changes to CE Requirements
The Board determined to make no changes to the CE requirements for CFP® certification at this time. The Board passed a resolution calling on the Council on Education (Council) and staff at CFP Board to "study and develop recommendations on the appropriate level of CE to maintain CFP® professionals' competency for the benefit of the public."
CFP Board staff and the Council are now in the process of conducting further research into current practices in CE and addressing comments received by stakeholders. Additional public comments will be sought when proposed changes are developed.
Amendments to Disciplinary Rules Adopted, Effective January 1, 2013
The Board adopted amendments to CFP Board's Disciplinary Rules with an effective date of January 1, 2013.

We are pleased to announce that 2013 CE Sponsor registration and 2013 program renewals will be available on Thursday, October 18, 2012 through CFP Board's secure online system.
In order to offer CFP Board-accepted continuing education programs in 2013, your organization must be an active, registered 2013 CE Sponsor.
By registering with CFP Board as a 2013 CE Sponsor using CFP Board's online system, the CE Sponsor agrees to all terms and conditions outlined in the CE Sponsor Registration Agreement. (Please note there is no need to resubmit the CE Sponsor Agreement; we offer the link for your reference.)
At this time, we ask that you consider which programs you may wish to renew. If you would like to see a list of your programs that are currently considered 'active' in CFP Board's database, follow these steps:
To register as a 2013 CE Sponsor and to renew programs, please login to your organization's secure online account at www.CFP.net/sponsor. Once logged into the account:
If you need assistance with online registration and program renewals or prefer to pay the 2013 CE Sponsor registration fee and any program renewal fees by check, please contact the CE Sponsor staff at email@example.com.
CFP Board recently held a webinar to share the following updates on 2012 CE Sponsor registration, program renewals, and the subject topics accepted for continuing education (CE).
2012 CE Sponsor Registration and Program Renewal
In anticipation of 2012 CE Sponsor registration and program application submission, I am pleased to share that we will use the same submission process as in 2011, and CFP Board plans to open online registration for 2012 CE Sponsor registration in mid-November 2011. As with 2011 CE Sponsor registration, CE Sponsors will be able to confirm their 2012 CE Sponsor registration online using their secure CFP Board account.
CE Sponsors will also be able to renew eligible CE programs for 2012 using their secure, online CFP Board account. As with 2011 program renewals, CE Sponsors will be able to select which CE programs they wish to renew for next year.
An e-mail will be sent to CE Sponsors to announce the specific date on which 2012 online registration and program renewal opens.
2012 Subject Topics Accepted for CE Credit
CFP Board's 2009 comprehensive job task analysis identified new Job Task Domains and Principal Topics. The Job Task Domains serve as the blueprint for the March 2012 and later administrations of the CFP® Certification Examination. The Principal Topics serve as a curricular framework for CFP Board-Registered Programs.
Effective January 1, 2012, CFP Board will accept for CE credit only programs that address subject topics identified in either the lists of Job Task Domains or Principal Topics.
The Job Task Domains and Principal Topics are very similar to the list of subject topics currently accepted for CE credit. Topics related to investments, general principals of financial planning, estate planning, retirement planning and other current topics are all represented in the lists of Job Task Domains and Principal Topics. Topics currently in the "Addendum" of topics accepted for CE credit – including topics related to communications, values, and the like – are also included in the lists of Job Task Domains and Principal Topics.
For 2012, all processes will remain the same for online program application submission, application reviews, confirmation of application acceptance or denial. Due to the similarities of the lists of Job Task Domains or Principal Topics to the current list of subject topics accepted for CE credit, we expect minimal change for CE Sponsors in having program applications submitted to, and reviewed by, CFP Board.
Webinar Recording
CFP Board first shared the updates outlined above during a webinar on October 4, 2011. A recording of the Webinar is now available and can be viewed on CFP Board's YouTube channel. The presentation slides are also available for review.
As we shared with you last March, CFP Board has implemented new program content and instructor eligibility requirements for CFP Board Ethics CE programs that are effective as of October 1, 2011. If you plan to host a CFP Board Ethics CE program, please confirm that the instructor(s) of your program meet the new instructor qualifications.
The instructor of a CFP Board Ethics CE program must:
CFP Board Ethics CE programs conducted by instructors who do not meet these requirements will not be accepted for CFP Board Ethics CE credit.
Individuals who do not meet the instructor eligibility requirements may submit a Policy Exception Request to CFP Board and, if the request is approved, may begin teaching CFP Board Ethics CE programs following notification of that approval. Please note that policy exceptions may be granted in only the rarest of circumstances. CFP Board will not retroactively grant CE credit for a program taught by an instructor who does not meet the eligibility requirements during the time a Policy Exception Request is being reviewed, even if the request is later approved.
CFP Board is launching a pilot program which encourages CFP® professionals to share feedback with CFP Board regarding the continuing education (CE) programs they complete. This new initiative supports CFP Board's work to ensure the availability of quality continuing education programs for CFP® professionals, and we expect it will provide valuable feedback for CE Sponsors serving the CFP® professional community.
CFP® professionals who volunteer to participate in the pilot program review initiative will be asked to provide comments based on their experience with a CFP Board-accepted CE program. Volunteers will receive advance training to ensure they have an accurate understanding of CFP Board's CE requirements and are prepared to provide objective reviews. Feedback will be submitted using a brief, structured form that will help identify how closely aspects of the CE program are aligned with CFP Board's CE requirements.
CE Sponsors will not be pre-identified for a program review. Any program accepted by CFP Board will be eligible for review by a CFP® professional volunteer, and program reviews will be conducted at the discretion of the volunteers.
CFP Board will share the results of the feedback with each CE Sponsor whose programs are reviewed. We expect this program review initiative will allow the opportunity to share positive feedback with CE Sponsors which are found to be conducting programs in accordance with CFP Board's CE requirements. CFP Board will also reach out to CE Sponsors which may need assistance in complying with the CFP Board's CE requirements.
The pilot program will run for six months. Once completed, CFP Board will consider ongoing implementation of this volunteer review effort.
There is no action required of CE Sponsors. We're pleased to share the news of this pilot effort with you. And we look forward to sharing positive feedback with you.
Reminder: CFP Board Ethics CE Sponsor Changes Go Into Effect October 1, 2011
Updated requirements for CFP Board Ethics CE programs take effect on October 1, 2011. All CFP® professionals are required to complete a CFP Board-accepted Ethics CE program every two years as part of their certification renewal. The changes include new learning objectives requirements and instructor eligibility requirements. The CFP Board Ethics CE program changes apply only to CE Sponsors which plan to offer CFP Board-accepted Ethics CE.
This recorded webinar reviews the learning objectives and instructor eligibility requirements for Ethics CE programs in more detail. View the recording
CFP Board's CE Sponsor program will implement updated requirements for Ethics continuing education (CE) programs, effective October 1, 2011. All CFP® professionals are required to complete a CFP Board-accepted Ethics CE program every two years as part of their certification renewal. The Ethics CE program changes apply only to CE Sponsors which plan to offer CFP Board accepted Ethics CE.
The changes include new learning objectives requirements and instructor eligibility requirements, as described below.
Learning Objectives for CFP Board Ethics CE Programs Effective October 1, 2011, Ethics CE programs registered with CFP Board must be designed to accomplish the following required learning objectives.
Upon successful completion of the course, the student should be able to:
Ethics CE programs may go beyond the learning objectives to include additional information specific to CFP Board's ethical standards as outlined in the publication titled Standards of Professional Conduct. However, all Ethics CE programs must, at a minimum, address the required learning objectives.
CFP Board will evaluate the learning objectives every two years to ensure relevance and consistency with CFP Board's ethical standards.
Instructor Requirements for CFP Board Ethics CE Programs
Effective October 1, 2011, instructors of Ethics CE programs registered with CFP Board must meet the following requirements.
The instructor of an Ethics CE program must:
Individuals who do not meet all of the above criteria may submit a Policy Exception Request to CFP Board. The Policy Exception Request is subject to review by CFP Board staff.
All other Ethics CE program requirements remain unchanged, as outlined in the Ethics CE Sponsor Registration Agreement. This includes the requirement that the program focus exclusively on CFP Board's ethical standards.
With the recent implementation of changes to CFP Board's CE Sponsor program, the CE Sponsor team would like to assist you in your transition to the new structure and processes. Based on our contacts with CE Sponsors in the past few months, we've developed a list of tips and reminders we hope will help you as you develop program applications, prepare attendance reports, and more.
The annual CE Sponsor registration fee does not cover any program application fees. All program application submissions incur a program application fee. Application fees are not only for program applications accepted by CFP Board. All program applications take up to 7 business days for review. CFP Board cannot accept a program application if the CE Sponsor has not registered with CFP Board as a 2010 CE Sponsor. Sponsors may check their organization's registration status in their secure, online CFP Board account. (Or, contact the CE Sponsor staff to confirm your organization's 2010 CE Sponsor registration status.) Be sure to notify the CE Sponsor team if your organization is a nonprofit to take advantage of the nonprofit fee structure. Organizations with tax exempt status granted by the government are categorized as nonprofits by CFP Board. Documentation of nonprofit status is required in order to receive nonprofit fee rates. The CE Sponsor team cannot review program information without the submission of a program application. Each program requires a unique program identification number (of your choice). All conference sessions require a separate online program application. Each conference session will be reviewed individually. There is a $25 fee for the manual processing of any applications not submitted through the online form. The $25 fee applies to any program applications received via mail, fax, and/or as a PDF attachment to an e-mail. A program application submitted after a program has been held will incur a $75 late fee. Program applications are reviewed in the order in which they are received. There is no mechanism currently in place to allow for a CE Sponsor's program application to move to the front of the queue. Submit attendance reports only for 'active' programs. The CE Sponsor team cannot process attendance reports for 'inactive' programs and/or for programs which have not yet been accepted by CFP Board. Attendance reports ("batches") are processed based on the information provided by the Sponsor. To ensure timely and accurate processing of your student's record, please be sure all information in the batch report is accurate. All programs must be a minimum of 50-minutes in order to earn 1 hour of CFP Board continuing education credit. Be sure that program content meets CFP Board's topic requirements for continuing education to ensure acceptance of your program application.
CE programs may address topics on CFP Board's list of Job Task Domains or the list of Principal Topics. Programs with content focused on practice management information do not qualify for continuing education credit. CFP Board defines practice management as programs focused on the planning, development and management of a CFP® professional's business operations, including topics such as office management, business model design, budgeting processes, leadership training, and other activities that don't directly contribute to the knowledge, skills and abilities needed for a CFP® professional to provide competent and ethical financial planning to clients. Marketing is a topic excluded by CFP Board for continuing education credit. Software/technology, company-specific, and product-specific discussions are topics excluded by CFP Board for continuing education credit. Keep the CE Sponsor team informed of any contact information changes. This will ensure your company/organization's point of contact is receiving information from the CE Sponsor team. The best way to reach the CE Sponsor team via email is at email@example.com.
For more detailed information regarding the CE Sponsor program, please visit the CE Sponsor section of CFP Board's website. And, please feel free to contact the CE Sponsor staff if we can be of assistance.
New Survey of CFP® Professionals Shows Senior Americans Are Especially Vulnerable to Financial Abuse, Few Report It
To help prevent the use of misleading, fraudulent and deceptive designations and certifications to promote financial services to older Americans, Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (CFP Board) recommended in a comment letter delivered yesterday to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) that the agency create a ratings system for financial certifications and designations.
In support of this and other recommendations to address senior financial exploitations outlined in its comment letter, CFP Board included its Senior Americans Financial Exploitation Survey. The survey found that more than half of the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals who participated have worked with an older client who has been subject to unfair, deceptive or abusive practices in the delivery of financial advice or the sale of financial products.
"Older Americans have already given many years of hard work and dedication – raising families, serving in the military, building businesses – all to become one of our most financially secure generations," said CFP Board CEO Kevin Keller. "This survey reveals the pervasive financial abuse victimizing America's seniors. CFP Board applauds the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for its focus on this problem and urges the Bureau to take prompt action to reduce the use of misleading certifications and designations and to work with other federal and state regulators on legislative and regulatory policies to protect older Americans."
In its letter, CFP Board noted that with more than 140 designations currently in use in the delivery of financial services, "senior investors are particularly vulnerable to confusion about professional designations and certifications." As CFP Board highlighted, financial designations vary significantly and investors have no meaningful way of comparing their legitimacy, value or authenticity. With no federal or consistent state regulation or oversight of certifications and designations, Americans – especially seniors – are left on their own to sort through the alphabet soup of letters at the end of a financial professional's name.
CFP Board urged the CFPB to take practical steps to reduce the misleading use of certifications and designations. Specifically, CFP Board recommended that the CFPB:
CFP Board suggested that CFPB could use the standards upon which the CFP® certification is based – an accredited certification program that requires substantial education and experience, a fair, valid and reliable exam that measures competencies for the standard of practice, continuing education required to maintain competencies, high professional and ethical standards, and a rigorous enforcement process that includes revocation of the certification, evidence that revocation is implemented, and public notice of disciplinary actions – as the model for the types of criteria that should be used to evaluate financial service designations.
CFP Board also urged the CFPB to support legislative and regulatory reforms to protect older Americans, including to:
"As the Bureau takes much-needed steps toward addressing deceptive and fraudulent financial practices targeting American seniors, CFP Board and its nearly 67,000 CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals hope to serve as valuable partners in the identification and prevention of such abuse," said Keller. "We look forward to working with the CFPB and like-minded organizations to raise awareness of these risks and ensure Americans of all ages receive financial advice from an advisor they can trust."
Survey Highlights
The statistically significant survey was conducted by APCO Insight and includes responses from more than 2,600 CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals regarding their work with older clients who have been targeted for financial fraud and abuse at the hands of a financial advisor. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted with select CFP® professionals to further explore older clients' experiences with questionable financial practices.
About the Survey Methodology
CFP Board developed the survey of U.S.-based CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals with APCO Insight, which administered the online survey from July 24 through August 7, 2012 and 2,649 CFP® professionals participated. The statistically significant survey has a margin of error of 1.9% with a confidence level of 95%. In addition to the quantitative portion of the study, APCO Insight conducted in-depth interviews with CFP® professionals about their experiences with older Americans who have been subject to deceptive, fraudulent or misleading financial practices. A synopsis of these interviews is included in the report.
About CFP Board: The mission of Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. is to benefit the public by granting the CFP® certification and upholding it as the recognized standard of excellence for competent and ethical personal financial planning. The Board of Directors, in furthering CFP Board's mission, acts on behalf of the public, CFP® certificants and other stakeholders. CFP Board owns the certification marks CFP®, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP® (with plaque design) and CFP® (with flame design) in the U.S., which it awards to individuals who successfully complete CFP Board's initial and ongoing certification requirements. CFP Board currently authorizes more than 66,000 individuals to use these marks in the United States.

A few years ago I raised my hand at an auction and bought a box of 19th-century sepia-toned landscape photographs. After hours of looking at them, I detected that they had been taken not far away, in the heart of the Jones Falls Valley in Baltimore City, before an elevated highway and 125 years of development intervened.
The other morning I was standing in the bottom floor of the old cotton warehouse at the Mount Vernon Mill on Falls Road, an amazing property that will make its debut this spring as Mill No. 1, a residential and office complex. Over the past half-year, workers have been performing a construction miracle here. Concrete cutters opened a huge vista in the old warehouse and created a window that overlooks the Jones Falls and its deep hillsides. It was a view — or one close to it — that I'd seen on the 19th-century photos.
I had a revelation that morning as I approached Mill No. 1, which sits at the base of a hill below the Stieff Silver building and another former textile operation known as the Mill Center:
What if this valley could be returned to more of its 19th-century appearance — or was at least decluttered of the city's winter highway salt truck depot and a paving contractor's vehicle yard? Is it time to ask — now that $40 million is going into Mill No. 1, after millions more have been invested into the other ancient stone mills and foundries along the valley, beginning in the mid-1980s — that this remarkable Baltimore neighborhood get some respect from planners and those who make big decisions?
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
I call the valley a neighborhood because it is fast becoming one. The new clerestory atop the Mount Vernon Mill's roof is designed to become apartment kitchens and other living areas. Workers installed a footbridge over the falls last week. It connects the west side with the east side in the rambling and fascinating Mill No. 1 Mount Vernon complex, a place that has the feel of a hillside fortification or minor castle.
I also observed landscapers clearing out invasive plants as they added new trees to the rocky hillside here. Even on a raw January morning, it was not hard to envision the rugged Jones Falls Valley on a May afternoon.
I joked with Joe Palazzi, superintendent with Kinsley builders, and Craig Hoffheins, his assistant, about how on a day later this year we all might be seated at a table at one of the two eating places planned for this mill's waterside cavity. Each will overlook the stream when a restaurateur commits to the spot.
The growth of restaurants in the Jones Falls Valley has been something of a phenomenon. They have followed the residential and office growth here, which you might argue began with the Village of Cross Keys in 1962, itself following the growth of Roland Park, Mount Washington, Hampden, Woodberry, Remington and other neighborhoods.
As the cotton mills closed, their industrial shells found other purposes. I think of the Mill Center and of the Himmelrich family's work at the Mount Washington and Meadow mills, the Manekin-Seawall Development work at the Union (Druid) Mill and developer William Struever's inspired reworking of the Poole and Hunt foundry, now called Clipper Mill. (There's another Clipper Mill that will likely be called Whitehall Mill after future reclamation efforts.)
As this long and twisting neighborhood has taken shape, I've had Daniel Raffle's "haute" dogs on Falls Road, a burger at the Mount Washington Tavern, winter vegetables at Spike Gjerde's Woodberry Kitchen, cauliflower at McCabe's, and the broccoli rabe at Birroteca, a new restaurant that is always mobbed despite being hard to find, even with a map or a GPS system, in an obscure place on the Falls hillside. (One day I'll be turned loose, without guilt, at the Mary Sue candy warehouse complex, also in the valley.)
I like to explore the Jones Falls Valley by starting in the south, at the Baltimore Streetcar Museum, and working my way northward along the curving and overgrown banks. Like so much of Baltimore, it seems untamed and underinvested, but worth the effort.

- Ms. Lu: Meg Rapp will be giving an update on the project at Finance Board at 5:00pm on May 1.
- Program Area Liaison Reports - None.
- Executive/Task Team Reports
- Ms. Lu: I have nothing other than fact that we are trying to map out plans for summer. Once renovation starts, there are a lot of things we need to be ready for. how move patrons lockers how to inform them of changes. Groundbreaking in June.
- Mr. Deakyne: Spenser and Zach will be returning. Ellesse and John are not currently formal voting members. Two voting positions will be open when Patricio and I leave. We hope to have those positions filled and two ex-officio members.
- Chair's Report - None.
- Director's Report
- Ms. Kent: There will be a workshop on electrical systems the week after finals. We are waiting on dates, times and agenda items of more workshops. Following June 2, staging for construction will begin. Parking will be affected. Today, we met with Meg Rapp from Davis Partnership regarding informational displays about the new Rec. There is a new phasing plan available and it looks pretty good. We will get some information about the lastest phasing plan on the website. In the mean time, we are working on gathering information about the changes that are going to be taking place. At one point, the East entrance will close. There is a possibility of the West entrance closing, as well. When we know, the information will go up on the website. Site prep will begin on June 2.
Mr. Finch: Where do we sit on the budget?
Mr. Deakyne: We have not heard, but we are working on keeping changes budget neutral. After we go through Design Development, we have to go through the entire value engineering process again. We will know sometime in May if the pool and tennis courts will be included.
- Facility Requests - None.
- Old Business - None.
- New Business
- Request for limited executive decision power when Rec Board is not in session
- Mr. Deakyne: This will give the Chair, Vice Chair or Director the power to make decisions that are time critical this summer.
Ms. Lu: In the past, this was informally done. It will continue during the ongoing project this summer. We need to be able to plan and make changes to our operation at short notice. When the Board is not in session, we need to have the ability to make decisions.
Ms. Kent: On the program level, we may change seasons and prices for sports. We have to address.
Ms. Lu: Program offering and pricing are subject to change because of the construction. We've asked Rec staff to be creative in trying new programs to make up for things that we can't do. We will have to use our best judgment and benchmarking. This temporary and it is very limited. The approved decisions are the operating decisions specified in this memo. If you want to make broader or narrower, it is up to you.
Mr. Deakyne: We could write this into the bylaws, with application only during construction.
Mr. Finch: I would be hesitant to change bylaws. This is a temporary change.
Mr. Nieto: It could be written into the bylaws for exceptional cases.
Mr. Deakyne: The bylaws that we are creating now are really only the bylaws during construction. They are reviewed on a yearly basis.
Ms. Lu: What is lacking in our case is that the bylaws do not allow executive power. This should be decided on a case-by-case basis.
Mr. Finch: The way this is written says that the Director can make changes without going to the Chair for approval. I suggest that we add language that says if the Chair or Vice Chair cannot be contacted within a certain time, the director can make the decision.
Mr. Deakyne: Also, a clause should be added saying this policy should be reviewed after winter break in January 2014.
Mr. Finch: I just want to make sure that this doesn't become manipulated or used as a tool to bypass student oversight for changing things.
Mr. Deakyne: If a joint decision is made by the Director and Chair or Vice Chair, they should let Rec Board know within 48 hours. We are leaning towards an approval of this memo with the changes next week.
- Bylaw Review
- Mr. Deakyne: Leg. Council is supposed to appoint three people to sit on the Rec Board. To be consistent, they changed their bylaws so that we nominate all six members and all six have to be ratified by Leg. Council. We have to decide how we want to work email voting or whether any vote can be made by email.
Ms. Kent: It is difficult to insure quality conversation via email. Is there a certain level of decision making that can be put to vote via email? If someone says they want to discuss a matter, then we have a discussion.
Mr. Finch: Controversial items have to be discussed by the Board. We could allow proxy email votes if the board can't convene and a decision must be made.
Ms. Kent: New member training needs to be discussed. It is currently loose. There is no formal orientation or training.
- Buff Up The Rec
- Ms. Kent: The drawings that went around are changing again. DRB loved the buffalo shaped pool. But, I did let them know that it needs to go CU presidents office. I made a request Deb Coffin to have a donor wall. Trophy cases need to be talked about.
- Announcements
- Mr. Deakyne: Triathlon team won Nationals. It is their 13th or 16th championship.
- Ms. Kent: $35k raised for cancer research at Relay for Life.
- Mr. Finch: Bruce won the Male Athlete of the Year award.

how much lift are you running? i know on half tons you have to trim away on the body mount on the frame the make the clear if your not running at lest 6 inches. and 2500 you should be good with 4. theirs a new company making them know and their a lot better then the original long arm kit made for these trucks.

And I would also be concerned about not enough lift(3-4 inches) to clear the stock lower mount on the frame with longer arms. My mounts were cut off but im sure some times its close still to hitting whats left of it with my 6". Going to grind flush this winter. Also my tires rub at full lock on the arms. Should just need the frame mount, and the long arms themselves if you already got that lift.

I agree thats what i thought when i saw this setup. My bds kit has shorter upper arms, and i believe its a better setup, even my link bars look much larger then what that kit comes with.

that kit runs .250 thick dom tubing i doubt urs are stronger than that . also running the top arm like that actually flexes better. Only way ur gonna run it better is with a straight up 3 link. with that set up u do run into body mount issues at full stuff if ur less thank 6 inch of lift if i remeber right.

My lift is a 5.5 and has ZERO clearance or "stuffing" issues. I would never buy a kit that had body mount issues like that right out of the box, sure its better if your 6+ inches, but with my 5.5 my rear bumper sits too high to be legal by 3 inches and my center frame is 2 inches from also being illegal. So just to make my kit on my otherwise stock truck legal to run down the road i have to build a new rear bumper thats longer even with my smaller tires. With a 6" with lets say 38's you kit would have "issues" and also not be street legal. Also i prefer my rubber joints because yes i do take it offroad on occasion but rubber are much nicer for the street where this truck spends most of its time anyways. Honestly its the body mount issue that i dont like about that kit, i believe it would be ok on a much larger lift springs like 8" or so to give it all clearance.

glad i dont have those issues running 40's and i street drive mine everyday but colorado really has no lift laws. still though saying that the BDS kit is better than that kit is pretty out there sorry man. that kit will spank BDS and eat it for lunch. It is also all dependant on what you do with ur rig. You wanna flex and crawl around dodge offroads kit is the way to go. unless u build ur own set up as a three link. have fun with ur poly bushings :). Also BDS dont make a 5.5 lift only fab tech does that and they suck ball sack. Got a spacer or something in there? highest they go is a 4.5

Well im happy you like your truck but here in michigan trucks like that arnt ideal for daily driving or towing which is what my truck is for not flexing out, i can count on my one hand how many times my truck has been offroad. And your right i was mistaken that my lift is a 5" LA that is right on bds website installed by my trucks P.O. but i really enjoy it so thats why i chimed in, that and i didnt personally like the dodgeoffroad kit because of the setup and the fact that you would have to run it taller making it less a useful truck, more of an offroad toy. Only thing i want to change on mine is a adjustable tracbar instead of the drop bracket the kit came with but any taller i would hate to drive it everyday.

are .25 wall arms strong enough for a truck that size?
i have seen .25 wall arms bend on jeeps and buggys.
i know we use them harder, but we are much lighter.
i would think .375 would be minimum for a lifted cummins fullsize.
nice looking trucks though! congrats.

Edinburgh cafe - lovecrumbs
The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl blog for some years now and in the last year I read the fantastic book of the same name. Shauna, an Aussie expat living in Scotland, is an entertaining writer and always strikes me as a warm and interesting person. It was a great pleasure to meet up and spend time chewing the fat with her.
E had a carrot cake and an orange, chilli and clove hot chocolate which he said was the best hot chocolate he had ever had. I don't doubt it, even though he had also claimed this the day before when he had ordered a hot chocolate.

Anyway I was saying, I will have to try this cafe. I love the cake Shauna picked (isn't she a sweetie).
Oh my heavens! I'm not normally one for chocolate desserts or hot chocolate, but hot chocolate with rose and cardamom, and chestnut chocolate tart?! I WANT!ReplyDelete
If your photos don't do it full justice, I can only imagine how wonderful it looks in real life. It looks pretty great here, and the vibe and food sound amazing!ReplyDelete
what a fabulous bakery! It makes me want to fly across the atlantic for a visit.ReplyDelete
Johannaaaaaaaa! I'm so glad we got to meet after stalking you all these years ;) Thanks for trekking all that way with bairn and stroller. Really enjoyed meeting all three of you. You have me intrigued by the hot chocolate :)ReplyDelete
Looks like a terrific place and glad you got to meet Shauna.ReplyDelete

Kibbles and bits about the freshly inked classes of recruits of TCU and its opponents:
Air Force is an out-of-state school that flexes the Texas connection better than most of the others. Its 13 Texan signees (caveat: because AFA signees must jump through more than the usual number of hoops actually to enroll at the Academy, its incoming freshman class is not known until fall) are tied with OU for the second biggest class of Texans enrolling elsewhere. Oklahoma State inked 24 Texans. The Falcons also signed six quarterbacks (quite to Gary Patterson's tastes). Tim Jefferson and Connor Dietz are a senior and a junior, respectively, so expect at least a couple of these freshmen to remain quarterbacks in college. Many of the Falcons' commits would have attracted a lot more offers if they had a couple more inches on them. The classic case: QB Dano Graves is a MaxPreps national player of the year, accounting for 85 touchdowns last seasons (good grief!). And he's 5'9″ and got one 1A offer. He took it. (more…)

There is a common misconception that using small claims court is an easy, quick and cheap way of resolving a dispute. The reality is that it is not easy, nor quick, nor cheap.
Although there are many other compelling reasons to use online dispute resolution rather than small claims court, one of the most significant is the cost savings. Even when attorneys are not used, there are simply more costs associated with trying to resolve your dispute in small claims court. It should be noted, however, that it is extremely difficult to provide an accurate cost of going to court since many costs depend on the actions and decisions of the other party and the judge. It also depends on how "cost" is defined. It should be noted that rules and procedures vary by State and specific jurisdiction where your case is heard.
Filing Fees
To file a suit in small claims court, both the plaintiff and the defendant will need to pay a filing fee. The amount varies from about $15 to $200 depending on the jurisdiction as well as the dollar value being claimed. The plaintiff pays to file the statement of claim and the defendant pays to file the statement of defense.
Attorney's Fees
Some jurisdictions do not allow attorneys in small claims court. Even so, since failure to adhere to the court's complicated procedures and technical rules could leave one at a disadvantage, to have the best chance of winning, consulting with an attorney beforehand would be prudent. For a decent attorney you should expect to pay at least $250 per hour and often more. Assuming a two-hour consult, that is at least $500.
Your Time
Time is money. Reading and understanding the rules and procedures, and completing all the forms correctly, often takes longer than one might expect. One example is the requirement in most jurisdictions that certain documents be notarized or signed in front of a person authorized to take oaths and affirmations—typically a lawyer, a court clerk, or a licensed Notary. Assuming you value your time at $40 per hour, disregarding all other out-of-pocket expenses, the cost of your time alone can be seen below:
Time Required
|Filing Suit
(travel to court to file suit and for trial, waiting in line, filling out forms, signing forms in front of a notary)
10 hours
|Supporting Your Case
(collecting evidence, finding witnesses, serving defendant)
4 hours
|Attorney Consultation
2 hours
|Reviewing claim closer to trial
(since the trial will be months after the incident and months after you filed the claim you won't remember the details)
3 hours
|Attending Trial
(You're not given a specific time – you're given a window of time where you must be in court waiting for your case to be heard)
4 hours
23 hours
These costs above do not take in to consideration the additional time that will be required if the defendant does not show up in court on the scheduled day and later asks the court to re-open the case for trial. Nor if the defendant does show up but asks for an adjournment to a later date. In some jurisdictions there also is a mandatory pre-trial hearing or mediation where the parties must meet with a representative of the court to discuss the case and determine whether the issue can be settled without a trial.
Time Off Work
In most instances it will be necessary to attend court during the work week, both to file the initial paperwork and for the trial, and possibly to attend a pre-trial hearing. This requires time off work on two or three days–this could be anywhere from five hours to ten hours. Assuming an hourly wage of $40, that is between $200 and $400 of lost wages.
Formal Notices
When a lawsuit is filed, the defendant must be given formal notice in writing that they are being sued along with all the paperwork and supporting evidence. In most jurisdictions, the plaintiff will have to bear this cost which could be upwards of $30 to $100 for a courier or licensed process server.
Total Cost of Small Claims Court
Based on the assumptions above and depending on the circumstances and the value a person places on their time, litigating a case in small claims court could cost anywhere from $100 to $2,000, if that person is self-represented. If an attorney is retained, it will probably cost at least $2,000 more since it is unlikely an attorney would accept a case for less given the responsibilities and liabilities.
Other Possible Costs and Points of Note
There are other possible costs. They are not typical, but circumstances may dictate they be incurred. For instance, since written witness statements are not usually acceptable in court, if the testimony of a witness is needed, he or she will have to attend the trial and their expenses and a small fee will have to be paid. The other party may also bring a 'motion' for one reason or another that may require another day in court at a later time. In some jurisdictions there is also the slight possibility that at the end of the trial the judge may grant the defendant an appeal which would mean another attendance in court for both parties. It should also be noted that small claims judgments are public information and could appear on your credit report, affecting your credit rating.
eQuibbly offers an alternative to small claims court litigation. eQuibbly offers a simple, private, and cost-effective way for individuals and companies to resolve disputes without the aggravation and expense of litigating in small claims court. A former trial Judge will conduct an arbitration online and after hearing the case, hand down a legally-binding decision that is enforceable in a court of law.

How we get these Future News Predictions
Find out how these predictions will affect you
The question on everybody's mind is when will the real estate market come back? This is the question that has everybody wondering and the answer is that it won't all come back at the same time. You will first start to see building come back. However, not necessarily new houses, but many of the construction projects will be apartments. These apartments will be needed when people continue to lose their homes through foreclosure. More and more people will be losing their jobs and unable to make their mortgage payments. Some will be foreclosed on, but many will just walk away from their houses. They will be lucky if they can afford rent. Real estate prices will not stabilize until the banks get rid of all foreclosed inventory and that could be years. In the meantime, this huge glut of inventory will suppress housing prices even more for mainstream sellers. In order to eliminate the inventory of foreclosures,Continue reading »
