Participation Rule Eased by the NCUA
Eighteen months after it proposed a controversial loan participation rule that would have capped purchases from single originators to just 25% of net worth, the NCUA Board approved a final rule June 20 that significantly relaxed the provision.
That concentration limit was increased significantly in the final rule, to 100% of net worth or $5 million, whichever is greater.
"We heard loud and clear that the proposed concentration limit of 25% of net worth from a single originator was too low," Chairman Debbie Matz said during the meeting at the NCUA's Alexandria, Va. headquarters. "It would have had the unintended consequence of restricting small credit unions that need to diversify from purchasing participations."
In developing the final rule, Matz said the regulator met with credit union officials and trade organizations and also established a working group composed of officials with loan participation experience and NCUA staff. She said the industry representatives helped ensure the final rule would be "workable in the real world, by maintaining a healthy marketplace."
Additionally, the final rule will require originating lenders that are federal credit unions to retain at least 10% of the loan, as required by the Federal Credit Union Act. State-chartered credit unions, CUSOs and banks that originate participation loans must retain 5% of the loan, which Matz said is consistent with the Dodd-Frank Act.
The rule will also require a written loan participation agreement between originators and borrowers. Director of Supervision Matt Biliouris told the board NCUA examiners will review the agreements during examinations and will put an emphasis on adequate documentation and due diligence.
Purchasing credit unions must develop a loan participation policy that includes concentration limits, including the cap on loans from a single originator as well as self-imposed limits on loan types and single borrowers. However, both the single originator cap and limit on single borrowers are open to waivers.
The policy must also establish underwriting standards but will allow federally insured credit unions to participate in types of loans it does not originate. Different, and when appropriate, less stringent underwriting standards than what credit unions use when originating their own loans can be included in the policy, according to documentation provided by the NCUA at the board meeting. If a federally insured credit union both originates and purchases loans, it may establish different underwriting standards for each activity.
Biliouris said his Office of Examination and Insurance will issue guidance for credit unions that will outline supervisory expectations for the rule and provide best practices for developing policies and agreements.
The rule also requires originators to participate in the transaction for the life of the loan and restricts federally insured credit unions to participations in which the borrower is already a member of a participating credit union at the time of the purchase.
The rule will be effective 30 days after it is published in the Federal Register; Staff Attorney Pamela Yu told the board she estimates the effective date will be around August 1.
Matz said the rule was necessary because of increased participation activity in the last five years. Since December 2007, she said, credit unions have seen a 40% increase in the dollar value of participations kept on their books. However, during the same period, participation charge-offs have increased by 160%.
Representatives from both NAFCU and CUNA said they were pleased with the changes the NCUA made to the final rule. In particular, the single originator cap increase and flexibility for waivers. However, NAFCU President/CEO Fred Becker said in a prepared statement that his trade association believes the rule is unnecessary and would not justify compliance costs.
"We will scrutinize this complex rule and work with our members to determine where and how it may be improved and, if necessary, recommend revisiting the rule," Becker said.
The board also approved a member business loan rule for state-chartered credit unions in Illinois that differs from the NCUA's rule. Region IV Director Keith Morton told the board the rule is more conservative than the NCUA rule because it limits MBL activity to credit unions with more than $30 million in assets and eliminates the appeals process for credit unions that have had rule waiver requests denied. Illinois is the seventh state to establish MBL rules that differ from NCUA rules. The other six states are Washington, Oregon, Texas, Wisconsin, Connecticut and Maryland, Morton said.
The NCUA also distributed its May 2013 share insurance fund financial statements, which revealed a $14.7 million charge off. As of May 31, the share insurance fund has charged off $30.5 million year to date. That figure is smaller than the $37.5 million the share insurance fund had charged off as of May 31, 2012.

Lawrence Kasdan, the director and screenwriter of Hollywood hits such as "The Big Chill" and "Body Heat," has a vacation home in Telluride, Colo.
But when it came to making a movie, "Darling Companion," inspired by an incident that happened to him and his family in Colorado, he came instead to Utah.
For an independent movie with a budget of $5 million, it all comes down to money. "We came to Utah, where there are nice rebates, and we needed them," Kasdan said in a recent phone interview.
Utah is a player in the national game of luring Hollywood film productions to distant locations. When Kasdan shot "Darling Companion" in the fall of 2010, the state's tax incentive for movie and TV production was a 20 percent tax rebate. Now, the incentive can go up to 25 percent under certain conditions, putting it equal to neighboring New Mexico.
The movie which Kasdan co-wrote with his wife, Meg, and directed stars Diane Keaton and Kevin Kline as Beth and Joseph, a married couple drifting apart. Joseph is a surgeon obsessed with his work, leaving little time for Beth. Beth rescues a dog abandoned on the side of the highway and bonds with the animal, naming it Freeway.
A year after the rescue, when the couple are in the Colorado Rockies for the wedding of their daughter ("Mad Men's" Elisabeth Moss) to a veterinarian she met in the course of rescuing the dog Joseph takes Freeway out for a walk in the woods and loses him.
Kasdan made the most of the Utah locations. For the couple's vacation home, two cabins at the Sundance resort were used. When several characters have coffee at a Telluride landmark, it's actually a restaurant in Park City. Locations around American Fork doubled for a wooded hiking trail on which Beth and Joseph get lost.
With a cast of familiar Hollywood faces and indie actors including Dianne Wiest, Richard Jenkins, Mark Duplass and Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer ("Angels & Demons") Kasdan filled in some smaller roles with Utah actors.
One of those was Anne Cullimore Decker, a local stage veteran.
Decker's agent told her there was a role available and called her in to audition. "They did not tell me it was Larry Kasdan," Decker said. "They said, 'We didn't want you to get nervous.' "
Decker read for two roles. One was a red-headed woman whom Jenkins and Duplass encounter during the search for Freeway. The other was the role of Kline and Wiest's mother.
"They told me, 'You just don't look old enough' " to play the mother, Decker said. (For the record, Decker is 76; Kline and Wiest are both 64.)
"[Kasdan said] 'I want to see her again, want to see what the makeup people could do to age her,' " Decker said. After that test, Decker got the part.
It's only one scene and was supposed to be a one-day shoot, Decker said but because of bad weather, it was stretched to three days.
In the downtime, Decker said, she had "great conversations" with the stars, particularly Kline and Jenkins. "Both men are very interesting human beings who go far beyond being actors," she said.
For Utah actors, Decker said, film work is a gift that keeps on giving. "I'm still getting residuals for 'The Capture of Grizzly Adams,' " she said, of a film that was shot 30 years ago.
Kasdan's career has been firmly within the Hollywood studio system (his first two screenwriting credits are for co-writing "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark"). "Darling Companion," which was picked up for distribution by Sony Pictures Classic, was his first independent film.
"The surprising thing is there's very little difference," Kasdan said. "Essentially it's the same activity every day. There's still a lot of trucks there, and people there to do the work. You never have enough time, just like a studio movie."
Kasdan used a mostly local crew and said he "was surprised about how deep [the talent] is."
"The spirit is fantastic," he said. "People live in Salt Lake City and drive to the locations. They're great people. Everybody entered into it in the best kind of spirit."
Decker sees "Darling Companion" as an example of what Utah can offer Hollywood.
"We've got so much going for us," she said. "We've got the scenery, we've got technical people that know the business, we have the equipment. We also have a work ethic. Maybe it's the Mormon pioneer heritage or whatever. People are reliable, and they do what they're supposed to do."
'Darling Companion'
Now playing • Lawrence Kasdan's comedy "Darling Companion" opens today at the Broadway Centre Cinemas, 111 E. 300 South, Salt Lake City.

Picking peppers, processing pesto, stirring savory salsa and chomping on chard are but a few of the activities Nurturing Center families have had the good fortune to experience, thanks to Udgar and Puja Parsons, owners of Growing Spaces.
When Udgar approached Liz about providing Nurturing Center families with gardening space with a 26-foot growing dome, she answered with a resounding "yes!"
It made sense to both Udgar and Liz that Nurturing Center families be given an opportunity to learn how to nurture plants, and be nurtured by the fruits of their labor. To have free fresh produce available to families is certainly a blessing; learning how to start seedlings, care for them, transplant them into the beds and then watch them rapidly grow in a nearly perfect climate has been fun for everyone.
One 4-year old visitor exclaimed: "I feel so happy in here."
This has certainly been a learning experience. One funny incident occurred when one of the Nurturing Center's TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) fathers asked Liz if he could plant zucchini starts in one of the beds.
Not a problem, right?
Well, it is when it turns out that those zucchini were actually disguised as pumpkin plants — soon taking over the entire south end of the dome with leaves that looked like they belonged in Jurassic Park. The plants ultimately had to be removed despite Udgar's best attempt to hang them for shade.
Produce gathered from the dome has been used for Share Our Strength's (SOS) Cooking Matters classes and for Care and Share's "No Kid Hungry" free summer lunch program — also providing a perfect opportunity to teach families and children about using fresh, healthy food at the Nurturing Center. These classes are important, since many individuals are not accustomed to cooking fresh produce, particularly if it is typically not added to their usual meals.
Nurturing Center staff and families will continue to reap the rewards of growing vegetables?— and, hopefully, fruit from several fruit trees that were planted by a permaculture expert — at evening Nurturing Parenting Program classes during the fall and winter months ahead. Class participants are provided with a family-style dinner prior to every class.
If you have questions regarding Pagosa Springs Nurturing Center programs, contact Liz Alley at 799-2187.

For the last two days I have received e-mail from 'Amazon', on a letter-head that for all intents and purposes looks like the real thing.
"Dear Sir, your item has been dispatched, please use the following link to track your order". I deleted the message, as I had not ordered anything from Amazon.
The second message was the same, and I had a closer look at it.
It was duplicated to dozens of e-mail addresses similar to mine.
There was a .zip file attached that ZA picked up when I clicked on it.
ZA did not stop the initial mail getting through, so any suggestions how to stop this happening again would be appreciated.

CHATTANOOGA (UTC/The Loop)—Graduation is intended to be a great accomplishment to anticipate. Many students have stayed up long hours to study for exams, finish projects, and even put their personal lives on the back burner to succeed in college. Most are ready to graduate, but for others, reality is sinking in and it's beginning to bother them.
Some students are nervous about finding a job after college and moving to a new city. Others feel like they are losing their college support system and having to move out on their own. Students who stay on campus and graduating in May from UTC have a few days after graduation to move out.
Some students aren't in a rush to be completely on their own. Even though moving back home may not be at the top of most students' lives, there can be some pros for moving back in:
- Students may not have to pay rent or utilities
- Gives students the opportunity of saving money
- May be able to work for a previous employer while back at home
- Don't have to worry about spending money on furniture
- Gives students the opportunity to spend time with family that was lost while away at school
Amanda Standefer is a Human Resource Management major from Dunlap, TN who is graduating in May. She is like any other college student who has enjoyed the college life, exams, homework and the experience of meeting new friends. The only difference between Standefer and other college students is the fact that she has been staying at home with her parents since she started school in 2006.
"I drive an hour every day to get to school. So I am comfortable with staying with my parents. I will definitely be staying there after I graduate until I start my career but I'm in no big hurry, Standefer says."(misplaced quotation marks)
Moving back home just doesn't sit well with too many college students no matter the benefits that it might have. Latasha Spears, who is a Finance major from Memphis, TN, says that moving back in with her parents after graduating in May is not an option. Spears is currently working at BlueCross BlueShield in the security department. She is interested in moving closer to her family between Memphis and Nashville, but refuses to move back in with her parents.
"I have been living on my own for a while and I can't put myself in a situation where I know I will be living off of anyone else," Spears says.
With the down economy and the job market to match it, some students are looking forward to grad school. Standefer is definitely considering graduate school in the fall after working in the summer to save money.
"I feel like the economy is bad," Standefer says. "I feel like nowadays a college degree is basically like a high school diploma so graduate school is the best way to go."
After a student graduates and see that they are ready to apply to a graduate program, they need to first figure out what the best programs are for their major. According to viewspoints.com, the top five graduate schools of business are:
- Harvard University
- Stanford University
- University of Pennsylvania
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- Northern University
In Spears' case, she doesn't believe that graduate school would benefit her because she is looking to follow in her father's footsteps. Spears' father has been an owner of a chicken wing restaurant for the past eight years and she is looking to become owner of the restaurant one day.
"I want to be my own boss. I'm going to be an entrepreneur so me attending graduate school is not necessary," Spears says.
For Criminal Justice major Talesha Wade from Milan, TN, graduate school is not even a question. "For my major, I have to go to law school, so the only problem that I'm facing now, is getting accepted into graduate school," Wade says.
On May 2nd, UTC students will walk across the stage to receive their diplomas and start their journey into the real world. Some students will find themselves scrambling for ideas and opportunities that will lead them on the right path to success for life after college.

Madonna appeared at the Brooklyn Museum last night for a sit-down with feminist writer Marilyn Minter. Madonna was an outspoken critic of Donald Trump during the presidential election, and on the eve of his inauguration she showed no signs of backing down. The star described Trump's ascendancy as the nadir of American politics.

"He's actually doing us a great service, because we have gone as low as we can go," she said Thursday night. "We can only go up from here, so what are we going to do? We have two choices, destruction and creation. I chose creation."
Madonna's bleak assessment included a bit of psychoanalysis: She says Americans simply got too complacent with their rights, liberties and the progress we've made.
"I do believe that Trump was elected for a reason, to show us how lazy and un-unified and lackadaisical and taking for granted we've become of our freedom and the rights that we have as Americans," Madonna said. "I feel like people forgot what was written in the Constitution."

Now at Tim Tyson's talk that is a closeout to the Campus Reads a Book program. Tim introduced by director of the Stone African-American Culture Center. "Mercy" says Tim. Tim talks about the number of Methodist and Free Will Baptist preachers in his family. He introduces his parents and also Eddie McCoy who we all know from the book. Much said about Eddie as a local historian and notes that Eddie's tapes and transcripts are in the Southern Historical Collection. September 8 5 – 7 Tim, his father, Eddie and Jacqueline Dowd Hall will be speaking at the Wilson Library.
3 point sermon to be delivered. MLK was a Southerner. The Black Power Movement was born in the South like King. King and Black Power Movement had much in common. The South is the major arena on which the problems and successes of our country are played out.
Tim's talk is on MLK (Sally will have more on her blog later I'm sure. She's writing now.).Tim talks about food. MLK's fav food was fried pig's ear sandwiches. Tim is big on food.
[taking time to listen here]
King as a realist not a genial black santa claus as we have made him. Eloquent description of King and is radicalism. Tim now speaks of King's first speech at age 27. Embrasses the non-violent and Christian part of the movement.
Quotes King's Chapel Hill speech. (Sally says that she's read all that could be found on that speech and that she can't recall that quote tho).
Now about the Black Power Movement. Black independent and Black separatism. Black Power are a revival of a tradition of resistance. James Meredith's march and shooting changed the chat "Freedom now" to "Black Power" also the scene of Stokley Carmichael and MLK's debate about the nature of power and how Irish, Italians and Jews had become white and how that might apply to blacks. They did not agree. No one was shouting "Irish Power" in order to get accepted in Boston.
Along Freedom Road: Hyde County, North Carolina and the Fate of Black Schools in the South by David S. Cecelski gets mentioned. As does Governor Aycock's overthrow of the elected govenment of North Carolina.
Fusion movement turn of the century success of democratic vision. The Wilmington riots are mentioned. More readings on that movement here.
Standing ovation for Tim.
Active question time. Is violence necessary? How did he come to tell that story and how long did it take him (since he was 11)? What about the reappropriation of the word nigger is asked by a young black woman senior from Oxford. Tim talks about reappropriation of Tar Heel, Linthead, Redneck, etc. Now about the Wilmington takeover. Aycock and the next six governors were all involved. The beginning of the Jim Crow South. In response to a recently released soldier's concern that he had never heard of the Wilmington riots. How can a white man do African-Amercian studies asks a young white man in African-American Studies. Tim talks about talking on Robert Williams to the Republic of New Africa. Funny but tough talk.
What do we do about working on racism? Friendship is fine but what about public policy asks Tim. How to keep the public sphere open?
Mary Williams will be playing and singing songs that are referenced in the book including a take the roof off the church version of "Blood Done Sign My Name"

The Griffin gals wore yellow shirts and the Griffin guys wore red shirts, while all of the Roys family wore blue shirts to alert visitors which side of the friendship celebration was represented.
Which color was most represented? It wasn't a contest and the majority in attendance were friends and wore no specific color at all.
The party, the third held by the friends that started on the 50th anniversary of their friendshgip as a way to invite friends and family to get together to not only reminisce and share in the friendship, but to include a way for everyone to come together and have a good time. More than 150 friends and family members attended this year's celebration Saturday, representing six states.
Why all the fuss?
"I don't know of anyone else that celebrates their friendship anniversary like these two," Mike's son Micheal Roys said. "But then again, I don't know of very many other people who have been friends for 70 years."
Roys and Griffin are more than just friends, the two share a unique bond that has carried them through many ups, downs and everything in between during the past 70 years.
The two met in 1942 in first grade at Central Ward in Russellville.
No one is quite sure what initially attracted the two as friends, but rumor has it they met in detention. That rumor was playfully started by Griffin himself.
"I think it was just our sense of humor," Griffin said. "It sounds better to say we met in detention though. I like to tell people that."
For anyone who knows the two, or even if you just meet them for the first time, it's easy to see how they might have wound up in detention together.
For whatever reason, the two became inseparable at a young age and that friendship lasted through junior and senior high school and into college.
They were roommates at Arkansas Tech University until Roys transfered to Oklahoma State University (something Griffin still pokes fun of him for), but Griffin said there was just one semester they were separated.Apparently, Roys and Griffin really were the life of the party and one particular resident advisor split the two up in hopes of quieting the dorm.
"We were back together the following semester," Griffin said. "I think it was probably still just as loud, everybody still hung out together in the same room."
Everyone who knew Griffin or Roys around that time had a story to share, most very funny and some not suitable for print. The celebration of their friendship is a way for everyone to come together, share stories, eat and have fun.
Not content with just being friends, the two decided to married first cousins.
Griffin and his wife Linda were dating, (she was a sophomore in high school and he was a senior) when her mother told her she needed to find a date for her cousin, Janet, in order to date Griffin.
Who better to suggest than his buddy Roys?
Roys and his wife Janet were married in June of 1959 and Griffin and Linda were married in August that same year.
Not quite a double wedding, but the groom, wife, best man and maid of honor were the same, just swapped around for each wedding.
What's the secret to their friendship?
"Laughter," Roys said. "We make each other laugh. After all these years, being married to first cousins, raising our children together and attending the same church, I can honestly say Bob is my best friend."
Roys said the celebration Saturday was especially significant because it was the first since they began holding an anniversary party that all of the children were able to attend.
The Roys' two sons and the Griffin's three sons grew up with extended family in "Uncle Mike" and "Uncle Bob."Their children like to tease the two about their friendship, hence the special anniversary cake that looked more like the cake of a married couple, but it was all in good fun.
"It's awesome to get everyone together," son David Griffin said. "I've never seen anyone else have such a close friendship. We all love Uncle Mike."
Griffin and Roys said they and their families have each been blessed by their long-lasting friendship.
"We laugh at ourselves and say, you'll always be my best friend, you know too much," Griffin said laughing. "We've shared the good times and the bad with one another. Just looking around today at all the wonderful friends that came to celebrate with us, lets me know that I'm truly blessed."
Roys said that although the two friends do like to laugh and have a good time, it always obvious to everyone that their friendship has brought a lot of love to the lives of others.
"At the last celebration, someone commented that they didn't know Bob or myself, but that they could sure feel the love at the get-together," Roys said. "And that's really what it's all about. Friends, family, fun and love — we've got all that represented right here today."

In a recent article, DailyTech reported that Apple is
looking to revamp its MobileMe service by allowing users to store all kinds of
content on Apple's servers for less than the original $99/year fee. Now, it
looks like these changes are finally coming to fruition.
Apple's MobileMe service
is a subscription-based collection of online services and software that was
originally introduced in 2000 under the name iTools. It was initially made available
for Mac users, but was later called MobileMe in 2008, which is for Mac OS X,
iOS and Windows users, after a series of name changes.
February 2011, Apple discontinued the sale of MobileMe through its retail
stores, and made it so that users had to sign up for a 60-day free trial of
MobileMe through Apple's website. After that, the MobileMe user is charged $99
to continue the use of these services.
Apple is looking to make more changes to their MobileMe service. According to The
Music Void, Apple has struck a deal with Warner Music Group that will
allow for a new MobileMe music component called a "locker," which is
rumored to be a service that stores a users "digital life" in the
cloud. Apple is also using this new deal to lure in other labels in hopes of
reaching agreements with them as well.
addition, Apple is constructing a $1 billion data center in North Carolina as a
hub to offer these new MobileMe services, as well as the new cloud-based iTunes
music streaming service that Apple is currently working on. This new iTunes
service will offer backups for downloaded songs in case the originals are
damaged or lost, and will also allow users to download to their iPod, iPad and iPhone devices
through one iTunes account. The locker for MobileMe may be linked to this new
iTunes feature in some way, but this is only a rumor at this point.
The new
and improved MobileMe is due to be released in April, and while previous
reports have said that this new plan would be free, The Music Void is placing
a $20 price tag on the annual subscription service.

I notice that their is a leaflet for Nissan Roadside Assistance for the first three years via the RAC. Does anyone know if my vehicle would still qualify for this service, even though i obviously wasn't the original purchaser of the vehicle, when first new.

In response to Edward Lowerys letter (Herald, Nov. 30), he only appears to be concerned about his mothers personal freedom. While I commend him for his devotion to his mother, what about the freedom of others to not breathe second-hand smoke? I have walked down Main Avenue countless times breathing in someone elses smoke.
Smoking is an addiction (or vice, habit, pastime people can justify their behavior with any number of terms). Just because you are addicted to a substance doesnt mean those of us who arent should be subjected to it.
Its funny how someone can expound about a perceived freedom without thinking about how it affects someone else.
Most cities and towns do not allow drinking in public places unless otherwise posted or permitted. I do not see why smoking should be exempted. People drinking do not generally subject others to second-hand alcohol exposure unless they trip and spill their drink on you.
Finally, I am a bit fed up with people threatening to boycott Durango. When I travel to another state, I expect to have to conform to their policies or laws. In California, I cannot speak on my mobile phone without a hands-free device (which I do not own) while driving. So I do not use my mobile phone when driving in California. Quite simple, really.

Veterinarian: Take Precautions to Protect Horses from EHM
- May 11, 2014
- Basic
- Topics:
Contact your veterinarian if your horse's temperature is 101.5°F or higher; a normal, healthy temperature for a horse is around 100°F, and a fever is often the first sign of EHM.
Photo: Stephanie L. Church, Editor-in-Chief
It's springtime and for many horse enthusiasts, that means heading out to horse shows and rodeos. But recent cases of equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy (EHM) after a barrel racing event in Nebraska should serve as a reminder that good biosecurity practices can help prevent illnesses, says a Kansas State University (K-State) veterinarian.
Elizabeth Davis, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVIM, a professor of clinical sciences in K-State's College of Veterinary Medicine referred to two cases of EHM that were diagnosed after a large barrel racing event that took place in Lincoln, Nebraska, on April 10-13. One of the horses, from a farm in northeast Kansas, became ill after its return from the competition, the Kansas Department of Agriculture said. The horse was euthanized and samples tested by the Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory and Equine Diagnostics Services in Lexington, Kentucky, confirmed EHM. Another confirmed case was a horse from Wisconsin that also was present at the Nebraska event.
"EHM can be highly contagious," said Davis of the neurologic disease associated with equine herpesvirus (EHV-1) infections. "If we're not careful, this virus can spread and can be life-threatening."
The virus that causes EHM is EHV-1, which is common and can be present in a horse for years, causing a minor illness when first contracted. Most cases never develop into EHM. Most commonly EHV-1 causes mild to moderate respiratory disease, abortion in pregnant broodmares, and illness in young foals. Only rarely EHV-1 actually causes EHM. In some cases and especially in times of stress, however, the virus can be reactivated and shed to other horses. Stressful situations such as strenuous exercise, long-distance transport, or weaning can be the trigger for viral shedding.
"What determines whether a horse gets sick is its immune system," Davis said. "If a horse's immune system is not strong and the animal is under stress, EHV-1 can develop into EHM. We usually see this after horses have been in a large group, such as at horse shows, rodeos or race tracks."
Clinical sighs usually start with a fever. The illness can progress, and the horse can show signs of weakness and a lack of coordination. Urine dribbling and lethargy could also signal the disease, and sometimes the illness progresses to a horse going down, Davis said. In the worst cases where the animal can't rise, also called recumbency, they can die or are so ill that they will be euthanized.
Davis provided several tips and facts horse owners should remember:
- EHM is easily spread by direct horse-to-horse contact. It can also be spread by contact with contaminated objects such as tack, grooming equipment, feed and water buckets, and people's hands and clothing.
- Contact your veterinarian if your horse's temperature is 101.5°F or higher; a normal, healthy temperature for a horse is around 100°F.
- There are vaccines available to boost a horse's immunity. They're labeled to fight respiratory disease and abortion, but they're not labeled for the prevention of EHM. Work with your veterinarian to select an ideal vaccine program for your horse.
- Some horses recover from EHM, but not without treatment. In some cases, even treated horses can die.
- People cannot get sick from EHV-1 so there is no threat to humans. It is most commonly an equine disease, although it can occur in camelids, such as llamas and alpacas.
Davis said she is not recommending that horse owners stay home from competitions, based on the recent cases.
"Personally, I think if we were going to have a major outbreak, we probably would have seen more cases by now," she said. "We're more than two weeks out from that and no other cases have been reported at this point."

Tao-ch'o, a Pure Land Buddhist monk who attracted
a large following, was also affected by an NDE episode:
- At the age of sixty-five, aged and sick, he felt himself to be on
his deathbed, and summoned his disciples and many followers
to recite the sutras. Thereupon T'an-luan appeared to him,
and in a voice heard by all present, commanded that Tao-ch'o
must continue to teach people for many years. It is said that
flowers fell from heaven, which were carefully preserved by
his followers. From that day on, Tao-ch'o became progressively
healthier, even regaining another set of teeth, and continued
to teach for almost two decades, living to the rare age
of eighty-three.
Land Buddhists, an activity which generated a body of written "evidence"
regarding the afterworld. The Ching-t'u-lun, a document
compiled shortly after Tao-ch'o's era, contains twenty NDE
accounts, half from monks and half from lay persons.
- In at least one case (that of Dharma-master Chu-Hung),
not only the dying person but all present were said to have
seen the body of the Buddha coming from the Pure Land to
welcome the dying monk....In other cases, devout laywomen
and laymen described visions of heavenly hosts on their deathbeds.
In yet another, a butcher first had a vision of hell,
whereupon he was terrified into chanting the name of Amida;
he then had a vision of Amida offering him the lotus seat, and
passed peacefully away.
Fascinating stuff huh?

Aircraft that are owned and operated by businesses are often depreciable for income tax purposes under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS). Under MACRS, taxpayers are allowed to accelerate the depreciation of assets by taking a greater percentage of the deductions during the first few years of the applicable recovery period. In certain cases, aircraft may not qualify under the MACRS system and must be depreciated under the less favorable Alternative Depreciation System (ADS).
Under ADS, depreciation is based on a straight-line method meaning that equal deductions are taken during each year of the applicable recovery period. In most cases, recovery periods under ADS are longer than recovery periods available under MACRS.
There a variety of factors that taxpayers must consider in determining if an aircraft may be depreciated, and if so, the correct depreciation method and recovery period that should be utilized. For example, aircraft used in commercial service (i.e. Part 135) are normally depreciated under MACRS over a seven year recovery period or under ADS using a twelve year recovery period.
Aircraft used for qualified business purposes, such as Part 91 business use flights, are generally depreciated under MACRS over a period of five years or by using ADS with a six year recovery period. There are certain uses of the aircraft, such as non-business flights, that may have an impact on the allowable depreciation deduction available in a given year. With this in mind, operators are encouraged to review the resources on this page and work with qualified aviation tax and legal counsel to determine the best approach for depreciating business aircraft.

Fresh Bear Track

Seen near North Fork Teton River. Left front, I think. Judging from size and features, I believe this is from a black bear, but regardless, it serves as a reminder that the Bob Marshall Wilderness is prime habitat for both black and grizzly bears, and both must be respected.

Three dead in US courthouse shooting
A shooting has erupted at a courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware, leaving three people dead, including a gunman, police say.
"I can confirm a shooting at 8am. Two civilians, females, were killed, two capital officers were shot. The gunman is dead inside the lobby," a police spokesman said at a news conference on Monday.
The incident took place in the New Castle county court building, which was evacuated.
The police spokesman said multiple shots were fired and that police were searching the building floor by floor.
"The scene is still very dynamic inside," he said.
The area around the courthouse was surrounded by police, ambulances and fire trucks, televised images of the scene showed.
The Wilmington police were not able to confirm the number of victims.

These things need to be considered once you start running decent distances or else serious leg injuries can await you,too. Of course, if you're running and you're a programmer, I suspect you've already looked into this and many of the other caveats about running.

Dodgers' Collins to manage in Japan
Farm director takes three-year deal with Orix Buffaloes
By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com
Collins, who managed the Houston Astros and California Angels for three years each, has always wanted to return to the dugout. He became the Dodgers' Minor League field coordinator in 2002 and was promoted to farm director two years ago.
A year ago, Collins was the apparent front-runner to be named Dodgers manager by general manager Paul DePodesta, but DePodesta was instead dismissed. New general manager Ned Colletti did not interview Collins before naming Grady Little manager, and Collins returned as farm director.
Collins, 57, has earned industry-wide praise for his role in reviving the Dodgers' farm system, which is now considered one of the most productive in the game. But a field manager job in Japan would pay a considerably higher salary than that earned by a farm director for a Major League team.
There are three other Americans managing in Japan: former Dodgers player and Major League manager Bobby Valentine, Trey Hillman and Marty Brown.

The nonprofit was founded in 1971 with the mission to train people to better feed themselves while conserving resources. The book, published in 1974, was among the first to launch eco-friendly and sustainable-growing techniques and espoused the "grow biointensive" method — small-scale, high-yield, all-organic gardening that uses minimal resources.
The method involves a fair amount of planning and math, but House assures those who may be intimidated. "John has compiled all the information and data from 40 years of research into the Master Charts (a section found in the book). If you want to plant tomatoes, you go to the Master Charts and then to the line of the tomatoes," he said.
The class will demonstrate to students how to use the charts to deduce the correct gardening procedure such as the amount of seed for their designated space, the number of flats needed or when to sow and transplant.
"It looks like a lot of information and this class will be how to utilize this information to the best of your advantage," House said.
He will also be teaching Seed Collection and Saving, a class that will help "people feel more in control of their food supply by knowing where their food and seed comes from."
The first hour will be a discussion of the "grow biointensive" method and the second half will have threshing demonstrations of amaranth and quinoa and seed-saving techniques on tomatoes.
"You can get tens of thousands of seeds from an amaranth plant," House explained as he discussed the ways seed saving can cut down costs by producing new plants for the garden and preserving a favorite plant that may not be available in future years.
"It's also a community-building process. People are sharing their seeds and starting seed-saving clubs and booths at farmers market. You are getting access to different seed varieties that you normally wouldn't have otherwise," he noted.
Despite an information-saturated world where people can find information from YouTube and various books, House emphasizes the experiential learning of his course: "The main advantages will be the hands-on experience and the chance to see more examples of different demonstrations. It is learning about the experience versus just staring at a computer screen."
House realized his interest in gardening in a circuitous fashion. He grew up in Rochester, N.Y., where his father's gardening hobby engaged him as a child. But the childhood interest did not keep House pinned down as he tried out careers as a rare-book dealer, a commercial salmon fisherman in Alaska, and a search-and-rescue swimmer in the U.S. Coast Guard.
In his late 30s, he moved back to New York where he became involved in the grow-local movement.
"I was living in Canandaigua and a lot of the chain stores had come down and the downtown was suffering," he remembered.
House led the effort to bring a farmers market to the town that revitalized the area.
"For me it was about bringing people together and creating the connections between the local community," he said. This ultimately led to his rediscovery of gardening.
Fifteen years ago, House began gardening again and volunteering at farmers markets. "I apprenticed myself to organic farms and eventually had my own farm."
Now at 48, he has found his "labor of love" holding the position at Ecology Action for four years now.
Through his courses, he has encountered more people who want to live more sustainably. "People who come to the courses are mostly beginning gardeners, backyard people who are just starting out, or those who are familiar with John Jeavons' book and want to learn more about making sustainable decisions," he said.
As for House himself, he is trying to live more aligned with the closed-system, holistic thinking espoused in the "grow biointensive" method. His eclectic career path is now pushing him towards starting a bee-keeping business.
"The pollinators are in trouble with the pesticide and the environment. For me, it's partly one more dimension of that whole system thinking.

Dodgers' Nolasco shuts down Red Sox
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers and Red Sox each say last August's blockbuster deal worked out for both clubs.
Carl Crawford, Adrian Gonzalez, Nick Punto and Josh Beckett are thrilled to be in Los Angeles, while Boston is back among the elite teams in the American League.Full Game Coverage
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers and Red Sox each say last August's blockbuster deal worked out for both clubs.
Carl Crawford, Adrian Gonzalez, Nick Punto and Josh Beckett are thrilled to be in Los Angeles, while Boston is back among the elite teams in the American League.Full Game Coverage
The Dodgers, though, won the battle of first-place teams on Friday night at Dodger Stadium, 2-0, as Hanley Ramirez homered, Crawford had two hits and two stolen bases and Ricky Nolasco dominated for eight innings.
The Dodgers have won four straight games, are 19-3 this month, 29-5 in the second half, 46-10 since June 22 and 12-6 in Interleague Play this season. Los Angeles is 24 games over .500 and leads the National League West by 10 1/2 games, both season highs.
"We've been playing great, and we're just staying focused, no matter who the opponent is," said Nolasco, who reached 10 wins for the sixth straight season. "Against good teams, we're playing well. Everybody is just doing their job and we have great balance throughout the whole team."
It begins with pitching.
The Dodgers lead the Major Leagues with 18 shutouts. The starting rotation has not allowed a run in its past 23 innings. Over the last 27 games since July 26, Dodgers starters are 18-2 with a 1.77 ERA and sevens starts with no earned runs allowed.
"I think with quality pitching, as you get deeper into the season, those guys start dominating," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "We've continued to pitch well."
Of course, it All-Starts with Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke. Hyun-Jin Ryu has also been solid throughout his rookie season, and Nolasco has only added to the Dodgers' pitching riches. He's won his past four decisions and is 4-1 in nine starts with the Dodgers, who acquired him from the Marlins in early July.
"You just want to keep it going," Nolasco said. "You want to keep that competitiveness going between each other and keep trying to go out there and throw up zeros."
Ramirez, a former Red Sox prospect who debuted with Boston in 2005, lined a two-run shot to right-center in the fourth inning off John Lackey, who was perfect his first time through the Dodgers' lineup and limited L.A. to three hits over eight innings.
"He was trying to quick-pitch me, and I got my foot down and I made a good swing and got lucky the ball went out," said Ramirez, hitting .371 with four doubles, two homers and seven RBIs in nine Interleague games this season. "When you face a guy like him, you've got to stay tough and keep fighting until a mistake happens. We knew that it wasn't going to be easy against him."
Crawford started the inning with a leadoff single and stole second. Ramirez crushed his 13th home run of the season on the next pitch.
Crawford, outspoken about his desire to beat the Red Sox after two difficult seasons in Boston, singled and stole second again in the sixth. Over his past six games, the outfielder is 8-for-24 (.333) with three doubles and four RBIs. It was Crawford's first game with two stolen bases since April 6.
"I think any time you see guys get traded from one team to another, they always want to play well," Mattingly said. "I think that's just naturally there."
Nolasco didn't have much trouble against a Boston club that leads the Majors in scoring. He struck out six, walked none and gave up only two hits in his deepest outing with the Dodgers. Nolasco hit Daniel Nava with a pitch with one out in the fifth inning and gave up a single to Stephen Drew, but Will Middlebrooks' grounder to third baseman Juan Uribe started a double play that got the right-hander out of his only jam of the night.
"We know it was a big series against a great team and if you don't bring your game these guys can knock you around pretty good," Nolasco said. "I was just trying to stay focused and trying to keep a good tempo going."
Nolasco retired the last 10 batters he faced and said he was "just trying to match" Lackey as the game progressed.
"All the way around, this was a well pitched game on both sides," said Red Sox manager John Farrell.
Kenley Jansen entered in the ninth and nailed down his 22nd save, striking out two in a 1-2-3 inning. Jansen has converted 15 consecutive saves sine July 3, posting a 1.14 ERA in that span.
