Aim. The purpose of this study was to determine the in vitro response of cells critical to the wound healing process in culture media supplemented with a lyophilized preparation rich in growth factors (PRGF) and Manuka honey. Materials and Methods. This study utilized cell culture media supplemented with PRGF, as well as whole Manuka honey and the medical-grade Medihoney (MH), a Manuka honey product. The response of human fibroblasts (hDF), macrophages, and endothelial cells (hPMEC) was evaluated, with respect to cell proliferation, chemotaxis, collagen matrix production, and angiogenic potential, when subjected to culture with media containing PRGF, MH, Manuka honey, and a combination of PRGF and MH. Results. All three cell types demonstrated increases in cellular activity in the presence of PRGF, with further increases in activity seen in the presence of PRGF+MH. hDFs proved to be the most positively responsive cells, as they experienced enhanced proliferation, collagen matrix production, and migration into an in vitro wound healing model with the PRGF+MH-supplemented media. Conclusion. This preliminary in vitro study is the first to evaluate the combination of PRGF and Manuka honey, two products with the potential to increase regeneration individually, as a combined product to enhance dermal regeneration.

Concerning Arsenal
- Theo Walcott is set to start as the lone striker in England's Under – 21 Final against Germany.
- Cesc Fabregas wins a bronze medal with Spain in the Confederations Cup.
- Arsenal are reportedly interested in re-signing Alex Hleb from Barcelona for a cut price.
- Marouane Chamakh is certain he will be leaving Bordeaux this summer.
- Robin van Persie reaffirms his commitment towards Arsenal.
- New links to Serdar Tasci and Mehmet Topçu, both young prospects
The other pointless competition, the Confederations Cup, has been won by Brazil after a come from behind victory against the Americans. Spain comes in third after defeating South Africa. This means two things: first Cesc Fabregas gets the break he needs and deserves, and second, Felipe Melo has time to speak with Arsenal about a move to London.
Another name being mentioned as a possible Arsenal Target is Alex Hleb. Yes, you heard me right, I said Alex Hleb. The same Alex who begged to leave London last summer, now wants to crawl back. Does Arsene take him back? For a cut price, near half of what we sold him for, that's worth considering. He would be great as a squad player. Wait, he's not happy with that. Ok, next…
Since I'm now on the topic of transfers, I'd might as well mention that Marouane Chamakh has stated that he expects to leave Bordeaux this summer even though the club have apparently not received a formal offer from an English club:
"Although I have not decided where my future is going to be, it is clear that I will leave the club.
"My first objective is to play in England. I know there are some German and Italian clubs who have contacted the club, but I want to play in the Premier League in a more exciting championship."
From one striker to another, Robin van Persie has confirmed that he will be staying at arsenal, and aims to be the best while he's here:
I see the potential at Arsenal. We have to do it. One fact which aggravates me is that in the five years I've been at Arsenal, we've won exactly the same number of trophies as I did at Feyenoord – ONE – that's not enough. When I arrived here, Arsenal were winning trophies for fun. But, if everyone is fit, we have a heck of a team and it's up to me to ensure we go out and win these trophies."
"I'm not in negotiations with any other club – just Arsenal. I want to become the best player in the world. My career will only be a success when I consider myself the best. Anything less won't do."
Next year is big for RvP. He needs to stay healthy and on form if we even want to be considered as title challengers. Good for him to stop the rumours before they start, and he's even ambitious! This could mean big things for Arsenal…
Finally, Arsenal have been linked to two young(ish) prospects in Serdar Tasci and Mehmet Topçu. Check them out for yourselves. One is a 22 year defender at a german club, the other, a 16 year old CM from Turkey.
Thanks for reading!!
Please leave your comments and opinions!!

I think Abe is a fun character. Old and cantankerous, I figured I'd make him older and more cantankerous. I thought I'd throw in that he'd also be very religious and superstitious as many old timers are.
*An animation history irony:
People tend to think of cartoons as exaggerations of reality - and that was pretty much taken for granted up until the 1960s.
In 1960, Hanna and Barbera created the first prime time animated cartoon - the precursor to the Simpsons and every other cartoon sitcom that followed.
The characters and situations in the Flintstones were inspired by the live action "The Honeymooners". So you would imagine that the animated show would be much more exaggerated than its live-action counterpart.
While I love the Flintstones, the irony is that it is really a toned-down version of the Honeymooners. The live characters in the Honeymooners are much more exaggerated than the cartoon. They have more depth to the personalities and a much broader range of expressions and gestures.
I don't know how this came about, but the Flintstones' animation style must have seeped into the consciousness of generations of TV watchers all the way to today. Every animated sitcom that has been ever made is less exaggerated than characters in live action sitcoms - and even less exaggerated than real people in general (and even less exaggerated than Hanna Barbera cartoons).
So I wanted to do an experiment and reverse the trend by animating the Simpsons using their same basic personalities, but adding more range and expression to the acting - by caricaturing what is already there in a milder form.
Alas, Matt, Al and I came up with so many ideas - including a song, that we couldn't fit them all into the minute and a half slot. Maybe they'll let me animate a whole episode one day.

Vikram J Singh, who was the senior defense adviser to Richard Holbrooke, the erstwhile United States special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, has been appointed to a key Pentagon post -- deputy assistant secretary of defense for south and Southeast Asia.
After Holbrooke's sudden death, Singh was promoted to be one of the two deputies, along with Dan Feldman, to assist Frank Ruggiero, the acting special representative to the Af-Pak region.
But after Marc Grossman was appointed to succeed Holbrooke, many of the latter's hand-picked advisers, including Singh, were in limbo because Grossman brought in his own team.
Several of Holbrooke's team returned to their earlier positions in the agencies from which they were plucked or to the various think tanks.
Singh was also a product of an influential think tank, the Center for a New American Policy, where he served as a fellow, working on Afghanistan and Pakistan, the Asia Initiative '09, and a range of CNAS defense strategy and planning projects until 2009.
But his Pentagon appointment was a homecoming of sorts. From 2003 to 2007, he had worked in the Office of the assistant secretary of Defense for Global Security Affairs. He was responsible for strategic initiatives to improve the US military's work with partner nations, including the policy oversight and management of a joint Department of Defense and Department of State program to train and equip foreign military forces around the world.
Singh was one of the Pentagon's top policy analysts and worked on issues like counter-insurgency and irregular warfare capabilities, disaster response and humanitarian assistance, oversight of peacekeeping missions.
In his new avatar at the Pentagon, Singh replaces Robert Scher, who has moved to the Planning Bureau at DOD as a deputy assistant secretary of defense.
Track record
An alumnus of the University of California, Berkeley and Columbia University, from where he received his BA in history and MA in international security policy, respectively, Singh joined the government as a Presidential Management Fellow.
He managed a five-country Ford Foundation project in South Asia that was focused on minority rights and security in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal for the International Center for Ethnic Studies, headquartered in Colombo.
Singh was also, for a few years, a journalist, having been a reporter for the Voice of America in Sri Lanka and South Africa.
In 2002, he was awarded the Foreign Language and Areas Studies Fellowship. He is an International Fellow of Columbia University. He has received a Superior Honor Award from the Department of State, at the time he was part of Holbrooke's team.

Errabelli Dayakar Rao's self goal in Assembly - NTv
TDLP leader Errabelli Dayakar Rao's approach is pushing TDP into the defense and this got clarified again with his stance on naming Shamshabad airport's domestic terminal after NTR. AP CM Chandrababu Naidu had to exercise hard in getting the terminal named after NTR and Errabelli poured waters on that efforts and he also echoed against naming the airport after NTR along with the opposing MLAs in the Assembly thereby pushing his own party into a corner.

Blizzard said a big fat "NO" to mumblings that StarCraft II will feature in-game advertising.
Fears that this was planned for the sequel stemmed from comments made by Activision boss Bobby Kotick earlier this week, when he appeared to refer to the possibility of ads appearing in the game.
"[Blizzard] has been thinking about how StarCraft, because it is a short-session experience, can actually be the model for in-game advertising and sponsorship and tournament play and ladder play for the future," he said at the Morgan Stanley Technology conference.
However, it seems Kotick was talking about Blizzard's long-running online gaming platform Battle.net.
"We have no plans to have in-game advertising in StarCraft II. We believe Bobby was actually referring to Battle.net, which has always included ads," the developer said in response. Phewee.

Family Adventure to Iceland in Winter
Family of 4 adults and 1 child visited Iceland in March 2017
"We are an adventurous family, 2 adults, children ages 20, 17 and 13. We definitely would like photo opportunies for the northern lights with dSLR. We definitely would like to experience the blue lagoon or a similar bathing hot spring. Very interested in seeing waterfalls, natural ice and rock formations and hot springs. A jeep adventure is great. Not opposed to hiking."
Chris McCarty, a local specialist from Iceland, helped this traveler put together a customized itinerary based on Iceland in Winter: How to make the most of limited daylight.

Trip planning highlights
Highlights of the South Coast
Trip planning conversation
Hi, welcome to kimkim! I'll work with you to create a custom trip plan for your time in Iceland.
Based on your preferences, here's what I would recommend:
Day 1: Land, and explore part of the south coast toward Vik (black sand beaches, cliffs, waterfalls)
Day 2: Hiking in Skaftafell to Svartifoss waterfall, Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and Diamond beach, seeing glaciers (or even a glacier walk or ice cave tour).
Day 3: back along south coast towards Reykjavik (you can see anything you skipped on day 1), and then stay outside of Reykjavik along the Golden Circle route where you can soak in the Secret lagoon and have a better opportunity for northern lights away from the city lights
Day 4: Golden Circle, into Reykjavik for a bit, or blue lagoon on the way to the airport.
One Day 3 we could also organize a super jeep tour of the Thorsmork area
Actually on Thurs, Mar 16-it will be just 2 people at first and we plan to stay in the capital for that day. The rest of the family is coming late Thurs night and then 1 daughter comes Friday am into the airport. From there we would like the excursion to begin, ending at the airport on Sunday the 19th in late afternoon. How does your custom trip plan work? Thanks for getting back to me.
Got it, we can arrange it so that you are all able to meet up on those days.
You would basically need to choose between Skaftafell and the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, or the Golden Circle. I don't think you can fit both in with the entire family.
I think the Glacier Lagoon is a more unique experience, but it will be a little more driving overall.
For the custom trip, I work with you to offer suggestions and recommendations for your time (activities, and restaurants too) and with your feedback we will settle on a final trip plan, and I can provide quotes for car rental, accommodations, and any other activities (like ice cave tour, glacier walk, snowmobile, etc). Then we ask for payment of the kimkim service fee as a down payment, and we will make all arrangements for you and put together a detailed packet for you about all the areas you will go past, best places to stop and see, recommended restaurants, etc.
So one chooses the south coast of skaftafell and the glacier lagoon area for our 3 days excursion with the car, ending in the capital area with a blue lagoon dip on the same day we fly out. How is the Golden Circle a different trip? What is the secret lagoon-how different from blue lagoon? If we choose the glacier lagoon area with skaftafell-would there be an opportunity to see the NOrthern LIghts, granted the atmospheric conditions are good enough?
The Golden Circle loop consists of Thingvellir National Park, Geysir geothermal area, and Gullfoss Waterfall. Its probably the most popular driving route in Iceland, so it can also be pretty packed. You could also consider driving that part with those of you who arrive earlier the first day.
The secret lagoon is much smaller than the blue lagoon, but also much less crowded. The Blue lagoon is more of a spa, while the secret lagoon more of a geothermal hot springs area (looks like a shallow pool, with water coming in from the rocks).
The Northern lights is never guaranteed, but one of the best things you can do is to stay outside of Reykjavik, which you will be doing on the south coast. You could also join a northern lights hunt from Reykjavik where a small van will take you out of the city to a few different areas.
So you think that my family should stay along the south coast and do the 'less travelled' things there for2 whole days before heading back toward the capital? What is realistic for us to do-one person would like dogsledding, my husband would love the jeep-off roading (bec we do 4 wheeling here in states, but then again if you feel that it is doing the same thing like one does in the states but just different scenery)-would you recommend foregoing that given limited time? I am totally into photography for years and of course would want to capture the dramatic scenery and northern lights (if lucky enough). Ice caves with blue light (tour?) or ice formations on diamond beach or similar near Vik area? We are all rather very fit people so are game for doing as much as possible; and having a 'vacation' after this long weekend. My children will be home for Thanksgiving break from college so the more we present to them, then we can get a better idea what is realistic for us. My daughter and I, on the first day will be alone. I am not opposed to venturing out with a car to see some spectacular things to photograph or do with her. I can drive a 4 wheel drive manual. We would like to save the 'best' for the whole family to enjoy. Thanks for your time.
In that case I think you should do the South coast, I can find a hotel for you on Saturday night so that you can have the option to see more along the south coast on your drive back, or get an earlier start and go to the golden circle on your last day depending on how you feel. I'll find some options for ice caves, dogsledding, and 4WD as well. There are also ATV tours if that is something you are interested in, but quite different from super jeeps.
We would need Thurs, Fri, and Sat accomodations. We have never been on AWD, not opposed to it-do we need to bring our ski goggles for this?
For ATV they will supply all necessary gear.
I'll put together a quote for Accommodation for 4 on Thursday in Reykjavik, and 5 on Friday and Saturday along the south coast, and for a rental car for 5 people.
I will also list a few activities you can do and quote for all of them so that you can decide which ones you want to do the most.
What time are are the flight arrivals and what time do you fly out on Sunday?
2 of us fly in from JFK on Thurs , 2 fly in from London at night on Thurs, 1 flies in from Montreal the next morning. Our earliest flight on Sunday is at 3:30pm . The rental car should be a 4 wheel drive (manual is ok if needs be).
Ok, thanks. For your hotel in Reykjavik. Are you ok with a guesthouse downtown that has shared bathrooms between some of the rooms? (only 1 person at a time in the bathroom). Also, would you prefer 2 separate rooms that night so that the 2 of you are not woken up when the other party arrives late at night? There's an option for a single room with 4 twins, or 2 rooms 1 with a queen and one with 2 twins.
Then I will send over some information on the areas you will visit and other optional activities, stops, and detours. I will include quotes for accommodation, rental, and activity options as well.
What are the prices? We would prefer private bathroom. IS there an option of 2 double beds in 1 room to have 4 people? The other nights when there are 5 of us. If we can't fit into one room with private baths, then my husband and I can be in 1 room and the 3 girls in another room.
I found a better deal for a 2-room apartment that is very central for $151. It has 1 room with a queen bed, and another room with 2 twins. For the second night near Vik I found a hotel with 2 rooms, 1 double and 1 triple. And for the third night a private cottage with several rooms in it. I will send all information shortly
Hi, I put together all information including pickup times (and options), highlights of each day, and other activities you may be interested in (see the link to the PDF above). The quote is included in there as well for accommodations, car rental, and service fee (and any of the activities that you decide on).
This looks great! How much time does one need at airport for departure-assume 2 hrs, is that enough? We also want to make sure the accommodations are well rated for we are not on a strict budget. Intriguing- one can go scuba diving in March in a fissure (I assume drysuit)? Is there much to see? We are all PADI certified and 2 of my daughters are certified rescue divers... We are leaning toward dog sledding. Would this be done on the day when we are near Vik? We are also very interested ice cave tour and if we can fit in the 30min boat tour. Would this all fit on the 3rd day-hike to the waterfall, ice cave, boat tour and see diamond beach and follow that river under the bridge to see the small icebergs on the beach?
The boat tours of Jokulsarlon don't start up again until May. In Winter the water is colder and there is a lot more ice in the water making it harder (and more dangerous) to navigate. That said, you can still appreciate a lot from the shore, and by climbing the hill near the parking lot. You will still be able to walk along Diamond Beach.
You can scuba (or snorkel) at Silfra Fissure year round. It's a pretty famous place because the visibility is great, and you can touch both the European and North American tectonic plates at the same time. There are tours at 11am each day 39,990 ISK ($353 USD)/person, and you go for 2 dives, roughly 30 min each. It would be a little hard to fit into the existing itinerary. It may be cutting it a bit close on Sunday, and if you did it on Friday you wouldn't be able get to the other sights along the southern coast until later in the day. If you were set on it, You could spend the morning of Friday seeing the Golden Circle, do the dive, and then go along the south coast to Vik and get into Vik on the later side. Anything you skipped you could see again on Sunday on your drive back.
2 hours at the airport should be fine for your departure.
For Dogsledding, it's done at a Ski resort about 45 min outside of Reykjavik at 2pm, so again the only option for that tour would probably be Friday (or Thursday for just the 2 of you). If you wanted to do it on Friday it would be a similar case as the Scuba option where it would cut a fair amount into the south shore sights that day, but you could see some of them on the way back. I think it would be too tight to try to do both the Scuba and the Dogsled that day, even though they are about a 25-minute drive away.
Ok- if they 30min dive X2- pretty cold then and breathing hard. We will skip for another time in future perhaps. Dogsledding sounds like only option for 2 of us on Thurs. That Thurs am would we be able to fit in the golden falls and the like before heading off to ski resort for dogsledding? Also would we be able to fit in the secret lagoon on the last day before heading to the capital or would this be fit on the day when we are near Vik?
Very important to my husband to have well rated accommodations. THanks.
On Thursday you should be able to see Gullfoss and Geysir before the dog sled. It's about 90min drive from Reykjavik to Gullfoss, and about 80 minutes from Gullfoss to the ski resort where the dog sledding is. You'll probably want some more time to see Gullfoss, the Geysir Geothermal area, and maybe walk around Thingvellir a bit, but that should all be possible that day.
On your last day, it would be about 1 hour of extra driving to go to the Secret Lagoon on the way back (4.5hr total that day). It's about 2.5 hours from your accommodation Saturday night to Secret lagoon, so if you leave in the morning and don't have many other stops on the south coast then you could do it. You could also go to the Blue Lagoon that day which is on the way to the airport, but it's quite a bit more crowded.
If you like, I can make the reservations for refundable locations so that we can make a change if you and your husband prefer somewhere else. Given the tight schedule, in some of the well-positioned areas there are limited options, but they are all well-rated. I opted for well-rated places that were more cost effective than the highest rated place in the area, but if you like I can list both the options for you.
What do you think about staying at the hotel at Vik for 2 nights so that we have a shorter drive on Sunday am? Is it possible to drive further east to areas near diamond beach and then drive back that evening to the same hotel so that we can leave bags in one place?
Yes, that could work. It's just over 2 hours between Vik and Jokulsarlon, so it would be about 4.5 hours driving that day, broken up with several stops.
The hotel I had you at before doesn't have the same rooms available for Saturday night, so if you wanted 2 nights it would be more expensive rooms.
Alternatively, here are 2 other options for those nights:
- 3 bedroom house (all rooms have 2 twin): $634 / 2 nights
- Hotel with 2 rooms: 1 king, 3 twin for $814 / 2 nights
What is the cost of the original hotel you had in mind for the 2 nights of more expensive rooms? It would be less wear and tear if we stayed 2 nights in one place.
The previous room was $400 for the night, but only available on Friday.
Either is fine - the 3 bedroom house or the hotel with 2 rooms. Which ever you think you think would be nicer. Only plus for house would be "hang out area". I see that Iceladair Vik HOtel that has Family Room with shower that can has 2 twins and a full bed.
Yes, Icelandair Vik Hotel was the one I had you in for Friday night, but the family room only has beds for 4 people.
On Friday they have a double room and a triple room available.
Yes-do that with option of free cancellation. Book that for the 2 nights. We have a 36ft downeaster that we travel for 2-3 weeks at a time in New England plus 2 english springer spaniels. That space would be palatial.
I'll send you a link to add your payment information to kimkim, which I will use to pay the kimkim service fee and to reserve this room. I can also use it for the activities once you decide on the final ones you want.
Thanks, I'll get started with the reservations
Ok, it's all yours. You will probably get a confirmation email. I will add all confirmation numbers and details to the final packet I send you so that you have it together in one place.
You were comfortable with the manual 4WD SUV, right? If so I'll reserve it now for you and your daughter to pick up at the airport when you land.
We will add the excursions-dogsledding and ice cave tour later. We would definitely do the ice cave tour. Dog sledding would probably be only with my youngest daughter. Manual SUV should be fine. Is there a big difference in cost for manual versus automatic? Is there any time that we should be in low or high gears? Is it a full time 4wd or a 'real' 4wd that is 2wd that you put into 4wd with low and high.
I can check on the price difference compared to an automatic SUV. For your route there is very little up/down hill to worry about, maybe a little bit near the ski resort where the dogsledding is. I'll check the car model the rental agency listed and let you know the 4WD options available.
I am going to create a "proposal" for the outstanding items. For now, I will only charge the kimkim service fee, and when you are ready to add on the other activities I will update it with that information and make the reservations for you.
When I create it you will see it here in the conversation, but you don't need to do anything, I'll use the information you provided to fill it out. Once updated, you will see it listed as "Booked".
Please just make sure that the accommodations are secure for now.
Ok, I will book the other hotel in Reykjavik before the car rental.
If those are the pix for the exact apartment in mind, that is great! Book that one.
Ok, I will. They may be "representative photos", but all of similar quality.
That is fine. Is the Icelandair Hotel Vik family room with private bath already reserved for those 2 nights?
Yes, the one in Vik is reserved.
Here's the confirmation for the one in Reykjavik.
Thanks. We are very excited and my daughters will be thrilled once we discuss during their minibreak from school over Thanksgiving.
Is this a surprise for them? or do they already know about the trip?
They know. One is in college, One is a senior, and the 3rd girl (13yo )l is making/calling most of the shots, standing near me.
I see, well I hope the boss is happy :)
Thanks for all your help. Going to sign off for now until we digest the itinerary and finalize what we would like to accomplish as a group realistically speaking. Either go full out commando style or really take in the sights...
Oldest gets in late tomorrow and we can discuss more on Wed.
If you need home address and contact info, ppl info, etc. - just let me know.
You're welcome. I'll send you the information on the various rental options, and you let me know which you prefer and when you have decided on any other activities.
In the final packet, I'll include some restaurant recommendations for your day in Reykjavik and nights in Vik.
Talk to you soon,
Good morning, here are some rental options for you:
- $287 for Jeep Renegade Trailhawk 4x4 (5 seats, 3 large bags) (automatic)
- $295 "Generic Economy SUV" (listed as 5 people, 2 large bags) - manual
- $310 for Generic Intermediate SUV (like a Ford Escape), (listed as 5 people, 5 bags) - manual
We will do the Jeep Renegade Trailhawk.
Was doing some research for cave tours and I came across the tour by Arctic Adventures which visits the crystal ice cave that departs from Jokularion. The tour is about 2-3hrs long. Is this tour venue good? The first tour leaves at 9:15am. or did you have another tour in mind?
Glacierguides.is also appears to have the same depart times as above mentioned.
I can make the arrangements for the Ice tour for you.
GlacierGuides and ArcticAdventures are sister companies. 9:15, 11:45, 14:30 are the times available that day. It's just a bit over 2 hours to the glacier lagoon fro Vik, so the 11:45 could be a good time, and you can see part of Jokulsarlon or Diamond beach if you get there earlier, or you can see that afterwards as well as Skaftafell before you drive back to Vik that night.
Great- we will do that then at 11:45!
Ok. I will make the reservations. Would you like me to reserve the dog sledding for you and your daughter on the first day as well?
Still will discuss with family.
Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving weekend! Yes- my daughter and I will do the dog sledding that Thursday when we arrive. Will be out of the ski resort near Skalafell with Dogsledding Iceland?
Yes it will be. I'll make those reservations and send you confirmations for that and the ice cave.
Were you able to book a 4X 4 already?
Hi, I have booked the Jeep, you should receive an email with details (I will also include the details in your final packet).
I have reserved the 5 tickets to the Crystal Ice Cave for your time close to Vik.
Enjoy your trip, you're going to have a great time exploring Iceland. Please let me know if you have any other questions or if there is any more that I can do for you.
Safe travels,
Traveler Review
Chris was very helpful and insightful. Always repsonded promptly.
Loved his suggestions and his possible itineraries he laid out for us. There were options and comments to help us gauge how we can cover all that we intended to see.

There are a few accepted dos and don'ts when it comes to pulling your CV together: as much as you're tempted, don't use Curlz as a font, try not to make it novel length and keep the embellishments to a minimum. But should your name and age and education be blanked out? For the sake of bias?
Global accountancy firm Ernst and Young began accepting only 'blind' applications for their graduate program last year and as a result, the company now boasts a 10% increase in employee diversity. The firm not only decided to scrap the collection of personal details, such as name and gender, but it also did away with educational and academic details, in a bid to gain a more varied workplace. Now, one year on, the results speak for themselves: there was a 7 per cent increase in the number of recruits who were the first of their family to attend university, as well as a 10-point increase in the amount of recruits who did not attend a private school.
A mainstream move towards more diverse workplaces has been credited for a range of benefits: a more diverse executive board, for example, is proven to increase earnings and equity, according to this McKinsey study. Additionally, this study shows that a varied group of thinkers can actually outrank high-performance problem solvers.
One year on, there was a 7 per cent increase in the number of recruits who were the first of their family to attend university, as well as a 10-point increase in the amount of recruits who did not attend a private school.
Ernst and Young's move was part of a wider wave of policies working towards discouraging unconscious bias when hiring: also last year, the Victoria Government initiated a pilot program based on the concept of anonymous hiring – with details like name, age and gender omitted from applications – dubbed Recruit Smarter, which was taken up by 29 public and private sector organisations, including Australia Post, Victoria Police, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Westpac.
"By removing unconscious bias, we really hope to create an equal opportunity for all Victorians," Victoria's Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Robin Scott, explained at the time. "Ultimately, this is about fair employment practice and enabling Victorians to apply for jobs without fear their personal information will affect their initial application."

WINNIPEG - Reach for the sky, partner, because there's a new gun in town and he's fixin' to make a name for himself.
Meet Winnipeg-born and raised Jeff Doyle, a.k.a. "The Outlaw" Adam Knight, a 6-foot-5, 280-pound 10-year wrestling veteran who first got hooked on wrestling as a kid watching WWF Superstars on TV Saturday mornings.
"These guys were defying the rules and limitations of their bodies, and giving the people what they wanted to see... They're real life superheroes -- and who doesn't want to be a superhero?" he told SLAM! Wrestling.
Knight broke in under Vance Nevada, starting his training in September 1995. The work was intense as he learned about tying up, taking bumps, and basically "getting my ass kicked."
At 20, he had his first match in January 1996 against Robby Royce, another wrestler who helped train Knight.
"I got my ass handed to me," he said of his first foray into the squared circle.
Knight began his career at an overweight 330 pounds with a "goofy haircut," and he said he now wonders if the beatings he took in the ring were a message from some of his peers to get out of the business.
"I looked like a complete dork... like I didn't belong in a wrestling ring."
His first gimmick, "Yogi Donovan," didn't help either.
But in 1997, Knight felt he captured the character he was most comfortable with -- The Outlaw -- whom he compared to Stan Hansen's in-ring persona.
He described The Outlaw as a loud, brash guy who likes to hurt people, a long way from the short, fat, nerdy kid Knight said he once was.
Marty Goldstein (Martin Boroditsky) met Knight when Knight first began training and called his previous Yogi Donovan gimmick "one of the worst names ever."
But the producer and consultant who originated Rough House Rasslin' in 1994 added that Knight has been able to overcome his previous moniker with The Outlaw character, which he said allowed Knight to become one of the most recognized names in the local territory.
To further his transformation, Knight also underwent about seven months of boxing training in 1998 to improve his footwork and hand speed. He was hitting the gym and eating right too, realizing the sacrifices the business demanded and the need to be tough and look the part of a wrestler.
Goldstein said Knight now looks like an old-school wrestler, namely a big, believable tough guy.
"He's got something that's in short supply and that's the big guy" with coordination and a lot of athletic skill included. "He can deliver a top match... I haven't seen a bad Adam Knight match."
"The Mecca" Shane Madison (Jeff Wallace), who feuded with Knight in Action Wrestling Entertainment (AWE), called Knight multi-faceted, a wrestler able to do different styles and keep up with smaller guys or work so-called "big man matches."
"He's a ring general -- not a slow, plodding big guy," Madison said.
Both Madison and Goldstein felt Knight might not have been used to his full potential in AWE.
"The real story on him is he deserved better than he's got," Goldstein said, but added Knight never whined and just continued to work.
Madison, however, wondered whether Knight's somewhat limited push reflected the difficult balancing act the AWE situation required, as the promotion used not only local guys, but also former WWE notables and wrestlers from across Canada.
But as far as Knight is concerned, AWE was a great time for him, and he believed it worked out for him as far as getting him recognition and national exposure. The only disappointment was that AWE, which has been on hiatus since January 2006, failed financially.
AWE promoter Mike Davidson was also positive about Knight.
"Immediately we matched him with Wavell Starr, and there was instant chemistry as the two had a solid TV match on Larger Than Life Volume 1," he said in an e-mail. "His contributions were immeasurable both in the ring and out."
Madison said Knight has the talent to make it to a major promotion but cautioned getting there is sometimes more a matter of knowing someone and having the "right" look than ability.
"You can be the best wrestler in the world but it doesn't mean you will get there," he said, adding it's easier to get into the NHL than it is to land a spot in WWE.
"But they certainly know who he is."
That's because in the summer of 2004, Knight, after continual prodding of the now former WWE talent relations scout Tom Pritchard, tried out for the WWE prior to a Smackdown! taping at the Winnipeg Arena.
He called the experience tremendous but also intimidating, especially when he looked up to see the TitanTron, the WWE ring and the seats around it, the very same ones where he watched matches years before.
"I felt like a fan again."
He said the try out went well, and he was happy to get some tips from William Regal during a one-on-one with the WWE superstar. Regal convinced him to use more of his repertoire, which Knight says he since has.
Although Knight remains hopeful of one day getting a shot in New York, he realizes a sculpted physique isn't going to get him there. Knight said while "look" does have its place, successful builds can vary.
"The fans don't want to watch guys they think they can kick the crap out of," he said, but added: "You don't have to be built like Dave Batista to do that."
Madison said the ECW of old, if it still existed, would be a perfect fit for Knight because of the promotion's focus on work rate.
"Fans are not stupid -- they can appreciate a good worker and Knight's a guy, he might not look like a bodybuilder, but he looks like a wrestler and he's a hell of a worker," Madison said.
"This is a guy in the old days that would have had the right kind of character to work the territories... he'd be a star in the old days," Goldstein added.
But Knight pointed out that the current "it" guy, TNA's Samoa Joe, is getting great crowd reactions, despite not having a pumped up look, because of his hard-hitting style, intensity, and work ethic.
"He doesn't fit the mold but he looks like a guy who can kill you," he said, noting out that it's a wrestler like Joe that he'd most like to resemble.
TNA might in fact be a possible destination for Knight.
Last Canada Day, he and Chi Chi Cruz had a match that Cruz had taped so he could send it to TNA. Cruz wanted to face a strong opponent and made sure Knight was the man, Goldstein said.
"(Knight) did everything he had to do to make Cheech look like a million bucks, but he also made himself look like a million."
Now, close to 2,000 matches later, The Outlaw seems to feel good about where his abilities are, and is currently doing weekly shows for Premier Championship Wrestling (PCW) every Thursday at Winnipeg's The Lid Nightclub.
Although he's getting married in September and has expressed some desire to eventually settle down and have kids, Knight isn't poised to ride off into the sunset just yet.
"It's still too much fun and it'd be tough to give it all up."
Richard Kamchen is a Winnipeg writer with a past penchant for erratic behavior but is glad to finally settle down and write about something that matters. He can be emailed at email@example.com.

Carlos Danilo Menjivar-Rojas Sentenced In U.S. District Court
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Billings, on June 26, 2013, before U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy, CARLOS DANILO MENJIVAR-ROJAS, a 37-year-old resident of Riverton, Wyoming, was sentenced to a term of:
Prison: 168 months
Special Assessment: $100
Supervised Release: 5 years
MENIJIVAR-ROJAS was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute methamphetamine.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica T. Fehr, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
In the spring of 2011, Eastern Montana HIDTA agents began performing electronic surveillance on MENIJIVAR-ROJAS (a/k/a "Chico"), an El Salvador National living in Billings. MENIJIVAR-ROJAS previously resided in northern California.
In June of 2011, MENIJIVAR-ROJAS was arrested for immigration violations. In early August of 2011, MENIJIVAR-ROJAS posted a bond to be released from ICE custody and returned to Billings.
In May of 2011, law enforcement learned the identity of several individuals that were distributing methamphetamine for MENIJIVAR-ROJAS. One individual interviewed by law enforcement admitted to selling methamphetamine for MENIJIVAR-ROJAS for three or four months. This individual saw MENIJIVAR-ROJAS with 8 or 9 pounds of methamphetamine in coffee cans in the back of his black Cadillac. MENIJIVAR-ROJAS charged the individual $1,200 for an ounce of methamphetamine. Additional witnesses linked MENIJIVAR-ROJAS to the distribution of numerous pounds of methamphetamine. Law enforcement corroborated the information about the individuals distributing for MENIJIVAR-ROJAS through searches of cellular telephones, recorded jail calls, and controlled purchases of methamphetamine.
When MENIJIVAR-ROJAS was arrested for immigration violations, his wife Dawn Menjivar and Armando Hernandez-Vaca continued to distribute methamphetamine to his sources and to collect drug debts on his behalf. Between the time of his arrest and the time of his release, MENIJIVAR-ROJAS was in daily contact with Dawn Menjivar. MENIJIVAR-ROJAS was giving Dawn Menjivar directions on who to collect money from, as well as who to "deal with."
Law enforcement learned through the investigation that MENIJIVAR-ROJAS distributed methamphetamine in Billings from May 2010 until late January of 2012. The conspiracy involved over 500 grams of methamphetamine.
Dawn Menijivar and Hernandez-Vaca pled guilty to federal charges.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that MENIJIVAR-ROJAS will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, MENIJIVAR-ROJAS does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was conducted by the Billings Big Sky Safe Streets Task Force.

If you are reading this, you recently came across an error message saying 403 Forbidden – you don't have permission to access '/' on this server'. And most likely, you have no idea what it is all about? Well, don't worry, this is a quite common scenario. Almost all webmasters have come in contact with.
In short, follow these steps in order to fix 403 forbidden error:
- Check and reset your .htaccess file
- Reset files and folders permissions
- Disable WordPress plugins
It is worth mentioning that 403 errors might differ based on various circumstances. Occasionally, this error can also be a result of a few changes that your hosting company might have made in their system or due to the implementation of some updates.
Whatever it is, let's look deeper into the error and find out more details about it. We will then list out various reasons responsible for this error, and the possible solutions for it.
What is 403 Forbidden Error?
Before we dig deeper and try to fix the 403 Forbidden Error, let's first understand what it actually is. 403 forbidden error is an HTTP status code. When you encounter this error message, you are basically trying to reach an address or a website that is forbidden to access.
Here are examples of some these errors that are commonly thrown:
Forbidden: You don't have permission to access [directory] on this server
HTTP Error 403 – Forbidden
403 forbidden request forbidden by administrative rules
403 Forbidden
Access Denied You don't have permission to access
So what causes these errors? Let's find out.
Causes of 403 Forbidden Error
Getting a 403 Error message in the middle of development might seem disturbing. But before we can fix it, we need to know about the actual reason causing it. The simple reason why we are seeing this error is that you are trying to access something you don't have the permission to. Throwing a 403 forbidden error is your website's way of stating that you don't have enough permissions to proceed further.
This error is basically due to:
- Incorrect file or folder permissions
- Incorrect settings in .htaccess file
That said, let's have a quick look at how you can fix Error 403 forbidden message.
Fixing the Error 403 Forbidden message
Now that we know the various factors causing the error, it is time to look how to get rid of this error. The steps mentioned here mainly focus on the tips for fixing this error message on WordPress, but they can be applied to other websites as well. Let's go through some of the steps involved:
Step 1 – Checking .htaccess File
You may not be familiar with the .htaccess file. This is because the file often remains hidden in the project directory. However, if you are using Hostinger File Manager, you should be able to see .htaccess by default.
In other cases, for example, if you are using cPanel, it can be done by accessing your hosting Control Panel with the help of File Manager. Let's go through the steps involved:
- Locate File Manager from the hosting Control Panel
- In the public_html directory, look for .htaccess file.
- If you do not come across any .htaccess file, you can click on Settings and enabled Show Hidden Files (dotfiles) option.
To help you understand the .htaccess file better – it's a server configuration file and mainly works by altering the configuration on the Apache Web Server settings.
Although the .htaccese file is present in almost all WordPress websites, in some rare events, when your website doesn't have a .htaccess file or is deleted unintentionally, you need to create a .htaccess file manually.
Now, that you have found your .htaccess file, all you need to do is:
- Download the .htcacess to your computer to have a backup of it.
- Once done, delete the file.
- Now, try accessing your website.
- If it works fine, this simply indicates that your .htaccess file was corrupt
- Now, to generate a fresh .htaccess file, login to your WordPress dashboard, and click on Settings > Permalinks.
- Without making any changes press Save button at the bottom of the page.
- This will generate a fresh .htaccess file for your website
However, if this doesn't solve the issue, move onto the next step.
Step 2 – Dealing with permissions
Another reason for encountering a 403 Error Forbidden message is bad permissions for your files or folders. In general, when files are created, they come with certain default permissions. These basically control how you can read, write and execute the files for your use. However, at times, these permissions might prove to be challenging and you need change permissions as per the requirement. Changing the permission is easy. This can be achieved with the help of FTP client or File Manager. FileZilla FTP client provides more options for changing file and folder permissions. Thus it's recommended to use this FTP client for the following steps:
- Access your website files using FTP client.
- Navigate to the root directory of your hosting account.
- Select the main folder which contains all your website files (usually it's public_html), right-click on it and select File Permissions.
- Check Apply to directories only, enter permission 755 in the numeric value field and press OK.
- Once FileZilla is done changing folder permissions repeat the step 3, but this time choose to apply to files the only option and enter 644 in the numeric value field.
- Once done, try accessing your website now, and see if the error is solved.
If you want to better understand how file and folder permissions work in Linux environment, or you want to use command line to change permissions, see this tutorial.
However, if nothing seems to happen, it is the time to move onto the next step.
Step 3 – Disabling WordPress plugins
If you have come this far, chances are high that the error was thrown due to an incompatible or faulty plugin. In this step, we will try disabling plugins to see if it fixes the 403 Forbidden Error. The best thing to do would be to disable all the plugins at once instead of going through the process individually. With this step, you would be able to detect the problem and work towards a solution. Here is what you have to do:
- Access your hosting account with FTP and look for the public_html folder (or folder containing your WordPress installation files).
- Locate the wp-content folder on the page.
- Locate the Plugins folder, and rename it to something different like 'disabled-plugins' so that it is easier to keep track of.
This would disable the plugin. You can have a deeper insight on the exact procedure to follow by checking our tutorial – how to disable WordPress plugins.
Once you have disabled all the plugins, try accessing your website again. Did this fix the problem? If yes, a problematic plugin is the actual source of error. Try deactivate plugins one by one, and check if your website is back to action now. This way you will be able to detect the faulty plugin.
You can then choose to update the plugin if it is necessary or install a new one. However, if nothing of the above-mentioned steps worked for you (which is rare!), you may need to contact your hosting provider.

SASPUG Update : "A Change of Speaker for February 25th Meeting"
San Antonio SharePoint User Group
Tuesday, February 25, 2014 from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM (CST)
Event Details
Title: Movin' On Up – A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study
Our SharePoint environment is a lot like many others – a SharePoint 2007 implementation that was used more as a file dump than a collaboration space. With minimal user adoption, we were never quite ready to implement 2010, with a pilot SharePoint 2010 implementation stalled out of the gate.
In the meantime, some content was put on Box and other services to address external collaboration needs. Business users needed more relevant search results, content databases had grown uncomfortably large, and access controls had become spaghetti. Fortunately, site sprawl wasn't too bad… except that the reason for that was the low adoption.
SharePoint 2013 arrived to a perfect storm – business and technology needs to be addressed, content that needs to be brought back in-house, and user adoption that needs to be improved. Time to upgrade!
See how we approached the upgrade, the issues than needed to be addressed, and the questions that needed to be answered.

1946—Poet Countee Cullen dies at age 42 in New York City. Cullen was one of Black America's greatest poets and novelists. One of his most controversial works was "The Black Christ & Other Poems." He was born in 1903. But some mystery surrounds exactly where he was born with both Baltimore and New York City being given as his place of birth. Cullen also taught high school. One of his best known students was the great writer James Baldwin.
1967—The Georgia legislature finally seats Representative Julian Bond. In an amazing anti-democracy display of arrogance, Georgia legislators had refused to allow Bond to take the seat he had duly won because of his opposition to the U.S. war in Vietnam. But a 1966 U.S. Supreme Court ruling declared their action unconstitutional. Bond later became chairman of the NAACP Board of Directors.
January 10
1924—Legendary Jazz drummer and composer Max Roach is born in New York City. He was perhaps the greatest drummer-composer of the Jazz era performing with some of America's best known Jazz musicians and singers. He formed Debut Records in 1952 with bassist Charles Mingus.
1957—The Southern Christian Leadership Conference is founded in New Orleans, La., by a group of Black ministers led by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. The SCLC goes on to become one of the premier leadership organizations of the Civil Rights Movement. Among the original founders were Ralph Abernathy, Joseph Lowery, Fred Shuttlesworth and C.K. Steel. Washington, D.C., minister Walter Fauntroy was chairman of the board of directors and one of the leading women of the Civil Rights Movement, Ella Baker, became executive director. In 2009, King's daughter Bernice was elected to head the organization.

Germany, c. 1915-1925
This sweet little bisque doll has the best clothing. She is a later doll with black hair and nicely painted features with rosy cheeks. She has a cloth body with bisque lower limbs. She has molded boots, but they are not painted. Her great feature is her organdie dress and matching bonnet. The dress may have been white, or maybe it was always cream colored. For such a small dress, the clothing has amazing details. The dress is trimmed with black lace and soutache ribbon. She has a great matching bonnet and has a matching bouquet tied to her wrist. Underneath is just as great...with a very detailed petticoat and matching pantalettes both with pin tucks and lace trim. The little dress closes with a snap. The back of the head is incised Germany with the number 51 painted in red. Nice little original doll with just a slight amount of age soiling.

a spring clean – lemony fresh
by sophielola
ah the introductory post. how can i talk about myself without sounding like everyone else on the internet? I just don't think I can. I like giraffes.
My natural hair is average brown. I wear too many bright clothes. My dad thinks my shoe collection is too large, but I couldn't disagree more.
I always make awful first impressions, and tell people so. And then they judge me. So go ahead you judgemental bastards, at least I'm not the one with a problem. I'll insult every one of you buggers before the day is over
nicknames currently in use: N/A. i am unnamed
So, finally. here it is, April. The month associated most strongly with bluebells and mown grass. Oh. Hang on Britain. This year is a bit different – and it's also the one during which I turn twenty-one.
Following a very big re-design of my blog, I feel it appropriate to introduce myself again…and again…and probably a few more times because I love love love talking about myself. It's actually the better of topics.
I'm a twenty year old student at a university 'tup north. My first year of being a fresher was lived in luxury I had a beautifully spacious room, and I miss the ensuite to the point I've considered going back. I will admit now though, I am repeating my first year. Not because I was a complete slacker and failed my exams, quite the contrary. I passed what could arguably be listed at the most difficult degree to change onto … media studies. Mum and dad aren't you proud ;)?
I am now be living with my five flatmates from last year, and I can genuinely say we are one of the most diverse groups out there.
Take your stereotypical northerner, southerner, high achiever, wannabe un-nerd, eclectic musician and crazy asian – and add alcohol into that mix. Isn't that the type of party you'd love to be attending? [from someone who has attended said parties, I will have to decline your invitation].
Back to me. I used to dye my hair an outrageous shade of blonde. My favourite food group would be smarties and I can drink tea like its going out of fashion (but I shall not be, because that would be naughty).
I'm useless at life, because I have the well documented medical problem retardeditus.
Stay tuned.

Eligible for Overdraft Privilege
If you have a checking account with Rockhold Bank you may be eligible for the Bank's Overdraft Privilege service1. Having Overdraft Privilege means that should you inadvertently overdraw your account the Bank has the discretion to cover your overdrafts up to a limit established by Rockhold Bank after first subtracting the amount of the overdraft fee(s) as outlined in the Discretionary Overdraft Privilege Policy2. When your items are paid, this service will help save you the embarrassment and inconvenience of a returned item as well as the fee normally charged to you by merchants for items returned to them. The amount of Discretionary Overdraft Privilege will not be shown in your available balance, but is available for checks, ACH, Over-the-Counter transactions, debit card and ATM transactions.
Eligible for Overdraft Transfer Protection
If you have a savings and a checking with the bank, you may "tie" the two accounts to protect yourself against overdrafts. Click here for an example of how this works.
Overdraft Transfer Protection PDF
By operation of federal law, beginning January 1, 2013, funds deposited in a noninterest-bearing transaction account (including an Interest on Lawyer Trust Account) no longer will receive unlimited deposit insurance coverage by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Beginning January 1, 2013, all of a depositor's accounts at an insured depository institution, including all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts, will be insured by the FDIC up to the standard maximum deposit insurance amount ($250,000), for each deposit insurance ownership category.
For more information about FDIC insurance coverage of noninterest-bearing transaction accounts, visit: https://www.fdic.gov/consumers/consumer/news/cnwin1213/coverageupdate.html

1 The following are the criteria a checking account must meet to become eligible for Overdraft Privilege:
- Customer may not be delinquent on any loans with Rockhold Bank or have charged off deposit accounts
- Account must be open for at least 30 days
- Customer are not eligible if they've had a bankruptcy in the last 7 years, or if they have outstanding levies or garnishments
- Account must have a positive balance before it will be eligible
- None of the account owners may be a minor (under 18)
- No individuals excluded by Reg. O policy are eligible
Overdraft Privilege is not a line of credit. Should an overdraft occur, your account will be charged the standard Overdraft fee for handling each item that is paid by the discretionary overdraft privilege. This may be a different fee than Rockhold Bank charges for items drawn against insufficient funds (NSF) and returned to the payee. If multiple items are presented against your account on the same day, each item will be assessed either the Overdraft or NSF fee depending upon whether the item is paid or returned. Please take a moment to review the Discretionary Overdraft Privilege Disclosure that follows this notice.
Please be aware that this notice does not constitute either a written agreement of an obligation or a prearranged agreement for The Rockhold Brown & Co. Bank to pay your overdrafts and we may withdraw this privilege at any time. Payment of any overdrafts will continue to be at the discretion of The Rockhold Brown & Co. Bank and payment of an overdraft does not obligate us or create an agreement or course of dealing on our part to allow overdrafts on any occasion.
If you have any questions regarding this or wish to opt out of this service, please contact Sarah Blazer at 937-402-2040 or Toll Free at 866-519-3141.
2 Rockhold Bank Discretionary Overdraft Privilege Policy
It is the policy of Rockhold Bank to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and to conduct business in accordance with applicable safety and soundness standards.
The Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosure provided to you at the time you opened your account with us controls the duties, obligations and rights of the Depositor, the Authorized Signatories and Rockhold Bank with regard to your checking account. The Deposit Account Agreement (and all amendments thereto) and its terms shall control any possible conflict, if any, between any provision of this Discretionary Overdraft Privilege Policy and the Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosure. A copy of the Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosure is available to you on request.
Overdraft privilege is not a line of credit. However, if you inadvertently overdraw your account, we will have the discretion to pay the overdraft, subject to the limit of your overdraft privilege and the amount of the overdraft fee. Rockhold Bank is not obligated to pay any item presented for payment if your account does not contain sufficient available funds. Any discretionary payment by Rockhold Bank of an overdraft check (or items, such as ATM withdrawals) does not obligate Rockhold Bank to pay any other overdraft check (or item), or to provide prior notice of its decision to refuse to pay such check (or item).
Pursuant to Rockhold Bank's commitment to always provide you with the best level of service, now and in the future, if your consumer account (primarily used for personal and household purposes) or commercial account has been open for at least thirty (30) days, and thereafter you maintain your account in good standing, which includes at least:
A) Bringing your account balance to a positive balance within every thirty (30) day period for a minimum period of 24 hours;
B) Not being in default on any loan or other obligation to Rockhold Bank and
C) Not being subject to any legal or administrative order or levy
Rockhold Bank will have the discretion to pay overdrafts within the overdraft privilege limits, but payment by Rockhold Bank is a discretionary courtesy and not a right of the customer or an obligation of Rockhold Bank. This privilege for consumer checking accounts and for commercial checking accounts will generally be limited to a maximum of $500 overdraft (negative) balance. Of course, any and all fees and charges, including without limitation the non-sufficient funds fees (as set forth in our fee schedules and deposit account agreement and disclosure), will be included as part of this maximum amount.
The total of the discretionary overdraft privilege (negative) balance, including any and all fees and charges, including all non-sufficient funds/overdraft fees is due and payable upon demand, and Depositor and each Authorized Signatory will continue to be liable, jointly and severally, for all such amounts, as described in the Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosure with a maximum repayment period of 30 days.
Again, while Rockhold Bank will have the discretion to pay overdrafts on accounts in good standing (as described above), any such payment is a discretionary courtesy, and not a right of the customer or an obligation of Rockhold Bank and Rockhold Bank in its sole and absolute discretion, can cease paying overdrafts at any time without prior notice of reason or cause. June 2012.

Meir Dagan, who recently stepped down as Mossad chief and promptly and harshly criticized the government, is paying for his words and must return his diplomatic passport, Channel 2 television reported.
Normally, retired officials can retain their special passports until they expire, but Dagan's accusations that the Netanyahu government's policies on Iran are irresponsible may have gone too far.
Dagan publicly warned against attacking Iran, essentially taking the "military option" off the table. He said that an aerial attack on the Islamic Republic's nuclear facilities would be a "dumb idea, the stupidest thing I have ever heard."
The office of the Prime Minister replied to the Channel 2 report with a statement that "a diplomatic passport is given to officials in order to aid them in their jobs. According to the law, when those people are no longer assuming those positions, they are asked to return the diplomatic passport."
Dagan's comments at Tel Aviv and Hebrew University forums were surprising, considering his hawkish image.
He criticized the government for not taking a diplomatic initiative on behalf of the Palestinian Authority and even expressed support for adopting what have been called the "Auschwitz borders" that confined Israel between the temporary 1949 Armistice Agreement and the Six Day War in 1967.
