The purpose of the Bank Activity screen to make it simple to match your Bank Statement to Transactions that have already been entered in to R365. Bank Activity also allows easy creation of new Deposits and Withdrawals based on data from your Bank. Using the Bank Activity feature will make the Bank Reconciliation process significantly faster. Each transaction that is 'Matched' on Bank Activity will be checked off as 'Reconciled' on your Bank Rec.
Once your Bank Accounts are setup (click here for more information on setting up Bank Accounts), then the Bank Activity process consists of 3 steps:
- Download activity from your Bank (.qfx or .qbo file formats only)
- Upload the file on the Bank Activity screen (this will attempt to Auto-match the Bank Transaction with its corresponding R365 Transaction, if it has previously been entered)
- Manually Match / Create / Exclude / Delete entries that do not Auto-match
Important Terminology
These steps will be described in detail below, but first, the bank activity screen consists of 4 tabs and the terminology of those tabs is important so those will be described here first:
- Unmatched - this tab shows all the remaining bank records that did not auto match to existing transactions or match any bank rules you have created.
- Rule Applied - this tab shows all bank records that matched the logic of bank rules you have created. The system tries to match records to bank rules during initial upload of bank activity as well as each time a new rule is created or a rule is modified.
- Matched/Excluded - this tab shows all bank records that have been matched or excluded. Matching means a record downloaded from your bank has a corresponding transaction in the system for the same amount and same bank account. Records are matched and moved to this tab during initial upload of bank activity (the system applies a series of auto-matching logic as described at the bottom of this training article). They can also be matched on the Unmatched tab manually by the user and created as new transactions from the Unmatched tab or the Rule Applied tab. Creating a new transaction on those tabs will also automatically match that record to the transaction and move it to the matched tab. On the Unmatched tab, records can also be Excluded which will move them to this tab. Excluding is described in more detail later in this training. If something is on this tab that should not be matched or excluded then press the button on that row that says Unmatch or Include respectively.
- Bank Rule - this tab shows all bank rules you have previously created. Think of a bank rule as a transaction you want to create the same as a transaction you've created on bank activity in the past. For example you can set a rule so any bank record uploaded where the name is "Sprint" should create a transaction for vendor "Sprint Wireless" and post to the "Telephone Expense" account. These rules are on the Bank Rule tab and can be modified and deleted there. This tab is described in more detail further down in the training.
Step 1 - Download activity from your Bank
Log into your bank website and choose to download your bank transaction history for your desired Account and date range. You need to download the information into a QFX or QBO file format – typically choosing the QuickBooks or Quicken format option will produce the required QFX or QBO file format.
Upon clicking 'Download' the file should save to your computer.
Converting CSV to QFX
If your banking institution does not provide bank activity in the above formats, the CSV (Comma Delimited) file can be obtained and converted to QFX via a third party application. We recommend "csv2qfx Convert" from MoneyThumb. Click here for more information on csv2qfx Convert
Step 2 - Upload the file and automatch
1) Open the Bank Activity window by hovering over the 'Banking' and selecting 'Get Bank Activity'
2) Select your desired bank account in the Bank Accounts selector
3) Check or uncheck the 'Match Undeposited Funds' checkbox based on whether you want the system to match these or not.
- If checked then the auto-matching logic will first try to match Transactions in the system for this Bank Account and if it doesn't find a match it will then try to match this record to transactions in the system that were posted to the Undeposited Funds account. If it does find a match in Undeposited Funds, it will change the Account from 'Undeposited Funds' to the Bank Account and then perform the Auto-match. It will not match to Undeposited Funds in a closed period.
- If you don't want the activity to match to Undeposited Funds, uncheck that box before uploading the file.
4) Click 'Upload A File', to open the upload prompt, then click 'Select Files' to open the file explorer.
5) Locate the file you downloaded from your Bank and then upload.
6) Once the file has been uploaded, Bank Activity will perform the Auto-matching
- The auto-matching logic will attempt to match each activity record with a Transaction in the system (auto-matching logic is outlined at the end of this article).
- Records that are successfully Auto-matched will be moved to the 'Matched/Excluded' tab
- For records that did not Auto-match an existing transaction, one of two things will occur:
- The Auto-match process will attempt to match the Activity against the conditions set on previously created Bank Rules (located on the 'Bank Rules' tab). If the Activity meets the conditions, it will be moved to the 'Rule Applied' tab.
- If the Activity does not Auto-match and does not meet any Bank Rule conditions, it will remain on the 'Unmatched' tab to await processing
7) Undo File Upload
If a Bank Activity file was uploaded to the wrong Bank Account or otherwise incorrectly uploaded, click 'Undo File Upload' to open the Undo File Upload prompt.
The prompt will display the most recently uploaded Bank Activity file and ask if the file should be removed. Click 'Yes' to remove the upload, otherwise click 'Choose a different one' to review and select a different Upload file.
Step 3 - Manually Match / Create / Exclude / or Delete Activity that didn't Auto-match
You will spend the majority of your time in Bank Activity on the 'Unmatched' tab processing Activity that was unable to be Auto-matched.
Unmatched Tab
Manual Matching
If there is a possible match in the system but the match wasn't close enough that the system could Auto-match, it will indicate there's a potential match with an 'M' on the row in the 9th column (highlighted in red in image below). Reasons for possible matches include:
- There are multiple Transactions in the system for the same amount
- There are multiple Bank Activity records imported with the same amount and only one R365 Transaction for that amount in the system
To see the possible matches, click the arrow on the far left of the row (highlighted in orange in image below) to expand the row and list the potential matches for that record (highlighted in green in image below). Click the Match button on the far right of the row that is the correct match and this record will be matched and moved to the 'Matched/Excluded' tab. Collapse the row by clicking the same arrow (highlighted in orange below).
It's possible that you imported some records from your Bank that you didn't intend to or that you've already reconciled manually. You can remove these Activity records from the unmatched tab by selecting each line then in the 'Select Command' selector, choosing 'Exclude Selected' (red arrow in image below). This will move those rows to the 'Matched/Excluded' tab. If you need to move an excluded record back to the 'Unmatched' tab from the 'Matched/Excluded' tab, simply click the 'Include' button on the 'Matched/Excluded' tab.
If you are confident that the record will not need to be Included or Matched again, you can perform the same process as described in the 'Excluding' step above, but instead, select 'Delete Selected' to manually delete the Bank Activity records from the 'Unmatched' tab
Creating Transactions
You can create Transactions in one of two ways:
1) 'Simple' Transactions that only involve:
- One GL Account
- One Location
2) Regular Transactions with multiple Accounts and Locations
'Simple' Transaction Steps:
- Populate the Vendor on the Activity row - this field is optional and only applies to Withdrawals (not Deposits).
- If you select a Vendor that has a Default Expense Account, the Account column will populate automatically.
- Set or change the Account on the Activity row - this is required and must be populated on both Withdrawals and Deposits before they can be created.
- Set or change the Location - this will default to the Location on the Bank Account and is a required field.
- Check the 'Add Rule' checkbox if you want a Bank Rule created.
- By default 'Add Rule' is not checked which means a new Bank Rule will not be created unless you check that box. Checking the box to add the rule will make it so that any other Activity records with this same name will be recommended to hit this same Vendor/Account/Location and be moved to the 'Rule Applied' tab.
- Leaving the 'Add Rule' box unchecked means that when this transaction is added, no Bank Rule will be created. Refer to the Bank Rules section below for more information.
- Add the Transaction:
- Click the 'Add' button on the Activity record row to add the single transaction immediately. If 'Add Rule' is checked, this will also create the Bank Rule.
- To add several Transactions at once, complete the required fields, then select each Activity record row. Click on 'Select Command' and select 'Add Selected'. Each Transaction will be added and any rows with 'Add Rule' checked will also create new Bank Rules.
Regular Transaction Steps:
For Transactions that require multiple GL Accounts or Locations, instead of populating the Vendor / Account / Location values on the Activity row, click the 'Withdrawal' or 'Deposit' button. A Withdrawal or Deposit form will appear in a popup where you can create the Bank Transaction with as much detail as needed. When you have entered all of the details, click 'Create Withdrawal' or 'Create Deposit' in the upper left corner of the popup to create the Transaction and move the Activity row to the 'Matched/Excluded' tab.
Clearing Unmatched Tab
Once you've finished creating and matching all the desired Transactions in the 'Unmatched' tab, if any Activity records remain, you can move them to the 'Matched / Excluded' tab by clicking the 'Remove All Unmatched' button near the top of the Bank Activity window. All remaining Bank Activity records will then be moved to the 'Matched/Excluded' tab.
Rule Applied Tab
If you have Bank Rules setup and you've uploaded transactions that match those rules, the system will recommend the rules be applied to those records. It will show those records on the 'Rule Applied' tab which looks and functions like the 'Unmatched' tab. The benefit of this tab is it shows you records matched your existing Bank Rules and it shows what Vendor / Account / Location will be assigned if you choose to add those Transactions.
Review the records on this tab, make changes to the Vendor / Account / Location fields on any row that you'd like to change and then just as on the 'Unmatched' tab, you can either add one at a time with the 'Add' button on each row, or add in bulk. Adding in bulk is usually best and the quickest way to do it is to click the Select all check box at the top of the far left column (circled in orange in image below) to select all rows and then click Select Command dropdown in the upper right above the grid and select 'Add Selected' from the dropdown (red arrow in image). This will create those Transactions and move each selected Activity row to the 'Matched/Exlcluded' tab.
- Name - this is the name of the bank rule and can be named whatever will help you know this rule. By default the rule will have the same name as the Name on the bank record used to create this rule, but it can be modified on the Bank Rule tab.
- Type - this defines what type of transaction will get created using this rule (withdrawal or deposit) and will default to the same type as the record used to create the rule.
- Bank Account - this defines which bank accounts this rule applies to. You can either select the word All and it will apply to all bank accounts or select 1 specific bank account. If you want the same rule to apply to multiple bank accounts but not to all then you will need to create that rule for each bank account you wish to apply it to.
- Condition - the selection here will determine how strict of a match the Bank Rule must make to meet the rule conditions. You can choose one of the following conditions:
- Value - this is the value that the Bank Rule will try to match to the Name field on the Activity records. You can simplify the value so instead of an exact name (i.e., 'Sprint #05918') it can be a more generic name for matching purposes (i.e., 'sprint'). With the generic value, the condition can be set to 'Name Contains' and then during the Auto-match process, any Activity record that's name contains the word 'sprint' will be moved to the 'Rule Applied' tab for further review.
- 2nd Condition - the second Condition allows you to be more specific in your filtering on Bank Rules that are applied during the Auto-match. The same Condition options are available here.
- 2nd Value - the matching value for the second condition. This will typically be more specific as the first Condition was more generic
- Vendor - this is the Vendor that will be automatically added to Bank Withdrawals for records that match this rule
- Account - this is the GL Account that will be automatically added to Withdrawals or Deposits for records that match this rule
- Location - this is the Location that will be automatically added to Withdrawals or Deposits for records that match this rule
Bank rules get created by having the 'Add Rule' checkbox checked on an Activity row where you populate the Vendor / Account / Location fields and click 'Add' (or bulk add). You can make changes to existing Bank Rules and then click 'Save changes' to save any updates. To delete a rule click the trashcan icon on the far right of the row.
Auto-matching Logical Process Flow:
The matching process goes through the following sequence to find matches and potential matches:
- Check number (Number in the Memo Field to the Check Number on the AP Payment record)
- Amounts match and unique (only 1) and Dates match – Mark as Match
- Amounts match and unique (only 1) and with Date Range of -4 days – Mark as Match
- Amounts match and unique (only 1) and with Date Range of -7 days – Mark as Match
- Amounts match and unique (only 1) and with Date Range of +2 days – Mark as Match
- Amounts match and unique (only 1) and with Date Range of all past days – Mark as Match
- Amounts match multiple records – Mark as a potential Match (capital 'M' on 'Unmatched' tab)
- Repeat from step 1 for all Undeposited Funds Account entries after the most recent Closed Date on the Legal Entity

Canvas Lovin!
7 comments:
Nice work Jen. I haven't seen the photos on canvas before and it looks wonderful. The colors in the photo along with your paneled wall actually make it look hip and retro. You might want to wait to take that paneling off after all :-)ReplyDelete
I love those pictures. I am probably going to do this the next time I get family pictures. So great.ReplyDelete
Hi Jen, Maka here from Makaz Home. Thanks for stopping by. Love these ideas. New follower.ReplyDelete
Great ideas with the canvas!! I love the combination of fabrics above your bed...and it would be so easy to swap them out for a fresh look!ReplyDelete
i love the headboard alternative. esp since we lack a bed frame or headboard, that seems like a cute easy solution.ReplyDelete
I am so excited to see this post!!! I'm in the process of turning my baby's room into a big boy room :( and was trying to figure out an inexpensive way to make canvas photos. It looks great! :)ReplyDelete
How did you make the canvas? What did you print the photos on?ReplyDelete


text:
when i was in my teens all my friends aspired for the finer things of life. the flashy cars, the posh houses and the beautiful women (sexist much?). i on the other hand was busy being deep in the books, it was during that time i met fanon, nkrumah, angela davis and them. meeting these people ignited something in me; a yearning for change, for smashing oppressive structures and i haven't recovered since from those encounters.
thru the passage of time i took my own path. a path marred by misunderstanding, arching eye brows and a sense of defeat at every turn. yet this is my path and i walked it willingly knowing it has to be the path that has eventually chosen me. i remember now how i raved about these icons of revolutionary theory and praxis and most of my friends thought i was going thru a phase and would backtrack and take the way of the posh houses and shit. and after all these years i'm still here holding on. still reading, practicing the creed and culture of resistance.
when a friend sent me the wretched of the earth by fanon many years ago i knew this is what i was always looking for. i drowned in the book. i studied it, studied it again, mastered it and eventually made it an intrinsic part of my life. it was to be the milestone for my calling or so i believe and still believe. fanon spoke to the heart of this black west african kid on the margins of empire. and i'm not afraid to claim he has spoken likewise to many like me who were struggling with the questions and couldn't find the answers.
but this isn't about me. it isn't about my many stunts with fanon or edward said. it's about this generation and the wake up call that has been rung before us all. i brought in my story to illustrate a point: that by and by there is an awakening that started in this time and it's only gaining momentum.
this is a celebration of my people. my tribe. those who embark on fighting, smashing the idols of our time. who realize we must make this world a better place or we all live in the restlessness. it's a reflective piece on the accomplishments of millennials who took to the streets, parks, squares and highways of the world and declared war on capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy, imperialism, colonialism and empire. from tahrir square to occupy wall street; from the fees must fall movement to the anti cfa protests.
here we are. fighting the odds. regrouping once again like all the revolutionary ancestors have done in the past on board slave ships or on the motherland calling for the snapping of the colonial hold. ours is a long line of transmission, of fighter women and men who came before us. who told us life on earth must be joyful for all. that one percent doesn't have to rule, trample, dictate the wishes, dreams and aspirations of the ninety nine percent.
heavy prices have been paid and will continue to be paid by all those who took this path. it's what chris hedges meant when he said : "To resist radical evil is to endure a life that by the standards of the wider society is a failure. It is to defy injustice at the cost of your career, your reputation, your financial solvency and at times your life. It is to be a lifelong heretic. And, perhaps this is the most important point, it is to accept that the dominant culture, even the liberal elites, will push you to the margins and attempt to discredit not only what you do, but your character."
the wages of rebellion before the forces of oppression is forever heavy and hard. it's to take on the high road of a marginal existence. to become a jail bird, a pushed out and an exiled human.
and yet we continue to soldier on. everyone who took on this knew the price is ultimately life itself. that freedom has its costs. that from palestine to chiapas, from gambia has decided to black lives matter the battle for freedom has severe consequences. the marches will be met with brute force. the study groups will be raided and every material is evidence against the holder. and yet we push on! how fucking awesome can it all be!
the odds will be stacked against us but a better life for all is what makes it all worthwhile. that the many modes of oppression have to be unpacked and dismantled once and for all. and until that happens we will be out here: in the streets of africa, the parks of europe, the squares of the middle east and the highways of the americas saying one thing in different tongues: shit gots to change!
and you know what? we gon' be alright!

Ferris Wheels, Cotton Candy and the Good Old Days . . .
5 comments:
You really must have been lost in thought on your ride! Thanks for your trip down memory lane. There's something really nice about revisiting these fond memories.ReplyDelete
love your post. we used to have a fair at the neighbouring town. It had a similar midway. it was such fun to take the kids and go on the occasional ride with them. Cotton candy all the way. Remember the year with the huge power outage that covered most of the eastern seaboard and beyond, well that was the day they were setting up the fair. They got all the setup done before dark, so they opened an day early since there was no electricity any where else, but they had generators. We went with the kids, had some cooked food and really enjoyed our selves. Most of our neighbours were there as well.ReplyDelete
Wow - what a wonderful memory!!!!! I still can conjure up that feeling of how exciting Old Settlers was!!! Nothing compared! Man we were lucky little girls - - - Old Settlers and the North Pole over and over again!! Thanks for sharing. But dear - you must focus on oncoming traffic and road signs please.ReplyDelete

Thanks for sharing, Tami! I grew up in Lincoln so we didn't have this same kind of thing but once in a while we were in my grandparents' little town when Shelby Days came to town and I remember them fondly.ReplyDelete

Argentina ease past Iraq as four players score first international goals
Argentina easily overcame Iraq 4-0 in a friendly in Saudi Arabia on Thursday with four players scoring their first senior international goals for the twice world champions while German Pezzella also found the net.
Argentina were without Lionel Messi, who is taking a sabbatical from international football, and fielded a new-look side that included one player making his debut and two others their first-ever starts.

Red Sox Digest 26th Feb 2007
All the Red Sox news that's fit to print
Every morning before work I go through the online papers and pick out the best of the Boston Red Sox related articles in the Globe, Herald and many others so you can just sit there, point, click and read. Considering I am five hours ahead of the East Coast of the USA, I am posting this as most of your alarm clocks go off over there. Enjoy.
Let's chop it up
The Boston Globe
Nice piece from Shaughnessy on Brendan Donnelly in today's Globe. I had the pleasure of meeting Donnelly in '05 in LA and he seemed like a really cool guy. I think he will be a very big success in the Sox pen for '07.
Donnelly's deliveries can be biting
February 26, 2007
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- He's got a World Series ring. He was the winning pitcher of the 2003 All-Star Game. His lifetime big league record is 23-8 with a 2.87 ERA. Major league batters have hit only .219 against him.
Loved this bit from a quote from David Wells on Tito;
"Tito is awesome," Wells said. "I wish a lot of managers were like him. He lets you go out and play. Just don't embarrass the team and be accountable. He messed with all the guys. He made you feel welcome and at home at the ballpark. That's what players like to see.''
Wells weighs in on Boston
Red Sox get praise, fans get brushback

Finishing offers him fresh start
A new role could signify season of change for Pineiro
By Gordon Edes, Globe Staff | February 26, 2007
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Joel Pineiro was midway through his first bullpen session last week when a stray ball from the other side of the green divider that splits the bullpen rolled past him. He turned around and saw, leaning alone against the cyclone fence at the rear of the pen, Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein, his arms folded.
Dustin Pedroia article
Second chance
After tough September stretch in '06, Pedroia wised up, shaped up, and slimmed down
Defense has never been the issue with Dustin Pedroia, who worked out with new double play partner Julio Lugo yesterday. Defense has never been the issue with Dustin Pedroia, who worked out with new double play partner Julio Lugo yesterday.
Tiant isn't expecting call
Veterans vote due tomorrow
By Gordon Edes, Globe Staff | February 26, 2007
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Luis Tiant is not optimistic about his chances when the Hall of Fame Veterans Committee announces the results of its voting tomorrow.
Papelbon still open to closing
By Dan Shaughnessy, Globe Staff
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- While the Red Sox go about looking for a new closer, Jonathan Papelbon continues to say he'll go back to the bullpen if the club makes such a request. Papelbon, recovered from a shoulder injury, is almost certain to start the season in the rotation, but he remains a great alternative if the closer search comes up empty
Damon leaves for personal reasons
By Associated Press
Yankees center fielder Johnny Damon is expected to miss at least a few days of spring training for personal reasons.
Live, from Fort Myers, it's Dice-K
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- One of the great things about the pre- game phase of spring training is "live batting practice." It's when hitters step into the batting cage and try to hit real big league pitching. The hurlers give them the courtesy of telling them what's coming, but the ball isn't lobbed into their wheelhouse.
It's debatable whether Pineiro can be slotted into closer role
By all accounts, everyone liked Joel Pineiro in Seattle, but everyone we talked to agreed he's had a few dreadful seasons, which makes it difficult to project him as a closer.
Sports and entertainment kinda thing, established 2006. Specializing in MLB, NFL, baseball in Ireland and movies. Always with the movies.

text: Schedules might be for squares, but after three days of a wackadoodle schedule at home with the boy, it was kind of disaster getting out of the house this morning for work. The boy asked, "Dad, are you going to work?" I said, I'm going to try, if the trains are running. The boy said, "Just work at home today." I said, I can't. The boy said, "Look at my face. This is what I look like when I'm sad." I told him I'd be home tonight and then we can play.

In Yume Nikki (Dream Diary), you're cast as a young girl living in a small apartment. There is very little to do in your room, but fall asleep and an entire dream world is yours to explore. Go to sleep, dream freaky-ass dreams, collect 'effects', see uboa. While the main 'aim' of the game is to collect all the various effects, the real meat of the experience comes from the huge maps to explore. Many of the wide-open areas loop around on themselves so searching everywhere can often feel a little daunting, but keep an eye on the odd landmark here and there and you should be alright.
Press Z to intereact with the creatures or to pick up effects. Press x to open your menu and activate an effect. Press 1 to 'use' certain effects. If you get very lost (or attacked by a Toriningen) press the 9 key to wake up.
Since its release (in its current state) in 2004, Yume Nikki has built up a significant cult following from all corners of the Internet. Download it here.
Uboa is a fansite of sorts, running on a 4chan-style imageboard. It's similar to a regular internet forum, with higher emphasis on images and no registration. Anyone can post and while everyone has the option to remain anonymous, they can always post with a name and/or email address to make themselves more immediately recognisable.
There are separate boards for discussion of each of the main characters (though a little overlap will be forgiven) along with a creatures board, a general discussion board and a dreams board. There are also several low-traffic off-topic boards. Last of all, we have an IRC channel on the IRCHighway network, accessible from the menu on the left.
Uboachan uses the latest version of Tinyboard+Vichan, with custom modifications.
The administration staff can be contacted on IRC, or through the Suggestions board. The operator may be contacted via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Yes. On board pages, use the [Options] button at the top right of each page. Style switching is a little funny currently so refresh if it breaks.
Return to the front page.
It's been moved to The Archive.
They've been moved to The Annex.
Uboachan has moved several times, but currently it is hosted on a RamNode virtual private server in the United States. The server is running Debian 7 x64.
Uboachan costs $43/month, plus $10 per year for the domain name.
Uboachan is backed up to a long-term storage service every Monday.
If you believe that you were banned in error, we do allow ban appeals. If your ban is longer than 6 hours, you can use the built-in appeal interface up to two times per ban. You may also email the operator at email@example.com.
The latest revision of the moderator guide is available for viewing here. It contains moderator rules and guidelines, a description of moderator responsibilities, and a moderation panel guide.

text: Michael Matthay, MD, is Professor of Medicine and Anesthesiology and Director of the Critical Care Medicine Fellowship in the Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. He was invited this year to deliver the Grenvik lectures. Dr. Matthay has published approximately 500 scientific papers plus over 100 books and book chapters. He has also mentored 50 research fellows at the famous Cardiovascular Research Intsitute (CVRI). He started with an exciting research conference on November 14, entitled "Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Treatment of Acute Lung Injury." As the leader of the group at CVRI, he reported on findings in two areas. The first was a study in mice demonstrating improved survival, increased production of antiinflammatory cytokines and reduced number of E. Coli in lungs of these animals after instillation into the trachea of E. Coli endotoxin and subsequent infusion of mesenchymal stem cells. The second study involved human lung preparations demonstrating how endotoxin decreased alveolar fluid clearance to zero but this was restored after administration of mesenchymal stem cells. With these studies concluded, Dr. Matthay announced that UCSF together with the University of Pittsburgh is ready to submit an NIH grant application for a human Phase I trial study regarding patient safety in using MSC. The PI at Pitt will be Dr. Luis Ortiz, Director of the Division of Occupational Medicine. Several other Pitt School of Medicine faculty members will be involved, including a selected member of the Department of Critical Care Medicine. Dr. Matthay's second lecture on November 15 was an outstanding review of current knowledge of ARDS and treatment of acute lung injury. His two presentations stirred up numerous questions in the subsequent discussion. Dr. Michael Pinsky introduced Dr. Matthay before his research conference and Dr. Derek Angus concluded the second day's presentation by congratulating Dr. Matthay for his successful research and thanked him for a most appreciated visit to our department.

I wanted to update you on my technical issues as I've had a few questions. It turns out the problem is on my memory card for my camera. Quite simple to solve as I just need to get a new one, I will need to take new pictures though as the ones on the card are lost :( thankfully not too many as I'd only recently cleared it.
I will be back soon to share my very late blog hop pictures! Thank you for being so patient.

That said, there are still tons of requests on the Xbox official UserVoice feedback website for all sorts of new features and functionality, including requests for the return of some old features such as Snap mode.
We'd like to hear from you what features you think still need to hit Xbox One in the future, whether it's your own idea, or a feature you miss from platforms like Steam or PlayStation Network.
For me, I'd like to see more store features, such as gifting, wishlists, and a cart for bulk purchases. Hit the forum thread below with your own thoughts.
From the forums: What is ONE Xbox Live feature we still don't have that you really wish we did?

2004, marks the winery's first release.
The varieties:
Cabernet Sauvignon – Champoux and Chandler Reach cabernet sauvignon grapes combine together creating an aromatic bouquet of exuberantly rich flavors, hints of dry cherry and chocolate with lasting extended flavors.
Complements well with – rustic breads and bold flavorful cheese, steak or lamb, chocolate mouse' or a dense rich dessert.
Syrah – Opens with abundant fruit combined with subtle citrus, lingering into a sweet chocolate mandarin finish. By creatively combining 2 different merlots and a tiny bit of cab, this wine extends and pleases.
Balance flavors with – pears and goat cheese, pheasant, rabbit, duck, or fruits and crème.
Merlot – An earthy natural beginning, transitions into intense berries off the vine fruitiness and ends in a balanced smooth silky tannic finish.
Pairs well with – light crackers with smooth cheeses such as, brie or crème la freche, simple grilled red meats or almond torte, vanilla cake or pastry.
2005, Queen Anne Winery adds a Sangiovese
Sangiovese – Super Tuscan, styled after the original Chianti without the added tannin. Opens with intense spice laced with black currant and a hint of huckleberry. A slow start finishes long, demonstrating the subtle complexity of the grape.
Couple flavors with: Tapas', hearty red or white sauces or a winter stew, fresh fruit with crème' la fresh or crème'.

Weight is one of those annoying, horrible issues people either talk about way too much or are afraid to address at all. In other words, if we suddenly lose 20 pounds, everyone loves to say "Oh wow, have you lost weight? You look great," and we reply modestly by saying, "Oh well maybe a few pounds, I've been [fill in the blank with working out, on a new diet, having occassional lipo, starving myself, taking new antidepressants that make me lose my appetite, etc.]. I can't believe you noticed," followed by a shy smile. Or, let's say someone packs on some pounds and we start to notice. This is when we don't like to mention weight. However, this doesn't stop us from calling a mutual friend we share with the fat person and saying, "Omg, have you seen Fat Person lately? Is she pregnant? Didn't think so. Wow what a [whale, tub of lard, chunk, fat ass, etc]! I can't believe it."
Now, as a person who has been Suddenly Skinny, Fat Person, Gossip, and Mutual friend of Fat Person and Gossip, I'd like to share some thoughts:
1. There are so many reasons people gain/lose weight. Some may be obvious, such as they just don't give a shit anymore and enjoy laying on their couch and watching TV and venturing to Taco Bell every other night for Fourthmeal as opposed to running. Or maybe they've started going to the gym 4-5 times a week because they looked in the mirror and noticed their stomach hangs out more than their feet or there are 4 rolls now instead of 3 or their thighs are touching or they can't even fit into their "fat day" pair of jeans anymore. However, there are also many private reasons. Maybe Fat Person actually IS pregnant and didn't tell Gossip because she's not ready to announce it to the whole crew yet. Or maybe Suddenly Skinny actually does have some sort of eating disorder. Before deciding whether or not you're going to mention the weight change, just think over all the possibilities and ponder whether it's worth it or not.
2. The size of your clothes is not the determining factor. We've all known that person (your mom, perhaps?) who is so accustomed to being a size 12 that when she gains 10 pounds and needs to bump it up to a 14 she just refuses. This causes muffin top and actually makes the person look even bigger, whereas if they would just buy a bigger size they would look better. Let's face it, I'm a size 2 at New York & Company and a size 8 at Express. I'm not going to try to fit my big butt into a pair of size 2 skinny jeans at Express. The zipper would get stuck (if I could even get them up past my thighs), the seam in the butt would rip, new rolls would appear out of nowhere, and/or every time I'd go to put them on I'd have to do at least 15 minutes of squatting and calisthenics. (In the words of Chingy, I'd have to "jump up and down," "wiggle it around," and "lay back on the bed just to zip em up." You know there's thick girls from the STL down to the A-Town.) Bottom line is (no pun intended) that it's okay to go up or down a few sizes if it looks hot (for example, if yo waist so little and yo ass is like woah) and/or it feels comfy.
3. Everyone has their own (and sometimes multiple) definitions of fat. If I see a girl that's my size walking down the street, I probably think, "That girl's cute," and would never call her big at all. I might even think she looks skinny. However, I'm allowed to say "God I look so effing fat right now," even though I realize that I'm not fat. I think we should accept this. I'm not offended anymore when my skinny friend says "I'm fat" because for her, maybe she is a little fat. She's not saying that I'm fat, just because I happen to be bigger than her. Fat Friend, don't be offended when Skinny Friend feels fat. Maybe Skinny Friend is used to weighing 100 pounds in high school and is struggling with the fact that she's now 115. The opposite also applies. If 300-pound friend drops 40 pounds, it's possible for Skinny Friend to say, "Wow you look skinny!" and really mean it and be happy for them. Basically, we all have our God-given body types and range of acceptable sizes. Conversely, we all have unacceptable sizes as well. If Fat Friend turns into a toothpick or Skinny Friend has a Kirstie Alley experience, Good Friend should intervene and say "Eat some food, bitch," or "You're growing at exponential rates." Or maybe something more encouraging like "Are you okay?...you've lost too much weight," or "Wanna power walk with me?"

It is with deep sadness and regret that we announce the passing of Mr. Benjamin P. McLaurin '69, Director of Career Counseling and Placement for Business Majors in the Division of Business Administration and Economics. Ben has been a pillar of strength to the Morehouse Community and a tremendous support of both academic and extra-curricular programs for the past 38 years.For many years, Ben had been catalyst for progress within the Division of Business and Economics. In the 80's, he pioneered and co-founded the National and International Spring Tour for Business and Economics majors with Dr. James Hefner and Dr. John Williams, respectively. He expanded the horizons of our students to travel to lands from China to South Africa, from Italy to Japan, from Brazil to France and many of the business centers throughout America.
This year, his efforts placed at least 50 Morehouse interns on Wall Street for the summer of 2007. According to Dean John Williams' 69, division dean of Business and Economics, this is an impressive record by any standard and sets the bar for others American Colleges and Universities.
Funeral arrangements are in the planning stages and will be disseminated when received.
The Office of Career Planning and Placement has developed a email address for alumni of the Division to express their condolences to his sister, Dana and the rest of the Morehouse Business and Economics Division family.
The email address is: firstname.lastname@example.com.

I hope I'm not breaching some "mancode" or something when I say that… Father's Day? Most of us Dad's really aren't that into it.
Oh sure it's nice to get a couple of extra hugs and I for one am always in favor of presents, but like Mother's Day and Valentines Day, it is a manufactured holiday. A day you're told to show the appropriate appreciation or risk the wrath of your loved ones.
If Father's Day is supposed to be a day when you feel loved and appreciated by your kids, then for me, Father's Day happens all year long in those wonderful spontaneous moments. That text message from your daughter in Boston at three o'clock in the afternoon on a random Tuesday that simply says: "I love you Papa." That call from your son asking for advice and the even better realization that he is actually listening. Wandering by the storefront window of your daughter's work, watching her in action and seeing the confidence and security in the way she carries herself.
Those are the moments I'm truly grateful to be a Dad.
I married young; probably too young, so much of those early years of marriage seem a blur. I didn't know what to do, when to do it or how it should be done. I just blundered my way through. I don't remember there being endless discussions with my wife about the concept of having kids, there weren't spirited debates or any weighing of the pros and cons. Which seems strange to me now.
On the other hand, we had endless debates about far less important issues. Buying a couch could take six months before we could come to any sort of agreement. But I think after three years of marriage we just sort of looked at each other and said: "Let's make a baby. It's time." Starting a family is the biggest decision a couple can make and one that couples by and large take as a given. Now I know why.
Because if you really knew what you were getting into? The task of parenting would seem overwhelming. You are bringing an actual human being into the world. If you really, really thought it out… a lot of people would bail. The pressure would be unbelievable. The margin for error slim. The stakes far too high.
But most parents start out feeling they have control over this "thing." It's only hard if you don't have a plan. So, you make one. Establish a loving, nurturing environment, set parameters of behavior, be consistent with their execution… lather, rinse, repeat and twenty-one years later… you walk away having created the child of your dreams. The perfect family.
But it doesn't work like that, does it? Because despite your best efforts, they become… people. People with strengths and flaws you never factored in. They become the best parts of you and the worst parts of you and other characteristics good and bad you never saw coming.
They are not the children you dreamed they would be.
But by God, they are so much better. They succeed when you're sure they will fail, they fall on their faces tripping over the smallest things. They surprise you with their kindness and shock you with their cruelty. In time, they become the perfect, flawed people they were meant to be.
My kids are all in their twenties now and I know for a fact that everything I tried to teach them failed, And everything good they learned from me happened when I wasn't trying. Because that's the way life works. It's messy and unpredictable and seldom sticks to your script.
But would you really have it any other way?
So you can choose to celebrate Father's Day every third Sunday in June if you want, but I think I'll stick to holding onto my Father's Day moments and be grateful for them throughout the year. Whenever they may come.
But just for the record, come next June 16th… I still want the presents.

fartlek |ˈfärtlik|
a system of
training for distance runners in which the terrain and pace are
continually varied to eliminate boredom and enhance psychological
aspects of conditioning.
alternately: a system of training in
which you will simultaneously curse and praise the day the Swedes
introduced this brilliant torture to the rest of the world.
ORIGIN 1940s: from Swedish, from fart 'speed' + lek 'play.'
I want to talk about my simultaneously most and least favorite
exercise: the fartlek. Fartlek is Swedish for "speed play," and it's a
more flexible version of interval training. It's most often used in
reference to running, but the principles can be adapted for essentially
any cardio workout: running, walking, cycling, or swimming.
of all, let's talk about why interval training is important. There's a
lot of research out there about what contributes to peak fitness and
performance, and interval training checks of many of the standard boxes.
It increases cardiovascular fitness and athletic performance and trains
the body to be more efficient in using stored energy. It challenges the body by forcing it to switch between the aerobic and anaerobic systems. And it burns more calories
than a standard workout. This means you will be challenging your body
on every level: burning fat, increasing your overall fitness, and
improving your muscles' ability to recover from a tough workout.
you're new to fartleks, here's an easy way to start. First, pick your
poison: run, bike, or swim. Start with an easy 10 minute warm up to get
your muscles loose. It's important to warm up – jumping right in to an
intense workout can cause injury. Once you're warmed up, get started
with your intervals. Increase your speed until you are pushing yourself –
fast enough that you can just barely maintain the speed for a full
minute. When that minute is up, slow down to an easy pace for a two
minute recovery. Repeat for 20-30 minutes, then cool down.
first few times I attempted fartleks, it was more or less a disaster. I
was a wheezing, shoulder-slumping mess of sweat and shaking muscles. I
can't promise your first attempt will be any less exhausting. But what I
can promise is that if you keep trying – pushing yourself for a minute
and recovering for two until you physically can't speed up for one last
"sprint" – you'll be pleasantly surprised a few weeks or a few months
in, when those sprints that used to knock you flat suddenly feel like
you're gliding on air. The first time I realized that I was maintaining a
pace that was three minutes faster than my usual "slow" pace for an
entire minute without physically collapsing onto the ground, I felt like
I could accomplish anything.
you start to hit your fartlek stride, you'll find your overall fitness
improving. I've shaved a minute off my pace in the last six months, and I
find that the sprinting part of the interval is invigorating me rather
than decimating me. If you start to feel comfortable with the one-to-two
interval ratio, start switching things up. Try two minutes hard, two
minutes recovery, then three minutes hard, two minutes recovery.
Incorporate short sprints into longer workouts. Got a weekly ten mile
run or a forty mile bike ride that's starting to feel humdrum? Add some
30-second sprints in at regular intervals, especially towards the end of
the workout to challenge your body to push through the exhaustion at
the end of a long workout. Be sure to focus on form when you're
sprinting in these longer workouts – don't sacrifice form for speed,
because that can lead to injury.
Take care of your body:
are an excellent way to break through a training or weight loss plateau
and push your body to train more efficiently. They will speed recovery
time and increase your cardiovascular endurance, making for a healthier
heart. If you're looking for a way to pump up your calorie burn, break
out of an athletic rut, or improve a race time, high intensity intervals
like fartleks are the way to go. Just be sure to properly warm up
beforehand and cool down and stretch afterwards.

The LGFA have announced that they are to seek an amicable solution to the ongoing dispute within Kerry ladies football.
Chairman Mike Moriarty and secretary Maurice Dunworth, who are both from the Ballyduff club, resigned at the weekend after minor manager Jonathan Griffin had his contract terminated by email, with questions marks hanging over finances and procedures.
The LGFA released a statement today outlining their approach to the issue: "At a Management Committee meeting of the Ladies Gaelic Football Association (LGFA) Central Council, held on Tuesday, February 20, correspondence arising from the current dispute in Kerry LGFA was discussed.
"While it was deemed that the situation did not warrant an official LGFA investigation, the Management Committee agreed that the matters raised can only be solved by internal dialogue within Kerry.
"To that end, they are arranging for a club forum to be convened in Kerry at the earliest possible opportunity.
"This forum will be overseen by the LGFA's Development team, where representatives from all clubs in Kerry will be invited to attend.
"It is hoped that this will lead to a swift and amicable resolution of all outstanding issues in Kerry LGFA."

And it took some time. We didn't get on the water till after 10 having to wait for the gate to be unlocked then shuttle cars. We took 3 fairly long breaks from the mild but continual headwinds, including a nice picnic.
Then once we hit the Eno River, we had a bit of trouble finding our way. It's not an easy place to navigate normally, lots of winding channels, but with the water levels so high after Tropical Storm Hannah last week, there were no discernible channels. We ended up missing an important turn, and then every thing looked like our next left turn. We paddled right into a swamp, even while consulting our multiple maps and GPS. Dave described it as "this way, that way, not the right way". We finally retraced our path and paddled up to a small fishing boat figuring we'd follow them in. They were lost too, had run out of gas, and were waiting on a relative to find them. We turned around, went the wrong way again, retraced a bit further and finally found the right channel and our way to the take out.
We finally finished just at 7:30, the sun had just gone down, the full moon was already out, but there was lots of twilight left to pack up.
As usual, it was another great day on the water.

Continued growth in train and bus use by Stansted Airport passengers
PUBLISHED: 15:03 08 March 2018
London Stansted has maintained its position as the UK's leading airport for public transport use, delegates at its annual transport forum heard.
Around 12.5m passengers a year now access public transport at Stansted – more than Luton, Birmingham, East Midlands and Manchester airports combined.
Stansted chief executive Ken O'Toole said: "In the last year alone, through our public transport levy, we have invested £100,000 into our partnership with Arriva to provide the next generation of energy efficient buses on key routes to Bishop's Stortford and Harlow.
"We have also provided £150,000 to support the Airport Commuter Centre and travel card which has helped push the number of staff using public transport to around one third of the airport population."
Jamie Burles, managing director of train operator Greater Anglia, added: "We're pleased to be working in close partnership with Stansted Airport to encourage even more people to take the train to connect with their flights.
"Last year saw the Stansted Express achieve its highest-ever share of journeys to and from the airport with over 30% of travellers accessing the airport by train.
"Customer satisfaction with the Stansted Express is at 93% and during 2019/20 we will introduce brand new trains on the service, which will offer an even higher quality service with more seats and superfast wifi, to provide a further step change as the airport continues to thrive and passenger numbers increase still further."
More than 150 delegates from local authorities, transport providers, airlines, businesses and industry gathered at the forum, which was held at the Radisson Blu Hotel, close to the airport's main terminal.
Mr O'Toole and Stansted's transformation director, Paul Willis, also provided updates on the airport's five-year investment programme to transform airport facilities, the centrepiece being a new £130m arrivals terminal which will make Stansted the only UK airport to operate dedicated arrivals and departures terminals.

Sunset in Boot Key Harbor. See all the boats lined up nice on the moorings?
Archive for January, 2009
Entry for January 3, 2009January 3, 2009
Entry for January 3, 2009January 3, 2009
It's hard for us to believe but we are back in a marina for a long-term stay. We had pretty much settled down to life on a mooring – the privacy of our own space with overhead of being unplugged from electric, telephone, TV, etc. of the "real†world.
Yesterday (Jan 1), we completed our two day sail back from Key West where we spent New Years Eve. Key West was a zoo with tons of people and everyone in a party mood. We actually didn't stay in town until midnight and were asleep when the New Year arrived but we spent all day in town enjoying the good food, good drinks and good friends. Hank, his daughter Melanie and her husband Gary drove down from Marathon and we met them for lunch. Then we shopped and ended up at "Sunset Pier†for an awesome sunset over the Atlantic / Gulf of Mexico (they meet in Key West).
The past couple weeks have been a little more busy than normal as we enjoyed Christmas and the holidays. Both Laura and I missed our families and it was a very difficult decision to stay here and not drive or fly to Upstate NY to spend time with them. But, we really couldn't afford it as our charter business has yet to bring in any money this winter.
We do have some good news with the charter business which is why we are in a marina. Soon after we arrived here in the beginning of December, we approached several local marinas on becoming partners with us for sailing charters. We needed a partner to allow us to pick up and drop off charter guests plus have a local address for obtaining the business permits. All of them turned us down for different reasons (didn't want the extra work, didn't want the additional liability, didn't have the extra parking, ….) except for the Marathon Marina who was thinking about it. After two weeks of checking back with them and receiving no answer, I finally walked into the office when the off-site manager was there. I immediately felt better as he started talking because I could tell he felt the same way as we did – a partnership with us for sailing charters would be good for their business too! What they offered us was a big discount on a marina slip for the next three months and local help with starting our business like advertising and ideas. YEA! In fact, the price we are paying for the marina is less than $100 / month more than the mooring was costing us and we receive many additional benefits like no wear and tear on our boat from running the engine every day and always discharging and charging our batteries, we can just step off the boat and walk for exercise, and we have a permanent place to work our charter business! Plus, we have cable TV!!! It was an easy decision.
We spent Christmas Eve with new friends Bob and Carol on Place-for-us, a 43' Nordhaven trawler. Our dinner was baked ham with Carol's famous potato salad. It was fun and we talked a lot about places we'd each been. On Christmas Day we attended a pot-luck at the Dockside Restaurant with about 120 other boaters. They had music (local guitar players) and tons of food. They supplied turkey, ham (again!) and a roast pig that wasn't ready until everyone was done eating. All the boaters brought a dish and there was plenty to go around.
The day after Christmas Laura cooked up our big meal – ham (again!) and scalloped potatoes with fresh green beans and a nice salad. We had bought this ham for Christmas dinner before we knew about the pot-luck. It was awesome and we ate lots of leftovers for the next several days.
We left for Key West on Dec 30th and had one of best sails ever for the first 30 miles. The winds were 10-15 from behind us and the seas were very light as we slowly drifted west. I found a local radio station that played slow, laid-back 40s and 50s music which fit perfectly with our downwind sail. During our three days in Key West we checked out the local anchorages and city moorings for possible future charters. I couldn't believe how many charter boats there were in Key West! Most of them were huge and held 100s of people for snorkeling or sunset cruises. Key West was nice but very busy. We were glad to leave after 3 days and head back to laid-back Marathon.
Laura leaves this Wednesday for 2 weeks out west visiting her family including the newest grandson Ryan who is less then 2 months old. I have a few jobs on my list for when she is gone and a tentative date with Hank to take Second Wind for a trip around the western Keys to check out snorkeling spots and anchorages which we may use on future charters. I'll also be spending as much time as I can advertising our charters and booking trips for when she returns on Jan 21st. Hopefully, we'll be very busy with charters after that.
We wish our families and all of our friends the best year ever in 2009!!
The picture is our Christmas party on the deck at Dockside.
