Texas may consider rewarding companies for violating a key Obamacare provision.
State Rep. Jonathan Stickland (R) introduced a bill in the Texas House of Representatives on Thursday that would give tax breaks to companies that don't cover emergency contraception such as the morning-after pill, the Austin American-Statesman reports. Under Obamacare, company health insurance plans are required to fully cover employees' contraception costs, and companies must pay a federal fine if they do not.
The Texas bill, if it becomes law, could help wipe out the financial disincentive for some companies to not cover emergency contraception. The state tax break would be up to the total amount that companies pay in state taxes or the total amount of the federal fine, according to the Austin American-Statesman.
Obamacare's contraception mandate has faced a number of court challenges. A federal judge ruled in November that Hobby Lobby must cover employees' contraception costs after the company filed a lawsuit requesting an exemption, claiming that the contraception mandate violated their religious freedom. Federal judges have dismissed several several similar lawsuits. The Supreme Court declined to block the contraception mandate in December.
Some companies' opposition to the contraception mandate may hurt their bottom line. Hobby Lobby's vocal opposition to covering contraception has spurred a backlash, with a petition to boycott the company garnering more than 70,000 signatures.

Cool. Still happy we got rid of him.
Anybody just see that?
Absolutely ballin this year. Even being physical.
Looks like he decided he wanted to be a football player again.
Cool. Still happy we got rid of him.
Is his contract up?
He's been good for the past 2 years. As much as he clashed with Rex, he's exactly the type of player this defense has been missing. Dwight Lowery would be great to have as well. Oh well.
LOL. This guy is always in all-pro form in contract years. NYC distraction were too much for him, don't miss him at all
Kerry was a great player for us back in 06 and 07, the best on the team, but he has been gone for a while and not worth discussing. But I will say it is the biggest gaff of Tanny/Rex era, trading him was a mistake and the value we got in return was terrible.
He's not a football player.

Joan C. Williams
Professor Joan C. Williams was interviewed by Forbes about her new book, What Works for Women at Work.
Says Williams: "Ninety-six percent of the women I talked to [for the book] reported to us about one or more patterns of gender bias. When I started out, gender bias shaped my career profoundly. I was astonished it was still out there."
Her most provocative takeaway: "The idea among Baby Boomer women that the most effective way to counter 'tightrope' bias is to use what I call gender judo. You take feminine stereotypes and flip them around so they propel you forward instead of hold you back." Read more from Forbes.
In a separate interview, Williams explained to Reuters how the focus on face time at the office hurts women's pay. "Workplace norms cement felt truths that link long hours with manliness, moral stature, and elite status." Read more here.

The thing is, Car Rental market is very competitive one and rates differences for comparable quality and service are relatively small, sometimes as small as $10 to $20. These minuet price differences are going to vanish in the wind when you consider the long lines and lost time at the cheapest renter counter, drop charges for remote destinations, late return fines, and gasoline inflated rates as well as other service charges you didn't think about when you shopped for the "best deal".
Don't get us wrong, we don't like to pay higher prices more than you do. We do recommend to shop around and check the various rates available, especially when it's so easy to do it via the Internet at comparison sites.
All we say here you need to consider other things beside the price and when you compare please make sure you compare apples to apples and not apples to pears.
Who is using the car, are you by yourself on a business trip or you are traveling with the whole family? How much luggage are you going to have, does the car you are thinking about is big enough to have you all plus all your hand luggage and big suitcases? If not, consider to change to a mini van or a car with extra large trunk.
Do you need an Infant seat or a child booster? make sure it is mentioned clearly with your order, usually there is a shortage of these seats and they are provided for extra charge. Check the state laws for where you are traveling.
A new law in Denver for instance, requires Booster Seats for all 4 and 5 year olds who are not 55 inches tall.
Do you actually need the car in the town or city at the first few days? If not, consider to take a taxi, a bus, a train or the hotel shuttle into the city and when it's time for you to go out of town and travel around, then, rent the car from the city location and by that save up to 15% on Air-Port charges as well as on city parking fees.
Are you going to a very warm and humid destination? If yes, it's recommended to order a car with air conditioning, usually the price difference is negligible, the problem is that it's not available in all destinations like in some European countries.
Most major rental car companies allow for unlimited mileage in the same state, but it's a good idea to check their policy before confirming. Many smaller local independent companies charge mileage after 100-200 free miles per day.
As mentioned before price is not the only factor to consider when choosing a car rental company. If you choose a very small, no-name company, don't expect them to provide you with service across all nation or continent, what would you do if the car is needed to be replaced or serviced for some reason?
Frequent renter programs, Like airlines and hotels, major car rental companies track their customers' rental histories and offer preferential service to loyal customers. Most of the major companies offer frequent renter programs that are similar to airline frequent-flyer programs and hotel frequent-guest programs.
Preferred renter clubs, Most major car rental companies also offer preferred renter programs or clubs (one example is the Hertz #1 Club). When you belong to one of these clubs, you get preferential treatment, including automatic upgrades when those cars are available. You can join these programs at any time, even if you are a first-time renter with that company.
While basic-level club memberships are often free, higher-level memberships (as in the Hertz #1 Gold Club, which allows you to bypass the rental counter) generally come with a price tag. What most people don't realize is that it's often possible to avoid the membership fee by simply writing or calling your car rental company and asking them to waive it. They will do it because the car rental industry is very competitive, and they want your business
If you're still faced with a steep rate, try getting discounts based on your affiliations with organizations like AARP, AAA or others. These discounts are usually not great, but they are better than nothing.
In addition, always check for corporate rates if applicable to your situation.
Some of the Insurance terms seem to be confusing, let's try to clear them out first.
CDW - Collision Damage Waiver.
LDW - Loss Damage Waiver.
PDW - Physical Damage Waiver.
PAI - Personal Accident Insurance.
PEC - Personal Effects Coverage.
ALI - Additional Liability Insurance.
Many of the Credit Cards have most of these coverage, therefore it's not mandatory to purchase excessive coverage. It's better to check this issue with your travel agent, insurance agent and your credit card company a head of time. Some Car rental companies require that you show proof of insurance.
Also be aware that your personal insurance probably doesn't apply to your rental car when traveling overseas. All this is somewhat complicated and at times confusing because there are no industry standards for terminology and policies vary by locations.
After a long flight and the waiting in lines for your luggage and afterwards for your keys at the car rental counter, it is understandable you just want to take the rented car and drive away to your hotel, but wait! Here is a list of things you must check first.
Start by making a careful check around the car, look for any small dents or scratches, in case you find some, don't be lazy, go back to the office and ask a representative of the rental company to write down all of these dents, ask for a copy of that report. Other wise you might be responsible for damages you didn't perform.
Open the trunk, make sure you have a spare tire, a jack and set of tools, there is noting more irritating than to find out in the middle of nowhere that you don't have a jack when you need to replace a flat tire.
Many car companies will provide you with an extra key if you ask for one. This can come in handy for some of us who are absent minded.
It is recommended to spend some time to get acquainted with the cars' features and switches, make sure you know where the lights switches are, how to operate the windshield wipers, the air conditioner and even set your favorite radio stations as well as set your side mirrors. It might be quiet frustrating to fight with the new switches while driving, when all of a sudden it starts raining.
Make sure you have a map and it's better to spend few more minutes and plan your driving route.
Last but certainly not least, If you have a lot of luggage, don't park the car in the parking lot and go for lunch, in many countries, this is an easy target for the thieves, It's better to buy some sandwiches and beverages in the air-port, or stop somewhere along the way for refreshing but never leave the car unattended.
Shoppers can furthermore reserve rental cars while travelling by using your smartphone.

This page explains how to install and use the pre-built templates that ship with this project. If the templates are not exactly what you need, see the documentation on creating custom templates.
The following instructions assume you have the necessary privileges to make changes to your Cacti server. You probably need to become root on that server.
It is a good idea to make sure your Web browser doesn't save your password when you're using Cacti. There are some screens in the administrative interface that have hidden password fields you can't see, but the browser will fill in, and it'll cause the templates to be configured incorrectly.
You can download the tarball from the Percona Software Downloads directory or install the package from Percona Software Repositories.
You will need to get a copy of the scripts on the server, and you need access to the templates locally, so you can import them through your web browser. Therefore, you should probably download the monitoring plugins to your own computer, and then upload them to your Cacti server as well.
Let's assume you have just downloaded version 1.0.0, in percona-monitoring-plugins-1.0.0.tar.gz. Unpack the archive with the following command at a command prompt:
root@cactiserver# tar zxf percona-monitoring-plugins-1.0.0.tar.gz
Repeat the same process on your local computer. You should now have a directory containing several files. (The directory name will change with each new release). Change into this directory:
root@cactiserver# cd percona-monitoring-plugins-1.0.0/cacti/
Before you install, read the specific instructions for the templates you plan to install. These are linked from this document's table of contents.
The general process is to copy the data-gathering scripts into place, and then to import the templates via the web interface.
Copy the PHP scripts into your Cacti installation's scripts directory, on the
server that hosts Cacti. This is usually
/usr/share/cacti/site/scripts/, but
might be different on your system. Let's assume you want to install the MySQL
root@cactiserver# cp scripts/ss_get_mysql_stats.php /usr/share/cacti/site/scripts
Now import the template files through your web browser. In the Cacti web
interface's Console tab, click on the Import Templates link in the left
sidebar. Browse to the directory containing the unpacked templates, select the
XML file for the templates you're installing, and submit the form. In our
example, the file will be named something like
Inspect the page that results. You should see something like the following:
Cacti has imported the following items:
[success] Percona Negate CDEF [new]
GPRINT Preset
[success] Percona MySQL Server Version t1.0.0:s1.0.0 [new]
[success] Percona Normal [new]
Data Input Method
[success] Percona Get MySQL Stats/MyISAM Indexes IM [new]
... snip ...
Data Template
[success] Percona MyISAM Indexes DT [new]
... snip ...
Graph Template
[success] Percona Indexes GT [new]
... snip ...
Host Template
[success] Percona Server HT [new]
The above is an abbreviated list. Every line should show "success" at the beginning, and "new" (or "update" if you're upgrading) at the end.
To install scripts and templates you can run:
yum install percona-cacti-templates
apt-get install percona-cacti-templates
Now you have to import templates using Cacti web interface as described in the tarball installation above (do not need to copy any scripts but requires the local access to the templates from a tarball) or simply import templates from the command line, e.g.:
php /usr/share/cacti/cli/import_template.php --filename=/usr/share/cacti/resource/percona/templates/cacti_host_template_percona_gnu_linux_server_ht_0.8.6i-sver1.0.3.xml \
The templates themselves don't need to be configured, but you might need to configure the scripts that they execute to gather their data. For example, you might need to specify a username and password to connect to MySQL and gather statistics. There are several ways to do this.
The simplest way is to embed the configuration options in the script file
itself. Open the script file (such as
scripts/ss_get_mysql_stats.php) with
your favorite text editor, and look for a section like the following:
# ============================================================================
# ============================================================================
# Define MySQL connection constants in config.php. Arguments explicitly passed
# in from Cacti will override these. However, if you leave them blank in Cacti
# and set them here, you can make life easier. Instead of defining parameters
# here, you can define them in another file named the same as this file, with a
# .cnf extension.
# ============================================================================
$mysql_user = 'cactiuser';
$mysql_pass = 'cactiuser';
$mysql_port = 3306;
... [snip]...
Each PHP file has its own configuration options, and there should be comments that explain them. In the above example, the options are MySQL connection options. Change them as desired, and save and close the PHP file.
This method this has some disadvantages. If you upgrade the PHP script file, you'll lose your configuration. And this only works if all of your monitored resources need the same configuration parameters.
If you don't want to store the configuration options directly into the PHP
script file or you want to preserve your settings after the package update,
you can create another file with the same name and the filename
.cnf. Place this under
/etc/cacti/ and ensure it is valid PHP.
This file will be included by the PHP script file,
so you can define the same configuration options there that you might define in
the PHP script file. For example, you might create
/etc/cacti/ss_get_mysql_stats.php.cnf with the following contents:
$mysql_user = "root";
$mysql_pass = "s3cret";
Notice the opening PHP tag, but the absence of a closing PHP tag. This is to comply with PHP standards and avoid problems. Be careful not to add any extra lines or whitespace at the beginning or end of the configuration file, because that can cause whitespace to be included in the script's output.
This method still has the disadvantage that it works only if you use the same global configuration for every monitored resource. If you need to specify a username and password for each host or each graph, it won't work.
A MySQL user should be configured with the proper privileges.
You can also place
.cnf file in the same directory as the PHP script file
(just to keep the backward compatibility)
but this is a security risk as
scripts/ folder falls under the web directory.
/etc/cacti/ is the recommended location for
.cnf file.
In any case, ensure that any files under
scripts/ are not accessible from Web.
Check out Hardening Cacti setup guide.
The above configuration methods make configuration available to the scripts as PHP variables, but it is also possible to pass command-line arguments to the scripts. If you execute the script without any options, you'll see the available options. For example:
# php ss_get_mysql_stats.php
Required option --host is missing
Usage: php ss_get_mysql_stats.php --host <host> --items <item,...> [OPTION]
--host MySQL host
--items Comma-separated list of the items whose data you want
--user MySQL username
--pass MySQL password
--port MySQL port
--server-id Server id to associate with a heartbeat if heartbeat usage is enabled
--nocache Do not cache results in a file
--help Show usage
You can make Cacti pass configuration options to the script with these command-line options when it executes the script. To do this, you will need to do one of two things. You can customize specific graphs that require configuration options, or you can generate your own templates so every graph requires you to fill in values for the options.
Here's how to make specific graphs accept command-line arguments. From the Console tab, click into Data Templates. Find the desired Data Template and click it so you can edit it. We will use 'Percona MySQL Binary/Relay Logs DT' as an example. Now, check the checkboxes so the desired command-line options use per-data-source values. This means that the global template's value doesn't override the individual graph's values; the individual graphs must specify their own values. For example, the following figure shows how to set the checkboxes so that username and password are per-data-source:
Next find the data source by clicking into Data Sources. Now that you've specified that this data source should use per-data-source values for the username and password, there are text boxes to fill in:
Cacti will now pass the given arguments to the PHP script when it executes. Here's a snippet from the Cacti log, showing this in action:
10/26/2009 03:00:09 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[1] DS[18] CMD:
/usr/bin/php -q /usr/share/cacti/site/scripts/ss_get_mysql_stats.php
--host 127.0.0.1 --items kx,ky --user root --pass s3cret --port 3306
Creating graphs is the easiest step of the process.
If you're upgrading from an earlier version of the template, you might need to change the Host Template to None, submit the change, and then change it back to the desired template after the page reloads.
After you create the graphs, wait until the poller runs once, and then check to make sure your new graphs render as images.

A hip-hop star's MySpace dreams
Business 2.0 columnist John Heilemann talks with music impresario Damon Dash about his new social networking venture and why he'd rather be Bill Gates than Steve Jobs.
(Business 2.0 Magazine) -- The New York office of Damon Dash isn't your typical high-tech startup CEO's spread. The space is vast and the ceiling is vaulted. Painted on the wall is a giant red handgun bearing the inscription "Crime Fighter." In the corner is an antique barber's chair -- in which the man himself is seated, getting his head shaved.
"My barber says it's the best chair he's ever seen," Dash reports. "I took it off a Rockefeller yacht."
The Harlem-born, 36-year-old Dash, who rose to prominence in the 1990s as the hip-hop impresario behind the likes of Jay-Z and Kanye West, has always had a thing about Rockefeller. His first company was Roc-A-Fella Records; his second was the B-boy apparel house Rocawear. He co-founded both of them with his pals Jay-Z and Kareem "Biggs" Burke.
But after Dash and Jay-Z split up in 2005, Dash was reportedly left with a net worth of $50 million and not a piece of either Roc. Since then he has undertaken a variety of entrepreneurial activities, from fashion to filmmaking. And now he's suddenly thrown himself into the realm of social networking.
Dash's new Web venture is BlockSavvy, a site aimed at what he dubs the "urban-lifestyle demographic." When I ask what motivated this endeavor, Dash answers bluntly, "Money." When I ask him to elaborate, he turns to Burke, who explains, "After MySpace sold for $580 million, we said, damn, we gotta get us some of that."
Such comments, of course, may seem a sign that the Web 2.0 bubble has peaked, that the greater fools are rushing in. But Dash and Burke are clearly no fools. And whether BlockSavvy succeeds or not, its approach suggests much about what direction social networking is headed.
The real driving force behind BlockSavvy, in fact, isn't either Dash or Burke. It's a young Web designer, Kwame DeCuir, who was Dash's technical consultant on his BET reality show Ultimate Hustler. Trained in computer science at the University of Texas at Austin, DeCuir was likewise struck by the success of MySpace -- especially since, as he says, "I wasn't too impressed with their technology, and they had no real business model." So he set out to create something better and persuaded Dash and Burke to back him.
What DeCuir and his team built, as he describes it, is a site that offers all the social-networking basics -- profiles, content sharing, blogging -- in a rich-media environment segmented at the moment into three "neighborhoods" appealing to different groups. Once users choose where to "live," they can set up 3-D-rendered, photorealistic rooms and trick them out with virtual branded products.
These they purchase with "SavvyDollars" earned by spending time interacting with the site. They can also use their virtual bucks to bid in auctions for real-world items such as iPods and Nintendo Wiis.
The virtual economy is central to the site's business model. Through what DeCuir calls an "invest-and-reward program," advertisers pay to erect virtual storefronts selling cybergoods. They offer users SavvyDollars to participate and then monitor their behavior.
Indeed, to DeCuir's way of thinking, the most valuable thing BlockSavvy offers advertisers -- along with the ability to interact with some hard-to-reach demographics -- is reams of qualitative data about the whims of its users.
It's far too early to know how well any of this will work. BlockSavvy went live in November and has just 10,000 invitation-only members, though the company has lined up some impressive advertisers, including AT&T (Charts, Fortune 500) and Toyota (Charts).
What's beyond doubt is that marketers are craving more immersive and interactive ways to communicate with young consumers online. Around the world an emerging array of new social networks, from Cyworld in South Korea to Webkinz in Canada, hint at a future in which MySpace may soon look rather antiquated. And let's not forget Second Life, the virtual world with which BlockSavvy also shares certain attributes.
By now you might be thinking, OK, but what does Dash bring to this party? Certainly not a deep understanding of, or even interest in, the online world.
"Not at all," he answers when I ask whether he's spent time on MySpace. "I'm a grown-ass man. I'm not a Web kind of guy. I'm not a TV guy, or a videogame guy. I'm not an anything guy where I have to sit still for very long."
What Dash does bring to the party is his money (though he and Burke have put less than $1 million into BlockSavvy so far), his network of connections in the worlds of music and fashion, and, most important, his imprimatur.
"In the urban demographic, people know that if it's a Damon Dash product, there's a certain quality," he says. "But I'm not a celebrity. I don't believe that having my name on something is going to make it sell. I believe that having my name on something is going to make me sell it."
It would be easy to dismiss Dash as some kind of a digital dilettante. But he strikes me as a kind of venture capitalist -- one who dispenses with the mumbo jumbo that tech VCs ritually spit out to make themselves sound noble. In Dash, you have a guy whose main gifts are a nose for talent and an eye for a market opportunity. He's got an appetite for risk and a thirst for the big score.
"The bigger the stakes, the bigger the reward," he says. "If you make $10, it's easy to put that s--t back on the street. But a real hustler makes $20 million and puts $18 million back on the street. And that's me. I just always feel like if I don't, I'm gonna miss out on making $100 million."
The VCs on Sand Hill Road might not put it quite so starkly, but their sentiments are identical. And something similar can be said about the underlying motivation that keeps all of them in the game. "Once I flip this for a bunch of money," Dash says, "I'll be validated in technology. People will have to notice me."
So, given a choice, who would Dash rather be: Bill Gates or Steve Jobs? "Which one got more money?" Dash shoots back. Gates has more money, but Jobs is cooler. "Yeah, but if I was Bill Gates, Bill Gates would be cooler," Dash says. "Definitely."

The Food and Drug Administration has published the newest sections of its plan to protect the nation's food, water and drug supply in case of a terrorist attack. Interested parties had 60 days from May 9 to comment on the proposed rules (included in the Federal Register), which deal with record-keeping and the detention of food products.
Signed into law June 12, 2002, the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 includes national preparedness plans for bioterrorism, mechanisms to protect the nation's food and drug supply, and plans to secure drinking water.
The two newly proposed rules are the last of four proposed regulations that the Bioterrorism Act calls upon FDA to develop regarding food safety.
The rules (sections 303 and 306 of the act) mandate that most food firms establish and maintain certain records. It also authorizes the FDA to detain any food the agency believes could present a "a threat of serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals."
The detention of any food must be approved by an official at the district director level or higher, and may not exceed 30 days. In addition, food products may be put on temporary hold at ports of entry for periods of less than 24 hours.
An appeals process will be made available in cases where the FDA has detained food products, with expedited hearings allowed for perishable foods such as fresh produce, fresh fish and fresh seafood products.
Any imported foods that may pose a risk to public may be placed under administrative detention, the act states.
It also authorizes the secretary of agriculture to have access to the previous two years of company records when there is a reasonable belief that an article of food is adulterated and presents a threat of serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals.
"It applies to all records relating to the manufacture, processing, packing, distribution, receipt, holding, or importation of the food," the FDA rule says. "It excludes farms and restaurants. It also excludes information such as recipes, financial data, personnel data, research data, and sales data, other than shipment data regarding sales."
Within 18 months of the completion of the FDA plan to protect the nation's food, water and drug supply in case of a terrorist attack, the secretary of agriculture is directed to develop a set of regulations for the establishment and maintenance of records needed to determine the immediate previous sources and the immediate subsequent recipients of food, which will vary according to business size.
The proposed rule makes it illegal for a food manufacturer or importer to refuse to permit access to or copying of any required record, or fail to establish or maintain any required record.
For more information on either of the two proposed regulations, visit the FDA Bioterrorism Act Web page at http://www.fda.gov/oc/bioterrorism/bioact.html.

Mid-sized banks that mostly let Wall Street and small firms speak for the industry during the debate over the Dodd-Frank Act have decided its time to carve out their own agenda in Washington.
Companies including U.S. Bancorp., SunTrust Banks Inc., PNC Financial Services Group Inc. and Regions Financial Corp. are opening their own lobbying shops and staffing them with seasoned Washington hands. Regulators and lawmakers have begun to pay attention as the banks argue for changes in how theyre affected by Dodd-Frank rules including the so-called Volcker ban on proprietary trading and procedures for unwinding failed banks.
Executives and lobbyists for regional banks say they should be treated differently by agencies implementing the new regulations, because they focus on traditional deposits and lending rather than the higher-risk activities of firms such as JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
We are not Wall Street banks but we face the same regulatory regime as a Wall Street bank, said Mark Oesterle, a lobbyist for SunTrust who formerly served as an aide to Senator Richard Shelby of Alabama, the top Republican on the Senate Banking Committee.
Regional banks tend to have more than $50 billion in assets, mostly in commercial and retail loans rather than complex investment banking products. Their size is well short of a Wells Fargo & Co., which is 20 times larger with assets of more than $1 trillion. Most have a distinct geographical footprint, like Regions in the South. There are about a dozen such firms in the U.S. who have become active in Washington.
Lobby Expenses
Atlanta-based SunTrust spent less than $5,000 on lobbying in 2011 and 2010, according to federal records. So far in 2012, the bank has reported spending $75,000.
Other banks are opening their checkbooks even wider. PNC, based in Pittsburgh, reported spending $570,000 in 2010, $1.53 million in 2011 and $750,000 so far this year, records show. Regions, of Birmingham, Alabama, spent $540,000 in 2010, $1 million last year and $890,000 so far in 2012.
Cincinnati, Ohio-based Fifth Third Bancorp., which spent $145,000 in 2010 and $680,000 so far this year, hired Eric Rizzo, a former congressional aide and insurance industry lobbyist, to open a Washington office in June 2011.
We needed to beef up, to have that day-to-day presence in Washington, Tom Ruebel, the banks Columbus, Ohio-based director of government affairs. Its not just Dodd-Frank implementation but a long-term investment for us.
Vast Difference
Ruebel said in an interview that the bank is looking to 2013, when a new Congress might revisit parts of Dodd-Frank. If there are any decisions that different pieces of Dodd-Frank need a look, we want to be there, he said.
Jaret Seiberg, a senior policy analyst with Washington Research Group, a unit of Guggenheim Securities, said the banks are in a separate class because they mobilize savings for productive use by turning retail deposits into commercial loans.
Theres a vast difference between a $100 billion regional bank and JPMorgan, Seiberg said. Congress views the institutions differently. The regulators view them differently. So it makes all the sense in the world that they would want to be represented differently. They should have done it five years ago.
While regional banks hired outside lobbyists in Washington before Dodd-Frank, none had their own offices with full-time representatives, except for Capital One Financial Corp., which is based in nearby McLean, Virginia.
Birmingham Commute
Regions, for example, sometimes flew Chris Scribner, an executive at its Birmingham headquarters, to Washington to tend to federal policy. Now Scribner works in the nations capital under Brian Smith, a former lobbyist for government-backed mortgage company Fannie Mae.
Minneapolis-based U.S. Bancorp lured Kevin MacMillan, a former Treasury Department legislative affairs official, from Bank of America Corp. BB&T Corp. of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, tapped John Hardage, previously a congressional liaison at the Office of Comptroller of the Currency. PNC hired Vince Randazzo, who worked for the House Financial Services Committee.
There was this view on the Hill that you were either a small community bank or a mega-bank, Smith, of Regions, said in an interview. We felt like the middle child.
Representative Barney Frank, the Massachusetts Democrat who was then head of the House Financial Services Committee, said that was basically true during the debate on the law. I dont remember hearing from them at all, Frank said in an interview. And it would have mattered.
Dodd-Frank Threshold
Despite the new lobbying firepower, the regional banks have limited room for change when it comes to Dodd-Frank rules. The law specifies that institutions with more than $50 billion in assets are subject to the most stringent requirements, a threshold exceeded by most of the firms.
What the regional firms can do is ask regulators to account for differences among banks when they write the details. For example, agencies are now completing the rule that requires companies designated as systemically important to draw up living wills, blueprints for how they could be dismantled in an orderly way if they neared insolvency.
Lawmakers included the rule in Dodd-Frank to avoid repeating the dilemma of the 2008 credit crisis: to pay for a bailout for a failing firm, like the government did for American International Group Inc., or let it collapse, as regulators decided in the case of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.
Great Example
In a letter to the Federal Reserve, 10 regional banks banded together to ask that the living-will rule be tailored to account for firms with simple structures. What made the crisis difficult was not so much the size of a troubled company like Lehman but that it was a large, interconnected investment banking firm with substantial nonbank and foreign operations, they wrote on June 10, 2011.
Living wills is a great example of a rule that never should have applied to these guys, said Karen Shaw Petrou, managing partner of Washington-based Federal Financial Analytics Inc. That doesnt mean it shouldnt have an appropriate recovery plan, but it isnt the same as JPMorgan Chase and Blackrock Inc.
The regional banks push to distinguish themselves in Washington comes as their profits outperform their larger rivals. They are making gains as reduced trading activity and troubled investments made before the credit crisis have damped earnings and curbed compensation at the bigger firms.
Larger investment banks are cutting jobs as revenue growth ebbs. That has given regional banks a change to pick up market share.
Financial Health
Very large banks lag their regional counterparts in return on equity, a measure of profitability, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. For example, Goldman Sachs returned 5.2 percent in the second quarter of 2012, while Bank of America had 4.7 percent. Buffalo, New York-based M&T Bank Corp. returned 8.2 percent in that period while Fifth Third hit 11.5 percent.
The financial health of U.S. Bancorp -- it returned 16.5 percent in the second quarter -- has enlarged the clout of its chief executive officer, Richard K. Davis. He served in 2010 as chairman of the Financial Services Roundtable, a banking trade group, and has met more than once with President Barack Obama to discuss economic policy.
Regional banks are pretty boring and pretty consistent in their business, Davis said in December.
That theme is echoed in the joint comment letters that the regional banks sent to regulators on Volcker and the living-will proposal, as well as on swap-trading rules and pending requirements for capital buffers under the international Basel agreement.
Fed Meeting
CEOs of eight banks including U.S. Bancorp, Fifth Third, PNC, Northern Trust Corp. and M&T Bank met with Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner and Deputy Secretary Neal Wolin in May. And 12 regional bank executives met in July with Federal Reserve officials, including Fed Governor Daniel Tarullo, in part to discuss the Volcker rule.
The regional banks said the Volcker proposal would require them to set up expensive compliance programs even though they dont engage in the risky trading the rule prohibits.
The proposal as written will cause each of our organizations to comply with many, if not all, of the same requirements applicable to the largest financial firms with substantial trading volume and covered fund investments, PNC, U.S. Bancorp, Capital One, SunTrust, Fifth Third, BB&T, Regions and Cleveland-based KeyCorp wrote in a Feb. 3 letter to regulators.
Not Hostile
The position drew support from six members of the Senate Banking Committee, including Senators Mark Warner, a Democrat of Virginia, and Mike Crapo, a Republican of Idaho, who wrote to regulators on Feb. 16 that compliance costs could cause some banks to exit certain types of activities that provide liquidity to their customers and are permitted by the Volcker Rule.
Frank said the regulators have the flexibility to reduce compliance costs on regional banks. They are assuming the regulators are stupid or hostile, and I dont think they are hostile, Frank said.
The Feds Tarullo has recognized the role of regional banks as he warns of the systemic risks posed by the largest Wall Street firms. For example, he said on June 6 that there would be a sliding scale for the capital surcharges to ease the burden on banks with over $50 billion in assets that arent among the largest players like Bank of America or JPMorgan.
Tarullo also suggested that if it turned out, as Wall Street banks have claimed, that Basel rules crimp their ability to lend money, then smaller institutions could fill the void.
Trade Groups
To the degree that systemically important institutions find the additional capital requirement makes some lending unprofitable, that lending could be assumed by smaller banks that do not pose similar systemic risk and thus have lower capital requirements, Tarullo said in a June 2011 speech.
While the regional bank lobbyists have been holding monthly conference calls and meeting in person every three months, they havent yet taken the step of forming their own trade group and havent opposed the agenda of the big banks. They remain members of the American Bankers Association, which counts all the large institutions among its ranks.
The regional banks arent part of the Independent Community Bankers of America, which on its website claims nearly 5,000 members with assets between $3 million and $17 billion.
Wayne Abernathy, executive vice president of the ABA, said his association has tried to show the regional banks that it can continue to represent their interests in Washington.
It keeps us on our toes, to make sure as a trade association that we meet the needs of all our members, Abernathy said.

Selecting a new treasury secretary is tough in normal times, and these are anything but.
Experts say the new secretary must bring sufficient clout to Capitol Hill to push through budget and tax deals and enough stature to calm financial markets, should they begin to melt down again.
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner won't be staying on for President Barack Obama's second term. A former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Geithner took over when the global economy was in freefall and financial markets were tumbling.
The economy has since stabilized, albeit returning to an anemic pace of growth and subpar job creation. Recession isn't necessarily in the rearview mirror, however, as the so-called "fiscal cliff' approaches. Failure to reach a deal on taxes and budget cuts could leave the economy hurling backward.
Meanwhile, Europe's debt crisis appears far from over and can still contaminate global markets. And a new leadership team is about to take power in China.
It's against that backdrop that the president will select a replacement. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Friday that Geithner plans to stay through the inauguration in January and will be a "key participant" in negotiations on the fiscal cliff – a series of tax measures that have expired, or are set to expire at year's end, along with automatic, deep budget cuts that will take effect unless lawmakers agree to an alternative plan.
Almost unanimously, experts said that Geithner's replacement needs to be someone with muscle in Washington and luster to please Wall Street and global financiers. Those aren't always qualities easily found in a single person.
The name most discussed as Obama's pick is Jack Lew, currently his chief of staff and a longtime Washington insider, having also served as the administration's budget director. Although disliked by some key congressional Republicans, Lew knows policy issues inside and out and has the president's ear.
The two other most frequently mentioned names have more heft outside the nation's capital, but for that reason they may have limited chances.
Erskine Bowles was Bill Clinton's chief of staff and the co-author of an exhaustive report last year by a presidential commission that offered a way forward on the nation's twin crises of debts and deficits. Financial markets like Bowles, and he has a reputation for being both a numbers wonk and someone who can reach across the aisle.
The other top choice said to be under consideration is Larry Fink, founder of BlackRock, the world's largest money manager, with more than $1 trillion in U.S. pension funds under its management. He is versed on financial regulation and global finance, is a heavyweight in the financial sector and, perhaps more importantly, doesn't have the stigma of being a Wall Street banker.
"He's a very well-respected person in the financial community and neither he nor Bowles would have any trouble getting through confirmation, or would Lew," said Laurence Meyer, a former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve and senior managing director for the financial forecaster Macroeconomic Advisers. "This is a good group of candidates – Bowles and Lew with a lot of experience, and Fink with a lot of experience outside government, but a commanding person who is without a doubt up to the job."
The problem with Bowles is that his plan – authored with former Wyoming Republican Sen. Alan Simpson and shorthanded as Bowles-Simpson – starts at a place where many Democrats don't want to end up. The plan proposes funding changes to Social Security, Medicare and perhaps ending popular tax breaks like the mortgage interest deduction.
Obama's treasury pick comes at a pivotal time. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has called for tax reform and a long-term budget deal in 2013, harkening back to the 1986 deal struck between President Ronald Reagan and House Speaker Thomas "Tip" O'Neill. Now, like then, there were pressures on debt, deficits and a needed revamp of taxation.
"It's a fascinating array of interrelated issues. The key appointments are so crucial," said Murray Weidenbaum, commonly called the architect of Reaganomics and head of Reagan's Council of Economic Advisers in 1981-82.
He said the first order of business for Obama is to pick a strong-willed secretary who knows how to work Capitol Hill.
"If he's a boy, not a man, he's not going to be effective on the Hill," said Weidenbaum, now a professor at Washington University in St. Louis.
The Obama administration has put a premium on loyalty and team play, which makes the independent-minded Bowles a less likely choice, despite knowing the ways of Washington, he said.
Awaiting the next treasury secretary are thorny international issues such as pressure to tighten economic sanctions on Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions, and a whole new leadership team expected in China soon.
"I think China will continue to be a focus, but it will shift from currency (issues) to perhaps intellectual property rights," said Meyer, suggesting that patent and trademark enforcement will garner more attention than the annual congressional attack on China's alleged currency rate manipulation. "It's just silly political posturing."
Less visible but also important is who Obama taps to be the next commerce secretary. The post remains vacant since the sudden June departure of John Bryson, and it's a position of importance, given the likely renewed focus on export promotion and trade agreements.
"Trade policy has been run out of the White House for the last four years," said William Reinsch, a former Commerce Department undersecretary and president of the National Foreign Trade Council, the trade lobby for big global companies. "I don't suspect that will change significantly. They've had a hard time finding a commerce secretary, or keeping a commerce secretary – both actually. I don't quite understand it because other Democratic administrations haven't had a problem coming up with a competent businessman or other people."
Lesley Clark in Washington contributed.

Run-off election settles council seats
It took another election, but finally all of the municipal positions in Saline County have been decided.
In Tuesday's runoff election, Benton Alderman Brad Moore won a fifth term on the Benton City Council by defeating David Sparks in the race for the Ward 4, Position 1 seat on the 10-member panel.
Unofficial tallies from County Clerk Linda Montalvo's office gave Moore 201 votes to 117 for Sparks. Those numbers represented 63.21 percent for Moore and 36.79 percent for Sparks.
In the clerk's office Tuesday night after the votes had been tabulated, Moore expressed appreciation to those who supported him.
"There were a lot of people involved in the campaign, and we both (Sparks and Moore) ran a clean, positive campaign.
"Win or lose, I knew we would have a lot to be proud of," Moore said. "It's hard to beat hard work."
Moore, however, was disappointed in the voter turnout. Of the 3,800 registered voters in Ward 4, only 3 percent voted "to make the decision for the majority."
Sparks, who has served on the council for the past eight years, said today that he believes he was "a good public servant."
"We got a lot of good things done and I'm excited about where the council is going," he said. "It's not negative, but all positive. There's some new blood on the council along with the older ones, so I think the city will grow.
"I wish the city the best," he added. "I think we'll be going forward."
Sparks currently holds the Ward 4, Position 2 seat on the council, but chose to run for Position 1.
James Herzfeld was the only person who sought Position 2.
In the other municipal races determined in Tuesday's runoff election, Alderman James Frala retained his position on the Shannon Hills Council.
Frala defeated challenger Brenda McCann in the race for the Ward 1, Position 1, seat by a vote spread of 82 to 42. That total gave Frala 66.13 percent of the total votes cast.
In Alexander, two aldermanic posts and the recorder position were decided Tuesday.
Stephanie Beck defeated Brad Scott for the Ward 2, Position 1 seat by a vote spread of 73 to 64, representing 53.28 percent of the total votes for Beck; and Lonny Chapman defeated Robin D. Altman in the race for the Ward 4, Position 2 seat.
Chapman drew 101 votes, or 72.66 percent, and Altman received 38 votes, or 27.34 percent.
Also decided Tuesday was the Alexander recorder position. Shelley Maynard won the post by defeating Michelle T. Doss-Kid by a vote spread of 73 to 65. Maynard drew 52.90 percent of the total votes cast.

Having just crossed the 30 million mark some three days ago, Samsung's Galaxy S III is making headlines again today as it was just named the best selling smartphone across the globe in Q3 2013, beating out the iPhone by nearly two million units.
If you had any doubts about Samsung's commanding position in not only Android, but the market in general, let them end here. According to Strategy Analytics, Samsung managed to sell 18 million Galaxy S IIIs this past quarter, while the iPhone 4S sold 16.2 million.
Android phones managing to outsell iOS phones is nothing new. Android accounted for 75% of smartphone sales overall in Q3 2012. But any single handset still has trouble tackling the iPhone in a head-to-head numbers match. The Samsung Galaxy S III managed to take the spot of best selling phone in the US early last September. Doing the same thing on a global scale is impressive to say the least.
Unfortunately, Samsung's victory is still bittersweet. Obtaining the position of best-selling phone in the world is no easy task, but Samsung was just able to edge out the iPhone 4S. A phone that released in October of 2011. These latest numbers don't include the iPhone 5. So there's a good chance Samsung's victory will be short lived.
Still, if today's news makes on thing clear, it's that Samsung and Android are forces to be reckoned with. And that won't be changing anytime soon.

in the dry stagnant empty recess of winter.
And this with two hands so crippled
that one was required to rest on the other for support –
overlapping as if in prayer.
And this, her offering,
with a smile that said,
Here is a part of my lonely place.

Message from the Health Sciences Team

Invite from the Health Sciences Team
Scientists communicate in many ways, some which are far more
entertaining then others.
Take for example publishing- a way to disseminate information in a
peer-reviewed journal. A clearinghouse for these publications
is run by the government and is called pubmed. While priceless,
publications are not always the most effective or dare I say fun
way to get information out to the world. Enter science meetings-- a
few days once a year where scientists within a discipline descend
on a locale and share their recent findings via presentations
(talks) or by posters.
Here I am about a 2 hours ago, sharing the Museum's
education and scientific objectives with my taste and smell
colleagues. And below you'll find some of my favorite comments of
the night as they pertain to DMNS and our new human genetics study
on taste.
"Looks like you've got your plate full." (no pun intended?)
"Is this the next step in evolution for museums, perhaps and
hopefully one that all museums will make?"
"In our research we only use male mice, females are complicated.
We see stronger and more robust signals in data from males." This
was in the context of our VERY preliminary data (which you can see
below) which shows a slight shift to a lower percentage of body fat
in men who are tasters vs men who are non-tasters,but no difference
thus far in taster and non-taster females.But please dear and loyal
audience, do not read too deeply into this, as the study has many
more miles to go.
So in additon to ways in which to improve our research... what
else did I learn today?
First, my brain uses loads of glucose to comprehend in-depth
science from 8am to 11pm. Second, the talks and the posters are
chock full of pertinent information. One of my favorite posters, in
fact, was about the standardization of the "Food Liking" survey
that links chemosensation (i.e. taste and flavor perception) with
diet and health (Katryna Minski from Val Duffy's group). Also Hetvi
Desai, from Greg Smutzer's lab, presented work demonstrating a new
way to make edible taster strips- so cool- they dissolve in your
But I digress, what I really want to emphasize is the way in which
science communication just happens when you least expect it, over
lunch, a walk to the next session, or even in the elevator. I may
not have solved the world's problems here today, but I sure did
find some new and interesting ways to conduct our research.
Aw heck, how is it midnight again? 7 am will likely come too
Signing off,
- Nicole

Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two
What do you need help on?Cancel X
Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two returns Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit to Wasteland, an alternate world filled with 80 years of forgotten Disney characters and theme park attractions. But for the first time, Mickey and Oswald will join forces as true partners - Mickey with his magical paint brush that wields paint and thinner, and Oswald with his powerful remote control that allows him to command electricity. This new co-op play combined with enhanced in-game physics will further enhance the idea that "PlayStyle Matters" - a unique approach to gameplay pioneered by Warren Spector where players dynamically tackle different challenges in order to explore all possibilities and storylines, but with consequences for their chosen actions.
If you're stuck in Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, ask your fellow GameFAQs members for help.

Arctic Char with Tomato-Corn Relish
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I was inspired to make this after seeing something similar on the menu at AOC, a great wine bar and small plates restaurant in L.A. I actually didn't order it there, but I liked the idea of the dish, and I love to create a quick fish and fresh veggie dish during the summer. The best part of this whole thing is the tomato-corn relish, which is just lightly cooked and full of sweetness. It would also be great served on many different proteins or spooned on top of hot pasta. - Kitchen Sink Diaries —Kitchen Sink Diaries
Food52 Review: My requirements for an ideal summer meal: One that can be put on the table quickly, using ingredients that I just plucked from the garden or picked up from a local farm stand, and of course it must be delicious. This dish satisfies all the requirements and tastes like 'summer on a plate.' Bravo and thanks for such a great go-to recipe for the summer months when corn and tomatoes are at their peak. - sticksnscones —sticksnscones

HILLSDALE ��Having a planned caesarean section on Thursday, Erin Strait and Bennett Adams didn�t think they would have the first baby of the year at the Hillsdale Community Health Center. To their surprise though, Brinlee Welsh Adams, who arrived��at 12:31 p.m. Thursday, was�HCHC's first baby of the new year.
Brinlee weighed 6 pounds, 15.8 ounces and was 19 inches long. �I couldn�t believe we were first,� said Adams, a first-time father. Judy Gabriele,�development director�at the hospital, said the latest new year's baby the hospital has ever had was born Jan. 8. Brinlee is Erin�s third child. She also has a 12-year-old daughter Whitney and 5-year-old daughter Tavia.
The�family lives in Litchfield. Bennett is a graduate of Homer High School and Strait a graduate of Jonesville High School. Bennett said he was excited to have another daughter at home. He said the feeling of being a first-time father was great and indescribable. After months of indecision on a name, it was oldest sister Whitney who made the final decision, coming up with Brinlee. �It was something we could all agree on,� Bennett said. For having the first baby of the year born at the hospital the couple received a large gift basket from local businesses filled with a variety of items. �It was awesome,� Bennett said. The couple also received a large bouquet of flowers from Smith�s Flowers.
