Creating a Culture of Financial Literacy
By: Adam Carroll, ICUF Financial Education Consultant
March 19, 2012
Credit unions all over the state have begun implementing different financial education initiatives all with the same goal -- create a more financially literate member base.
Yet, just as you wouldn't build a house on a sand foundation, it's important to create a sound foundation of financial education in your branches. It's unlikely that your entire employee base will buy in if there isn't a culture of financial literacy in the company.
The first and most obvious step to building a culture where financial education is celebrated is to make it a priority for the employees in EVERY area of your credit union. As with any culture change, it begins with the CEO, VPs, and top-level managers. For your employees to embrace a culture of financial education, YOU must embrace the importance, impact, and significance of learning more about managing money.
And then convey that to your people.
By discussing financial matters like credit scores, saving and investing, not overspending, and budgeting in your branch meetings your employees will begin to have those conversations amongst themselves and at home.
Communicate that you have their financial best interests at heart. Consider having each employee pull their own credit and have an education session with them about what each of the codes mean and how to clean up negative information. You might consider offering a financial counselor on-staff that can assist with budgeting, setting up a savings plan, and potentially introductions to a financial planner. Or, promote easy ways to set up a savings and investment plan using some of the credit union's products.
Let's face it, your front line staff, loan officers, and marketing team have all sat through training after training on the latest technology or compliance process. What they are sitting through is great for making sure the credit union runs smoothly, but does nothing to promote employee engagement or buy-in to what the credit union stands for.
At your next branch meeting, consider having a financial education session that helps them gain a more complete understanding of their own financial picture. Introduce a financial book club where you discuss personal finance books once a month or once a quarter.
Here's a list of potential books:
By having someone in your branch lead the discussions, you'll begin to see a hint of interest in the topic, followed by action being taken personally, course corrections on what they're doing with their own money, and ultimately a culture of financially literate credit union employees that will find ways to make their lives AND the business run more smoothly.
A hint of caution: If you're serious about creating a culture of financial literacy, understand that it may take some time. This is not a flavor of the month kind of undertaking but one that you'll have to commit to for at least 12-18 months. If you do, you'll notice a dramatic shift in the culture of your people. All for the better.

5 things to know after Bills end 6-game road losing streak by rallying past Dolphins, 23-21
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The Buffalo Bills finally won on the road, although it was a home game of sorts for their quarterback.
Playing in the stadium near his boyhood home, Thad Lewis helped the Bills rally with a last-minute field goal to beat the Miami Dolphins, 23-21, on Sunday.
The injury-plagued Bills (3-4) ended a streak of six consecutive road losses, including two this year. They won for only the third time in their past 18 away games.
"It meant a lot to get this win," Lewis said. "Wins are hard to come by in this league. It's even sweeter to get it at home."
The Bills won in Lewis' second start since being promoted from the practice squad to replace the injured EJ Manuel. The victory helped their bid to end a streak of five consecutive last-place finishes in the AFC East.
But even when things have been bleakest for the Bills, they tend to give the Dolphins fits. Since the start of 2004, Buffalo is 11-8 against Miami and 49-83 against everyone else.
Still, the loss carried extra sting for the Dolphins (3-3). A month ago they were basking in their best start since 2002, but they haven't won since, and they'll take a three-game losing streak to New England on Sunday.
"There are ups and downs that most teams encounter," coach Joe Philbin said. "The teams that have great character and great chemistry are able to overcome those downs that are usually there, and I believe our guys are able to do that."
Here are five things we learned in Buffalo's defeat of Miami:
MARIO IS STILL SUPER: With the game on the line, Mario Williams took advantage of the Dolphins' biggest weakness — pass protection.
Williams forced a fumble by sacking Ryan Tannehill with less than three minutes to go, setting up the winning 31-yard kick by Dan Carpenter with 33 seconds left.
Williams totaled two sacks, both in the fourth quarter, increasing his season total to 10. No previous Bills player reached double figures after only seven games.
Both of Williams' sacks came against tackle Tyson Clabo.
"I have to take full responsibility," Clabo said. "He made a big play at a crucial point in the game. That's why he's considered one of the best defensive ends in the league."
LEWIS OUTPLAYS TANNEHILL: Lewis was sacked four times and threw an interception, but he threw for 202 yards and helped the Bills convert 9 of 19 third downs.
He also won praise for his toughness, completing one pass for a first down even as a blitzing linebacker knocked his helmet off and sent it skittering upfield.
Tannehill, meanwhile, continued to be troubled by turnovers. Along with his fumble, he threw one interception that was returned for a touchdown and another when Miami was threatening.
CARPENTER KICKS LIKE A KEEPER: Carpenter spent five years kicking for the Dolphins before they released him in August, and he wondered what sort of reception he would receive from fans.
"I didn't know what to expect," Carpenter said. "After the first field goal, I got my answer."
Fans booed when he kicked a 20-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter. And they weren't happy when he lined up for the game-winner, either.
"I just thought, 'Kick it through those yellow things,'" he said.
Dolphins rookie Caleb Sturgis, who beat Carpenter out of a job, missed a 51-yard field goal in the first half when his kick hit the right upright.
ROBEY AND GIBSON COULD HAVE BEEN GYMNASTS: Bills cornerback Nickell Robey and Dolphins receiver Brandon Gibson took turns as acrobats, somersaulting across the goal line for touchdowns.
Robey returned an interception 19 yards on the game's third play. He was in the clear when he flipped into the end zone.
In the second quarter, Gibson caught a short pass from Tannehill and ran for the score, leaping over one defender at the goal line and splitting two others as he tumbled airborne into the end zone.
His spinning limbs made him look like a helicopter.
"I looked up and saw it on the scoreboard as I was on the ground," Tannehill said. "It was pretty fun to watch."
DOLPHINS' PLAY-CALLING RAISING QUESTIONS: The Dolphins averaged 4.8 yards per carry against one of the NFL's worst run defenses, but they ran the ball only 25 times and called 39 pass plays.
The Dolphins are throwing the ball two-thirds of the time, which is among the highest rates in the league. Philbin said the team's run-pass balance is easy to second-guess.
"Every time you pass the ball you can run it," he said, "and when you run it you can pass it."

Design for a Car community
About the competition: This competition is for making a design for a car community based on the software Handshakes and the forum Vbulletin.
You can find a working copy of it here. http://www.handshakesdemo.com/
Instead of using the standard theme we want something custom and we also want to add some functions to the software. The competition is to make 3 of the most important pages. The winner of the contest also needs to make the rest of the design. Remember that you don't need any coding and a lot of the pages are very similar with small changes. So the job is not as big as it looks. Check out the demo for yourself.
Since we are a car forum we also are going to have a special car profile and not just a social profile. The car profile is one of three templates you need to make in this competition. The others are the social profile and the front page of the community.
Remember if you win this competition you need to design the rest of the pages before you get paid, so if you only want to make the 3 pages then don't participate.
About the design: We have included 3 wireframes which is a description of where we want the different elements to be. We have also included picture to every wireframe so everyone will use the same pictures and don't have to look for different pictures to use in the design. We have also included the banners to use. You cannot change the amount of banners or the formats.
Please note that you can use any picture format you want, you don't need to use the format the pictures are in. If you want square avatars and not rectangular then it is up to you. You don't have to use the same amount of pictures if you think you have a better idea.
The wireframes are just a brief description so you know what elements that is required. So if you want 6 or 8 blog posts on the front page you can do that. You don't have to use the exact same sizes of the different elements that are in the wireframes. Neither do you need to use the same font style or size.
We have included our logo. If you don't want to use that logo you can design you own to fit your design.
The right column should be able to contain a 728 pixel width banner and the left column should be what is left of the total. The total page size is 1024 pixel.
Pages we like http://www.motortrend.com http://www.autoblog.com

Web 2.0 style Less is more We like big pictures as you can see on the wireframes
Boxy design with all the content in different boxes, not like on this; http://www.handshakesdemo.com/ No cars integrated in the design that can be recognized, we don't want to be tied to a specific car or model. No domination colors, like making the entire site and background black No people or objects integrated in the design, like wheels etc.

The budget included a last-minute raise for 100 certified substitutes, who were the focal point during contentious summer debates.
The Marion County School Board on Tuesday passed its final 2013-14 budget, ending a long summer of protests, debates and negotiations.
The budget included a last-minute raise for 100 certified substitutes, who were the focal point during contentious summer debates.
Superintendent of Schools George Tomyn planned in May to transform 100 teaching positions into full-time certified substitutes. These substitutes must have bachelor's degrees and at least a temporary state teaching certificate.
The controversy erupted when the district announced plans to pay the full-time subs only $100 per day — about half that of a first-year teacher — with no health benefits.
The decision caused several community and union protests, leading board members Nancy Stacy and Ron Crawford on a mission to have the positions reverted back to status quo with benefits.
Last Thursday, the board reached a compromise and asked the administration to pay full-time certified substitutes $132 per day — about $25,750 annually — with health benefits.
Tomyn ordered the financial staff to use $1 million of the district's dwindling fund balance, commonly called reserves, to pay for the board's decision to up the salary and benefits.
The budget passed 4-1 Tuesday night without discussion. Only board member Angela Boynton voted against the budget. Earlier in the meeting, she explained why she couldn't in good faith vote for the final budget.
She said only giving raises to substitute teachers sends a bad message to non-instructional employees. She does not want the non-instructional employees to feel slighted.
"I want everyone to know how important you all are to the school district," Boynton said.
Chris Altobello, the president of Marion Education Association, was the only speaker at the meeting. He reminded the board that the full-time teachers he represents have not gotten their experience pay increases — called steps — in recent years, yet the substitutes are getting a raise.
"We are meeting again Thursday," said Altobello of contract negotiations, stating he's hoping the current battle does not go into next spring.
The 2013-14 final budget of $456.4 million is $7.3 million less than the one for 2012-13. The district budgeted $313.6 million for its general fund, up by $1 million from July's tentative budget.
The reason for the $1 million increase was the board's decision to pay for health insurance and salary increases for the substitutes.
The overall millage remained at 7.339 mills, which means a homeowner will pay $733.90 for every $100,000 of taxable property value. That's $33.20 less than in 2012-13.
In May, Tomyn announced that the district was going to fall $29 million short to fund his beefed up proposed districtwide education plan.
That led Tomyn and his staff to remove many programs and forced them to reduce the number of teaching and non-instructional positions in the budget.
In the end, Tomyn's final staffing plan eliminated 525 positions, including 264 vacant positions that he had hoped to fill.
Tomyn laid off the other 261 employees, including all 160 first-year teachers and 77 district-paid paraprofessionals, often called teacher aides.
Nearly all those employees were offered jobs back after summer resignations and retirements opened up slots for the employees. About 50 teachers who were asked to come back declined the offers, most because they had new jobs.
Tomyn at first recommended a 30 percent cut of supplements paid to coaches and club sponsors who oversee children after school. That changed last week when Tomyn restored it back to 100 percent.
But after three budget workshops in August and early this month, most of the cuts that Tomyn proposed in May will be taking effect or already have been implemented. Those are:
• $14 million: Don't fill all the positions in his original staffing plan.
• $7 million: Exceed class-size limits.
• $2.2 million: Restructure elementary art, music, PE and media; elementary schools now share these non-core teachers.
• $556,000: Eliminate high school testing coordinators.
• $500,000: Reduce school instructional budgets.
• $413,000: Cut high school vocational assistant positions.
• $338,000: Cut 16 clerks at both middle and high schools.
• $312,000: Cut 13 district-funded physical educational technicians.
• $212,000: Cut middle and high school summer school in 2014.

As night falls at the band field at Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, members of the legendary B-CU Marching Wildcats begin to arrive for a practice session under the lights. They walk onto the field --first a few at a time-- then 300-plus strong, filling the field in a cacophony of various brass, winds and percussion warming up.
After some preliminary instructions from several drum majors, band director Donovan Wells goes over some finer points of their show to be performed Saturday at the 33rd edition of the Florida Classic, the annual football game between in-state rivals B-CU and Florida A & M University. For the next two hours, band members practice their pre-game and halftime shows in a marathon of intense, high-stepping marching and big-sound musical pageantry.

SLEEK can is extremely popular in the energy drink market because of its consumer appeal and the fact that it delivers superior environmental benefits as well as distribution and retail display economics.

As we've detailed before, both companies filed motions for a summary judgement, and in its ruling, the court sided with Apple on basically all the major points in this trial. The judge affirmed the legality of the EULA, agreed that Psystar broke the DMCA, and that the clone maker violated Apple's copyrights. This is what we call an eight-ender in curling.
As said, I'm down with the flu, so I don't feel like summarising everything in detail. You can download the order and see for yourself - it's not even that tainted by legalese. The trial itself is not over, however, as there are still a number of issues to work out.
In any case, this is a good example of the slippery slope I wrote about earlier this week. This opens the door for software companies to include - and enforce - all sorts of restrictive clauses in their EULAs, because Alsup's entire ruling is based on the fact that yes, Apple licensed Mac OS X instead of selling it.
It's a crazy situation, but I guess Psystar's own conduct is partially to blame here. In the order, Alsup mentioned sloppy legal conduct by Psystar's lawyers a few times, and the installation method Psystar used seemed very elaborate and complicated as well (multiple copies, disk images, and so on).
A win for Apple, a loss for consumers (that would be us). That software? It's not yours. You better step in line with whatever the software company tells you.

November 7, 2006-January 28, 2007
An inventive painter and printmaker, Adolph Gottlieb (1903–1974) was one of a group of American artists, including Mark Rothko and William Baziotes, who laid the theoretical foundations for Abstract Expressionism in an infamous letter written to the New York Times in June 1943. This exhibition documents the etchings Gottlieb produced in his Brooklyn home between 1933 and 1946. Gottlieb's prints are fascinating and complex works that trace the artist's development from stylized figurative work, through Surrealism, to his Pictographs of the 1940s. The AMAM's 1943 Gottlieb painting, The Rape of Persephone, will also be on view in this exhibition.

Harris' big night helps Magic down Bucks
Orlando, FL – Tobias Harris matched a career-high with 30 points and hit the game-tying 3-pointer with under two seconds left in regulation, and the Orlando Magic outlasted the Milwaukee Bucks in overtime, 113-103.
Harris also corralled a career-best 19 rebounds and dished out five assists for the Magic, who snapped a five-game losing streak. Nikola Vucevic put up a career-high 30 points as well while ripping down 20 boards, while Beno Udrih also had a double-double with 13 points and 11 assists.
Doron Lamb shot 4-of-6 from 3-point range on his way to 16 points for Orlando, while Maurice Harkless chipped in 14 points in the victory.
Monta Ellis led the Bucks with 21 points and 11 assists, but shot only 7-of-27 from the field. John Henson scored 17 points and put up career-highs in rebounds (25) and blocks (seven), while Mike Dunleavy also netted 17 points.
J.J. Redick and Marquis Daniels had 16 and 14 points, respectively, for Milwaukee, which has now lost four of its last five games but has already clinched a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
In a back-and-forth final quarter, Milwaukee grabbed hold of an 87-86 lead with 2:15 remaining on a Dunleavy 3-pointer. The Bucks were up by three in the waning seconds before Harris was fouled from beyond the 3-point arc and drained the basket to tie the contest at 95-95, but he missed the ensuing free-throw attempt and the game went to overtime.
In the extra session, the Magic set the tone on their first possession with a Vucevic field goal and never trailed from that point forward.
Orlando ran out to a comfortable 30-16 lead after one quarter, although Milwaukee got its act together in the second stanza to bring its deficit to just three, 48-45, heading into intermission.
The Bucks took a brief lead late in the third quarter following a pair of Dunleavy free throws, but the Magic closed out the frame with five straight points to take a 70-66 advantage.
Game Notes
Brandon Jennings (Achilles) and Larry Sanders (back) both left the game in the first half for Milwaukee and did not return ... Orlando shot just 3-of-8 from the foul line, while Milwaukee was 17-of-26 from the stripe ... Vucevic has gone for at least 20 points and 20 rebounds in back-to-back games ... Henson became the first player to tally at least 17 points, 25 rebounds and seven blocks since Shaquille O'Neal in 2004.

When wine aficionados get married, it's a beautiful thing and this Santa Ynez wedding is the proof. After meeting at the gym (thanks to a cupid trainer) this couple learned they had a whole lot of wine in common. Fast forward to this stunning affair held at the family's winery, Grassini Family Vineyards, with design and planning by Jill & Co. Events, florals by TOAST Santa Barbara and all the festivities captured by Lacie Hansen. It just goes to show, you might want to rethink skipping your next gym session.
From the planner... Katie and Dean met at a gym in Santa Barbara where their trainer pushed them to get to know each other better. When they finally went on a date they had much to talk about, both being in the wine industry, Katie the CEO of her families Grassini Family Vineyards, and Dean in wine distribution, also with a family winery, Alban Vineyards, up in San Luis Obispo County. Katie has always loved visiting Ireland, and she met her very own Irish boy here in CA. Dean loves vintage cars, and when he saw Katie driving her families 1954 Chevy, he knew he had found his American girl! The truck made it's way into some of the wedding details, providing a backdrop for the escort card display filled with vintage wine jugs hand lettered directing guests to their seats. The lettering on the invitations paid tribute to the branding of the winery where the guests would be gathering to celebrate Katie and Dean. The ceremony paid tribute to an Irish Tradition of ringing a bell to ward off evil spirits after they recited their vows and walked down the aisle, guests rang vintage bells tied with velvet ribbon and wooden rags with their diagram and "ring me". For cocktail hour guests sipped on Grassini and Alban wines in the middle of the vineyard. Guests dined lakeside at sunset under a canopy of 100 year old oaks. They were greeted at their seats with engraved oak menus with grassini's (Italian breadsticks), a nod to the bride's Italian heritage and families name. Guests were served a three course meal before getting up to dance the night away under the stars, lounge lakeside by the bar, and enjoy the passed desserts and late night snacks.

When it comes to Star Trek, the economy shouldn't be the first science fiction idea we try to turn into a reality.
While many countries in Europe are still facing austerity measures and the American government is still taking "a break," Switzerland is considering welfare that is beyond belief.
Some have called it a Star Trek economy. That's a fair analogy because it would only work in science fiction.
The proposal being considered would provide $2,800 each month to every resident of the country – man or woman, rich or poor, employed or unemployed.
It sounds great at first. The government stipends are intended to let everyone live with dignity and in comfort regardless of economic circumstances.
The idea behind the proposal is that if everyone is provided a livable wage, jobs that are beneficial but don't pay well would become more attractive. Artists would no longer be starving, volunteers would be able to donate time to non-profits while still making a personal profit, and stay at home parents would not make the same sacrifice that they do in a non-subsidized economy.
The only problem with this theoretically benevolent plan is that it would never work without equally aggressive and outlandish pricing controls.
John Schmitt, a senior economist at the progressive Center for Economic and Policy Research was quoted in a recent salon.com article saying, "This would allow people to survive and to live, with dignity, assuming that other systems stay in place."
But that's the biggest problem. Other systems couldn't stay in place.
Apparently none of the 100,000 people who signed the petition to force consideration of the plan have any concept that increasing the free money in the market by that amount, even if it were possible, would increase demand for goods significantly. If people had the right to choose whether to work at all because they were sufficiently provided for already, the supply of goods in the market would also probably be adversely affected. In the real world, where at least 100,000 Swiss residents haven't visited, increasing demand and decreasing supply will drive prices sky high. When that happens, the "free money" from the government will be drastically devalued and if the market is left to itself to determine prices, the "free money" will basically disappear to cost increases and cuts to other government services that are supplied by the state now.
If, somehow a plan is devised to control prices, the system would rapidly become impossible to maintain. Their national debt would soar as less revenue comes in and more money goes out.
Wouldn't it be nice if that kind of program would work?
It is hard to believe a group of elected officials would even consider this plan seriously.
The base wage might be a nice dream. When it comes to Star Trek, the economy shouldn't be the first science fiction idea we try to turn into a reality.
We should focus on beaming people from one location to another first. Then we can pursue a base wage.

Medical Alumni Association
The Medical Alumni Association was established in 1987 by medical graduates eager to keep in touch with each other after graduation. A strong tradition of reunions was ignited as alumni organised and attended these reunions. The association has grown over the years with the support of the Sydney Medical School and its many alumni who keep the connection alive by attending reunions, contributing to the Sydney Medical School alumni magazine, Radius, and attending the many functions organised for medical alumni throughout the year.
The depth of the commitment of our alumni has also seen the growth of medical alumni scholarships to medical students who are in financial need. With over twelve thousand members the association is well placed to preserve the integrity of our alumni as we strive to support and encourage them in all their endeavours.

Re: Catalan referendum
Yes, comma, that's exactly what I am suggesting.
Independent city states were the norm in much of Europe throughout the middle ages. In Italy city states like Florence, Venice and Lucca prospered.
In more recent times Hong Kong and Singapore are excellent examples of independent city states.
In practice though it is unthinkable that a modern European city would vote to become independent because cities have large sprawling suburbs where much of the city's population lives.
To take London as an example, where does it start and where does it end? Is Watford in London? Windsor? Reading?

Re: Catalan referendum
I think you're right on this Comma. That has to happen occasionally I suppose.
I don't think there is a desire for most people living in Catalonia to become independent. The Spanish government are however, making the mistake of pushing people too far by trying to squash the matter by force.
11:25 Tue Mar 27
Re: Catalan referendum
Infidel 9.12, this depends on what you define as a region. It could get silly. For example it appears that in Catalonia the region of Barca, the wealth generating area by far, is marginally in favour of staying with the Madrid government. Are you suggesting if Catalonia carried a proper referendum which voted to break away then the Barca region in the fullness of time could do the same?

Re: Catalan referendum
Nursey, to be fair, anti independence voters boycotted the vote because they didn't consider it legitimate.
It's childish of the Spanish not to allow a free vote like the UK or Canada did, but until they do, you won't know if there's a genuine majority for independence.
Spanish childishness seems to be a recurring theme when you think of issues like Catalonia, Gibraltar, Ceuta and Melilla.
9:12 Tue Mar 27
Re: Catalan referendum
If the majority population of any region wants to secede they should be allowed to secede. That's democracy.
Keeping them under the rule of the mother country against their will is a form of occupation, colonialism if you will.
Throughout history, the decision to crush secessionist movements has ended badly. The American Civil War is a case in point - everyone sings the praises of Abraham Lincoln for ending slavery but there were peaceful ways to bring that about without slaughtering 700,000 American boys by waging a brutal and illegal war against the secession States.
We did much the same with Ireland throughout the latter part of the 19th century. Once they had elected over 100 Nationalist MPs to Westminster it should have been a matter of moral justice to let them become independent with our blessing.
Same mistake being made in Spain today...
12:26 Tue Mar 27
Re: Catalan referendum
Yes I just cannot understand why cunts like Swiss, Gavros and Hammer & Pickle are so pro-EU when the President (not elected by the electorate) was guilty of persuading big business to open offices in Luxembourg when he was Finance Minister from 1989 through to being Prime Minister up to 2013.
All for less than 1% taxes. And he fought the EU during those days of self-interest. Now he is supposed to get big business to pay taxes.....
Yup ideal man for the job like Blatter was to FIFA. And no EU audits by independent accountants for donkeys years. No problem they audit their own accounts through an 'EU Court'.
No room for fraud there then! It's like Sullivan auditing West Ham's accounts....

Re: Catalan referendum
Well said Willtell, I am impressed.
I am not sure what happens now, the Independentists have lost their majority in the Catalan Parliament as Madrid keeps putting their politicians in jail. But I think the politicians can resign and be replaced by somene else in the party. I think they need to sort that out to pick a President, the last choice was just jailed. This just, slows everthing down. Over 3 months since the election and they have not been able to form a Government as they still need to pick the President. Madrid keeps changing the rules and putting their choices in jail.
THEN when they sort that out, just need to ask Madrid to give them back the right to Govern, which was suspended in October 2017.
All appears to be normal to the EU tossers.

Re: Catalan referendum
Madrid has issued an arrest warrant for Clara Ponsati now working in Saint Andrews University, Scotland and former Education Minister in the Catalan Governement. It will be interesting to see what happens there. Scottish police made tweet to say they were looking for her and her lawyer got in touch to say she would visit the police station in the next couple of days. All very quaint and British, clearly massive urgency to get her arrested...
Madrid extended arrest warrants to 25 of the elected Catalan Government that held the referendium in Oct 2017. Included is the former Education Minister Clara Ponsati, now working in Scotland.

Re: Catalan referendum
The Catalans are not involved in terrorist activity yet, and I hope they don't choose that path, but I can't see any other alternative if they want to take it further? Either way Spain will not play ball as they showed with the Basques.

FHB 6:00 Sun Mar 25
I agree with assassinations first for terrorists who want independence for their territory. Many terrorists are in it for the money but should not be bribed as they or others will come back again and blackmail for more and more, they are gangsters running many illegal money making schemes.
Most Governments have the military power to take them out, Spain had the 'Cojones', we are too PC. Money shouldn't be given to individuals, but Madrid has agreed to increase subsidies to the various Basque territories to help their economies as a sweetener to appease them, which is correct if it calms resentment.

I know they do rios. I love them really but like Scousers many of them are becoming a bunch of self-righteous wankers.
At least Catalan could be financially self-supporting...

When it comes to the exploits of the Brits abroad, during our halcyon empire days, the scots bear a disproportionate share of the glory.
Unfortunately for them, they also must share their burden of shame for empire and slavery.

As a result of the community desire for more clear and accessible information, the Cartographers have decided to find a suitable way to have all the necessary info up to date and easy to find. After considering that another drastic change (like the addition of more nested subforums) would not have helped so much and after considering that Map Foundry has 3 main area of activity (develope maps, informations/tools and discussion), we have decided to not change again the whole layout, but just to split it.
The map foundry is now divided into 3 main sections (or categories) with the following format:
- Foundry Discussions
- Competitions
- Tools, Tutorials & Guides
- Tools
- Guides
- Map Foundry
- Drafting Room
- Main Foundry Workshops
- Final Forge
- Viewing Gallery
As you can see, we have also decided to split the Tools, Tutorials & Guides section in two parts. Now every the mapmakers (old or new) will be able to find the necessary information or tools more easily. All links/threads were updated, tools attached to posts and now all the essential info have a visible place in their dedicated forum. I think that now no one can say that is not able to find something!
But there's more!
It was January 2008 when the first (and only) edition of the Mapmaker Handbook was posted. During the years the foundry has changed its face and the map process has improved a lot and now, the Handbook is a bit old and outdated. What? We can't have a dedicated forum to fill with outdated information!
But don't worry, the Cartographers, with the help of a small group of users, have worked hard behind the scenes to collect all the required informations and show all them into a single place.
As result of this long-hard work, I'm very proud to release the new version of the Official Mapmaker Handbook
And more again!
With the release of our new handbook we have also decided to refine/officialize some parts of the foundry process:
Removal of the design Brief
Since when it was introduced, the Design Brief never worked like we had imagined it. These days it seems more a burocratic step than something really useful, both for mapmakers and CAs. For this reason we've decided to remove it.
But for a thing that is gone, the evil CAs are going to add a new one:
Pre-made template
All new topics into the drafting room will have a pre-populated post. Athough we know that everyone has his way to do things, it's important that all the necessary information are visible (and updated) in the first post, for this reason fill the pre-made template will be mandatory. Don't take it like another thing to do or a restriction, because it's not in this way! The information required are all basic info, things that a good mapmaker will write in his first post in any case. Let me also state clear that you can add to the post anything else you want, but fill the template first.
Supersizes Applications
It has passed a while since we introduced the super sized maps, but we never formalized a real procedure for them. From now, any mapmaker that needs to go super-size can apply for them using a dedicated thread into the Drafting Room. You can find additional info about the supersize applications into our new handbook.
That's all for now, but stay tuned because there're other things in the pipeline!

For Part 2 of the Handy SQL Server Function Series I decided to tackle parsing useful information from the @@VERSION function, because I am an idiot. It turns out I was confused about CHARINDEX() vs. PATINDEX() and it pretty much invalidated my original solution. All is not lost though, this mistake turned out to be informative for me, and hopefully for you.
Referring back to the "Version" view in the prelude I started with the following query to extract the version number:
SELECT DISTINCT SQLVersion, SUBSTRING(VersionString,PATINDEX('%-%',VersionString)+2, 12) VerNum
I used PATINDEX() to find the first hyphen "-" character in the string, since...

Just a quick post I should've done yesterday but I was recovering from SQL Saturday #48 in Columbia, SC, where I went to some really excellent sessions by some very smart experts. If you have not yet attended a SQL Saturday, or its been more than 1 month since you last did, SIGN UP NOW!
While searching the OBJECT_DEFINITION() of SQL Server system procedures I stumbled across the DEFAULT_DOMAIN() function in xp_grantlogin and xp_revokelogin. I couldn't find any information on it in Books Online, and it's a very simple, self-explanatory function, but it could be useful if you work in a multi-domain environment....

More specifically, the lesser-known functions (like @@OPTIONS), and maybe some interesting ways to use well-known functions (like using PARSENAME to split IP addresses) I think this is a veritable goldmine of useful information, and researching for the presentation has confirmed that beyond my initial expectations.I even found a few undocumented/underdocumented functions, so for the first official article in this series I thought I'd start with 2 of each, COLLATIONPROPERTY() and COLLATIONPROPERTYFROMID().COLLATIONPROPERTY() provides information about (wait for...

Car Deals
Luxury Car Deals: November 2013
If you're looking for a new luxury car this month, you've come to the right place. Our list of luxury car deals includes incentives and special offers on some of our favorite high-end new models whether you're looking to lease, finance or pay with cash.
Acura ILX
The Acura ILX is a compact, front-wheel-drive luxury sedan that gives buyers an affordable entry level into the upscale Acura brand. The 2014 ILX is even more affordable in November thanks to two special offers from Acura. Through the end of the month, lease shoppers can get a 2014 ILX for 36 months with payments starting at just $209 per month after $2,499 down. That figure jumps to $270 per month if you'd rather put nothing down. And for qualified drivers who want to finance, Acura is offering 0.9 percent interest for up to 60 months on all 2013 and 2014 ILX models still in stock.
BMW 5 Series
The BMW 5 Series is a midsize luxury car offered with 4-, 6- or 8-cylinder engines. It also offers diesel power, all-wheel drive and a 5-door hatchback GT body style. Through the end of the month, any 2014 5 Series is a good deal for shoppers looking to finance. BMW is offering 2.99 percent interest for up to 36 months on all 5 Series models -- a departure from the brand's usual 3.99 percent offer. For lease shoppers, the best deal is a 2014 528i, which boasts payments from $489 per month for 36 months after $4,214 down at lease signing.
Infiniti G37
The Infiniti G37 is a midsize luxury sedan that offers rear- or all-wheel drive. With its replacement, the Infiniti Q50, reaching dealers, the G37 is an exceptional deal in November. Through the end of the month, shoppers can lease a 2013 G37 with payments from just $299 per month for 24 months after $2,499 down at signing. Best of all, drivers who need all-wheel drive won't find an increased payment, just a down payment that's slightly raised to $2,699. Unfortunately, Infiniti doesn't have any finance or cash-back deals on the G37 this month.
Lincoln MKZ
Lincoln's new MKZ premium sedan is a midsize 4-door with an emphasis on smooth-riding, boldly styled luxury. In November, it's available with several strong deals -- especially if you're interested in a 2013 model. Qualified shoppers can get 0 percent interest on the 2013 MKZ for up to 60 months, while shoppers trading in a competitor's car can get up to $1,000 cash back. Two lease deals are also available: Gas-powered MKZ models start at $329 per month for 36 months after $3,769 down at lease signing, while the MKZ Hybrid starts from $389 per month with a slightly higher down payment.
Mercedes C-Class
The Mercedes C-Class offers rear- or all-wheel drive and a more mature demeanor compared to the new, boldly styled CLA. In November, the C-Class is offered with several strong lease deals. The lowest price is on the 2014 C250 sedan, which offers payments from $359 per month for 39 months after $4,053 down at lease signing. For those who need all-wheel drive, the C300 4Matic touts payments from $379 per month for 39 months after $4,073 down. And the sleek C250 Coupe is available from $399 per month for 39 months after $3,844 down at lease signing.
What it means to you: Luxury car deals are increasingly available as the year winds down and automakers fight for the top sales spot among rivals.

In the days of Errol Flynn and Judy Garland, a celebrity's addiction was a nuisance to be contained. A celebrity in treatment, however, was a publicity disaster that studios and record labels worked overtime to keep a secret.
Today, that's no longer the case. A stay in rehab is no longer regarded as a career death knell—rather, it's viewed as a good sign. Many celebrities who've sought treatment have not only kicked their habits, but have also gotten their careers back in a form that sometimes surpasses anything they accomplished in the past.
Click ahead to see the celebrities whose careers thrived after rehab.

There's Really Nothing Like ItDesigned with one purpose in mind: to deliver the ultimate experience in sharing storage and accessing data on your network. From the moment you plug it in, you'll be able to have instant access and start sharing data. With its Gigabit Ethernet port, the Drobo 5N is perfect for any connected home, home office, or small office environment in need of a simple, safe device for sharing and backing up every piece of data over your network. Just plug it into any switch or wireless router and you're ready to go. When you need dedicated performance for uploading of large media files, you can even connect the Drobo 5N to your Ethernet port on your computer without any configuration! The Drobo 5N is easy-to-use, expandable, flexible, and most importantly… keeps your data safe.Leave Your Limitations Behind… Go BeyondRAID®Built on our award-winning BeyondRAID technology, the Drobo 5N protects your data without any intervention – even in the event of multiple drive failures. You can even switch from single to dual disk redundancy with a single click, ensuring enterprise-level dual parity data protection when required. Drobo's with BeyondRAID are also self-healing and have virtual hot-spares. If a drive happens to fail, Drobo will automatically re-layout the data to return to a protected state without disruption.Drobo takes the up front guess work out of determining the amount of capacity you require. Buy the capacity you need today, and when you need more storage, simply replace your smallest drive with a larger one and immediately use that capacity in seconds. You can even mix and match drive brands, capacities and speeds.To further enhance your experience, every Drobo comes with Smart Volume technology. Smart Volumes® are thinly provisioned volumes that automatically utilize capacity as needed from a common pool of storage. Additionally, as data is deleted, free capacity is returned to that common pool, immediately increasing the available capacity.BeyondRAID along with Smart Volumes deliver next-generation storage technology by bringing together enhanced data protection, reliability, expandability, and ease-of-use.Compact, Expandable DesignExpanding your storage capacity with a Drobo couldn't be easier. There's no long, risky process to add capacity to a Drobo – no need to go through the time consuming and complex administration of destroying your RAID sets and recreating with larger drives; and then finally restoring from your backup.

The unique compact, carrier-less drive-bay design results in an attractive, efficient storage array that won't dominate your valuable desk space.If you're running low on space, the lights on the front of the Drobo 5N tell you exactly what to do. The innovative, user-friendly industrial design allows you to add or hot-swap larger capacity drives, without tools, on the fly, for storage expansion with zero downtime. Expand your capacity without missing a beat while safely storing and backing up all personal data with ease and peace of mind. It's that simple!Capacity and PerformanceUsually reserved for larger enterprise-class storage solutions, the Drobo 5N gives you the option to implement Hot Data Caching through the Drobo Accelerator Bay. This feature intelligently uses high-performance flash to accelerate performance, allowing the fastest possible access to your data.To keep capacity of your Drobo 5N at a maximum, the Drobo Accelerator Bay accepts an industry-standard mSATA SSD, leaving all five 3.5" drives bays available for high-capacity HDDs.If getting the fastest performance possible is your thing, you can also load up every drive bay with SSDs. Drobo 5N gives you the flexibility to choose!DroboAppsDrobo Apps are embedded applications that extend the capabilities of the Drobo 5N. Partnering with strategic application vendors and solution providers (e.g. Barracuda Copy & Plex), Drobo now offers enhanced features that augment user data interaction. Drobo Apps are designed to be simple to install and configure – just like a Drobo! Installation is performed from within Drobo Dashboard, and all applications are fully supported by Drobo and our technology partners.

A South Dakota bar owner convicted of raping three girls after serving them alcohol has been sentenced to serve 100 years in prison.
Thirty-five-year-old Werner Fajardo (fa-HAHR'-doh), of Sioux Falls, owned the El Cuervo bar in Huron. He was found guilty in August of assaulting a 12-year-old girl and two 14-year-olds at the bar late last year. State regulators revoked Fajardo's liquor license in January and the bar closed.
Third Circuit Judge Jon Erickson sentenced Fajardo on Tuesday, calling the case one of the worst rape cases he had seen in 35 years behind the bench.
Defense attorney Carmen Means says Fajardo continues to maintain his innocence.

The media accreditation process for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 is now open. This is an online process that can be followed by clicking on www.dnanetworks.co.in/iccwcaccreditation.
As part of the application process you will need to upload a jpeg photograph, a letter of approval/assignment from your editor and a jpeg or pdf version of a relevant piece of identification. As such, it will help you as you fill out your application to have those documents ready in advance to upload.
The closing date for applications is 15 November 2010.
Important notes:
· Given the large number of applicants expected, space for media will be limited. Only working journalists with specific assignments will be accredited to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011. It is up to the relevant sports editors to limit the numbers of people applying from their specific organisations.
· Accreditation for the event does not guarantee access to a specific match. During the application stage it is necessary to indicate which matches you intend to cover. For popular fixtures a ticketing system will be in place. As in the past, there will be a re-accreditation process in place for the knock-out stages.
· Generally, a maximum of two individuals per organisation will be granted access to any one match. Again, this is purely a question of available space.
· For members of the travelling media requiring multiple-entry visas to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka or India, further information will be provided once your application has been approved.
· Freelance journalists must also supply a letter of assignment from the commissioning editor of a genuine media outlet that is registered with the relevant government information agency or department.
· Late applications cannot be entertained.
· Accreditation for the event is being looked after by an external agency. Therefore, all queries pertaining to media accreditation should be forwarded to email@example.com. Please do not reply to this email address.
· Broadcast rights-holders: All television rights-holders/official television broadcasters for ICC CWC 2011 should contact Sunil Manoharan from ESPN STAR Sports at firstname.lastname@example.com and all other rights-holders (radio and news access) should contact Simon Varney, ICC Media Rights and Broadcast Officer, at email@example.com, for details on accreditation process.
· Terms and conditions for attending this event in the role of media are available at the time of applying and must be accepted before your application can be processed.

1 goal every 1 1/2 games in MLS. That's not counting assists.
Incredible production. 136 MFLS fantasy points last year.

i didn't either but made room for him eventually. i imagine he
will be owned by most teams so leaving him off could be a
great contrarian play (or a huge mistake, of course).

I've been vacillating between Keane and Zardes. One of my own tenets is not to have two players from the same team at the same position. I'm leaning on going with the cheaper LA option, as there are several other maximum salary players that are hard to ignore, and we can only afford so many of them. from Dynamo Salem

It won't kill you if you have other high producers on your roster. The other question is, will he be as prolific without Sarvas and Donovan. Two big pieces from last year that were removed. I'd expect a slow start from Gerrard. They will still be good but I expect them to play differently, probably wider. from rancho chevron fc

Secret Videos Prompted Bowe Bergdahl Taliban Prisoner Swap
Rapid Deterioration of Soldier's Health Persuaded Leaders to Back Exchange
Two secret videos showing rapid deterioration in Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's health persuaded reluctant military and intelligence leaders to back the prisoner swap that has stoked a backlash, officials said Tuesday, as the Army launched a new probe into why the soldier disappeared from base shortly before his capture by the Taliban in 2009.
The decision that brought about Sgt. Bergdahl's freedom on Saturday continues to draw criticism. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.), head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Tuesday that...

Babies need baby food, and it'll be some time before they eat steak...Do you remember Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham? The whole book was done with only 50 different words. That's what we need to learn Koine: lots and lots of simple, easy sentences, where we know the vocabulary and can practice case and verb form recognition until it ceases to be conscious. Preferably, these simple sentences would be arranged in a compelling, or at least interesting, narrative. (Stephen Krashen calls this the "Compelling Input Hypothesis.")

My guess is that there will be a whole lot of outrage and then nothing will happen. Story of the last who knows how many years.I imagine that this creates something of a vacuum in DC for those who lean left and want to go into civil rights law. Next summer should be a great time to be in DC for 2L's who want to split between a firm and DoJ civil rights division.::coughs::

The Song Peddler belted the ballads of Billy Joel from his converted bicycle-baby grand as the autumn sun settled upon the weather worn bricks of Flagler Ave.
A local teen danced in the colorful rhythms of her future hoop. Children ran in and out of the warm ocean waters, hiding in the shadows, running through the light. Kayakers balanced upon the motions of moonlit waves, while lovers held hands, embracing the orange glow that consumed the night sky.
October's Hunter's Moon rose above New Smyrna Beach on Friday, glorious and auspicious, bringing young and old to witness the beauty and specter that extended summer into night.

As Cereal Slips, a New Battle Over Breakfast Dollars
Kellogg Gets Squeezed by McDonald's, Taco Bell as Tastes Shift to High-Protein Foods
Breakfast has become the final frontier in the struggle over health, convenience and profit in the U.S. diet.
Starved for growth at other mealtimes, companies like Yum Brands Inc., Burger King Worldwide Inc. and Kellogg Co. are battling to change how Americans start their day. But even as consumers back away from cereal to experiment with more protein-rich foods, their habits remain otherwise entrenched: most Americans still eat breakfast at home and follow morning routines more rigid than during the rest of the day....
