If you have funds in your card account, but haven't used it for more than 12 months, a monthly admin fee will be charged from the twelfth month and your card will be deactivated when the balance reaches zero.
If your balance is below zero for a period of 3 months, your card will be automatically deactivated. You are still responsible for any negative balance as per the terms and conditions that you accepted during the application process.

The Environmental Protection Agency's second stab at a proposal to set the first-ever limits on greenhouse gas emissions from new power plants would make it impossible for companies to build the kind of coal-fired plants that have been the country's biggest source of electricity for decades.
Under the proposal, released Friday, any new plant that runs on coal would be permitted to emit only about half as much carbon dioxide as an average coal plant puts into the air today.
EPA administrator Gina McCarthy tells NPR the steps the EPA is proposing in the rule to address climate change "can actually form the basis for a sound economy, while at the same time we can begin to tackle what is essentially the most significant public health challenge of our time."
The EPA proposal aims to help the White House meet its plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions by attacking the largest single source in the United States: Power plants pump out 40 percent of the nation's greenhouse gases.
The EPA's new proposal sets a limit for future power plants of 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt hour for large electricity generators that are powered by natural gas. And it sets a slightly higher limit of 1,100 pounds of CO2 per megawatt hour for small natural-gas generators and for coal-fired generators.
Although the EPA says its rule is legally sound, electric utility companies are already arguing that it goes further than the law allows.
The only technologies that exist to make coal plants clean enough to meet this proposed standard, industry executives say, are far too expensive and haven't been proved at a commercial scale. Making coal plants clean enough, they say, would add hundreds of millions of dollars to the already steep price tag of coal plants.
"Our customers have to agree to foot that bill," says Nick Akins, president and CEO of American Electric Power, one of the country's largest utilities.
Akins says his customers won't go for it.
A few years ago, American Electric Power built a temporary, small-scale project that successfully captured carbon and stored it deep underground at its massive Mountaineer coal-fired power plant in West Virginia. The company proposed building a larger version at the same site and passing the costs on to consumers. But state regulators rejected that project in the end because it would increase electricity costs.
If the EPA's proposal goes forward, Akins says, companies won't build coal plants; natural gas plants are cheaper. But that strategy would make companies and their customers vulnerable to future spikes in natural gas prices, he says.
The revised proposal comes after loud complaints from industry about the first version of the proposed rule, which was released 18 months ago. That initial version proposed one standard for all power plants, regardless of their size or the type of fuel they use.
Greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity industry already have declined because economic considerations have led utility companies to start turning away from coal. These days, utilities are building natural gas plants and wind farms instead. New technologies for drilling into deep shale deposits have opened up abundant supplies of relatively low-cost natural gas. And subsidies and technological improvements have made wind farms competitive.
Electricity companies fought hard against the EPA's first proposal largely because they see it as a bad precedent for upcoming regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from power plants that already exist.
President Obama has told the EPA to come up with a proposal by June to clean up the older plants. (Even though companies are already developing fewer new coal-fired plants, they're likely to rely on many of the existing coal plants for decades to come.)
Environmental groups, too, are closely reading Friday's proposal, hunting for clues to how stringent the administration is likely to be when it turns in 2014 to developing new rules for existing plants.
"The sooner we get these protections in place," says Vickie Patton, general counsel of the Environmental Defense Fund, "the clearer the signal [will be] that new power plants must do their fair share in addressing the heavy burden of carbon pollution on human health and the environment."
The Environmental Protection Agency will take another stab today at controlling greenhouse gas emissions from the power plants of the future. The power industry attacked the EPA's first proposal, saying it would make it nearly impossible to build new plants that use coal. But as NPR's Elizabeth Shogren reports, companies don't like this new plan, either.
ELIZABETH SHOGREN, BYLINE: The electricity sector pumps out about 40 percent of the pollution that contributes to climate change - more than any other source. EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy says that's got to change and the U.S. is up to the challenge technologically and financially.
GINA MCCARTHY: We believe that the actions you take to address climate change can be real. They're available to us now. And they can actually form the basis for a sound economy while at the same time, we can begin to tackle what is essentially the most significant public health challenge of our time.
SHOGREN: McCarthy says under today's proposal, the greenhouse gas emissions of future coal plants would be limited to about half of what coal plants emit now. McCarthy says this proposal should push companies to adopt cleaner, innovative technologies.
MCCARTHY: You know, climate change doesn't have to make people afraid to take action. It should make people concerned if we're not taking action.
SHOGREN: Industry officials haven't had much time to look at the new plan. But they say it has the same problem as the earlier version. They say the only ways for the industry to make coal plants clean enough for the EPA are far too expensive, and haven't been proven at a commercial scale.
Nick Akins is president and CEO of American Electric Power, one of the country's largest utilities. He says meeting the proposed standard would add hundreds of millions of dollars to the cost of any new coal plant - and that money has to come from somewhere.
NICK ATKINS: Our customers have to agree that they're going to foot that bill.
SHOGREN: A few years ago, his company built a small-scale, temporary project that captured and stored carbon dioxide at a big West Virginia plant. It worked. But when the company asked to build a larger version and pass on the costs, state regulators said no. Akins says companies like his aren't planning to build coal-fired power plants anyway - natural gas and wind are affordable right now. But that could change, and he worries that because of EPA's new proposal, coal would no longer be an option.
ATKINS: To the lay person, it would say that the EPA is trying to stop all coal development.
SHOGREN: Akins' bigger concern is the EPA's next job - promised regulations to limit greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants. Environmentalists are also reacting to today's proposal, which comes 18 months after the original. The EPA says this version will stand up better against anticipated legal attacks. But Vickie Patton, chief lawyer for the Environmental Defense Fund, says the EPA is just losing time.
VICKIE PATTON: The sooner we get these protections in place, the clearer the signal is: New power plants must do their fair share at addressing the heavy burden of carbon pollution on human health and the environment.
SHOGREN: She says like increases in extreme weather events. Patton lives in Boulder, Colo., where torrential rains last week destroyed houses and washed away roads. Seven people died, and 10 more are presumed dead. It's too early to say whether climate change played a role in Colorado's disaster. But Patton says living through it makes her more impatient for the government to step in to reduce greenhouse gases.
PATTON: Seeing close at hand the ravages of extreme weather, it only just underscores the urgency of action.
SHOGREN: A final rule to cut greenhouse gas emissions from new power plants should come out in about a year.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The No. 1 Yale women's sailing team stretched its winning streak to four regattas this past weekend by winning the Yale Women's Intersectional. Twelve races were completed in each division over the course of the weekend. Eighteen teams competed.
Competitors arrived to a calm Long Island Sound on Saturday morning. It looked as if there might not be any racing that day, but a steady southerly breeze finally filled in in the afternoon. Six races were completed and the Bulldogs ended the day with a comfortable 54-point lead.
A medium westerly breeze greeted the sailors on Sunday morning so racing got underway on time. The new direction caused the wind on the race course to be more influenced by the land and, according to captain Marlena Fauer, the conditions got trickier as the day went on and the wind faded.
Fauer skippered the Bulldogs' A division boat with senior Eugenia Custo Greig as crew. The senior duo finished just one point behind first in the division.
In B division, junior skipper Morgan Kiss and senior crew Amanda Salvesen bested their competition by 45 points.
The Bulldogs will now take advantage of fall break this week to prepare for the Stu Nelson Trophy next weekend. Just two weeks from now they will be racing to qualify for the Atlantic Coast Championships.

It wasn't easy for Crew midfielder Bernardo Anor to sit on the sidelines and watch his team earn a hard-fought draw against the New York Red Bulls last Saturday.
Fortunately, the Venezuelan has a chance to immediately make an impact against a Sporting Kansas City side that, as the defending MLS Cup champion, poses a measuring-stick challenge for the Crew. Anor is available for selection on Sunday after missing out against New York due to a red card suspension, and the Crew attacker is ready to contribute if called upon.
"Obviously, it's tough to sit out, to not be a part of a game that was that important for us," said Anor. "But I think that the guys did pretty well. I'm happy for the team. Now I'm back, and hopefully I contribute in this game coming-up. It's something that you just leave in the past and move on."
Both Columbus and Kansas City have enjoyed strong possession in the season's early going. In fact, the two sides are far and away the MLS leaders in this category, with Columbus' 57.4% rate of possession leading MLS, and Sporting's 57.1% mark ranking just behind the Black & Gold.
Possession is often catalyzed by a strong midfield, and Anor expects that controlling the middle of the field against a Sporting side that deploys the likes of Graham Zusi and Benny Feilhaber can go a long way toward victory.
"It's going to be a great opponent in the midfield … we have to be smart with the ball, and when they have the ball, we need to position ourselves well defensively."
Although Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter said that Anor's return adds another "quality player" to his selection, there is no guarantee that the former University of South Florida player will immediately regain his starting spot. Still, Berhalter praised his midfielder's quality.
"[Anor] is a solid performer. He's been performing for us all year. He gets in good positions between the lines, he's physical, he has good strength and is good in the air. He has a lot of positive qualities."
Regardless if he gets the starting nod or not, Anor is confident in his team's ability to get the job done no matter who takes to the pitch.
"Everybody that steps into that position can do it. I think everybody is ready for what [Sporting] Kansas City is going to present to us. We all have to be focused, no matter who is on the field. It's going to be very important that everybody is on the same page."
Anor returns to the fold
It wasn't easy for Crew midfielder Bernardo Anor to sit on the sidelines and watch his team earn a hard-fought draw against the New York Red Bulls last Saturday.

Developing student learning plans effectively
Under No Child Left Behind, once a parent chooses an SES provider for his or her child, the district must enter into an agreement with the provider that includes, among other things, specific achievement goals for the student to be developed in consultation with the student's parents and the provider; a description of how the student's progress will be measured; and a timetable for improving student achievement. The student learning plans that result from these requirements are an essential component of SES implementation. Following are some considerations for developing student learning plans that inform service delivery and contribute to improved student achievement.
For information on involving school staff in this process and using student learning plans to connect SES with the classroom, see "Leveraging student learning plans" on p. 40.
Approaching student learning plans appropriately. Districts may approach student learning plans from a range of perspectives. At one end, a district may view student learning plans as a paperwork responsibility that amounts to little more than checking the appropriate boxes. At the other, a district may place such numerous and detailed requirements on these plans that their development, review, and approval cause a significant delay in the start of services. In general, districts are advised to seek a balance between these extremes and develop useful, informative learning plans while not imposing requirements that cause delays or act as barriers to the provision of services to students.
Using specialists. Districts could enlist the support of curriculum specialists and experts in developing student learning plans. For students with disabilities covered under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act or for students covered under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, districts could include specialists in those areas to assist in the development of the plans. Such experts could provide the SES coordinators in the district with training on the components of an effective student learning plan and could play active roles in plan development and review.

Lochte puts TV career on hold to resume swimming
Jul. 27, 2013
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Ryan Lochte has put his TV career on hold.
It's time to go swimming again.
The American star will lead another powerhouse men's team into the swimming portion of the world championships, which begins Sunday at the Palau Sant Jordi. He hopes to compete in seven events and doesn't have to worry about being overshadowed by longtime rival Michael Phelps, who retired after the London Olympics.
Lochte never considered quitting, but he did try some new things, including his own reality show, "What Would Ryan Lochte Do?"
"After the Olympics, I wanted to take a break from the swimming pool," Lochte said. "I wanted to do things that other Olympians just dreamed about. I had a lot of fun, doing a bunch of TV appearances. I had my own reality TV show. Everything I did was different.
"But," he added, "the biggest goal was always the 2016 Olympics. I knew I had to get back in the water eventually."
At the midway point of the FINA worlds championships, the American have only two medals — both in open water. Their count should start to go up dramatically when Lochte, Missy Franklin & Co. take over the pool.
Last summer, the U.S. team won 16 golds and 31 medals overall, far more than any other nation.
Franklin, who won four golds and a bronze at the Olympics, plans to increase her workload from seven to eight events at the world championships. Lochte will be nearly as busy, though he has changed up his London program.
Even though he won gold in the grueling 400-meter individual medley, he's dropped that event for this meet. Instead, he'll take on the 100 butterfly, where he'll face South African star Chad le Clos — who is best known for handing Phelps a shocking loss in the 200 fly at London.
Lochte's other individual events are the 200 IM, the 200 backstroke and the 200 freestyle. Plus, he hopes to be picked for all three relays.
But, given the lack of training time leading up to this meet because of his extracurricular activities, Lochte is realistic about his chances.
"Any other year, my expectations would definitely be medaling in every race," he said. "I want to do that at this meet, but it's been an off year. I really don't know what's going to happen. If I can just step on the blocks and race tough, I think I'll be all right."
He has no regrets about his post-Olympic schedule.
"I'm usually training every day, all the time," Lochte said. "This year, I took a long break. I don't know if it's going to help me or not. But it was worth it. I had to do what I needed to do. My body basically needed to recharge."
The most anticipated event of the opening night is the 400 free relay, where the Americans figure to face a stiff challenge from defending Olympic champion France as well as the Australians, who are led by James "The Missile" Magnussen.
The Aussies, long the top challenger to the U.S., hope to begin bouncing back from a dismal performance at the London Games. They took only one gold medal and 10 overall, leading to a major organizational shake-up.
"We come into this meet with some very good rankings on paper, but that is a paper assessment," said Michael Scott, who three months ago was appointed director of high performance for the Australian swim federation. "The ship isn't broken in Australia. But we need to refine it and we've started working on that. And the positive steps that I've seen have been significant."
China seems on the verge of being a major swimming power after its performance in London, where its 10 medals included five golds. Towering Sun Yang captured two golds, a silver and a relay bronze, while 17-year-old Ye Shiwen romped to dominating victories in the women's 200 and 400 IMs.
But Dutch team director Jacco Verhaeren said the Chinese are actually underachievers, given their nation's enormous population and potential pool of athletes.
"I always think they can do a lot better, but luckily for us all they don't," he said. "They can challenge the whole world if they want to. But apparently they don't want it enough, because otherwise they (would have) already. A country with 1.3 billion people should be better in every relay than all other countries. So it's a choice."
Phelps is expected to be cheering from the stands, returning to the city where he had a breakout performance at the 2003 worlds. There is plenty of speculation that he's plotting a comeback in time for the 2016 Rio Olympics, though Phelps has denied — sort of — that he has any plans to return to the pool.
Many top swimmers took long breaks after the London Olympics, with some shutting down for the entire year. So don't expect this meet to come anywhere close to the spectacle of the last post-Olympic worlds, which came at the height of the rubberized suit era. A staggering 43 world records were set at the 2009 meet in Rome.
After the rubber suits were banned, only two world records were set at the 2011 worlds in Shanghai. Last summer, however, the swimmers began taking aim at lofty marks that some though might last for a decade or longer, taking down nine world records in London. American Rebecca Soni set two of those marks in the 200 breaststroke, one of them in the semifinals.
Soni is taking this year off and won't be in Barcelona.
So, who might set a record in this meet?
Verhaeren singled out now-retired Aaron Peirsol's 100 backstroke mark from 2009 (51.94) as ripe for the taking. Matt Grevers of the U.S. won gold last year in London with a time of 52.16 but could be challenged by Japanese swimmers Ryosuke Irie, the Olympic bronze medalist, and Kosuke Hagino, a promising 18-year-old. Also keep an eye on Jeremy Stravius of France.
"I don't know if they're good enough," Verhaeren said. "But they are really close."
The men's 100 back final will be held Tuesday — Day 3 of the pool competition.

By Bill McDermott
Christina Marule owns a spaza shop — the equivalent of a corner store — in rural South Africa. Five years ago she was forced to keep her young son out of school while she traveled to the nearest market, a half day's trip away, to purchase products to sell in her store. Today, she manages inventory via text message from a mobile device. Her son is back in the classroom.
Her story is one of personal determination, but also of real progress.
Fueled by innovation and the determined ambition of a whole new generation, stories like this are transforming business models and entire value chains. To the world's future leaders, sustainable behavior is as much about educating Christina's son as it is about protecting the world's supply of drinkable water. It's up to today's leaders to connect those dots.
In a recent survey 84 percent of Millennials (the generation born between 1980 and 1993) said they care more about making a positive difference than workplace recognition. These young professionals are the very same consumers who care more about purpose than packaging or price. They are concerned, creative and impatient for opportunities to make a difference. Their terms are crystal clear: innovate business models around making the world run better and improving people's lives — or be left behind by those that do.
During the recent annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative, I joined some distinguished panelists to talk about the world's resource crisis. Many statistics are simply beyond dispute.
Today, the United Nations reports that 870 million people worldwide are undernourished. More than 10 percent of the world's population can't access a safe water supply and more than 2 billion people lack adequate sanitation. While we discuss these challenges, the world's population is on course to grow from today's 7 billion to more than 9 billion by 2050. Despite these and other compelling figures, many organizations still believe that sustainability is little more than an appendix in the annual report.
The reality is that sustainable practices are the foundation of business models that will win, grow and scale.
Think about what's happening in the automobile industry with connected cars. Leading manufacturers understand that consumer interest has shifted from sexy to smart. It doesn't matter to Millennials that they can drive zero to sixty in five seconds if they can't afford the fuel and their joy rides hurt the planet. Interconnected mobility is the new value proposition, offering young drivers fuel efficiency, real-time information, social networking and pro-rated insurance in a single product. Fulfilling this promise requires collaboration across industries, co-innovating to responsibly meet consumer demand.
It's true for business processes, too.
Danone, the world's largest yogurt maker, has more than 100,000 employees on five continents. The company now uses carbon emissions as a proxy for inefficiency across its supply chain. With advanced technology, they automatically capture and analyze emissions data across the manufacturing process. As they conserve energy, they improve business results and build greater brand loyalty among purpose-driven consumers.
Saving the world, it turns out, is a winning business strategy.
Andrew Liveris, chairman and chief executive officer of Dow Chemical Company, says that the world's largest companies have the responsibility to lead this transformation. He's absolutely right and has built Dow into a case study with high standards across his global supply chain. Other companies are following suit on the Ariba Network - a virtual supply chain that tracks compliance and measures businesses worldwide on their performance.
At SAP, we bet big on the power of transparent data and network-driven behavior. Today, any employee can monitor the company's performance on carbon emissions, women in management or business travel. Skipping a flight when a video-conference will do makes a difference, so every employee has the power to move the needle.
These measures lie at the core of our ability to continue transforming our company. That's why when we report our annual business performance, we integrate our sustainability performance. Our shareholders appreciate that engaged employees and operating income are inherently tied (for every 1 percent reduction in employee turnover, SAP saves 62 million euros). If we involve people in the decisions that companies make, the change will be more significant than we ever imagined. This is the epitome of sustainability.
Engagement begins and ends with serving customers like Christina Marule.
Seven of the ten fastest growing economies in the world are in Africa. Mobile technology is core to reaching those emerging markets. A mobile application was what Christina needed to ensure her son was educated and to initiate herself into the modern economy.
Studies have shown that introducing 10 new mobile telephones per 100 people in the developing world can add between .5 to 1 percent to a country's GDP growth rate.
Christina's story is being played out over and over again in Africa — and in Asia, Europe and America. Christina's son and millions like him will grow up in a better-run world and one day will have the opportunity to live out their own winning dreams.
Many of my fellow boomers are despondent, thinking we'll leave younger generations a world worse off than the one we inherited. Guess what? They won't let us! They were raised with too many tools that allow them to reverse the trends. Mobility. Big data. Social networks. Let's take inspiration from our heirs and co-innovate with young dreamers to create a new era of responsible growth that protects the planet and benefits everyone.

An NSA setback: Fourth Amendment wins first round
December 17. 2013 7:46PM
On Monday, a federal district court judge ruled that the National Security Agency's sweeping collection of phone record data is likely an unconstitutional violation of the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Any Founding Father around to read that decision might respond with: "Duh."
Judge Richard Leon poured through the lengthy jurisprudence on the Fourth Amendment, which protects Americans against "unreasonable searches and seizures," and could not wed the amendment with what the NSA has been doing.
"The basic purpose of this Amendment, as recognized in countless decisions of this Court, is to safeguard the privacy and security of individuals against arbitrary invasions by governmental officials," the court ruled in a 1967 case involving a person whose home was searched by San Francisco municipal officials without a warrant.
Citing that case, Carara v. Municipal Court of the City and County of San Francisco, Leon wrote, "I cannot imagine a more 'indiscriminate' and 'arbitrary invasion' than this systematic and high tech collection and retention of personal data on virtually every single citizen for purposes of querying and analyzing it without prior judicial approval. Surely, such a program infringes on 'that degree of privacy' that the founders enshrined in the Fourth Amendment."
Surely it does.
The argument for the constitutionality of this massive phone record data collection rests upon Smith v. Maryland, a 1979 case in which the Supreme Court ruled that people had no expectation of privacy in the records kept by phone companies. But Leon reasoned that a) phones are used differently today and produce enough data to compile a profile of each user, something not possible in 1979, and b) the government's collection and keeping of all the data is itself unreasonable.
"No court has ever recognized a special need sufficient to justify continuous, daily searches of virtually every American citizen without any particularized suspicion," he wrote.
Exactly. The state has not, and never should have, that power. All Americans should hope the appellate courts agree.

People We Love :: Humberto Ríos Labrada
Cuba lost more than its key trading partner when the Soviet Union fell in 1991. The island nation was also cut off from most of the oil and pesticide fueling its sugar industry, and its agricultural system collapsed.
Humberto Ríos Labrada, then a graduate student, noticed individual farmers experimenting with seed diversity on their own plots of land. To help expand the movement and promote self-sufficiency, Ríos set off to build farming cooperatives.
Ríos has since worked with other young scientists to connect farmers with researchers, professors, and biodiversity experts. His team established learning centers and "seed fairs" around the island, now involving a network of 50,000 farmers.
Winner of a 2010 Goldman Environmental Prize, Rios has watched seed fairs become celebrated events, where community members gather with farmers to exchange local products and socialize.

I have read a few Topics about treadmills and i'm really interested in getting one, I would prefer to just buy one thats made for dogs, but since I live in canada I dont really wanna buy one that has to shipped, mostly 'cause of the shipping cost plus the customs [*sp]..
i dont mind paying the shipping cost but most of the ones i have seen have are been sold in the USA....Does any1 here know of a canadian based company that sells them?
If there isnt I just might convert one for humans I know that Diane has made one, i have seen the pic a few times, I know that the only part the dog should be able to step on is the part that moves, so i will have to build a wall on each side and a bar on top that i could hook up a harness to. is that all? can any1 else give me tips or if you have build one post a pic so i can get a better idea...
also once i start, [I wouldn't do it now hes too young only 7mths] is what speed i should use? for how long should he be on there for?
another treadmill Question...
Talk about diets, exercise, and disease.

I've concerted a few Human ones. The trick is to make sure the dog has no where to go but the moving part (for the time they are learning at least) and you need to be able to tie them back to something if they are go-getters, or they will run off the front. I will try and get some pics of mine and post them. I don't have a digital camera, so its tough.

STOCKTON - Officials confirmed Tuesday through DNA test results that human remains recently unearthed in Calaveras County are those of murder victims Cyndi Vanderheiden and Chevelle "Chevy" Wheeler.
STOCKTON - Officials confirmed Tuesday through DNA test results that human remains recently unearthed in Calaveras County are those of murder victims Cyndi Vanderheiden and Chevelle "Chevy" Wheeler.
Also Tuesday, a local legislator said she doesn't want the $90,000 cost already incurred to excavate remains from a Linden well to hamper further searching for more victims of serial killers Wesley Shermantine and Loren Herzog.
And a new letter Shermantine, 45, sent from death row boasts that he's now grabbed the world's attention by revealing three burial locations. He says he won't give up any more sites until he receives at least part of the money promised to him.
"I'll give (the) last two areas and we'll recover all Herzog's victim's," he wrote in the Feb. 13 letter to The Record. "I will not send people on a fool's search. That's just not my character."
Shermantine was sentenced to death in 2001 for four murders, yet he maintains he never killed anybody. He blames the killings on Herzog, who hanged himself last month at age 46 upon learning that Shermantine had begun to give up details.
Shermantine began sending detailed letters and hand-drawn maps to The Record in December. Following his tips, San Joaquin and Calaveras county deputies on Feb. 9 found Vanderheiden's remains in remote Calaveras County.
The next day, searchers located Wheeler's in the same area off Leonard Road near San Andreas. Remains on the third day found in the Flood Road well in eastern San Joaquin County have yet to be identified.
Shermantine was prompted by Sacramento bounty hunter Leonard Padilla, who agreed to pay the inmate $33,000 for the information. Padilla said he's preparing to send the first $2,000 money order to San Quentin State Prison.
It could take two or three weeks for it to hit Shermantine's books, Padilla said. With the money, Shermantine wishes to pay off his restitution, buy his late parents memorial stones and have spending money for comforts on death row.
Shermantine said in his most recent letter to The Record that he's holding out any new details until he's paid, but he has made a string of recent phone calls to Padilla, trying to describe the location of two more wells.
In those wells east of Linden, Shermantine says that searchers can expect to find a dozen more victims.
"He didn't know anything about the well they were digging up," Padilla said.
A lone bulldozer operator Tuesday from San Joaquin County Public Works finished filling in the gaping hole where searchers had pulled roughly 1,000 bone and skull fragments along with clothes, a purse and jewelry.
Garcia said investigators are now deciding their next move.
Making a rough cost estimate, Garcia said that by the end of last week the search cost $43,134 in overtime pay. Straight-time costs have yet to be figured, and the Sheriff's Office hasn't received its bill from Public Works.
But he estimated that, so far, the search has cost $90,000.
Don't stop the search now, said Assemblywoman Cathleen Galgiani, D-Stockton.
She fears the cost - especially in these trying times - will influence Sheriff Steve Moore to delay or stall further searches. It may next require ground-penetrating radar or expensive satellite imagery to find more abandoned wells, she said.
To encourage more searches - and more relief to victims' families - Galgiani said she has introduced legislation that will allow San Joaquin County and other agencies to dip into the state's general fund.
She rationalized putting the bill on the state and not San Joaquin County alone because it appears Shermantine and Herzog stalked victims in other places, such as Modesto and Hayward.
Seeking help from farther afield is not yet an option, Garcia said.
He said Moore has not asked for help from the FBI because the case does not fall within federal jurisdiction. The office has sought - and received - assistance from the state's Department of Justice, Garcia said.
"As our investigation continues, if additional resources are needed and the FBI can provide those resources, absolutely, we would be in contact with them," Garcia said.
But with the remains of Vanderheiden and Wheeler confirmed, their families can now begin to make funeral arrangements. Both families have said they intend to cremate what remains they are given.

Double Green Shopping Bag Sewing Pattern
This bag is "double green" because it not only dispenses with the unnecessary plastic bags from the store but it reuses blue jeans.
Temporarily Out of Stock -

Now that I got my pattern I can cut all the blue jeans that I have laying around. We do crafts so we are going to use them instead of buying bags. Looks really easy to make.
October 23, 2014
This pattern was helpful with instruction for obtaining large pieces of denim from older jeans. After my first bag, I continued to throw together several others using the principles of this patterns instruction. On my busy schedule I was still able to make a bag in a day. No lining in instructions, not really necessary for a shopping bag anyway. Fun!
February 27, 2014
I got this pattern just before Christmas and I have made 5 for family and friends already. They all love the bags. I have a feeling I will be getting alot more jeans from them, because they will want more.

STOCKTON - Illegal fireworks are believed to be the cause of Thursday night's three-alarm fire at a 91-year-old Stockton box-making plant that was still smoldering 12 hours later at Miner Avenue and North A Street.
STOCKTON - Illegal fireworks are believed to be the cause of Thursday night's three-alarm fire at a 91-year-old Stockton box-making plant that was still smoldering 12 hours later at Miner Avenue and North A Street.
No buildings were destroyed, but product loss was estimated in the millions of dollars for manufacturer M. Calosso and Son, Stockton Fire Battalion Chief Matt Duaime said. Hundreds of shrink-wrapped pallets of molded cardboard trays used for packing apples, peaches and potatoes were stored outside and either burned or were damaged by smoke or water.
"It was going like a bomb when we got here," Duaime said Friday morning near a smoking pile of cardboard trays after being on scene all night. Firefighters continued to pour water on hot spots, and Duaime said an engine was expected to remain through this morning.
"This was not the result of poor housekeeping or inventory. It was the result more likely of fireworks," Duaime said, pointing to spent bottle rockets and the remains of other illegal fireworks littering North A Street.
"For us, it's a save. We didn't lose the building. But for the owner, it's a total loss. It's very likely he would have lost the whole building," Duaime said.
A woman who lives directly across North A Street from the box plant said she called 911 sometime after 9 p.m. to report the blaze.
Michelle Barragan, 33, the mother of five, said flames were reaching higher than the tops of the industrial buildings. As firefighters arrived, more than a dozen children and young people were still lighting off illegal flying fireworks from North A Street, she said.
"They were lighting fireworks on this side and that side, then we saw fire coming from the building. I still can't believe they had the nerve to light them off while the Fire Department was still here. I was really scared. I was afraid for my kids. It was really, really scary," said Barragan, whose home is an older wood-frame structure.
"This is just awful. This is a quiet street, normally. I feel so bad for the owners," she said. In addition to concern for her own house and children, Barragan wanted to know what happened to two older black dogs she had seen regularly guarding the property.
A man identified as a manager for Calosso said the company would have no comment on the fire.
Duaime said due to the nature of the fire, it's highly unlikely they will determine a point of origin or be able to pinpoint a cause. He said much of the product that was destroyed was bound for the highly perishable peach harvest in the Fresno area.
In 2007, The Record reported that M. Calosso and Son manufactured boxes for asparagus, cherry, bell pepper, peach, apple, tomato, squash, eggplant, potato, walnut and other growers and packers from Sacramento to Fresno. It also makes custom boxes and displays for wineries and other industries.
The company was founded in 1924 by Lorenzo Calosso and is now operated by his grandson Mike. The company is believed to have between 30 and 35 employees who had taken the holiday off.
Barragan said the first fire engines arrived less than two minutes after her call. At one point, 12 fire crews were at the scene and the Fire Department called in seven county fire crews to help cover the remainder of the city, including two other smaller structure fires, Duaime said.

They say that students live exciting lives. This is only partly true. How can one's life be exciting if your professors team up against you every single time with dozens of assignments? An essay on history, a research paper on economics, a book review on literature in a never-ending loop? It doesn't have to be this way you know. Paper writing should come with an interest and involvement. Otherwise, it will hardly be a success.

The city's test run of a lane reduction along Northwest Eighth Avenue is scheduled to begin Sunday.
The city's test run of a lane reduction along Northwest Eighth Avenue is scheduled to begin Sunday.
Eastbound and westbound traffic will go from two lanes in each direction to one on the stretch between Northwest 23rd Street and Northwest 31st Drive. The road also will be marked with in-street bicycle lanes.
The plan includes a striped median area. Some roadway barricades also will be set up. The cost for materials such as signs, paint and barricades is $12,000.
From Northwest 31st Drive to Northwest 34th Street, traffic will remain two lanes in each direction. For eastbound traffic, there will be a left turn lane onto Northwest 31st Drive.
Assistant Public Works Director Phil Mann said the city will collect data on vehicle travel times, pedestrian and bicycle usage and vehicle counts from the start of the test design through the end of November.
It remains to be seen when the roadway will go back to two lanes in each direction or if a majority of the commission might decide to keep this test design in place until a road resurfacing project on Northwest Eighth Avenue begins, likely in early 2015.
Meanwhile, a long-discussed county road project on the major east-west corridor to the north, Northwest 16th/23rd Avenue, is expected to begin at the end of this year. That's expected to push more traffic to Northwest Eighth.
In May, the City Commission voted 6-1 to experiment with the design on Northwest Eighth Avenue. At that time, the majority of commissioners indicated they would like to make the lane reduction on the roughly seven-tenth mile stretch permanent as part of the future road resurfacing, which will cover 3.3 miles from Northwest Sixth Street to Northwest 40th Drive.
Current cost projections are in the range of $2.8 million to $3.2 million.
At that May meeting, Commissioner Todd Chase cast the dissenting vote and Mayor Ed Braddy was elected but not yet sworn in. Both oppose the lane reduction.
Commissioner Susan Bottcher, who lives in the area, said the stretch of Northwest Eighth Avenue that runs between the two tracts of Loblolly Woods Nature Park has become a "linear park" and needs better facilities for pedestrians and cyclists while slowing speeding vehicles.
"There's always that element that likes to make it an issue of cars versus bikes and pedestrians," Bottcher said, "but I think they can coexist."
A consultant's study concluded that a lane reduction would extend a vehicle's travel time by 18 seconds while driving that stretch.
Bottcher said that while she favors a permanent lane reduction, she also supports a test run of the design to collect data and see if the impact on traffic is as "detrimental" as some opponents say. If it is, she said the commission will have to decide whether to reconsider the lane configuration.
Braddy said the commission majority is making changes for the benefit of cyclists and pedestrians and to the detriment of the drivers along a stretch of road that sees more than 15,000 vehicle trips a day. He said he thinks the lane reduction will push traffic onto neighborhood streets.
"My hope and my intention is that it is just a temporary thing," he said.

Scheuten family
Scheuten, a Mennonite family of Krefeld, named from the farm "uf der Schutten" in the parish of München-Gladbach. Daem (Adam) Scheuten (1607-81) came to Krefeld in 1654, became a citizen there in 1679; he was a dealer in linen. As lay preachers of the Krefeld congregation mention should be made of his son Adam (1639-68) and his grandson Leonard Ewalds (d. 1743). His grandson Adam Scheuten (1697-1765), married to Aletta von der Leyen (1699-1757), the sister of Friedrich (1701-78) and Heinrich van der Leyen (1708-82), was a versatile industrialist in Krefeld. With his brothers Johann (1699-1757) and Hermann (1702-49) he was engaged in distilling brandy and vinegar, curing tobacco (a business he probably acquired with his wife's dowry); they also established a linseed oil plant and manufactured starch and barley grits. He also sold silk goods manufactured by his brothers-in-law, and built a warehouse in Essenberg (on the Rhine, opposite Ruhrort) in 1743 for better disposal of his wares. In the list of taxpayers in Krefeld he ranked among the most highly assessed, second only to his brothers-in-law. His grandson Adam Wilhelm Scheuten (1753-1801) endowed by bequest the "Scheutensche Lehranstalt," which later became the Krefeld Realgymnasium. The male line of the family died out in 1914. "Sammlung Scheuten" is a collection of genealogical notes on the history of the old Mennonite families of Krefeld, an important and reliable source, probably begun by Abraham Scheuten (1707-89), who was also a lay preacher, a grandson of Daem.

Tiger Woods said long ago he would give up golf when he felt he could play his best and still not win.
That includes his lifetime invitation to the Masters.
"Let me put it to you this way," Woods said last week at his World Challenge. "I'm not going to beat Arnold's record. I'm not playing that long, that's for sure."
Palmer set a record in 2004 by playing in his 50th consecutive Masters. Woods won his first green jacket when he was 21, and with reasonable health (a big assumption considering his injuries), he would seem to be in the best position to break that record. Even with his injuries, the Masters is the one major Woods has never missed.
He just doesn't appear the least bit interested in that kind of a record.
"For me, I always want to win," he said. "So if I can't win, why tee it up? That's just my own personal belief. And I know what it takes to prepare to win and what it takes to go out there and get the job done, and there's going to become a point in time where I just can't do it anymore. We all as athletes face that moment. I'm a ways from that moment in my sport, but when that day happens, I'll make a decision and that's it."
But for Woods or any golfer, it's tough to know when that day happens.
Palmer never won another PGA Tour event after the Bob Hope Classic in 1973, though he remained competitive for many years. Several players eligible for the Champions Tour are hesitant about moving on.
When is it time?
"In golf, you can still win golf tournaments in your 50s, and guys have done it," Woods said. "Probably the more difficult thing is that you can still finish top 10, top five, but you're probably just not quite as efficient as you need to be to win golf tournaments. But you can still be there."
Might he change his mind about the Masters as he gets older? It doesn't sound like it.
"Mellowing on that? No. I'll be on that first tee starting out the event, I'm sure," he said with a smile and a dose of sarcasm. "So I mean, you hit a good drive and you can't get to where you can see the flag? I don't know why it's even fun."
STENSON AWARD: Henrik Stenson has won the Golf Writers Trophy from the Association of Golf Writers, awarded to the top golfer who was born or lives in Europe, along with European teams. Stenson became the first player this year to win the FedEx Cup on the PGA Tour and the Race to Dubai on the European Tour.
Nearly two-thirds of the AGW members made Stenson their first choice on a ballot that included U.S. Open champion Justin Rose and Europe's Solheim Cup team that won on American soil for the first time.
Stenson was the first Swedish male to win the award. Annika Sorenstam won the award twice.
"I'm looking forward to getting a few of these trophies I've won into the summer house in Sweden," said Stenson, who primarily lives at Lake Nona in Orlando, Fla. "It has been such a great year that I can have a few in Europe and a few in my house in America. What a great thrill it is going to be over Christmas to sit by the fire with my family and take stock of the season, look at trophies such as this one and reflect on the year of my life."
IN THE BAG: Jack Nicklaus won't have a bouquet of head covers in his bag when he plays the PNC Father-Son Challenge this weekend, though the 14 clubs in his bag have changed from his prime.
Nicklaus said when he played on the PGA Tour he carried a driver and a 3-wood, a 1-iron through a 9-iron, pitching wedge, sand wedge and putter.
"Now I've got a driver, a 3-wood, a 4-wood and a 5-wood," he said last week in a conference call. "I'm not a big hybrid guy, although I'm playing with one right now and I took out the 2-iron. That's pretty much where I am. I'm usually a 3-iron through 9-iron, pitching wedge and sand wedge. I don't know if that's 14 or 15 (clubs), but it'll be 14 when I tee it up."
No other player hit more memorable shots with a 1-iron than Nicklaus, a club that featured in three of his majors — the 1972 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, the 1975 Masters and the 1967 U.S. Open at Baltusrol.
But there were times when he benched the 1-iron.
"I used to even go to Augusta when I carried a 1-iron a lot, and sometimes I'd put in maybe a 4- or 5-wood, simply because you needed some elevation to stop it on the greens and some of the lies you played," Nicklaus said.
THE HANEY SHOW: Hank Haney has gone from writing a book on his years with Tiger Woods to hosting his own radio show on SiriusXM.
The radio network continues to beef up its programming. It already has shows for Henrik Stenson and Ian Poulter, along with two-time Masters champion, architect and golf savant Ben Crenshaw. Haney will host "Hank Haney Golf Radio," an instructional-based show that will air Saturday and Sunday at 10 a.m. ET starting on Jan. 3.
The program will be geared around Haney's teaching philosophy, and he will take calls from listeners who want help with their games. Haney also will offer his analysis on today's players and take on current topics, which are sure to include Woods.
"This show will be truly interactive and I'm eager to speak with golfers across the country," Haney said.
TWEETING TIGER: Jason Dufner jokingly tweeted to Tiger Woods that the schedule of the World Challenge be changed so Dufner could watch Auburn in the SEC title game last week. Woods replied on Twitter, "Petition denied."
It was a significant only because it was Woods' first tweet in more than a month. It was his 35th tweet in the span of a year, most of them commercially related. And that Dufner tweet was the first of — get this — FIVE tweets in two days.
"I'm hot, aren't I?" Woods said.
Woods said girlfriend Lindsey Vonn is trying to persuade him to tweet more. Progress remains slow.
"I grew up in a different era, and it's a little bit different for me," Woods said, who is 9 years older than the downhill ski champion. "I'm still a little bit old-school. I'm kind of getting it, but still not grasping the whole concept yet. But I'll get there eventually."
DIVOTS: K.J. Choi donated his $100,000 from the World Cup to help with relief efforts in the Philippines. "I wanted to represent Korea in sharing the sentiment of my fellow countrymen to our friends in the Philippines," Choi said. "I send my deepest condolences to the people of the Philippines who have lost their families and homes. The donation from the KJ Choi Foundation was sent to the American Red Cross. … Redstone Golf Club is now called "Golf Club of Houston" under a contractual requirement when it changed ownership. It still is host of the Shell Houston Open, the final PGA Tour event before the Masters. … Cal coach Steve Desimone has been selected U.S. captain of the Palmer Cup next year. The Palmer Cup, matches between college players from the United States and Europe, will be June 26-28 at Walton Heath.
STAT OF THE WEEK: The 19 tournaments Tiger Woods played this year offered an average of 72.7 world ranking points to the winner.
FINAL WORD: "Driving accuracy far outweighs distance. And I sleep better at night knowing that." — Zach Johnson. He was No. 8 in driving accuracy on the PGA Tour last year and No. 153 in driving distance.

The Bread of Angels: A Journey to Love and Faith
By Stephanie Saldaña (Anchor Books, 2011)
The Arab Spring, which began in Tunisia and spread into Egypt and Libya, has become a seemingly inexorable movement. With the late-summer protests in Syria and Qaddafi's fall in Libya, Stephanie Saldaña's memoir of her 2004-2005 Fulbright year in Syria is timely and welcome.
Saldaña, a Mexican American Catholic from San Antonio, Texas, spent several years in the Middle East as a journalist after college, returned to study at Harvard Divinity School, and was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to study in Syria just after the United States had invaded Iraq and President George W. Bush had added Syria to the infamous "axis of evil." Her arrival in Damascus corresponded with the stream of Iraqi refugees fleeing to this ancient capital.
Having been in the Middle East during other periods of war and tension, Saldaña told herself that this time she would "come as a student, not someone who gets caught up in the story." Fortunately, she did not really succeed.
What makes Saldaña's memoir compelling are precisely the stories, her own to be sure, but also the stories of those living in Damascus. Her landlord is a colorful, dignified Armenian Orthodox Christian known as "the Baron." As the year progresses, Saldaña makes friends with a sheikha who tutors her in the Qur'an and then invites her to come to the madrassa to share her Christian stories with the girls and women. There is also Hassan, an Iraqi refugee, artist, and poet who was once a professor in Baghdad and now paints cheap pictures at a street kiosk for tourists.
In Arabic the word for "home" is the same word used for a line of poetry; Saldaña writes that Arab poets speak of making a home in poetry. Her memoir has the qualities of both: with a lyrical pen, she tells of the ordinary details of Syrian life. Not turning away from tension and suffering, she is able to bring light to the life and love that endure.

Roselle mayor candidates have sights on downtown development
Challengers attack Smolinski over lack of development
Editor's note: Story was amended Jan. 30 to correct an error in the size of Roselle's budget shortfall.
Longtime Roselle Mayor Gayle Smolinski is defending her record against two challengers in the April election who say the city's approach to downtown development lacks vision.
Candidates James Banks and Jim Schelling told the Daily Herald Editorial Board they would work to unite residents and involve them in setting a path for growth.
"In getting out there and talking with people, that was probably the number one complaint: What's going on with downtown?" Schelling said. "That's definitely one of the perceived problems of the residents."
Smolinski, who's been mayor since 1993, is seeking her sixth term in the April 9 election. She said a "lack of understanding" feeds into the idea the city isn't doing its best to attract merchants.
"People who say there's no vision or we haven't moved forward or we need change might have been sleeping for the past 20 years," she said. "There certainly has been a lot of change, and it's always been a balancing act of keeping the small-town feel, keeping the community that people move to town for, and yet growing our own economy, the way we look, and the way we do business."
Smolinski pointed to the addition of a downtown Starbucks in recent years as one long-sought victory. The city spent five years trying to recruit the coffee giant, she said, adding Roselle can be a tough sell for major commercial establishments because of its proximity to Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, Stratford Square Mall in Bloomingdale and the bustling Barrington and Irving Park roads.
Although Roselle faces a $56,000 budget shortfall this year, Smolinski said it continues to see revenues increase thanks to a downtown tax-increment-financing district that expired in December, boosting annual taxes from $30,000 to about $1.5 million.
"I consider that growth," she said.
But Banks, a lawyer and former Chicago police officer, contended little else is being done and said the city needs to be "more proactive in getting businesses into our community."
"I've been here 10 years, and I waited 10 years for that Starbucks," he said. "Mayor Smolinski said she was trying to get them in there for five years, but what about the five years before that? We have a clock tower that can't tell time and a lot of empty storefronts. We're really lacking in vision for a nice downtown."
Schelling, a manager for chemical maker Rochester Midland, and Banks each said they would use their community ties to increase transparency and get more residents involved in the decision-making process.
Roselle village board member Ronald Baker, who also is running for mayor, did not participate in the editorial board session and did not return calls and emails seeking details about his candidacy.
