Transcript: Remarks by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Sept. 13, 2012
Edited by Jenny Jiang
Transcript of remarks by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Sept. 13, 2012:
"Earlier today, the Federal Open Market Committee approved new measures to support the recovery and employment growth.
"I'll get to the specifics of our actions in a few moments but I will first describe the economic conditions that motivated the committee's decision to take additional actions.
"As you know, the Federal Reserve conducts monetary policy under a dual mandate from Congress to promote maximum employment and price stability.
"The United States has enjoyed broad price stability since the mid-1990s and continues to do so today. The employment situation, however, remains a grave concern.
"While the economy appears to be on a path of a moderate recovery, it isn't growing fast enough to make significant progress reducing the unemployment rate.
"Fewer than half of the 8 million jobs lost in the recession have been restored. And at 8.1%, the unemployment rate is nearly unchanged since the beginning of the year and is well above normal levels.
"The weak job market should concern every American. High unemployment imposes hardship on millions of people and it entails a tremendous waste of human skills and talents.
"Five million Americans have been unemployed for more than 6 months and millions more have left the labor force – many of them doubtless because they have given up on finding suitable work.
"As the skills of the long-term unemployed atrophy and as their connections to the labor market wither, they may find it increasingly difficult to get good jobs to their families' costs of course but also to the detriment of our nation's productive potential.
"To help bolster the recovery and promote price stability, the FOMC has provided unprecedented levels of policy accommodation in recent years.
"With our policy interest rate near its effective lower bound, we've been using two complementary tools to carry out monetary policy: balance sheet actions and forward guidance regarding how long we anticipate maintaining exceptional levels of policy accommodation.
"While providing the support, we've been prudent, carefully weighing the potential benefits and costs of each new policy action and recognizing that monetary policy, particularly in the current circumstances cannot cure all economic ills.
"The FOMC has taken several actions this year.
"In January, it extended its forward guidance, stating that it anticipated that the federal funds rate will remain near current levels until late 2014.
"In June, the committee decided to continue through the end of the year the previously established program to extend the average maturity of the securities it holds by buying longer-term securities and selling an equivalent amount of shorter-term securities.
"However, incoming data confirmed that the modest pace of growth continues to be inadequate to generate much progress on unemployment.
"With inflation anticipated to run at or below our 2% objective, the committee has become convinced that further policy accommodation is warranted to strengthen the recovery and support the gains we've begun to see in housing and other sectors.
"Accordingly, the FOMC decided today new actions, electing to expand purchases of securities and extend its forward guidance regarding the federal funds rate.
"Specifically, the committee decided to purchase additional agency mortgage-backed securities or MBS at a pace of $40 billion per month.
"The new MBS purchases, combined with the existing maturity extension program and the continued re-investment of principal payments from agency debt to agency MBS already on our balance sheet, will result in an increase in our holdings of long-term securities of about $85 billion each month for the remainder of the year.
"The program of MBS purchases should increase the downward pressure on long-term interest rates more generally but also on mortgage rates specifically, which would provide further support for the housing sector by encouraging home purchases and refinancing.
"The committee also took two steps to underscore its commitment to ongoing support for the recovery.
"First, the committee will closely monitor incoming information on economic and financial developments in coming months. And if we do not see substantial improvement in the outlook for the labor market, we will continue the MBS purchase program, undertake additional asset purchases, and employ our policy tools as appropriate until we do.
"We will be looking for the sort of broad-base growth in jobs and economic activity that generally signal sustained improvement in labor market conditions and declining unemployment.
"Of course, in determining the size, pace, and composition of any additional asset purchases we will as always take appropriate account of the inflation outlook and of their efficacy and costs.
"Additionally, the committee emphasized that it expects a highly accommodative stance in monetary policy to remain appropriate for a considerable time after the economic recovery strengthens. This should provide greater assurance to households and businesses that policy accommodation will remain even as the economy picks up.
"In particular, the committee today kept a target range of federal funds rate at 0% to 0.25% and stated that it anticipates that exceptionally levels for the federal funds rate are likely to be warranted at least through mid-2015.
"In conjunction with today's meetings, FOMC participants – the 7 board members and 12 Reserve Bank presidents – submitted their individual economic projections and policy assessments for the years 2012 through 2015 and over the longer run.
"Committee participants' projections for the unemployment rate in the 4th quarter this year have a central tendency of 8.0% to 8.2%, declining to 6.0% to 6.8% in the 4th quarter of 2015 – levels that remain somewhat above participants' estimates of the longer-run normal rate of unemployment.
"Participants' projections of inflation have a central tendency of 1.7% to 1.8% for this year and 1.8% to 2.0% through 2015.
"While the economy appears to be advancing at a moderate pace with some improvements appearing in housing, FOMC participants see an economic outlook that remains uncertain.
"The economy continues to face economic headwinds, including the situation in Europe; tight credit for some borrowers; and fiscal contraction at the federal, state, and local levels. In addition, strains in global financial markets continue to pose significant downside risks.
"Before I take your questions, I'd like to briefly address three concerns that have been raised about the Federal Reserve's accommodative monetary policy.
"The first is the notion that the Federal Reserve's securities purchases are akin to fiscal spending. The second is that a policy of very low rates hurts savers. The third is that the Federal Reserve's policies risk inflation down the road.
"On the first concern, I want to emphasize that the Fed's purchases of longer-term securities are not comparable to government spending. The Federal Reserve buys financial assets, not goods and services.
"Ultimately, the Federal Reserve will normalize its balance sheet by selling these financial assets back into the market or by allowing them to mature. In the interim, the Federal Reserve's earnings from its holdings of securities are remitted to the Treasury.
"In fact, the odds are strong that the Fed's asset purchase programs, both through their net interest earnings and by strengthening the overall economy, will help reduce rather than increase the federal deficit and debt.
"On the second concern, my colleagues and I are very much aware that holders of interest- bearing assets, such as certificates of deposit, are receiving very low returns. But low interest rates also support the value of many other assets that Americans own, such as homes and businesses large and small.
"Indeed, in general, healthy investment returns cannot be sustained in a weak economy, and of course it is difficult to save for retirement or other goals without the income from a job. Thus, while low interest rates do impose some costs, Americans will ultimately benefit most from the healthy and growing economy that low interest rates help promote.
"And finally, on inflation: Inflation has varied in recent years with swings in global food and fuel prices caused by a range of factors, such as drought and geopolitical tensions.
"However, overall inflation has averaged very close to the Committee's goal of 2% per year for quite a few years now, and a variety of measures show that longer-term inflation expectations are quite stable.
"The Federal Reserve is fully committed to both sides of its mandate—to price stability as well as to maximum employment—and it has both the tools and the will to act at the appropriate time to avoid any emerging threat to price stability.
"Thank you. I would be happy to respond to your questions."

ATLANTA - Policyholders who feel their insurance companies intentionally underpaid a claim soon could have another tool to seek justice under a bill by state Rep. Doug McKillip, D-Athens.
Under current law, a policyholder who suspects his or her insurance company is acting in bad faith can sue, but the award is limited to $5,000 or half of the disputed claim, whichever is greater, and attorney's fees. McKillip's House Bill 450 would allow a judge or jury to award punitive damages as well.
He introduced the bill at the request of Athens attorney Kenneth Kalivoda, McKillip said.

How to Make Beef Jerky
Meat can be difficult to store, but provides important calories and nutrients for sustenance that can't be ignored. While beef jerky will only last a few months on the shelf, it's still worth knowing how to make. You can make in large batches, keep on hand, and simply freeze or eat before it spoils. If a disaster strikes, you'll be glad you made some. It is of course great for hiking or camping, as you can bring it along with you and it will keep for weeks in your pack without refrigeration. It also offers optimum protein and iron, which […]Read more »

More room than I thought and my family really loved it. I hosted a family reunion and this was the host house. Over 30 people were fed and entertained daily and many positive comments were made about the house.
Pro's: 2 Kayaks, fire pit, movie theater, ice cream bar to name a few
Con's: Dirty BBQ, DVD player didn't work, cabinets in kitchen crammed full of stuff, and paddle boat broke.
Thank you for a wonderful stay, My reunion was a success!
Had a lot to offer and great location on canal. Great for a large family. Had lots of fun.
We rented this house for a girls' weekend and we all had a great time. There were a total of 8 of us and plenty of space for all! We enjoyed the theater, watching movies both nights we were there.
There was a kayak on site, and one of our girls brought one as well, so it was nice that 2 people at a time could enjoy the canal. We were sad to find out the pedal boat needs some work - only one set of pedals actually worked and it has been in the water for quite some time so the algae caused some steering issues - but that didn't stop the girls from trying!
We had planned on using the bbq however it too was 'out of order' but again, it didn't spoil our trip in the least.
The theater is so cute and the fact that they have VCR, DVD and Discs was cool! Several of the girls had never even seen a Video Disc before! The selection of movies was great - lots to choose from for all ages.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would certainly consider renting this place again.
We stayed for two nights and enjoyed watching football and movies in the movie theater and nearby shopping. The house is very unique and cozy. It's good for couples and families if you don't mind sharing a bathroom and a "lived-in" feel to the house.
We really enjoyed our time at Gibsons place. We had a large group of chidren and adults and created some lasting memories. All the bedrooms were very comfortable and the living and kitchen area had everything we needed. The dock and paddle boat on the water were fantastic. We had a nice fire in the firepit and cooked smores and told stories. The house is very well kept and had a fun ambiance. The kids were crazy about the movie theatre and they had a nice collection of DVDs to watch. Would recommend to others and we hope to return again next year.
Thanks for a great time!
My family and I stayed at the Gibson House August 17-19th. And while it was a short stay, we enjoyed the house greatly.
We had no issues with anything in the house. The owner, Miss Kimmie, was there when we arrived, and walked me through the house. She also gave me instructions on how to use the entertainment equipment - dvd player, sound system, tv. Yes, it might be older, but it still works great as long as you treat it carefully. We had no issues with it, and really had a good time watching movies in the theater room. My kids got a total kick out of it the theater inside the house. The bedrooms served their purpose. We all slept just fine. If anything, bring your own pillow just for comforts sake. We also all had plenty of towels to use for showering. Yes, you do have to walk through a bathroom to get into the "Keeper's" and "Jungle" bedrooms. Which really isn't anything to complain about. Just, you know, be patient if someone's in the bathroom. Or walk through quick. The kitchen was great, and we found everything we could possibly need cooking and utensil wise. The dishwasher ran just fine. The owners very kindly allowed us use of items in their garage. Which isn't junk...We used the two bikes, some of the play buckets when we went to the beach, and the air hockey table. I could go on about the house, but I will simply say this - treat the house with respect. The owners have put a lot of time and effort into making it a fun place to stay. It's a very functional house, and I would not hesitate to stay there again if we were ever to go back to Ocean Shores. It's not that far from the beach, and not that far from town either. Anyone who rents a vacation home should make an effort to do a walk through with the owner, and get directions on how to use certain items. The only, and I mean ONLY issue we had was with the yard, there are little sticker bushes in the grass, and we found that out the hard way. I only say that in case someone with animals, or small kids stay there. But, once we found that out, shoes went on and stayed on anytime we were outside. It did not, however, ruin our stay. Yes, the ice cream parlor is mainly for looks, but is functional if you plan ahead of time and get instructions on how to use it, and plan accordingly for it. Thank you, Kimmie, for allowing us to stay in your home. We had a great time, and made lots of great memories there.

|Error parsing JSP with tag library -- how do I track down what's wrong?
|Tue, 28 Nov 2000 20:31:14 GMT
I'm "porting" software from JRun, where it all runs fine, to Tomcat, and a JSP which uses a simple tag extension fails with the following error: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to open taglibrary www.eldocomp.com/webpac/taglibs/utils : Parse Error in the tag library descriptor: Element type "web-app" is not declared. In this case, "www.eldocomp.....utils" is the taglib-uri value in web.xml, and the taglib-location value is WEB-INF/lib/utils_tl.jar, and the jar file includes "META-INF/taglib.tld". Considering that JRun processes web.xml and this stuff fine, what's the problem here? I can't find anything in the log files or the console to enlighten me, and the temporary .java file created for the JSP is empty. I have the debug level set to 9, but that doesn't seem to help.

Submission deliveries not working with some emails.Asked by Railtrain on August 05, 2016 at 12:52 AM
Some of our email addresses do not seem to be receiving submissions, particularly from teh annual leave jotform. Initially it worked, then all sudden it stopped working for the majority of the emails that are set up in the conditions.
So i have in the interim had to put my email against every condition aswell as the relative managers, so that i am at least receiving the submission to forward onto them.
Our IT guy has checked our server quarantined emails etc, to make sure they are not being held up there, but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong at our end.
so.. i can confirm that the following emails work
but for example the following do not work
We see it as a issue at your end. Can someone please look into this ?
JotForm Support
Hello Railtrain,
I checked the following addresses you have mentioned and true enough, they were in our bounce list, which means these emails are listed to not receive email alerts. Here are the causes sent by your mail server:
Reason(s) : smtp; 450 4.7.1 : Recipient address
Reason(s) : smtp; 450 4.7.1 : Recipient address
Reason(s) : smtp; 450 4.7.1 : Recipient address
I'm not sure what this exactly means. But can you confirm that these email accounts exist? It's because that if other railtrain.com.au email accounts are able to accept emails from us, then your mail server may have had another reason why they rejected the emails to be received by those accounts.
In any case, I have removed the email addresses from the bounce list so JotForm should start sending emails again to those addresses.
If you have questions, please let us know.

Review: Friedrich dehumidifier's with installation instructions
Learn about the Friedrich brand and find an easy to understand guide for sizing the right dehumidifier.
Friedrich built their name in the room air conditioner market, but their line of portable room dehumidifiers caught my attention while looking for a new dehumidifier to replace our now defunct Kenmore model. The design and overall features looked perfect for our wants and needs, so time to unwrap this thing and do a complete install, including continuous drainage.
Benefits of a Dehumidifier
A garage, basement, or any other space experiencing excessive humidity can wreak havoc on tools, cabinets of all materials types, clothing, etc., and create damaging mildew on your home when not controlled.
Our basement, for example, averages 10% higher humidity when no dehumidifier is active. That's a substantial increase during the hot and humid months. We want to keep the amount of humidity in check so we don't cause unnecessary damage that can cost into the thousands of dollars to replace and repair.
Dehumidifier Sizing
Dehumidifier capacity is usually measured in pints per 24 hours and is determined by two factors: the size of the space that needs to be dehumidified, and the conditions that exist in that space before dehumidification.
Friedrich has 3 models of dehumidifiers (D25, D50, D70) and created an easy to understand guide for sizing the right dehumidifier to the space and conditions.
|Room Conditions
|Small to
mid-size space
100 – 1,000 sq. ft.
|Mid-size to
large space
1,000 – 2,000 sq. ft.
Area feels damp and has a
musty odor only in humid
(25 pint)
(50 pint)
|Very Damp
Area always feels damp &
has a musty odor & may
exhibit damp spots on walls
& floors
(50 pint)
(50 pint)
Area always feels and smells
wet and the walls & floors
sweat or seepage is present
(50 pint)
(70 pint)
|Extremely Wet
Area has wet floors or exhibits
standing water
(50 pint)
(70 pint)
Why Choose a Friedrich Dehumidifier?
There are a lot of brands making dehumidifiers as part of their diverse product lines. This time I wanted to try a brand that has a more focused product line. Friedrich primarily makes in room air conditioners and 3 models of portable dehumidifiers. Nothing else. We'll see if their limited prioritization equates to a better product.

Top Panel Control Features
The dehumidifier functions are very accommodating and easy to understand. The only feature missing and I would like to see added is a notification light when the filter is dirty.
Easy Access Filter
The filter with handle is conveniently placed in front of the control panel and accessible from the top. Lift up for removal…slide in for insertion. No need to remove other parts or dig for the filter internally.
Box Contents
Once the dehumidifier is removed from the box; the dehumidifier is mainly assembled; you'll want to remove the drain bucket to access the included accessories.
- The D25BNP model will have casters that need to be installed, whereas the D50BP and D70BP will have the casters already attached.
- A corrugated continuous drain hose (middle hose in image) is included in all 3 dehumidifier models.
- Models D50BP and D70BP include another smaller clear vinyl hose( left hose in image) for the built-in drain pump feature.
Note: Far right part in drain bucket (blue tape covered) is the float that activates the built-in drain pump or shuts the dehumidifier off when the bucket is full.
Two Drain Options
Who wants to keep emptying a bucket of water daily! Many dehumidifiers have a continuous drain feature, but what if you don't have the luxury of draining downwards into a floor drain? Maybe you need to route a hose upwards into a sink?
Larger capacity models D50BP and D70BP have built-in drain pumps that can pump condensation vertically or horizontally up to a combined distance of 15 feet.
Option 1 – All 3 models (D25BNP, D50BP, and D70BP) have the continuous drain port. This works by gravity alone, so the hose needs to route downward and into a drain. The drain bucket will not be filled.
- Remove the drain cap and rubber plug. Store the black plug in a safe place in case you need to reinstall it again. The drain bucket is a good option since it won't be filling with water anyways.
- Insert the supplied rubber o-ring into the flange end of the corrugated hose. Slide the cap over the other end.
- Tighten the cap back onto the threaded fitting.
Make sure the drain hose is flowing downward. A sump pump basin or floor drain makes displacing water maintenance free.
Option 2 – Choose either the D50BP or D70BP models and the humidifier will include another drain port that's connected to a built-in pump. Now you have the ability to pump condensation vertically or horizontally up to a combined distance of 15 feet.
This drainage option, however, does allow the drain bucket to fill, then once the float is activated, the pump will turn on and empty the drain bucket.
- Locate the built-in pump drain port.
- Locate the supplied drain hose with pre-attached locking key.
- Push the hose and key assembly into the port until you hear a "click" sound.
Note: The hose and key assembly are easily removed by push the ribbed portion of the button to unlock.
Plug In. Power Up. Remove Humidity.
Like most portable dehumidifiers, the installation is fairly straightforward once you sort out your drainage needs. The settings control panel is simple to understand. Plug the dehumidifier in a 115VAC outlet, push the power button, and adjust your settings.
If you have any additional questions, concerns, or pre-purchase product queries, the Dehumidifier Installation and Operation Manual in the Brochures tab can be helpful.
Not in the Manual
Once the setup was complete, there were a few concerns I had about how the Friedrich D50BP dehumidifier was operating, and the answers I needed weren't found in the manual, so I called customer service.
- Removal and reinsertion of the drain bucket has around a 2.5 -3 minute lag before the dehumidifier auto restarts if power was never turned off. Friedrich confirmed that this is normal.
- Humidistat seemed very inaccurate (5% variance) on turning the dehumidifier off / on at setpoint. Friedrich advises to set the humidity control at the lowest setting of 30% for a day or two. The humidistat will adjust itself to the environment, then setpoint should be more accurate.
Long-term Updates
We'll continue to check back and log long term results of our Friedrich D50BP dehumidifier.
- June, 2015 – Initial installation
- May, 2016 – A long winter but finally enough humidity in the atmosphere to justify the need for a dehumidifier in the basement. The unit was plugged back in and turned on with zero problems. Note: Now's a good time to check the filter and inspect the drainage, if connected.
I give our Friedrich Dehumidifier 5-Stars and highly recommend the brand, but there are plenty of other highly-rated dehumidifiers to choose from as well.

The cervical spine is made up of seven vertebrae from the base of the skull through the neck. Eight pairs of nerves travel through bony openings in the cervical spine. When one or more of these nerves get pinched, painful cervical neuropathies can occur.
The most common symptom is pain that radiates from the neck down into the arms. The pain can be dull or sharp, and it can be on one side or both. When the pain is accompanied by numbness, tingling or weakness, it usually means that the nerve compression is more severe.
A physical exam is the first step in diagnosis. It is important to find out if there is any limitation of motion in the neck or any weakness or decreased sensation in the arms. Plain x-rays are always important to see if there is any disease of the bones of the cervical spine. Finally, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CAT scans may be required.
There are a number of possible causes of pressure on a cervical nerve. The cause can be as simple as a muscle spasm or as serious as a tumor. The most common cause of pinched nerves in the neck is degenerative disease of the spine, a form of arthritis that can cause bony protrusions called "spurs" or herniation of the discs that lie between the bones.
Pain relief
The most common pain medicines given for cervical neuropathy are anti-inflammatory medications and antispasmodic medications. These medicines help relieve the tight muscles and inflamed nerves. A cervical collar (neck brace) is helpful to relieve the pressure on the nerves by supporting the neck and head. An injection of steroid medication is sometimes given at the spot where the inflamed nerve exits the bone. Narcotics are rarely given due to the addictive potential.
Sometimes simple measures do not work to relieve the pain of cervical neuropathy. At times, it can progress and lead to weakness in the arms. In these cases, surgery might become necessary. A ruptured disc might need to be repaired, or an unstable spinal column might need to be fixed into a firm position.

I don't get a picture with my sweet girls often since I am usually behind the camera, so I was glad Mark snapped this one:
Karis and Karlie were excited that they got to hold the flags at Sparks:
Abbi knows Go Dog, Go by heart and Susanna loves it so Abbi was being super sweet and reading it to her:
Random trip to Krispy Creme with favorites:
Frosty loves to hide on Mark's desk and grab his papers and pen as he studies:
The kitties also love Mark's study chair :)
The girls have really enjoyed their Fo os on the Family magazines from Grandma and Papa:
Susanna was clingy to Daddy and he wanted to get stuff done so he put her in the Ergo on his back. Both were pretty happy about the arrangement:
Susanna loves to climb in a chair that's holding a sleeping kitty:
The girls and I were very proud and excited about the Boston Cream Pie we made from scratch for Papa's birthday. DELICIOUS!
Susanna loves to hold the kitties oh so tight!
One pretty spring-like day we decided to let the kittens explore outside a little. We are tired of the litter and are slowly starting to acclimate them to going outdoors. they were cautious but excited:
The kitties quickly find my lap as soon as the girls go to naps or bed. If I don't sit and snuggle or a bit, Frosty will even come up to me and start pawing at me and crying for me to sit down with him :)
Karis thought Frosty needed a baby

Amy Lynn Holt said she will work to trim the budget and put teeth into the Henderson County School district's bullying policy when she sat down with the Times-News recently to talk about her campaign.
Amy Lynn Holt said she will work to trim the budget and put teeth into the Henderson County School district's bullying policy when she sat down with the Times-News recently to talk about her campaign.
Frustration over the elimination of Henderson County's Outdoor Education Program for fifth-graders from the school system's budget was the catalyst for Holt's entry into the school board race, she said.
Angry about the cut, Holt raised more than $14,000 to save the program, which was put back into the budget for this school year.
"Several teachers came to me and said, 'You've got to get it back,' " Holt said, "I went to (former superintendent) Dr. Page about it and he said there was no money in the budget. We managed to get it back. So one of the reasons that I'm running is that I want to cut wasteful spending in our system so that we can put the money back into educational programs and back into our teachers."
As a business owner, Holt said she has the money management experience to make good financial decisions for the schools if she is elected to the board. She said there are several tangible ways the board could save money: by reducing expenses for cell phones, auto allowances and school bus fuel.
"My job in our business is to make the budget and squeeze every penny," Holt said. "I think the county does a good job at this, but I think they could do a great job at this. Henderson County gives the schools $36 million as its part of the overall total $117 million budget. That's a lot of money so it shows that our commissioners want to see our schools succeed, but there's always money to be saved. We need to be good stewards of that money."
While it is good that the school district did not lay off teachers last year when the state announced its budget cuts, Henderson County's school system didn't go far enough to keep classroom sizes manageable, Holt said. It should have replaced the teachers it lost to attrition and retirement.
The students will end up being shortchanged if those positions are not replaced, she added.
"If we are not putting the money back into replacing those teachers," she said. "We are not helping the teachers who have overflowing classrooms, and we are not keeping our promise to give our kids the educational experience they deserve and the children will suffer."
The state pays teachers a flat dollar amount that is based on years of experience, meaning the state's portion of a teacher's salary cannot be increased. Asked if she would champion increasing teacher salaries by giving them more in local supplements, Holt replied, "I'm all for that."
Henderson County teachers now receive a local supplement of 5.5 percent, said Kerry Shannon, Henderson County Schools finance director.
Bullying is a "major" issue across the nation and there needs to be more done about it, Holt said. She now serves on the Henderson County Superintendent-Parent Advisory Council. That organization has taken steps to craft a bullying policy for the county school district, but it lacks teeth, she said.
"It needs to be stricter — judging from the statements made by the parents that I have spoken with on this issue," Holt said. "This would be greatly supported by the community."
Ways that Holt says the bullying policy could be strengthened include adopting a "no tolerance" stance; adopting regulations that spell out exactly what the boundaries are; instructing teachers and staff more clearly about how to deal with bully situations; and launching a system-wide education campaign in every classroom that explains the consequences of bullying to students.
"It's like the bullies have more rights than the victims, and that's just wrong," Holt said. "The county has the beginnings of a good policy on this, but right now there's no follow-through."

3 DIY Breast Enhancement Home Remedies
Bustea is a cleavage-enhancing drink created by Dr. James A. Duke,author of The Green Pharmacy. To make it, combine 1-2 cups of water with several tablespoons of fenugreek seeds in a saucepan. Add a pinch or two of the following spices: anise, caraway, fennel, and licorice. Allow the water to boil for several minutes and strain before drinking. You can add lemon juice and honey if you wNT. For the best breast-enhancing effect, drink 1-2 cups of Bustea per day..
Now YOU can gain up to 3 cup sizes naturally with no gimmicks, no gadgets, and no surgery. To get started today, click here!
Cucumber and Egg Yolk Breast Mask
An excellent remedy for lifting the breasts is a breast mask made with cucumber and egg yolk. Cucumber has natural skin-toning properties and egg yolk has high levels of protein and vitamins that can help treat sagging breasts.
To prepare the mask, puree a small cucumber in a blender. Mix in one egg yolk and one teaspoon of butter to get a paste. Apply the paste onto your breasts and leave it on for about 30 minutes. Wash it off thoroughly with cold water. Apply the mask once or twice a week. (For more remedies for sagging breasts, see my article 6 Home Remedies for Saggy Breasts.)
Breast Enlargement Lotion
The simplest way to make your own breast enlargement lotion is to buy herbal extracts of breast enlargement herbs, such as fenugreek, saw palmetto, or wild yam. You then take a few drops and mix it into your favorite body lotion. You can add as much or as little as you wish. The best recipe is one part herbal extract to two parts lotion. (For more about making and using your own breast enlargement lotion, see my article How to Make Your Own Natural Breast Enlargement Lotion.)
If you are on a particular breast enlargement program, you should follow it religiously, of course, to ensure the best results. However, any or all of these three home remedies could probably be added to any routine without causing a problem. If you're thinking about doing natural breast enlargement on your own, these three home remedies are an easy and inexpensive ways to get started..

A sign hangs down from a storefront canopy in this retro graphic. The sign's broad lettering effectively promotes a sale or an event. It's surrounded by a curving frame, which has an elegant look to it. The dotted background that runs behind the banner is inviting and slightly quaint. However, the clean lines of the sign help to keep the image current. The dots also extend into the sign, and the color scheme flips for a nice effect. While this banner is undeniably vintage, it's a hip and engaging way to pique your audience's interest.

Twin Sister Blades were a special set of daisho forged by Mirumoto smiths. They were inherited by Mirumoto Bushi when they reached their gempukku. Few outside the Dragon Clan knew of these unique blades. [1] They were created in the forges of the Dragon's Heart Dojo. [2]
Unique Forging Process Edit
A weaponsmith chose two lots of iron he had forged down from ore personally, prepared for forging. They were both put through the forging process at almost the same time, processed for shingane, the skin steel of the blade, and hadagane, the core steel, one immediately after the next. They were both forged or worked like that through the whole process, one then the next. These blades were then said to be twin sisters, as they were crafted by the same hands and were 'born' only moments apart. These weapons were formidable in the hands of a samurai trained in the Mirumoto style, Niten, who mastered the Daisho Technique. [1] If the Twin Sister Blades were kept separate on any occasion it lest the spiritual link between them broken. [3]

I visited this facility
Barton Hills Assisted Living was a very beautiful and very clean community. It had a lot of amenities, and it had everything you needed in one place. The woman that toured me was lovely. The rooms were very clean and big. The dining room was very pretty. You didn't feel like you were in a nursing facility.Provider Response
Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to give us some great feedback about community. We do take great pride in our community and care for our residents here.

Barton Hills Assisted Living is my least favorite. It was not that updated or nice a facility. It's an older house.Provider Response
Thank you for your feedback. Since our opening, 1998, we have been striving to keep the home up to date while still maintaining our home like feeling. With many renovations done last year and many more to come, we hope that we continue to be a wonderful place for our current and future residents! We hope that you find the right home for your loved one. All our best, BHAL Management

We came as a family to visit Barton hills in 2006 and ended up staying until 2015. The first thing you notice when you walk in is that it's a home not a facility. The staff is caring and attentive. They go above and beyond to make sure your loved ones are treated with care and respect. Family and friends are always welcome and made to feel at ease. They make sure you are as comfortable as your loved one. Furry friends are welcome and appreciated. Drop by you will be glad you did.

My grandmother has Alzheimer's and quite frankly she needs the help. Yhat is why we placed her in this assisted living home. She seems to be aware some of the times when we ask where she is and seems to like the place. When I was there visiting I was treated very well and I believe that it is a great place for my grandmother to be. She always has someone that is capable watching her every move and that is good at their job. She seems to be happy there from what she tells us. I liked the place a lot and I know my grandmother does too. I wish she did not have Alzheimer's and lived with us, but since she is in this condition I am glad she has Barton Hills. All the other people that I saw there also looked extremely happy. The facilities there are amazing from the fitness room to the game room it looks like an amazing place to live.

The assisted facilities where my dear neighbor lives is just great. He loves it and he always says that he wishes we could all live there with him cause it is just an amazing place. It has a lot of fun things to do and it also has a great nursing staff. My opinion of this place couldn't be any better. It is just a great place that I see myself going when I need assistance. My friend that lives here is such a jolly guy you could even call him Santa clause. He used to always spread cheers to everyone in the neighborhood the best way he could and I guess you could say this place fits him perfectly and that is just perfect for him. I hope he lives a long life but if he were to die tomorrow I know he would have no regrets.

I visited this facility
We visited the Barton Hills Assisted Living facility while searching for a place for my brother's friend in the Austin area. We immediately noticed the beautiful outside grounds that were very nicely maintained. The patio is used for socializing and dining, with openings into the grounds featuring many walking paths. Residents may also tend the lovely gardens. The foyer was fresh and bright with very nice decorations and furniture and the staff was very welcoming. All of the indoor rooms had plenty of fresh air and light. Each room was beautifully decorated and furnished. The colors throughout the building were soothing and comfortable. Communal activity rooms were spacious, with comfortable furniture. The seniors can easily socialize, make crafts, play games, watch TV and films and participate in many stimulating activities. Seniors can use the exercise room at any time and also go on daily walks. Aerobics and yoga classes are offered. The residents go on trips to visit the many art galleries and museums, eat at casual and fine restaurants and enjoy the many cultural events offered in Austin. The private rooms featured plenty of space in nicely decorated surroundings. All had a great deal of natural light and fresh air with very comfortable furniture. The dining room was quite nice, with plenty of space. The food we saw looked and smelled delicious. The menus all had healthy food options for all kinds of diets. Healthy snacks are offered all day and into the evening, as well as whenever residents request them. We especially liked that focus on helping the seniors to enhance current skills, while cultivating new interests. The recreational and educational activities provide an opportunity for personal, as well as spiritual growth. The residents here looked very content in their living environment and were well cared for by kind and considerate staff.

Greville Village Market
Posted by Kate Starke
30. Aug, 2013
Launching this Sunday, Greville Village Market will turn the Chapel Street precinct into an open-air market full of emerging designers and creative people.
Being held on the first and third Sunday of every month, the market's spring schedule is full of DIY workshops as well as design names and collaborations. Try your hand at making your own piñata or have your first up-cycling experience with succulent cork planters.
DJs will be there to set the vibe with some tunes and stalls will be set up to encourage meandering, pottering and communal interaction. Peruse hand-made furniture, accessories, clothes, shoes, artwork and trinkets at your leisure.
Look out for stannard-inc – a Sydney-based accessories label which uses crystals, leather, copper, feathers and brass to create beautiful hand-made jewellery. Or Takeawai, which uses Melbourne's landscapes, nature and beach culture to inspire crockery and home-wares.
The first day of spring is set to pull out the big guns weather-wise, with 25 degrees and sunshine for the launch of this new venture. Get some vitamin D back into those bodies with a wander through the fresh air. Melbourne food favourites like Ladro, Chez Olivier, Babble and FOG will be there to help fill those grumbling tummies after the shopping is done.
Grattan Gardens, Prahran
1st and 3rd Sunday of each month

The bathroom has a shower and is equipped with all of the necessary supplies that travelers need.We supply a hair dryer, organic shampoo and conditioner and soap.The bedroom has a walk in closet.There is a sitting room off of the bedroom that also encompasses a kitchenette that is fully supplied with a small fridge, hotplate, microwave and toaster oven.As well as a convection oven.
There is a coffee maker and hot water maker for tea or cocoa.There are staples such as spices, sugar, salt and pepper as well as coffee and filters and a good assortment of teas
We have an ironing board and iron in the closet and in the bedroom we have a television with a supply of dvds. More upon request.
Outside, we have a barbecue for your use and a lovely fountain if you so choose to have it on. Our garden is for you to enjoy.
Since we live near to the areas of Glenwood, Loch Lomand, and Peacock Gap, we have hosted many family members that are visiting their children and grandchildren. They enjoy the proximity to their family members and to these neighborhoods but yet return and recuperate from all the family gatherings.A plus for us is the many returning guests. We always look forward to seeing our guests again and again. We also like to think of our rental as a quiet get away for couples as well.
If you enjoy the wine country we are within an hour away and also if the city is a draw, we are less than an hour away.
We came up to Marin County in 1991 and fell in love with its beauty. Both of us have been in the film and television industry and where Paul decided to retire, Elise continued to travel to Los Angeles and work on different film and television projects as a studio teacher. She has worked on some well known projects such as Full House, and many movies as well. We both are semi retired now and love to travel as well as welcome fellow travelers to our lovely area .
Elise is a teacher in the film industry and Paul was an assistant director. He is now a writer and has written a novel called Night Fear. It can be found on Amazon!
He is writing his second novel which is a sequel to Night Fear. There are 2 more on the horizon.
Our alma maters our UCLA and Cal Berkeley!
paul and elise samuelson purchased this apartment in 1991
This neighborhood where our rental exists is truly unique. It is on the Bay side of a quaint area called 'Chicken Point' - perhaps because there might have been people raising chickens - which is a common happening here!- It is not far from central San Rafael and yet it feels rural enough to enjoy walks up in the hills and around the Bay.
The architecture of our surrounding area is a mix of different styles. No cookie cutter look here. It reminds me of Topanga Canyon in Los Angeles, an area where I grew up and a mix of East Coast Maine. People here are very supportive and helpful and we find that this did not exist in larger towns and cities.
The style of our rental is a bit of New England. We have temperate weather due to the proximity to the Bay and since we are near a little beach, it is easy to put out a kayak or stand up paddle board.
Also our neighbors are what makes the area wonderful - everyone loves where we live!!
Our stay was wonderful. Elise and Paul have made this apartment a peaceful retreat - very well thought out, quiet, clean and the water sounds out our bedroom window were delightful...
San Rafael and San FRan and Elise and Paul will truly be out home away. We now leave for Oregon, back to some rain. We will miss our small space with a great view and the warm sun.
See you soon, Blessings,
Vito and Kele
We enjoyed our stay immensely! The owners are very cordial and considerate. The apartment is extremely comfortable and well furnished. One could not ask for a cleaner home away from home. The area has the peace and quiet of country living but very near all the immenities one desires for a great vacation to the SF Bay area. Many nice, safe walking areas as well. Our son lives 1/2 mile from the apartment, so it was very convenient to walk to his home instead of driving. We will definitely stay in this charming apartment whenever we visit the San Rafael area.
My best friend and I were looking for our "girls weekend" location and we found the perfect place. This is the most charming location we have been to, it is comfortable a bit small but incredibly spacious. The decor was brilliant it made a big difference in the atmosphere with plenty of windows to admire the surroundings - we thought the walk-in closet/changing room was a nice touch. The location was perfect to explore Sausalito, Sonoma and Napa – we did all that and in the evenings returned to our retreat to enjoy a nice bottle of wine. This was a great get away location and we definitely plan on returning.

A very nice experience.
Outstanding crisp nice everything.
Perfect everything.
Nothing should be changed.
I wish.
I would have gotten to know the owners.
They have 5 star review.
These people are kind, friendly and provide a very well appointed and clean downstairs apartment. The bed is very comfortable, however, if you are a light sleeper or sensitive to noise, there will be some from the owners moving around upstairs; one night until 11:00 pm. A heavy sleeper would be unaware, but unfortunately, heath reasons make sleep difficult for me and the noise from above added to this.
This rental was cozy but not small. The bedroom and closet space were more than enough to meet our needs, and the kitchen had everything you might need aside from a stove (though a hot plate is available). As a couple exploring San Francisco and the Napa Valley for the first time, this rental was perfectly located between the two. The drive into the city was not bad (even during rush hour), and provides some fantastic views of the city and Golden Gate Bridge! Paul and Elise were extremely accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. We highly recommend this rental property to anyone visiting the area!
Owners and their rescue pups were terrific-very personable. They had great suggestions for walking, local (and not so local) food and wine spots. And they had good coffee already stocked in the pantry (so nice when you come in late and don't have time to get to a store!) The rental was very comfy for our party of two. Well decorated with nicer/comfortable pieces. Quality linens and towels, are always appreciated. So was their eco friendly detergent, sheets had just the faintest smell of lavender-perfect! Great closet space and plentiful hooks for jackets, hats and purses and plenty of towel bar space in the bath. Overall, a well thought out space.
What sets us apart from other vacation rentals in San Rafael is our quiet, scenic neighborhood that is close to the bay.It feels as if it is a blend of East Coast Maine with West Coast weather. It is a peaceful, semi rural area.We are close to a boat harbor as well as a small beach where you can launch canoes or kayaks. Our East San Rafael property is also surrounded by open land where you can hike, mountain bike or just enjoy walking around the bay. We are also near historic China Camp and McNears Beach picnicking site. If you want to get some small town feel, we are 2.5 miles away from the downtown area of San Rafael which has a restored, historic mission as well as cute shops and many restaurants. There is also a restored movie theatre that plays a significant role in the Mill Valley Film Festival. Also nearby is Dominican College that has hosted many prominent speakers, writers, politicians and actors.
Besides all of these highlights, we are literally walking distance from Andy's Market, an upscale full service market with an incredible deli and a finely curated wine selection.
Our property is a midway point for visiting the city of San Francisco, the wine counties of Napa and Sonoma, the lovely coastal route from Stinson Beach to Point Reyes and beyond to Bodega Bay. All can be done in one day travel.
Other Activities: We have had golfers, kayakers, hikers, sailers, and a myriad or those who enjoy the outdoors. We are very close to the Peacock Gap Country Club which does have day rates as well as McGuinnis Parkway Golf Center for those who just want to hit some golf balls or play a full round of golf.
Golf: We are near Peacock Gap Country Club and McGuiness Park, which is also a golf course is a bit further up the highway.
Ski: We are 3.5 hours from Truckee and Lake Tahoe ski resort.
Stand up Paddle Boarding and Kayaking is offered at 101 Surf Sports which is about a mile away from us. They even have lessons and you can rent from them as well.
Hiking on Mount Tam is a wonderful refreshing way to rejuvenate. There are easy, moderate and strenuous hikes depending on your preference and ability. You can also go hiking right outside of our rental. We have an open space area a few blocks from us and you can enjoy a peaceful morning walk. Our Sunday Farmers Market is really a treat and fresh vegetables and fruit are abundant.

Collective Agreements for Openreach
Collective Agreement on High Level Principles and Consultative Arrangements for Resourcing
This document forms the collective agreement between Openreach and the CWU and is aligned with the Openreach business objectives and resourcing principles agreed with the CWU and sets out the criteria for the use of non permanent resource in the context of the Openreach strategic approach to resourcing and established consultative processes. Whilst Openreach's primary consideration is the effective deployment of our existing direct labour, use of third parties is an important part of our resourcing strategy to enable us to flexibly meet our customer and commercial needs.
Within this context the stated view of Openreach and the CWU is to optimise the deployment of direct labour (be they on permanent, short term or fixed term contracts). However, both Openreach and the CWU accept the principle of, and need for, a flexible workforce to meet the challenging demands of the dynamic and fiercely competitive market in which Openreach operates, including the use of alternative resource streams in accordance with the principles set out in this policy. Equally, Openreach and CWU are committed to following the consultative arrangements outlined in this document.

Athletes leave their teams all the time to be with their wives for the birth of a child. It would've been understandable if Joe Flacco got in his car to speed off to New Jersey when his wife, Dana, went into labor Sunday morning.
However, there was no question in Flacco's mind how he would handle the situation. He was playing.
"We had talked about it, and if it came on Sunday, I was going to play the game," Flacco said. "You obviously don't know how you're going react, though, when you get that call. You get that call and your heart starts beating. The game is on, man. It's crazy.
"It's always a game-changer when you get that call. What else is she calling for at 5:30 in the morning? So before I even picked up the phone, I knew what was going on. I kind of answered the phone and said, 'So, what's up?' She's like, 'Yeah, you know,' and I'm like, 'You've got to be kidding me.' I said to her, 'What are the odds of this happening?' And then I looked at her and I said, 'Well, I guess it's one-in-seven. It's not really that bad.' Like I said, it was an interesting day, but a lot of fun."
Flacco led the Ravens to a come-from-behind 14-6 win over the Browns just hours after his wife gave birth to the couple's second child, Daniel.
Getting the call early Sunday morning wasn't ideal, but Flacco enjoyed the day as a whole.
"I don't know if it's ever your worst nightmare. It was a pretty cool day, pretty special day," he said. "I got a call at 5:30 in the morning from (Dana), and I couldn't believe it. I was in total disbelief. But it's the way it went, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It was a really, really special day, obviously, and it's just the way it worked out.
"I don't know if it was really ever in the back of my mind. I was definitely fortunate that my wife had the baby at 11:30 a.m. before the game had started. I think if it was during the game, I would have been coming off every series like, 'Update me. Update me. What happened?' So the fact that it did come before the game actually kicked off was a little bit settling to my mind. I was able to relax a little bit because all morning ... I'm usually pretty reserved before the game, and I was walking around the locker room. I was just way more fidgety than I normally am, so it was definitely soothing to know that she had the baby and everything went OK. Having said that, I thought about it during the game, but it was a lot easier to deal with."
Flacco left from M&T Bank Stadium to head back to New Jersey as soon as he could, and he certainly didn't mind that drive home coming off a win.
"It helps that we won, but it probably wouldn't have been that bad of a loss knowing that I was going to be able to go back to that," he said. "I still couldn't believe it really. I just wanted to get back there and see if she was doing OK, see if he was doing alright, and everything was good."
Ravens coach John Harbaugh was impressed to see the way Flacco handled the whole situation.
"Obviously, all of us have these things in life where you have days that are landmark days in our lives, right? And for Joe, that was one of them," Harbaugh said. "I'm sure he'll remember it for the rest of his life. And to be able to play the way he did, and especially, the way he did in the second half with the third-down conversions, that kind of thing, to get us the win and then to get back and bring his wife and newborn son home from the hospital, the next day is pretty neat."
NOTE: Tailback Ray Rice has yet to practice this week, sitting out both Wednesday and Thursday because of the left hip injury he suffered during Sunday's game.
Earlier this week, Harbaugh called the injury day to day, and not a long-term concern. But whether Rice will be able to play against the Texans this Sunday remains up in the air.
On Wednesday, Flacco addressed the potential challenge of playing without Rice.
"The biggest thing is that we don't have a lot of running backs right now," Flacco said. "We don't have a lot of experience at that position. Obviously, Ray runs the ball well, but we'll have guys who run the ball well. The biggest thing missing when you lose a guy like that is he's a veteran running back. He can I.D. fronts, he knows who he's picking up in blitz in the protection, and you can feel confident with him doing that, and he feels confident in doing that. So I think that's the biggest thing you miss. Obviously, we all know that we're going to miss his ability out there. But we seem to be dealing with a little bit of injuries this year, and it's just going to be something we have to adapt to and win some games while we have guys filling in at positions."

Management officials may restore annual leave that was forfeited because it was in excess of the maximum amount of hours (i.e., 240 hrs, 360 hrs, etc.) that could be carried over into the next leave year. The following three reasons are the "only" reasons that forfeited leave hours can be restored by management: (1) administrative error when the error caused the lost of annual leave hours; (2) exigencies of the public business when the annual leave was scheduled in advance; (3) or sickness of an employee when the annual leave was scheduled in advance. Scheduling leave in advance means it must have been scheduled in writing before the start of the third biweekly pay period prior to the end of the leave year.
Exigency of the Public Business
An exigency of the public business for leave restoration is normally referred to a situation or matter of such importance and urgency, that an employee must be at work, and precludes the use of annual leave. The authority to determine exigencies is delegated by the ASA (M&RA) to commanders of Army Commands (ACOMs); Army Service Component Commands (ASCCs); Direct Reporting Units (DRUs); and the Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Army (AASA). This authority may be further delegated in writing to other Army officials as appropriate. Exigencies that result in the forfeiture of annual leave should have a fixed termination date.
How to Request Leave Restoration
Shortly after the new leave year begins, employees seeking to have forfeited leave restored must submit a request to the appropriate management official for approval. The request should include the following:
- Written statement explaining the circumstances for the forfeited leave and how many hours should be restored
- Copies of the leave and earnings statements that indicate the leave hours forfeited
- Copies of all written requests for leave relevant to the forfeited leave
- Document(s) disapproving the leave requests
- If the request is based on an administrative error provide documents regarding the error
Time Limit for Use of Restored Annual Leave
In general, employees must schedule and use their restored leave not later than the end of the leave year ending two years after:
- the date of restoration of the annual leave forfeited because of administrative error;
- the date the employee is determined to be recovered and able to return to duty if the leave was forfeited because of employee illness; or
- the date determined by the management official, with appropriate delegated authority, as the termination date of the exigency of the public business that resulted in forfeiture of the annual leave.
[Note: The two year limitation could be extended due to an extended exigency as defined in 5 CFR, Section 630.309.]
National Emergency by Reason of Certain Terrorist AttackIn 2002, OPM issued final regulations that permit "use or lose" annual leave to be restored to employees whose services are determined to be necessary for the current national emergency. This means employees are entitled to have their excess annual leave restored without the administrative burden of scheduling and canceling such leave during the national emergency. Additionally, the time limitations for using restored annual leave are suspended for the entire period during which employees' services are determined to be essential for activities associated with the national emergency. At the end of the national emergency, or when the services of the employee no longer are determined to be necessary, a new time limit is to be established for using all restored leave available to the employee.
