It's Christmas! The Most Wonderful Time of the Year! I love to hear the Christmas music... I'll hear a certain Christmas song and it transports me back to my childhood, where I can see the dimly lit living room with the bright Christmas tree in the corner, I can feel the shag carpet beneath my feet, and I can smell the wonderful foods my mother is baking in the kitchen... So many wonderful memories of years gone by can be brought to the fore-front of my mind just by a familiar Christmas song.
Another song that always brings back wonderful memories and never fails to bring tears to my eyes is "The Wonder of Wonders." My mother would sing this song in church every Christmas. I can remember her explaining this song to us children and hear her voice as she told the Christmas story. Her voice would catch and tears would fill her eyes as she told us how the Lord became a child and dwelt among men. I can just imagine Mary gazing into the precious little face of her newborn son, and the awe that she felt in holding God's Son. I am still amazed that God loved this world enough to send His son, and He sent his son in the most helpless, vulnerable state... as a newborn baby. How humbling for the Creator of the Universe to humble himself and become a man, a baby, so he could become The Sacrifice for our sins.
The Wonder of it all... is that Christ Jesus loved us, loved me enough to become a baby, to live among men, to die and rise again so that everyone has the chance at eternal life in Heaven.
And you know... when I really think about it... spending Christmas overseas away from friends and family seems like such a small, small price to pay for what Christ has already done for us! The least we can do is share the Gospel so that everyone has the chance to receive The Greatest Gift!
THE WONDER OF WONDERS
THE WONDER OF WONDERS AS SHE LOOKED ON HIS FACE,
THAT THIS LITTLE BOY SPOKE THE WORLDS INTO PLACE.
THE STARS AND THE MOON SHINING BRIGHTLY ON THEM,
THE EARTH AND THE SUN WERE CREATED BY HIM.
THE WONDER OF WONDERS ,OH HOW COULD IT BE,
THAT GOD BECAME FLESH AND WAS GIVIN FOR ME.
THE ALMIGHTY CAME DOWN AND WALKED AMOUNG MEN,
THE WONDER OF WONDERS, HE DIED FOR MY SINS.
THE WONDER OF WONDERS AS SHE LOOKED DOWN AND SMILED,
THAT HE WAS HER MAKER AS WELL AS HER CHILD.
HE CREATED THE WOMB THAT HAD GIVIN HIM BIRTH.
HE WAS GOD INCARNATE CAME DOWN TO EARTH.
THE WONDER OF WONDERS AS SHE HEARD HIS SMALL CRY,
THAT THIS VOICE HAD THUNDERED ON MT. SINAI.
THE SMALL HAND SHE HELD SO TENDERLY HAD
MADE A DRY PATH THROUGH THE MIGHTY RED SEA.

In the 1990s, I served 10 years on the board of directors of the Alameda Chamber of Commerce, and as its president from January 1995 through July 1996. During that time, we felt it was important for the Chamber to declare its independence from the city, and we got our budget strong enough to get off the dole of some $28,000 annually contributed by the city. We did not believe that city decisions regarding redevelopment and taxation always served the best interests of our members.
I even penned the Chamber Mission Statement, which promises that the organization will “Give a voice to the business community” and its members by taking independent stands on various issues facing the voters.
In more recent years, after a declining membership, the Chamber has once again been receiving money from the city to survive, prompting some members and former members to question the independence of the group. Its leadership has been curiously silent on such issues as Measure H and Proposition P, both impacting local businesses.
So I was relieved to see the Chamber board of directors vote to oppose the “development done by ballot box” of the SunCal initiative for their proposed development at Alameda Point. Board President Blake Bryden made it eloquently clear in the Chamber press release specific features of the initiative the Chamber finds flawed.
And then I learned that because of the city’s budget deficit, funding for the Chamber is in doubt, and I was even more impressed by their courageous stand, since Mayor Beverly Johnson and several City Council members have expressed their support for SunCal. That’s the sort of backbone such a civic organization needs to demonstrate.
And then, on Oct. 2, I noted in the Alameda Journal a large headline at the top of the editorial page, “Chamber misrepresented on Alameda Point plans.” Penned by Chamber CEO Melody Marr, the article declares that contrary to news stories, the Chamber does not oppose SunCal’s “plans for the Point” at all, but only the initiative process. “This is a very important distinction,” Marr writes.
This statement gives me pause. Was my newly reborn confidence in the Chamber’s independence misplaced? Were all the news stories wrong? But then Marr goes on to simply reiterate the many specific concerns the Chamber board has with the initiative, including possible losses to city revenues and no support for infrastructure. So what is the point of that headline?
For there is no “plan” for SunCal’s development of Alameda Point except the initiative being put before the voters, complete with all those provisions the Chamber opposes. This seems then like a distinction without a difference. The Chamber board of directors has voted to oppose the initiative SunCal is putting before the voters. The Chamber CEO is trying to create the impression that the Chamber supports SunCal.
So we, the citizens, and the readers of the Alameda Journal are left to wonder: Is the mayor, is the city of Alameda itself, having second thoughts about SunCal? And more importantly to the business community of the island, is the Chamber of Commerce independent in its views, or not?

NASA has selected 304 proposals from U.S. small businesses to advance research and technology in Phase I of its 2018 SmallBusinessInnovationResearch (SBIR) program and 44 proposals for the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program, totaling $43.5 million in awards. These selections support NASA's future space exploration missions, while also benefiting the U.S. economy.
"This round of Phase I ideas look very promising and creative, and will enhance innovation throughout the Agency,” said Jim Reuter, acting associate administrator for NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD). “Many of the businesses that go through the SBIR program end up working with NASA on the research and technologies needed to advance our space exploration goals.”
Proposals were selected according to their technical merit and feasibility, in addition to the experience, qualifications and facilities of the submitting organization. Additional criteria included effectiveness of the work plan and commercial potential.
The selected proposals will support the development of technologies in the areas of aeronautics, human space exploration and operations, science, and space technology. Awards cover a breadth of research and development needs, including:
Phase I work and results provide a sound basis for the continued development, demonstration and delivery of the proposed innovation in Phase II and follow-on efforts. Phase III is the commercialization of innovative technologies, products and services resulting from either a Phase I or Phase II contract.
The SBIR and STTR programs encourage small businesses and research institutions to develop innovative ideas that meet the specific research and development needs of the federal government. The programs are intended to stimulate technological innovation in the private sector, increase the commercial application of research results, and encourage participation of socially and economically disadvantaged persons and women-owned small businesses. Since the 1970s, small businesses have created approximately 55 percent of all jobs in the United States.
The SBIR and STTR programs are managed for STMD by NASA's Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley. STMD is responsible for developing the cross-cutting, pioneering new technologies and capabilities needed by the agency to achieve its current and future missions.

Postponing An Event
Should You Postpone Your Event
So we all know that Melbourne is in lockdown for another week. What we don’t know is how long this fourth lockdown is going to last. A lot of brides and other party organisers are deciding on whether or not they should postpone their early June functions. In the entertainment and functions industry, most businesses ask for a deposit to secure the availability of that date, then a week or two before the event the client is to make the final payment. It is a stressful situation to be in, clients plan their weddings for months on end and to postpone their event because of a ‘potential’ lockdown is a risky thing to do. Do you play it safe and reschedule to another date or do you take the risk and go ahead with the event anyway?
A lot of clients are watching the number of cases and have based their decision on that. There have only been 5-6 cases since the start of the lockdown and a lot of these party planners have hope that this lockdown will only last for one week. Other clients are not willing to take that risk and have just decided to postpone their event.
During the February lockdown, Melbourne Dj Hire had a couple of clients plan a very impromptu wedding on the day of the snap lockdown announcement. Once the lockdown for the next day was announced, one bride contacted all of her contractors and asked if they were available that same evening. She then contacted all of her guest and told them that the wedding will now be held that evening at a local function venue. Of course, not all her guests were able to make it on such short notice but a majority of people were able to come to the wedding. She managed to pull off this event in such a short time and everyone took that opportunity to party hard before a full week of being in lockdown.

John Fox won’t give Jay Cutler vote of confidence, says he’s still evaluating QB
John Fox was given the opportunity to say something positive about Jay Cutler, perhaps a comment that indicates the new Chicago Bears head coach has some semblance of faith that the talented but erratic quarterback can seize the starting role and lead the team heading into next season. He refused to do so.
In fact, Fox wouldn’t even provide a lukewarm vote of confidence for his team’s presumptive starting signal-caller, instead arguing that there is no timetable to make that determination and that he’s still in process of evaluating Cutler.
“We’re not up against a deadline,” Fox said, via ESPN Chicago’s Michael C. Wright. “My experience has always been that you need to gather the information and in turn, you usually make better decisions. We’re in that process, and we’ll keep you posted.”
Part of the evaluation process involves simply getting acquainted with Cutler, says Fox.
“Well, I think just getting to know him [is important],” the head coach said. “You know, everybody’s got perceptions. But I think that getting to know the guy, this is a relationship business, and that takes time. So I don’t want to stand up here and give you a final evaluation when I’m maybe a quarter through the test.”
Regarding issues related to Cutler’s future with team, that remains murky. While his base 2015 salary of $15.5 million is guaranteed, should he still be on the roster on March 12 — the third day of the NFL’s new year — $10 million of Cutler’s 2016 salary becomes guaranteed as well.
Fox would not comment on that issue, either, noting that the deadline when that decision needs to be made is still weeks away.
Given that the Bears reportedly met with free agent quarterback Josh McCown and how Jimmy Clausen replaced Cutler temporarily last season — albeit under a different coaching regime — Cutler’s erratic ineffectiveness and hefty salary (not to mention the looming $10 million that becomes guaranteed on March 12) indicates there’s no guarantee Cutler will continue to be the guy in Chi-Town.
Just ask Coach Fox about that … and while he hasn’t and likely won’t reveal much, what he doesn’t say about Cutler speaks volumes.

As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine grinds into its fourth thirty day period, officers in Kyiv have expressed fears that the specter of “war fatigue” could erode the West’s solve to enable the place press back again Moscow’s aggression.
The US and its allies have offered billions of bucks in weaponry to Ukraine. Europe has taken in hundreds of thousands of men and women displaced by the war. And there has been unprecedent unity in put up-World War II Europe in imposing sanctions on President Vladimir Putin and his place.
But as the shock of the Feb. 24 invasion subsides, analysts say the Kremlin could exploit a dragged-out, entrenched conflict and achievable waning fascination among the Western powers that could guide to pressuring Ukraine into a settlement.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy currently has chafed at Western tips he need to acknowledge some form of compromise. Ukraine, he stated, would choose its possess phrases for peace.
“The exhaustion is rising, men and women want some form of end result (that is useful) for them selves, and we want (one more) end result for ourselves,” he stated.
An Italian peace proposal was dismissed, and French President Emmanuel Macron was fulfilled with an indignant backlash following he was quoted as indicating that while Putin’s invasion was a “historic mistake,” world powers should not “humiliate Russia, so when the battling stops, we can construct a way out collectively by using diplomatic paths.” Ukrainian Overseas Minister Dmytro Kuleba stated these converse “can only humiliate France and every single other place that would phone for it.”
Even a remark by previous US Secretary of Condition Henry Kissinger that Ukraine need to think about territorial concessions drew a retort from Zelenskyy that it was tantamount to European powers in 1938 permitting Nazi Germany declare components of Czechoslovakia to suppress Adolf Hitler’s aggression.
Kyiv needs to press Russia out of the freshly captured places in jap and southern Ukraine, as nicely as retaking Crimea, which Moscow annexed in 2014, and components of the Donbas beneath regulate of Kremlin-backed separatists for the previous 8 several years.
Each thirty day period of the war is costing Ukraine $5 billion, stated Volodymyr Fesenko, political analyst with the Penta Centre feel tank, and that “makes Kyiv dependent on the consolidated place of the Western nations.”
Ukraine will will need even additional sophisticated weaponry to safe victory, together with Western resolve to hold up the financial ache on Russia to weaken Moscow.
“It is apparent that Russia is established to use down the West and is now making its technique on the assumption that Western nations will get drained and steadily start off to adjust their militant rhetoric to a additional accommodating just one,” Fesenko stated in an job interview with The Connected Push.
The war even now will get well known protection in each the United States and Europe, which have been horrified by illustrations or photos of the fatalities of Ukrainian civilians in the largest battling on the continent considering that World War II.
The U.S. proceeds to enable Ukraine, with President Joe Biden indicating previous 7 days that Washington will offer it with sophisticated rocket methods and munitions that will permit it to additional specifically strike essential targets on the battlefield.
In a New York Periods essay on Could 31, Biden stated, “I will not tension the Ukrainian governing administration — in personal or general public — to make any territorial concessions.”
Germany, which experienced confronted criticism from Kyiv and somewhere else for perceived hesitancy, has pledged its most present day air protection methods however.
“There has been nothing at all like it, even in the Chilly War when the Soviet Union appeared most threatening,” stated Nigel Gould-Davies, senior fellow for Russia and Eurasia at the Intercontinental Institute for Strategic Reports.
When he does not see a important erosion in the “emphatic assistance for Ukraine,” Gould-Davies stated “there are hints of diverse tensions about what the West’s ambitions need to be. These have not however been plainly described.”
Europe’s domestic issues are nudging their way into the discourse, specifically as power costs and uncooked components shortages commence to just take an financial toll on standard men and women who are experiencing increased electric power payments, gasoline fees and grocery costs.
When European leaders hailed the choice to block ninety% of Russian oil exports by the finish of the 12 months as “a total good results,” it took 4 months of negotiations and provided a concession making it possible for Hungary, broadly noticed as the Kremlin’s closest EU ally, to proceed imports. Months additional of political fantastic-tuning are expected.
“It reveals that unity in Europe is declining a little bit on the Russian invasion,’’ stated Matteo Villa, an analyst with the ISPI feel tank in Milan. “There is this form of exhaustion location in among the member states on obtaining new approaches to sanction Russia, and plainly within just the European Union, there are some nations that are considerably less and considerably less ready to go on with sanctions.’’
Cautious of the financial effect of more power sanctions, the European Fee has signaled it would not hurry to suggest clean restrictive actions concentrating on Russian gasoline. EU lawmakers are also attractive for fiscal assist for citizens strike by heating and gasoline selling price hikes to assure that general public assistance for Ukraine does not wane.
Italy’s appropriate-wing chief Matteo Salvini, who has been noticed as near to Moscow, advised overseas journalists this 7 days that Italians are all set to make sacrifices, and that his League supports the sanctions in opposition to Russia.
But he indicated that backing is not unrestricted, amid signals the trade stability beneath sanctions has shifted in Moscow’s favor, hurting smaller small business proprietors in northern Italy who are element of his foundation.
“Italians are extremely offered to make particular financial sacrifices to assistance Ukraine’s protection and get there at a stop-fireplace,’’ Salvini stated.
“What I would not like is to come across us back again right here in September, following 3 months with the conflict even now ongoing. If that is the circumstance, it will be a catastrophe for Italy. Past the fatalities, and conserving life, which is the precedence, economically, for Italy, if the war goes on, it will be a catastrophe,” he stated.

As will be seen from yesterday’s post, Florence accompanied us on our visit to this glorious garden.
She produced her own splendid photographic record.
I am particularly grateful to her for the images created from beside the lake which I, adjudging the descent too precarious, was unable to reach. As usual each of these images are titled in the galleries.
This afternoon I scanned a few more recently rediscovered colour slides from August 2008. These are from a visit to Kew Gardens.
Beside the lake huge gunnera grow; upon it plays a splendid fountain.
The Titan Arum, or Amorphophallus Titanum, otherwise, on account of its putrid pong, known as the corpse plant, a native of Sumatra, is grown in the tropical hothouse. My second image bears a loose resemblance to the unfortunate hooded Elephant Man of Victorian England.
Later, I received a text inviting me to book an appointment for a Covid vaccine at our own surgery in Milford on Sea. This has to be done on line. If I don’t do it I will receive a phone call next week. Having already been offered and booked one in Christchurch I tried to telephone to discuss this. It was, of course, not possible. It looks as if I will take the bird in the hand.
With two more chapters of ‘Little Dorrit’ read, I scanned two more of Charles Keeping’s inimitable illustrations.
First we have ‘It became necessary to lead Mr F’s Aunt from the room’, which offers three different, accurate portraits.
‘Past homeless people lying coiled up in nooks’ depicts a social ill which to some lesser extent is still with us, as demonstrated by this East End Review article of April 15th 2015:
‘The homeless person sleeping rough might be a common image in London today, but in the 19th century there were hundreds spilling onto the streets every night.
Short but powerful, the new exhibition Homes of the Homeless: Seeking Shelter in Victorian London at the Geffrye Museum seeks to illuminate the daily struggle of the bitterly poor in the city 200 years ago. What this exhibition highlights most candidly is the juxtaposition between the Victorian ideal of the home and the reality of destitution in this period.
Some took to sleeping in London’s parks, while others tumbled into shelters and workhouses, where conditions varied massively. Queueing for accommodation was something frequently seen on the streets come dark, even in central locations like Covent Garden, and protests broke out as hundreds camped out in Trafalgar Square.
Touching in so many different ways, the exhibition features paintings, photographs, testimonials and engravings all depicting homelessness in its various guises. The destitute family was a common image, with children evoking particular sympathy, and billboards and newspapers both carried adverts imploring people to give whatever they could to support the city’s more unfortunate souls. The government did, by today’s standards, much to stem the flow of homelessness in the capital, but as the century progressed, the problem became more difficult to contain.
Homes of the Homeless charts this challenge, touching on the different approaches to homelessness – from casual wards where ‘inmates’ could exchange hard labour for a place to sleep, to model lodging houses that were designed to more closely imitate a real home – as well as real people’s reactions to their dire circumstances, collected from investigative journalism and charity reports.
Thoroughly researched and straightforwardly presented, this exhibition is accessible to anyone interested in the history of London. With glaring relevance today, it presents a significant slice of history that should not be overlooked, and an important lesson in charity and compassion. Homes of the Homeless is a succinct, enlightening exhibition in one of London’s most charming museums.’
This evening we dined on Jackie’s wholesome chicken and vegetable stewp with crusty bread, with which I drank more of the Macon.
A couple of days ago Jackie made a new sign for The Dragon Bed, and left a photograph on my camera.
Paul and Margery made a brief visit at lunchtime in order to deliver a birthday present ordered from their last exhibition. Both were looking in fine fettle.
Afterwards, Jackie drove us around the forest.
Like many other plants this year, the heather seemed to be blooming early.
Not that the ponies noticed.
They just kept their eyes on the grass.
On the outskirts of Burley we took a pot-holed drive down Tyrell’s Lane,
where I was struck by the topiary fronting a house called Ladywell. This reflected the thatched roofing
which bears a peacock motif on top.
Next door, Tyrell’s Way’s garden sports a magnificent gunnera.
As I have occasionally mentioned, sheep are inquisitive creatures. This one in a field at the end of Tyrell’s drive, even lifted its head from its grazing at my approach.
This was in stark contrast to the low maintenance ovine mother and child occupying a garden in Furzley, who completely ignored me.
Stony Cross Plain, just north of the A31, seems to be the province of Shetland ponies,
one of which thought that a discarded tissue was not to be sniffed at.
A recumbent foal
occasionally stirred itself to stand. This creature has become accustomed to flies,
which is more than can be said for its younger cousin at Nomansland, still skipping in confusion at the irritation.
A visit to Eyeworth Pond revealed nothing of interest, except for this post box near the Royal Oak, that we had not noticed before. Shultze gunpowder factory operated near the pond from the 1860s until the early 20th century. This receptacle was erected to make the postman’s life easier, in the days before delivery vans. It was recently restored by the Forestry Commission.
This evening we dined on Jackie’s roast chicken, savoury rice, breaded mushrooms, tempura vegetables, and salad. She drank Hoegaarden and I drank more of the cabernet sauvignon/tempranillo.
This morning we took Sheila to visit the Gordleton Mill Hotel and garden. Although there was a private function in the hotel, having walked down a few steps and across the bridge over the River Avon, we were welcomed in the bar and on the patio where we each enjoyed a cappuccino. One of the attractions of this beautiful garden is its array of artwork, much of which I photographed on our visit of 2nd April.
There were still a few I had not featured before, such as
the front view of Organic Woman, the rear of which greets you as you drive in;
the same artist’s Stone sculpture;
or this apple and pear.
Should you prefer tree sculpture there is this moustachioed chap,
or the Wood Spirit.
Two vacant chairs against a backdrop of gunnera, waited patently for occupants. Unbeknown to me, as I followed in their tracks, Jackie and Sheila had apparently obliged, whilst I was inside settling the bill.
Yellow irises were sprayed by a sculpted fountain, creating a scene being depicted by
two attractive artists, their materials spread out on the woven furniture.
We enjoyed a pleasant chat before I continued catching up Jackie and Sheila who had progressed to another area which, in turn, led up some steps revealing another beautiful garden room, in which three women strolled with glasses of wine..
This afternoon I cut the grass and Jackie continued weeding and pruning. I have to admit that, were I to do the weeding, I would be bound either to pull up something I shouldn’t, or to leave to flourish a plant better uprooted. My contribution to this exercise is to gather up the containers of the head gardener’s refuse, carry them up to the compost area, then backtrack, by which time she will have filled a wheelbarrow, and I would return to the heap.
As a little respite from this trudging, I took a brief wander down Downton Lane which has more than its share of blind bends on which a scooter has just enough room to pass an oncoming car.
Iris foetidissima now flourishes on the verges.
This evening the three of us dined at The Plough Inn at Tiptoe. We enjoyed the usual excellent fare, with friendly and efficient service. My choice was home made pork, apple, and cider pie encased in proper short crust pastry, boiled potatoes, cauliflower, carrots and cabbage with tasty gravy, followed by New Forest ice cream; Jackie’s was chicken fricassee followed by a firm, yet, moist cheesecake; Sheila’s was scampi with boiled potatoes and a plentiful, fresh, salad. I drank a superb rioja; Jackie, draught Peroni; and Sheila, sparkling water.


WASHINGTON — What prompted a slew of new federal proposals to combat abusive practices in the credit card industry depends on whom you talk to in Washington.
Some say the new recommendations by the Federal Reserve Board were the result of congressional pressure and public outcry.
Others say that regulators, stung by their own inaction in the subprime mortgage meltdown, feared a similar mistake would cause the growing credit crisis to snowball.
While there's disagreement about what sparked the move, even the most jaded political observers now agree that, after years of complaints, relief is finally on the way for cardholders who feel victimized by their plastic.
"I've not seen anything like this out of the Federal Reserve ever," said Travis Plunkett, the legislative director of the Consumer Federation of America. "These problems have been coming up for a decade, and they've been asleep at the switch. But that's changing. It's a new world."
And not a moment too soon for such folks as Kathi Parlier of Newnan, Ga., whose credit card interest rate jumped from about 7 percent to 32 percent in 2004 after a property foreclosure damaged her credit rating. Parlier, 42, said she'd never made a late payment on the card.
"I could deal with it going to 12 to 15 percent, but considering I was never late, they never should have gone up on it like that," Parlier said. "They shouldn't be able to do that."
New rules proposed by the Fed wouldn't stop rate increases like Parlier's, which are known as "universal defaults." But they would prohibit card companies from applying the higher rate to the existing card balance — unless the cardholder was more than 30 days late on his or her bill.
That provision alone would have saved Parlier thousands of dollars. Her card balance was nearly $7,000 when the rate hike kicked in. The higher interest rate — now about 29 percent — means only a small portion of her payments go toward her debt.
"I paid $160 last month and $108 of that was finance charges, so I've only got $52 going to principal," Parlier said. "I always pay a little more than the minimum, otherwise I would never get it paid off."
The Fed's new recommendations were drafted in concert with the Office of Thrift Supervision and the National Credit Union Administration.
The recommendations call for credit card companies to stop imposing interest charges using the "two-cycle" billing method, which calculates interest for a single billing cycle based on the average balance of the last two billing cycles. Another proposal requires card payments received by 5 p.m. on the due date to be considered on time.
Other proposals would limit fees that reduce available credit on subprime credit cards and require credit solicitations to disclose the factors used to determine an applicant's interest rate and credit limits. Related proposals by the Fed would require banks to give customers notice and the opportunity to opt out of transactions involving account overdrafts before punitive fees and charges are imposed.
In the public comments that have begun pouring into the Federal Reserve, consumers are unanimous in their support for the recommendations and for Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's leadership on the issue.
"I urge you to rein in the banks and credit card companies. The table has tilted their way entirely too long and needs to be tipped back in favor of the consumers. Thank you for finally moving on this matter," wrote Vernon Sandusky of Vacaville, Calif.
Monte L. Burnworth of West Liberty, Ohio, said his experience with a universal default rate hike was traumatizing. "It made me so stressed out that I had to borrow against our house to pay the LEACHES off. ...If I had my way I would make them pay all the interest back plus 30 percent interest and see how they slept at night."
Ann Downey of Laguna Hills, Calif., was equally upset: "It seems that the last seven or so years that banks and credit card companies have had their way, like the floodgates opened and the consumers' rights got washed away in the flood."
Alicia Borgman of Columbus, Ohio, wrote: "Creditors should not have the right to change the contract agreed upon by them and the consumer at any time, without any oversight or approval, as they currently do. If a contract is a legally binding agreement, both parties should be held to it, not just the consumer."
The value of a robust public response shouldn't be underestimated.
During a congressional hearing in April, Sandra F. Braunstein, director of the Federal Reserve's Division of Consumer and Community Affairs, testified that the strong comments from the public on improving credit card statements and disclosures were "startling."
"We had over 2,000 letters on the credit card proposal from individuals that were truly personal and individually written about people's personal experience with their cards," Braunstein told lawmakers. "We've never had that on any rulemaking before. So I have to tell you, that resonated with us."
The banking and credit card lobby have criticized the proposals as an unwarranted intrusion into industry practices. Other industry groups say the proposals hurt card issuers' ability to set interest rates based on a customer's risk.
Consumer advocates expect the industry's lobbying effort against the measures and related legislative proposals in Congress to reach fever pitch in the coming months.
"I just hope things don't get watered down with lobbyist money," wrote Anthony Shelton of Gary, Ind. "Someone should have the guts to stand up for the American people."

A New York based Melodic Rock band fronted by Gene Marchello, the son of GOOD RATS main man Peppi Marchello. MARCHELLO were, needless to say, produced on their 1989 'Destiny' album on CBS Records by the elder of the two men. The record was notable for its lavish and highly accomplished guitar work. Bassist Nick Dimichino was also a GOOD RATS man. Drummer John Miceli held a tradition with both the GOOD RATS and with MEAT LOAF.
Throughout the 1980s, Peppi Marchello continued to write and produce recordings with his son Gene. They toured locally for a while under the name "Popzarocca" until the song "First Love" became a minor hit for the band (now renamed "Marchello"), with the music video receiving minor airplay on MTV's Headbanger's Ball. This band featured Gene on guitar and lead vocals and also included drummer John Miceli (Meatloaf, Rainbow, "We Will Rock You"). The band recorded two albums (only one which was released).

MIAMI - The Miami Heat acquired University of Connecticut point guard Shabazz Napier via a trade in the 2014 NBA Draft.
Miami traded its first-round pick, No. 26 overall, and two second-round picks to the Charlotte Hornets to move up two spots to grab Napier with the 24th selection Thursday night.
The trade satisfies free agent-to-be LeBron James, who expressed his satisfaction via Twitter, saying Napier is his "favorite player in the draft."
"We are very fortunate to have drafted Shabazz and feel very excited about him and what he can bring," Heat President Pat Riley said in a statement.
Napier looks forward to sharing the court with the current team players.
"They'll put me in great situations and I'll put them in great situations," he said.
Napier appeared in a school-record 143 career games (98 starts) for the Huskies in leading his team to the 2014 national championship. He averaged 13.7 points, 4.5 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.76 steals and 32.3 minutes while shooting 41.1 percent from the field, 37.5 percent from three-point range and 81.3 percent from the foul line. He totaled 1,959 points while dishing out 646 assists, becoming the only player in school history to total at least 1,500 points and 500 assists.

HERMITAGE Park plan gets boost from state
The project is a joint effort between Hermitage and a private developer.
By HAROLD GWIN
VINDICATOR SHARON BUREAU
HERMITAGE, Pa. -- The city's plan to help develop Gateway Commerce Park on Pa. Route 18 got a major boost with the announcement that the state will put up $2.5 million for the project.
State and local officials were to gather at the municipal building today to reveal state support for the planned technical park from Pennsylvania's capital budget grant program.
The 110-acre site will be a combination municipal-private partnership between the city and KAKE Development Co. of Hermitage, according to the capital budget grant application filed by the city in May 2000.
The park is to be developed in three phases.
KAKE development already owns the 16-acre first phase and the 32-acre second phase and has one tenant, Regional Cardiology Center, in the first phase.
To buy property: The city intends to buy the remaining 60-plus acres in conjunction with KAKE and had indicated earlier this year that some computer-related businesses are interested in the area.
The land is the former Chadderton Airport property.
The capital budget grant will be used to help buy the land and extend utility lines into the second- and third-phase portions of the park.
The state assistance must be matched with local funds, and the application relied on KAKE's ownership and previous improvements in the first two phases as a big part of that match. The city is also putting up $250,000 from its municipal land bank program, as well as other funds.
The total project cost has been estimated at $5.7 million.
The state grant includes $400,000 for recreational development around the park. It will be open to the public, and will include walkways, trees and a greenway buffer and landscaping.
The development plan submitted with the application shows 59 building lots, with eight in phase one, 20 in phase two and the rest in phase three.

Good morning. Here are the news making the rounds today 17-08-2016.
Manchester United will offer Argentina defender Marcos Rojo, 26, to Southampton as part of a deal to sign Saints captain Jose Fonte. Arsenal also want the 32-year-old Portugal centre-back.
Southampton have offered Fonte a new contract that would put him among their top earners.
England goalkeeper Joe Hart, 29, will leave Manchester City this month as they have agreed a £17m deal with Barcelona to sign Chile international Claudio Bravo, 33.
Everton and Sevilla are interested in Hart, whose contract runs until 2019.
Midfielder Cesc Fabregas, 29, will fight for his Chelsea future – despite being left out in favour of new signing N’Golo Kante, 25, by new boss Antonio Conte.
Leicester want to keep Ghana left-back Jeffrey Schlupp, and have rejected two bids for the 23-year-old from West Brom.
Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney, 30, will not be offered a contract extension for at least 18 months. The England striker’s contract runs until the summer of 2019 but he must now prove he is worth an increase on his £300,000-a-week wages.
Everton and Inter Milan want Newcastle attacking midfielder Moussa Sissoko but the 27-year-old would like to join Real Madrid.
Liverpool want a straight £30m for Christian Benteke. They rejected a £30m deal from Crystal Palace because the fee came with add-ons, including Alan Pardew’s side qualifying for the Champions League.
Pardew is facing mounting discontent from a number of players over the handling of his decision to strip Mile Jedinak of the club captaincy and install Scott Dann in the role.
Watford have agreed a £13m deal to sign Juventus and Argentina midfielder Roberto Pereyra, 25.
Algeria winger Riyad Mahrez, 25, would only be tempted leave Leicester for “two or three clubs”.

The Hammers have been unable to increase their capacity to 60,000 for their first home Premier League game at their new stadium against Bournemouth on Saturday. Newham Council has limited the attendance to 57,000 – after too many home fans stood for long spells during the first two matches in the all-seater stadium.
Sunderland’s 30-year-old French defender Younes Kaboul is close to signing for Watford.
Barcelona are close to agreeing a deal with Valencia for 22-year-old Spain striker Paco Alcacer.
Former Liverpool striker Fernando Torres believes he was portrayed as a “traitor” following his controversial departure to Chelsea five years ago and says the team has not progressed since he left.
A fundraising dinner at Wembley last month to celebrate the 50th anniversary of England’s World Cup victory resulted in a financial loss of £220,000.
Uefa is considering changing the format of the Champions League so the top four teams from the top four European leagues would qualify automatically.
West Ham captain Mark Noble believes referees need help from video replays before a player is seriously injured.

Spirituality is important for many people. It can help you feel grounded, while at the same time giving you the feeling that you are in direct contact with nature and people around you. Doesn’t that sound great? Spirituality can mean a lot of things, though. In general spirituality is described as seeking something bigger than ourselves. Spiritual people seek the meaning of life. Often we lose track of our own spirituality. This can be caused by many things. Take depression; this can disrupt your inner spirituality tremendously. A free online psychic reading could help you resolve problems you have concerning your spirituality.
How does a spiritual healing work?
A free reading psychic online puts you in contact with a medium or spiritual healer. We often group these people together under the term “psychic,” so don’t be alarmed if you think a psychic reading online doesn’t include talking with healers. This healer will help you discover what is getting in the way of your spirituality. If you are overwhelmed by fear, depression, stress, illness or feel generally underwhelmed by life, you can talk to a healer. Many people leave an online psychic reading feeling refreshed and overall ready to take on life with a positive attitude again. Spirituality is a broad concept, but talking to a professional healer in a free reading online will certainly put you back on the right path!

After several dalliances with the big time (see Deltron 3030 and Gorillaz), Del the Funkee Homosapien is still keeping things underground. This is an MC who deliberately stepped away from the mainstream to hone his skills via deep immersion with the Bay Area crew Hieroglyphics. He just released a triple album, Golden Era, full of beats that bring to mind the spirit of West Coast rap circa 15 years ago. And, keeping in mind that he released his first album in 1991, his lyrical skills have not suffered.
“I make records even if you don't buy 'em,” he said on a recent single, and that's a sentiment from an artist who truly enjoys his craft. Check his Bandcamp page and pay what you like for several different releases.—Finn Cohen

Hope S. Rugo, MD, leads the discussion on the new data presented at the 2021 ASCO annual meeting for MammaPrint and Breast Cancer Index for early stage HR+ breast cancer.
Andrew D. Seidman, MD: Hope, there are 2 other issues on assays that I want you to touch on for us. Then we’ll finish talking about CDK4/6 inhibition prospects for early breast cancer. There was a new term that came up at ASCO [the American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting] that I was unaware of. The term is ultralow-risk, as applied to MammaPrint. There are some new data with that. Maybe you can talk a little about what that has told us and how it might impact practice. The second issue relates to the use of the Breast Cancer Index, some new data from B-42 and other studies helping us better understand the use of this assay for extended adjuvant aromatase inhibitor [AI]. First, we’ll go with ultralow-risk MammaPrint. What is this, and what do we do with it?
Hope S. Rugo, MD: As you recall, the 70-gene score or MammaPrint is yes or no. What this represents is a further definition of that score, which is incredibly important. There are actually 2 further definitions: ultralow and ultrahigh. We call ultrahigh MammaPrint 2, but in I-SPY, that will be a very important differentiation, too. Ultralow came about when Laura Esserman, MD, and Laura van ‘t Veer, PhD, at my institution were very interested in looking at an older data set of patients where there was long-term follow-up. Some got tamoxifen and some didn’t get any endocrine therapy. They looked at a lot of postmenopausal women to try to identify a score that represented a group of patients whose prognosis was so good that they wouldn’t benefit from anything much.
This was a retrospective analysis, but plus-1 is really low, and minus-1 is really high in MammaPrint, for everybody to be on the same page. If you had a score that was above 0.355, you were ultralow-risk. In that initial publication, it showed that those patients had an excellent outcome both with and without tamoxifen. In these analyses, of which there were 2, one was looking at the extended use of endocrine therapy and later recurrence risk in a population of patients who were evaluated for MINDACT. These patients seem to have better outcomes. If you have a very low risk, it indicates a very indolent cancer.
My caveat on that is we haven’t identified that those patients don’t need endocrine therapy. I wouldn’t take that as the take-home message. We should use endocrine therapy, but it may be that it doesn’t matter which endocrine therapy you use. Then if a patient really doesn’t tolerate endocrine therapy, some is better than none. In terms of disease burden, we don’t actually know what the recurrence risk will be at 10-plus years in this patient population, à la the Early Breast Cancer Trialists’ Collaborative Group analysis. But we know they don’t need chemotherapy. That is absolutely for sure, and they don’t need huge therapy.
Andrew D. Seidman, MD: I want to point out that the end point examined for this is 8-year distant metastasis-free interval, which was excellent at 95% to 98% for these patients who are largely node-negative T1 grade 1/2. I don’t know what 8-year distant metastasis-free interval means for a younger patient in this disease category.
Hope S. Rugo, MD: It’s important to keep in mind that very few young patients have ultralow scores. It shows you in our clinical practice, in our metastatic studies, and the studies of ovarian function suppression that young women tend to have more highly proliferative disease, and they don’t generally fall into this ultralow-risk category. You’re right; we don’t know what to do with them. Although we all wish that the Breast Cancer Index would give us an absolute yes or no answer, it doesn’t seem to have done that either.
The analysis of the NSABP [National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project] extended-duration endocrine therapy with AI was quite complicated. It’s interesting. It looked like there was almost a carry-over effect, that if you had a high-risk score and you gave extended-duration aromatase inhibitor therapy, you saw the benefit later, as you might expect, because you get a carry-over from your first 5 years for the first few years. It complicates it and suggests that you may be differentiating the group of patients who benefit from longer-term aromatase inhibitor therapy, but that we’re going to need even longer follow-up of the NSABP trial to really understand that true benefit.
Andrew D. Seidman, MD: Now, we’ll shift gears from MammaPrint to the Breast Cancer Index. What do you think of the evolving data on using that gene ratio to help parse the decision for 5 vs 10 years? Who are you thinking about? Is it the N1 patient, the N2 patient, the N0 patient?
Hope S. Rugo, MD: That’s what I was just describing from the carry-over effect with the Breast Cancer Index, the fascinating data that tell us a lot about the natural history of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Interestingly, in the MA.17 trial, if you took tamoxifen, we saw a difference from extended endocrine therapy with letrozole at 3 years. But in a striking contrast, if you’d had an AI before, you couldn’t differentiate benefit based on the Breast Cancer Index in the first few years after randomization vs taking a placebo vs letrozole. I thought it was really interesting that there’s a carry-over effect from the AI. We presume that it seems to play a role there. This was an unplanned analysis. Then you did see a separation of the curves later, suggesting that you have your impact later, which is fascinating. It suggests that we need longer-term follow-up.
Where would I use the score? It’s hard to know, because in patients who have node-positive disease and seem to have a higher risk of later recurrence, they continue to have a higher risk throughout the time period. You might just want to give the drug if they tolerate it. I’m not sure that the score is helping me decide enough. We haven’t seen this with the NSABP trial. The score might be more beneficial in the patients where we have equipoise, a T2N0 cancer, more than the node-positive. It’s a confusing situation, and I’m interested in what others think.
Andrew D. Seidman, MD: Clearly, we can let the assay alone drive the decision, but probably none of us do that. We factor in how the patient felt during those first 5 years on an AI, what their bone health is like, etc.
Dejan Juric, MD: What is clear from all of this, Andrew and Hope, is that we need something much more than these static profiles or markers. We are desperate to understand something that’s functional about these tumors and use of these dynamic markers. Obviously, in its first iteration, we rely on the old Ki-67 approach, but looking at delta after initiation of a certain period of systemic therapy, to me, that’s exciting. To this extent, the ADAPT and ALTERNATE trials are somewhat interesting because they’re trying to get to this dynamic dimension of these tumors. Another thing that’s really fascinating to me is that we are using staging or grading or biology insights from these profiles to infer the behavior of these tumors. What we really care about is the metastatic clone that could be hiding somewhere. To this extent, further studies in minimal residual disease and the detection of that residual disease with highly sensitive liquid biopsy approaches are where we should go next. I’m sure Aditya can speak about some of the investigations in this space.
Andrew D. Seidman, MD: You’re absolutely right. We’re making decisions based on a gene profile from a tumor that was resected 5 years ago, as opposed to what’s happening at the moment.
