Reese Bogle
Vice President of Business Development for Discover Bank
"Take a risk; innovation is not always a popular decision."
Reese Bogle, a graduate of Wesley College, has seen many changes in the financial services industry and banking since he began his career over 35 years ago with the Vanguard Group. Vanguard was known as an innovative mutual fund company bringing mutual funds direct to consumers via phone and mail, versus the standard broker network.
As banking and insurance crossed paths in the early 80's, he joined Colonial Penn Insurance Company, another leader in alternative marketing of insurance products. Colonial Penn saw the vision and innovation of banking without branches. Thus, the concept of branchless banking was born. Bogle served as director of marketing and compliance and CRA officer for Bay Loan and Investment Bank, the first branchless bank in the country.
His career continued in the alternative banking field where there were no branches, only the Internet and call centers. Companies included James Madison Mortgage, First Commonwealth Savings Bank, Premium Federal Savings Bank and eTrade Bank. At eTrade Bank he was president of eTrade's insurance subsidiary before leaving to start InterState Net Bank, an Internet and commercial bank located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, where he served as executive vice president and COO.
As vice president of business development at Discover Bank, he utilized the Internet and alternative marketing to attract high profile clients such as the American Automobile Association (AAA), National Education Association (NEA) and American Association of Individual Investors.

August 23 - Professional Development
TO: Fine Arts Teachers
FR: Mark Coates, Coordinator of Fine Arts
RE: August 23 Professional Development Day
DATE: July 30, 2011
Fine Arts teachers have been making connections to mathematics and language arts through the content of their individual discipline. Within the Fine Arts, the content of art, music, dance, and theatre are based on Fine Arts Artistic Behaviors:
- Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
- Creating Personal Meaning
- Social, Cultural, Historical, and Contemporary Context
- Communication and Collaboration
- Creativity & Innovation
- Information and Technology Literacy
- Productivity, Accountability and Self-Direction
- Leadership and Responsibility.
These Fine Arts Artistic Behaviors share commonalities with the Standards for Mathematical Practice:
- Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
- Reason abstractly and quantitatively
- Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
- Model with mathematics
- Use appropriate tools strategically
- Attend to precision
- Look and make use of structure
- Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
Additionally, Fine Arts teachers encourage their students to be articulate. As artists, we believe in the importance of being able to be reflective, have the ability to critique your work and the work of others, have the ability to follow directions, as well as to be able to write clearly.
On Friday, August 23rd, as part of the professional development on the Common Core, Fine Arts teachers will have the opportunity to meet for 90 minutes and participate in a guided discussion on ways art, music, dance, and theatre help support the Common Core. At the elementary and middle levels, art and music teachers will meet, and at the high school level art, music, dance, and theatre teachers will meet. A designated group leader will facilitate the discussion using a power point presentation. Access to the power point presentation is through the link below. An individual who will act as recorder will be designated for each group, and use the link for the Google Doc to record responses to the discussion questions that are embedded in the power point presentation.

24 Hour Church of Elvis
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (May 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The 24 Hour Church of Elvis was an exhibit at a museum and gallery called "Where's The Art?" in Portland, Oregon, USA, run by artist Stephanie "Stevie" G. Pierce.
The original location (1109 SW Washington, 45°31′18″N 122°40′58″W / 45.521752°N 122.682825°W), which operated from 1985–1986, had a single coin-operated fortune-telling machine accessible from the street, elaborate window displays, and art available for purchase inside.
At the second location (219 SW Ankeny, 1987–1994, 45°31′21″N 122°40′21″W / 45.522548°N 122.672416°W), the entire store front was itself a work of art, and included several custom-built coin-operated automated art exhibits that moved and made sounds in response to pressing buttons, and would dispense (or not) various trinkets, pamphlets, fortunes, etc. for prices ranging from 25 cents to a dollar. Every prize was accompanied by a one-inch "original work of art" by Ms. Pierce. Some machines were run by Commodore 64 computers, and included crude graphics and speech synthesis. These machines were always accessible, hence the first part of the name. Other items by the artist were available inside the store when it was open. Also inside, one would often find the street performer called "Elvis" who would play a few songs on a cardboard guitar, in his sequined jumpsuit and thick, dark-rimmed glasses. This performer is still a regular fixture at Portland Saturday Market.
The third location (720 SW Ankeny, 1994–2002, 45°31′21″N 122°40′41″W / 45.522593°N 122.678061°W) was devoted primarily towards 1970s popular culture memorabilia. It was on the second floor and lacked any of the coin-operated machines of the older locations, although several cut-out holes in the first floor of the building hinted that they were intended to be installed at this location, but never were. The museum offered legal weddings for $25 and "cheap, not legal" weddings for $5. The fake weddings could be same sex. Despite the name, the third incarnation of the 24 Hour Church was not open 24 hours, as indicated by a sign on the door which read "24 Hour Church of Elvis: Usually open Noon to 5, 8 - 11 a lot. Call (503) 226-3671 for reassurance". Although this location is now occupied by an architecture firm, the last remnant of the 24 Hour Church of Elvis is still visible in their entrance.
The fourth location (2008-2013 408 N.W. Couch St. 45°31′26″N 122°40′29″W / 45.52384°N 122.674769°WCoordinates: 45°31′26″N 122°40′29″W / 45.52384°N 122.674769°W[1]) closed in March 2013 due to lack of funds for rent.[2]

Released: Jan 01st, 2006
Running Time: 182
Director: Stefan Stiffer
Company: Red Eagle
Distribution Companies: Spunk Video
Cast: Ricky Lion, Alejo Fox, Moshy, Alex Storm, Dick White, Franky Paudios, Nahuel Cruz, Agustin de Marco, Brian Monte, Jony Cash, Marcos de la Fuente, Rodrigo Watts, Lukas Miguel, Sebastian Cortes, Alex Lowe
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gay Specialty
Though production values reflect the low budget, a lot of great material is included in this two-disc set that stars a cast of attractive and well-endowed Argentineans in intense, sometimes jaw-dropping action. The thrills come not just from the oversized cocks, but also from fisting and the use of huge dildos. The cocks are all uncircumcised, and any fan of the natural dick will salivate while watching these Latin Romeos blast huge loads of jizz that often leave cum clinging to their ample foreskins. There's a lot of variety here from the settings to the sexual configurations that vary from romantic duos to raunchy threeways. Body types and ages are also fairly variable. Live sound, good camerawork, and competent direction help matters quite a bit, and if nothing else, the quantity of great sex alone (ten scenes, five on each disc) is worth the price. The bonus footage includes more ass-play scenes and an ass-shaving session.
Retailing: Much bang for the buck, with ten scenes of Argentinean hunks in great action.

Charles Jennette, MD, describes a 25-year-old man with membranous nephropathy in whom dependence on isophane insulin suspension for diabetes mellitus developed after receiving high-dosage steroid therapy for an indefinite period. The linking of these two disorders with a common cause, though an intriguing thought, currently lacks substantiation.
Bernes et al,1 in 1962, observed positive immunofluorescence in diabetic kidneys using antiserum to beef insulin and suggested that the renal damage in diabetic patients might be caused by immune complex deposition, with insulin being the exogenous antigen. However, subsequent immunohistological studies by Westberg et al2 and Thompsen3 failed to confirm the immunologic cause of diabetic glomerulosclerosis. They concluded that the linear deposition of immunoglobulins along the glomerular and tubular basement membranes of diabetic kidneys is caused by nonspecific trapping of a variety of plasma proteins, including albumin and ceruloplasmin. Thus, the consensus of opinion at the moment is

Having decided to ditch the city in favor of the suburbs, a newly formed family purchases a quaint "fixer-upper" that proves to be more trouble than they could have ever anticipated in a rollicking family comedy that's half sequel to Are We There Yet?, and half remake of Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. Nick Ice Cube and Suzanne Nia Long have tied the knot, and now the couple is looking for a suitable home in which to raise their family. What better place to bring up adolescents Lindsey Aleisha Allen and Kevin Philip Daniel Bolden than a quiet house in the suburbs? Despite their outward excitement at the prospect of moving into their very own home, the family soon discovers that dreams don't come easy as eccentric contractor Chuck Mitchell John C. McGinley clashes with the head of the family while forming a frustratingly close bond with his wife and two step-children. As the promising fixer-upper begins to pose a serious threat to the burgeoning family's bank account, Nick gradually begins to realize that the suburban dream doesn't come cheap.

Welding Nanowires With Light
Monday, 06 February 2012
Electrically conductive meshes made of metal nanowires promise exceptional electrical throughput, low cost, and easy processing in applications like video displays, LEDs, and thin-film solar cells. However, in processing, these meshes must be heated or pressed to unite the crisscross pattern of nanowires that form the mesh - damaging them in the process.

Looking at Atmospheric Stability to Predict Wind Power
Tuesday, 24 January 2012
Power generated by a wind turbine largely depends on wind speed. In a wind farm in which the turbines experience the same wind speeds but different shapes, such as turbulence, to the wind profile, a turbine will produce different amounts of power. Two researchers say that this variable power can be predicted by looking at atmospheric stability.

Private Prison Company Allegedly Put 73-Year-Old Grandmother In Solitary Confinement For 34 Days
CREDIT: Shutterstock
Carol Lester, a 73-year-old grandmother serving time in New Mexico Women's Correctional Facility in Grants, is suing Corrections Corporation of America, one of the largest private prison companies in the world, and Corizon, Inc, a private prison health care company, for denying her medical care and keeping her in solitary confinement for over a month.
Lester's lawsuit, filed in late November, charges that the warden deliberately put her in solitary confinement because she complained to lawmakers and Department of Corrections officials that she and other women were being denied medical care.
Lester plead guilty to embezzling money from her employer to feed a gambling addiction in 2010. Soon after beginning her three-year sentence, the lawsuit charges that the privately run prison stopped giving her the prescribed medication she had been taking for thyroid cancer and gave her a new medication that made her sick. Lester started fainting on a regular basis, and medical staff told her she may have a serious heart condition. However, they did not send her to a specialist or a hospital, and her health deteriorated rapidly.
According to the complaint, she took up a letter writing campaign with fellow inmates who were also being denied medical care. Her letters prompted a delegation of state legislators and the head of health services for the Department of Corrections to visit the prison to talk with inmates about their concerns.
Soon after these visits, Lester was given a drug test, and tested positive for methanphetamine. Though she had no history of drug use, the prison was prescribing her Zantac, which is known to cause false positives for methanphetamine. Lester reportedly offered to pay for a blood test to prove she was clean, but was put in solitary confinement instead. While in solitary, Lester says she stopped getting medications for either her thyroid cancer or her heart condition.
Though a court has not yet heard Lester's case, the two prison companies in question already face a string of allegations that they abuse or neglect inmates. Because private prison companies must turn a profit, health care and quality of life are often sacrificed for the bottom line. Corizon is already handling lawsuits and investigations all over the country charging that the health care company ignored inmates' calls for help, left sick inmates in soiled bedsheets without any food or water, and even let a man die because calling an ambulance was deemed too expensive.
Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), meanwhile, was recently held in contempt for understaffing prisons, and a few months earlier paid $600,000 to settle another lawsuit over inmate abuse. The extremely profitable company has also been caught overcrowding prisons to the point that many inmates sleep on the floor, using gangs to police facilities,

The influence of energy-transfer upconversion (ETU) on the performance of diode-end-pumped lasers is studied by including ETU effects into the space-dependent rate equations. The dependence of ETU rates on the mode-to-pump size ratio and on the output mirror transmission is derived. Experiments for Nd:YAG and Nd:YVO/sub 4/ crystals are performed to validate the present model. It is found that the ETU process increases the sensitivity of the output power to the output mirror transmission but its influence on the output power is not significant for low output transmission.

Hi all,
Here's the deal. I regularly leave comments around the interweb, most of them insightfull might I add. Sometimes I wonder, why don't i blog these comments as if they were blog posts. an that's my request.
Is there a plugin of some sort that aggregates my comments around the web and automatically makes blog posts of them. So if I comment on 15 different websites, I would like to see a plugin aggregate them to my blog as if it were a new blogpost each time around.
Please let me know if such a plugin exists or is in the making?

"Port Vendres in Languedoc-Roussillion" Port-Vendres by ranger49
Port-Vendres Travel Guide: 5 reviews and 20 photos
Port Vendres, just a short drive down the coast from Collioure and has a natural deep harbour which has evolved into three distinct sections.
The commercial port - used by the deep sea fishing fleet, commercial freight ships and tenders from visiting cruise ships.; the harbour, where smaller fishing boats are based, close to the pleasure boat marina for local and visiting sailors. And to crown it all a small beach.
This may seem to the visitor like any other Meditteranean fishing port but it holds the history of centuries..
Both the Greeks and the Romans were regular visitors and, moving on many centuries, so was the ubiquitous Vauban who designed the fortifications of the port in the late 17th C. giving the town an important role in the military defence of France.
The waterfront and the narrow lanes lined with cottages - formerly the homes of the fishermen and their families, now also house many incomers - second home owners and holiday homes.
We enjoyed our visit to this vibrant little town and were surprised to see so many visitors there in early April.
Some smaller sized cruise ships and sailing ships make a port of call in Port Vendres.
Since our last visit we have learned that there are proposals to build a third quay in the deep water harbour - large enough to receive big ocean going cruisers.
This would bring some some new employment prospects to the area and berthing fees to th Port - but I wonder at what net cost to the Cote Vermeille.

I must admit I have never heard of Charles Rennie Mackintosh before. But if you know his paintings I'm sure it must be interesting to follow the trail and see where he painted them.
Gorgeous pictures! We are looking forward to going this fall.
Pity the Chapel was closed. It looks very nice on the outside, makes you wonder what the inside was like?
Port Vendres, "the port of Venus" is another little place that we remain to visit. Thnk you for the virtual visit!
Maybe that little old lady wanted to invite you to tea!! Nicepage & pictures.
Always good to see a place which has a good tourist information bureau. Cancer of the tongue? Ouch!
I have sevral prints of this artists work -and a broach of my mothers in his style, I but had no idea he had lived in France.

Russian Lender TCS Group Falls Below IPO Price in London Trading
TCS Group Holding Plc, the owner of Russia's Tinkoff Credit Systems, declined in London trading on speculation it may have to set aside more money for souring loans, according to an investment manager.
The company dropped for a fourth day, losing 5.5 percent to $17.07 by 2:07 p.m. TCS was priced at $17.50 in its initial public offering on Oct. 22, valuing the lender at $3.2 billion.
Asset quality for Russian banks "continues to deteriorate," said Gregory Klumov, portfolio manager with SBD Global Fund in Cyprus who said he has started shorting the stock. TCS "will have to significantly increase loan provisions next year," he said.
Shorting involves selling borrowed shares and making a profit buying them back when prices decline.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc., which helped arrange TCS's IPO, said "leverage" in consumer banking is at a record high amid a slowing Russian economy and increasing consumer indebtedness, in an analyst note to investors this month. Russia's consumer-finance banks face an increase in bad loans in the unsecured retail lending market, Moody's Investors Service said last month, citing TCS among those with "heightened risks."
Oliver Hughes, chief executive officer at the bank, declined to comment by telephone today.
Since it was founded in 2007, Tinkoff has issued more than 3.5 million credit cards in Russia and ranks third in such lending, according to the company.
"We expect further shorts to be opened on the stock," Luis Saenz, head of equity sales and trading at BCS Financial Group in London, wrote in e-mailed comments today. "We do not usually like to short stocks on valuation grounds, but this is an exception. We are targeting the stock to trade below $17 in the very short term."

This dressing is good but I changed it a little and made it GREAT for our tastes. 3/4 cup olive oil is too much for us tastes so I only put in 1/2 a cup. I added more salt and pepper than it says. I could have done without the brown sugar but I added it because my wife likes things a little sweet. I also added more garlic but we are garlic lovers. We served it over a plain salad of mixed greens with grilled chicken and it was awesome.
Good vinaigrette!!Added some green olives and green pepper to the salad!!Thanks for the recipe.
This was a really nice salad. DH and I made it for lunch today. DH said he wished the vinaigrette had just a little more zing to it and he could not taste the balsamic and the garlic too much. I think it will be just a matter of playing around with the proportions of ingredients to suit our taste. All in all, we enjoyed our lunch. Thanks!

Thanks for the plugin, does exactly what is required.
This is a really great plugin, though @ function in original bpactivity form doesn't work. Is this going to be included in a later version?
Thanks a lot for this plugin. I use it on my welcome user page.
Just: is there a way to translate" What's new username ?".
Anyway thanks
Works great. I've added it in my theme to a widget area that only shows up to logged in users, and it's doing a great job :)
Awesome! just what I was looking for!
I had to make some styling to make it looks right, that is the only problem ^^
thank you so much for this plugin :)
This widget is a great idea, but it needs some styling to be customisable in the settings so that you don't have large texts with small replies. Also I chose numbers of posts/posts per page and more than my number were displayed, and then with the pagination when I clicked on #2 it seemed to reset the widget so instead of displaying the next set, it showed the whole activity feed. Luckily not so long yet! Needs a lot of work, hope the creator will take comments on board.

High-Resolution Tracking of Distributed Targets

AbstractThe high-resolution radars at Kwajalein Missile Range (KMR) have sufficient bandwidth to resolve multiple scattering points on most targets of interest. As radar returns from these multiple scattering points fluctuate during track, the radar track point may jump between the scattering points. This jumping/wandering of the track point from look-to-look is interpreted by the track filter as a change in the apparent velocity of the target. Track filters attempt to follow such false changes in target velocity and thus may be driven off the target and lose track. This problem is particularly troublesome for the very-high-resolution Milli-Meter Wave (MMW) radar which frequently breaks track while tracking large satellite targets. This proposal identifies an innovative means of improving the range-marking algorithms to enable the KMR radars to maintain track on targets whose scattering centers are distributed over multiple resolution cells. A plan is presented for demonstrating the feasibility of the new approach. The plan includes a detailed analysis and investigation employing Toyon's existing high-fidelity digital simulation of the MMW radar. The proposed improvements will significantly enhance the ability of the MKW radar and other high-resolution radars to teliably maintain track on distributed targets. This will yield an immediate increase in the productivity (i.e., more data at less cost) of the MMW radar in the cataloging of satellites and their orbital parameters. The technique can also be extended to civilian high-resolution radar applications which require reliable tracks on extended targets.

Altrusa Club of St. Augustine is hosting David Nolan, who will narrate and Carrie Johnson, who will sing ''The Stories of Old St. Augustine'' on March 4 at the Llambias House, 31 St. Francis St. The program is at 2 p.m. and is followed by refreshments. The $15 donation goes toward the preservation of the Llambias House. Nolan's book, ''The Houses of St. Augustine,'' and Johnson's cassette tape, ''The Voice of Lincolnville,'' are available for sale.
Nolan, a trustee of the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Society and the Fort Mose Historical Society, is the author of ''Fifty Feet in Paradise: The Booming of Florida,'' which tells the story of the booms and busts in Florida history. Most recently, he collaborated with Ken Barrett and Jean Ellen Fitzpatrick to produce ''The Houses of St. Augustine,'' a book that examines many of St. Augustine's historic buildings.
Johnson started her remarkable career at an early age, singing in school and church groups. She has sung with such notable choirs as the Edward Waters College Gospel Choir of Connecticut. Since her return to her hometown of St. Augustine, she has dedicated her time to keeping history alive for the generations through her inspirational gift of song.
The Altrusa Club is an international, non-profit service organization of professional women. Since 1967, the Altrusa Club of St. Augustine has been the steward of the Llambias House. Proceeds from fund-raising activities support the restoration of the house and grounds. For more information, call Manila at 471-9422.

Liberty Region Chapters
AZA and BBG are made up of hundreds of chapters across the world. Each chapter is part of a council, region, or country and has its own chapter leadership that is elected by the members of the chapter each year. Chapters hold regular programming for their members, participate in council/regional athletic leagues, participate in service and advocacy projects across the community, and enjoy on a daily basis the brotherhood and sisterhood components of AZA and BBG. AZA and BBG chapters are full of spirit and chapter pride. It is common for chapters to have mascots, colors and "swag" items (chapter themed t-shirts, backpacks, sweatshirts, etc.) that members proudly wear to chapter, council, regional, and international programs. Competitions are held at certain conventions for which chapter has the most chapter spirit.
In Liberty Region we have 21 chapters located throughout Eastern Pennsylvania (including Philadelphia), Delaware, and even a chapter in Binghamton, NY. Each chapter is unique, allowing for us to provide opportunities for every Jewish teen- everywhere, anywhere.

MACON, Ga. (AP) - Mercer University officials say they're concerned about the tendency in recent years for undergraduate students to take longer than four years to get a degree and have announced a program to reverse the trend.
Brian Dalton, Mercer's vice president for enrollment management, said the Macon school's new four-year pledge will help students get through college faster. They say it will allow students to avoid running up the cost of a college education and to get into the job market sooner.
Beginning with the freshman class of 2009, students who do their work, pass their classes and follow the advice of faculty advisers will graduate within four years.
If a student does not graduate within that time frame, the cost of whatever additional courses are required will be absorbed by the university.

Meet other local people who love volleyball and want to play for fun!
Nothing serious, just a fun reason to get away from your daily routine and enjoy some fun on the beach.
So that we can have a minimum level of play for everyone, players should have an ability to pass a ball to the setter before attending. We strongly discourage any "Backyard" volleyball. If you've a beginner whose never played before, you will need to have beginner's lessons before attending. I can personally recommend Beach Volleyball101, VAVI, or even a patient friend.

Ulcerative Colitis Diet and Nutrition
Ulcerative Colitis: Starting a Food Diary
Diet alone doesn't cause ulcerative colitis or other inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), and avoiding certain foods won't cure these conditions.
"But following a proper diet can help ease symptoms and promote healing," says David T. Rubin, MD, co-director of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center at the University of Chicago. In other words, choosing the right foods can make it much easier to live with ulcerative colitis and other chronic conditions.

The Link Between Stress and Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis can begin very early. At the age of 12, for instance, Amanda Sina Griffith found herself the object of a custody battle -- and was besieged by painful stomachcramps and bloody diarrhea. "I'd had very mild stomach symptoms before; my doctor thought it was a bacterial infection. But now, it was worse," she recalls. The diagnosis was ulcerative colitis. Now 31, the Norton, Mass., public relations consultant and mother of a 7-month-old still finds that when she's under stress...
Read the The Link Between Stress and Ulcerative Colitis article > >
A proper diet means two things:
• Eating nutritious meals composed of foods that are easy to digest and may even soothe the bowels.
• Avoiding foods that irritate or otherwise aggravate your symptoms.
It sounds easy. But in practice, knowing which foods to choose and which to avoid can be tricky. Certain items frequently show up on lists of IBD offenders, including:
• Seeds
• Popcorn
• Foods containing caffeine
• Acidic foods
But doctors say there's very little rhyme or reason to what causes problems for one person and not another. Even the same sufferer may experience a flare-up with a particular food at one meal and not at another.
How can you know which foods affect your symptoms? The best strategy, experts say, is to keep a food-and-symptom diary. "Every patient is different," says Rubin. "Individual experience should guide your food selection. That's why keeping a food diary for a few weeks can be very useful."
Dear Diary: Diet and Ulcerative Colitis
The idea is simple. By recording exactly what you eat over a period of time and how you feel afterward, you can nab particular foods that cause your symptoms to flare up. You'll also be able to identify foods that soothe your digestive tract.
Make recording your meals convenient for you. Some dietitians recommend using a notebook small enough to carry with you. That way you can jot down what you eat at meals and in between throughout the day. Others say it's fine to keep a notebook by the side of the bed and record everything you ate that day before going to sleep.
"Most people are pretty good at remembering what they ate over a 24-hour period," says dietitian Tracie Dalessandro, RD, author of What to Eat with IBD. "I find that filling in the diary just once a day is easier and more convenient for many people than pulling it out after every meal."

J. Scott Applewhite, ASSOCIATED PRESS
Transcript of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's speech as prepared for delivery at the Republican National Convention:
"In 1980, I watched my first Republican convention with my grandfather.
"He was born to a farming family in rural Cuba. Childhood polio left him permanently disabled. Because he couldn't work the farm, his family sent him to school, and he became the only one in the family who could read.
"As a boy, I would sit on our porch and listen to his stories about history, politics and baseball while he puffed on one of his three daily Padron cigars.
"I don't recall everything we talked about, but the one thing I remember, is the one thing he wanted me to never forget. The dreams he had when he was young became impossible to achieve.
"But there was no limit to how far I could go, because I was an American.
"For those of us who were born and raised in this country, it's easy to forget how special America is. But my grandfather understood how different America is from the rest of the world, because he knew what life was like outside America.
"Tonight, you'll hear from another man who understands what makes America exceptional.
"Mitt Romney knows America's prosperity didn't happen because our government simply spent more. It happened because our people used their own money to open a business. And when they succeed, they hire more people, who then invest or spend their money in the economy, helping others start a business and create jobs.
"Mitt Romney's success in business is well known. But he's more than that.
"He's a devoted husband, father and grandfather. A generous member of his community and church.
"Everywhere he's been, he's volunteered his time and talent to make things better for those around him.
"We are blessed that soon, he will be the president of the United States.
"Our problem with President Obama isn't that he's a bad person. By all accounts, he too is a good husband, and a good father and thanks to lots of practice, a pretty good golfer.
"Our problem is he's a bad president.
"The new slogan for the president's campaign is 'Forward.'
"A government that spends $1 trillion more than it takes in.
"An $800 billion stimulus that created more debt than jobs.
"A government intervention into health care paid for with higher taxes and cuts to Medicare.
"Scores of new rules and regulations.
"These ideas don't move us 'Forward,' they take us 'Backwards.'
"These are tired and old big government ideas. Ideas that people come to America to get away from. Ideas that threaten to make America more like the rest of the world, instead of helping the world become more like America.
"Under Barack Obama, the only 'Change' is that 'Hope' has been hard to find.
"Now millions of Americans are insecure about their future. But instead of inspiring us by reminding us of what makes us special, he divides us against each other.
"He tells Americans they're worse off because others are better off. That people got rich by making others poor.
"Hope and Change has become Divide and Conquer.
"No matter how you feel about President Obama, this election is about your future, not his. And it's not simply a choice between a Democrat and a Republican.

BRAINTREE – A year from now, Braintree attorney and planning board chairman Robert Harnais will make a bit of history at the Massachusetts Bar Association – he'll become the organization's first Hispanic president.
Harnais, whose parents are from Argentina, has been named president-elect for 2014-2015. That means he'll automatically become the association's president in September 2015.
He'll take office as president-elect as of next Monday.
"To be the first Hispanic (president), I'm honored," Harnais said in an interview Tuesday.
The state bar association was founded in 1911.
Harnais is a past president of the state Hispanic Bar Association and the national Hispanic bar group. For the state bar association he'd previously served as vice president, treasurer and secretary.
Two Hingham attorneys were elected to state bar offices along with Harnais. John J. Morrissey will be one of two vice presidents, and Christopher P. Sullivan will be secretary.
During the coming year Harnais will be working closely with the association's new president, Marsha Kazarosian of Haverhill. Meanwhile, he said he'll continue to work with judges and lawyers to further expand the racial and ethnic diversity in the state's courts and legal profession.
He's been on a state advisory board for that issue since 2007. He's also on the state bar association's diversity task force.
A Quincy native and 1979 Quincy High graduate, he got his law degree from the New England School of Law in 1989. He passed the bar exam in 1990 – "the day my daughter was born," he noted.
A former investigator for the Middlesex District Attorney's Office, he's currently a partner of the Mahoney & Harnais law firm in Quincy, and treasurer for the Norfolk County Bar Association.
This spring the Quincy Bar Association gave him the group's Alfred P. Malaney Award for distinguished service. He was presented the award at Quincy District Court's annual Law Day ceremonies.

UC does not limit our help to just one kind of cancer. The patient need only live or work in Elkhart County to qualify.
In this picture, Shayne Rock has had surgery and finished radiation treatments for thyroid cancer, so she is cancer free! Like so many of United Cancer's clients, the combination of out-of-pocket treatment costs and loss of income lead Shayne to UC for help. Shayne is a 20 year employee of KMC Controls, and she has a 19-year-old daughter studying business at IPFW. Shayne also works at Maplecrest Country Club and loves to play golf. In fact, Shayne played golf when she attended Goshen High School. Your donations helped Shayne with her cancer bills, and we can't thank you enough!
Laura Rasch, pictured here with her husband Ejner, had an extremely rare form of cancer in the soft tissue of her right arm. Soon after this picture, Laura had successful surgery to remove the tumor. Laura's insurance leaves 10% of her costs out-of-pocket, and before the surgery she already had $40,000 in treatment bills. Laura is a 17 year employee of the Elkhart County Health Dept., is a member of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, loves to read inspirational books, and is the Vice Chair of the Suicide Coalition. UC helped Laura pay some of her treatment costs, thanks to your donations!
