Maj. Gen. Dale Meyerrose, Air Force (Ret.), Meyerrose Group
A computer hacker facing up to 20 years in prison is free after helping the federal government stop hundreds of cyberattacks. He taught agencies how to protect millions of dollars and cripple the hacker group Anonymous. Retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Dale Meyerrose was chief information officer for three Air Force commands and three joint combatant commands. He was also the first CIO of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and is now president of the Meyerrose Group. He joined In Depth with Francis Rose to explain what kind of precedence this sets for future cybersecurity policies.

How often does your credit report change?
If you want to be technical about it, you don't really have a credit report on file with the credit reporting agencies to begin with.
This post comes from Gerri Detweiler at partner site Credit.com.
The emails usually come in the form of a slightly panicked plea: "How long will it take my credit report to be updated after I pay off a credit card/settle a collection account/get the IRS to remove a tax lien, etc?"
The writers of those emails will usually go on to explain that they are trying to get a mortgage, auto loan, or some other type of loan, and want to make sure their latest credit report information is considered.
So, how often do credit reports change? Like so many things in life, your credit report can change in the blink of an eye.
"Right now it's 11:40 my time," said Rod Griffin, director of public relations for Experian, when I interviewed him for this story. "Let's say a lender requested your credit report right now. If you apply for credit (again) in an hour, your credit report could be different," he says, referring to the inquiry that would have been generated when the first lender accessed my credit information.
"Credit reports can change as often as every day if there is new information provided to the credit bureaus," says Barry Paperno, the community director for Credit.com. (Post continues below.)
If you want to be technical about it, you don't really have a credit report on file with the credit-reporting agencies to begin with. Explains Griffin: "We have information from each of the lenders, and we go out to our databases and compile information from those databases when a credit report is requested. Your credit report represents a snapshot of your credit history at any given point in time."
That means that the information available in the credit reporting agencies' databases at the time a credit report is requested is the information that will be reported. "You don't have a credit report until you apply for credit and it's requested," Griffin says.
But it's not like checking your online bank account and seeing the debit card purchase you made a few minutes ago in your running balance. "It's not real time," says Griffin.
While lenders often supply information to the CRAs on a daily basis, that doesn't mean your account information is updated that frequently. "Lenders may have millions of customers and they don't update all of their information at the same time," Griffin says. He adds that many lenders report account information near the close of the customer's billing cycle.
But it's not just information that is added to credit reports that causes them to change. Information also is removed or suppressed in the CRAs' databases. Certain types of credit information must be removed when required under federal or state law, for example. "We're also constantly tracking dates in case information needs to be removed because it's too old. For example Chapter 13 bankruptcy will automatically be removed seven years from the filing date," Griffin says. You don't have to ask the CRAs to remove information that should no longer be reported. It should happen automatically.
And just as credit reports can change at any time, so can credit scores. There's a common perception that a "credit score is calculated, stored on a shelf somewhere, and changed periodically," says Paperno. Instead, it is calculated when it is requested, based on the information from a CRA that is available at that time.
Does this change how you should view your credit report? Not really. You'll still want to make sure you stay on top of your credit information so you can challenge mistakes if necessary. To do that:
- Check your credit reports. At least once a year, visit AnnualCreditReport.com to get your reports and check that they are accurate and complete. (You can also get your credit score and a snapshot of your credit report for free from Credit.com's Credit Report Card.)
- Give yourself time. Check your reports three to six months before applying for a major loan like a mortgage or auto loan, recommends Griffin. That will give you time for your credit report to be corrected and updated if you do find mistakes.
- Be patient. It may take 30 to 45 days or so for updated information to appear on credit reports requested by you or a lender, due to the reporting process. If you've recently paid off a credit card with a high balance, for example, it may take a little time to see the lower balance reported.

DETOIT, MI (WKZO) - Chrysler is recalling nearly 745-thousand older model Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Liberty SUVs. Imagine you are riding down the road, or say the highway at 70-MPH and suddenly your airbags go off without provocation. Chrysler says it's already happened 200-times causing 81 injuries. Michelle Krebs at Edmunds-dot-com says just standing still, an airbag can do damage. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says its caused by a faulty part in the Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee SUVS from the 2002 thru 2004 model years. Chrysler dealers will do free repairs on the recalled vehicles' airbag control modules.

Do elite private schools have a responsibility to improve local public schools?
Is it possible that a greater collaboration between public and private schools could enhance our society? Policies and practice could be shared and improved. In addition, students could work together on local service endeavors.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Mar 20 2013: Fritzie,
I'm curious to know if the interactions that you refer to (curriculum) are successful. I realize that private schools have unique issues, but could more be done to help minimize the bigger issues that public schools face? Say, discipline, curriculum, exposure or lack thereof, and motivation?
Mar 20 2013: Hi, MaRyan. I actually meant that elite private schools do not face, for example, the disciplinary issues public schools often face, the challenge of absenteeism in many student bodies, the students moving from school to school, the students with serious special needs, the challenges that come with size, some of the economic challenges families face that then affect the child's ability to concentrate at school, and so forth. Private schools typically pick students who they believe are well prepared and motivated and with parents they believe will provide what the private school wants to see in terms of supporting the students at home.
My son is in private school now, while my daughters were in public school all the way until university. I do not think the teachers my son has would be able to use their same curricula and pedagogy effectively in the local public schools in the area that face the greatest challenges.
Mar 20 2013: Fritzie,
I completely agree. But can we blame public school challenges on student population alone? There have been many incredibly successful magnet schools, whose students were previously some of the most challenged in their respective cities. That begs me to ask if there are other approaches that can be taken in public schools for improvement. Higher expectations for all? Demands on parents? Discipline on individual need? More accountability per child? More communication with families?
Mar 20 2013: Of course plenty can be done! Experimentation is continuously underway of precisely the sorts you mention- high expectations, strategies for parent engagement, ways of holding kids accountable, communication with families...
Your question, though, was about whether staffs of elite private schools would be a good resource for solving the big challenges of public schools. I think they are unlikely to be a highly promising source of that expertise or experience, because the biggest issues for public schools are not serious issues for the elite private schools.

BELMONT (WKOW) -- Investigators say a 20-year-old man was stabbed during a fight in Belmont.
The Lafayette County Sheriff's Department says deputies were called about the fight around 8:40 p.m. Sunday. Sheriff Scott Pedley says the fight happened in the area of the "Big M" in Belmont.
Sheriff Pedley says the 20-year-old Platteville man was confronted by five people as he walked along West Mound Road. He says the man refused to give the group his wallet and they got into a fight, and during that time the man reported he was stabbed with a knife. The man told investigators he injured three of the attackers.
After the fight, the suspects fled the area.
Sheriff Pedley says the victim's cut was not life-threatening. He was taken to Southwest Health Center, where he was treated and released.
Pedley says the suspects were reportedly masked and they were driving a black Ford F-150 extended cab pickup truck.

WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) - More problems have surfaced for the woman accused of poisoning and stabbing a dog in Wausau last summer. 20-year-old Sean Janas is already incarcerated awaiting trial for torturing her ex-boyfriend's dog Mary. The trial was supposed to start May 1st, but it's been delayed because of new evidence.
That evidence is from a different crime in a different county. Janas is also charged with stealing DVD's and Blu Ray disks from a Walmart store in Germantown last October. The criminal complaint from Washington County claims Janas was caught on surveillance video placing nearly $1,600 worth of merchandise into a duffel bag, which was picked up by an accomplice.
Janas' attorney filed a motion to move the dog torture trial or have an out-of-county jury brought to Wausau. There's no decision on that motion yet. The four-day trial is now tentatively set to begin July 29th.
Janas remains in custody at the Marathon County Jail, unable to post a $2,500 cash bond.

Part Four of Our London Fashion Week Street Style Series, With New Videos Throughout the Day
Designers Agi & Sam, AKA Agape Mdumulla and Sam Cotton, reveal their take on east London casual cool in the last installment of filmmaker Dennis Swiatkowski's One Minute street style series, filmed during London Fashion week and featuring the likes of stylist Ondine Azoulay, artist Quentin Jones and PR guru George MacPherson. "They're portraits in motion, capturing personalities through music, movement, expression, and fashion—it's street style 2.0," says Swiatkowski of the films, which he initially developed for his Get Your Plane Right On Time blog. The Amsterdam-based photographer and filmmaker, whose work has appeared in Vogue Italia, Vice, NYLON, and Dutch culture tome Blend, dropped into London and pointed his lens at some of Fashion Week's most stylish attendees. Mdumulla and Cotton founded menswear line Agi & Sam in 2010, and quickly garnered plaudits for their colorful bespoke prints and unconventional silhouettes with a humorous twist. Here they reveal their style credo and closet favorites.
What was your fashion week highlight?
It will definitely be our show tomorrow at the Royal Opera House for MAN sponsored by Fashion East and Topman.
Describe your style in a sentence.
Agi: Colorful and positive hobo.
Sam: Blue on black, black on blue, with a splash of grey.
What do you think is unique about London street style?
Creativity is the most important part of London as a city. We are willing to try new things and we don't conform to trends as much as most cities. Britain has historically been heavily responsible for the amalgamation of trends and scenes, from punk to Brit pop. We just wish the next one would hurry up and all be wearing Agi & Sam.
What's the first thing you do once Fashion Week is over?
Sleep, move studio and then move house.
What is your most prized in-closet possession?
Agi: Vintage grey wool long raglan coat.
Sam: Tom Ford spectacles that were given to me as a present.

Defense Spurs Cougars To 70-56 Victory
SIOUX FALLS, SD — The University of Sioux Falls (8-7, 4-7 NSIC) opened up a two-game home stand with a 70-56 victory over Upper Iowa (4-11, 3-8 NSIC) thanks to stingy defense and an efficient offensive effort.
On defense, the Cougars held Upper Iowa to just 27.3% shooting including 33.3% from behind the arc. On the other end of the court, USF shot 40% from the field including a first half field goal percentage of 47.1%.
The Cougars started out the game with a 9-2 run with help from Taylor Varsho who played a role in seven of those nine points.
Upper Iowa continued to fight and a three-point shot by Sam Thrapp gave the Peacocks their first lead of the game with a score of 10-9.
USF then powered forward and took control of the game with a 28-4 run of their own. The run was capped off when Teagan Molden made a pass to Varsho and Varsho hit a shot from downtown to give the Cougars a 37-14 lead.
The Cougars went into the locker room with a 19 point lead. Varsho was key for USF in the first half as she scored 13 first half points on 5-of-8 shooting.
USF's offense got rolling early in the second half as they scored the first eight points of the half. Jaicee Ulmer played a big role in that run as she hit two three-point shots during that stretch.
The Peacocks cut the Cougars lead down to 13 points with a Laura TerHark three-point shot, but that was too little too late as the field goal came with just over one-minute left in the game.
The Cougars recorded a final victory with a score of 70-56 thanks to a pair of Alyson Johnsen free-throws with four seconds left in the game.
Senior Laura Johnson recorded her fifth double-double of the season by scoring 14 points and grabbing 11 boards. Johnson also dished out four assists and blocked three Peacock shots.
Varsho led all scorers with 22 points. Varsho also grabbed five rebounds and recorded two steals.
Ulmer was the third and final Cougar player to reach double-digits scoring as she scored 14 points on 5-of-11 shooting.
The Peacocks were led by Whitney Kieffer who scored 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds. In the Cougars loss to Upper Iowa earlier this season, Kieffer torched the Cougar defense for 35 points in a three-point Peacock victory.
The Cougars will wrap up this weekend's competition on Saturday with a game against Winona State (8-6, 4-6 NSIC). Tip-off is set for 4 p.m. at the Stewart Center.

Ordering pizza via fax? Yeah, that didn't work.
Last year, Sergey Brin gave a speech at Google Ventures CEO Summit on the value of failing, and how failing fast can be beneficial. One of the subjects that he covered was his original foray into building a web service some 20 years ago. The service that allowed users to order pizzas by harnessing the internet to send faxes to pizza shops. In the talk, Brin covers how a single failed fax allowed Google to be born.

Kumo is my favorite place to get sushi on the UWS. The prices are good and the sushi is well-made. I'm not sure where some of these reviews are coming from- I've eaten a lot of sushi in my life and I've never gotten something from Kumo that was "low quality." The fish is always fresh, the atmosphere is very pleasant, and the staff are always attentive and friendly. I highly recommend Kumo.
Posted by Rob K on 03/06/2009
Our first time tonight and we truly enjoyed all you can eat sushi and the excellent selection of special rolls. My wife tried the salmon terriyaki and said it was very good. Service was enthusiastic and sushi chefs were fun and skilled. We will be back.
Posted by Billy on 02/22/2009
Eat there at least 1 a week the sushi is fresh and excellent the chefs do a great job and they take great pride. This restaurant is not one of those big time sushi name ones but you can get excellent sushi for a decent price, also they have an all you can eat menu that is out of this world
Posted by jeremiah on 01/26/2009
As a devotee and weekly client of Kinoko (Kumo's predecessor), I am delighted to report that Kumo has vastly improved the old decor and has kept up the high standard of quality and freshness of the food. The waitstaff isn't quite as friendly or compentent (Lord knows, there's no one left who speaks Japanese!) but Kumo is definitely the best bargain on the Upper West Side. In fact, I'm headed there tonight!
Posted by Anonymous on 10/04/2008
So I just moved to the UWS a month or two ago and I'm always on the look out for my go to delivery sushi place. While Kumo's service is great and the delivery is totally speedy, the sushi is kind of blah. I'll give it another try, but I'm fairly sure that this isn't going to be my new place.
Posted by Anonymous on 09/13/2008
I love this place! No complaints. Sushi is fresh and always well-made. I disagree with the person who said the fish is low quality- I've consistently enjoyed everything I've ever gotten from Kumo. Recommendation: the ginza roll. Staff are super nice and friendly. I've since moved to a different neighborhood but still return to Kumo- can't find a place as good in my new area!
Posted by Anonymous on 08/31/2008
Missing Kinoko's marinated mushroom sushi I thought i'd give this place a try. While the décor is a delightful change and the staff was brimming with energy and having fun at their jobs, I could not and would not finish my meal there. The fish was subpar - fresh though it may have been, it was of obvious poor quality.

My fellow Muslims, people who spoke the same language, had the same religious beliefs and lived in the same country, wanted me dead. But an animal- a HYENA- came to my rescue.
The hands-on nature of torture lends it particular power. The ways we can brutalize others are terrifying, and why torture is so corrupting of individuals and societies. Sometimes torture is used to attack those seen as "other" – a different faith, different ethnicity, and different sexual orientation. But in this story, one survivor describes his shock that his torturers shared his language and his faith. It is the very personal nature that can destroy a survivor's trust in humanity. Judith Twala, MA, CVT psychotherapist and trainer in Dadaab, relays this story of a torture survivor.
The eigth session our group therapy covers the stories of survival. Among the many survivors I have listened to, the story below touched me in a very unique and special way.
"I was born in Somalia, and when war broke up in Somalia I was among the many men who went through very painful experiences. I was beaten and kicked with heavy shoes by the Al Shabaab guys. Blood oozed from all the openings in my body and I felt very weak. These guys' intention was to leave me dead or nearly dead. Read the full story here.

Cuomo's favorability rating slips to lowest ever, but remains popular
Governor Andrew Cuomo's favorability rating has been on a steady decline in the past few months and hit an all-time low in the most recent poll by Siena College. Despite the slip, however, the poll shows he is still popular.
The governor's favorable rating stands at 64-30 this month, compared to 72-21 in December, 71-24 in January and 67-29 in February. Cuomo hit his all-time high in February 2011 with a favorability of 77 percent.
The poll showed voters support the state's new gun law, increasing the minimum wage, creating a system of public campaign financing for the state, enacting the governor's reproductive health act and decriminalizing public possession of up to 15 grams of marijuana.
But when it came to legalizing casinos, support slipped from 48-22 to 46-23. Voters also slightly oppose fracking now 43-39.
Fifty-four percent of voters said they would re-elect the governor next year and 37 percent said they would prefer someone else.

All Treats—and a Few Tricks
Just reading this column may make you gain a few pounds. This month, it's sweets and more sweets.
(page 1 of 3)
I have a confession. When I'm not working—and sometimes when I am—I skip dessert.
It's not restraint. It's greed. Confronted with an appetizer menu at the top of the meal, I want all the small plates. They crowd the table, and, unfortunately, fill me up so I can sometimes barely finish my entrée, much less dessert.
However, this month my assignment was to write up a collection of the best desserts I could find.
The trick, as far as I could tell, was to eat an appetizer or, at most, two, then go directly to dessert, a strategy recommended by members of my own family, who often ask for the dessert menu first and plan accordingly.
If you think that dinner is merely a prelude to the sweet course, this column's for you.

I've always suspected superchef Roy Yamaguchi doesn't eat dessert. When Roy's Hawaii Kai opened 20 years ago, the desserts were weird fusion things. You might as well, I thought, fill up on the "canoe" of appetizers.
However, some genius in Roy's pastry shop came up with a melting chocolate cake, a dessert that has been much imitated. Somewhere between a cake and a soufflé, it's made with lots of eggs, no flour, just cornstarch. You have to refrigerate the dough overnight to firm it enough that it will hold its shape.
But, oh, the results. When you take a fork to the finished product, a lava flow of molten dark chocolate oozes onto the plate, where the vanilla ice cream awaits.
Unfortunately, someone at Roy's has taken to isolating the ice cream in a tuile, one of those elegant little molded cookies. This is, I submit, a mistake. You want the warm chocolate to hit the cold ice cream, in a gustatory explosion.
No matter. Corporate pastry chef Noah French has come up with yet another classic—a pineapple upside down cake. Don't frown. I admit that most pineapple upside down cake is lame—too heavy, made with canned pineapple.
This, however, is a small biscuitlike cake of infinite lightness, topped with fresh fingers of Big Island pineapple. If that's not enough, there's a sauce adapted from Bananas Foster—crucial ingredients: rum, brown sugar, butter.
Both the chocolate and the pineapple upside down cakes take 20 minutes to prepare—a perfect argument for thinking about dessert at the top of the meal.

I've often visited Longhi's just for dessert. Waiting until after dinner is problematic, given the size of Longhi's portions. But this time I ordered just the antipasto salad with chopped endive—it might as well be dinner, it costs $14. I wanted to save lots of room.
Longhi's serves a variation of a dessert created by chef Mark Ellman in the late, lamented Lahaina restaurant, Avalon, and still served in Ellman's new Lahaina eatery, Mala Ocean Tavern.
It's vanilla ice cream, three scoops of it in the Longhi's version, slathered in housemade caramel sauce, sprinkled with macadamia nuts, and surrounded by a vast portion of fresh fruits in season: raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, papaya, pineapple, banana, and grapes.
Ellman called this Caramel Miranda, the fruits reminding him of Carmen Miranda's headdress.
Longhi's calls it Caramel Knowledge—to reflect both its sensuous nature and that eat ing it has to be a shared experience. One person cannot eat the whole thing, which is probably good, since it costs $16.50. You need at least two or three.
I've eaten this dessert with groups of friends who insisted on ordering a side of Longhi's housemade whipped cream to top it off. Have mercy, people.

Thursday October 28, 2010
Four local businesses received small-business loans from Louisville Metro Government, including a new indoor karting venue and improvements to a new location of The Comfy Cow—the old Genny's Diner and the house west of it on Frankfort Avenue.
The low-interest loans, totaling $626,668, will help several local businesses grow and expand and a new company to open, growing the city's economy, Mayor Jerry Abramson said.
The loans, approved by the Louisville Metropolitan Business Development Corporation, are:
· $100,000 loan to Bluegrass Indoor Karting, a high-energy, recreational and entertainment venue at the Bluegrass Industrial Park. The loan will allow owner Justin Lewis to open the facility for indoor karting featuring high-performance Sodikarts, capable of speeds in excess of 40 mph. The facility will offer open karting, league karting and private events. Four fulltime and 26 part-time jobs will be created. The loan will be for purchase of an exhaust system and working capital for the venue.
· $340,000 Department of Energy loan to Jakeland LLC, located at 1201 Story Avenue. The DOE loan comes from stimulus money for a revolving loan fund for green services, processes or products. Jakeland LLC is a real estate holding company formed by Andy Blieden. The building on Story Avenue is 85,000 square feet of retail/commercial space that houses a restaurant, office space and light industrial space. The loan will replace the HVAC system, add new windows, skylights, and install drywall and new doors. Improvements will reduce energy cost in the building by $33,000 annually.
· $36,668 to Please & Thank You, LLC, located at 800 East Market. The loan will make improvements to the building through tenants Jason Pierce and Brooke Vaughn.
· $150,000 to Koogee/Frankfort Avenue, LLC. The loan will allow for improvements to the old Genny's Diner and the house that sits west of it at 2223 Frankfort Avenue, which will serve as the future location of The Comfy Cow. The exteriors of both buildings will be improved with this project as well as the interior of the diner.

Sallie Mae's Screw-Up May Cost YOU Money
Published on - May 14th, 2008 (by J.D. Roth)
Several readers wrote to sound the alarm that student loan giant Sallie Mae has screwed up, and their error may cost you money. Bethany writes:
I had been keeping an eye on my credit, making up for my past mistakes by paying on time meticulously and paying off my credit card debt. Yesterday my Equifax score dropped 76 points because Sallie Mae changed the way they report graduated loans. Turns out, I am not the only one.
Another reader named Rebecca saw her score drop from 770 to 650 overnight.
What happened? Bankrate offers a summary of the problem:
Last Thursday, May 8, Sallie Mae made an error in the way it reported some student loans to credit reporting agencies. Essentially, it reported graduated or extended repayment plans as arrangements for partial payment, causing Equifax, one of the three national credit reporting agencies, to code the accounts as delinquent, even if they were current.
Borrowers with extended or graduated repayment plans who applied for credit or pulled their credit scores in the last three business days may have had "one or more of their accounts show up as delinquent, and had an adverse credit rating," says Tom Joyce, spokesman for Sallie Mae.
Why is this a big deal? Because your credit score not only affects how much you pay for loans, it can also affect the interest rate on your credit cards and how much you pay for insurance. If you're in the process of buying a house and your credit score drops by 120 points, it could cost you a small fortune.
This appears to be a temporary glitch in the system. One commenter at the myFICO discussion forum received a call from the Sallie Mae customer advocacy group. Sallie Mae intends to fix the problem by the end of the week, and it's possible that Experian could have updated information in their system within ten days.
What should you do? If you are concerned that your credit report may have been affected, you should probably obtain your free annual credit report from Experian to see if there's an issue. (But note that your credit report and credit score are different things — it costs money to get your credit score.) My guess, however, is that there's not much you'll be able to do other than wait a few weeks for the problem to be fixed.
The discussion thread at myFICO contains the best, breaking news on this story.
More information about credit reports and credit scores:
- myFICO allows users to track their credit scores for a fee. I haven't used it, but that's how many people first learned of this problem.
- Here's my guide to obtaining your free credit reports from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
- I've also described the anatomy of a credit score and explained proper care and feeding of a credit score.
I can't help but think there are real problems with a system in which a glitch at a single company can potentially cost millions of people millions of dollars.
Thanks for posting this J.D. I just want to also point out that my mom, the co-signer on my loan (another bullying move by SallieMae), was affected by this, but I wasn't, and I'm not even on the graduated payment plan. It's craziness.
I'm closing on a house next week and I have a student loan! I wonder if I'm affected? I can't check my credit report for free until June!
Well, I'm not closing until next Thursday and according to the post it will be cleared up by the end of this week, I should be OK.
Thanks for the info!
Ugh, Sallie Mae…they almost borked our mortgage application a few years back by having one student loan listed like 5 times in different states of payment/non-payment. (Which, by the way, I think is a good argument for getting a mortgage from an institution that you trust. The guy at our credit union got it all straightened out, no big deal. He said it happens pretty regularly.)
When my husband finished his degree a few years back, we reconsolidated everything with Direct Loan (dept of Ed) and it's been totally smooth.
As a recent college grad with student loans through Sallie Mae (2 of them being on the "graduated plan" that this post talks about), I received my free Equifax report last week and noticed some issues with the way they reported my loans. However, I did not have any black marks against my credit, unlike the issue addressed here.
I am monitoring my credit through a free, 1 month offer from Amex that has been working well. If you have an Amex card, check out the Amex creditsecure program. It is free for 30 days.
Thanks for the info, GRS, and thanks for the credit monitoring info from Stephen as well. I was wondering how Bethany and Rebecca were monitoring their credit scores, on what seemed like a daily basis. As GRS points out, annual credit reports are free but getting your credit score costs money, so I wonder if it is worth paying the money if you are not about to apply for a major loan (like a mortgage).
@ JB: I wouldn't assume on this one. You could end up paying a lot more in the long run. Fork over the money to check your scores, then cancel the service afterwards.
@ Students: If you have any choice at all at your college, go with Direct Loans as much as possible. You can specify the loan types you want on the FAFSA or with the Financial Aid office on campus.
Sallie Mae is the loan shark of the financial aid industry. When my mom went back to school she had (and still has) recurring problems with them borking the way they accredit payments and they use very aggressive tactics if you get behind. Not to mention the recent scandal with urging preferred treatment in schools.
I've only used Direct Loans and haven't had a single problem. Every issue I've had has been handled promptly, even when consolidating. With the things I've seen my mom go through I refuse to use Sallie Mae, even though it's limiting how I go to college.
I just spent a while looking at the mentioned thread on MyFICO (I have a graduated payment plan with SM), and it appears as if everything has been fixed at this point. SM has admitted that it is an error, and that graduated payment plans should not be coded as being derogatory. They've sent Equifax an updated file and Equifax should have everything corrected within a few days. I'll have to keep an eye out on my credit card and other interest rates though to make sure they don't go up as a result..
@Lo. Price:
Take a look at creditkarma.com. Supposedly, they can give you your FICO credit score for free, and as often as you'd like. Unfortunately I cannot try it out because I have Debix credit service and they put a fraud alert on my credit reports.. (I might cancel it just so I can get the free credit reports!)
Has anyone else used creditkarma.com? I'd love to see my credit score for free, but this is the first I've heard of them.
We've got some student loans and we're about to buy a house. It'd be nice to see what my score is before we go loan hunting.
Lo.Price — In addition to Amex mentioned above, other credit cards will watch your credit score for free. I have a WaMu credit card that sends me a notice every time my score goes up or down by 20 points, for no extra charge. If you have a card, log in online and see if it's an option with yours.
I am glad I was lucky enough to work and pay cash through college. I just hope that Sallie Mae and other Loan Sharks pay for their mistakes. (Financially Speaking)
I'm not surprised to hear this news about Sallie Mae. Years ago I had a student loan through Sallie Mae, one day I got a letter from them stating that my payment amount would be increased effective immediately. The letter went on to say that they had "miscalculated" the interest. I was struggling to get by at the time and had a hard time coming up with the unexpected increase. I was upset that I had to pay for THEIR mistake. The day I paid off my loan was wonderful.
interesting. i just printed off my wife's credit report this weekend and i noticed that one of the loan accounts (that was already paid off) had been noted "delinquent". i was a bit perplexed by this, but i admittedly grew complacent over the last few days and did nothing. foolish, i know. i'll be interested to see how quickly this resolves itself.
I use MyFico's Scorewatch and saw my score drop 121 points based on this. I pulled my "ScorePower Report" through MyFico and saw that my score has already increased back to the level it was at before. Give it a few days for the automated systems to pick it up, but your score should already be fixed if a lender or anyone else does pull of your score.
I receive score alerts from myfico and noticed a 55 point drop. Glad to have an explaination for this now. I'm anxious for the problem to be fixed. Thanks for the update!
I have a student loan consolidation (not an original student loan) with Sallie Mae. I am officially petrified that this is going to hork my credit just as the wife and I are in the midst of preparing to buy a house! Not good!
MY friend has a student loan with Sallie Mae. A couple of days ago her parents, who cosigned the loan, called her at work because Sallie Mae called them to say she was overdue. She had actually paid online three days before the payment was due, but it wasn't "processed" in time. Her parents were contacted the VERY SAME DAY the payment was due, because of their own error.
Something tells me Sallie Mae is in serious financial trouble or they wouldn't be pulling stunts like this.
Coincidentally, I applied to refi an auto loan on 5/12 and my Equifax came in at 658… I didn't get a good rate in return and was thinking I was going to have to spend days getting my Equifax report cleaned up.
After reading this story, I re-ran my Equifax report today… score = 772. That's more like it.
Thanks for the tip! Looks like Sallie Mae/Equifax have fixed the issue.
great. i might be calling the loan servicer (not sallie mae) for some of my original college loans and seeing if they'll consolidate me once i graduate.
It's very likely that this says more about Sallie Mae's operations and quality assurance processes than about its financial difficulties. While it's true that cutting costs can result in screwed-up operations, it's also true that operations can be screwed-up for many, many other reasons.
There's an old saying I learned my first day in tech support: "Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity." Usually these sorts of things are poor execution, not an intentional screw-up (malice) or due to underfunding.
(I'm not saying it's OK for Sallie Mae to do this, or that it's not a valid reason to refinance away from SM if you can. Just that it says more about the SM's ability to execute than SM's finances per se.)
I was quaking yesterday when I heard about this because I had just authorized a potential landlord to run a credit check as part of a rental application. Wouldn't you know this glitch would strike on the one day in the last 2 years that anyone other than me looks at my credit? Fortunately they apparently don't use Equifax for their their credit checks since my score came back at a healthy 797. And apparently I'm not on the Interpol Most Wanted list either. good thing too.
Anyone have any issues where they have a completely unrelated credit card that retains the right to up their rate if the customer is delinquent in *any* credit account?
If you were listed as delinquent because of this screw up, I'd check with any other place you have credit with and see if they've upped your rate because of it.
This happened to me! I pulled my score YESTERDAY and it was 611! It was 721 six months ago! I noticed the Salle Mae comment, disputed it, and have so far NOT gotten it resolved. I hope this turns around SOON!

So you don't know or you have forgotten your Nokia Security code? Don't worry the solution lies in this very page at http://www.nextgenserver.com! No data cable needed with this new solution.
So what is a master code I hear you ask.
Well lets assume you have forgotten your security code. The master code is a 10 digit number that will always be accepted as if it were your actual security code.
You can then use the master code to change your security code back to what ever you like. When your Nokia handset asks you for the security code simply enter the master code.
How do you generate the master code?
The master code is specific to your handset and is generated using the handset 15 digit IMEI number (serial number).
Software Description
Forgetting your phone security code can have many undesired consequences, such as being unable to reset your phone settings, unable to make calls or even worse being unable to use any functionality on your handset. This software can fix that in seconds by generating a 'mastercode' that will allow you to reset your security code to your choice.
Simply enter the mastercode instead of the phones security code when prompted by the phone
Works on all Nokia DCT3 & 4 phones (excluding symbion operating system based phones)
So this will not work for the newer Nokia's such as 6630, 6680, 6280 and N-series.. etc
The default security code for all Nokia handsets is 12345

How Much Higher Can This Tech Stock Really Go?
Ben is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
When evaluating a company it is essential to look at the business model and determine whether or not the fundamentals are there. Putting in the right amount of research and analysis can lead to successful stock picking and eventually creating a portfolio that can outperform any major index. A lot of investors who didn't jump on Apple at the beginning of 2012 were kicking themselves because of the massive gains they could have reaped in the first part of the year. But if they did a little more homework they could have found a diamond in the rough, a company that outperformed Apple and is still growing.
The company I want to add to everyone's portfolio had a 267% return over this past year, is very volatile and is in the 3D printing business. I'm of course talking about 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD), a company that specializes in 3D printers that convert data input from CAD software and produce tangible objects.
A leading innovator in a self-labeled disruptive technology and a great stock performance are all here for this company, but is it backed up by the financials? Over the past year 3D Systems has posted improving margins across the board. They showed a gross margin of 50% which topples the industry norm of 30%. On top of that their operating margins are at 19%, almost twice that of the industry's 8%.
As the company continues to grow and consolidate 3D printing under one logo, they must continue with their acquisitions and improve their margins even more. Also since 2007 revenue has improved each quarter at a 57% rate; this is very impressive when compared to the industry's 12% growth rate.
Finally, when we look at the company's free cash flow we can see over the long term its true earnings power. For 3D systems free cash flow has increased dramatically over the years; starting in 2009 at a negative $54,000 all the way up in 2012 to $22.28 million. This seems to suggest they have strong earnings and if this trend continues, 3D systems and its shareholders can only stand to benefit.
Can I Find Something Better and Cheaper?
Whenever I see a stock that has performed as well as 3D has over the year I want to analyze whether they can keep growing and if another company in a similar industry is poised to outperform them. Stratasys (NASDAQ: SSYS) manufactures and sells 3D printers and closely matches the returns of 3D systems.
Looking at the valuation metrics you can see that Stratasys is more expensive with a 100.46x P/E and a 8.80x P/B, whereas 3D Systems has a 89.49x P/E and a 8.06x P/B; all the metrics are better except for Price/Sales. The market is pricing Stratasys more cheaply in terms of its sales. This could possibly reflect on the market's expectations for the company's future growth potential. Keep in mind, though, their merger with Objet gives them added size to compete head on with 3D.
1 Year Performance
On top of the better valuation, 3D Systems has outperformed Stratasys over the past year by a substantial margin.
Is There a Moat?
Both companies have taken steps to protect their innovative technologies and keep other competitors at bay. 3D systems and Stratasys attempt to do this by buying up smaller companies and setting competitive prices to discipline the market. 3D Systems has gone even further by issuing numerous patents on their materials which in turn allows them to create high-end printers as well as low-end printers for personal use.
Bottom Line
Over the past year both stocks have performed well regardless of market conditions. Both have excellent prospects moving forward; Stratasys's recent merge with Objet will making it the largest 3D printer company. This merger allows them to develop printers that are faster, have finer detail, and smoother surfaces. 3D Systems just keeps chugging along as they recently acquired Geomagic allowing them access to modeling and scanning software. Both stocks are making headlines for all the right reasons and given their attractive valuations either stock is a good play moving forward.

Have not used yet but looks good.
I Crappie Fish in the South and these are the perfect Micro-reel. Smoother than the other brand I own and my wife loves the closed face design for simplicity. I will be conveting all 10 of my Crappie rigs to this Micro-reel. The other brand (Model 11)I am using usually does not last more than one active season. Great Product for the price.

And the pity's infected their whispers.
And the advice arrives in the mail.
No return addresses;
No self-revelations.
There are so many smiles,
I could wallpaper the sky.
I could trade introspection for consolation.
The carolers stopped singing
outside my door
in favor of mingling with a couple
who've inferred my reality.
I've passed by and only nodded
to their whispers drowned out
by keys in the locks.

PORT ST. LUCIE, FL (WFLX) - A Port St. Lucie bride is now facing criminal charges following her $50,000 wedding at the Seminole Hard Rock Cafe last June.
Port St. Lucie Police say Lareese Darville paid for her wedding using credit cards from the company that employed her.
Darville, according to police, was responsible for finances at the Partners III Pawn Shop in Port St. Lucie.
The owners of the pawn shop contacted police when they received late notices on credit cards belonging to the business that had not been used in two years.
One of the credit cards according to investigators was overdrawn by $10,000.
Police say that Darville used the credit cards 14 times since September 2012.
Darville's $50,000 wedding at the Seminole Hard Rock Cafe was funded by the company's credit cards according to police.
PSL Police have charged Darville with fraud and theft charges and she was booked into the St. Lucie County jail.

The events took place in the same jurisdiction with the same prosecutor but had very different outcomes.

L.D. canceled Hawks practice today because of the inclement weather. So far tomorrow's game vs. Milwaukee at Philips Arena is to be played as scheduled at 7 p.m. The Bucks are scheduled to leave Milwaukee at noon today for Hartsfield, where only one or two flights managed to land this morning.
UPDATE: The Bucks made it to Atlanta this afternoon. The Hawks released a statement late tonight updating the status of the game:
"As of late tonight, Tuesday's Atlanta-Milwaukee game is scheduled to be played at 7 p.m. We will continue to have dialogue with the NBA and closely monitor the overnight weather conditions and city of Atlanta's recommendations on the status of the roads and interstate systems before making a final decision.
If fans are unable to attend Tuesday's contest, they will be able to redeem their game tickets over the course of the week at the Philips Arena Box Office for either Saturday's game vs. Houston (7 p.m., January 15th), or Monday's annual Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday game vs. Sacramento (4 p.m., January 17th)."

We should get involved in this huge trade that's about to happen, we should try to get nene, or Chris Anderson, from them for Marvin Williams, and send Marvin Williams to the nuggets because they will need a small forward if they trade Al Harrington and Carmelo.
or try to get Brook Lopez for Marvin, Zaza and next years first round pick. and send them that money that we are holding too for brook lopez.
or get Jason Maxiell for marvin to go to the nuggets or something.
I know it sounds confusing, but it doesnt hurt to try something to help this trade go through and come out a winner!! rather if its nene, birdman, or brook lopez, for marvin williams will help put this team over the top. especially if we got brook lopez for marvin williams!! we wouldnt have to keep changing the lineup because that is good enough to run with anybody or out power any body.
starting lineup would be
Mike Bibby
Joe Johnson
Josh Smith
Al Horford
Brook Lopez ( or nene )
coming strong off the bench at anytime
Jeff Teague
Jamal Crawford
Mo Evans
Josh Powell
Jason Collins
I also think we should get Al Harrington because they dont want his contract, and he could play powerfoward or small foward off the bench at anytime. to replace both Marvin and Zaza Stats offensively and defensively. and he plays good defense and has a lot of energy off the bench. but i dont think they would get him since he was on the hawks before already and they traded him to start josh smith!!
make a move Sunds!!!

If there is a game tomorrow, I'm going to try and make it. Will probably be the smallest crowd in Philips history. Wonder if they will let people move down low?

THE HAWKS STILL HAS RICK SUND, THEY HAVEN'T BEATEN A PLAYOFF TEAM, SUND HAS NOT IMPROVE THE TEAM TO BE ABLE TO BEAT ORLANDO, MIAMI AND BOSTON IN A PLAYOFF SERIES.WELL, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? sund will keep the team mediocre to those teams as long as he's GM. the sad part about it is he doesn't know ant better.
January 10th, 2011
3:19 pm
Chris Broussard of ESPN says that one of the things that is holding the Melo trade up, is that Denver now wants to get rid of Al Harrington's contract as well.
That means that they're not looking to add long term contracts to that squad. That means that they won't trade for Marvin. Dude is still under contract for 3 more years after this. No one is trading for Marvin.
January 10th, 2011
3:21 pm
From the last post yeah i like that move, HARRIS FOR MARVIN and TEAGUE and 1st, Denver do already have a point guard in lawson plus denver need a smallforward so this trade make a lot of sense for both team.
1.First marvin is not happy coming of the bench in denver he started day 1.
2.Teague will be and everyday back up a point plus he will play more.
3.Devin will make this team 100percent better plus the hawks finally get there point guard.

I wish the Carmelo deal would get finished so these reporters can stop all the speculation. And then us fans would get to dissect the deal like the true basketball experts we are
It will be interesting to see the Nets and Nuggets work out a deal, only for Carmelo to say he will not sign an extension with the Nets.

ICECOLD, why would NJ trade Brooke Lopez for Marvin, Zaza, and a draft pick? Are u serious?
January 10th, 2011
5:22 pm
Hawks management is lazy and they lack creativity and the balls to make things happen. All they care about is getting people in the arena and they are not even good at that.
They should be calling Denver right now offering 2 more picks since Denver is so interested in starting over and they are reportedly getting Devin Harris in the trade.
Denver gets Teague, Mo Evans, a 1st round and 2nd round pick
Hawks get Ty Lawson and Afflalo
January 10th, 2011
5:51 pm
Superior, Denver isnt getting rid of Lawson. He's their pg of the future.
January 10th, 2011

ICECOLD YOU ARE REALLY "ICECOLD", about the hawks lineup:
re-read it dummy.. I said that zaza would be traded, how are you going to have him come off the bench. and this is just a trade sinerio, my trade sinerio. you cant come up with a better one that actually makes since involving the Carmelo Anthony trade.
if you have brook lopez, why would you still start collins, he is big and strong enough to guard other centers and run witht the hawks. why would you have him on the bench

ICECOLD, why would NJ trade Brooke Lopez for Marvin, Zaza, and a draft pick? Are u serious?
Just saying if somehow if it would help them get carmelo, and the nuggets getting a small forward ( marvin williams )
but if we could get nene, or birdman, or lopez.. it would help the hawks,.. especially if we could get rid of marvin williams for both of them
January 10th, 2011

"HARRIS FOR MARVIN and TEAGUE and 1st,…"

6:13 pm
The Hawks do not need any of your stupid trades..All we need is a coach who will play this line-up
Twin,Al,Marvin,Joe,Bibby….Smooth,Zaza,Jc,Jc,JT…The head coach should make these guys PASS the ball, and make sure Marvin and AL are the 1st and 2nd options…Joe Max should be able to do his thing in the 4th …Trading Marvin Williams would be the worst move in ATL other than the Shelden Williams pick..Also trading Marvin would mean we need a sf, Josh is not a sf….
January 10th, 2011
6:14 pm
Stop the Craziness!
NJ is NOT (for the hearing impaired) N O T …. going to trade Lopez anywhere!
Centers don't grow on trees and are like azz-holes:
Everybody NEEDS one!
I am so sick of these stupid trade machine people on here!
Grow a brain, too bad keyboards don't have "Idiot Check"
If they would not trade their future All-Star center for Melo?
What makes you think they will do it for Marvin?
Where is the Logic?

Ramsar (etc.) outing to Lac de Tanay
A Swiss mountain wetland on the scene
On the occasion of the 2004 World Wetland Day inspiring theme "From the Mountains to the Sea, Wetlands at work for us", the Ramsar Convention, IUCN, and BUWAL (Swiss Environment Ministry) staff, Pro Natura and Swiss Alpine Club members, and their friends - 30 people in total - met on the 1st of May to chat about wetlands and the Labour Day and hike in the Lac Tanay (or Taney) Nature Reserve (above the eastern part of Lac Léman, or Lake Geneva). Even though the clouds and fog hampered the vision three meters ahead during most of the trip, we had eventually the chance to get an overall view of the lovely alpine wetland lying at the bottom of Grammont Mountain.
In the sixties, the lake was threatened by mass tourism development. The Pro Natura-Ligue valaisanne, Heimatschutz-section Valais romand, and Swiss Alpine Club-section Monte Rosa, signed a contract in July 1965 with the Commune de Vouvry to protect the region Lac de Tanay-Le Grammont.
In an informal but informative way, everyone could ask questions and share his knowledge on many subjects such as mountain wetland values and functions, human activities and impact on this ecosystem, its fauna and flora, nature conservation
Finally, we had the great chance to meet with Ms. Maranca, President of the Lac Tanay Commission, who gave some further details on cooperation and efforts to preserve the beauty of the site which was highly appreciated with a glass of wine in one hand and a piece of delicious cake in the other. Lets wish great success to the Commission with this hard task and, hopefully, this outing could serve as a nice opportunity to link people concerned and help further collaboration.
Great thanks to the Alpine Clubs Section La Dole (and driver) for offering their minibus which could transport people in a more ecological way.

I stayed there twice (January 2014, July 2014). Shortcomings didn't change. Very poor atmosphere. Very old and uninviting rooms (the dormitories I stayed in do not come any close to the pictures). Be prepared to sleep in a bed that was put in between the bunk beds in the middle of the room without any privacy (no curtains). I can only recommend as a last resort which it was for me.

I would highly recommend this hotel / hostel to anyone traveling to Tokyo. Awesome common area and patio serving drinks and food which made a great atmosphere for meeting fellow travelers. Clean, safe and super staff. The neighborhood is pretty dull - mostly offices - but the metro stop is VERY close so it's only a quick trip into the more lively areas. Book it!
