Acura became one of the most trusted names in premium automobile manufacturing. Owned and manufactured by the Japanese Honda Motor Corporation, Acura serves as the Honda luxury line. Acura is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, with the North American operations plant and headquarters located in Torrance, Calif.
Acura was specifically designed for the United States market with secondary goals for the smaller Canadian market. Acura became the first Japanese luxury model, designed to compete in North America with European makes such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW. After a successful North American campaign and brand introduction in the mid-1980s Acura was introduced to the Hong Kong automotive market in 1991. Since then Acura expanded offerings to China and Mexico, where many Central and South American drivers travel to purchase it.
Introduced to the American and Canadian public in 1986 and offered through joint Honda-Acura dealerships, the first Japanese luxury automobiles enjoyed an immediate spike in popularity and boasted impressive sales. The brand used the slogan, "Acura. Precision Crafted Performance." The welcoming of Acura within North America served as a catalyst to hasten the development of Japanese luxury lines namely Lexus, the premium offering from the Toyota Motor Corporation, and Infiniti offered by Nissan.
The Acura Legend was a car jointly developed by Honda and the Austin Rover Group of Great Britain. The result became the luxury flagship of the Acura brand. Additionally, Acura offered the Integra, a sporty hatchback designed to catch the eye of city dwellers and drivers who preferred a more compact design.
By 1990, Acura was outselling Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Lexus at a tremendous rate. The Acura Legend served as the best-selling luxury automobile in the United States.
The 1990s saw a peak and eventual decline in sales as Acura introduced the Acura NSX high performance sports car as well as the Acura Vigor performance sedan. The Integra received a drastic redesign making it incredibly popular with "tuners" and race enthusiasts. However the end of the decade proved to be a challenge to the North American Acura market.
In response to the decline in sales Acura engineers and the various design teams offered redesigns to the popular models while introducing the popular TL, RSX, and MDX from 2000 to 2004. The crossover MDX became the game changer as every automotive manufacturer scrambled to compete. It was widely considered the cream of the crop among all other vehicles in its crossover class and soared to the top of several car magazine "best of" lists. Acura proved to be popular in the 21st century as the premium automotive manufacturer continues to diversify and collect awards for innovation and design.
Acura was originally introduced with two models: the Legend and the Integra. In the past 25 years the company diversified to meet the demands of consumers and changing automotive trends.
The Acura Legend served as the flagship, luxury automobile for the Honda Motor Corp. and received Motor Trend's Import Car of the Year award in 1991. Along with the Legend, the Acura Integra served to grow the brand. In 1991 the coveted and rare Acura NSX sports car was added to the luxury vehicle family. The following year brought the introduction of the Vigor, a sedan to accompany the Legend.
The CL Coupe was released in late 1996 as a 1997 model. After the introduction of this model Acura began to refocus the company direction and no other models were introduced until 2000 when the MDX luxury crossover SUV was launched.
From 2000 to 2010 Acura introduced several models including some of auto maker's best sellers. In 2002, the Integra was replaced by the RSX. In 2004, the Acura TL was introduced, a model that eventually earned the title of "Consumer's Most Wanted." .
In 2005, the TSX was introduced offering competition to the BMW 3 Series with the CDX being released the year after. Redesigns have continued from 2007 to the present. In 2012, the ZDX crossover debuted.
Acura remains one of the top-selling luxury brands in the United States and Canada and many of the models, even the discontinued models of the 1980s, 90s, and early 21st century are still very popular among Acura loyalists. Two of the most popular and sought after Acura models are the NSX and Integra.
In terms of buying new and certified-used Acura models, there are various powertrain warranties and services that give Acura owners peace of mind. These warranties and services have long served as key selling points for the luxury automotive brand. Additionally, Acura offers in-house financing options to its customers.

Family feud
For one of Doneta and Aaron Kaeck's three children, winning isn't everything but working to beat your older brother is the only thing.
While 14-year-old Josee says she would like to win with the best lamb during the Auglaize County Sheep Show, the best thing that could happen to her during the event would be to beat her 17-year-old brother, Jordan.
"I try to help her," Jordan said before Josee interjects with a teasing air, "I don't like him to and he'll say I think I know it all. Really I just like showing my brother up."
Despite the comment, Josee brings water and feed for her two lambs in her pen as well as Jordan's lambs in his pen next to hers. He is a member of the Wapakoneta FFA, while she is a member of Waynesfield All-Around Livestock.
They then start a verbal challenge to each other — one brewing for years and already extending into the next year. While Josee has already shown her two ewes, Jordan, who has shown his ewe, prepares to show his wether.
"Next year we are bringing breeder sheep and I will win," Jordan said, issuing the challenge to his sister.
"Next year we all will be entering the open show and then we will see who is better," Josee said, referring to Jordan and their older sister, Chelsea, and then pointing to herself.
The competition between the Kaecks starts months earlier when they pick out lambs from their parent's operation in February to show at the Auglaize County Fair. Their lambs are born and raised in Auglaize County.
"I just pick out the one I believe will do well at the fair," Jordan said. "I look at how well I think they will fill out. This one was big in the front shoulders and the rump so I picked him and then I would let my sister pick the next best one — next year she gets to pick first.
"You just hope they develop the way you think they will from when you pick them in February to the end of July," he said. "He still has some big shoulders and nice ribs, but I've looked around and there are some really good lambs here. You just look for which lamb will have good meat quality in the end."
While the competitive blood still flows between the two, another tradition has stopped. Jordan and Josee do not name their lambs anymore as they did before with their sister, Chelsea's lambs.
"We figured out they die at the end of the fair," Josee said, "so we stopped naming them because we became too attached to them. It was a few years ago that we figured out where our older sister Chelsea's lambs were going after the fair when we watched them get loaded on a truck."
The pair said that the first time they realized where the lambs were going they had a hard time eating meat for the next month.
The siblings' competitive fires do not end at the show ring.
They also compete athletically with Jordan, who will be a senior at Wapakoneta High School, hitting the diamond as a second baseman on the varsity baseball team, while Josee, who will be attending the school but is in the eighth-grade, can be found on the softball diamond.
Jordan also wrestles during the winter, while Josee plays soccer on the pitch during the fall.
Down from the Kaecks, Kaylee Katterhenry moves quickly to place a cover on one lamb she just showed and prepares her other lamb with a walking bridle.
The 13-year-old Memorial Middle School student is just in her second year and already has placed first in one class and shows another who places second. This year she brought Cooper and Chubs.
The daughter of Mindi Pond and Nick Katterhenry developed the desire to show by attending the fair and watching her friends.
"I always was at the fair and I just decided I wanted to start showing sheep because my friends showed them," Kaylee said. "Ali Muir and Caitlyn Schaub showed so I wanted to try and show them, too."
She was already at the fair showing horses and cattle, so adding another animal and another ring came naturally. Having shown the two large animals helps in knowing what the judges want with the smaller lambs.
"I like to show lambs and how well you do really depends on how you present the lamb," Kaylee said. "Prior to the fair, we run them a lot to get their muscle mass up and we work with them and walk with them a lot so they are comfortable and do well in the ring."
When she picks her lambs, she looks for muscle, a wide front and hindquarters and leg hair. After months of training, she brings them to the show ring and then cherishes the experience.
"I just like knowing my hard work pays off in the end," Kaylee said.
She then rushes off to show her next lamb.
For 12-year-old Erin Scott, the fair experience already paid off prior to showing her two wethers. She had the top Rate of Gain lamb when here lamb gained 69 pounds from the first weigh-in, going from 66 pounds to 135 pounds.
The daughter of Beth and Kevin Scott shows her lambs with the two daughters of Heather and Nate Jurosic. They actually keep the lambs at the Jurosic's farm and make the trip twice a day to feed and work with the lambs in the morning and the evening.
Erin said the trips start about a week before the end of the school year and continue up until the fair.
In the show ring, the New Knoxville Middle School student has some tricks of her own.
"I rub their necks and I just talk to them to calm them down," Erin said. "Every once in a while I pick them up or raise them up just a little bit so I can reset their feet and then I brace them as I go down. It forms kind of a triangle so they look good."
She said it depends on the judge how high you can pick them up.
The exhibitors also check the lambs feet and keep the back straight as the judge walks by.
In the end, Erin has one goal in mind and other objectives she likes to meet.
"I really like showing lambs at the fair because they are fun and I like winning," Erin said. "I also like the friendships you make during the fair and just being able to run around and have fun."

About the Salm & Soul CD (Vol III)
"In June 2004, Liverpool Cathedral celebrated its centenary by inviting black gospel singers from London and psalm singers from Gaelic Scotland to the Festival of the Voice. When Calum Martin asked me to join the group I hesitated. 'There are wonderful voices already going! Mine would make little difference!' But Calum is persuasive, his enthusiasm infectious. That glorious event reminded me that there are no coincidences, only God-given opportunities. I returned home with a dream -- Scotland's biggest Cathedral, filled to capacity, black and white together, and voices ringing in the rafters! Echoes of Martin Luther King re-echoed with his avowal that 'one of the great tragedies of life is that men seldom bridge the gulf between doing and saying.'
"And so, a few days later, my dream turned into a proposal which I took to Colin Hynd, director of Glasgow's Celtic Connections Festival. The Salm CD in one hand and a mini-disc from Liverpool in the other, I began, 'You've got to hear this, Colin! Just made for Glasgow Cathedral!' Within minutes the office staff gravitated towards the speakers. The consensus was 'Wow!'.
"Apart from having a keen business sense and an ability to bring Glasgow alive in January, Colin Hynd is gifted with a ready smile and a faith that dreams can come true. Our meeting closed with budget talk: 'OK, a dozen fares from Gaeldom, and, say, another dozen from London? No? What! Then where?' Colin put down the pen and didn't bat an eyelid to hear my 'I don't know yet, but when we hear them we'll know.'
"Two months later, in a little church in Alabama, the precise moment of hearing those voices was absolutely thrilling. No need for words when tears of joy fill the eyes. Calum Martin knew; I knew; we all knew! But transcending the exhilarating sound of voices was a spirit of recognition, not just of how we sing, or how we 'line out', but reaching far beyond to the deepest sense of brotherhood.
"And so it was, in January 2005, thanks to Celtic Connections, we met in Glasgow, brothers and sisters together, black and white together -- Salm and Soul. That night, in Glasgow Cathedral, Martin Luther King's great dream became our daily prayer, that not only America but also the world might experience the transforming power of love and unity.
This is the Lord's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. (Psalm 118 v 23)
--Margaret Bennett, 2005

Arguably one of the 20th century's most beloved designs, the Eames Shell chairs remain a sought after design classic nearly 55 years later. The molded plastic chairs are the result of Charles and Ray's 6 years of experimenting with molded plywood to create a single shell form.
Charles Eames famously said, "The role of the designer is that of a very good, thoughtful host anticipating the needs of his guests." The Molded Shell Chairs fulfill a universal response to what one wants in a chair: so that it could fit every body and any context—a chair that would be equally at home in a museum, living room or business.
The Eames Molded Plastic Dowel-Leg Armchair is back in eight archival colors and plenty of options to customize, including upholstery. This chair, first designed in 1950, continues to be extremely versatile and durable. Making it the perfect fit for an office lounge, living room or children's room.
In the late 1980s, after Ray Eames and Herman Miller had concerns about the long term effects of fiberglass in the environment, they decided to cease production until a more suitable material was found. In 2004 the only Eames Authentic Shell Chairs became available when they were reintroduced in a 100% recyclable polypropylene.
Dimensions: 25" wide, 31" high, 24" deep
Shipping: Armchair is made to order in the USA and takes 8 weeks to ship. Ships via FedEx. You will receive an email within 2-3 business days of your order being placed with the estimated ship date. Please call 1.802.479.9874 ext 243 for assistance.
Furniture can only be sold in the USA. For other countries please locate your local Authorized Herman Miller or Vitra distributor.
Furniture, fabric, and vintage orders are considered custom orders and are non-returnable.

A tournament must satisfy three requirements in order to activate the Challonge Rating System:
1. The tournament must be hosted by an organization.
2. The tournament must be labeled with a game.
3. The tournament must include Challonge users or teams, not just basic text participant names.
Ratings start at 1000 and typically range between 0 and 2850. A rating greater than 2400 is considered "Pro", but remember, it's relative to players within the organization, so don't let it go to your head!
When you play a rated match, the outcome's effect on your rating depends on several factors. In general, however, these three scenarios explain changes in rating:
1. If you're expected to win and you do, you and your opponents ratings won't change much.
2. If you're expected to win but you don't, your rating will drop considerably and your opponent's will rise considerably.
Ratings describe skill level among a group of people relative to each other, and on Challonge, organizations are the logical way to partition these groups of people.
To illustrate this, imagine a local ping pong bar in New York City and a professional table tennis training facility in Beijing. If the New York players never face off against the Beijing players, there's no way to compare skill levels between the two locations. In fact, a 2500 rated New York player might be worse than a 800 rated Beijing player.
The Challonge Rating System is configured to use FIDE settings. This means that the following values are used when rating a match:
Normal K-Factor: 15
Starting Player Rating: 1000
Pro Player Threshold: 2400
Beginner Player Game Boundary: 30
With FIDE Settings, the K-factor can fluctuate for new or pro players:
New Player (<30 games played): 25
Normal Player: 15
Pro Player: 10

The developers of a proposed Baltimore casino are in talks with a multibillion-dollar investment group to provide cash for the slow-starting project, according to sources familiar with the discussions.
The Baltimore City Entertainment Group included the name of York Capital Management on a letter sent last week that sought to reassure the state slots commission that the 3,750-slot-machine project is moving forward.
York has hired the prominent Annapolis lobbying firm Alexander & Cleaver, which includes former House Speaker Casper R. Taylor Jr., to work on its Maryland efforts. Taylor and his partners are assisting York with "economic development projects including [slot machine] locations," according to lobbyist registration forms filed Monday.
If it gels, the partnership could be vitally important for the city casino group, which has missed several self-imposed deadlines for paying $19.5 million in required fees. Under state law, the group would be required to spend at least $187.5 million on construction if it secures a slot machine license.
Impatient state officials have raised the possibility of rejecting the Baltimore group's license application and seeking new bidders if it can't demonstrate it can complete the project.
One of York's managing partners bailed out of Maryland's horse-racing industry in the 1990s.
Before joining York in 2008, Luis Medeiros was managing director of Leucadia National Corp., which in 1998 purchased substantial shares of both Pimlico Race Course and Laurel Park at a time when they were in financial danger. Medeiros, who works out of York Capital's Washington office, could not be reached Tuesday.
A spokesman for York also declined to comment. The company's Web site says it was founded in 1991 and manages more than $9 billion in assets for institutions, individuals and others.
Robert R. Neall, a former state senator and member of the panel awarding Maryland's five slots licenses, expressed skepticism about the Baltimore group's latest supposed partner.
"The posture we've taken is, until the money lands on our desk, it's not real," Neall said. "We've gone around this barn entirely too many times for me to get excited that someone is floating a name."
The Baltimore group's delays are another sign that tax revenues from the fledgling gambling program could be further out on the horizon than anticipated.
Maryland voters approved five casinos last fall. State lawmakers pitched the gambling program as a way to save horse racing and bolster education funding.
The cash-strapped state could receive tens of millions of dollars in taxes from the facilities. Baltimore's elected leaders are also hungry for the expected gaming revenues, which Mayor Sheila Dixon says would fuel a seven-cent reduction in the city's property tax rate.
Three licenses have been awarded, and one site - at Rocky Gap State Park in Western Maryland - attracted no complete bids when applications were due in February.
The commission has asked the Baltimore developers to give a presentation Thursday - at its final meeting of the year - about why an extension should be granted.
"We have expressed concerns repeatedly about the unmet promises for plans and the licensing fee," said Donald C. Fry, chairman of the slots commission. "It has been increasingly frustrating to us."
He called Thursday's presentation "critically important."
The Baltimore group initially said it would build a 500-machine parlor, but city officials said the low revenues from that proposal made such a project unworkable. The developers said they would amend their plans to expand slot machines sixfold, but have not paid the fees associated with the higher number.
Toronto-based developer Michael Moldenhauer, who has a 93 percent stake in the Baltimore venture, declined to comment Tuesday. Other principals in the group either declined to comment or did not return calls or e-mails.
M.J. "Jay" Brodie, president of Baltimore Development Corp., said the Baltimore City Entertainment Group is in "serious talks" with an investor, though he cautioned that such talks do not always lead to a deal. He said the representatives from BCEG are speaking with city officials daily.
The entertainment group also has had conversations with Las Vegas gambling giant Harrah's, according to sources familiar with the discussions. Gary Thompson, a spokesman for Harrah's, would not confirm those talks. "We typically don't discuss who we are talking to," he said.
"Whenever a new jurisdiction opens up, we always take a look at expanding our footprint," Thompson said. "There is a lot of study that has to take place."
Moldenhauer is also attempting to build a racino with 600 slot machines in New Mexico, and has said a temporary gaming facility will open at the end of January.
New Mexico Gaming Board spokesman Greg Saunders said little progress has been made at the site, near the Colorado border northeast of Albuquerque. "They've moved some dirt around," he said, "but no construction has occurred."
The other large proposed casino in Maryland is also on hold.
This month, the state slots commission approved a license for a facility at Arundel Mills, but the developers, the Cordish Cos., have yet to obtain necessary zoning approval. The Anne Arundel County Council, which is divided about slots, has delayed voting on the issue for months. It is set to take up the matter next week.
David Cordish has also submitted a bid for Laurel Park, which is being auctioned next month because its owners are bankrupt. Another interested party, Baltimore lawyer and Orioles owner Peter G. Angelos, did not submit a bid for the track, said John Franzone, chairman of the Maryland Racing Commission.
Baltimore Sun reporters Laura Smitherman and Andrea Walker contributed to this article.

It took about two weeks for 12-year-old hockey player Ash Kolstad to recover from his first concussion after taking a hit and smashing his head on the ice. Five years after his second concussion, though, the daily pounding headaches haven't gone away.
A Calgary physician who is refusing to prescribe birth control to patients at a walk-in clinic in the city's southwest may not be fulfilling her obligation to patient health, say experts in medical ethics. "I think this doctor may be, because of her religious attitudes, unable to meet an important range of patients' health needs," said Arthur Schafer, director of the Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics at the University of Manitoba, and a former head of the university's biomedical ethics section.
Women have another reason to exercise: It may help prevent kidney stones. You don't have to break a sweat or be a super athlete, either. Even walking for a couple hours a week can cut the risk of developing this painful and common problem by about one-third, a large study found.
Don't take the cinnamon challenge. That's the advice from doctors in a new report about a dangerous prank depicted in popular YouTube videos but which has led to hospitalizations and a surge in calls to U.S. poison centres.
CALGARY — The Alberta company at the centre of the country's biggest ever beef recall fired back Thursday at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for its suggestion there had been delays in handing over test data that later revealed contaminated product was slipping through undetected. XL Foods Inc. broke its media silence to say meat from the Brooks plant was always quarantined for at least 18 hours while tests for a potentially fatal bacteria were done and the results analyzed.
Only one-third of Canadians will admit to being "very" or "somewhat" overweight, despite national statistics that indicate the true proportion of overweight Canadians is approaching double that.
Janelle Foligno still fights the unrelenting 'voice' that led her to develop an eating disorder.
They're more likely than boys to wish they were someone else and to feel depressed or low on a weekly basis, or more. According to a new national study, Canadian girls are experiencing substantially higher levels of emotional problems and less emotional well-being than boys.
Rita, a 47-year-old financial adviser, was trying to shed some unwanted pounds and drop her blood cholesterol.Like many people, she vowed to give up carbohydrates such as pasta and bread, which had seemed to help her lose weight in the past.
Canadian scientists appear to have proven that you can, in fact, run away from old age.
Canada's leading multiple sclerosis scientists and researchers have recommended there be no Canadawide clinical trials of a controversial treatment for the disease because of the overwhelming lack of scientific evidence on the procedure's safety.
It's not addictive, it's easy to take and 50 years of use shows it's safe. So why do women still need a prescription for the birth-control pill?

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said in an interview Wednesday that he was uncertain how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, own.Obama doesn't wait to make this an issue:
"I think — I'll have my staff get to you," McCain told Politico in Las Cruces, N.M. "It's condominiums where — I'll have them get to you."
The correct answer is at least four, located in Arizona, California and Virginia, according to his staff. Newsweek estimated this summer that the couple owns at least seven properties.
I like this ad: it's truthful and likely to resonate well in this time of housing and mortgage insecurity. I'm glad to finally see someone making the point that the guy who owns eleven homes, wears $520 shoes, flies around in a private jet, and thinks that under $5 million is not rich is the one who's the real elitist in this race. I also like the tag line about the one more house we can't let McCain have.
This is also a rather cautious ad. Some counts put McCain's total as high as eleven (here's a nice rundown), but I suspect that Obama didn't want to fall into a gotcha trap, so they went with the easily provable number of seven. I think Ygelsias had the funniest take on it:
[There] is one reason why it's a bit unfair to tag McCain as out of touch for being unable to remember how many homes he owns. When one of your homes is really a combination of two different luxury condos the metaphysical status of your property comes into question. You'd really need to ask a trained professional mereologist to resolve the issue and can't expect McCain to speak to it personally.

All Americans are immigrants. Some arrived ages before there were visas and borders or even countries; most came after. Some arrived against their will; most arrived hungry for what lay ahead. As recounted in thousands of immigrant stories, the first days in the New World could be glorious, dizzying, and upsetting. Opportunity was abundant and freedom exhilarating. But language, laws, and customs could be puzzling. Natives could be brusque. Work could be tedious and dangerous.
When the speed and excess got to be too much, there was always a sanctuary of fellow immigrants, where faith, food, and conversation were familiar. From the outside, Little Italy, Chinatown, and every other ethnic neighborhood could seem strange, even threatening. In the early 20th century, Anglo-Americans worried that immigrants from southern and eastern Europe weren't fitting in. They were creating separate cultures and threatening the status quo. This was not just paranoia. Anarchists and labor activists, many rooted in immigrant communities, challenged the power structure. Criminal groups operated out of ethnic communities. IQ tests appeared to show a gap between native- and foreign-born.
But earlier immigrants had also kept to themselves (Germans in Pennsylvania, Swedes in Minnesota), challenged the power structure (1776 for example), suffered their share of criminality (the Bowery Boys of the 1840s, the outlaws of the West), and were considered less intelligent, motivated, and hygienic than those who arrived before them.
All the while, however, the assimilation engine was running. Music, manners, and food were sampled – gingerly at first, then creatively. Tacos with Vietnamese hot sauce? Why not? Accents altered, friendships kindled, rings were exchanged. It was not always smooth, but year by year families blended, neighborhoods integrated, new citizens voted, and the nation evolved.
As Congress considers legislation that could grant citizenship to millions of people, the question hanging in the air is whether the assimilation engine still works. Scholars such as the late Samuel Huntington of Harvard University and commentators such as Pat Buchanan have warned that the influx of Latin Americans risks dividing the country into two societies. Census data and social-science research – measuring everything from educational achievement to homeownership to intermarriage – say otherwise.
As Stephanie Hanes's report shows (click here), the process of assimilation is far from straightforward, especially among first-generation immigrants. Most flourish, some don't – just like the native born.
"So why is it that some residents in some states with large new immigrant populations believe that integration is not occurring?" asked a 2010 report by the Center for American Progress. "One reason is that new arrivals increased over a short period while assimilation, by definition, can only be observed over time."
If all Americans are immigrants, we all have an immigrant story. My father's parents, for instance, arrived from Italy in the early 20th century; my mother's family was from Germany in the mid-19th century. Along the way, the name got changed. There is no "Y" in the Italian alphabet. So Yemma is an American name – as is Smith, Garcia, Yee, Shapiro, Shaloub, Nguyen, Patel, Obama, and every other name in the American phone book.
If I may speak for them: It isn't always easy becoming an American, but it's always good to be one.

Round 39: Sallie Mae vs eBay/Paypal Image courtesy of
This is Round 39 in our Worst Company in America contest, Sallie Mae vs eBay/Paypal!
This is Round 39 in our Worst Company in America contest, Sallie Mae vs eBay/Paypal!
Here's what readers said in previous rounds about why they hate these two companies…
"Sallie Mae has a program with my university where they let you divide your tuition for a semester up into monthly payments. But they charge you a $14 service charge for any payment made with a credit card! The only free way to pay is to have it automatically taken from a bank account… and we all know how reliable that is. Needless to say, I don't use this payment plan anymore."
"I recently had to change my home phone number due to harassment by SallieMae and the collection agencies they sold a debt to.
Someone has a similar name to mine (only the middle name is different), and they have been bugging me for 6 months. Once I finally got SallieMax to stop calling, they sold the debt to someone, and now THEY won't stop calling.
Problem is, the new collector does not show up on Caller ID (shows up as Name Unavailable 000-000-0000) and they refuse to tell me which company they work for. "
"they have ruined the lives of many of my friends. They use scummy debt collectors, and are more than willing to garnish paychecks that are already too small to live on."
"Was SallyMae also the one that paid bounties to schools that steered loans their way?"
I pay my student loans on time but I still have a horrible time dealing with Sallie Mae for consolidations and other regular issues.
They outsource their customer service overseas. Financial aid is a complicated business that doesn't need to be further complicated by adding cultural barriers. I have no problem with accents, but I have a problem when the person on the other end doesn't understand the concept of "half time grad student in thesis hours."
They also cheated me out of my grace period, refused to tell me why and instead, just threw some economic hardship deferment forms at me to get me to stop asking.
Also, their marketing is insane. I was receiving consolidation offers even after I called to find out I couldn't consolidate until after I graduated!
Now that I'm in repayment I get bombarded by emails about their special programs and services. It's difficult to sift through the crap to figure out what is important.
They don't have to worry about customer service because once they've got us we can't go anywhere else and the government subsidizes them. "
"Way back when I was going to grad school, I decided to take the minimum amount of credits (all credit requirements already met) while working on my dissertation. Sallie Mae (or one of its progenitors) promptly started requiring me to repay my student loan. I called and asked how I could get it postponed. Their rep told me I had to become at least a half-time student. So I added a few more credits (at several hundred dollars a credit). The notices for repayment continued to arrive. I called again and was told being a half-time student didn't entitle me to receive a postponement. I told them I had been told otherwise by one of their reps. They said tough, they couldn't be held responsible for misinformation by their reps. Ended up my paying some $500 (a nice chunk some 20 years ago for a grad student) more than I should have. A really great organization. We're not responsible for any information we might give you."
Sallie Mae is terrible. My wife has student loans through them and while she was still in school, she was constantly bombarded by credit card offers, "deals" on MP3 players and TV's, car ads and freaking LIFE INSURANCE offers.
Now that my wife is out of school, I have begun repaying the loans. The latest thing Sallie Mae emails us constantly about is this thing called UPromise. Basically it supposedly helps you save to pay off your loans by automatically putting aside the change on debit card purchases (so if you spend $2.48, it would put $0.52 in your UPromise account). For me, totally unnecessary, but it would seem on face that this is a genuine program. That is until you really check it out and see that it's just another way to expose you to more ads imploring you to blow your money on anything BUT student loans.
On top of that, Sallie Mae will not automatically withdraw monthly payments from my bank account in excess of their preset payment plans. Surprise, surprise, all of their plans are as close to the minimum payment as possible with no indication that this will end up costing you thousands of dollars during the lifetime of the loan.
I understand they are running a business not a charity, but I just think it's sick the way they prey upon college students and recent college graduates. I would never consider them for any loan of any type ever again."
"I dislike Sallie Mae for the simple fact that they send me TONS of junk mail, even after changing my accounting settings and submitting a request in writing."
"In the early days, eBay used to be a flea market shopper's paradise. I could find one-of-a-kind items sold by honest sellers cleaning out Grandma's attic. Quality homespun niche businesses sold unique items not found in regular retail stores. Items were priced fairly and shipping rates weren't outrageously inflated. Shopping on eBay was fun, additively so.
In recent years, eBay has become an overpriced junk warehouse. Thirty sellers will auction the same "one-of-a-kind" item at a starting bid of $.01, with a bargain basement shipping rate of $24.99.
If anything is left in Grandma's attic, the heirs are selling it at double its value.
Retail chains have an eBay store that only sell merchandise the foot traffic didn't want.
Unscrupulous sellers bait customers in with low prices only to kick them in their Paypal buttocks with sneaky fee-avoiding, high shipping rates.
Paying is no longer your pal. The consumer protection process is so convoluted that by the time eBay gets around to denying your claim, the seller has already begun defrauding other unsuspecting buyers under a new identity anyway.
I used to be an eBay addict. I simply had to browse everyday just in case I missed that special item I didn't know I wanted. Now, it might be four times a year I find myself on eBay…and rarely do I leave having place a bid or purchased something.
Nothing exciting, nothing unique, nothing cheap (unless you are referring to quality). "
"Ebay is Just EVIL, They grew and grew off of their community, bought paypal, and are now Raising their Rates to up to 10% of the value of your listing! INSANE! Their saying its to "improve their website"…. you need BILLIONS to improve your website? I WILL NEVER SHOP EBAY AGAIN after their recent fee changes, They stabbed every customer they had in the back"
I got scammed for a car that arrived with $2000+ of damage off eBay. The auction stated just $400 of damage. Paypal told me I was wrong without asking for my side of the story, or any estimates for that sake. That's enough for me.
A list of the damages stated in the auction: Cracked windshield, broken control arm, minor ding.
Actual (that I told PP about): Cracked camber, rims were scraped/spray painted, rear bumper was painted dark blue (the car was black), Cigarette holes in the back seat, larges holes on drivers side carpet, passenger side rearview mirror was missing, four flat tires.
And they told me that they sided with the seller and not to contact them. When I did I was told that they get many scams on cars from fraudulent buyers.
Boy wish I had the Consumerist back then "
"ebay/paypal no contest. They sent me a letter telling me that they weren't going to credit my account for a fraudulent failure-to-refund (mail fraud was involved) charge.
The first paragraph of the letter said they weren't refunding me.
The second said that Paypal does not support or condone fraud.
Hypocritical idiots, and I'm already working on closing my account (but paypal claims I need to wait for 4 months to pass since the last transaction before being able to close my account. I think that's bullshit).
BTW, I did finally get my money back from my bank. Suck it, paypal. (and I just tried again to close the account and it failed again, and the CSR who claimed he'd close it for me by phone the other day was apparently a liar)"
"EBay is full of scams. In my opinion, one of the more insidious is the hijacked account scam.
Phishers send out millions of emails – "Your eBay account will be suspended"; "There is a problem with your eBay
item", etc. Emails have a "click here to respond" button that asks you to log in.
And that's it. The scammers have a legitimate username and matching password! The account has been hijacked!
Shortly thereafter, up to three dozen one-to-three day listings of very expensive, usually sold at list price electronic, athletic or similar equipment will appear as if for sale by the hijacked account holder. Listings always say: "Email me here (not the eBay contact address) for shipping or buy-it-now or other information".
Those who email are given a spectacular price . . . perhaps 1/3 of list including shipping. They are told that they will receive a payment invoice through eBay's Trust and Safety or similar department and that the transaction is perfectly safe because it is approved by eBay. The seller asks only for name and shipping address.
If the potential buyer asks about PayPal, he is told that the seller's account is temporarily full; or there is a problem; or there is a divorce; or some other reason why he needs to deal directly through eBay.
Shortly afterward, he receives an authentic looking "invoice" from eBay and perhaps a second eBay email stating that they have investigated the transaction and it is safe.
The invoice asks the buyer to send the money by Western Union to somewhere in Europe. Once sent, the money is lost. Gone. Of course, the buyer never receives the purchased item because it never existed.
Everything in this scam is forged: the phishing email; the eBay invoice; the eBay verification letter. Nothing appears in the buyer's eBay inbox because nothing is sent from eBay's own server.
If eBay receives complaints about a listing, it will eventually remove it — perhaps in minutes, perhaps in hours. During that time, the scammer receives email for potential buyers, some of whom will end of sending money by Western Union because the deal is just too good to turn down. The scammers never expect these listings to stay valid for an extended period; just long enough to get some people interested.
A few days latter, the same scammers return with new hijacked accounts and the same listings. Even the "email me here" addresses are the same.
This is a HUGE business. We are talking about $1,000 – $2,000 or more per transaction. In cash.
I believe eBay is part of the problem. They have no organized system to screen for obviously hijacked listings; they frequently leave the listings up even after complaints. More important, it is just too easy to list a sale on eBay. There is no secondary "sale only" password or other verification. Finally, even though these scams leave a mile long electronic trail (including having to show up at a Western Union office somewhere to pick up the money), eBay seems to make minimum, if any attempt, to shut them down.
In my opinion, eBay needs to stop saying: "we are only a venue" and start protecting its customers."
"Paypal freezes your money for no good reason. They regularly screw both buyer and sellers. They claim to have protections but the requirements are so convoluted its nearly impossible to get coverage even if you're trying to follow the steps. They take a huge chunk of the sale price in fees for doing nearly none of the work or risk."
"It isn't a transaction "on eBay". It is a scam that uses hijacked eBay accounts to make offers to people who send them emails. They try to make the buyer think that it is a legitimate transactionthat is approved and escrowed by eBay. Of course, eBay doesn't send out invoices; doesn't approve transactions; doesn't collect or escrow money. But to get a $3,000 computer, audio or other product for only $1,000. Wow! Just send the money by Western Union! Ebay will hold that money until you receive your product!
I understand that there are lots of scams and scammers; and lots of people looking for a bargain. But with very little effort, eBay could shut this whole thing down by responding instantly to reports; by making it harder to list sales (extra password?); and by using the law to go after the scammers."

In January, Diversified Service Options Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida Inc, acquired MAC Highmark Medicare Services (HMS) from its parent company, Highmark Inc. As a result, HMS changed its name to Novitas Solutions Inc. Effective March 10, Novitas Solutions will begin to migrate the current HMS Web site to the new Novitas Solutions Web site, www.novitas-solutions.com. Novitas is targeting completing the name change to all active Web page content by March 30. Although main headers throughout the Web site will be changed, some historical documents, such as Medicare reports issued under HMS, will not be changed to reflect the new name. For users who have bookmarked pages throughout the HMS Web site, an automatic redirect process will send page requests to the correct new Web page. The company recommends that users update the bookmark after being redirected to the new Web page. Comments How do I print attestation statement from the website.

Carmen Posted by carmen vitton on 9/4/2012 4:00 PM I honestly believe The government / Medicare program purposely try and make things complicated for providers in order to try and save money for the government. This whole program has been confusing, complicated and a total joke. They are constantly changing billing software, rules and regulations that no provider can keep up with if they are to provide quality services to the patients. This website is very user unfriendly and frankly the government seems not to care whether of not services are provided to the patients. What a hoax!

A New Decade at Midnight
It's been a decade of personal trials, transitions, and transformations unlike any previous ten-year period. From seemingly insurmountable lows to highs that I'd never dreamed possible, it has been life at its fullest. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Today, with a glorious late-December sun warming a snow-covered landscape, I opted for a blend of traditions and celebrated the New Year a bit early by hanging a new set of flags on the wind. (The traditional date for hanging new prayer flags, the Tibetan New Year, falls on March 5th in 2011.)
From high on the hillsides of Vermont, Happy New Year!

Gentoo VDR own patches
The vdr ebuilds can never be feature-complete and include every patch available somewhere. Because of this fact the possibility to include own patches into VDR was created.
To enable this function one simply creates an the empty directory PATCHDIR somewhere - clearly PATCHDIR has to be replaced by a real directory name.
mkdir -p PATCHDIR
The we tell the ebuild in /etc/make.conf where this directory is located.
For PATCHDIR=/usr/src/vdr-patches it looks like this:
mkdir -p /usr/src/vdr-patches
and in /etc/make.conf
Putting patches there
Inside PATCHDIR one creates a subdirectory which is named after the, to be patched, version of VDR. For vdr-VDR_VERSION:
mkdir PATCHDIR/VDR_VERSION
In this directory the patches are stored. Their name has to have the prefix .diff or .patch.
emergeing VDR
If all goes well it works and gives this output with these patches in PATCHDIR/VDR_VERSION
# ls PATCHDIR/VDR_VERSION mypatch.diff testing-special.diff
at the next time emerging vdr (here vdr-1.3.36):
... >>> Unpacking vdr-1.3.36.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/vdr-1.3.36/work >>> Unpacking vdr-1.3.36-enAIO-2.7.diff.gz to /var/tmp/portage/vdr-1.3.36/work * Changing pathes for gentoo ... [ ok ] * Applying vdr-1.3.34-shutdown-retry.diff ... [ ok ] * Applying vdr-1.3.36-enAIO-2.7.diff ... [ ok ] * Applying vdr-1.3.36-SourceCaps.patch ... [ ok ] * Applying local patches * Applying mypatch.diff ... [ ok ] * Applying testing-special.diff ... [ ok ] >>> Source unpacked. ...
With this posibility to include own patches one has naturally the same problems, the ebuild-makers have. It will never be possible to get all patches playing together nice that they all are applicable.

Browsed through the PHPCoin Force Edition thread and tried to leave a post there but apparently I don't have the correct permission to do it. So I will ask my question here.
Been awhile since I've looked at phpcoin as my version is running just fine on php5.3.29, but I am currently under pressure to upgrade to php 5.5 and was wondering if this fork is stable yet and good for php 5.5?
Has anyone installed it yet and can provide some feedback on its success or lack thereof? Thanks in advance.

What about php 5.4? Will it work with this version as I see some of you have made it work. Just wondering how recent can I go with my php upgrade in order to keep phpcoin working properly?
