Use colour strategically. Colour in forms should be used with care - but used well it can really aid form completion and navigation. In general, yellow, for example, is a colour to avoid as much as possible - text set in yellow on a typical light background can be very hard to read - and people can find yellow aggressive.
Well designed forms result from an appreciation of the role they play in an organisations interaction with people. Organisations have a responsibility to minimise the burden forms impose when gathering information from people.

After work one August night in 1982 crashed at my dorm, woke up and registered for my senior year and drove home to my parents house. Got up Saturday morning, drove to the beach picking up three buddies on the way, they informed me there was a surfing contest at the inlet.
Drove to Sebastian and three seconds life changed. Dove off the jetty, bounced off the bottom of the Atlantic then slowly floated up face down behind the break.
Waited for my head to clear in order to roll over and swim for shore. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Realizing that I need to take a breath soon, raised my elbow (learning later about no triceps) as a swell went by, rolling me over on my back.
Took a breath, relax, no problem stars had gone away, head was clearing, now will just roll over and swim for shore, still didn't work. Then someone started towing me (there were 10,000 people there) and, then put me on a long board, then some sort of stretcher at the beach, into a 4 x 4 vehicle at the water line, to a gurney in the parking lot and into an ambulance.
Got discharged from rehab on Friday and on Saturday morning two of my nurses picked me up in a candy apple red T top Corvette and as we drove down A1A, the friend who bought my '71 Satellite pulled up to the stop sign right as we drove by. Another friend bought my bike, a ?76 750 Yamaha swing back with a driveshaft.
For most of the 80s had to drive to Orlando to get any help with the SCI then they built Sea Pines and met Dr. Miller. He wore scrubs and flip-flops and had an Atari game in his office, my kind of guy. Remember him telling me to shut up and listen and would learn something, always did.
Knew two things after breaking my neck 1) could not live with my parents and 2) could not count on Social Security. Didn't have a penny to my name, so after finishing my degree in Business and couldn't get a job, went back to school and getting a degree in computers.
From working full-time, Scuba diving, waterskiing, chess tournaments, traveling the country and living in hotels for months from Burbank to Birmingham, Nashua to Key West, am now paying the price. One of my biggest problems is accepting help and yesterday was admitted to hospice, is there any interest in what happened in between? Does my story interest anyone, is it any different than anyone else's? My demise is not imminent, just takes a little bit to get your head around the label.

The Voice of the Customer
There is opportunity in the automotive market—that's the tune sung to me over and over as I speak to North American suppliers, and I heard it once again when speaking to Robert Harant, program and engineering manager at Ultramet Industries. The firm operates 110- to 600-ton stamping presses out of a 40,000-sq.-ft. plant in Breslau, Ontario, Canada. Most of the work produced by its 35 employees (26 in the pressroom) supports Tier One automotive customers by providing seating, powertrain and frame components.
Responding to the market's call for transfer-stamping capacity, Ultramet immediately embarked on a project to overhaul a 600-ton Verson mechanical press (156- by 62-in. bed size) and mate it with a front-and-rear-mounted transfer system. After installing the transfer press late in 2012, Ultramet had its capacity filled within a few months when it took on a set of 10 dies used to stamp transmission flexplate cans. As a result of the immediate success of its initial foray into transfer stamping, Harant says that Ultramet management is considering adding an 800-ton transfer press in the not-too-distant future.
Less Scrap, Better Trimming via Transfer
The newly rebuilt transfer press joins an array of progressive-die presses in the Ultramet pressroom—one 600-ton press, two 500-ton presses, and 400-, 200- and 110-ton presses. Why the preference for transfer stamping for the flexplates? Harant explains.
"Stamping the flexplates requires forming a skirt, and it's better to trim all the around in a transfer die rather than pinch-trim with a progressive die. Also, according to analysis from the customer, eliminating the carrier strip required in a progressive die reduces scrap by about 15 percent."
Ultramet stamps 10 different sizes and styles of flexplates, from SAE J2340 steel 2.5 to 3.0 mm thick. Annual volumes range from 15,000 to 750,000, filled on weekly orders to 13-week forecasts."We maintain a week's worth of inventory, as many as 4000 stampings, for each part number," adds Harant.
A series of eight die stations cut blanks from coil stock, trim, form, pierce and restrike. We saw dimensional specs for one of the part numbers calling for an outside diameter of 281.9 mm (before nitriding), with tolerances of +0.1 mm and -0.2 mm. Formed skirt length is 4.16 mm ±0.4 mm. A series of 10 punched holes measure 10.5-mm dia. ±0.1 mm. The press runs at 20 strokes/min. Stamped flexplates ship out for nitriding, then head directly to the customer.
The Transfer System
…on the 600-ton Verson comes from Linear Transfer Automation Inc. It's fully servo controlled and stores as many as 128 recipes. Feed stroke measures 48 in., with an 18-in. clamp stroke per side and 15 in. of lift, all freely programmable. Maximum payload (parts and tooling): 300 lb.
"It's the only new piece of equipment in the entire line," says Harant of the transfer system, noting that the refurbished press has a new clutch and brake, new plumbing and a freshly remachined bolster and refurbished ram motor. The used servo-controlled coil line he added to the press line handles coils to 72-in. dia. to 40,000 lb.
Here are two of the 10 different styles of transmission flexplates stamped on Ultramet's transfer press. Tolerances are extremely tight, particularly for runout and offset.
Harant explains that while Linear Transfer initially developed the servo-transfer recipes for two of the 10 flexplate dies, "our operators were able to quickly and easily develop the remaining programs simply by modifying the provided recipes. All it took was one day of training conducted onsite to get our crew up to speed on the new transfer system."
To enable die changes via forklift, Linear Transfer included an auxiliary 80-in. lift axis with the transfer system, which enables the entire system to lift up and out of the . And, it allows Ultramet to run progressive dies in the press in a pinch.
"Since the transfer press was commissioned, we've called on it several times as a backup to our 600-ton progressive-die press," says Harant. "That flexibility adds tremendous value to the press. We expect that if and when we acquire an 800-ton transfer press that it will have the same inherent flexibility."
Ultramet outfitted the dies with sensors for die protection and tonnage monitoring; transfer tooling includes part-presence sensors. A Link Systems OmniLink 5100-MPC press control oversees operations.
Runout and Offsets Critical Quality Concerns
The press operator assumes quality-control responsibilities, including piece-part inspection performed every 30 min. In addition to the previously noted dimensional tolerances, Harant adds that runout and offset tolerances are critical.
Also a focal point, early in the process-development stage, was tool development. "Forming clearances required extra attention," Harant says, "to obtain the specified part diameter within the tolerance specifications. We went through three or four recuts of the form blocks and form rings on the first of the 10 dies, and then applied what we learned to the remaining dies to quicken their development."
Harant also notes that J2340 steel alloys (340XF and 550XF) are "difficult to stamp. Shear strength is particularly high."
Form tools are coated by Oerlikon Balzers. "We use their Alcrona Pro, Lumena and X.Cell coatings," Harant adds. Alcrona Pro, according to Oerlikon literature, is a "top-tier" AlCrN coating for punching and forming applications, and boasts a microhardness of 3200HV and a friction coefficient (dry) of 035. For extra hardness requirements, the Lumena TiAlN coating gets the call, rated to 3400 HV microhardness. X.Cell is at the lower end of the microhardness scale (2100 HV) with a friction coefficient of 0.5.
Keeler Weighs in on Forming the High-Strength Steels
I asked formability expert Stu Keeler (long-time contributor of MetalForming's Science of Forming column) to share some thoughts on forming 340XF and 550XF steels. He says:
"Compared to the lower strength 340XF steel, the higher strength 550XF steel has the following characteristics:
• "As yield stress increases, the amount of elastic stresses in the atomic structure increases as the sheetmetal forms. This in turn increases the amount of springback, which is the release of the elastic stresses back to their natural position. The amount of springback is proportional to the yield strength (stress). Therefore, the 550XF steel will exhibit about 60-percent more springback in bend angle, sidewall curl, twist, global shape change, etc. Increased springback correction or compensation can be difficult to achieve.
• "Higher strength steel will require stronger tooling to resist deflection, wear, etc. Increased tooling downtime could occur.
• "Energy required to form the steel is the area under the true stress-strain curves. Higher-strength steel will require more energy to form the same amount of deformation. The press might be capable of withstanding the load but not the need for more energy.
• "The increased energy to form the stamping will raise the temperature of the material—not uniformly but a function of the amount of strain at each location. Temperature variation in the stamping can change the viscosity of the lubricant and coefficient of friction. Amounts of deformation (especially stretch) can change in different areas of the stamping to change springback and even cause galling and scoring.
• "Workhardening capability (n-value) decreases with increase in yield strength. The n-value decrease with increasing yield stress can be shown on a curve. Higher strength means less allowable stretchability, as shown by the reduction in the height of the forming-limit curve.• "As yield strength increases total elongation decreases; this lessens the ability to bend the steel. Numerically, the ratio of punch radius to sheet thickness must increase as total elongation decreases, to avoid splits." MF

When it comes to chicken, ordering extra is rarely a bad idea. Able to be eaten hot or cold, any leftovers can be used in a variety of applications. From salad and sandwiches to soups and snacks, cold chicken has a use in every kitchen. When preparing chicken at home, there is an endless number of ways to get the job done. Sometimes that means digging into the back of the cupboard for a specialty appliance. Then, more than ever, it just makes sense to make two.
The Deni Vertical Rotisserie ($129.99) is capable of cooking two chickens at a time. But the countertop appliance is capable of so much more. Also included are a holding tower and six skewers. The 1,420-watt kitchen expander can also comfortably cook a 10-pound turkey or ham.
Measuring about a square foot in size, the rotisserie oven adds versatility to the kitchen, while being convenient and efficient. In addition to the three standard heating elements mounted on the interior, a center heating element helps food to cook from the inside out. This specialty appliance might just be convenient enough to earn its own spot on the countertop–there's always a use for extra chicken.

Senate floor debate is happening right now on the Buffett Rule, with a procedural vote expected later today. And Republican leaders have made clear how they will justify filibustering the common sense position that all multimillionaires should pay a higher tax rate than their secretaries.
With incoherent whining.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell led off the whine buffet by complaining about increasing debt ... then complaining about increased revenue that would reduce debt ... then complaining the Buffet Rule increase revenue enough.
We've got a $15 trillion debt. Some call it the most predictable crisis in history. We have the largest tax increase in the history of the country looming that will hit every single American who pays income taxes in less than 9 months.
Well, President Obama looked at the options in front of him, sat down with his political advisors, and he said, you know what, let's go with the poll-tested tax increase on investment and job creation that won't fix anything and won't pass anyway, instead of actually doing something about the debt and the deficit.
Of course, if you are believer in math, any "tax increase" is by definition doing something about the debt and deficit.
But since the Buffett Rule won't single-handedly balance the budget, Republicans are attacking it as meaningless, hoping you won't connect the dots that if this one tax increase on multimillionaires who live on investment income won't cut the deficit enough, then perhaps we should increase taxes the wealthy more broadly.
McConnell also repeatedly whined that the Buffett Rule is about President Obama's "idea of fairness" and "about imposing it on others."
Somehow it is Obama who has a strange foreign notion that it is unfair when multimillionaires pay lower tax rates than middle class workers, just because they get their income from investments and not labor.
Some could argue it is McConnell and his fellow conservative Republicans who have a strange foreign notion of fairness, since they believe that it is shockingly unfair to have an estate tax on multimillionaire heirs, despite its 90-year success at preventing the creation of an entrenched aristocracy that restricts income mobility.
It is McConnell who said in 2001 of estate tax reform proposals that would effect a few thousand mega-rich estates: "it simply is not fair, as a moral, political, or philosophical matter, to tax someone for dying ... passing on hard-earned assets to loved ones is a choice."
McConnell then made the ludicrous claim that Obama is resorting to a "political gimmick" because he is ignoring a glorious "bipartisan compromise" that's just laying around:
[There's] a growing bipartisan consensus not only about the existence of these problems but also about the proper solution. Just about everybody agrees that comprehensive tax reform would help turn this economy around ... The problem is, we've got a President who seems more interested in pitting people against each other than he is in actually doing what it takes to face these challenges head on and to solve them in a bipartisan manner
Do I even need to waste time debunking this lunacy? There is no "bipartisan consensus" on tax reform.
There is a Democratic Party that believes any deficit reduction package needs higher taxes on the wealthy to avoid unnecessary pain on the middle class and the poor. There is a Republican Party that believes we are heading for a fiscal apocalypse, but that is no reason to ask multimillionaires to cough up one more penny.
Further, let's not forget the President has already struck two bipartisan compromises on the budget. One accepted more tax cuts for the wealthy which he opposed to avoid abrupt hikes on the middle class during a nascent recovery. Another accepted more spending cuts than he wanted to avoid a calamitous refusal to increase the debt ceiling. Sen. McConnell is aware of this, because he voted for both of these.
And let's remember that "we have the largest tax increase in the history of the country" coming "in less than 9 months" because of the budget gimmicks that McConnell voted for 10 years ago -- putting an expiration date on the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy to mask their long-term cost.
The final idiotic whine is that the Buffett Rule won't create jobs. McConnell said of the Buffett Rule supporters, "Nobody's even claiming this thing creates jobs."
Of course, the same can be said of the entire Republican budget. After seeing their jobs projections mercilessly debunked by independent economists in 2011, this year Republicans didn't even both to make a jobs estimate.
In contrast, the Buffett Rule is not President Obama's entire budget, it is merely one plank. Obama has already proposed a budget that would produce an estimated 15 million jobs.
Republicans aren't even trying to make a honest case against the Buffett Rule before they filibuster it. Something tells me voters are going to notice.
Co-director Robert Borosage calls today's vote on the Buffett Rule legislation "a no-brainer. The Senators who oppose this minimal standard have shred all sense of decency. Only the corrupt or the morally bankrupt could vote to protect the ability of the richest Americans to pay a lower rate of taxes than the rest of us." Read the press release.

|This article is need of a clean-up. You can help out TerraNova Wiki by re-organizing parts of the article, checking grammar and spelling, and doing other helpful things to correct the article.
All Wikia contributors have access to read and contribute to all of our wikis. A number of special user roles also exist on Wikia with advanced user rights, in order to help prevent spam and vandalism. Below is a description of these rights.
Any of these may be subject to change or variation on individual wikis.
To add or remove users from these groups, use Special:UserRights.
==Local level==
===All users===
Anyone, including unregistered users, can read the wiki only on the wiki.
Registered usersEdit
Users who have created an account are able to:
* customize the appearance and features of the wiki by setting their prefences.
* upload an image, video or other file to the wiki.
* add pages to their watchlist, which can be used to track edits to a particular page.
* maintain their talk page.
* remove advertisements from all pages (except for the main page of each wiki).
Autoconfirmed usersEdit
Registered users who have been with Wikia for at least 4 days and made at least 10 edits also have access to the following tools:
* no longer have to go through a Captcha image when inserting an external link into a page, blanking a page or creating a new account.
* edit semi-protected pages.
* upload multiple files at once.
Emailconfirmed usersEdit
Emailconfirmed users are users who have confirmed their email in their preferences. With this permission, emailconfirmed users have the ability to email other users if they have opted to allow other users to email them, as well as requesting lost password information.
Anyone can revert vandalism and bad-faith edits, but it takes a couple of clicks in the page history to get it done. Users with the "rollback" permission are able to undo bad edits with one click, by using the rollback link on diff pages, user contributions list, or the list of recent changes.
It is important to note that admins (including bureaucrats) already have rollback rights by default. Users with rollback rights are just users who are not necessarily an admin.
Rollbackers (users with Rollback rights) can be seen via Special:ListUsers, but they do not by default have any special title that appears on their userpage.
Chat moderatorsEdit
Chat moderators are users who have chat moderator status in chat in order to moderate a wiki's chat room. They are able to block users from chat, which will kick a user out of the chat and ban them from returning until a chat moderator or an admin removes "Banned from chat" at Special:UserRights.
Having this status causes "CHAT MODERATOR" to appear next to the username on the user's userpage.
Administrators (or "Admins") are trusted users, who are generally chosen by the community and also have access to the following tools:
* they have all privileges from the chat moderator and rollback groups and also have the ability to:
** delete and undelete pages, as well as delete images or files (it is not possible to undelete images or files).
** lock (protect) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without adminship privileges.
** block users who are vandalising the wiki from editing.
** grant and revoke chat moderator rights.
** edit the wiki's skin and format.
** edit MediaWiki Pages.
The state of being an administrator is also referred to as "adminship". Being an administrator makes "ADMIN" appear next to a user's name on their userpage.
Bureaucrats have all privileges that come with adminship and also have the ability to grant and revoke rollbacker, chat moderator and adminship rights and appoint new bureaucrats. While they cannot directly revoke another user's bureaucrat status, they can revoke their own. Bureaucrats also have the ability to revoke anybody's bot status in case the bot is malfunctioning, but community consensus is required for the addition of anybody's bot status.
By default, bureaucrats are also listed as "ADMIN" on their userpages, so Special:ListUsers must be used to tell apart Bureaucrat Admins from normal Admins.
A wiki's founder is automatically given admin and bureaucrat rights during wiki creation. This allows them to edit the wiki's skin and format. As more contributors join, it's a good idea for bureaucrats to appoint trusted users as admins.
The title of founder appears next to the founder's name even if they later abdicate their position as bureaucrat or administrator, and it overrides those titles.
A "bot" is any automated process, program, or script that makes it easier for a user to make tedious or repetitive edits and actions on a wiki. When a bot is running in quick succession, the recent changes log can sometimes be overtaken, making it harder to spot more substantial edits by regular users. Giving an account a "bot flag" will hide these edits from the recent changes list (although any editor can still choose to see them by clicking "Show bots").
On Wikia, a user who wishes to use a bot should set up a separate account for it, then talk with other users on the wiki about whether the types of edits the bot makes should be hidden. After discussing it with the community, the bot owner or admin can request the bot to be flagged.
CheckUsers have the ability to check another user's IP address, as well as the ability to check what users have edited using a particular IP address and view the CheckUser log. This ability is generally only available to Wikia Staff, Helpers and VSTF, but on wikis where sockpuppetry is a major problem, access can be considered.
==Global level==
The Volunteer Spam Task Force, abbreviated to "VSTF", are experienced and involved Wikians who have administrator access to all Wikia. They also have tools allowing them to combat cross-wiki spam and vandalism.
Helpers consist of contractors and volunteer interns who are working for Wikia. They have administrator access to all of Wikia's wikis.
Utilites are staff tools which they use for more features. These are shown in Special:Listusers/util on all other wikis. The identity to their profile is not shown but may not have a staff signature unless if they have Wikia Staff privileges.
Why can't I give another user privileges?Edit
Users cannot access some tools when they don't have user rights. If a user has its bureaucrat and admin rights revoked by Wikia Staff, they cannot re-grant them back. They can be revoked for one of the reasons:
*The rights were abused and vandalised.
*A user is inactive (by request of the community).
*User request.
*Found to be as an alternative account which is a sockpuppet.
*A user was denied from adopting a wiki and still has it on a wiki for one of the following reasons:
**The user was founded, adopted or given admin access on a wiki and has not waited 60 days and sneaked for admin rights by telling an admin to grant user rights on the wiki even if contributions are good.
**An admin granted the user rights to a user and someone contacted a staff if a user doesn't have enough edits.
**A user was blocked from another wiki.
*Editing MediaWiki interfaces into nonsense, spam, harassment, hate speech, threats, vandalism and more.
*Mass promoting users with few edits.
What can't blocked users do?Edit
If a user is suspected of breaking TN Wiki's Rules, he may be be blocked by an Admin.
Blocked users can't:
*Edit or move pages
*Delete or protect pages
*Upload files
*Change the rights of others
In some cases, blocked users are also prevented from emailing other users, creating new accounts, and editing their own user talk page only if decided by the local admins, Wikia Staff, Helpers and VSTF.
How can I find different users?Edit
See Special:ListUsers and choose the "administrators", "rollback", or "bureaucrats" check boxes, and click "Show". You will also see a column showing the date of the user's most recent edit, so you can find users that have been active most recently.

White sand beaches and sparkling turquoise waters have long drawn travelers (and pirates, and Christopher Columbus) to these islands, but it's the friendly locals and unexpected adventures that have kept so many coming back
Author Grant Stoddard Photography Peter Frank Edwards
DAY ONE | After you wake up in your luxurious suite at the Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas (1), you pad out to the balcony, take in the view of tranquil, turquoise Great Bay and breathe in the sea air. Feeling fully decompressed, you head to the hotel's Bleuwater restaurant for a breakfast of lobster Benedict with spinach callaloo-style hollandaise sauce, and then get in your rental car to begin the day's adventures.
Your first stop is the bustling little capital of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Charlotte Amalie. To explore it, you meet Simon Larsen, the Danish sailor who leads the Charlotte Amalie Historical Walking Tour (2), at Emancipation Gardens. Larsen gives a lively, humorous and often surprising account (telling you, for instance, that the Mamas and the Papas perfected their harmonies in the city's alleys). A highlight of the tour is the lovely St. Thomas Synagogue, with its floor covered with fine white sand; some say the sand represents the Israelites' journey through the desert, while others contend that it honors the conversos, Jews who were forced to convert to Catholicism but practiced their own religion in secret and floored their cellars with sand to muffle the sound of their prayers.
Following Larsen up the steep, winding streets that overlook the waterfront has earned you a hearty lunch. Within the labyrinth of alleys once teeming with cutthroats and buccaneers you find Gladys' Café (3). Not long after you order the house specialties of conch fritters and curried goat, the eatery's namesake owner (and bartender) belts out a song. Her singing voice and her lip-smacking arsenal of hot sauces are both legendary here — the former calls for a standing ovation; the latter calls for a cooling soursop colada.
You take Highway 35 up and over St. Thomas' higher elevations to the sheltered, mile-long expanse of pristine white sand at Magens Bay (4), where you take a dip. The bay is on the island's north shore, which means the 82-degree water you're enjoying is technically the Atlantic, not the Caribbean. The peaceful surroundings have a profoundly soothing effect on you, but not everyone has been so easily lulled: It is said that Sir Francis Drake used the bay as an anchorage while lying in wait for Spanish ships to plunder.
After an hour spent drifting in and out of consciousness, you drive back to the hotel and board the Ritz's elegant 53-foot catamaran, the Lady Lynsey, for a sunset sail. A crew member offers you an aptly named "Painkiller": dark rum, coconut cream, pineapple juice and orange juice topped with fresh-grated nutmeg. You bring it topside to watch the sun disappear below the horizon with a Technicolor flourish.
You're back at the dock with ample time to check out of the hotel and drive down to nearby Red Hook, where you catch the day's last car barge to the island of St. John. You arrive in Cruz Bay and minutes later are seated at a sidewalk table at La Tapa (5), a contemporary Mediterranean spot that had celeb chef Mario Batali tweeting his enthusiasm for it last April. The atmosphere is as exuberant and sophisticated as you'd find in any southern European harborfront restaurant, enticing you to order appetizers — the seared foie gras with grape-gewürztraminer compote and the grilled langostinos with passion fruit-cilantro aioli — before tucking into a plate of grilled local yellowtail snapper Basquaise with squid ink orzo.
Batali was certainly onto something, as La Tapa is a gastronomic paradise. But two bays north lies yet another paradise: your hotel, Caneel Bay (6), where, full to bursting, you check in under cover of darkness.
We used the travel app Explore St. John for our trip. It was VERY useful!
While in St. Thomas, take a ferry boat ride over to St. John and take the Bad Kitty Catamaran for an all day excursion through the British Virgin Islands…..absolutely beautiful and a lot of fun!! The boat stops at 4 different islands where you can snorkel, eat lunch, and try the island favorite tropical drink: The Pain Killer. It costs around $200 per person, but it's well worth it!! One of the best excursions we've been on.

Comptroller Liu And Other Leaders Press Banks On Foreclosures
What's more, foreclosures not only affects the borrower and the regional economy, but also generates financial troubles for the lenders, meaning the banks should be more motivated to work with customers who are at risk of losing their homes.
[New York News]
While the Obama Administration has recently okayed the distribution of additional billions of dollars to programs focusing more to aid the unemployed in avoiding foreclosures, New York City Comptroller John C. Liu and a collection of leaders have decided to take a different approach.
In an attempt to reduce the percentage of New York City foreclosures, Comptroller Liu --with the help of labor union leaders, New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli, and 65 elected officials-- has decided to focus his energy on the lenders, or the banks.
According to recent statistics from the Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy at New York University, during the first quarter of 2010, foreclosure rates rose 16 percent compared to the first quarter of 2009.
Seperately, the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program ("SIGTARP") has reported that the number of permanent loan modifications issued nationwide as of April 2010 was a mere 168,708. Critics contend financial institutions are not doing all they are capable of to lower the amount of victims of the foreclosure crisis.
"Unresponsive staff, misinformation and repeated requests for paperwork – the red tape and bureaucracy New Yorkers often cite as they struggle to save their homes – are symptoms of a system that lacks incentives for banks to take action and find solutions," Comptroller Liu said, at a recent press conference. "It's time to engage in identifying the best practices and solutions."
The Comptroller said letters were sent to New York City's five largest banks with the intention to discuss the possible reformation of the loan modification process--the banks are Bank of America, Citibank, HSBC Bank, JP Morgan Chase, and Wells Fargo. Comptroller Liu's letter went out on July 15, 2010; another by State Comptroller DiNapoli on August 5, 2010; and additional letters by officials, including all five borough presidents, the Public Advocate, the City Council Speaker, and 53 clergy leaders on August 10, 2010. The letters declared that more could be done by the banks to help avoid foreclosure.
Comptroller Liu and the other officials reminded the banks of the various complaints from the banks' clientele, which they say undermines their customers' confidence in the institutions. What's more, foreclosures not only affects the borrower and the regional economy, but also generates financial troubles for the lenders, meaning the banks should be more motivated to work with customers who are at risk of losing their homes.
"I am pleased today that all five institutions have responded, and we have begun to engage in a dialogue. Now banks must step up and work with us to figure out the best way to keep New Yorkers in their homes."
If on board, each bank was advised to designate a skilled representative to work with borrowers whom have requested a loan modification and were denied. The banks were also to provide responses to specific questions aimed to make them conscious of areas of neglect within their institution. The responses to the letters will also assist the banks and New York leaders in establishing possible solutions for each individual bank.

Try as they might, the world title bouts at WrestleMania in Chicago on April 2 will forever pale in comparison to the world title change that took place at Comiskey Park on June 30, 1961. It was a turning point in wrestling history, with the legitimacy of the champion giving way to the headstrong showman, and the genesis of what would become the WWWF.
On that summer evening in the home of baseball's Chicago White Sox, Pat O'Connor entered the ring to defend the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers.
O'Connor was an amateur wrestling champion from New Zealand, and represented his country in the Pan-American Games in 1948 and the British Empire Games in 1950. In North America, he made his way up the ranks with determination after training with Len Levy.
"Pat was a true main-eventer from the time he came from New Zealand," St. Louis promoter Larry Matysik said when O'Connor died in 1990. "Pat wasn't really a big man but he was a real athlete with a very smooth and fluid style. He was a great crowd pleaser."
O'Connor would claim the NWA world title after defeating Dick Hutton at Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis on January 9, 1959. "Pat was good. You had to be a heel with Pat, though. He was a babyface. He wouldn't heel for anything," Dick Hutton said in a 2000 interview with Whatever Happened To ...?
Rogers had been wrestling since 1939, working as Dutch Rhode while still a police officer in New Jersey. After taking the "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers moniker in Texas, his career took off. When wrestling entered living rooms via the Dumont Network, Rogers became one of the biggest names in sports. Working primarily out of Columbus, Ohio for years, booked by promoter Al Haft, Rogers was a regular in Chicago and routinely sold-out the International Amphitheater.
The match drew a staggering 38,622 fans, a record for attendance that stood for pro wrestling in North America for many years, until WrestleMania III in 1987 topped them all. The ticket sales of $148,000 would remain a pro wrestling record for nearly two decades. (And like WrestleMania III, the attendance number was widely worked, and Rogers in a Wrestling World interview in December 1963 claimed it was 41,000.)
Fortunately, a tape of the match still exists, and has even been broadcast during recent years on ESPN Classics' Golden Age of Wrestling. Billed as "The Match of the Century," it was a two-out-of-three falls affair, with a one hour time limit. At ringside was Rogers' manager Bobby Davis, though he doesn't factor at all in the match.
In the first fall, Rogers scored the pin in eight minutes when he caught a charging O'Connor with a knee lift in the corner. In the second, O'Connor took control with a series of headlocks and punches, and rolled Rogers up with a reverse cradle after six minutes.
The heat for the third fall built throughout the stadium, and it looked as if O'Connor would retain his title, manhandling Rogers for much of the fall. The New Zealander went for a dropkick, but missed, landing on his head. He rolled around the ring, holding his ribs. The Nature Boy jumped at the opportunity and covered O'Connor for the pin after seven minutes.
"Even though it was outdoors the roar of the crowd was so bad at times that we couldn't hear the referee," O'Connor is quoted as saying in the May 1964 edition of Wrestling Confidential. "I'd get a good hold on Rogers and start twisting, but even thought I could see his mouth open and that he was in pain, I couldn't hear him yell."
After the match, Chicago promoter Fred Kohler entered the ring and presented Rogers with the NWA title. The villain thanked the promoter, and bragged "To a nicer guy it couldn't happen."
The historical impact of the title change is one thing, but the backstage goings-on are all the more relevant today. Kohler had been one of the most successful promoters in history, and Chicago was a key city during the 1950s on the wrestling map. After Sam Muchnick left the NWA Presidency in 1960, Toronto promoter Frank Tunney took over and Kohler arranged for the title switch. Then in 1961, Kohler ascended to the NWA Presidency, though he wouldn't last, either as president or as a promoter in the 1960s.
"It was a major title change. It also put Vince McMahon on the map so far as the midwest was concerned. The handouts and whatnot contained McMahon's name as Rogers' manager," said historian Fred Hornby, who compiled the Buddy Rogers Record Book. "That was pretty much McMahon's baby."
Compared to the men with legitimate backgrounds who had preceded him -- O'Connor, Hutton, Lou Thesz -- Rogers was a showman through and through, albeit perhaps the greatest heel ever. His arrogance wasn't an act.
"The shooters hated him because here was Buddy, no wrestling ability, yet he's in the main event and they're not. It all comes down to performance," explained Dick Hutton in a 2001 interview with Wrestling Perspective. Lou Thesz concurred, in his chat with SLAM! Wrestling, when asked about Rogers. "Not a wrestler. A great show person. As far as real wrestling, forget it."
"Some heels in life are almost so good at what they do, you can't help but admire them," wrote Bobby Heenan in his book Chair Shots and Other Obstacles, saying that Rogers "was truly one of those heels in life who was a backstabber, but he was so good at it and really smooth. I'm not proud of it, but part of me admired what he did. Anyone would, as long as they were not on the receiving end of what Rogers did. He was smart and knew every backstabbing way to get himself over in the ring."
As the NWA champ, Rogers drifted out of the promotion's traditional control and took many more northeastern United States bookings than previous champs, influenced in large part by the bright lights of New York and the charm of McMahon. (He only had one rematch with O'Connor as well, on September 1, 1961 at Comiskey Park, which was won in three falls by Rogers.)
"[McMahon] almost put [Rogers] entirely in the northeast for his entire title run with the NWA title. That's what got the other promoters hot and bothered," said Hornby. "The only places Rogers would really go would be Texas, because he still had an allegiance with Paul Boesch and Morris Sigel, and he would go out to the Pacific Northwest for Don Owen."
Things began to spiral out of control with Rogers, and on August 31, 1962 in Columbus, Ohio, the Nature Boy was injured in a locker room confrontation with wrestlers Karl Gotch and Bill Miller. The decision was made to get the belt away from him, and a 47-year-old Lou Thesz would capture his sixth NWA title on January 24, 1963, in Toronto.
McMahon's Capitol Wrestling Corporation refused to recognize the title change, protesting that it was just a one-fall affair, and continued to recognize Rogers as world champion, complete with claiming Rogers won a fictitious tournament. Then, on May 17, 1963, Rogers dropped the newly-created WWWF world title to Bruno Sammartino in a mere 48 seconds.
The Windy City of Chicago would have other title changes over the years -- notably the Ric Flair versus Ricky Steamboat battle at Chi-Town Rumble on February 20, 1989 -- but none would ever compare to O'Connor-Rogers. The matches on Sunday, April 2nd at WrestleMania 22 may be more complicatedly booked (Triple H vs John Cena) or filled with more highspots and action (Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio vs Randy Orton), but they can't possibly measure up.
Greg Oliver founded SLAM! Wrestling with John Powell way back in
1996, and has been writing about pro wrestling since 1985. His recently-published book, The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: The Tag Teams (with Steven Johnson) is the second in a series, following The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: The Canadians. Order them both from the SLAM! Wrestling Store. He can be emailed at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A guy opened his new MacBook Pro box and found this laminated light blue card with Chinese text on the front and back. What is it? A desperate message asking for help? A fortune cookie message?
A MacRumors forum member claims that it is just a Foxconn worker's card, which "basically [reminds the worker of] the working guidelines, follow SOP (standard operating procedure), wear static bracelet, make sure everything is right before changing the shift, etc.."
Do you know what it says? Tell us what it says in the comments.
If you don't know what it says, tell us what it says anyway. I will start:

Cincinnati, Census Bureau disagree about addressesMonday, January 11th, 2010
A bit of controversy is brewing in Cincinnati, as city officials are urging the Census Bureau to mail census forms to addresses that the Bureau claims do not exist. The Bureau removed thousands of Cincinnati addresses from its master address file — which should include every housing unit in the United States — but the city says some of those addresses are valid.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports:
After canvassing every neighborhood and allowing local governments to give input, Cincinnati says the Census Bureau took out 12,534 addresses in the city – many of them without explanation. City officials believe at least 3,063 addresses are valid, and want them put back.
"The effort to get an accurate count begins with the address check, with that master list of addresses, making sure that the census has all the information that we as a city have about where people live," said Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory, who heads a census task force for the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
And according to the newspaper, Cincinnati is far from the only municipality to appeal the Census Bureau's address list:
Cincinnati's complaint is one of about 2,200 that have been sent to a special appeals panel – twice as many appeals as were filed a decade ago. Those appeals contain 1.7 million addresses.
The government hasn't released a list of those appeals, but the Boone County Planning Commission also has appealed 1,458 addresses it says are missing: 337 in Florence, nine in Union and 1,112 in unincorporated Boone County.
Philip N. Fulton, the director of the Census Bureau's appeals staff, said it's impossible for his staff of 30 people to review each one of those addresses individually. Instead, his staff looks at whether the city has done a "logical, rigorous analysis." If so, he said, Cincinnati will get the benefit of the doubt.
"(The appeal process) is an effort by Congress to give communities an opportunity to be heard, and it's in their favor," he said. "We go into this with the mentality that this local government has a case, otherwise they wouldn't put so much work into it."
Cincinnati's complaint that addresses were removed without explanation is a common one.
"That's happening all over the country," Fulton said. "And that factor is leading to more appeals."
It's clear that getting a census form to all addresses is crucial for an accurate count. But wasting forms and time on invalid addresses is a poor use of Census Bureau resources. We'll keep tabs on the outcomes of address file appeals, so let us know about any in your community.

I'll catch up with the Kotaku Game Club this weekend by putting an end to Shadows of the Damned, the Suda51 joint that reportedly didn't sell very well last month. Shame about that. But I'll give it its due!
The other game still on my list to finish is Half Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax for Xbox Live Arcade, a game I can thank for some lovely Avatar armor. Beyond that, I've got way too much San Diego Comic-Con planning to do, so video games are going to have to take a back seat.
What about yourself? Got any good gaming plans for the weekend? Then you know what to do. Sound off in the comments below!

More than a year after his arrest, federal prosecutors have charged a local biologist with conspiring to embezzle funds from the Yurok Tribe.
Mad River Biologists founder Ron LeValley is due to make his initial appearance in federal court later this month. Prosecutors filed a single charge against him, alleging that he conspired with former Yurok Tribe Forestry Director Roland Raymond to steal almost $1 million from the tribe through a complex scheme of false and inflated invoices and payments for work that was never performed.
LeValley and Sean McAllister, one of the company's biologists, were charged by the Del Norte County District Attorney's Office with conspiracy and embezzlement in February 2012. Authorities alleged they were key components of a complex plot that allowed Raymond to bilk hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal funds.
State charges against the pair were dismissed in January to make way for federal prosecutions. McAllister had not been charged federally as of Tuesday, and it remains unclear if the U.S. Attorney's Office will pursue charges.
Raymond pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiring to embezzle from an Indian tribal organization and faces a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison and a fine of more than $1.5 million when he is sentenced Nov. 5. He cooperated with the federal investigation targeting LeValley and McAllister.
His attorney, Randall Davis, said Tuesday that he expects the U.S. Attorney's Office to file a motion in the near future requesting that Raymond receive a lighter sentence in exchange for his cooperation.
Authorities sent shock waves through the local biology community in February 2012 when they served a number of search warrants throughout the county, alleging that Raymond, LeValley and McAllister used an elaborate scheme to embezzle more than $870,000 in federal funds from the Yurok Tribe over a three-year period.
The scheme allegedly saw LeValley and McAllister submit at least 75 false invoices between 2007 and 2010, billing the Yurok Tribe for wildlife surveys their company never performed, according to investigative reports.
The surveys were primarily purported to be for northern spotted owl research aimed at determining which tracts of tribal properties could be logged. It's unclear whether the alleged conspiracy impacted any timber harvest plans or led to the destruction of habitat for the northern spotted owl, a federally endangered species.
According to the federal charging document, Raymond told LeValley he wanted to pay him, other Mad River Biologists employees, and some tribal forestry employees a bonus at some point in 2007. Raymond suggested LeValley submit an inflated invoice to the Yurok Tribe to cover the bonuses, according to the document.
"LeValley agreed to this arrangement," the document states.
Raymond then received tribal approval in October 2008 for $98,000 worth of Endangered Species Act surveys to be conducted by Mad River Biologists. According to the document, Raymond told LeValley that the tribe did not have money to pay for fire prevention and other forestry work, and asked him to begin regularly submitting false invoices for work his company hadn't performed.
LeValley allegedly funneled the money back to Raymond, less a percentage — identified in other court documents as 20 percent.
In 2009 and 2010, as the price of timber plummeted and harvests ground to a virtual halt, Mad River Biologists billed the tribe for approximately $852,000 worth of surveys. According to the documents, LeValley funneled at least $540,000 of this money back to Raymond but kept the balance to pay his company's operating expenses, which included his own salary.
Despite his alleged statements to LeValley about wanting to use the bilked funds to offset cuts to fire prevention and forestry work, Raymond did not use any of the money received from fraudulent invoices to that end, according to the document.
Based on investigative reports and court documents, McAllister's role in the alleged embezzlement appears to be limited to signing deposit slips and checks. His knowledge level about the alleged scheme is unclear.
Both McAllister's attorney, Greg Rael, and LeValley's attorney, William Kimball, declined to comment for this story. LeValley is scheduled to be arraigned in the federal courthouse in San Francisco on Oct. 29.

OpenCo New York
NewCo Platform - OLD - DO NOT USE
Thursday, May 23, 2013 from 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM (EDT)
Event Details
The OpenCoNY Festival
The best way to experience and learn about the innovation economy isn't in a stuffy ballroom - it is up close and personal and in its native habitat. Experienced marketers and conference organizers Brian Monahan and John Battelle would like your support for a new type of business conference called OpenCo, which we like to think of as a mix between a business conference and artist's open studio with the vibe of a music festival. With your help, more than 100 of the most innovative businesses in NY will open their doors to the public on May 23.
This festival of innovation will celebrate companies that embrace a set of values surrounding the concept of openness: open collaboration, open communication, open community, open company and open doors to you. Attendees will meet these innovators in their native habitat and hear from the founders and executives about how they are trying to change the world and why. They will inspire you and help you make new connections, whether you are a job seeker, investor or simply a curious neighbor.
We already have a growing list of host companies ("HostCos"), who have signed on to open up their doors and share their vision including: AOL, AppNexus, Betaworks, Business Insider, Buzzfeed, Estee Lauder Online, Etsy, Fab.com, Foursquare, General Assembly, Kickstarter, Lerer Ventures, Local Response, Pave, PolicyMic, Rap Genius, Rebelmouse, Thrillist, Warby Parker, ZocDoc and many more coming soon!
We ran a "beta test" of OpenCo in San Francisco last Fall and the one day event was a huge success. We had over 80 participating companies and 2,000 registered festival goers. Here is a video that gives you a taste of that event:
We hope that you will help us launch the first-ever, three-day OpenCo in New York City. We're expanding everything - the technology platform, the video coverage, the staffing, and the services we provide to HostCos and partners. We are increasing onsite video coverage so that these exciting stories remain told throughout the year and to audiences far and wide.
Please help us support some of NYC's most exciting and dynamic companies...
John Battelle and Brian Monahan
Co-founders, OpenCo

A fresh twist on the traditional conference + media platform, NewCo is rapidly gaining traction across the globe. The concept is simple but powerful: NewCo turns a traditional event inside out.

Executives, entrepreneurs, investors, and future influencers get an up close and personal experience of each company in its native habitat. Once inside, participants have a wide range of experiences – from behind-the-scene tours of cutting-edge work environments to founders candidly sharing insights into their own entrepreneurial journey. Only NewCo offers this deep and unique experience of the innovation economy.

The city of Chicago is many things. It's diverse. It's metropolitan. And sure, it can be windy. Accordingly, Chicagoans and visitors alike can find numerous opportunities for ideal places and backdrops for beautiful wedding photography. We've selected one favorite, Chicago's 24.5-acre Millennium Park as one must-stop photo locale for your wedding.
Completed in 2004, the park contains everything from architectural marvels to outdoor oases. We've highlighted the park's best landmarks — all worthy of becoming the canvas for your wedding memories. Be aware, however, that if you plan to schedule a wedding shoot at the park, it is your responsibility to secure the necessary permit for professional photography.
Where it's located: Welcome Center
201 E. Randolph St.
Chicago, IL 60601
Contact: (312) 742-1168
What you should know: The park is open every day from 6 a.m. until 11 p.m. and admission is free. The Millennium Park Garage entrance is located on South Columbus Drive, between Monroe Drive and Randolph Street. Check www.grantparkparking.com for rates. Keep in mind the park is a popular spot for visitors, especially on weekends.
About this photo locale: It winds 925 feet from Daley Bicentennial Plaza to Millennium Park. The BP Bridge is a brushed stainless-steel clad structure designed by world famous architect Frank Gehry. The pale tones of the Brazilian hardwood compliment the contrasting metal exterior.
What you should know: In the distance, you'll be able to capture a remarkable view of the Chicago skyline. Take some photos of the wedding party on the bridge from the vantage point of the structure itself as well as from Columbus Drive below.
About this photo locale: Also designed by Frank Gehry, the 120-foot-high pavilion is an architectural wonder made of stainless steel. A shining metal trellis emerges from the sinewy organic structure housing the stage to envelope the 95,000-square-foot lawn seating area.
What you should know: Venture inside the pavilion or around the exterior to capture the details of the pavilion up-close and personal. Or catch a view from the nearby BP Bridge. One thing to note is that the Pavilion holds events and activities throughout the season. You can check with the event websitefor exact times, but they tend to occur on Saturday mornings before 11 a.m.
About this photo locale: Like an oversized glistening paperweight, the 110-ton Cloud Gate sculpture lies centrally in the SBC Plaza. It measures 66 feet long and is 33 feet high. This delightful sculpture, known affectionately as "The Bean", was designed by British artist Anish Kapoor.
What you should know: This elliptical master of illusions offers boundless possibilities for wedding photo moments. Walk one way and you'll see the mirrored reflection of the Chicago high-rises on its polished stainless steel plate surfaces. Walk under its 12-foot-high arch and you'll be able to capture a kaleidoscope of images on the concave underbelly of the sculpture. Keep in mind that you'll likely share your space with other curious onlookers, bent on figuring out the distorted views the Cloud Gate offers.
About this photo locale: Not to be missed, the Crown Fountain is comprised of two 50-foot towers marking the ends of a shallow reflecting pool. Spanish artist Jaume Plensa created this ever-changing masterpiece, which displays the faces of Chicago's own on the giant LED screens.
What you should know: The crown fountain makes for some wet, but beautiful imagery. Water spouts forth from the mouths of the faces — or so it seems. A water outlet is placed just so, to create the illusion of mouths spewing water into the shallow pool. Though you'll be able to capture the images year round, the water typically runs from mid-spring to mid-fall, so plan your photographic moments accordingly. You can check with the park for more up-to-date information.
About this photo locale: The 2.5-acre park, designed by Gustafson Guthrie Nichol Ltd, Piet Oudolf and Robert Israel, sits on the south side of Millennium Park by Monroe Street. It is a tribute to Chicago's transformation from a flat marshland into the urban powerhouse it is today.
What you should know: Look for details to include in the photos such as the 15-foot shoulder hedge, the hardwood footbridge, and over 100 types of perennials. Brides and grooms who don't mind casting their cares and shoes away might endeavor to get a few photographs at the shallow pool.
About this photo locale: Even amongst the modernistic aesthetics of many of the structures of Millennium Park, you'll find a nod to ancient Greek architecture. At the north end of Wrigley Square, you'll find the Millennium Monument, a replica of the original peristyle that once stood there from 1917 to 1953. The limestone Doric columns are nearly 40 feet high and arranged in a semicircle around a spouting fountain.
What you should know: At night, the lit monument makes for an enchanting backdrop, with the names of the park's founders etched into the base wall of the structure. By day, expect this to be a busy spot for park visitors. Consider taking some close-up shots behind a veil of water as the fountain rains down. Or take a few around the perimeter of the colonnade as you descend the ramp with the structure flanking your left-hand side.
In Chicago, there's no guarantee of perfect weather for your wedding photos — especially with possible temperature changes of up to 20 degrees Fahrenheit in an hour. But with a bit of proper planning, you still can make the most out of your photo moments.
Depending on where you're shooting and what effect you're looking for, certain times of day are better for capturing those special moments. Here are some considerations:

In the last two weeks, two major reports were released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC): "Climate Change 2014: Mitigation of Climate Change" (WGIII) and "Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability" (WGII). The conclusions will be integrated in a Synthesis Report to be considered in the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris, from 30 November to 11 December 2015.
The report "Climate Change 2014: Mitigation of Climate Change" shows that global emissions of greenhouse gases have risen to unprecedented levels despite a growing number of policies to reduce climate change and concludes that it would be possible, using a wide array of technological measures and changes in behaviour, to limit the increase in global mean temperature to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.The Working Group III contribution assessed the options for mitigating climate change and their underlying technological, economic and institutional requirements. It transparently laid out risks, uncertainty and ethical foundations of climate change mitigation policies on the global, national and sub-national level, investigated mitigation measures for all major sectors and assessed investment and finance issues.On the other hand, the report, titled "Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability", from Working Group II of the IPCC, detailed the impacts of climate change to date, the future risks from a changing climate, and the opportunities for effective action to reduce risks. It also enhanced that the risks will bedifficult to manage with high levels of warming. The Working Group II contribution considered the vulnerability and exposure of human and natural systems, the observed impacts and future risks of climate change, and the potential for and limits to adaptation. The chapters of the report assessed risks and opportunities for societies, economies, and ecosystems around the world. The Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) aims to provide a clear and most up to date view of the current state of scientific knowledge relevant to climate change. It comprises of three Working Group (WG) reports and a Synthesis Report (SYR) which integrates and synthesize material in the WG reports for policymakers. The SYR will be considered in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 27-31 October 2015, and will be a basis for the United Nations Climate Change Conference, to be held in Paris, France in 2015.
