In December 2014, the Alliance Board met for an extended strategy session to set our mission and goals for 2015. Our mission for Montana's High Tech and Manufacturing companies is summed up in three verbs:
Connect. Promote. Accelerate.
Here are some of the ways the Montana High Tech Business Alliance is delivering on that mission so far this year.
Connect: 130 Attend Bozeman Reception
The Montana High Tech Business Alliance's third member reception in Bozeman on February 17th drew a crowd of 130 leaders from Montana's high tech and manufacturing community, setting a new attendance record for these popular events.
Hosted by Silver Affiliate Rocky Mountain Bank, guests enjoyed delicious appetizers, wine, beer and a flood of natural light under the vaulted ceilings of the Bozeman branch on West Main Street.
Bob Gieseke, Bozeman Market President, and Mallory Walters, Branch Operations Manager, and their stellar team from Rocky Mountain Bank served guests, handed out wine baskets as door prizes, and coordinated technology for 3-minute "Lightning Talks" by CEOs of four fast-growing Montana technology companies:
- Luke Mauritsen, Montana Instruments (Bozeman)
- Joel Henry, Agile Data Solutions (Missoula)
- Michael Monaghan, Beartooth Radio (Bozeman)
- Doug Warner, DropTrip (Bozeman)
Thomas Kurdy and Rachel Strasshofer captured the evening on film. View Reception Photo Album on Facebook.
Prior to the reception we launched a CEO Roundtable – a new networking opportunity for members at the Bronze level and above- facilitated by board chair Greg Gianforte. Members TechLink, MMEC, and the MSU College of Engineering graciously allowed us to use their conference room for the meeting of nearly 30 participants.
The day's events won enthusiastic praise from attendees:
"Congratulations on a very successful event. Great networking activities and overall positive energy for the alliance and high tech community. Well done!" – Bozeman member
"We loved the social in Bozeman. We're very excited about the energy we saw and how we can help a number of the member organizations" – Missoula member
"It was very interesting just soaking in the ideas at the Roundtable, followed by a great time of networking afterward. I am looking forward to following up with several alliance members." – Affiliate member
Promote: Report on Montana's Technology Boom Sparks 20+ Media Stories from California to Washington D.C.
On February 17, the MHTBA released the results of a member survey by UM BBER showing Montana's high tech and manufacturing sector are growing eight times the state economy and paying an average wage double the state median. The story was picked up by more than 20 media channels, including Associated Press coverage that reached Washington D.C., California, and Spokane.
- Bozeman Daily Chronicle
- Flathead Beacon (Kalispell/Northwest MT)
- Helena Independent Record
- Hungry Horse News (Columbia Falls, Glacier National Park, Flathead Valley)
- KBZK, KTVQ (CBS, Bozeman/Billings)
- KECI (NBC, Statewide via Missoula)
- KFBB, KTMF (ABC/FOX, Great Falls/Bozeman)
- KVGO/Zoo 107.5 FM (Missoula)
- KXLO/KLCM radio (Lewistown/Central MT)
- KXLY (Spokane/North Idaho)
- Missoulian
- Montana Public Radio (Statewide)
- Montana Standard (Butte/Southwest MT)
- Northern Broadcasting/Voices of Montana (Statewide, via Billings)
- The Daily Inter Lake (Kalispell/Northwest MT)
- The San Luis Obispo Tribune (CA/Central Coast)
- The Washington Times (Washington D.C.)
Several member companies were featured in news stories, including Montana Instruments, Helix Business Solutions, Hoplite Industries, Treasure State Internet, Anvil Studios, DropTrip, Agile Data Solutions, Beartooth Radio, and MSU Blackstone LaunchPad. See the media page on the Alliance website for links to all the news stories.
The report and related media coverage prompted positive feedback from both members and partner organizations across the state:
"I want to say thank you. The exposure we have received as a result of the survey has been awesome." – Tech Startup
"We will make good use of the report that you shared! That has great information! I love what you all are doing." – Higher education leader
Accelerate: Jobs Portal Reaches 15,000+ Views
The number one barrier to growth cited by our member companies is their inability to hire enough workers with the right technical skills and experience. And yet every day there are countless talented job seekers looking for the right opportunity in Montana.
Launched in August of 2014, the Alliance's high tech and manufacturing jobs portal was created to help match great talent with great Montana companies.
The Alliance has placed ads in the university alumni magazines, attended career fairs, and visited classrooms to expand awareness of the site and member companies who are hiring. As a result, the jobs portal is steadily gaining traction as a resource for our members and job seekers.
The jobs portal is by far the most popular page of our website, with 15,000+ page views in the last six months and nearly 3,000 views in February alone. The number of subscribers to weekly jobs portal email updates doubles every month.
There are typically more than 65 positions posted at any given time with 35 of our member companies. 33 candidates have submitted resumes through the site from across Montana and states like Utah, Arizona, and Texas. Multiple other job seekers have contacted companies directly as requested in job postings.
Here is some of the positive feedback we've heard:
"It was a pleasure to make your acquaintance at the event this week. And I would like to thank you again for having your website there as a valuable resource, it is very easy to use – thank you." – Alum/Job seeker from UM
"I was reviewing the site yesterday and found a job posting that could be the perfect fit for a contact of mine. I forwarded it on to her. There is power in collaboration across our business sector for all of Montana." – Tech company executive
The board and I are encouraged by the significant progress made so far in 2015 to Connect, Promote, and Accelerate the growth of Montana's high tech and manufacturing companies. But we're also gearing up to tackle the tough barriers to growth faced by our members – especially access to talent and capital.
Christina Henderson, Executive Director

Safeway Worker Stops Man From Beating Pregnant Woman, Gets Suspended
You would think Safeway would hold up Ryan Young as a model employee, even award him a medal of bravery and honor. But instead, the supermarket chain has suspended the meat clerk after he broke up a fight in which a male customer at a Northern California store was pummeling his pregnant girlfriend.
Safeway's decision, meanwhile, has turned Young into something of a folk hero. There are protests in front of the market in Del Ray Oaks, a petition on change.org with more than 175,000 signatures, and regular mentions on Twitter and Facebook, all calling for Young's reinstatement.
"I just became afraid for her safety and also other customers," he said. "The guy was out of control."
Del Ray Oaks police arrived, and Tran was arrested and has since plead no contest to a misdemeanor battery charge. (He was sentenced to three years probation.)
And while Young says that he was assured by a manager that his job was safe, he was notified the following day that he was being suspended without pay, effective April 22, according to the San Jose Mercury News. He was also not given an end date for the suspension.
The Safeway supermarket chain, North America's second largest, could not be reached for a comment by AOL Jobs. But in speaking to KTVU News, a spokeswoman for Safeway praised Young. "We agree that Mr. Young is to be commended for choosing to intervene," she said, adding Young wasn't suspended for coming to the women's aid. Safeway said it is investigating the incident because of acts it saw on video footage. It didn't specify what those acts were, although the Mercury News quoted a witness as saying that Young struck Tran. The union that represents Safeway workers said it is working to resolve Young's case.
Meanwhile, Young is not receiving a salary and is unable to provide for himself and his own pregnant wife.
The public and local police have rallied to Young's side. Ron Langford, the chief of the Del Ray Oaks police squad, even wrote an open letter in defense of Young, according to KION News.
"Mr. Young's actions were courageous. We commend him for his action that prevented further injury to the victim, protected others and led to the arrest of the suspect in this case," he said in the letter.
Young also has become thing of a folk hero. Safeway's corporate Facebook page was inundated with messages calling for Young's reinstatement. His case also struck a nerve with locals, who have begun picketing the Safeway market in Del Ray Oaks.
"Ryan is a hero," Jennie Tezak of Monterey, Calif., who attended the rally told the Monterey Herald, according to KTVU news. "Domestic violence is uncalled for, deplorable. What Ryan did was heroic. Is Safeway really safe? Not without Ryan Young."

Milpitas, CA – January 18, 2010 – LifeScan, Inc. has received a substantial sum from United States Medical Supply, Inc. and United States Diabetic Supply, Inc. (USMS/USDS) of Miami, Florida, as settlement of LifeScan's breach of contract-based diversion claims against USMS/USDS. Although USMS/USDS did not admit liability, LifeScan had alleged that these companies knowingly and intentionally breached the terms of certain agreements, which prohibited the sale of LifeScan products to anyone other than individual mail order patients, by diverting product it received from LifeScan to unauthorized resellers. The amount paid in settlement represents the return of discounts and rebates paid on the LifeScan products.
"This settlement demonstrates LifeScan's resolve to stop those who would divert our products in violation of our written agreements, wherever and whenever it occurs," said Roy Albiani, LifeScan's Global Director of Brand Integrity. "We will continue to be vigilant and take the necessary steps to protect patient safety, the integrity of our products, and the supply chain."

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and MassGeneral Hospital for Children in Massachusetts have identified a chemical in broccoli sprouts that may help improve the symptoms of autism.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects roughly 1 to 2 percent of the world's population, with much higher rates in boys than in girls. The cause of autism remains a mystery, but doctors are slowly but surely honing in on the genetic and cellular changes that occur in a person with autism. According to researchers, patients with ASD have cells with high levels of oxidative stress caused by the buildup of harmful, unintended byproducts from the cell's use of oxygen. This oxidative stress can cause inflammation, damage DNA, and lead to cancer and other chronic diseases. For this study, researchers wanted to look at the ability of sulforaphane, a plant chemical derived from broccoli sprouts, to reduce oxidative stress. Sulforaphane is best known for as a potential treatment of certain types of cancer.
For the study, which was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers evaluated 40 boys and young men aged 13 to 27 who were diagnosed with moderate to severe autism. The boys were treated for 18 weeks with a daily dose of either a placebo or sulforaphane. Their social and behavioral issues were evaluated at the beginning of the study, and at four, ten, and 18 weeks during the study.
Researchers found that compared to the participants who were given the placebo, those who received a daily dose of the chemical sulforaphane experienced substantial improvements in their social interaction and verbal communication, along with decreases in repetitive, ritualistic behaviors. The changes were first noticeable at the four-week evaluation and continued for the duration of the study. Participants using sulforaphane saw improvements in irritability, lethargy, repetitive movements, hyperactivity, awareness, communication, motivation and mannerisms. Further, these changes reverted back to their original levels once the participants stopped taking the sulforaphane.
So could a daily dose of broccoli sprouts be the key to keeping autism symptoms in check? Researchers caution that it would be difficult to consume the levels of sulforaphane given to study participants by eating broccoli sprouts or other cruciferous vegetables. But this study and others like it will hopefully give health providers better tools to treat and maybe even cure this enigmatic condition.

Hundreds of shooting stars possible this weekend
If you're not a night owl, you'll want to set your alarm clock for early Saturday. Before dawn that morning, earth will plow through the trail of a newfound comet, providing what many astronomers are predicting to be the best meteor storm in years.
Comet 209P/LINEAR orbits the sun over a five-year period, yet it was only discovered in 2004 by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research project. It belongs to a family called the Jupiter Comets, which are steered and propelled by the gas giant's own gravitational pull. Every so often, these comets come a little too close to Jupiter, and like a leaf buffeted by the wind, their course is set anew.
That's what happened in 2012 to Comet 209P/LINEAR. Not only did it alter the comet's path, but it also warped the centuries-old trails of debris left with every five-year passing. Now the comet's path comes within 280,000 miles of our own orbit — little more than the moon's distance from earth.
Not that the comet will actually pass that close to earth. At its innermost point of orbit, 209P/LINEAR is 90 million miles from the sun — roughly the same distance from the sun as earth, give or take a few million miles. May 29 the comet will be just 5.15 million miles from earth, the ninth closest approach by a comet ever recorded.
Even at its closest, it's doubtful you'll be able to spot this small, dim chunk of ice and rock without a decent-sized telescope.
In this case the sizzle is far better than the steak, thanks to the countless bits of dust trailing in the comet's wake after hundreds of years circling the sun. Between sunset Friday and dawn Saturday, earth plows full-steam through these bands of accumulated inter-stellar flotsam.
Astronomers are predicting a brief but intense period of activity, peaking around 3am with anywhere from dozens to hundreds of meteors an hour. Some models even predict a meteor storm with as many as 400 meteors an hour! And unlike most prolific meteor showers, which streak past in a matter of seconds, those from P/209 LINEAR will drift through the sky like falling snowflakes.
Cloudy skies? Check out the meteor shower via a live feed starting at 1:30am Saturday at http://tinyurl.com/olywq6k.
The waning crescent moon won't interfere with the meteors, but it will make a nice appearance with Venus low in the east before dawn Sunday morning.

Annual Enrollment Period (AEP), is the one time of year when you can make changes to an existing Medicare Advantage or Prescription Drug plan. Basically, you have a few choices. You can join a new Medicare Advantage (MA) Plan or Prescription Drug Plan (PDP), switch between MA plans, or leave a Medicare Advantage Plan to return to Original Medicare. With many options, the Annual Enrollment Period can be confusing. Here are five frequently asked questions, with answers to help you easily navigate this important time of year.
1: When is Annual Enrollment?
A: Annual Enrollment begins on October 15th and ends on December 7th.
These dates are important to remember. If you make changes at any time during Annual Enrollment, they will take effect January 1st. Remember, in most cases, Annual Enrollment is the only time you can move to a new Medicare Advantage or Part D plan. Be sure to do research ahead of time and be ready to switch if that's what you decide to do.
2: I've read my Annual Notice of Change (ANOC), and my costs are going up. What can I do?
A: Annual Enrollment is your time to make changes to your Medicare plan.
As a member of a Medicare plan, you should receive an Annual Notice of Change in the mail by the last day of September. This important document includes any changes in costs and benefits that will impact your current plan in the upcoming year. If, after reviewing your ANOC, you no longer want to continue with the plan you have, now is the time to change. During Annual Enrollment, you may make the following changes:
- Change from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage Plan.
- Change from a Medicare Advantage Plan back to Original Medicare.
- Switch from one Medicare Advantage Plan to another Medicare Advantage Plan.
- Join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan.
- Switch from one Prescription Drug Plan to another Prescription Drug Plan.
- Drop Medicare Prescription Drug coverage completely.
Don't forget, Original Medicare does not include prescription drug coverage. If you leave a current Medicare Advantage Plan with prescription coverage and return to Original Medicare, you will need to join a standalone Part D plan. If you do not enroll in standalone Part D plan, a Part D penalty may apply.
3: Annual Enrollment ended, but I do not like the new Medicare Advantage Plan I joined. What can I do?
A: After Annual Enrollment ends, there is a Medicare Advantage Disenrollment Period, January 1-February 14th.
The Medicare Advantage Disenrollment Period (MADP) was created for people who are dissatisfied with their MA plan after Annual Enrollment ends. This is another time in addition to Annual Enrollment when you can disenroll. Note: you cannot enroll in a new MA plan during this time, or switch between plans. It is for disenrollment only. You may leave your Medicare Advantage Plan and return to Original Medicare during this time. Note: if you leave an MA plan with prescription drug benefits, you have until Feb 14th to add drug coverage to Original Medicare.
4: Is Annual Enrollment the same as Open Enrollment for the Health Insurance Marketplace?
A: No. Open Enrollment for the Health Insurance Marketplace is not Open Enrollment for Medicare.
The federal health exchanges were created to provide insurance options for under insured or uninsured Americans in need of health insurance coverage. As a member of Medicare, Annual Enrollment (Oct 15-Dec 7) is for you to change your Medicare plan only.
5: If I want to make changes to my Medicare plan, what do I need to do?
A: Joining, switching or dropping a Medicare Advantage Plan or Prescription Drug Plan during Annual Enrollment is easy.
- To Join a Medicare Advantage Plan, simply enroll in the plan and your old coverage will be discontinued automatically.
- To switch between MA plans, simply join the new plan and you will be dis-enrolled from the old plan automatically when your new coverage starts.
- To switch from an MA plan back to Original Medicare, contact your current plan.
- To join a Prescription Drug Plan, enroll in the plan you choose and coverage will begin January 1st.

This term I decided to take the plunge into the redefinition end of the SAMR pool and, rather than just getting my students to create something for their classmates to learn from, we made our own iTunes U course which we've released to the world.
I wanted to do something a bit different with our Pompeian domestic art and architecture topic, and get the students to take greater ownership of their learning. So I introduced them to the basic concepts behind Roman housing, mosaics and frescoes, before going through an example of each. I then set them loose and gave them a list of suggested examples. Each student picked one, researched its key features and used their new knowledge to create an educational resource. While the resources are aimed at other Year 12, NCEA Level Two students, I'm hoping we can gather a few learners from around the globe!
The prospect of sharing their resource with the entire globe would, I hope, encourage the students to produce their best possible work. Some of the resources were of a really high standard, although there was not as much proofreading and fine tuning as I would have liked! I've offered them some extrinsic motivation in the form of a pizza bet (something I would take very seriously). Last year at a course run by Apple, I created my own public iTunes U course on Roman Religion, aimed at NCEA Scholarship students. I managed to get 3,430-odd students and a feature on the homepage of iTunes U in the United States! We've agreed that, should my students beat this, the Classics Department will buy them pizza next term. So far they're on seven but I suspect with their social media reach, they should be able to promote it further.
I quite enjoyed this task and would be keen to repeat it in future. The students really got into the creative side of things – most used iBooks Author to create their own multi-touch book, but there were a few using Book Creator on their iPads and one made a movie using iMovie – and we had a fun sharing session at the end of the project. However the mark scheme we created didn't assess them on the presentation/professionalism of their resource, which was one thing I wanted emphasised. This may have been a factor behind the sloppy spelling of some! Hopefully seeing the followers we can get will help motivate students with this sort of activity in future – I know I didn't expect the numbers I acquired…

It's Coming - IHSW!
IHSW is coming up next weekend! The perfect excuse (if you need one) to hermit away for 2 days and stitch until your needles smoke. If you want to join in the fun, check out Joyce's blog.
I'm hoping to be finished the smallish project I'm working on now by Thursday and have something new started for the weekend. Or I may pick up my long neglected UFO and get some stitches into that. Decisions, decisions. LOL

Prepare for the future of your SAN
Planning considerations.
Prepare for the future of your SAN
John Vacca
Whether you have a SAN installed, or you are thinking about putting one in, there's one thing that most experts have to agree upon: Make sure that your options for the future are open. This tip, excerpted from InformIT, addresses that very issue.
Not surprisingly, users have implemented SANs in different ways, but most are preparing for future growth. For example, The Motley Fool and Home Depot use Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FCAL) and will need to migrate to a switched fabric architecture before they can add any more servers, clients, or applications to their SANs.
Users agree, though, that relying on a systems vendor or integrator for your first SAN implementation is the wise route. You should also expect your vendor to guarantee interoperability between Fibre Channel and Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) devices.
It is reasonable to choose a vendor to implement a limited package. It is also unlikely that a vendor would be able to completely understand business applications and where a midsize to large business is going.
The plan for a data infrastructure closely parallels the network and systems infrastructure. Blending the three into a single cohesive network is necessary to the planning. That way, storage becomes another infrastructure resource that users can manage. This strategy also helps ensure network, applications, and other groups in the enterprise network environment interoperate.
Successful SAN implementation also depends in large part on getting the approval of management. For example, most SAN deployments are just the start of a much larger SAN implementation that management has approved and provided the funds for.
Ensuring that you get a properly funded program and a disciplined investment plan rather than budgeting in fits and starts is important. You don't want the first application to have to bear all the cost. You need to think about planning for this, investing in it, and then allocating the cost back to the business across multiple applications.

Every time I see someone driving down the road with a pet in their lap, I cringe. Obviously these people have no idea of the catastrophic results of an airbag deployment.
The dog they so obviously think the world of, would be instantly crushed, likely resulting in terrible damage to the person holding it.
Despite years of public education efforts by governments, manufacturers, traffic safety experts and zealots such as myself, many people remain blissfully unaware of the likelihood of an air bag deployment and the forces involved – even in a minor crash, at relatively low speed in the city.
These people are unaware of the forces at play. They probably think "It is OK I was just driving down the road, across town, going slow etc." Little do they realize the most common incidents that result in airbag deployment happen "down the road, in town, at slow speeds etc.
This is a good time for a little physics lesson. When you strike something and your vehicle comes to a sudden stop, anything in it continues at speed until striking something solid. That includes you, Fido, that bag of groceries on the back seat, anything on the rear parcel shelf or in the trunk.
When that apple hit our old friend Mr. Newton on the head, he determined that Force (F) is equal to Mass (M) times Acceleration (A). Unlike most laws, the laws of physics cannot be ignored or modified by a regulatory body. In a very moderate crash from say 50 km/hr, a mass in the vehicle will be subjected to approximately 20 to 25 times the force of gravity i.e. 20 – 25 G's until they strike something – like the seat belts which are carefully designed to stretch and gradually reduce that force – or the dash or windshield – or the oncoming airbag.
Let's say Fido is a tiny little thing, a five kilo lapdog. In that slow speed collision, Fido would instantly weigh 20-25 times as much – about 200 – 250 lbs., or about 100 kilos! If Fido were larger or the speed of the incident greater, the forces grow exponentially.
Nobody could hold a 250-lb dog in that incident, even if there were no other influencing factor. But there is – airbags!
Frontal airbags are designed to deploy at vehicle speeds of roughly 15 km/hr and upward in a frontal impact. Side bags at lower speeds because there is less room to deploy before the occupant is thrown into them. Airbags deploy at speeds varying from 100 – 300 km/hr depending on the speed and resulting forces of the crash and the size and position of the occupant. Sensors in the seat know how much you weigh and how far you are from the dash.
The bags have to reach full size and provide maximum protection within fractions of a second, unfolding with serious force and speed. Guess what happens to Fido, loosely positioned between the rapidly growing airbag and the person holding it who is moving forward very quickly, even if belted?
People and their pets are often inseparable, but not only in the figurative sense of the word. That precious pooch carried in your lap or arms could become a very intimate part of your anatomy!
If you truly care for your pet, do not carry it on your lap. Make sure it is properly restrained in a carrying crate or by a properly designed harness. That way it will be around to provide some much needed comfort after the crash.

Black lights are used to detect pet stains on the carpets. That is performed to accurately determine all the areas on the carpet and floors that must be treated. Home house owners often assume the carpet is damaged beyond restore, however are amazed by the outcomes we achieve.
In some cases, regular carpet cleansing or gentle deodorizing may be all that's needed. However, in more extreme cases, the pet urine soaks by means of the carpet, and into the pad(Yikes). It might even soak into the floor and tack strips.

WASHINGTON — Last spring, Marc H. Morial, the president of the National Urban League, found himself in a place he has come to know well over the years, across a desk from Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, talking about public policy.
Mr. Morial's question this time was pointed: What was going on with the confirmation vote for Loretta E. Lynch, President Obama's nominee for attorney general, which Mr. McConnell had been dragging out for months over an unrelated imbroglio with Democrats.
"He said, 'I believe she will be confirmed,' " Mr. Morial recalled. But what Mr. McConnell did not tell him — or anybody else for that matter — was that it would happen with his vote.
While Mr. McConnell's aye in favor of Ms. Lynch may have startled many of his Republican colleagues, it was consistent with his nuanced, sometimes surprising, sometimes contentious record on civil rights that has placed him apart from some Republican colleagues and from some voters in his home state, Kentucky.
In recent years, Mr. McConnell's longstanding commitment to civil rights legislation has come into conflict with his party's push for state-imposed limits on early voting, voter identification requirements and other measures that Democrats say are intended to disenfranchise minorities.
Eyes will now turn to Mr. McConnell, an early voice calling for the removal of the Confederate battle flag from the South Carolina capitol, after a major skirmish in the House this week over the use of the flag on federal land. "One thing I am not in favor of erasing is our history," he said, referring to the removal of statues, not the House debate on the flag. "The Civil War was a part of our history and there were actually good people on both sides of that war."
The tension can be seen in his own ambivalence about changes to civil rights laws proposed by some members of Congress, including measures that would bring back federal oversight of elections in some states.
But Mr. McConnell's interest in race issues was inspired by his upbringing in Kentucky by parents who opposed segregation. It was fermented on the campus of the University of Louisville, where he encouraged students to march with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It was reinforced by his internship in the office of Senator John Sherman Cooper, a Kentucky Republican who helped break the Southern-led filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
It also surfaced during his first term in the Senate, when Mr. McConnell's vote helped Congress override President Ronald Reagan's veto of a measure imposing sanctions on South Africa during apartheid, and has persisted through his years in the United States Capitol, most recently last month, when Mr. McConnell stood before reporters and said that a statue of Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy, should be removed from Kentucky's Capitol.
"This whole business of America moving past its original sin," Mr. McConnell said in an interview, "has been over a big period during which I have lived."
Mr. McConnell's strong feelings about racial equality began with his parents, whom he often refers to as "very enlightened Southerners" who were involved in the National Urban League.
"I was born in North Alabama, and when I was a little kid, I remember segregated movie theaters, segregated drinking fountains, segregated schools," he said. "We had a day off for Robert E. Lee's birthday, along with Lincoln's. The Civil War was omnipresent."
During college, he served as an intern in Washington and attended Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963 — "You could see a massive throng of humanity down to the memorial" — and wrote a college editorial excoriating opponents of civil rights. He worked as an intern for Mr. Cooper, opening mail, much of which was from constituents unhappy with the senator's support for the Civil Rights Act.
Mr. McConnell, 73, recalled, as he often does, asking Mr. Cooper how he could handle the overwhelming pressure. His boss told him, "There are times when you are supposed to lead, and other times to reflect the views of your state, and I think it is time to lead," he said. "That was pretty inspirational to a young guy just going to law school."

I'm generally not good with heroes that require managing minions, particularly Visage, Lone Druid and Chen. I can deal with simple stuff like Invoker's Forge Spirits, though.
I also can't do Beastmaster. He's not hard, but for some reason. I just can't do it. I've never had a good game as him, not once.
Tiny... for some odd reason I cannot use him.
this fuckin io is hard 2 play ...
since u need friends playin with u for train, io in pub sucks tho
For some reason Shadow Demon is my biggest loss %. I don't think I play too bad of a support as him, but just dont seem to win. The hero I have most trouble with is Meepo. Gotta go work on my micro!
Meepo, cos i dont have multiple heads q_q
Out of heroes I've been playing, I would say any of the following 3:
Shadow Shaman, Rubick, or Abaddon.
I don't feel like I play them badly, I just don't feel like I have much of an impact on the game ever.
I've had trouble with Meepo as well. Still have not figured out how to deal with controlling multiple units well on Dota 2. In the original, it was not a problem.
I would have to say TA, no matter how much I try, I'm just plain bad at her.
Usually any hero that relies on RNG, such as Phantom Assassin ,Slardar or Faceless Void, I never get procs and stuff in team fights, but o boy do i get procs on creeps while farming.
Injoker, definitely.

I spent a fair amount of time getting competent with Invoker, so now Meepo is my hands-down worst.
Techies by a long shot. That garbage hero needs to go away for a while.
Spectre, I am not good at farming to begin with.
Anti-mage. No way!
Apparently it's disruptor. I kinda like playing him but my winrate is terrible with him
Axe brings the lose!
My Axe is too soft to survive, other's Axe is too hard to kill

…I, along with many colleagues, have argued that instead of focusing primarily on making dirty energy expensive, we should focus to a greater degree on making clean energy cheap.
I recommend to you the January 24, 2014 responses to hearing questions of Roger Pielke, Jr. It is refreshing to see the concepts of The Hartwell Paper presented so crisply. I wonder how much the honorable congress-persons understood?

Rain on the way; Shoulder acting up after workout.
Saturday, May 26, 2012 by John Stone
Filed under Daily Blog
It looks like we've got some rain in the forecast over the holiday weekend! Good, we really need it, and the trails always run faster after a good soaking.
I'd love to go ride now, but I'm looking at about 5 hours of yard work today. Also, Lisa's parents are coming to stay with us over the long weekend, so I won't be able to ride again until Tuesday at the earliest. Hopefully a few days of rest along with the rain-packed trails will result in some new personal records next week. 🙂
Yesterday was a weight training day (upper body), and I went low volume and heavy. It was a good workout, but I'm feeling a little pain in my right shoulder this morning. I think it happened on my final set of barbell bench presses: I was pushing really hard to get one last rep up, and I stalled for what felt like 10 seconds as I struggled to complete the rep. The weight won that battle. My strength gave out and the barbell crashed down on the safety spotters. After my shower I could already tell my shoulder was a little off, and this morning that all-too-familiar nagging pain is present.
Thankfully my shoulder problems have been few and far between over the past 6 or 7 years, and have not really affected my training. I don't think this time is going to be any different, but I'm going to be careful not to do anything that might further aggravate it.
Well, I'd better get outside and get to work. It's going to be hot one…

THE importance of Christianity as an historical fact is well evinced by the all-comprehending movement which it called forth. By repulsion or attraction, it affected the life and thought of the greater portion of the ancient world. Every prominent religious system from Italy to India soon felt more or less the vibrations which its entrance into the world awakened.
In the previous chapters we have traced the move ment on the side of repulsion, the struggle of Christianity with an openly hostile Judaism and heathenism. We have now to consider the movement on the side of attraction, the false alliance which Judaism and heathenism sought to make with Christianity, the struggle of the Church with heresy. This struggle did not tax the Church in the same way as the former; still, the demands were formidable. To deal with the professed friends was, in important respects, more difficult than to withstand the open enemies. The former party, if not by their own choice and estimation, were in reality as much enemies as the latter. Their essential antagonism to Christianity had, also, much the same ground. A false conservatism was prominent in both cases. Extreme Judaism and extreme heathenism regarded Christianity as subversive of their old established order, and declared that it ought to be destroyed root and branch. A more liberal Judaism and heathenism confessed the virtue and right of Christianity, and felt attracted toward it; but, at the same time, many within their ranks were unwilling to renounce their previous theories. They carried these over to Christianity, warped in their behalf the interpretation of Christianity; in short, remained in part, and sometimes in large part, Jews and heathens, while they assumed the name of Christians.
The early heresies, then, may in general be characterized as false attempts to blend the old of other systems with the new of Christianity. This was conspicuously the case with two of the principal classes of heresies, and may be regarded, to some extent, the case with the third. These three classes of heresies were the following: (1) the Judaistic, (2) the Gnostic and Manichæan, (3) the Monarchian, or Anti-trinitarian. Of these the Jewish and the Gnostic were largely the antipodes of each other in spirit and aim. Jewish heresy, so far as it was an outgrowth of average Pharisaism, was radically contrasted with Gnosticism. But there were speculative schools within the bounds of Judaism which harbored Gnostic elements. This was to some extent the case with the Essenes, and was especially the case with the speculative Judaism of Alexandria of which Philo was the leading representative at the beginning of the first century. We have, therefore, some heresies in which Jewish and Gnostic ingredients are commingled.

By Richard Goering on December 11, 2013
Micro-electrical mechanical systems (MEMS) have been a niche technology for many years, but a new generation of MEMS ICs is emerging, according to Mike Jamiolkowski, CEO of Cadence partner and MEMS tool provider Coventor. Barriers to the use of MEMS technology, such as the need for PhD-level experts and non-reusable foundry processes, are starting to ease.
In this interview Jamiolkowski talks about new trends in the MEMS market, discusses his company's MEMS+ tools and how they work with the Cadence Virtuoso platform, and notes a new MEMS+ capability to output reduced order models in the Verilog-A language.
Q: Mike, when did Coventor get started and what does it offer today?
A: Coventor was started 17 years ago. I was previously a founder of ISS [Integrated Silicon Systems], which was an EDA company. I identified some technology at MIT that provided design tools for MEMS. I licensed the technology and received a fair amount of funding to evolve it, and we became a leading provider of MEMS tools.
The tool suite we have now is much more advanced than what came out of MIT. We have the MEMS+ toolset, which is a descendant of our Architect environment. We realized that customers who wanted to integrate MEMS and ICs really couldn't use Architect, so we adapted the platform to interface with Virtuoso and also with MATLAB and Simulink.
A second, complementary product offering is CoventorWare, which does detailed simulations of coupled electro-mechanical physics. A third offering is on the process side. Our product SEMulator3D is used by MEMS companies to design devices as well as the process, because the device and process are very closely linked in MEMS. We also evolved that capability to support customers who are developing advanced semiconductor technologies, such as FinFETs.
Q: A few years ago it seemed that MEMS were relegated to a handful of high-volume applications. Where are they showing up now?
A: The categories of MEMS devices have evolved dramatically. The use of gyroscopes, accelerometers, magnetometers, and microphones has dramatically increased the number of MEMS devices in volume, as well as revenue, over the past few years.
Apple and Samsung are using MEMS in smartphones and tablets. In 2012 Apple purchased over $700M worth of MEMS for mobile consumer devices, and Samsung jumped to $500M. Apple's M7 chip is a processor to manage sensor input. Companies now want to integrate MEMS more deeply and to make products cheaper. And we are starting to see much stronger interest from foundries.
One of the big opportunities we've identified is the growing importance of the Chinese market. They have a lot of second- and third-tier mobile device manufacturers and they're demanding a lot more volume. I think China will be a very high growth area for MEMS in mobile devices.
Q: Do MEMS still require specialized process development?
A: Processes are still MEMS-specific, but some are now reusable. Foundries, of course, are interested in CMOS processes, and they want to get away from processes that are MEMS-specific. With more customers and more integration, changes are occurring and platforms are starting to be built.
Q: What about the requirement for PhD-level experts for MEMS design?
A: MEMS still requires expertise, but not as much as three years ago. We have promoted the concept of "democratization" of MEMS using tools and libraries. As a result, reuse is benefiting companies so they don't have to have PhD-level expertise across the board.
Q: Let's talk about design tools for a moment. The traditional MEMS design approach uses finite element analysis, which is slow. The alternative has been the use of simplified, handcrafted models. What does MEMS+ offer that's different?
A: We use high-order, nonlinear finite elements, so our models are more accurate than reduced order models and they simulate almost as fast. This gives designers the ability to explore design spaces and optimize designs much more rapidly. And our models can run efficiently in simulation tools like Simulink and Cadence Spectre. They are not quite as accurate as conventional finite element analysis models, but you can learn a lot more.
Or course we also support conventional finite element analysis with CoventorWare, which does detailed coupled electro-mechanical physics. But with MEMS+ we offer another level of hierarchy so you can model a bigger area, like a full gyroscope.
Q: MEMS+ is a model creation and analysis environment. How does it work with Virtuoso?
A: We have created a very tight link. Virtuoso users can import fully parametric MEMS+ models through a MEMS+ menu item that we insert in the Cadence Library Manager. During import, we generate a schematic symbol and netlist. IC designers can then place the symbol in their schematic and run whatever simulations are appropriate for their design. The parameters of the MEMS+ model can be adjusted via the usual dialog that's available for any symbol in a Virtuoso schematic.
Q: You recently announced MEMS+ 4.0, which offers a new capability to export reduced order models in Verilog-A format. How will this be used?
A: Our MEMS+ models are fully nonlinear and they allow many thousands of degrees of freedom. They are very complex and accurate, but they can slow simulations. We've added capabilities to provide IC designers with a simplified model in Verilog-A format. These exported Verilog-A models can be used in Spectre or any other simulator that supports Verilog-A. It speeds up the simulations dramatically – there could be a 100X speed improvement.
MEMS engineers can still use MEMS+ models with all the degrees of freedom and nonlinearities to understand their device designs and perfect them. With the exported Verilog-A models, IC designers can do most of their simulations with the simplified models and only use the full MEMS+ models for extreme corner cases.

Space Coast Florida Attractions and Features for Fishing Families
Jan Stephen Maizler
Up until the present, my contact with Florida's Space Coast was basic. Yet in the overall planning I did for an upcoming story on Space Coast redfishing with Captain Brian Pahmeier (www.get1charters.com/), I learned a great deal more. The cities of Palm Bay, Melbourne, Cocoa Beach, and Titusville comprise the major cities of the Space Coast. While four cities may seem a modest constituency, you'll quickly learn - as did I - that this covers a huge amount of pristine lagoon, river, marsh, and "beach and bluff" habitat. If you're arriving from an urban area, you'll quickly realize that the local populace has succeeded in preserving not just the land, but the sky as well: there are blessedly few high-rise buildings. In Miami, these structures are a blight to sighting the Heavens - not so, on the Space Coast!
It would take many days to deeply experience all the wonderful features and attractions that would delight the traveling angler and their family. What really ramped up my familiarity (and subsequent love of this area) was my involvement in the Florida's Space Coast "Blast-Off" Media Tour. What follows is a gosh-honest chronicle of what I experienced there and my appraisals for outdoors readers who are devoted to exploration and adventure as well as fishing.
We arrived at the Crowne Plaza Melbourne Oceanfront (1-321-777-4100) at 2605 North A1A Highway in Melbourne. This was to be the place we would be lodged and our base of operations. I do not recall seeing a single boat in the ocean behind this hotel resort for three days! Surf conditions were likewise calm and pristine. Pelicans would gather every morning and evening to dive on the copious bait schools: in observing this, I was glad I'd brought some light tackle up from Miami. I fished to the bait schools during low light times with white Spro bucktails and DOA small TerrorEyz with good effect, catching jacks, mackerel, and even a small bonito. I found I had to wade out to waist deep water to get off a far-enough cast.
As to the rooms and amenities at the Crowne Plaza, I was thoroughly satisfied. The bedrooms were extremely sumptuous and well appointed with a full complement of snacks and electronic features, which included wireless Internet capabilities. The staff was friendly. Before leaving, we enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which featured the full array of fresh and chef-prepared foods as well as fresh raspberries, huckleberries, smoked salmon, and croissants as pleasant additions. The view from our room on the sixth floor featured an ocean expanse of an uncluttered sea and sky. Indeed, the conditions were so calm that the sky and ocean blended into a huge blue-green medium unfettered by a horizon line. Of note is that the hotel sits near the south end of the Space Coast, which would mean planning on drives of about an hour to get around the region.
Our first stop featured a drive along the Indian River up to Historic Cocoa Village for dinner at the Cara Mia Riverside Grill (1-321-639-3388). While the group bonded, Captain Rodney Smith joined us and talked about the specifics of the Space Coast sport fishery. The food was entirely pleasing and featured Italian dishes cooked with subtle skills. The main courses were supplemented with appetizers like fresh bruschetta and tasty mussels in tomato garlic broth. The wines were quite good as well. My impression of this friendly, well-situated establishment included visualizing Cara Mia as an ideal setting for recounting and celebrating a day of fishing the Cocoa Area.
Our drive from the restaurant to our next stop was but a few minutes. We arrived at a pier where Island Boat Lines (www.islandboatlines.com/) ( 1-321-302-0544) had a large old-style paddleboat awaiting us for a sunset cruise. Our group boarded the vessel and in no time at all, we eased off into the calm river waters under the setting sun. We declined some sumptuous dishes, but gladly grabbed some ice cold Heinekens and headed for the top deck to get the best view. It again became instantly apparent that Big Development had not been allowed or encouraged to sink its teeth into this delightful region. As we eased along and dusk blended into night, we saw jumping mullet and rolling porpoises galore. It occurred to me that the best way to end a day on the water is to spend the evening on it as well!
The next day dawned with a full morning to night schedule, and thus demanded a hearty breakfast to provide nutrient and caloric fuel. Our two-car SUV caravan headed to Cape Canaveral Inlet, where a large table at Grills Tiki Bar and Restaurant (1-321-868-2226) awaited us. This was clearly a full-blown seaside Florida eatery with excellent around the clock food. It was decorated in a fun maritime fashion and offered adjacent views of the cruise ships. Grills Tiki Bar and Restaurant is located at the epicenter of Cape Canaveral "action" and enjoys a broad-based customer following.
Our next destination on the tour was Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex (www.kennedyspacecenter.com/), an absolutely essential place to not only visit, observe, and learn- but more importantly, to experience. As members of a press tour, we also got an incredibly in-depth look at the actual workings of N.A.S.A. (www.nasa.gov/). Firstly, anglers and their families will be astonished by the experience, strength, and hope that have been the foundation of the N.A.S.A. program. Secondly, fishing folks- who are aquanauts- should easily identify with the exploratory passion, technical expertise, and cosmic reverence of the wonderful astronauts of the program from inception to present. When you watch men walking on the moon with Planet Earth hanging high in the sky above them, you'll feel a keen sense of respect and perspective that will quicken the philosophical foundations of why and how you should fish.
There are many images and experiences that whirl around in my mind from Kennedy Space Center, yet there are two that stand out with the strongest color and clarity. The first was a delightful question and answer session over lunch with astronaut Storey Musgrave, whose vision for mankind's relationship to science, space travel, and the human race itself was deeply enriching. The second was the obvious and demonstrable excellent stewardship for the marine, marsh, and beach environment that this program has been able to achieve and maintain. Wildlife abounds on N.A.S.A. grounds! As our tour bus took us deep into in the program's property, I saw resplendent bird life aloft and wading as well as lots of redfish tailing over pristine flats and creeks. Visiting and experiencing Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is sure to give you and your family a day to remember. Their contact number is 1-321-449-4444.
Like all good experiences, the day passed quickly and all of a sudden it was six o' clock and time to leave for dinner. Our little caravan quickly reassembled itself and headed for the famous Dixie Crossroads restaurant (www.dixiecrossroads.com/) in nearby Titusville. This landmark eatery is more than a visit- it's an event! The owner, Laurilee Thompson, has seen to it that a staggering array of fresh ocean-caught seafood is available in various preparations that are sure to please any palette. Added to this incredible base are steaks, ribs, soups, salads, and Old Florida desserts that guarantee a home run dining triumph for all visitors. Their phone number is 1-321-268-5000. As I lingered over some key lime pie and iced coffee, Laurilee informed our group that she'd be joining us on that evening's kayak trip.
As nightfall settled over the Space Coast, Laurilee lead our caravan deep into the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. We made a brief stop to watch some manatees feeding alongside Haulover Canal Bridge. In five more minutes, we arrived at our kayak launching area. This part of the tour was to be headed up by A Day Away Kayak Tours (1-321-268-2655) – (www.adayawaykayaktours.com/). Owner Mike Mahn greeted our group and gave us a kayak safety and operation talk as well as discussing our paddling itinerary. Our nighttime water safari would take us from the northern reaches of the Indian River through Haulover Canal into the Mosquito Lagoon. This particular kayak tour featured Biolumenescent Amazement, which is caused by glowing organisms in the water that give off a "cold light" as your paddle goes through them in the water. Although the ambient light of the half moon cut down on optimal darkness for viewing this phenomenon, it was easy to see the fiery trails of these organisms if you kayaked in the shadows of the tree lines. Other highlights included up-close and personal contact with porpoises swimming alongside us as well as the cascades of mullet that showered over our kayaks as we paddled through them. I did see some tarpon strike the mullet, but my not bringing a rod was dictated by the parameters of this itinerary; and besides, the nighttime magic of glowing fish trails under a serene summer nighttime sky was completely sufficient! The trip took two hours and was a delightful adventure. This day and the entire Tour was something that will find itself in my Hallway of Cherished Memories.
Some of the best news I have to report is that my monster redfish trip with Captain Brian Pahmeier remains in the near future and not in the past. This means I'll be journeying to the Space Coast very soon, a trip I'm sure I'll be taking again and again.

What to Expect When You're Expecting?
New National Survey from Baby Magic Reveals That Moms Still Don't Know What to Expect Despite Greater Access to Information than Ever Before
May 02, 2012, 10:01 ET
DALLAS, May 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- With Mother's Day just around the corner and Hollywood turning its attention to the joys and surprises of expectant moms, a new survey of moms conducted by Baby Magic* reveals that, even in an age of non-stop information sharing, the reality of motherhood is very different than the expectation.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120502/CG99269LOGO)
The survey asked moms to compare and contrast their pre-birth preparations with their post-birth life. The overwhelming majority (93%) attempted to arm themselves with information through at least one of these three sources:
- Getting personal - Family, friends and other one-on-one connections (90%)
- By the book - Authors and other advice experts (82%)
- Going online - Blogs, social media and web sites (61%)
But when does information gathering become information overload? Here the results get more interesting. Almost two in five (37%) found the amount of advice to be overwhelming, while one-third (33%) found themselves confused or scared prior to having their baby. And all of the online advice, mom-to-mom conversations, and well-researched books can only go so far in preparing new moms for what lies ahead.
Great Expectations Meet the Reality of Motherhood
Regardless of how prepared moms were for motherhood, more than half (51%) still found themselves in surprising situations they hadn't anticipated. Despite their best efforts to envision what motherhood entails, nearly four in five (79%) found post-baby life to be more chaotic than expected. And 51% admitted that being a mom is more work than they ever imagined.
Unexpected curveballs and situations provided the biggest surprises (and embarrassments!). The moms surveyed had no shortage of examples, including:
- Water, water everywhere – all over the bathroom floor (57%)
- A poop explosion covering baby's clothes (42%)
- "Unidentified" diaper smells (34%)
- It's bathtime – get mom a raincoat! (37%)
- Baby spit up – on someone other than mom! (30%)
- More food "on" baby than "in" baby (30%)
- Baby "passed wind" in a crowded public space (20%)
- Baby went to the bathroom -- on someone! (16%)
The Appeal of the Familiar Amidst the Chaos
Amidst all of the unexpected, how did moms find comfort? One way was the lure of familiar baby products. Over 70% said that they seek out recognizable brand names or those that have been recommended by family and friends.
"With so much information coming at new moms from every direction, sometimes a simple, time-tested solution is the reassurance she needs. Baby Magic has been dedicated to providing innovative products for over 61 years, and we're proud to be an important part of mom's daily routine," said Peter Song, Executive Vice President at Baby Magic.
Would Mom Change A Thing?
Despite the gap between post-baby expectations and reality, as well as all of the ups and downs that come with parenthood, when it comes to their babies new moms wouldn't change a thing. Nearly four in five still found magic in the everyday moments with their baby (79%) and would not trade their experiences for anything in the world (79%). In addition, 54% thought that their baby's first laugh or steps were their most memorable moments.
And Thank Heavens For Dad
Mom is not afraid to ask for assistance, especially from her spouse. The survey showed that while moms appreciate their one-on-one time with their babies, dads often lend a hand in lightening the load. Among those fathers who play an active role in their baby's life, three in five assisted in diaper changing (60%), while nearly half took on meal (49%), bath (49%), and bed (47%) time duties.
Baby Magic's products range in price from $3.99 to $6.99 and are available nationally at Toys "R" Us, Babies "R" Us and other retailers that can be found at www.BabyMagic.com.

Look what I found out about the TWO-dollar bill...
Former U.S. President Thomas Jefferson is featured on the obverse of the note. The painting The Declaration of Independence by John Trumbull is featured on the reverse. The design on the obverse (excluding the elements of a Federal Reserve Note) is the oldest design of current U.S. currency, having been adopted in 1929; the reverse is the second oldest design, having been adopted in 1976.
Production of the note is quite low; approximately 1% of all notes currently produced are $2 bills. This comparative scarcity in circulation has led to an overall lack of public knowledge of the $2 bill and has also inspired urban legends and folk beliefs concerning it.
In 1976 use of the two-dollar denomination was resumed as part of the United States bicentennial ($2.00 is equal to two hundred cents) and the two-dollar bill was finally assigned as a Federal Reserve Note, with a new design on the back.
When the current note was first issued in 1976, it was met with general curiosity, and was seen as a collectible, not as a piece of regularly circulating currency, which the Treasury intended it to be. The main reason it failed to circulate was that businesses never really requested them as part of their normal operations to give back out in change. This failure is linked to the gradual disappearance of the former $2 United States Notes.
Today, there is a common misconception that the $2 bill is no longer in circulation. According to the Treasury, they "receive many letters asking why the $2 bill is no longer in circulation". In response, the Treasury states: "The $2 bill remains one of our circulating currency denominations. According to B.E.P. statistics, 590,720,000 Series 1976 $2 bills were printed and as of February 28, 1999, there was $1,166,091,458 worth of $2 bills in circulation worldwide." However, "in circulation" does not necessarily mean that the notes are actively circulated, only that this is the amount that hasn't been redeemed for shredding. The Treasury states that the best way for the $2 bill to circulate is if businesses use them as they would any other denomination.
$2.00 bill 1862 Legal Tender
Obverse of the famous 1896 $2 "Educational Series" Silver Certificate
The artwork on the note is an allegorical figure of science presenting steam and electricity to commerce and manufacture.
Here are some stories about the TWO-dollar bil:
Taco Bell
In a story, documented on Snopes.com, a Taco Bell patron attempted to pay for a burrito with a two-dollar bill. The cashier and the store manager both refused to accept it as valid U.S. currency, believing that there was no such thing as a two-dollar bill.
Best Buy
In February of 2005, a patron of Best Buy attempted to pay for an electronics installation with 57 $2 bills. The cashier refused to accept them and marked them as counterfeit. The cashier then called the police, and the patron was handcuffed until a U.S. Treasury Agent arrived to clear up the issue.
Most current $2 bills are not collectible!Sharing information about Two-Dollar Bills with the World

Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:FBC) Investor Alert: Investigation over Potential Wrongdoing
An investigation for shareholders of Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:FBC) over possible breaches of fiduciary duties by certain directors and officers was announced and NYSE:FBC stockholders should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
San Diego, CA -- (SBWire) -- 06/20/2012 --Certain officers and directors at Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. are under investigation over whether they breached their fiduciary duties in connection with allegations that its Flagstar Bank, FSB violated the False Claims Act.
Investors who purchased shares of Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:FBC), have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail(at)shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1(858) 779 - 1554.
The investigation by a law firm focuses on whether certain statements of Flagstar Bancorp's business, its prospects and its operations were materially false and misleading at the time they were made. Specifically, the investigation concerns allegations that Flagstar Bancorp's Flagstar Bank, FSB violated the False Claims Act when it allegedly improperly endorsed federally-insured mortgage loans that eventually defaulted and allegedly falsely certified its loan underwriting practices to federal housing authorities.
On February 24, 2012, Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:FBC), the holding company for Flagstar Bank, FSB, announced that Flagstar Bank, FSB has entered into an agreement with the United States Department of Justice ("DOJ") relating to certain underwriting practices associated with loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") of the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. said as a result of the Agreement, Flagstar Bancorp, Inc will be revising its fourth quarter and full year 2011 financial results . However, Flagstar Bancorp, Inc said it is reaffirming the 2012 guidance it provided on its fourth quarter 2011 earnings call.
The DOJ said that that the United States has filed, and simultaneously settled, a civil fraud lawsuit against Flagstar Bank, FSB for improperly approving residential home mortgage loans for government insurance.
The DOJ said that in the settlement, Flagstar Bank, FSB admitted, acknowledged, and accepted responsibility for submitting false certifications to HUD. The false certifications induced the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") to accept loans for government insurance that were not eligible and that resulted in losses to HUD when the loans defaulted.
The DOJ said that Flagstar Bank, FSB agreed to pay $132.8 million to the United States in damages and penalties under the False Claims Act and to reform its business practices.
Shares of Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:FBC) fell from over $1.50 in April 2011 to as low as $0.47 in September 2011.
NYSE:FBC stocks closed on Tuesday, Jun e 19, 2012 at $0.74 per share.
Those who purchased shares of Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:FBC) and currently hold those Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:FBC) shares, have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
