Recently my wife Vicki & I went to see The Bourne Legacy. The movie is about the ongoing mission to create super soldiers capable of superhuman efforts (both physical and mental). In the movie, the program is compromised and the managers elect to shut it down by killing everyone involved (participants and researchers included). In the ensuing chaos, Aaron Cross (Treadstone operative) manages to elude death and through a series of events, Dr. Marta Shearing (Treadstone medical researcher) ends up with him in an effort to stay alive.
Early in their effort to escape, and before all of the action and superhuman feats and motorcycle chases, there was a memorable scene between Cross and Dr. Shearing. She is telling him about her work on a program of research in developing a virus strain that they have used to give the program participants their hyper mental and physical abilities and which comes with high risk and high reward. Cross asks her how she feels about creating something that is so potentially dangerous. She responds by saying it was about the science for her. Decisions about what to do with her creation were made by people above her pay grade. She was essentially saying, "I just create the weapon, I don't think about the ethics of how to use it. Those decisions are made by someone else. I just do the science."
This lack of thinking about the end results of our efforts and decisions is an unfortunately common problem in our society. As a friend of mine has written, many of us fail to think about the second and third order effects of our decisions. Put another way, we fail to think about how our actions will affect our lives in the future and the lives of those around us and how they affect us personally.
We realize that decisions made by large scale leaders (presidents, defense secretaries, generals) have large scale consequences with dramatic results for large numbers of people. Decisions made by individuals are most often more personal in nature. Decisions like how we spend our money, how we spend our time, how we speak to our spouse, our children, and our coworkers have profound implications for our lives.
I challenge you to consider today how your present decisions are going to affect your future. Take a moment before you buy that big ticket item to consider the long term impact on your finances. Perhaps you need to consider whether spending time partying is a better use of your time than working on a college class. Think about how you speak to those you love. What is the potential long term effect of your tone of voice and words on your children or on your spouse? Are your daily actions in your work setting you up for success or failure?
Thinking about the secondary and tertiary effects is called discernment. Taking a moment before speaking or before making a decision to consider the long term effect can save us much heart ache in the future. Taking responsibility for our decisions all the way to their final result is ethical decision making. We should expect nothing less from ourselves.

Solar System Log by Andrew Wilson, published 1987 by Jane's Publishing Co. Ltd.
Mars 5 was the sister orbiter to Mars 4. After two midcourse corrections on 3 August 1973 and 2 February 1974, Mars 5 successfully fired its main engine at 15:44:25 UT to enter orbit around the planet. Initial orbital parameters were 1,760 x 32,586 kilometers at 35°19'17'' inclination.
Soon after orbital insertion, ground controllers detected the slow depressurization of the main instrument compartment on the orbiter-probably as a result of an impact with a particle during or after orbital insertion. Calculations showed that at the current rate of loss of air, the spacecraft would be operational for approximately three weeks.
Scientists drew up a special accelerated science program that included imaging of the surface at 100 meters resolution. Five imaging sessions between 17 and 26 February 1974 produced a total of 180 frames of 43 usable photographs. Additionally, Mars 5 took five panoramas of the surface. The last communication with Mars 5, when the final panorama was transmitted back to
Earth, took place on 28 February 1974, after which pressure in the spacecraft decreased to below working levels.
Mars 5 photos, some of which were of comparable quality to those of Mariner 9, clearly showed surface features that indicated erosion caused by free- flowing water. Mars 5 was supposed to act as a data relay for the Mars 6 and Mars 7 landers but was obviously unable to do so.

Interpretive Handbook
8095 :
Bacterial Culture, Aerobic, Respiratory
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Common bacterial agents of acute pneumonia include: Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and members of the Enterobacteriaceae (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, and Enterobacter species) Clinical history, physical examination, and chest X-ray are usually adequate for the diagnosis of pneumonia, and antimicrobial treatment is typically based on these findings.
Culture of expectorated sputum is used by some for the evaluation of pneumonia, although controversy exists regarding this practice; both sensitivity and specificity of sputum cultures are generally regarded as poor (<50%). Specificity is improved by collecting expectorated purulent matter from the lower respiratory tract and avoiding mouth and oropharyngeal matter, thereby reducing contamination. Prior to culture, the specimen should be examined for the presence of WBCs (evidence of purulent matter) and a paucity of squamous cells (evidence of minimal contamination by oral matter).
Blood cultures should be performed to establish the definitive etiology of an associated pneumonia. However, only 20% to 30% of patients with bacterial pneumonia are bacteremic.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
An aid in the diagnosis of lower respiratory bacterial infections including pneumonia
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Organisms associated with lower respiratory tract infections are reported.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
When culture of sputum is delayed, successful isolation of bacterial pathogens is less likely, due to the overgrowth of usual oropharyngeal flora.
Interpretation of lower respiratory cultures is often complicated by the presence of usual flora and the possibility of colonization, rather than infection. Results should always be evaluated in light of clinical information.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

AT-AT Walker (All Terrain Armored Transport)
The All Terrain Armored Transport, or AT-AT walker, is a four-legged transport and combat vehicle used by the Imperial ground forces. Standing over 20 meters tall with blast-impervious armor plating, these massive constructs are used as much for psychological effect as they are for tactical effect.
- Height: 22.5m ,
Soundboard //
AT-ATs drove the Empire's assault on the Rebel base during the Battle of Hoth. The gigantic combat vehicles were air-dropped onto the snowy world, where they marched toward the command center and were met by Rebel defenses. Snowspeeders first attempted to blast the AT-ATs, but the walkers' armor proved too strong. Commander Luke Skywalker ordered his squadron to use harpoons and tow cables, tying the legs of the hulking transports. Though this tactic proved effective at toppling a walker, the Rebels were ultimately unable to stop the Empire's advance. General Veers, leading the surface attack, targeted and destroyed the Rebel base's main power generator. Imperial forces, along with Darth Vader, entered the base -- though most Rebels had been able to escape.
AT-ATs were used by the Empire as transports on Endor, the forest world that was home to the Death Star II's shield generator. Due to the dense forests and brush, the smaller, more agile AT-STs were primarily used during the Battle of Endor.
Related //
General Veers
A cool and efficient officer, General Veers led the Imperial assault on Hoth, marching his AT-AT walkers across the planet's frozen plains and destroying the massive generators powering the Rebel base's protective energy shield.
Galactic Empire
The Galactic Empire ruled for years through fear, intimidation, and tyranny. With a mighty military force including stormtroopers, spy technology like probe droids, and the planet-destroying Death Star, Emperor Palpatine's regime seemed unstoppable and permanent. But some dared to strike back…
Hoth is the sixth planet in the remote system of the same name, and was the site of the Rebel Alliance's Echo Base. It is a world of snow and ice, surrounded by numerous moons, and home to deadly creatures like the wampa.
Luke Skywalker
Luke Skywalker was a Tatooine farmboy who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the greatest Jedi the galaxy has ever known. Along with his friends Princess Leia and Han Solo, Luke battled the evil Empire, discovered the truth of his parentage, and ended the tyranny of the Sith.
Stormtroopers are elite shock troops fanatically loyal to the Empire and impossible to sway from the Imperial cause. They wear imposing white armor, which offers a wide range of survival equipment and temperature controls to allow the soldiers to survive in almost any environment. Stormtroopers wield blaster rifles and pistols with great skill, and attack in hordes to overwhelm their enemies. Along with standard Stormtroopers, the Empire has organized several specialized units, including snowtroopers and scout troopers.
Secluded in a remote corner of the galaxy, the forest moon of Endor would easily have been overlooked by history were it not for the decisive battle that occurred there. The lush, forest home of the Ewok species is the gravesite of Darth Vader and the Empire itself. It was here that the Rebel Alliance won its most crucial victory over the Galactic Empire.

Charges against a Washington, D.C., police officer who allegedly resisted arrest and had an open container of alcohol in public were dropped Wednesday after prosecutors deemed he was not at fault, according to the Prince George's County state's attorney's office.
Richard Anthony Merritt, 47, of Silver Spring is a 23-year veteran with the Metropolitan Police Department who was arrested by two county officers outside a restaurant in Fairmount Heights in September.
His attorney, Jimmy Bell, said Merritt was leaving the restaurant and was speaking with his son on the phone when officers approached Merritt and a group of other men he was standing near and told them to face the wall.
Merritt was charged with having an open alcoholic beverage in public and resisting arrest, according to online court records and charging documents obtained from police.
"This was a District Court case where the Prince George's County police made an arrest after they determined the defendant was acting in a disorderly fashion and consuming alcohol in public. Further, it appeared to the arresting officer that the defendant had a firearm on him. In fact, the defendant did have a firearm, but it turned out to be his police-issued service weapon," said Nancy Lineman, a spokeswoman for the state's attorney's office. "Based on the totality of the circumstances, our office exercised our discretion and dismissed the charges in this case."
Charging documents state county officers did not learn of Merritt's employment with MPD until they discovered his identification card and department-issued handgun. However, Merritt said in October that he immediately identified himself as a police officer and said he was armed when the county officers arrived.
In a $3 million civil suit Merritt filed against the county alleging excessive force and Civil Rights Act violations, he claims he was struck several times with a baton by the arresting officers, even after he identified himself as an officer.
Merritt previously stated he had to seek medical attention after the alleged beating, and X-rays determined he had a broken bone in his leg and was put in a soft walking cast to heal.
Lineman declined to comment on the allegations of excessive force.
"All I can tell you is that the criminal charges were dropped. We do not comment on civil cases," Lineman said.
Bell said the criminal charges being dropped further validates the civil suit. He said Merritt did not have an open alcoholic container with him and did not resist arrest, and claims that officers falsified the police report.
"This shows that even the prosecutors have seen that the charges were bogus," he said. "The officers' actions to my client were illegal and unconstitutional. The hardest thing to fight is a lie, especially one that's written down by police in a charging document."
Merritt could not be reached by phone Thursday.
Bell said he expects the civil suit to be tried by a jury in the fall.

Should I change my food habits for my winter activities?

One other difference - in the winter, your food and water can freeze during the day.

onion, sliced

very simple meal, but it's so easy that it's worth it. next time i will take the casings off the sausage - i thought after simmering 6 hours they would get soft, but they were still chewy and i peeled them all off anyway. the sauce gets a very strong pepper taste also, so i might cut back on the chopped peppers if i make this again. overall, for the simplicity it tastes great!
Really nothing more than adding peppers, onions, and sauce to some sausages, but after a long soccer practice it sure tasted good!

Found another favorite recipe here! I tweaked this just a tad. While browning the sausage I added the onions & peppers. Then deglazed the pan with a half cup beef broth. Then put it all in the slow cooker with the pasta sauce. The sauce was so good we had to keep dipping our sandwich and fries in it!
I have made similar versions of this recipe before. I use 1.5lbs of spicy italian sausage....bought locally in denver. 3 bell peppers (red,orange,yellow)
2 medium yellow onions. I add lots of fresh garlic. crushed red pepper, italian herbs, salt and pepper. Broil hoagie rolls with cheese and seasoned salt. serve with a slotted spoon. I also carmalized onions to go on the side. pepperocinis too. high on the cockpot 3hrs low 6-8. You cannot go wrong with this wonderful dish. Use over spaghetti/rice the day after.
I will give this five stars, since it is so easy, and tastes good, too. I used a spicier pizza sauce instead of spaghetti sauce, that probably gave it some added flavor. This took much less time in my crockpot, done in about 2 hours on low, then I just kept it on warm until dinner time. I will make these again soon!
I made these for our Super Bowl Party and they were delicious. I used Johnsonville Italian mild and hot sausages (we liked the hot best). I did add a little beef broth and let them cook all day. They were so flavorful and tender.My husband really liked them. Easy and delicious, it doesn't get much better than that! Thanks.
Yum!!! Super simple and super delicious. I think browning the sausage first makes all the difference. I used both Hot & Sweet Italian sausage and let me just say, it's all good! Use whatever type you like. For the best sandwich, toast the buns and melt the cheese a little under the broiler. Add your meat and sauce and get ready to be happy!
This was DELICIOUS and very tasty. My family loved this recipe. It is similar to the Sausage Pepper Sandwich recipe found on this site. The slow cooker really allowed the flavors to blend well. I did make some minor modifications: I added diced garlic, cayenne pepper, and season salt. I used 2tbsp of flour to thicken up the sauce and besided the italian sausage I also added some hot/spicy beef sausages. We will definitely be making this again.

A Charles County jury convicted a Fort Washington man on Tuesday of two counts of vehicular manslaughter for causing the death of two Maryland State Highway Administration contractors in 2010, the Charles County State's Attorney's Office reported.
On Oct. 21, 2010, Marlon Lorenzo and Erick Alvarado were working for an SHA contractor cutting grass and collecting trash in the median of Berry Road just east of the intersection with Bensville Road in Waldorf. The two men along with one of their co-workers were walking in the median when a 2004 Volkswagen SUV operated by Yuri Marie-Francois Vielot Jr., who was 24 at the time of the crash, veered from the westbound lanes of Berry Road onto the median, collided with a sign and then ran into the victims, throwing them toward the opposing lanes of travel.
Witnesses to the collision reported seeing an explosion, flying debris and two bodies landing in the roadway. Both men were pronounced dead on the scene. Their co-worker, Leonel Berganza, was knocked to the ground, but survived the crash.
Berganza testified during the trial, giving his account of the crash, describing it as a day he will never forget, the day he lost his best friends, the state's attorney's office reported. One witness reported seeing the defendant's vehicle swerving back and forth into her lane for approximately half a mile to a mile prior to the SUV leaving the road and striking Lorenzo and Alvarado.
After the crash, Vielot was interviewed by members of the Maryland State Police. He stated that he had worked all night, had only gotten two hours of sleep, and was returning from Waldorf to Fort Washington to bring his fiancée lunch when he fell asleep behind the wheel.
Charles County Assistant State's Attorney Francis Granados pointed out that Vielot was driving after only getting two hours of sleep in the 18½ hours prior to the crash.
"These two men would still be here if this defendant had remembered how dangerous of an activity that driving a car is," State's Attorney Anthony B. Covington (D) said in a news release announcing the verdict. "I hope everyone understands that as a driver you must take responsibility for being in the right condition to drive. If you aren't and you hurt somebody you will be held accountable. Though we all too often take it for granted because we do it so often, driving a 2,000 pound machine is a very dangerous and risky activity. If you are driving, don't drink, don't drug, don't text, don't race and don't speed. And, for goodness sake, make sure you've had enough rest before you get behind the wheel. All of these things are very simple. If the defendant had properly rested, he wouldn't be facing jail time and the two families of these dead men wouldn't be heart broken. At sentencing we certainly will be asking the court to give the defendant plenty of time in jail so he can reflect on that."
The jury deliberated for just over an hour before returning guilty verdicts on both counts.
Sentencing has been scheduled for Nov. 7 before Circuit Court Judge Amy J. Bragunier.
Vielot faces up to 20 years in jail.

quote: Joe Ranft, Pixar Animation's head of story, 45By Sheigh Crabtree and Cynthia LittletonJoe Ranft, Pixar Animation Studios' head of story and a founding member of the animation company's creative team, died Tuesday afternoon in a car accident in Mendocino County, Calif. He was 45."Joe was an important and beloved member of the Pixar family, and his loss is of great sorrow to all of us and to the animation industry as a whole," Pixar said in a statement Wednesday.A spokeswoman for the Mendocino County Sheriff-Coroner's Office confirmed Ranft was one of two people who died when their car veered off the road while traveling northbound on Highway 1.According to the California Highway Patrol, the accident occurred at about 3 p.m. Tuesday as the driver of the 2004 Honda Element tried to regain control of the car after swerving when he headed into a tight left curve. The car plunged 130 feet over the side into the ocean, the CHP said.The driver, identified by the coroner's office as Elegba Earl, 32, of Los Angeles, was also killed in the crash. The third person in the car, identified by the CHP as Eric Frierson, 39, of Los Angeles, survived by climbing through the car's sun roof. He was hospitalized with moderate injuries at Mendocino Coast Hospital, according to Officer Robert Simas of the CHP office in Ukiah, Calif.Ranft worked in both story development and as a storyboard artist at Pixar for the past decade. He was a co-writer on 1995's "Toy Story," for which he earned an Oscar nomination, and 1998's "A Bug's Life." Before Pixar, Ranft was a leading member of the story department at Walt Disney Feature Animation, where he was a writer on 1991's "Beauty and the Beast" and 1994's "The Lion King."Ranft also voiced key Pixar characters such as Heimlich in "Bug's" and Wheezy the Penguin in "Toy Story 2."Born in Southern California in 1960, Ranft was a classmate of director John Lasseter's at the California Institute of the Arts in the 1970s. After two years at CalArts, he joined Disney in 1980. He joined Pixar in 1992."Joe was a big part of Pixar's soul," a Pixar spokesperson said.
quote:I'm sure there's a lot of people wondering what causes they can donate to in honor of Ranft's passing. Now there's an answer. Allison Bell at Wild Brain writes, "We have heard that in lieu of flowers and fruit baskets, etc. the Ranft family is asking that donations be sent to the Mosaic organization, which is the men's group Joe was with when they had the accident."Here is the website for Mosaic Voices. They have an on-line donation form, which can be found by clicking on the "Contact" section.

Youris still in the wrong thread.So does leaving 4 Americans to die in a foreign country only to cover it up to not ruin your election chances, speak to Obama's character?
a) Obama did not leave anybody to day anywhere. That accusation is almost ridiculous as it implies intend by the President.
b) This thread is about the US not a foreign country. I assume with your above suggestion which shows your hatred for a black President you are referring to Benghazi. Also this thread is not about Benghazi.
c) this thread is about post election not pre election
d) THis thread is about Romney's lack of good character not about Obama's character
Why don't you defend Romney rather than pulling out a ridiculous accusation against his opponent which has nothing to do with the subject on hand?
because the administration said the reason for the attack was because of an anti-muslim film and that it was spontanious. when in fact, it was a coordinated attack in that had to do with a muslim propoganda film. the administration tried to pass the buck thinking that we were too stupid to see that it was terrorism. read a newspaper.

Northbound US 31 Restriction,
Lane Shift, 151st to 169th Streets
WESTFIELD, Ind. – Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) contractors plan to temporarily restrict traffic on northbound US 31 between 151st Street and 169th Street on Friday and Saturday to modify pavement markings and shift northbound lanes.
Rieth-Riley Construction, the state's contractor for the $58 million project, has been restricting the right lane of U.S. 31 during overnight hours, making preparations to shift two lanes of northbound traffic to the right. Rieth-Riley plans to make this shift beginning Friday, March 22 at 10 a.m.
Northbound traffic will be restricted to a single lane for short periods of time as northbound lane markings are removed and replaced between 151st Street and 169th Street. Contractors will begin in the right lane and replace northbound lane markings, working from the right to the left, until two lanes of traffic are shifted to the right. Left turn lanes in-between 151st Street and 169th Street will be removed as part of this traffic phase, but left turn lanes at these intersections will remain in place. All lane restrictions are expected to end by 3 p.m. Friday, but the operation will repeat Saturday, March 23 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. if needed.
Rieth-Riley plans to continue placing temporary pavement for widening along the northbound median beginning Monday, March 25 during daytime hours. Because northbound traffic is expected to be shifted to the right at that time, allowing contractors more room to safely complete the work, lane restrictions will not be necessary for the median widening.
Southbound traffic will not be affected, but will be shifted in the near future once median pavement is in place. An exact date will be announced before southbound traffic is shifted to share the existing northbound side of the highway. Contractors will then begin upgrading southbound U.S. 31 to freeway standards.
The New U.S. 31 Hamilton County between 146th Street and 169th Street will include a new freeway exits at 146th Street, 151st Street and 161st Street. 161st Street is expected to close on or after April 15 to begin construction of the new roundabout interchange. The official detour for the 161st Street closure will be signed and motorists will be directed north to 169th Street.
More information about The New U.S. 31 Hamilton County and details about how to receive project updates can be found online at www.us31hamiltoncounty.IN.gov.

Midwest Living Review
Perched above the island's Main Street, Fort Mackinac is within Mackinac Island State Park. Both attractions belong to Mackinac State Historic Parks, a group of museums, buildings and parks on the island and across the water in Mackinaw City. Eighty percent of the island is state park, with dense forests, geological formations like Arch Rock and Sugar Loaf, and historic monuments and cemeteries. The governor's summer residence, a white Victorian, is also situated on park grounds. While Fort Mackinac saw light military duty in the early 1800s, today it's a vibrant living museum. Employees dress in 19th-century clothing, engaging every visitor. Cannons are shot off hourly, and several other vivid reenactments provide an animated depiction of Fort Mackinac life. Smaller visitors will enjoy the Children's Museum where they can try on solder's clothing, play a giant fife, or identify a beaver pelt. Carefully restored officer quarters offer a candid and sometimes painful view of life as a 19th-century soldier. There is a mildly strenuous uphill walk involved in the tour, but there is handicapped access to the fort. The scenic vista and lively historical re-creations are surprisingly engaging.

Credit Card Wars II: The Bankers Strike Back
Score +7
Thread Details
February 17, 2010
Any credit card user can tell you -- there's a lot that's wrong with this industry. The credit card game often seems to be rigged in the issuers' interests, and designed to suck consumers' wallets dry.
Here at Slickdeals, we've done our best to re-rig the game in consumers' favor. We work together to find the best deal on airline miles, grab extra cash when Chase is feeling generous -- even rob the U.S. Treasury -- legally! But at best, these are half-measures. What we really need, say consumers, is a comprehensive effort to rein in industry worst-practices.
To the hill! Charge!
Fortunately, up on Capitol Hill, your elected representatives have been busy trying to do just this. Upset over industry practices -- late payment fees and over-the-limit charges that dwarf the size of a customer's actual bills, balance transfer rules designed to trick gullible consumers into paying more than they expect, rate hikes on one card triggered by late payment on another (the so-called "universal default"), and a host of other sins -- Congress passed the Credit Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act (or "CARD" Act for short) last year. And give 'em some credit for good intentions, at least.
The CARD Act will go a long way towards eliminating some of the industry's least-loved practices. For example:
• "Universal default?" It's history.
• Likewise the imposition of over-the-limit and overdraft "protection" fees without your consent to the "service."
• Also off limits is the trick of offering a low rate for balance transfers, a higher rate for new charges -- then applying all your payments to the low rate debt first (so that the bank can ding you for higher rate debt as long as possible.)
• Fixed-rate cards must now maintain that fixed rate for at least one year after issuance.
• And while after that, a bank is free to raise rates on new debt, it must give you 45 days' prior notice, and the right to opt-out of the new rate (by closing your account.)
• Even then, debt incurred under the old rate can be paid off at the old rate -- no more retroactive rate hikes.
The CARD Act will also curtail credit card predation upon the young -- for better or for worse. From now on, if you're under 21, and not self-supporting, you'll need to have a parent or guardian co-sign when you apply for a card. Gone, too, are the days of companies handing out free gifts on college campuses when the kids apply for credit.
And yet…
Love 'em or hate 'em (okay, just hate 'em), banks are businesses. They don't extend credit out of the goodness of their hearts, folks. They're in this business for profit -- and in fact, they're duty-bound to their shareholders to maximize that profit any way they can. Overdraft and over-the-limit fees, and similar charges amounted to $60 billion in revenue for the banking and credit card industries last year, and you can bet your bottom dollar that they won't give up this money without a fight.
Oh, the banks will abide by the new rules of course. It's just … to every rule there is an exception, and every law -- a loophole. If Congress is going to starve the bankers of their over-the-limit fees and late payment charges, then the bankers will just have to find new ways to make a buck. Ways like:
• Annual fees. Remember those? When I was growing up, just about any credit card on offer carried an annual fee for its use. $25 for a MasterCard. $50 for an AmEx. These fees are coming back in a big way.
• Inactivity fees. Don't use each of your cards every month? Well, you'd better get to slickdealing, because this is an easy way for the banks to punish you for carrying too many cards.
• Also, wave bye-bye to "free checking." If banks can't make money in sneakier ways, they're going to have to make it the old fashioned way -- by charging for the actual services they provide. Like allowing you to write checks.
• And speaking of checks, does your bank send you an itemized statement every month, describing what you wrote, to whom, and for how much? Well, get ready to take all that activity online. In fact, a switch to online banking statements is probably the easiest sell of all for the banking industry, because they'll be able to paint it as a "let's all go green together, and save the planet" move. (Of course, if you prefer to receive physical proof of payments, they'll be happy to abandon those principles and charge you a couple extra bucks a month.)
The rules, they are a-changin'
Already, slickdealers are feeling the brunt of the changes as the nation's big credit card banks raise rates ahead of the legislation's entry into force (on February 22).
As time goes on, it's only going to get worse. Some banks will switch from fixed-rate credit cards to variable rates (because in a startling omission, the CARD Act) only restricts an issuer's ability to raise rates on fixed-rate cards. Others will attempt to limit their risk of loss by lowering credit limits, which may (as a totally unintentional side-effect, I am sure) make it more likely you go over your limit, and get hit with a fee.
In short, the rules are changing -- not just for our bankers, but for Slickdealers ourselves.
International lawyer by day and Slickdealer by night, Rich Smith is always on the lookout for a good bargain. Helping corporations pillage Third World economies is great for paying the mortgage, but Rich's real loves are writing about stock investing for The Motley Fool, buying cheap stocks for his own portfolio, and strolling the aisles at Slickdeals in search of the ultimate blue-light special. A veteran of Moscow, Kiev, and Washington, D.C., Rich has traded-in city life, and now takes his ease in the fields of rural Indiana.

I'm sorry, the bank gets to hold my money interest free in my checking account. They aren't taking more money away from me as well.
--Payments received by the due date -- or the next business day, if the bank doesn't accept mailed payments on the due date -- won't trigger a late fee. If the cardholder pays at a local branch, the payment must be credited the same day.
--Card companies must send statements 21 days before a payment is due. Current law requires a mere 14 days' notice. This provision goes into effect Aug. 20, 2009.
I think we need to round up the bankers and shoot them... right after all the lawyers! (sorry Rich)
There is a note that MANY of the Local Credit Unions are not on the list b/c they use a different rating system (something to that effect - been a few weeks since I read it).
Move your money to the local banks that didn't buy into ultra risky predatory loans or ( the bundles they were lumped into) and sold with AAA ratings.
If you're not familiar with it yet, this one's worth getting to know.

That said, without the bankers, who would finance our purchase of that slick new Toyota Prius? And without the lawyers, who would make sure the gas pedal didn't come pre-super glued? Bankers and lawyers both have their uses. We just need to keep 'em both honest.
Speaking of which, in future columns we'll be discussing more ways to make better use of banks and credit cards, how to find a good lawyer, and a whole host of other helpful hints. Stay tuned!

our CC thread, too. A lot of our favorite cards (AMEX Plum, Penfed Visa, Schwab 2%) don't show up on lists like that.
Just another reason that this site is awesome.
Remember those old posters in convenience stores with the pictures of all the people that wrote bad checks?
I've actually with the bank that is merging with another bank....they bought out my smaller community bank years ago.....
First Market is big on free counter services and quarterly perks - coupons for free baked goods, deli items, etc., goodies worth $10-15 a pop. I expect all those freebies to go away when they merge with Union.

I had seen this idea somewhere else but wanted to make some changes that would work better for my situation. I hope it helps someone else also.
This is installed in my Square Foot Garden bed but would work in other gardens also. For more information about Square Foot Gardening contact me.
Composting is a way to reduce what is thrown away while adding to the health of your garden soil. Although I compost otherwise I was excited about the idea of composting right in the garden. Compost should be ready much sooner this way with less work: no turning compost, and no moving compost to the garden.
If you are not able to have a traditional compost bin this may be a way you could still make compost.
Step 1: Gather materials
I found four, 1"x5" pieces of 2' long lumber around my house - three cedar, and one Douglas Fir. Any kind of wood should be fine, but I advise against using pressure treated, painted, or stained lumber. You could use 2 1/2' or 3' long lumber instead of 2'.
You will also need a drill, bits and screws, about 2 cups of peat moss, kitchen scraps, a board or post cap for a cover, and a few earthworms.
All you are likely to get is a bigger and bigger pile of garbage.
Nope! Night crawlers will compost too.
We throw garbage in. And then we throw garbage in. And then we throw more garbage in ... and that little pail never gets much over half full. I don't think it would get even half full if the earthworms didn't have to wait until the bacteria had a chance to get things broken down somewhat.
This guy posted an instructable of a working system. Ergo: no basic flaw.
This a great idea!!! I saw a solar light post cap at HD that would be great abound the garden. Definitely going to try this!
I never added any more coir, peat moss, or newspaper. I only added vegetable and fruit scraps from then on.
Everyday that i have looked at the compost it goes down a lot! Way more than i would expect from it just condensing due to gravity. When i threw it in, it was pretty wet and well pulvarized. the first pic is the night i built it, and then i took one every morning since
It should be going down since the worms are consuming it and then spreading their castings through out your garden and there are microbes breaking it down also. I have never put that much in at once so it is interesting to see how it is working for you.
And to Kelser (and anyone else with an ant problem) try cinnamon. Sprinkle it around and that should repel your ants.
Has anyone found size ratios that work particularly well? I assume if it's too large, the worms will never leave the cafe, but I'd like to make mine big enough to put the occasional watermelon that my family just didn't like and refused to finish.
We tend to only have fruits and peelings in our kitchen scraps. Did you find you had to watch your ratio of kitchen scraps to dry stuff (paper/yard waste)?
What kind of wood did you use? Cedar and redwood are naturally rot resistant. I used cedar fencing for some of the sides. It was leftover from another project.
I would like to hear how it went!
Has anyone else had a similar ant problem? If so, is there a trick to keeping ants away? (I grow everything organically, so I don't want to use any chemical insecticides.)
I know diatomaceous earth will help control ants... but is it truly safe for the worms, even in large quantities? If so, how much DE is necessary, and where do I put it... in with the compost scraps? Thanks!
Tangle Trap is a product used to prevent insects from climbing trees so if they are climbing the sides you could put a line of it around the base. You can usually find it at garden centers.


text: Student Profiles Jaimie Zamniak (Auburn, NY) Accounting Major What really attracted me to Le Moyne was the atmosphere and the strong reputation of the accounting program. I come from a small town, and being at a school where everyone is familiar and classes are small was absolutely ideal for me. I took an accounting course in high school and found that it was interesting and came naturally to me, so I stuck with it in college and I really love it. It's not just crunching numbers like everyone thinks. There is a lot of problem solving and logic involved as well. At Le Moyne, students get to pursue their chosen major as well as benefit from philosophy, religion and other core classes. Being an accounting major and learning about philosophy and religion really rounds out my experience, and you'd be surprised how things in the classes tend to overlap or interlock with your major classes. It is challenging, but to be honest I have made some of my best friends in my accounting and major classes, and I would probably be lost without them. It is definitely a rewarding experience and offers a huge support system of classmates and professors. Ally Gurley (Syracuse, NY) Business Analytics Major One of the most marketable majors at Le Moyne, business analytics taught me how to create solutions to common problems found in every type of business. The analytical strategies that I have learned always take into account the bigger picture: the contexts and situations in which problems occur. Although I hold minors in three other disciplines, only business analytics taught me this type of precise and holistic reasoning. Every day I use the advanced analytical methods that I have learned in my job at St. Joseph's Hospital, where I work in the Supply Chain division. Sometimes that means creating spreadsheets to simulate potential cost savings, while other times it means interpreting the ripple effect of those savings. Although business analytics helps me immensely in my current job, the skills I learned are applicable in a wide range of fields and career pursuits. I will use the knowledge that I have gained wherever my future takes me. Richelle Lockett (Endicott, NY) Information Systems and Marketing Major As a senior at Union Endicott High School, I made Le Moyne my first choice college, applying early decision. I was drawn to the sense of community I found on the campus, and to the opportunity to learn in small classes. Being small doesn't mean there are limited opportunities. I was accepted to the 4-plus-one program, an innovative offering that Le Moyne has established with Syracuse University, which allows students to earn a bachelor's degree in information systems and computer science and a master's degree in information systems with two to three additional semesters of course work. Information systems is such a rapidly evolving field and is such a critical part of almost any career path. It's imperative to have an understanding of I.S. when you go out into the workforce, so it's a degree that can really set you apart. Bryce Cosgrove (Malone, NY) Finance and Management Information Systems Major I've always been drawn to business in general. As a kid I would play the game Roller Coaster Tycoon endlessly, and now I am constantly keeping an eye on the market and investing with fake paper money online. Le Moyne seemed like a great place to explore these interests. I've been able to learn and network with all of my professors very well, and become a leader outside of the classroom by becoming involved in the Student Senate, the Le Moyne Student Programming Board and the Investment Club. Carl Smith (Syracuse NY) Information Systems Major One of the benefits of studying information systems at a liberal arts college is not only gaining expertise in a particular field, but also having the opportunity to fully develop as a person. Although I enjoy technology, it is important to be able to expand your knowledge. For example, philosophy classes have taught me how look at problems from a different perspective. This skill can be used in information systems to confront a problem and determine multiple solutions. I plans to continue my education and to earn a master's degree in information management. I was drawn to the campus because it was small and easy to navigate. Once here, I have enjoyed having the opportunity to form close friendships with his classmates and to complete projects that truly give me an understanding of what the real-world work is like, such as constructing a database for one of my classes. Joseph Drum (Syracuse, NY) Management and Leadership and Information Systems Major I've always had a knack for business, and wanted to pursue it professionally. The Jesuit atmosphere helped to draw me to Le Moyne and, once I was here, I really liked having the opportunity to take a wide variety of courses outside of my major. In fact, that's what led me to double major in management and leadership and management information systems. After I graduate, I plan to either enter the work force or pursue a master's degree through the 4-plus-1 program that Le Moyne established with Syracuse University. I've found that networking is one of the most important skills to develop during college. Be it figuring out what your going to do on the weekend, or deciding which courses to take and with which teachers, the more people you know, the easier it becomes. Over the summer I had the opportunity to work as an intern at Bank of New York Mellon, and it was a great preview of life after college. Zachary Heisert (Syracuse, NY) Marketing Major A degree in marketing from Le Moyne College has meant several things to me since I graduated. Foundation: to pursue my Le Moyne education further and complete the MBA Program; confidence: to pursue every endeavor I can imagine; knowledge: to perform and excel in the business world; and strength: to uphold the Jesuit tradition of scholarship, loyalty, and service while maintaining the values and integrity instilled by a Le Moyne education. It has allowed me to achieve a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in all areas of life.
