Phoronix: Is OpenSolaris About To Be Forked As Illumos?
There are still a few weeks left before the deadline that demands Oracle appoint a community liaison for their OpenSolaris operating system that is capable of communicating their future intentions to the OpenSolaris community (like where the hell is OpenSolaris 2010.1H) or else the OpenSolaris Governing Board will return control of the community back to Oracle. However, some OpenSolaris community developers have already had enough: they've begun work on a new project...
No announcement yet.

Is OpenSolaris About To Be Forked As Illumos?Tags: None
Solaris will not die. IBM has offically said that they are phasing out AIX to be a Linux company. This is official and outspoken. Hence, AIX will die. On the other hand, there are no plans that Solaris will be killed off.
Larry Ellison said officially he bought Sun to get the two key assets: Java and Solaris. That is why he invested several billion dollars. I dont think he invests billions dollars to get technology, that he later kills? That is bad business, and Larry is not a bad businessman. He is actually one of the richest in the world.
Oracle database runs on Solaris, more than any other OS in enterprise companies. In fact, Solaris is the recommended reference OS to run Oracle database - this was outspoken long before Oracle bought Sun. Solaris and Oracle database plays together extremely well, and as Solaris is for Highend and Linux for Lowend (according to Larry) I dont see why Larry would kill Solaris. He needs Solaris to run Oracle database as good as possible.
OpenSolaris source code will be the basis for next gen Solaris 11, which will probably be announced next month at Oracle Open World. I dont see how Oracle can scrap all OpenSolaris source code, if Oracle wants to release next gen Solaris 11. The OpenSolaris source code is rapidly developed with lots of new exciting functionality, which you can see the checkins in the repository.
Solaris will continue to be the best Unix out there. With ZFS, DTrace, etc it keeps the top spot and magnifies the lead. According to a study from HP just recently, Solaris is the High End Unix most used, and has the "brightest future"

The problem with that is that there are a lot of major customers that have a significant investment in Solaris. These investments come in the form of money, time, and programs that are targeting Solaris. Many of these programs would of been made in-house or through contractors and that sort of thing. Even if they purchased software that runs on Linux migrating over probably would require a re-licensing, which can be very expensive.
And it's not just OSes, it's architectures that are different. They would be designed for a different CPU and would be targeting large machines with a lot of CPUs and whatnot that simply do not exist unless you go to another high-end architecture like you see from IBM or HP.
The cost of migrating away from Solaris and Sparc would be very prohibitive. Linux would require a different architecture and to be cost-effective they would have to port the application to a cluster configuration, which would be extremely expensive for anything that makes heavy use of threads.
I am not saying that is going to happen to everybody, but it's going to require Oracle to support Solaris and Sparc for the foreseeable future pretty much regardless of how much it costs. Don't worry. they will pass those costs to the customer with a hefty premium. Support contracts of this type should be very lucrative for Oracle.
So what they will probably do is continue to improve Solaris in some ways, but nothing significant. They may release new Sparc systems to use up the current hardware IP they have. Then downplay Solaris x86-64 and do what they can to discourage anybody doing anything new with Solaris.
Thus it will die a slow and draw out death over the course of the next decade, or two.

Possibly their tactics is to just do nothing so eventually everyone leaves Solaris so Oracle doesn't have to to officially shut down the project.
Leave a comment:
Oracle seem very confused when it comes to Solaris and OpenSolaris, clearly it isn't a good investment long term, nor short term as they are competing with Linux and their own Unbreakable Linux offering specifically. They will never be able to match in terms of investments and code that produced by the Linux kernel.
It is merely sucking money away from other projects that do bring value to Oracle and the wider Open Source community.
It may be cruel, but it would be best for everyone long term if the project was responsibly dismantled, existing support contracts fulfilled and then entirely disbanded.
A nice start would be to relicense the IP and code they have so it can be ported to Linux which would offer customers a migration path to Unbreakable Linux if adopted upstream.

I would not think about it in terms of 'wise' or not. It's their time and it's their life. If they want to spend their time playing around with Solaris code, then that's fine by me.
On how wise it is or not depends on their goals.
The level of success in terms of market penetration or real-world applicability is probably going to be fairly low.
Leave a comment:
That's not a wise decision. Oracle is working on OpenSolaris project and the community won't be able to survive without Oracle's support. It's a dead project, sorry.

CHICAGO (AP) — Online deals company Groupon says it will buy online retail manager CommerceInterface for an undisclosed amount.
Groupon said Friday that the acquisition of the Salt Lake City-based company will help it manage Groupon Goods, an e-commerce business that sells products from thousands of vendors.
CommerceInterface will no longer work with other customers that will transition to another service over the next six months.
Groupon Inc. pioneered the online daily deals market, offering subscribers deep discounts on everything from spa sessions to toe fungus treatments. To expand its business, and in an attempt to distinguish itself from copycat online deals websites, Groupon has tried to establish itself as a local e-commerce company. It now also sells electronic gadgets and other goods.
Groupon shares rose 3 cents to close at $4.82.

I must be doing something wrong!
Author: Krista
Date: 10/21/2008 2:21 pm EDT
I am trying to install the Avaire tile but I am having a really hard time getting it to "snap" I have yet to get one to snap together as easy as it shows in the video. And I am now on my second row and when I "tap" the second row in place it moves the first! Any suggestions and what am I not doing right?? I have also tried dishsoap but that isnt helping either.

And I just hit another problem. My cupboards arent square. So where it was 1/4in away on one side of my stove, it is about 1/2 in away on the other side.

You've discovered the ugly truth about most construction: walls and cupboards are definitely not square. Not sure I can make specific recommendations other than take lots of measurements and determine the best way to compensate for the out-of-square room.

Is it possible you could "tweak" the position of the entire floor so as to close the gap you speak of? This way, the variance may go unnoticed on the other side of the room.
This type of thing is normal in flooring installation, it happens on most all projects.
Author: Jonathan

Hmmm. It can take a few tiles to get the "hang of it" when snapping together. It sounds like you've already tried the dishsoap trick. The other tip would be to try to "dance" the tiles together by starting on one side, and then "swinging" the other side into place. You'll definitely want to use a tapping block and mallet.
What is the room temperature? As the temperature decreases, the tray edges tend to "stiffen" - however, as long as it is normal room temp, you should be OK.
Regarding the tiles moving, that is normal for the first row or two. I typically stand on the "in-place" tile while tapping the new tile in place. That usually will keep the original tile stationary. Generally, you may need to readjust the floor a bit as you go with the tapping block and mallet.
I'm sorry it isn't snapping together as easily as it looks on the video.

Krista, Jonathan is correct. At times construction isn't as square as we would think it would be and some times things don't go together as well as it shows in videos.
I've installed quite a bit of Avaire tile and have a few jobs that were a little more work to assemble than others but here's a few tips that might help you.
When assembling tiles that are taking a little more effort first I ensure the floor is flat within tolerance, if not the tabs may not align properly, then I use a rubber mallet and a tapping block so I can safely give it a little more of a tap,also what works to avoid the rows from shifting around is to make sure you have it braced against a wall or if you're assembling a section in the middle of the romm , drop in a few 1/4" tile spacers in the joints and this will help lock the rows together untill you have a larger area assembled and then it won't be a problem.
Once you get going you will be fine but if you think you're "still doing something wrong" let me know because chances are I've done the same think wrong already.
Author: Krista
Date: 10/21/2008 11:31 pm EDT
Thanks for the info. It is getting a little easier and some have actually snapped in. I did figure out I need to keep checking to make sure they stay aligned and once I got that it has been alot easier.
I ended up backing the tile up and starting in the center of the room,rather than along the cabinet, to help fix the "not square" issue. The difference from one cabinet to the next on either side of the gap for my stove is 3/4 of an inch! So by cutting each tile I can address the difference in size and it shouldnt be overly noticeable since the cabinets have a slight overhang and I will also be using a rubber kickboard. I guess my biggest obstacle is getting over the "illusion" of it not being straight, when I know it really is and that the cabinets make it appear that way. No one other than me will probably notice anyway!
Thanks again! It really is looking good! I'm excited to get it done! The room in 12 x 14 so its a project!

Motorola offers Nashua a deal on new emergency radiosBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
May 07. 2013 10:26PM
NASHUA - In an effort to upgrade the city's obsolete and non-repairable portable emergency radios, officials are being presented with a proposed $1 million bond.
Bill Mansfield, radio systems manager for the city, approached the aldermanic Budget Review Committee on Tuesday requesting the purchase of nearly 300 new portable radios for all fire and police personnel.
The purchase, if approved by the full Board of Aldermen, would be part of a five-phase plan to remedy the aging radio communication system and existing network infrastructure that is operating on 1990s technology.
While the portable radio purchase was not originally expected to take place in the beginning of the five-year plan, Mansfield explained that an exceptional offer has been presented to the city by Motorola. An undisclosed agency outside of Nashua previously ordered 400 radios and then decided to upgrade to a different device. In response, Motorola reached out to Mansfield to offer the city the portable radios at a savings of about $500,000. About 293 of the 400 available radios will be purchased under the proposal, according to Mansfield, who is asking aldermen to support the initiative.
"That would outfit everyone in police and fire," said Mansfield, adding the radios include compatible speakers, microphones, batteries and chargers.
The recommended $1 million bond - a savings of about 50 percent for the radios - was supported by the aldermanic Budget Review Committee on Tuesday but will still need to be voted on by the full Board of Aldermen.
"This is a substantial savings to the city," said Mansfield, stressing the existing portable radios are about 13 years old. The life expectancy, he said, is around 10 years.
If the purchase is approved by city officials, Mansfield said he has a plan to utilize the old radios, but he would not disclose the idea, other than briefly mentioning the school district. Eventually, however, he said the radios will not operate under the new system.
Alderman David Deane urged Mansfield to find a way to utilize the old radios if feasible.
Overall, the five-year, citywide radio communication plan includes a price tag of just under $10 million.
A few months ago, aldermen approved spending about $1.6 million to implement the first phase of the citywide radio communications upgrade.
There are nearly 1,000 radios, including handheld radios and automobile radios, that are being used by various city departments such as police, fire, public works and schools.
Previously, Mansfield said city dispatchers occasionally lose the ability to receive emergency panic button alerts from firefighters or police officers, forcing them to use backup radio equipment.
Not only is it a danger to firefighters and police but the public as well when communications break down, Mayor Donnalee Lozeau said earlier.
"Our communications system has shut down on about a half a dozen occasions in the past eight months," the mayor said last December.
Phase one includes replacement of the entire radio system network, while phases two through five involve replacing various radio channels and purchasing several new mobile and portable radios.
However, because of the newest offer by Motorola, the portable radio purchase will move up in the five-year plan if approved by aldermen.

Old Fort Niagara reports that two special events scheduled for Thanksgiving week will take visitors back in time 200 years to November 1812 when forts Niagara and George faced each other across a hostile border.
On Nov. 21, 1812, a truce that followed the Battle of Queenston ended and the forts engaged in a vicious, all-day artillery duel that U.S. Army Col. George McFeely described as "the most tremendous cannonading I have ever seen." It was during this bombardment that military wife Betsy Doyle stepped into history by carrying hot shot to a cannon on the roof of the French Castle.
Old Fort Niagara will commemorate the bicentennial of the fight with a special illustrated lecture on Doyle on Wednesday, Nov. 21, at 10 a.m., in the historic site's Visitor Center. Speaker for the program will be Catherine Emerson, Niagara County historian, who recently discovered and documented Mrs. Doyle's fate.
Later in the week, visitors will have the opportunity to join a nocturnal tour of the fort focused on the site's role in the War of 1812. The tour takes place Saturday, Nov. 24, beginning at 7 p.m.
"Visitors will learn about the 1812 battles that took place right in our own backyard," said Robert Emerson, executive director of Old Fort Niagara. "The Niagara region featured very prominently during the War of 1812. So many troops fought in this area that it is estimated that approximately 50 percent of all wartime casualties occurred in this region. Fort Niagara has a very rich history during this period, including five major engagements with Fort George.
"This walking tour will explain in vivid detail Fort Niagara's role during the war from 1812 to 1815. The program will conclude with an explanation of uniforms, gear, and equipment used by the military during this conflict."
To participate in the tour, call 716-745-7611 and reserve your spot. Tickets must be purchased in advance. Price is $20 per person.

Northeast Ohio HDTV Update
NO CW HD YET: Unless we've missed something, it doesn't appear that the Cleveland market's new CW Network affiliate will be airing the network's shows in HDTV with The CW's launch on Monday.
All indications are that Winston Broadcasting's WBNX-TV/55 has been working feverishly on completing its HDTV operation...with the digital permit for WBNX-DT/30 finally being issued a few months ago.
But we have no word that the signal will be on the air soon. We haven't seen WBNX testing its new digital signal, which would certainly be required before going live. And we have no word that the station will attempt to send out a cable-only signal before that.
(We'd assume that if the new over-air signal was coming soon, the station would not attempt a separate cable feed, unless they were going to be using that feed to send the digital signal to local cable operators long-term...)
HD WHEEL: If you've longed to watch "Wheel of Fortune" in HD, you may well be able to do so later this month in Northeast Ohio.
The popular syndicated game show has upgraded its studio and control room, and offers an HDTV version of the show to affiliates starting this season. OMW hears that you could see HD "Wheel" broadcasts on local ABC outlet and "Wheel" affiliate WEWS/5 as soon as September 25th...
HD B-BALL: OMW hears that FOX Sports Net Ohio is preparing to air 20 Cleveland Cavaliers' games in high-definition for the upcoming NBA season.
The cable channel, which recently locked up a new deal to air 70 Cavs games a year, did eight HD games late last season.
HD CLEARER: And OMW also hears that viewers of Youngstown NBC affiliate WFMJ/21's digital signal could get a stronger signal by the end of the month.
The station is readying a power upgrade to WFMJ-DT, which will more than double the current power level when it's completed. WFMJ-DT also carries sister CW network outlet WBCB on a subchannel.
Piedmont CBS affiliate WKBN-DT will still have a stronger signal, but viewers in the eastern part of the Cleveland market should have a better chance at WFMJ's digital signal with the upgrade.
Lagging behind in the Digital TV Signal Wars in the Youngstown market is WYTV/33 (DT 36). The Chelsey Broadcasting ABC affiliate has a fraction of the digital power of its two commercial competitors...and there's no upgrade in the works. But it's far from the first time that WYTV has been third to WKBN and WFMJ...
3 comments:
WFMJ is actually in DTV construction mode as we speak. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=444987&page=19&pp=30
I know last nite between 5-8PM WBCB is off the local cable system so my guess is that it had to do with the work going on there.
Any word on Dish Network getting locals in HD?
I've been receiving WKBN-DT 24/7 here in Parma! I hopt that WFMJ-DT's power boost will help that signal hit my antenna as well. Too bad that WYTV-DT does not also up their power. Of all the major network affilliates ABC and NBC have the most pre-emptions here in the Cleveland market (if I ever see another prime-time Matlock...) so it's a welcome situation to be able to get the Y'town stations here in the shadow of the Cleveland antenna farm :D

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Authorities will try to determine Saturday what caused two barges to break free on the Arkansas River in downtown Little Rock, prompting state police to shut down five bridges until inspectors determined that damage to two of them wasn't terribly serious.
The runaway barges struck the Interstate 30 bridge that connects the downtowns of Little Rock and North Little Rock on Friday night and also hit the Clinton Pedestrian Bridge, part of the cities' riverfront trail system.
"Out of an abundance of caution, the state police decided to close the highways," said Danny Straessle, a spokesman for the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department. Two spans carrying city streets and another pedestrian also were closed after the towboat operator notified state police that he feared he had struck the bridges.
The bridges were closed for about an hour, snarling traffic along the interstate and in the River Market entertainment district on the south bank of the river.
Bill Marlow, a highway department bridge inspector, said he noted damage to a pier protection berm beneath the I-30 span but determined that the bridge itself was not harmed. A pier protector beneath a pedestrian bridge near the Clinton Presidential Library also was struck.
"They did what they were supposed to do," Marlow said.
The towboat operator caught up with the barges downstream and pushed them into the river bank before they threatened the Interstate 440 bridge about five miles downstream.
The barges got loose at around 8:30 p.m., well after the evening rush.
No injuries were reported.
Typically three or four towboats go through the city daily, according to Gene Higginbotham, the executive director of the Arkansas Waterways Commission. He said typical river traffic on a Friday night would be recreational boaters, but a small-craft advisory was posted at the North Little Rock boat ramp, leaving social traffic lighter than usual.
Battalion Chief Roger Robinson of the North Little Rock Fire Department said the barges were carrying coal, wheat and fly ash, a waste product from burning coal. The Federal Highway Administration says fly ash can be used in concrete.
Robinson said the towboat operator and another operator had wrangled the barges and were working to reconnect them to the tow, and could not be reached for comment.

CARSON, Calif. – Just more than a month after being traded to the Galaxy, Pablo Mastroeni will return to Colorado, a place where he spent 12 years as a star with the Colorado Rapids. Originally acquired to add depth to the Galaxy midfield, the 36-year-old may arrive at Dick's Sporting Goods Park as a starter given the club's recent rash of injuries.
Mastroeni made his first start—and fifth appearance— for the Galaxy on Saturday in their 2-1 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC as LA were forced to shuffle players in midfield due to Robbie Rogers' right hamstring injury. Paired in central midfield with Juninho against the Whitecaps, the veteran was efficient in a holding role as he completed 38 of his 45 passes, two of which led directly to scoring opportunities while repeatedly breaking up Vancouver's forays up field. He also went close to opening his Galaxy goal account in the 56th minute, blazing a shot over the bar from just inside the area.
"I think that from organizational standpoint, we balanced each other out. Me holding more allowed Juninho to get forward and Marcelo [Sarvas] to do his thing as well," said Mastroeni of his performance before admitting that he's steadily become more match fit in his time with LA. "We really made it hard for their midfielders to get a good flow in the game. We did a good job in keeping the pressure on their backline and I think that was allowed us to get numbers forward."
READ: Pablo Mastroeni feels that he's gained a new spark playing for the Galaxy
LA head coach Bruce Arena was among those who were impressed with his showing against Vancouver.
"It's taken him a little time to get in form and he still needs a little time, but he's an experienced player. He's worked well in the center of midfield with our team," said Arena. "Hopefully, we can keep moving him forward. [Against Vancouver] he kept things simple, organized, and communicated well [in the midfield]."
With Rogers still a question mark for Saturday's match, Mastroeni is ready to reprise his role, if need be.
"I feel good. I'm ready to go if called upon," Mastroeni added. "This is one of the reasons that I'm sure Bruce brought me in is to fill in when players are injured and a gap needs to be filled. I look forward to the opportunity to play."
No matter where he's stationed on the field, returning to Dick's Sporting Goods Park will be emotional for Mastroeni, who spent 12 years with the Rapids. One of the club's great talismans, Mastroeni captained Colorado to their lone MLS Cup title in 2010 while accruing franchise records in both games (225) and minutes played (18,669).
When his name is announced on Saturday over the loudspeakers in Commerce City, he doesn't know what the reaction from the Rapids faithful will be, but he does hold his memories in Colorado in high esteem—even if the Galaxy "feels like home" to him now.
"My favorite part of Colorado besides the players that I was in the trenches with all those years and the organization were the fans that came out in crazy weather to support the team,' he said. "Who knows how I'll be received, but there were a lot of fun memories in Dick's Sporting Goods Park. [However,] I'm not really focused on any of that. I'm just taking it day to day and seeing what comes."
READ: LA Galaxy hope Pablo Mastroeni can provide leadership and quality to his new team
While Mastroeni has been living in "duffle bags" since coming to Los Angeles, his family remains in Colorado as they look to sell their home and permanently make the move to Southern California.
Although the distance is trying on the 36-year-old, he remains in touch with his wife Kelly and their two children, eight-year-old son Luca and six-year-old daughter Giuliana, through FaceTime video-messaging.
"We do it in the mornings and we do it at night, it doesn't fill the void, but it's as close as you can get while you're going through this transition period," said Mastroeni. "You can perceive it to be a negative in life or you can learn and be grateful. Obviously, when they get here, I'll definitely be more plugged in than in the past, realizing how important they are to me."
With plenty of family and friends in the stands on Saturday, there will be no escaping the excitement surrounding Mastroeni at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, but he admits that "once the whistle blows, all that stuff flies out the window."
"I just think that it is great to go back to a place that I've been for 12 years and get a result at a crucial point in the season," said Mastroeni. "I'll be playing in front of a lot of people that are close to me. It's a special game, but looking at it from my perspective, it's a big game because what it means to this club."

Atlanta . . . At two separate forums, Thursday, November 14, Bernice A. King, chief executive officer of The King Center called for "human dignity" for aspiring immigrants and "financial dignity" for disadvantaged people worldwide.
Bernice A. King joined Vice President Joe Biden, at The King Center for a naturalization ceremony for over 100 immigrants to America. Ms. King urged the adoption of "humane immigration reform" that insures that all aspiring immigrants "are treated with respect and dignity, and have a path to citizenship." Ms. King added that "naturalization is fundamentally about human dignity, which was also a central concern of the American Civil Rights Movement led by Martin Luther King, Jr."
She said that "I have always felt that terms like "illegal aliens" and "illegals" are dehumanizing insults that are unworthy of a great and compassionate democracy. No human being is "illegal" or "alien" because we are all God's children. Our country must have humane immigration reform that insures that all people who come to this nation are treated with respect and dignity, and have access to a path to citizenship."
At the second forum, "The 2013 Hope Global Financial Dignity Summit," Ms. King served as a panelist of the Closing Conversation Session, and said that "financial dignity and financial literacy" were "core components of stability and security for all people, regardless of race, income or social station in life." Also on the panel with Ms. King were: H.R.H. Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, grandson of the King Olav V of Norway, who presented the Nobel Prize for Peace to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1964; Ambassador Andrew Young, Chairman of The Andrew Young Foundation, who was a top aide to Dr. King; John Hope Bryant, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Operation HOPE, Inc.; and the panel moderator Ms. Soledad O'Brien, journalist and CEO Starfish Media Group.
Ms. King commended Operation Hope for providing "visionary leadership in educating people about the fundamental importance of financial security for families all over the world." She also added that, "in order to build the Beloved Community envisioned by her father, Martin Luther King, Jr., "it is absolutely critical that we educate young people all over the world about the strategies for building financial security for their families."

This is a nice story: a couple in Baghdad named their baby "George Bush" "to show their appreciation for U.S. efforts to force Saddam Hussein out of power."
On the other hand, we have this: "U.S. Miscalculated Security for Iraq." That's the headline not in the New York Times, but in the Washington Times. And the story appears to be based not on leaks by Democratic moles buried in the bureaucracy, but on statements by top Administration spokesmen:
"Top Bush administration officials grudgingly acknowledge that their post-Saddam Hussein plan for rebuilding Iraq has been substantially flawed on the security front. Some defense officials said privately in interviews that the plan in place for security after Baghdad's fall has been an utter failure. They said it failed to predict any significant resistance from Saddam loyalists, much less the deadly combination of Ba'athist holdouts and foreign terrorists preying daily on American troops.
"'Every briefing on postwar Iraq I attended never mentioned any of this,' said a civilian policy adviser."
Ouch. The Administration always seems to think that it will get points for candor. It won't. The administation has now stipulated that it bungled post-war Iraq, and that its policy is a failure. Whether that is true or not is, in my opinion, highly debatable. I don't think things in Iraq are going too badly, and I think the casualties there are amazingly low. But for the administration to announce publicly that it never occurred to them that there could be post-war resistance to an American occupation is ridiculous.

Orthodox Christians of San Diego Gather to Celebrate Triumph of Orthodoxy
On Sunday, March 8, 2009, Eastern Orthodox Christians from a dozen parishes in San Diego and Riverside counties filled St. George Serbian Orthodox Church—one of San Diego's architectural and iconographic jewels—to celebrate "The Triumph of Orthodoxy" in a Vesper service.
"I've dreamed of this day for fifteen years!" exclaimed Fr. Jon Braun, priest Emeritus of St. Anthony Antiochian parish in La Jolla. While the Orthodox parishes in San Diego have been celebrating this feast day together for many years, it has been sparsely attended in the past and this was the first time in several decades that a Pan-Orthodox choir sang the responses for the city-wide Vesper service. The chorus of 40 singers from nine different parishes was organized and conducted by Valerie Yova, Music Director of St. Anthony's Antiochian Orthodox Church. Ms. Yova is a Founder and former Artistic Director of the Orthodox Christian Chorale of Detroit, Past President of the Pan-Orthodox Society for the Advancement of Liturgical Music and graduate of New England Conservatory. "For a number of reasons, the timing seemed right to begin a pan-Orthodox music ministry here in San Diego, and I'm very grateful to the clergy here for giving us their enthusiastic blessing! We have so much to gain from coming together to share our knowledge and traditions! Not just the musicians, but ALL of us." stated Yova.
The music chosen for the service was a colorful tapestry of the many cultures that brought Eastern Orthodox Christianity to this country in the 19th and 20th centuries. The responses and hymns included four-part choral arrangements and 2-part chant settings in English based on the musical traditions of Greece, the Middle East, Romania, Serbia, the Ukraine, Russia, Bulgaria, and the United States. The congregation was invited and encouraged to join in singing the refrains of the Psalm verses and many of the other responses and hymns, and they did so with gusto!
The very gracious acoustics of St. George church, along with the exquisite mosaic iconography that covers every inch of its walls, made for an experience that Orthodox Christians here will be talking about for some time to come. Nina McDonald, a recent convert to Orthodoxy, a journalist and resident of Imperial Beach, CA, was overwhelmed by her first Sunday of Orthodoxy experience. "I could not take my eyes off the icons—the whole inside of the church shimmered. It really seemed as if the walls melted away and we were surrounded by angels and saints—all of us—the WHOLE church-- worshipping together. And the choir! They truly sounded angelic, so powerful and majestic, yet still intimate and sweet."
For we "cradle" Orthodox and those of us who are veterans of Sunday of Orthodoxy services—the good, the mediocre and the chaotic—it is refreshing, heart-warming and inspiring for us to hear from those who had to work a little harder to find and adopt the Faith that we sometimes take for granted. McDonald added, "This really brought the Orthodox experience home for me; how Orthodoxy ministers to our whole person—body, soul and spirit—one's entire being is caught up in worship."
Fr. George Morelli, President of the Eastern Orthodox Clergy Conference of San Diego, is an enthusiastic supporter of pan-Orthodox cooperation, and the clergy have initiated or blessed a number of new projects in San Diego this year. "The working together of this pan-Orthodox Christian Choir to bring about the beauty of the Sunday of Orthodoxy Vesper service is not only a reflection of the "Beauty" that is God, but to His "Goodness" and "Truthfulness" as well. This is a cry to all to fulfill the priestly prayer of Jesus that "they may be one, even as we are one." (Jn 17:11).
Many of those who were present for the San Diego con-celebration expressed the desire to come together more often as an Orthodox community, and so the clergy and musicians in San Diego are exploring ways to make that happen in the near future.

Fully Equipped Villas near Atlantic Ocean
There aren't many places where you can legally speed, but Myrtle Beach Speedway is one of them. During the three-hour driving experience from NASCAR Racing Experience, you'll get to burn rubber on the half-mile NASCAR track in a car driven by current NASCAR drivers, communicating with spotter via radio while participating in five-minute timed sessions. Drivers take home a souvenir racing license and graduate certificate. Or, during a ride-along experience, you can sit shotgun as an experienced driver zooms around the track for three laps.
During the NASCAR getaway, you'll stay at the oceanfront Kingston Resorts, located at the north end of Myrtle Beach, just minutes from the ocean. You can take advantage of the oceanfront Splash! water park, equipped with pools, water slides, spray features, and a lazy river. The tennis facilities include five hard and four clay courts, and the 50,000-square-foot Sport & Health Club boasts an indoor lap pool.
Kingston Resorts' villas spread out across the verdant tree-dotted property; some offer lakefront views, and others look out on the park. Each accommodation comes with a fully equipped kitchen, a washer and dryer, and at least two televisions.
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina: Sandy Beaches, Seaside Golf Courses, and Classic Amusement-Park Rides
Myrtle Beach is the crown jewel of South Carolina's Grand Strand, a 60-mile stretch of white, sandy beaches along the Atlantic seaboard that draws surfers, fishers, and kayakers. The city was named one of the best vacation spots in the United States for a family by USA Today, in part because of its wooden boardwalk, which stretches for more than a mile and buzzes with carnival games and amusement-park rides. Hop into the SkyWheel Ferris wheel's glass-floored gondolas, surrounded by more than a million LED lights, for a panoramic view of the city below.
Less than 20 miles south of Myrtle Beach, the tiny fishing village of Murrells Inlet provides a tranquil contrast to the boardwalk's hustle and bustle. At Brookgreen Gardens, more than 1,400 original sculptures stand amid sprawling floral gardens and massive, moss-covered oak trees that have been around for centuries. Murrells Inlet is also home to the Tom Fazio–designed TPC Myrtle Beach golf course, 1 of more than 100 courses in the area that helped Myrtle Beach earn its title as the seaside golf capital of the world.

Hooksett, Manchester seek agreement with mediator to settle school disputeBy BENJAMIN C. KLEIN
Union Leader Correspondent
July 05. 2013 8:50PM
HOOKSETT — After being ordered by a judge to engage in mediation sessions regarding the Manchester School District's injunction claim against the Hooksett School District, officials from both sides said they hope the sessions will result in a compromise.
During a hearing Monday in Hillsborough County North Superior Court, Judge Gillian L. Abramson decided that instead of hearing Manchester's injunction claim against Hooksett, the two sides would engage in two mediative sessions with former judge Robert E.K. Morrill on July 12 and 24.
"It is good we are finally sitting down to discuss this. We have been trying to talk to them for six months, but it took a court to force us to do it," Hooksett School Board Chairman Trish Korkosz said.
If no agreement is made by the end of the second session, Hooksett Superintendent of Schools Charles Littlefield said Judge Abramson would hear Manchester's injunction claim on July 29.
Korkosz said the two districts have not had any official communication since late last year, roughly around the same time Hooksett filed a breach claim with the state Department of Education in an effort to get its high school students out of Manchester high schools in 2016, due to issues including classroom overcrowding.
While saying that everything will be on the table during the mediation sessions, including Hooksett's breach claim, Korkosz cautioned that the breach claim is beyond the scope of the court.
"That will have to be discussed before the state Department of Education," she said.
Manchester Schools Superintendent Debra Livingston said that she would not comment on the reasoning behind the district's injunction claim, but did say it was her hope the sessions would result in a solution.
"They filed the injunction claim to stop us from sending our students to other districts," Korkosz said.
She added that while the majority of Hooksett's high school students remain in Manchester schools, dozens of students have requested permission to attend other schools.
"According to our contract with Manchester, so long as the board individually examines each students request, there is no violation. I am no closer on understanding what Manchester's point of view on this is," Korkosz said.
Hooksett Board member John Lyscars, who attended Monday's hearing with Korkosz, said that considering all of the negative reports about Manchester high schools and that 75 students from Hooksett are actively trying to leave Manchester, Manchester officials should focus more on improving its schools rather than filing an injunction against Hooksett.
Despite that, Littlefield and Livingston both said that they would attend the meditative sessions in good faith to try to hammer out an agreement.
"Communication is always a good thing," Livingston said.

NICU nurse receives a surprise from families she's helped in the past (video)
January 22, 2016
Selling lots of tissues should be no problem for Kleenex following the success of a viral marketing ad (video below) featuring a special nurse.
Nurse Renee Hendrix works at WellStar Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, Ga. For years, she's been assigned to the hospital's NICU, where she takes care of newborn babies in critical condition. Most of these babies have been separated from their mothers because of serious medical conditions, and so they need to be monitored closely.
The nurse understands how difficult this initial separation can be for new parents. As a result she takes her work very seriously. "I feel like if I treat the babies like I would want somebody to treat my baby when I'm not there, that's the most important thing," she says. Nurse Renee's compassion and commitment have impressed many parents so much that they jumped on a chance to show their gratitude.
Producers from Kleenex gave them that opportunity when the company decided to make a video called, "Tiny Miracles." First, they contacted and interviewed many of her old patients, who recalled before cameras how the nurse had cared for their children. Then they cut together a video from those interviews, asking everyone in it to show up at the hospital on a given day.
On that day, Nurse Renee was working her usual shift when one of her co-workers asked her to sit down and watch a video. As she did, all of her patients entered the room, flash-mob style, and surprised her. As you might imagine, the nurse was shocked at first. But once the reality of the situation sank in she was overwhelmed with emotion.
Well done, Kleenex. Unless you're a robot, you'll probably have the same reaction as Nurse Renee when you watch the below video.

Recent USDA estimates showing significantly increased 2013 Idaho potato yields have surprised industry leaders, though they anticipated the greater percentage of large tubers in the agency's report.
Most agree the report confirms the high quality of the crop and that supply closely matches demand, both in Idaho and nationally.
The report finds Idaho potato farms yielded 421 hundredweight per acre, up from 412 hundredweight in 2012. Reported yields dropped by 10 hundredweight per acre to 520 hundredweight in southwestern Idaho, where growers say extreme heat limited production. But the state's cooler production areas more than offset the difference, increasing average yields from 405 hundredweight per acre to 415 hundredweight.
The national average yield increased by 6 hundredweight to 429 hundredweight per acre. Washington yields increased by 5 hundredweight to 600 hundredweight per acre, Oregon yields dropped 5 hundredweight to 545 hundredweight per acre, and California's yields increased by 15 hundredweight to 485 hundredweight per acre.
Due to a sizable reduction in planted acreage prompted by low prices throughout most of the year with the 2012 crop, total spud production is down, and potato prices are well above levels from this time last year. USDA estimates Idaho farmers planted 28,000 fewer spud acres, and U.S. acreage dropped by 54,500.
Jerry Wright, president and CEO of United Potato Growers of America, whose organization conducts an annual physical count of spud acres in major production areas, believes national estimates are in line, but Idaho's planted acreage estimates are a couple of thousand acres too high. He also believes USDA inflated Idaho yields. During harvest, Wright said UPGA sent personnel to sample yields from hundreds of fields.
"We believe the total NASS production is probably slightly larger than is actually existing in Idaho," Wright said. "In the end, everything we see across the country, and even in Idaho, is a very balanced crop, especially in the Russet market."
Idaho Potato Commission President and CEO Frank Muir said the estimated crop size falls within a "sweet spot" and should market well. Nonetheless, estimated yields also exceeded his expectations.
"The yield was higher than anybody thought it would be. We thought some of the issues with water this year may have put a dent in it," Muir said, attributing the apparent gains to resilient growers finding ways to cope with challenging weather.
IPC vice chairman Boyd Foster, an eastern Idaho farmer, said his yields were the same as last year, but his quality was much improved. He believes stronger prices this season should help him make up ground from last season's losses.
"This is an exciting crop for Idaho to market. The supply should match the demand, it's a good quality crop, and it will represent the state very well," Foster said.
Regarding quality, the report shows culls declined from 1.1 to 1 percent of Idaho's total crop, and the percent of Idaho potatoes over 14 ounces increased from 13.9 percent to 14.8 percent. Prices of potato cartons now range from $20-$22, about double what they were at this time last year, said University of Idaho Extension economist Paul Patterson.

Sharon Osbourne has undergone a preventive double mastectomy over fears she could develop breast cancer.
Ozzy Osbourne's wife, who battled colon cancer in the early 2000s, was horrified to discover she has a genetic mutation which raises her chances of developing the disease, so she decided to have surgery.
She tells Britain's Hello! magazine, "As soon as I found out I had the breast cancer gene, I thought: 'The odds are not in my favour'. I've had cancer before and I didn't want to live under that cloud: I decided to just take everything off, and had a double mastectomy."
The reality TV star, whose son Jack became a first-time dad to daughter Pearl earlier this year, insists she had no doubts about undergoing the operation – which lasted 13 hours – as she wants to live a long and happy life with her family.
She adds, "For me, it wasn't a big decision, it was a no-brainer. I didn't want to live the rest of my life with that shadow hanging over me. I want to be around for a long time and be a grandmother to Pearl.
"I didn't even think of my breasts in a nostalgic way, I just wanted to be able to live my life without that fear all the time. It's not 'pity me', it's a decision I made that's got rid of this weight that I was carrying around."

Guide for Closed-End Credit Disclosure
An understanding of what must be disclosed, may be disclosed, and may not be disclosed in connection with closed-end credit transactions is essential. The key point of reference for this purpose is Subpart C, Sec. 226.18, Content of Disclosures. A guide is presented in the form of an illustrative disclosure containing 23 possible disclosure elements for closed-end credit transactions.
Information on these elements, including citations of the applicable sections of Reg. Z, is also provided in the explanatory overview accompanying the illustrative disclosure. Because the disclosure elements for closed-end credit are required only "as applicable," it is highly unlikely that all of those shown will have to be taken into consideration.
The entire form is surrounded by a border in order to highlight the "federal box" concept. Although the border is not required, the required information must be segregated from all other information by some means. The elements shown are numbered with the explanation of the items given below.
It is permissible, however, to rearrange the elements in a different order. Lenders may develop multipurpose forms, which would cover more than one type of transaction, and use the designation "N/A" wherever a particular element is not necessary for a specific transaction.
Another important point: It must be kept in mind that the sample presented is not a "model form" per se but represents only an attempt to illustrate all of the disclosure elements.
Items 1 through 4
(1) the date of the transaction,
(2) the customer's name and address,
(3) the customer's account number and
(4) an acknowledgment of receipt.
While all four items may be included within the federal box, there is no specific requirement that any appear at all, either inside or outside the box, as additional information.
Item 5 - Creditor's Identity
The identity of the creditor making the disclosure is required, but this disclosure item may appear within the federal box or elsewhere. Further, this item may appear more conspicuously, i.e., in larger print or perhaps through the use of a logo, than the annual percentage rate and finance charge disclosures.
Item 6 - Amount Financed
The amount financed in dollars, along with a "descriptive explanation" similar to the one shown, must appear within the federal box. Because the amount financed is such an important disclosure element and is interrelated to all the other numerical disclosures, the regulation contains a mathematical routine for determining this item:
1.The procedure generally is to take the principal amount of the loan or the cash price of the item being sold and financed and then subtract any downpayment.
2.To this remaining amount is added any other creditor-financed items which are not part of the finance charge or are already not included in the #1. For example, the cost of certain allowable insurance coverages might be added to the transaction after other details are worked out.
3. From this sum would be deducted the amount of the prepaid finance charge.
Item 7 - Itemization Option
Of all the optional or required truth-in-lending items, this is the only one which may not appear inside the federal box. Creditors are faced with two options. One is to give the consumer the alternative of requesting amount financed itemization, expressing this option in the federal box. The other is to automatically provide an itemization of amount financed outside the federal box. As a result, the sample shown lists Item 7 twice, once illustrating the optional feature and once again showing the elements which would comprise the required disclosure.
Most lenders will probably choose to provide the amount financed itemization automatically, owing to the practical difficulties of complying with a customer's request for this information at the time disclosure is otherwise provided.
The general approach to itemization requires "breaking up" the total amount into the various components shown. Where amounts are paid to parties other than public officials or government agencies, credit reporting agencies, appraisers and insurance companies, these parties must be named.
Flexibility is permitted for providing additional information in the itemization, enabling disclosures of amounts which technically are not part of the amount financed. In some instances, nonfinance charge items such as appraisal fees, title costs, and so forth may be paid out of pocket rather than financed and included in the loan amount, where they would become part of the amount financed. Consumers might, therefore, become confused if any of these costs are listed in the "Amount paid to others . . ." portions of the amount financed itemization section of the sample form, in large part because the sum of the amounts listed would not likely equal the amount financed. Consequently, many lenders probably will not use the regulatory flexibility provided but instead will choose to itemize only the elements which specifically fall within the strict definition of the amount financed
Charges added to amounts paid to other. A sum is sometimes added to the amount of a fee charged to a consumer for a service provided by a third party (such as for an extended warranty or a service contract) that is payable in the same amount in comparable cash and credit transactions. In the credit transaction, the amount is retained by the creditor. Given the flexibility permitted in meeting the requirements of the amount financed itemized, the creditor in such cases should reflect that the creditor has retained a portion of the amount paid to others. For example, the creditor should add to the category "amount paid to others" language such as "(we will be retaining a portion of this/these amount/s)."
The sum of the amount financed disclosure itself and the prepaid finance charge will usually equal the sum of the amounts shown in the other portions of the itemization. The prepaid finance charge, either as a total or itemized, must always be shown on the itemization.
Finally, for the broad category of transactions subject to the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the amount financed itemization is not required as long as the RESPA-required good faith estimates of settlement costs are provided .
Item 8 - Finance Charge
This element must be disclosed as a total within the federal box and may not be itemized. A descriptor, such as the one shown, must also be included. The amount includes not only the total of any finance charges paid after the loan is closed and through maturity, but also any prepaid finance charges.
On closed-end transactions secured by real estate or a dwelling consummated on or after 09/01/95, has a tolerance of $100 for understated finance charges and an absolute tolerance for overstated finance charges. The tolerances permitted remain in place for all other closed-end credit transactions. (Minimal allowable "tolerance" for inaccuracy is permitted, i.e., + or - $5 where the transaction involves an amount financed of $1,000 or less and + or - $10 where the amount financed is greater than $1,000.)
The finance charge must be disclosed more conspicuously, which the sample accomplishes by using both larger and bolder type face.
Item 9 - Annual Percentage Rate
The annual percentage rate must be disclosed, using a descriptor similar to the one shown in the sample form. Like the finance charge, the APR disclosure must be more conspicuous (although these two items could be the same in the degree of conspicuousness), as is illustrated by the sample's bold and larger type face.
The APR disclosed must be within the allowable tolerance of .125% for regular transactions and .25% on irregular transactions of the computed APR.
For any transaction involving a finance charge of $5.00 or less on an amount financed of $75 or less, or a finance charge of $7.50 or less on an amount financed of more than $75, the creditor need not disclose the APR.
Item 10 - Variable Rate Disclosure
If the annual percentage rate may increase after consummation in a transaction not secured by the consumer's principal dwelling or in a transaction secured by the consumer's principal dwelling with a term of one year or less, the following disclosures:
1. the circumstances for an increase;
2. any limitation on these circumstances;
3. the effect, such as in the form of a payment change, change in maturity, final payment change or any combination of these; and
4. an example of the payment terms that would result from an increase. The example, however, may be provided separately outside the federal box should the creditor choose to do so.
These facts must be shown inside the federal box as a variable rate disclosure. I
If the annual percentage rate may increase after consummation in a transaction secured by the consumer's principal dwelling with a term greater than one year, the disclosures must be provided at the time an application form is provided or before the consumer pays a nonrefundable fee, whichever is earlier. The following disclosures are to be included in the federal box:
1. The fact that the transaction contains a variable-rate feature.
2. A statement that variable-rate disclosures have been provided earlier.
The key to determining whether these disclosure elements are applicable to a particular transaction revolves around whether an APR rate increase may be incurred. Thus, generally falling within this requirement are renegotiable rate mortgage instruments, most shared appreciation mortgages, preferred rate employee loans for which the legal obligation reflects the preferred rate for as long as the employee works for the creditor, "buy-down" loans which also have a variable rate feature, and so forth.
Importantly, where a variable rate feature does exist, the descriptive explanation or the terms finance charge, total of payments, and annual percentage rate may be amended by adding a phrase such as "which is subject to change." This would alert the consumer to the effects of the variable rate on the numerical elements disclosed.
Finally, from a computational standpoint, the finance charge, total or payments, annual percentage rate payment schedule, and so forth are computed as if the contract rate in effect at the time of consummation.
Any adjustable rate mortgage loan originated by a creditor must include a limitation on the maximum interest rate that may apply during the term of the loan.
Item 11 - Payment Schedule
The borrower's payment schedule also must be disclosed. The specific payment shown must include not only the repayment of principal but also all elements of any finance charge imposed.
It is permissible to include additional amounts scheduled for payment of nonfinance charge items such as tax and insurance escrows (which are not included in the basic obligation) and credit insurance monthly premiums
In transactions where the obligation calls for a number of different-size payments, abbreviateddisclosures are permissible. For example, for a graduated payment mortgage which also involves a finance charge in the form of credit insurance, it would be permissible to disclose specifically the size of the more substantial payment increases during the initial periods when payment changes would be of considerable size. For later periods, the creditor could disclose the highest and lowest payments which would occur during the latter part of the life of the loan, when changes would be much smaller owing to the existence only of the mortgage insurance premium.
The size and number of payments, as well as the specific dates when they would be due, must be shown. Special rules apply for deferred down-payments and demand obligations. In the event an abbreviated disclosure is used, however, the actual amounts of all payments still must be taken into account when providing the other numerical disclosures.
Item 12 - Total of Payments
The total of payments must be disclosed using that term, along with a descriptive phrase. The total of payment is the sum of the payments disclosed. Creditors may omit disclosure of the total of payments in single-payment transactions. This exception does not apply to a transaction calling for a single payment of principal combined with periodic payments of interest. In demand obligations with no alternate maturity date, the creditor may omit disclosure of payment amounts. In those transactions, the creditor need not disclose the total of payments.
In cases where the payment schedule contains payment amounts outside the finance charge and the amount financed, the total of the finance charge and the amount financed will not equal the total of payments.
Item 13 - Demand Feature Disclosure
If the obligation has a demand feature, this must be disclosed. Model clauses are provided in Appendix H 5 of Regulation Z.
Item 14 - Total Sale Price
In a credit sale, the total sale price must be disclosed. The amount is the sum of the cash price, any other amounts financed and the finance charge. This disclosure would be applicable not only when vendors are selling and financing goods or services, but also when a lender might be selling and financing repossessed or foreclosed property. However, to the extent that a lender might engage in the sale of incidental goods or services such as insurance in connection with a basic lending transaction, this disclosure would not be necessary. The description shown is the Federal Reserve's.
Item 15 - Prepayment Provisions
This disclosure element combines two previous ones relating to prepayment penalties and rebates of unearned finance charges. For all loans, at least one and perhaps two specific disclosures may now be required. For simple interest transactions where the finance charge is computed each period on the outstanding balance, a definitive statement must be made to disclose whether the consumer will or will not have to pay any type of penalty upon prepayment in full. Items which are penalties include, for example:
1. Interest charges for any period after prepayment in full is made.
2. A minimum finance charge.
For other types of transactions, i.e., those involving precomputed finance charges, a statement must be made as to whether the consumer will be entitled to a refund of part of the finance charge in the event of prepayment.
Some types of transactions, such as mortgage loans, contain both types of finance charges. As a result, both disclosures would be necessary, one pertaining to the simple interest portion and the other relating to the precomputed portion usually encompassing the prepaid finance charge, an item ordinarily not refunded in the event of prepayment.
The language shown, which is the Federal Reserve's, might be amended as a "directly related" to highlight a policy of no refunds with respect to the prepaid finance charge (i.e., "will not" ). As is usually the case, this would distinguish the policy from one of only charging the consumer "simple" interest to the date of prepayment and not charging, i.e., "refunding," the remaining interest which might have been charged from prepayment through the remaining contemplated life of the loan. The reason is that this remainder is always included in the total finance charge disclosed but would not, of course, be collected upon prepayment.
Item 16 - Applicable Late Charges
The regulation requires disclosure of the late charge imposed, if any. The Federal Reserve's language shown refers only to a specific additional charge which may be imposed in dollars or as a percent, or both, on transactions which the creditor otherwise considers ongoing obligations. A grace period, if any, could also be mentioned as "directly related" information. The disclosure should refer, however, only to these types of charges, not others which might arise in arise in the event of serious delinquency, the right of acceleration, the imposition of collection costs, continued accrual of interest at the contract rate and so forth.
Item 17 - Security Interest
A description of the creditor's security interest must also be provided. The language suggested by the Federal Reserve is very brief. Further, in the definition of security interest, the Federal Reserve has taken great pains to delineate between security interests which are disclosable and those which are not. Thus, in a loan secured by the customer's home, the terms "lien," "mortgage" or "deed of trust" might be substituted for the "security interest" language shown, and "your home" might be substituted for "the goods or property being purchased."
Other less direct security interests might exist, often as a matter of contract law. These might include incidental interests, interests in after- acquired property and those arising solely by operation of state law. Generally, however, these interests are considered by the Fed as not being disclosable security interests. Therefore, they would not trigger the need for this disclosure nor would it be permissible to refer to them on the form.
In accordance with the regulation, the disclosure can state that the transaction is "unsecured" or "not secured" to the extent that no security interest exists.
Item 18 - Insurance Disclosure
When certain insurance coverages other than property insurance are written in connection with a credit transaction, exempting the costs of such insurance from the finance charge is permitted if the coverages are not required and specific disclosures are adhered to. To the extent that any such insurance is not written in connection with the transaction, the disclosures obviously would not be applicable. However, if the contractual relationship does require property insurance coverage, that fact must be disclosed, even if such coverage is not available through the creditor.
Importantly, it is permissible for the insurance disclosures to appear outside the federal box . Many creditors may use this option in order to provide a more complete disclosure of all the aspects surrounding insurance coverages. Another reason for using this option is that the illustrative language of the Federal Reserve, shown in the sample, seems to suggest that a borrower's affirmative indication of the desire for coverage as listed will require the creditor to provide coverage, a source of litigation in recent years.
Item 19 - Exempt Charges
This item arises because of the specific requirements that certain types of security interest charges be disclosed in order for them to be exempt from the finance charge. While the Federal Reserve's sample illustrates filing fees or nonfiling insurance typical of consumer credit transactions, these and similar items such as taxes and recording fees could arise in real estate transactions. Properly listed, the items would be exempt from the finance charge.
Again, such charges may be listed at the creditor's option elsewhere than in the federal box. For example, on transactions subject to RESPA, if these charges are disclosed when complying with RESPA, this is considered adequate compliance with the TIL disclosure requirement and the charges would not have to be disclosed again in this section of the form.
Item 20 - Contract Reference
This disclosure is designed to alert consumers to the specific "contract," "promissory note," "retail installment sales contract" or whatever other legal document spells out in detail other provisions of the transaction.
Item 21 - Assumption Statement
Applicable only to a residential mortgage transaction, i.e., purchase, this item requires the creditor to provide a definitive statement of whether a subsequent purchaser of the home can assume the remaining obligation "on its original terms."
Item 22 - Required Deposit
If a required deposit exists, the Federal Reserve's disclosure illustrated must be made. However, as stated, the deposit is not taken into account in computing the Annual Percentage Rate.
Examples of items the regulation excludes from the definition of a required definition are deposits earning at least 5% interest, escrow accounts, funds deposited with the creditor for disbursement in connection with a loan and some minimum balance requirements.
Item 23 - "E" or "e" or Estimates
This item reflects the use of estimates, if applicable, for a transaction. The lower case "e" may be used with respect to any one or more of the numerical disclosures if accurate information is unknown when the disclosure is being provided. Where a substantial number of disclosures must be estimated, the lender may use a general phrase such as "all numerical disclosures are estimates" in lieu of labeling each element. The use of estimates is more likely to arise and be extensive in connection with transactions requiring advance disclosure.
Many mathematical elements, annual percentage rate, finance charge, amount financed, total of payments and payment schedule, are interrelated, so that estimating one aspect almost necessarily dictates that others be estimated also.
