Monthly Cash Thru Options (MCTO) is an options advisory & educational newsletter that focuses on non-directional, income generating, index credit spreads and iron condors that represent a strategy of selling (writing) options. The MCTO service opens credit spreads & iron condor options on the Dow Jones Industrials (DJX), S&P 500 Index (SPY & SPX), S&P 100 Index (OEX), NASDAQ 100 Index (QQQQ) and the Russell 2000 Small-cap index (RUT & IWM). Iron Condors are popular because they are relatively simple to learn and visualize, they require only a few hours per week to manage, they make money during upward trending, sideways or downward trending markets, they do NOT require you to sit in front of the computer watching your trades, do NOT require you to become an options expert on myriad options strategies, and they generate consistent, monthly income. Their investment philosophy is not to push the envelope on credit spreads because this increases the chance of large losses and increased stress, so they primarily use 90% probability trades. For more on why they believe 90% probability Index Iron condors is one of the best options strategies available please read Top 10 Reasons.
Monthly Cash Thru Options focuses on credit spreads and Iron Condors, an options "selling" strategy, because it's a well known fact that 80% of all option contracts expire worthless - that is the buyers of options lose the premium they pay when purchasing them. For more on our returns please go to http://goo.gl/trcd. One reason that the returns are consistently good is because the MCTO team spends a lot of time watching the US Federal Reserve & Treasury Calendar, macro-level economic health & investor sentiment indicators, traditional technical analysis, as well as volume based short-term indicators to help time when to open and close their credit spreads, also known as Market Timing. For more on why this is important, please go to Why Market Timing is Important.
The Monthly Cash Thru Option team continuously hears from their subscribers that the detail, clarity, supporting educational material and research behind their advisories are top-notch and unequaled.

If I slipped and fell in a restaurant what can I do if this happened in Washington? 1 Answers as of March 17, 2011My family was at dinner in a restaurant in Spokane, when I slipped and fell. There was a wet floor between the front door and entrance of the place. It had been raining, and though several people fell, there was no caution sign. I had to get x rays done, and the doctors told me I broke my ankle and have a sprained wrist. What can I do?

If you intend to file a claim against the restaurant, you will need to establish that the restaurant had notice of the water and that it posed an unreasonable hazard. These are very difficult cases because juries tend to take a "they should have been looking where they were going" point of view. Contact an experienced personal injury attorney in your area to discuss the facts of your case.

Tensions over the payroll tax extension escalated in Congress on Tuesday as lawmakers waded into the most contentious — and vexing — issue of all: how to pay for the $160 billion package.
The latest conference committee hearing exposed partisan rifts on a range of outstanding issues. Democrats and Republicans sparred over proposals to freeze federal workers' pay another year, to force wealthier seniors to pay more in Medicare premiums and to impose an extra tax on millionaires.
Story Continued Below
Arguing for nearly three hours Tuesday morning, the 20 conferees appeared no closer to a deal than when they started. The 2 percent payroll tax cut, as well as unemployment benefits and the Medicare reimbursement rate for doctors, all expire at the end of the month.
As that deadline nears, conferees are under enormous pressure from House and Senate leaders to expedite their talks. But accusations continued to fly between Democrats and Republicans, who blame each other for holding up the popular tax cut for 160 million Americans.
"My only point would be, let's let the conferees work," conference committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) told reporters after the hearing, the committee's fourth. "And I don't think the comments from either side of leadership from either body are particularly helpful."
But Camp's plea for civility seemed almost quaint as party leaders continued to snipe.
"Instead of finding common-sense solutions, Republicans are talking about things that have nothing to do with middle-income taxes," complained Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). "These tactics are stalling, more evidence that Republicans don't want to extend this tax cut."
Senate Democratic leaders have threatened to forge ahead with their own proposal if the conference committee doesn't pick up its pace. Reid vowed to issue his own plan if conferees don't present an agreement by Monday or Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) tagged Democrats as "obstructionists." And Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, a member of Senate GOP leadership who serves on the conference committee, called Reid the "head cheerleader" for defeat.
"Everything boils down to more taxes with the Democrats," said Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), another conferee. "I'm beginning to ask myself the question, is this a serious effort to find a way to extend the payroll tax holiday and unemployment insurance, or is it just a way to say no and keep beating up on millionaires and billionaires?"

It shouldn't hurt to be a child.
That motto for child abuse prevention is behind the Blue Ribbon Rally, and its efforts to keep kids safe.
The annual rally is set for 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday in the Depot Entertainment District.
Eye-catching vehicles and motorcycles are displayed on the streets, collecting ratings from judges and glimpses from general visitors.
Winners are scheduled to be announced at 4 p.m.
"It's a family-fun time to come see all these neat cars and neat bikes," said Lynnette Wilson, executive director of the Family Guidance and Outreach Center, the hosting agency.
While perhaps best known for its car and motorcycle show, the rally contains a festival-like atmosphere with food vendors and activities.
Along with many of the center's other special events such as a Memory Ride, which was held April 6, the rally serves as a fundraiser for their efforts to stop child abuse. For instance, classes they offer aim to teach parents effective ways to discipline children without resorting to violence.
"Everything we do is for prevention of abuse and building healthy families," Wilson said. "This event is kind of the finale. It brings awareness that it shouldn't hurt to be a child."
But unfortunately, sometimes it does.
Lubbock leads the region per capita in confirmed cases of child abuse and neglect, according to statistics from the Department of Family and Protective Services. Last year, Lubbock County reported 1,354 cases, three of which resulted in the child's death.
Statewide, 156 children died in 2013 as a result of abuse or neglect.
"We have a real problem here," Wilson said. "This is not just a party. Everything we do is to promote healthy, stable families and hopefully prevent some of this abuse."

A TEENAGE ballerina from South Yorkshire is joining the world famous Bolshoi Ballet Academy - after a last-minute donation from an anonymous donor.
Tala Lee-Turton, aged 16, from Wombwell, Barnsley, will fly to Russia this week to start a four-year training programme at the Moscow school.
She is the first dancer from Yorkshire to secure a place at the elite academy, and only the ninth British dancer to be accepted in its 239-year history.
Her mother Sara Turton, a single parent, had three months to raise £15,000 towards the £20,000 costs for her first year.
Ms Turton, a training manager, said: "I'm thankful to the complete strangers who have been so moved by Tala's story that they have donated funds to help her."

iSuppli runs numbers, finds $199, $183 build costs for iPhone 5s, 5c handsets
Date: Wednesday, September 25th, 2013, 07:47
Category: Hardware, iPhone, News
If you're wondering how much Apple's new iPhone handsets cost to manufacture, they've got a number.
Per AllThingsD, a forthcoming IHS iSuppli report posits that Apple spends at least US$191 on components to build a 16GB model of the iPhone 5s and between US$167 and US$176 for a low-end iPhone 5c. Those prices are just a few dollars lower than what Apple spent in order to build the iPhone 5 according to iSuppli's year-ago report on that device. The firm adds another US$8 in assembly costs for the iPhone 5s, while iPhone 5c assembly tacks on another US$7 to assemble, giving full construction estimates of US$199 for the 5s and between US$173 and US$183 for the 5c.
The iPhone 5, released in 2012, cost Apple about US$205 to produce and sold for between US$649 and US$849 off-contract. Apple saves about US$13 to produce the new high-end iPhone, even considering its beefed up processor and biometric sensor, and Apple sells it for the same price point.
Memory capacity plays a part in the price of an iPhone, with the jump from a 16GB module to a 64GB module adding US$19 to the component cost, plus another US$8 in assembly.
The display components are among the biggest cost contributors for the device, though, amounting to US$41 out of the component cost. IHS believes that Apple's displays came from a number of vendors, including Sharp, Japan Display Inc., and LG Display.
The use of a polycarbonate shell for the iPhone 5c helps Apple drop the component cost of what is essentially an iPhone 5 even further. Whereas the iPhone 5 was machined from a single piece of aluminum in a costly process, Apple spends only US$173 to build a 16GB iPhone 5 model and US$183 to build the 64GB model.
IHS' look at the new iPhones seems to agree with some observers' opinion that the iPhone 5s, despite the addition of a number of technologies, is more of an incremental progression over its predecessor.
"I would say that they're almost the same phone," said IHS analyst Andrew Rassweiler, "except for that the 5s has the fingerprint sensor, the A7 processor and some newer memory chips that consume less power. Beyond that, they're basically the same."
The lower production cost per unit could work in Apple's favor going forward. The Cupertino company recently revised its guidance for the September quarter after selling more than nine million new iPhone units in the launch weekend. Part of that guidance revision was to orient investors to look toward the upper range of its previous estimate, possibly due to the improved margins on its hot-selling new devices.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.

It's one of the strange things about global car makers: some of the most interesting vehicles they design never actually go into production.
These are merely concept – intended to demonstrate what a manufacturer is capable of, but often too outlandish to make it into the showroom.
Given this trend, it's reassuring to see that BMW hasn't gone soft with the production version of its all-electric i3. This vehicle is every inch as exciting as the concept car that spawned it. And better still, it will be available to buy in the UK from November this year.
That's a pretty good reason to start taking notice of this visionary car. Not that it needs any help when it comes to grabbing attention. Thanks to BMW i "streamflow" design, this vehicle wears its futuristic credentials firmly on its sleeve.
As a case in point, consider the contrasting black finish of the i3's bonnet, roof and tailgate. This creates an overwhelming impression of lightness and is a fitting reflection of the state-of-the-art carbon fibre reinforced plastic from which the car is made.
Futuristic credentials: the original BMW i3 concept
Other exterior touches – fluid lines and glass work – enhance this sense of dynamism and otherworldly presence. Meanwhile, the standard 19-inch alloy wheels and minimal overhangs create a distinctive silhouette that points to the car's energy-saving credentials.
From the front, for example, the i3 is instantly recognisable as a member of the BMW family. But, unusually, the iconic kidney grille is fully closed because the car's electric engine doesn't rely on air flowing through them to keep it cool.
Inside, BMW's "LifeDrive" architecture ensures a similar effect. There's no transmission tunnel to impair movement around the cabin and the interior is accessed by means of coach-style doors, giving an immediate feeling of space.
These features are part of a wider package that redefines our understanding of normal when it comes to mainstream motors. Put simply, the BMW i3 has arrived – and brought the future with it.

development of stages 2 – 7 of the 167.6 hectare site in northern Darwin, including services, to create 930 residential lots, of which the smallest will be 450 square metres;
construction of 279 detached DHA homes on individual residential lots, of which most will be single storey houses;
sale of the remaining undeveloped residential lots, including 15% of lots to be offered to the Northern Territory Government for 'Affordable and Community Housing' purposes.
The area of Muirhead is fairly close to some areas within Darwin that have some significant youth issues. By not providing appropriate spaces for young people who are going to be forming part of that community, there is the possibility that that new community of Muirhead may be adversely impacted by some of the issues that are currently occurring in the northern suburbs areas of Darwin ... There has been an increase, from our own experiences, in the amount of young women who are engaged in criminal activity, and there is an increase in activity of young people relating to physical assaults and those kinds of things. If public spaces that involve families and the ability for community to come together are not provided, there is a risk that the community becomes fragmented and there may not be the ability to draw that community together as a community.[10]
The Committee recommends Defence Housing Australia engage a social and cultural planner for the entire Muirhead development (including consideration of stage 1), and incorporate the findings and recommendations of that plan into the present proposal (stages 2 – 7).
The Committee recommends Defence Housing Australia engage a social and cultural planner for all future developments that involve the development of more than 50 lots, regardless of how many lots Defence Housing Australia will retain.
'...collaborative processes that could be undertaken with developers, NT government and the community, whether that is private sector investment or community organisations or the new Darwin affordable rental housing company...'[11].
The Committee recommends that the House of Representatives resolve, pursuant to Section 18(7) of the Public Works Committee Act 1969, that it is expedient to carry out the following proposed work: development and construction of housing for the Department of Defence at Muirhead, Darwin, NT.

During the month of November, people were talking about:
Red Hat's takeover of Cygnus and what it will mean to the Open Source community. Who will be next? Talk is, it will be Corel. By the time this prints, we may know the answer.
Sun Microsystems recently released version 1.2.2 of their JDK (Java Developers Kit). They initially failed to give credit to the Blackdown Team for its early development work. Sun later apologized. Oh, and Inprise helped Sun with the JDK, too. Sorry, I forgot!
Everyone talks about the money to be made with Linux. I learned the VA Linux IPO date from my morning barista. Point being, everywhere I turn, people want in on the "Linux" stock. On opening day, VA stock soared and the jubilation was heard worldwide.
Speculation as to when kernel 2.4 will be released, along with much discussion of its new features and changes.
—Jason Schumaker
During the past two years many companies have come to support the Linux operating system, but most do not come to open source—their software products remain proprietary. Even those who do open source their software usually do it only for Linux, keeping Windows and UNIX versions closed. On December 7, this trend was reversed in a big way.
Matra DataVision, a French company, announced it would be making its product open source, not just for Linux, but for every platform it supports. And this isn't some little do-nothing product, either. It is an enterprise level product for geometric modeling, ranging from CAD to 3-D geological mapping. Also, Matra is not a small company looking for publicity for their product; its CAS.CADE product accounts for 10% of the total market.
Matra has taken a good look at the Open Source movement and seen the advantages that can be had with an open-source product. The company believes this move will enable them to extend their market outside its current limits with gains, not losses, in profitability. They intend to concentrate their efforts in support and development of technical applications for specific needs of customers. These are exactly the areas most mentioned by advocates of open-source business models. It is quite refreshing to see a major company take the movement so seriously that they are willing to base their whole business model on it.
Matra also intends to give its developments back to the community. They have a team of 50 people dedicated to furthering open-source development in this area and a web site at http://www.opencascade.org/ that is dedicated to open source. I talked to Sana Abou-Haidar, Matra Marketing Manager, on December 10 and she told me, "We have decided to base the business model on the service part, so the development part can be true open source. The license is completely LGPL-compliant." Our conversation can be found on the LJ web site at http://www.linuxjournal.com/articles/conversations/009.html.
Linux has needed an enterprise-level CAD application, and now it has one—one that not only supports Linux, but is also open source. I wish Matra success and hope more companies will follow their example in the coming months.

Potential: Red Hat went from a Linux company to an Open Source company just before the Cygnus merger announcement. This seems to open up a whole new area of "merging" potential.
Fact: The African Penguin is the most endangered of penguin species. This millennium has seen the numbers drop from several million to less than 50,000 pairs. To help, contact SANCCOB (South African National Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (http://www.sanccob.org.za/).
Penguin Fact: A penguin's eyes are adapted for underwater vision. In air, penguins are nearsighted. --Sea World, www.seaworld.org/Penguins/senses.html
Quote: "I am a wandering anthropologist and trouble-making philosopher." --ESR at Fall Internet World, NYC.
Fact: A DSL connection is 10 to 25 times faster than that of a 56K modem. Most DSL service performs at a minimum level of 256Kbps. (US West Communications)
Rumorville: Word has it that The Big Red Machine (i.e., Red Hat) may be buying Corel. What affect would this have on Linux competition?
Questions: My repeated attempts to have a short e-mail interview with Bill Gates continue to be thwarted. What questions do you have for "the master"? Send ideas to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Fact: VA and Loki are partnering to distribute Debian/GNU Linux in the retail market. Profits will go to Software in the Public Interest. This looks like a win/win situation for everyone.
Predictions: VA Linux and Transmeta will announce a partnering relationship during the first quarter of 2000. —Jason Schumaker, 12-2-99

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 19, 1973:
Torrential rains had pummeled the area overnight, flooding some roads and providing some awe-inspiring lightning. The storms had dumped an official 4.28 inches of rain on Lawrence in less than 10 hours, with even more recorded in southern Douglas County -- 6.52 inches in Worden and 5.8 inches in Baldwin. The severe weather had begun at about 11 p.m. and had continued until shortly after 8 this morning, interrupting sleep for most local residents but leaving the city well above its normal monthly precipitation average of 3.74 inches. Farmers today were welcoming the mid-July rainfall. "It was tremendous for the pastures," a spokesman for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service said this morning, "and good for the soybeans, corn and milo.... The farmers welcome it. They wished it wouldn't have been quite so hard but they'll take what they get." Fortunately the rains, though heavy, had not brought any winds and damage reports from the storms were minimal.

I wish to install wordpress on my website, to allow userS to blog. Some of the requirements are..
1) only 1 category. users will create posts inside the category.
2) because the genre is travel blog, a user can have a "5 days tour in London" post for 5 days. instead of appearing as a single post, it should be 'group' together as a single post.
3) users are in-charge of their own posts only.
is it doable with wordpress or plugin to help achieve this?

Scouting Locations for Film and Video
For students of 9th to graduate grade.
Scouting Locations for Film and Video Subject: Film and Video Production Grades: 9th - Graduate School Description: Students in groups of three will find and photograph locations to be used in an upcoming movie to be produced entirely in New Hampshire. Students will be given a list of scenes and the type of location where they take place. Utilizing the photo sharing capabilities of Flickr, groups will post their photographs, in the sequence corresponding with the order of the scene descriptions they have been given. Objectives: 1. Students will work cooperatively in groups of three and divide responsibilities equally among members. 2. Students will think creatively about their surroundings and other places that they have been to satisfy specific location needs. 3. Students will conduct research via the internet, phone, or through interviewing friends or acquaintances to locate other suitable locations. 4. Students will utilize prior knowledge relating to proper composition, lighting, depth of field, and framing of their photographs. Procedure: Students will split into teams of three. Students will be given the assignment and review the list of locations. After discussion and research, students will create a schedule of dates, times and locations to shoot, and who will be available for each shoot. One camera will be assigned to the group, however if individual group members have another suitable digital camera they may use it as well. Activity: Students will be given the following information: A major production company would like to shoot a feature film entirely on location in New Hampshire. In order to convince them that this would be possible they have asked their remote producer to visit New Hampshire to photograph a series of specific locations that might be used in the filming. These are the places where major exterior scenes will be shot: 1. The shores of a large lake, with small boats docked. 2. Outside (and inside) a family style restaurant or diner. 3. Walking past storefronts in a Downtown, or Main Street setting. 4. Large wooded area with stone walls visible. 5. Shopping Center including pizza place, and several other stores. 6. Old, white, farm-house with wraparound porch. 7. Apple Orchards with farm stand. 8. Park with ball fields and bleachers. 9. Elementary school with playground equipment. Working in groups of three, you will take this list of locations and find somewhere to satisfy each requirement. Using a digital still camera take multiple still photographs of each place. Review them, choose the best of each location, and post them on our class group site on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com). You may label them or not, since they should be obvious to us, however please identify which group's photographs we are looking at. Culminating Activity: Each group will present their locations via the Flickr site and a data projector to the visiting producer aka your teacher. Group members will describe the location and factors that might influence the shoot for each photograph that they have taken. Assessments: Students will be graded on the degree that their photos represent the scenes that were identified, the appearance and composition of their photographs, the overall choice of locations, including accessibility for shooting, and the details given to justify their choice of photos used in their presentation.

East Chambers twins look to make connection for Bucs
Published 5:19 pm, Wednesday, August 27, 2014
Austin and Aaron Sutherland know what happens if one of them screws up.
Aaron knows what will happen if he drops a pass or runs the wrong route. Austin knows the consequences if he makes the wrong read or throws an inaccurate pass.
No, the East Chambers juniors do not face a stern punishment from their father, head coach Russ Sutherland.
Instead, the Sutherland twins will get grief from one another.
"They occasionally have spats," coach Sutherland said with a laugh.
Aaron, a wide receiver, and Austin, the Buccaneers' quarterback, are both starting on varsity for the first time in their lives. The connection they share might be one of the keys to East Chambers returning to the playoffs for the 20th straight year in a revamped district, which is the largest in 3A-I.
"We have a connection that Austin and other receivers don't have," Aaron said. "Since we're brothers we can tell what each other wants to do. If a play gets busted and he has to scramble, he knows where I like to go and can get me the ball."
It started in the yard with Dad playing quarterback, one twin as receiver and the other covering his brother. That extended to the sidelines of Russ' games as coach in Louisiana and Winnie. The elder Sutherland called games with the backdrop of his boys playing catch.
In seventh grade, Austin and Aaron played organized football as teammates for the first time. As freshmen at East Chambers, they connected again on junior varsity.

Last Halloween was a big deal in our house. It was the first time that our little guy actually went out trick or treating! He had a blast {and so did we}. Instead of opting for a store-bought costume that we'd really not get much use out of, I wanted to create one out of items we already had. I also of course wanted something super cute and memorable as it was his first time venturing out into the trick or treating world. So after perusing tons of blogs and pins, I came up with this little creation…
He got so many compliments on his costume, and guess what?! The only items I had to buy were the baby suspenders and the glasses! We had everything else in his wardrobe already. To make your own mini Man of Steel, you'll need:
a superman t-shirt {ours was from Old Navy}
black pants
white button up shirt
black suspenders {found on Etsy}
black framed glasses {sunglasses from the dollar store with the lenses popped out}
black shoes
I was also lucky enough to find a Superman treat bucket at our local consignment store for a whopping $2!
Now to start thinking of what he and little brother will be this year?!
I'm part of The Really Awesome 2013 Handmade Costume Series this year. Go check it out at C.R.A.F.T. and Really Awesome Costumes!
Happy Halloween!

Car show fundraiser for Tanski children
Updated 11:27 pm, Wednesday, May 15, 2013
STRATFORD -- A car show is planned to benefit the children of the husband and wife who were struck by a sport-utility vehicle in February and later died of their injuries.
Kevin and Brenda Tanski were walking along Bridgeport Avenue, just blocks from where they lived in Milford's Devon section, when they were struck.
The car show will take place June 8 at Holy Name of Jesus Roman Catholic Church, 1950 Barnum Ave., Stratford, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The family has worshipped at that church for years. The rain date is June 15.
"This is our sixth year of doing the car show, but this time, all of the proceeds are being donated to the Tanski family," said Bob Sheehy, of Shelton, who also attends Holy Name and is one of the organizers of the fundraiser. "I heard about the tragedy while I was on vacation, and we all said, `This is something that we have to do.' "
The driver of the motor vehicle that struck the couple, James Dorso II, faces two counts of second-degree manslaughter and one count of reckless driving.
The husband and wife are survived by children Jeremy Puckett, of Milford; Kevin M. Tanski Jr., of New Haven, and Jenny and Courtney Tanski, both of Milford. Also surviving is a grandson, Shawn McAuliffe.
There is a $10 entrance fee for those who want to show cars, which will be judged in two categories -- built before 1987 and those built after. There will also be dance routines by the Stratford Performing Arts Academy and food concessions.
"We've been collecting money for the family with the dinners that Holy Name has been having, but we wanted this to be much bigger," Sheehy said.

Banks are making free checking tougher to get
Published 4:00 am, Thursday, January 27, 2011
Many banks are making it harder to qualify for checking accounts without monthly maintenance fees, but most consumers can still get one if they are willing to change their behavior or their bank.
Wells Fargo raised its requirements for free checking last year, Chase will next month and Bank of America began testing a revamp of its fee structure in three states last week.
Chase's move is "a result of changes in competition, regulation and customer behavior," bank spokeswoman Eileen Leveckis says.
Big banks say that new regulations in the Card Act and the Dodd-Frank financial regulation bill will reduce revenues that subsidize checking accounts, so they need to make it up.

In fall 2010, only 65 percent of banks offered a free, non-interest-bearing checking account, down from 76 percent in fall 2009, according to a Bankrate.com survey.
Bankrate's Greg McBride says that number will fall further as the regulations take effect.
However, he says that in the 2010 survey, an additional 23 percent of banks offered accounts "that could become free with something as simple as direct deposit."
Many credit unions, community banks and online banks will continue to offer free checking accounts. They don't have the same network of branches and ATMs that the big banks do, although some belong to co-ops that offer free ATM usage or reimburse customers for ATM fees.
"Free checking is still within the grasp of the majority of Americans, either with certain behaviors or by shopping around," McBride says.
Remember that even free checking accounts usually charge for bounced checks, wire transfers and other one-time services.
To make sure you're not hit with unwanted fees, read all the disclosures from your bank. Here's what's happening at some big banks, as well as your options at smaller institutions:
Starting Feb. 8, several checking accounts will be combined into Chase Total Checking, with a monthly fee of $10 in California, Oregon and Washington, $12 elsewhere.
Customers can avoid the fee by doing one of four things that month: have a direct deposit of at least $500, maintain a minimum daily balance of $1,500, maintain an average daily balance of $5,000 (combined with other Chase deposit or investment accounts) or pay at least $25 in fees for other checking-related services.
Today, Chase's requirements for free checking are easier: Use your debit card at least five times a month or have a direct deposit - of any amount - once per month. Otherwise the fee is $6.
The changes apply to new and existing customers.
Like other banks, Chase is raising fees on checking-related services: Wire transfers will cost $30 instead of $25, and printing a mini-statement at an ATM will cost $1 compared with nothing today. Stopping payment on a check will cost $34 instead of $32, and overdraft protection transfers go to $12 from $10.
Wells Fargo
Free checking was offered with no strings in every state but California. In California, Wells charged $5 a month unless customers maintained a minimum balance of $1,000 or had a direct deposit of $100 or more.
In July, it stopped offering those options to new customers. Instead, customers in all states were offered Value Checking, which costs $5 per month. That fee can be waived with a $1,500 minimum daily balance or direct deposit of at least $250 a month.
Like most banks, Wells offers other accounts with different features, fees and ways to avoid them.
On Saturday, testing began for a big overhaul of Bank of America's checking accounts in Arizona, Georgia and Massachusetts. In those states, the bank is offering new customers four accounts, all with different fees and ways to avoid them.
In non-test states, BofA offers three personal accounts. Its mass-market account - My Access Checking - charges $9 monthly unless you set up direct deposit or maintain a minimum average balance of $1,500 or more.
In the test states, the most comparable account is BofA Enhanced, which charges $15 per month. To avoid the fee, customers must deposit at least $2,000 a month (it doesn't have to be direct deposit), use a BofA credit card at least once a month or maintain a $5,000 minimum balance in linked deposit accounts.
After testing and tweaking the accounts, BofA will roll them out nationwide next year.
New checking accounts were announced in September. Citi's basic banking account charges $8 monthly, which can be avoided by completing five or more transactions a month including direct deposit (of any amount), debit-card purchases, bill payments, checks paid, auto deductions or ATM cash withdrawal.
Previously, with the basic banking package, there was a $3.50 per month fee in California regardless of usage. Existing customers could stick with that package or switch to the new one.
Online banks
Many offer free checking, and some pay interest to boot.
Charles Schwab Bank, for example, offers an FDIC-insured checking account with no monthly fees and one requirement: that you link it to a Schwab brokerage account, which you don't have to fund or use.
The checking account provides free checks, free online bill pay and will reimburse customers for ATM fees charged by any bank, including ones overseas.
It also pays interest; today's rate is 0.25 percent.
You'll generally have to make your banking transactions by phone, mail or online. Only a few Schwab brokerage branches, mostly in the Bay Area, will allow you to do Schwab banking business.
Credit unions
Many community banks and credit unions will continue to offer free checking, in part because they are not subject to some of the regulations that will squeeze revenues at big banks.
Diana Dykstra, president and chief executive of the California and Nevada Credit Union League, checked with six credit unions this week. All but one have free checking and plan to maintain it.
The San Francisco Fire Credit Union offers free checking with no strings attached. Its members can use a network of free ATMs, and if they incur fees at another ATM, the credit union will refund them.
Like most credit unions today, it has expanded its membership. "We are open to any resident or employee in San Francisco," says its chief, Darren Herrmann.

$379 Million in September -
Canada swung to a budget surplus in September from a deficit a year earlier, on gains in corporate and payroll tax receipts and a drop in outlays on a onetime payout in 2013 to help Alberta deal with devastating floods.
Canada's federal government recorded a budget surplus of $379 million ($334.5 Million USD) compared with at C$3.77 billion deficit a year earlier.
The improvement in Canada's public finances reinforces the Conservative government's confidence that it will easily meet its target of returning to a budget surplus in the fiscal year starting April 1st, 2015.
Public debt fell 5.4% to C$22.23 billion. Canada has taken advantage of rock-bottom rates to tap the ultra-long bond market, or debt with a maturity over 30 years.

Blearily eyed from waking up early to stand in line for a midnight Black Friday opening? Cross-eyed from scouring dozens of newspaper circulars for coupons?
Or maybe you're simply feeling like a vampire, in particular part of the Cullen clan of the "Twilight" film sagas?
While some lined up last weekend for doorbusters, millions of Twihards (as film's fanatical fans refer to themselves) lined up to see "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn—Part 1" which raked in some $62.3 million in the five days since Thanksgiving.
To answer the call (shriek?) of fans who love all living (or dead) to do with vampires, Coastal.com, a leading e-tailer of contact lenses and glasses, is offering special effect contact lenses.
"Who wouldn't want to look like they're right out of Stephanie Meyer's vamp-infested world?" ask the folks at Coastal. "As any Twihard will tell you, these vamps possess supernatural beauty: flawless pale skin that sparkles in the sunlight, the texture and feel of marble, and eyes that could stop any human right where they stand."
Ranging from liquid gold, topaz eyes to bright red (like a newbie vampire), the special effects line is sure to be among the most creepy offerings found among Santa's list this year.
The terrifying contact lenses start at retails of $27.99 and up at www.Coastal.com.

Harding can't exercise its rights
As a parent of children at Harding Academy, I have been involved for years in the development of the campus. Harding has had numerous neighborhood meetings to make known its plans to have a park that improves both the neighborhood and the school. We have spent 12 years purchasing property with our intentions clearly stated.
We've also compromised with the purported "leaders" of the neighborhood. What compromises you ask? We do not use the streets of the Belle Meade Links Triangle neighborhood to take our children to and from school. But I do believe we pay the taxes to maintain the streets. We provide police traffic control in the morning and afternoon. We pay for valet services for school functions to decrease the parking in the neighborhood. We do everything possible to be good neighbors.
And now we've been told that we cannot exercise our rights as property owners and build a park because there might be a zoning change. And there hasn't been one meeting to discuss a zoning change. Our rights, your rights, everybody's rights are written in law; they are not written with a "maybe, might, could."
The voices you've published in your paper are the voices of a few neighbors; there are many families in the Links who would welcome the park. Why don't you let us be heard? Maybe because it's against the law to deny property rights on what might happen.
What gives with Harding, Links?
Your recent article about Harding Academy and Belle Meade Links begs more information (May 9, "Metro halts Harding plans," p. 1). Harding has legally acquired the 12 houses over the past 10 years, and each transaction was posted in your newspaper. We have had public meetings with our neighbors in the Links, bent over backward to accommodate their requests, and planned a beautiful addition to their neighborhood, essentially a park for their use after school hours. Now, illegally, the Mayor's Office has put a hold on well-thought-out plans because there may be legislation introduced. What gives?
Harding fields to be beneficial
My family lives on Windsor Drive, in very close proximity to the athletic fields planned by Harding Academy. While our children presently attend Harding Academy, we plan to be residents of the Belle Meade Links neighborhood for many years to come and thus have given the Harding project close scrutiny. Protection of our property values, and the potential benefit to our neighborhood children, are our foremost concerns.
It is our opinion that the Harding field project will add desirable urban green space to our neighborhood. Harding's intentions as to the use of this land has been known for years in the neighborhood; and it is the school's right to make use of this land, within current legal restraints, as it sees fit. These beautiful fields will be an attribute to our neighborhood.
Harding Academy has made it known that the fields will be open to use by all neighborhood residents and their children. The additional pledge by the school to bind itself by restricting the use of the land, and prohibiting further encroachment in the neighborhood, together provide assurance that the Belle Meade Links area will substantially benefit by the presence of the Harding fields.
Nashville needs more green space for its schoolchildren. The Metro government should give this project its full support.
Founders' give, take made nation
I would like to comment about the book review of Founding Brothers done by Larry and Saralee Woods (May 8, "Ellis rewinds the clock to 1790," p. 23). Both seem to be critical of the "Founding Brothers" for not taking strong antislavery stands; however, slavery was just emerging as an American social/political/economic/geographic issue in the late-1700s and would culminate as a major cause for the splitting of the country in 1861.
I suggest that had the Founding Brothers not made compromises on the slavery issue, there would not have been a United States to split. Our country was blessed to have this assemblage of personalities at this time in history. We were also so very fortunate that they were wise enough and flexible enough to put all the former colonies together under the Constitution, even if it still had flaws, rather than see a balkanization of North America.

Omega-3 Fats and ADHD
Can a daily fish-oil supplement improve mental focus?
"Very good article on omega-3 fats in your June 2010 Magazine thank you. However would like to see a listing of items high in omega-6 fats. "
When he was younger, 16-year-old Bennett Jackson of Colorado Springs struggled in school. "He was easily distracted," says his mother, Suzanne. "He'd see a leaf fall outside and want to go chase it." At 7, Bennett was diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)—characterized by an inability to concentrate, impulsivity and increased motor activity. His doctor started him on a stimulant drug, which vastly improved his symptoms. Later Bennett learned he had a cardiovascular condition that rendered his use of the drugs risky.
Four million Americans find relief from ADHD in stimulants, such as Ritalin and Concerta, which boost neurotransmitters involved in mental focus. But recently, concern over cardiovascular risks prompted a Food and Drug Administration advisory panel to vote in favor of labeling such stimulants with prominent warnings. Not all experts agree with the decision. "Used appropriately, these medications are no more harmful than caffeine—unless you have an underlying cardiovascular problem," says Edward Hallowell, M.D., a psychiatrist in Sudbury, Massachusetts. "And it's not clear that the number of cardiovascular deaths linked with stimulants is greater than what would occur randomly in the general population. I wouldn't tell my patients to stop taking them."
Promise From the Sea
Still, for people with ADHD who can't (or choose not to) use stimulants, fish oil may offer new hope. "Anecdotally, fish oil, which is very safe, has helped those with ADHD," says Hallowell, who recommends fish-oil supplements to all his patients.
Small studies uphold the hypothesis. In a randomized, controlled trial, Alex Richardson, Ph.D., a senior research fellow at Oxford, found that fatty-acid supplementation (800 mg per day) for three months significantly improved reading, spelling and behavior in children with attention disorders. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center reported a correlation between higher blood levels of omega-3 fats and fewer impulsive behaviors.
Larger trials are under way—but some don't need controlled studies to believe in the benefits. "No magic pill will get rid of my son's attention deficit," says Suzanne Jackson. "But fish oils have made a noticeable difference in his ability to focus."
Bottom Line: The science is new, but experts say a daily fish-oil supplement may improve mental focus and probably will provide cardiovascular benefits.

Steel an 'Extraordinary' Leader
By Christina Rexrode, The Charlotte Observer, N.C.
Jul. 10--Even in a coterie of strong leaders, Robert Steel stands out.As chairman of Duke University's trustees, Steel commands a 37-member board that includes a former speaker of the N.C. House, the president of Shaw University, and the head of General Motors. Fellow trustees describe him as a thoughtful listener and a steady, intelligent leader. He headed the search committee that in 2003 selected the current university president, Richard Brodhead, and he has guided the board during trying times including the 2006 lacrosse scandal.
Steel is skilled at mediating between big personalities, said Frank Emory of Charlotte, a trustee and a partner at Hunton & Williams law firm.
"Right after he helped lead the search for the current president, Coach (Mike) Krzyzewski showed up and said, 'I'm thinking about going to the Lakers,' and he was very involved in that and gave good steady advice to the administration," Emory recalled.
Steel, married and a father of three daughters, is approachable and down-to-earth, trustees said.
"He is scary smart, very steady, good at picking out what's important, not afraid of taking the lead and taking the heat," Emory said. "My mother would say he's been well raised."
Wachovia's former CEO, Ken Thompson, was known for his commitment to the Charlotte area. When he was ousted on June 1, some worried that the new CEO would be a geographic outsider with no compelling interest in the area.
They needn't worry about that, said state Rep. Dan Blue, another Duke trustee. "A native North Carolinian coming back to North Carolina? I think it's what ideal stories are made of," said Blue, a Raleigh Democrat who is also a former speaker of the House. "He's one of the most talented people I know, and also very civic minded."
Steel is deeply committed to the arts, Blue added: "He's the best gift that the Charlotte arts will ever receive."
Steel's North Carolina roots run deep. His father, the late Charles Steel III, was a longtime member of the Durham City Council. He attended Durham public schools and, like both his parents, went to Duke University.
He began serving on the university's board of trustees in 1996; he and Lanty Smith, Wachovia's interim CEO, overlapped on the board for six years. Steel has been chairman since 2005.
Kimberly Jenkins, a trustee for eight years, said she admired the way Steel broke the news to the losing candidates after a new university president was chosen. "He met with them face to face if he could, and tried to be personal about it," she said.
For a while, Jenkins kept a list of Steel's witticisms. "He often says, 'As my wife tells me, I got one in a row right,'" she said.
Jenkins, who teaches entrepreneurship and leadership classes at Duke and UNC Chapel Hill, worked for Bill Gates during Microsoft Corp.'s early years and for a company founded by Steve Jobs called NeXT. Of Steel, Jenkins said, "He is one of the most extraordinary leaders I have ever worked with."
She and the other trustees also praised the way that Steel encourages all the trustees to voice their opinions, calling on people who might not otherwise speak up.
"He manages to be sure that everybody gets a chance to speak," said Janet Hill, a trustee and the vice president of a management consulting firm in Washington, D.C. "That's a skill that not every leader has."
Hill's son, Grant, is a Duke basketball alum who now plays for the Phoenix Suns.
Last year, when the state cleared the Duke lacrosse players accused of sexual offense, Steel issued a statement to the campus. "There is much to learn from the events that we have lived through, and we intend to put this learning to use," Steel wrote. "Duke is a great university that steps up to challenges and opportunities, and together we will use this moment to make our community stronger."
