On Saturday, the U-16s won their sixth straight game with a 3-1 win over Real Colorado behind goals from Eddie Munjoma, Weston McKinnie and an own goal. Real Colorado was previously unbeaten in their last six and sits in third place overall in the division.
Devin Vega, who appeared with the first team in the friendly against San Antonio, tallied a hat trick in the win while Weston McKinnie added two more goals and Toshiki Yasuda rounded out the scoring.
The U-16s move to an astonishing 13-1-2 with the pair of victories, eight points above second-place Dallas Texans who they have three games in hand on.

Dr Pepper Dallas Cup has announced four more teams for the prestigious Gordon Jago Super Group at Dr Pepper Dallas Cup XXXVI and for the fifth time in six years, the FC Dallas U-18 Academy has been invited to the Super Group.
The FC Dallas U-18s, who just returned from the Copa Chivas where they went 0-1-2 in a group against Chivas Guadalajara & Atlas of Liga MX plus Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds, are currently 7-4-2 in the US Soccer Development Academy U-18 Frontier Division. Many U-18 players have been training with the FC Dallas first team through their MLS preseason schedule, and will head into Dallas Cup XXXVI with plenty of previous experience in the tournament.
"I think it's good for the U-18's," said head coach Francisco Molina. "It gives them something to look forward to. Right now in the standings we're not doing great, there's no excuses, but it's an extra motivation for the boys to know that they're going to be in the Super Group and represent the club and the Academy well."
Last year, FCD won one of three Gordon Jago Super Group matches in a tough group with Fulham FC, Coritiba and Brommapojkarna, and has achieved the semifinals of the Super Group once in four previous appearances.
"They are probably a half a step ahead of us just because of the culture," said Molina about playing international opponents. "We're working very hard to get there, but they're still a half a step ahead but I think the boys will be motivated and well prepared to represent the club."
FC Dallas joins Real Salt Lake and the LA Galaxy as MLS academies in the Super Group with international sides Everton FC(England), Valencia CF(Spain), Corinthians(Brazil), Coritiba(Brazil), Tigres(Mexico) and River Plate(Argentina) all confirmed as Gordon Jago Super Group participants.
Dr Pepper Dallas Cup XXXVI begins on March 29th and runs through April 5th. Stay tuned to FCDallas.com for full coverage of the annual international tournament.
The FC Dallas U-16s traveled to Houston last weekend for the final round of qualifying in the 2014-2015 Generation adidas Cup with matches against the Colorado Rapids, Chicago Fire and Sporting KC to decide who would advance to the International Division Championship bracket of the annual tournament.
FC Dallas won all three matches, defeating the Colorado Rapids 3-1 behind goals from Gio Montesdeoca, Eddie Munjoma, Weston McKinnie and an own goal.
They followed that up with a 1-0 win over Chicago Fire on Saturday through a Brandon Terwege goal that clinched qualification into the International Division and then defeated Sporting KC 1-0 through another Montesdeoca on Monday in very difficult weather conditions to clinch the #1 seed in the group.
Since the GA Cup is a U-17 tournament, the FC Dallas team is a combination of U-16 & U-18 players, and they went 4-0-1 in qualifying matches allowing just two goals in the five games. They will play for the GA Cup Championship right here at the Toyota Soccer Center in early April.
FC Dallas U-15's & U-13's sweep Houston Dynamo
The FCD U-15 & U-13 teams were also in Houston this weekend for TPAL league play against the Dynamo.

The U-13s also defeated the Dynamo 3-2 with goals coming from Luis Pacheco, Roel Pena and Dante Sealy. The U-13s are 7-1-3 on the year and lead their division by five points.
Both teams will host Texas Rush at the Toyota Soccer Center this Saturday at 12PM and 2PM.

As expected, he's been called back into U-17 Residency as they prepare for the CONCACAF Championships and hopefully U-17 World Cup. Here's the full release from US Soccer:

"With World Cup qualifying at the beginning of March, it will be important for us to continue training well and performing well.

About the U-17 Residency Program:
The U.S. players live on campus at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, and train in the morning under the guidance of the U.S. U-17 MNT coaching staff. In the afternoon, the players attend classes at St. Stephen's Episcopal School. While in the full-time residency program, the U.S. not only trains daily, but also has access to the IMG Academy facilities. The team regularly uses IMG's state-of-the-art strength-training facilities, as well as some of the nation's best sports psychologists who work at the Academy. The IMG Academies include top-of-the-line soccer equipment, Bermuda grass fields, renovated student housing and dining facilities.
Since its inception, approximately 400 players have been through the full-time Residency Program, and more than 100 players have moved on to Major League Soccer and other professional leagues.
The first full-time U.S. Soccer Residency Program began on Jan. 17, 1999, when U.S. Soccer collected 20 of the country's elite youth players to train year-round.
The CONCACF U-20s are in full swing down in Jamaica and FC Dallas players have played a big part in the tournament as Mexico and the USA look to qualify for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand. Let's take a look at how both of our FC Dallas professional players have done as well as a quick look at an Academy player making headlines.
Jesse Gonzalez and Mexico U-20s perfect through three games
It's been a fantastic tournament for Jesse Gonzalez and the Mexico U-20s who look set to cruise to one of the two automatic qualifying spots.
Mexico is a perfect 3-0-0 in the tournament with an astounding +13 goal differential. FC Dallas Homegrown goalkeeper Jesse Gonzalez has played every minute of all three games in goal for Mexico allowing just one goal for El Tri.
The Mexican U-20s won their first match against Cuba by an astounding 9-1 scoreline, following that up with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Canada. In their third match of the tournament, Mexico impressively dispatched of Honduras by a 3-0 score to solidify their spot at the top of the group.
Judging by the highlights, Gonzalez hasn't had a ton of work in his two shutouts, though stiff tests await in El Salvador and a potential U-20 Championship game. Mexico can clinch the top spot in the group and a place in the 2015 U-20 World Cup with a win over El Salvador on Monday.
Up and down for Kellyn Acosta & USA U-20s
Team captain Kellyn Acosta and the US Soccer U-20s have had an up and down tournament so far in Jamaica going 1-1-1 and finding themselves in third place in the group with two matches left.
In their first match against Guatemala, the United States led 1-0 late in the match before FCD Academy player Andy Ruiz scored surely the goal of his life on a 20-yard volley to send the game to a 1-1 tie.
The next match was a crucial game against a very good Panama side that the United States surprisingly dropped 1-0 leaving them in a tough position near the bottom of the group.
USA bounced back with a huge 8-0 win over lowly Aruba that shot the US back up to third in the group standings. Kellyn Acosta started and played the first two matches for the US U-20s as captain.
The United States certainly has their work cut out for them in the next week with games against hosts Jamaica on Sunday and Trinidad & Tobago on Wednesday. The US needs to finish at least third to qualify for the one-game knockout round with the winner advancing to the U-20 World Cup.
FCD Academy's Ruiz leads surprising Guatemala U-20s
RUIZ Golazo vs US
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the CONCACAF U-20s has been Guatemala and FCD Academy midfielder Andy Ruiz scored the goal everyone was talking about in the 1-1 draw against the United States.
Guatemala has followed that up with wins over Trinidad & Tobago and Jamaica giving them a great shot to either win the group or finishing second.
Ruiz has played every minute of the three matches scoring the goal against the United States.
Guatemala has games against Aruba and group-leading Panama left with two wins securing them the top spot in the group and a berth in the 2015 U-20 World Cup.
The FC Dallas U-14s are currently in Bolivia playing in the annual Tahuichi Mundialito representing Texas and the USA.
In their first match on Sunday, Chris Hayden's team played against Tahuichi, the host club, in front of more than 20,000 people after the opening ceremonies at the Estadio Ramon Tahuichi Aguilera.
According to Hayden, the team played mostly defensively through the first 20 minutes but settled down and nearly took the lead late in the half when Jesus Ferreira hit the post. FCD conceded two goals in quick succession right before halftime.
In the second half, they conceded once more to fall to a 3-0 defeat.
The U-14s bounced back on day two with a 3-0 win over Brazilian side Corumbaense.
Carlos Garcia opened the scoring in the first half before Adrian Morales and Garcia scored to seal the 3-0 win in the second half.
1-1-0 in the tournament, FCD closes out the group stage against Amador Plaza from Panama today. They'll play one more match after that to determine final seeding.
It's almost time for the 2015 CONCACAF U-20 Championships as the North American soccer scene starts to awake from the holiday slumber and FC Dallas Homegrowns will once again play a big part in the tournament which serves as qualifiying for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand.
The Mexico roster was released just a few days ago and for the second-straight cycle, an FC Dallas Homegrown goalkeeper will be between the pipes for El Tri.
Jesse Gonzalez has been called up for the Mexico U-20s as one of two goalkeepers for a Mexico team that will face Cuba, Canada, Honduras, El Salvador and Haiti from January 10th through 22nd with the top team from each group advancing to the U20 World Cup and the next four teams playing in playoff matches to also earn spots in the tournament.
The Unites States U-20 CONCACAF Championship team is set to be announced on Monday with Kellyn Acosta expected to be one of the midfield captains for Tab Ramos' squad.
The opening weekend of the 2014-2015 US Youth Soccer National League took place in Wilson, NC last weekend and the FC Dallas Premier U17 & U18 teams went undefeated in eight combined games. The teams will meet again in Florida in late December as they look to book a ticket to the National Championships in Tulsa in 2015. Here's a recap of the action:
FC Dallas 97 U18 Premier boys go 4-0 at National League play behind five goals from Sergio Lara
97 Premier defeated Fullerton Rangers 2-1 with Sergio Lara and Jose Benitez scoring in their first match. They followed that up with a 2-0 win over Albion SC White behind two more goals from Lara.
In their third match, 97 Premier defeated Chicago Fire Raiders Elite 4-1 with Lara scoring two more goals and Reece Schattle and Matt Rochowski scoring the other two goals.
They wrapped the perfect week up with a 3-0 win over Classics Eagles behind goals from Schattle, Rochowski and Alan Salazar.
FC Dallas 98 U17 Premier boys to 1-0-3 at National League opening week
FC Dallas 98 Premier openeed the week with a1-1 draw against SC del Sol 98 with Gerber Chavez scoring the goal for FCD. Next up was a 3-3 draw against Fullerton Rangers White behind two goals from Luis ZuaZua and a strike from Matthew Gonzalez.
In their third match, FCD 98 Premier tied Baltimore Celtic behind a strike from Gonzalez.
Finally, the 98s scored their first win of the week on the last day beating the Chicago Magic PSG Preacademy 6-0 with a hat trick from Adan Garcia and goals from Chavez, Gonzalez and Keegan McCombie.
Just one more camp stands between Tab Ramos' US U-20 National Team and CONCACAF U-20 World Cup Qualifying set to begin on January 9th in Jamaica.
Kellyn Acosta has once again been called in to camp in Honduras which will be the final tune-up before things get really serious. Here's the release from US Soccer:
CHICAGO (Dec. 12, 2014) – U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team head coach Tab Ramos has named a roster for the USA's final foreign training camp of the year from Dec. 15-22 in Honduras.
Nineteen players are headed to the camp, which will feature matches against the Honduras U-20s on Dec. 18 and 21 at Morazan Stadium in San Pedro Sula. The Dec. 18 game kicks off at 4 p.m. local (5 p.m. ET) and the Dec. 21 match at 2 p.m. local (3 p.m. ET).
This is the U-20 MNT's final foreign training camp of the year before turning its focus on the 2015 CONCACAF U-20 Championship starting Jan. 9 in Jamaica.
The USA roster for Honduras features nine of the 10 players who took part in the U-20 MNT's recent domestic fitness camp from Dec. 3-10 in Bradenton, Florida.
The group also includes midfielders Russell Canouse and Romain Gall, who are the only two players to feature in all seven of the U-20 MNT's international matches this year. Canouse leads the team with six starts and Gall is tied for third on the U-20s with two goals, both of which came during the USA's 4-3 victory against Russia's U-21 national team on Nov. 12 in Marbella, Spain.
The goalkeeping tandem of Santiago Castaño and Zack Steffen has accounted for six of the USA's seven starts this year. Steffen, who officially signed with Bundesliga club SC Freiburg on Friday, has posted shutouts in both of his matches – a 4-0 win against Bermuda and a scoreless draw against Australia en route to the NTC Invitational title – and Castaño had a clean sheet during the USA's 1-0 win against the Republic of Ireland on Nov. 15.
The USA roster includes 18 players with ties to the Development Academy.

Brigada 6 Operaţii Speciale "Mihai Viteazu" (English: 6th Special Operations Brigade "Mihai Viteazu") is a Romanian Land Forces special operations brigade formed in 25 October 2011 by the expansion of the former 1st Special Operations Regiment (composed of one special forces and two supporting paratrooper battalions) with an additional logistics battalion to facilitate independent operations.
In the late 1990s, the Romanian Armed Forces considered the possibility of creating Brigada 6 is composed of Batalionul 610 Operaţii Speciale "Vulturi", Batalionul 620 Operaţii Speciale "Băneasa-Otopeni", Batalionul 630 Paraşutişti "Smaranda Brăescu", Batalionul 640 Logistic. Mihai Viteazu Brigade headquarters is in City of Târgu Mureş.
An earlier structure which is the Regimentul 1 Operaţii Speciale (1st Special Operations Regiment) was established in 1 August 2009.[1]
In the late 1990s, the Romanian Armed Forces considered the possibility of creating a unified special operations force. The Romanian Joint Chiefs of Staff had discussions in which they sought to decide whether to keep the existing orders of battle of elite units incorporated into each separate category of forces (ground forces, the air force and the navy), or to create a new, integrated unit. They decided on the latter plan, especially considering the (at that time) future integration of Romania into NATO.
Rapid changes took place soon after the September 11, 2001 attacks, when the decision was made to create this new unit, which would "embed the best soldiers from all three categories of the armed forces, the ground forces, the air force and the navy" (General Chief of Staff, Gen. dr. Mihail Popescu).[citation needed]
Selection started in 2003. Four allied nations—the United States, the United Kingdom, Israel, and Turkey—advised in the selection process, incorporating their experience into the new SOF battalion - Batalionul 1 Operaţii Speciale "Vulturi".
In preparation for the creation of the military unit, several elite units were disbanded. These included the 119th Recon Battalion in Oradea, the 56th Para battalion in Caracal-Deveselu, the 64th Para battalion at Titu-Boteni, as well as another para battalion in Câmpia Turzii. All but the last were elite units that participated in a large number of international exercises, as well as deployments abroad.
Batalionul 610 Operaţii Speciale "Vulturii"[edit]
The Batalionul 1 Operaţii Speciale "Vulturii" (nowadays Batalionul 610 Operaţii Speciale "Vulturi", en. 610th Special Operations Battalion "Vulturii" -- The Eagles) was created in 1.3.2003. Battalion became operational in late 2005, after several batches of graduates had already been selected. Members of the SOF battalion have benefitted from courses abroad, such as the US Army Special Forces course, the Force Recon course (USMC), as well as other courses. The US Army Special Forces also sent several instructors who were stationed in Romania for periods of up to 6 months at a time. The Turkish SF were also heavily involved in counselling the selection process, due to the high number of exercises previously held in common with various units in Romania. The United Kingdom and Israel also sent instructors, although it is unclear from which units they came.
Special operations battalion became fully operational in 2007, with a company having been already active since 2006. Elements of the battalion were deployed in Afghanistan. A notable casualty of this deployment was Capt. (posthumously Maj.) Tiberius-Marcel Petre,[2] who was killed in a firefight. He was posthumously awarded the Order of the Star of Romania[3] and the US Bronze Star.[4]
Asked if members of the unit will take part in real missions abroad, the former Minister of National Defense Teodor Atanasiu replied "with certainty".[5]
Batalionul 610 was renamed from Batalionul 1 on October 25, 2011.[6]
Batalionul 620 Operaţii Speciale "Băneasa-Otopeni"[edit]
The formerly known as Batalionul 60 Paraşutişti "Băneasa-Otopeni" (60th Paratroopers Battalion "Băneasa-Otopeni") is the main paratrooper unit of the Romanian Land Forces. It was originally formed in 1941. It was previously subordinated to the 1st Territorial Army Corps, and its headquarters are located in Buzău.[7] The battalion was part of the 2nd Paratroopers Brigade (HQ Clinceni), which was disbanded in 2005 due to a reorganization program of the Romanian Land Forces, in order to reach NATO standards. Batalionul 60 Paraşutişti "Băneasa-Otopeni" was renamed Batalionul 620 Operaţii Speciale in 2011.
Their first foreign operation came in 2009 in Kosovo, where an 86-man unit was deployed. The unit was equipped with URO VAMTAC vehicles.[8]
Batalionul 630 Paraşutişti "Smaranda Brăescu"[edit]
The formerly known as Batalionul 498 Paraşutişti "Smaranda Brăescu" (498th Paratroopers Battalion) is a paratroopers battalion of the Romanian Land Forces, established on 30 November 1990. It was previously subordinated to the 4th Infantry Division (HQ Cluj-Napoca) and its headquarters are located at Bacău. The battalion was part of the 4th Para Brigade (HQ Bacau), which was disbanded in 2005 due to a reorganization program of the Romanian Land Forces, in order to reach NATO standards. Batalionul 498 Paraşutişti "Smaranda Brăescu" was renamed Batalionul 630 Paraşutişti "Smaranda Brăescu" in 2011.
Batalionul 640 Logistic[edit]
Batalionul 640 Logistic (640th Logistics Battalion) is responsible for command and logistics support for Brigada 6 Operaţii Speciale "Mihai Viteazu".

Figure 5.
O2 is rate limiting for Skp1 hydroxylation. The modification status of Skp1was analyzed as a function of O2 level. Whole cell extracts (Ax3 or phyA–) harvested after 24 h of submerged development were subjected to SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Blots were sequentially probed with (A) pAb UOK87, which preferentially (but not exclusively) recognizes unmodified Skp1 [5], (B) mAb 4E1, which recognizes all Skp1 isoforms, and (C) anti-actin, as a loading control. Skp1 migrated predominantly as 2 bands: an upper glycosylated band, and a closely-spaced lower non-glycosylated band (preferentially labeled by pAb UOK87) that was partially contaminated by glycosylated Skp1. (D) The levels of glycosylated and unmodified Skp1 were quantitated by densitometry of mAb 4E1-labeled blots as described in Methods, and the fraction of total Skp1 that is unmodified is plotted as a function of O2 level in the atmosphere. Data are from 5 independent experiments and are reported ± SEM. (E) The number of spores formed after 3 d for the trial shown for panels AC is shown.

Wastewater Facilities:
Experts' Views on How Federal Funds Should Be Spent to Improve Security
GAO-05-165: Published: Jan 31, 2005. Publicly Released: Mar 2, 2005.

Since the events of September 11, 2001, the security of the nation's drinking water and wastewater infrastructure has received increased attention from Congress and the executive branch. Wastewater facilities in the United States provide essential services to residential, commercial, and industrial users by collecting and treating wastewater and discharging it into receiving waters. These facilities, however, may possess certain characteristics that terrorists could exploit either to impair the wastewater treatment process or to damage surrounding communities and infrastructure. GAO was asked to obtain experts' views on (1) the key security-related vulnerabilities affecting the nation's wastewater systems, (2) the activities the federal government should support to improve wastewater security, and (3) the criteria that should be used to determine how any federal funds are allocated to improve security, and the best methods to distribute these funds. GAO conducted a systematic, Web-based survey of 50 nationally recognized experts to seek consensus on these key wastewater security issues. EPA expressed general agreement with the report, citing its value as the agency works with its partners to better secure the nation's critical wastewater infrastructure.
Experts identified the collection system's network of sewer lines as the most vulnerable asset of a wastewater utility. Experts stated that the sewers could be used either as a means to covertly gain access to surrounding buildings or as a conduit to inject hazardous substances that could impair a wastewater treatment plant's capabilities. Among the other vulnerabilities most frequently cited were the storage and transportation of chemicals used in the wastewater treatment process and the automated systems that control many vital operations. In addition, experts described a number of vulnerabilities not specific to particular assets but which may also affect the security of wastewater facilities. These vulnerabilities include a general lack of security awareness among wastewater facility staff and administrators, interdependencies among various wastewater facility components leading to the possibility that the disruption of a single component could take down the entire system, and interdependencies between wastewater facilities and other critical infrastructures. Experts identified several key activities as most deserving of federal funds to improve wastewater facilities' security. Among those most frequently cited was the replacement of gaseous chemicals used in the disinfection process with less hazardous alternatives. This activity was rated as warranting highest priority for federal funding by 29 of 50 experts. Other security-enhancing activities most often rated as warranting highest priority included improving local, state, and regional collaboration (23 of 50 experts) and supporting facilities' efforts to comprehensively assess their vulnerabilities (20 of 50 experts). When asked how federal wastewater security funds should be allocated among potential recipients, the vast majority of experts suggested that wastewater utilities serving critical infrastructure (e.g., public health institutions, government, commercial and industrial centers) should be given highest priority (39 of 50). Other recipients warranting highest priority included utilities using large quantities of gaseous chemicals (26 of 50) and utilities serving areas with large populations (24 of 50). Experts identified direct federal grants as the most effective method to distribute the funds, noting particular circumstances in which a matching contribution should be sought from recipients. Specifically, a matching requirement was often recommended to fund activities that benefit individual utilities. Grants with no matching requirements were often recommended for activities that should be implemented more quickly and would benefit multiple utilities. The other funding mechanisms experts mentioned most frequently included the federal Clean Water State Revolving Fund, loans or loan guarantees, trust funds, and tax incentives.

The "In Secret" star, who is dating 32-year-old model Boyd Holbrook, filmed intimate moments for the new movie in which they play secret lovers in 1860s Paris, reports contactmusic.com.
''It's incredibly awkward. But you have to feel safe and you have to feel respected and you just provide that for each other. You create a safe environment. It's like a dance in a way. You get it done," eonline.com quoted the actress as saying.

Richard White: Compensation for board members could be a violation of statute
Question: Would you clarify the legality of compensation for board of directors of a condominium association? Our association bylaws stipulate the board of directors consist of five annually elected board members. Currently we have four directors. The subject of paying directors for performing services above and beyond normal responsibilities and assuming the role as a general manager has been proposed. Can you tell me if this is appropriate and if approval is required of the membership? Or can the board of directors vote on this proposal at the annual meeting or at the business meeting that is scheduled to follow? -- C.S. / Broward
Answer: In my opinion, the association would be better off to engage a manager or management company to help reduce the workload. When you pay directors, if not done correctly, it could be a violation of the Community Association Managers Act. FS 718.112 says, "Unless otherwise provided in the bylaws, the officers shall serve without compensation and at the pleasure of the board of administration. Unless otherwise provided in the bylaws, the members of the board shall serve without compensation." FS 617 has similar wording. If your documents do not specifically allow payment, then you must modify your documents. I would suggest that you have the association attorney draft the proper amendment and supervise the members' voting. This brings up a matter of owner apathy. Everything must be done to encourage the members share in the responsibility of serving on the board. The strongest point to sell the owners on volunteering is the increased cost they must pay.
* * *
Question: I need some clarification as to what is the total vote required to amend the declaration of my condo association. It states in the declaration that an affirmative vote of 75 percent of all condominium parcels at an association meeting duly called for such purpose pursuant to the bylaws. My question is this: "What are the total votes required? Seventy-five percent of total membership or 75 percent of the total number of votes turned in? -- V.B. / Clearwater
Answer: FS 718.104 says, "All persons who have record title to the interest in the land being submitted to condominium ownership, or their lawfully authorized agents, must join in the execution of the declaration. Upon the recording of the declaration, or an amendment…" Simply put, it must be done with the percentage approved in your document of all owners. I strongly suggest that you have an attorney draft the modification, supervise the voting and record the proper documents. Keep in mind that your documents control the title rights, and a simple mistake or an errant word can change the title rights.
* * *
Question: We have been advised that two owners in our condo association have not paid their assessments. Their names and addresses were listed in the notice sent to all owners. We were advised the board has spent more than $8,000 in legal fees this year. Outstanding delinquent accounts that are not paid by the delinquent owners, including legal fees, will be assessed to all owners by their percentage of ownership as set forth in the condominium documents. The total amount will be reflected in the 2010 monthly maintenance fees for all owners. Many owners are concerned and upset about this. I didn't think the names of the delinquent people could be shown, as I thought you had mentioned this in your column some time ago. Is it legal to post names and assess the other members? -- K.E. / Largo
Answer: While the condominium statute does not address the posting of delinquent owners' names and addresses, it may be a violation of the federal credit laws. My objection is that it can cause neighbor problems. What good does it do to post the names and address of the nonpayers? They are your neighbors. You cannot stand in front of their homes and throw stones and you should not yell negative remarks. A better way is to say we have six units delinquent. If another owner wants to know who, they can submit a letter to the board to inspect the records. This way the board can control the information and avoid future conflicts.
* * *
Question: Our board is having a budget meeting to approve the budget, which includes funding the reserves at 100 percent and raising the maintenance fee. They are also voting on a special assessment at the same meeting. In the past, we have been able to vote to fund the reserves at specified amounts or not to fund them at all. There is no ballot this time and only a statement that the state of Florida requires 100 percent funding. I have read the statute, but am somewhat confused as to its meaning. What is the proper action the board should be taking? -- E.D. / Hudson
Answer: Budgets are approved by the directors at a board meeting. It is the responsibility of the board to prepare a proper expense budget for expected expenses for the next year. That budget should include a reserve budget that fully funds (100 percent) the projected reserves. It is the responsibility of the board to approve the budgets and not the members. The same would be true of the directors voting for a special assessment. It is not the responsibility of the board to call a members' meeting, which would be the situation for the members to make a motion to reduce or eliminate the reserves. If the members want to reduce the reserves, then they must take the initiative to call the meeting, make the motion and vote to reduce or eliminate the reserves. More information can be found in FS 718.112(e). The only time the members can change the expense budget, not the reserves, is if the expense budget reflects a 115 percent increase. Then the members, not the board, must call a members' meeting, present a substitute budget and vote to approve the substitute budget.
Richard White is a licensed community association manager in Florida. Questions should be mailed to him at 6039 Cypress Gardens Blvd. # 201, Winter Haven, Fl. 33884-4415; e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. To be considered, questions and comments should include the author's name and city. Questions should be about association operations, not legal matters.

Create a desktop client for HootSuite
If you could create a desktop client for HootSuite (a native one), it would be a real boost to your excellent service.
It could be written in something like Qt, so it would become cross platform and also very fast.
We need an app for Mac OS to manage accounts because we need to use website and its not so cool
It's very uncomfortable to keep opening browsers to schedule a tweet or a post. Please make the app.
Pls create a desktop App for Mac.
What is often mentioned in this forum (this Chrome thing, e.g. here: http://feedback.hootsuite.com/forums/40182-hootsuite-com-web-dashboard/suggestions/1945809-hootsutie-should-have-a-desktop-app-for-mac-and-wi) does NOT work on Mac.
An actual non-browser application for Hootsuite.
So you have the feeling of a real application. And so that you do`nt have to open your browser each time you want to use Hootsuite.
If can build a windows desktop client and make it real time refresh will be powerful enough to replace the dying tweetDeck.
and not this ersatz you came up with which is basically just like a web browser. Besides, the interface's weakness quickly comes into focus when one clicks on flickr or instagram links (or any link for that matter) and is taken back to ... a web browser! You need image/video viewer integration. I'd be willing to pay a couple bucks more per month to have a more performing desktop app (I'm on MacBookPro)
A windows 8 app that can be launched from the new start menu and have access to your account.
You already make a stand alone app for Apple computers but not for Wiindows. I don't want to have to run it in a browser.
I joined HootSuite but will not be using it as I expected it to be a freestanding desktop application in Windows. I am not interested in somethging that only operates in a browser.
Can't believe this doesn't exist already but you really should have a standalone windows desktop client app.
The lack of one has made me choose to not use HootSuite until they do.
Browser plugins and shortcuts aren't going to cut it for anyone doing serious social networking on a windows machine.
the solutions offered now are Prism, which is dead, or Chrome shortcuts. i'd rather a dedicated application. this alone is keeping me with tweetdeck and it's a memory hog. help! :)
I think that it would bee a good time to make one science tweetdeck was taken by twofer and mortally wonder the app. So this would be the best time to do it and if you make one make a notification pop up FYI
While we have no plans for a traditional desktop app, we'll examine the use case scenario for one.
20 comments
you had one a few years ago !
A desktop app would enable system wide notifications to be an option so your users can be alerted to chosen events regardless of what window they're looking at. It would also give us a separate item on the taskbar something I find important, especially as Chrome has a RAM leak issue once too many tabs are open for too long. There are plenty of solutions that would allow it to be cross platform out of the box so you wouldn't need to create different apps for different OS.
I am not interested in your "Chrome App". I don't want chrome involved.
PAYING USER, I've given this idea 3 votes
brian botkiller commented
Since HS has killed fluid support, they've jacked up every ability we have to make a desktop app of HS. This is the dumbest crap ever. To expect people to always run their dashboard in a browser window is inane. Not that Hootsuite cares about anything like that !
Natalie commented
Yes, please create a desktop application. With all the safari tabs i regularly have open, I often forget to look at the hootesuite one as it gets lost in the shuffle. When I used to use *gasp* Twitteriffic's desktop app, I found it super handy.
Jason Collins commented
The responsive web interface becomes unresponsive quite often, specifically when mousing over tweets to take action on them. It's frustrating, so I would really be in favor of a native Mac client.
yes please create a desktop app; it's be great to have one available in the Mac store. I also dislike web interfaces and would prefer a desktop app.
Bob commented
While your service is great, I don't use it as often as I should, never remember to login. If I had a desktop client that I could keep running like the old tweetdeck I would definitely use it more.
Luke Melville commented
A Windows Phone and Windows 8 app would be amazing. I'd definitely use HootSuite then.
John Darrell Askey commented
Even a third-party app, although unofficial and unauthorized, would be a help! I just created a Chrome "app" for the Hootsuite web page, which lets me open a mini-Chrome window. I tend to have too many tabs open and a stand-alone app (like this Chrome "app") would solve some of my computer performance issues (memory, cache/page file, CPU load, etc.) I have a similar app for LiveJournal, my main blogging platform, although I can also use the web page or the Microsoft Live Writer program. The app for LiveJournal doesn't offer a lot of features, but it's a lightweight program and meets my usually basic needs. A similar app or desktop program for Hootsuite would be wonderful!
R. Stephen Gracey commented
I miss all sorts of things happening in social media because I always have to return to the web client to see what's happening. I can't believe there's no desktop client for this....
Sander de regt commented
I've been using Tweetdeck 0.38 up until the very last minute, but now I have to switch. Hootsuite is very promising. I like the UI. The look. But I only run desktop clients. I want a seperate item on my taskbar. And I don't want my twitter experience ruined by my constantly open bookmarks etc.
So 3 votes for a Desktop Client for windows.
Douglas Brown commented
I use your service for only a small bit of what I could as I HATE web clients. I find that I close them down when I don't want to as it is a browser not an app. I'm running Chrome not HootSuite. Plus - it is slower in the browser...
Look at something like TweetDeck, Twitter is killing the old Adobe air version that really rocks so there is an opening for a great client experience. You guys do so much more but at the end of the day the client experience is what really matter to people's day to day usage. The experience I get from the HootSuite web client is poor so I only use it when I need it and I'm looking for a better client now as the TweetDeck client is going bye bye. :(
PLEASE --- give us a beautiful native Mac client!! PLEASE
Scottie J. Haines commented
Windows 8 app!
Gabriela commented
RE: I need this desktop app, it would be very convenient, and there is no other alternative but to tweetdeck, but it has a lot of problems, constant crashes...
I agree. Desktop notifications would make my job a lot easier and would push me to use hootsuite more often. Tweetdeck gets used more often cause of this function, not because I like it more.
Kat Smith commented
Windows 8 app please!
I need this desktop app, it would be very convenient, and there is no other alternative but to tweetdeck, but it has a lot of problems, constant crashes...
AdminSarah (Admin, Hootsuite) commented
Thank you for following up with me! We'll mark this as under review.
Ali Naderzad commented
Yes, I am. It's sort of a let's pretend to be a desktop app but not a real one. At the very least needs image/video player integration. thanks.
CasaBori commented
Another vote for a Windows 8 app.
It has more features than tweetdeck,
But without desktop client i won't be using it

I modded my friends 1.6 xbox with an xecuter 2.6ce. I redid his hard drive when he got a 200GB and it seemed to be working fine. i had it unplugged for about 7 hours today and when he tries to start it up, it frags. the problem(i think)is that the clock keeps resetting. when he turns on the xbox with the modchip off it loads to the MS dash and the clock set scren comes up. after he sets it, and restarts the xbox with the mod stiff off, it boots regularly. whenhe puts the mod chip on and starts it, it frags. then he turns the chip off and then starts the xbox, the clock screen comes up. is there any way to fix this? when i did the Hard drive i remember only copying the C drive over to the new hard drive and not the E partition...would that have anything to do with the xbox not starting? any info would be helpful.

From what I understand what was delayed was the Xoom but its now being pushed? HOPEFULLY we will finally get ICS next week :icon_ lala:
That makes sense. The nexus got the 4.04 update last week. The xoom this week. And then us next week.
Come on bring it already...

Wow, so they plan on finishing development testing on the lastest build, get the OK from big red, soak test & start the update in about 1 weeks time.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Forum Runner
They put out the call for testers on Sunday for the Xoom on the motorola forum. And today some people were already seeing the upgrades. So they move quickly.
When was the build made? I bet wasn't just a week prior. Going from soak test to release is usually fast, but build to soak test.
Although I hope I'm wrong, but don't think that the latest build they just did is going to be the final. Even if it is, won't be approved, soak tested, then released in 1 weeks time.
We haven't even got an update notice from Verizon yet so speculating when we'll get is pointless.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Forum Runner
xoom – Search Results – Droid Life
There's the timeline. 6.1 Verizon announces it's coming. Someone leaks that it's coming on the 4th. On the 4th Motorola asks for testers on their forum. Someone leaks that build. People check their updater and some of them are starting to get the update.
The Nexus 4.04 update had a similar timeline last week.
I believe with the Razr we will see an announce documents on Friday and probably a release on Monday or Tuesday.
Time will tell.

Pay it Forward Friday with Author Denise K. Rago and IMMORTAL OBSESSION
Welcome my neighbor, Denise, and her wonderful Vampire Novel on Pay it Forward Friday!
Lots of love, Emily
Immortal Obsession
by Author Denise K. Rago
Caught in a civil war among their kind in French Revolution-era Paris, vampires Christian Du Mauré and his closest friend Michel Baptiste say goodbye to their mortal lover, Josette Delacore. Christian learns that he is the father of her daughter Solange, who has been whisked away to London for her safety. Through passing centuries, Christian acts as sentry, protecting his mortal descendants, never meddling in their lives.
In present day Manhattan, Amanda Perretti agrees to meet her vagrant brother Ryan in Central Park. They have no idea that they are the last descendants of Christian and Josette. After witnessing his savage murder, Amanda then sees his fanged murderer lose his head to a mysterious man. Waking up unharmed, Amanda realizes she has entered another realm. Though the police doubt her account of the murder, she vows to find the beautiful stranger who saved her life.
Months later their paths accidentally cross, and while Amanda seeks answers, Christian tries to shield her from an ancient enemy he knows will come to seek revenge. When Michel confesses a dark secret, Christian is still unsure of how to protect Amanda and when he discovers that Amanda's vampire lover is indeed his enemy, he must decide all of their fates. Amanda finally learns the truth about her lineage and that her blood gives vampires rare powers. He shares some of his past with her.
Amanda's vampire lover and Christian fight one another in Central Park. Christian kills his enemy and while celebrating their victory at the local vampire club, Amanda steps outside to make a phone call. Solange and another vampire drag her up to the rooftop. After they attack Amanda, Christian tries rescuing her and receives a fatal stab wound. Amanda forces him to drink her blood to save his life while almost losing her own life.
Later, at home Christian detects two heart beats inside Amanda and realizes she is unaware she is pregnant.
A Little Look inside Immortal Obsession
Steps away from Central Park, among careworn books and paintings, the vampire Christian Du Mauré quietly watches over two modern mortals: Amanda and Ryan Perretti are the last two descendants of a painful affair Christian had more than two centuries ago in Paris France with mortal aristocrat, Josette Delacore. On the eve of revolution, he makes a vow to her, not understanding the consequences of his promise. When Immortal Obsession begins, Christian's promise is intact; his young ancestors suspect nothing of their origin.
Amanda's life is happily predictable: she landed her dream job working for New York's monolithic Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she unites her fascination with Revolution-era Paris and her abiding love of art. During one late night at work, Amanda is roused by an unexpected phone call. Her brother Ryan urgently needs her help. Against her better judgment, she rushes to meet him in Central Park—and unwittingly becomes entangled in a world she never imagined was real.
How did you come up with the title for your book? Does it have any special meaning?
Actually my husband came up with the title. I was agonizing over it when he blurted out 'how about Immortal Obsession?' It just made sense because the story revolves around several vampires who each became obsessed with mortal women and have sustained their fascination for them over centuries.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Definitely the vampire Christian Du Mauré as he is based on a man I knew in a past life who I loved then and still feel connected to in this lifetime. Christian is complex. He feels deeply and remains loyal to those he loves despite being a loner.
Does your book have any underlying theme, message, or moral?
Themes of guilt, regret, betrayal and loss run through Immortal Obsession as well as the message that love is timeless and eternal. The main character, Christian Du Mauré never loses the intense love he feels for his mortal lover or the deep connection to his best friend, despite lies and betrayals by them both.
Bio of Author Denise K. Rago
Denise K Rago lives in New Jersey with her husband. A chance encounter with a mysterious stranger inspired her to begin Immortal Obsession, creating her vampire Christian Du Mauré. The author is an avid reader and blogger, with a passion for art museums, Central Park, the French Revolution and all things vampire.
She puts them all to work in Immortal Obsession as well as the sequel, Blood Tears.

I thought the description said… romance?
If you know me at all… you know that I am an avid reader. I read and listen to books every day without fail.
Even on the day I had my operation, I was reading hooked up to a morphine pump in the hospital room.
You know that I am a lover of Paranormal Romance, especially in the vampiric vein, so to speak.
Nothing gets my heart beating faster than a tall, dark vampire hero!
Okay, before I get started with my post, I know those of you will vehemently disagree with me.
So, for the record, let me state this…
I definitely don't begrudge anyone their 50 Shades of Grey.
That is not my vexation or angst.
My chagrin is that I have a policy to read a book cover to cover. The past several books I have started on my blessed Kindle, I have had to put down because the writing bothered me.
The story troubled me so much that this morning, after I closed my Kindle on yet another book characterized as a romance, I wanted to write why my coveted policy is being abandoned.
I thought romance was attraction, friendship, wooing, a little intrigue, heroism (both hero and heroines) and danger in the mix, but most of all, in the end it was about… LOVE!
However, what I believe to be romance is not the case in all books classified as romance.
I feel some romance novels are based or about meanness, possession, domination, callousness… and then – oh by the way – I love you, if you obey me?
What the heck? Exsqueeze me? Baking Powder? (borrowed phrases from one of my fav movies, Wayne's World.)
This is my way of stating that I feel in my heart that romance is not a one-way street – my way or the highway, so to speak.
However, romance is different for all of us – some want friendship and romance that turns into love, and some want dominance and chains that melt into love.
Hmm, I was curious and looked to the definition of romance.This is what Merriam-Webster's Dictionary stated:
a (1) : a medieval tale based on legend, chivalric love and adventure, or the supernatural (2) : a prose narrative treating imaginary characters involved in events remote in time or place and usually heroic, adventurous, or mysterious (3) : a love story especially in the form of a novel
b : a class of such literature
I am vexed – the books I have shut off my Kindle all have romance in the description. I am not saying that they are wrong.
I will just have to do more research before hitting the "Buy it in 1-click" button on Amazon. No one's fault but my own.
I'm curious…
what's your definition of romance?
Lots of love,

I am glad to use this Deodarant.This is good for users who have sensitive skin.
Good powder work for 10 hours and more.I feel fresh every time.

I have been using this for years! Buying these all the way from Singapore. It works perfect for me keeping my underarms dry throughout the day in the hot Singapore climate. Normal anti-perspirant just doesn't seem to work.
