Chris says he'll stop seeing Karrueche romantically and is promising to 'do right' by Rihanna this time around because he's in love with her. Aww, he's growing up. Keep reading for the exclusive details!
It's a new year and with that comes new changes and Chris Brown's doing just that. The slim and trim Wilhelmina model is vowing to "do right" by Rihanna and refrain from romantically seeing his ex-lover Karrueche Tran, HollywoodLife.com is EXCLUSIVELY reporting.
Karrueche Tran & Chris Brown Break Up Over Rihanna
"He's curled up with Ri and he been with her this whole time this month and he's dedicated to her," our well-informed source exclusively reveals to HollywoodLife.com. "He's trying to do the right thing with her and want to be right by her too.
"He's just trying to be a good man this year and so far he's doing that."
Our source also reveals that while Chris has no hard feelings toward Karrueche, he's just extremely focused on Rihanna!
"Karrueche was always good people to him and treated his a** like a king 24-7, but he's on Rihanna hard right now so I guess K.T. realizes that and she's falling back."
As HollywoodLife.com previously reported on Jan. 3, now that Rihanna has dug her paws deep into Chris, she's not letting him go and plans to spend every single day in January with him to bring in her New Year!
"Rihanna wants to spend everyday in January with him in 2013 because she thinks that will cement their relationship," a source close to the music couple exclusively tells HollywoodLife.com. "She be on that whole sentimental stuff all the time."
And it appears RiRi is following her plans perfectly, because on Jan. 1, the couple started out their new year together — in bed!
The lovers both posted photos of themselves in bed on New Year's Day, and by the looks of the sheets, they were definitely together. Plus, Rihanna said they didn't sleep!
Sound off, HollywoodLifers. Do you think Chris will be faithful to our girl Rihanna this time around?

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Brandon Prust returns but fellow forward Dale Weise is out and defenceman Alexei Emelin is a game-time decision for the Montreal Canadiens.
The Rangers are without suspended defenceman John Moore, with ex-Hab Raphael Diaz expected to play in his place in the third defensive pairing.
Both teams had lineup issues ahead of Game 6 of the Eastern Conference final.
A win and the Rangers can advance to the Stanley Cup final for the first time in 20 years. A loss and New York has to go back to the Bell Centre for a deciding game.
Montreal coach Michel Therrien confirmed after Thursday's morning skate that Weise, flattened by the hit that earned Moore a two-game suspension, would not play. Emelin, who missed Game 5 with an undisclosed injury, did not take part in the morning skate either but was seen on an exercise bike outside the locker-room.
Prust returns from his two-game suspension for breaking Derek Stepan's jaw with a blindside hit in Game 3.
"He's going to be hungry to play," said Therrien. "He's going to play hard. He's excited about playing tonight so we're glad he's back in the lineup."
Weise seemed woozy after the Moore hit Tuesday in Game 5 but returned to action after spending time in the dressing room.
On Thursday, Therrien denied that Weise had a head injury.
Therrien said Weise, who plays in the Habs' third line, told doctors he "felt fine" about finishing the last game. The Montreal coach said player safety is Job 1, but noted that Stepan finished Game 3 with what turned out to be a broken jaw.
"Those are the things that you see at this time of the year," he said. "Right now (Weise) has a body injury so he won't be able to lay tonight."
Asked what specific tests an injured player like Weise has to pass to get back into the game, Therrien essentially said that was up to the team doctors.
"Those are the things I that don't know, because as a coach I never get a concussion," said a smiling Therrien. "But one thing I trust, we trust our medical staff, we trust the doctor. So when they're saying he's good to go. he's good to go."
The Habs are 22-7-4 with Weise in the lineup and 5-4-0 without him.
Goalie Carey Price, knocked out of the series in Game 1, came onto the ice in full gear near the end of the Canadiens skate. He did the same thing earlier this week in Montreal.
Dustin Tokarski, the 24-year-old who has stepped in for Price, did not speak to reporters Thursday. Rangers starter Henrik Lundqvist, given the hook last time out, drew a crowd in front of his stall.
With the Rangers looking to close out the series, the music wafting out of the New York locker-room area earlier at Madison Square Garden was appropriate—"Closing Time" by Semisonic.
"No Canada" was the headline on the back page of the New York Daily News. The kicker read "Rangers: We can't let series go back to Montreal."
The New York Post headline was "Code Blue."
Much has been said about the need to get a good start in the series, with Therrien acknowledging the first 10 minutes of the game are always crucial. "But I'm going to tell you something, the whole entire 60 minutes are going to be really important," he said with a smile.
Vigneault, whose exchange with the English media lasted three and a half minutes, offered no reaction to the league banning Moore for two games. He also did not want to speak about the 7-4 loss in Game 5 in Montreal, saying "We've moved on."
The Rangers coach did say he expected a big game from Lundqvist, who was pulled in the second period last time out after giving up four goals on 19 shots.
"I expect him to play like he always does. He's a great goaltender."
Said Rangers forward Rick Nash: "He's a world-class goalie. He's been our best player all season, all the playoffs."
Therrien's pre-game meeting with the media was equally pithy, lasting just under eight minutes in English and French.

Hey, nice to meet you!
You probably want to get some information about me, aren't you? Well, I'm on the forums also (you need to be logged in to see the profile].
However, some facts about me. I'm a young father (early Twenty) of a beautiful little girl (I know, most parents tell this about their own children, but our's is really beautiful ;-)). I'm from Germany, so I consider myself responsible for the German part of this wiki.
At the moment, I'm studying mathematics at an university, but I'm going to finish my Bachelor grade in March 2013. Not sure, what I'll do next. Maybe a career changer in software development.
Speaking of coding ... I prefer Python as my programming language. Next to it I know some C/C++, MatLab, Maple, R, Magma and Bash. It fits for most issues I have ;-) Beside I want to learn more about HTML(5)/JavaScript(6) and CSS(3).
If you got some question, please edit my Talk page. Thanks.

In this example, GOOG dropped $60 upon the next day's earnings announcement. As such, the trade was able to attain maximum profit. This is shown in the image below:
Note that because of the large move, both puts are now so deep in-the-money that the greeks all are fairly close to zero. At this point, all that is left to do is to close the trade out and take your profit. However, a popular alternative to exiting the trade would be to buy the 740 call trading for about 15¢. This purchase would lock in the same profit less the 15¢ while leaving room for unlimited upside, should the stock make a significant rally the following day. This can lead to significant low-risk profits because reactions to earnings announcements, both positive and negative, often are overdone and there may be some retracement the following day.
Because the volatility and time decay risks are significantly minimized, you can trade at-the-money vertical spreads using weekly options. In fact, you can trade them even on earnings day, just before the announcement. So long as the stock sits in between the strikes, the position typically does not hurt you much.
That said, this trade still has directional risk, and picking stock direction is not easy, so be sure to consider your risk level wisely. The maximum risk is going to be about half the difference between the strikes, so the wider you go, the more you'll risk. Note that because we chose the 770 and 740 strikes for our put spread example, we risked about $15 to make $15.

Chicago native Danny Pudi and "Community" fans got a big surprise Friday during a flurry of news about what we'll be watching on the TV networks this fall. The beleaguered NBC sitcom has been renewed for fifth season.
"Wild times and I truly didn't know what to expect. But that's always been our show--we never know what to expect," Pudi wrote in an email. "Gotta thank the fans [and] my mom … for cheering on the Greendale gang. GO BULLS!"
Did I mention Pudi's from Chicago? The city's film and TV industry also received good news Friday: At least five shows set to air during the 2013-14 season will be filmed in Chicago, the Tribune reports.
NBC's "Chicago Fire" will be back, and with it a police-themed spin-off series called "Chicago PD." NBC also picked up the new midseason series "Crisis," a political thriller starring Dermot Mulroney and Gillian Anderson.
ABC picked up two Chicago-filmed pilots. "Betrayal" stars James Cromwell and Hannah Ware, who already knows Chicago after filming two seasons of "Boss" here. She plays a woman who has an affair with the lawyer squaring off against her husband in court. "Mind Games," which was called "Influence" when the pilot filmed here in the spring, stars Steve Zahn and Christian Slater as brothers who run an agency that uses psychological manipulation to solve clients' problems.
ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and the CW will make their official announcements during their upfront presentations this week, but here's a list of shows that have been renewed or canceled so far, and the pilots that have been picked up to become series.

Learn more and get your questions answered in a no-cost kidney education class.
What do actor George Lopez and NBA champion Alonzo Mourning have in common? Besides being extremely talented in what they do for a living, each of them has received a transplanted kidney. Success stories like these, along with advances in medications, surgery techniques and donor matching, make kidney transplant a viable alternative to dialysis for thousands of people every year. For more information about dialysis patients transitioning to a kidney transplant, go here.
If you're nearing the need for dialysis and would like to explore getting a transplant, start the discussion with your nephrologist. Your doctor will discuss the transplant process with you, which generally starts with being referred to a transplant center for further evaluation. While transplant requirements vary between centers, you'll most likely undergo comprehensive medical tests to determine if you're a viable candidate. If you are, then the search for a donor can begin.
There are two types of organ donors: a living donor and a non-living, or cadaver, donor. Compatibility between a patient and the donor reduces the chances of organ rejection and can contribute to a more successful transplant. Additionally, because medication to help prevent organ rejection is so effective, donors don't always have to be genetically similar to the recipient.
If you don't have a potential living donor, you will be placed on the waiting list for a cadaver organ and will need to register for the national transplant waiting list at United Network of Organ Sharing (UNOS). The wait for a transplant can vary greatly depending on the type of donation you receive, your geographic location and current health.
Know someone who would like to donate a kidney? Visit the National Kidney Registry to start the progress.
You'll be scheduled for surgery as soon as an appropriate organ match has been identified. In most cases, your surgeon will leave your kidneys in place and simply place the new, healthy kidney in a different location in your abdomen. You will remain in the hospital for several days after the surgery and be monitored for any complications.
While your age and health conditions prior to the transplant surgery can affect the risk of complications, there are three common post-transplant concerns.
Rejection: Medication will be prescribed to help ensure your body accepts the new kidney.
Functionality: In some cases, the newly transplanted kidney begins working right away, while in others it may require dialysis for a few days before it starts functioning normally.
Organ lifespan: The average life span for a donated kidney is 10 to 15 years. When a transplant fails, a patient may opt for a second transplant or return to dialysis.
Maintaining healthy habits and following your doctors' recommendations is vital to help your new kidney function properly so you can have a better quality of life for years to come. Get more details about this alternative to dialysis.
Actor George Lopez and NBA champion Alonzo Mourning are extremely talented in what they do for a living. They also each had kidney disease, and in order to help themselves continue down a successful path, they have each received a transplanted kidney.

NEW YORK (AP) — Encouraging reports on home prices and orders for manufactured goods are sending stock prices higher in early trading on Wall Street.
Homebuilder stocks rose sharply after home prices rose sharply in April and Lennar reported better earnings than the market was expecting.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 94 points, or 0.7 percent, to 14,753 after the first 10 minutes of trading. The Dow slumped 139 points the day before.
The Standard & Poor's 500 was up 13 points, or 0.9 percent, at 1,586. Banks rose the most of the 10 industry sectors in the index.
The Nasdaq composite was up 35 points, or 1.1 percent, at 3,356.
Orders for durable goods rose 3.6 percent last month, matching April's gain. The increase was more than economists had expected.

With weak economic data out of Europe and China, this month's dismal jobs number and the selloff in commodities foreshadowing a slowdown in the global growth story, many traders believe the long awaited correction is finally upon us. E-mini S&P 500 futures traded at a high of 1593 last week and have backed off of that level by nearly 45 points. As we enter the heart of earnings season, results thus far have been mixed. It is clear now that the market is at a critical level. Either earnings will be strong enough to send us a leg higher, or growth concerns will send investors head for the exits.
So what can a trader do to protect themselves in a market this volatile? Unfortunately the violent moves over the past few days have brought about a spike in volatility. This means that short term downside protection is more expensive than it was when the market was at the height of the rally. That being said, many investors need this downside protection as concerns over the European debt crisis and growth in China are still very present.
So a trader still needs this protection, but wants to lower its cost in an inflated volatility environment. The answer is the vertical put spread. The trader will buy an out of the money put while simultaneously selling a farther out of the money put. This caps the potential profit on the trade, but greatly reduces the trader's initial premium outlay.
So what are the different instruments a trader can use?
- SPX options. These options track spot S&P 500 so they wouldn't be the most effective hedge for a futures trader.
- The ETF. SPY tracks the index very well, but again this is not the most effective hedge on a futures position.
- E-mini S&P 500 Futures and Options. This gives a trader the best opportunity to set up a great risk versus reward trade while tracking the performance of the index very well. This is also one of the most liquid futures markets.
With ES futures trading around 1540 we can look at the May end of month (EOM) 1540 straddle to calculate a potential downside target. With the straddle trading around 62.50 we get a downside target of 1477.5. We can now use this target to set up a trade.
Trade: Buying the May EOM ES 1500-1480 Put Spread for 4.25
Risk: $212.50
Reward: $787.5
Breakeven: 1495.75
This trade sets up a great risk vs. reward ratio that a trader can use as either a hedge or a speculation play if they believe the market will be heading lower.

Product Description
The Handi-Measure™ attaches with an adjustable strap design and fits all net handles. Its retractable soft tape safely measures fish up to 36 inches (90 centimeters) and is 100% freshwater rust proof. The tape measure also swivels for off-net use so that the angler can measure another angler's fish. The Handi-Measure™ will enable the angler to measure fish safely without removing them from the water. Fish can be measured by cradling them underneath the net while they are submerged, thus reducing stress and handling. Fish that are longer than the landing net can also be measured in the same manner. With the measure anchored to the net handle, measuring a fish can be accomplished by the solo angler without the need for assistance. With the measure conveniently stored on the net handle, it eliminates the need to carry a measuring device in already crowded vest pockets. Made in USA.

The North Campus Subcommittee (NCS) is responsible for making recommendations to the MPC about planning and approval of all uses on lands within the boundaries of the North Campus and detailed in the UAF Campus Master Plan. Any proposals involving this area shall be brought first to the MPC Chair, who may then delegate to the NCS tasks of gathering information, developing detailed plans, and/or making recommendations.
The North Campus area of the University of Alaska Fairbanks is a unique and valuable resource for the University. The North Campus consists of approximately 1,100 acres of valuable research, education, and recreation opportunities for UAF faculty, staff and students, visiting educators and scientists, and community members. The North Campus is defined as the area north-to-northwest of UAF's main campus and bounded by Miller Hill Road on the west, Yankovich Road on the north (south of the private property boundary when applicable), Ballaine Road and Farmers Loop Road on the east, and on the south by the main campus and the Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station Experiment Farm In 2002 UAF began developing a land use management plan that would address the campus needs in years ahead. The Plan was adopted in summer of 2004 and since then many of the initial action items have been implemented. With both a land manager and a standing committee review process, the important NC value statements has lead to continued multiple use of this great campus area. Then in June 2006 the UAF Chancellor expanded winter trail opportunities by approving a system of new "Winter Walking and Snowshoe Trails" that are groomed paths physically separated from the existing ski trails. There are trail crossings required that are well marked to allow walkers and skiers to be aware of each other approaching. These new winter uses also allowed the NC committee to include additional trail designations for ski only trails, winter dog walking and limited winter bike routes. While many campus and community members take advantage of this great recreational resource, the multiple winter uses in North Campus are guided by respecting the designated uses that occur in the area. ENJOY THE TRAILS!

Has anyone else noticed that we haven't even gotten to step 1 of the troubleshooting because we still don't have the basic information we need.(1) Get the backlight (if there is a backlight) working properly.(2) Get the contrast set properly.(3) Connect the Arduino properly.etc.Don
Michael presented very good and detailed 3 pages of how to wire it up and get it working,including a sample sketch (as shown in reply #26) and even a really nice wiring diagram on page 365(attached) and some debugging information in the section.
]There is nothing in the original post that mentions anything specific about the LCD that he is using or the code that he is trying to run it with. I don't see any mention about whether he is or is not using a shield as the word 'shield' appears nowhere in the post.

He said with a startling clarity that only bad punctuation can provide".ive used sample progs from tronixstuff..... "Now, how clear is that? Your reading skills might be a bit limited, but you only had to stagger to the second line. I made an assumption that he is not using the freetronics shield, for which the tronixstuff code was written, hence his problem. I guess you had difficulty reading my posts as well, but I had the same problem, with the same code for the same reason, hence my posting a solution - which worked for me.
Stop pretending ...
QuoteStop pretending ...That's a little extreme. The guy was just trying to help.
the rest total nonsense....nonsense givers defending nonsense...I jumped in just to make sure the reasonable suggestion is mentioned again with a fresh face...nonsense just escalates.
I see a potentially big problem with that really nice wiring diagram.(1) There aren't very many LCD modules out there (at least I haven't run into any) with the row of terminals at the lower right.(2) There are some, but not very many, LCD modules with pin 1 near the center and pin 14 (or 16) near the edge of the pc board.Since most LCD modules seem to have the terminals at the upper left it is quite possible that his display was simply rotated 180 degrees to match the diagram and then connected exactly backwards by following the diagram, especially if the display has no pin numbers, if the pin numbers are on the bottom, or if the user didn't realize their significance. In that case the backlight works but nothing else will work, especially if any smoke comes out.Don

U.S. stocks fell on Wednesday as retailers' shares dropped sharply after a report that showed holiday shoppers were less enthusiastic than last year, with investors saying worries about the "fiscal cliff" may have kept them away from stores.
The Morgan Stanley retail index skidded 1.8 percent as holiday-related sales rose 0.7 percent from October 28 through December 24, compared with a 2 percent increase last year, according to data from MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse. The SPDR S&P Retail Trust slipped 1.5 percent to 61.24.

Janna Sampson, co-chief investment officer of OakBrook Investments in Lisle, Illinois, said worries about "fiscal cliff" tax hikes and spending cuts next year had likely kept shoppers from a last-minute rush to the stores.
"I think people held back this year, just worried about that bigger cut out of their paycheck next year and having to tighten their belt," she said. "If you've got to tighten your belts starting in January, people start worrying about overspending."
Department stores' stocks slid. Macy's lost 3 percent to $36.41, while Saks also fell 3 percent and traded at $10.30, near its session low. Online retailer Amazon.com fell 3.1 percent to $250.52.
President Barack Obama is due back in Washington early Thursday for a final effort to negotiate a deal with Congress to bridge a series of tax increases and government spending cuts set to begin next week. The president will leave Hawaii later on Wednesday, arriving in the capital early on Thursday.
The Dow Jones industrial average slipped 45.61 points, or 0.35 percent, to 13,093.47. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index shed 8.66 points, or 0.60 percent, to 1,418. The Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 23.10 points, or 0.77 percent, to 2,989.50.
Volume was light, with only 1.55 billion shares having traded at midday on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq and the NYSE MKT. Many senior traders were still on vacation during this holiday-shortened week and major European markets were closed for the day.
Still, Wednesday marked the third day of losses for the S&P 500 in its worst three-day decline since mid-November.
A Republican plan that failed to gain traction last week triggered the S&P 500's recent drop, highlighting the market's sensitivity to headlines centered around the budget talks.
"No one is hitting the panic button yet, and part of that lack of panic selling is the notion that the Street is getting comfortable with the likelihood of a temporary fix for the fiscal cliff - something that gets us over the date of January 1 in a way where it can be re-addressed," said Peter Kenny, managing director at Knight Capital in Jersey City, New Jersey.
During the last five trading days of the year and the first two of next year, it's possible for a "Santa rally" to occur. Since 1928, the S&P 500 has averaged a gain of 1.8 percent during that period and risen 79 percent of the time, according to data from PrinceRidge.
The benchmark S&P 500 Index is up 12.8 percent for the year, and has recouped nearly all of the losses after the U.S. elections when the fiscal cliff concerns moved to the forefront. This is the best yearly gain for the S&P 500 since 2010.
Data showed U.S. single-family home prices rose in October, reinforcing the view that the domestic real estate market is improving, as the S&P/Case-Shiller composite index of 20 metropolitan areas gained 0.7 percent in October on a seasonally adjusted basis.
In the energy sector, China's Sinopec Group <600028.SS> and ConocoPhillips will research potentially vast reserves of shale gas in southwestern China over the next two years, state news agency Xinhua reported. Conoco's stock fell 0.8 percent to $57.99.
An outage at one of Amazon.com Inc's web service centers hit users of Netflix Inc's streaming video service on Christmas Eve and was not fully resolved until Christmas Day, a spokesman for the movie rental company said on Tuesday. Netflix rose 0.8 percent to $90.97.

Student Code of Conduct and Statement of Judicial Procedures
The Student Code of Conduct and Statement of Judicial Procedures is intended to present a clear statement of student rights and responsibilities and to set forth the judicial procedures established by the Connecticut State University System to protect those rights and address the abdication of those responsibilities. The code describes the types of acts that are not acceptable in an academic community, as well as the general processes by which the commission of those acts will be addressed.
Students must be aware that, as citizens, they are subject to all federal and state laws in addition to all university regulations governing student conduct and responsibilities. Students do not relinquish their rights or shed their responsibilities as citizens by becoming members of the Connecticut State University community.
Academic institutions exist for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the development of students and the general well-being of society. In line with this purpose, the university has the duty to protect the freedoms of inquiry and expression and furthermore has the responsibility to encourage all of its members to develop the capacity for critical judgment in their sustained and independent search for truth.
The Connecticut State University System has certain self-defined institutional values. Principal among these values is respect for the dignity, rights, and individuality of each member of the university community. The opportunity to live, study, and work in an institution which values diverse intellectual and cultural perspectives and encourages discussion and debate about competing ideas in an atmosphere of civility is a basic component of quality higher education at this university.
All members of the university community must at all times govern their social and academic interactions with tolerance and mutual respect so that the men and women who pass through the university's doors are enriched by these experiences and are prepared for full and enlightened participation in a multi-cultural society. Because of the university's commitment to principles of pluralism, mutual respect, and civility, certain activities are not acceptable on the university campus. Acts of intolerance, of hatred or violence based on race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, gender, age, or ethnic background are antithetical to the university's fundamental principles and values. It is the university's responsibility to secure the students' right to learn by establishing an environment of civility.
The disciplinary process is intended to be part of the educational mission of the CSU System. Student disciplinary proceedings are not criminal proceedings and are not subject to court rules of procedure and evidence.
The complete "Student Code of Conduct and Statement of Judicial Procedures" can be found in the Student Handbook, which is available through the Office of Student Affairs in Old Main 306 and on the WCSU website.
Judicial Affairs
The office of judicial affairs administers the student's discipline process and serves as a liason to all university departments regarding matters pertaining to student conduct. All Western students are expected to adhere to the policies and procedures outlined in the Student Code of Conduct and Statement of Judicial Procedures. Formal complaints, as well as inquiries concerning the student discipline system and student discipline records, should be directed to the Director of Judicial Affairs at (203) 837-8770.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A bipartisan group of senators on Wednesday pressed forward with a reporter shield bill that includes new Justice Department guidelines for investigations that involve the media.
Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, and Sen. Lindsay Graham, R-S.C., said they hoped to have the legislation to a Senate committee as early as this week.
Schumer said Justice Department guidelines were a good start — "but our bill will ensure that any new administration will not be able to go back."
Added Graham, "Guidelines aren't going to cut it. I think we need a law."
Attorney General Eric Holder announced the new Justice Department guidelines on Friday. They would make it harder for prosecutors to obtain journalists' phone records without advance notice.
Schumer said he has not yet spoken to the White House about the new bill. Schumer said the White House has been supportive in the past, though, and that he expects that to continue.
The proposed legislation would also ensure reporters have the ability to protect the identity of anonymous sources, with limited exceptions. The bill would create a legal framework for circumstances when it was lawful to compel reporters to reveal their sources. In most cases, the government would have to argue in court as to why it needed the information.
Co-sponsors of the legislation include Sens. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Jon Tester, D-Mont., Roy Blount, R-Mo., and Jonny Isakson, R-Ga.
Blount said the bill had strong bipartisan support because it was common sense.
"Just because I'm not supposed to answer a question, it doesn't mean you're not supposed to ask it," he said, gesturing toward reporters.

There Are No "Quiet Exits" in the Payment GameShareThis
by Ron Daly
By now, you've likely heard the news that the Approved Card, the prepaid financial product promoted by none other than Suze Orman, is shutting down. You probably remember a few years ago when much ruckus was raised over Orman's endorsement of this high-fee product. Now, Orman is seeking to exit the payment space "quietly", according to the New York Times.
Trouble is, there's no such thing as a "quiet exit" in this space. Who would expect silence after such a loud and hotly-debated entrance? Suze claimed her card would be the beginning of a revolution.
From The Daily Beast:
Even so, the Money Navigator flap was a minor blip compared to the storm Orman ignited in January 2012. That's when, declaring a "financial revolution," she launched the Approved Card, a prepaid debit card backed by the Bancorp Bank, the top issuer of prepaid cards in the U.S. "You can always bank on me," Orman announced during the accompanying promotional blitz.
Well, it would appear the revolution has come to a bitter end. And as far as "always banking" on Orman? That's officially false as of July 1, when the cards will stop working. As for all the critics Suze called "idiots" and publicly shamed for questioning her judgement, I imagine they feel vindicated when they read these words in the New York Times:
It is unclear exactly why Ms. Orman's venture is ending. A spokesman for Bancorp Bank, which ran the back-end systems for Approved, declined to comment, citing a policy of not making statements about its partners. Ms. Orman could not be reached for comment. The website for the card does not appear to have been updated recently, and as of Monday night, had no mention of the card's status.
If that wasn't enough, my attempts at reaching the Approved Card website turned up an error page. Seems as though someone doesn't want to say anything...which says a lot.
I'm not trying to diminish Ms. Orman's record as a financial adviser; many people adore her and trust her advice implicitly. But I imagine she's going to have a heck of a time explaining what went wrong with the Approved Card to its now-unbanked users...if she bothers explaining at all.
There are no "quiet exits" in the game of payment and finance. If you don't want to do the talking, don't worry - the consumers will do it for you.

Florida-breds are the favorites in a couple of graded stakes races out at Belmont Park on Saturday, including the the Grade 2, $350,000 Suburban Handicap.
Florida-breds are the favorites in a couple of graded stakes races out at Belmont Park on Saturday, including the Grade 2, $350,000 Suburban Handicap.
Flat Out, the 7-year-old Florida-bred son of Flatter, is the even money favorite in the 1 1/8-mile, Grade 2 race.
The oldest horse in the race, he only drew four rivals in the Suburban, including 2-1 second choice Last Gunfighter, a 4-year-old son of First Samurai, which has won two straight Grade 3 races. He won the Pimlico Special Stakes in May and the Excelsior Stakes at Aqueduct in March.
He is also on a six-race win streak, not having lost since last March, but it is his first try against Grade 2 competition.
Flat Out is a multiple Grade 1 winner whose last win came in the Grade 3 Westchester Stakes at Belmont in April. He finished third in his last start in the $750,000 Metropolitan Handicap in May.
Flat Out sold for $11,000 as a weanling in the 2006 Ocala Breeders' Sales fall mixed sale. He was later resold for $85,000 as a yearling at Fasig-Tipton.
Bred by Nikolaus Bock, he is owned by Preston Stables, and has earned more than $2.7 million in his career.
The Suburban is set for 4:45 p.m. and is race No. 8.
In the Grade 2 Dwyer Stakes for 3-year-olds, Florida-bred Battier is the 2-1 favorite in the $200,000 race.
The son of Tale of the Cat has hit the board in all seven of his races. He finished third in his last race, the Gygistar Stakes at Belmont. He won the Fit to Fight Stakes in his race before that in April at Aqueduct.
Battier drew the No. 1 post in the 1 1/16-mile race in the field of six horses. The second choice, Abraham, is a 3-year-old son of Distorted Humor. He enters the race at odds of 5-2 and drops from graded stakes competition.
He made three straight graded-stakes starts, finishing fourth in his last two, including his latest in the Grade 2 Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont in May.
Both Abraham and Battier are trained by Todd Pletcher.
Battier was bred by Loren Nichols and Dr. Joseph Tripi and is owned by Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and Brahman Red LLC.
He has earned more than $145,000 in his career.
The Dwyer is scheduled for 5:17 a.m. and is race No. 9.

In Roseland, a 40-year-old woman was beaten to death Saturday in the 10000 block of South Princeton Avenue, police said. One day earlier, a 64-year-old woman was stabbed to death in the 10800 block of South Calumet Avenue, according to officials.
In East Garfield Park, a 48-year-old man was shot to death Saturday in the 2800 block of West Flournoy Street, police said. Two days earlier, a 21-year-old man was fatally shot in the 600 block of South Francisco Avenue, according to officials.
In Austin, a 14-year-old boy was shot to death July 2 in the 5000 block of West North Avenue, police said. That same day, a 19-year-old man was fatally shot in the 4800 block of West Potomac Avenue, according to officials.
Citywide, gunshot homicides have been recorded in the last week in Gage Park, Greater Grand Crossing, Humboldt Park, the Near West Side, New City, North Lawndale, Rogers Park, South Shore, West Englewood, West Garfield Park and Woodlawn, RedEye determined.
Twenty-one homicides have been logged so far this month. Forty-nine homicides were recorded in July 2012, according to RedEye data.

"The Bible" was a hit for History this year, so it only makes sense that more would be coming. On Tuesday, NBC announced the sequel -- "A.D." -- is making the leap from cable to broadcast. It will air on NBC sometime in the spring of 2015.
The 12-hour miniseries, executive produced by "The Apprentice" creator Mark Burnett, Roma Downey and Richard Bedser, is expected to take up the story of the New Testament after the crucifixion of Jesus.
NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke said in a statement, "Everyone's lives were completely altered in an instant and the immediate aftermath of Christ's death had an impact on his disciples, his mother Mary, and key political and religious leaders of the time. In the first episode alone you see the last moments of the Crucifixion, Judas taking his own life after betraying Christ, Peter denying Jesus three times, and then the miracle of the Resurrection."

British playwright and screenwriter Simon Block will write the series. A director and star have not yet been set.
"The Bible" premiered its 10-episode run in March and grabbed 13.1 million viewers. The series averaged 13.2 million viewers per episode when live-plus-7 figures are factored in. The series was the third most-watched cable series or miniseries of the year.
Burnett and Downey are also working on a feature film spinoff, titled "Son of God," which will chronicle the life of Jesus. It will be released in theaters in February of next year.

Scottish Geography
Scotland occupies the northern third of the island of Great Britain. It is bounded by England in the south and on the other three sides by water: by the Atlantic Ocean on the west and north and by the North Sea on the east. Scotland is divided into three physical regions—the Highlands; the Central Lowlands, containing two-thirds of the population; and the Southern Uplands. The western Highland coast is intersected throughout by long, narrow sea lochs, or fjords. Scotland also includes the Outer and Inner Hebrides and other islands off the west coast and the Orkney and Shetland Islands off the north coast.

Posted on 04/02/2014 7:41:05 AM PDT by rktman
Teasing an upcoming story Tuesday on a left-wing smear campaign against conservative donors Charles and David Koch, CBS This Morning co-host Norah O'Donnell proclaimed: "Battling the Koch brothers, Democrats are fighting back against the family that spent more than $150 million trying to shake up Congress." Introducing the segment, fellow co-host Charlie Rose announced that "one of the best-known families in big-money politics is once again in the spotlight."
(Excerpt) Read more at newsbusters.org ...
How can they blast Koch without going after Soros?
It's called Selective Reporting.
The people in the media are just such absolute idiots it's disgusting.
Naturally, the next story will focus on Hollywood and Entertainment stars, George Soros, and Labor Unions' forced dues billions which support the so-called "progressive" regressives who are taking away our freedoms and dismantling our Constitution's protections!
Media toad scum do what their political handlers tell them to do.
Which is fine, mention Soros and why can't individuals not give more than $2600?
.... but they repeat themselves.
Oh, wait....
ATTN: Foxnews.
Just saying. Why don't we hear some, about Soros?
The Koch brothers aren't even in the top 20 list of political donors.
And, of the top 20, 18 of them donate to democrats.
Not sure where in the list the 2 conservative donors rank.
Which one is Emmanuel Goldstein?
Because CBS is just another wing of the democrat/communist controlled media/entertainment/academia propaganda complex. They get their talking points and the robots just spit them out.
I love it when Rush plays the different communist talking heads repeating the same officially approved phrase over and over again. Nothing is better to prove how these communists march in lockstep to the tune of the Party Line.
The Koch brothers are living 'rent free' in Harry Reid's head ..... obviously, there's plenty of room for both of them.
Good info now people know what to invest in to support them.
I wonder if these people have thought this demonizing all the way through. Do they really want to piss off billionaires?
As I recall from an earlier post from someone, they are either 49th or 59th. Can't remember for sure but they are WAY down the list.
Kinda like he has some weird obsession or something. Maybe he got popped in the head too many times as a boxer. As an aside, I read somewhere this morning that he's "repaying" the campaign for his misappropriation of money he paid his granddaughter. How nice of him. Thus, no harm, no foul and he'll not even be admonished for his misdeeds. That's how it works for dimokkkrats. Conservatives, not so much.

Gainesville Fire Rescue firefighter John Dowling remembers doors blown off their hinges, exploded sprinkler heads and intense gasoline fumes.
It was a bizarre scene, even to experienced rescuers.
Gainesville Fire Rescue firefighter John Dowling remembers doors blown off their hinges, exploded sprinkler heads and intense gasoline fumes.
His partner on the call, Lt. Mike Tringali, remembers the call that led to them being dispatched to the scene. The caller described a "fireball" coming out of an apartment.
A fireball?
Given that it was 2:30 in the morning and that the building was a residence, the two figured there was a good chance somebody was still in there, but they couldn't know for sure.
As they searched the building, where in some places the walls and roof no longer touched, things started to make more sense. The two came across a door with a couch wedged behind it. Gasoline cans littered about an apartment.
They finally reached a bathroom where they found a severely burned and unconscious 57-year-old man sitting fully clothed in a bathtub filled with 12 to 15 gallons of gasoline.
There was a lit candle next to the bathtub.
To save the man, who police later said had tried to commit suicide, the two had to get in the tub and lift him out - covering themselves in fuel.
It was only when Tringali and Dowling were walking away from the fire at Gateway at Glades, 3415 SW 39th Blvd., that they realized how lucky they were to be going home to their families that day.
The two firefighters were honored for their actions on June 4, 2012 with Medals of Valor at the Gainesville Fire Rescue awards ceremony last Thursday - an award that has been give out only three other times, according to Gainesville Fire Rescue District Chief Jeff Lane.
Lane was the incident commander for the call and the person who nominated Tringali and Dowling for the award.
"Basically, to be eligible for the medal of valor it takes an action that requires extreme personal danger," Lane said. "They really went above and beyond the call of duty."
Lane said there was a large possibility another explosion could have occurred when the two made the decision to go in and find anyone inside.
Tringali and Dowling feel honored but remain humble. Their actions, they both said, are just a part of their job.
"That could have been any of the firetrucks and any other crew would have done the same," Dowling said.
"It's the greatest job I can think of but sometimes the most taxing," Tringali said.
At Station 2 of the Gainesville Fire Rescue, where the two received the call, the camaraderie and light mood is infectious. They joke and poke fun at one another like a family would - until there is a call. Then, they seamlessly and swiftly transition into all business.
The tremendous amount of respect the men all hold for one another is evident, medals and recognition aside.
Other notable awards presented at the ceremony included GFR Lt. Parnell Jones who received the Donald J. King Mentorship Award, Andrew Cone for the Meritorious Service Award, Paramedic/Firefighter Andrew Marsh for the Medical Director's Award for EMS Excellence, and Cpl. Gary Henagan for the Chief's Excellence Award.
Tringali has been with GFR for more than 10 years and Dowling for two. They received a standing ovation from the crowd.
Tringali said at times he does wonder, "Do I deserve this? Any lieutenant or firefighter would have done it, but it truly is an honor."

Head coach Cameron Rast, on game: "Tonight was a big game for us and we had a great crowd behind us. We are glad to get the full three points. I am pleased for our guys because they are playing well and getting results right now so hopefully we can keep this momentum going."
Rast, on goal: "Amaechi had a great week in practice so that is why he started. A few minutes before the goal, he had one that just banked off the goalkeeper that he was unlucky not to finish. Then, he came right back and did a great job to catch the keeper with a quick shot and give us the lead."
Rast, looking ahead to next week's road trip: "We know that we will have two difficult games down there, so we have to be ready. USF went down there and won two games so we will hopefully take a page out of their book."
Amaechi Igwe, on win: "It felt great to get the win tonight. I have not scored many goals this season and I wanted to contribute more. So to score and help the team win in such a big game felt very good."
Igwe, on goal: "After I got the pass from Sean (Danzeiser) I took a touch and for a moment I thought that the defender might get it. But I was able to move around him and I saw an opening so I took the shot and it went in."
Joseph Buttitta, on upcoming games against LMU and USD: "Next weekend is huge for us. It is always hard to play down there and LMU beat us on our home field so we want to go down there and get two good results. That would put us in great shape. If we go down there and lose then tonight's win will have meant nothing."
Buttitta, on first half save on Neil Stuart: "We had a little lapse early on and they played a good ball in. I thought he was going to go to my right and I was right so I was able to make the save."
Buttitta, on beating USF: "They are a good team and they will probably make the tournament and do well. It felt good to beat them tonight though and keep them behind us in the standings."

These spooky looking carrion feeders keep the living world healthy
Picture this: A chilly night cloaked in mist with vultures roosting by the dozens on lampposts, in trees behind the grocery store.
That was a rare sight at Bay Hills Shopping Center, but I see vultures almost every day. Usually turkey vultures, distinguished from their black cousins by red heads and outer feathers of black and brown. They often perch on the signs or lampposts on the eastern approach to the Severn River Bridge. They circle the skies around Broadneck, riding thermals. They flourish throughout Chesapeake Country, fed abundantly by the vehicles our commuter culture depends on.
Turkey vultures have a bad rap among us two-leggeds, who view them as dirty, spooky birds and fitting symbols for Halloween. Indeed, they are Halloween-fit birds, but for a different reason.
At Halloween, the veils between worlds are thinnest. It's time to reflect on the lives of those who've passed and to celebrate the cycle of life and death. In Creek Indian culture, turkey vultures represent transformation. A change is coming, and the change could be a death or something else, according to Alabama herbalist Phyllis Light, who is part Creek.
Her words resonate from a species standpoint as vultures transform the recently living into food for themselves while, at the same time keeping disease from spreading. In this way, they bridge two worlds, living and dead.
They are exquisitely made for the job, having bald heads (no feathers for microbes to hide in) and acidic urine and feces, which they spray on their feet to protect themselves from becoming diseased.

Lucy Li Missed the Cut but Made History at the U.S. Women's OpenJune 21, 2014
When I was 11 years old, I was most concerned about my next little league baseball game, riding my bike really fast and how much ice cream I could eat.
It appears that I have at least one thing in common with 11-year-old Lucy Li, who qualified for the U.S. Women's Open at Pinehurst this week.
We both like ice cream.
As she nibbled on a cool treat while being interviewed after the first round of the U.S. Women's Open at Pinehurst, reporters asked her what she would do with the rest of her day.
She calmly replied, "Eat more ice cream."
The temperatures at Pinehurst were in the high 90s and even crept over the 100 degree mark in the afternoon on Thursday so a dip in the pool and lots of ice cream would certainly be on my afternoon agenda.
Don't let her age fool you; she is a seasoned golf veteran. Li is the youngest woman ever to qualify for the U.S. Women's Amateur, as well as the U.S. Women's Open. She is the second youngest to ever qualify for the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links Championship in 2013.
Then, at the age of 10 years 8 months 16 days, she became the youngest to ever to advance to the match play portion of the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links Championship, besting Michelle Wie's previous record age by seven days.
She comes into the U.S. Women's Open as the champion in the 10-11 age division at the first ever Drive, Chip and Putt competition that was held at Augusta National prior to the Masters.
Li was 11 years 7 months old, when she qualified for Pinehurst and surpassed the previous record held by Lexi Thompson. Thompson qualified for the 2007 U.S. Women's Open when she was 12 years 7 months.
On May 19, 2014, she posted scores of 74-68 for a total of 142 to win the USGA sectional held at Half Moon Bay in California by seven shots over her nearest competitor.
Like Michelle Wie and Lexi Thompson before her, Li is a golf prodigy. She has tremendous talent and has received the best instruction available. She resides with her parents in Redwood Shores, California but spends four months every year living with her aunt in Miami, Florida and trains at the Jim McLean Golf School.
Li posted an eight-over-par 78 in the first round of the U.S. Women's Open on Thursday and finished tied for 111th but still beat 45 others in the 156-woman field.
She followed up with another 78 in the second round on Friday and missed the cut by seven shots.
Like Wie and Thompson before her, Li will use this as one more step in her learning process.
There will be many more U.S. Women's Opens for Miss Li.
Unless otherwise noted, all quotes were obtained firsthand or from official interview materials provided by the USGA, the PGA Tour, the LPGA Tour or the PGA of America.

Early detection and treatment of laryngeal neuropathy
John Cheetham, VetMB, Dipl. ACVS, Department of Clinical Sciences, Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, has recently received a grant from the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation to study recurrent laryngeal neuropathy in horses.
Recurrent laryngeal neuropathy, also referred to as roaring, is a common disease in horses. Affected horses exhibit upper airway obstruction. It occurs, and is especially critical in, exercising horses since the nerves and muscles (cricoarytenoid dorsalis muscle) that control the movement of the arytenoid cartilages of the larynx do not function correctly, causing improper opening of the larynx during inspiration. This may lead to inadequate ventilation and poor performance during exercise.
The grant description notes: "Laryngeal neuropathy, or 'roaring,' is estimated by the author to affect 8 percent of race horses and a higher percentage of sport horses. This researcher over the last three years has developed two non-invasive procedures to assess the cricoarytenoid dorsalis (CAD) muscle and the nerve that supplies it. The CAD muscle is the only muscle that opens the larynx during exercise. The present proposal will validate two diagnostic tests for early detection of roaring in horses. The ability to identify young horses which are predisposed to become roarers would enable surgical intervention to restore the nerve supply before atrophy and fibrosis of the CAD muscle occurs.""What we're trying to do is work out which horses go on to develop laryngeal problems," says Cheetham. In most cases, recurrent laryngeal neuropathy is seen in racing horses at 2, 3 or 4 years of age with obstructed airway and poor performance. Tie-back, or laryngoplasty, which is the current form of surgical intervention, has a good success rate. "But there is room for improvement, and there are some possible complications associated with it," Cheetham says.
One of the recurrent laryngeal neuropathy research goals is to try to detect which horses will go on to develop the disease. Cheetham is investigating whether a diagnostic test could be applied to a weanling population that will tell us which horses are going to develop disease during their 2-, 3- or 4-year-old season.
The impact of the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation grant will be twofold.
"First, we could intervene much earlier," says Cheetham. "So if we knew that there was a 90 percent chance that a particular horse was going to develop disease, then perhaps we could do a reinnervation technique or some other technique that would give us a better success rate."
Thus, it would mean that a horse would not experience time out of training or a break in its career and perhaps not be exposed to some of the complications of the tie-back procedure. "Although tie-back is a good procedure, and I certainly wouldn't discourage it, we're just trying to improve things all the time," says Cheetham.
"Second, it would also give trainers an idea of which horses to focus their efforts on and which young horses would perhaps be better doing a different job—possibly discontinuing training," says Cheetham.

Yup, this really reinforced my intention to use Jay Wiseman's Negotiation Checklist before running a scene.
I did appreciate the warning at the beginning, but I do wish you'd edited the comment out. This is one of those situations where I definitely wanted the information that was in the podcast- i think it was really interesting to hear a real-life sexy experience like this processed- but I wasn't really sure where the comment was going to be and it was for sure a bit triggering. *shrug* In the end it's really up to you whether or not to edit, but definitely please do keep warning us for stuff like that.
I don't envy the job of trying to moderate or edit the words that come out of every guest on the show, I don't know if it should even be attempted. And I understand everybody is allowed their preferences. But would it have been fine to air if the comment had been "I called everybody and their momma, who wasn't black or horribly unattractive" ?
