My main goal in teaching has always been to help students learn on their own with the teacher serving as a resource. A teacher in this type of situation would serve as a facilitator who assists or guides when needed. I believe this approach gives students an opportunity to become responsible for their own learning. I also believe in using a variety of teaching styles to meet the individual needs of learners. This means that the teacher has to be flexible and willing to go the extra mile to keep up with current research in education regarding teaching methods, content, and learning styles.
The students should be involved in creating projects that are worthwhile (relevant to their lives), complex, and interdisciplinary. This helps them experience the relationship between subject areas as well as understand how each area can be used in solving real world problems.
Even though I have stated many of my beliefs, I find that through my experiences I grow and change. I am always telling my students "It's OK to make mistakes--you are learning." The same goes for me--I am still learning too!
A life-long learner,
Dr. Patti Wann

It is an iconic scene: Jesus being baptized in the Jordan, with a heavenly voice declaring him "my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased," while the Holy Spirit descends from above as a dove. But what if an eagle had come down on Jesus instead and perched on his shoulder? What if a more adequate translation of Mk 1:11 were, "You are my beloved son; I have adopted you"? In a fascinating tour de force, Michael Peppard takes his readers back into the world of the New Testament, where none of these questions would sound odd or out of place as they do today.
The council of Nicaea (325 C.E.) had not yet spoken, authoritatively condemning any "adoptionist" heresy. Platonism with its static divisions between humanity and divinity, metaphysical essence ("begotten") and historically situated status ("made/adopted") was not yet the all-defining thought system. And the "Son of God" represented a surprisingly dynamic, multivalent concept that could embrace both divine adoption and begetting, including a wide range of other elements like divine election, genealogy, virgin birth, creation and pre-existence in varying configurations. It was not the issue of orthodoxy that loomed large when Mark, as the first among the Gospel writers ventured into the uncharted territory of transforming Paul's message about Christ as the divine son into a narrative.
What loomed large was the massive and oppressive presence of that other divine father who had just destroyed Jerusalem and subdued the rebellious Judaea with brutal force, claiming that all of humanity was under his paternal power and jurisdiction (patria potestas): the Roman emperor.
Drawing on recent studies by historians of the ancient world like Ittai Gradel, Clifford Ando and Monika Bernett, Peppard dispels some persistent misconceptions among New Testament scholars, who have traditionally underestimated the significance of imperial ideology and played down the divinity attributed to the Roman emperor. In Roman Palestine, as in all other parts of the Roman world, the emperor was omnipresent as universal God, universal Father (pater patriae) and Son of God (divi filius) through temples, images, coins and public manifestations of all sorts—and he was worshiped as such in multiple ways. Imperial divine fatherhood and imperial divine sonship both played a pivotal role as empire-wide unifying power constructs that could draw on the social microcosm of the existing patriarchal household structure. As the emperor morphed into the divine super-father of the largest family on earth (pater patriae), the designation of his successor through an adoption as "son" became a crucial issue of power and political stability.
According to Peppard this has direct implications for the opening scene of Mark's Gospel. If the heavenly father in Mk 1:11 in all likelihood pronounces a divine adoption formula, this implies by no means a "low" Christology devoid of divine essence, nor a sort of heretic Proto-Arianism; rather it competes with the "highest" possible and most potent divine adoption story in place, the transfer of world power to Caesar's divine son. Mark frames the beginning of the Jesus narrative as the story of an adopted divine son who is going to be a counter-emperor.
Peppard makes very clear that such an act of "colonial mimicry" does not simply duplicate Roman colonial ideology but has strongly resistant traits. The "son" who is adopted to all-powerful divinity in Mark 1 will in the end be executed for his insubordination against Roman law and order, sharing the lot of the conquered rather than the glory of the conquerors. The dove represents weakness, vulnerability and peace in contrast to the violent majesty of the warlike eagle, which in Roman imagination was a common accessory whenever a new power figure appeared on the stage of history.
Furthermore, the sonship embodied by Jesus, especially in the Pauline matrix, rejects all exclusivity. It integrates the universal community of Jesus-followers, to use nonhierarchical and noncompetitive terms, into a horizontal family of sisters, brothers and mothers, where "fathers" have no more role to play, including the imperial divine father. At the same time, the paternal "inheritance" is no longer a matter of individual privilege and power but a communally shared good. All this marks a striking dissonance with the most basic ground rules of the Roman patriarchal and imperial order that consequently turned Christians into martyrs.
Peppard has written a stimulating and eminently readable book that courageously cuts through established theological conventions and presents new scholarship in a careful and nuanced way without ever becoming tedious. He uses the tools of his trade to reconstruct the rich reservoir of meaning-making encapsulated in New Testament and early Christian traditions, enabling us to see the "son of God" with entirely new eyes. In an exemplary way, this book shows that a fruitful encounter between critical biblical scholarship and dogmatic tradition does not lead to skepticism but instead breathes fresh air into those compartments of Christian doctrine where rethinking and reimagining, instead of reciting old formulas, is urgently needed. Far from relativizing the "son of god," Peppard demonstrates where the present-day relevance and true challenge of this term might be located: not in metaphysics but in concrete social models for how the human family can truly become humane.

Personal Talk
FASHION IS PART OF MY LIFE...Saturday, February 05, 2011
Hello guys. Did you have a lovely day? :)
Hajimemashite (Nice to meet you)! I am AikA. I am living in WA now but am originally from Japan. And I am TOTALLY crazy for FASHION!!!!
YAY!!! My first fashion blog has just started!!
I have looked for this moment for such a long time~!
I am very excited that I could finally share lots of things I love with you. Clothings, shoes, bags, accessories...etc, and MORE!!!!
I know some of you who visited my blog might be interested in fashion, or might be not.
But, I have one question for both of you. What does fashion mean to you?
I can easily give my answers and have many of them to this question.
"Because fashion has changed my life to a brilliant life."
"Because fashion always gives me energy and motivation."
"Because fashion makes me feel happy. "
I would also confidently say it could be my best friend, could be my lover, and could be "myself".
Plus, to me it's not just dressing fashionably or nicely. Without fashion, I cannot express who I am.
Sometimes, I really feel myself to want to be a rock girl. So, my outfit will be "rockish" .
A couple of days ago, my outfit was like a boyish style because I didn't wanna wear skirt or high heels or sort of things that represent "girl". Today, I dressed chic because I felt so.
Just like that. Fashion expresses my feelings, attitude, wills, and more of myself.
So what's yours???
♥ ☆ ♥ ☆ ♥ ☆ ♥ ☆ ♥
Hope you all will have a sweet and lovely day tmrw!!

Intel readies refresh for Core 2 Duo desktop line
TET offensive planned
Intel will next year extend its Core 2 Duo desktop processor line, rolling out four CPUs in the Q2 2007 timeframe, three with support for the 1,333MHz frontside bus speed due to be introduced with the 'Bearlake' chipset series, it has been claimed.
Having seen the chip giant's latest desktop roadmap, DailyTech reports Intel is preparing new Conroes clocked at 2.33GHz, 2.66GHz, 2.93GHz and 3GHz - respectively the E6650, E6750, E6800 and E6850. All four contain 4MB of shared L2 cache. The E6800 runs on a 1,066MHz FSB - the other three support the 1,333MHz bus speed.
The E6x50 chips also support Intel's Trusted Execution Technology (TET), which is the security infrastructure thus far known as 'LaGrande' and designed to make it harder for malware to tap right down into the system to sniff out sensitive data.
TET requires support at both the chipset and the processor level - handy, if you're a company that sells both. It allows apps to be run within their own sealed environment, inaccessible by other software.
Intel has already said it will ship is quad-core Core 2 Quad processor line in Q1 2007, led by the 2.4GHz Q6600. ®

Some service companies are demons about keeping costs down. While there's a lot to be said for running lean, efficient operations, there are times when added cost is justified. The type of service vehicle may be one of those times.
Most service companies buy full size cargo vans. A growing number are purchasing mini-vans. Others use pick-ups in one configuration or another. These may be the most practical vehicle configurations, but they may not be the best.
Before buying a new vehicle, compare the cost of a cube van. Cubes can be expensive, since many are custom made. However, their greater cargo area also means the sides are larger mobile billboards. They stick out more in traffic. The more a vehicle sticks out, the more likely it is to get noticed. The more likely it is that the billboard will get read and an impression will be formed. The more impressions that are formed, the greater the likelihood is that the consumer will recognize your name and call you for your products and/or services.
Even if there's no operational reason for anything larger than a cargo van, a cube makes sense from a marketing perspective. Compare the cost of a regular cargo van with the cost of the cube. Break it down to the monthly cost difference. This is the cost of the added exposure the cube will bring. You might be surprised how minor the difference, especially when you compare it with many of the alternative forms of advertising.

CHICAGO — Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews got another victory on Friday. The trophy he wants the most is still up for grabs.
Toews won the Frank J. Selke award, given to the NHL's best defensive forward. He emerged from a trio of finalists that included fellow centers Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins and Pavel Datsyuk of the Detroit Red Wings.
Toews helped the Blackhawks advance past Datsyuk and the Red Wings in the second round of the playoffs. He is currently competing against Bergeron and the Bruins in the Stanley Cup finals.
The Blackhawks lead the series 1-0, with Game 2 scheduled for Saturday night in Chicago.
"To be able to go head to head with guys like that in the playoffs, and to know them from the past, you understand how much they mean to their teams and how much they contribute offensively and defensively," Toews said. "To be talked about in the same sentence and compared to those guys is absolutely amazing. So it's a special award to win."
The 25-year-old Toews was third in the NHL with a plus-28 rating in 47 games in the regular season, helping Chicago post the most points in the NHL. He also was a finalist for the Selke after the 2010-11 season.
Bergeron, who won the Selke Trophy last year, earned a different honor this season. He was awarded the King Clancy Memorial Trophy for leadership and humanitarian contributions to the community.
Also Friday, Paul MacLean of the Ottawa Senators won the Jack Adams Award, given to the NHL's coach of the year. The top executive honor went to Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Ray Shero. The Lady Byng trophy for the NHL's most sportsmanlike player was given to Tampa Bay Lightning forward Martin St. Louis for the third time in four seasons.
"I don't think you start the season thinking you're going to win the Lady Byng, but all in all, you just try to push the envelope without getting caught, I guess," St. Louis said. "You play hard and stay out of the box, but at the same time by no means you're going through the season trying to accomplish that."
MacLean, a finalist for the second straight year, led Ottawa to the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference while overcoming the prolonged absences of several key players. Chicago's Joel Quenneville and Bruce Boudreau of the Anaheim Ducks also were up for the award.
"It was a very proud day for myself, my family and the Ottawa Senators organization and what we've gone through. We're pretty pleased here today," MacLean said.
One of MacLean's players, forward Daniel Alfredsson, was the winner of the Mark Messier Leadership Award, and Detroit forward Henrik Zetterberg was honored with the NHL Foundation Player Award for community service.
Minnesota Wild goalie Josh Harding won the NHL's Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy. The award is presented to "the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey."
Harding was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis last fall and missed 33 games as he underwent treatment. On April 22, he was activated from the injured list and returned to the Wild lineup.
"I feel better than ever," Harding said. "I just won an NHL award. It's something that I never thought I'd do in my life ever, and it happened with MS.
"I played five playoff games. I didn't know if I'd ever play a playoff game, and that came with MS. I want people to believe that goals are possible. Just because you get a label of a disease doesn't mean you're not going to complete your goals. That's what I hope people take out of this."
Harding faced the condition head on, and never considered giving up his hockey career.
"There were some ups and downs," he said Friday. "Some days it would have been easy to throw in the towel. . But I've been playing hockey since I was 4. I'm not going to let something come in the way.
"For everybody that would be in my situation, I think you'd find a way to make it work."

The Durick Library's course reserve service is for Saint Michael's faculty who wish to place required course materials on reserve for their students. Most often these materials are in high demand by many students for a short period of time, and so must be loaned for only a few hours. Reserves also allow a faculty member to provide students with controlled access to items not in the Library's own collection, such as personal copies. Since circulation records are confidential by law, faculty may not find out who has checked out a reserve item.
Before materials are placed on reserve, their use must adhere to the Saint Michael's College Copyright Policy. The library also uses the American Library Association's Model Policy Concerning College and University Photocopying for Classroom and Library Reserve Use as a guideline for providing reserve services.
For information regarding procedures, see the Course Reserves FAQ.

A critical component of science is transmitting the results of scientific research to the greater scientific community. If the results of research are not made available to other scientists, they never enter into the great debate, and the research may as well never have been conducted. For this reason, it is important to learn how to communicate research to other scientists, and to evaluate the research of others. Research presentations are one of the major avenues scientists use to transmit information (publication in peer-reviewed journals is another).
We have two goals in EEB 335. First, you should learn how to extract critical information from a research seminar. Second, you should learn the characteristics that distinguish a good seminar from a bad seminar. To accomplish these goals, you will attend one seminar each week. You will then write up a short summary of the seminar, and discuss the seminar in discussion the following week.

Several weeks ago, I had what may be one of the most powerful epiphanies of my life. It came upon me suddenly, but since then, not a day has gone by where I haven't thought about it. I'm not sure I will ever not think about it again.
I am a worrier. I've also attributed this to my depression and anxiety. It has gotten better as I've treated those issues, but never entirely gone away. I worry. It's what I do.
After an all-clear from my father, I took my daughters to see my grandfather for the first time in several months. It was a big deal. Suffering from leukemia, his guest list is strictly monitored and children under 18 had, until now, been forbidden. He was thrilled to see them. I was thrilled to see him see them.
But after I left, I couldn't stop worrying. Though Jessica's nose was dry, it had been running earlier. What if she got too close to him? What if he got sick and wasn't strong enough to fight off the infection? What if…what if…what if…I couldn't stop worrying.
So I brought the question to my sister. She reassured me and said all the right things.
Still, I worried.
So I asked my aunt. I confessed my worries and fears. She reassured me and said all the right things.
Still, I worried.
I called my husband. I poured my heart out to him. He reassured me and said all the right things.
Still, I worried.
I worried in spite of all those words that people spoke. I kept looking for someone else to take my worries to, convinced that they would be able to say something that would ease my worry. But nothing worked. No one said the right thing.
That's when it occurred to me. There was only one person that I could bring this…any…worry to and get an answer that would take my worry away. There was only one person that I could speak to that could help me find peace. That person was God.
Those of you who know me know that though I consider myself a Catholic, and raise my children as such, I don't often wear my religious heart on my sleeve, or think about the world from a spiritual perspective. So this epiphany…this was a very big deal for me.
I prayed. Instead of looking for someone to take my worries to, I took them to the Lord. And for the first time in my life, I felt peace.
It had little to do with His answer, I found. But my peace came from the telling. I turned to Him. I should always turn to Him.
Perhaps there's something for you in this epiphany.
If nothing else, will you keep my Poppy in your thoughts and prayers? He…I…we…would all appreciate it.

disease affects 1 in 13 school-aged children. Asthma is the leading
cause of school absenteeism due to chronic illness. Over 14 million
school days are missed due to asthma each year.

The Environmental Protection Agency's Mold Web Course
Mold is a common environmental trigger for asthma. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a free Mold Web Course that features information on mold prevention and remediation. The course is based on the EPA voluntary guidance document Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings and includes an "Image Library" of mold and moisture photos that may be used for presentations and educational purposes. The target audience is environmental and public health professionals, but anyone can learn from the course.

It takes a month and many have said it helps greatly. I wish I had. But if you haven't the time, money or inclination, then be assured you can find a 2.0 million won position in Korea if you're not picky about where you go. Korea's a small country, so anywhere is a couple of hours from somewhere (like foreign-friendly Busan or Seoul). I assume you have a degree. One of my favourite job postings said "degree required but not necessary." If you don't have a degree, then go to China or Indonesia instead. Legally you need a degree in Korea and an employer willing to overlook the fact is VERY likely to ignore your contract and underpay you, provide sub-standard living and working conditions and there'd be nothing you can do about it. There are many honorable Korean employers, but you must take steps to avoid the several bad apples in this barrel.

This specific book - paperback, small, but so full of pages - was what my mother bought me when we first moved overseas. All of our belongings were still being shipped, and were not expected to arrive for another couple of months. I had already read through all of the books I had packed in my suitcase, and through the handful of books that we had mailed to ourselves. I can recall sitting on the hood of the lemon lot car my father had bought, watching my siblings at soccer practice, bored out of my skull. My mom came over with a BX bag and handed it to me. Twelve year old me was skeptical, but I took it, and this book was inside. Even more skeptically, I opened it up. Harry Potter was the best fantasy story, little me had thought so defiantly. But I needed books. I needed to read. So I did that. I opened up to the first page, "In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit...." I haven't looked back.
"The Hobbit" is a great introduction to the genre of high fantasy. This was the first chapter book I ever read, and anyone with a love of magic and a soft spot in their heart for "the little guy" will love it just the same.
Complex in its simplicity, you will not want to miss this fantasy classic. This is a great book to read to little ones before bed, and to foster a love of reading.
Like so many dads this was one of the first books I read to my kids. A timeless classic.
This book is a great read for 6th graders, I am going to middle school and I really enjoyed this book. I am so excited to get a hold of the next book!!!!!!!!
Such a great story! Us humans love a good story, and this is one of the best!
Also, don't underestimate the age that can understand and enjoy this as a read-aloud. Even my 3 year old was captivated by parts of it!
We all love the coziness of home but what would you do if the adventure of a lifetime came knocking? Would you answer the door? Bilbo did and his tale will forever be remembered as one of the greatest stories ever written.
The Hobbit takes the reader on an unforgettable adventure through the land of Middle Earth. An excellent cast of characters, plot and adventure coupled with a great attention to detail make this one of the classics that must be read by all who enjoy literature.
Possibly the greatest book in the whole world. A must read.

Smash the bottles and burn the corks!
Chip the glasses and crack the plates,
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!"

Along with thirteen other dwarves and a famous wizard, Bilbo crosses the land to the east, to the Desolation of Smaug, and robs from the great dragon Smaug, who is guarding the long lost treasure.
A hobbit takes a trip..with thirteen dwarves and a wizard to a mountain far away to restore the treasure to the dwarves. But what is the treasure? Gold or undying fellowship?
Bilbo is an interesting hobbit. He goes on an adventure to the lonely mountain. He goes with several dwarves and a wizard. Its a wonderful book to read.
Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who, at the beginning, never went on an adventure but that all changes when a wizard carves a sign on his door. Bilbo and 13 dwarves go on an expedition to claim back what was theirs. In this book there will be many ups and downs, spiders and goblins. Will they reclaim what was theirs?
Bilbo Baggins, is a hobbit that enjoys the simple beaties of life such as food and smoking. However one simple visit from Gandolf changes Bilbo's life forever. Join Bilbo, Thorin, the Company of the Dwarves and Gandolf as they set of to slay a dragon, and take back what belongs to the dwarves, the Lonely Mountain.
bilbo bagins goes in a amezing journey the one he will find something that later on will start a war.
A great book to read first if you want to read more of Tolkien's Works. This is Bilbo's story of Adventure with the dwarves to reclaim their treasure in the Lonely Mountain. The come across many a foe-but Bilbo learns he is quite brave and stronger than he originally thought.
"Bilbo Baggins, a respectable well-to -do hobbit lives comfortably in his hobbit hole until the day the wandering wizard Gandalf chooses him to take part in an adventure from which he may never return." (Novelist Review)

Other: How could anyone say that this book is a waste of time?!?!?! I've never regretted reading a Tolkien book! Not only is The Hobbit great, but so are all of the other books by Tolkien! If you liked The Hobbit you MUST read Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion!
Other: Don't listen to fearlessforever! This is not a time waster! It is one of the best books ever!
Other: The Hobbit is amazing!! It is definitely not a waste of time!

Bank of America's (NYSE:BAC) website was intermittently inaccessible to some users Tuesday, just hours after a group claiming allegiance to Islamic terrorism said it would target the bank in attacks this week.
Continue Reading Below
At least 50 users reported on Sitedown.co, a website for tracking website outages, that they could not access BankofAmerica.com in the late-morning and early afternoon hours. Tests by FOX Business on multiple computer networks showed the website as inaccessible at times and very slow to load at others. By 4:00 p.m. ET, the website appeared to load properly.
"We're aware of the reports of possible cyberattacks and we're monitoring our systems, which are fully operational," a BofA spokesperson told FOX Business. "We've reached out individually to a small number of customers who reported issues to us earlier in the day."
The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Cyber Fighters named America's second-largest bank by assets as a target in a fresh round of attacks on the U.S. banking sector in a posting late Monday evening. This type of intermittent outage is a hallmark of denial-of-service attacks that al-Qassam favored in attacks in September and October that disrupted the websites of several big banks, including BofA. These attacks are fairly rudimentary in nature in that they essentially flood a website with requests until the server is unable to properly serve legitimate traffic.

J.P. Morgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB), SunTrust Banks (NYSE:STI) and PNC Financial (NYSE:PNC) were also threatened by al-Qassam.

Guidelines For Requesting Approval For A Strategic Plan Under The Community Reinvestment Act
The OCC now supervises federal savings associations (FSA). References to regulatory citations, reporting requirements, or other guidance for FSAs contained in this document may have changed. Please see OCC: OTS Integration for the latest information on rule, reporting and guidance changes.
Background and Purpose
These guidelines apply to any type of institution that is subject to the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") and that wishes to request that it be evaluated on the basis of a strategic plan. These guidelines also apply to requests for approval to amend a strategic plan.
The strategic plan evaluation option in the regulation provides an institution with the opportunity to tailor its CRA objectives to the needs of its community and to its own capacities, business strategies and expertise. Therefore, not all of the factors described in the regulation would necessarily apply to each strategic plan. An institution has a great deal of latitude in constructing a strategic plan, but it is expected that public participation in development of the plan will provide an institution access to the fullest possible information about the needs of its community and how those needs might be met.
The required contents of a strategic plan and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's (OCC) criteria for evaluating a strategic plan are specified in the OCC's CRA regulation, 12 CFR 25.27. These guidelines do not supplant the regulation; rather, they are intended to serve as guidance in the preparation of a strategic plan and submission of the plan to the OCC for approval. These guidelines specify the types of information that a national bank will generally need to submit in requesting that it be evaluated on the basis of a strategic plan. In addition to the items listed in the guidelines, a national bank may submit any other information that it may consider relevant to the OCC's decision.
Performance context. A proposed strategic plan will be evaluated in the context of the information described generally in the OCC's CRA regulation, 12 CFR 25.21(b). This information could include, as appropriate: demographic data on median income and household income; housing costs; lending, investment and service opportunities in the institution's assessment area(s); the institution's product offerings and business strategy; institutional capacity and constraints (including the institution's size and financial condition, and economic climate); past performance of the institution; and relevant information from the institution's public file. The agencies will not expect the institution to supply more information regarding the performance context than it would normally develop to prepare a business plan or to identify potential customers, including low- and moderate-income individuals or geographies in its assessment area(s). Information submitted by the institution will be considered along with information from community, government, civic and other sources.
Public comments. Public comment is important to, but not determinative of, the decision on strategic plan approval. The public comments will be reviewed by the OCC to determine whether the national bank offered the opportunity for community input into the plan, to assess the degree of support for the institution's goals, and to evaluate the appropriateness of those goals. The agency will, if necessary, consider other information regarding the performance context in addition to the public comments and information submitted by the institution.
Election of alternative assessment method. A national bank may elect in its strategic plan, that if it fails to meet substantially the plan goals for a satisfactory rating, its CRA performance will be evaluated under the (1) lending, investment and service tests, (2) community development test or (3) small-institution performance standards, whichever may be appropriate. If such an election is not made in the strategic plan, the national bank will be evaluated only under the strategic plan, and failure to meet substantially the goals set forth for satisfactory performance will result in assignment of a rating of "needs to improve" or "substantial noncompliance."
Preparation and Submission of a Proposed Strategic Plan
An institution's proposed strategic plan, along with all requested information, should be submitted in writing to the federal regulatory agency that exercises primary supervisory authority with respect to that institution. If a proposed plan covers more than one affiliated institution, a copy of the entire plan should be submitted to each federal bank regulatory agency that has primary supervisory responsibility for one or more institutions covered by the plan. If a proposed strategic plan is being submitted on behalf of more than one institution, each institution must receive the approval of its own supervisory agency for those portions of the plan relating to that institution's CRA responsibilities.
A proposed strategic plan that covers one or more national banks should be submitted to the appropriate office designated by the OCC. For this purpose, the appropriate office shall be the Compliance Management Department. Inquiries concerning the preparation of a strategic plan should also be directed to that office at the following address:
Deputy Comptroller for Compliance Management
The OCC may require the national bank to submit any additional statements or information that it deems necessary. It is the institution's responsibility to submit the information necessary to demonstrate that the proposed strategic plan meets the criteria for approval.
Each request for approval of a proposed strategic plan should name a contact person at the national bank. Strategic plans that include more than one national bank affiliate may designate a single contact person for all the covered institutions; or separate contacts for one or more of the national bank affiliates. Upon receipt, Compliance Management will review the proposed strategic plan and related material to determine if the request is complete. A request for approval of a strategic plan will be deemed to be complete when all relevant information identified in these guidelines has been received by the OCC. If the request is deemed to be incomplete, the OCC will notify the requesting institution(s) and a request for additional information will be sent to the named contact person. If any information initially furnished with the request changes significantly during the processing of that request, the national bank should communicate those changes promptly to Compliance Management.
Each request for approval of a proposed strategic plan should also contain a proposed effective date. The proposed effective date should be at least 90 days after the request is submitted to the OCC. The national bank will not be evaluated under a strategic plan until the institution has been operating under an approved and effective plan for at least one year.
Notification of Decision
The OCC will act upon a national bank's request for approval of its proposed strategic plan within 60 calendar days after the agency receives the complete plan, unless the agency extends the review period for good cause. The OCC will notify the institution of any extension of the review period, the reason for the extension and the date by which the agency expects to act upon the request. If the OCC fails to act within this time period, the proposed plan will be deemed approved.
If a strategic plan covering multiple institutions must be approved by more than one regulatory agency, each agency will issue a decision approving or denying the request with respect to the institution(s) for which that agency has primary supervisory responsibility.
Under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA")(5 U.S.C. 552), a request for approval of a proposed strategic plan that is submitted to the OCC is a public document and is available to the public upon request. The OCC's decision approving or denying a proposed strategic plan may also be available to the public under the FOIA.
A national bank may request confidential treatment for information that would be exempt from public disclosure under the FOIA. For example, if the requesting national bank is of the opinion that disclosure of commercial or financial information would likely result in substantial harm to its competitive position or that of its affiliates, or that disclosure of information of a personal nature would result in a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, confidential treatment of such information may be requested. This request for confidential treatment must be submitted in writing concurrently with the filing of the strategic plan and must discuss in detail the justification for confidential treatment. Justification must be provided for each item or category of information for which confidential treatment is requested. The institution's request for confidentiality should explain the harm that would result from public release of the information.
Information for which confidential treatment is sought should be: (1) segregated from the other information that is submitted; (2) specifically identified in the non-confidential portion of the strategic plan (by reference to the confidential section), and; (3) labeled "Confidential." The requesting national bank should follow this same procedure on confidentiality with regard to filing any supplemental information. The OCC will determine whether information labeled "Confidential" will be so regarded, and will advise the requesting national bank of any decision to make information labeled "Confidential" available to the public.
A national bank should follow the rules stated above when submitting confidential supervisory information, which includes any information contained in, related to or derived from reports of examination and inspection, or confidential operating and condition reports.
Requested Information
The requirements for a strategic plan are contained in the OCC's CRA regulation, 12 CFR 25.27. A national bank requesting approval for a strategic plan will generally need to submit:

We hit the trail again, to track down a second posse of powered-up classics
When we corralled several customized Corvettes for our initial roundup of restomods in our previous issue, they were on a comeback from a long, dusty trail. Even though these aging C1 gunslingers were well past their prime, they had found new life as classics with contemporary mechanicals.
This trend has become popular in recent years for a number of reasons. So it's no surprise that when we scouted the trail even further, we came across several other roadworthy examples to add to our outlaw gang of restomods.
The initial posse we formed contained only C1s, but these long riders are a mix of two eras, C1 and C2, with the latter focusing on '63 split-window coupes (which is fitting, considering this fall marks the 50th anniversary of that rare model's intro).
Of course, some purists contend that a collectible should be brought back to original, and we certainly appreciate that sentiment. But other factors can militate in favor of doing a restomod, including the condition of the car, its history (or lack thereof), and the availability of authentic restoration parts. And while some try to make a newer Corvette look like a classic, there's an enduring appeal in giving old iron a fresh life. After all, when the sun sets in the West, a grizzled gunfighter would surely rather be holding a Colt .45 in his hand than a flintlock. Ride 'em, cowboy!
Rodder's Restomod
A '59 that contradicts the company name--sort of
Mike Walker of Street Rods Only has been building Zoomies and the like for more than 20 years. So how does he reconcile his company name with the '59 Corvette shown here? Well, let's just call it a "Vetterod," and leave it at that. Walker clearly knows how to customize a car, whether it started life as a Corvette or a '41 Willys. (He has a '33 steel model in the works as well.)
After all, the basic techniques of rod building apply to all sorts of makes and models: mondo power, trick chassis, and custom paint. Like so many rod projects, this '59 Corvette mixes 'n' matches components. To wit, he stuffed a 505-horse LS7, fully dressed with chrome and polished pieces, into a custom chassis fitted with a C4 suspension, Aldan coilovers, and C5 brakes. The rest of the driveline comprises a 4L70E slushbox shifted by a Lokar unit, and linked with a custom driveshaft to a polished Dana 44 rearend.
Not one to leave anything untouched, Walker also enlarged the wheelwells for the EVOD rims, which are wrapped in Sumitomo performance rubber (245/35ZR19 front and 285/30ZR20 rear). Giving the car even more of a rodder's attitude, he also trimmed the interior with custom leather and billet pieces, plus a modern steering wheel and Classic Instruments gauges. Like so many other restomods we've covered, the plush driver seat was enlarged to accommodate a six-footer. And in case you didn't get the point from the dash panel, he repeated both the LS7 and horsepower metal insignias on the bumper, as an emphatic reminder of what's rumbling under the hood. Subtlety is no virtue when it comes to street rodding--or Vetterodding either.
Corvette Times Two
Proving that the second time around can be even better
Sometimes once just isn't enough. Just ask Roy French. After featuring his modernized '58 C1 in Part 1 of our Restomod Roundup, we tracked down his second one--a '63 Split Window.
Just as some classic movies are even better as a sequel, so too is French's Sting Ray. The story begins in 2007, when he found the dilapidated coupe back east in a barn. The car was barely driveable, and the cosmetics were in need of serious attention. About three years' worth in all, which included tracking down some talented craftsmen who could bring back this classic from the edge of destruction.
French started with Newman Car Creations, as he did with his C1, to install a C4 suspension that mates with the Sting Ray body and new LS drivetrain. Newman provided '85-'87 Corvette underpinnings and disc brakes, plus rack-and-pinion power steering and a Dana 44 differential.
Squeezing in the LS7 and 6L85E transmission dictated installing a dry-sump tank and Newman headers, along with fabricating exhaust pipes that would flow around the C4 suspension contours and exit with bigger tips. Speartech of Anderson, Indiana, supplied the ECM and harness for the LS7, as well as the programming for the trans.
Using a reproduction stock rim as a pattern, Larry Dove of EVOD Wheels expanded the widths to 7 inches for the front, and 9 inches out back. Even though the fins are slightly thicker than on an authentic piece, they look right with the bigger meats from Diamond Back Classic (215/70R15 front, 275/60R15 rear).
Interior upgrades include double-stitched leather upholstery, an ultrasuede headliner, and custom-fitted carpet over the speaker grilles. For easier ingress and egress, French also had a steering wheel made that matches the look of the original 17-incher, but features a 1-inch-smaller diameter.
The authentic '63 gauges had to be converted to read sensor inputs from the LS7 engine, and the plastic lenses were replaced with cut glass to prevent scratching and hazing. Also preserving the period look are the bezels and controls for the aftermarket HVAC and audio system. Turn on the power knob, though, and a touchscreen monitor for the Kenwood electronics emerges from the dash.
Lastly, French added a side mirror on the passenger side with an early-style long base. Of course, when he throttles up that LS7 drivetrain on those fat tires, he rarely has to think about what's behind him.
Crossbred Corvette
A hybrid C1--but certainly not in the Prius sense
Retired state trooper Danny Tackett knows a thing or two about an arresting presence--and it shows in his '59 Corvette. Actually it's far more than just that model year, as it incorporates design elements of the entire C1 span of models, and then some. What's remarkable is that he was able to do so in an integrated way, without resulting in a mishmash of disparate pieces.
How did he develop such an intriguing commingling? Mainly because he could, since he already had most of the parts on hand.
"It started as a challenge to see if I could build the '59 body and make the '54 front cap fit and look right," he reveals. Having built a lot of C1s, mostly customs, he had an idea of what might work. Even so, he ran into a few snags.
"The biggest challenge, after I got the '54 front glassed in and lined up, was cutting the fender coves to match the '59 door coves," he says. The tag area took some thought as well.
"I wanted to get rid of the '59 bumpers and use a '54 bumper," he says. Fortunately, the radius of the each trunk is the same, and he had an old '61 rear clip, so he removed the tag area, and the radius worked out nicely on the '59 body.
"I glassed in the exhaust holes, used a fiberglass sleeve to encase the pipe, and made it exit in the location of a '54," he explains. "But the hole was made larger to handle the 4-inch stainless tips."
Another almost unnoticed body mod is the fact that the '54s have a fender flare, and the '59s do not. "I fabbed up flares and molded them into the '59 body," he points out. The bumper holes were filled front and rear, and he lowered on a '56 hood that fit just right on the '54 cap.
Since Tackett only had a bare body to start with, he was free to add an assortment of chassis components as well, such as Fat Man fronts, Mustang II steering, Wilwood brakes, and a Ford 9-inch rear.
An LS1 sits snugly in the engine bay, and is finished with a chrome intake, custom covers (with original '55 V-script), and a Street and Performance accessory setup. One key to the LS1 swap was the McCleod flywheel, which allowed him to use a Centerforce 11-inch clutch in an old cast bellhousing.
In all, Tackett made more than 50 mods, drawing on skills taught by his father, a longtime body man. Obviously, Tackett and his crossbred Corvette didn't fall far from the tree.
Split Personality
A case in point for restomodding a '63 coupe
As noted in our intro, the decision to restore or restomod depends on several factors, including the condition of the Corvette. In the case of John Daniels, who has been permanently afflicted with a case of Corvette fever since first the split-window rolled out 50 years ago, the decision was fairly simple. His friend John Vestri of Vestris' Vettes, a firm that specializes in rescuing and resurrecting non-original donor Corvettes, found a '63 coupe in Arizona that had a good body and interior. But the original running gear was gone, and a Chevy 350 crate engine was in the engine bay, so the choice to restomod was basically a given.
Since Vestri had a backlog of work, he introduced Daniels to Mike Filion of Pro Design Hot Rods in Santa Ana, California (who built the "One Fine '59" C1 featured in our first installment). Both of these Pro Design Corvettes are primo examples of how to transform a tired collectible into a contemporary classic. The frame-off project began with gusseting and reinforcing the frame for far more power than the original had, and installing custom motor and transmission mounts for an '09 LS7 and 4L65E automatic with a Lokar shifter.
While the rearend is stock, both ends of the chassis were enhanced with control arms and monosprings from Vette Brakes & Products, plus Bilstein gas shocks at all four corners. Corvette America supplied a sport-ratio power-steering system, which is linked to a Flaming River column. All told, the goal was to get this '63 to perform as well as--or maybe even better than--Daniels' '91 ZR-1.
While all those upgrades were in the works, the body went to Media Resurfacing for stripping, getting rid of the original's notorious orange-peel paint. The door gaps, meanwhile, were evened out to an exacting 3?16-inch, a level of precision rarely seen on early Corvettes.
While the silver paint color looks similar to the hue from the factory in the early '60s, it's actually a custom PPG mix, expertly applied by Pro Design. Steve Vandemon gave the coil covers a custom airbrush graphic.
Pro Design installed a number of other trick treatments to give this split-window the latest and greatest in automotive technology. When all was said and done, Daniels had the Corvette he first lusted after as a teenager, and then some.

The Hilltoppers pounded out 14 hits, including four home runs for the second time this week, to beat the Bisons 9-3 in a non-conference match-up. The Bisons had 10 hits, including one home run.
The Bisons jumped on Hilltopper starter Ben Paxton in the first inning. M.L. Williams led off with a double to center. Tyler Wilson singled to left field to move M.L. Williams to third. Branden Cadavid hit a sacrifice fly to left which drove in Williams for a 1-0 lead.
In the third inning the Hilltoppers used two home runs, one with a man on base, to go ahead 3-1 against Lipscomb's Matt Bowling who was making his second start and 19th appearance of the season.
This Bisons responded in the bottom of the third inning. With two outs M.L. Williams singled to center. Tyler Wilson followed with a single that scored M.L. Williams, but Wilson got thrown out at third on the play after advancing to second on the throw.
Terrence Dayleg would reach on an error by M.L. Williams to start out the fourth and would later score on a home run to left field by Logan Robbins to give the Hilltoppers a 5-2 lead.
Kes Carter doubled down the left field line in the sixth inning, and would come around to score on a single through the right side by Jake Wells to make the score 6-2 in favor of the Hilltoppers.
Justin Sanders tried to spark the Lipscomb attack by belting his seventh home run of the season over the left center wall. Sanders has 35 RBI and leads the Bisons in home runs.
The Hilltoppers would add one more run in the seventh and two in the ninth thanks to RBIs by Dayleg and Cregar, who homered with a man on, to make the score 9-3.
The Bisons were unable to rally in the ninth as they fell to the Hilltoppers for the second time this season. The Bisons lost 10-6 at Bowling Green, Ky., April 1.
Wilson led the Bisons with three hits. M.L. Williams had two.
Western Kentucky used six pitchers. The Bisons used four.
Bowling went 3.2 innings allowing six hits and five runs, three earned. He struck out two. Josh Cotham pitched 1.1 innings. He gave up one hit and struck out one batter. Charles Williams threw three innings. He was touched for six hits and two runs, both earned. He struck out three.
Kyle Tognazzini closed out the game for the Bisons. He gave up one hit and two runs, both earned. He struck out one and walked one.
Bowling was credited with the loss, evening his record at 1-1.
The Bisons begin a home Atlantic Sun series with Belmont Friday at 6. The two teams will also meet Saturday at 6 and Sunday at 1. It will be a festive weekend with the members of the 1979 NAIA National Championship team receiving rings commemorating the achievement. Three former baseball players, Buddy Harston, Jeff Guy and Phil Stinson, will also be inducted into the Lipscomb Athletics Hall of Fame.
The Bisons slipped to 17-27 overall. Western Kentucky is 32-12.
This story was written by Tyler Craig, a student assistant on the Bisons A-Sun TV broadcasts.

I'm a celebrity, get me out of argh: The Jump puts contestants in the hospital
CHANNEL 4's The Jump has quickly become Britain's most dangerous reality TV show after putting a string of daredevil stars in hospital.
Three of the show's celebrity contestants were injured last week including Olympic legend Sir Steve Redgrave, who broke a bone in his hand and bruised his ribs in training.
Despite his injuries, Sir Steve, 51, progressed to tonight's semi-final after vowing to continue on the advice of his doctor wife, Ann, 53.
The five-time Olympic rowing champion decided not to get a cast on his arm so he could continue in the competition, which is filmed in Austria. "I had to make a decision if I was still going to be in the show or leave the show," he said. "If I put a plaster on I couldn't jump, so I decided not to have a plaster on."
Former model Melinda Messenger, 42, withdrew from the show last week on the advice of doctors after she hit her head during a bobsleigh run and suffered concussion.She was replaced by journalist Donal MacIntyre who, while attempting his first event, was left dazed on the ice after failing to jump into a moving bobsleigh.
The X Factor winner Joe McElderry, 22, replaced socialite Henry Conway, 31, on Tuesday after he left the competition with a broken hand.
Other injured stars include Flash Gordon actor Sam Jones, 59, who hurt his shoulder during training before filming began. Retired English cricketer Darren Gough, 43, suffered a cracked rib, torn hamstring and a sprained wrist. Gough said: "The Jump is the hardest experience of my life; pure adrenalin, lots of injuries."
In the show, the celebrities compete in different extreme winter sports, which include speed skating and a giant slalom course.
The two slowest contestants face the dreaded ski jump challenge, they can reach speeds of up to 60mph as they hurtle down the jump.
The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs, 23, left the competition last Monday after refusing to conquer the "totally petrifying" jump. One concerned viewer said: "The Jump has got to be one of the most dangerous shows for inexperienced celebrities. So risky."
A Channel 4 spokesman said the health and safety of those taking part in The Jump was the highest priority
Another wrote on Twitter: "What happens if someone gets seriously hurt?" Clinical psychologist Ron Bracey said: "It's difficult, because there is a social compulsion to continue doing it when their instincts might be saying 'Don't do it, it's too risky'.
"As well as physical danger, there is a social danger of backing out in terms of public awareness. It's an interesting mix sport stars who know about risk and others who have no idea what they are doing."
A Channel 4 spokesman said the health and safety of those taking part in The Jump was the highest priority: "All of the training and events, which have been planned in conjunction with experts in winter sports, have medical personnel on site and will use the necessary specialised safety equipment."
Contestants on The Jump are not the only reality TV stars to face injury while competing in a show.
Professional skater Mark Hanretty, 28, had to abandon celebrity partner Bonnie Langford, 49, during the final series of Dancing on Ice in December after injuring his shoulder.
TV presenter Rav Wilding, 36, was left "in a bad way" after he tore his hamstring on ITV's Splash!
Irish singer Una Foden, 32, broke her toe during the diving show and model Danielle Lloyd, 30, was left bruised after training in the pool.
Last night in Splash! former Boyzone star Keith Duffy revealed he had hurt his back in training before his dive. "All I can do is what my body will allow me to do," he said, "it has been a bad week."
About 2.6 million viewers tuned into the first episode of The Jump last Sunday. In the first 15 minutes the live show attracted an average 1.9 millon viewers. That rose to three million by the end. Despite mixed reviews, two million viewers tuned in to watch the second show the next night.
This compares with dwindling viewing figures for the second series of Splash! The opening show on January 4 had 4.96 million viewers, lower than any episode in the first series last year.
The Jump continues tonight at 9pm on Channel 4.

Officials with the Mississippi Bureau of Plant Industry are hopeful EPA will act quickly to approve their request for cotton growers to use the pesticide emamectin benzoate (Denim) for the control of beet armyworms and resistant tobacco budworms.
The request to EPA for an emergency exemption use permit, also known as a Section 18, was made early in the year in order to obtain approval in time to benefit those cotton producers battling high populations of the insects this summer.
Following on the heels of Mississippi, state officials in Texas submitted their request to EPA for a Section 18 exemption for Denim on March 5. The Texas Department of Agriculture says, it too submitted Section 18 requests earlier than usual to ensure adequate supplies of pesticides for the control of beet armyworm outbreaks.
Tommy McDaniel, branch director for the Mississippi Bureau of Plant Industry, says he also expects officials in Arkansas and Louisiana to follow Mississippi's lead. In Arkansas, State Plant Board Director Mike Thompson says, "We've had some interest expressed in obtaining a Section 18 for Denim, but no formal action has been taken as of yet."
The reason for Mississippi's exemption request, McDaniel says, is that beet armyworm outbreaks have caused serious yield losses in past years and that involvement in the boll weevil eradication effort increases the risk of serious outbreaks occurring.
"Should a severe beet armyworm outbreak occur in 2001, supplies of effective beet armyworm products, such as Tracer, Intrepid and Steward, may be depleted," McDaniel says. "Also, because avoiding repeated use of the same product is the key component of insecticide resistance management, producers need access to as many effective beet armyworm products as possible."
"As we enter the 2001 growing season, risk of beet armyworm outbreaks are a key concern for growers. Although the winter of 2000-2001 has been relatively severe, beet armyworm moths are strong fliers and can quickly re-invade from more southern areas even if no overwintered insects survived in the state," McDaniel says.
"Because of the high use of ULV malathion sprays and the adverse impact these have on beneficial insect populations, boll weevil eradication efforts are known to greatly exacerbate risks of beet armyworm outbreaks."
A severe outbreak of beet armyworms would, according to the state's exemption application, result in the treatment of at least 750,000 cotton acres statewide. In the event of an outbreak of resistant tobacco budworms, McDaniel estimates that a minimum of 400,000 acres of non-Bt cotton could require treatment.
"Should a severe beet armyworm outbreak occur in 2001, supplies of effective beet armyworm products…may be depleted."
"Resistance to synthetic pyrethroid insecticides was first detected in Mississippi tobacco budworm populations in 1985. Since then, levels of pyrethroid resistance have increased and researchers have documented high levels of resistance to the organophosphate and carbamate classes of insecticides as well.

Head coach George Husack, on match: "It was a good win for us. We played our game and got a solid win. It was also nice to see Robert Gallman return from injury and play well."
Husack, looking ahead: "Sunday is going to be a long day. UC San Diego has had some good wins this year so they are definitely going to be tough. They compete very well and Sacramento State is a much improved team having a strong season. We will have to be ready."
Husack, on seniors: "I am excited to celebrate Jan and Bobby's careers at Santa Clara. They have both accomplished a lot here and they have been leaders for us this entire year and throughout their careers."

Talk:Alice Springs
The Link to the "King's Canyon" directs to a U.S. national park..
To anonymous 184.108.40.206
Hi, thanks for your impressive work on Alice Springs. The Get Out section is rather exhaustive. I would suggest to move it or parts of it to a higher level (Northern Territory or Red center). What do you think ?
Tensaibuta 09:29, 3 September 2007 (EDT)
Hey, I think that's me - not sure but I think I did most of the editing there. I do have a login but I was lazy and didn't sign in. Thank you for the compliment! I couldn't believe how small the Alice Springs page was considering how much there is to do out here! It *is* a small town, but we're not *that* small.
It is a lot on the "get out" section, but the location out here is so remote that there is no other practical base of operations for accessing these areas - Maybe they should also be in the NT page too? But there's no way to get to the gorges from Darwin without stopping in Alice. It's sort of a big cluster of trails and roads that start here in Alice and only go to these gaps and gorges, little day trips, unless you're packing out for a week or so to go four wheel driving. Do you live out here?
what about a section on crime and safety in this areA?
driving after dark
i have never seen a car rental agreement which prohibits driving after dark. i'll remove this section from the article, unless anyone has evidence to the contrary. --Inas 21:07, 1 September 2008 (EDT)
Hi I'm Lex, in regards to all Northern Territory information I have added, you may notice that some of the text I am adding appears in another website eg travelnt.com, that is because I am the original author. --Lex 11:39, 19 September 2008 (EDT)

Glimpsed in Canton: Nicole Breves
Nicole Breves, 26, shines in a "sophisticated" style as she heads out for a night in her neighborhood of Canton. The Chesapeake Family Wellness Center chiropractic physical therapy assistant sports one of her favorite winter looks -- skinny jeans and boots -- in this case, black skinny Gap jeans and black leather Calvin Klein pointy-toe boots from Nordstrom. "Then, I like to add a little sparkle; a little pop." In this case, that was with a metallic gold Banana Republic sweater and a pair of black crystal chandelier earrings she's had for a while. She finished off her look with a black bangle from a vintage store in Philadelphia and a purple, black, blue, tan and white hobo from the Coach store.
