A number of prominent voices have recently called for a swift nationalization of the weakest among our largest banking groups and the press has consistently identified the likely candidates as Citigroup and, to a lesser extent, Bank of America. There are many misconceptions about how a takeover of either of these behemoths could be accomplished. The longer-term negatives mean that such a nationalization should be a "last resort" measure. (Please see "Bank Nationalization: What is it? Should we do it?" for a comprehensive overview.) Even the first step of taking over the banks would be risky and difficult, as this paper will demonstrate.
Summary A swift nationalization of Citigroup or Bank of America would likely require buying out the shareholders. This action would then make it very difficult to force debtholders to bear a portion of the losses, despite the desire of many of those calling for nationalization. This protection of shareholders and debtholders results from the interaction of the structure of our banking system, the public policy rationale for regulating banks, and our constitutional protections of private property, including ownership of banks. All large banks in the U.S. are owned by holding companies, which are standard corporations, not banks. Our banking laws are designed principally to ensure the viability of the banks themselves, rather than of the holding companies. As a result, there are provisions for the swift seizure of banks that are in deep trouble, but no such provisions to deal with their holding companies. These are governed instead by standard corporate bankruptcy law, which gives the government no special control rights. The Citigroup and Bank of America holding companies retain a substantial capacity to bolster their banks by taking actions that would be painful for the stockholders of the holding companies, but less painful than allowing the government to seize the banks without compensation. This ability, combined with the substantial capital already at the banks, means that regulators would have to take quite extreme actions to justify seizing the banks. The government therefore seems to face a choice between: buying the cooperation of the holding companies; stretching the regulators' discretionary authority to seize the banks to such an extent that it could lead to major lawsuits and create panic at other banks; or putting any nationalization on a much slower track. Each of these options has major disadvantages. There would be great political resistance to "rescuing" the shareholders and creditors of banks that the public perceives to have failed abysmally. However, appearing to be ready to seize banks arbitrarily could cause a "run" on other banks by their creditors, customers, and shareholders, with each group's reactions magnifying the panic of the others. In addition, the threat of a lawsuit is not trivial. The government has already paid out large sums as a result of losing lawsuits after the Savings and Loan crisis as a result of actions that were judged to be "takings" of private property. Finally, starting the moves that could lead more slowly to seizing the banks without compensation would risk panic by key constituents of Citigroup and Bank of America, making the ultimate nationalization more costly by reducing the value of the banks in the meantime.

Nate Allen is a columnist for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. A graduate of the University of Missouri, Allen is a voter for the Heisman Trophy. He has authored three books about the Razorbacks.
Hogs need to crush a dream in opener
Arkansas forward Coty Clarke knocks the ball out of the hands of South Carolina defender Brenton Williams during the second half of a Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2014 game at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville.
FAYETTEVILLE - Even Rick Schaeffer, longtime Arkansas basketball analyst and still unflappable King of the Optimists Club when the Razorbacks trail by 30 with five minutes left, would be hard put to find a silver lining from Arkansas closing the regular SEC season with an 83-58 loss at Alabama.
Well, from a near-infinitely more skeptical source - and even Mother Teresa would have ranked to the skeptical side of Rick at the mike - here is perhaps a plus from the Hogs' troubles at Tuscaloosa heading into the SEC Tournament.
Presumably after their six-game winning streak abruptly ended in embarrassment at the hands of the Crimson Tide, who were defeated by the Hogs previously in Fayetteville, fifth-seeded Arkansas (21-10,1 0-8 SEC) won't be cavalier in its opening game at the SEC Tournament on Thursday in Atlanta against tonight's winner between 12th-seeded Auburn and 13th-seeded South Carolina.
Arkansas defeated Auburn and South Carolina at Walton Arena during the regular season. Thursday's winner will face No. 4 seed Tennessee (21-11, 11-7) on Friday
Like Arkansas, Tennessee is perched on the NCAA Tournament bubble. Surely the Arkansas-Tennessee winner would join SEC champion and top-ranked Florida and Kentucky, the preseason national No. 1 team who was ranked throughout the season but not in the latest Top 25, as NCAA Tournament teams regardless who wins the SEC Tournament and the automatic NCAA Tournament bid accompanying it.
Here's the catch. Arkansas gets no crack at Tennessee - and likely the NCAA Tournament - if the Hogs exit in the first round, as they have in every SEC Tournament since 2009.
If the Tide (13-18, 7-11) rising in Alabama doesn't remind the Razorbacks to respect their opponent Thursday, then nothing will.
Arkansas seniors Mardracus Wade and Fred Gulley say it was a lesson learned.
"The first thing is that we beat them, so they are going to come out even hungrier and ready for revenge," Wade told reporters Monday.
Actually, Thursday's opponent will have far more than revenge going for it. The Auburn-South Carolina winner will go into Thursday's game fresh off SEC Tournament success these Hogs have never tasted.
Auburn and South Carolina know they aren't on the NCAA Tournament bubble, and their only hope of advancing to the Big Dance is by winning five games in five days to capture the SEC Tournament title and the automatic NCAA bid that comes with it. But that pipe dream will suddenly seem feasible come Thursday.
"They are going to come out with just as much energy and just as much focus as we are," Gulley said. "So we know that we need to bring it."

Three members of the Class of 2015 — Samantha Flanders, Tori Miller, and Joanna Kaiser — have recently returned from a post-graduation mission trip to Port au Price, Haiti, where they worked with the Missionaries of Charity. Writes Miss Flanders:
"We began every morning at 5:00 a.m. in the chapel with morning prayer, meditations on Scripture, and Holy Mass; after which I would go and help take care of the 115 babies (mostly suffering from malnutrition) that the sisters provided care for in the compound. Once a month I would help the sisters with a food distribution to 900 needy people. We would give them 10 cups of rice and beans, 30 cups of cornmeal, 1cup of oil, 1can of tomato paste, and 1chicken. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, I would help out at the sisters' St. Joseph wound clinic. The poor people of Haiti would come in long lines and wait for us to dress their wounds, mostly third-degree burns covering their arms and legs, and injuries such as machete hacks and bullet wounds.
"The weather was very humid and balmy. Every day my clothes would be drenched in sweat, and in the afternoon the heat was usually unbearable. It is truly incredible how much the MC sisters endure. Not only do they put up with the heat but they also live in such a detached way — it is truly a beautiful vocation. The trip was an amazing experience, and I am so grateful to God for all of the benefactors who supported it, and especially to all the angels He put on my road. I was able to meet a lot of other wonderful volunteers in Haiti."
Miss Flanders and Miss Kaiser are currently continuing their journey with a 33-day pilgrimage to Spain, where they are backpacking 800 km. of the Camino de Santiago.
Greg Pfundstein ('05), president of the New York-based Chiaroscuro Foundation, recently appeared on the Canadian television program Context with Lorna Dueck to discuss the recent visit of His Holiness Pope Francis to the United States. (Interview begins at the 1:08 mark.)
Answering a question about the ostensible tension between mercy and doctrine, Mr. Pfundstein responded, "The interesting thing about mercy is that there is no mercy if there is no justice. If there is no law, if there is no sin, why does anyone need any mercy? There is nothing to forgive; there is nothing to be sorry for. So there is always this balance between upholding what is true about human nature — and what we are all called to live in our lives as Christians and as human beings — and, on the other hand, embracing people where they are, in their own struggles and their own weaknesses, and trying to draw them in." The Holy Father's approach, Mr. Pfundstein continued, is like that of Our Lord's comments to the woman caught in adultery, offering mercy while at the same time upholding truth. "It's a delicate balance," he continued, "and this pope, I think, has struck it very well."
Mr. Pfundstein also cautioned against the tendency to force papal statements into a narrowly political framework. "The American political situation is a small part of the wider world, and the Pope is speaking … to the whole world and to the Universal Church," he said. "His comments transcend our political categories, and I think it's a mistake to think of them only in those terms. If anyone feels completely comfortable with everything he says, they're probably not listening carefully. He's got something that should challenge all of us."

Br. Augustine, O.S.B. ('13)
The College has received the joyful news that on September 8 — the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary — Philip Wilmeth ('13) made his simple vows at the Monastero di San Benedetto. He is now Brother Augustine, O.S.B., and a novice at the Benedictine monastery in Norcia, Italy, birthplace of Sts. Benedict and Scholastica.
"I was so grateful to be there and share this beautiful celebration with the monks of Norcia," writes Br. Augustine's mother, Anne T. Wilmeth. "They are a wonderful community of brothers who exemplify God's grace."
Among those present for the profession Mass were four Thomas Aquinas College alumni: Br. Evagrius Hayden ('08), O.S.B., one of Br. Augustine's fellow Benedictines; Deneys Williamson ('10) and David Allen ('10), seminarians who are studying in Rome for the Archdiocese of Johannesburg and the Norbertine Fathers in Silverado, California, respectively; and Br. Augustine's brother, John Parker Wilmeth ('14), who is studying classical architecture in University of Notre Dame's graduate program.
Br. Augustine, meanwhile, recently enjoyed a home visit, during which he took a break from his duties as the manager of the Benedictines' brewery and gift shop. His voice can be heard on the community's new musical album, Benedicta: Marian Chant from Norcia.

Saints Zelie and Louis Martin
Suzie Andres ('87)
Fresh after writing her testimonial to St. Junipero Serra, alumna novelist Suzie Andres ('87) has authored a tribute to the Church's two most recently canonized saints, Louis and Zelie Martin. The Martins "are quite near to us," Mrs. Andres observes, and this proximity makes their holiness tangible — and attainable — to us, their faithful contemporaries. As such, they are a valuable and much-needed model for our time:
"Louis and Zelie's message isn't new; it's the same message their daughter has been spreading so handily for the last 120 years, the message of the Gospel. But if we ask where Saint Thérèse learned her little and very ordinary way of sanctity, the answer comes back from the Church: she learned it first in the home of her parents, whose way was absolutely ordinary. …
"The message of Saints Louis and Zelie Martin is simply this: Sanctity is not beyond our reach — it is Christ's doing, and He thirsts to do it in us. The Church will not rest until she gets this message through our very thick heads: the saints were human like we are, and we need not be daunted by their greatness. It is just such greatness that Jesus has in mind for us, the greatness of the little ones. Without Him, we are nothing, and when He makes us great, it is simply His greatness shining forth in us."
His Holiness Pope Francis canonized the Martins this past weekend on World Mission Sunday. Saints Louis and Zelie, pray for us!

Classmates: Rev. Michael Hurley, O.P. ('99) and Director of Alumni Affairs Mark Kretschmer ('99)
Sixteen years after his graduation, Rev. Michael Hurley, O.P. ('99), returned to Thomas Aquinas Tuesday night to present a vocational talk, "The Life of a Dominican Priest." Some 20 young men came to the discussion, in which Fr. Michael, the pastor of the 2,500-family St. Dominic's Catholic Church in San Francisco, described his journey to Thomas Aquinas College, his vocational discernment, and a "typical day" of shepherding souls in a busy urban parish.
Fr. Michael graduated from the College in 1999, and joined the Western Dominican Province shortly thereafter. He then studied at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology, earner master's degree in both philosophy and theology. Since his ordination in 2007 he has served various parishes in the Bay Area before becoming the pastor of St. Dominic's Church.
"What led me to the Dominicans and the Dominican life," he reflected at Tuesday's dinnertime discussion, is "very similar to the reason why I came to the College." When he was a teenager, his parents enrolled him in a fundamentalist Protestant school where his peers challenged his faith, he says, and "I became the Catholic answer guy, but I had no idea how to be the Catholic answer guy." Seeking a college experience "that would help me think about my faith in a kind of deeper, personal way," he came to Thomas Aquinas College, he says, drawn by the strong sense of Catholic community and robust sacramental life" — qualities that ultimately drew him to the Order of Preachers, as well.
Over the course of his talk, Fr. Michael took questions and spoke frankly about both the challenges and blessing of his vocation. "Let me give you my schedule from two Saturdays ago," he said. "I got up, and we celebrated the 8:00 a.m. Mass. Then I had a baptism at 10, followed by a funeral. Then we had a wedding. Then there were confessions before the 5:30 Mass. Then came the vigil Mass, after which I got a phone call, because we are on call for three hospitals in the area. Someone had had a heart attack while swimming in the Bay and was basically on life support" — and so the priest had to rush to the scene to perform an anointing.
"I have to say, at the end of the day, no doubt, I was taking a deep breath," he recalled. "But I just said, O Lord, what a life — to be able to be rejoicing with those who rejoice, weeping with those who weep."
As a pastor, he continued, he has the privilege of being an alter Christus in the lives of the faithful. "A lot of these folks I don't even know personally, but when you're a priest, when you're a Dominican, when you wear this habit, people know you in a sense. They have that sense of connection, and you can be personally Christ for them. It's not like they know who I am; they know who Christ needs to be for them. For me, there is nothing more inspiring, delightful, and wonderful."

His Holiness Pope Francis at the World Meeting of Families Mass in Philadelphia, as photographed by Emily (Barry '11) Sullivan
The College has received reports — and photos — from a number of alumni who were present for parts of His Holiness Pope Francis's visit to the United States. Among them are Emily (Barry '11) and Joe Sullivan ('09), who serves on the parish council for the Most Rev. Charles J. Chaput in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Below, the Sullivans are pictured with their two daughters before the World Meeting of Families Mass:
The Sullivan family before the World Meeting of Families Mass
Mrs. Sullivan, who works for Endow, a nonprofit organization that writes study guides for magisterial documents to be used in women's study groups, participated in a World Meeting of Families panel, "Woman: God's Gift to the Human Family," about the feminine genius and St. Edith Stein. A last-minute substitute for another speaker, she "literally had 10 minutes' notice" that she would be presenting, she reports. "Thank God for four years of learning how to articulate theological ideas well!"
Rev. Ramon Decaen ('96) waits for the Popemobile to pass by in PhiladelphiaAmong the other alumni in Philadelphia were Rev. Ramon Decaen ('96), the pastor of the Parish of Cristo Rey and diocesan director of Hispanic Ministry in Lincoln. Fr. Decaen traveled with a group of some 100 fellow Nebraskans to the City of Brotherly Love, where he had the honor of concelebrating at one of the Holy Father's Masses. … Sr. Teresa Benedicta Block, O.P. ('02), joined by three of her fellow Ann Arbor Dominicans, led a pilgrimage of 12 high school students from San Francisco to the city. … Jacob Mason ('10) a seminarian for the Diocese of Arlington, attended a brief talk from the Holy Father at Charles Borromeo Seminary, where Mr. Mason is a student and Pope Francis stayed during his visit. … Other alumni on hand for the Holy Father's trip to Philadelphia include Sarah Jimenez ('10), who works in the chancery for the Diocese of Pittsburgh, and Becky (Daly) and Greg Pfundstein (both '05), executive director of the Chiaroscuro Foundation in New York City.
Rev. Isaiah Teichert, O.S.B.Cam., before the canonization Mass for St. Junipero Serra
Meanwhile, several alumni were able to attend the Holy Father's canonization Mass for St. Junipero Serra at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. Rev. Isaiah Teichert, O.S.B.Cam. ('78), pictured above, served as a concelebrant. Among others in attendance were Aaron Dunkel ('06) and four alumni who are graduate students at the Catholic University of America: John Brungardt ('08), Joshua Gonnerman ('09), Emily McBryan ('11), and Kathleen Sullivan ('06),who provided the photo below:

To celebrate His Holiness Pope Francis's canonization of California's patron, St. Junipero Serra, Wendy-Irene (Grimm '99) Zepeda has written the following hymn:
To the tune of "For All the Saints"
O faithful saint! Apostle to the West!
Founder of missions, striving without rest!
With you we sing, Junipero the blest:
Siempre adelante! Siempre adelante!
Though suffering illness, violence and fear,
You gave His love to those God brought you near;
Your footsore journeys spoke the Gospel clear!
Siempre adelante! Siempre adelante!
Come, ring the bell you rang in days of yore,
Come, plant the Cross again upon our shore!
Bring California to Christ's heart once more!
Siempre adelante! Siempre adelante!
St. Junipero Serra, pray for us!

"My husband teaches at a college where her Emma is read senior year by every student," writes Suzie (Zeiter '87) Andres, wife of tutor Dr. Anthony Andres, in a new essay for Crisis magazine. "I object, but only because I think the work to introduce [Jane Austen] in such a universal way ought to be Pride and Prejudice, accessible to the uninitiated but still brilliant to the reader who already knows her well."
From there proceeds a glowing tribute to the author whom Mrs. Andres heralds as "The Divine Jane," and "The Novelist." Jane Austen, she observes:
"… charms 13-year-olds as well as 30-year-olds, 16-year-olds and 60-year-olds, 18-year-olds and 80-year-olds. Who can say whether the gladness one feels upon first reading her is greater or less than the mature joy one feels when returning to her for the who-knows-how-manyeth a time? You may as well compare the happiness of the convert with the beatitude of the life-long grateful Catholic, a Chesterton and a Belloc. It is safest simply to say, her charm endures."
Inspired by Austen's works, Mrs. Andres has spent the last four years composing her own recently published novel, The Paradise Project, which she describes as a "paean," but more than "a simple retelling" of Pride and Prejudice, set in modern times. Its protagonist, Liz Benning, bears a certain resemblance to Elizabeth Bennet and, like Mrs. Andres, she is a devoted reader of Jane Austen. The Paradise Project, says its author, is "a story of those, like us and so many before us, who love Jane and are nourished by her books."
The Paradise Project is Mrs. Andres' first work of fiction, following on her two previous books, A Little Way of Homeschooling and Homeschooling with Gentleness, which are available via Amazon.com. She is also, most recently, the editor of The Selected Sermons of Rev. Thomas A. McGovern, S.J.

Rev. Jonathan Perrotta ('95)Four years after his ordination as a priest in the Diocese of Lansing, Michigan, Rev. Jonathan Perrotta ('95) has been named the pastor of not one, but two parishes.
As of July 1, Fr. Perrotta is the pastor of St. Mary Parish in Durand and St. Joseph Parish in Gaines. His new positions come after four years at Holy Family Parish in Grand Blanc, where he began as the parochial vicar before being named the parish's administrator in 2014.
Fr. Perrotta sees the hand of Providence at work in his being reassigned from a parish named for the Holy Family to churches that fall under the patronage of St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mother. "I have to share with you the blessing I felt when I realized that God is still keeping me under the protection of the Holy Family," the pastor wrote in a letter to his new parishioners. "This special protection and guidance of the Holy Family started before coming to Holy Family parish, and now, it continues as I will be shepherding us at St. Mary's and St. Joseph's under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the One Shepherd. God is good."
An audio archive of Fr. Perrotta's homilies is available via the St. Mary's website.

"Consecrated virginity is lived in the world, which fits my desire to serve and to heal in corporal works of mercy," says Cara Buskmiller ('11).
On June 20 Miss Buskmiller embraced that vocation by making perpetual vows as a diocesan consecrated virgin before the Most Rev. Doug Deshotel, Auxiliary Bishop of Dallas, at the Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Shortly thereafter, she began her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the St. Louis University School of Medicine.
"The residents together cover all the women's services in the hospital, from cancer surgery to labor and delivery," she writes. "Right now, I'm working nights, which means I'm on call every night for patients staying in the hospital, and covering our six-bed women's ER."
In a recent interview with Patheos.com, Miss Buskmiller explains that her calling to consecrated virginity was in keeping with her desire "to live radically, completely at the disposal of others, especially my family and patients." Hers is "a bridal vocation, which fits my desire to be in love, to belong to Someone, and to be deeply known. At the same time, it is a quiet vocation: I will wear no habit except a ring. It is a maternal vocation, which fits my desire to carry souls, in imitation of Mary."
As an aspiring obstetrician and gynecologist, Miss Buskmiller plans to serve the needs of women and children in accordance with Church teaching and in recognition of the innate dignity of all in her care. "Practically speaking, living faithfully as an OB/GYN means that I do not prescribe contraceptives, provide primary sterilization, or participate in abortions," Miss Buskmiller says. "It further means that I get to offer women fertility awareness and natural family planning, which get more exciting with every paper that comes out about their good effects."
Yet she is not concerned about the potential difficulties of maintaining a faithfully Catholic practice in a society that is often hostile to the culture of life. "Even in a largely pro-choice culture, integrating faith in my career is not the hardest struggle I have," she notes. "That distinction goes to integrating faith with myself. … I want to be full of faith, hope, and courage to live as if God existed, as if sin was worse than death, and as if I was destined to be a great saint with an unrepeatable mission. If I can do that, integrating my faith and my career is no problem: I just drive to work."

Stayed with my Brother in Law on a trip to watch the England vs Wales rugby match (it turned out not a very good "match" - Wales were far to good) at the Orange Tree pub.
The food was good, had dinner on the Friday evening & an Irish cabbage and ham on the Saturday night! The breakfasts were v good.
We had 2 double rooms and they were clean and the electric heater was useful because the central heating was not on - it was March in the UK! Beds are comfortable but the walls are a tad thin, My toilet bowl is a little to close to the wall and some adjustments are needed to 'get comfortable'.
All in all a good stay with a friendly atmosphere

Here is your first look at the 2016 Honda CB500F, which like its other Honda brethren, will get a bit of makeover for next year. American Honda is teasing the new model now, but says it won't release more information until the EICMA show in Milan, on November 17th.
We don't think Honda will stray too far from the current Honda CB500F, with most of the modifications being cosmetic refinements that enhance the street-standard's appeal to riders.

The Old Harbor Inn is a wonderful B&B in delightful Chatham, Mass. Judy, Ray, and the entire staff are incredibly warm and hospitable. We stayed with them for our 25th anniversary, and they went out of their way to make it a special vacation weekend for us. And the food is great! The Inn is centrally located in town, easily walkable to shops, restaurants, and the movie theater.

This was the last stay on a 4 location tour of New England, and our first visit to Cape Cod and with out doubt, the most welcoming and relaxing. Ray and Judy are charming hosts who couldn't be faulted for the effort they put into making our stay just perfect - including the effort to meet my wife's dietary needs. Our room was very comfortable and well equipped with its own refrigerator, supply of snacks, TV/DVD and WiFi. Unlike many B&Bs, the breakfast area has home-made snacks and refreshments available all day which was great when popping back after a walk into the town just 5 minutes away. Although called the Old Harbor Inn, it is just off Main Street and over 1/2 mile from the shore, but this isn't a problem - Main Street has great shops and restaurants which Ray & Judy can advise upon. It was a shame we were only able to stay for 2 nights - we would recommend this Inn without hesitation.

Our children gave us a trip to Rhode Island and Cape Cod for our 50th Anniversary, which included a three nights stay at Old Harbor Inn in Chatham. We love staying at B&B's, and by far this tops our list of the best. It is nicely located in Chatham, enabling quests to walk many places of interest. Great service, great room, great breakfasts and coffee bar 24/7. And great innkeepers! We would recommend this B&B to everyone!

But...yes...there is a but, But when you click on the "Save Icon Order" the icons you tried to add will automatically disappear. So right now I'm deleting several instances of a Facebook Fan Page and a Multiply page (yes my client still uses Multiply LOL)
Just a heads up for those experience the same problem. This workaround might work for you or it might not. It worked for me, and I think one other guy. It's a little inconvenient so hopefully the plugin author will work on this on the next release.

Climate change will have a significant impact on the sustainability of water supplies in the coming decades.
A new analysis, performed by consulting firm Tetra Tech for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), examined the effects of global warming on water supply and demand in the contiguous United States. The study found that more than 1,100 counties -- one-third of all counties in the lower 48 -- will face higher risks of water shortages by mid-century as the result of global warming. More than 400 of these counties will face extremely high risks of water shortages.

Startup Advantage Lecture – Startup-up To Success (Speaker: Kelley Sloane)
When: Wednesday, January 5th, 2011
Where: Lexington Public Library Theater – Downtown Lexington – Corner of Main & Limestone
What Time: 6:00pm
How Much: FREE
Post-Lecture Meet-up: Wednesday, Jan 5th, 2011 – 7:30pm @ The Tin Roof (corner of Limestone & Maxwell).
What Is It?
One of the greatest technology start-up success stories in the last decade was headquartered right here in Lexington—Exstream Software. Exstream grew from $0 to nearly $100 million in annual revenue in less than eight years before being acquired by HP in March, 2008.
Kelley created and led the marketing organization for Exstream and will share some of the key factors and stories that were integral to this start-up success. She will also present some questions and key building blocks to think about as you build your company's success.
Website: IN2LEX Startup Advantage
Become a fan @ http://www.facebook.c...
Great to learn more about the story of Exstream, but would have liked a deeper discussion of the b2b marketing process. I think it would be valuable for our local startups (mine included) to look more closely at the world beyond consumer internet. That's a big market, with very different needs and values.

Following the Evolution of Media Technology
Tips For Integrating In-House IT Staff With Managed IT Service Providers
Managed service providers (MSPs) are a popular way for SMBs to leverage the professional talent and skill of a larger IT department without having to pay for in-house staff. But most businesses also need to maintain an internal IT staff member or two for their own IT initiatives. Integrating in-house IT staff members and MSPs can create some potential challenges, especially in the areas of redundancy. Here are a few tips. Always Outsource Mundane and Day-to-Day Tasks MSPs are highly skilled professionals, but they truly excel when it comes to automating and scheduling more mundane tasks. MSPs aren't able to go into your offices or to work on longer term projects; instead, they are designed to make it easier for your business to conduct their operations. By outsourcing your mundane yet critical tasks — such as backups and security monitoring — you'll free up your IT personnel without stepping on any toes. Set Up a Virtualized System and Remote Controls Virtualized systems are the easiest to monitor and maintain for an MSP. MSPs can create virtualized systems that can be synced, re-deployed, and accessed from anywhere — making it easier for them to remotely configure settings and troubleshoot. This gives the MSP the same information as your in-house staff, smoothing over the process of collaboration. Cloud solutions are another way that you an ensure that the MSP and your in-house staff are on equal footing. Pay Attention to Time Zones MSPs are available anywhere in the globe — but you want an MSP who is available at the same time as your in-house staff. Don't forget that many IT professionals end up working long hours. Will your IT services be around to support them if they work a few hours late? Will they be available if your IT professional comes in a few hours early? All of these time issues could potentially lead to system disruption if they are not properly synced. MSPs should always be seen as a tool to help your business and your in-house IT professionals — not as something that is designed to entirely replace them. MSPs work best when paired with skilled professionals who know how to utilize them to their fullest extent, and there are some things that it simply is not easy for an MSP to do, such as manage hardware. By involving your IT professional in the process and focusing on what the MSP can do for them, you should be able to undergo a fairly easy...read more
Why Are Some Computers Labeled For Different Uses?
Survey any electronics or computer store and you may find different labels on desktop computers and laptops/notebooks. Some may be labeled as business computers or entertainment computers, while others hold even deeper niche titles such as gaming or design computers. To understand what each term means and whether the difference truly matters, take a look at a few computer configurations. The Standard Home Computer Home computers are built to handle what most computer users need–even though the term "modern" for computing changes so often. Most users check emails, browse the web on standard web browsers, and use programs with low system requirements, such as document writing software. Current computers are often built with a multicore processor. Unlike the original personal computers with the power of a single processor to calculate, process and manage all of the activities on a computer, multicore processors have the power of multiple processors in a single package. Multicore processing is about load balancing, meaning that no single processor core will perform all of the work. Instead, the multiple cores help each other out to avoid maxing out a single processor and failing. This development is a double-edged sword, as even though multicore processing made computers faster and easier to use, new programs take advantage of the faster speeds to create better programs that eventually demand faster processors, and so development continues. Computers also have hard drives used to store files and memory to access those files faster. Memory is a sort of fast storage located closer to the processor, allowing common files to be delivered faster without slowing down the hard drive. A computer's motherboard–which connects all computer devices–has a single processor slot, multiple ports for hard drives, slots for a expansion cards such as video cards and sound card and a connection for power supplies. These connection areas are where the specialties stand out. Business Computers A business computer is the least specialized of the specific labels. A business computer is often the same as a home computer, but with a different set of pre-loaded programs. Instead of having to buy a document processing program or a spreadhseet program, office software suites are often already installed to the hard drive. Business computers also tend to be sold in bulk and tailored to a specific business. They often come with a service plan, which makes the difference between a home computer and a business computer an issue of software and policies. If you plan to purchase a secondhand business computer, you may as well have a home computer and search for the programs elsewhere. Entertainment/Media Computers An entertainment computer is a slight evolution to the home computer system. These media systems often have specialized software for video and music playback, and may have an embedded/onboard video processor. There is a noticeable playback performance boost due to the onboard video processor, and the sound quality may be better because of an onboard sound system upgrade, but these changes are often less powerful than computers with dedicated cards. Gaming Computers And Other Card Expansions Gaming computers are one of the specific systems made more powerful because of a dedicated card. A video card is used to amplify video and graphics processing power, and there are certain instructions such as shader systems that are only available on...read more
It's A Secret: 3 Strategies For Protecting Your Intellectual Property
To make the most of your business portfolio, you need to be able to leverage trades of your intellectual property, or IP. Trading your non-essential IP for products that will increase your bottom line is the best way to improve your own portfolio. However, in order to maintain control over your own IP – and prevent sabotage – you have to be able to protect your IP. Here are three ways to protect your company IP, and ensure that it goes public when you want it to – and not before. Identify All Your IP If you own a company, you probably have secrets that you wish to keep from your competitors. Those trade secrets are necessary for the prosperity of your business. Your IP, or intellectual property, is also important. If you don't know what your IP is – such as you have a separate department that generates IP – you need to familiarize yourself with it. You can't protect what you don't know you own. Take the time to identify and label each piece of IP your company owns. This will help you identify any potential theft of your IP. Utilize Confidentiality Agreements with Your Employees If you have employees handling your IP, it's important that you hold them accountable for the way they handle that information. Confidentiality agreements allow you to hold your employees accountable for any breaches that might occur as a result of their mishandling of privileged information regarding your IP or other trade secrets. Once you have confidentiality agreements in place, you should sit down with your employees once a year and go over the information included in the agreement. This will ensure that your employees remain up-to-date on the agreement they signed. Your confidentiality agreement should include a clause that prohibits employees from divulging information about your IP should they seek employment elsewhere. Limit Disclosure to Third Parties When it comes to your business IP trading, third party disclosures can spell disaster – especially if the information is disclosed to the wrong parties. Before you share your IP or trade secrets with a third party, be sure you have them sign a non-disclosure agreement. The non-disclosure agreement – or NDA is similar to the confidentiality agreement you'll have your employees sign. This agreement will prevent third parties from discussing any information they learn about your company IP. Intellectual properties are a valuable part of your business assets. The information provided here will help you protect your IP and trade...read more
How To Pay Less For Your Internet Service
If you already have an internet provider that you are happy with, but feel like you could be overpaying, then there are some tips and options you will want to take advantage of to minimize your monthly internet bill. There are several ways that you can cut costs, even without having to reduce your internet speed or deal with the hassle of switching providers. So, if you want to maximize your savings, be sure that you do the following: Rethink The Speeds You Get: When signing up for your internet service, you may have rushed your purchase and bought an internet plan that offers faster upload and download speeds than you actually need. Well, if you are not utilizing the full potential of your internet's speed, consider contacting your provider and inform them of what you are using your internet for. If you are only checking social media, emails, and doing some light browsing, they will be able to find a great plan for your needs so you can obtain the speeds you need, without having to pay top dollar for a plan that you aren't benefiting from. Utilize Your Own Equipment: If you are using the modem or router that came with your service, consider returning these items to your provider and purchasing your own internet equipment. Internet service providers do offer a monthly rental fee, which can add up on a yearly basis. So, instead of constantly paying this monthly fee, buy your own hardware that you can utilize for years to come because this will be far cheaper in the long run. Bundle All Your Home Services: A great way to reduce the cost of your internet service is to add other services to your account. Many internet service providers not only offer internet service but other home features as well, like cable and home phone lines. These added features will allow you to obtain discounts as most providers offer multi-service discounts for their customers that have more than just one service from them. So, by taking advantage of this, you could likely save across all of your home services and not just your internet plan. Applying these tips to your existing internet plan will help you save on your internet service, which can add up on an annual basis. So before you deal with the complications of switching to a new provider just to save on your internet service, be sure to reap the benefits that these tips and options can provide as they will definitely help you maximize your monthly savings. For an internet service provider, contact a company such...read more
3 Technology Needs For A New Business
Technology plays a big role in how successful a business is. In today's fast paced world, new businesses especially need to be technologically capable in order to compete in an ever advancing marketplace. A solid technological foundation is necessary in order to be able to provide goods and services to customers across the country and even across the world. A new business should invest in things such as hardware, software, and even IT consulting in order to increase their odds of being successful. Hardware Hardware may seem like a complicated term to those who are not technologically savvy. What hardware refers to is anything that can be touched in a computer system. Examples of this include hard drives, disks, screens, monitors, printers, and much more. There are many important hardware options that a new business should consider. These include network servers, different types of computers that have different uses, network equipment, projectors, mobile hardware, and printer systems. The goal is to have equipment that is up to date, that is able to communicate with different components in the system, and that is tailored to the needs of the business. Software Software is essentially the programs needed to operate computers. Without software, hardware is useless. Software is also something that can greatly help with the day-to-day inner workings of a business. Software needs vary greatly from business to business. The important thing is to really examine software vendors carefully and to make sure that they offer a product that fits the needs of the business. One type of software that most companies require is accounting software. There are many options available that make keeping up with financial information easier and more efficient. IT Consulting Hiring a consultant may seem like a waste of money. However, for a new business that is unsure of it's technology needs, an IT consultant can be incredibly helpful. An IT consultant can use their expertise to help a business come up with the best technology to suit their individual needs. These consultants can meet with a business and help them determine what their hardware, software, and network needs are. Then they are able to help the business choose products that work with the business's budget. An IT consultant can help streamline the technology hiccups that many new businesses encounter in their first few years. Technology and business go hand in hand. A successful business is able to keep up with new technology as well as use it in a way that increases profit and efficiency. In order to achieve these goals, new business should consider investing in hardware, software, and IT...read more
Never Too Old To Get Online: Helping Senior Citizens Acclimate To The Internet
The old cliché states that senior citizens simply don't understand new technology or the Internet. And in many instances, this is unfortunately true: PewInternet.org found that only 59% of all senior citizens used the Internet. Increasing that number requires focusing on helping seniors better understand how they can utilize it properly. Follow these basic tips to get them started. Set Their Home Page To A Search Engine When the elderly are first getting used to using the Internet on their own, they are going to struggle to understand typing in URLs of specific sites they want to visit. That's why it's a good idea to set their home page as a simple search engine. Here, they can type what they are looking for, such as "great walnut and pecan pie recipes," and click on a site that appeals to them. Later on, they may be able to get into typing in URLs, but search engines can streamline the process. Try to set them up on a site that utilizes a search engine and a news feed. Seniors love being updated on the news, and these feeds can give them access to important stories and updates on issues important to them. Creating Successful Filters The Internet can be a precarious place if you don't know how to avoid suspicious sites, and unfortunately most seniors are going to have no idea what is safe and what is not. Setting up a series of strong Internet filters is one way that you can help protect them from the seedier sides of the Internet. What kind of sites should you filter? Try to filter: Pornographic sites Sites that automatically download new software Online forums and discussion groups Clickbait sites that use wild claims and weird photos to draw traffic There are multiple types of Internet filters you can utilize to keep your senior safe. Many people utilize software filters, such as anti-virus programs or traffic limiters, to avoid these sites. However, hardware filters that attach directly to your router can automatically block dangerous sites by setting up a firewall. Help Them Find Online Help Once your senior has started using the Internet, they're probably going to bombard you with questions at an unmanageable level. Avoid this problem by setting them up in an online Internet education course. These sites help teach basic skills to seniors by utilizing daily courses, helpful tips, and guides for proper Internet use. Most senior Internet help sites utilize a "search" feature that lets seniors find specific topics, tips, and classes on Internet topics that may confuse them. Sign them up for one of these classes, show them how to access it, and check up on their progress regularly to ensure they master the Internet. If your senior is still struggling to master the Internet, it might be a good idea to set them up with a tech support agent who can come to their home and give them expert advice. Remember: the Internet is a vast and strange place, and you don't want your senior getting lost in its endless expanse. Go to site resources that offer tech support for seniors to learn...read more
Signs That Your Computer Might Be In Need Of Professional Repair
No one likes dealing with computer problems, especially if their computer is needed for school or work. Therefore, you might want to take a few moments to consider the following signs that your computer is in need of prompt professional repair. It Is Overheating A computer should be kept cool at all times. This is usually accomplished thanks to its own fan system. Therefore, if you notice that your computer is turning itself off and is extra hot when it does so, the fan may not be working properly. You can first check to make sure that there is nothing blocking the fan, such as a piece of furniture or a build up of dust. If everything appears to be fine, but the computer is still overheating, you will need to have a computer repair technician take a look at it. If you allow this to continue to happen, you might find that the computer will fry and you will lose everything that you have stored on it. The USB Cords Are Not Working Right You have a problem where you have to wiggle and jiggle a USB cord in order to get the computer to recognize its existence. If this is what you have found yourself doing, you will want to stop. You might be making the problem a lot worse, especially if the problem is internal and not the cord itself. Try to replace the USB cord with a new one first. If that does not solve the problem, the USB port itself could be damaged or may be starting to become disconnected from the internal parts of the computer. Either way, this is something that a skilled computer repair technician will be able to take care of for you. Some Keys Are Malfunctioning Whether you are using a laptop keyboard or an external keyboard for a desktop computer, there may come a time when some of the keys are not working properly. The first thing you will want to do is to clean out the keyboard by using a can of compressed air, which can usually be found in the electronics section of any major department store. If that does not work, you could try replacing the external keyboard. Should you find that none of that is working and you suspect that the problem is not with the physical keys themselves, it could be a virus that you are dealing with, especially if it seems as though the keys work some of the time but other times seem as though they have a mind of their own. A computer repair technician will be able to detect the virus and get it off of your computer before it is too late. With those three previously mentioned signs in mind, you should have no trouble ensuring that you are getting the prompt help you need before you are no longer able to use the computer at all.

4 Places To Install Your Surveillance Cameras
Surveillance cameras not only keep an eye on your business after hours, but they can actually help you identify thieves and other criminals who escaped after stealing merchandise or vandalizing your business property. In order to have the best surveillance, you need to place your security cameras in the right location. Here are some of the best places to have surveillance cameras. Overlooking the Cash Registers If you have a retail store, it is imperative that you have a security camera facing the cash registers, as well as any other customer transaction spots on your property. Some stores not only have cash registers near the front of the store, but also in other areas, such as the customer service or layaway counters, or in the beauty section in some drug stores. It is a good idea to have surveillance at all areas so your security team can keep an eye on the transactions. At the Entrances and Exits Placing cameras near the entrances and exits benefits you in a number of ways. First of all, if thieves know the cameras are there, they are much less likely to attempt robbing your store. It is also helps to reduce the amount of people vandalizing your property, since they know these cameras sometimes see just outside the entrances of the building. It also lets your on-site security team keep an eye on all doors that lead outside of the business or store so they can spot suspicious activity. If someone does get out the door with stolen merchandise, these cameras help you identify the criminal. Near Crime Targets Every retail store has what is called a crime target, which is an area of the store that criminals will target. This might be cabinets with high-end merchandise like designer watches or jewelry, or glass cases on the walls with other high-priced items. The crime targets might also be a safe or filing cabinet in your place of business, as well as the back office where you have money to be deposited or counted after it is removed from cash registers. Have cameras that can view of all these highly targeted areas. Secluded or Dark Areas Outdoor surveillance cameras are also useful. If you have secluded or dark areas of your building, such as a corner of the building hidden behind trees, or a space behind the dumpster area where criminals could hide, those are good places to have cameras. This allows you to see criminals before they enter the building, or to identify them if they escape and hide in these areas until they can get away. For more security ideas, contact a local security company, like Horizon Telcom...read more
Troubleshooting Your Intercom System
Intercom systems can save you a lot of hassle and time. They also serve as a great security system. If someone in the house isn't able to get around like they used to, this system works great. Instead of having to yell across the house, you can simply push the button and let the other person know what you need. In the event something isn't right with your system, you need to get it taken care of right away. To help you troubleshoot why your system isn't working, check out the two problems below. The unit isn't powering on at all. While this might be obvious, many people don't think to look and see if the unit is actually getting power. Most units get their power from a 12 volt adapter. Check to see if that adapter is plugged in correctly. If it is, you might be dealing with a damaged adapter that needs to be replaced. An electrical surge can cause the piece to malfunction. A voltmeter can test your adapter to determine whether it is working properly or not. The equipment manual should outline the specifications for your adapter. Another thing to consider is whether the electrical outlet has power going to it or not. The easiest way to check this is to plug something else into the same outlet and see whether that item works. Outlets can short out for a number of reasons, such as faulty wiring or shorts caused by water. If you notice that the outlet is still working okay, it might be an issue with loose wiring. Feedback. When using the unit, you shouldn't hear any feedback. It should deliver a crisp, clear sound. If you find that you are struggling to hear the other party through the intercom, you might want to move the speakers farther away from your microphone. You might want to think about lowering the volume on your amplifier to see if that takes care of the feedback problem. Repositioning the units to another place in your home might solve the problem as well. It might be that you have something else in the area on the same frequency that is causing the feedback on your system. Intercom systems are an amazing invention. However, that won't do you any good if they aren't working properly. By taking the time to investigate the problem, you can get your system back working in no time.

The Death Of The Personal Computer
You may be one reason the personal computer is dying. How often do you use your phone or tablet as opposed to firing up the big boy in your office? Chances are you will grab for the tablet that is in your bag or on the table beside you rather than get up and walk to your PC. Even the small laptop models are being usurped by the even smaller tablets.The death of the personal computer has been announced previously for one reason or another, but now experts in the field believe it will be dead in five years. Tablets In 2015, tablets are expected to overtake shipments of PCs worldwide, an occurrence few expected even a few years ago. Tablets are moving from being supplemental devices to being your main computing connection.They do not have the power and memory of the personal computer, but they do have other advantages. Portability – They are light enough to carry in one hand, so they are excellent for students, teachers, real estate agents, and pretty much everyone else. Functional – They have enough juice to take care of most daily computer needs. Users can email, surf the web, use social media, and chat with friends. With word processing apps available, document production is not a problem, either. Affordable – Tablets vary widely in cost, but the average price in 2014 was $294, and it was expected to drop even further in 2015. Manufacturing Tablets are often less expensive than some smartphones, which seems counterintuitive. However, sometimes electronic components distributors price the pieces for smartphones higher because the specifications are greater and harder to achieve than for the smartphone. The display for a four-inch screen requires more advanced technology than one for a seven-inch screen. However, tablet users will tell you that they are more productive with the larger screen. Many electronic component suppliers are located in the United States, despite the perception that these parts are shipped from overseas. As with most industries these days, building these devices is a worldwide effort. No country has a monopoly on tablet production. Steve Jobs said shortly before he died, "PCs are going to be like trucks. They're still going to be around, they're still going to have a lot of value, but they're going to be used by one out of X people." His prognosis for the PC is more hopeful than that of other experts. They believe the PC is dying, and the tablet is the future for most computer users.

Campus Resources:
we are very creative, we think of new trendy classy styles
Campus Resources:
We don't own much student centers or need much computers everything at regency is hands on
Career Services:
Regency is a very good place to learn alot about hair and skin.
Academic Experience:
They really are there to see me succeed, I am a cosmetology major and they teach me everything I need to know and more. I have a very small class size which makes it very easy for me to recieve the personal attention that I need in order to get through school successfully.
Academic Flexibility:
I chose this school because of how flexible they were with my schedule and how they really care about me and my future. I can work around my life schedule and get my schooling done in a timely manner. I feel like I fit in and I am really loving my school so far.
Campus Resources:
Awful Awful Awful. The educators are kept in the dark when it comes to anything other than teaching us. We have to call advising to get help with anything that doesnt have to do with day to day learning, its very stressful because the advisors aren't usually available and leaving messages is futile..no one calls back.
Overall Experience:
The Educators Are the Only Thing Making This School Somewhat Worth While. I love all my educators, with the exception of our campus manager. The educators are encouraging and genuinely interested in who we are as people and do whatever they can to make us feel comfortable and confident in our skills so we may better ourselves.The advising department for Regency is awful. We only hear from them when money is due or our attendance is falling and in that case its just to threaten termination and fees. They don't care about our lives outside of school even though most of us have other jobs and/or children. The way things are set up you need to be able to focus 100% on school and nothing else. I have my esthetician license and was working at a spa which required monthly training and my school was not understanding of this whatsoever. My attendance dropped and I was terminated, then the day before I was supposed to restart (having 2 months left before I graduate) they told me I still owed $2000. I was terminated for almost 2 months and had I known I had a remaining balance I would have been saving money, now I have to take more time off from school to save money to go back. When I called my advisor to ask why i was notified they gave me the run around, putting me on hold for long periods of time, transferring me to different departments which ultimately lead to being told I should have just known and that there was nothing they could do. I was never apologized too or offered an explaination. I would never recommend this school to anyone..which I feel awful about because the educators are amazing but I don't want anyone to have to go through what I've gone through.However, I don't mean no one can be successful at this school and afterwards but when you have a life outside of school that requires time and attention this is not the place for you to go.
Student Body:
Students Awesome, Advisors Awful. The students all have potential to be amazing and most are eager to learn. The advising department for this school is horrible and i feel that hinders our chances at being successful.

it does need a lot of work to get it going, but when it's cruising it works well
It seems that this plugin is indeed complete.
There are two issues, which I see:
1. The AutoCron is misleading or I do something wrong. It's not clear if you need a paid version or the free version. Anyway, it doesn't work in the free version.
2. The newsletter editor is a normal WP editor. Those templates are weak and actually not clear what it means.
For the rest (it's a bit slow), this plugin is an excellent plugin for newsletters.
In my opinion this plugin is very useful an complete.
We are a WordPress theme development company and were looking for email marketing WordPress plugin to send out newsletters to our customers. Our requirement was ease of use and great functionality. Came across SendPress and we were extremely pleased with the ease of use. It has an intuitive UI and working with it is absolutely amazing. Add-on services are also awesome. We will purchase them for sure once we feel there is a need for us. Customer for life. Thanks SendPress for making email marketing easy.
I've been using it for a short time but I really like the simplicity of doing everything from my wordpress panel and using my existing gmail. It's a perfect setup for the small personal blog that I'm managing. Esp loved the seamless experience with Postman.
This used to be an excellent tool. I used it every few months to send out between 400 and 900 newsletters.
As of the latest version, you no longer know what it has sent and what it hasn't, nor according to what algorithm it sends (or does not send) your emails. In addition, instead of saying openly on the splash page "SENDPRESS IS NOW PAYING ONLY", you have a misleading little message that only comes up when you try to complete your mail send - i.e. right at the end of the process:
"Oh snap! It looks like AutoCron was not enabled or it disconnected itself. To get max send speed please re-enable it here."
On snap, my arse! What this really means is "Click here and pay us some money for the Pro version, otherwise nothing will ever work again and you won't know why". Nothing is more vile than this kind of pretense, and I refuse to have anything more to do with this company.
If this is the only way you can get customers, things must really be going badly with the company.
I just used SP for the first time in a few months (biz changes) and I really love the update to the email compose area. A lot cleaner...just like creating a post. I've installed SP on all of my sites and all of my client's sites since 2013. Still waiting on the AR feature before I go PRO, though.
very good
This is really a nice plugin. I was searcing an email marketing plugin and I found this plugin. This plugin has all I want. I have use this plugin for my web hosting company website: http://cyberdeveloperbd.com/ and Marketing for Web hosting offer, Domain Offer and more.
But I need some help from any one. I want to add email Template here. I found a folder named Template on this plugin directory. I copied the HTML template there. But the template not working. Now how can I use Email Template here?

Oregon Coast on a cold January evening. This was a half hour after sunset when you can catch the blue light. This also why you want to stay for awhile after the sun is down. The lights out there are commercial salmon fishing boats out on the ocean! This is one of the sites we will visit on the +Rick Sammon Oregon Coast Photo Caravan in September.

i have developed a simple application that record a video from webcam using flex and red5. This application is been made using flex and extending red5 Application adapter, on client side i use NetStream.publish() method, and on server side i will find into stream folder my recorded flv files, i have tried it on windows host and linux server. In my application i am splitting video by audio using 2 different netstreams while i record there are an audio.flv.ser and a video.flv.ser files and the final flv files get created from .ser files.
The difference i noticed between windows host and linux server, running centos6, excecution are these ones:
- On windows host the 2 flv files get processed together, i can see that their size change every moment 'ntil it reachs .ser files size, but on linux size every flv file is processed one by one, first video.flv is processed once its done audio.flv start getting processed.
- Windows host is a lot faster, abt 10 times faster, than linux server, but linux server is running on a less powerful cpu than linux server (T4400 server vs. Xeon quad core).
Why is there a so big difference in the way red5 runs on windows and linux?Red5 is written in java,the algorithm workflow should be the same either in windows and linux systems,shouldn't it?

Jeannette Dubiel McKewin Oppelt died on December 11, 2012, in Ridgecrest Rehabilitation and Nursing Home in DeLand Florida. The cause of death was renal failure. She was 91 years old. A 30 year resident of Jacksonville and DeLand, Jeannette is survived by a daughter, Carole Weaver-Linsner of Rockland County, New York; a son, Vince McKewin of Los Angeles, California; and three grandchildren: James Weaver, David Weaver and Katherine McKewin, all three of Los Angeles. Born in 1921, she was the youngest of 9 children from an old European family transplanted to America. Her parents were Anna and John Dubiel, of Poland, Austria and France. Jeannette was variously called Genevieve, Yan Yah, Jeannette, Jan and Sue. She was born and raised in Baltimore and her character was shaped by the Great Depression. Jan married Milton McKewin in 1943, enjoying a 31 year marriage and two children. Milton died in 1974. Then in 1981, Paul Oppelt and she wed to spend the remainder of their years in Florida. Jan and Paul travelled extensively to Europe, and the Near and Far East. Paul died in 2008. Jan, having come from Baltimore, "Charm City" generated an almost nuclear sociability. She could engage anyone; and was a consummate saleswoman. Her Red Hat girlfriends, her neighbors and the nurses who cared for her at the end all felt the power of Jan's sweet and funny personality. Jan raised loving children. In her last illness, Vince and Carole came from Los Angeles and New York to be by her side. Both treasure her rich personal legacy of humor and fun, love of music, passion for life, and strength of character. She taught them sensitivity, dramatic color, follow-through and remarkable word skills. She is the mother and grandmother of entertainers, producers, actors and writers. Her fierce, intelligent and comedic spirit will live on in them. Condolences may be shared with the family at
Arrangements are under the careful direction of Lohman Funeral Home DeLand.

Keith Haring, the Bad Boy Master of Wriggly Urban Art, Leaves a Legacy of Courage and Heart
For many critics, Haring's success was more a tribute to his brilliant salesmanship than to art, but, even as his life came to a close, Keith was not content with his accomplishments. "The hardest thing is just knowing that there's so much more stuff to do," he said last summer. "I'm so scared that one day I'll wake up and I won't be able to do it."
He had reached the top with an express-train speed typical of the '80s art market. Less than a decade after he sketched his first figure on the black paper that covers canceled subway ads, Haring was selling his work for as much as $35,000, decorating the hippest clubs and partying with the heartiest. "He was definitely the quintessential 1980s artist," says fellow painter and close friend Kenny Scharf. "He started with nothing but a lot of ideas, devised a plan of getting his message out into the world and was relentless until he succeeded."
Haring battled AIDS with the same kind of energy, talking openly about his 'illness and meeting with groups of children to teach them about the disease. Until two weeks before his death, Haring continued to work—creating huge sculptures for playgrounds and public spaces, painting murals for inner-city walls and hospital wards, and teaching art to disadvantaged youths. "I don't think there's much more you can do but pass stuff on to the next batch of humans," says Haring's pal actor Howard Hesseman. "I think he was trying to say, 'Hey, art is fun.' "
"Even with his massive success, Keith still came out and said, 'I have AIDS, I'm gay,' " says his friend Madonna. "He didn't worry if it was going to jeopardize his career, he just went with it. He gave all people courage to be strong and to stare death in the face."
