Ya got your tickets, where ya gonna park?
Posted by Ed Farnsworth on June 8, 2010 at 4:38 pm
The happy news that tickets for the the Union's home opener at PPL Park had sold out in five hours is surely cause for celebration for both the Union and its fans. After tremendous turnouts for the two matches at the Linc many have wondered if the new stadium is big enough to hold the team's rabid support. Given the stadium's location which, unlike the stadium complex in Philadelphia, is not conveniently serviced by public transportation, perhaps the more pressing question is will there be enough parking.
The issue of public transportation is a major one. Veit acknowledged in the interview with the Daily News in May that, in a survey conducted by the club, 25 percent of season ticket holders "would like to use mass transportation." If 25 percent actually do use public transportation, that means SEPTA will have to move 4625 people by one of two means: the R2 regional rail line and buses such as the Route 113.
SEPTA told the Daily News that it would add additional cars to the R2 on game days, as well as additional buses. It makes sense to me that most people considering the public transit option would probably prefer the more direct route of taking the train—everyone knows that SEPTA buses suck. But how many cars will SEPTA need to add to the R2 line in order to handle two, three, or four thousand people on a route that runs once an hour on the weekend?
This goes without even mentioning that, according to the Daily News report, SEPTA will make the decision to add more train cars and buses on "a game-by-game basis." If SEPTA could only open one exit from the Broad Street Line for the second Union game and the USA v Turkey match, what confidence can one have that they will add enough trains and buses?
And what about getting fans from the train station to the stadium? Veit said in the interview, "we have a plan out now with SEPTA where we will provide a shuttle service from the Chester Transportation Center that will run throughout the season and will take fans right to the front gates of the building." But again, how many shuttle buses will it take to make sure fans get to the game on time?
Assuming that 25 per cent of the fans make their way to games by public transportation—a very big assumption indeed—means that 75 percent will be driving. However, the off-ramps from the Commodore Barry Bridge will not be completed this season. Whether they will be completed in time for the start of next season is beyond the control of the Union because it is a PennDot project. That means those traveling by car will have to find their way through Chester to the stadium.
Veit said in the interview that the club would be providing season ticket holders with the best route to drive to the stadium based upon their zip codes. While this seems logical, the simple flaw in the plan is that many season ticket holders are part of a group of ticket holders. For example, a friend and myself are account holders that together represent a group of ten season tickets. While both of us live in the same neighborhood, at least half of the other people in our group live all over the city. It is very unlikely that all of us will be able to meet up to make our way to the stadium together, which means the very real possibility that multiple vehicles will be taking a variety of routes to the stadium. Whether the 6000 non season ticket will be provided with a route I do not know. Whether most people will actually follow the directions provided by the club is anyone's guess.
Once fans who have driven to the stadium actually get there they will be faced with the problem of parking. An email the club sent out to season ticket holders on Tuesday announced a parking pass plan. (Club and Premium seat accounts already have a parking pass as part of their ticket package.) For $200, founding members can purchase a pass for every remaining game in their ticket plan that will allow them to park "on the stadium footprint." With 15 home games remaining, that works to be a little over $13 per game. Essentially, you will be assigned to a color-coded lot. You can only park close to the stadium by buying one of the passes—no cash will be accepted on gameday for these lots.
If you can't afford one of the passes or aren't a season ticket holder you will be able to park at one of "a number of satellite lots in close proximity to the stadium." Complimentary shuttle buses will be available in those lots that are not within "convenient walking distance," otherwise known as "safe walking distance" to the faint of heart.
Given the limited amount of parking near the stadium, tailgating restriction will apply. But, I don't really care about tailgating—I'm more concerned about getting inside the stadium in time to see kickoff. Before the home opener at the Linc, the Union advised everyone to arrive early because Vice President Biden's security arrangements were certain to cause delays at the gates. Many people didn't get the word and thousands missed the beginning of the game.
This time it seems very likely that many people will be delayed getting to the stadium rather than inside it. Take the Union's advice: "ARRIVE EARLY! I repeat: ARRIVE EARLY." And be sure to tell your friends.

Ministers pressed on Chagossian return as Government decision looms
You can read the full debate on Theyworkforyou.comTo back Chagossian return, sign up for our free 'Thunderclap,' where over 100 people will be able to post to social media at once. Thunderclap is a great way to make the government take notice of the growing demand for Chagossian return.
Tobias Ellwood, a Government Foreign Office Minister, has pledged that a decision on Chagossian return was expected "before the end of the year," during a well-attended Westminster Hall debate on the issue this week.
The vast majority of speakers called for Chagossians to be allowed to return to their homeland, a place they were evicted from in the late 1960s and early 1970s to make way for a US military base. That agreement expires this year and during the debate several MPs pressed for the government to make US support for Chagossian return a fundamental condition of any renewed agreement.
Responding for the Government Mr Ellwood said that the government would reach a decision before the end of the year. He expressed "sincere regret" for the suffering of Chagossians and their deportation, but would not commit to backing a return programme.
He acknowledged the "strong attachment to and wish to resettle the Chagos Islands," from the Chagossian community, a number of whom attended the debate in person. He also recognised an independent report stated return "could be viable."
Adding a note of caution, however, he said resettlement "would not be straightforward," and said "the interests of wider UK taxpayers would need to be considered."
Labour Shadow Foreign Minister Catherine West spoke strongly in favour of return during her contribution to the debate. She highlighted the "appalling irony" that Filipinos migrant workers and US military contractors could live on Diego Garcia, but Chagossians could not.
Referring to a Supreme Court judgement earlier in the year, she argued the verdict indicated that the current legal ban on Chagossian return "may not be lawful" and is likely to face further legal challenge if there is not a political solution.
Citing possible sources of funding for return including private sector investment, NGO support and US government contributions, she suggested the idea that Chagossian return would be a significant burden on the UK taxpayer was misleading.
Ms West also quoted former Conservative Shadow Foreign Minister Keith Simpson, speaking in a 2009 debate on the Chagos Islands, less than a year before the party was elected into government.
After the debate, Chagossians met with many of the debate attendees, including Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn. Mr Corbyn attended the debate briefly but did not get a chance to speak. He did however, speak to us after the debate to add his voice the Chagossian campaign.
In this debate, Mr Simpson had argued "There is a moral imperative..that the rights of the Chagossian people should be recognised, and that there should at the very least be a timetable for the return, to at least the outer islands."
Concluding her comments, the Labour Shadow Minister asked "7 years later, when can we expect the government to honour that commitment?"
Conservative MP and Chagos Islands All-Party Parliamentary Group Committee Chair Andrew Rosindell, who secured the debate, expressed this view stridently, saying that "an extension should be conditional on both parties agreeing to support and facilitate resettlement."
Mr Rosindell also contrasted the "very different" treatment of Chagossians with those in other British Overseas Territories like Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands. Whereas military and diplomatic force has protected the rights of the latter two, Chagossians will has been ignored, her argued. In all cases, he concluded, "self-determination must be paramount."
Other MPs including Conservative MP for Crawley Henry Smith bemoaned "excuse after excuse" which successive governments had offered to avoid allowing Chagossians to return. Seeing "no reason" to not offer a fair return package to Chagossians right now, he concluded by saying "we can not turn back the clock, but we can do the right thing now."
SNP MP Alan Brown focused his contribution on a range of issues, but particularly the cost of resettlement. He argued that the US could be expected to pay a cost for the renewal of the agreement on the use of Diego Garcia, and presuming it was of a similar amount to the effective discount given as part of the original 1966 deal, this would, he suggested, cover the costs of resettlement entirely.
He also cited the millions spent on legal fees in fighting Chagossians in the courts as wasted tax payers money which could be put towards a fair return package for Chagossians.
Several other MPs contributed to the debate as well. Former Labour Minister Kate Hoey and ex-UN Commander Bob Stewart expressed their dismay that a large civilian population could live on Diego Garcia but Chagossians, the islands native people, could not.
Throughout the debate a disputed point was the extent to which the US would object to Chagossians returning to Diego Garcia. Former Ministers for the British Overseas Territories Chris Bryant and James Dudderidge suggested that during their tenure US officals had expressed objections to Chagossians return, although Chris Byrant admitted "this should not be the primary factor" in the Government's decision.
Sir Henry Billingham, another former Minister with responsibilities for the Chagos Islands, added that in his view "with the help of the Department of International Development and with a great deal of imagination and innovation, the arguments [for return] are quite strong.
James Dudderidge made the only contribution to the debate directly opposing resettlement. He claimed that the condition of the islands after 50 years being uninhabited made resettlement too difficult. We plan to have a full article looking at Mr Dudderidge's comments in detail in the near future.
Many MPs and Chagossians in attendance strongly objected to Mr Dudderidge's line of argument. The condition of the Islands, being overgrown with little infrastructure, was a direct consequence of the deportation and rebuilding that infrastructure has been factored into existing cost estimates.
You can add your voice by joining our Thunderclap. This will allow us all to call for return at the same time this Chagos Day (3rd November) on social media.

For more than a century, the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering has served as a vehicle through which Southern Baptists have supported international missions.
I'm proud that North Carolina Baptists have historically ranked at or near the top in support of this special offering year after year. At our annual meeting last month in Greensboro, we reported and celebrated the fact that North Carolina led all state conventions in support of the Lottie Moon offering last year, contributing more than $13.6 million to international missions through this special offering. To God be the glory!
I am both grateful and thankful for your continued generosity. Your financial gifts help support more than 4,000 Southern Baptist missionaries who are serving around the world by sharing the gospel, making disciples and planting churches among unreached people groups in hard-to-reach places.
Your prayers and financial support are making an eternal difference. In 2015, which is the most recent year of data reported on by the International Mission Board (IMB), more than 1.9 million people outside of North America heard the gospel, and more than 175,000 of them trusted Christ as Savior. Additionally, more than 15,000 individuals were trained as pastors, and more than 6,100 new churches were started.
Despite these positive numbers, we still have much work to do in order to get the gospel to every tribe, tongue, people and nation. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus at Christmas, remember that there are millions of people around the world who have not even heard His name.
That's why I urge you once again to pray and support this year's Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.
The national goal for this year's offering is $160 million, and 100 percent of everything that's given goes directly to support the missionaries who are sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ all around the world. I hope North Carolina Baptists will rise to the occasion once again this year and be among the top contributors to Lottie Moon.
The International Mission Board has a number of resources and videos available for your church to use in promoting the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. You may find these resources and learn more online by visiting imb.org/lmco. The website also includes several missionary spotlights and daily prayer points for the week of prayer for the offering, which runs from Sunday to Sunday (Dec. 3-10).
You can also pray for the missionaries that you and your church support through the Cooperative Program and other means by using the 52 Sundays resource, available for free at ncbaptist.org/52sundays.
The 52 Sundays resource includes PowerPoint slides, bulletin inserts and more that spotlight a different missionary each week of year. I encourage you to download and use this resource in your church, Sunday School class or small group to pray for a different missionary every week of 2018.
Once again, thank you North Carolina Baptists for your continual prayers, generosity and support of missions and ministries through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, the Cooperative Program, the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering and more. You are making an eternal difference that will only be measured when we get to heaven.
"And how shall they preach unless they are sent?" – Romans 10:15a.
Thanksgiving is upon us, and Christmas is right around the corner. The holiday season provides excellent opportunities for Christ-followers to pause and reflect upon God's goodness, kindness, mercy and grace that He lavishes upon us. The holidays give us occasions to spend time with family and friends we do not see often. During these times, we are reminded just how much these individuals have enriched our lives.
As you gather with your family and friends around the Thanksgiving table or by the Christmas tree, there is a strong chance there will be someone at your gathering who does not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Let me encourage you to be intentional about looking for opportunities you may have during this time to have gospel conversations with particular family and friends who may not know Christ as Savior. You can begin by telling them what Christ has done for you, and then ask if they would like to know with certainty that He has forgiven their sin and given them the gift of eternal life.
The North American Mission Board is promoting a new emphasis among Southern Baptists called the "GC Challenge." "GC" is short for "Gospel Conversations," and the challenge is for churches and their members from all across the country to pledge to have a total of 1 million gospel conversations by June 2018. You can learn more about the initiative by visiting the GC Challenge website at gcchallenge.com.
Utilizing this website, your church can make a pledge toward the goal of 1 million gospel conversations. The site also includes several free resources related to prayer and evangelism. You can watch brief testimonial videos from pastors, church members and denominational leaders who shared their most recent opportunity to engage someone in a gospel conversation. You can even upload your own 60-second video of your most recent gospel conversation to the "GC:60" section of the site as a way to encourage others.
When you have a gospel conversation with someone, you may discover that the individual you are speaking with already knows Christ, while there are many others who have not yet accepted Him as their Savior. I find that when I have gospel conversations, some individuals are ready to place their trust in Christ at that moment, while many others are not.
While we are responsible for sharing the message and calling for a decision, remember that God is responsible for the outcome. When we share the gospel with an individual in the power of the Holy Spirit – even if they refuse to trust in Christ at that time – we have had a successful witnessing encounter because we have obeyed Christ. It may be that another Christ-follower will get to lead that same individual to accept Christ later because of the seed you sowed. I encourage North Carolina Baptists to participate in the GC Challenge. I hope many churches in our state will use the designated website to make a pledge toward the GC Challenge goal. Sharing the gospel is the first step in the disciple-making process, and the holidays represent a wonderful opportunity to turn everyday conversations into gospel conversations with individuals we want to spend eternity with in heaven.
"I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase" – 1 Corinthians 3:6.

Q: Validar rfc con Expresiones Alguna idea de como Validar RFC correctamente con JS actualmente tengo esta expresión:
^([A-ZÑ&]{3,4}) ?(?:- ?)?(\d{2}(?:0[1-9]|1[0-2])(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])) ?(?:- ?)?([A-Z\d]{2})([A\d])$

Tiene los siguientes errores:

*

*Ingreso 12 números me los acepta.

*Ingreso 9 números y 3 caracteres lo acepta

*Ingreso únicamente 9 números lo acepta

La idea es que únicamente acepte los puntos en el siguiente orden:

*

*Ingresar 3 o 4 caracteres.

*Seguido fecha 6 números enteros.

*3 caracteres alfanuméricos.
Espero me puedan orientar es para un trabajo escolar. Se agradece cualquier aporte Saludos!!

A: No estoy muy seguro de que en los RFC esté permitida la letra Ñ, pese a ello, veo que la has agregado dentro de los caracteres aceptados.
De cualquier modo, la siguiente es una breve modificación a la expresión que incluyes, funciona para el caso en el cual se incluye la homoclave
^([A-ZÑ&]{3,4})(?:- )?(\d{2}(?:0[1-9]|1[0-2])(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01]))(?:- )?([A-Z\d]{2})([A\d])$

y esta es una breve modificación para la versión en la cual acepta también aquellos casos en los cuales el RFC no incluye la homoclave:
^([A-ZÑ&]{3,4})(?:- )?(\d{2}(?:0[1-9]|1[0-2])(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01]))(?:- )?(([A-Z\d]{2})([A\d]))?$

Una versión simplificada en la cual no aceptas espacios en blanco ni guiones sería la siguiente:
^([A-Z]{3,4})(\d{2}(?:0[1-9]|1[0-2])(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01]))([A-Z\d]{2}(?:[A\d]))?$

Espero que te sea útil alguna de las opciones.

Players not using "injuries" as a good excuse for recent stretch of losing
Friday, November 13, 2009 / by Tim Benz / / Dan Bylsma, Inside Access, jordan staal, marc andre fleury, Pittsburgh Penguins, Ruslan Fedotenko, sidney crosby / 0 comments
I'm not sure why everyone is so upset about the Penguins most recent loss. It was a 4-1 defeat to New Jersey at home Thursday night. They barely avoided a third straight shutout defeat. It was their fourth loss in a row. And the players held a closed door meeting afterwards.
But it was actually a good night. After all, nobody else got hurt! By recent standards, that's a major victory.
Of late, getting through a game unscathed has been rare for Pittsburgh. Over the past four weeks, the Penguins have lost Tyler Kennedy, Sergei Gonchar, Kris Letang, Evgeni Malkin, and Brooks Orpik.
Throw in Max Talbot (who has yet to play this year due to off season shoulder surgery) and that's 1/3 of their regular skating roster from the playoffs last year.
Compound those injuries with the off-season departures of Petr Sykora, Rob Scuderi, Hal Gill, and Mathieu Garon and you are left with only half of the roster which suited up on opening night of the playoffs versus Philadelphia.
Very few teams handle an instant 50% loss of a championship roster very well. The 1998 Florida Marlins come to mind.
Luckily, the Penguins got off to a torrid start. At the time of this posting, the Pens had 24 points. That was good for third most in the Eastern Conference. They were also in second place behind the Devils in the Atlantic.
"After a few losses and few guys going down, we are just trying to focus on our own game. That's the main thing. We want to get back on the right track here," said team captain Sidney Crosby, "We're not focused on the standings. Yeah, we notice it a little bit. But right now it's more of a focus on trying to get things going in the right direction again."
Yet the recent stretch of losing seems to have worn on this tattered club. After being shutout twice in a row, the Penguins had some good jump in their step against Jersey to begin the game on Thursday night.
A Ruslan Fedotenko goal put them up 1-0. But a few near misses later, the Penguins felt themselves clinging to a lead against Martin Brodeur and company. And there was a tangible sense in the building that Pittsburgh may have to win this game 1-0 if they were going to win at all.
After all, a team that's lost 43% of its goal scoring from last spring doesn't usually generate a lot of momentum off of its own offense. Sure enough, Pittsburgh never scored again and New Jersey netted four goals in a row to walk away with a second straight win at Mellon Arena this year. Afterwards, Coach Dan Bylsma admitted that his team was feeling the frustration.
"When we got down, later on, I think you saw a couple of guys looking down at their shoelaces. We needed to get our heads up and start executing," said Bylsma.
Clearly, the injuries are more than just an excuse for the Penguins losing streak. They are an explanation. And a damned good one. It should be good enough in both fan and media circles. But it can't be in the locker-room. Fedotenko seemed to grasp that after the loss Thursday. "It's…whatever… excuses, excuses. We just need to play better."
He's right. Even Crosby has struggled mightily of late. His assist on Fedotenko's goal was Crosby's lone point in six games. It's the worst offensive stretch of his five year NHL career.
"I'm just trying to focus on being my best. That's all I can do," said Crosby Thursday, "That's more productive than trying to do everything myself. It never seems to work that work when you try to do that. At the end of the day hockey is still a team game."
That's true. But a lot of the INDIVIDUALS on the team need to elevate their own play to help the TEAM while 1/3 of the club is hurt.
That means Crosby and Fedotenko….and perhaps even more so Chris Kunitz, Bill Guerin, and especially Jordan Staal. All five of those guys have picked a lousy time to go into individual scoring funks.
The goaltending could've been better too from Marc-Andre Fleury during Pittsburgh's losses in San Jose and Los Angeles. But he played well enough to win in Boston Tuesday, and get at least a point Thursday.
But when goals are being scored because pucks are bouncing off of Ben Lovejoy and Derek Engelland, it's hard to blame Fleury very much. Those two deserve to be in the minors right now. But with Mark Eaton remaining as the only healthy, regular player on the blue line, what else can one expect Bylsma and Ray Shero to do to fill the voids?
The normal roster should be back and healthy by mid December (that sound you hear in the background is a lot of wood being knocked on). Between now and then though, the Penguins have to muster a little bit better play despite their injured roster.
Otherwise a second straight good start to the year may be wasted by Christmas time. And another overwhelming second half run in February and March might be needed to properly position a second straight Stanley Cup Penguin victory.

It all started 15 years ago in Las Vegas for Dave Oancea who today is better known as "Vegas Dave." Oancea is an acclaimed sports betting consultant who is regarded as one of the elite sports handicappers of this era. Wagering over $100,000 a week on sports, his success has attracted fans and sports betters from around the world.

One week into the 2015 season, Oancea made history by betting a little over $100,000 to 2.5 million on the Kansas City Royals winning the World Series. While experts had chosen them to finish in last place in the AL Central, this became the highest paid future bet in sports betting history.
Just two weeks after this win, Oancea predicted Holly Holm would beat the undefeated UFC women champion Ronda Rousey at +1,100 odds, setting another record as the highest payout in UFC history. Oancea placed a $20,000 bet and received a $240,000 payout.
Autodesk Vault Collaboration 2011 best price How did you get started in this business?
Growing up I used to collect baseball cards. I was able to predict who would be good or not. I would buy cards and sell them for more and I was able to tell an individual player's worth or a team's worth. When I lived in Hawaii, I found out you could bet on team sports and I was instantly hooked. I decided to go to college in Vegas, enrolled and took out a $10,000 student loan. I ended up doubling that on a roulette and with that money I started my bank roll.
To date, my favorite bet has been the one on the Royals winning the world series. Everyone laughed at me and thought I was crazy.
I don't sleep much and I spend a lot of time checking stat reports but definitely the Superbowl is keeping me busy these days.
I am successful at my business.
Hard work, skill and luck. You have to be able to take big risks and have guts to do this. If you want the big rewards, you have to take big risks. This is work, a lot of it has to do with my mindset throughout the week. I watch hours and hours of games and sports. I take risks that 99% of people would never take. When you're betting hundreds of dollars a month, you have to be on it. So everything I've received, I've worked very hard to get.
Over the years, Oancea has had many ups and downs on his gambling journey. However, Vegas Dave has always believed he was destined to succeed in the sports betting world and with a more disciplined approach, he's done just that.

Photography: Mecanoo, Ossip Architectuurfotografie, Jared Chulski Photography
Arriving in Delft is an unforgettable experience. From the outset, Mecanoo's idea was to design a station that makes it clear to visitors that they have arrived in Delft. The station, in combination with the new city hall, sits atop a new train tunnel built in place of the old concrete viaduct that divided the city in two since 1965.
Coming up the escalators, the impressive ceiling with the historic map of Delft unfolds (in collaboration with Geerdes Ontwerpen). When you look outside, you see the city and the old station as a contemporary version of Johannes Vermeer's painting 'View of Delft'.
A vaulted ceiling features an enormous historic 1877 map of Delft and its surroundings, connecting the station with the city hall. Within the station hall, walls and columns are adorned with a contemporary re-interpretation of Delft Blue tiles. You can walk directly from the station into the city hall.
Throughout the design process, the building volume has been shaved and reformed to create a compact, highly efficient building form. The lowered roof lines at the corners provide a gradual transition towards the existing small-scale development of the Delft city centre and the adjacent Wester Quarter.
Incisions in the glass volume of the city hall building form a pattern of alleyways and courtyards, which are themselves inspired by the intricate structure of Delft. The facade responds to the different sun orientations, which determined the amount of glass incorporated, thus mitigating daylight needs while reducing heat gain in the summer months.
The glass has a high light absorption factor but low solar absorption, and all windows can be opened manually for user comfort and natural ventilation. Solar panels on the roof provide 20% of the energy for the building mechanics and presence-aware lighting. The GreenCalc+ score is rated at 270.

GOP Replacement Plan Narrowly Passes Through Budget Committee
Three conservative Republicans joined the Democrats on the committee to vote against the legislation.
The Wall Street Journal: House Republican Health Plan Advances In Congress
House Republican leaders on Thursday moved one step closer to passing legislation replacing much of the Affordable Care Act, as the House Budget Committee approved the bill despite opposition from the panel's most conservative members. The 19-17 committee vote moved the bill closer to debate in the full House, which could begin as early as next week. But the "no'' votes from three conservative Republicans signaled that the bill still faces challenges in the chamber. (Hackman, Peterson and Armour, 3/16)
USA Today: Budget Committee OKs Obamacare Repeal Over Objections From Conservatives
Reps. Dave Brat, R-Va., Mark Sanford, R-S.C., and Gary Palmer, R-Ala., joined Democrats and voted against moving the legislation forward. The three lawmakers are all members of the House Freedom Caucus, a group of roughly 40 hardline conservatives who have criticized the bill in its current form, mostly on the grounds that it does not go far enough in repealing Obamacare and does not do so quickly enough. (Collins, 3/16)
Reuters: Republicans Split, Conservatives Angry As Healthcare Overhaul Inches Ahead
The close vote illustrated the problems Republican leaders may encounter in corralling enough votes in their party to win passage on the House floor amid unified Democratic opposition. The measure now goes to the Rules Committee before reaching the House floor. (Cornwell, 3/16)
PoliticoPro: Obamacare Repeal Bill Survives Narrow Committee Vote
The threat that conservatives might have stopped the bill in the Budget Committee prompted a full-court press from GOP leadership to keep members in line. "This is the conservative health care vision that we have been talking about for 10 years," Budget Chairwoman Diane Black told her colleagues in an opening statement. "I encourage you, don't cut off the discussion." (Cancryn, 3/16)
CQ HealthBeat: House Budget Committee Advances Obamacare Repeal
Republicans and Democrats offered 10 non-binding motions during the markup. The Budget Committee does not have the authority to actually alter the bill's language, so instead the motions were drafted to express the committee's support for amendments to the legislation. (Williams, 3/16)
McClatchy: Obamacare Replacement Bill Passes Budget Committee By One Vote
"We're very pleased with where we are, because we are on track and on schedule," Ryan said of the bill during a press conference on Thursday as the Budget Committee took its vote. "We made a promise to repeal and replace Obamacare. We're going to keep our promise to the people that elected us." (Daugherty and Pugh, 3/16)
The Hill: Budget Panel Advances ObamaCare Bill With Three GOP Defections
The bill will now head to the House Rules Committee, where leadership might make amendments to appease conservatives and moderates unhappy with the current legislation. The Rules Committee will be the final stop before the bill reaches the floor. ... Along those lines, the committee approved four non-binding recommendations from Republicans that will be sent to the Rules Committee, including a work requirement for able-bodied adults enrolled in Medicaid and another that would gear the plan's refundable tax credits toward low-income people. (Hellmann, 3/16)

The Battle for Money Transfers: The allure of PayPal and Western Union over Familial remittance networks
Informal Money Transfer systems continue to provide importunate loopholes in the global wrestle against terrorism. Radical cells, as well as broader criminal networks, maintain their use of Hawala systems, but do so in concert with other informal transfer systems, largely to sidestep the regulatory and administrative management of formally institutionalized worldwide money transactions. At a time when financial acts are globally regulated under the Basel Accord and other global instruments, the enduring use of Informal Value Transfers (IVTs) in Australia is cause for mounting unease. To concentrate on the informal money transfer system known as Hawala, is to overlook much of the problem. PayPal and its related cyber-systems outperform Hawala transfers through the commercial necessity for fast, efficient capital mobility. This paper posits that prevention and mitigation strategies for the wider group of online financial transactions need urgent re-evaluation. The activities of PayPal, Western Union, and other cyber-dependent systems, conceal transactions that support terrorist and criminal activities.

The Blackout of Game #2 of the Cubs vs. Giants Playoff Series (by Dave Madsen)
Dear MLB.TV and MLB Executives:
I've been following the Chicago Cubs since I was a kid and consider baseball an important part of my family heritage and culture. Throughout most of my life, I was able to watch all Cub games for free on WGN, and I could regularly afford to ride the train to Wrigley Field and buy a ticket.
Last Saturday, I didn't want to pay $250 for a bleacher seat ticket on Stub Hub. Instead, I was looking forward to watching Game 2 of the Cub-Giant series at home on TV.
It was shocking to find out hours before the game that my local cable service, Wide Open West (WOW!) would not be broadcasting the game. It would be streaming live exclusively on MLB.TV.
I went ahead and paid the MLB.TV premium post-season subscription of $25, thinking it would be cheaper and healthier than going to the local bar. Later, minutes before the game, I discovered WOW was not an approved network. The game was blacked out. I immediately called WOW customer service and was told there was no way for me, a Chicago area Cub fan, to watch the game being played at Wrigley Field.
Ironically, I pulled out an old transistor radio (from 1970) and began listening to the game. My wife, a new fan, said she couldn't imagine what was going on. We ended up watching the game at a crowded sports bar with a hundred frustrated WOW customers.
Today, I called WOW customer service to find out more information about the situation. I was told that "a million Cub fans called them" to complain that day.
Apparently, two weeks before the game, MLB made the decision to exclusively broadcast this game on their own MLB.TV network. When WOW tried to negotiate with MLB for broadcast rights, they were told it would cost billions of dollars. Wow said the cost would have been passed on to WOW customers, increasing the average monthly bill $30. So on top of paying for an expensive MLB.TV subscription, fans would be getting crushed on their monthly cable bills as well.
Two questions for you: Is that the way to treat your loyal customers? Did you ever consider the fact that Major League Baseball is destroying their fan base?
Please consider looking at the long-term health of the game and league. Rather than pursuing short-term, maximum profits, MLB should broadcast on common networks where all fans can enjoy what may still be considered the national pastime.

Disappointingly absent from the Political Right is a clear understanding of constructive suggestions for gun-control laws. "Why can't you comprehend this about guns?" (March 21) is not about "another diatribe against guns." The definition of diatribe is "a bitter and abusive speech or piece of writing"—in a single word, rant or tirade. This describes Wayne LaPierre (NRA executive vice-president) and the hands-off-my-gun movement as astonishingly foolish and incendiary. Their words are absent of solid and convincing arguments.
Who will be the guilty, law-abiding person who uses a gun to settle an intense, parking space argument in our national parks? Or to resolve the incident of an accidental bump—or was it intentional?—in a crowded, late-night bar?
Today and in the future, may the many gun-advocates understand clearly the facts before speaking and writing their diatribe that loses all power to persuade.


With a strong commitment to reducing environmental impact, a GKN Sinter Metals facility has completed the Strategic Energy Management (SEM) Program – improving the location's electric efficiency by 6.6 percent and natural gas efficiency by 15 percent since 2015.
GKN Sinter Metals' Germantown, Wisconsin facility partnered with Focus on Energy to begin a two-year implementation of the SEM Program in 2015, and recently completed the program with environmentally-friendly results.
Focus on Energy partners with Wisconsin businesses and residents to identify energy savings and reduce energy waste. The business's SEM program chooses companies who use significant energy in the state and meet specifications to complete the ISO 15001 Energy Management certification.
The global and regional commitment from management encouraged the facility to explore additional energy consumption savings. GKN's strategy includes all North American facilities to be certified in ISO 15001 by 2020.
Rau and the Germantown team used the program to its full potential: the groups created a customized program for the facility to find maximum savings through certificate training, quarterly workshops and third-party audits.
"We were ready and committed to taking a comprehensive approach to maintaining our energy," said Wayne Spearman, Plant Manager, GKN Sinter Metals Wisconsin.
The team implemented projects including extensive metering and monitoring, furnace upgrades and management, upgrades to lighting, and compressed air systems improvements.
The improvements saved an equivalent of more than 1.5 million kilowatt hours of electricity and more than 30 thousand therms of natural gas, according to Focus on Energy. The energy savings also saved $136,000 at the facility.
Over the two-year SEM program, GKN implemented projects that will save over six million kilowatt hours and 525,000 therms of natural gas. According to Focus on Energy, this is equivalent to removing 1,000 cars off the year and powering 500 homes year after year.
After the strong success in Wisconsin, GKN is planning to expand its environmental savings across North America.
The SEM program implementation is being shared with GKN's North American Health, Safety and Environment teams, and will be presented at an upcoming Manufacturing Engineering Conference in Indiana.

Global March to Jerusalem
March 30, 2012 - from Beirut, Amman, Cairo
On March 30 demonstrations starting from Beirut, Amman and Cairo, as well as convoys arriving from around the globe, will converge in the global quest to save Jerusalem from being colonised by Zionism. In these three capitals, we will be received by local preparatory committees. Concomitantly, there will be mobilisations throughout historic Palestine: in the West Bank, in the Gaza Strip, in the territories robbed 1948 (today Israel) and first and foremost, in Jerusalem. Inform yourself about the political project and read how you can participate.

We will meet before Land Day on March 30, 2012, in Amman, Beirut and Cairo to start our common march to Jerusalem. In all these capitals, we would be joined by local preparatory committees.


Whenever a new investment approach comes along, there are always risks associated with data snooping and selection bias. Even with the best thought out methods using plenty of past data, there is still some data mining involved in selecting portfolio assets, weighting methods, re-balancing intervals, etc. Just as one can never become a virgin again, so one can never unlearn all the ideas that may become embedded in an investment methodology.
So how can one minimize the risks associated with a new investment approach? The first way is to require that the method make sense. Is it in tune with the nature of the markets?
Portfolio insurance, an idea promoted by academics having little market experience, caught on briefly in the 1980's. The idea was for investors to allocate more capital to stocks as they rose on a short term basis, and pull money away from them quickly as they declined. Any experienced market practitioner knows this is a bad idea, since the stock market is short-term reactionary by nature. Sure enough, portfolio insurance incurred large whipsaw losses soon after it began. Investors gave up on it right away, with nothing to show for it but loses.
Momentum, on the other hand, has always made sense. It is based on the phrase "cut your losses; let your profits run on," coined by the famed economist David Ricardo in the 1700s. Ricardo became wealthy following his own advice. Many others, such as Livermore, Gartley, Wycoff, Darvas, and Driehaus, have done likewise over the following years. Behavioral finance has given us solid reasons why momentum works. The case for momentum is so strong that two of the fathers of modern finance, Fama and French, call momentum "the premier market anomaly" that is "above suspicion."
The second criterion for accepting a new investment approach is robustness. One way to judge this is by a model's complexity. Simpler is better. Fewer moving parts means fewer unanticipated consequences and less danger of model over specification. Over fitting data by adding complexity to a model can also make it too rigid. It may then perfectly predict the past, but not the future.
Momentum, on the other hand, is pretty simple. Every approach, including momentum, must determine what assets to use and when to re-balance a portfolio. The single parameter unique to momentum is the look back period for determining an asset's relative strength. In 1937, using data from 1920 through 1935, Cowles and Jones found stocks that performed best over the past twelve months continued to perform best afterwards. In 1967, Bob Levy came to the same conclusion using a six-month look back window applied to stocks from 1960 through 1965. In 1993, using data from 1962 through 1989 and rigorous testing methods, Jegadeesh and Titman (J&T) reaffirmed the validity of momentum. They found the same six and twelve months look back periods to be best. Momentum is not only simple, but it has been remarkably consistent over the past seventy-five years.
The opposite problem of too much complexity is omitted variable risk. For a model to be robust, it needs to incorporate all relevant explanatory variables. As Einstein pointed out, a model should be as simple as possible, but no simpler. Perhaps the most dramatic example of omitted variable risk is the case of Long Term Capital Management (LTCM). Academics again sold the investment community on what at first appeared to be a good idea – exploiting anomalies identified through equilibrium-pricing models. The omitted variable in this case was potential risk from a combination of high leverage and low liquidity. By ignoring this, LTCM almost brought about a collapse of the world's financial system.
Momentum, however, appears safe from omitted variable risk. Momentum does not depend on esoteric markets, derivatives, leverage, or anything else out of the ordinary. As I show in my latest research paper, momentum has been highly effective when applied to the world's most liquid markets and most well-known asset classes.
Another way of judging robustness is by seeing how well an approach holds up in multiple markets, over different time periods, and with different parameter values. Risk Parity (RP) is popular based on its attractive pro-forma performance record over the past ten years. RP puts an emphasis on fixed income assets, which have done well over this period. However, it is not logical for bonds to outperform equities indefinitely, since stocks are riskier than bonds and should command a positive risk premium. In line with this, RP portfolios are not as attractive when looking at pro-forma portfolios going back more than twenty years.
Momentum, on the other hand, is one of the most robust approaches in terms of its applicability and reliability. Following the 1993 seminal study by J&T, there have been nearly 400 published momentum papers, making it one of the most heavily researched finance topics over the past twenty years. Extensive academic research has shown that momentum works in virtually all markets and time periods, from Victorian ages up to the present.
The final way to judge investment worthiness is through real-time performance. This is often the primary criteria used to evaluate investments. On its own, however, it has drawbacks. First, the time to establish statistically meaningful results is longer than most people realize. Ken French has said that seventy years of past performance data may not be a sufficiently long performance record. Some analysts believe they are being diligent by requiring a one, three, or five year real time track record before they will consider an unfamiliar investment opportunity. However, as disclosure requirements point out, past performance may not be indicative of future results. This is especially true when dealing with shorter term track records and complicated investment models. Success over a handful of years may still be due to chance and a favorable set of market conditions. In fact, studies show that 3 to 5 years of past performance data is mean reverting. Assets that di especially well during that time frame are likely to disappoint going forward.
When someone questions how long momentum has been around, I point out the Cowles and Jones research findings from seventy-five years ago and the Levy results from forty-five years ago, along with the subsequent validations of their work. Their simple approaches are the underlying basis for momentum investing, even now.

Home Dressing Tips Keith Moon
Words by: Jared Paul Stern
The story of The Who drummer Keith Moon driving a Rolls-Royce into a hotel swimming pool
has proven to be apocryphal, but the point is he very well could have done it. Moon, known for his epic appetite for partying, which finally killed him in at the age of 32, collected cars despite the fact that he didnt, or should we say couldn't drive. He owned a lilac-colored Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud Mk. III with a portable bar, television and eight-track hifi, a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, a Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible, a Bentley limousine with custom coachwork created for the 1950 Geneva Motor Show, a Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL, an AC Frua 428, and a 1939 Chrysler Wimbledon Limousine amongst other conveyances. One day when the TV in the Rolls wasnt working he simply chucked it out the window onto the side of the road.
According to Moons biographer Tony Fletcher the swimming pool tale came out of a half-baked suicide attempt. Following an argument with his wife Kim at Tara, their country house in Surrey, Keith did indeed try to drive the Silver Cloud into their pond and drown himself. The car got bogged down in mud and reeds however and did not actually make it into any significant amount of water, and was later cleaned up and returned to service. On another occasion Moon lent his brand new Ferrari Dino to a couple of biker pals who swiftly landed it in a ditch, damaged beyond repair. Its only money, was Moons reaction. Unfortunately he also ran over and killed his chauffeur in his own Bentley following a boozy night out at a pub in 1970 when a crowd of skinheads turned violent. It was later declared an accident, like so many other things in his life.

The Ideal Customer
The segment landing page is Business Insights. Click here to go to segment landing page.
This article is rated five-star out of 5 stars
Great marketing programs are based on listening to how customers talk about what they need.
One of the basic rules of marketing is that before you do anything else, define and understand your target audience. This has been true since the dawn of marketing and never more so than today. You have to create a detailed picture of your company's ideal customer before you can proceed with any marketing initiatives. Doing otherwise would be like commencing to build a house with no plan of what the house should look like.
So how should you go about drawing a picture of your target audience?
"It really starts with looking at who your best clients are today," says Philadelphia-based marketing expert David Newman. "There are two ways to answer that question. A lot of CEOs say, 'Well, our best customer is the one that buys the most stuff.'"
But that's often not the right answer because your biggest customer might also be the most difficult, the slowest to pay or the one that always has the last-minute crisis that ties up all of your resources.
In other words, the amount of cash changing hands is only one small determinant in a range of factors that need to be weighed when defining your company's ideal customer.
"It's not necessarily about who gives you the most money," says Newman. This is really about who is the best fit for what you do, how you do it, how you like to do business and how you like to charge for your products and services. It's about who is a pleasure to work with."
Establishing a deep, intimate understanding of your best customers is the second critical part of building a marketing platform.
"It's an outside-in process," Newman says. "You have to listen to your customers and think about what they're saying. How do they articulate their needs, pains, problems and headaches? Not in marketing-speak, and not in sales bullets, but in plain English. You have to totally trash all the copywriting secrets, all the advertising taglines, all the clever phrasing and industry jargon. To resonate on a deep level with your best customers, you really need to speak their language about their problems."
Often it's in casual moments that the deepest truths emerge, and that's when you know you've found something that can resonate from a marketing perspective.
"My litmus test for this is what I call the six o'clock, head-in-the-hands-at-the-bar conversation," Newman says. "What does your customer or prospect say in that situation? How do they articulate their predicament? Maybe they'll say something like, 'If I have to cobble together one more of these sales reports out of my Excel spreadsheets, I am not going to be happy.'"
Now, take that direct language, think about it from a marketing perspective and apply it to your brochure or website. If you present your message just like your customers gave it to you, it will resonate with them.
"They'll go, 'This company gets it! That's totally my problem,'" Newman says. "You send that to a CFO, controller or a VP of finance, and they will get it. If you've done your targeting the right way, they will get it because you are speaking their language."

Section E
The Ownership and Destruction of Files
All outsourcing providers should be made aware of these provisions and required to comply with them.
The following information was originally based on an Opinion from the Dean of Faculty provided to the Society in June 2000. It has subsequently been amended to take account of changes in the Law.
Law firms are data controllers in relation to the personal data that they hold for their employees, clients and third parties. Further information can be provided in the Society's guide to GDPR.
Who owns what in files?
The same considerations apply whether the file is held as paper or in digital format.
Material ordinarily owned by the client
Documents produced by the client or produced by the solicitor for the client.
Written Opinions (whether principals or copies) but not preparatory personal notes prepared for the solicitor's benefit.
Draft formal documents and deeds. (These may be of evidential importance to the client in the event of the loss or destruction of the principals.)
Written submissions tendered in court, but not detailed research notes and other documents generated for the solicitor's own personal use. Precognitions taken by the solicitor or obtained from other parties but see Article 11 of the Code of Conduct for Criminal Work where they may contain sensitive material and where it might be inappropriate to pass this information to clients. See Swift v. Bannigan 1991 S.C.L.R. 604, although the Dean had reservations about this case.
Original letters received from and copy letters to third parties.
Copies of letters written to the client, although if these have been retained by the solicitor as part of a private record or if the contents relate exclusively to the contractual relationship between the solicitor and the client, the solicitor may own them.
Notes of meetings and telephone calls, which constitute the solicitor's work on behalf of the client.
Files and documents received under a mandate.
Material ordinarily owned by solicitor
Original letters received by the solicitor from the client.
Notes of meetings and telephone calls, which form part of the solicitor's preparatory work.
Intra-office memoranda.
Sensitive material and precognitions in criminal cases should be dealt with in accordance with Article 11 of the Code of Conduct for Criminal Work.
It is matter of judgment whether a file should be copied, but copying may be prudent from a risk management perspective. The costs should be borne by the solicitor and the intention to retain a copy of the file should be explained in the terms of business letter.
If a mandate is received from one of two or more clients and the consent of the other cannot be obtained the file can be exhibited or copies offered at the client's expense, provided that nothing is disclosed or copied which is confidential to the other party.-see also the next paragraph ''Multiple Clients'' and Guidance on Charging for Lending or Delivery of Files
Multiple clients
Issues of confidentiality, duties of disclosure and informed consent of multiple clients must be borne in mind.
Where a matter develops to the extent that a solicitor cannot continue acting for multiple clients due to a conflict of interest arising or developing, care must be taken with the nature of the material copied or delivered.
Any release of correspondence or documents must either be with the consent of all or the file should be divided into parts relevant to each client, e.g. in the lender/borrower situation the file should be divided into those parts belonging to the lender and borrower respectively.
Where there are common documents they can be copied to all clients as there is no confidentiality between mutual clients.
If a lien is to be exercised, the solicitor cannot prejudice one client, e.g. a lender if that client has no liability for fees. If one client requests a file where fees are due by the other, the file should be forwarded under reservation of the lien so that it cannot be passed on to new agents.
A file can be delivered subject to an undertaking to produce it to ''the other side'' if called upon.
Each client has the right to inspect documents in which he or she has a proprietary interest and also to receive copies at his or her own expense.
Destruction of files
The terms of business letter should include information about the intention to destroy files and/or papers after conclusion of a transaction after a certain period to provide evidence of consent to destruction and also where appropriate to retain a copy of the file.
The following points should be noted:
The terms of business letter should advise the client on the solicitor's policy on retention and destruction of the file and the papers.
Documents that may be relevant to a claim should prima facie be kept for at least the period of long negative prescription if the claim has not previously been disposed of.
Documents containing client's tax or VAT affairs must be retained for at least the relevant statutory subscribed period.
A solicitor's obligations to comply with GDPR need to be considered when deciding the specific date beyond which the obligation to hold a client's own documents can be said to expire. Deeds or other documents constituting or evidencing rights may need to be preserved if it can be argued that they continue to be of value.
In storing and insuring files and papers, solicitors are providing clients with a continuing service for which they can properly charge.
At the end of each transaction a letter might be sent to the client to advise as to the location of title deeds and/or other important documents or confirmation of what is to happen to these.
The Master Policy insurers have clarified that destruction of the file will not affect the insurance position but clients could take issue with the fact that the file had been destroyed if their position was prejudiced.
Destruction of the client's property without consent could expose the solicitor to liability and damages.
Solicitors must ensure that sensitive or privileged documents and files are not disposed of in any way which might compromise them.
Document shredding within the office or by a reliable specialist contractor would appear to be the safest option.
Fire, flood etc
If clients' files and/or documents are destroyed by fire, flood or other disaster, you should inform the Society's Registrar Department of such an incident within a reasonable length of time. You will not be required to list the destroyed files and/or documents, but of course may do so if you wish.
Electronic storage of files
Electronic storage of files is dealt with in the advice and information on scanning and archiving.
The onus rests with the solicitor to balance the obligations to comply with GDPR against the need to preserve files and papers.
* Care must be taken to ensure that no important papers such as confirmations, decrees, etc, which should normally be kept separate from other correspondence are in any file being destroyed.
* So far as financial records are concerned regard should be had to the terms of rule B6 and the relative Guidance.
Suggested timing for file retention - in different categories
Simple Debt Collection
On completion i.e. after the time for appeal has elapsed.
Divorce and consistorial matters
Five years after final completion, e.g. after maintenance, residence and contact orders, etc., have ceased to have effect, or children have reached majority.
Civil court cases
Ten years after completion.
Murder and other cases involving disposal by way of life imprisonment. The papers should be retained indefinitely.
Solemn cases
Files should be kept for the duration of the sentence if more than three years.
Summary cases
The papers should be retained for three years. A copy of the complaint or indictment and a copy of the legal aid certificate should be kept indefinitely.
Ten years after completion although an executry may never be complete. Relevant documents and papers might be sent to the Executor for safekeeping since prior rights and legal rights only prescribe if not claimed in 20 years after becoming enforceable.
Continuing trusts
Ten years after the termination of the Trust.
Conveyancing transactions
Purchase: Ten years after completion-although the file may be of use until the property is subsequently disposed of.
Sale: One year later after completion (i.e. after implementing Letter of Obligation; dealing with any funds retained; and after Missives have ceased to have effect).
Company work
Endowment and investment business
Practice units should retain all files in relation to endowment investment business until such time as the policy in question has matured.
Other correspondence files
Five years after completion of the business.
See Rule B6.1.1 ("required retention period") and Rules B6.7, B6.8 and B6.9.
Money laundering - customer due diligence records
See Regulation 19 of The Money Laundering Regulations 2007. In addition it should be noted that the definition of accounting records in Rule B6.1.1 includes "client due diligence documents and client financial information obtained for the purposes of compliance with the Money Laundering Regulations" and that such accounting records should be kept for the "required retention period" which is defined in Rule 6.1.1. as being the "remainder of the financial year of the practice unit and a further six financial years".
Note: Certain records need to be kept for different periods to comply with HMRC / Statutory requirements.
When files, papers and/or documents are destroyed a separate record should be retained of the date of destruction to include a general description of what was destroyed.
In all cases, important papers such as confirmations, decrees, etc., should be retained indefinitely and should be kept separately from the correspondence.
The whereabouts of these documents should be set out in a closing letter once the transaction has been completed so that there is no dubiety about who holds them.
Documents containing client's tax and VAT affairs must be retained for at least the relevant statutory periods.

High Yellow draws attention to forms of mimicry through dance, costume, voice, and gestures. The video weaves together four characters: the artist, Savion Glover, Shirley Temple, and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, to explore the relationship between the figure of the tap-dancer and the negotiation of racial identities in popular entertainment.
Using home video footage of the artist performing a depoliticized rendition of the off-Broadway tap-musical Bring in the Noise, Bring in the Funk, Mansour splices her own performance with scenes from the on-screen relationship between Temple and Bojangles during the 1930's. She thus addresses directly the practice of racial mimicry embedded in minstrel culture by including excerpts of an interview with Glover – the star and co-creator of the original musical – who critiques the early racist on-screen history of American cinema.

Q: How to sync React native global data and stackNavigator? I have a problem synchronizing the global variable with stackNavigator. In the given example, if I use the buttons from View everything works fine, but if I combine back arrow from header, then the value of the global variable is displayed as the value of the stored fragment, but the value of the global variable does not change. Pressing the Go to Details button again displays the unupdated value of the global variable increased by one. How to solve the problem that the value of a variable is synchronized with the state of the stackNavigator.

Vaginal Inclusion Cyst
Vulvar Epidermal Inclusion Cysts
Cysts that develop on the vulva include inclusion cysts and epidermal cysts. Vulvar inclusion cysts are small sacs that contain tissue from the surface of the vulva. Vulvar epidermal cysts are similar but contain secretions from oil-producing (sebaceous) glands near hair follicles.
Inclusion cysts are the most common cysts of the vulva. The vulva is the area that contains the external genital organs. Inclusion cysts may also develop in the vagina. They may result from injuries, such as tears caused during delivery of a baby. When the vulva is injured, tissue from its surface (epithelial tissue) may be trapped under the surface. Some inclusion cysts develop on their own.
Epidermal cysts may develop when the ducts to sebaceous glands become blocked. Secretions from these glands then accumulate under the skin's surface.
Both of these cysts eventually enlarge and sometimes become infected. Infected cysts may be red and tender and make sexual intercourse painful.
Cysts that do not become infected usually cause no symptoms, but they occasionally cause irritation. They are white or yellow and usually less than 1/2 inch (about 1 centimeter) in diameter.
Inclusion and Epidermal Cysts
Vaginal inclusion cysts are usually small and do not cause symptoms.

Removal of the cyst or cysts
If cysts cause symptoms, they are removed. If women have only one cyst, a local anesthetic is injected to numb the site. If women have several cysts, clinicians may use a regional anesthetic to numb a larger area or a general anesthetic to cause loss of consciousness.
