Skip to comments.FDIC Closes ebank
Posted on 08/21/2009 2:32:54 PM PDT by Kartographer
On Friday, August 21, 2009, ebank, Atlanta, GA was closed by the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was named Receiver. No advance notice is given to the public when a financial institution is closed.
(Excerpt) Read more at fdic.gov ...
Georgia is on the crap train for banks.
ebank as in eTrade's bank?
So, a strictly online banking entity finally goes belly up ... no bank runs there, I guess.
I've had some dealings, positive I might add, with EverBank, another stricly online bank. Their CD offerings in various currencies can provide a nice hedge for dollar fluctuations, if you're paying attention enough to stay on top of the general trend over time.
Wonder how stable they are, at this point?
I'm wondering about Emigrant-Direct...I can't find it on the listings for ratings. Shoot....I'm just gonna pull out all my money and hide it in the mattress.
Short and to the point. At least depositors are not experiencing any apparent problem, accessing their accounts. Just through Stearns in St. Cloud, MN, instead of eBank, Atlanta, GA.
Bankrate is a great site:
Protect it against physical destruction, unintentional discarding or theft. Fireproof box in a very discrete place, at a minimum. And, don't go telling people who know who you are and where you live, that you're keeping large amounts of cash on hand in your home.
Other than this, many have already done what you're joking about doing. I have. Just not my entire balance; enough to tide me over, if things ever really do go WTSHTF for six months or so.
It's prudent, not tinfoil.
Before you go to that extreme, put your money in a short-term US Treasury money market account. Much safer than the mattress, and it actually helps (just a little) by reducing the need for the Feds to issue bonds. If short-term treasuries go bad then we are really in the toilet, and your bits of green paper in the mattress won't be worth anything.
ebank as in eTrade?s bank?
Yes. Get out of eTrade.
In other financial news;
NO, it is not the same as E*Trade Bank
I know them, referenced them upthread. Had a positive experience with the currency CD.
The kicker to it, is that the most stable currencies in the program offer no rate of return. It's just a "safer" place to park your money, when the dollar is tanking. Nothing else. The ones with a higher rate are less stable. They're all FDIC insured up to the limit as well. So, it can be like a venture into FOREX, but with training wheels, lol.
so... anyone know what's left in the FDIC deposit fund?
last i heard, it was under $5 billion. how much was in eBank? and when the FDIC goes broke... and shuts down another bank... how do the people get their money that is insured? bambi just going to print more?
i wonder how many banks are left
Looks like the "rumor" WAS true.// That is, re:Guaranty Bank of Austin. Just taken over by FDIC. BBVA Compass of Birmingham to share in the spoils...
Oh oh the FDIC is already broke
And did you see this?
No problem. America is the land of milk and honey. //
Just print money. It grows on trees. But the trees are starting to rot and fall over....
I saw a good story by a guy over on lewrockwell.com by a gut named Bill Sardi about how broke the FDIC is the charts and grafts could be used at an adult Holloween Party!!!!!

Watch Founder Jean Kennedy Smith discuss the work of the VSA Affiliates
VSA, the international organization on arts and disability, was founded more than 40 years ago by Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith to provide arts and education opportunities for people with disabilities and increase access to the arts for all. Each year, 7 million people of all ages and abilities participate in VSA programs, in every aspect of the arts – from visual arts, performing arts, to the literary arts.
VSA's signature programs offer multi-faceted, unparalleled opportunities for youth with disabilities who have aspirations in the performing and visual arts.
- The VSA Playwright Discovery Competition invites middle and high school students to take a closer look at the world around them, examine how disability affects their lives and the lives of others, and express their views through the art of script writing. Writers may write from their own experience and observations, or create fictional characters and settings. Scripts can be comedies, dramas, or even musicals! Young writers with and without disabilities are encouraged to submit a script. Entries may be the work of an individual student or a collaboration by a group of students. For more information click here.
- Since 1984, the VSA International Young Soloists Program has identified talented musicians who have a disability. The VSA International Young Soloists Competition annually selects up to four outstanding musicians from the United States and the international arena, and supports and encourages them in their pursuit of a career. These emerging musicians receive $2,500, professional development opportunities, and a performance at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. Click here for more information.
- For the past ten years, VSA and Volkswagen Group of America have teamed up to recognize and showcase emerging artists with disabilities, ages 16-25, who are living in the United States through the VSA Emerging Young Artists Program. This collaboration supports these artists at a critical time when many are deciding whether to pursue the arts as a career. The award validates, and helps finance, that life-defining choice. Every year, fifteen artists are selected for the exhibition and share $60,000 in cash awards generously provided by Volkswagen Group of America. Click here for more information.
- VSA proudly presents a unique opportunity for student-artists with disabilities from around the world to display their artwork side-by-side in an online exhibition through the VSA International Art Program for Children with Disabilities. A selection of artwork from the online entries will be chosen for a live exhibition at the United States Department of Education in Washington D.C. Click here for more information.

A year after Gov. Edward Cornwallis arrived in late June 1749 with 2,500 settlers to establish Halifax, the transport Alderney sailed into the harbour with 353 settlers. Cornwallis directed that the new arrivals be settled on the east side of the harbour in an area near a big cove. For the Alderney settlers, the next several years would indeed be challenging.
The story of Dartmouth's first settlers is particularly poignant and worth recalling as Halifax Regional Council seeks recommendations regarding any changes to the commemoration of Cornwallis on civic assets and how to recognize and commemorate indigenous history in the Halifax Regional Municipality.
Dartmouth's founding has been well-chronicled by a number of historians and writers, including John P. Martin (The Story of Dartmouth) and Harry Chapman (In the Wake of the Alderney). As well, the Halifax Military Heritage Preservation Society (hmhps.ca) has prepared a historical paper on Nova Scotia's early settlers (including those settling Dartmouth).
Unsettling settlement
|A stoen plaque explaining a brief history of the city of Dartmouth and the attrocities from early days.
The settlement of Dartmouth occurred during one of the most turbulent periods in the province's history — the lull between the ending of the War of the Austrian Succession (1748) and the lead-up to the Seven Years War (1756-1763).
The ongoing conflict between the British and French also involved the Mi'kmaq, Maliseet and other indigenous groups in Acadia — all of whom were allied with the French.
The early settlers (men, women and children) — as non-combatants — were caught in the middle of the conflict, leading in some cases to violent death.
The Mi'kmaq viewed the settlers as squatters on their traditional seasonal fishing and hunting sites. Between 1749 and 1759, starting with the killing/scalping of four woodcutters and the taking of another as prisoner near Dartmouth Cove on Sept. 30, 1749, indigenous forces — sometimes supported by Acadian insurgents — carried out eight raids on Dartmouth.
The September raid triggered the decision by Cornwallis and his council to issue a proclamation that included a reward of 10 guineas for every Mi'kmaw warrior taken or killed.
Three more raids would follow in 1750 with a dozen deaths reported.
The Dartmouth Massacre
|A cairn commemorating the Alderney landing.
By the fall of 1750, John Martin noted the townsite had been laid out ". . . comprised of 11 oblong-shaped blocks, mostly 400 by 200 feet . . . (with) each building lot 50 by 100 feet . . ." (approximately 180 lots) encompassing an area that included a number of street names familiar today: Wentworth, King, Queen, Edward and Dundas.
With a new blockhouse completed on a nearby hill (Dartmouth Park) and a guard posted the new arrivals settled in for their first winter of 1750-51.
But the spring of 1751 proved tragic as the settlers experienced two raids in March and one in May that resulted in the deaths of men, women and children. The May 13 raid became known as the "Dartmouth Massacre" (with the number said to have been killed varying between 15 and 20). The sounds of gunfire and the cries of the terrorized inhabitants along with flames of burning houses were heard and observed in Halifax.
Rev. William Tutty, the missionary for Saint Paul's Church in Halifax, in a July 1751 letter to his superiors noted ". . . the savages, instigated by French treachery, have committed many outrages and most unnatural barbarities in Dartmouth, the last of which (ye of 13 of May) . . . have so intimidated the inhabitants that they have now deserted it."
John Salusbury, a member of council, recorded in his diary in part: ". . . May 13: Dartmouth attacked by a large party of Indians and do much mischief . . . near twenty kill'd and taken men, women and children. Our soldiery are constantly drunk there, neglect their guards (duty) or this would not have happened" (referring to the guard remaining inside the blockhouse and firing at the attackers through loopholes with little effect).
The settlers and soldiers killed during the raid were brought to the Old Burying Ground in Halifax for interment.
The names listed in St Paul's Burial Register for May 1751 include a larger-than-normal number of burials for the month starting with the 13th of May.
In early 1752 the Dartmouth-Halifax ferry service was started, in part to help defend the new settlement, but the May 13 raid would have long-term repercussions.
Fear and tragedy
Peregrine Hopson, who had succeeded Cornwallis as governor (after the latter had rescinded the bounty on the Mi'kmaq in 1752) reported in 1753, "At Dartmouth there is a small town well picketed in, and a detachment of troops to protect it, but there are not above five families residing in it, as there is no trade or fishing to maintain the inhabitants and they apprehend the danger from the Indians in cultivating any land on the outer side of the pickets."
In 1754 a road was built from Dartmouth to a new settlement in Lawrencetown and construction started on the Eastern Battery (Fort Clarence) to protect the eastern side of the harbour. But the Lawrencetown settlement was hit by raids with resulting deaths and no new settlers were brought to Dartmouth. As one account notes, "many settlers simply gave up and moved away."
The last Mi'kmaq raid was in 1759 when five soldiers were killed near Eastern Battery. Peace was still several years away.
The 1766 census for Dartmouth showed a population of 39 and, as Chapman notes, "Dartmouth was virtually a ghost town and would remain so for another two decades before the (Nantucket) whalers and Loyalists would arrive (1780s) to breathe new life into the town."
As Nova Scotians reflect on our collective history and how we recognize/commemorate different founding groups, let's not overlook those who came here seeking a better life but ended up meeting a tragic end.

2013 Oscars - Best Car to the Stars
Leading auto and home insurance agency, Answer Financial® Inc., shares its Oscar picks in a new category: Best Car to the Stars.
Feb 20, 2013, 07:55 EST
ENCINO, Calif., Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Amidst the glitz and glam of the star-studded Academy Awards, the media is abuzz over who will take an Oscar, which designers our celebs will don and what surprises the night will have in store. Chiming in on the Oscar fodder is the team at AnswerFinancial.com – car enthusiasts by day, movie goers by night – with a new category for the Academy: Best Car to the Stars.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121009/LA88943LOGO)
Here's what leading actors in the Academy's Best Picture nominated films are driving.
Django Unchained - Leonardo DiCaprio
Leo has been long known as an environmental activist, so it's no surprise to see him in a fuel efficient car. His latest ride – the 2012 Fisker Karma hybrid – takes sustainability even further with reclaimed and recycled interior wood trim, animal-free interiors, solar panel roof and "Diamond Dust" paint that uses flakes of re-cycled glass. DiCaprio has even partnered with the company through his foundation dedicated to protecting the planet 'and all of its inhabitants'. To protect his Karma, Leo can easily compare a variety of insurers and coverages.
Silver Linings Playbook – Bradley Cooper
In an interview by Vanity Fair contributor, Brett Berk, and reported by CelebrityCarsBlog.com, Bradley named among his possession a 2007 Toyota Prius and a 2004 G55 AMG Mercedes, but what did he confess he 'dreams about when [he's] away'? This Best Actor nominated favorite loves his Vespa! Hopefully Bradley scored on his insurance like he did with the critics, and took advantage of a multi-car discount.
Lincoln – Daniel Day-Lewis
This shoe-in for the Best Actor is revered for his complete transformations into character, famously remaining in character both on and off set throughout the entire filming of his movies. He is also notoriously humble, which may be why an investigation for the Day-Lewis-car-of-choice came up dry.
Zero Dark Thirty – Jessica Chastain
This Zero Dark Thirty beauty isn't letting newfound fame go to her head. When asked by Parade magazine how she spent her 'first big paycheck', the rising star replied, "I don't spend a lot of money on things. I still drive my 2006 Prius!" As a fan of saving, Jessica can compare multiple insurance quotes at once, with Answer Financial.
Les Miserables – Hugh Jackman
This down to Earth Aussie has an affinity for Audis, even promoting the brand as a spokesperson. He drives an Audi Q7. Answer Financial is licensed to sell insurance in all 50 states, but not in Australia, so since Hugh now lives in New York City, he too can save online or with the help of an agent.
Beasts of the Southern Wild - Quvenzhane Wallis
Sorry, Nazie! At 9 years old she'll just have to settle for a shot at Best Actress.
Argo – Ben Affleck
His face has graced many screens, but this accomplished actor is equally regarded for his achievements as a director, producer and Oscar-winning screenwriter. What's this all-around talented artist driving? If you guessed the Tesla Model S, you'd be right. We're betting a guy this busy doesn't have time to shop for the best insurance rate. That's why Answer Financial does the work for you.
Life of Pi - Suraj Sharma
On how he scored the lead in the film, this 19 year old newcomer from New Delhi, India explained that he has his brother to thank. As a favor (and with the promise of free lunch), Suraj auditioned with his brother for moral support and wound up winning the part. While we weren't able to locate this young star's ride, Suraj commented on Jimmy Kimmel Live that driving through LA in a cab reminds him of Grand Theft Auto.
Amour - Jean-Louis Trintignant
Among his many accolades, Jean-Louis Trintignant can claim to be one of France's most esteemed actors, a successful viticulturist and an accomplished race car driver! The actor-racer competed for more than 2 decades before trading in his keys for a vineyard in South France.
These are your choices for the 2013 Oscars - Best Car to the Stars. Who wins your vote?

What is Amazon hiding?
Amazon last week reported strong sales and earnings last week, with sales up 46%, operating income up 62% and net income 68% above figures a year ago. Some investors were disappointed at a decline in gross margin, but otherwise it's a very impressive quarter.
However, as usual, it gave no information about sales of Kindle hardware or content.
As I did in December 2008, I wonder: what is Amazon hiding? We have quarterly and even first weekend sales for iPhones and iPads from Apple, a $45 billion/year member of the Fortune 500 that's far bigger than Amazon (almost 2x revenues, 9x profits).
We also have the number of smartphones sold by Nokia, the number of PCs sold by HP and Dell — not to mention the number of Toyota, Ford and GM cars sold last week.
Some speculate that the Kindle sales are buried in the 72% ($1.5 billion) growth in "Electronics & Other General Merchandise" to $3.51 billion, although some of that is presumably due to last year's acquisition of Zappos.
At the end of 2009, CEO Jeff Bezos said "millions" of Kindles have been sold. Assuming 2 million as the upper limit, at $250 each that's $0.5 billion on 2009 sales of $24.5 billion. So I suppose until sales are 5x as big (proportionately), Amazon will be able to postpone honest disclosure of how the Kindle is really doing.
Once we get Kindle sales, perhaps Barnes & Noble will level with us on Nook sales. I'm not holding my breath.
Update Monday 11am: Taiwanese news site Digitimes concludes that the Nook gained 53% of US e-book shipments in March 2010, surpassing Kindle. It estimates 2009 global e-reader sales at 3.8 million, projecting 11.4 m in 2010. Hat tip: Jay Yarrow, Forbes.

Demi Lovato suffered a near-panic attack when she first registered for treatment because she realised she'd have to live with 25 strangers.
The Skyscraper hitmaker checked into rehab late last year (10) after an incident on tour with the Jonas Brothers in South America made her take stock of her life and realise she needed help for a series of issues, including an eating disorder and self-harming.
And her first day in treatment was a harrowing experience because it brought back memories of a former bullying hell.
She tells Access Hollywood Live, "I have social anxiety issues when it comes to girls my age because I dealt with bullying, so when I stepped into a treatment centre, where I was having to live with 25 strangers... I was like, 'Oh my gosh!' I almost had a full-blown panic attack."
But she's so glad she spent three months seeking help, because now she realises just how bad her problems were.
Lovato adds, "I was dealing with a lot... and the problem with certain issues that I was dealing with is that if you don't get help soon enough, you do reach a point where you have to go to treatment.
"The breaking point for me... I was tired and I was out of the country... and things had just built up to a point and I was just not healthy and when you're putting on concerts when you're not eating that'll take a toll on you, and it did, and I snapped and I regret it to this day. I made a really poor decision (slapped a dancer) and it landed me in treatment. But treatment was the best decision that I ever made and it saved my life.
"I didn't want to go to treatment and I didn't want to get help. I totally was not done with my eating disorder and I wasn't done with my problems. I thought, 'I'm only 18, I've got so much to go (sic). If I lose 15 more pounds I can do this; why are you stopping me...?' But it's taking a toll on your whole family.
"I was so sick and I thought that orange juice was gonna make me fat. It was really bad.
"Now I'm happy and I'm doing awesome."

NBCS has a specific Bush Fire Plan, drawn up with accredited Bush Fire Authorities, and reviewed annually. This strategy has provision for response to several possible contingencies.
Actual closure of the school, and where required during a school day, evacuation, would occur under the advice of Fire, Rescue or Police authorities if:
Catastrophic Fire Intensity
Scenario: Official authority fire warnings are listed as forecasting CATASTROPHIC fire intensity as a result of predicted fire weather conditions for the local areas near the school - this is usually provided by authorities up to 24 hours in advance.
NBCS Response: Authority warnings through the media would be reinforced by an email and SMS notification of SCHOOL CLOSURE to all parents directing that students be kept at home and not sent to school. Should the warning be upgraded to CATASTROPHIC during the school day parents will be notified and whole school evacuation would be implemented (see below).
Nearby bushfire activity
Scenario: There is the occurrence of bushfire activity within Garigal or Ku-ring-gai Chase National Parks in conjunction with SEVERE or EXTREME fire intensity as a result of predicted fire weather conditions within the local school area.
NBCS Response: Will be dependent upon authority advice regarding the nature, location, predicted movements and impacts of the bushfire activity. Should the school be advised that site evacuation is required, Forest Coach Lines has agreed to assist and parents will be notified by SMS regarding the start of student exit from the school site. Our evacuation strategy allows for a carefully structured and supervised exit to maximise the personal safety of everyone involved and to expedite site clearance thus helping Emergency Services access – siblings to be evacuated together as the youngest leaves (refer to the NBCS website for further details relating to buses).
If school evacuation is initiated, parents must not come to the school site, but should collect students from Wyatt Reserve Oval.
Wyatt Reserve is in Wyatt Ave, Belrose, which is 10 minutes (8km) away from NBCS. To assist a smooth single direction flow for cars and shuttle buses, parents should use the following route:
- Enter Wyatt Ave at Forest Way (lights)
- Collect child
- Exit via left turn into Cotentin Rd
- Left turn into Ralston Rd, and back to Forest Way.
Download: NBCS Evacuation Schedule - bus and time estimates (PDF)
The school is required to document that the site is actually cleared, and also to ascertain the future whereabouts of all students exiting. Parents in cars, collecting students from Wyatt Oval, should be prepared to 'circle the block' and display any windscreen signage they usually use at NBCS. An NBCS parent authorised to remove other than their own children, must be prepared to respond with required information (mobile number, name of car occupants, car registration) before the removal of that child.
Onsite Refuge
If the school is alerted that fire has suddenly sprung up, or quickly reached, within 5 km of the campus boundary, and thus the danger is judged as 'immediate', authorities will assist us to move all personnel in a pre-planned response, to the designated Onsite Refuge Area which is within the Sports Centre. Onsite Emergency Personnel will also use this building as their Onsite Refuge if required.
Parents will be notified as soon as possible by SMS of this response requirement. At such a time it should be anticipated that surrounding roads would be temporarily closed and approach to the Terrey Hills area would be stopped by authorities.

Fantasy NASCAR Picks for Sprint Cup Series at TexasOctober 28, 2013
Fantasy NASCAR Picks for Sprint Cup Series at Texas
This week, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads back to Texas Motor Speedway for the AAA Texas 500.
Texas is one of the fastest race tracks on the schedule. Last April, Kyle Busch broke the track record with a qualifying speed of 196.299 mph. The tight corners at the race track put a premium on handling. Usually, this means the crew chiefs are just as important as the drivers at Texas. Chad Knaus and the No. 48 team may be the team to beat this week.
The last race at Texas was dominated by Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. The two drivers combined to lead 313 of the 343 laps in the race. Busch started on the pole and won the race, while Truex started fifth and finished second. Both drivers would make excellent choices for your fantasy team this week.
Since the NASCAR Sprint Cup season is coming to an end, it is becoming more difficult to find drivers for your fantasy NASCAR team. For those who play the Yahoo! Fantasy Auto Racing game, selecting your teams is more about allocations than it is about who will win the race.
Since most fantasy NASCAR teams are running low on the number of starts on the good drivers, I am ranking the drivers in Group A, Group B and Group C in Yahoo! Fantasy Auto Racing to help you determine who would be the best driver for your team.
Here are my selections for the race Sunday at Texas….
Group A
- Jimmie Johnson
- Matt Kenseth
- Kevin Harvick
- Brad Keselowski
- Jeff Gordon
- Clint Bowyer
- Kasey Kahne
- Denny Hamlin
Jimmie Johnson is the clear-cut favorite in Group A, but there are other drivers from this group who can compete for the win.
Matt Kenseth is a two-time winner at Texas, and he has five victories on the 1.5-mile race tracks this season.
Kevin Harvick has completed half of the races he has started at Texas in the top 10. He will finish in the top 10 again this week.
Brad Keselowski is a good sleeper pick this week. Historically, he is not very good at Texas, but he finished second in this race last year and ninth in the April race.
Below are my rankings for Group A. It will be hard to go wrong with any of these drivers this week.
Group B
- Kyle Busch
- Martin Truex Jr.
- Carl Edwards
- Greg Biffle
- Joey Logano
- Dale Earnhardt Jr.
- Kurt Busch
- Ryan Newman
- Aric Almirola
- Jamie McMurray
- Juan Pablo Montoya
- Jeff Burton
- Paul Menard
- Mark Martin
- Marcos Ambrose
- Bobby Labonte
Group B will offer fantasy players some top talent this week.
If Jimmie Johnson is the favorite to win the race, Kyle Busch should be the co-favorite. Busch dominated the last race at Texas and finished third in this race last year. If you have any starts left with him, this is the week to use it.
Martin Truex Jr. is historically good at the 1.5-mile race tracks. He had a great car in the spring race and should have the same setup this week. This would be a good time to use Truex and save a start with a top driver from this group.
My sleeper pick in Group B is Aric Almirola. He started third and finished seventh in the April race at Texas. He could be a surprise top-10 finisher this week.
Below are my rankings for Group B. The top 10 drivers on this list are all good choices this week.
Group C
- Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
- Elliott Sadler
- Austin Dillon
- Trevor Bayne
- Kyle Larson
- David Ragan
- Casey Mears
- Danica Patrick
- Cole Whitt
- David Reutimann
Fantasy NASCAR players always try to save their best drivers in Group C so they will have them at the end of the season. There is no need to save drivers from this group. Drivers who are auditioning for open spots next season always appear in Group C in the final races. That is the case this week.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is still the best choice from this group, but most fantasy teams already used their nine starts with Stenhouse. If you have any starts left with Stenhouse, it would be wise to use him this week.
Elliott Sadler will continue to drive the No. 55 car for Brian Vickers. Last week, Sadler qualified in the back, but was able to finish in the top 25.
Austin Dillon will be back in the No. 33 car. He has competed in 10 races this season in the Sprint Cup Series. His average finishing position is 23rd. Most fantasy teams would take a 23rd place finish from their Group C driver.
Trevor Bayne will drive the No. 21 car for the Wood Brothers this week. Bayne also competed in 10 races this season with an average finishing position of 25th.
Below are my rankings for Group C. The top five drivers on this list are all good choices this week.

Wake Forest, NC (PRWEB) March 9, 2010
The Infrex Plus Unit from MedFaxx, when used on Interferential Mode, is reducing the severity, duration and frequency of pain for many patients. It appears, from the chronic pain population, that the body's immune system is learning to stop the chronic pain impulses.
How Interferential Therapy Provides Carryover Pain Relief
Since the introduction of the Infrex Plus combination Tens/Interferential unit, January 2009, chronic pain patients report that their experience has been they can self treat as needed, and go for longer and longer time periods, pain free. Those results from interferential treatment mode are what is called "carryover" or "residual" pain relief.
Researchers think there are basically several biological reasons why this new phenomenon occurs -
1. Ability to treat when pain present, and as often as needed, for as long as needed
2. Prevention of re-occurrence of the "pain cycle" by self treatment options.
3. Ability of the immune system to be taught to stop chronic pain by repeated treatments
4. Immune system response is altering "pain causing cells" permanently.
Researchers and patients have tried to understand how this phenomena is occurring and more importantly, why. This is an unexplored area due to the only recent ability to self treat with a portable device rather than going to a clinic or hospital. The electrical output is higher with the Infrex Plus than pre-existing type interferential units and the unit is premodulated.
Doctors and Physical Therapists have to guess at what is going on. They look at how cells live. Research has shown that anytime electricity is introduced into the body that chemical changes will occur. With chronic pain patients there is an underlying physiological change occurring that may explain why the pain is diminishing or disappearing, and progressively, for longer time periods.
Each cell carries a specific electromagnetic field giving rise to bio electric currents and frequencies in all biological materials. There is little distinction between the type of cells such as neural, soft tissue, brain etc. as the basic functions of replication are practically identical. Cell division is universal.
An electric voltage is part of all functions in living tissue. It arises primarily at the cellular walls and gives rise to electric currents. Nothing new here as has been known for a long time in medicine. Movement of electrons along a DC ( direct current which simply means a constant positive or negative charge ) field is being used in e.g. iontophoresis and electrophoresis. Cell membranes contain ion channels. They carry a negative charge at the outside of the cell membrane and show selectivity for kations, particularly for sodium and potassium ions. Part of these ion channels open only after adequate change of the membrane potential. Basically cell membranes are protective covers that constrain the inside within the cell wall/membrane. Charges, whether negative or positive, allow different chemicals to go from outside a cell wall to inside the cell wall. This is a chemical reaction.
To pictorially see this think of a tennis ball that is slightly too large to penetrate through the holes on a sphere. If you apply minimal pressure on the tennis ball then that pressure squeezes it momentarily and it becomes small enough, elongated, to be driven through the hole and into the sphere. The electrical charge is the "driving force" that powers the tennis ball through the hole on the sphere.
Cell life depends on the nutritional input and adequate excretion of metabolic end products. Both pathways use the ion channels. Humans consume, and then excrete, through specific pathways as do cells.
In chronic pain there exists an "altered cellular state" that has been providing a pain stimulus, an unnatural occurrence.
It may very well be that the altered sick state of multiple cells is being permanently changed to prevent the recurrence of pain with interferential therapy being provided when the painful state returns. In other medical fields our immune system can be taught to stop bad bacteria, viruses etc. by treating the affected area as soon as possible. The process in dermatology of "freezing an unwanted wart", caused due to a virus, also teaches the immune system to attack and kill the virus. The same phenomena could be occurring now with chronic pain patients and the body is learning through repeated, as needed stimulation that the pain impulse is an unnatural process. Repeated treatments are teaching the immune system to stop the pain impulses unless provoked by a new injury.
The use of interferential therapy, when pain returns, is teaching our body that "pain" is an unnatural state. The preliminary results are very promising for chronic pain patients and by using natural electrical energy via the interferential mode of the Infrex Plus there is hope chronic pain can be cured without the use of mind altering drug treatments.

If you have a popular blog, you might have experienced a number of attempts to stop the hackers from invading your account and spoiling everything that has taken you a lot of time to build. However, your power, knowledge and sometimes your skills may not be enough to achieve this goal comprehensively.
In this case, you need someone you can rely on for security of your site or an application that works just right. Sucuri is one plugin that comes handy in this regard. Read the Sucuri review below and know why you need it.
What is Sucuri?
Sucuri is a security WordPress plugin. It is a common way used by many WordPress site owners to fix common issues related to security, such as restricting access to your WP_content, hiding the WordPress version and restricting WP_includes among others.
If your blog has already been hacked, this plugin comes handy in locating modified files, updating wp-config files, removing outdated add-ons from your blog and many more.
The process of using it is simply. Install the plugin from your WordPress dashboard. Activate the plugin and check all settings from the Sucuri Scanner found under Sucuri Free.
Highlights and Features of Sucuri
Integrity Monitoring
Sucuri transcends the free scanner that frequently checks the site after three hours for malware, and even presents blacklist alarming. This practice ensures that your site is free from malicious JavaScripts, malwares, malicious iFrames, spammy links and suspicious redirections.
With Integrity Monitor, your site will not be blacklisted by popular sites or search engines like Google, AVG, Norton, Opera and Phishtank among others. This keeps your site popular, and your visitors will not receive warnings like "Something is Wrong Here".
Scanning of the Server Side
The free website scanner cannot detect smart hackers who use the backdoor to switch their affiliate links with yours and earn money from your revenue. They can add the banner ads which you do not know about and even infect users with malwares.
The server side scanning that is available for the paid users scans the server to ensure that there are no files harbored on the server that could be a threat to your security. Events like file changes are audited, and you will be notified of them. It only takes one PHP file uploaded and you are done.
Audit Log Plugin for WordPress
The Audit Log WordPress Plugin tracks all the activities that happen in your WordPress site including file changes, post additions and many more. It is a great plugin for both beginners and advanced bloggers.
Hackers may use WordPress file names to conceal their malicious files. The malicious files will thus sit on your wp-includes folder without you realizing its effect. To this end, Sucuri will notify you immediately of the malicious file. The plugin can also check the wp-config.php that is a favorite destination for hackers' malware.
Click Hardening
You may have read lots of security related posts on many blogs, but some of the security issues are not talked. With Sucuri, you will can fix most of these issues on your WordPress site.
You can secure your uploading directory which is another place that hackers hide something harmful. The uploading folder is organized by dates, and most people do not often check it making it a good destination for hackers to place their malicious files.
With the hardening service, however, you can protect the uploads directory, wp-includes, wp-content and others. You can also stay void of the readme.html files and many more.
The feature also includes a web firewall to block spammers by blacklisting their IP addresses.
This is one of the features that Sucuri offers the most rewards. You can configure the email, twitter, SMS, RSS, and IM alerts as you wish or find convenient. This gives you the best information effectively about a hacking activity, enabling you to fix it immediately.
Besides the blacklist and malware monitoring, the plugin also looks at WhoIs and DNS changes. If domain names are stolen from webmaster, you will get instant alerts.
Malware Cleanup
Malware cleanup and blacklist removal are two features that make this security tool powerful. Though the service may be expensive, you can imagine how great it would be to have security experts working on your site to clean bad things up.
If your site unfortunately gets hacked, Sucuri will clean it up, and you do not have to deal with Google blacklisting. However, if you get blacklisted, this service will help you remove the blacklist.
Cleanup may be charged as high as $250, but it is safe to get a monthly or yearly plan that goes for about $3 and $190 respectively.

Rolling Skis as a Personal Mobility Device
Photo: Robonable
This is Nissan's prototype for a personal mobility device. Just step on to the footpads and lean in the direction that you want to go:
The device has two foot boards, both of which are balanced on two wheels. The device's tilt sensors detect when you shift your weight to turn, traveling at a maximum rate of about 5kph. The foot boards have handle bars attached to help you maintain balance, and can be connected in a variety of positions or separated.
When separated, the device only moves forwards and backwards. To turn, you simply lift and turn your leg as if you were wearing stilts. The overall effect is one of ski-less skis.

6 comments
Ohh interesting!!! Thanks for reviewing - I wondered about the movie!ReplyDeleteReplies
My pleasure, Kara. Hope you enjoy if/when you see this one! Have you seen the prior films in the series? :)Delete
I was on the excited side at the idea of another Bourne, but I think this film completely wasted any potential his return had. It doesn't live up to the standard, and didn't impress me at all... even though it's not terrible. I'm glad you enjoyed it a bit more. Nice review! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I did enjoy it, Sarah, but I'll confess this could be my overall "deep" fangirl affection for the series. Sorry you didn't end up liking it (that's never fun!). Many thanks to you for stopping by to share and read the review - I appreciate it. :)Delete
Your review is spot on, like always, Rissi! I felt much the same, though I still loved it. I was just happy to see these characters back! My dad was super disappointed though, which I also get. Great review! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I loved it too, Bekah - who doesn't love getting to know more about Jason Bourne!? He's awesome. Like you, just the fact that we got to "see" these characters again is fabulous. Plus that ending!? Epic. :)Delete
Have a thought? Don't be shy, go ahead and leave one... or two... or three! I reply to every comment. If you're new to the blog, please don't hesitate to introduce yourself and your blog - we love chatting around here!
Feedback and every comment is appreciated and read - I always leave a response; your opinions are respected and I ask that you show mine the same courtesy.

My dear McLean
Herewith I send you a copy of a mem. of the Auditor which will show you how matters stand with respect to your expenditure at Hawke's Bay. I did not like to worry you when in so weak a state of health as at the time this was written or should have referred the paper to you, and since that time I have been expecting your return by almost every opportunity. We have written to Cooper calling for detailed information on the subject -- and by the last mail he sent up a tracing showing the position of the blocks recently purchased by you and under negotiation -- The N. Ruataniwha is however the only one which appears to be complete or to have been surveyed -- At the same time he writes up to say that in the present state of land purchasing operations Mr. Locke's services are no longer required -- A committee of the Provincial Council has also summoned M. FitzGerald to be examined with reference to the conduct of surveys by him while engaged by the Genl.Govt. in connection with the Land Purchase Dept. and from his answers to the questions put it would appear that he has done little or nothing -- I can only make out that the reserves in the N. Ruataniwha have been marked off -- and he states that there are at present no surveys under his direction in an incomplete state. It would seem that none of the lands upon which moneys were paid by you have been surveyed or can be surveyed at present Cooper's report has not yet been sent, it will no doubt throw some light upon the matter meanwhile the Ahuriri people are dissatisfied -- The Superintendent writes to the Govr. protesting against the removal of the troops -- in consequence of some rumor to the effect that this was intended -- and states that the natives are snowing a disposition to repudiate former sales of land -- citing two cases, neither of which have been reported to us -- I will not spin a long yarn now, still expecting to see you by next steamer, Rogan will have given you all particulars about the Governor's visit to Taranaki -- with reference to W. Kings interruption of the survey of Te Teira's land.
Your little boy was quite well when I last saw him he is with the Kingdon's at St. John's College -- Mr. Kingdon having given up his house at Remuera -- He is growing a fine boy and is very gentle and well behaved -- he spent a few days with us at Onehunga a short time since We are going on tolerably well at the office -
Hoping soon to see you and that your health is fully restored -- believe me
Dr. McLean, in haste
faithfully yours
Thos. H. Smith

Park Bo Gum confirms his next drama role with Kim Ji Won as possible female lead
Well, it certainly didn't take long after Answer Me 1988 for drama casting agents to snatch up Park Bo Gum! After he turned down an offer to costar with Ji Sung in Entertainers, the rising star quickly chose another project, accepting the lead in fusion historical Moonlight Drawn by Clouds. Not long after he confirmed, Kim Ji Won's name was released as his potential costar.
Moonlight Drawn by Clouds is based on a web novel, and it tells the story of a young woman in 19th century Joseon (Kim Ji Won, if she accepts) who has to hide her identity because her father is a traitor. She poses as a man and cleverly makes a living as a love expert who gives advice on how to win women's hearts. She eventually becomes a eunuch in the palace, where she causes a ruckus with her romantic advice.
Park Bo Gum will play Crown Prince Hyomyeong, a brilliant prince and heir to the throne. He befriends the eunuch, not knowing that she's really a woman. Of course, in true K-drama fashion, there's a second male lead in this love story, famed poet-scholar Kim Sat Gat. There's no news yet on who is up for the poet role.
This news comes as the latest in a string of casting offers for the young cast of Answer Me 1988, as Hyeri is considering the female lead in Entertainers (which would have paired her up with Park Bo Gum again if he accepted), Lee Dong Hwi is considering a supporting role in the Korean Entourage remake, and Ryu Joon Yul will join Jo In Sung in the film The King. Now all we need is a role for Go Kyung Pyo and we'll have the full set!
If Kim Ji Won accepts, she would also be doing back-to-back dramas, as she plays the second female lead in currently airing Descendants of the Sun. Wouldn't it be nice to see her back in a leading role for once?
Moonlight Drawn by Clouds comes from the writer-director team behind School 2015, and it will likely air on KBS this summer.
What do you think about this casting news? Are you thrilled to hear that Park Bo Gum is trying his hand at a sageuk? Do you hope Kim Ji Won accepts? Share all of your thoughts in the comments!

Two former clients of a $1.2 billion ex-Merrill Lynch advisor claim he made unauthorized trades and charged them exorbitant fees.
An attorney for the clients says Thomas Buck allegedly engaged in unauthorized trading of bonds and reaped excessive commissions.
"People thought they were paying lower commissions, but it was pretty excessive -- almost double what they were supposed to be paying," says Indianapolis-based attorney Mark E. Maddox. "We really don't know what sort of losses were suffered."
Buck, who found himself dismissed from Merrill last month, through his lawyer disputes the reasons for his termination, which include mismarking bond cross-trade order tickets as unsolicited, according to his Form U5 filed with FINRA.
Additionally, the U5 notes Buck was terminated for "conduct including failing to discuss service level and pricing alternatives with a customer, providing inaccurate information to firm management during account reviews regarding this issue … and providing information to a client during an active account review that did not correspond to the firm's records, resulting in management's loss of confidence."
The allegations demonstrate how a billion-dollar producer could also be a liability, and even a hint of advisor impropriety will make a firm nervous, say several securities law experts.
"Once a firm puts you under a microscope, if you start to accumulate minor infractions, the firm might then start to conclude, if there's smoke, there's fire," says Marc Dobin, a Jupiter, Fla.-based securities mediator who also represents brokers in regulatory matters. "Even though that may not be the case, once the firm makes up its mind, you're an at-will employee. Boom! You're done."
Merrill Lynch spokesman Bill Haldin declined to comment on Buck's termination or the client allegations.
Englewood, N.J.-based attorney Brian Hamburger characterized the reasons for termination listed in the U5 against his client as minor.
"None of the actions that comprised the bulk of the U5 that Merrill Lynch relied upon are hardly actions anyone could watch out for," Hamburger says. "Any producer doing any substantial volume of work would find themselves in a vulnerable position, given the standard that Tom Buck's termination establishes."
Dobin agreed with Hamburger's assessment, except for the last claim lodged by Merrill. "An active account review is a serious thing," he says. "It's a good way to learn if the client knows what's going on in their account, and that the broker is doing everything right."
However, New York securities attorney Adam Gana says that all of the reasons stated in Buck's U5 -- particularly regarding information about trades -- were reasons enough for termination.
"That is exactly the thing that can get someone terminated," Gana says. "If the firm found any kind of impropriety, absent any contract stating otherwise, they can terminate him. There could have been underlying issues also with Buck at Merrill that caused the termination beyond what was stated in the U5. As an at-will employee, Merrill, absent a contractual obligation, can fire them whenever they like."
"In my reading, Merrill is suggesting that there may have been some unsuitable trades in some of the broker's accounts and that he misreported information to supervisors, which could be a problem," Gana says. "There could be potential exposure to liability here. The firm is ultimately on the hook for an advisor's conduct. If he's a billion dollar producer, they could be on the hook for a lot of money."
Attorney Ross Intelisano of Rich Intelisano & Katz in New York found Buck's U5 to be unusual because of the degree of detail it has. It left Merrill open to customer claims, he says.
"This is the fruit of some very large dispute between broker and firm," he says. "The firm is actually admitting the broker's bad acts," he adds.
Recruiter Danny Sarch, president of Leitner Sarch Consultants, notes that the U5 language twice mentions that Buck did not provide accurate information to Merrill prior to any known customer allegations.
"I see firms are being proactive," says Sarch. "Whether they must protect the firm's reputation even at expense of somebody's career and in the absence of customer complaints."
Prior to his departure from Merrill, Buck only had one client complaint alleging excessive fees and unauthorized purchase of a security listed on his BrokerCheck record. The complaint was settled for $75,000 in 2006.
Buck had been at Merrill since 1982, according to FINRA records. Barron's ranked him among its top 100 financial advisors last year, listing his total AUM at about $1.2 billion.
His daughter Ann has been a financial advisor with him since 2009, according to FINRA. She also has been a cheerleader with the Indianapolis Colts for three years, according to the team's website. She left the firm voluntarily.
Hamburger says brokers should consider how much value they place upon the concept of loyalty when brought into a meeting with management, firm attorneys and confronted with a firm's claims.
"Brokers need to know -- it doesn't matter who they think they are -- when they find themselves in a meeting with management above branch level, and legal counsel is present, they should politely dismiss themselves and obtain counsel. Nothing good comes out of these meetings."
"Their inclination is they want to help, so they participate," he adds. "When the light is shone on them, their next inclination is to defend themselves, because they can't believe they are being characterized in that manner, but by then it is too late. The firm can take comments made in those meetings and extract what it needs to shine a different light on them.
"My opinion of these interviews is that it's an interrogation designed to collect information to support a position already established. The firm already has made the decision to terminate, and they need data to substantiate the decision."
Hamburger dismissed as naïve the notion that firms were taking a no-tolerance policy toward even the smallest regulatory infractions. He suggests firms have a different motivation to conduct such inquiries: saving millions in deferred compensation costs and being able to redistribute the large books of clients built up in a veteran practice.
"When you have firms under such a high degree of scrutiny from shareholders and regulators, they don't have the luxury of making good, long-term decisions," Hamburger says. "They are making decisions for the short term, and that's not a position where they are making decisions for clients or those who work there, but for shareholders and regulators."
"It's also a great way to redistribute a book among folks that are coming out of banks who do not necessarily have the same skills to capture their own business," he adds. --With reporting from Andrew Welsch.

Tim Bishop is a scoundrel. Just ask Karl Rove.
A new ad by Rove's super PAC, Crossroads GPS, is trying to frame the five-term Long Island congressman as a paragon of corruption, highlighting a recent episode in which Bishop's staff solicited a campaign contribution from a constituent who had asked for the congressman's help in securing a fireworks permit.
The constituent, Eric Semler, wanted to throw a pyrotechnic bar mitzvah bash for his son, and Bishop agreed to step in on his behalf. But before the permits came through, Bishop's staff held out a palm to Semler, who ultimately donated $5,000 to the congressman, according to a report by Politico.
As Rove's ad put it, "When a constituent reached out for help, Bishop's campaign reached out in turn ..." (dramatic pause) "... for cash." The ad concludes that Bishop embodies "everything wrong with Washington."
That's right. Karl Rove is standing up for the values that American politics are so sorely lacking -- honesty, fairness, financial probity. The Bishop ad represents just one of several recent attempts by Crossroads GPS to paint Democratic candidates with the brush of corruption, an effort that strikes some observers as ironic.
"Karl Rove is the king of corruption and of the influence of money in politics," said Matt Canter, a spokesman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. "It's certainly the height of hypocrisy, but I think they're desperate."
As top adviser to former President George W. Bush, Rove helped big-business lobbyists gain influence in Washington. More recently, his organization American Crossroads and its super PAC spinoff, Crossroads GPS, have steered hundreds of millions of dollars to Republican pro-business candidates. "Irony doesn't begin to touch the notion that a super PAC that doesn't disclose its donors can throw mud at anyone about corruption," said Robert Peirce, a spokesman for Bishop's campaign. "That said, I understand Karl Rove is in a tough spot."
Indeed, despite the millions that Rove's group has shelled out, polls across the country show Democratic candidates gaining ground on Republican rivals, and there's little evidence these new super PAC ads have done much to slow the trend. Rove and his cohorts have been effective at "squeezing this cash out of billionaires," said Canter. "But when it comes to spending, it it may have been smarter to just flush it down the toilet."
Along with Bishop, the targets of the group's ethics attacks include John Tester, the Montana Democratic senator, and Shelley Berkley, a Democratic congresswoman running for Senate in Nevada. One ad calls Tester a "top recipient of campaign cash, from big banks and credit card companies." In response, Tester's campaign noted that Tester signed onto a bill that would ban former legislators from becoming lobbyists after leaving Congress, and cited a Los Angeles Times article that pointedly described Crossroads' backers as "a small cadre of secret donors."
Asked to respond to the charges of ineffectiveness and hypocrisy, Nate Hodson, a spokesman for Crossroads GPS, said simply, "These ads show how these liberal Democrats have used their elected positions to help themselves instead of create jobs."

They Poured Fire On Us From the Sky is Alephonsion, Benjamin and Benson's account of an unimaginable journey from war. With the candor and purity of their child's-eye-vision, the three boys recall by turns how they endured hunger and strength-sapping illnesses – dysentery, malaria and yellow fever. How they dodged the life-threatening predators – lions, snakes, crocodiles and soldiers alike – that dogged their footsteps. How they grappled with a war that threatened continually to overwhelm them.
Their story also shares glimpses of the tiny joys that kept them going: the dear friends they made – and sometimes lost – along the way. They Poured Fire On Us From the Sky is a lyrical, captivating portrait of a childhood hurled into wartime and how three very young boys had the good fortune and belief in themselves to survive.
Washington Post
"The result is one of the most riveting stories ever told of African childhoods -- and a stirring tale of courage."

Don't confuse architectural photography with Architectural Photography. The formal kind is a highly specialized art with complex rules and guidelines and the intent of producing immaculate shots fit to grace the covers of Architectural Digest or House Beautiful. Professional practitioners of the serious variety work for clients that include architectural firms, city planners, housing developers, or designers. They work with medium- or large-format cameras with sophisticated swings and tilts that can bring all the converging lines of a typical building into their proper perspective. Although it's hard work, Architectural Photography is rewarding.
The kind of architectural photography you and I might do can be equally rewarding, if a little less stress-filled and requiring less in the way of specialized equipment. The digital camera you already have is easily capable of capturing some great pictures of architecture if you learn the ropes and know a few tricks. That's what I'll be providing you in this chapter.
