Trayvon Martin 7-Eleven Surveillance Video Shows Slain Teen Shortly Before He Was Killed. Trayvon Martin walked into a Sanford, Fla., 7-Eleven on Feb. 26, purchased a bag of Skittles and an Arizona iced tea, and before he was able to return to his father's fiancée's home, he was killed.
Surveillance footage from the convenience store that evening is among the evidence prosecutors released Thursday, ABC News reports. A short time later, Martin encountered 28-year-old George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, who called a 911 dispatcher to report "a real suspicious guy. " When Zimmerman told the dispatcher he was going to follow the suspicious person, he was told, "We don't need you to do that," but did so nonetheless. What happened next remains in dispute. Zimmerman maintains he shot the 17-year-old in self-defense with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun. Experts say Zimmerman attorney made smart move. SANFORD, Fla.
(AP) — By questioning a state investigator on the witness stand during a routine bail hearing, George Zimmerman's defense attorney showed some of the weaknesses in prosecutors' claims that the neighborhood watch volunteer committed second-degree murder, legal experts say. George Zimmerman Photo Shows Bloody Head After Trayvon Martin Shooting. A new picture of George Zimmerman, aired publicly for the first time today by ABC News, appears to show blood dripping down the back of his head minutes after he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida.
Zimmerman stands charged with second-degree murder, but claims he acted in self-defense after Martin slammed his head into the concrete during a scuffle. The original police report from that night noted that Zimmerman was bleeding from the head and nose, but grainy surveillance footage from the police station soon after the shooting was much less conclusive than today's new evidence. The photo was reportedly taken with an iPhone by an unnamed person who said they heard the fight, but did not see it. Zimmerman told the photographer to call his wife, and when asked what to say, responded, "Man, just tell her I shot someone. " George Zimmerman apologizes to Trayvon Martin's family, could be released from jail soon. Click photo to view more images.

Trayvon Martin Cartoonist: Texas Students Petition To Reinstate Stephanie Eisner At Campus Newspaper. The cartoon by Stephanie Eisner which was published in The Daily Texan.
A group of students at the University of Texas believe their campus newspaper went too far when they fired a cartoonist responsible for a controversial illustration about the media coverage of the Trayvon Martin shooting. Stephanie Eisner, a sophomore at UT, caused an uproar for a cartoon which attempted to critique the media coverage of Martin's death and the investigation of shooter George Zimmerman.
The editors initially defended their publishing of it, but eventually removed it from their website and announced Eisner was no longer on staff. The dismissal of Eisner and backlash from students spurred UT student Samian Quazi to start an online petition asking The Daily Texan editors to reinstate Eisner. Quazi used to be an opinion columnist for the paper, although he says he doesn't personally know Eisner.

I do not desire nor crave that sort of power, nor am I what you call an expert in the battlefield of politics," the Admiral muttered, striding in a confident manner down the Citadel's balcony walkway over the cliff-side of the capitol's ocean harbor below, "I'm content with my lot in life as being a humble soldier and servant of the Senate and People of the Republic."

Georgia Receives Failing Marks for Third Straight Year
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, Lung Cancer Alliance-Georgia (LCA-GA) issued its 3rd Annual Report Card on Lung Cancer. This Report is an assessment of progress being made against this lethal disease in the state of Georgia. LCA-GA is a chapter of Lung Cancer Alliance (LCA), the only national organization dedicated exclusively to patient support and advocacy for people living with or at risk for lung cancer.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081016/LCALOGO)
Lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer deaths nationally, as well as among Georgian men and women, resulting in 30 percent of all cancer deaths in the state. This year alone, 5,980 Georgians will be diagnosed and 4,570 will die from the disease --- more than the combined total of breast, prostate, and colon cancers.
"Despite these alarming statistics, the Georgia legislature and Georgia Cancer Coalition have virtually ignored lung cancer and its impact on citizens throughout the state," said Ed Levitt, LCA-GA Chair. "State funding for lung cancer prevention, early detection, better treatments and research must increase if we are going to see a reduction in mortality rates in Georgia."
"For the third straight year, LCA-GA has laid out their commitments to reversing the decades of stigma and neglect associated with lung cancer," said Laurie Fenton Ambrose, LCA President and CEO. "They have an incredible team in place willing to work with other organizations who share their common goals laid out in their 2008 Report Card on Lung Cancer."
The LCA-GA 2008 Report Card on Lung Cancer uses seven categories to
annually grade progress in key benchmarks areas, in order to alert Georgian
public health and public policy leaders and state residents to what needs
to be done to address lung cancer appropriate

What is CIT?
What is CIT?
CIT (Crisis Intervention Team) programs are local initiatives designed to improve the way law enforcement and the community respond to people experiencing mental health crises. They are built on strong partnerships between law enforcement, mental health provider agencies and individuals and families affected by mental illness.
Getting Started
Community partnerships are the key to a successful CIT program. Only by working together can law enforcement, mental health providers and advocates improve the way a community responds to a mental health crisis.

While members of Congress also have staffers to study the issues, they rely on constituents for information. That means you.

Eighty percent of people with mental illness are unemployed, a statistic that says more about the lack of support for this group of people than it does about the economy, according to a new study. As in so many other areas of mental health, solutions to this problem exist, but simply aren't utilized, says Mary Giliberti, executive director of NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Pui Cheung uses various versions of the "Cinderella" fairy tale to explore multiculturalism with her students. / Joe Larese/The Journal News
- Filed Under
Pui Cheung's big idea started with a small story, one of her childhood favorites, "Cinderella."
By using versions of the classic fairy tale culled from different countries, Cheung brought a fresh approach to multiculturalism to her third-grade classroom.
"It was very cool to see the children noticing the differences in cultures and discussing them," Cheung says. "They were always eager to move on to the next one."
Her class started with the Disney telling of the fairy tale, because that was the one most kids were familiar with, then moved through five different versions including Chinese, French, African and Native American "Cinderellas."
"They were really different," Cheung says. "When we delved into the African version, it was two sisters, and one wasn't nice to the other. There wasn't even a stepmother."
In the Chinese book, Cinderella befriends a fish in a pond instead of a fairy godmother.
"The fish became her close friend," explains Cheung, "and then her stepmother becomes jealous and kills the fish. The spirit lives on and looks over Cinderella."
The simple story told different ways revealed a lot of cultural, historical and even geographical differences to the eager students, who would often come by at the end of the day to pick up one of the "Cinderella" books to read on their own, much to Cheung's delight.
And unlike the book's classic tale of evil stepmothers and back-stabbing stepsisters, Cheung's experience in bringing "Cinderella" to the classroom was collaborative .
"I didn't come up with this all on my own," she says. "The whole third- grade team worked on it. I tapped into a lot of people's knowledge, including our librarians, and it's worked out really well. "
How's that for a Cinderella story?

Gujarat chief minister meets Prime Minister Modi, BJP president in Delhi
Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel today met the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President, Amit Shah, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during her visit to the national capital.
Talking to the media about her meeting with the party president, the Gujarat chief minister said, "Gujarat will go on by-polls; I have come to discuss about the nine assembly seats and on one Lok Sabha seat of Gujarat which is going on by-polls with our national president."
The bypolls had been necessitated as BJP MLAs vacated their seats on getting elected to Lok Sabha, while the Vadodara seat has been vacated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who decided to retain Varanasi, the other constituency from where he had been elected to the Lok Sabha.

PrepXtra boys' tennis Player of the Year Lorenzo Rollhauser put Webb 'on his back'
Webb School's Lorenzo Rollhauser had a short conversation with his coach, Jimmy Pitkanen, before the Division II-A state tennis tournament.
"I'm putting this team on my back, and we're going to win state," Rollhauser told Pitkanen.
Nothing more needed to be said.
Rollhauser, a rising junior and Webb's No. 1 singles player, led the Spartans to the state championship with a 4-2 victory over University School of Jackson in the title match.
The Spartans took a 3-2 lead going into doubles against USJ thanks to singles victories by Rollhauser, Gabriel Dagotto (No. 4), and Rajeev Jadhav (No. 5).
Rollhauser and eighth-grader Thomas Loaiza had the clinching point at No. 1 doubles.
"Lorenzo took that team on his back," Pitkanen said. "He went out there to win the state for us and Webb School. He had classic resolve to win state."
It was retribution for Rollhauser. A year earlier, the Spartans led University School of Nashville 3-2 after singles in the state title match — only to lose both doubles matches 8-6.
Rollhauser was playing No. 1 doubles with then-senior Brian Carman
"It was great to come back this year and be in the same situation," said Rollhauser, the 2013 PrepXtra Boys' Player of the Year. "I think it helped a lot because I had the experience of last year's defeat. It really helped me get through."
Two days later, Rollhauser reached the Division II-A state singles championship match against St. George's Marshall Sullivan.
That match didn't go Rollhauser's way — he lost 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 — but he hopes to get another shot in 2014.
"I'm satisfied with getting to the final," Rollhauser said. "I guess I regret a little bit not winning, but it was a great match, and he's a really good player. There's not much I can do about it, but I hope next year I can get it done."
Rollhauser will be working to get it done between now and then. He plays tournament tennis year round — along with his older sister Niki and younger brother Fausto.
They took up tennis years ago in their home country of Argentina, where their father, Dr. Carlos Rollhauser, was a tournament player as a junior.
Dr. Rollhauser got a job in Knoxville and moved along with his family here when Lorenzo was 5.
Lorenzo played soccer and tennis growing up, but eventually quit soccer to focus on tennis.
"I just liked (tennis) a little more because I could depend on myself," he said. "I just liked it because it's an individual sport."
Pitkanen said Rollhauser has the ideal mental game for tennis. You can never tell if he is winning or losing, the coach said. He shows little, if any, emotion on the court.
"Lorenzo has the perfect temperament for tennis," Pitkanen said, "and I love the way he competes."
It comes naturally.
"I've just always been like that," Rollhauser said. "I've never really shown how frustrated I am when I'm down, and I don't celebrate much when I'm winning."

The Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) is a non-profit organization, founded in Chicago, Illinois, United States, by pianist/composer Muhal Richard Abrams, pianist Jodie Christian, drummer Steve McCall, and composer Phil Cohran. Early members included Henry Threadgill, Anthony Braxton, Jack DeJohnette, Wadada Leo Smith, Leroy Jenkins, Amina Claudine Myers, Adegoke Steve Colson, Chico Freeman, George Lewis and the Art Ensemble of Chicago: Lester Bowie, Roscoe Mitchell, Joseph Jarman, Famoudou Don Moye, and Malachi Favors. The AACM is devoted "to nurturing, performing, and recording serious, original music," according to its charter. It supports and encourages jazz performers, composers and educators.
The AACM was formed in May 1965 by a group of musicians centered on pianist Muhal Richard Abrams who had organized an Experimental Band since 1962. The musicians were generally steadfast in their commitment to their music, despite a lack of performance venues and sometimes indifferent audiences. From 1969 the AACM organised a music education program for inner-city youths.[1] In the 1960s and 1970s AACM members were among the most important and innovative in all of jazz, though the AACM's contemporary influence has waned some in recent years. Many AACM members have recorded widely: in the early days on the Delmark Records Avant Garde Jazz series and later on the Black Saint/Soul Note and India Navigation labels, and to a lesser extent on the Arista Records and ECM labels.[2]
The musical endeavors of members of the AACM often include an adventurous mixing of avant-garde jazz, classical, and world music. The AACM also ran a school, The AACM School of Music, with classes in all areas taught by members of the AACM. The AACM also had a strong relationship with an influential sister organization, the Black Artists' Group (BAG) of St. Louis, Missouri. The AACM has received aid from the MacArthur Foundation and has a strong relationship with Columbia College. A Power Stronger Than Itself: The Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians by George Lewis, has been published by the University of Chicago Press (May 2008).[3]

Hardy's Nottage Hill Freshcase – new packaging concept
From the press release: "Ever opened a bottle of delicious, premium wine one evening and gone back for a second glass a week later, only to find that the wine is past its best?" No, that's never happened to me (wine doesn't have a fighting chance in my house) but I do know people who don't finish off a bottle in one sitting, they may even save it for (gasp!) a week ( Hi, Mom!). Hardy's, the Australian producer, has come up with a nifty new bag in a box (Freshcase) which I received the other day to help those poor souls out. The big brands seem to lead the way in innovation, always willing to try something new, so here is the next big thing… Hardy's is calling their new brand the Hardy's Nottage Hill Freshcase and it's big innovation is not only the volume, it holds 2.25 litres (equivalent of 3 bottles) but is 70% lighter then 3 conventional wine bottles, takes up much less space in the fridge and they say it will keep the wine for up to 6 weeks! That's gotta be some willpower on the consumers part for it to last 3 weeks. But I digress. The new packaging is pretty slick and sturdy looking but surprisingly light. They've thought of everything, the white wine box even has a little stand which lets the bottle sit at a downward angle in the fridge so you'll be sure to get every last drop. The best part is that it's 100% recyclable and made from sustainable stocks. The case box comes apart very easily for you to recycle. There is even a video on youtube to show you how easy it is to pull apart, which is a good thing because I was debating whether or not to just finish off the wine and rip open the box! At the moment, there are two wines being produced, a chardonnay and a cabernet/shiraz blend. I opened the cabernet/shiraz a week ago and have been periodically having a glass in the...read more

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Doozers Perfume Oil Review
Doozers is one of the several Black Phoenix Aclhemy Lab Perfume Oils inspired by Fraggle Rock. BPAL launched a Fraggle Collection a few months ago and I've been slowing reviewing each one.
Being a fond fan of the Fraggles these perfume oils definitely tickled me as must have items. Perhaps I'm giving away my age but I remember watching the Fraggle as a child, needless to say after Jim Henson passed all of his muppet creations just weren't the same. Just a note, as much as I am in love with and willing to have Jason Segel's baby I couldn't watch more than 15 minutes of him singing in the new Muppet Movie….I couldn't finish it. It was cringe worthy. Did I miss anything good?
Now about those Doozers….
Doozers have the most thankless job in the world. They are tiny little green critters, quite cute, who spend long days constructing intricate roads, buildings, bridges, and more made from radish dust. Now here are these hard working critters creating these super elaborate buildings and in come Fraggles who basically destroy and eat those buildings. WTF!? Thankless job I tell you! But the Doozers don't seem to mind as if the Fraggles didn't eat their work they'd run out of building space!
Still if I broke my back making something and someone came in crushed and ate it I'd be all kinds of pissed.
There was actually one episode in the series where one Fraggle, maybe Red? Who proceeded to boycott eating their buildings because she realized how hard they worked but it turned out the Doozers would have to move away from Fraggle Rock and possibly die if they couldn't build. So in the end….these little green creatures slave away creating radish dust buildings for a buncha Fraggles.
I dunno…as a kid it seemed logical as an adult I'm sitting here thinking WTH!?
Let's just get on with the perfume review. My brain hurts trying to understand Henson logic.
I admit the Doozers were one of my favorite characters. They were so cute but there voices were shockingly New York accented, "Hey, Yo, forgettaaboutit!" Shrug! You'd expect a cute voice to come out of that little body.
BPAL describes this as glittering crystals, soft soil, and radish dust. That's actually kinda right…I mean if glittering crystals smell like a clean, fresh ozone….this has a fresh ozone-y note on first application with a dry down that goes laundry-fresh…kinda cotton-y….in the back ground you can definitely smell freshly turned dirt and a hint of radish. There's a little bit of baby powder as well!
I actually don't like the scent. I like fresh blends but I'm not a big freshly laundry-ed fragrance fan unless Clean is the one doing it. This basically has a powdery dry down with a fresh laundry scent with a surprisingly playful twist of sweet radish. It's very fresh and clean smelling…
It also happens to be very strong. The scent has a long linger and a fairly good throw.
If you like clean, fresh, slightly ozone scents that remind you of sheets drying on the line during a Summer-y day you'll probably adore this!

You missed Dave Grohl as Animal! I actually like the new Muppet movie and thought that it was done with a lot of love towards the originals. Maybe with the craptastic weather we're supposed to be getting later today, give it another try. We have the first three seasons of The Muppet Show on DVD and love watching them on a yuk day. Pigs In Spaaaaccceeee!!!!
3/6/13 12:31 carrie:
I got the entire Fraggle Rock boxed set for my daughter (and myself OF COURSE!!) For Xmas last year. Jim Henson is my idol. And I love that I can get my daughter into this as opposed to suffering through iCarly or something (shudder)
3/6/13 17:08 carrie:
Of course it was! She loves it. Of course I raised her on Henson… at age 3 her imaginary friend was named Hoggle and for xmas that year she wanted a David Bowie CD in her stocking. Lol. Now she is 11 (and my son is 9) and we all like to watch a lot of the same shows together. Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, Face Off, Doctor Who and the Walking Dead.
3/7/13 12:15 carrie:
Well I named my daughter Eowyn from LOTR and my son Damien so there was NO way they couldn't like sci-fi/fantasy/horror. No child of mine will dislike these things! Hehe. Kidding. But they ended up enjoying them with me so YAY!
3/7/13 13:51 carrie:
You're too sweet! (Blush) and you're mine! I love your blog. I've had to teach my kids to love their inner nerd / weirdos. Dare to be different! I mean, where we live most of the moms are still married and are pretty homogeneous looking. For a while it upset my daughter that I wasn't…but now she embraces it. I guess when middle school hits having a mom with tats who likes metal and punk and whatnot isn't embarrassing anymore!
3/7/13 17:57 carrie:
Weirdos unite! Lol. The only thing that seems to embarrass my daughter is that I'm a huge like gigantic Chicago Bears fan. Which seems odd to me considering the many weirder and quirkier things I'm also into. Lol
3/6/13 12:48 Tammie:
Wow as a kid I never realized the Doozers had a symbiotic relationship with the Fraggles lol. I always thought the Fraggles were just being jerks!
3/6/13 16:49 Tammie:
It probably all went under my head at the time haha…I was more the Sesame Street crowd when I watched!
3/6/13 16:49 Tammie:
It probably all went over my head at the time haha…I was more the Sesame Street crowd when I watched!
3/6/13 12:58 JoElla:
"Down at Fraggle rock, down at Fraggle Rock boom boom"
Great now that is stuck in my head! LOL
3/7/13 17:01 Cristi:
It was Mokey. She even had this like, little televangelist crowd singing songs about not eating the constructs and whatnot. lol
Thanks for the BPAL review. Always glad to see 'em. :3

Map out your bucket list trip.
You don't have to be able to leave tomorrow, or even this decade, to start planning the trip of a lifetime. Where will you go? What will you see? Who will you visit? Why?
of adventure, connection, and change making.
You don't have to be able to leave tomorrow, or even this decade, to start planning the trip of a lifetime. Where will you go? What will you see? Who will you visit? Why?
I want to visit the Hagia Sofia.
I love seeing everyone's bucket list trip! So fun!!
I love to travel and I hope to see Monaco,Turkey, South Africa, Prague, Iceland, and Austria soon :)
This has been on my unofficial to-do list for awhile! I already have the goal of visiting all US National Parks and want to visit plenty of places abroad, from Russia to Istanbul to Rio to New Zealand to more places in Africa (my inaugural trip to Kenya was in 2009 and I want to see so much more). Love seeing everyone's ideas and goals.
I love Bucketlist Maps! I love Simon Schuetz's maps: http://magazine.good.is/articles/this-bucketlistmap-will-include-all-your-favorite-spots-in-the-world. My Bucketlist Map includes South America, Japan, Thailand, and Iceland!!!
A couple of weeks ago, my roommate gave me her Doctors without Borders map and told me go to crazy, and crazy I went. I tagged a little pink post-it to all of the countries I've imagined living and working in. There wasn't necessarily a theme when I started, but after seeing all of the small pink flags sporadically laid out on the map, I realized I love the coastline. At first, I thought it was the combination of the seafood culture, laid back lifestyle, and access to ports that attracted me to these coastline cities like Lima and Cape Town. But in reality, it's their strategic geographic locations that make them leading innovation hubs in design, social entrepreneurship, and environmental practices. I'd love to witness this energy and enthusiasm first-hand!
One thing that I wish I had is a deeper connection to my family history. We are Italian, but aside from eating absurd amounts of pasta and having extremely large (and loud) family gatherings, I don't have much of a connection with my heritage.
My bucket list trip definitely includes a few stops in Italy to visit and learn about the cities where my family is from. We are southern Italians through and through. On my father's side we are from Bari and Calitri, and on my mother's side we are from Naples.
Not exactly sure when I'll be able to actually do that trip, but never too early to start planning, right?

Although Asia will remain the global growth leader, vulnerabilities associated with increased domestic and foreign debt are rising. Potential growth is likely to slow, reflecting weaker productivity gains, and the effects of aging populations and infrastructure bottlenecks in some countries.
The report finds that monetary and fiscal policy settings are broadly appropriate, but boosting resilience and potential growth remain top priorities, with structural reforms continuing to play a big role. The report also explores Asia's role in global value chains and the factors affecting financial integration within Asia.

IMF Executive Board Discusses the Adequacy of the Fund's Precautionary Balances
Press Release No. 14/75
March 7, 2014
On February 5, 2014, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reviewed the adequacy of the Fund's precautionary balances.1
Precautionary balances are one element of IMF's multi-layered framework for managing financial risks. These balances, comprising retained earnings held in the Fund's reserves and the Special Contingent Account (SCA-1), are ultimately available to absorb possible financial losses, thereby helping protect the value of reserve assets represented by member countries' positions at the Fund and underpinning the exchange of international reserve assets through which the Fund provides assistance to countries with financing needs.
This review of the adequacy of the Fund's precautionary balances took place on the standard two-year cycle. In conducting the review, the Executive Board made use of the framework agreed in 2010. This framework provides an indicative range, linked to developments in IMF total credit outstanding, that is used to guide decisions on adjusting the target for precautionary balances over time.
Executive Board Assessment2
Executive Directors welcomed the opportunity to review the adequacy of the Fund's precautionary balances on the standard two-year cycle. They emphasized that an adequate level of precautionary balances remains essential to help mitigate credit risks and protect the value of members' reserve positions in the Fund. They considered the adequacy of precautionary balances a key element of the Fund's multi-layered framework for managing credit risks, which includes the strength of the Fund's lending policies and its preferred creditor status.
Directors generally agreed that the current rules-based framework for assessing the adequacy of precautionary balances, adopted in 2010, remains broadly appropriate. At the same time, they reiterated the continued importance of judgment and Board discretion in light of a broad assessment of financial risks facing the Fund. They saw a need to keep the framework under review and refine it as warranted by experience in its application.
Directors observed that, while the overall balance of risks facing the Fund remains broadly unchanged since the last review, some risks have moderated, reflecting the small decreases in credit outstanding and the forward-looking credit measure, and the decline in market perceptions of correlated risks. Directors noted, however, that the Fund still faces large concentrated exposures, mainly to euro area countries, and that this regional concentration is expected to remain high for some time, given the lengthening of the average maturity of Fund credit. A number of Directors noted that, while the situation in the euro area appears to have improved since the time of the last review, recent developments in emerging markets deserve more attention in assessing the adequacy of precautionary balances.
In light of these developments, Directors broadly supported retaining the current indicative target for precautionary balances of SDR 20 billion. They noted that this target is close to the mid-point of the updated indicative range derived from the framework. A few Directors, however, favored setting a target closer to the upper end of the range, noting continued uncertainties over global economic conditions and the possibility that Fund lending could increase rapidly. Some Directors saw the benefits of complementing the current assessment by linking the precautionary balance target more closely to the Fund's credit capacity, which has increased further as a result of the 2012 bilateral borrowing agreements, while a few other Directors did not view credit capacity as a useful indicator for setting the target.
Directors reiterated the importance of maintaining a minimum floor for precautionary balances to protect against an unexpected increase in credit risks, particularly after periods of low credit, and to ensure a sustainable income position. They agreed that this floor should remain at SDR 10 billion for the time being, although a few would have preferred a higher floor. Directors noted that this issue should be revisited in the future now that reserves have exceeded the floor for the first time under the framework, and as the longer-term evolution of credit becomes clearer and the implementation of the Fund's new income model progresses.
Most Directors agreed that commitments under precautionary arrangements should continue to be taken into account judgmentally when setting the specific target for precautionary balances. A number of Directors remained of the view that these commitments should instead be included in the calculation of the credit measure, or be taken into account more explicitly under the framework. Many Directors urged staff to continue to monitor this issue, including at the time of the next review, in light of experience.
Directors noted the projected steady increase in reserve accumulation. They looked forward to the forthcoming discussions of policies that can affect the pace of reserve accumulation.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has talked about his separation from his longtime wife, Maria Shriver, at an event in Los Angeles.
"We both love each other very much ... and we are taking it one day at a time," he reportedly said, noting that he had spoken to her just an hour earlier.
The New York Daily News reports that Shriver walked out on Schwarzenegger a few weeks ago, but the couple still sees each other "all the time."
But gossip website TMZ reports that the split is not quite so amicable, and that Shriver was contemplating separation for years as she found Schwarzenegger "impossible" to live with.
The Arnie-Maria Split jokes started soon after Schwarzenegger and Shriver announced their separation Monday.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, an Austrian-born movie star turned governor of California, and Maria Shriver, a journalist and member of the powerful Kennedy family, were married for 25 years. The couple has four children.
Shriver, 55, and Schwarzenegger, 63, are already living apart, according to Forbes, which ranks Shriver as one of the most powerful women in the world.
In a joint statement, they said: "This has been a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us. After a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion, and prayer, we came to this decision together."
CBS News noted that Shriver was spotted over the weekend without her wedding ring, while the Atlantic pointed out that Schwarzenegger had not talked to his wife about including her in his Governator comic/animated series, which should have been a red flag.
Time gives a timeline of the couple's relationship — from their introduction at a charity tennis tournament to January this year, when Schwarzenegger ended his seven-year term as California governor — in an effort to pinpoint what went wrong.
Twitter was abuzz with movie puns related to the split, according to Hollywood reporter.
"Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger R getting divorced. Let me guess after Maria kicked Arnold out the house Arnold replied I'll be back," quipped Holy_Reyes, according to the Reporter.
Shann318 Tweeted, "Schwarzenegger marriage has reached the "End of Days". I hope there is no "Collateral Damage" and he doesn't get a "Raw Deal". :)"
On a Facebook page devoted to Shriver, fans offered blessings and good wishes.
The separation also focused new attention on a YouTube video Shriver made earlier this year. The video, posted March 28, has Shriver facing a camera to talk about the stresses of making a major transition in one's life.
