Posted June, 13 2017NACHA Hosts Capitol Hill Day
On June 8, 2017, NACHA hosted its annual Capitol Hill Day in Washington D.C., facilitating a day-long series of meetings between members of NACHA's Government Relations Advisory Group (GRAG) and elected officials as well as congressional staff members from the Senate Banking Committee and House Financial Services Committee, representing two Payments Caucuses – the Senate Payments FinTech Innovation Caucus and the Congressional FinTech Payment Technology Caucus. GRAG Members continued their outreach and education efforts regarding the ACH Network with particular emphasis on the value of private sector rulemaking and NACHA's role in governing the Network. Other discussion topics included an update on Same Day ACH, plans to leverage the ACH to move payments faster/easier for end users, and CHOICE and CLEARR legislation. GRAG members also reminded staffers of the resources that NACHA and our Membership can provide for payments-related training and education. Collectively, the group participated in a total of nine meetings in addition to a breakfast meeting at The Capitol Hill Club.
Treasury Report Highlights Need for Regulatory Relief
On June 12, 2017, The U.S. Department of the Treasury issued its first in a series of reports to President Trump examining the United States' financial regulatory system and detailing executive actions and regulatory changes that can be immediately undertaken to provide regulatory relief for U.S. financial institutions.
Treasury issued the report with a press release that stated, "Properly structuring regulation of the U.S. financial system is critical to achieve the administration's goal of sustained economic growth and to create opportunities for all Americans to benefit from a stronger economy," said U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin. "We are focused on encouraging a market environment where consumers have more choices, access to capital and safe loan products – while ensuring taxpayer-funded bailouts are truly a thing of the past."
As background, over the past four months, Secretary Mnuchin and other Treasury officials met with hundreds of stakeholders across the financial ecosystem, including NACHA; community, independent, regional and large banks; regulators; FSOC members; consumer advocates; academics; analysts and investors. These listening sessions provided a picture of redundancy, fragmentation, and challenges in the regulatory framework.
The report issued today detailed the following findings:
- Community financial institutions – banks and credit unions – are critically important to serve many Americans
- Capital, liquidity and leverage rules can be simplified to increase the flow of credit
- We must ensure our banks are globally competitive
- Improving market liquidity is critical for the U.S. economy
- The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau must be reformed (suggested a legal change allowing the president to fire the bureau's sole director, or said the agency could be restructured into a multiperson commission)
- Regulations need to be better tailored, more efficient, and effective
- Congress should review the organization and mandates of the independent banking regulators to improve accountability
The next step will be that Treasury and the Administration will begin working with Congress, independent regulators, the financial industry, and trade groups to implement the recommendations advocated in the report through changes to statutes, regulations and supervisory guidance.
On a side note but related to the report: The Senate Banking Committee will hold a hearing with financial regulators on June 22, 2017 to discuss economic growth.
Financial CHOICE Act Clears House
On June 8, 2017, the House passed the Financial CHOICE Act by a nearly party-line vote of 233 to 186 with only one GOP member voting against the bill (Walter Jones of North Carolina). Major provisions of the bill included CFPB reorganization, regulatory relief for community institutions and repeal of the Volcker rule. The bill now heads to the Senate where it will likely be broken up into smaller pieces and passed as part of a U.S. competitiveness initiative. Vote counts can be seen here.

Increasingly more nowadays companies are realizing how important it can be to know and rehearse search engine marketing basics. However, it might be difficult to find a consensus on just the thing the basic principles really are. Continue reading to find out some simple tips that will help you receive started optimizing your organization website.
To ensure every page of your site is indexed by search engines like yahoo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5zu_S063dA&feature=share, usually do not use Flash inside the site's design. Flash does not allow individual pages to become related to, which means search engines like yahoo can't crawl them. Another link for each and every page enables your content to be indexed and found through search engines like google.
Be sure to didn't forget to depart robots.txt set. On many occasions, each time a site is in development, web site designers will use a robots.txt file to stop search engines like google from indexing the web page at all. A number of these same web developers forget to remove the robots.txt file as soon as the site goes live. When you know what date your website is going live, one tip is actually a develop a cron job that deletes the robots.txt file automatically about the designated date.
Search engine optimisation is really a useful tool yet do not belong to the belief your blogs or articles should contain a huge amount of keywords. People to your web site usually do not want your articles or blogs to see like a listing of words. Your articles should be creative and you should still write to your followers, customers and visitors not just to acquire more people to check out your content by having your site turn up first in a search engine result.
Be smart with where you place the keywords within your site. Makes certain to place them in elements of your sites for example titles, URLs, content, image names, etc. Think about what terms your website visitors would use to discover your site content and what they'd anticipate seeing when they arrived.

Don't use generic words inside your key words list, like "computers" and "books". This will generate too many results and will likely, not show your website at the top. Instead, using more specific phrases and words like "buy cheap computers online," may be less competitive and be more potent for your site.
As an alternative to spamming your website information everywhere you appear, it might be better to let your website available naturally by online search engine crawlers.

Link the articles you write on the best directories. The very best directories are the type usually searched, so these are the ones you wish to choose. Stay away from the poor ones, they are often overlooked to have too much duplicated and stolen content. Don't associate having a directory that will provide you with a negative reputation.

Latest post on group Journal Club by David Stirling:
The immune mechanisms responsible for control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and microbial countermeasures to evade this response are a subject of particular interest to our group. Our latest journal club reviewed this paper from Ulrich Schaible's group, looking at how the mode of cell death in infected neutrophils impacts the ability of macrophages to subsequently control Mtb phagocytosed from the debris.
Unlike attenuated strains such as BCG, Mtb is capable of inducing necrosis in infected neutrophils. The researchers explored the molecular mechanisms behind this effect and found it to be an ESX-1 and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent phenotype. In line with previous reports, mutant bacteria lacking RD1 did not induce substantial necrosis in infected neutrophils, with cells undergoing apoptosis instead. The ability to induce necrosis instead of apoptosis was hypothesised to be important for evasion of host immunity.
Electron microscopy revealed that bacteria from necrotic cells are loosely associated with cellular remnants, whereas those from apoptotic cells remain contained in vesicles. Immunofluorescence on macrophages which had just taken up neutrophil debris was used to investigate the fate of the bacteria upon entry into macrophages. Strikingly, endosomes containing RD1- or ESAT-6-deleted bacteria (from within apoptotic vesicles) rapidly associated with maturation markers such as LAMP1 and Rab7, whereas wild-type bacteria phagocytosed from necrotic cells did not associate with these markers and evaded degradation.
Interestingly, it was also found that inhibitors of ROS pathways could be used to block necrotic cell death in neutrophils and push the cells towards apoptosis. This allowed subsequent control of bacterial growth when the debris from these apoptotic cells was phagocytosed by macrophages.
Overall these findings highlight a fascinating new area for potential host-directed therapies in TB infection. It is possible that regulating the fate of 'first-responder' cells in Mtb infection, neutrophils, may in turn tune the ability of macrophages to control the infection downstream. How other components of the tissue immune response to Mtb fit into this model needs to be ascertained, but this paper certainly seems to have opened up a new avenue of investigation.

I was wondering how many of you have blogs that your family reads or you focus on things such as product reviews and giveaways. Those blogs don't really allow for real rants. The reason I am asking is simple. I know my daughter does and she can't rant on hers like she would like to at times. It stands to reason there are others like her. I even have separate blogs for family so they don't see what I really like to write. LOL!
Here's the question. Who wants to rant, bitch, or speak your mind without having to worry about your family, or some friends, hear what you have to say? I am offering to let you have the chance to guest bitch on my blog so you can vent your frustration in a trusted place. Let me know what you think. Comment on here or send me a message to let me know. I'm waiting. Don't make me wait too long.

Lalah Hathaway burst onto the soul and jazz scene in 1990 with an auspicious self-titled debut album. The disc displayed a young artist who clearly had the pipes, but was also a developing song stylist, able to interpret both modern R&B and jazz. Her last name gave a lot away. She is the daughter of legendary soul performer Donny Hathaway and his talented wife Eulauhlah. However, while her name may have brought initial attention to some people, it was immediately clear that she was a true - and distinctive - vocal talent. With a style somewhat reminiscent of Patti Austin, but with a deeper, smokier edge, Lalah climbed to the top of the R&B charts with her debut hit "Heaven Knows" and delivered a solid, varied album.
Unfortunately, it would be four years before she released her sophomore effort, A Moment, a slightly lesser album that showed her vocal skills continuing to mature but not always with material worthy of her talent. It came and went without as much notice as her debut. She went quiet again as a solo artist, though her warm, elegant voice graced a number of smooth jazz albums by artists such as Grover Washington, Wayman Tisdale and Gerald Albright.
Then in 1999, her finest recorded performance was released. Her album of duets with pianist extraordinaire Joe Sample, The Song Lives On, was a true masterpiece, providing new looks at old Sample material as well as a number of standards. Her vocal interpretations of "When Your World Turns Blue," "When Your Life Was Low" and her father's classic standard, "For All We Know" are chilling, and The Song Lives On became the best album of that year and an essential disc for lovers of torchy ballads. It also showed that, while Hathaway was certainly notable as a modern R&B stylist, her capabilities as a jazz singer had developed in an astonishing fashion over the decade of the 90s, to a point virtually unmatched among current artists.
Over the last few years Lalah has continued to provide vocal assistance on other artists' albums, most recently performing "Someday We'll All Be Free" with Take 6 on their Beautiful World disc. She returned in 2005 with Outrun the Sky, her first solo album in a decade.
In early 2007, Lalah signed with Stax Records. Her Stax debut, Self Portrait, perhaps her most personal record, is slated for a June 2008 release. She has spent much of 2008 touring the US with Rahsaan Patterson and Angie Stone (or Ledisi in some cities).

I slowly came back to myself. The light outside the window was a little brighter now, so it must be day again, but the snow still whirled down. I was stiff and sore and my mouth tasted like my boots probably did. My eyes were crusty and my nose was still stuffy from crying. A big wet spot under my face told me I had been drooling. Well, there was no one in here but the Skink and me, and he could just put up with the drooling and the snoring that the stuffy nose had undoubtedly caused.
I slowly pushed myself into a sitting position on the edge of the bed, unwrapping myself from a throw that the Skink must have put over me. I sat there, staring around in a daze, still too half asleep to cry anymore and too completely bummed to make myself move. Back where I began. Big surprise.
The Skink appeared beside me and immediately starting chattering. "Jane, Jane, look at this! Look!" He poked at the comforter on the bed.
I shrugged. "And? It's the comforter. It's been on here for a while."
"I don't think so. Really LOOK at it," he said, rubbing his hand over the surface and plucking at it with his gnarled little hands.
I leaned over and looked at it and then looked up at him again. "So?"
"There's no dog hair!" the Skink practically shouted at me.
"No dog hair?" I repeated stupidly. Even half asleep, I understood that this was not normal. There should have been dog hair from our two black Labrador retrievers literally imbedded in the fabric. Even when things were freshly washed, they always had black dog hairs woven into them somewhere. I took a good, close look at the comforter. Nope, no dog hairs.
"And I checked out the plastic storage drawers. There aren't any rubber stamps or paper or stamp pads in them," the Skink added.
I turned and reached for the computer on the desk. Pressing the power button, I waited for it to power up – but nothing happened. No lights, no humming, no nothing.
"What on earth…" I began. Then I looked at the doors. My face must have reflected what I saw, because the Skink looked up too and gasped.
Each door – the one to the outside and the one to the rest of the house – was barred with five swords.
"Ten swords. Jane, that's not good," the Skink started.
"It's not telling me anything I don't already know," I said, grimacing. Still, I went over to the door that led to the rest of the house and examined the swords across it. They were heavy and sharp and set securely into place. "It's just confirming what I said last night. It's all over. There's no point in going on – She Wolf is lost forever." I stood there staring at the floor while the Skink stared up at me.
A noise from across the room made us both look up. It came from where I had thrown my backpack the night before. The flap on my pack wiggled a bit and a small round tin box came rolling out and across the floor towards me.
"You!" I laughed bitterly. "Yeah, I guess you've been starving, too, haven't you? If I'm not writing, there's nothing for you to criticize and devour. Well, I guess this isn't all bad, then." I kicked at the box as it rolled to my feet and the lid popped off. The insectoid form of my inner critic climbed out and wiggled antennae at me mockingly.
"Oh, I don't know – he and I are friends," came a voice from behind me. I whirled around to see who was there, but only caught a glimpse of a black shadow zipping to the other side of me. "I make sure he gets a snack here and there – we share, don't we little buddy?" The creature on the floor flipped an antenna in reply.
The Skink and I turned around and around, trying to get a look at whatever was in the room with us but all we succeeded in was getting dizzy.
"Who's there?" I demanded. The shadow came to a stop and laughed. The smoky form coalesced into a vaguely human figure.
"I'm your fears," it said. "I'm all of the things that make you put up walls to hide behind, and I remind you to keep them in place so you don't get hurt." Its tone was mocking. "For instance…" and the form in front of me changed from a smoky humanoid to a viewing screen showing me things that ate at me, things that I feared, happening. I cringed.
"Jane, you can't give it power over you!" the Skink tugged on my pants leg, but I was too mesmerized to pay him any mind.
The Thing cycled through vision after vision, and I could feel the world fading around me as I became lost in the sorrows and pain it offered. Walls, I thought to myself desperately, walls. I began to erect the protective walls around myself as I always did when life became too stressful. I could hear, distantly, the thing laughing in triumph. I crumpled to the floor, arms around my knees and my eyes squeezed tightly shut. I could feel the tears seeping out and trickling down my face. Somewhere, far away, I could hear the Skink calling my name, but I was afraid to open myself enough to answer him.
Then I heard another voice, and someone hauled me roughly to my feet. My eyes came open in surprise, and to my shock and wonder I saw the She Wolf standing there. Her eyes were blazing and she held that wolf's head walking staff between us and the black Thing. She snarled wordlessly.
The Thing stopped what it was doing and snarled back. "You aren't welcome here," it said. "Jane's mine now. There's no room for you. Look!" At that all the walls in the room went blank. All of the furniture disappeared. The windows and doors become solid, too, so that all that was left was a solid expanse of white wherever I looked. The Skink was fading out before my eyes, and the She Wolf was already almost gone.
The Thing laughed again. "Walls. All the walls you could ever want, Jane. Walls that the She Wolf can't come through. You'll be nice and safe…" and it faded away, too. I stood alone in the room.
"NO!" I shouted again, but this time it wasn't a cry of hopelessness. It was a shout of defiance. "NO!" I shouted again, louder. This time I saw a crack in the walls, and the Skink reappeared beside me. He joined me in shouting and then, suddenly, there was an enormous BOOM! And the walls flew apart. I could see giant fragments flying off and disappearing into nowhere. And for a fleeting moment, I thought I saw something else, buried behind the walls, before everything disappeared.
Then the Skink and I were standing in the snow, my backpack at my feet and the flakes soft and cold on my face. The house and fence were gone, but I could see the willows in the distance through the snow. He looked up and me and asked, "Did you see that?"
I nodded. "The She Wolf's room. It was behind the walls – I could see prints on the walls, and hand-spun wool hanging in loops. I could see that quilt that I've always meant to make on the bed, and all kinds of things that I've dreamed about doing over the years."
The Skink nodded and added, "And I saw stacks of paper with printing on them. The computer was open to a word processor."
"So she's still there, behind the walls." I paused. "I hope that wasn't her last stand." I added fervently.
Before I could droop disconsolately, the Skink shook his head and said, "No, no. Look over here," and he scampered across the snow to a strange set of tracks. I followed him and looked. The prints of a pair of boot and the circular mark of a walking staff led off into the snow. The Skink looked up at me slyly and said, "I don't think she'd have left a trail if she didn't want you to follow it."
I thought for a moment and then nodded. "I think you're right, Skink." Then I picked up my backpack and set off towards the willow thicket.

Crowe? A beau?
Russell Crowe's new movie A Beautiful Mind may not be the only thing that's beautiful in his life. Jennifer Connelly (Requiem for a Dream, Pollock), who plays Crowe's wife in the film, might not have been acting, after all.
According to Sky News, the couple was reportedly being a little extra friendly with one another at the Critics' Choice Awards ceremony Wednesday. Sitting alone together in a corner, they shared laughs, cheek kisses and the occasional cigarette.
Crowe described the exotic-looking Connelly as "sublime" when he was named best actor for his role in A Beautiful Mind.
Crowe, 37, recently admitted an aching paternal urge, but it's still unknown whether or not Connelly will be qualify as mommy material for Russell, Jr. She does have some prior experience, though. The 31-year-old New Zealand native has a 3-year-old son, Kai.
In other Crowe news, the actor is in negotiations to star in upcoming Fox film Master and Commander, an adaptation of the Patrick O'Brian book series about a Royal Navy captain who's given his first go at sailing his ship off to battle. Word is, Crowe has been unavailable to begin production.

Now we're into the swing of things! After a couple of inches of snow Sunday morning we're in for another round of accumulating snow tonight and into Tuesday morning. Our snow tonight will be from a clipper system that will sweep through the Great Lakes.
Snow will begin to move in late this evening around 8 or 9 PM with light to moderate snowfall overnight accumulating around 2 inches by Daybreak Tuesday.
With a dry air mass in place this is very likely going to be a light and fluffy snow that falls tonight. Winds will pick up as the system moves in so that means blowing snow can be expected on Tuesday thanks to the nature of the expected snow. Here is a breakdown of what we can expect out on the roads.
I think it's a pretty good bet that we'll see around 2 inches of fresh snow by daybreak Tuesday with another inch possible during the day. By Tuesday evening I think most of us will end up with around 2 to 3 inches of snow.
I am not a school administrator, but I would bet that you can expect at least a 2 hour delay on Tuesday along with a good possibility of an outright closure for the day because of blowing snow and eventual wind chills below zero into the afternoon. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rank this system at about a 6 mainly for the bad timing around the Tuesday morning commute. Have that shovel ready Tuesday!
REMEMBER, you can keep up with all the latest on our weather app!

Adobe FrameMaker is famous for its powerful document-publishing features and steep learning curve. Through many versions and improved features, FrameMaker has become an indispensable tool to users creating various types of documentation.
You've undoubtedly felt overwhelmed with FrameMaker at least once. That's why I wrote this book—to make FrameMaker more accessible to you without becoming overwhelmed.
More than 10 years ago, before tables were even included in the menu options, I found FrameMaker. It took about a minute for me to realize how FrameMaker could simplify the process of producing documentation. FrameMaker was a real lifesaver for me while I worked on the production side of large-scale multi-language documentation projects. Although FrameMaker's steep learning curve was painful at times, it was more painful to work in software programs that did not come close to containing the automated features that FrameMaker offered.
Combining my FrameMaker expertise with my computer-teaching skills allowed me to educate others on FrameMaker usage. The real rewards came in teaching users how to get the most out of this powerful software in their everyday documentation tasks. Writing my own user guides and training documents in FrameMaker naturally followed. It's been a pleasure to experience FrameMaker from many different angles.
FrameMaker remains my favorite publishing software program. I composed this book in FrameMaker 6. Unlike other books about FrameMaker, the book you hold in your hands is not a reference book. Because documentation tasks in FrameMaker require you to understand and combine multiple features, I was inspired me to create this task-oriented book. I present you with the principles, techniques, and tips to achieve tasks, as well as the corresponding pitfalls and challenges.
This book is ideal for intermediate to advanced FrameMaker users. You should already be familiar with the basic fundamental operations and have completed, either through experience or training, the introductory levels of FrameMaker topics and commands. The exercises and examples are focused on the task at hand. For example, if we are working on autonumbers, we only work with the Numbering property of the Paragraph Designer. We don't need to waste time with how to create that particular paragraph tag or go into the basic or default font properties, because those are basic FrameMaker skills that you are already familiar with and unimportant to our task. It is my goal to present very focused lessons throughout the book.
This book is not geared towards novice FrameMaker users.
This book is of particular interest to experienced FrameMaker users who
Work in FrameMaker on a daily basis
Create technical documentation (such as software manuals, user guides, and so on)
Create documentation for print, PDF, or web sites
Convert files from Microsoft Word to FrameMaker consistently throughout the documentation process.
This book shows you how to optimize the advantages of FrameMaker to create documentation.
Each chapter contains comprehensive coverage of FrameMaker topics that surpass the basic fundamentals of the program. Inside each chapter, you find an overview and background information on topics, followed by examples to follow. You also find helpful sidebars that discuss topics such as basic commands, tips, and other noteworthy information.
The overall organization is as follows:
Chapter 1, "Planning and Organizing Strategies," includes a discussion on what you need to know before you embark on a FrameMaker project.
Chapter 2, "Automatic Text, Tabs, Special Characters, and Graphics," teaches you how to work with features to automate a variety of tasks, including combinations of text, tabs, special characters, and graphics.
Chapter 3, "Automatic Numbering," gets you acquainted with the concepts and techniques behind autonumbering and you learn the how-to's of constructing a variety of autonumber sequences.
Chapter 4, "Headers and Footers," covers the practical uses of headers and footers, what they're made of, and how they work together with FrameMaker's interrelated parts. You explore the concepts behind building, modifying, and using headers and footers to achieve complex tasks and understand some of the pitfalls and tricks in dealing with them.
Chapter 5, "Cross-References," explores the typical uses of cross-references and how they work, how to integrate cross-references in documents, and what to do when they misbehave.
Chapter 6, "Table Survival Guide," covers a few topics that go beyond table basics, such as header rows, titles, custom ruling and shading, figures within tables, and conversion between table and text.
Chapter 7, "Combining Documents into Books," teaches you the benefits of building book files, how to work with a variety of book commands, and how to understand automatic numbering and other automated features after a book file is created.
Chapter 8, "Creating Tables of Contents and Other Lists," explains the architecture behind tables of contents and other lists. You learn how to set up and edit lists, create prefix numbering, and solve everyday problems.
Chapter 9, "Indexing," helps you make FrameMaker's indexing features work for you. From creating a variety of index entries to controlling the format of the index, this chapter covers a variety of indexing techniques.
Chapter 10, "Two Versions Within One Document," focuses on the concepts behind conditional text, appropriate uses of conditional text, and how to create and implement conditional text in documents. You are also shown the pitfalls in working with conditional text along the way.
Chapter 11, "PDF and HTML," teaches you about the tools available in FrameMaker for converting documents to PDF and HTML and how your document's criteria fit for either.
Chapter 12, "Converting Documents from Other Applications," shows you the best practices to clean up converted Microsoft Word documents quickly and efficiently.
Chapter 13, "Typical FrameMaker Headaches," teaches you how to approach and solve some common problems that you might encounter while you work on document projects. This includes the dreaded Missing Fonts error, mysterious templates, and undocumented features.
The Glossary provides a list of specialized FrameMaker words and their definitions, along with quick tips.
I wrote this book from a Microsoft Windows perspective. As you know, FrameMaker is nearly identical on various computing platforms. Although the conventions used are Windows-based, the basic concepts and techniques discussed in this book can be used equally well by users of various platforms.
Each chapter is independent and stands on its own. Go directly to the chapters that contain topics that interest you, or use the comprehensive index to find the subject of which you are looking. Try out the techniques (presented in the examples) as you go along and analyze the results in your own documents.
The following table shows the various conventions used throughout the book.
Conventions Used in This Book
|Convention Example
|Format > Document > Numbering
|Select the Format menu, then Document in the Format menu list and Numbering from the Document submenu.
|Control f
|Press the Control Key and lowercase letter f at the same time.

Resolving Problems - Birds of Wisdom
A few days ago I was sitting expectantly at my computer, patiently waiting for an idea to penetrate my mind for an article that I was writing. As I sat quietly pondering my dilemma, a familiar sound brought me back to reality due to its unusual proximity. I had heard this rapid fluttering of wings many times as I observed the vast avifauna of this little country but never had I encountered it while sitting in my office. I gazed upward in a slight panic to confront my unexpected visitor. There, battering its head in an unsuccessful attempt at escape was a hummingbird trapped in an unfamiliar environment.
I often leave the door to the patio open so that my dog "Boo" can frequent the back yard at his leisure. I also have two lovebirds that chatter constantly and often imitate the local wildlife. They have a terrible habit of scattering their seed around the base of their cage. It is therefore not uncommon to see sparrows hopping hopefully across the floor in search of discarded morsels. But this is the first time that I have encountered a visitor of such renown. Perhaps it took an errant turn while roaming the back yard, or possibly a mistake in judgment. Whichever the case, it was now my responsibility to lead this disoriented fowl back to reality.
My concern was intensified as I realized the imminent danger that this animal was creating for itself. Hummingbirds, due to their extremely high metabolism while in flight, must consume great quantities of nectar to provide the energy necessary to sustain life. If this tiny captive continued its passionate struggle to escape it could place itself in peril of starvation and death.
As I gazed upon this hapless creature endeavoring to extricate itself from this unfortunate predicament, I pondered how I could assist. Naively I began speaking softly to the panic-stricken bird thinking that my tranquil urgings would convince it to follow my instruction, not understanding that I was just adding to the dilemma. I waved my hands unsuccessfully, hoping that the animal would fly toward the open door and freedom. Realizing that I could not block its passage in the opposite direction, I decided to use a broom to gently guide it from its captivity. Finally this tiny inmate, exhausted from its futile attempts to pass through the ceiling, rested on the end of the broom and allowed me to transport it to liberty.
As I sat back and pondered the preceding events, I correlated the desperate attempts by the bird to extricate itself from its captivity to a person's feeble endeavors to rectify problems in which they find themselves inexplicably entangled. The first reaction is to panic, undertaking various unsuccessful actions, hoping that something will miraculously deliver one from the predicament. These endeavors may be repeated several times with the same results, yet not shatter the expectation that the next attempt will be triumphant. Outside assistance is rejected due to pride or embarrassment. In the end, the unfortunate contender will abandon his aspirations of ever resolving the conflict and resign himself to the consequences.

I was reminded of how, as a child, I would collect fleas from our dog and place these sprightly insects into an old shoebox. Fleas have a remarkable ability to jump astounding distances relative to their body length. This spry little bug can cover a distance of 33 cm (13 in) and reach heights of 18 cm (7 in), a feat that would make Superman proud. However, once placed in the box and the lid securely fastened, its potential was severely limited. I could here them thumping their heads against the cover during their futile attempts at escape. Eventually the thwack, thwack, thwack, of their efforts would subside into stillness. After a few more minutes the covering could be removed to reveal a circus of tiny creatures, jumping and scurrying about, but never leaving the confines of their self imposed prison. They had adapted to their plight and resigned themselves to a monotonous fate.
We all chase dreams but many times they are dashed against an unpredictable wall of circumstances. We try desperately to resolve this quandary ourselves, often ignoring the sage advice of friends and family, only to fail miserably at every attempt to free ourselves from a difficult situation. Eventually we tire of the battle and surrender to its overwhelming advances.
Yet, this does not have to be our destiny. The truth is that the only genuine challenger to our providence is our pride. That obscure demon of our nature will try desperately to attack our resolve and purpose. To survive, we must recognize that there is a means of escape from any circumstance. We must be tenacious in our efforts to determine our destiny. Finally, we must recognize, as my tiny, feathered house quest learned, that there might be someone, though ominous in appearance, who has been sent to help us in our time of need.

Have questions about this product?
Pretty sweet.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: small
- Height: 5'10"
- Weight: 170lbs
I like my gear to fit a little trim so I ordered a small as i had tried on one other 686 jackets in that size that fit great, and this jacket fits great too but with one exception. The hand gaiters in the cuffs pull really tightly around my thumbs making it pretty weird to move around. It just forces me to use them like any other internal cuff instead of fully under my gloves. Otherwise it's a really great jacket for having no insulation. I't got great waterproofing and good ventilation. I'd go for something warmer on days close to or below freezing, but otherwise it's top notch. My only other really gripe is the goggle that it comes with. I love the Smith I/O range of goggles however the step down Squad goggles that come with the jacket are pretty ordinary. It is cool having a matching set of goggles you can't get any other way but I personally won't use em and so that being the case the jacket is overpriced by about $100. It would be a 5 star review at $200 for the jacket alone or if it had custom I/O goggles instead at the full price. I'd even live with the slight short arm issue, the rest of the jacket is that good.
Wearing this jacket until it falls apart
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Large
- Height: 6'1"
- Weight: 195lbs
Not sure where to start, I freaking love this jacket! Enough insulation to keep you warm from 20 to 40 degrees and you can layer underneath if it gets colder. Hood stretches to fit snug over your helmet, the vader vents let you breathe through the jacket collar without it freezing up like most buffs. The pocket for the goggles is HUGE, I normally don't put my goggles in there but I can take really anything I want on the mountain in that pocket. Couple beers and snacks? Yes. Some tools and the wallet, Yes. Full rotisserie style chicken? Probably, just make sure you have that thing bagged up well because if you yard sale, everybody on the chair lift will keep asking what smells so delicious. On another note, the goggles and lenses are one of a kind and you cant get them anywhere else!

Aintree Racecourse
Aintree Racecourse is home to one of Britain's biggest races, the Aintree Grand National. A steeplechase course known for its brutal difficulty, this racecourse is one of the most feared by jockeys. Located at Aintree in Liverpool, this racecourse is well known to the public at large thanks to the popularity of the Grand National Festival.
Map to Aintree Racecourse
Address: Ormskirk Road, Liverpool, Merseyside, L9 5AS
Phone: 0151 522 2922
History of Aintree Racecourse
Established in 1829, Aintree Racecourse began with flat races for several years until steeplechases began in 1839. The fences of Aintree Racecourse are an interesting part of its history, due to some of the terrifying accidents that have occurred on them in the Grand National and other races.
Becher's Brook is a notorious fence. It got its name from Captain Becher, the first winner of the precursor to the modern Grand National. When Becher fell from his mount in the first proper Grand National in 1839, he took cover in a brook that ran along the side of the fence. The current Becher's Brook is not quite as formidable as it once was, as a backward slope on the landing was leveled off after two horses fell at the fence in 1989. Additionally, the brook that Becher used for cover was drained to prevent fallen horses from drowning.
Notable Races of Aintree Racecourse
Obviously the most notable race at Aintree Racecourse is the Aintree Grand National, but this is not the only race to be run there. Other important race days at Aintree Racecourse include:
- Becher Chase Day, with two races run on the Grand National track
- Old Roan Chase Day, the opening meeting to the jump season
How to Get to Aintree Racecourse
Aintree Racecourse can be reached by road, rail, and air.
- You may reach Aintree by road via the M6, M62 or M57 if travelling from the south. Travellers approaching from the north may also access Aintree via the M6, as well as the M58. If approaching from the east, take the M62 or M57. Those travelling on the M57 can also make use of the free park-and-ride facility.
- If arriving by air, be sure to book a flight to the Liverpool John Lennon Airport or Manchester Airport. Both are less than an hour away from the racecourse.
- The closest major railway station to the Aintree Racecourse is the Liverpool Lime Street Station. From there, local trains may be taken to Aintree Station, located close to the racecourse.
Aintree Racecourse Facilities
Food and Beverages – The Princess Royal Restaurant, the Sefton Rooms, and the Sunloch Restaurant all provide patrons of Aintree Racecourse with refreshments and excellent views of the course.
Corporate/Conference – Private boxes and chalets are available for a minimum of 30 people, and conferences of up to 600 delegates can be catered for at Aintree Racecourse.
Disabled Facilities – Disabled patrons should contact the venue to make arrangements before visiting.

Post research found the cinnamon flavored corn and wheat puffs, introduced in November, are more broadly appealing than Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles, which has tended to skew toward the younger side of the brand's 6-to-12-year-old age group. So Cinna-Crunch Pebbles will be targeted to tweens with print, TV and radio ads, and to adults via print.
The broadcast effort starts this week, with the tween magazine ads beginning to run in March issues. The print ads targeted to adults appear in April issues.
The campaign, from Ogilvy & Mather, Los Angeles, still centers around "Flintstones" characters Fred and Barney in Bedrock but, because of the older target, incorporates a few new twists. The TV spot, which will air on network, syndication and cable, adds first-time live-action scenes to the animation typical of Pebbles ads.
"The live-action element makes the advertising more relevant to older kids, who wanted to see kids their own age in the advertising," said Trissa Koda, brand manager for Pebbles.
Radio spots, utilized for the first time, reach out to tweens with an announcer interviewing Fred and Barney in a talk-show format.
"Radio was an interesting way of getting across the experiential crunch aspect of the cereal," Ms. Koda said.
The tagline for tween print is "Rock your worldwith new Cinna-Crunch Pebbles."
MOVING On UP
The Cinna-Crunch variety, originally introduced as a limited-time cereal last May, was credited with moving Pebbles from its No. 10 position in kids cereals to No. 7.
While overall cereal sales were virtually flat, the Pebbles brand climbed roughly 10% in 1999 vs. 1998, according to Kraft research. For the 52 weeks ended Dec. 5, Fruity Pebbles rose 6.3% to $124 million; and Cocoa Pebbles were up 3.7% to $74 million, according to Information Resources Inc.
Kraft spent $11.4 million on advertising for the Pebbles flavors in the first nine months of 1999, compared with $16.4 million for all of 1998, per Competitive Media Reporting.

KENNEWICK, Wash-- There are many options for cancer patients living in the Tri-Cities, but did you know our region has medical technology similar to hospitals in big cities?Doctors say it was the community's drive that brought the excellent treatment options to the Tri-Cities. Before the center became so advanced, many patients had to drive to Seattle or Portland hospitals. It's a state of the art cancer treatment center fully loaded with the latest cancer fighting technology. Brand new to the center is a lightspeed scanner. It provides imaging of cancer inside the body, they also have radiation therapy that kills cancer cells, and mammosite which treats breast cancer. These are just some of the treatments available. Doctors say what helps the center expand is people in our community, who want access to higher levels of care.
"I think the folks that live around here always felt like they should have every opportunity to have as good of treatment care for their diseases as they did for anything else," said Dr. Richard Giever, Oncologist at the Center.Some may assume that Hanford would be the reason why the level of cancer care is so extensive, but doctors say it's had a very minimal affect.
"It's measured perhaps in the tens, over all of these year's," said Dr. Thomas Rado, Onocolgist at the Center.Each day the center treats more than 100 patients, which could not be possible without the support of 300 active volunteers.

good time to change to solar heating
With energy prices on the rise its a good time to change to solar heating
WE LIVE IN ONE OF the world's sunniest countries, so it makes sense that we should use solar power to do our bit to protect the environment, put a freeze on global warming and save money.
– Save up to $4000 when you install a Modern Solar Hot Water system, plus you could save up to $700 a year off your electricity bill! TheGovernment is aiming to phase out electric water heaters and giving eligible households a generous $1,600 rebate for making the switch!
As solar water heaters are so good for the environment, governments at the Federal and State levels offer incentives and rebates to help you make the switch.
A staggering 70 per cent of energy use in Australian homes is for space heating and cooling (40%) and heating water (30%). Solar heating can dramatically reduce electricity usage, therefore reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Converting your house can be easy and inexpensive – it just takes planning.
Federal Hot Water Rebate
The Australian Federal Government is helping Australian households install climate friendly water heaters. Non-means tested rebates of $1600 are available in eligible circumstances to install solar and heat pump hot water systems to replace electric storage hot water systems in existing privately owned homes.
The rebate is offered for systems installed on, or after 3rd February 2009 until June 2012, subject to the availability of funds.
This measure will mean households can save money and help fight global warming. Water heating is the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions from the average Australian home, accounting for around 25% of home energy use (excluding the family car).
Eligible systems
To be eligible for the rebate, a hot water system must:
- replace an electric storage hot water system
- be purchased and installed on, or after 3 February 2009
- be a solar or heat pump hot water system that is eligible for at least 20 Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) at the time and place of installation
- be installed by a suitably qualified person (for example a plumber and/or electrician).
Eligible households
- The dwelling where the hot water system is installed must be a principal place of residence.
- The household must not have already accessed the $1600 insulation offer under the Homeowner Insulation Program for the same home.
Further conditions and eligibility criteria apply. Please refer to the Federal Government Solar Hot Water Rebate Guidelines and Application Form brochure for full program details.
State & Local Government
A number of State and Local Governments offer rebates to help residents to switch to solar water heating in recognition of the environmental benefits.
Replace your electric water heater with Solar Hot Water and SAVE up to $4,000 in Government Rebates and RECS with Modern Solar.
WA Solar Hot Water Rebate
The Government of Western Australia is offering solar hot water rebates to householders who install environmentally friendly, gas-boosted solar water heaters.
Rebates are available for new, two or more panel, gas-boosted solar water heaters
Solar water heaters must be used for private residential purposes (excepting display homes and residential developments where special conditions apply)
Solar water heaters must be purchased and installed within the 12 months prior to a rebate application being received by the Sustainable Energy Development Office.
Rebates Value
$500 for natural gas-boosted solar water heaters
$700 for bottled LP gas-boosted solar water heaters used in areas without reticulated gas.
Full terms and conditions of the Solar Water Heater Subsidy Scheme are outlined in the scheme guidelines.

For weddings, please find the conditions at the bottom of this page...
Villa Benedetta is a beautiful historic residence that has been for many years the beating heart of the Folonari family, a renowned name in the Italian wine panorama. Dating back to the early 1800, the villa is located at the center of the family's agricultural holding that is currently producing excellent internationally known wines.
After a long and thorough renovation of the villa in 2014, the owners have decided to convert it into a vacation home considering its overall wonderful characteristics, elegance and charm. The spectacular typical Tuscan surroundings are perfect for excursions either on foot, on a bike or for horseback riding.
The park of the villa is immaculately kept and features furnished shade areas dedicated to just relaxing while enjoying the view on the stunning Tuscan landscape or al fresco dining (there is a new barbecue and a covered gazebo that sits up to 18 people).

Nearby the square there is also a furnished supermarket.
Walking distance from the villa there is a bus stop where it is possible to take several buses to Florence or other nearby locations such as San Gimignano or Siena.
Description of the interiors: The villa features 9 large charming bedrooms (all with the characteristic high ceilings) and 8 bathrooms in total.

The maximum number of guests allowed for any event on the property is 30 people (total includes villa residents).
Villa Benedetta has a wonderful family history that we are so grateful the Folonari family is willing to share. The villa itself is large, welcoming, well-cared for and has the most amazing views. We loved it! Antonella and her housekeeper, Yolanda, were so easy to work with - our planning and stay were seamless. Highly recommend this incredible, beautiful home! Everyone in our party was blown away!
This villa is Devine! Our stay was made perfect by the large living quarters and attentive staff. You do need a car because it is in a remote area. Tuscany is beautiful and this villa adds to the beauty.
We had the most amazing stay at the villa
It's a beautiful property it has everything you need. The staff is great !
We came with a party of 15 all adults and a 1 year old. We were there for 6 days and everyone loved it. We hired a chef for a dinner and it was fabulous. We were there in late October so we didn't use the pool. The grounds were very nice and the location was perfect, in the heart of Chianti. We would highly recommend it.
Staying at Villa Benedetta was like living in a dream. The photos and descriptions cannot do justice to what is one of the most amazing places I have ever been to.
Antonella and Iolanda were so wonderfully accommodating, every need or request was met and we had the most amazing experience staying here. I cannot recommend this place enough.
We stayed here in early September 2017 and loved the property. We had our wedding here and the property was absolutely beautiful. Antonella was super helpful and we could not have asked for a more perfect week staying here.
We all greatly enjoyed our stay at the Villa. Masses of space for everyone of all ages . The rooms are elegant, stylish and extremely comfortable. Wonderful to have air con in the lovely bedrooms, and also many different rooms to sit in. The villa is in a magical setting with lovely views. The garden and pool are beautiful (and well maintained daily) - lots of shade (and sun loungers) round the pool. Lovely to be able to sit and eat on the terrace (in sun or shade), and a superbly equipped kitchen easy to cater for many people. It felt like being in a large private hotel, with excellent daily care from the lovely Housekeeper.

Cate Blanchett's Oscar 2016 Odds Are Looking Good Already!
Cate Blanchett rocks a green jumpsuit while arriving at LAX Airport on Sunday afternoon (October 4) in Los Angeles.
Academy Awards experts are already beginning to put in their predictions for the Best Actress race, and it looks like the 46-year-old actress is one of the front runners to win!
According to Gold Derby, Cate (for Carol) and Brie Larson (for Room) are the two leaders in the race, which also could include Jennifer Lawrence (for Joy), Saoirse Ronan (for Brooklyn), and Carey Mulligan (for Suffragette). Of course, this is all speculation based on expert opinions, and anything could happen! Oscar nominations won't even be announced until early next year. In the meantime, it's fun to speculate!

I would like to bring to the cognizance of the people the atrocious treatment of prisoners by a company called Prison Transportation Services of America (PTSA). This is a private company based out of Tennessee that transports prisoners being extradited across the country. The conditions in which the prisoners are transported are most arduous and inhumane with no consideration for the safety or well-being of the prisoners.
November 1, 2013
It's the ingenious design of prison to focus more on profit and perpetual imprisonment through antagonizing and framing inmates than on rehabilitation, human rights and community development. We get no second chances. African American youth like myself grew up in East Baltimore, never hearing about the tortuous prison structure, George Jackson, Angela Davis or Kwame Toure.

Farmers in West Wales have called for a firm commitment from the Welsh Government over support payments.
"Welsh agriculture is in the grip of a cash flow crisis with prolonged low prices continuing to put severe pressure on the majority of dairy, sheep, arable and horticultural farm businesses," Pembrokeshire NFU's county chairman, Simon Richards, said today (Tuesday, October 13).
"Cash flow is a major concern, not just for farmers but for the multitude of rural businesses that depend on farmers for their income.
"It is very disappointing that the Welsh Government has confirmed it will not be in a position to take advantage of the flexibility given to it by the European Commission to make up to 70 per cent of direct payments from October 16.
"The Welsh Government needs to recognise the magnitude of the crisis facing the agricultural industry.
"We call on it to make a clear and firm commitment to make a substantial partial payment of this year's Basic Payment Scheme support to all farmers in Wales when the payment window opens on December 1," he added.
"Our farm businesses are being ravaged by the volatility of the global market place and while we recognise there is very little the Welsh Government can do to directly influence global markets, we are looking for it to use the tools at its disposal.
"Delivering prompt payment support to the industry through the Basic Payment Scheme would help businesses cope with the challenges of operating in such a volatile market place."

Great shot! The sky and the statue complement each other just right. Good of you to shoot from the back, might not be as dramatic if its a frontal shot.ReplyDelete

anna > Thanks I appreciate it
fotoaddict > Yes it got through. These pop up windows are crazy.
ronals >Hello Ronals welcome. I guess you are right. After you take the escalators apparently you reach the top of the hill, but the real one is where the castle of Montjuic is which I also recommend for more great views. I see that you have a nice picture of Montjuic in 1929.
bob >Oh yes you are right Bob. It's dull today after a few days of good weather

VERY NICE - ideal composition, great lighting, very dramatic shot! Statues are typically boring to look at on a photograph but this one is great! Congrats!ReplyDelete

Seattle biotech can pursue $23M claim
Strict Standards: Declaration of C_DataMapper_Driver_Base::define() should be compatible with C_Component::define($context = false) in /nfs/c06/h01/mnt/156219/domains/quitamteam.com/html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/datamapper/class.datamapper_driver_base.php on line 0
That resulted in doctors billing Medicare for unapproved uses of the drug. After a CTI whistleblower sued on behalf of the government under what's called a "qui tam" lawsuit, the company agreed to settle the case for $10.5 million without admitting liability. Whistleblowers in successful qui tam cases are entitled to a portion of the money recovered by the government.
CTI, believing the mistake was not its fault, sued Lash Group, hoping to recover the $10.5 million plus $12.3 million in attorneys fees and damages, including loss of reputation.
Historically, courts have not allowed defendants in qui tam lawsuits to try to recoup their fines or settlements by suing others — the principle being that they should not be able to avoid paying for their sins.
But here, the 9th Circuit panel held in an opinion by Judge M. Margaret McKeown that CTI settled without admitting liability — so it's far from clear it engaged in any wrongdoing. Therefore, the court said, it should be allowed to pursue its claims against Lash. The panel sent the case back to U.S. District Court in Seattle.

How to Clean Your Keyboard like a Champion
What you want to do is industrial-strength cleaning. If you're like most computer users, chances are your keyboard has never had a cleanup ever, and has accumulated an untold amount of filth.
Which is why you need to clean your keyboard like a champion.
You need:
1. A flathead screwdriver
2. A vacuum cleaner
3. A cleaning cloth
4. Maybe an old toothbrush
5. A pillow case
6. A face mask is nice to have
7. Some kind of cleaning alcohol is nice to have
First of all, take a photo of your keyboard for later reference.
Use a flathead screwdriver to pop off all the key caps. A word of caution: do it gently. You do not want to break any of them. Do it like Charlize Theron cracking a safe in The Italian Job.
Is that a dead insect?
Anyway, this is not so bad. I've seen much worse while performing this procedure on my colleagues's PCs back when I was working in media.
Btw, don't lose the key caps. Place them all in a pillow case. Tell you why later.
Here now is the actual dirty work. Get a vacuum cleaner -- a real vacuum cleaner, not those lame USB ones. I would recommend an Electrolux Ergorapido handheld vacuum cleaner because you can hold it like this, like Norman Bates in Psycho (cue screeching violins background music).
It's to provide an element of violence to this otherwise mundane task.
Some keyboards may require using an old toothbrush to loosen dirt off them.
Btw, you may want to put on a face mask throughout the cleaning process.
Vacuum and wipe the keyboard until it's completely clean.
You do not have to clean the key caps individually. That would be tedious. Instead, just put them all in a pillow case, tie the pillow case and throw it into a washing machine together with the rest of your dirty laundry. When they come out, you'll find that they have been magically thoroughly cleaned.
Let the key caps dry and place them back onto their original places on their keyboard.
The longer key caps have hinges so make sure you put them back on properly.
Also, some keys come in pairs and they may not be necessarily the same length, like these Shift keys. If you place them wrongly, just say 'Shift happens' and remove them again.
Almost there.
The thoroughly cleaned keyboard.
For more gross photos of unclean keyboards, check out this post of mine from 2007: http://calmatwork.blogspot.com/2007/05/have-you-looked-at-your-keyboard-lately.html

Zurlon Tipton Dead - Ex-NFL Player Dies in Accidental Shooting
Former Indianapolis Colts football player Zurlon Tipton has died after he accidentally shot himself.
The 26-year-old former NFL star was at a car dealership in Michigan on Tuesday (June 28) when he reached into a bag to grab something, but accidentally hit the trigger on one of the two guns inside. The gun shot Zurlon in the stomach.
While Zurlon was alert and interacting with people following the tragic accident, he died at the hospital due to his injuries.
"A gentleman … brought a vehicle into our service department between 9 and 9:30 this morning," the dealership's general manager Mark DeMara told The Detroit News. "He had a transmission leak in his vehicle. At some point he reached into a duffel bag that was on the passenger seat of his vehicle and the pistol that was in there deployed and shot the gentleman in the abdomen."
We send our thoughts and condolences to Zurlon's loved ones during this difficult time.
