About the G.20
Annual Growth Rates, Levels, and Flows of Outstanding Receivables at Finance Companies.
The first table of the G.20 shows seasonally adjusted data for the flows and levels of finance company receivables outstanding. These data include simple annual percent changes of total, consumer, real estate, and business receivables. The percent change in a given period is calculated as the flow of receivables in the current period divided by the level in the previous period. Percent changes and levels are calculated from unrounded data. The second and third pages of the G.20 show data that are not seasonally adjusted. The second page contains levels of outstanding receivables by receivable type, while the third page contains flow of receivables by type.
Benchmark Data
Every five years since 1955, the Federal Reserve has conducted the Finance Company Survey (FR 3033s), which is sent to a stratified random sample of finance and mortgage companies. In the most recent survey, the Board surveyed roughly 2,400 finance companies to collect balance sheet data as of December 2010. Approximately 1,000 companies responded. The survey comprises detailed information from both sides of the respondents' balance sheets. See table 1 for the specific items used in our calculations.
Indicator Data
Indicator data for finance companies are collected from the Domestic Finance Company Report of Consolidated Assets and Liabilities (FR 2248). This report collects balance sheet and, where appropriate, off-balance-sheet data on major categories of receivables and on major short-term liabilities held or securitized by finance companies. For quarter-end months (March, June, September, and December), additional asset and liability items are collected to provide a full balance sheet. The Board is currently authorized to survey 70 companies each month; because of consolidation and attrition, the current reporting panel as of November 2011 consists of a random sample of about 50 companies. See table 1 for the specific items used in our calculations.Detailed source

"WHAT IS IT THAT CONFERS THE NOBLEST DELIGHT? What is that which swells a man's breast with great pride above which any other experience can bring him? Discovery! To know that you are walking where none others have walked; that you are beholding in the human eye has not been seen before; that you are breathing a virgin atmosphere. To give birth to an idea, to a discovery of great thought-an intellectual nugget, right under the dust of a field that many a brain-plough had gone over before. To find a new planet, to invent a new hinge, to find a way to make the lightnings carry your messages. To be the first-that is the idea...." There are books so alive that you're always afraid that while you weren't reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?

Spanish Court Dismisses Complaint From Nintendo Against Counterfiet DS Cartridges, Since They Add Functionality
from the getting-it-right dept
As you probably know, one of the key things that the entertainment industry has pushed for throughout the world is "anti-circumvention" clauses in copyright law. In the US we have this in the DMCA and it's a total mess. The law basically says that any attempt to circumvent (or to make or sell a tool to circumvent) DRM on a digital work is a violation of the copyright law -- even if making a copy of the content in question wouldn't violate copyright law.
Spanish copyright law includes an anti-circumvention clause, but as Leo Martins alerts us, a judge in Salamanca, Spain has taken a much more nuanced view of it in a case pitting Nintendo against Grupo Movilquick, who produced alternative cartridges for Nintendo DS devices. The judge's ruling (translated from the original) appears to find that the alternative cartridges do, in fact, circumvent Nintendo's DRM and can be used for "pirating" games, but also extend the utility of the devices for perfectly legal purposes. For that reason, the judge dismissed the lawsuit (translation from the original) noting that it doesn't make sense that the law would be intended to say that only Nintendo can expand the functionality of its devices, and the fact that Nintendo doesn't offer similar functionality shouldn't preclude others from doing so. There are areas where Nintendo can still bring a lawsuit, such as for patent and trademark issues, but the judge notes those should be dealt with in a civil court.

Pierce Brosnan's Daughter Charlotte Passes Away Due to Ovarian Cancer
Pierce Brosnan's daughter Charlotte passed away at the age of 41 after a strenuous battle with ovarian cancer. After fighting ovarian cancer for three years, Charlotte died on June 28th, Brosnan confirmed to People. Charlotte's mother also suffered from ovarian cancer and died in 1991.
In a statement to People, Brosnan shared, "On June 28 at 2 p.m. my darling daughter Charlotte Emily passed on to eternal life having succumbed to ovarian cancer."
Brosnan then goes on to disclose that she was surrounded by her loved ones such as her husband Alex Smith, her children Isabella and Lucas, and her brothers Christopher and Sean during her final days.
"Charlotte fought cancer with grace and humanity, courage and dignity. Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our beautiful girl. We pray for her and that the cure for this wretched disease will be at hand soon," Brosnan said. The former James Bond then went on to give thanks for everyone's "heartfelt gratitude."
Our hearts go out to Brosnan and the rest of Charlotte's family as they mourn her passing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bebefan101 from love this top. I bought both colors and i love it as much as i love a white dress with the same stud placements. Bebe does well with placing studs on dresses or tops. Whoever is having second thoughts about buying this top.. dont. Its made with good material.. its also really beautiful.
Date published: 2013-07-29
Rated 4 out of 5 by Darkhairedbeauty28 from Very figure flattering I bought this top in the turquoise and it's beautiful but I exchanged it for the black because I thought the studs on the black stood out more and made more sense. The top is very figure flattering and has an interesting material; it looks and feels like a swimsuit! The only thing to be aware of is the studs are very delicate and look like they could easily fall off. Other than that very cute! I think the sizing is correct, I am 5'11 and 165lbs the M fit perfectly

Rated 4 out of 5 by Lmarty18 from Cool looking top This top is really cool looking. The low back is sexy, the studs on the front are edgy, and the fit is glam. Love the top in turquoise. I wish it came in XXS!

Vandal and tampering protection
In some surveillance applications, cameras are at risk of hostile and violent attacks. While a camera or housing can never guarantee 100% protection from destructive behavior in every situation, vandalism can be mitigated by considering various aspects: camera/housing design, mounting, placement and use of intelligent video alarms.
Camera/housing design
Casings and related components that are made of metal provide better vandal protection than ones made of plastic. The shape of the housing or camera is another factor. A housing or a traditional fixed camera that protrudes from a wall or ceiling is more vulnerable to attacks (e.g., kicking or hitting) than more discreetly designed housings or casings for a fixed dome or PTZ dome camera.
The smooth, rounded covering of a fixed dome or PTZ dome makes it more difficult, for example, to block the camera's view by trying to hang a piece of clothing over the camera. The more a housing or camera blends into an environment or is disguised as something other than a camera — for example, an outdoor light — the better the protection against vandalism.
The way cameras and housings are mounted is also important. A traditional fixed network camera and a PTZ dome camera that is mounted on the surface of a ceiling are more vulnerable to attacks than a fixed dome or PTZ dome camera that is mounted flush to a ceiling or wall, where only the transparent part of the camera or housing is visible.
Another important consideration is how the cabling to a camera is mounted. Maximum protection is provided when the cable is pulled directly through the wall or ceiling behind the camera. In this way, there are no visible cables to tamper with. If this is not possible, a metal conduit tube should be used to protect cables from attacks.
Camera placement
Camera placement is also an important factor in deterring vandalism. By placing a camera out of reach on high walls or in the ceiling, many spur-of-the-moment attacks can be prevented.
The downside may be the angle of view, which to some extent can be compensated by selecting a different lens.
Intelligent video
Axis' active tampering alarm feature helps protect cameras against vandalism. It can detect if a camera has been redirected, obscured or tampered with, and can send alarms to operators.
This is especially useful in installations with hundreds of cameras in demanding environments where keeping track of the proper functioning of all cameras is difficult. It is also useful in situations where no live viewing takes place and operators can be notified when cameras have been tampered with.

After defeating R&R Construction in the preliminary round of the playoffs last week, the Warwick PAL Junior American Legion team made a run at West Warwick Post Two in the quarterfinals, but came up a little bit short.
Sixth-seeded PAL beat No. 3 West Warwick 11-1 on Sunday in their best-of-three series before West Warwick came back to beat PAL 9-1 on Monday.
That set up a winner-take-all third game on Tuesday, and West Warwick pulled out the win 10-1.
The loss ended PAL's season, while West Warwick advanced to the state semifinals, which are slated to begin today.

Whoever wins the race to represent District 113 of the N.C. House will be doing a lot of driving, just as Democrat George Alley and Republican Chris Whitmire have done as they've campaigned across the far-reaching district.
The 113th stretches from Sapphire in western Transylvania county, across southern Henderson County and all the way to Sandy Springs in eastern Polk county. In Henderson, it includes 10 voting precincts: Armory, Atkinson, Crab Creek, East Flat Rock, Etowah South, Etowah Valley, Flat Rock, Green River, Horseshoe and Raven Rock.
Whitmire, who currently chairs the Transylvania County Board of Education, defeated incumbent Trudi Walend in a close race for the GOP nomination, taking 51 percent of the vote. Alley was unopposed in the Democratic primary.
Democrat George Alley
Age: 47
Occupation: Resigned from his post as park superintendent for Harmon Field in Tryon to run for office.
Experience: Former executive director of the American Red Cross, Polk County chapter; former athletic director for Carolina Classical School; former executive director of Carolina United Soccer Club; vice president of Striving Towards the Educational & Athletic Development of Youth.
Republican Chris Whitmire
Age: 44
Occupation: Realtor, pilot, officer in the Air Force Reserve.
Experience: Current chairman of the Transylvania County Board of Education, on which he's served for six years.
What should the General Assembly do to bring more jobs to the 113th and to WNC as a whole?
Alley: The General Assembly should refocus our economy by recruiting jobs in high-growth industries and retraining our workforce. This can be accomplished by partnering with schools, community colleges and the business community to fund infrastructure projects, review regulatory codes, and put the long term unemployed back to work.
I would also work to support our agriculture, equine and camp industries, as they are important assets that have a substantial economic impact on our region.
Whitmire: North Carolina is currently driving industry and manufacturing away with a corporate tax rate of 6.9 percent, the death tax and burdensome gas tax of 37-plus cents per gallon, which is more than double adjoining states. Our residents struggle with unemployment/underemployment and commute considerable distances to work.
As a small-businessman, my No. 1 objective is to apply common sense and regain North Carolina's competitive advantage. We must lower the corporate tax rate, reduce unnecessary regulation and eliminate the death tax to bring industry and manufacturing home. North Carolina pales in comparison to adjoining states. South Carolina is thriving and has a corporate tax rate of 5 percent, no death tax and a gas tax of 16 cents/gallon. Correcting these discrepancies will bring jobs and must begin as soon as possible!
What changes would you like to see in the way local public schools are funded and for how teachers are held accountable for student performance?
Alley: The state matrix for funding public schools is complex, but there is one area in particular that I would like to address. Discretionary funding is a chunk of money appropriated to school districts during the budget process, but then requested back later. The decision of where to cut funds is left to each locality.
This is a political shell game devised to give the illusion that schools are fully funded and local districts are given flexibility. Let's be honest with our schools and citizens and appropriate the necessary funds to operate efficiently. In terms of teacher accountability, this is an area where I would like to see some flexibility given to local school districts. This would allow leadership and staff to come together and discuss standards and the evaluation process, allowing teachers input into their assessment.
This would help increase "buy-in" from teachers while providing agreedupon accountability targets for leadership.
Whitmire: North Carolina should reward highperforming public schools and not penalize them. Currently the state's lower-performing systems receive more state money per pupil than high-performing ones. Today's funding formulas essentially "rob Peter to pay Paul" and the top performing systems in the 113th get shorted. This in turn costs every local tax payer because local funds have to make up the shortfall.
As the Transylvania County Board of Education chairman for the past four years, I know this firsthand and will address this discrepancy. As an individual who appreciates educators and the school systems of the area and the numerous accomplishments that they achieve, I will seek to ensure they are properly funded.
As far as teacher accountability, I will endeavor to ensure the upcoming accountability measures are fair and accurate so our dedicated educators can focus on preparing our nation's future leaders and not be distracted with "administrivia."
What means of energy production within the state would you support and what limits, if any, should there be on energy extraction?
Alley: Along with a commitment to renewable energy sources, accessing our state's oil and natural gas resources should be a part of our long-term energy plan.
While the technological and regulatory environment for fracking has matured recently, I think we need to do a better job of mitigating the impacts of fracking not only on our water table, but also on the infrastructure surrounding the drilling sites.
Frankly, I am also not convinced that the estimated oil or shale supply warrants the investment at this time. I would rather we dedicate our resources to converting more of our state fleet to utilizing our existing national supply of natural gas.
Whitmire: The strength of the U.S. economy is the backbone of our nation's instruments of power to include our military, foreign policy and a host of other incredibly important categories including environmental stewardship.
As we (as a nation) are further gouged by petroleum producers and subsequently spend ourselves into deeper economic disarray, our economic situation and strength further declines.
Given our current state of affairs, now is the time to tap domestic natural gas and oil sources and enable supply-and-demand to alleviate the situation.
Specific to North Carolina, offshore drilling is one viable means to relieve some of our needs, and we have the ability to drill responsibly. Additionally, actively pursuing environmentally safe methods to harvest natural gas is another means that must be pursued.
As far as limits, harvesting domestic energy sources must be accomplished with proven methods to ensure we protect our environment and prevent undesired repercussions.
Does North Carolina need a voter ID law?
Alley: N.C. Board of Elections Director Veronica Degraffenreid states, "People are concerned about voter fraud, but... we are not finding evidence of (such fraud)." (Charlotte Observer 9/24/12). Electoral fraud such as manipulating the vote count or demographics, disenfranchisement, intimidation and vote-buying has a greater impact on election results and should be addressed through comprehensive reform, not through a strict voter ID law that is perceived to be a voter-suppression tactic.
Not to mention that strict voter ID laws are currently being challenged across the U.S. and are wasting taxpayer dollars in litigation. So the question becomes, how do we protect the integrity of the election process without making it harder for citizens to participate in our democracy?
Whitmire: Yes! I absolutely support voter IDs so our elective process is fair and accurate. When your vote and mine is canceled by subversive activities such as those witnessed in the ACORN scandal in the 2008 presidential election, measures to restore validity to the process MUST be taken.
The vast majority of Americans already have photo IDs, and for the extremely small percentage of individuals who do not, it is extremely feasible for the state to facilitate such. This said, the 2013 legislative session will diligently pursue voter IDs so our elections accurately reflect the will of legitimately registered citizen voters.
Q&A: Alley, Whitmire are vying for seat
Whoever wins the race to represent District 113 of the N.C. House will be doing a lot of driving, just as Democrat George Alley and Republican Chris Whitmire have done as they've campaigned across the far-reaching district.

With the bold "breastfeeding" Time magazine cover the talk of the nation today, mom and "covergirl" Jamie Lynne Grumet and her almost 4-year-old son Aram appeared on The Today Show this morning to discuss the incendiary cover image and feature. But, contrary what to some might have been expecting, Grumet didn't hop up on a soapbox to preach about attachment parenting. She actually came off as exceptionally sunny, chill, pragmatic, and -- wait for it -- accepting.
Of her breastfeeding practices, Grumet admitted, "It's a big commitment, and it's not right for everybody, and I think that's the big thing. You need to do what's best for your baby." Wow! Wait a minute! So does that mean she's not the extreme-minded, holier-than-thou commander-in-chief of the "Mommy Wars" that haters have made her out to be in the last 24 hours alone?
It's almost as if we cannot wait for the media to deliver us our next target -- someone we can hold up and then, abruptly, tear down. We fall into the trap over and over again.
Okay, so Grumet is passionate about a hot-button, divisive topic. She put herself out there in a huge way, and she even admitted on Today that she was prepared for the media attention. (Not as much as she's received, but she knew what she was getting into for the most part.) Still, there's no excuse for villainizing this woman. Especially now that she's made it blatantly clear in this interview that she "comes in peace" and isn't accusing moms who don't parent as she does of any wrongdoing.
Now that she's made it clear that she doesn't believe her attachment parenting style is necessarily for all moms and that every parent and family should do what's right for them, maybe the character assaults and personal attacks can simmer down a bit. Maybe those who don't see eye-to-eye with Grumet can stop making it like she's a wild-eyed zealot out to convert all mothers into breastfeeding robots. And even those who aren't on Team AP could just agree to disagree with her and move on! Idealistic thoughts? Sure ... but fair, open-minded folks shouldn't find it impossible.
Here's Grumet's appearance on Today if you missed it ...

Contador Maintains Innocence, Says He'll Fight Suspension
Yesterday I wrote a piece about Alberto Contador's being stripped of his 2010 Tour de France title and his suspension from competitive cycling for one year. In that story I wrote that Contador would be holding a press conference today and that he had ten days to provide any evidence that could possibly impact the ruling on his ability to compete. In typical Contador fashion, at that press conference he wasn't silent on the matter and has vowed to fight the suspension.
The whole controversy started in August when one of Contador's doping control samples tested positive for clenbuterol, a banned substance that can be used for muscle building that can also provide some short term, competitive advantages for riders. That alone would normally mean that a positive test would result in a suspension, but the drug is also used, illegally I might add, to build bulk in cattle. Contador has maintained all along that he tested positive due to eating tainted meat that was brought by a team chef from Spain on one of the rest days during the Tour, and it is quite possible that that is what happened. Trace elements of the drug can be passed into the human body from meat that has been enhanced through its use, and if that is the case, then Contador is a victim of the system, as he has said.
The Spanish cycling federation seems to acknowledge that that might be the case as well, since they offered him a one year ban and not two, which has become the standard. They seem to recognize that it is possible that the clenbuterol was passed on to the pro cyclist from something he ate, but they're also in a position that it might not matter. Contador did test positive for a banned substance, and they only have his word that he didn't take it directly for competitive reason. It puts them in a difficult position of trying to rule on the matter in a fair way, but one that is consistent with existing anti-doping policy.
So? What are your thoughts on the matter? What do you think the cycling federations should do in a case such as this one? Clearly the substance is in Contador's body, but how it got there remains a mystery. Should there be a zero tolerance rule or are there gray areas? How do those gray areas get defined?
This isn't an easy thing to rule on. On the one hand, I'm of the mind that he tested positive and that you can't take any chances. The ban needs to apply. But on the other, I'm sympathetic to the possibility that he may have picked up the drug through other means. There is no real way to be sure if Contador was cheating or not, and unfortunately that probably means you need to take the hard line on the matter.
Disagree? Than how would you rule?
4 comments:
Ignorance alone is not a valid defence, although I guess it is acceptable as mitigation given how clenbuterol can occasionally turn up in the food chain due to unscrupulous farming practices.
The problem with the one-year ban is it is neither here nor there. For me, it's not a stiff enough deterrent, but at the same time if Contador is innocent (personally, I don't believe he is, but that's just my opinion) then a year's ban is too long for a trace-positive test.
Aside from this case, the authorities should set a lower threshold so that if a tiny, non-performance enhancing amount is found in someone's sample there is scope for a warning but not a ban. At least that way we avoid this murky grey area where we sometimes punish innocent athletes "just in case".
- Adventure Junkie said...
Well said on all points. This is obviously a difficult case to weigh in on, but as I said, I think zero tolerance is in order just because it's so hard to tell where the gray areas are.
Outside magazine did a very good feature earlier this year about the 'unfairness' of the drug testing system: http://outsideonline.com/culture/201001/zach-lund-wada-1.html
I have to say, that although I can sympathise with Contador if he took the drug unintentionally, the rules are the rules. If others with good cause haven't been given exemptions, then neither should he. That doesn't mean I agree with the system, just that it should apply to all equally.
- Adventure Junkie said...
Exactly right. The rules must be enforced equally across the board, with no exceptions.
Officials should work to clarify rules in the future so these odd conditions don't come up again in the future.

Fan Appreciation Day couldn't have gone much better for the Norfolk Tides or their supporters.
With a crowd of 13,010 rocking Harbor Park, the Tides won two games against league-leading Durham in one night. They rallied for a 7-5 victory in a game suspended from Aug. 23 because of weather, then edged the Bulls 1-0 in eight innings.
The triumphs were crucial to the Tides' hopes of landing the wild-card berth in the four-team International League playoffs. Though Rochester won its game, the Tides lead the Red Wings by one game. Both teams have two to play.
To start the night, the Tides fell behind 5-1. But Norfolk scored six runs in the eighth to pull out of the hole, capped by a three-run, two-out homer by Steve Clevenger that erased a 5-4 Durham advantage.
In the regularly scheduled game, planned for seven innings, Yamaico Navarro hit a walk-off single in the eighth to bring home Luis Exposito with the winning run.
Tsuyoshi Wada pitched six shutout innings before Manny Delcarmen (3-3) pitched two hitless innings for the triumph.
The recap for the suspended game is here:
The box for the regular game is here:
Eastern League:
An eight-run fifth inning enabled Harrisburg to rout Richmond 12-3 before 7,948 at The Diamond, ensuring that the Flying Squirrels (69-71) won't finish above .500. It also ensured that the Senators (76-64) will do no worse than tie for first place in the Western Division.
Nathan Karns, one of the Washington Nationals' top prospects, pitched seven innings of six-hit ball for the victory. Jarrett Parker, who grew up in Fredericksburg, belted a solo home run off him in the second inning.
Steven Souza Jr. and Brian Jeroloman drove in three runs apiece for Harrisburg.
The box score is here:

Helena Police Chief Troy McGee praised the clerk's actions.
"I'd say the clerk was pretty astute," McGee said. "I mean, he knows how to talk to this person. Kind of commiserated with him a little. Talked to him about it and you know actually changed his mind about robbing the place. That was pretty good."
Just after midnight Monday, a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a bandanna on his face entered a Papa John's restaurant and handed the clerk a note demanding money.
The cashier started to comply, but then the man started crying and told the clerk he was just trying to provide for his wife and family.
The clerk talked with him for a few minutes and offered to make the would-be thief a pizza and some chicken wings.
As the man waited for the staff to make the food, a large knife fell out of his pocket, McGee said. He did not threaten anyone with it.
The man took the food and some soda and left on foot.
"In Helena, I don't recall recently something like this has happened," McGee said. "We have had a few in the past where people have changed their minds. But actually sitting down and waiting for the food and that sort of thing, no."
McGee said he's not sure what he could charge the man with.
"We'd like to locate the suspect," McGee said. "We'd hate to have him do this again."

Shirley Sherrod appeared on a number of the morning shows today, and she was asked if she wanted her job back. She said she did not know and she went on to say "If they had just taken the time to — even without looking at the tape — to look at me, to look at what I've stood for, to look at what I've done since I've actually been at the department, I don't think they would have been so quick to do what they did and so insistent. To now come back and say, 'Well, we're willing to look at this,' it definitely is a little bittersweet." She went on to say "I didn't make a lot of noise. … I worked for fairness for everyone." If there is a victim in this situation it is Sherrod. Yes she was inarticulate in trying to make her initial point, and Fox news is still chewing on the first words she said, but Sherrod got caught in the cultural crossfire. When the NAACP issued their resolution last week they might as well have thrown down the gauntlet. For some on the far right this was the war they have been waiting for and NAACP effectively started it. Yes, the NAACP had every right to issue the resolution but one has to wonder did they see the long term impact of such an act or was this partially an attempt to garner media attention? Well if that was part of the agenda they can claim victory. I have not heard this much talk about the organization in this century. People are talking, writing, blogging, tweeting about them, but is it for the right reasons? Have their actions over the past week brought them closer to their mission? "The mission of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination." Did the resolution against factions of the tea party, the denouncement of Shirley Sherrod, and later the apology to Ms. Sherrod move them any closer to their mission? No, but it did get them some attention from the press and the right and what they are learning is it is not always good to be in the spotlight.

Watch Out For $9.87 Credit Card Scam From Prophotosland.com
A reader named Megan noticed an unfamiliar charge for $9.87 from prophotosland.com on her WaMu credit card statement, so she began to investigate it. Not only had she never heard of it, but there was no website that domain, and a Google search turns up hit after hit of scam and fraud reports at various websites. It seems to be but one of numerous fronts charging fraudulent $9.87 fees to credit cards. Read Megan's story below and be sure to check out this page for a list of other bogus companies to watch out for.
I just noticed a charge for $9.87 on my WAMU VISA card from someone called prophotosland.com. I had no idea who or what that was, so did a quick google search hoping to jog my memory. What I found was quite a few websites complaining about the same mystery $9.87 charge from the same company and talking about how they couldn't manage to speak with any live person at said company.
So I skipped right to calling WAMU to report this fraudulent charge. The person I spoke to expressed no concern at my story and promised to send me a charge dispute form in the mail. I asked her if I should worry about the fact that this is clearly not an honest mistake and she said it was nothing to worry about unless they charge my account multiple times. I asked her what about the phenomenon of multiple people having the exact same fraudulent charge on their accounts and she said WAMU could do nothing about it.
I find it a bit ridiculous that I have to sit around waiting for her to put this form in the mail to me (as opposed to having something built into their website) and that I have to go to the trouble of "disputing" the charges from a documented fraudulent company. I don't expect to have any problem with the dispute, but it's still a bit irritating.
Anyway, you might want to warn your readers to look out for this $9.87 charge… it's small enough that I imagine people who use their cards often won't really notice the difference unless they're paying attention.
If you're a victim of this $9.87 scam, file a complaint with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov.

Number: 110-33
Date: July 17, 2008
House and Senate Override President's Veto of H.R. 6331, the
"Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008"
On July 15, 2008, the President vetoed H.R. 6331. Subsequently, on that same day, the House of Representatives and the Senate voted to override the President's veto of the bill. The House vote was 383–41 and the Senate vote was 70–26. H.R. 6331 became P.L. 110-275.
A general description of the bill may be found in Legislative Bulletins 110-29 and 110-32. P.L. 110-275 contains the following provisions of interest to SSA:
Eliminating Barriers to Medicare Savings Programs Enrollment (Title I, Section 113)
• Requires SSA to provide applicants for Medicare Part D Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) with information about Medicare Savings Programs (MSP) assistance, including information about how to contact the State health insurance assistance program (SHIP).
• Requires SSA (with the consent of those filing) to transmit LIS application data to the States. Once received, the LIS data will serve as a protective filing for MSP, with State agencies being required to complete appropriate MSP development and make eligibility determinations. The content, form, and manner in which information (on a uniform basis for all States) shall be transmitted will be determined by the Commissioner, in consultation with HHS and the States. Effective January 1, 2010.
• Requires SSA to provide MSP training to employees currently involved in LIS application-taking, so that those employees can promote beneficiary awareness of MSP, thereby increasing MSP participation.
• Provides start-up funding of $24.1 million to SSA for activities related to MSP outreach and transmittal of data to states. Funds will be appropriated as of October 1, 2008, and remain available until expended. Ongoing funding for MSP-related activities will be provided, beginning with fiscal year 2011, through a separate ongoing appropriation of $3 million annually to HHS. HHS will provide this funding to SSA via a reimbursable agreement, and the funds will only be available to HHS for this specific purpose.
• Provides funding of $24.8 million to SSA for LIS activities required due to changes in MSP and LIS programs. Funds will be appropriated as of October 1, 2008, and remain available until expended.
Exemption From Income and Resources for Determination of Eligibility for Low-Income Subsidy (Title I, Section 116)
• Eliminates counting in-kind support and maintenance as income and life insurance as a resource for LIS purposes. Effective for applications filed on or after January 1, 2010.
Judicial Review of Decisions of the Commissioner of Social Security Under the Low-Income Subsidy Program (Title I, Section 117)
• Codifies SSA's existing policy that denied LIS applicants can appeal to the civil courts, once the administrative appeals process is exhausted. Effective as if enacted with the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003.
Translation of Standardized Medicare Savings Programs Application (Title I, Section 118)
• Requires HHS to translate their model MSP application into at least the 10 languages (other than English) most often used by Medicare applicants, and to make the translated forms available at Social Security offices. Effective January 1, 2010.
• Extends the Qualifying Individual (QI) program through December 2009 (QI is one of the Medicare Savings Programs). Additional funding of $200 million will be provided through December 2008, with an additional $500 million for 2009. (Title I, Section 111)
• Applies the LIS standard resources test ($6,290 for an individual/$9,440 for a couple in 2008) to MSP. As with the LIS program, the MSP resource limitations will be adjusted annually according to changes in the consumer price index. Effective January 1, 2010. (Title I, Section 112)
• Eliminates Part D late enrollment penalties for individuals who are eligible for LIS. Effective January 1, 2009. (Title I, Section 114)
• Clarifies that, in the event of a recipient's death, the State is not allowed to attempt recovery (through the recipient's estate) of costs associated with providing MSP assistance. Effective January 1, 2010. (Title I, Section 115)

Show Your Work
We require proof.
Sure, in the real world having the right answer is all that matters. But maybe if you show your work and it *doesn't* turn out to simplify to "i <3 u", you can figure out why without a relationship counselor.
Oh, that phrase dreaded by math students everywhere: show your work. Once you get to a certain point in math, it's kind of like when someone asks you to give directions on how to tie a shoelace and suddenly you have no idea how you tie a shoelace. First you tap into the muscle memory....

Liberty Coach Reports High Rally Turnout/Sales
February 24, 2010 by RVBusiness Comments Off on Liberty Coach Reports High Rally Turnout/Sales
Family-owned and operated Liberty Coach reported record attendance at their 9th annual Stuart Open House. The company also sold six coaches during the four-day event, held Feb. 4-7 at Liberty's Stuart, Fla., facility, according to a press release.
With attendance maxed out at 52 couples — double the number of last year's rally — the company was encouraged by the turnout.
"Our goal is to sell 10% of the rally attendees, so we are very pleased to exceed that at this rally," remarked Frank Konigseder, vice president of Liberty Coach. "With this upturn in attendance and sales, we are cautiously optimistic the country is beginning to build momentum toward economic recovery."
Clients drove in from around the country for four days of tours, seminars, cocktail parties, and camaraderie, with some coming from as far away as Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Texas, Maine, and Virginia.
"In most cases, our client base is still fortunate enough to have their wealth, but 2009 made everyone more cautious," said Frank Jr.'s wife, Carolyn, who handles the company's marketing and exterior paint design. "Our clientele is like family and we always look forward to seeing them at this annual event. We were thrilled that 25% of the people attending this year's event had never been to a Liberty Coach rally before."
With a showroom and service center in Stuart and a manufacturing facility with service center in North Chicago, Ill., Liberty Coach has been involved in the coaching industry for more than 40 years. Today, the company builds on average about 28 new coaches each year. In 2008, Liberty Coach was awarded the Crestron Integration Award for their innovative use of the Crestron remote control system that controls seven zones of audio, video, lighting, HVAC, shades and even the outdoor awning, in addition to monitoring and managing the fresh water and waste water, power generator, air doors and locks.

Cleanup Brings Muskegon Lake Area of Concern Closer to Restoration, Delivers Results Under Great Lakes Initiative
Release Date: 05/14/2012
Contact Information: Peter Cassell, 312-886-6234, email@example.com
CHICAGO (May 14, 2012) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and the City and County of Muskegon today announced the completion of a contaminated sediment removal project at the Division Street Outfall to Muskegon Lake. This project brings Muskegon Lake closer to being removed from a binational list of Areas of Concern in the Great Lakes.
"The work by federal, state, county, city and other partners over the years has helped deliver real results under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative," said Cameron Davis, Senior Advisor to the EPA Administrator. "This work will help boost human, ecological and local economic health. But we can't stop here. We're looking for new partners to match funds to accelerate cleanups in other Areas of Concern in Michigan and around the Great Lakes."
The $12 million project under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's Legacy Act removed about 43,000 cubic yards of sediment contaminated with mercury and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs. The contamination contributed to limits on eating fish caught in the lake, as well as loss of habitat and other environmental problems.
"The State of Michigan is excited to work with the EPA Great Lakes Legacy Act in cleaning up our Areas of Concern. We appreciate the time and effort of the local partners in restoring the values of the Muskegon Lake area to the local community," said Patty Birkholz, Director of the Office of the Great Lakes.
The Muskegon Lake Area of Concern includes the entire lake, which is separated from Lake Michigan by sand dunes and a navigation channel. The Muskegon River flows through the lake before emptying into Lake Michigan. Additional tributaries include Mosquito Creek, Ryerson Creek, Ruddiman Creek, Green Creek, and Four Mile Creek. In the 1980s, the U.S. and Canada identified 43 highly degraded shoreline areas along the Great Lakes. Today there are 30 AOCs wholly in the U.S. or shared with Canada.
The Great Lakes provide more than 30 million Americans with drinking water and underpin a multi-billion dollar economy. In February 2009, President Obama proposed the GLRI, the largest investment in the Great Lakes in two decades.
The GLRI Action Plan, which covers FY 2010 through 2014, was developed by a task force of 16 federal departments and agencies to implement the president's historic initiative. It calls for aggressive efforts to address five urgent priority focus areas:
· Cleaning up toxics and toxic hot spot areas of concern
· Combating invasive species.
· Promoting near-shore health by protecting watersheds from polluted runoff.
· Restoring wetlands and other habitats.
· Raising public awareness, tracking progress and working with partners.
The plan also ensures accountability by establishing measures of progress and benchmarks for success.
For more on the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, see www.glri.us.

You slip on your cozy slippers and make your way into the kitchen, where you are met with a hot bowl of steel cut oats, a bowl of fresh fruit, a poached egg perhaps (yum, I'm getting hungry). You sit at the table and before you eat (and/or afterwards – your choice) you chant your morning mantra and the fat mysteriously melts away!!!

'For Neda' documentary co-producer shares filming experiences tonight
Loyola press release - December 10, 2012
Iranian journalist Saeed Kamali Dehghan will share his experiences of risking his life to secretly film a documentary inside Iran at a Loyola University New Orleans screening and Q-and-A session today. The screening features "For Neda," the HBO documentary detailing the struggle in Iran through the life and untimely death of Neda Agha-Soltan. The free event, set for 6:30 p.m. in room 332 of Bobet Hall, is sponsored by Loyola University New Orleans Film Buffs Institute.
Kamali Dehghan worked to locate and film interviews with Agha-Soltan's family in order to tell the story of the young woman who lived her life in opposition to the Iran regime's restrictive treatment of women. Her death drew international attention in 2009 after she was shot during the Iranian election protests that year.
Though Kamali Dehghan is a foreign correspondent for The Guardian newspaper in London, he is currently in the U.S. through the State Department's International Visitor Leadership Program. His visit to New Orleans was organized by the New Orleans Citizen Diplomacy Council.

LAS VEGAS — A confident Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama of failing to do enough to create jobs as he campaigned Friday ahead of GOP presidential caucuses this weekend in a state with sky-high unemployment and foreclosure rates. Newt Gingrich, who is fighting for a respectable showing here, rolled out a fresh line of criticism by comparing the former Massachusetts governor to Obama.
"It isn't good enough for the Republican Party to nominate Obama lite," Gingrich told a boisterous crowd at a rally at country music club in this entertainment hub. He argued that Romney "clearly is against the American ideal" and doesn't understand the free market.
Romney didn't immediately counter the attack.
He cruised to victory in Florida last Tuesday, handily won this state four years ago and is heavily favored to win Saturday's contest. Gingrich, Texas Rep. Ron Paul and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum also are on the ballot. But Romney, a Mormon, has an existing network of support from his 2008 race and likely will again benefit from the support of members of his church, many of whom live in Nevada.
Clearly in command, Romney spent Friday largely ignoring Gingrich and focusing the on the economy, and for good reason. Nevada's unemployment rate was 12.6 in December — well above the national average — after a record economic bust that saw bustling construction sites abandoned and master-planned communities overtaken by foreclosures.
As he swept through Reno, Elko and Las Vegas, Romney sought to convince weary voters that he alone had the prescriptions for what ails the country — even as the government reported that a quarter-million Americans streamed back into the workforce in January and unemployment tumbled to 8.3 percent. Romney acknowledged the brightening economic picture but argued that it had little to do with Obama or his policies.
"The policies of this administration have not been helpful. They, in fact, have been harmful. They have slowed down the recovery, made it more difficult," Romney said at a home and yard supply company in Reno, where he talked about the economy with local business leaders. "The president deserves the blame that he'll receive in this campaign."
Gingrich, in an interview on CNN, said the Democrat's policies have driven up the national debt and raised the price of gasoline.
"The economy even at 8.3 percent is dramatically weaker than it was under Ronald Reagan at this exact same point in his first term," he said.
But as Gingrich looks to recover from a shellacking in Florida, he chose to spend much of his time hammering home his latest argument against a Romney presidency — that there is virtually no difference between Romney and Obama.
For the second day in a row, Gingrich castigated Romney for saying that he's not focused on the poor because they already have a safety net. Romney has said he misspoke, but Gingrich sought to use the moment to gain the upper hand, saying it's another instance where Romney and Obama are similar.
"Obama is big food stamp. He's little food stamp. But they both think foods stamps are OK," said Gingrich. "I don't think food stamps are the future for America."
Invoking a deep-pocked donor to liberal causes, Gingrich added: "I don't think the Republican Party wants to approve a George Soros-approved candidate. I think we want a candidate who represents Americans who work, pay taxes and believe in the Declaration of Independence — not somebody who clearly is against the American ideal."
Gingrich, who has been on the defensive over his work for Freddie Mac, also sought to turn the tables on Romney, who invested in the housing giant that has been blamed for helping cause the housing meltdown.
"We did not create Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac so rich guys like Mitt Romney and Goldman Sachs could make money," Gingrich said.
Gingrich has kept a light schedule in Nevada as he fights for a respectable showing and looks for the GOP contest to turn to the South again in March.
Paul campaigned in Pahrump, a rural community in Nye County, the lone Nevada county the Texas congressman won during the 2008 campaign.
Santorum was in Missouri, which holds a non-binding contest Tuesday. Gingrich is not on the ballot there.
To that end, Santorum cast Gingrich's effort as a decaying campaign and said that the former House speaker's decision to stay in the race was only helping Romney.
"With Speaker Gingrich out of the race, almost all of the votes he has go to me," Santorum said in Hannibal, Mo., pointing to the upcoming Missouri contest as a chance to illustrate his point. "When we go head to head with Gov. Romney, we can beat him."
Associated Press writers Philip Elliott in Hannibal, Mo., and Beth Fouhy in Pahrump, Nev., contributed to this report.

Released last year, Windows 8 is an important operating platform for organizations that are invested in the Windows ecosystem. Under the hood, the new operating system from Microsoft delivers substantial security improvements and faster boot times, even as it integrates new features such as full touch support and the Windows Store for fuss-free downloading and installation of apps.
We can't deny, however, that its take-up has been relatively muted. To address criticisms from both consumers and businesses, Microsoft has made a notable number of changes in the free Windows 8.1 update. The usual stability enhancements aside, check out the top 10 things to like about Windows 8.1.

Parents Are Never Going To Be Able To Monitor All Kids Online Activities
from the but-think-of-the-children! dept
"Violence has always been and remains a central interest of humankind and a recurrent, even obsessive theme of culture both high and low ... It engages the interest of children from an early age, as anyone familiar with the classic fairy tales collected by Grimm, Andersen, and Perrault are aware. To shield children right up to the age of 18 from exposure to violent descriptions and images would not only be quixotic, but deforming; it would leave them unequipped to cope with the world as we know it."Parents should be aware of what their kids are doing online by talking to them about it, and helping to educate their kids on the risks they face, but that doesn't mean spying on their every move. That will only backfire.

Rumours of a Mass Effect prequel, as well as confirmed Gears, and God, of War backstories, mean prequels are all the rage. And you know what? That's causing some rage.
The same thing is happening in the movie business. It's basically a sign of running out of ideas.
I'm not sure what the problem is, I'll happily play a sequel or prequel so long as the writing holds up. A wash of prequels in the next year or so will bring out a whole load of "how unoriginal" commentaries. Seriously, get a grip.
Expaning a universe is hardly an issue , if the mythology of it is actually worth expanding .
If anything it usually create the ground work and hints for things to come in the real sequels .
it's often that or having the same folks complaining about prequels , making the point that the changes from the sequels are out of the blue , makes no sense , are arbitrary etc etc
Yeah I was thinking about this yesterday. They obviously wrapped up the main story with trilogies and since they are unable to advance the story they have to go back because they're not going to create a new IP why would they when the current universe can be dabbled into.

A flight to Miami to pick up a critically ill patient bound for UAB Hospital is fairly routine for Ron Saladin, a pilot with the University of Alabama at Birmingham's Critical Care Transport (CCT) team, but something has gone wrong today.
"We have a problem," Saladin calls to the medical team in the back of the Cessna Citation Bravo — UAB's flying intensive care unit. "I'll try to make Crystal River Airport."
Moments later, a chilling update.
"I don't think we're going to make it," he says. "We're going in about 2 miles west of the airport. We'll crash-land in the swamp."
The crew works to don life preservers as smoke begins to fill the dark cabin; but the smoke is coming from a theatrical fog machine, and the plane is not dropping through the sky somewhere off Crystal River. It is sitting in its hangar at the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport.
This is a drill.
"All of our team members are required to go through a safety drill at least once a year," said Laura Lee Demmons, R.N., director of UAB CCT. "It's fun, hands-on, practical training that we hope they will never need."
The Oct. 30 drill reminded the team members — ICU nurses, respiratory therapists, nurse practitioners and physicians — about safety procedures in the event something goes wrong on a flight.
"Safety is one of the top things we focus on with our team members," said Kevin Barlotta, M.D., the CCT medical director. "We do these drills to be sure that everyone is familiar with the emergency procedures."
Team members get a refresher with on-board equipment that is needed infrequently and review the contents of the plane's survival kit. They practice communication and teamwork skills.
In addition to the aircraft, UAB CCT has three ground vehicles — rolling intensive care units. Team members also review procedures for locating emergency gear and evacuating the vehicles in the event of a crash. They even put out a small fire.
"The premise is that, if you practice a skill, it's a lot easier to perform that skill when a real emergency comes along," said Demmons.
For new team member Wynn Glass, the training is invaluable.
"Especially to those of us who are new," said Glass, a respiratory therapist who has not yet taken her first flight. "We don't know what to expect, so getting in the plane, being engulfed in smoke and learning where we need to be is important."
Saladin, a veteran pilot with Lifeguard Ambulance Service, which contracts with UAB CCT, stressed to the team that experience and familiarity with their surroundings is key.
"He reminded us that, yes, it's an emergency situation, but we shouldn't panic," said Glass. "The more you can practice that and have hands-on experience, the better."
"We're a patient-care-oriented service, so that's always priority No. 1," said Barlotta. "But I think inherent to being able to meet that mission is always to make sure that we are being safe ourselves. We take a lot of care to ensure that, when we do deploy our team, we do so in the best way possible for our patient and for our service."
Each new team member, like Glass, gets one other unique experience. While reviewing survival gear and techniques, each participant is encouraged to eat a cricket. If one is stranded in a remote corner of the world while awaiting rescue, insects might be the only easily obtainable food source. It is just one more skill to practice, and team members get a T-shirt if they join "the cricket club."
"Cricket-eating is optional, but you'd be surprised what people will do for a T-shirt," Demmons said. "I have done it, and my cricket was a lot bigger than the ones you see here today," she said with a laugh.
Glass was game to give it a try.
"The cricket was awesome," she said. "It was very earthy, actually. It had a pretty decent taste to it. I was pleasantly surprised."

Jakey's many dates
Us Magazine says that Jake Gyllenhaal had breakfast with Jessica Lowndes in New York last Friday. Curiously that's the same day that Taylor Swift and Garrett Hedlund had dinner for the first time in Tennessee. Click here for a refresher on that.
Who's Jessica Lowndes? Good question.
She's on 90210. Not the on and off famewhore with Kellan Lutz and not the other one with the super skinny legs but the other other one who's Canadian. I met her at a fashion show once in Toronto. Pretty and a very nice, healthy body. The profile however… well… it's not exactly equal.
Having said that, breakfast does seem to be just breakfast. Because later that night, Us says that Jakey showed up at a party with someone else. And then two days later, he was seen at lunch with yet another nameless, unfamous girl. Which makes it much less interesting. A single celebrity dating from the celebrity pool is one thing. A single celebrity going outside the circle is another. It's boring unless you're the non-celebrity and/or her friends who get to talk about it. And when is Olivia Wilde going to climb all over that. Or Blake Lively? Please. You know it's only a matter of time.

(Staten Island, NY)… In response to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approval of the abortion pill (RU-486), Father Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life issued the following statement:
"The availability of the RU-486 drug technique is further evidence of the total lack of regard for the health and well-being of women and their children on the part of those who promote abortion.
"The first generation of users of this chemical time-bomb will be the "guinea pigs" whose future experience will provide the real test of the safety of this technique.
"We will diligently watch for the cases that will inevitably arise of children who are born deformed because of failed abortions attempts using this technique. The pro-life movement will not fail to attend to the implications of medical malpractice, which such cases contain.
"Contrary to the predictions of some pro-choice groups, this drug technique leaves unchanged the mission of the pro-life movement and its ability to carry out that mission; namely, to provide life-giving alternatives to abortion, to provide healing after abortion, to advance the equality of unborn children, and to vigorously protest the abuse of medicine and law which abortion represents.
"Nor will the current attention being given to early chemical abortions succeed in distracting us from the fact that "pro-choice" claims to include the right to partial birth abortion, even in the latest stages of pregnancies on babies that are fully viable and mostly delivered."

OK, I missed Web Comic Appreciation Day. And I missed the MST3K thing. Why? Because I'm so far ahead, I guess. I try to keep at least a month of strips (5 weeks is my going rate) so by the time these things get announced, it's already too late for me. Those that do get announced in time tend to be overly-involving and I just can't figure out how to DO them and still keep a running storyline.
Anyway, I could've done what GPF did and beg people to buy my crap, but I don't sell any crap. Why? Because who the hell would buy it? Me and 2 other people, that's who. I'm a realist here.
The 120 (yes up to 120 WOO!!) people that read this enjoy it enough to keep it on their bookmark list and occationally write me a quick note. You know what? That's 10 times what I ever hoped for. But this is a hobby and if it makes people laugh or even grin, hell, it's better than collecting stamps.
So, Web comic appreciation day is fine and all, but I doubt if the 120 readers are going to ponder any greater future for web comics just because I throw something up for them to read. Plus, I'd just be preaching to the choir here. I know that I'm not reaching anyone who isn't reading GPF or Sluggy or User Friendly also. So let them do the work.
Not much of a rant, eh? Oh well. WRESTLING SUCKS!! IT'S ALL FAKE AND THE WOMEN SCARE ME!
How's that? Loud, contraversial and in all caps. Better? Good. Off you go now.

Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova advance at Madrid Open
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
MADRID – Rafael Nadal cruised into the Madrid Open quarterfinals with a 6-2, 6-3 victory Thursday over Mikhail Youzhny that featured an array of creative shots.
Top-ranked Serena Williams and No. 2 Maria Sharapova also reached the quarterfinals in straight sets.
Having already established control by winning Youzhny's second service game, Nadal kept a point going with a deft no-look backhand flick before nailing a winner down the line to hold his serve and delight his fans at the Caja Magica.
The fifth-ranked Spaniard broke Youzhny again by dinking the ball over the net while on the run, giving it so much backspin it twisted away from the Russian.
Fittingly, Nadal polished off the third-round match by chasing down a ball and returning it cross-court.
Nadal, who is aiming for his seventh straight final since returning from injury, improved to 28-2 this year.
He will play either David Ferrer or Tommy Haas in the quarterfinal.
Also, Tomas Berdych defeated Kevin Anderson of South Africa 7-6 (5), 7-5, to make the final eight, while Pablo Andujar also advanced after fellow Spaniard Daniel Gimeno-Traver retired.
Second-seeded Roger Federer and third-seeded Andy Murray also have third-round matches later Thursday.
Williams dispatched Maria Kirilenko of Russia 6-3, 6-1, after Sharapova put away Sabine Lisicki of Germany 6-2, 7-5.
Williams dominated Kirilenko, who dropped the first set with one of several unforced errors. The defending champion also used a strong serve and return game, working the 12th-ranked Russian back and forth on the baseline of the red clay court with her precise forehand drives.
"I just felt really relaxed, like I was taking my time," Williams said. "I had been missing my serve when I was hitting it harder, so I took some pace off and didn't hit as hard as I usually do.
"It was easy because when you take off pace you don't hit as hard and don't exhaust as much energy. And hitting a serve or a winner are both fun."
Williams will face Anabel Medina Garrigues of Spain, who reached the quarterfinals after Yaroslava Shvedova withdrew with a right arm injury.
The 15-time Grand Slam winner called Medina Garrigues a "grinder" and predicted a "tough match" in front of the Spanish crowd.
Williams beat Sharapova in the quarterfinals last year en route to the title. This year they are on opposite sides of the bracket, meaning they could only meet in the final.
Sharapova used her big serve to take the first set with relative ease, but Lisicki put up resistance in the second.
Both players traded early breaks in the second set before Sharapova converted a fourth break point when Lisicki returned her well-placed slice into the net.
Sharapova didn't waste the opportunity to serve out the match, hitting an ace and forcing Lisicki into three errors in the final game to finish the match.
"She is the kind of opponent that plays extremely well against the top players," said Sharapova, who lost to Lisicki last year at Wimbledon.
Sharapova will face either Daniela Hantuchova or Kaia Kanepi next.
The Madrid Open is a key warm-up tournament for the French Open, where Sharapova will try to defend her title.
"(Last year) was an incredible memory for me and one that I will have the rest of my life," she said. "I'm still very hungry to win it. When I have that type of attitude I work harder to that goal. I find a lot of motivation at going back and trying to defend my title."
Also Thursday, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will play third-round matches.
