Even the Australians took note of Vivek Kundra's ascent.
Glenn Irvine, a blogger for the Australia-based Collaborative View, picked up on the story by the Washington Post, noting in particular Kundra's affinity for social media.
The role of social networking in President Barack Obama's campaign "will no doubt undergo some significant analysis by political organisations around the globe for the major affect they had in the campaign," Irvine writes.
Australian politicians "could learn a lesson or two" from the Obama team, according to Irvine. The "information and communications technology" industry would be happy if they did.
"I feel President Obama has shown some modern thinking and leadership that the [information and communications technology] industry can take heart in. The very creation of Federal CIO and CTO positions highlights the critical importance of ICT in our current World. Australia's politicians should seriously take note."

About Blind Guardian
Forming in the small German town of Krefeld, Blind Guardian perfected a fusion of gothic- and fantasy-tinged European power metal with the velocity and technical precision of speed metal. Members Hansi Kürsch (vocals, bass), Marcus Siepen (guitar), André Olbrich (guitar), and Thomen Stauch (drums) initially called themselves Lucifer's Heritage, but elected to change it when a 1986 demo tape began to achieve underground popularity. They signed with the No Remorse label and issued Battalions of Fear in 1988, following it with Follow the Blind a year later, which helped make a name for the band in Japan. Released in 1990, Tales from the Twilight World became an underground hit in Germany and led to a deal with that country's division of Virgin Records; their major-label debut, Somewhere Far Beyond, was released in 1992. After 1993's live Tokyo Tales, Blind Guardian hooked up with former Metallica producer Flemming Rasmussen for 1995's Imaginations from the Other Side. Issued in 1996, The Forgotten Tales was a collection of covers and alternate versions, setting the stage for 1998's Nightfall in Middle-Earth, a Tolkien-inspired concept album that finally became the band's first American release a year later. Century Media began reissuing portions of the band's back catalog in the U.S. the same year. In 2002, the band released A Night at the Opera, and followed up four years later with A Twist in the Myth. The German power metal quartet released its ninth studio album, At the Edge of Time, in 2010, followed by a compilation of re-recorded and remixed songs called Memories of a Time to Come in 2012. In 2015, the band returned with their tenth studio long-player, Beyond the Red Mirror, a concept album and sequel to 1995's Imaginations from the Other Side. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi

Some folks never miss a good opportunity to be obnoxious. Would be rather tough to know he was going on a Mormon mission, if the article never mentioned religion. Really really?

What a great example! How wise to realize that love is more powerful than hate. This young man led by being kind and then everyone else realized that they needed to follow his good example. I think that we often spend too much time trying to correct misbehavior without trying to encourage good behavior. Maybe if we all spent a little more time in our lives encouraging positive behavior and attitudes instead of focusing on the negative, we would all be happier. It is never too late to begin. And as this young man knows, it all starts with each one of us.

dragonchild, I've never used C::A (or C::P), but why must the runmode be in a hidden field? Why not have the submit button be the runmode value? For example:
If the "Save" button is clicked, the "Save" runmode will be called. If the "Add more data" button is clicked, that runmode will be called.
The only limitation is that either your button text or runmode names will be ugly.

Vipers Acquire Christian Polk

He scored a season-high 21 points on two occasions, first on Nov. 30 in a home loss to Sioux Falls, and again on Jan. 7 against Reno at the NBA Development League Showcase.
Polk began his college career with Arizona State, where he played for the Sun Devils from 2006-08. Then, he played two seasons at The University of Texas-El Paso from 2009-11, where he averaged 10.6 ppg for the Miners.
Polk is expected to join the Vipers Friday, April 19, when the team travels to Tulsa for Game 1 of the NBA D-League Semi-Finals. RGV will be back at home Sunday, April 21 when they host Tulsa in Game 2 at 5 p.m. at State Farm Arena.

Despite the insane heat that day, we had a good time. CityRace asks a series of questions about a defined particular part of Los Angeles and your team must run around to answer them - so you learn things you did not know about that area and also get a workout. This particular version also directed teams to locate hidden "keys" throughout the race in order to open a prize box. I did not enjoy this race as much as their Chinatown race (the only other one I've done), since the questions were more esoteric and not easily solved without benefit of internet searches. By contrast, one could solve nearly all the Chinatown race questions by looking around carefully or asking people. But we still had fun and learned a lot.

Whew...it was a hot, hot day. The race itself was fun, but really really difficult without someone standing by, a phone call away, looking the clues up on google as the capabilities of our cellphone internet search function was not sufficient. ...continued

This was our first race, and we definitely consider it to be a practice run, since we didn't really know what to expect. Now that we do, we'll definitely be doing another one.

It was a great adventure hunt. It's actually our second time out to a race la event. This one was much more difficult than the average race la events, I'm assuming because there are keys involved. We also ended up using our phones with internet...continued

A warrant of fitness scheme to improve the health and
safety of New Zealand's rental houses is coming under fire
for being too strict while others are saying it is just the
first step. Dan Hutchinson explores the latest
A Dunedin property investors' spokeswoman says she does not
believe any of the 125 houses trialled under a new warrant of
fitness (Wof) scheme have passed the test.
Those involved in the trial refused to release any results of
the tests that were done over the past few weeks on houses in
five cities around the country, including Dunedin.
The Wof-style checklist was developed at the University of
Otago (Wellington) and the trial is run by the New Zealand
Green Building Council.
Otago Property Investors Association president Wendy Bowman
said there were so many criteria to pass in the Wof that no
house could pass first time around.
She had been in contact with some of those involved in
organising and conducting the trials and would be interested
to see the report when it was released in about two weeks.
''Actually, I don't think any [houses] in New Zealand have
passed or would pass. Even the newer ones, I don't think
would pass.
''The Dunedin City Council didn't expect any of their
properties to pass, so it is basically putting out a tool to
see how it works.''
About half of the 25 properties that were tested in Dunedin
are understood to be council flats but the council's events
and community development manager, Rebecca Williams, would
not confirm they had failed to make the grade.
''That is speculation at the moment until we get the report
... I am not prepared to comment on that until the report has
been released, so, yes I do know, but there is a process in
Local authorities and private investors in Dunedin,
Christchurch, Wellington, Tauranga and Auckland are all
involved in the trial.
The checklist is based on research by the Housing and Health
Research Programme, led by University of Otago (Wellington)
professor Philipa Howden-Chapman. It also has the support of
the Accident Compensation Corporation.
Mrs Williams said it was ''a trial of a tool'' and they were
a long way from anything being mandatory.
''We have always been really clear that on the whole we think
landlords are doing a great job. However, there is a need to
improve New Zealand's housing stock and this is a way of
doing that.''
Ms Bowman said if property investors were made to comply with
''a blanket approach'' then the costs for tenants would go
There was already pressure on landlords to provide effective
insulation and heating and they would struggle to rent out
their properties if they were not up to scratch, she said..
A lot of the items in the Wof were small things that were not
found in most houses and others were things that should be
fixed anyway, she said.
''If someone trips, you have to have a hand rail there in
case they fall over ... and, believe it or not, ensure there
is flushing water in the toilet.''
There will be a meeting of interested parties next month.

Do you own rental property TomH?
If so you will realise that a landlord has to pay for the
property, which may have a mortgage; pay ridiculous rates;
Pay any and all repairs tenants and their friends are
responsible for but may not pay for (bond is usually only 2
weeks rent); pay insurance, which is up 20% in the last year;
pay plumbers and electricians, and maybe the DCC for new bins
that tenants break; do all the gardening (tenants do not do
much of that); pay at least $100 to advertise the property
for new tenants' and clean and repair before the next tenants
come in and begin it all again.
Landlords are always wondering whether tenants will pay the
rent; whether they will they keep the agreement and not get a
dog when you are not looking; whether they will they smoke
inside, disregarding the rental property agreement; whether
they will keep communication open or close off and make me
chase after them; and whether they will start a P lab.
Most landlords provide good, clean, warm dry, cheap
accommodation for most tenants. But soon there could well be
a dearth of rental properties because rental property rates,
insurance and mortgages are going up, up, up.
"Dunedin is known NZ wide for the shocking state of many of
its students rentals." You know what, Dunedin Born?
I couldn't give a toss about "student" rentals.
If landlords take advantage of their readiness to pay
high rent to live in low-grade housing that is close enough
to the university to save them time getting to classes that's
their choice. If Dunedin Born were to take notice of
non-student rentals choices other than in Dunedin she would
find real issues to worry about. Workers, families in
Christchurch? People crowded into cold shabby houses
and garages and sleepouts and cars and caravans and sheds in
Auckland because they cannot find housing of any standard,
that they can afford. Let's not make too much fuss
about poor ickle helpless students - they've got more access
to accommodation assistance and advice than beneficiaries and
miminum-pay workers anywhere, and they have more access to
loans at reasonable (not extortionate) interest rates.
Of course there won't be a shortage of rental housing -
landlords are not going to pull their properties out and just
leave them sitting there without any return unless they are
loaded and are just trying to prove a point, if so then they
obviously can afford to do any required work.
And if they do decide it is too tough and sell up, well the
people who buy the property will either live in it
themselves (shock, horror - family buys ex-rental house
to own and live in) or do the required work and rent it out.
At this point in time landlord property owners have one of
the best markets in the world with no capital gains tax on
investment properties, I shed no tears at all for them.
Well Ms Bowman, if you think it is too tough, than present an
alternative check list. That way we would know you and
your association take the needs of tenants seriously.
Dunedin is known NZ wide for the shocking state of many of
its students rentals. Why some landlords think they should
get away with no regulations escapes me.
I read the article and as a landlord I find it hard to
believe that the basic essentials are not somehow
manditory. A flushing toilet would be one, safety
related issues like handrails should be another.
Insulation and effective heating and ventilation would also
be on my list. That's only right. Frankly,
no landlord should offer a house for rent that he/she
wouldn't live in themselves. And if they 'can't afford' to
make those basic improvements to their properties then they
shouldn't be in the rental business.
Hopefully the WOF test doesn't create a homelessness problem.
If a high proportion of rental accommodation is taken off the
market because they all fail the WOF test then I cant see
anything else happening. Maybe the council can build more
bridges to sleep under for people that cannot find any rental
Certainly some rental accommodation is best renovated with a
bulldozer. But there is a huge bulk that is very acceptable
and at the end of the day it's a tenant's choice, if it's up
to scratch, or they would rather look elsewhere . My point
is, if the Warrant of Fitness is so tough, and 90% of the
houses fail, deemed too expenive to repair and now not a
return on the expended monies, wouldn't that create a huge
rental pool depletion ?.. I know some are going to say good
to that, others would say that's great as these would be sold
on to home buyers, If that is they can raise the 20%, but
there is a lot of people who don't want to buy, just rent,
what happens to those people? Just tough luck ?

Representative pushes for legislation that would allow virtual congressional hearings
A Congressman introduced legislation that would permit congress to meet in cyberspace.
The Hill reported that New Mexico Rep. Steve Pearce introduced a resolution that would let lawmakers hold hearings, debates and legislation votes via video conference.
Pearce explained that the resolution would give lawmakers more time to spend with constituents and abolish the need for lawmakers to go back and forth to Washington on the Weekends.
Thanks to modern technology, members of Congress can debate, vote, and carry out their constitutional duties without having to leave the accountability and personal contact of their congressional districts. Keeping legislators closer to the people we represent would pull back Washington's curtain and allow constituents to see and feel, first-hand, their government at work," Pearce told The Hill in a statement.
Pearce believes that a virtual work arrangement would best benefit lawmakers and make them more accountable to citizens in their home districts.

Horace Tabberer Brown (20 July 1848 – 6 February 1925) was a British chemist. He was born after the death of his biological father so his stepfather was the only father he knew. The stepfather was a banker and amateur naturalist which led to Brown's ...interest in science, which began around age 12. His younger half brother was Adrian John Brown.

Does it work on multisite?
In that case is it possible to network activate it or only site by site?
Does it work on multisite?
In that case is it possible to network activate it or only site by site?
I'm also concerned about this. I need the feature, but I'm wary since there is another post regarding an unanswerd error under multisite:
Any news?
The plugin was designed for server admins with multi-site in mind.
It works on multi-site and you can choose to enable it on a per-site basis or have it required on all sites. There is a network settings panel as well which you can set for all sites - or allow them to override the settings individually. That allows you as the admin to basically have 100% control or else allow the individual site admins some room to change the settings.
The other support post must have slipped by me but it's not really giving much info for me to go on. If somebody would install it and tell me what specifically is not working that would be helpful. I have it running on a production multi-site with 5 blogs as well as my local testing environment which is also multi-site.
Hi Jason, thanks for the quick answer.
I'll give it a try and if anything goes wrong you can bet I'll come back :)
Hi Jason, thanks a lot for this!
I didn't have any issues, I was only inquiring.
Happy to learn that it works!
Awesome! Please let me know if there are any issues.

A group of teenagers vacationing in the tropics takes a boat out to a seemingly deserted island. They soon find, however, that the island is inhabited by a wealthy recluse (Graff) and his staff. While their host is initially hospitable, he quickly reveals his true purpose: to hunt down and kill each of his visitors, as he has done with everyone unlucky enough to set foot on his island.For tropes and specifics relating to the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version, please check the episode recap.
This film contains the following tropes:
- Action Girl: Zig-zagged; Betty can flip an attacker effortlessly so long as there's a conveniently uncovered vat of acid for him to land in, but she spends just as much time acting the Damsel in Distress.
- The Alcoholic: Tony, the kids' boat pilot
- Chekhov's Skill: Betty's judo training.
- Gorn: The shot of Balleau impaled through his throat and wrists is quite shockingly graphic, especially for being shown on TV.
- Or it would be if the spikes coming out of Balleau lined up horizontally, as they did before he was impaled.
- One of the mooks getting melted by acid was also pretty graphic and not seen much in films of the time.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Balleau is impaled on the display rack he had purposed for the heroes.
- Made of Iron: Balleau's henchman survives being abandoned in leech-infested quicksand, and later shrugs off multiple point-blank gunshots when killing Balleau.
- Non-Action Guy: Pete the Nerdy Nerd
- Public Domain Soundtrack: The music for this film has been used in several others as well, perhaps most notable in The Unearthly, another film lampooned in Mystery Science Theater 3000.
- Smug Snake: Balleau.
- Together in Death: Balleau's adultrous wife and her lover end up Stuffed Into the Cave together.
- Wax Museum Morgue
- You Have Failed Me: Happens to both Balleau's primary henchman and to Tony the boat pilot who is paid by Balleau to bring him hunting victims.

This move is quickly pushing BIRT within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit once BIRT manages to clear some past overhead resistance at $7.20 to $7.30 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in BIRT as long as it's trending above its 50-day at $6.75, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that's near or above 216,730 shares. If that breakout triggers soon for BIRT, then I expect to see this stock trend well north of $8 in the near future.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A gang member has been convicted of murdering an off-duty Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy as he prepared to go to work nearly five years ago.
Jurors on Thursday found 22-year-old Jose Renteria guilty of the first-degree murder of Deputy Juan Abel Escalante. The panel also found Renteria guilty of the attempted murder of another man in 2007. He is scheduled to be sentenced March 4 and faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Prosecutors say Escalante was killed outside his home. The 27-year-old father of three wasn't in uniform and authorities say he was mistaken for a rival gang member.
The gunman, Carlos Velasquez, pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole.

I want to read Alice Hoffman but HOLY JEEPERS she's written a wide variety of books. I've had several suggestions AND my husband wanted me to test out a polling tool so I'm killing two birds with one stone!
Books Make Me Happy
Let's start by all watching this video together, shall we?
Watch the Hamilton Performance At the Grammys, Because This Wi…
Watch the Hamilton the Musical performance at The GRAMMYs, because this will be the closest most of us will ever get to actually seeing the show.
Posted by Vulture on Monday, February 15, 2016
If you've ever fallen in love with a cast recording but had NO idea what the visuals were or who the faces were behind the voices, you know how WONDERFUL the opportunity was to see that number performed. I obsessed over the Wicked cast recording for months before finally seeing the show and was shocked to find out that Nessarose was in a wheelchair. You miss details like that if all you hear are the songs from the show performed by bodyless voices. I dream of seeing Hamilton live some day, but until then? The performance above will hold me over.
Speaking of dreams…
Did you know it's my dream to open an indie books store? Ever since I went to Little Shop of Stories in Atlanta a couple of years ago I thought THIS. This is what I want to do with my life. It's tricky though because A) I know nothing about opening a business and B) I know nothing about running a book store. BUT! That doesn't mean I still don't read up on it constantly and keep my eye out for real estate property that might work for what I have in mind. This article fed my dreams a little bit.
"It's a more holistic consumerism," says Mr. Doeblin, describing the bookstore resurgence as part of the explosion of the localism movement that finds young new farmers delivering fresh produce to Main Street markets.
I mean, picture it…Me! A books store owner where I can finally be a local source for Leuchtturm1917 journals since no one in town carries them. Also? BOOKS! SO MANY BOOKS! And me! Geeking out over them with other book lovers!
Speaking of books…
I someone to compile me a list of YA series that are DONE but that ended with the reader being happy they spent the time reading them. I was so burned by Hunger Games (just felt like the last book was waaaaayyyyy too rushed) and Divergent (just didn't really even enjoy the 2nd books) and when you read a series "live" as the books are being released, you are investing SO MUCH TIME and energy into the anticipation of those books so when/if they disappoint it's SO terrible. I've decided I need to stop reading series until they're DONE so I don't invest so much energy in them, and then read them all at once – BUT ONLY IF SOMEONE I TRUST TELLS ME THEY ARE GOOD. I really like the Shades of London series but while waiting on the last release I completely forgot the other books and I just do NOT have the time to reread them.
SO! What series are completed that you've read and enjoyed?
Things Keeping Me From Getting My House On The Market
Okay – full disclosure. I spend about an hour a day doing nothing but vegging out on something. At least an hour. So if you hear me bitch about not having enough time to get my house ready? Then blame any of the things I'm enjoying during that hour. THEY ARE ALL LISTED BELOW.
(But don't bother because I'm not giving them up. I run to counter balance the natural couch potato tendencies, NOT TO ERASE THEM ALL TOGETHER.)
- TANIS – Fictional investigative drama surrounding the mystery of TANIS, is it a place? A mental state? An alternate dimension? I DO NOT KNOW.
- Limetown – Fictional investigative drama surrounding the events years past at a research town called Limetown. Everyone disappeared without a trace. OR DID THEY?
- Black Tapes Podcast – Fictional investigative drama surrounding a series of stories related to the supernatural. ARE THEY ALL CONNECTED?
- Nerdist – Chris Hardwick is an amazing interviewer and him dropping his show to once a week broke my heart. I would say just look up people you find interesting because he's done SO MANY INTERVIEWS but some of my favorite interviews were people I had never heard of.
- Pete Holmes: You Made It Weird – He's a good interviewer too and often discusses spirituality BUT – he also likes to talk about sex so it can get a little weird at times (hence the podcast) but still, he's a great interviewer and gets people to open up in interesting ways.
- Flash
- Arrow
- Legends of Tomorrow – So far, so good.
- The 100: I am only 3/4 way through season 2 and OH MY GOD THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD. I see why everyone told me to stick with it. I guess 4 episodes into season 2 it started shifting and it's AMAZING. It's also a good testament to women being great leads/badasses and also ADULTS ARE OFTEN TERRIBLE LEADERS.
- Brooklyn 99
- Modern Family
- God is not Good – This book is abrasive and I would not recommend it to any of my believer friends. But, I get really sick of the constant notion that non-believers don't have an ability to be spiritual or the motivation to be good so the book is enlightening by showing that believers aren't always the best at being spiritual or good either.
- All The Light We Cannot See – As good as everyone said it was, THANK GOD. It's been recommended so many times I was worried. It was a little slower of a read for me than some because the Point of View changes chapter to chapter so I found it easier to put down, but it was still riveting and beautiful.
- The Danish Girl – The book was such an easy read. I read it in like 2 days. I'm worried about seeing the movie now because I loved the book so much, when originally that was why I read the book – the movie looked so good!
Curating My Own To Read List
I was never great about logging books in Goodreads. I'd go through phases where I'd enter books and notes and then I'd forget for 6 months and couldn't remember what I had read. Twice I checked out books at the library that I realized I had already read because I never marked it as "read" in my Goodreads account. But I sure did keep the "books to read" shelf up to date. It was my way to keep track of recommendations, THAT list was one I spent a lot of time with.
Until it got so overwhelming I stopped looking at it anymore.
Awhile ago…maybe ay year? – or maybe longer? – I was trying to decide what to read and I pulled up that list and I couldn't even remember why I put half of the books on there. Did someone recommend them? Were they in a "Must Read!" list? Were they part of a book club I stopped going to? I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I WANT TO READ THAT BOOK. And there were just SO MANY.
So I didn't read anything because I couldn't decide.
Then I saw the preview for The Martian and saw it was based on a book and over time I heard several people express excitement because they had loved the book and I thought Well…I'm just going to read that one.
It never even made it on my To Read shelf. It was kind of an impulse. I read it. I loved it. And it was the moment I decided I couldn't use my Goodreads shelf anymore because I need to start over.
But the problem was, I quickly figured out why my To Read shelf got so full to begin with. PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS RECOMMENDING BOOKS. Friends, YouTubers, HuffPo, every day there's a new book I felt like I needed to read. But the new Cormoran Strike novel came out and I love those books and I love JK Rowling (obv) and so I read that one instead. Again. No recommendations, just read it because I wanted to.
And that's how I've decided to proceed. I just don't have a lot of time to read anymore. I hope to get more time once I'm not spending so much time on my house, but until then? I have to be really particular about what I pick up. I'm not even necessarily picking up book club books, honestly. I do have my next one on hold at the library – but I really wanted to read The Danish Girl and it came in first. So that's what I'm currently reading.
I'm taking recommendations still – my sister-in-law actually recommended The Danish Girl – but I'm weighing it with a lot of other factors. I'm also trying to read one non-fiction a month too so I'm limiting my fictions. I'm keeping a VERY short To Read list in my bullet journal with only those books that I'm actually putting on Hold at the library because I've really thought long and hard about reading them. Things I want to read for MANY reasons. Because they're the basis for a good movie, because they've been recommended by SEVERAL people, because it's a topic I find interesting.
Gone are the days where I try to read everything everyone else is reading. AND THAT IS SO HARD BECAUSE I LOVE TO READ. I want to read what you're reading! And your neighbor! And my kid's teacher! And my coach! But I can't. Not now anyway. Some day I'll have more time and then I'll check out that Goodreads shelf again, but until then? It's just one really, really deliberately chosen book at a time.
There's a dead bug on the floor of my office for a week now. I just can't muster up the energy/desire to get the broom out to sweep it up. He just sits there, on his back, feet in the air, taunting me. He had the gall to be killed (because I'm sure my cats killed him) under the lamp in the corner so he's well lit…making him much harder to ignore. YET STILL…I ignore him. Because…why does it matter? It's my office…I don't care, why should anyone else?
I tell you this so that when I brag about my two recent accomplishments, you'll maintain perspective on my life.
I also didn't shower or change my shirt yesterday. I changed everything from the waist down, but I'm wearing the same shirt that I was wearing Sunday night when I went to bed.
I ran a small 10K with the kids on Saturday. We ran this last year and it's small enough that our chances are REALLY GOOD to win prizes. And that's how we choose races! It was a self-timed race which meant that you filled out your own time card and dropped it in your age group box when you crossed the finish line. There were at least TWO cards already in my box and I thought there might have been three but I didn't take the time to count because I had to go hunt down Nikki and her friend on the course and help them finish. But I knew I saw 2 so I was pretty sure I didn't win anything.
BUT! Those two won OVERALL awards (I guess! Or maybe they were in the wrong box?) because when they were calling out my age group awards they said, "Kim Holmes – FIRST PLACE. And I died! There were cards in my box! HOW DID I WIN FIRST PLACE?) But look! FIRST PLACE! That will NEVER happen again!
Also…I made this.
It took almost a week of planning/strategizing/accumulating books of different sizes from around the house…but I did it! It's about 3 1/2 feet tall and I'm pretty sure it's stable enough that it won't fall. The top few books are a tiny bit wobbly but the rest seems good. It took WAY more of my left brain than I thought it would. But I love it SO VERY MUCH. I don't ever do this kind of stuff but my friend posted a picture of hers on Facebook and it seemed easy (it was not) and I have the PERFECT spot for it in my office…low traffic but in sight. I had to do it! And I'm glad I did but I'm wondering if I can leave it up forever now because I love it so much.
So! Two awesome things to counterbalance dead bugs and dirty clothes!

* Lawmakers say council hides criteria for systemic firms
* Insurers, hedge funds anxious for answers
* Fed proposal on criteria scant on details
By Christopher Doering and Rachelle Younglai
WASHINGTON, April 14 The U.S. risk council is hiding documents and needs to be more transparent in how it chooses which insurers and other major non-bank financial firms pose a risk to the financial system, lawmakers said on Thursday.
Among the key decisions the council must make is determining whether certain non-bank financial entities, such as insurance companies, hedge funds and mutual funds, pose a risk to the country's financial stability.
Firms labeled "systemically important" would be forced to abide by costly new regulations, which has raised concerns among lawmakers and scared large swaths of the financial sector.
Randy Neugebauer, the head of a House Financial Services subcommittee, said that, while the council has committed to meeting openly and being transparent, "documents reviewed by my staff clearly demonstrate that the council has kept hidden from the public view the criteria for formulating systemically important designations."
House Financial Services Committee Chairman Spencer Bachus said there is evidence the council is "using additional standards" to determine who is systemically important. He encouraged the panel to release what "metrics are being used to classify firms" in addition to what was given in Dodd-Frank.
The Dodd-Frank legislation set up the council of regulators to help avoid a repeat of the 2007-2009 crisis when American taxpayers were forced to prop up companies such as insurer American International Group Inc (AIG.N) that were at risk of destabilizing the financial system.
The Federal Reserve released in February a vague proposal on how the United States would pick out these "systemic" firms, including a two-year test to determine if a firm's predominant business is financial. [ID:nN08291091]
But the proposal leaves insurers and hedge funds guessing if they will fall under the stricter regulatory regime.
BlackRock Inc (BLK.N), the world's biggest money manager, visited the Fed in November and told staff asset management companies are not that interconnected to the rest of the financial markets.
Firms falling into a gray area are getting anxious for answers. Earlier this year, representatives from hedge funds Paulson & Co and D.E. Shaw & Co met the Fed to try to get clarity on how firms would be picked as "systemic," according to a posting on the Fed's website detailing meetings with the public on regulatory reform.
Michael Capuano, a Democratic Representative at a hearing, said the United States is in "a whole new world" of regulation and some industries have never been regulated before.
"When you come up with these regulations give them all an opportunity to be heard again as to specifically how that might impact industries you have never regulated," said Capuano. "I wouldn't expect you to be experts in those areas. Some day, but not yet."
The council is chaired by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and includes Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, as well as the heads of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Jeffrey Goldstein, a Treasury under secretary, told lawmakers the council was not close to designating firms as "systemically important." (Reporting by Christopher Doering and Rachelle Younglai)

CEDAR CITY — Southern Utah swept each individual title on Friday night as the Thunderbirds scored a season-high 195.750 victory over the Sacramento State Hornets. The win leaves the T-Birds undefeated on the year at 3-0 and perfect in the Western Athletic Conference at 2-0.
"We looked extremely good tonight," head coach Scott Bauman said after the meet. "We had to battle with a few line-up changes, but I think the bar team looked incredible and the beam and floor teams were amazing."
SUU led start to finish during the meet as Lindsey Schultz got the team out to a quick start with a meet-best 9.800 on vault to claim the title. As a team, the Thunderbirds began the night with a 48.675 and steadily increased as the meet progressed. Sacramento State began the night on bars and struggled with two falls, trailing the home team with a 47.775 after the first rotation.
The T-Birds only competed five on the uneven bars with each gymnast: Ari Lamb, Caitlin Kennedy, Brooke Cersosimo, Lauren Jeffrey and Alyssa Click scoring a 9.775 or better. Kennedy and Cersosimo led the team with career-bests of 9.800 to share the individual title. Southern Utah's team score of 48.925 was the highest this season as the lead grew to almost two points after the second rotation, 97.600 to 95.975.
SUU broke through the 49-point barrier for the first time of the season during the third rotation as the T-Birds scored a 49.050 on beam. The feat was repeated on the final rotation as the Thunderbirds scored a 49.100 on floor. Sacramento State finished the night with a pair of 47's, scoring a 47.975 on floor and a 47.000 on beam for its final tally of 190.950.
Click and Lamb were the story on beam for the Thunderbirds as the duo scored matching 9.875's, marking career highs for both gymnasts as they shared the individual title. Sophomore Michaela Chernoch also tallied a career high, scoring a 9.775 to share third place with teammate Shannon Coughlin.
Coughlin saved her best for last, scoring a meet-high 9.900 on the floor exercise to capture her third consecutive floor title of the season. SUU gymnasts swept first through fourth on the event as Lindsey Schultz (9.875), Click (9.800) and Lamb (9.775) rounded out the top scores.
Lamb also claimed the all-around title with a career-high 39.100, matching Southern Utah's season-high set by Cersosimo last week against UCLA.
Southern Utah will be back in action next week when the Thunderbirds travel to Provo, Utah for a matinee meet at Brigham Young University. The T-Birds will join Iowa State and Utah State in the quad meet, scheduled to begin at Noon in the Smith Fieldhouse.
COUGARS COME BACK: at Cleveland, Ohio, The comeback Cougars have done it again as the BYU women's gymnastics team (6-1-1) came from behind to tie No. 9 Kent State in their quad-meet Friday night and to record a season-high team score of 194.775. The score tied KSU and George Washington came in third with a 190.775. In last place was Wisconsin-Oshkosh who finished with a team score of 181.775.
"We could've done better than we did," BYU head coach Brad Cattermole said following the meet, "But we kept competing to the very end and did what we had to do in the end."
Starting on beam for the third straight meet, the Cougars were led Krysten Koval once again as the junior finished with a 9.750. The up and coming generation of BYU gymnastics showed promise with two freshmen following closely behind Koval, as Megan Bain and Raquel Willman both finished with a 9.675.
"We had a great meet tonight," team captain Jessica Villegas said. "The best part is that we keep improving each meet which is what needs to happen for us to reach our goal of nationals. Good things are definitely happening."
