Alistair Darling yesterday bowed to political pressure and postponed the 2p rise in petrol duty planned for the autumn, forsaking nearly £500m in Treasury income, and prompting charges from David Cameron that Labour was trying to save its skin in the Glasgow East byelection.
Gordon Brown and his chancellor have been giving hints that they would postpone the fuel duty rise, and Treasury sources said yesterday there seemed little point in allowing speculation to dribble through the summer. The announcement was also designed to pre-empt a Conservative-inspired Commons debate on the rise.
The motoring lobby welcomed the relief, but demanded that the chancellor back down over plans to raise vehicle excise duty for more polluting cars next year, an issue on which Darling is determined to hold firm, but is willing to consider some rephasing.
The SNP leader, Alex Salmond, campaigning in Glasgow East said the byelection was "concentrating minds wonderfully in London".
The Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman, Vince Cable, said: "There's absolutely no reason why the chancellor should have been stampeded into making this decision and we have no indication how it's going to be paid for. We have got the sense that they are just improvising and have no sense of strategy so far as the public finances are concerned."
The Institute for Fiscal Studies said yesterday's announcement would cost the Treasury £550m, but former chancellor Kenneth Clarke described it as scandalous that the Treasury chief secretary, Yvette Cooper, was unable to give an official estimate of the impact on public finances.
The prime minister denied that the decision was timed to win votes in the byelection, saying he wanted parliament to be informed. Brown said he would "continue to help hard-pressed families who are facing high fuel bills and high food prices because of what is happening in every country in the world".
Some Labour MPs fear the freeze will be seen as an electoral bribe and might even backfire in a byelection Labour is increasingly confident it will win.
The government has reduced or frozen fuel duty 11 times since 1999. Fuel prices have risen by 25% in the past 12 years, and duty is now 17% lower in real terms than in 1999. The decision means the road fuel duty rate will remain at 50.35p a litre for at least another six months. The Treasury is hoping to see a slowdown in food prices, but Darling admitted oil prices were going to remain "high for some time yet".
The accountants Grant Thornton suggested the Treasury would be able to offset the revenue lost by the duty freeze with extra income from North Sea oil tax.
The RAC welcomed the freeze but said it did not go far enough.
AA president, Edmund King, said: "We are delighted that the chancellor has seen common sense. Many motorists have endured months of misery and this is a welcome piece of good news for them."
Kate Gibbs, of the Road Haulage Association, said anything that helped the transport industry was "good news" although the postponement of the fuel duty rise represented "quite a small drop in the ocean". The TUC praised the move as an intelligent pro-growth measure, but environmentalists bemoaned the government's failure to resist pressure from motorists.
The Tories used the Commons debate to highlight their plans for a fuel duty stabiliser, designed to bring the level down when oil prices rise, and increase it when prices fall.

"Coach [Tommy] Thigpen texted me Thursday and he asked me to come down [to the camp over the weekend]," said Grassilli. "He said there were some recruits coming down and he wanted to compare me to them."
Grassilli, a product of Woodbridge (Va.) Hylton High School (the same high school as current Penn State wideout Deon Butler), yet again had a solid camp performance but did yet not land a UNC offer.
"I did really well during the one-on-ones and everything else," said Grassilli. "They didn't offer me after the camp, but they are looking to see how I do during the season.
"I talked to [Thigpen] afterwards and he said I was a great athlete, I did really well in the one-on-ones and everything else and the coaches are interested, it's just they want to wait awhile. He told me there were other guys there that already had offers to other schools, so they offered them. He said once things get rolling with the season, they'll come back looking."
From the start of the June camp to the end of the July camp, Grassilli has made huge strides in his progression because of his strong worth ethic.
"I felt that [I progressed] and Coach Thigpen was really impressed with my [40-yard dash] time – it went down two tenths of a second," said Grassilli. "Everything I got a lot better. I gained weight. In the one-on-ones I got a lot better – my steps were a lot better and my punch."
An added benefit to attending the Tar Heels' camp was working closely with new offensive line coach Mark Weber.
"I liked his technique that he coached," said Grassilli. "When he showed me how to do them and when I started doing them, I found they really worked well for me – they really helped me. I liked the guy. I think he's really going to bring a lot to the program. He really impressed me."
Grassilli has also camped at Boston College, Notre Dame, Penn State, and Virginia Tech.
Despite the lack of a Division I-A scholarship offer, Leo Grassilli lists three schools as early favorites.
"Right now, the schools I really like are Stanford ( I've been talking to the coaching staff), Notre Dame (they like me and they said if a spot opens up then they'll look at offering me) and Penn State," said Grassilli.
Although he doesn't list UNC among his top three, North Carolina is very much on his mind.
"I like the program, I like the way they treat the players," said Grassilli.
During his junior season, Grassilli struggled keeping on weight but still landed on the All-District Second Team.

Good Dealership?
Hello everyone,
Im looking to replace my WRX with a new Unlimited, pref a Sport. Can anyone recommend a good dealership in the Paramus/North Bergen area? Any trusting salespersons you can vouch for?
Who ever has jeep you want in stock. IMHO it's a game. They want to get you and you want to get them.
If you don't want to play go to East Hanover as Vasiliy suggests
I shopped at Paramus jeep and Ramsey jeep. I could have gotten better deal at Paramus, but I gave my business to Ramsey because they were less pushy and easier to deal with.
thanks I just came back from Route 46 Jeep. They have the ability to swap one for one that has the options Im looking for. 3.75, Ltd Slip, Hardtop. Within line with what Truecar is suggesting. Going to my bank tomorrow(credit union) to work the numbers.

Provided by Paradise Island Adventure Golf
A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to try out Paradise Island Adventure Golf in the Trafford Centre. I was super excited as even though I'm absolutely rubbish at mini golf, it's something my boyfriend and I enjoy doing and so of course I accepted straightaway.
We made our way to the venue, which is just next to Laser Quest and the cinema, and joined the queue. Our session was booked for late afternoon on a Saturday, and so as you would expect it was fairly busy but we were served in no time. You're given clubs, balls to choose from and a scorecard with a pencil. They even serve cold drinks and slushes which was great news for me as we played when we were having particularly good weather.
There are two 18 hole courses to choose from, and we picked the Temple Ruins Adventure. Despite it being busy, we didn't have to wait too long between holes for other people to finish which was good, and there was generally a rule where if you hit a certain number and still hadn't putted the ball you had to move on, which meant you weren't stuck behind someone for too long either. What I really liked about the course was that each hole was different; whether it was the terrain, how you had to putt or the visual aesthetics, each hole was interesting! The venue was themed really well, with stone carvings, outhouses, rainforest sounds and plenty of wildlife. With it being a warm day too, the temperature even felt tropical!
I took a lot longer to complete the course than I anticipated - I'm obviously not as good at mini golf as I thought! George and I had a lot of fun making our way around; the atmosphere was lovely, everyone was having a great time and you could feel the compeitive streaks coming out in those around you. We scored our fair share of "hole in ones" though, inevitably, George did end up winning. I'm so grateful to have been invited to play, and I'll definitely have to head back soon to have a go on the second course. At £6 for one course of £9 for both for a student, how could I say no? If you love mini golf, you're bound to love Paradise Island Adventure Golf!

Only 2 left in stock!
The Empire G6 is another new addition to the line this season, bringing a classic yet modernized Emerica look to this new build. Injecting the internal welded frame "cage system" Emerica introduced with the HSU G6, this system will keep the shoe from bagging out. This shoe fits snug and is made to last.
Great comfort and light weight
My favorite pair of shoes, super comfy!
Absolutely love it. From the moment I put them on I wanted them. They have amazing grip and it feels like I'm walking and riding on a cloud.
My ABSOLUTE #1 NEW FAVORITE SHOE.... This model is designed to make your feet feel safe and secure, and at the same time you can go to battle wearing them. The Inner sock is super dope.. your not having to tighten your laces super tight ya know, great looking shoe.... the sole of the foot have nice thread patterns so they will last longer than the cheeper shoe models. I wish the website has more 8.5. the EMPIRE G6 is worth paying 85$. mine have already lasted longer than the Herman's & Reynolds low vulc. VERY Impressed with his shoe.
Superior feel, Superior looks.... Inner "sock" prevents you from tying the laces too tight. your ankles feel strong in these shoes.
Just got to shred these at a little gap spot. They were not mine but actually my homies. They feel good, first day he skated them and they felt pretty broken in and comfy. Really grips the heel and keeps it steady. Sad i had to give them back to him but im definitely coppin a pair myself.


text: I have a Davis (now Cobra) in .32acp. It shoots decent groups, but much higher than the sights and each barrel shoots to a different point. I also have a Hi Standard .22mag retired from the state prison system. It's a good close range shooter, but has a 675 pound trigger pull (+ or -). I like the Bond arms, shot one in .45 Colt last week, but for the weight, you could get a 5 shot snub that's much easier to shoot. If size is a concern and you are so limited that you must have something that small I think the best option is a NAA mini revolver. All of mine shoot close to the sights with ammo they like, and shoot decent groups limited only by the sights. You also get 5 rounds, even if it's only .22 mag.


text: I have owned one since they first came out. It is not the smallest compact. It is a little wide. It looks a bit top heavy but is quite well balanced. The grip feels good to the hand. The recoil is minimal. It has 15+1 capacity and extra mags are not too expensive. The DAO is long but smooth all the way through the action. The nitron slide finish is durable. The blued barrel finish begins to show wear after 200-300 rounds. Sig says that is normal. The modular design makes it very fast and easy to field strip. The Siglite NS are bright. The pistol is fairly accurate. The reliability has been questioned. I have had no significant issues with mine and only a couple FTE's that I blame on user error. It is priced right. There are several Kydex holsters available, not as many in leather. I trust the pistol but due to its size I carry a PPS for EDC.

U.S. Showing Frustration Over China's Human Rights Policy
By ELAINE SCIOLINO,
Published: March 9, 1994
CANBERRA, Australia, Wednesday, March 9— Days before Warren Christopher is to arrive on his first visit to China as Secretary of State, the Clinton Administration has begun to acknowledge that its policy of intensified engagement with Beijing has not yet produced the progress it has sought on human rights and nonproliferation of weapons.
Neither Mr. Christopher nor his senior advisers admit outright that their strategy of embracing rather than isolating the Chinese has failed. When Winston Lord, the Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian Affairs and a former Ambassador to China, was asked if that was the case, he denied it on Tuesday.
"There has been some progress in certain areas" in China, he told reporters after two days of trade and defense talks here with Australian officials. He did not offer any examples, but added, "We do think it was the right approach, or the Secretary wouldn't be going to Beijing." Arrests on Eve of Visit
Yet in almost the same breath, Mr. Lord bluntly admitted that he did not have a clue as to why the Chinese were arresting rather than releasing dissidents on the eve of the first visit by an American Secretary of State in more than two years.
"We believe that we are going out of our way to demonstrate that in our own self-interest we want a more positive relationship," Mr. Lord said. "But against that backdrop, it is particularly puzzling to see this kind of behavior, which is of course unacceptable in any event, and particularly puzzling and disturbing on the eve of the Secretary's trip."
The tension was aggravated on Tuesday when the Chinese Government detained Wang Dan, China's most wanted student leader from the 1989 democracy movement, holding him for an hour before releasing him with a warning. The Foreign Ministry later issued a statement declaring that its treatment of its own citizens was its own business.
"No foreign country, organization, or individual has the right to make irresponsible remarks or interfere," the Foreign Ministry said in Beijing. Threat on Trade Status
President Clinton has warned that China must make substantial progress on human rights if it expects to win renewal of its preferential trade status in June.
Since last fall, Mr. Christopher has said repeatedly that China cannot make a few token gestures on human rights at the 11th hour and expect renewal of those benefits. With China now taking a defiant tone, he is making no effort to conceal his frustration.
"They have heard from me before and they'll hear from me again that overall significant progress will be necessary before the most-favored-nation treatment can be extended," he told reporters on Tuesday.
With most-favored-nation status, a country exporting to the United States benefits from the lowest tariffs available.
"It would be hard to overestimate the strong distaste that we all feel over the recent detentions and hostile measures taken by the Chinese," Mr. Christopher said. "Certainly these actions will have a negative effect on my trip to China as well as on the subsequent review of the favored-nation trade question."
At a news conference today with Australia's Foreign Minister, Gareth Evans, Mr. Christopher stepped up his criticism, saying he was deeply concerned that instead of improving its human rights record, China was "going in the wrong direction." Consulted Lawmakers
On Tuesday, he said he had called a handful of Congressional leaders to make sure that lawmakers still supported his four-day trip to China, and that they endorsed his plan to proceed. He is to arrive in Beijing on Friday.
Mr. Christopher may also have wanted to assure Congress that recent good-will gestures toward China did not mean the United States was wavering on its stand that Beijing must make substantial progress on human rights if it expected to win renewal of its preferential trade status in June.
Among the recent conciliatory gestures are a move by the Administration to expedite the launching of a Hughes Aircraft Company satellite from China and a decision to seek increased military cooperation with Beijing. Talk of Military Cooperation
In another sign that the United States is eager to offer China incentives, the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Frank Wisner, acknowledged that various types of increased military cooperation would be possible if the Chinese made progress on human rights. Among the possibilities are regular meetings between Secretary of Defense William Perry and China's Defense Minister, a joint commission on the conversion of military technology to civilian use, joint peacekeeping and disaster relief projects, he said.
The Chinese have opened regular formal talks with Washington about signing an international accord controlling ballistic missile technology, but the discussions have yielded little progress, senior Administration officials say.
In another indication that the Administration's incentive strategy was not working, Mr. Christopher raised doubts today about increased military links, saying that the United States "may not be able to broaden" the dialogue in the way it had initially thought possible. Why He Went Ahead With Trip
The Secretary of State could have found a face-saving excuse if he had wanted to postpone or even cancel his trip to China and cut short the rest of his 10-day trip to the Far East, which began on Sunday. The Administration had just transformed its role from occasional hand-holder to a mediator and host in two foreign policy crises -- the Bosnian war, and the massacre in Hebron, which has blocked resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.
Asked last weekend why he was going ahead with the tour, Mr. Christopher said that events in Bosnia and the Middle East had already led him to cancel his trip to Australia once before, that a stop in Japan was crucial to underscore the demand for greater access to the Japanese domestic market, and that China needed to hear the Administration's stern message on human rights from the Secretary of State in person.
Finally, since Russia's Foreign Minister, Andrei V. Kozyrev, did not jump at Mr. Christopher's invitation to go to Washington to discuss ways to work together to end the war in Bosnia, Mr. Christopher decided to meet him more than halfway -- in the eastern port of Vladivostok.

Who: Maryland (9-1) vs. Stony Brook (8-2).
When: Friday, 8 p.m.
Where: Comcast Center.
Internet: ESPN3.com.
DMV radio: 105.7 FM, 980 AM, 1300 AM.
Coaches: Terps — Mark Turgeon (Second season, 26-16). Seawolves — Steve Pikiell (Eighth season, 103-120)
Of the Maryland basketball team's nonconference games outside of the major names (read: Kentucky, Northwestern and George Mason), two stood out to Turgeon and potential pitfalls for his young Terrapins. The first was LIU-Brooklyn, which Maryland dispatched, 91-74, on Nov. 16. The second is Stony Brook. The up-and-coming program has won five of six road games this season and could challenge for the first NCAA tournament appearance in program history behind a veteran lineup, while the Terps are coming off a nine-day break since a 71-38 win over Monmouth and ensuing academic finals. Maryland has just three games left before ACC play, and Turgeon figures this matchup to be far more of a challenge than recent routs against UMES, South Carolina State and the Hawks.
1. Start strong? Bursting out of the gates and burying Stony Brook early would help quell Turgeon's trepidations. This means getting out in transition, using their top-to-bottom athleticism and not repeating this mental miscues that, against greater teams, could lead to their demise. This, of course, segues into the second question…
2. Keep the focus? Turgeon was clearly displeased with Maryland's season-high 23 turnovers against Monmouth, and most of those came simply on poor decision-making in transition and in the back court. The Hawks employed a half-court pressure defense the Terps really haven't seen this season, and the coughed the ball up a few times as a result. But they've had nine days to regroup, re-energize and make a statement for Turgeon. Playing a mistake-free game would go a long way towards gaining momentum heading into ACC play.
3. Execute the offense? More so than the turnovers, Turgeon was worried about Maryland's lack of offensive execution against Monmouth, some of which can be attributed to the back-court disruption. The Terps will need to execue their secondary break and then transition smoothly into the offense, relying on a pass-first mentality to hit the open cutter and find shots.
48: Points by which Maryland beat Stony Brook in the teams' only previous meeting, on Dec. 6, 2000.
10: Times in school history that the Terps have strung together a 10-game winning streak. Beating Stony Brook would make it 11.
69.2: Percentage of field goals Maryland has assisted on during the current nine-game winning streak.
"I think Coach is really worried about the game, because he knows how good this team is. This is a good test for us to prove to him that we're working hard and getting better." — Pe'Shon Howard
"I don't know if it's me or we're so darn immature, but we're just not improving at the rate I wanted us to. I know we're getting better, but I want us to be great yesterday, and that's just not happening." — Turgeon

Parents Worry About U. of Tokyo Calendar Shift
October 26, 2012
The University of Tokyo is planning to shift the start of its academic year to the fall, and the move has been greeted with approval by many higher education leaders in Japan, who expect the move to prompt similar shifts elsewhere. The idea is that Japanese universities will benefit by being on a similar academic calendar to that used in much of the Western world, and that high school graduates can enjoy a summer vacation rather than starting their programs in the spring. But The Japan Daily Press reports that many parents are objecting to the plan. Their concern: They aren't sure what they will do with their children between when they graduate high school and when they enroll at a university.

"I don't know what the big deal is when people talk about how you might get traded. It's not like you're getting released, and when all is said and done, it's just a rumor. I like working with the Mets, I feel like I have a future here, and I want to play for them, but if that's not the way they feel then I'll go play somewhere else. I mean, some guys think it's the end of the world when they hear they might get traded, but when a team is talking about moving a guy like Aubrey Huff to get you, and you're part of a deal that involved Manny Ramirez, I take it as a compliment."
That pretty much sums up Milledge's style of play as well. A gifted athlete who sometimes gets mistaken for lackadaisical simply because he makes incredible plays look so easy, this game will always be fun, because Milledge just rolls with whatever happens to be going on at the time. That includes not just who he's playing for, but where he's playing.
"In this game you are not promised anything," Milledge says from the dugout, "anything can happen."
In this case Milledge is talking about center field at Shea Stadium, a position currently locked up by Carlos Beltran. Milledge played 110 games in the minors this season, and with the exception of three games near the end of the year where he was the DH at Double-A, they were all as a center fielder. Some players, especially top prospects, would be defiant. Milledge on the other hand has spent his AFL season splitting time between center and left.
"He's a great player," Milledge says of Beltran, "and if I break into the big leagues playing along side him, that's what I'm going to do, because if nothing else I can learn from him. I'm being smart down here, I'm getting comfortable in left, and if they ask me to play right, I'll do that too. I'm ready to play anywhere, because I just want to play."
It seems unlikely the Mets are going to keep him from playing. They happily gave him permission to play on Team USA, in part because it's something Milledge has done since he was 16 years old.
"It wasn't really a new experience for me because I've been playing with those teams for so long, but it is a different style of baseball," but despite his history with the squad, even Milledge had to think twice before accepting the invitation, "This year was the toughest for me, because I knew there was a chance that if I stayed I could go up to Triple-A for the playoffs, and I wanted to do that, but it's such a good time, and such a good experience, I stayed with it."
"I've had good percentages in previous years, and I actually got better once I moved up to Double-A [where he went 11 for 16] so I'm not sure I'd call that a focus down here. I'm not really sure there is any one thing I'm focused on. I'm just trying to get better, get some more at bats and get comfortable on the corners."
Every once in awhile though the numbers give Milledge away. There was much speculation heading into this season that the next grand jump forward for the top Mets prospect would be his power, but after hitting just eight homers in 425 at bats Milledge tried to downplay the predictions about his power early in the AFL season.
"You never know if power is really going to come out," Milledge said during the first week of the AFL season, "you have to work with what you have, because if you try to do something you're not built to do the rest of your game will suffer."
So he's not going to be a power hitter...or is he. Milledge may claim to not be a power hitter, but the AFL season is hinting that maybe that power surge is on the way. After just those eight homers during the regular season he's crushed four in just under 70 AFL at bats. While this is the cream of the crop for hitters, it's also some of the top pitchers in the minors, and suddenly Lastings Milledge is turning on the ball.
Which just about fits him. Not even injury seems to be able to slow down the development of the Mets prospect. In a league where teams have literally been known to shut players down for a hangnail Milledge slid hard into third base a week into the season and bruised his heel. While the Mets must have been collectively holding their breath, Milledge knew he'd be fine, and stayed on the roster, resting just four games before coming back. How would his body respond? With an 11 game hitting streak that included three round trippers, seven RBI and 10 runs scored. So how is that heel?
"Oh, that was nothing, just a little nick, I'm fine, feeling good." he says with a smile, "I just want to play."

Calculate your minimum monthly payment and work out how much you should be paying to take control of your debt.
When you look over your credit card statement each month, the closing balance on your card should be the first thing you notice. However, if you take a closer look at all the information contained in your statement, you will also see the words "Minimum monthly payment" followed by an amount.
This number is the minimum payment you are required to make towards your credit card debt for that particular month in order to meet your obligations under the credit card contract. But how is this amount calculated and what are the financial implications of only making minimum monthly repayments? Read on to find out.
What is the minimum I need to pay on my credit card?
Your card issuer sets the minimum monthly repayment on your credit card. This amount varies between providers and is calculated either as a percentage of your closing balance, usually from 2-3%, or charged at a set amount of between $20 to $30. As an example, let's look at the minimum monthly payment requirements of some popular credit card issuers:
- American Express credit cards: The higher of $30 or 2.5% of your closing balance
- Westpac credit cards: The higher of $10 or 2% of the closing balance
- CommBank credit cards: The higher of $25 or 2% of the closing balance
- NAB credit cards: The higher of $25 or 2% of the closing balance
- ANZ credit cards: The higher of $25 or 2% of the closing balance
The minimum allowable repayment amount will be shown on your monthly credit card statement, or you can find the minimum payment limits in your credit card contract.
Will I be repaying my debt if I just pay the minimum?
Ideally, you'll be able to pay your credit card balance off in full each month. This will ensure that you won't have any further interest charged on the amount you owe and help you prevent your debt spiralling out of control.
If you only make the minimum monthly payment, you will still be paying off the money you owe, but you'll be doing so at the slowest rate possible. In fact, rather than paying off the initial credit you borrowed, a large portion of your repayments will go towards paying off interest charges.
There are two factors that make up your minimum monthly repayment amount: the balance portion and the interest portion.
How to calculate the balance portion of your repayment
- On a $5,000 card balance with a minimum repayment of 3% for example, you'd need to pay at least $150 each month.
- You can calculate how much 3% of your balance is with the following formula: (3/100) x (your balance) = (your balance repayment amount).
How to calculate the interest portion of your repayment
Unless your card has an offer of 0% for balance transfers or purchases, interest is also added on top of the amount you charge to your card each month. Find out how you can estimate the amount of interest you'll accrue below:
- To estimate the amount of interest included in your monthly repayment, use this calculation: (interest rate, eg, 15% /100) x (your balance, eg, $5,000) ÷ (months, eg, 12) = (your initial interest repayment amount). Using this calculation, you can see that your interest payment will be $62.50.
- In this case, the interest portion of your repayment will be around 41.6% of a minimum payment of $150.
As you continue to pay down your debt, your interest charges will also reduce each month as your balance decreases. Similarly, if you only pay the minimum repayment and your debt continues to grow with interest, your interest payments could increase with time.
What will happen if I just make the minimum credit card repayment?
While it may sometimes be tempting to only make the minimum monthly repayment on your credit card, you should avoid doing this whenever possible for a few reasons:
- Repayment takes longer. It will take you a much longer time to repay the money you owe. Depending on your balance and the card's interest rate, this could add several years to your repayment period.
- It costs more. The longer you carry a debt on your credit card, the more interest will be charged to your account. This means your credit card debt could end up costing you thousands of dollars more and will take much longer to pay back.
- It will affect your credit score. If you continually carry a balance on your credit card that takes up a large portion of your overall card limit, this can impact on your credit score.
If you want a better idea of just how much only making the minimum credit card repayment will affect your finances, check your credit card statement. This shows how long it will take you to repay your debt if you only repay the minimum as well as the total interest you will have to pay.
Matt's minimum repayments
Meet Matt, a 30-year-old teacher from Brisbane. Matt has a $5,000 debt on a credit card with an interest rate of 15% p.a., but he's unsure about the most efficient way to pay down his debt. The minimum monthly payment on his latest credit card statement is $102 (2% of his closing balance), but Matt decides to calculate how much he can save if he starts putting money aside and paying $250 off his card each month.
As you can see in the table below, Matt can save a massive $6,323 by making higher repayments and paying his debt off in less than two years. However, if he were to continue to only make the minimum required payment, it would take Matt almost 24 years to get out of debt. This clearly demonstrates why you should always try to pay more than the minimum monthly payment if possible.

Paying down a credit card debt with a promotional interest rate
If you sign up for a credit card with a special promotional interest rate on purchases or balance transfers for an introductory period, you'll need to consider a few additional factors when calculating your repayment requirements:
- Revert rate. While 0% p.a. interest may apply to your balance transfer or purchases now, you need to be aware of what interest rate the card will revert to once the promotional period ends.
- Length of promotional period. How long does the low or zero interest period last? Depending on the credit card you select, these introductory promos last for anywhere between 3 and 24 months. The revert rate will apply to your balance as soon as the promotional period ends, so you will want to pay off your debt before that occurs.
- Additional purchases. If you make more purchases on your credit card, your total balance and minimum monthly payment will both increase. You will need to be aware whether your minimum monthly payments will then go towards paying off your initial balance or towards repaying your new purchases.
Finally, it's crucial to be aware that making only the minimum repayment each month will not result in the debt being paid down within the promotional period. This means you will need to contend with a much higher revert rate applying to your balance, which will increase the amount you need to repay and lead you deeper into debt.
Have more questions?
What happens if I fail to make even the minimum monthly payment before the due date?
Fees and charges for late payment may apply. This could lead you further into debt and also damage your credit score.
Where can I access a copy of my credit card contract?
This will be available from your card issuer.
Will I still be charged interest if I make the minimum repayment?
Yes, interest charges will still apply.
Is there anything I can do to reduce the interest charged on my debt?
Yes, you may wish to move your debt over to a new balance transfer credit card.

text: Ok so after trying EVERYTHING I can think of to get this resolved.... I'm slowly losing my mind. Basic history. For a couple of years now I've been using my Sony Bravia HD as my display monitor for my PC. Since using it I've hardly ever had a problem with it save for one. This one problem is something I've experienced only a couple of times in those years and I have it again now with ALL the same symptoms except this time I haven't been able to solve it! I came home one day (with my PC left running) and there was nothing on the display which I thought was weird because I'd done nothing before I left except left it to download. I've now.... after spending hours tinkering, been able to get my display back by hooking it back up to my monitor but I WANT it back to my HD Sony Bravia. Well, I've updated the graphics card (which really shouldnt have been neccessary as the driver was fairly up to date and worked fine before anyway). I've tried going into display settings but there's nothing to directly TELL windows to look for a different display device. I've tried different HD slots and nothing, different cables and the cables work fine. The interesting thing is this. one of the symptoms I had before when I had this problem was that when I plugged in a lead from the PC to the default dell monitor AND also plugged in a HD lead for hd to hd from pc to tv, what I get is a blank desktop on the dell monitor. everything suddenly dissapears (no icons, taskbar NOTHING, just the background) and nothing on my TV. This has happened before but I've got it working, Not sure how but I think a reboot with just the HD lead in did it, doesn't work now. Then when I unplug the hd lead from the graphics card and leave the monitor lead to the dell monitor IN, the desktop comes back. What I've done before is shutdown or restart with just the HD lead to TV in but this isn't working now. I've changed NOTHING settings wise on my TV since it was working and the same with my PC other than uninstalling and reinstalling some C++ and .net framework 4 which has no relation to this problem. Can somebody PLEASE tell me if there is something I'm missing because I've had this problem before but it's always come back. I really don't want to revert back to this monitor. PLEASE HELP!!!!

1/2 cup milk
1 Tbs. butter, melted
1 (15-oz) can whole kernel corn, well drained or about 1 1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
Oh my goodness, I love those! Trouble is, I am afraid to deep fry for fear of things catching fire. I can be s uch a chicken at times. Now, I am going to try a recipe for corn cakes soon as I get some polenta.
Oh my goodness! Anything you make looks delicious including these fritters! Never made them, but they sure look good!!
I have not tasted these before. They look delicious!
Yes mom use to make them...but I have never heard of having them with icing sugar and maple syrup!! Sounds wonderful!!
Corn fritters are one of my favorites. I grew up on them, fed them to our kids, grandkids and make them pretty often.
We always put butter on ours and have never heard of syrup or powdered sugar used on them....it must be delicious.
I am going to make these for my bunco group next month and I think they will love me forever and ever. :) Maybe with a good little dip of some sort.....
Would you believe I've never had a corn fritter much less made any? They look so good, I'm not sure why I haven't. Certainly a great time to try now that I have your recipe :)
You know what, LDH? I've never made these. But I am going to! Thanks for the recipe.
I want to make them NOW, but I have to go to bed. ha! Susan
All I do know at this minute, is that there are way too many miles between your house and mine! I can hardly stand looking at your "corn fritter" pictures, and reading about them, with my hot cup of coffee in my hand. I love corn fritters and forget all about them, until of course, I am reminded of them in such a beautiful way! Thanks for sharing, for making it look easy, and for another walk for me, down memory lane.
These look fabulous, Lorraine! I can't remember when I last ate a corn fritter now I want some..real bad! Also, thank you for your kind comment about losing Hunter. Have a blessed day!

The NJSIAA announced Wednesday that all state tournament action would be pushed back a week -- but too late to stop Vineland from arriving at Lenape in a first round SJ Group 4 girls' soccer game.
"We're getting ready to play Vineland right now," Lenape assistant AD Brian Laddey said about 1:10 p.m. this afternoon. "Their bus just got here."
The game was scheduled to start at 2 p.m.
Lenape is the five-time Group 4 state champion.
The NJSIAA's website was down and the organization was not sending out emails because of technical difficulties.
But the assistant to executive director Steve Timko said all tournament action would be pushed back a week because of the impact of Hurricane Sandy, with soccer and field hockey starting on Monday.
As expected, the state football tournament was pushed back a week. The new schedule:
Nov. 16-17: First round
Nov. 30-Dec. 1: Second round.
Dec. 7-8-9: Finals.
That schedule allows for no disruption to Thanksgiving games.
The NJSIAA said it will regard next weekend as Week 8 of the regular season. However, teams may play this weekend -- or next Wednesday -- if both teams mutually agree.
Many South Jersey football teams are expected to play this weekend, with several games moved from Friday to Saturday.
Others could be played next Wednesday.
Schools in the shore area and others hardest hit by Sandy likely will play the weekend of Nov. 9-10 for their eight games.
The football seeding will be Sunday Nov. 11.

The revised master plan for Masdar City contained a lot of optimism and few surprises.
The revised master plan for Masdar City contained a lot of optimism and few surprises.
With its vast solar plants, car-free streets, and world-first status as a zero-waste, zero-carbon city in the desert, Masdar City has been the target of skepticism ever since its launch in the heady days of 2006.
But few could forgive the state-owned project for shooting for the moon back then, when developers and designers were just starting out an achieving-the-impossible streak that would last for almost three years. Sure, Masdar City was ambitious, but so was everybody else.
In that sense, the long-awaited revised master plan that hit the streets last week contained few surprises. It was always expected to include scale-backs – despite the protestations of the top dogs at Masdar to the contrary – and changes to such a bold scheme in the current climate were not only likely, they were inevitable.
The first headline from the Masdar camp is the cutting of the monumental bottom line of the project, with an expected 15% or US $3.3 billion, shaved off the final bill by cutting 'unviable' technology. The second, of course, is the success so far, including the completion of the first six buildings of the Masdar Institute, residential units that use 54% less water and 51% less electricity than the UAE average, 30% of electricity demand provided by rooftop photovoltaic panels and 75% of the buildings' hot water provided by rooftop thermal collectors.
That's the good news – taking up the first page and a half of the press release, of course – but there have been scale backs too. The first thing to go is the personal rapid transit (PRT), or 'pod car' network, that was designed to shuttle residents back and forth from their homes. The revised plan abandoned plans for this network to be city wide, limiting its use to inside the grounds of the institute.
A sceptical reader may think that part of that US $3.3 billion saved may have come from this cut back, but Alan Frost, Masdar director, told Construction Week that it was the technology, not the money, that was behind the decision.
"It's clearly not about the cost, because the cost of the PRT will go down with volume anyway. What we've realized is that things like electric buses and taxis and point-to-point technology have changed so quickly in the last two or three years. It doesn't make sense to lock ourselves into the PRT when we have a two year window before we actually have to put a transport system on the ground for new tenants," he said.
Gerard Evenden, a senior partner at designers Foster + Partners, added that a lot of the technology used in the PRT system was becoming standard for car manufacturers, and that this would only increase in the next 24 months. For now, the designers are keeping an open mind about potential alternatives.
"We never expected (it) when we began the project, when there were probably only one or two hybrids around, but now the technology is advancing so quickly. We've got the PRT up and running and that's working and shuttling into the city, but what we want to do is widen our search and look at what some of these other manufacturers are doing," he said.
Learning through time is definitely the message coming out of Masdar in 2010, and Evenden says that other discoveries during the design process have had an effect on the final master plan.
He explains that Masdar is designed around the concept of a triangle, made up of three points – technology, orientation of the buildings, and materials. The two latter points have far more effect than people think, Evenden said.
"With the environment we've created up there, as you walk around you will see that the temperature actually feels lower. We're now getting real data back, which shows the temperature is dramatically falling compared to the centre of Abu Dhabi.
"So what we think is that what we're doing with the orientation and materials is becoming so successful that hopefully the pedestrian will be able to walk around more, and in the long term, we actually think there will be a reduction in the amount of transportation we need," he said.
Orientation and materials also happen to be a lot cheaper than technology, and it's clear that an emphasis on these two points of the triangle will help Masdar City cut its enormous budget. Evenden says that this has a direct affect on contractors, who need to be persuaded of the merits of responsible construction techniques. Such seemingly small factors, he said, are paramount to the final sustainability of the design.
"One of the things that has come out in the production of these buildings is that we also need to be pushing the contractors and pushing forward methods of construction, because it is all about sealing our buildings better, procuring our buildings better, and building them better," he said.
"Everybody likes to talk about the active systems and the smart systems, but for us that is just a small part of it. That's the technology on top that produces the power but if you're not getting the other two components right you're not going to be successful."

Is it Sony Ericsson day here at Mobile Choice? Hot on the heels of the supposed eight-megapixel CS8 Sony E cam-phone, is this story from Swedish website Mobil.se, reporting that a Sony E PR has said the 12.1-megapixel camera/music super-phone Idou will launch in October.
The Idou (concept name only) was unveiled at February's Mobile World Congress as the flagship device for Sony Ericsson's new Entertainment Unlimited line, a series of top-end multimedia phones that merges the company's successful Cybershot and Walkman lines.
It features a 3.5-inch touch-screen, GPS and is the first phone to run on the new open-source Symbian operating system based on Nokia's S60 5th edition. For a demo of how it works, check out our hands-on video here.

ICC World Twenty20 2012's Group A has two former champions in India and England. MS Dhoni and his men won the inaugural edition of World T20 in South Africa in 2007 while England, under Paul Collingwood tasted their first ever global success in 2010 in the Caribbean. The third team in Group A is from the qualifiers, Afghanistan.
Also read previews of Group B; Group C; Group D
Group A Preview
Group A Teams with seedings (Q2 denotes, qualifier 2) Top two progress to Super Eight
England (A1)
India (A2)
Afghanistan (Q2)
Super Eight Groups: Group 1: A1, B2, C1, D2. Group 2: A2, B1, C2, D1
Note: If the third third team in the group knocks one of the top two seeded teams out, it will take the place of the team it replaced. (Example: If Afghanistan replace England, then they will be A1 in Super Eight)
Group A Fixtures
Wednesday September 19, 19:30 IST Afghanistan Vs India, R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo
Friday September 21, 19:30 IST Afghanistan Vs England, R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo
Sunday September 23, 19:30 IST England Vs India, R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo
On paper, India and England are favourites to progress to the Super Eights. Two from each of the four groups will feature in the next round while four of the 12 initial outfits go home early.
Even though India and England will be backed to have a smooth ride into the next phase, Afghanistan could be a surprise package. T20 format is such that, there is a chance for even the minnows to stun fancied teams. Let us see.
England (No. 1 in ICC T20 Rankings, defending champions)
England squad: Stuart Broad (captain), Jonathan Bairstow, Ravi Bopara, Tim Bresnan, Danny Briggs, Jos Buttler, Jade Dernbach, Steven Finn, Alex Hales, Craig Kieswetter (wicketkeeper), Michael Lumb, Eoin Morgan, Samit Patel, Graeme Swann, Luke Wright.
Strengths: Fine assembly of T20 specialists including a lot of all-rounders. Eoin Morgan, Jos Buttler, Alex Hales, Jonathan Bairstow and Craig Kieswetter have made their mark in T20 format. Steven Finn's pace could prove handy.
Weaknesses: Inexperience in subcontinent conditions. Absence of Kevin Pietersen.
Key players: Eoin Morgan, Jose Buttler, Steven Finn, Graeme Swann.
India (No. 7 in ICC T20 Rankings, won trophy in 2007)
India squad: MS Dhoni (captain and wicketkeeper), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Manoj Tiwary, Irfan Pathan, Ravichandran Ashwin, Zaheer Khan, Lakshmipathy Balaji, Piyush Chawla, Harbhajan Singh, Ashok Dinda.
Strengths: Batting. Batsmen like Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina and captain MS Dhoni can play big shots at will. T20 format is often won by the might of batting. India could heavily rely on their batters to deliver their second T20 trophy. Also the presence of spinners, both regular and part-timers will be crucial to India's chances.
Ravichandran Ashwin has proved his worth as one of the best spinners in T20. He could be vital. Also the return of Harbhajan Singh will give the side huge experience.
Weaknesses: No genuine quick bowler in the side. Only a few excellent fielders. India have to tighten their ground fielding and should not leak many runs.
Key players: Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin, MS Dhoni.
Afghanistan (No ranking since they have played less than eight T20 Internationals since August 2010. Second straight WT20 appearance. Knocked out in first round in 2010)
Afghanistan squad: Nawroz Mangal (captain), Dawlat Zadran, Gulbadin Naib, Hamid Hassan, Izzatullah Dawlatzai, Karim Sadeq, Mohammad Javed Ahmadi, Mohammad Nasim Baras, Mohammad Nabi, Mohammad Shehzad, Mohammad Asghar Stanikzai, Najibullah Zadran, Samiullah Shinwari, Shafiqullah Shafaq, Shapur Zadran.
Strengths: Playing without fear as they have nothing to lose. They are in their second World T20 tournament. All Afghan players will go out their and enjoy their game. They will not be thinking of results as they are not expected to win both their matches as the heavyweights.
Weaknesses: Lack of top-quality international games. They just had one ODI against Australia recently.
Key players: Hamid Hassan, Mohammad Shahzad, Mohammad Nabi, Nowroz Mangal.

"I think the media gets a lot excited at such happenings," Chappell told reporters on Sunday when he arrived here a day later than the rest of the squad due to the unavailability of air tickets.
"Differences are a fairly normal thing happening in cricket. But you can understand I am not in a position to speak about it to you at this stage."
The coach-captain rift surfaced in Zimbabwe when Chappell asked Ganguly to consider his position as captain before the first Test because of his poor batting form.
The spat snowballed into a major controversy last week when a confidential e-mail from Chappell to officials of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was leaked to the media by unknown sources.
Chappell, 56, a former Australian captain who took over in June, reportedly said in the e-mail that Ganguly was not "physically or mentally" fit to lead the side and even threatened to quit if the captain was not changed.
"I sent a private and confidential e-mail to the president of BCCI," said Chappell.
"It did not remain confidential though I would have preferred it to have remained so. What else can I say at this stage?"
Chappell and Ganguly are due to appear before a high-powered BCCI panel that includes three former captains, Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri and Srinivas Venkataraghvan, in Mumbai on Tuesday to discuss the crisis.
The controversy overshadowed India's first Test series win outside the subcontinent since 1986, even though the 2-0 success over a weakened Zimbabwe provided only a limited morale boost.
The wins increased Ganguly's record as India's most successful captain to 21 Test victories, seven more than second-placed Mohammad Azharuddin's tally of 14.

Surprisingly, until today, only a limited number of analytical models of diffusion have been accessible in the literature. Now, there is " Contaminant Transport in Soils and Sediments", which provides more than 40 analytical models of diffusion and advective-diffusion in one, two, and three layer systems subject to a wide range of boundary and initial conditions. This text illustrates applications to contaminant transport in sediments and soils, including porewater and vapor transport, and also provides Mathcad spreadsheets to aid in the use of these models. The authors supply complete details of the solutions to the models for those who wish for a deeper understanding. For others, who do not have the time or the need, the solutions themselves are ready to be picked up and used. Choy and Reible use their 20-plus years of cumulative experience to create a thorough exploration of fate and transport models. This comprehensive text furnishes an invaluable reference for students and environmental professionals.

Target: Former President Lech Walesa and Polish National Prosecutors Council
Goal: Hold Lech Walesa accountable for anti-gay hate speech
Recently, former President of Poland Lech Walesa engaged in hate speech that targeted the gay community. Walesa commented that gays should not be allowed to engage in politics and that if they do, they should have to sit behind a wall. Not only is this extremely disrespectful towards all members of the gay community, it is outright bigotry.
Walesa needs to be held accountable for his words. A national committee has filed a complaint that will be reviewed by prosecutors, but there is no guarantee that Walesa will be punished. Since Poland is a member of the European Union, sexual orientation falls under the spectrum of groups for which protection from hate speech is required. Instances of hate speech such as this put current gay members of Polish parliament in danger and may very well prevent other members, future or present, from coming out. Walesa is only further disenfranchising a minority and to not punish him implies that members of the gay community do not deserve protection.
Poland only recently elected its first openly gay member of Parliament, and comments like Walesa's stand in the way of progress. It is essential that prosecutors find Lech Walesa guilty. By signing this petition, you will encourage prosecutors to hold Walesa responsible for the hateful comments he made.
Dear National Prosecutors Council
Former President Lech Walesa needs to be convicted of hate speech. Recently, he commented that gay people do not have a right to be in politics. Not only is Walesa misinformed, but his comments fall under the definition of hate speech. Hate speech vilifies or condemns a group of people that share a common characteristic or belief.
As member of the European Union, Poland is required to protect the gay community from hate speech. If you do not punish him, you are implying that gay Parliament members like Robert Biedron do not deserve the same rights that heterosexual Parliament members do. You are also implying that members of the gay community are second class citizens that do not deserve to be protected under the law. Not prosecuting Walesa would be a step back on the human rights front.
When the time comes to make a ruling on the complaint that has been filed, I urge you to continue making forward progress and punish Lech Walesa.

One Injured in Officer-Involved Crash in San Antonio
An officer-involved accident on Interstate 10 westbound stalled traffic on Wednesday just around lunch time.
Details about the Officer-Involved Crash in San Antonio
At least one person was reportedly injured on in an accident yesterday that involved a police officer from the San Antonio Police Department.
The accident happened at around 11:45 a.m. on Wednesday just before the lunch hour, when the San Antonio Fire Department had received calls from witnesses at the scene of the accident saying that a San Antonio Police Department patrol car had been hit by another driver at Interstate 10 and Huebner.
KENS 5 News in San Antonio is reporting that, according to firefighters, the officer was not injured in the accident, but that the driver of the other vehicle was taken to a nearby hospital. The extent of the injuries of the other driver are currently unknown.
Traffic was slowed down to just one lane in the area while emergency crews worked to clear the scene of the accident.
Important Information about Police Officers in the United States
According to a 2013 press release from the Federal Bureau of Investigation on statistics about law enforcement officers that were killed and assaulted:
- 76 law enforcement officers were killed on the line of duty in 2013.
- 49 law enforcement officers were killed accidentally, the majority of which (23) were killed in automobile accidents.
