Protect Yourself Against Fraud
UPS is a global company with one of the most recognised and admired brands in the world. Fraudsters wish to take advantage of that recognition and the trust that comes with the UPS name. These unauthorised third parties may inappropriately use the UPS name or its services to perpetuate fraudulent activities, and target your personal and sensitive business information. They create tempting downloads and attractive web sites to lure you to links that will prompt you to enter sensitive information or download malware. Malware - short for malicious software - includes viruses and spyware. These programs can impair your computers performance, damage your data, and allow fraudsters to steal your personal information.
UPS takes fraud - and the protection of our customers' information - very seriously. UPS strives to keep you informed of scams that could cause harm. While UPS is not liable for the actions of third parties, we are working to prevent and detect fraud where possible.
Fraud itself is nothing new, and the same types of fraud schemes that have existed for many years can now be found online, in e-mail, and through other computer-based methods. Provided below are some suggested fraud prevention measures and information about common types of fraud schemes:
Working with You to Protect Your Account Information
Protecting Yourself
Fraudulent Checks or Money Orders

Working with You to Protect Your Account Information
Business runs on information, and making sure your data is safe is absolutely critical. UPS is committed to helping you protect your account information and keeping your transactions secure.
We are vigilant in proactively implementing processes that reduce the risk of fraud, and we'll work with you to help you steer clear of problems.
Account Number Protection
Similar to your checking account number appearing on your personal checks, it's not whether the account number is visible, but it's how the account number is protected behind-the-scenes that really matters. UPS uses sophisticated protection measures to safeguard the account number from unauthorised use.
Online Protection
When you ship online through UPS Internet Shipping or through UPS WorldShip
software, enhanced authentication requirements allow us to confirm your identity. Additional layers of security are also required for ordering supplies, and using UPS Delivery Intercept
Payment Card Protection
The ups.com website is encrypted with a 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to protect account and payment card (for example, a debit or credit card) information. We match payment card information to the payment card billing address, and investigate any unauthorized charges that may be reported.
Identifying and Reducing Threats
We use sophisticated trend and data analysis to identify fraud. Our participation in a cyberspace fraud task force keeps us well informed on the issues affecting the postal and shipping industry globally.

Protecting Yourself
While UPS does what it can to minimise the risk of fraud, you should realise that you are the first line of defence in protecting yourself. Here are some additional steps to help prevent e-mail and Internet-related fraud:
Never respond to or act upon e-mails, or select Web links from any unknown source that requires you to provide, update, or verify personal, financial, or other confidential information.
Be wary of any suspicious e-mails or phone calls asking for you to validate your UPS account information.
Use a secure Internet browser.
Do not give out your My UPS user ID and password.
Change your password regularly.
Create strong passwords by using a combination of letters and numbers.
Always use up-to-date virus protection software and consider using spyware detection programmes.
Equip your computer with either a software or hardware firewall.
Do not access confidential information at Internet cafes, public libraries, etc.
If you are using a wireless device, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions on establishing the services and settings to ensure a protective level of security.
Here are some additional steps to help protect against reference number tracking fraud:
Be wary of any suspicious emails or phone calls asking for you to validate tracking numbers with reference numbers
Do not give out tracking numbers to unknown parties
Create unique reference numbers by using a combination of letters and numbers
Change reference numbers frequently
Being aware and protecting your sensitive information is the best way to avoid fraud.

Fraudulent Checks or Money Orders
The ability of anyone to purchase anything, from anywhere, at any time of the day or night, offers incredible opportunities to each of us and to each of our virtual neighbours around the globe. Unfortunately, some of those neighbours do not have our best interests at heart. One fraud type involves sending fraudulent checks or money orders, usually by UPS Next Day Air® service, either in response to an online advertisement or as part of a fraudulent job offer. Do not assume that the method of delivery lends any legitimacy to the contents of the package.
If you have received an unexpected check or money order, you should assume it is fraudulent. You should also be extremely cautious if you receive a check or money order for an amount greater than the expected amount. You may be contacted by e-mail with a request to cash or deposit the money and return a portion of it using Western Union or other means. The fraudster will advise that you keep a portion of the money, which is less than generous considering the original check is probably fraudulent. Even the bank may initially believe the check or money order to be legitimate, only to discover the truth later and return it to you for repayment.
Back to Top
Websites Fraudulently Using the UPS Name or Brand
In the past, successful fraudsters may have needed "an honest face." However, today's criminals only need a legitimate-looking website or e-mail to commit fraud.
We regularly monitor the Internet for the unauthorised use of the UPS brand to protect our customers. The unauthorised or unlicensed use of UPS intellectual property (trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets) is monitored and acted upon, if known. Please note that some fraudulent websites may have the look and feel of a legitimate UPS website. To be assured you are accessing an authorised UPS website, use "ups.com" or "international.ups.com" rather than a link embedded in another source.

Spam and Phishing E-mails Fraudulently Using the UPS Name or Brand
Fraudulent e-mails adopt many different forms and are the unauthorised actions of third parties not associated with UPS. These e-mail messages referred to as "phishing" or "spoofing" are becoming more common and may appear legitimate by incorporating company brands, colours, or other legal disclaimers. Help protect yourself by becoming familiar with these methods of fraud:
Often referred to as "junk mail," spam consists of e-mail messages that are unsolicited by the recipient and that target the recipient with direct mail messages.
The term "phishing," as in fishing for confidential information, refers to a scam in which the sender attempts to fraudulently obtain and use personal or financial information.
Please be advised that UPS does not request payments, personal information, financial information, account numbers, IDs, passwords, or copies of invoices in an unsolicited manner through e-mail, mail, phone, or fax or specifically in exchange for the transportation of goods or services. UPS accepts no responsibility for any costs or charges incurred as a result of fraudulent activity.
Awareness and recognition of fraudulent letters, e-mails and phishing attempts is vital to protecting yourself against theft and other related crimes. Common indicators that an e-mail might be fraudulent include the following:
Design Flaws:
An e-mail containing distorted or irregularly sized logos
Poor Grammar:
Grammatical errors and excessive use of exclamation points
Incorrectly spelled words or links to altered websites (For example, modifications or variations of the legitimate www.ups.com website address, such as www.unitedparcelservices.com.)
UPS sends legitimate e-mail from several URLs, including ups.com and upsemail.com.
Sense of Urgency:
Alarming messages requesting immediate action, such as "Your account will be suspended within 24 hours." or "Contact us immediately to claim your parcel or prize."
Unexpected Requests:
A request attempting to obtain money, financial information (e.g. bank account or payment card numbers), or personal information in exchange for the delivery of a package or other article
Communication Gaps:
An e-mail that does not provide an alternative method for communicating the requested information (i.e. telephone, mail, or physical locations)
Deceptive Link:
A link contained within an e-mail that appears to direct your browser to a known, safe site but actually directs your browser to another location, potentially to an unsafe or fraudulent site. You can detect this by hovering over the link with your cursor. This causes the actual destination of the link to display in a pop-up, the lower left of your status bar, or other location depending on your e-mail client. It is suspicious if the actual destination does not match the address in the link. Also be suspicious of links containing numbers in place of letters, abbreviations, and slight misspellings in the link.
Some legitimate UPS communications may come in the form of an e-mail with an "epackage" link contained within the e-mail. These messages are designed to increase the protection around sensitive information, and the associated link will always start with https://epackage1.ups.com.

Phone Calls, Letters, Faxes, and Other Communications Fraudulently Using the UPS Name or Brand
In addition to fraudulent websites and e-mails, fraudsters also may use the telephone, a fax machine, letters, or other communication methods in an attempt to gather your personal information. These fraudulent communications are the unauthorised actions of third parties not associated with UPS. Fraudulent communications claiming to be from UPS may claim to indicate a package is waiting to be delivered. These communications will generally ask you for personal information and/or a payment in advance of receiving a package, or may indicate a need to update your account by obtaining personal information or a copy of your UPS invoice.
If UPS contacts you regarding a package, the UPS representative will always be able to provide a tracking number, which you can verify on our website. You also should know that UPS may contact you from time to time regarding service offerings or for marketing purposes, but you may always verify our phone number and call back before proceeding.
If you are ever unsure of the validity of a communication, ask for the caller's first and last name and a call-back telephone number.

Work From Home Scams
Most illegitimate "work from home" job scams can be avoided by watching out for unrealistic pay promises with no experience necessary, or jobs that require you to make a payment before divulging specifics. Some of these scams, however, are more difficult to identify as fraudulent, and may result in you being personally liable. Some identified examples include:
Payroll (or other checks) Processor:
The scam version of this job involves printing and sending "payroll" or other checks or money orders (usually by UPS Next Day
Air or other overnight delivery). The fraudster may have provided or asked you to purchase check production software and will provide or ask you to obtain a UPS (or competitor) account number. The fraudster may also provide a bank account number to use when printing the checks, a digital signature, and a list of names, addresses, and amounts for payment. The fraudulent checks are then sent to people who advertised items for sale. They are asked to cash checks, often written for an amount greater than the asking price, and to return a portion of the money along with the purchased item. The checks are later returned by the bank as fraudulent.
Mystery Shopping:
Legitimate mystery shoppers shop in stores and provide feedback to the store (or a third party) regarding the experience. In the scam version of this job, "mystery shoppers" are asked to use funds sent to them via check or money order - later determined to be fraudulent. This sometimes involves wiring a portion of the money back to "mystery shop" a third party (e.g. Western Union).
Returns Processing Position:
The scam version of this job offers part-time work to receive and process incoming shipments from a company's clients. The companies often sell electronics, or baby accessories, or automotive parts. You are instructed to inspect the packages and to follow instructions received from your "Returns Manager", such as to repack and send the merchandise to another location. There may be no initial expense outlay, and all supplies are ordered and sent to you for this position. Communication is done primarily via- email.

What would normally be the simplest of exercises has turned into an apparent struggle over the direction of the Fort Ord Reuse Authority.
For the second month in a row, the FORA board failed to elect its full executive committee, deadlocking 6-6 between Supervisor Jane Parker and Sand City Mayor Dave Pendergrass for member at large. The swing vote, Supervisor Dave Potter, was absent from the meeting.
Given Potter's often-cool relationship with Parker, Pendergrass is a safe bet.
Monterey City Councilwoman Nancy Selfridge, who voted for Parker, said Friday's vote split down pro-development and "smart growth" lines.
Del Rey Oaks Mayor Jerry Edelen, who was elected board chairman, planned to bring the matter back at a special meeting this Friday. However, Parker is scheduled to be out of town, so he put it off until March 16.
Outside of the full board, the executive committee is considered the most powerful. It establishes all agendas and conducts annual reviews of the executive officer and authority counsel. It also makes recommendations to the entire board, which are often followed.
Friday marked the second time the board voted for committee members this year. In January, it elected a nominated slate of Edelen as chairman; Marina Mayor Pro Tem Frank O'Connell, first vice-chairman; Seaside Mayor Ralph Rubio, second vice-chairman; Potter, past chairman; and Pendergrass as member at large.
Parker and Carmel Mayor Jason Burnett were also nominated, but each lost on an 8-5 vote.
That election was later voided as illegal because it was taken on a secret ballot rather than voice vote on the direction of Potter and FORA counsel Jerry Bowden. The public was also denied the opportunity to comment before the vote.
Confusion reigned when the issue returned Friday, with prolonged discussion over how the vote should be taken. Eventually Edelen and O'Connell were unanimously confirmed.
Then came the vote for second vice-chair, for which Parker and Rubio were nominated.
Supporters for Rubio, a carpenter's union leader who retook his mayoral seat in the November election, reasoned that he should replace former Seaside Mayor Felix Bachofner as second vice-chairman, maintaining the city's representation on the committee.
Backers of the progressive Parker said FORA's bylaws call for rotation of officers and Rubio had served a stint as FORA chairman during his last term as Seaside mayor. Parker lost on a 7-5 vote, with Pacific Grove Mayor Bill Kampe delivering the deciding vote.
But when Pendergrass came up against Parker, also nominated as member at large, Kampe switched his vote and gave Parker the nod and a 6-6 tie.
Parker said she believes she deserves to be on the powerful committee because she is the only board member who represents all of Fort Ord, as well as all of Marina and parts of Seaside and Salinas.
According to the 2010 census, Parker's District 4 represents 79,183 residents. As mayor of Sand City, Pendergrass represents 334.
Pendergrass has already served at least four terms on the executive committee, an apparent violation of the spirit, if not the letter, of the FORA bylaws that call for no officer to serve more than two consecutive terms. Bowden, FORA's counsel, has stated the rule does not apply to Pendergrass because he is a member at large, not an officer.
Parker said officer rotations are a healthy policy and the norm on most public boards.
"I feel like the vote shows other people on the FORA board recognize some rotation is a good idea," she said. "FORA has been under quite a bit of scrutiny and has been discovered to be not necessarily very transparent or responsive or having the best internal protocols.
"At least some of the FORA board members feel the kind of perspective I bring might help FORA correct some of these things before they become a public embarrassment."
The vote mirrors the power struggle seen in the "guiding principles," an effort by the land-use jurisdictions, since torpedoed, to exclude the cities of Carmel, Pacific Grove, Sand City and Salinas from land-use decisions on Fort Ord.
Edelen said it was because of the guiding principles that he was supporting Pendergrass, as a representative of a non-land-use jurisdiction.
"The bottom line for me is we have already one 600-pound gorilla on the committee in Dave Potter," he said. "I really don't think we need another supervisor on the committee."
Ironically, Bowden informed the board after it had elected Rubio as second vice-chairman that the position for past chairman was not necessarily reserved for the immediate past chair. The board could have elected Rubio for that position and Parker as second-chairwoman, replacing Potter as the only supervisor on the committee.
Bowden said it was too late after the fact for the board to make the switch.
While Edelen took the executive committee off the agenda for Friday's special meeting, the board will take up another controversial vote. On Friday, the board restored the original "formulaic approach" for setting developer fees. At Parker's suggestion, clarifying language had been added to the regulation, maintaining FORA's authority over its capital improvement projects.
Developers had threatened to pull projects planned for Marina if the language was not removed. The board met that demand on a 10-1 vote, with Parker dissenting. It must take a second vote Friday because the first was not unanimous.

The Dorsky Collects: Recent Acquisitions 2008-2012
Like all museums, the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art depends on the generosity of others when it comes to expanding its permanent collection. This exhibition focuses on a representative selection of both two-and three-dimensional artworks created by artists from around the world which have come into the museum's collection from 2008 through 2012. A short list of artists includes W. Eugene Smith, Andy Warhol, Richard Hunt, Dorothy Dehner, Harold Edgerton, Mary Frank and Utagawa Hiroshige.
Exhibition: "Fields of Vision: Work by SUNY New Paltz Art Faculty
In our post-modern society, the art world is both more connected and more fragmented than ever before. New York City, once the capital of that world, is now just one of a network of regional centers spanning the globe. And close-up, contemporary practices appear to be a mash-up of disparate concepts, political agendas, media, and styles. Fields of Vision explores how art and design being made by full-time Department of Art faculty at the State University of New York at New Paltz fits into this local/global picture.

Customer Product Reviews
Customer Rating:
I finished my basement project using your rolled rubber flooring earlier this year and wanted to share some pictures of it. I used the 3/8" Black Rolled Rubber with 10% Red Brick Flec. This project consisted of 600 square feet of the 4 foot rolls. The ease of the installation allowed 3 of us to install an entire basement in 1 evening. The precision 4 foot cut rolls created a perfect fit from one roll to the next. The floor is fantastic for a my workout area as well as general. It is easy to clean and does not absorb water spills. I floored my basement, tool room, storage room, closet, and steps. Because my basement floor is not completely flat, after laying a thin dimpled sub floor, the rubber mat easily covered the small gradual changes in elevation.
Customer Rating:
We employ a somewhat unconventional use of your product. In early 2011 the Montgomery Fencing Club was moving into a new space which asked us to protect the wood floor from stray points which they were concerned might gouge it. Whatever we used also had to be movable as we were moving into a shared, community space. We decided that most standard floor protective systems would not hold up under the stresses of our sport, so we began to explore more heavy-duty products. Complicating our efforts further are the dimensions of our playing surface: A fencing strip is 1-2m wide and 14m long. While there are some products specifically manufactured for our purpose, they are prohibitively expensive for our club. We found your rolled rubber products which offered a continuous 4 ft x 50 ft surface which is nearly perfect for our needs, particularly when combined with your very reasonable price and in-stock availability. We ordered a roll of 3/8 inch black, rubber flooring to test. It did not take us long to order three more. The strips have performed very well, and look good in the process. We used them for a tournament and received compliments from the visiting fencers. One even inquired about them as a possible portable strip for remote demonstrations. At 400 pounds per roll, I did not recommend it for that purpose, but I passed along your company's contact information. However, if someone has easy, level access to on-site storage, they are manageable as temporary flooring and work well for fencing strips. We worked with Paul Manzavrakos for the order. He was very helpful throughout the process, including follow-up questions after the sale. If we find ourselves in a position to expand the club, Greatmats will be the first place I look.
Customer Rating:
It does the job. I get to throw my weights on the mats, lay on them and not feel uncomfortable as I would with concrete below it in my garage gym. It's convenient because it's already pre-sized so you don't have to worry about getting a Quote. I'ld say get a thickness thicker than this one for olympic lifting though. It's good, but would be better with a thicker matting. It was my first time buying matting, so this was just a test run for me. Other than that, it's a great product =)
Fresno, CA
I bought the 1/4 inch 4 by 10 feet rolls and love the product. They actually came 4 by 10 feet 6 inches. I put in my basement using only a little double sided tape here and there to install. Love it. Thank You.
Hampstead, MD
This is a great product. I bought two 4x10 rolls to use in my home gym area to protect the floor from weights and to provide some better traction for cardio workouts. They immediately rolled flat and are easy to clean and maintain.
Needham, MA
Perfect for protecting hardwood floors from dumbbells in our home workout studio. Good size for one person working out at a time. Would recommend to friends.
Canton, NY
It was a basically as expected. It was easy to cut to size. I use it for P90X in my living room. It's working out great! My sales rep Tina Hoverman was professional and knowledgeable.
fort worth, TX
I have ordered two of the 4x10 rolled mats and they have worked so well in my home basement exercise room that I have ordered a third roll. They will be a good floor tile protector for my equipment to rest on.

When requested we use the rubber mats to line the beds of our fiberglass utility bodies. These mats hold up very well under some very heavy use. We like them very much.

A great product, very happy with the way it will protect our wood floors with all the gym equipment on them. Great service!!!
Bellingham, WA
product is exactly what I ordered and what I expected so that was great.
South San Francisco, CA
I ordered this product as an underlayment for my home gym in my garage to protect the concrete and the equipment as well. So far, it's proven to be functional and durable. I was a bit worried about how difficult it might be to cut, but with a sharp blade, it was easy to cut it to the dimensions that I needed. It seems to work well for a gym floor as there's no discernible give so it stays solid and stable under your feet for exercises like squats and and deadlifts. Yet it provides adequate cushioning to prevent chipping the concrete or the weights. It's a great product and I'd definitely recommend and buy again.
This mat is great! Arrived on time and has been perfect for my home gym. I lift weights, do aerobics, and plyometrics on it. Works very well, doesn't slip, and seems to be very sturdy.
Largo, FL
i used it in my private gym for a extra layer of protection for the poewerlifters to deadlift and the heavy dumbells users to dump,so far it is working great!
rochester, WA
Good product, great for the shed I have my gym.
palo alto, CA
Just as expected. What can you say about rolled rubber? Heavy. 4x10 foot roll. Shipped by Great Mats and received in an adequate time frame. Good customer service.
Lexington, NC
Good Product
We are using it on one of our kennel floors.

Hello all,
New to the site and to Martin Archery! This year I purchased a Martin Cougar and so far love it!! Anyway, down to my problem and since I know just enough to make more problems I wanted to ask the pros before I tinker too much more.
Just went back to fixed blade broadheads (Muzzy 3 blade 100 grain) from the Spitfires. I liked the damage that the Spitfires caused, but I haven't gotten a pass through in 3 deer! I am shooting a 30 inch arrow at 75 lbs draw, I haven't ever had trouble with pass throughs before, anyway........
Here's the problem, my field points were hitting right on the money and the broadheads were hitting 6" low. So, after tuning the broadhead to the arrow(I used the regular blades, not the practice ones that come in the pack), moving my nocking point down a touch, the muzzy's are hitting perfect, BUT now my field points are hitting 6" high and to the right. I shot several groups of broadheads and field points........same results.
Did I take my bow out of tune for the broadheads? Do I wait until season is over and resight the field tips for out of season shooting? Any ideas?

Color(s): tricolored; black with tan markings and white flashings
The exact origin of this breed is unknown, but many believe they began their existence as a farm dog in the Swiss mountains. Their large hardy build and calm nature made them ideal for pulling carts, herding cattle, and being a farmer's companion. Bernese Mountain Dogs are a highly versatile breed.
The Bernese Mountain Dog is commonly referred to as the "Berner". This wonderful breed has a long list of attributes. They are strong, agile, and highly intelligent. Their gentle demeanor and stunning appearance has contributed to this breed's growing popularity. There are few dog breeds that can match the Bernese Mountain Dogs striking appearance, work ethic, and companion skills.
This breed is by nature, loving and alert. They are generally tolerant, sweet, and gentle. The Bernese Mountain Dog is typically excellent with children. However, since they are a large breed, they should never be left unsupervised with small children or children unknown to the dog. They thrive on human companionship and activity and may develop behavioral problems if they are deprived of social interaction. The Berner is protective but is not aggressive unless threatened or provoked. They may be aloof to strangers and have a tendency to be shy. This breed is a devoted indoor member of the family and a willing outdoor helper.
The Bernese Mountain Dog requires daily brushing, with extra care needed during their heavy seasonal shedding. A periodic bath or dry shampooing is recommended. They are typically a hardy breed, but may have a tendency to suffer from elbow or hip dysplasia, cancer, bloat, or eyelid problems. Their size and thick coat make them highly susceptible to heat stroke.
The Bernese Mountain Dog has a stunning weather-resistant tri-color double coat. The coat is black with symmetrical markings of white and rust, moderate in length and either slightly way or straight. It is very thick and has a bright natural sheen. This breed is a seasonal heavy shedder.
This breed benefits from early socialization and basic obedience. Bernese Mountain Dogs are extremely sensitive and will not respond to harsh or heavy-handed training methods. All training should be done with positive techniques such as respect, reward, love, fairness, and consistency.
The Bernese Mountain Dog needs an inordinate amount of exercise, interaction, and activity. They require a minimum half hour of vigorous exercise daily as well as several outside trips. They are not recommended for apartment dwelling, as they need a securely fenced large yard to run and play. They excel in conformation, obedience, tracking, herding, and agility.
If you are looking for Bernese Mountain Dog puppies for sale from reputable Bernese Mountain Dog breeders or to adopt Bernese Mountain Dogs from a Bernese Mountain Dog rescue then make sure you understand as much about the dog breeds you are interested in as you can.

The Harp 2.0 Refinance Program is designed to refinance borrowers whose mortgages are underwater — those who owe more on a home than the home is worth.
The Home Affordable Refinance Program was announced in March 2009. It was designed by the government to help 5 million underwater or equity-challenged
borrowers nationally.
In October 2011, in an effort to help more borrowers, the loan-to-value criteria was lifted and is now unlimited.
Why it's needed in San Joaquin Valley
In Stanislaus and San Joaquin counties, at least 60 percent of mortgages are underwater.
News sources indicate that in San Joaquin County, 62.4 percent of borrowers owe more than their homes are worth. Compare this with Stanislaus County, where the rate is 60 percent.
This also increases short sale and foreclosure rates.
Nationally, the underwater rate is 23 percent — for all of California, 33 percent.
Who qualifies for Harp 2.0 loans
Those who qualify to refinance through Harp 2.0 have mortgages that were purchased by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac by June 1, 2009.
Credit requirements may allow one mortgage late in the past 12 months, but none in the past six months. Borrowers must be current on their mortgages.
Freddie Mac is the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp., sometimes abbreviated FHLMC. It was created by the Emergency Home Finance Act of 1970 to create a secondary market for home mortgages. It packages these into mortgage-backed securities and resells them to investors.
Fannie Mae is the Federal National Mortgage Association.
Benefits of Harp 2.0
Refinancing with Harp 2.0 can put more money in the pockets of qualifying borrowers by providing a lower interest rate.
Those who have adjustable mortgages may be able to refinance to a fixed mortgage. This also helps stabilize the real-estate industry.
Appraisals may be waived, in some cases.
Challenges of Harp 2.0
Of the two parts of Harp 2.0, the Fannie Mae Program is easier to qualify for. The debt-to-income ratio may even go as high as 65 percent. Closing costs can be financed.
The Freddie Mac Program typically allows a debt-to-income ratio of only 45 percent.
There is a limitation on closing costs financed, so borrowers must typically bring in one mortgage payment or more to closing. However, they will skip the next month's mortgage payment.
Rates are higher than standard conventional rates but are still running in the low to high 4 percent range.
Process to apply
Those who wish to apply for Harp 2.0 refinancing should contact a loan officer.
The program deadline is Dec. 31.
To determine whether your loan is owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the links are as follows. A loan officer can easily look this up for you.
• www.fanniemae.com/loanlookup/
• https://ww3.freddiemac.com/corporate/
Your loan officer will pull credit reports and obtain additional information to provide you with a quote. Then, expect to submit full refinance documentation of income and assets.
This program can be good for consumers and the market. It can be a good alternative for borrowers who have worked to stay current on their mortgage and should have the opportunity to refinance.

" Nice Jeans "
The Review I just read said the jeans fit too small, I also wear size 10 & they fit me perfect, I love them! She must have got a pair of jeans mislabeled like she said. They are very comfortable & not heavy, they look good! :)
San Jose, Ca
These run 1 if not 2 sizes way too small. I wear a size 10 and I couldn't even get the size 12 on. Based on how tight the size 12 was, I doubt I could even squeeze into a size 14. Either they were totally cut wrong, mislabeled or their sizing is WAY OFF for me. Very disappointed.

Fair-lending exams grow riskier
If you needed any more hints that fair-lending is becoming the new hot topic, the latest "news" that the FFIEC has revised and expanded the Interagency Fair-lending Examination Procedures is one giant clue.
- |
- Written by Nancy Derr-Castiglione
- |
- Comments: DISQUS_COMMENTS
The revised exam procedures update the fair-lending exam procedures that were originally issued by the agencies in 1999. According to the Fed's Consumer Affairs letter, the revised procedures particularly clarify procedures relating to pricing; the practices of steering and redlining; and broker relationships. They reflect the current environment and fair-lending concerns especially relating to subprime lending and nontraditional mortgage products.
In the previous exam procedures, there were 49 risk factors in the categories of Compliance Program, Overt Discrimination, Underwriting, Pricing, Redlining, Steering, and Marketing of Residential Products. In the new exam procedures, there are 55 risk factors in these same categories. In addition to new risk factors, many of the existing risk factors have been expanded and clarified.
An institution's compliance program, for example, represents seven fair-lending risk factors–or places where an institution has potential risk of fair-lending criticism. That's one more than before. The new risk factor focuses on an institution's training program. A weak or nonexistent fair-lending training program presents a fair-lending risk to the institution. The size, scope, and quality of the compliance program, including senior management involvement, was a fair-lending risk. That has now been expanded to also include the designation of a compliance officer and staffing.Have the regulators been noticing that financial institutions have been short-changing the staff count for fair-lending compliance lately? Maybe they all got re-assigned to the Bank Secrecy Act Department in recent years? Fair-lending problems previously found in an institution's products was a compliance program risk factor. That risk factor has now been expanded to include fair-lending problems found in any of the institution's subsidiaries as well.
Some of the other new and expanded risk factors in the categories of redlining, steering, and pricing introduce the concept of significant differences in higher-priced loans and nontraditional mortgage loans with negative effects (negative amortization, prepayment penalties, no escrows) in minority populations or areas with higher concentrations of minority populations. These aren't new concepts, however. The regulators have been issuing warnings and advisories about such practices for years. They are now in the examination procedures.
Some of the new risk factors under the Redlining category pull in Community Reinvestment Act concepts. This makes sense because fair-lending performance has a strong correlation with CRA performance. How an institution's assessment area is defined can be a fair-lending risk. A CRA assessment area drawn to exclude areas with relatively high concentrations of minority residents is a fair-lending risk factor. Having branch locations in minority neighborhoods that are opened for fewer hours a week than branch locations in non-minority neighborhoods is a risk factor.
That's just a sampling of what's new and improved in the fair-lending exam procedures. I highly recommend taking the new list of fair-lending risk factors (even those that aren't new) and conducting a risk assessment to see where your institution has risk. Make it a priority. The regulators certainly are.

Hey all,
I should be finished with editing RMP for the PACE NSC over ACF Nats weekend, so I will be playtesting my questions over the course of three days next week (4/24-4/26). We will be meeting at #nsc on slashnet.org at 7:30 PM PST (message me if you would like to be there and don't know how to get on IRC) Please come if you are able. I may have shown some of you my questions already; if that is the case, it is important for you to be there to offer not just help with the content, but also with grammar and style. I want these questions to be as best as is humanly possible before they are used.
If you are a high schooler reading this, don't even think about coming. You will be banned.

New numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show the unemployment rate has dropped from 7.9 percent to 7.7 percent.
Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 146,000 in November, and the unemployment rate edged down to 7.7 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment increased in retail trade, professional and business services, and healthcare.
Economists had predicted the unemployment rate would go up as a result of Hurricane Sandy. BLS said the storm didn't have a large impact on the new statistics.

Max Emanuel Cencic - Biography
A combination of beautiful, pure tone and passionate delivery has made countertenor Max Emanuel Cencic one of todays most sought after singers. In 2008, the German magazine Opernwelt said Mr Cencic is blessed with the finest countertenor voice of our day. Since then he has gone from strength to strength through many outstanding performances.
Born in 1976 in Zagreb, Cencic was perhaps destined to become a great countertenor, having first come to public attention aged six singing the Queen of the Nights aria from the Magic Flute. He went on to sing with the Vienna Boys Choir, touring widely and launching his solo career in 1992 as a male soprano, followed in 2001 as a countertenor.
Cencics interpretation of Nerone in Monteverdis Lincoronazione di Poppea in Basel was an early milestone in his career, prompting Opernwelt to name him Best New Singer of the Year 2003. Other notable roles included Perseo in Vivaldis long-forgotten serenata Andromeda Liberata (recorded live by Deutsche Grammophon), the title role in Handels rarely performed opera Faramondo, and the Herald in the world premiere of Aribert Reimanns Medea at the Vienna State Opera in 2010.
His iconic status among present-day countertenors was reinforced by the sensation he created in the title role of Vivaldis opera Farnace. Performed during the 2011-12 season in Paris, Lausanne, Amsterdam and Versailles, Cencic and the production achieved even wider success through widespread transmission on mezzoTV.
The crowning glory of Cencics 2012-13 season was the production, tour and recording of a newly-rediscovered opera, Leonardo Vincis Artaserse. The whole project was his idea, from the choice of work to the choice of cast. Originally premiered in Rome at a time when women were forbidden from performing on the public stage ‒ in 1730 ‒ this re-creation also featured an all-male cast, including five counter-tenors. Cencic sang the role of Mandane, and was rewarded for both his singing and the production with rave reviews. At the OpÕra national de Lorraine, the Theater an der Wien, the Cologne Opera, the OpÕra de Lausanne and the ThÕãtre des Champs-èlysÕes, every performance received a standing ovation. The production will be seen again between March and May 2014 in Cologne, Versailles and Amsterdam.
In November 2013 Cencic made his debut at the Frankfurt Opera in a production of Glucks Ezio. Solo appearances in the near future include performances of the programme Bach meets Pergolesis Stabat Mater, concerts of opera arias by Mozart and Rossini, and Orffs Carmina Burana. His 2014 schedule also includes appearances in Tamerlano in Versailles, Munich, Cologne, Vienna and Krakow.
Cencics Decca recording of Handels Alessandro, released in September 2012, has garnered six major awards, including Opera CD of the Year for 2013 from operaawards.com, and won rave reviews: Cencic is imperious hot-bloodedness personified (BBC Music Magazine), Max Emanuel Cencic commands the music totally, offering some of the most attractive tone of his distinguished recording career . . . (Opera News).
Cencic turns to works by Johann Adolf Hasse, with the 2014 Decca Classics release of Rokoko, a gripping collection of arias accompanied by George Petrou and Armonia Atenea.
Cencics extensive CD catalogue has won many awards, including eleven prizes for his Faramondo, four for a recital of Handel arias, and Germanys prestigious Echo Klassik prize for his Duetti album. He sang the role of Valentiniano in the recording of Glucks opera Ezio, which also won an Echo Klassik prize, as did Leonardo Vincis Artaserse (all Virgin Classics).
Cencic frequently appears in productions at major opera houses worldwide, including the Vienna State Opera, Bavarian State Opera, Semperoper Dresden, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Teatro Real in Madrid, Barcelonas Gran Teatre del Liceu, ThÕãtre des Champs-ElysÕes in Paris, La Monnaie in Brussels, Genevas Grand ThÕãtre and Teatro Nacional de SÐo Carlos in Lisbon. In concert he has performed in such major venues as New Yorks Carnegie Hall, Barbican Centre in London, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Viennas Musikverein, Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, Laeiszhalle Hamburg, Palais Garnier in Paris and Tokyos Opera Nomori, and at festivals in Ludwigsburg, Potsdam, Halle (Hðndel Festspiele), Spoleto (Due Mondi), Ambronay, Eisenstadt and Dubrovnik. He collaborates on a regular basis with conductors William Christie, RenÕ Jacobs, Ottavio Dantone, Diego Fasolis, Jean-Christophe Spinosi, George Petrou, Emmanuelle Haÿm, Fabio Biondi and Riccardo Muti.
With his singularly beautiful voice, innately musical approach and ability to truly capture audiences, the future is surely looking bright for Max Emanuel Cencic.

Where you located jdduffy?
I live in WA state it took my Alien to get to me about 3 weeks or 4. It seemed like it took forever but when I got the call from the pro shop I dropped everything and left to get it.
The problem for me was a lot of Pro shops in my area were not going to be Martin dealers anymore IDK why, they told me they wanted to sell the inventory they have then they will think about the 2013 line up. But I found a pro shop 40 some miles away and this guy is a loyal Martin fan. He hooked me up. The people that knew him knew he ordered one and when they seen it 2 more aliens were ordered and he told me he's getting a Nemesis 35.
Sorry I can't give you a time frame I'd call the pro shop or where ever you ordered it from and ask them, when will I get my Alien Please!
something isnt right, i live in mississippi and i got mine in 3 weeks. ten weeks thats insane . i sent mine back 3 weeks ago......
better make sure your dealer actually placed it on order and isnt waiting to order it.
dz is right thats to long.
I looked and calculated the days I placed my order, it took about twelve days total, I thought it was longer but I checked. Its because I'm in Washington State is why I got mine sooner.
Yep double check the shop....
My brother in law ordered a Nem 35 and it took about 5 weeks. Granted part of that was waiting for Martin to officially release them and start shipping (it was a couple weeks behind some of the other models)...

Bravo worried for just a moment that the chance might pass him by after he twisted his ankle in the second period of the 152-pound seventh-place match at the Sac-Joaquin Section Masters tournament, held Friday, Feb 22, and Saturday, Feb. 23, at Stockton Arena.
"I heard my ankle pop," Bravo said. "I had the same injury earlier in the season. It's finally healing up, so when this happened I was thinking the worst."
West coach Carlos Salazar quickly taped up the ankle, and Bravo was back on the mat.
He then went on to prove that Saturday's seventh-place matches, where the winners go to state and the losers are done for the season, can be the hardest-fought contests of them all.
His opponent, Adrian Maldonado from Wood High of Vacaville, had a 5-4 lead in the third period, but with 18 seconds left Bravo scored on a reversal to claim the 6-5 decision.
"I always had faith that God would always be there by my side," said Bravo, overcome by emotion after he was declared the winner. "I just pulled it out from my heart. I dug deep."
His win put him at 4-2 for the tournament and made him the sixth local wrestler to qualify for this year's CIF tournament Friday, March 1, and Saturday, March 2, at Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield.
Heading to the state tournament for the second year in a row is Kimball High junior Trent Nicholson. He went 4-1 in the 132-pound bracket, including a first-round pin in the semifinals, but had to settle for second place after losing on a 6-5 decision to Mark Taijeron of Merced.
Nicholson said he was recovering from being sick earlier in the week, so he tried to score pins or rack up big scores early in his matches. But by the third period against Taijeron, it was clear the Merced wrestler had more energy to finish.
"I just knew the kid was good at takedowns, so I just had to stay up and not get taken down," Nicholson said. "Right when I would take him down, I wasn't ready for how he scrambled."
Other wrestlers to qualify for state include West senior Amrit Singh (195 pounds), who finished in fourth place after he went 5-2.
Tracy High senior Albert Landeros (120) finished with a 7-1 decision over Brandon Vu of Rodriguez High in the fifth place match. Landeros went 4-2 for the tournament, but hoped to finish higher after he won three matches Friday to make the semifinals.
"Today I accepted the loss in the semis," he said, "but I should have beat the guy I wrestled right after him."
Kimball High senior Logan Finley (220 pounds) went 6-2 for the tournament, including four wins in a row in the consolation bracket after a 14-5 major decision loss to eventual champion Jordan Sepeda of Natomas.
Also going to state is Tracy resident and Central Catholic senior Joey Abbate (138 pounds). He went 5-1 for the tournament and finished in third place with a 4-3 decision over Branton Matu of Antelope High.
Kimball coach Pete Mullen that it's the best outcome yet for the Jaguars' 4-year-old team. Kimball placed 11th in overall scoring with 65.5 points. Vacaville was section champion with 244 points and qualified 10 wrestlers for state, including four gold medalists.

The Art of Making Mechanical Timepieces for Church Towers, Rooms, and Pockets
Manuel del Río was a Spanish Franciscan, said to have been a skilled watchmaker, who probably learned the trade in Oporto, Portugal, with Tomás Luis de Sáa. Del Río belonged to the Franciscan community in Santiago, where in 1759 he published Arte de los reloxes de ruedas (The art of making mechanical timepieces). The work was reissued in 1789 in Madrid by del Río's disciple Ramón Durán. That edition is presented here. The prologue states that one of the reasons for writing the book was the lack of manuals ...

Ahh, Paula Deen. Whether you're a fan of butter, good ol' southern cooking and the once-voluptuous Paula Deen, or not, I'm sure you're familiar with the public relations crisis that just keeps giving.
Last week, Ms. Deen faced major criticism for statements made in a deposition for a discrimination lawsuit by one of her former employees. The story originated with The Enquirer on the morning of June 19, and was later confirmed by the Huffington Post (which obtained copies of a deposition transcript), that afternoon.
In that document, Ms. Deen admitted that she had tolerated racist jokes and had made racist remarks. She mentioned that most of these jokes were about Jewish people, black people, gay people and "red necks." Some reports indicate that Ms. Deen also tolerated pornography in the workplace.
Ok, admittedly not great. But things went from bad to worse when the "Twitterverse" got hold of these juicy tidbits. The buzz was so ferocious that on June 19, the hash tag #PaulasBestDishes was trending on Twitter.
On the evening of June 20, Paula was skewered on numerous satirical shows, including The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. On the morning of June 21, Paula was scheduled to appear on The Today Show with Matt Lauer to field some (likely, soft-ball) questions. She bails, citing exhaustion.
Then came the apologies. THREE different apologies, to be exact. (Watch them here, here, and here).
That afternoon, Food Network issued a public statement indicating they would be dropping Ms. Deen – and all three of her shows – effective immediately. Well-known companies, from Smithfield (on June 24), Walmart and Caesar's (June 26), Novo Nordisk and Target (June 27), QVC, Kmart, Sears, Walgreens, JCPenny and her own publisher (June 28) dropped Paula's endorsement deals.
While several big-name celebrities have come to Paula's rescue (Jimmy Carter and Ann Rice, to name a few), the damage is done. Paula Deen will likely never again be the queen of butter.
The interesting thing, for me, is: How did everyone seem to think that Ms. Deen's reputation for Southern hospitality and honesty wasn't long-tarnished before these allegations surfaced? Doesn't anyone remember that "little" diabetes cover-up?
I hate to be the bad guy here, but daggonit, Paula has made it hard for me to say anything in her defense.
Where were those apologies three days earlier? For that matter, why were there three different apologies (none of which were particularly heart-felt or convincing)? Where was her crisis management team? Now, that's a group whose contract should definitely be terminated!

Horse Protection Society Tack & Treasure Fundraiser begins Saturday
The Horse Protection Society of North Carolina will have its third Tack & Treasure Fundraiser this weekend. The money raised from the yard sale helps buy feed, hay and supplements for the 45 horses on the China Grove property.
The sale is Saturday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at 2135 Miller Road. This is the third year for the sale, which will be held at the indoor riding arena.
"This will help us during the summer to buy feed and supplies," said Deborah Baker, riding program coordinator.
It costs $5,000 a month to provide hay, feed and supplements for the horses.
Many of the animals at the property have been mistreated and some were placed at the Horse Protection Society because owners were unable to properly care for them.
Baker said the economy has forced many horse owners to give up their beloved animals. They recently received one horse from a Rowan County owner who tried to restore the animal to proper health but wasn't successful.
Among the numerous donated items for the sale include 30 to 35 saddles, grooming equipment, art, cutlery, toys and riding clothes.
"We've been preparing since February," Baker said.
She said volunteers have been folding clothes, cleaning saddles and setting up the arena for the sale. Many of the items were donated from local stables and boarders in Rowan, Union, Davie, Mecklenburg and Cabarrus counties. Baker said many of the boots that are available for sale are new and came from Tack Exchange in Waxhaw.
Monetary donations for the sale can be accepted via Paypal through the Horse Protection Society's website at www.horseprotection.org.

Newsweek stopped its print edition at the end of 2012, but they still tried to scandalize the country by producing a fake cover honoring Obama's second inauguration as "The Second Coming." This absurd attempt at myth making is a natural progression. The "cover" story was written by Evan Thomas, who proclaimed on MSNBC a few years ago that Obama was "sort of like God" in being above the gritty political fray.
It was just as absurd when Newsweek writer David Frum, the formerly conservative Bush speechwriter, tweeted this piece of media-elite nonsense: "First term Obama: punchee, 2nd term Obama, puncher."
