Warning regarding ThermoWorks products at Amazon, eBay and other sites More info
The lowest internet prices for ThermoWorks products are available at thermoworks.com and through special offers received by subscribers to ThermoWorks emails.
Amazon, eBay, walmart.com, sears.com and their sellers are NOT Authorized Dealers. There are unscrupulous sellers at those sites who have purchased ThermoWorks products at retail prices and are then re-selling them at significantly elevated prices, sometimes 2 to 4 times the Authorized List Price. After receiving numerous complaints from customers who were victimized by those listings, we felt it was important to do what we could to warn unsuspecting consumers.
Furthermore, we have received a growing number of complaints that such sellers are offering counterfeit, copycat, stolen units, and "Open-Box" units as authentic NEW ThermoWorks products. Thus, from January 1st of 2016, technical support and warranty coverage are only available on ThermoWorks products that are purchased direct from ThermoWorks or from ThermoWorks' Authorized Dealers. In this way we know the consumer is fully protected and we can protect our reputation for treating customers fairly. Extended Info

WICHITA — Abortion opponents have delivered a rezoning petition with about 14,000 signatures to the Wichita City Council in a move to block the opening of a clinic at the building once owned by slain abortion provider George Tiller.
Kansans for Life plans to add hundreds more signatures and present them to the local zoning commission later this month. Petition organizer David Gittrich says residents don't want an abortion clinic in the neighborhood.
The council asked staff to research the issue.
The abortion rights group Trust Women bought the building and plans to offer reproductive health care services, including abortions, at the site.
Their attorney, Robert Eye, said there is no legal basis that will justify rezoning the land. He said rezoning motivated by a political purpose is improper.

Tabloid editor Brooks says "vindicated" by hacking acquittal
LONDON - Former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks said Thursday she is innocent of phone hacking and other crimes and feels vindicated by a jury's unanimous decision to acquit her.
The ex-tabloid editor made her first public statement since being cleared after an eight-month trial on charges of conspiring to hack phones, bribe officials and obstruct police.
Standing outside her London home beside her husband Charles - who was also acquitted - Brooks said the last few years "have been tough."
"It has been a time of reflection for me," she said. "I have learned some valuable lessons and hopefully I am the wiser for it.
"I am innocent of the crimes that I was charged with and I feel vindicated by the unanimous verdicts."
Brooks, 46, said she would offer support to former colleagues who still face trial.
Dozens of journalists have been arrested since the revelation that Rupert Murdoch's now-shuttered News of the World tabloid eavesdropped on the voicemails of thousands of people in a law-breaking quest for scoops.
Brooks has said she was unaware of phone hacking while she was editor of the tabloid between 2000 and 2003.
Brooks, her husband and four of her former employees were acquitted of wrongdoing on Tuesday. But ex-News of the World editor Andy Coulson - Brooks' sometime deputy and former lover - was convicted of conspiring with other staff to hack phones.
He faces up to two years in jail when he is sentenced next week.
The hacking scandal sent tremors through the top of British politics. Brooks is a friend and neighbor of Prime Minister David Cameron, and Coulson was his director of communications for years.
The scandal also shook Murdoch's media giant News Corp., which has spent more than $500 million in legal settlements and other hacking-related costs.

Ireland has always held an otherworldly mystique for outsiders. When you're experiencing the dreamlike beauty of the valleys that rise skyward to mist-covered hills or drop off at craggy shores, those age-old tales of fairies, leprechauns and giants don't seem so far-fetched. The Irish themselves may consider such folklore as best left to bedtime stories and souvenir shops, but the traditions of their pagan ancestors still persist in countless Christian rituals celebrated by an increasingly secular population.
It all makes perfect sense once you get a personal feel for Irish spirituality, which blurs the transition between prehistory and the present day. The figure who best represents that indistinct dividing line is familiar to anyone who's worn a shamrock or raised a pint of green beer on March 17 — a Romano-Briton lad by the name of Patricius, better known today as St. Patrick.
St. Patrick was captured by Irish marauders at the age of 16 from his home on the west coast of what is now Great Britain. He spent six years in Ireland as a slave, forced into work as a shepherd. After becoming acquainted with local language and religion, he managed to escape but returned to Ireland around 430 AD as a bishop and missionary with the goal of converting the Irish to Christianity.
A key place to explore the fact and fiction about the legendary saint's life and works is the St. Patrick Centre, in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland. It's only one of over a dozen important sites along St. Patrick's Trail, a 147-kilometre self-driving tour that loops from the Catholic and Protestant religious centre of Armagh, down to the Downpatrick coast and up to Belfast.
St. Patrick is said to have chased away the gods that snaked through every corner of pagan Irish life. (There never were any real snakes). But his real accomplishment was to help found a unique form of Christianity that absorbed rather than replaced paganism. The practice of water worship, for example, no doubt influences the ceremonial Blessing of the Bay done each August in Galway and the claim of miraculous cures and healing at Ireland's numerous "holy wells."
In Kildare, the centre of veneration of St. Brigid, there is a holy well dedicated to the Patroness of Ireland that is renowned for its healing properties. It also happens to be the place where ancient Celts worshipped the spring goddess, Brigid, on the first day of February — St. Brigid's feast day.
Likewise, more holy wells are attributed to St. Patrick than he could have visited, and the pilgrimage up Croagh Patrick mountain, near Westport, County Mayo, was an Irish rite of passage long before the saint allegedly fasted atop it for 40 days. Prior to his time, women would climb up and sleep at the summit during the autumn harvest festival to enhance their fertility.
Today, one million people come from far and wide to visit the mountain every year, and many make the arduous climb up its 750-metre slope, particularly on the last Sunday in July. Some Catholic believers attempt to do so barefoot or on their knees as a form of penance. From the summit, the natural splendour of the surrounding countryside and sea rewards hardy climbers and a modern chapel on the site offers mass and confessional services.
Despite or perhaps because of declining church attendance and religious affiliation in Ireland, religious-themed festivals have a strong pull on the Irish psyche, bringing together the devout and the lapsed alike to listen to traditional music, eat traditional foods and reconnect with the island's heritage.
Each midsummer, rural areas across Ireland light up on June 23, the eve of St. John the Baptist's feast day. To locals, it's "Bonfire Night," named for the great blazes sparked in the saint's honour at sunset and kept burning throughout the night — an event that rekindles pagan summer solstice celebrations.
Those seeking a less boisterous experience could visit Ireland's historic monasteries and convents, where the most devoted Christians opted to cloister themselves from society. Perhaps the most stunning example is found on the remote island of Skellig Michael, where you'll find a well-preserved complex of primitive stone "beehive" huts built and inhabited for 600 years by Irish monks. For those who have the time to make the boat trip and climb its stone stairs, it's well worth the effort.
Finally, travellers with an interest in Catholic faith and learning may want to consider attending the 50th International Eucharistic Congress, in Dublin from June 10–17. The event is expected to attract 175,000 people, and will host talks by church officials, leaders of Catholic lay organizations and many others.

The intrusion of moisture from the outside the building, probably from rain penetration or rising damp leads to the presence of unwanted humidity in the room. The moisture could also be as a result of condensation of moisture within the house structure. This makes the place to be damp and uncomfortable to live in. This could also lead to damages to the building. It enhances the growth of fungi like moulds in the wood or makes the structure to rot. Paints and wallpapers are damaged. It also attracts pests like termites in your building. These are the damages it brings to the interior not to mention the exterior problems like the appearance of salt like stains on the walls.
Damp proofing Westlinton helps in resistance of any unwanted moisture to the house. TDB Cumbria LTD will help you achieve this. We are experts in services related to damp proofing. We take pride in being among the best damp proofing Westlinton service providers with our team of well trained and experienced experts. We aim at helping our client with all types of damp which include salt damp, mould or rot, rising and lateral damp just to mention a few. We also go an extra mile to help in preventing this problem from coming back. Our services include:
This service involves the application of wallpaper especially on a stonework wall which is meant to resist dampness caused by moisture rising through the wall structure by the capillary process. It is therefore ideal for proofing your house against rising damp.
It is done by applying a polythene sheet under concrete lump preventing it from dampness caused by the capillary.
This is achieved by sticking of grout material in the building structure. The aim is to fill any gaps that could be allowing penetration of moisture from outside.
This is among the most effective methods of preventing moisture from getting to the house. We add some additives into the concrete which in return makes the concrete impermeable and water cannot pass through unless it is under hydraulic pressure.
The cavity is made by separating the interior and the exterior walls by a cavity or gap so that moisture from the outside cannot reach the interior wall thus it will not reach inside the house structure.
We also provide other solutions which include:
These are just a few of the service that we provide in management and prevention of dampness conditions. If you are in need of damp proofing Westlinton, do not hesitate to contact TDB Cumbria LTD. Damp proofing is vital as it is also a big step in preventing health hazards that could come from damp. Get your quote today and get started.

DENVER Gov. John Hickenlooper defended his legal crackdown on cities that ban hydraulic fracturing Monday during a debate with a Front Range county commissioner.
The debate at Denver Universitys law school was a rare example of an unfriendly reception for the popular governor.
Hecklers interrupted him three times.
Boulder County Commissioner Elise Jones his opponent in the debate lectured him for suing the city of Longmont after voters there opted to ban fracking inside city limits.
I gotta tell you, governor. Im new to this public office stuff, but Im pretty sure that suing your constituents isnt a good public outreach strategy, Jones said.
More than 96 percent of Colorados natural-gas and oil wells depend on hydraulic fracturing the injection of high-pressure water, sand and chemicals to break rock formations Hickenlooper said, so banning fracking is tantamount to banning all drilling.
To ban fracking essentially denies someone access to what they paid money for, Hickenlooper said. Someone owns those mineral rights.
Hickenlooper also fended off questions from the debates moderator, DU professor K.K. DuVivier, who suggested the gas and oil industry has enjoyed a privileged positions under the law compared with renewable-energy firms.
The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission was set up decades ago to prop up the price of oil by making sure drillers didnt extract it all at once and flood the market, DuVivier said. She asked Hickenlooper if the time had come for the government to stop supporting the hydrocarbon industry in favor of renewable energy.
The governor said he thinks wind, solar and geothermal power do deserve public subsidies, and he noted that fracking and horizontal drilling technologies were created with billions of dollars in federal assistance. But he defended natural gas as the bridge fuel that will power the country for years while the use of renewable energy grows.
Natural gas is good for society, not just private companies, he said.
Look at the clean air that were getting out of replacing coal plants with natural-gas plants. ... This is a dramatic public good, Hickenlooper said.
A bill in the state House would change the COGCCs mission to emphasize environmental protection over the development of natural gas and oil. Hickenlooper did not explicitly say he would veto it if it passes the Legislature, but he did criticize it.
Changing the mission of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission thats something you dont do lightly, he said.
The exchange briefly touched on the use of water in fracking.
Farmers in Boulder County are being outbid for water by energy companies, Jones said, and the industry is risking Colorados agricultural heritage.
We need to be a heck of a lot more thoughtful about this, she said.
Hickenlooper replied that bluegrass lawns in Denver and Boulder consume more water than the fracking business.
A group called Colorado Extraction Resistance invited people on Facebook to Shut Down the Fake Fracking Debate. The group contends that Jones, a former director of the Colorado Environmental Coalition, is also pro-fracking because she does not want to completely ban the process everywhere in Colorado.
The hecklers were escorted from the room by police. Its unclear if they were associated with the Colorado Extraction Resistance, but at least one of them targeted both Hickenlooper and Jones.
Theres no safe way to regulate fracking! yelled the first heckler, who interrupted the governors opening remarks. Youre a liar who works on behalf of the oil and gas industry. Im requesting you both immediately resign because youre forcing communities across our state to accept the poison forced on us by the oil and gas industry.
Jones, however, said Colorado towns should be able to decide how to regulate industry inside their city limits.
For the state to suggest that we shouldnt play that role is really, really hard for us to swallow, Jones said.

Achievement Gap
The persistent difference in academic performance between different ethnic and racial groups, income levels, gender, and special student groups.
The display allows you to see the comparison of test results between demographic groups. The default screen view shows a summary of all grades and low income/non-low income comparison. You can select a subject by clicking on English Language Arts (ELA) or Math. You can select a specific grade by clicking on the Summary arrow, then click on the grade you want to view. You can also choose demographic groups for comparison by clicking on the box of your choice among the Compare options. You may need to scroll down to see all of the displays. If a selected group has fewer than 10 students, no comparison data will be shown.
Scroll over any of the bars on the graph to see the exact performance percentages. An N/A means that no comparison data is available for that specific subgroup.
The IAR assessment measures student achievement relative to the New Illinois Learning Standards. An achievement gap on a test like the IAR is evident when one group of students outperforms another group, and the average scores indicate a significant difference between the groups that persists over time. If a subgroup has fewer than 10 students, no comparison data will be shown. This is done to protect student privacy.
Schools and districts that are narrowing achievement gaps share four key characteristics.
Focus – clear and consistent goals, strategies, and leadership
Rigorous curriculum – clearly defined, high expectations for student learning
High quality teaching
Necessary and frequent interventions to improve students' learning

During 2015, euronews will have a sister channel in Africa. In partnership with the national television channel of the Republic of the Congo, euronews will bring to Africa its unique know-how as a multi-lingual and multi-cultural news channel, broadcasting around the clock.
Starting with English and French, and then adding other languages widely-spoken on the continent, Africanews aims to become the first Pan-African rolling news channel. The headquarters will be in Congo Brazzaville and regional offices will be set up across the continent.
Africanews will adhere to the same editorial charter as euronews, guaranteeing its independence. The two networks will share their news, creating a synergy that will give Africa its rightful place in the world of news and give the world the latest news from the continent.
Michael Peters, CEO of Euronews S.A., and Jean Obambi, Managing Director of Télé Congo, signed on Saturday 25 January 2014 in Congo Brazzaville a cooperation agreement for the launch of a Pan-African news channel to be known as Africanews.
Under the auspices of the President of the Republic of the Congo, Mr. Denis Sassou Nguesso, they formalised the partnership that will lead to the launch of a bilingual news channel in French and English, to be followed by other major languages of the continent (Portuguese, Arabic, Swahili, etc.). The headquarters will be in Brazzaville and regional offices will be set up across the continent.
euronews, the top news channel in Europe, has developed a unique know-how in broadcasting. The channel produces 13 different language versions, 24/7. Its programmes are created by a newsroom of more than 400 journalists of 30 nationalities, and reach 400 million households in 155 countries.Top ↑
About Africanews
What will Africanews be like?
Africanews will produce news content focused on Pan-African news, for its television channel and related products, both linear and non linear (see below: Media Presence).
Africanews will have a team of 40 professionaljournalists and technicians based in Brazzaville, covering sub-Saharan news thanks to its regional offices and a vast pool of correspondents around the continent.
As soon as the channel begins broadcasting, flagship programmes and special reports will help give Africanews its truly African identity.
Africanews will freely choose, use and adapt the international news content produced by euronews to create programmes for its own viewers. In the same way, euronews will be able to pick up productions from its sister channel in Africa to round out the programmes it broadcasts around the world. Thanks to this synergy, Africa will benefit from wider international exposure as it becomes a key feature in the euronews editorial line-up.
In keeping with the euronews model, Africanews will be available from the start in both French and English. The goal is to then expand to include the other widely-spoken languages in Africa (Portuguese, Arabic, Swahili, etc.), making it accessible to the largest number of African viewers.
The news teams at Africanews and at euronews in Europe will adhere to the same editorial charter.
For all of its news teams, euronews is the absolute guarantor of editorial independence and is responsible for the hiring of journalists; it continually monitors full compliance with the editorial charter.Top ↑
The project
Africa in the world
Factual reporting
Africanews is the first Pan-African multilingual media – produced in Africa, by and for Africans – created on an equal footing with Euronews, a top international media in the past 20 years.
Sharing the same editorial values in terms of freedom of the press and factual reporting, the two channels bring their knowledge and know-how together to serve the new "media frontier" which is Africa. Africanews and Euronews both produce news around the clock and pool their coverage, of Africa and of the world, respectively.
The two media also have in common a public service mission and organisational model: they are a free association of national channels seeking to transcend localism or special interests.
Editorial independenceDiversity of views
Africanews, a 100% subsidiary of Euronews S.A., adheres to the same editorial charter as its European parent channel. The charter is based on the fundamental principles of freedom of expression and communication and editorial independence limited only by respect for the facts.
The shared charter stipulates, among other things: "Programme content must be produced without pressure from any national or international institution, government, political party or political or economic pressure group. This obligation of independence, contained in the channel's internal regulations, dictates the conduct of all those participating in the process of preparing editorial content, from news-gathering to broadcasting."
Like TV Congo, any new partner wishing to join the Africanews project will be required to sign and accept the charter in its entirety.
[see editorial chart here].
Backed by Euronews' credibility, the editorial line of Africanews fully respects the shared charter, to the letter. As the legally liable entity, Euronews guarantees the content of all programmes broadcast by Africanews.
Journalistic DNAInnovation and openness
Euronews has unique know-how in producing news, based on an unrivalled model of cultural pluralism. For the past 20 years, Euronews has proven its ability to create and develop top-quality multilingual news, with all the requisite editorial rigour and supported by its shareholders from various nations, including 21 public broadcasters, members of the EBU.
Euronews, the number one news channel in Europe, currently broadcasts in 13 different languages, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Its programmes, produced by a newsroom with more than 400 journalists of 30 nationalities, reach 400 million households in 155 countries.
Africanews, unlike other existing channels on the African continent, is modelled on the world's only independent news media which has built its success and credibility on reliable information which is not, and shall never be, the expression of a single viewpoint, party or nation.
Africanews already benefits from the multilingual know-how (English and French to begin with) as well as the technical expertise and editorial independence of its partner. Thanks to the cooperation agreement signed with TV Congo, its headquarters are based in the heart of Africa, in Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of the Congo. Other agreements, to set up regional offices and different language versions, are under discussion. The network of correspondents covers the entire continent.
The hiring and training of the Africanews teams, based in Africa and the world, is entirely handled by experts at Euronews, the parent company of Africanews. This "transplant" of Euronews' professional DNA is the best guarantee of success and independence for the new Pan-African news media.Top ↑
Business Model
What is the business model for Africanews?
Africanews will be based on a model financed by advertising. It will then be able to develop by adding new public and private partners, in particular for the set-up of its regional offices around Africa and for adding new languages.
Advertising opportunities on Africanews will enable African and international advertisers to reach the African audience via a complete communication package: advertisements spread across the 24-hour schedule will cover all time zones and all formats including Africanews.com and then mobile applications, along with opportunities for sponsorship of TV and key online programmes (business, special reports, weather…) or linked to business and cultural events covered by the Africanews team of journalists.Top ↑
Media Presence
Will Africanews be available in other media formats?
The content of Africanews will benefit from the extensive know-how of euronews, making it as widely and easily accessible as possible for all types of users.
Starting with linear formats, offering TV broadcasts 24/7, live streaming of the channel on the internet, and then with live mobile applications and perhaps digital radio programmes.
The non-linear formats will start right away with the website www.africanews.com and then gradually move into specific mobile applications, following the latest trends in media consumption on the continent. For example, euronews, at the cutting edge of mobile applications, has been selected by Nokia to be included in its new operating system, S40, soon to be released in Africa, one of the most dynamic markets for mobile phones.
Africanews will be accessible to a large number of people on the continent thanks to rebroadcasts by local partners and operators, with the support and expertise of euronews' international teams.Top ↑
Words from Michael Peters, CEO
Michael Peters, CEO of euronews
At the signing of the agreement for Africanews, Michael Peters stated:
"Twenty 20 years after the launch of euronews, we are breaking new ground in the world of news. Since 1993, euronews has covered global news from a European perspective, speaking to viewers in their language. The company's multinational shareholder base gives the channel the independence and the means to inform viewers without promoting any particular viewpoint. Its global success in terms of viewer numbers is proof of the channel's professionalism and its ability to integrate diversity. euronews has the experience, the reputation and the resources necessary to convey this model which respects the values and value of different cultures. It is precisely this model of tolerance in a world of diversity that we hope to share with Africa, via Africanews, the first independent and multilingual news channel on the continent. Africanews is different from existing channels because it aims to give Africa its rightful place in the world of news and to give the world the latest news from the continent which is itself a news market, in the same way and at the same level as other regions of the world. Our strategic and highly ambitious project will not be a mere African "window" made by euronews, as most international news channels do, but rather a full-fledged Pan-African network, with editorial choices made by Africans for an African audience. To develop this project, we were lucky to have the help of Stephen Smith, a recognized specialist on Africa. Stephen, former Africa Editor for two French daily newspapers Libération then Le Monde, is providing advice and recommendations for the editorial and strategic aspects of Africanews. The public television channel Télé Congo decided to join us in this adventure. Our teams will now begin the preliminary studies and organisational work to be ready to launch Africanews in 2015. We take great pride in announcing this emblematic cooperation project and we are eager to launch this new player on the world media scene," he added.

What Are Big 12 Digital System Requirements?

If your connection to the Internet is slower than a DSL connection you will may not be able to watch Big 12 Digital media, but you may be able to utilize audio only broadcasts. A DSL, cable modem or other high speed connection is required for viewing.
In addition to having a high-speed Internet connection, your computer should meet or exceed the following recommended system requirements:
Minimum Windows Requirements
A Pentium III 1GHz or higher or equivalent AMD processor with a minimum of 512MB of memory.
One of the following operating systems: Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP Service Pack 2 as well as Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 or above, or Firefox 3 or above:
- IE: http://www.microsoft.com/ie
- Firefox: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
- Macromedia Flash Player: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/
- Microsoft Silverlight: http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/resources/install.aspx
Internet connection bandwidth: 750 kbps (DSL/Cable or higher) minimum, or higher recommended.
Free hard disk space: 300 MB
Video adapter and monitor: Super VGA (1024x768) or higher.
Minimum Mac Requirements

Free hard disk space: 300 MB
Video adapter and monitor: Super VGA (1024x768) or higher.
Audio Capability
In order to hear the audio components of our films and animations, your computer must be equipped with a 16-bit or better sound card and speakers
Some types of firewalls may prevent viewing live events on Big 12 Digital. Please consult the Firewall manufacturer or Documentation for specific instructions on how to configure your firewall to allow multicast information through.
The video doesn't look very good:
We recommend increasing your buffer time. This will make the initial download slower, but will make the streaming video run smoothly once it has started. While increasing your buffer time, you might also want to try adjusting the video acceleration to halfway, instead of full.
To find these options, open the program Windows Media Player and press the ALT button on your keyboard. You will then see a small options menu open. Select "Tools," and then go to "Options."
Once you are in "Options," look for the "Performance" tab. This is where you will find both the buffer length, and video acceleration. Try setting the buffer length to 20 seconds, applying the options, and then refresh your stream.
Why can I access the content at home but not while at work, a hotel, school, etc.?
Your work, school, or the hotel could have network settings which either restricts the access to some content or to content which requires large amounts of bandwidth to access. You would need to discuss these restrictions with the network administrator for them to allow you access. Also, if you are using a computer that does not allow you administrator rights there could be restrictions on the type of content you are allowed to access such as live multicast video, you would also need to talk to the computer administrator to allow your profile access to such content.
I have high-speed wireless internet, but still seem to be having buffering problems?
While wireless internet can provide convenience for many lower bandwidth internet applications, it is not optimal for the higher speeds required for live video streaming. Over a wireless router you can experience large amount of bandwidth fluctuation from other computers on your network and also from external devices which can interfere with the wireless signal. If you are experiencing poor video quality or frequent buffering, we recommend connecting directly to the router or modem to provide higher quality and more consistent signal. Click the links below to test your bandwidth.
I cannot view the content.
There may be an error with your browser. Try closing the browser, reopening it, and accessing it again.
Your Internet Service Provider may be experiencing problems with their service. If you cannot view other pages, and if the problem persists, you should contact your Internet Service Provider.
If you experience any further problems, please contact Customer Service here

You will have to restart your computer for the change to take effect.

Stadion Money Management, an asset manager based in Watkinsville, Ga., announced Tuesday that it is offering ERISA 3(38) fiduciary management on its target-date funds.
When plan sponsors choose the TDFs as the qualified default investment option in their plans, Stadion can serve as the fiduciary. The company has already provided such status in its separately managed accounts since 2002.
Stadion added ERISA 3(38) fiduciary status to its TDFs to provide a "parity of service," Tim McCabe, senior vice president of sales and service, and head of the company's retirement offerings, told AdvisorOne on Thursday. The firm's 100,000 managed account clients already had access to that kind of fiduciary protection. "It's not the next evolution of the product. It's the same product but in a different wrapper," he added.
"Nobody else was offering these products," McCabe (right) said, so the firm conferred with its outside counsel, Fred Reish, to determine whether they could. "All that was required was for the sponsor to sign a document to appoint us as the fiduciary," he said.
"We're the first in the pool, but I don't think we'll be the last," he said. "As new regulations come out and advisors are prohibited from offering traditional services, other companies are going to step up."
Plan sponsor advisors who have been fettered by new or upcoming regulations have found they've had to change their value proposition and are looking for products that have fiduciary protections built in, he said.
Clearly there is a demand for products with fiduciary protections. McCabe said that last year his firm added $900 million in retirement assets with 3(38) protection, either in TDFs or managed accounts. "The marketplace wants these products, and regulations will cause more impetus for them," he said.
Assets in a 401(k) don't belong to the participant until they take them out of the plan, McCabe said. "Sponsors have a responsibility for making sure participants make good decisions and advisors make sure the plan has good investments."
Making the default investment in a plan a product with fiduciary protection helps both participants and sponsors. McCabe said 80% of their participants stay in the investment they are defaulted into. When that's an age-appropriate account like a target-date or risk-based fund, participants are "going to get a better return over time and fiduciary protection gives sponsors and advisors peace of mind," he added.
McCabe noted that in not everyone opts for the 3(38) TDF, foregoing fiduciary protection, but he said, "In many cases, those are more sophisticated investors. For those who aren't, we have an 80%, 90%, sometimes 100% take rate" on the 3(38) TDFs. "Most participants aren't comfortable making those decisions."
Stadion started offering risk-based and target-date CITs two years ago with an emphasis on tactical management. "We can reduce equity exposure in difficult markets and increase it when markets are good," he said. "This gets participants to the same place, but with less volatility."

Call Girls in Porvorim
A call girl or female escort is a sex worker who (unlike a street walker) does not display her profession to the general public; nor does she usually work in an institution like a brothel, although she may be employed by an escort agency. The client must make an appointment, usually by calling a telephone number. Call Girls in Porvorim often advertise their services in small ads in magazines and via the Internet, although an intermediary advertiser, such as an escort agency, may be involved in promoting escorts, while, less often, some may be handled by a pimp. Call girls may work either incall, where the client comes to them, or outcall, where they go to the client.

Girlfriend Experience
In some instances a person who provides a Girlfriend Experience is also recognized and titled an "indoor prostitute". As the definition of what that type of service entitles, unlike a "street prostitute" an "indoor prostitute" provides a type of interaction that involves conversation, affection and mutual sexual pleasure. "Indoor prostitution" also includes: massage parlors and saunas, brothels, strip clubs, and escort prostitution. No matter the differences, this type of interaction still lasts between the limits of the transaction. Contrary to "street prostitution" indoor prostitution is less likely to receive complaints from bystanders because from the outside this experience seems to be a traditional relationship of Call Girls in Porvorim. Because this level of prostitution is considered to be high class, most relationships are made online as opposed to the traditional idea of prostitution where the client would meet the prostitute on the streets. The cost of these services depends on the prostitute as well as the acts that are performed. The GFE typically starts with dinner at a nice restaurant followed by making out on the sofa back at the prostitute's home and ends with cuddling and consensual sex which gives the feeling of a relationship. While it used to be the norm for legal prostitutes to never kiss on the mouth, the popularity of the GFE has changed the business with brothels like Dennis Hof's Love Ranch South and Sheri's Ranch advertising themselves as "GFE" Establishments.
Clients or hobbyists
The term "client" is defined as being a prostitute's customer. Because most of the beginning interaction between the client and the prostitute is done online, client call themselves "hobbyists" who are looking for "Call Girls in Porvorim", in order to not seem suspicious over the internet. In a GFE situation the client would pay for time spent with the call girl meaning: social interaction, dating, or sexual acts. Clients could come from all different backgrounds (white-collar, blue collar, different races, different ages) therefore there is not a "typical" type of client using the GFE service. Many clients emerge through the need for a feeling of closeness without the commitment of a relationship. To a certain extent it eliminates the feeling of guilt or fear of "addiction" to a relationship.
Sex Industry
The sex industry (also called the sex trade) consists of businesses which either directly or indirectly provide sex-related products and services or adult entertainment by Call Girls in Porvorim. The industry includes activities involving direct provision of sex-related services, such as prostitution, and sex-related pastimes, such as pornography, sex-oriented men's magazines, sex movies, sex toys and fetish and BDSM paraphernalia. Sex channels for television and pre-paid sex movies for on demand, are part of the sex industry, as are adult movie theaters, sex shops, and strip clubs.
Prostitution is a main component of the sex industry, and may take place in a brothel, at a facility provided by the prostitute, at a client's hotel room, in a parked car, or on the street. Often this is arranged through a pimp or an escort agency. Prostitution involves a prostitute or Call Girls in Porvorim providing direct sexual services to a client. In some cases the prostitute is at liberty to determine whether she or he will engage in a particular type of sexual activity, but forced prostitution and sexual slavery does exist in some places around the world.
The legality of prostitution and associated activities (soliciting, brothels, procuring) varies by jurisdiction. And yet even where it is illegal there is usually a thriving underground business because of high demand and the booming revenue that can be made by pimps, brothel owners, escort agencies, and traffickers.
The premises where people come to engage in sexual activity with a prostitute is a brothel, though for legal or cultural reasons such premises may describe themselves as massage parlors, bars, strip clubs or by some other description. Call Girls in Porvorim is considered safer than street prostitution.
Prostitution and the operation of brothels is legal in some countries, but illegal in others. Even in countries where prostitution and brothels are legal, brothels may be subject to many and varied restrictions. Forced prostitution is usually illegal as is prostitution by or with minors, though the age may vary. Some countries prohibit particular sex acts. In some countries, brothels are subject to strict planning restrictions and in some cases are confined to designated red-light districts. Some countries prohibit or regulate how brothels advertise their services, or they may prohibit the sale or consumption of alcohol on the premises. In some countries where operating a brothel is legal, some brothel operators may chose to operate illegally.
Some men and women may travel away from their home to engage with local prostitutes, in a practice called sex tourism, though the destination pattern tends to differ between them.[citation needed] Male sex tourism can create or augment demand for sex services in the host countries, while female sex tourism tends not to use existing sex facilities.[citation needed] Like tourism in general, sex tourism can make a significant contribution to local economies, especially in popular urban centers. Sex tourism may arise as a result of stringent anti-prostitution laws in a tourist's home country, but can create social problems in the host country.

So, I'm still trying to get my PS3 network stuff set up... It's not as in-your-lazy-idiot-face obvious to work with as XBL, but seems functional enough for free. I just picked up Borderlands today -- Soon as I can get my bluetooth setup figured out I'll probably be out and about online shooting at things.
Look me up, PS3'ers!

Expanding Your Development and Investment Perspective......Connect with Rock County
(Janesville, WI) By Jim Leute, Gazette
Television commercials touting a warmer business climate in Wisconsin are expected to complement local marketing initiatives designed to attract out-of-state businesses to Rock County.
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation began airing the TV ads today in the Chicago; Rockford, Ill.; and Minneapolis-St. Paul markets.
In addition, the ads will air on "Fox & Friends" on FOX News, "Mad Money" with Jim Kramer on CNBC, "The O'Reilly Factor" on FOX News and "Anderson Cooper 360" on CNN.
The eight-week campaign features testimonials from some of the state's most respected businesses and highlights Wisconsin's overall business climate and its workforce.
Ryan Murray, the organization's deputy secretary, said the television campaign—estimated to reach 23 million viewers—is a first for Wisconsin.
When the organization was founded in 2012, it was charged with telling Wisconsin's business story and creating a marketing division to promote economic assets, he said.
In its first year, the business group spent $1.5 million on marketing, and 80 percent of that was spent on building the "In Wisconsin" brand within the state.
This year, the marketing budget is $5.75 million, about $2 million of which will be spent on TV commercials, targeted online advertising, ads in national business publications and marketing support for the group's other divisions.
Kelly Lietz, the group's vice president of marketing, said 75 percent of the advertising budget will be directed out of state, and it will leverage the "In Wisconsin" brand.
The current TV ad campaign will eat up $537,000 of that budget, Lietz said.
Lietz and Murray said the campaign would complement other, more targeted advertising to specific industry sectors.
"A CEO of a company in Chicago isn't go to say 'I saw that ad on TV and therefore I'm moving my company to Wisconsin,'" Murray said. "The ads will go to the totality of what a person knows about Wisconsin."
Unlike many other states' campaigns, the ads are not negative, Murray said. They focus only on what's going on in Wisconsin.
"Our primary purpose is not poaching companies, in fact, we don't like to use that word," Murray said. "If a company isn't interested in relocating to Wisconsin, it's possible that they're interested in giving some work to our suppliers in Wisconsin.
"If we go around attacking all these states where these companies live, it won't present the best image of Wisconsin, and it could hurt our suppliers here."
Lietz said the ad platforms will all direct viewers to one of two calls to action: a visit to the agency's website or a call to a toll-free hotline. The system, he said, is set up to measure responses and track outcomes.
"A lot of people might ask how many jobs this is going to create," Lietz said. "This marketing isn't designed to directly produce jobs.
"It's designed to fill the economic development pipeline."
While metrics are in place to measure the results of the advertising expenditures, direct job creation is not one of them, Murray added.
"It's not about hitting home runs," he said. "It's about getting at bats, and the more at bats we get, the more home runs we're going to hit."
James Otterstein, Rock County's economic development manager, said the Rock County Development Alliance has been marketing the community outside of Wisconsin for some time but much more aggressively since July 2012, when it launched its Rock County Ready campaign.
The campaign emphasized the "ready" aspects of Rock County's economic development efforts. Ads promoting Rock County were wrapped around downtown Chicago buses, on billboards and in direct mailings.
Otterstein said the goal was similar to the one the state is now undertaking: Get the attention of business decision makers and tickle them with the opportunities in Rock County and Wisconsin.
"We continue to channel our resources to specific audiences," Otterstein said. "We reach the Chicagoland market through direct mail, a consistent presence in targeted trade publications, email blasts and direct engagement opportunities wherever and whenever possible."
Otterstein said the state's campaign is a welcome addition to the economic development toolbox, both at the state and local levels.
"The more exposure or splash you have often results in better penetration and recall," he said. "Without question, the amount of time and resources we have spent continue to pay dividends on the relationship front."

Malaria remains a huge problem in much of the world, but over the past decade the number of people getting sick and dying from the disease has gone down dramatically.
Health workers attribute much of this progress to the widespread use of artemisinin-based drugs. The problem now is that resistance to these drugs is starting to develop in Southeast Asia.
One place where this resistance was first found is along the border between Thailand and Myanmar, also known as Burma.
At the small Whampa health clinic on the Thai side of the Moi River, Dr. Aun Pyae Phyo is treating a 5-year-old Burmese boy with severe malaria. The boy had been carried to the clinic three days earlier.
"On that day, he couldn't even move his limbs," the doctor says of the boy. "So we need to start intravenous anti-malarial drugs, and we also need to transfuse him with blood."
If the boy's mother had waited even a day longer to come to the clinic, the doctor says, the child probably would have died. But the boy responded well to an initial dose of intravenous artemisinin drugs. The staff followed that with a three-day regimen of pills including artemisinin.
This is what these drugs have done so well around the world — a child is on the verge of death, and a quick course of artemisinin brings him back to health.
But over the past couple of years, doctors have started to see that some cases of malaria don't respond in the same way to these powerful anti-malarial medications.
"If the parasite strain inside that kid turned out to be resistant," Dr. Aun Pyae Phyo says shaking his head, "the scenario would turn out to be quite disastrous."
He says the boy's first day at the clinic was critical. If the parasite hadn't responded to the initial treatment and had continued to multiply in the boy's body, the infection could have been fatal.
So far, the cracks in artemisinin's armor are minor. Sometimes the drugs just take longer to work. But it's clear that the malaria parasite is evolving, shifting, learning how to outwit the drugs that were designed to kill it.
Francois Nosten, the head of the Shoklo Malaria Research Unit, which runs this clinic on the Thai-Burma border, says drug-resistant malaria is still the exception rather than the rule here, but it's a major concern.
"Clearly it's very worrying," Nosten says. "These drugs have been very effective."
If artemisinins aren't part of the medical staff's arsenal at this clinic, there are few other options.
Malaria has developed resistance to most of the other major drugs thrown at it. Chloroquine and Fansidar, which were once leading malaria treatments, are now useless against the parasite in many parts of the world. The expectation among researchers is that this will also happen eventually with artemisinins.
Some new drugs are being developed, but they probably won't be available for at least five years.
Nosten says public health officials should use this moment, while artemisinins are still mostly effective, to launch an all-out "war" against malaria. "We are in a race," he says. "Either we eliminate malaria, or if we don't, then we think the parasite will become more and more resistant, and we won't be able to use these drugs any more ... And we'll have almost no drug to treat it."
The fight against malaria is becoming more pressing in Southeast Asia. Thailand, for one, has greatly reduced malaria infections through various control measures, including better drugs to treat it. But along Thailand's borders, new strains of malaria are emerging that are resistant to the most effective drugs. As NPR's Jason Beaubien reports from Thailand, the rise of these new forms of malaria could reverse years of progress.
JASON BEAUBIEN, BYLINE: The Whampa clinic sits on the eastern bank of the Moi River, on the border between Thailand and Myanmar, also known as Burma. Each morning, dozens of Burmese cross the muddy, cafe-cream-colored river in narrow skiffs; to seek medical attention at the simple health facility. And the first thing the clinic staff does, is to test anyone with fever for malaria.
DR. AUN PYAE PHYO: Five or six years ago, 90 percent of the patients had malaria. But these days, only 10 percent have malaria; and 90 percent are other kinds of infection.
BEAUBIEN: Dr. Aun Pyae Phyo, the lead doctor at the clinic, says malaria remains a major health problem in the area, particularly on the Burmese side of the border. And the cases they're seeing here, at his clinic, are growing harder to treat. On this morning, the doctors are tending to a 5-year-old malaria patient who had been carried into the clinic three days earlier.
AUN PYAE PHYO: On that day, he couldn't even move his limbs, so we need to start the intravenous, anti-malaria drops. And we also need to transfuse him with blood.
BEAUBIEN: The boy had traveled for more than half a day, with his mother, from deep inside Burma, to reach the clinic. By the time he arrived, he was suffering from severe malaria. Dr. Aun Pyae Phyo says if the mother had waited even a day longer to bring her son to the clinic, the child probably would have died. The boy responded well to an initial dose of intravenous, artemisinin drugs. The staff followed that with a three-day regimen of pills, including artemisinin. The problem is that lately here, doctors have been finding that some forms of the malaria parasite are growing resistant to artemisinin.
AUN PYAE PHYO: If the parasite strain in that kid turned out to be resistant, the scenario would be quite disastrous.
BEAUBIEN: The first day at the clinic, for this boy, was critical, Dr. Aun Pyae Phyo says. And if the parasite had continued to multiply in his body, the infection could have been fatal. This clinic is run by the Shoklo Malaria Research Unit, or SMRU, which is a part of Mahidol University. Francois Nosten, the head of SMRU, says drug-resistant malaria is still rare here, but it's a major concern.
BEAUBIEN: Sitting behind the clinic with chickens marching past his feet, Nosten said artemisinins are the last best drugs currently available, to treat malaria. And the threat of losing them should push the global community to launch an all-out war against the disease.
FRANCOIS NOSTEN: Either we eliminate malaria - or if we don't, then we think that the parasite will become more and more resistant; to such an extent, and such a point, that we won't be able to use these drugs anymore. So we would have lost that race, and then we'd know what's going to happen next. Malaria would be on the rise, and we have almost no drug to treat it.
BEAUBIEN: Drug resistance among malaria parasites is currently being seen here, along Thailand's western border; and also along Thailand's eastern border, with Cambodia. This part of the world is also where resistance first emerged to Chloroquine, one of the most famous - and effective - anti-malaria drugs of the 20th century. Chloroquine started to fail here in the 1960s, and then that resistance spread to the rest of the globe.
