MLS and Mexican First Division Veteran, Former Chivas USA Head Coach to Serve as Head of RSL-Arizona's U.S. Soccer Development Academy Squad
SANDY, Utah / CASA GRANDE, Ariz. (Thursday, July 21, 2011) – Real Salt Lake and Grande Sports World today announced that Martin Vasquez has been appointed Head Coach and Director of Soccer Operations for the U.S. Soccer Development Academy U-16 and U-18 teams of the Real Salt Lake-Arizona Academy. In addition to his roles with the burgeoning RSL-Arizona program, Vasquez will also serve as the Director of Soccer for Grande Sports World and Grande Sports Academy, the home of the RSL-AZ Academy, based in Casa Grande, Arizona.
"It is a great honor and a dream come true to be able to make a positive impact on the young men at the Real Salt Lake-Arizona Academy, who we hope to develop into great players for Real Salt Lake, Grande Sports World and universities around the country," said the 47-year-old Vasquez. "I am looking forward to achieving great things both on and off the field with the academy players."
Vasquez brings a wealth of international playing and coaching experience at the highest levels to his new post, having suited up in the national team colors of both the United States and Mexico in addition to spending several seasons with a handful of Mexican Primera Division and Major League Soccer clubs before embarking on his coaching career. At Grande Sports Academy, Vasquez is reunited with Real Salt Lake-Arizona coach Mike Muñoz, who played under Vasquez while an assistant coach for Major League Soccer's Chivas USA from 2005-06.
"I am excited to have the opportunity to work with Martin again and look forward to seeing how his knowledge of the game and his inspiration impacts our players," said Muñoz, who garnered the USSDA's U-15/16 Coach of the Year honor just a few weeks ago.
Born in Yahualica, Mexico, Vasquez moved at the age of 12 to the United States, where he became an All-American performer both at Alhambra (CA) High School and California State University–Los Angeles. Upon graduating, Vazquez began his professional playing days in both indoor and outdoor leagues in the USA between 1984 and 1987 before heading to Mexico to continue his career in the country's first division, beginning with a three-year stint for Universidad de Guadalajara (1987-90). He also played for Puebla (1990-91) and Veracruz (1991-92) before moving on to his most successful stop, a four-year stay with Atlas, which he made over 100 appearances for from 1992-96.
"Real Salt Lake is excited to add a coach of Martin's caliber to our youth program," said Real Salt Lake Sr. Vice President of Soccer Operations & General Manager Garth Lagerwey, "and we looking forward to working with him to prepare our academy players for the next level."
Vasquez was allocated to the Tampa Bay Mutiny of Major League Soccer in the league's inaugural season in 1996, and his outstanding play as a defensive midfielder earned him a spot in the MLS All-Star Game that season. He enjoyed two seasons in Tampa Bay and one final campaign with the San Jose Clash in 1998 before retiring from the playing field, wrapping up a 17-year professional career before shifting his focus to coaching.
"I thought I was going to play forever, but late in my career I started thinking about coaching," said Vasquez. "Not pros, but youth soccer, because I wanted to give back to the game that gave me so much."
After his playing days, Vasquez cut his coaching teeth for a handful of years at the high school, collegiate and WUSA levels before re-joining the ranks of MLS as an assistant on the sidelines of both tenants of The Home Depot Center – the Los Angeles Galaxy (2004) and Chivas USA (2005-08). Vasquez would then have the rare opportunity to expand his coaching horizons in Europe, joining Bayern Munich for its 2008-09 Bundesliga campaign under the legendary Jürgen Klinsmann, who described Vasquez as "a constant driving force, with great passion and commitment to his players." In December of 2009, Vasquez got the opportunity to return to Chivas USA, this time as the team's head coach, a post which he manned for the squad's 2010 season (8-18-4).
Vasquez joins the Real Salt Lake-Arizona Academy at the end of a brilliant inaugural season in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy, where it competed among 78 other elite youth soccer programs from across the nation. The RSL-AZ U-16 team was undefeated in both playoff rounds and finished third in the country at the end of the USSDA's "Finals Week" tournament in Milwaukee last weekend, while the RSL-AZ U-18 team also made the postseason and ended the season among the top 16 teams in the nation in its age group. RSL-AZ is currently holding auditions for the 2011-2012 season.
The high-profile opportunities will continue for the program, as several members of the RSL-Arizona teams are gearing up to join forces with their RSL-Utah and RSL-Florida brethren for next week's Generation adidas Cup (formerly the SUM U-17 Cup), taking place at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas, from July 25-31. In addition, six RSL-AZ players have already suited up for Real Salt Lake in MLS Reserve League action – with five more fixtures through October offering even more opportunities in the coming months – while several others trained with the Claret-and-Cobalt during the first-team's annual pre-season stay at Grande Sports World in February.

How do gamers and other people in technology signal their work in their clothing?
CHRISTINA It's unfortunate — so much "Internet fashion" seems to be relegated to joke T-shirts, which is too bad because a) everyone already has enough T-shirts and b) they're so unsubtle.
MATT Wearing your phone on your belt is gauche, and carrying around a game consul is itself a little odd, but wearing your technology on your sleeve is kind of what everyone's trying to do.
CHRISTINA I prefer items where if someone sees it and understands the joke, great, but if they don't get it, they're not alienated. I wear a lot of pieces that look pixilated. I like things that are geeky but that don't scream "I'm a nerd!"
Matt, in helping to develop Harmonix's Dance Central franchise, did you have much say in how the avatars looked?
Yeah, I made a lookbook for the art team to interpret in terms of both the individual characters and how they fit within the world. It's often commented that many of the characters have the same accessories as me, but I take style cues from them, too. It goes back and forth.
Do you two stand out in tech crowds?
MATT Yeah, especially at conventions. People ask whether I'm showing for a particular product or something. They find me cartoonish.
CHRISTINA At conferences I need to strike a balance: I have to be somewhat formal, but the reason that I'm ever even invited is that they want my youthful perspective, so I need to wear something more fun. — Alice GregoryInterview has been condensed and edited.

Who Was the Biggest NBA All-Star Snub?
On the NBA Eastern Conference All-Star team, Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Kevin Garnett are the starters. The reserves are Jrue Holiday, Kyrie Irving, Chris Bosh, Tyson Chandler, Joakim Noah, Paul George, and Luol Deng.
In NBA Western Conference, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and Dwight Howard are the starters. The reserves are Tony Parker, Russell Westbrook, Tim Duncan, Zach Randolph, LaMarcus Aldridge, James Harden and David Lee.
Every professional league always has the hot debate of which star was left off the All-Star roster and which stars shouldn't have been voted into the game. Here's my biggest snubs left off the team:
Stephen Curry, PG, Golden State Warriors: Curry has dealt with some injuries, but is averaging 20.9 points per game, and 6.6 assists while shooting 43% from field and 45% from long range. Curry has led the Warriors to a 26 and 15 record, second best in the Pacific Division. His teammate, David Lee, may just be as deserving. Lee is averaging 19.6 points per game and 10.8 rebounds per game.
Brook Lopez, C, Brooklyn Nets: Lopez is averaging 18.6 points and 7.4 assists per game, and shooting 52% from the floor. Simmons makes the note that Lopez is doing this by getting double-teamed, and Bosh is being wide open. Plus, the Nets are the 3-seed right now and that's after a resurgence after they fired head coach Avery Johnson.

What we're about
"Permaculture. A copyright word, owned as a common copyright by the Permaculture Institutes & their graduates. Derived from 'Permanent' and 'Culture', as follows:
Permanent: From the Latin permanens, to remain to the end, to persist throughout (per = through, manere = to continue)
Culture: From the Latin cultura - cultivation of land, or the intellect. Now generalized to mean all those habits, beliefs, or activities than sustain human societies.
Thus, Permaculture is the study of the design of those sustainable or enduring systems that support human society, both agricultural & intellectual, traditional & scientific, architectural, financial & legal. It is the study of integrated systems, for the purpose of better design & application of such systems"
-Bill Mollison
"Permaculture Design is not the rain, the roof, or the garden. Permaculture Design is the connections between these things. Permaculture brings cohesion where there was once isolation."
"The practice of designing sustainable human habitats by following nature's patterns."
-Organic Gardening
"Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted & thoughtful observation rather than protracted & thoughtless action; of looking at systems in all their functions rather than asking only one yield of them & of allowing systems to demonstrate their own evolutions."
-Bill Mollison
Meet other local people who are interested in Permaculture, urban sustainability and related issues. Meetups are typically held on the third Thursday of every month at 7:00 pm.

The Repeal of Glass-Steagall and the Advent of Broad Banking
by James R. Barth, R. Dan Brumbaugh Jr. and James A. Wilcox
Enactment of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) in November 1999 effectively repealed the long-standing prohibitions on the mixing of banking with securities or insurance businesses and thus permits "broad banking." Since the barriers that separated banking from other financial activities have been crumbling for some time, GLBA is better viewed as ratifying, rather than revolutionizing, the practice of banking.
We attribute repeal of these prohibitions to the increasingly persuasive evidence from academic studies of the pre-Glass-Steagall era, the recent favorable experience in the United States following partial deregulation of banking activities, the experience of banking systems abroad with broader scopes for banking activities, and rapid technological change in telecommunications and data processing.
GLBA generally adheres to the principle of "functional regulation," which holds that similar activities should be regulated by the same regulator. How regulators will in practice coordinate their efforts so that the safety and soundness of the banking system is maintained efficiently remains to be seen.
Broad banking companies may produce financial services at greater convenience and lower cost. Increased product diversification may simultaneously make them less prone to failure. It is unclear, however, whether continuing technological advance or any future banking liberalization will favor "one-stop shopping" via broad banking companies, or perhaps will favor delivery of the financial products and services of multiple companies through an internet portal.

Sri Lanka put it across South Africa to launch their campaign on a winning note. Do join us for the second Group 1 game of the night, its the battle of the underdogs - England vs New Zealand. Cheers and farewell for now.
Chandimal: "We have bowlers like Mendis and Malinga. Yeah, Kushal played some really good cricket. He has improved his game. It became really tight at the end but we knew that we could win this game. It was a good start and Mathews batted well at the end."
AB de Villiers: "The bowlers did came back but it was not our best bowling performance. If we are to progess further in the tournament then we will have to learn to chase totals."
Kusal Perera is the Man of the Match for his belligerent 40-ball-61.
Hashim Amla, de Kock, AB, Miller, Albie et all got starts but were guilty of not making it count. Whilst Mendis blew hot and cold, Sachitra Senanayake left the Proteas batsmen at sea in the middle overs. Miller and Albie Morkel smashed a few meaty blows but as is the norm, Malinga's ferocious yorkers saw Sri Lanka prevail in the end. The efficient bowlers were backed up by some energetic fielding as well. The broad grin on Chandimal's face sums up the satisfaction of a job well done. Do stay with us for the presentation ceremony.19.6
Malinga to Tahir, SIX, Sri Lanka beat South Africa by 5 runs. This was on a length and outside off, Tahir creates additional room and slams it up and over deep extra over. It has been a case of too little, too late for the Proteas19.5
Malinga to Tahir, no run, very full and around off, Tahir drills it straight to the fielder at extra-cover19.4
Malinga to Tahir, 2 runs, fullish and outside off, Tahir swings his bat and slices it uppishly, long off runs back but the ball evades him19.3
Malinga to Tahir, no run, yorker speared in on middle, dug back down the track
Imran Tahir, right handed bat, comes to the crease19.2
Malinga to D Miller, out D Miller Run Out!! 1 run completed. That might just be the death knell for RSA. Miller falls run-out. What else other than a yorker, D Miller digs it down to long-off. Miller has to rush double quick for the second, for he was jogging for the first run. Thisara fires a throw adjacent to the stumps, Sanga does the rest to crush South Africa's hopes. D Miller run out (T Perera/Sangakkara) 19(16) [4s-1]
Malinga to D Miller, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!
Morne Morkel, left handed bat, comes to the crease19.1
Malinga to D Miller, out Steyn Run Out!! Malinga delivers an all too familiar yorker, D Miller gets his bat down in time and squirts it away towards wide mid-on. Miller sets off initially but sends his partner back. Mathews picks up the ball up quickly and throws it to Malinga at the bowler's end. Malinga just palms the ball onto the bails to catch Steyn napping. Steyn run out (Mathews/Malinga) 0(2)
Malinga to D Miller, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!
Run-out chance sent upstairs. Its OUT. Steyn has to go!
The equation boils down to 15 off the final over. Man with the ball? The name is Malinga, Lasith Malinga.18.6
N Kulasekara to Steyn, no run, very full and outside off again, Steyn wants to cart it over cover but no dice. End of a brilliant over from Kula18.5
N Kulasekara to Steyn, no run, pitched up outside off, off-speed one as well, Steyn swings and misses
Kula is wiping the ball vigorously. He wants the ball to be as dry as possible.18.4
N Kulasekara to D Miller, 1 run, yorker outside off, D Miller crumps it down to long off18.3
N Kulasekara to D Miller, 2 runs, pushed full on the stumps, D Miller drills it down to long on, he wants the double, Dale Steyn, with a hurt hamstring is struggling but no they make it in the end
Dale Steyn, right handed bat, comes to the crease18.2
N Kulasekara to Behardien, out Caught by M Jayawardene!! Smart stuff from Kula. This was a slowish, short ball outside off, Behardien does not spot it as he is early into the heave. He mishits it to long-on, where Mahela pumps his fists in delight after snaffling it. Behardien c M Jayawardene b N Kulasekara 5(4)
N Kulasekara to Behardien, THATS OUT!! Caught!!18.1
N Kulasekara to D Miller, 1 run, N Kulasekara takes a page out of Malinga's book and produces a stinging yorker, D Miller manages to jam it out to long off
Nuwan Kulasekara [2.0-0-19-0] is back into the attack
19 runs from 12 balls reads the equation. Kula to bowl the penultimate over.17.6
Malinga to D Miller, 1 run, attempted yorker again, this one ends up as a full toss, D Miller whips it away to mid wicket but straight to the fielder, only a single results17.5
Malinga to D Miller, 2 runs, another toe-crusher speared in, D Miller manages to squeeze it out to long off, a bit of sloppiness in the deep aids South Africa's cause17.4
Malinga to Behardien, 1 run, another yorker, this one tailing in on middle, Behardien squirts it away to mid on17.3
Malinga to D Miller, 1 run, Malinga gets the yorker right now, nothing doing from Miller except jamming it past mid-wicket17.2
Malinga to D Miller, FOUR, pitched up and outside off, Malinga just misses the yorker, D Miller crashes the drive between extra cover and long off, crucial strike for RSA17.1
Malinga to Behardien, 1 run, right in the blockhole, on middle, Behardien drills it down to long on
Lasith Malinga [2.0-0-10-1] is back into the attack16.6
A Mendis to Behardien, 3 runs, tossed up on off, Behardien drags it away through vacant mid-on by flicking his wrists, the man from deep mid-wicket rushes in and throws it to the bowler's end. Miller's sprawling dive ensures that he is safe. What more? South Africa earn another run off the deflection
TV umpire has been pressed into service for a run-out chance. Miller is the man in question. He is well in thanks to a dive. The Sri Lankan fielders, especially Sanga looked animated there.16.5
A Mendis to D Miller, 1 run, darter outside off, D Miller squirts it away to mid off
Farhaan Behardien, right handed bat, comes to the crease16.4
A Mendis to A Morkel, out Caught by Chandimal!! Mendis finally has the last laugh as Morkel has to depart. Sri Lanka's catching has been razor sharp, as exemplified by this take from Chandimal. Another low full toss, A Morkel winds up for the mighty slog-sweep but does not get enough elevation on this one, the captain pouches it near the boundary. A Morkel c Chandimal b A Mendis 12(4) [6s-2]
A Mendis to A Morkel, THATS OUT!! Caught!!16.3

Right then, Kusal fuelled Sri Lanka have set South Africa a challenging target. Much will depend upon how AB and company deal with Sri Lanka's spinners. Here we go for the run-chase.
South African bowlers took time to settle down. Steyn was expensive and it was Tahir who did all the damage as he picked up 3 wickets for just 26 runs. The pitch looks like a belter and there is something in it for the fast bowlers. Join us back to check out how the Proteas go about their run chase....
Both sides will be satisfied with their performance. Sri Lanka would have thought about 160 at the start of the innings and South Africa will be happy that they pulled things back after a lightning start.

The national anthems of both teams are done and dusted. All set for an electrifying contest. The South African players have a final team talk before striding out to the center. Steyn to kick off proceedings for the Proteas...
South Africa (Playing XI): Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock(w), Jean-Paul Duminy, AB de Villiers(c), David Miller, Farhaan Behardien, Albie Morkel, Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel, Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Imran Tahir
Sri Lanka (Playing XI): Kushal Janith Perera, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara(w), Dinesh Chandimal(c), Angelo Mathews, Thisara Perera, Nuwan Kulasekara, Sachithra Senanayake, Ajantha Mendis, Lasith Malinga
Chandimal: "We have done well in the last few games. The spinners and Malinga have done well. We will bat first. There will be some purchase for the spinners later on and that's why we are batting. Thirimanne, Rangana, Suranga and Seekkuge miss out unfortunately."
de Villiers: "We will miss our captain du Plessis today. Well, injuries are part of this game. Good to see some grass on the wicket, hopefully we will make early inroads. I wasn't sure what to do but now we will look to bat well now and put them under pressure. Dale Steyn is fit to play."
Sri Lanka have won the toss and have opted to bat
AB de Villiers is captaining South Africa.
Duminy: "It has been going well of late, particularly in this format. I have an opportunity to contribute in all facets. It is not all that different, apart from that 5-10% tweak. At the end of the day, you have to assess the conditions first. The wickets here assist the spinners. Sri Lanka have some key match-winners, we will have to assess the conditions quickly. I have not been to Bangladesh in a few years, it is always exciting to play in the subcontinent.'
Pitch Report: "There has been some swing on offer for the seamers in Chittagong. We haven't seen spinners get much of a purchase here. The wicket looks nice and hard. There is a bit of grass on it as well, but I think, this will be a really good T20 wicket," reckons Shaun Pollock.
Early wins will ensure smooth progress into the final four. Who will come up trumps today? The toss is imminent. Do stay tuned..
Chandimal's men will be up against a South African unit, hit by injuries. Captain Faf du Plessis and bowling spearhead, Dale Steyn are iffy starters with both suffering hamstring injuries. Albie Morkel, who brings with him a wealth of T20 experience returns to the team. Leggie, Imran Tahir will be assisted by JP Duminy in the spin department.
Hello, hello, ladies and gentlemen. Sri Lanka are amongst the most balanced sides in the World T20 Championship alongside Australia and West Indies. Kusal Perera, treading the Jayasuriya route, possesses the arsenal to fire flying starts. Mahela and Sanga (in their farewell T20I tournament) are the lynchpins, whilst Mathews and Thisara adept at finishing an innings. Summon Malinga for the pin-point yorkers and let the spinners asphyxiate the opposition. Sri Lanka's only cause for worry has been the indifferent form of Dilshan.
Preview by Gokul Gopal
Injury-plagued South Africa will face a stiff task when they take on Sri Lanka in their opening game of the T20 WC at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong. The Proteas, who may find themselves without the services of T20I skipper Faf du Plessis and pace-spearhead Dale Steyn, will need the rest of the line-up to make up for the absence of these two key players. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka will be going into the game with a lot of confidence, having been in the country for the past two months and remaining unbeaten in all three formats.
Previous meetings:
South Africa have played Sri Lanka only once before in the T20 WC. This encounter, a rain-curtailed one, was in the previous edition in Sri Lanka which the Proteas won by 32 runs. Overall, South Africa have played 4 T20Is against Sri Lanka and have won 3 and lost one.
South Africa:
The South African batting order was made to sweat by the Bangladesh A team in the warm-up match before the African side emerged victorious. The top-order, consisting of Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock and AB de Villiers, failed with the bat before the efforts of JP Duminy, Farhaan Behardien and Albie Morkel bailed them out of trouble. Against Pakistan, Amla and de Kock got off to a good start in a low chase before de Villiers and David Miller got an opportunity to spend some time in the middle. The South Africans have a strong batting order to make up for the absence of du Plessis. What they will be hoping for is a strong showing from the lot and some application against the testing Lankan spin bowlers.
The bowlers were good in both the warm-up games with the likes of Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Beuran Hendricks and Wayne Parnell coming up with fine performances. In Steyn's absence, Morne Morkel will have to lead the pace-attack and South Africa will be hoping that he delivers for them while they will also be expecting the rest of the quicks to complement Morkel. In the spin department, Imran Tahir will be expected to come to the party on turn-friendly tracks in Bangladesh while JP Duminy will also have to pitch in.
Sri Lanka:
The Lankans have not lost a single international game since setting foot on Bangladeshi soil in January. They won the Test series, the ODI series and the T20I series against the hosts convincingly, before emerging victorious in the Asia Cup. Apart from the warm-up game against West Indies, which they lost, Sri Lanka have not done much wrong. They have a powerful batting line-up with the presence of the big 3 - Tillakaratne Dilshan, Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene - while Kusal Perera and skipper Dinesh Chandimal are also capable batsmen. In Angelo Mathews and Thisara Perera, the Lankans have quality all-rounders who give depth to the batting order. Sri Lanka will be hoping for a solid performance from the batsmen against a quality South African pace-attack.
Lasith Malinga and Nuwan Kulasekara will be the key pacemen in the Sri Lankan attack while skipper Chandimal will also be hoping for Mathews and Perera to support them. Malinga has been in good form of late and the Lankans will be hoping that he continues in the same vein during the T20 WC. Kulasekara went for a few runs in both the warm-up matches. However, he is a quality bowler who knows what needs to be done, and Sri Lanka will be banking on him for timely strikes. The Chandimal-led side's will expect the spinners to do most of the damage. Ajantha Mendis will be the leader of the spin attack while Sachitra Senanayake will be expected to deliver as well. Dilshan is the other spin option Sri Lanka can go for.
Team News:
Du Plessis and Steyn are struggling with hamstring niggles and may not play in this game. In case the regular skipper misses out, de Villiers will lead the South African team while Behardien is likely to be included in the eleven. Morne Morkel and Lonwabo Tsotsobe are a certainty in the side while it is likely to be a toss up between Parnell and Hendricks for the third seamer's spot. As far as the Sri Lankan eleven is concerned, they are likely to go in with the same tried and tested line-up that they have opted for in recent times.
Pitch and conditions:
The ball comes on nicely to the bat on the Chittagong track while there is also something in it for the pacers. The spinners may find it difficult, particularly in the second innings as the dew factor might come into play.
Watch out for:
David Miller - The left-hander is renowned for his big hitting capabilities and will have a big role to play in the South African batting order. Having been used to subcontinent conditions while playing in the T20-League, Miller's experience on spin-friendly tracks will be very useful for the Proteas.
Kusal Perera - Like Miller, Perera too can send the ball a long way. He has given Sri Lanka quick-fire starts many a time but has also failed on multiple occasions. If he manages to stick on, he can completely destroy an attack and take the game away from the opposition.
50 - If Mahela Jayawardene plays this game, it will be his 50th appearance in T20Is. He will become the fourth Sri Lankan player after Dilshan, Malinga and Sangakkara to have played 50 or more Twenty20 Internationals.
9 - The number of fours JP Duminy requires to reach the mark of 100 boundaries in T20Is. He will become the second South African after Graeme Smith to do so in case he gets to the milestone.
We have our idea of what we want to do with combinations after these (warm-up) games. We need to look at conditions in Chittagong, they might be different to Dhaka and the opposition that we play against will also play a role - South Africa coach, Russell Domingo.
The advantage we have is we play our four group matches in Chittagong where we played our two T20 matches against Bangladesh. But T20 cricket is very different, it's an all action fast thinking game where things can change very quickly - Sri Lanka coach, Paul Farbrace.

April 2013 UCDP Release Notification and UAD Update
April 16, 2013
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (the GSEs) are providing you with the April 2013 Uniform Collateral Data Portal® (UCDP®) Release Notification and Uniform Appraisal Dataset (UAD) Update to announce the June 22, 2013, implementation of the first phase of the conversion of current UAD compliance warning edits to fatal UAD edits in the UCDP.
The first phase includes the following data fields:
- Appraisal effective date
- Subject contract price/Comparable sale price
- Above grade Gross Living Area (GLA) (subject and comparables)
- Sale type (subject and comparables)
Reminder: If an appraisal submitted to the UCDP receives one or more fatal UAD edits a "Not Successful" status will be issued. The loan will not be eligible for delivery to either GSE unless an appraisal with the required data in the correct format is resubmitted to ensure a "Successful" status.
Also included in this notification are updates on the following:
- Addition of the latitude and longitude data fields to the UAD and the UCDP.
- Reminder on including additional backup lender administrators in your UCDP account profile.
For additional details refer to the April 2013 UCDP Release Notification and UAD Update.
Freddie Mac Proprietary Appraisal Messaging
Also on June 22, 2013, Freddie Mac will begin implementing proprietary appraisal quality messaging in the UCDP by providing Freddie Mac's automated valuation model (AVM), Home Value Explorer® (HVE®). Adding the HVE results in the UCDP will provide you with an early view into appraisal quality and any potential collateral risk. This enhancement is part of our continued focus on providing you with tools to enhance your loan manufacturing process, so you can have greater purchase certainty in the loans you sell to Freddie Mac.
Freddie Mac is adding HVE results in the UCDP to provide you with feedback regarding the accuracy of the appraised value and quality of appraisals submitted to the UCDP. HVE generates an estimate of property value in seconds. With the addition of HVE, UCDP will:
- Provide a general warning message when appraised values appear excessive based on the HVE results.
- Display results in the findings section on the appraisal view/edit page on the new Freddie Mac tab.
Freddie Mac Findings Tab
The UCDP will be updated to include a new Freddie Mac Findings tab within the Findings section. This new tab will be visible for Doc File IDs associated with appraisals submitted to Freddie Mac through the UCDP. The HVE results will be displayed on the appraisal view/edit page on the new Freddie Mac tab.
The HVE results will also be displayed in the "Freddie Mac Proprietary Edit Findings" section on the Freddie Mac Submission Summary Report (SSR).
New Appraisal Messages
UCDP may provide the following HVE findings, as applicable, for each appraisal submitted to Freddie Mac:
|Message ID
|Message Text
|HVE is currently unavailable.
|HVE value not available. This appraisal form cannot be submitted to HVE.
|HVE value not available. An invalid appraised value cannot be submitted to HVE.
|Unable to return the HVE point value for <Property Street Address, Property City, Property State Property Postal Code/singlefamily/sell/ucdp_vendors.html>.
|HVE value not available. The subject address cannot be validated in HVE
|Review for Accuracy: The Estimated Value of Property for this transaction may be excessive for the local market. The appraisal should be carefully reviewed for this transaction.
|<HVE Point Value Range Amount> is the HVE point value estimate for <Property Street Address, Property City, Property State Property Postal Code>. The HVE point value estimate returned does not indicate Freddie Mac's acceptance of the appraised value entered for the subject property. The Lender will continue to be responsible for the property appraisal, as well as representation and warranties of the appraisal, regardless of the HVE Market Value.
|The percentage difference between the estimated/appraised value and the HVE point value estimate of the subject property is <HVE Variance %>.
|<HVE Confidence Score Value> is the HVE Confidence Level of the HVE point value estimate of the subject property. <HVE Sigma Value> is the HVE Forecast Standard Deviation of the HVE point value estimate of the subject property.
These warning messages only apply to the following four UAD forms, except for the HVE020 warning message, which is returned on the submission of a non-UAD form:
- Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (Freddie Mac Form 70)
- Individual Condominium Unit Appraisal Report (Freddie Mac Form 465)
- Exterior-Only Inspection Individual Condominium Unit Appraisal Report (Freddie Mac Form 466)
- Exterior-Only Inspection Residential Appraisal Report (Freddie Mac Form 2055)
We are currently working with technology vendors who build integrated system interfaces to the UCDP to implement these changes in June. To determine when your system will be updated with Freddie Mac Proprietary Findings, contact your UCDP integrated vendor directly for a timeline.

Complete PA system with a digital mixer and powered mains.
This package consists of a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 digital mixing console along with a pair of Electrovoice ELX115P powered PA speakers. A pair of standard speaker stands, 2 TRS cables, 4 mics and 4 XLR cables are included as well.
Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 Mixer
With a "footprint" of less than 2 square feet, the compact, 16-channel StudioLive 16.0.2 offers 8 mono input channels and 4 stereo channels and provides 12 XMAX Class A solid-state mic preamps. Packed with features and processing power, the 16.0.2 employs the same workflow and easy-to-use mixing-surface design as the bigger (16.4.2 and 24.4.2) StudioLive boards, and sounds every bit as good, with the same high-definition, wide-dynamic-range, digital converters. The 16.0.2 integrates a 16x16 FireWire interface and comes with Capture, Studio One Artist recording and production software, and Virtual StudioLive, bidirectional control software.
The 16.0.2's Fat Channel features compressors, limiters, gates, phase reverse, high-pass filters, and 3-band semi-parametric EQ. Two stereo, 32-bit floating-point effects processors deliver delay and reverb effects.
Moreover, a glance at the rear panel reveals that the 16.0.2 even offers something its two big brothers do not: MIDI In and Out. You can recall Scenes from a DAW using MIDI Program Changes, control the main output volume and effects level, and even mute effects between songs.
Two factors work against getting that Perfect Mix with an analog mixer. First, the Perfect Mix can be hard to reproduce a week, day, or hour after you perfect it. And second, a good mix should be dynamic: levels, effects, and EQ should be tailored to each song or segment of the show, service, or presentation. StudioLive solves this problem by letting you save all of your digital settings for quick setup and recall.
Electro-Voice ELX115P
Part of Electro-Voice's Live X series, the ELX115P Active Loudspeaker is designed with an Electro-Voice-engineered 15" woofer and 1.5" titanium compression driver. This self-contained powered system features components optimized for use with its integrated high-efficiency 1,000W Class-D amplifier. The ELX115P has a bi-amplified design with 24dB/octave filter slopes and transducer protection, a selectable 100Hz high-pass filter for use with an external subwoofer, and exceptional crossover performance. It is easy to connect with 2 XLR/TRS combo jacks, 1 stereo RCA, and an XLR Link output, and has intuitive amplifier controls.
Constructed of 9-ply, 15mm plywood with internal internally bracing, the ELX115P is sturdy yet completely portable. It has built-in side handles for to make setup, breakdown, and transport easier, can be pole mounted for stacking it on top of a acoustically matched Live X series sub, and has a 60 angled design so you can also use it as a floor monitor as well.
- 8 mono XLR mic and balanced ¼" line inputs
- 4 stereo line channel inputs, with XLR mic inputs on 9, 11, 13, and 15
- Balanced ¼" line inputs on 9-16
- Unbalanced RCA line inputs on 13-16
- 60 mm precision fader (4 stereo)
- 4 Auxiliary buses (pre/post-fader send)
- 2 Internal FX buses
- 2 stereo 32-bit digital effects processors with customizable reverb and delay
- Signal processing on all channels and buses
- One 31-band stereo graphic EQ (on main outputs only)
- 16-in/16-out FireWire recording interface (24-bit/44.1 kHz and 48 kHz)

The Central Bucks High School East teacher whose blog drew national attention for calling students "frightfully dim" and "utterly loathsome" was fired Tuesday for "poor performance."
Natalie Munroe, an 11th grade English teacher for six years, was dismissed by a 7-0 vote of the school board. The board followed the administration's recommendation, based on a year of class observations and evaluations that Munroe's lawyer has called "retaliatory."
"Ms. Munroe was, at best, a satisfactory teacher and was experiencing performance difficulties well before her blog became an issue," board President Paul Faulkner said, reading a prepared statement.
To keep her job, Munroe filed suit in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia on Friday, claiming the school district violated her constitutional right to free speech "by harassing and retaliating against her."
The alleged retaliation was for her blog posts labeling some students as "frightfully dim" and "utterly loathsome." In an October 2009 post, she wrote: "My students are out of control. They are rude, disengaged, lazy whiners."
The posts by "Natalie M" were meant to be anonymous and did not name the school, students or colleagues, but they included her photo.
Her dismissal "has nothing to do with free speech," Faulkner said, "but rather [the board's] obligation to have satisfactory teachers in its classrooms."
Her performance was monitored and observed the same as other teachers, he said.
Munroe's lawyer, Steven Rovner, said the board's action was expected.
"They brought her back to set her up to fail," Rovner said in a telephone interview. "That's why we filed the lawsuit against the district.
Munroe was suspended for the posts in February 2011, after word of them spread on Facebook and other social networks.
Officials reinstated her last summer, citing her legal right to work, but rejected her request for a transfer to another of the district's two high schools. And, in an unusual move, students were allowed to opt out of her classes, leaving her with abnormally small classes.
Starting in October, administrators conducted "retaliatory, unannounced observations of Munroe's classes," according to the suit. They "would subject Munroe's classroom efforts to ridiculous and overly critical evaluations, routinely concluding that lessons which Munroe had been teaching for years were unsatisfactory."
After four unsatisfactory classroom evaluations, Munroe was ordered to submit daily lesson plans using a time-consuming template designed by the district, according to the suit.
"The sole purpose of this requirement was to retaliate against Munroe for her protected free speech," the suit said. "Indeed, other teachers were not required to submit daily lesson plans."
Throughout the year, the district created a "hostile and harassing work environment" for Munroe, who was in her sixth year at the school and had tenure, according to the suit.
On June 1, she received her third unsatisfactory performance evaluation and was told of the administration's plans to recommend her termination at tonight's meeting, according to the suit.
Munroe, who has done limited blogging since last year's uproar, responded in a post, "In short, yes, I've been set up."
She wrote, "I worked hard every day this year to prepare my students for whatever lies before them, to meet the challenges that arose daily, and to perform my myriad duties at work with pride and dignity. Though it will surely be implied otherwise, I know the truth, my colleagues know the truth, my students and their parents know the truth. I stand by my work this year, and every year before."
Also in response, the Central Bucks Education Association filed a grievance with the district to protect Munroe's contractual rights, union President Keith Sinn said Monday. He declined to say whether Munroe had been singled out with the classroom observations and evaluations and daily lesson plans.
Munroe's suit asks that she keep her job, plus compensatory and punitive damages. It named the district, Superintendent N. Robert Laws and school Principal Abe Lucabaugh. Laws and , Lucabaugh could not be reached for comment by phone or email.

Burundian insurgents attacked three army bases early Friday morning. Fighting continued through the night and the dead in Burundi's streets were estimated to be as high as 89 this morning. The government and opposition told conflicting stories about who the dead were and how they died. Two days before the latest attacks, a U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee held a hearing on the situation in Burundi. KPFA's Ann Garrison has this report.

Is $20 million annually too much for public to pay to remember 9/11?
Eleven years ago tomorrow, we watched in disbelief as the World Trade Center towers collapsed, killing nearly 3,000 people. In the video above, you can watch One World Trade Center go up in their place.
Would the vast majority of Americans support some sort of taxpayer subsidy to operate a memorial to the thousands who lost their lives in New York City on 9/11? Absolutely.
But how would they feel if they knew the price tag could be $20 million annually? That's the question we're left to ponder by an Associated Press story on the status of the National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum.
The article points out that the memorial is expected to have an annual operating budget of $60 million, but that officials with the foundation that runs it and some elected officials — notably Govs. Andrew Cuomo and Chris Christie — are asking the American public to pick up as much as a third of the tab. To put that figure in perspective, the article notes that the National Park Service budgets for Gettysburg and Pearl Harbor this year are $8.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively.
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., stepped forward earlier this year to block a bill that would have authorized the $20 million annual appropriation, demanding that sponsors find commensurate cuts in the federal budget to pay for the project.
A POLITICO story from February pointed out that the federal government contributes $50 million annually to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
