Kick-Start Dramatic Change in Accounts Receivable Through Remote Deposit Capture
In 2004, the United States of America passed legislation to enable the adoption of technology to reduce the movement of paper checks. The technology not only allows check truncation to facilitate remote deposits, but also enhance security, reduce costs, and mitigate risk, aspects of interest to corporate offices around the world.
In countries where business growth is rapid and consumers are spread across a wide geography, remote check deposit can simplify the deposit process and help companies capture deposit details irrespective of the location they are presented, a valuable benefit for consolidation of accounts and cash management.
A New Technology
Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) technology has been around for more than a decade now and the features and functionality have matured significantly, a benefit to global regions just beginning to accept the technology. Top RDC vendors provide solutions that cater to every type of customer and their differing volumes while filtering items to a central processing platform. While a mobile RDC solution is ideal for the retail business client with a low number of checks to submit, a web application is more suitable for mid-sized companies who handle a moderate amount of business transactions. Commercial businesses with a high volume of deposits may require a desktop client on an on-site workstation. The most efficient RDC systems provide an easy and intuitive user experience to submit deposits to a centralized processing platform. A centralized platform provides the advantages of system-wide administrative features and reporting capabilities across deposit stations, no matter where they are located.
Growing Global Adoption of RDC
Brazil, Canada, China, India and Mexico are all in various stages of implementing check truncation. With growing economies, these countries are experiencing an increase in financial services transaction activity. Additionally, in these countries, the geographic spread of financial services locations is vast and transporting checks from one location to the other is costly and time-consuming.
In Brazil, deferred payment purchase plans are very popular and hence this translates to a number of postdated checks being issued. The size of the country and the time for transportation makes RDC a very useful solution here.
In Mexico, RDC was introduced for businesses in 2005 and has seen a lot of success in usage. And modernizing Canada's payments system is a key focus for the Canadian Payments Association.
India has had a successful pilot run of check truncation in New Delhi and is poised to extend it to other parts of the country. Banks in India now have made it mandatory for customers to use physical checks that are image-technology compliant. Today Banks in India which do not have presence in large part of the country depend on Bank-appointed agents (coordinators) to pick up checks from customers of Corporates and clear these checks through a correspondent bank. Alternatively, checks require transport to the bank's processing center. In both these scenarios, the time required for giving the finality to the check will be four to five days at best, leading to inefficiency in accounts receivable. Properly applied, RDC would make a significant impact on these processes.

Benefits to Corporates
There are five major benefits for corporates seeking to adopt RDC technology:
• Improve cash flow – Receive faster access to funds and longer deposit acceptance windows.
• Streamline accounts receivable – electronically capture accounts receivable data during the electronic deposit process, eliminating redundant data entry and saving on cost of labor. RDC capability from within an accounting software package provides even more efficiency.
• Reduced processing costs – eliminates transport of paper checks to the bank, which reduces cost of labor and the cost of transportation, etc.
• Paperless record keeping – shifts to electronic reports of deposit activity and check images, which is more efficient, more easily searchable, and requires less storage space.
• Environmental preservation – reduces a corporate's carbon footprint related to transportation and paper consumption.
More Secure Than Paper-Based Processes
Early reluctance in the US to electronify paper-based processes was soon replaced with realization that the technology's systematic controls were more accurate and efficient than human review. Advancements in imaging technology and configurable controls ensures that risk items, such as duplicates, fraudulent items, and high dollar items, are flagged and reviewed by a human before entering the deposit stream.
Competitive RDC solutions provide comprehensive reporting to ensure the corporate has ready access to details of violations, trends, exceptions, and risk items, as well as full access to the history of items deposited and status of items in process.
To ensure secure access, RDC must encrypt data transmissions of data and images as well as provide strong authentication and multi-factor authentication capability. The corporate must have the ability to mask sensitive data fields for security and confidentiality of its customers.
Future Advantage
As RDC adoption accelerates on a global scale, corporates will find a competitive edge in the ability to efficiently manage accounts receivable and optimize working capital. High quality RDC platforms provide the security, reporting, and audit trails necessary to replace paper-based processing of check payments.

By Attorney Donna Ballman
Special to THELAW.TV
Did you hear about the gun columnist who was fired for writing that the Second Amendment has limits? Oh, the irony. But what, you ask, about the First Amendment? Isn't he protected by the right to free speech? Can't he express his opinions without fear of being fired?
I've said it in my book and I'll say it again: there is no free speech in corporate America. The First Amendment protects us from government action, not the actions of private companies. That means you can be fired because your private employer doesn't like what you said, with very few exceptions. Even government employees have very little free speech protection.
Indeed, there's been a rash of firings and disciplines for expressing opinions, in and out of work. Justine Sacco, PR executive for Daily Beast owner IAC, was fired for posting, on a flight to South Africa, "Going to Africa. Hope I don't get AIDS. Just kidding. I'm white!" The company was embarrassed when the tweet went viral. Business Insider forced their Chief Technology Officer Pax Dickinson to resign after he tweeted, "feminism in tech remains my champion topic for my block list. my finger is getting tired." And who can forget Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson, suspended (and then quickly reinstated) after making racist and homophobic comments in an Esquire interview. The First Amendment didn't limit what any of these employers could do.
Still, not all speech is unprotected. Here are some circumstances where your speech might have some legal protection:
Concerted activity: The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). NLRA says in Section 7: "Employees shall have the right to self-organization, . . . to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection . . . ." That means if you get together with coworkers, or take action on behalf of at least one other coworker (not just on your own behalf), to protest or try to change working conditions, your speech may be protected.
Objecting to discrimination: If you speak out against workplace discrimination based on race, sex, religion, national origin, disability, pregnancy, age, or some other protected status, you are protected against retaliation by Title VII, the federal law prohibiting discrimination, and possibly your state anti-discrimination laws.
Political affiliation: Some states, counties, and cities have laws prohibiting discrimination based on political affiliation.
Objecting to illegal activity: If your speech was objecting to an illegal activity of your employer, you might be a protected whistleblower.
Activity outside work: Some states and localities prohibit employers for firing or disciplining employees for legal activities outside work. However, even those laws have exceptions for activity that affects the employer's reputation or the ability of the employee to do their job.
Contract: If you have a contract saying you can only be fired for cause, then check what is says constitutes "cause." Offending customers and coworkers probably is "cause" under most contracts. Many contracts have "morals" clauses that allow firing for anything the employer deems to be inappropriate.
Before you spout off at work or in social media about something your employer, customers, or coworkers might deem offensive, remember how little legal protection you have. Watch what you say, and especially what you email, text or post, even while you're at home, or risk being fired.
The author, Donna Ballman, is an employment attorney in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and author of Stand Up For Yourself Without Getting Fired.

One of my favorite pasta dishes of all. I've seen this made several ways in food blogger-land and in restaurants, and I even have my own take on it. I use a basic recipe from mario batali at babbo. Mario has some of the most perfect Italian dishes ever; yes I know he's Italian, but he truly has the perfect touch on Italian cuisine. Have you ever been to babbo in nyc? You must go, if you are an avid Italian-foodie. They have this dish called " sweet potato lune with sage and amaretti" that is, the oh, how do I describe it in words for you? Heaven, heavenly, perfect pairing of pasta, sweet potato and a touch of amaretti? And before I forget, this is important, mario batali has the best basic tomato sauce I've ever come across. I make it all the time when I want a fresh tasting tomato sauce. That same sauce is used in this recipe and is a perfect sauce for making large batches and freezing and/or canning; you can use it on almost all of your Italian red sauce recipes. Something about his tomato sauce is just right: the right balance in acidity with sweet. Try it sometime, I think you might grow to like it as I have done over the decade, plus it's very easy for anyone just starting out in cooking Italian cuisine.
What I do to this recipe, which can be found here, I add chopped roasted red peppers to this right after I sauteed the red onions. I've always like the extra taste of the roasted peppers. If you can find guanciale please use it; if not then pancetta will do. Please note my changes.
Bucatini all'amatriciana
From babbo
¾ pound guanciale, or pancetta, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves
1 red onion medium size, halved & sliced ½-inch thick
1 roasted red pepper, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 ½ teaspoons hot red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 ½ cups basic tomato sauce (I used 1 cup, see below for recipe)
1 pound bucatini
1 bunch of flat-leaf parsley, leaves only
Pecorino Romano, for grating
Being 6 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons of salt.
Place the guanciale slices in a 12- to 14-inch sauté pan in a single layer and cook over medium-low heat until most of the fat has been rendered from the meat, turning occasionally.
Remove the meat to a plate lined with paper towels and discard half the fat (I never discard the fat, only a 1/4 of it; you need some of the fat for flavor), leaving enough to coat the garlic, onion and red pepper flakes.
Return the guanciale to the pan with the vegetables, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, or until the onions, garlic and guanciale are light golden brown. Season with salt and pepper, add the tomato sauce, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Cook the bucatini in the boiling water according to the package directions, until al dente. Drain the pasta and add it to the simmering sauce. Add the parsley leaves, increase the heat to high and toss to coat. Divide the pasta among four warmed pasta bowls. Top with freshly grated Pecorino cheese and serve immediately.
Basic Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large Spanish onion, chopped in 1/4-inch dice
4 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves, or 1 tablespoon dried
1/2 medium carrot (I use one large carrot), finely shredded
2 (28-ounce) cans peeled whole tomatoes, crushed by hand & juices reserved
Salt, to taste
In a 3-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until soft and light golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the thyme and carrot, and cook 5 minutes more, until the carrot is quite soft. Add the tomatoes and juice and bring to a boil, stirring often. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes until as thick as hot cereal. Season with salt and serve. This sauce holds 1 week in the refrigerator or up to 6 months in the freezer. Should make 4 cups.

AD, coach and mentor Daluga dies
Don Daluga came to Pontiac Township High School in the early 1960s and retired in the early 1990s. During that time he made a lasting impression on students, faculty and members of the community.
On Thursday, Mr. Daluga passed away in Indiana. He was 84.
Mr. Daluga came to Pontiac as a teacher and coach from Chenoa. He spent one year as an assistant football coach under Aubra Williamson before taking the reins of the program.
"He was a good coach and a friend to all the players and the guys," Bill Alvey said Thursday afternoon. Alvey played for Daluga for the 1963 and '64 seasons.
"Even when my son was playing he would come by and give the guys motivation. He always had something to say in a positive way," Alvey added.
Mr. Daluga was the head coach for the Indians from the 1962 season to the end of the 1969 campaign. He compiled a 27-37-8 record and was chosen the Class A Athletic Director of the Year in 1986.
Mr. Daluga assumed athletic duties from Williamson a couple of years into his tenure at PTHS. He remained as athletic director until the end of the 1992 school year, when he retired from education.
"Don was a valuable member of the faculty and well known in the community," said Roger Tuttle, who came to PTHS as principal in 1972. "He was a good representative of the school in the community."
Tuttle said he first met Mr. Daluga while still an administrator at Morton in the 1960s. Morton was looking at leaving the Illio Conference and joining the Corn Belt.
"He was a right-hand man in everything we did," Tuttle said.
Mr. Daluga was athletic director during some leans years in the program and during some memorable events.
Larry Exton took over the football program from Mr. Daluga and suffered serious injuries in an automobile accident, forcing the athletic director into getting an interim coach for the team.
Mr. Daluga was part of the Pontiac Holiday Tournament administration for years, including when the Indians won their only title in 1974.
In 1989, Mr. Daluga was instrumental in bringing Mick Peterson to Pontiac to direct the football program. Peterson's success speaks for itself.
Along the way, Mr. Daluga was a positive influence on faculty, staff and students.
"Don was one of the best," said Jim Drengwitz, former PTHS coach, teacher, guidance counselor, principal and current PHT director. "He was an outstanding athletic director. He was a great mentor when I got to Pontiac.
"Kids loved him," Drengwitz added. "Don was tough; he didn't put up with stuff but the kids loved Don."
He retired in 1992 and was selected as part of the inaugural class into the Illinois Athletic Directors Association Hall of Fame in 1996.
Upon Mr. Daluga's election, the late PTHS Supt. Dr. Ron Yates, had this to say, "In his 30-year association with Pontiac High School, Don has had more influence over the lives of our young people than any other single individual. His leadership has been a positive force for the young people of our community."
A program highlighting the inaugural inductees also noted that Mr. Daluga became involved with the association in 1966, serving as vice president three terms as well as serving on the executive board.
Mr. Daluga continued to be a familiar face at Pontiac events even after he retired. He was involved at many sporting events until his death. His familiar smile was evident at football games, in the stands at basketball games and in helping with track meets.
Mr. Daluga was also one who was happy to meet people new to the community and make them feel welcome, including a new sports editor to the local newspaper in November 1994.
"He was a loyal friend. He had a high stature in the community," Tuttle said. "He's a guy who will be missed in the community."
Calvert & Martin Funeral Home of Pontiac has charge of arrangements.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Brian Kelly walked off the tarmac, hopped aboard one of Notre Dame's team buses that bore his image on the side and grinned broadly as he sat in the driver's seat.
Soon, the Notre Dame coach will know if his team -- or Alabama -- will finish college football's season in that proverbial spot.
The top-ranked Fighting Irish landed in South Florida on Wednesday, not long before the arrival of the second-ranked Crimson Tide. The teams meet Monday night to decide the Discover BSC national championship, a matchup that was set more than a month ago, the hype growing with each passing day.
"Going to play the national championship game in Miami, it's not like any trip that they've had before," Kelly said. "It's not like any trip that I've had before. And so there was an anticipation that when we got on the buses to the airport that they were really excited about this trip. It's something that you dream about when you play this game and when you coach this game."
For Notre Dame -- at least for this current batch of Fighting Irish -- this is all new, as one of the game's most storied programs has not won the national title since the 1988 season. For Alabama, the hubbub that goes with the BCS title game is familiar, as the Tide is trying to win its second straight crown and third in four years.
And for Alabama coach Nick Saban, it was a return to his former home. Saban coached the Miami Dolphins before going to the Crimson Tide, famously saying toward the end of his tenure in South Florida that he wasn't "going to be the Alabama coach."
He was hired by the Tide not long afterward.
Yet on Wednesday, Saban -- first off the Alabama plane -- was greeted like a visiting dignitary, with about a dozen TV cameras and twice that many reporters on hand to record the event.
"It's great to be back in South Florida," he said. "It's the first time we've been to the Orange Bowl. I'm sure these people here are going to do a great job of providing tremendous hospitality for our players and our entire family."
Grand welcomes were executed for both teams, including water cannon sprays over their planes and greetings from local officials and members of the Orange Bowl Committee. Notre Dame landed in Fort Lauderdale, Alabama in Miami, the teams about equidistant from Sun Life Stadium -- the site of Monday's showdown for the title.
Police escorts awaited the bus caravans, and all players were getting a gift bag that some started digging through immediately, even before leaving the airport.
"It's `Rudy' vs. `Forrest Gump," Notre Dame wide receiver Robby Toma said, referring to the still-popular films that featured the Irish and the Tide. "Both very storied programs, a bunch of national championships and we're excited to compete with the best because that's how you become the best."
And work is left in both Notre Dame's and Alabama's quest to finish at No. 1. Both teams are set to return to the practice field on Thursday, with workouts scheduled throughout the remainder of the week.
"We've got to do a little work this week," Kelly said. "But we feel good about our preparation."
Dozens of players, coaches and guests on the Notre Dame flight took photos of the mass of reporters, Broward Sheriff's officers and fans when they deplaned, a few carrying video cameras and a couple even tossed oranges -- a nod to the Orange Bowl Committee -- from one hand to another.
Kelly said Notre Dame will find ways to mix fun and relaxation with the element of it being a business trip as well.
"All the people that were looking out the window were pretty much amazed to see the kind of draw that this game has," Kelly said.
On the Alabama side, reserve offensive lineman Arie Koundjio had to be treated for dehydration when the plane landed, and tight end Harrison Jones did not travel with the team for what Saban called medical reasons. He's expected to arrive Thursday.

Also known as gynecomastia, breast reduction for men is the surgical correction of over-developed or enlarged breasts in men.
Gynecomastia is a medical term that originates from the Greek words for "women-like breasts." This condition is far more common than many realize. Gynecomastia affects an estimated 40 to 60 percent of the male population. It may affect only one breast or both. Although certain drugs such as anabolic steroids, medications containing estrogen, alcohol, marijuana, etc., and medical conditions including cancer, impaired liver function, to name a few, may cause or contribute to enlarged male breasts, it is widely accepted that a large percentage of cases derive from unknown sources.
Men of any age who are healthy and emotionally stable are considered good candidates for male breast reduction surgery. The best candidates are those who have firm, elastic skin that will reshape to the body's new contours. In some instances, surgery may be discouraged for overweight men who have not first tried an exercise and diet regimen.
Enlarged male breasts can be reduced by liposuction and/or by cutting out excess glandular tissue. The procedure for male breast reduction takes an average of two hours, usually on an outpatient basis, using general or local anesthesia. If excessive glandular tissue, fat and skin is present, it will be removed.
Surgery may be performed alone or in conjunction with lipoplasty, where the suction device will typically be inserted through the existing incisions. For the removal of excess fatty tissue alone, liposuction may be all that is needed; in such cases, scars will be small and barely visible.

Do you think Dr Polak actually reads the Pali personally? He does have copious Pali quotations, but I get the feel that he's actually relying on English translations. One giveaway was this comment -
I could not trace this anywhere in DN 9. The closest that comes to it is Ven Thanissaro's faulty translation -On the other hand, in the Pot.t.hapāda Sutta (DN 9), the last stage of the process of meditation is simply described as cessation. But the Pot.t.hapāda Sutta gets into trouble when it attempts to describe this stage of 'cessation'. According to this sutta, in this stage one finally lays to rest the activity of vitakka and vicāra. It appears that the compiler of the sutta must have forgotten that vitakka and vicāra are gone already in the second jhāna.
The PTS and Walshe translations both correctly translate "imā ca me saññā nirujjheyyuṃ" to mean that "these perceptions of mine would cease" (both imā and nirujjheyyuṃ being in the plural). It looks like Polak was using a faulty English translation of DN 9 to criticise the poor redactor of the Pali!(on reaching the attainment of Nothingness)-
Now, when the monk is percipient of himself here, then from there to there, step by step, he touches the peak of perception. As he remains at the peak of perception, the thought occurs to him, 'Thinking is bad for me. Not thinking is better for me. If I were to think and will, this perception of mine would cease, and a grosser perception would appear. What if I were neither to think nor to will?' [3] So he neither thinks nor wills, and as he is neither thinking nor willing, that perception ceases [4] and another, grosser perception does not appear. He touches cessation. This, Potthapada, is how there is the alert [5] step-by step attainment of the ultimate cessation of perception.
I don't even know where he found the nouns vitakka and vicāra in DN 9's discussion of ultimate cessation, since that passage discusses the verbs ceteti and abhisaṅkharoti instead.

Eskymos pin Blue Devils in team district
SAULT STE. MARIE — With a flurry of pins the Escanaba Eskymos took control early in a Division 2 team wrestling district Wednesday night.
The Eskymos held off a rally in the upper weight classes by Sault High, and prevailed 53-30 over the Blue Devils for the district championship.
The Blue Devils were dealt a difficult hand before the match began. Michael James was unable to wrestle due to an ankle ligament injury suffered in basketball pre-game Monday night at Pickford. Making matters worse for the Blue Devils, their 119-pounder did not make weight, leaving coach Del Craven shuffling his lineup from the get-go.
"We knew we were in a tough position going in," Craven said. "We had to bump everyone up a weight class from 125 through 171. We gave it our best, but the odds were stacked against us."
It was the ninth straight team district championship for the Eskymos, who advance to team regionals at Mount Pleasant Feb. 13.
"We knew coming in that the Sault matched up with us real well this year," Escanaba coach Jamie Segorski said. "Credit to our kids for pulling this one out and making things go in our favor.
"We came in and beat the scale first," Segorski said. "We had no problems at weigh in. Then we wrestled well on the mat."
Marquette was also scheduled to be part of the three-team district, but the Redmen could not field a complete team and did not make the trip.
Winning the first four matches by pins and the fifth by major decision, the Eskymos stormed to a big lead. Zach Priebe (125 pounds), Tyler Adams (132), Kaleb Rahoi (135) and Kevin Priebe (140) registered consecutive pins to start the dual match.
The Eskymos finished with six pins overall, and won two matches by forfeit. Kevin Priebe prevailed in a close contest, pinning Sault High's Michael Davis in 4:21 of their 140-pound match, which gave Esky a 29-0 lead.
"Kevin Preibe's third period pin was a key one to get us rolling," Segorski said. "He's a real scrapper, and he fought all the way through it. It was nice to jump out to an early lead. That gave us a chance to rest Alec Slaga. He's coming off a little injury, so we forfeited at 152 to let him get healthy."
The Blue Devils got on the scoreboard via a forfeit, as Steven Kymes was uncontested at 152 pounds. Kymes is the reigning U.P. champion at 145.
Esky's Travis Heller pinned Henry Lopez to give the Eskymos a 35-6 edge.
But the Sault registered four straight pins between 171 and heavyweight to get within 35-30. Chris Freeborn, Nathan LaJoie, Austin Brown and Nickolas Horton recorded pins for the Blue Devils. Freeborn and Brown had the Sault's fastest pins, in 36 and 49 seconds, respectively.
"I've only been wrestling two years," Brown said. "It was nice to win my last match here. Hopefully this will get me going into individual districts."
Horton was trailing 6-0 in the third period before pinning Bill Soper at the 5:01 mark.
"He (Horton) had lost to that kid at Munising over the holidays," Craven said. "He was down but never gave up. He's a good wrestler."
Esky stopped the Blue Devils' momentum in the next match as Sergei LaMarche pinned Thomas Merchberger at 103 pounds, avenging a loss earlier this season from the Northern Michigan Championships in Gaylord.
Esky won the final two matches (112 and 119) by forfeit.
Sault High and Escanaba wrestlers are among 14 schools participating in Division 2 individual districts Saturday at Escanaba. The top four in each weight class advance to individual regionals.

Fourth Alabama Regiment at Manassas. – We have been favored with the perusal of a letter from a young gentleman engaged in the battle, to his brother in New Orleans, from which we have been permitted to take the following extracts, As they contain some facts which we have not previously seen published, we present them to our readers. The letter was written on the 23rd of July, from Culpeper Courthouse, whither the writer retired with some of his wounded relatives:
Our regiment, (the 4th Alabama,) not more than seven hundred strong, alone and unsupported, fought and kept in check for more than one hour, not less than ten thousand of the enemy's forces. At least one-third of the regiment were killed and wounded in the battle. We held our position manfully, until about one thousand of the enemy, concealed in a patch of woods, flanked us on the right, and exposed us to double fire. Col. Jones was informed of this movement, but refused to retreat, because not commanded to do so from headquarters.
After stating that they were at last compelled to retire, the letter proceeds:
We had retreated some three or four hundred yards in great disorder and confusion, when in our rear to the right, we saw a regiment drawn up in column. They waved a Confederate flag over their heads, and we took them for friends. They acted very strangely, allowing us to pass them, and get upon a hill-side about one hundred and fifty yards distant. Here the regiment began to rally, and the companies to reform. All of a sudden, a perfect shower of bullets went through our lines. We fired back at them, and every man then took care of himself. The men were dispersed about in squads all over the field, and as they had no field officers left to rally them, joined whatever regiment they happened to meet with.
Some of our men afterwards distinguished themselves. One of them made a Yankee Colonel dismount from his horse, and march before him as a prisoner. He presented the horse to Gen. Beauregard, who had his horse shot under him during the action. In return, Gen. B. made him (a mere boy at that) captain over sixty prisoners. If the Yankees had been smart they could have taken our regiment every one prisoners. We were surrounded in the front, back and rear, and wonderful to say, we made the attack in the face of all the enemy. They were most exceedingly cautious, and I believe badly scared. Not more than forty of our men were left dead on the field, and something like 200 wounded, some mortally. The Yankees took our wounded left on the ground, dressed their wounds, gave them water, and placed them in the shade. They treated them very kindly in every respect. In the rest of the field, however, the tide of battle changed. On the left the Yankees had been attacked and repulsed in every quarter, and were rapidly giving way. Gen. Jackson arrived with reinforcements, and the rout of the enemy was completed. They drew off in such a hurry as to leave a great number of their sick and wounded on the field.
The 4th Alabama regiment suffered more than any other on the field. President Davis told us we should have a better chance next time. He complimented us by saying that we were chiefly instrumental in gaining the battle. He said we kept the whole left wing of the Northern army in check until Gen. Jackson arrived with his reinforcements. We lost all the field officers we had: General, colonel, lieutenant colonel, and major. Gen Bee has since died, and the rest are quite low. We secured all our wounded, the enemy not being able to take them off in their hot haste.
I was present from morning till night on the battle field, and saw the whole battle as it raged in different quarters. About 4 o'clock in the evening the firing ceased suddenly, and it would have made a departed saint laugh to see the enemy scampering away.
The letter further states that our wounded soldiers are taken into private families and are well taken care of.

Cheek's wife accepts Frick Award with moving speech
Late Blue Jays voice honoured for excellence in baseball broadcasting
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- He touched them all, one fan at a time.
Tom Cheek, the voice of the Blue Jays for nearly three decades, became a permanent part of the fabric of the game on Saturday. Cheek, who passed away in 2005, was honored with the Ford C. Frick Award in recognition of his passion, skill and ability to connect with the common fan.
Shirley Cheek, Tom's wife of 46 years, spoke in his place on Saturday and delivered a moving address in a surprisingly measured manner. Baseball and broadcasting had been their lives for so long, and Cheek finally won the Frick Award after being named a finalist nine times.
"He would be so humbled," she said in the hours before her speech. "He would say, 'But there's somebody else who's more important than me.' That's just how he came across, because he did a job that he loved doing. He was born to be a broadcaster. There was no doubt about it. But it wasn't just that he was a broadcaster. He loved meeting the fans. He loved talking to people. If we were on a cruise or a train, he'd strike up a conversation with anybody. He was interested in hearing their story."
The trio of Jacob Ruppert, Deacon White and Hank O'Day, elected to the Hall of Fame late last year by the 16-person Pre-Integration Veterans Committee, will be represented by their heirs at Sunday's induction ceremony, beginning at 1:30 p.m. ET. Hall of Fame coverage begins at 12:30 p.m. on MLB Network and also can be seen with a live stream on MLB.com.
Cheek, a Canadian treasure who was actually born in Pensacola, Fla., brought an unparalleled dedication and professionalism to the job. He broadcast Toronto's very first game in 1977 and worked an astonishing 4,306 consecutive games -- a 27-year streak -- before missing time in 2004.
And if that streak was his calling card, Cheek can also claim one of the game's immortal quotes. Cheek, calling Game 6 of the 1993 World Series, ad-libbed a perfect remark after Joe Carter hit a title-clinching home run. "Touch 'em all, Joe!" Cheek said. "You'll never hit a bigger home run in your life!"
It's that moment -- and countless others during his 27-season run -- that fans return to time and again. Cheek was first named a finalist for the Frick Award in 2005, and fans relentlessly kept his name in the conversation. Shirley Cheek acknowledged that effort on Saturday, and she also lauded Mike Wilner, one of Cheek's broadcast partners, for making a "tireless effort" to rock the vote.
"After seven years, fans across Canada have never forgotten Tom," she said Saturday. "I've heard from Blue Jays fans from British Columbia to Newfoundland expressing support and congratulations. Each year, Jays fans voted and voted for Tom. From the bottom of my heart, thank you."
Cheek, born in Pensacola, served in the United States Air Force before beginning his broadcasting career. He started as a disc jockey in upstate New York and later moved to Burlington, Vt., where he began calling games in various sports for the teams from the University of Vermont.
Those humble beginnings helped mold the man. Shirley Cheek spoke eloquently Saturday about Cheek's willingness to do everything from ad sales to play by play, and he graduated to part-time work on Montreal Expos broadcasts before landing the full-time job with the expansion Blue Jays.
That's where the ride began. Cheek called Toronto's first game in 1977 and didn't miss a game until 2004, when he left the booth following his father's death. Cheek was diagnosed with a brain tumor later in 2004, and he returned to the booth sporadically before passing away in October 2005.
The final chapter of Cheek's story took a sudden twist, but he lived long enough to see some amazing gestures. The Blue Jays inducted Cheek to their Level of Excellence in a moving ceremony in 2005, and he received reams of correspondence following the end of his streak.
One of those letters came from Cal Ripken Jr,, holder of baseball's longest consecutive games streak, and another one came from George Steinbrenner, the late former owner of the Yankees. Shirley Cheek read an excerpt from that last letter aloud on Saturday, sharing it with the world.
"Twenty-seven years," wrote Steinbrenner. "Four thousand, three hundred and six games is a very long time to announce baseball. Let me put it another way: If you announced only one game a week ... it would take you 83 years to get to 4,306 games. Now that's impressive."
Cheek's first broadcast partner in Toronto was Early Wynn, but then he settled into a notable partnership with Jerry Howarth. "Tom and Jerry," as they were known in Canada, worked together for 23 years in the booth, chronicling Toronto's rise from expansion upstart to World Series champion.
Wilner, who served as the third man in the booth and postgame host, said Saturday that he grew up listening to Cheek and that he considers the man a life-changing mentor and friend.
"It's indescribable," Wilner said in an e-mail. "To grow up listening to someone, to go to sleep with a speaker under my pillow with the game on the radio, just imagine getting the chance to actually work with that man. He was wonderful to me, so generous with his time on air and off, pushing me to succeed. A wonderful teacher, mentor, advisor and one of the best human beings I've ever known."
Shirley Cheek said Saturday that Tom took special pride in working with former catcher turned broadcaster Buck Martinez, who now calls Blue Jay games a generation later. It's full circle and altogether appropriate, and she seemed certain that her husband would have loved this day.
Cheek, who passed away at the age of 66, loved his native Florida and fishing, and he was well known for crooning all the way through the corridors of the SkyDome when he worked. His voice was thick and evocative, instantly recognizable from the first syllable he uttered in passing or on air.
Cheek's three children were all in attendance on Saturday, and Shirley Cheek said that they have seven grandchildren who dearly miss her husband's presence. But on this day, the Cheek family shared their family member with the baseball world and were embraced in return.
"Yes, Tom, you have come a long way from that dirt street in Pensacola to realizing your dreams, and today being recognized and honored by your peers," she said. "To our grandchildren ... You don't remember much about Pop-Pop, but he loved you unconditionally. This is your legacy."

A delegation of 14 North Carolina 4-H youth and 4 adults representing 15 counties including Forsyth County, attended the ninety-first annual National 4-H Congress, which was held in Atlanta, Georgia. The North Carolina delegation returned home from five days in which more than eight hundred youth and adults representing 4-H programs across the country gathered to participate in educational, service and recreational opportunities.
Laura Hutchins, daughter of Brian and Glenda Hutchins of Winston-Salem, represented Forsyth County at the November 23-27, 2012 conference. This year's theme "Become a Catalyst of Change" focused on ways for 4-H'ers to accept the challenge of global awareness, exploration, service and action. Workshops, speakers and group activities encouraged National 4-H Congress delegates to think broadly and to become a catalyst of change to make their club, community, country and world a better place.
During workshops participants had a chance to participate in sessions ranging from service learning to robotics. National 4-H Congress speakers challenged participants to reach out and to make a difference in the world. One way participants reached out to help others was by donating money to help build the third 4-H Clover Habitat for Humanity house. In a morning set aside for community service, 4-H participants traveled to different parts of Atlanta and surrounding areas to participate in community service activities. The closing banquet featured Miss America 2012, Robin Kaeppeler.
The history of the National 4-H Congress goes back ninety-one years. An educational tour to Chicago was the forerunner to what would eventually become known as National 4-H Congress. Today National 4-H Congress provides a great opportunity for 4-H members from the across the country to come together and learn about community involvement, culture diversity, and service to others while meeting new friends.
For more information on this event or other 4-H programs, please contact April Bowman, 4-H Agent in Forsyth County at 336.703.2855 or visit http://forysth.cc/ces/4-H. North Carolina 4-H has over 235,000 youth enrolled in the program as well as over 20,000 youth and adult volunteers.

Utopiales Poster, Part 7: The Painting
Here's a video showing how the painting developed from the line drawing to the final image. I put the last strokes on the painting today.
The painting took twelve days in all: two days for thumbnails, two days for the maquette, two more days for the line drawing, and six days for the final oil painting. In cast you missed the previous stages of the artwork, check out the earlier posts in the series, listed in the blogroll at left.
Here's the full composition, called Décollage nocturne (Nighttime Liftoff) showing the Lepidopter taking off during moonlight from the Place Royale.
On the cockpit of the Lepidopter, I added the coat of arms of the city of Nantes. The passenger cabin says "Nantes - Dinotopia Express."
Was there a transport between Nantes and Dinotopia? Did Jules Verne have something to do with this? Was he more than just a witness to the liftoff of the Lepidopter? The gentlemen behind him are interviewing a farmer about strange sightings of giant reptiles on a farm in Clisson. Perhaps one day the mystery will be solved....
More information about the Utopiales International Festival of Science Fiction on its official website.
More about the music of the Hay Brigade and Dan Gurney's current travel adventures in France.
Tomorrow Jeanette and I head for Newcastle for the Dinotopia exhibit there.

Thanks so much for doing all of these. They have been very inspiration and I'm sure I'll be coming back to watch/read them again.
Also I'm bummed that I can't make it out to NY for your workshop. I intended to but I was offered a job working with high school art kids! If it turns out to be a success, I hope you consider doing another one. Take care Jim!

It's something I've wanted to do for a while, but seeing a video of you in action decided it: I need to learn how to use oil paints. I loved the way you created the paper that that gentlemen is holding with just one careful brushstroke. So simple and tasteful.
Thank you for posting your progress for this image.

Well Done!
Thanks for bringing us a long for the ride - this was great.
2 questions:
Do you photograph your own artwork for reproduction? (might make a good future post)
While painting do you set daily goals for yourself?
(It looks like you went area by area, finishing as you went along)

Oh Mr. Gurney....You are one of my art heroes. I have followed this particular string of posts very closely, saving them in my own JG Art instruction file. I also love your dear, little birdie pal and your son's band in the background of the video. You even have Abe to keep you company and consult with. Thank you for sharing.
(just curious, as I'm always looking for good reference books, what costume book are you using in the top photo?)

A little magic? That Jules Verne used up about 600,000 Houdini-Watts! (Wish I had gotten to see the presto digitation.)
I'll just assume you got so caught up in legerdemain that you forgot to make the camera go :)
Great piece and amazing to watch it happen sequentially. Thanks for another great post.

Bravo! Thanks for sharing this. I'm sure your transportation to Newcastle will be in a less interesting machine -- though we all hope it posts adequate Reynolds numbers.
So, how does a person get a poster from this year's Utopiales?

Thank you for the excellent process, and the finish is exquisite.
I love how you painted the newspaper with a single stroke.
I also like how you paint with your budgie, haha.

Thank you so much for taking the time to show us your process. I have enjoyed your work for a long time and bought all the Dinotopia books for my sons (secretly for myself). I have you as one of my favorites in my Reader and on my blog. I've also used some of your posts in my lessons for my high school graphic design students. Again, thanks. Your talent is amazing.

- Super Villain said...
first off, the videos are an amazing addition to your blog, super helpful and tons a great info.
second the painting is awsome! but i cant belive you block in each section one at a time, we were always told that the entire canvas should be covered in paint by the first hour, but with detail like yours i think your meathod works best.
also glad you could find a way to plug your sons band there, haha. keep up the awsome blog and videos!

Yesterday Antwerp introduced a...(help me out here, mill? carrousel?) that they had ordered from...the creators of The Elephant of Nantes.
Watch the dutch news item and improve your dutch. Listen for the word "molen" (=mill) and "olifant" (no translation needed, right?).

- James Gurney said...
Erik, it's you that should be thanked. In the maquette photos, you noticed the dramatic potential of the cast shadow on the building on the right, and I used that in the final painting.
Also, thanks for letting us know about De Vierkante Molen (did I get that right?) Those Royal De Luxe people really know how to make a cool merry-go-round.
Pat and Kim, most of the figures in the painting are adapted from period photos and costume books. The books on the table are "Victorian Life in Photographs" by William Sansom and "20,000 Years of Fashion" by Francois Boucher. It's hard to find period photos of people from behind; there is one Dover book with photos of circus parades that has some good ones.
FATİH KARAKAŞ, your work is magnificent. I'm honored to have a blog reader from Istanbul (where my son Dan will be traveling this summer). Are there many other realist painters in your city?
Steve, I'll try to get extra copies of the poster. I think they're making about four different sizes, the largest being about five by seven feet. Yikes!
Sandi, that's wonderful that you're using fantasy art with your high school students. I wish I had had a teacher like you.
GooGoo, I guess my approach here is sort of a combination of the "all over" and the "area by area" school. I try to cover the whole canvas with light semitransparent color and then work area by area back to front.
I'm glad you liked my parakeet. But now that he's seen himself on video he's becoming a prima donna and is demanding union wages.

Jim, this is sooo cool.
Do you think that every time the wings went up, that it would draw the bystanders' clothing toward it and their hats be sucked off into the air?
Such a fun painting, I can hear the HUGE WHOOSHING sounds and the people ooh-ing and ah-ing with each gust.

Hi James!!
it's a very cool idea to do a work in progress about the poster of the Utopiales!!!
and i'm happy to see that you'll come back in France for it!!!
Will you sign dinotopia's book???
I hope i'll be able to come, to see the "master"!!!hehe
Keep it on!!!

Seeing you in action is very impressive....
After the Newspaper -done with one stroke!- you paint the man with the top-hat and beard. Then in the last scene his physiognomy is such detailed, that Jules Verne easily can be recognized. What time is betwenn these scenes. I really would like to see how you paint the details.
One thing I missed: The inscription on the Lepidopter in footprint language :-)

All though I looked very hard in the whole Illustration I can not find one GP! Dan's band sounds great and the lay in of the Verne head is so helpful for people starting painting. Love your Blog. Dave

Posted by MedTech Expert on 2007-12-03
Versant has a lot of good - good track record in the life sciences, experienced venture investors with start-up operating experience, and plenty of investment capital. It also has some bad - avoids most seed stage investments (too much risk), and avoids smallish investments in favor of putting larger amounts of money to work (the larger the fund...the larger the investment and existing shareholder dilution). And of course, there is the ugly - Becky appears to have some baggage. I have heard her trash companies and people she has not firsthand knowledge of. She appears to be one of those highly opinionated people who makes up her mind and does not want to be confused by the facts.PRIVATE: Members Only

North Dakota Drug Addiction and Drug Addiction Treatment
Drug addiction in North Dakota is a pattern of repeated drug taking that usually results in tolerance (the need for greater amounts of the drug to achieve the same effect), withdrawal (physical and cognitive effects when drug use declines or stops), and compulsive drug taking behavior (drug taking that persists despite efforts to reduce intake and despite problems with family, friends, and work). Addiction encompasses a diverse range of drugs (such as alcohol, cannabis, amphetamines, and cocaine) and is caused by many different factors.
When it comes to the causes of addiction in North Dakota, it is not likely that anyone begins using a drug with the intention of becoming addicted. Experimentation and curiosity are the first factors that draw many to even try drugs. They want to feel that "high", the sense of euphoria that comes with drug use. Additionally, drug addiction often results in painful withdrawal symptoms when drug use is stopped suddenly. This frequently provides drug users with another reason to continue their destructive drug behavior. The medical causes of addiction in North Dakota are not fully understood. Researchers can only state with assurance that the repeated use of addictive drugs can bring about dramatic changes in both the structure and the function of the brain in destructive ways that can result in compulsive drug use.
Another one of the causes of drug addiction is the effect of drugs on the user. By stimulating the internal reward system in the user's brain, drugs and alcohol make the addict crave the drug to again stimulate this reward center. These cravings lead the addict to stop focusing on those things that used to be important, and begin focusing on another dose of their drug or alcohol.
Lastly, easy accessibility to drugs in North Dakota and new, lower prices are other causes of addiction. Drugs can be found anywhere if a person simply asks. Street corners and alleyways are no longer the only place to find drugs. Schools, workplaces, and even the family next door might be new places to find drugs. With more drugs being produced, the price has also been driven down.
In North Dakota, drug addiction is a problem which affects people of all income levels, ages, and stations in life. Quite often the last person to see that there is a problem is the addict. Families try to help their loved ones to no avail. Companies have a difficult choice when faced with an once valuable employee or executive who has, due to some turn in life, developed a drug abuse problem - to help them or to fire them.
When this is the case it is important to talk to the individual about their drug use and see if they are ready to quit using drugs. For those who are not, the family, friends, or colleagues can perform what is known as an intervention. This may help the addict to see how much their drug use has hurt their friends and family. There are a number of Drug Treatment and Alcohol Rehab Centers for drug addiction in North Dakota. Different experts advocate different Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Programs. Some advocate drug-assisted therapies, while others advocate drug-free therapies. Which Alcohol Treatment and Drug Rehabilitation Center is right for a particular person is a subjective determination. Before choosing a Drug Treatment and Alcohol Rehab Program in North Dakota, you should always investigate the methods used by the Alcohol Treatment and Drug Rehab Center and the philosophies behind those methods.

A tiny startup that was threatened by a massive law firm over nothing more than a humble hyperlink has been forced to settle and change its linking policies, handing Goliath the win in this gratuitous trademark case. Under the agreement, real estate startup BlockShopper can no longer include hyperlinks anywhere on its website to Jones Day, a massive Chicago law firm, except explicitly on URL text. Essentially, jonesday.com is okay, but not blah blah blah.
During the summer of 2008, BlockShopper linked to the Web profile of a prominent real estate lawyer in a posting that highlighted his purchase of a condo, and noted that Jones Day had purchased homes/condos/apartments on Chicago's North Side. The information on these sales is public record, and BlockShopper did nothing more than follow standard Web linking procedure that practically every website on earth follows. For reasons still unbeknownst to the world, however, Jones Day was very displeased by these links and filed a lawsuit against BlockShopper in September of 2008, leveling the odd charge of trademark dilution.
The complaint cites the issue as "confusion"—the claim was that people visiting BlockShopper and seeing the links in question might assume that it was somehow officially related to Jones Day. This, of course, was a ridiculous claim, but BlockShopper tried to play nice and consented to a temporary restraining order that required the site to remove the links. Soon thereafter, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Public Citizen jointly filed an amici curiae brief on behalf of BlockShopper, pointing out the obvious: "linking is what web sites do—that is, after all, why it is called the 'World Wide Web'."
Unfortunately, the judge in the case refused to even look at the brief after Jones Day said the brief sided with one party (as most amicus briefs do); he also refused to dismiss the case at the request of BlockShopper. According to TechDirt, the judge even allegedly put pressure on BlockShopper to back down by saying, "Do you know, young man, how much money it's going to cost you to defend yourselves against Jones Day?"
BlockShopper did, in fact, realize how much money it would cost. Faced with crippling legal fees and an unsympathetic judge, the company was forced to settle the case out of court by agreeing not to use embedded links to Jones Day on any words or names. If BlockShopper wants to link to a specific attorney's profile at Jones Day's website, BlockShopper must state that the person in question is employed by Jones Day along with the text "more information about [so-and-so] can be obtained at Jones Day's website at www.jonesday.com/[remainder of URL here]" with a link encompassing only the URL. If you ask us, this almost sounds more like a bad Internet marketing scheme than a lawsuit settlement.
As pointed out by Slate, the conclusion of this lawsuit doesn't seem to solve any of Jones Day's alleged trademark concerns, and doesn't even prohibit the posting of attorneys' home purchases (presumably the information that Jones Day didn't like in the first place). The links still exist, just in a somewhat different, slightly awkward structure that is not clearly better than the original. In essence, Jones Day won by simply bullying BlockShopper until it was forced to give in and craft its links in the way that the law firm would prefer.
Turning the Web into a permissions-based linking system would be, at worst, catastrophic, and at best, annoying. We can only hope that future cases like this one will have outcomes that make more sense.
