Video: Jameer Nelson derails the Wizards' clock-saving ploy
By Rob Mahoney
It's fairly common practice for NBA point guards to "walk the dog" — a maneuver by which they delay their acceptance of the inbounds pass (which is rolled upcourt instead of passed outright) and thus prevent the immediate starting of the clock. It's a good strategic move for those looking to make the most of what precious few seconds remain on the game clock, though not altogether necessary in some of the cases in which it's used.
The ploy is so commonly used that on Monday night, Orlando's Jameer Nelson had it pegged from the start. When Washington's John Wall signaled to his teammate, Jan Vesely, to roll the ball in, Nelson lurked at halfcourt. He darted toward the ball and Wall hesitated — likely keeping the mere four seconds remaining on the clock in mind — just long enough for a diving Nelson to reverse the play, recover the ball and flip it to Josh McRoberts for an easy dunk at the buzzer. It was ultimately just a single basket in what turned out to be an embarrassing, 29-point loss for the Magic, but an incredible display of effort that upset one of the stranger clock-saving devices in basketball.

Logo concept for my brother's Woodworking biz.
Design by Cosmic
I think this has a lot of potential, although it feels a bit light. Have you experimented with a thicker line weight for legibility?
Russ Ryan
Looks interesting. Might be interesting to see this as a branded (burnt) into the wood, also I agree more line weight couldn't hurt.
Brenton Little
@Eric Ressler @Russ Ryan yeah, I was thinking the same after seeing not just black on white. I'll give it a shot.
Lj Gay
I like the lightness of the type but perhaps a thicker line for the diamond shape...
love, alison
This is super nice- I love the slight wonkiness of the type, even though the mark itself is super tight!
Matthew Novak
I love this for so many reasons
Jeremy Teff
Nice. Really love the feel of this.

text: Reconstructionism emphasizes that Judaism is a full civilization, not just a religion. We have languages, literatures, arts, music, and folkways, in addition to religious texts and practices. It's easy enough to see what this means in the context of secular Jewish life in Israel, and even in the context of historically isolated Jewish communities prior to Emancipation. But what role do these secular aspects of Jewish civilization play in the lives of Diaspora Jews today? The klezmer revival provides an interesting case-study for this question. Starting about 25 years ago in Berkeley, Eastern European Jewish European dance music was re-branded as "klezmer music" and revitalized. Why, at this historical moment, did klezmer catch on? What does the success of the klezmer revival say about contemporary Jewish identity, peoplehood, and our sense of belonging?

Carverfest Amps & Khorns finally
That amp ended up in my garage so next up was the Sophia Baby amp. It sounded ok, I think that amp sounds better on my KG4s but that was what stayed on the Khorns for a few months.
I finally decided to give the Carverfest amps a go on the Khorns. Wow, I think I finally found the match. The bass is finally alive, the midrange is warm and detailed and highs are there as well.
Finally this set up is coming together. These are running mono block but I think one amp in stereo mode would would be all I need.
Still need a preamp but using the Grant Fidelity DAC is working ok for now. Cable management ?
One of these days I'll put the metal faceplate on, these are Eucalyptus amps stand I made, although I think I'll change the feet on them.
Anyway, I am glad I finally put these amps on these speakers. I know a lot of folks talk about 300b tunes on a Khorn, don't know why but these sound a lot better.

I bought a 2G Phone on eBay. It came cleaned and installed with 3.1.2 - I think it has been used in germany with a T-Mobile Contract - the seller made it very easy for himself and just flashed 3.1.2 via iTunes on the phone, and I think it has never been jailbreaked or sim unlocked before.
I tried to unlock using Pwnage Tool, and flashed a custom firmware on the phone.
But I still get "no service" when using german E-Plus SIM-Card in the phone.
I read that this could be a circumstance, where you will be stuck with the "no service" issue for a long time - in cydia, a red article says so. What I can't fand is any information from the dev-team on that issue - or does anyone know something to correct this problem?
I even tried to find Threads concerning this problem, but wasn't able to find them.
Any help would be appreciated.

Kevin Davis - Current Research
Computational Models of the Auditory System
Current modeling efforts in the laboratory are directed towards simulating neuronal activity within the spectral processing pathway in the auditory system. Psychophysical experiments in humans have established that our ability to determine the elevation of a sound source depends on the acoustic properties of the outer ear, which adds direction-dependent notches to the spectra of free-field sounds. Physiological and behavioral data suggest that the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) initiates a pathway specialized to process this cue. Type O units in the inferior colliculus (IC), one of three major response types in the IC, are a main target of DCN projections and thus serve as the midbrain component of the spectral processing pathway. Over the past 30 years, a conceptual model of the neural circuitry in the deep DCN has emerged; a demonstration of a part of our corresponding computational model is shown below. In this simulation, the DCN's principal cells (P cells or output cells) receive inputs from two sources: excitatory inputs from the auditory nerve (AN) and inhibitory inputs from vertical cells (V). The simulated acoustic input for this model is pure tones of differing frequency and stimulus level. We are now extending this model to the IC (i.e., using the output of this model as the input to an IC neuron) and performing simulations to determine if the IC model can account fully for the response properties of type O units to both simple (tones) and complex stimuli (notches).
Computer simulation of neuronal activity in the dorsal cochlear nucleus. To explore how neurons in the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) respond to pure tones, click in receptive field of P cell to change the frequency and intensity of the tonal stimulus and observe the resultant activity in the model to the right. Note that when the frequency is in the middle of its range, auditory nerve (AN) fibers and DCN principal (P) cells respond to low-level stimuli, but at high levels, DCN vertical (V) cells start to fire and DCN P cells turn off.

Master's Degree Programs
Contact: Admissions
firstname.lastname@example.com | 800.322.5817
Master of Divinity (M.Div.)
The Master of Divinity prepares students to enter ministry as ordained religious leaders or as lay professional ministers. United's program emphasizes Bible, theology, ethics, evangelism, preaching and worship, ministry formation, church history, pastoral care and church renewal. It meets the requirements for ordination in most major Protestant denominations.
Comprehensive in academic focus and process, the Master of Divinity program includes rigorous coursework in both academic and practical disciplines, along with the intentional worship and community life necessary for personal and professional development in ministry.

M.Div. Concentrations and Emphases
M.Div. with Church Renewal Concentration
How can we bring new life to struggling congregations? The Master of Divinity concentration in Church Renewal at United Theological Seminary equips students to address this very question. The basic conviction of this program is that all renewal – whether of individuals, churches, or the Church Universal – begins with the work of the Holy Spirit. Renewal is not just about numbers. It is about creating faithful, committed disciples of Jesus Christ. We are engaged therefore in a vital conversation with church leaders about ways in which we can come alongside the work of the Spirit in leading people into lives of faithfulness. Students in this program learn not only from our full-time faculty, but from clergy who have been leaders in renewal at the local-church level. The church needs dynamic, well-equipped leaders. At United Theological Seminary, our goal is to produce such leaders in service to Jesus Christ.
United's Church Renewal Concentration now has two tracks or emphases:
Leadership Emphasis: This emphasis will enable students to provide leadership in a variety of areas related to the renewal of the church, including the renewal of worship, missions and evangelism, Christian initiation and formation, and media communications in an increasingly digital culture and world.
NEW! Emphasis in Global Charismatic Studies: This emphasis was created to meet the growing demand in theological education for instruction in Pentecostal, Charismatic and Renewal studies. Pentecostals and Charismatics comprise the fastest growing and largest Protestant constituency in the world. Its influence extends into mainline and evangelical Protestantism around the globe.
This new emphasis will meet a three-fold need:
1. To study the phenomenal growth of this global movement so we can understand and learn from it.
2. To provide students with sound theological, biblical and historical foundations for understanding this amazing movement of the Spirit.
3. To instruct in the implementation of sound Spirit-filled practices for the salvation of the world and the health and growth of the Church.
Students will choose 9 hours of courses from the following: Holiness, Pentecostal and Chrismatic Renewal Movements; Foundations for Church Renewal; Charismatic Renewal Theology; Global Christian Renewal; and Charismatic Ministry and Practices.
M.Div. with Care Giving Concentration
The Care Giving concentration provides a theological foundation for pastoral care giving ministry and incorporates human science theory and practical skills training appropriate for pastoral assessment and intervention.
M.Div. Concentration in Wesleyan and Methodist Studies
The M.Div. concentration in Wesleyan and Methodist Studies is designed for students who wish to go deeper in learning about the resources of this rich theological heritage. Students may engage with Wesley's sermons and other writings, Wesleyan hymns, the EUB Heritage of the UMC, practices of Methodist class meetings, and movements centered around holiness and sanctification.
For the M.Div. with Wesleyan-Methodist Studies Concentration students may select any course focused within the Wesleyan tradition including but not limited to the list below:
Wesleyan-Methodist Studies Electives (9 sem. hrs.)
CH519 Methodists, Evangelicals, United Brethren and Women's Ordination
CH603 John Wesley Seminar
CH605 Pietism
CH610 Evangelical United Brethren Seminar
CR515 Holiness, Pentecostal and Charismatic Renewal Movements
DN509 United Methodist General Conference
ST638 Wesleyan Theology
PW510 United Methodist Worship*
Electives (12 sem. hrs.)

All three remaining celebrities are worthy, but there can be only one winner of Dancing with the Stars Season 14, which comes to an end next week.
Katherine Jenkins, William Levy and Donald Driver might well be the least-known trio of finalists in DWTS history - at least heading into the season.
That said, they've made names for themselves over the past few months, and each has been as likable as they are talented out on the parquet.
Who will prevail? Let's size up the last men (and woman) standing:
William Levy
The Cuban Brad Pitt, also described by co-star Jaleel White as a one man Bachelorette party, is the blueprint of who/what does well on DWTS.
He's sexy. He's smooth. He uses his physical attributes well and he's earned the spot in the finale with solid, if unspectacular, dance moves.
William also seems like a humble guy with a great back story that people flock to. No one would be surprised if he hoists the Mirror Ball.
Odds of winning: 2:1.
Donald Driver
Aside from the fact that he's incredibly ripped, you'd never guess Driver were an NFL player. He's courteous, affable, smart and a good family man!
Donald hasn't been on top much this season, but he's been one of the most consistent dancers in the field. He hasn't had one bad night, really.
He's got some name recognition as a Super Bowl champion, is extremely likable, loves every second of the show and is our dark horse pick to win it.
Odds of winning: 3:2.
Katherine Jenkins
Pretty, cheerful and remarkably nice - seems like a pattern this season - the Welsh opera singer doesn't feel like a celebrity, which is to her advantage.
Female voters might actually support Katherine as an underdog, and it doesn't hurt that she's been one of the best dancers to watch all season.
Her performances are as beautiful as she is, and while she may have a bit of an uphill battle coming into the finale, she's by no means out of it.
Odds of winning: 5:1.
What do you think? Can Katherine upset one of these studs? Does Donald have the edge over William? Will it all come down to voter turnout?
Tell us (and vote for) who you think will win below!

Hi I want to bring it to the test. The Tornado is a big break to reduce violence or damage to life and property of people in urban areas.Before this time For security reasons, we have to hide out away from the danger zone at the Tornado attack is very powerful.
But at present. I think there's a way to make it against the Tornado. Weak or broken down in no time. And it can not make a loss.Urban public housing. Researching and documentaries from the information I have found that the Tornado can occur in approximately
15-30 minutes, but it will stop.The Tornado may be longer. And I think that during this time. We do have the power to resist it until it is safe.
I have a Method Shoot Tornado by Missile anti Tornado (a shot to the middle of body Tornado for broken it)Tornado Can not touchdown.
1. I think the Tornado has a a semi-solid Structure . It is like a cement wall on the move. See it crash at The big house. Buildings is break down.
Let´s face it you have to have the beat in your soul, you can´t learn that one...you can´t just work on your technique.. and it´s only William who feels the beat and moves accordingly... plus he is good looking, and a like-able guy which makes him a clear favourite...
….while Katherine has a great amount of discipline and perfected her technique, especially her footwork, she does not captivate the masses with her performance alone... on top of that she started off very strong and has being doing a little worse every week since then
... and then we have Donald , who does captivate and entertain the people, but his lack of thorough technique is covered up by very great tricks and moves.. but once you look closely you are reminded, that he is a football player after all, who is just as stiff as Katherine...

The wine is an alcoholic beverage which are derived and produced through the fermentation of fruits and most especially of grapes. Most wines are named after the fruit it is made from such as apples and berries. However, other wines which are made from starch-based materials are named based on its other ingredients. In addition, wines which are made from starch are more likely to resemble a beer than a wine due to its intense effect and flavor.
Different Types of Wine
There are several types of wine such as the rice, sparkling, dessert, champagne and blush. However, the most common of all are the red and white wine. So here, the red and the white wine will be given much elaboration. To be honest, these two are not the only types of wine but then, they are the most well-known. The white wine is the kind that has been fermented very intricately and does not have the skin included on its fermentation. The red wine, on the other hand, has been fermented with the skin of the black grape on and that is what basically causes its red color. The red wine has a much longer shelf life than the white wine because the latter is said to lack natural preservatives and can only last for two years after production. Generally, the variance between the red and white wine is dependent upon the type of grape and the varietal in which the wine is made with.
Red Wines
The red wines have a more vigorous flavor and are meatier in terms of food. Since food is brought up, the red wine is actually a great flavor enhancer whenever cooking delicious delicacies such as meats, pasta dishes and other striking meals. It adds to the taste of the food and makes even a simple dish look and taste special. Red wines are said to have a more intensified flavor that is evident through its bigger and bolder aroma and taste. That particular taste is somewhat enhanced and improved through time and age.
Kinds of Red Wines
The kinds and types of red wines are real easy to differentiate but the only hard thing to do is the process of finding the one that the discriminating palette would like.
The Burgundy is one of the many kinds of red wine that is made from Pinot Noir grapes. They are usually sold and found on Europe as it is a French wine. The Beaujolais is also a French wine but is made from Gamay grapes and is actually much fruitier in taste.
The Cabernet Sauvignon is the one containing tannins and is said to have one of the strongest characters in terms of wine. The Merlot, on the other hand, is the lighter version of the Sauvignon. It will not make you intoxicated easily but will definitely give you the same flavor but is just much softer and fruitier. The Cabernet Franc is the one that has a much more elegant appeal that is not only great as a red wine but can also be a wonderful decoration that can make an interior design much more attractive. Other types of red wine include the Carignan, Grenache, Petit Sirah, Zinfandel, Shiraz or Sirah and many others.
White Wines
The white wines have the same intensity and effect on a person, however, when it comes to being a condiment, it is more likely used for foods such as fish or poultry. White wines are not exactly white in color they are often yellow, straw-colored or gold. The white wines are said to have a much lighter and more refreshing taste.
Types of White Wines
The White Burgundy is the white wine which is made from Semillon grapes and Sauvignon Blanc. The Riesling is the one recognized by wine enthusiasts as the tier wine. The Fume' Blanc or Sauvignon Blanc is the one that tastes smooth and silky as it is really clean and dry. The Riesling is the one made from different styles such as sweet desserts, light and dry whites. Other kinds of white wine include the Muscat Blanc, Viognier, Chenin Blanc, and the Pinot Gris or Pinot Grigio.
Finding the right wine
When in search for the perfect wine, it does not necessarily need for you to find dozens of wines. Not only does it rob you off a thousand bucks, it also leaves you with nothing but an impression that you are an alcoholic. The truth of the matter is it will always be a trial and error when looking for the right wine. Nevertheless, the utter and complete solution that is rightful and practical to do is to diversify the buying ritual. In other words, when finding the right one, start with what works for you and what it is that you prefer.

Five United Methodist Churches in the Conejo Valley area have worked together during the past few months to raise more than $7,500 for Many Mansions. Reaching this fundraising goal means that the library in the Community Room at the new Hillcrest Villas apartment complex will be named the United Methodist Library.
To celebrate the success of this campaign, the five UMC churches from the North District's Conejo Valley Mission Area - Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Malibu, Moorpark and St. Matthew's in Newbury Park – will hold a Welcome Home Brunch on Saturday, April 13 at 10 a.m. at UMC of Thousand Oaks, 1000 E. Janss Rd.
The United Methodist Church's motto is "Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors" and this campaign has been called "Open Doors to Home and Hope" for the new residents who will soon move into Hillcrest Villas. The Grand Opening of Hillcrest Villas by Many Mansions will take place on April 25 and will include the dedication of the library.
At the brunch, members of these five churches will assemble welcome bags with cleaning supplies for each of the 60 new apartments (30 of which are for people who are now homeless), will present the $7,500 to Rick Schroeder, president of Many Mansions, for the Resident Services Program at Hillcrest Villas, and will hear a presentation by Schroeder, followed by a tour of the project.

Disputing a Credit Card Charge
How to come out on top
What happens when the brand-new digital camera you brought home turns out to be a bust? Or the DVD player you got for your spouse's birthday gets stuck permanently on rewind? Or, when you've been double-charged for something you're sure you only came home with one of?
If you've made these purchases on a credit card - and these days, that's a near certainty - you're in luck. Thanks to the Fair Credit Billing Act, consumers have a good deal of protection for their credit card purchases. This law allows consumers to withhold payment on poor-quality, damaged merchandise or incorrectly billed items they bought with a credit card until the matter is resolved. Read on as we show you how to dispute a credit card charge and actually come out on the winning side.
Retrace Your Steps
Your first move is always to go back and attempt to resolve the problem with the merchant. If you give them a chance to address your complaint, they very often will; especially if you approach them with politeness and courtesy. Most large retailers have customer service policies in place that err strongly on the side of being generous, at least within a certain period of time, and under "ordinary" circumstances.
Bottom line is, if you act promptly and reasonably, you're likely to get the full benefit of the doubt. If you don't have luck with the first representative you speak with, ask to talk with the manager or supervisor on duty. Be sure to keep records of each interaction, the person you spoke with as well as the date and time, so you can refer back to them if needed.
Put it in Writing
If the merchant won't budge, it's time to put your complaint in writing. Draft a short, detailed letter outlining your particular dispute, and send it to the merchant by means of certified mail. Before you send it, make a few copies, so you can save one for your records and send another copy to your credit card company, as proof of your efforts to resolve this dispute.
Next you'll draft a letter to your credit card company, to officially alert it of the disputed purchase amount. The Fair Credit Billing Act mandates that you do this in writing, within 60 days after the bill with the disputed charge was sent to you. In your letter, you'll need to include your account number, the closing date of the bill on which the disputed charge appears, a description of the disputed item and the reason you're withholding payment. You should also enclose a copy of your complaint letter to the merchant, along with any other documentation that supports your position. This letter should also be sent by means of certified mail with a return receipt requested; be sure you send it to the 'billing inquiries' address at your credit card company, and not the regular address for payments (since these are often two separate departments).
Keep on Paying
Even though you're disputing an item on your current bill, it's important to maintain your other payments. If you've charged anything else on your card during this cycle, you'll need to send that payment and all financing charges to the regular address, otherwise you'll incur interest and late-payment charges.
At this point, you're just waiting to hear the result of your challenge. Some card companies - especially the bigger firms, such as Capital One - will often give the benefit of the doubt to their consumers, and issue a temporary credit until the dispute is resolved. This isn't required by law, however, so don't assume you will get this consideration. Meanwhile, the card issuer will get in touch with the merchant to find out their side of the story. Basically, if they end up siding with you, you will enjoy a full refund. If not, you'll have to pay for the disputed item, as well as any additional finance charges that may have accrued.
There are a few catches to the Fair Credit Billing Act. Technically, the sale must be for more than $50 and must have taken place in your home state or within 100 miles of your billing address, which means phone or internet orders may be immune.
If you find yourself in the position of having to dispute a credit card charge, you may have more rights and advantages than you realize. The key is to act quickly and responsibly. Address the matter in a prompt and courteous fashion with the merchant in question, and if necessary, follow up with your credit card issuer. In most cases the whole matter can be resolved within a matter of weeks to your satisfaction.

Using Your Tax Refund
Save, invest, or fritter it away?
The IRS says the average tax refund for the 2011 filing season is a not-too-shabby lump sum of $2,985. So what should you do with this new-found pile of cash? Treat it as mad money and blow it in an impulse-driven shopping spree or a once-in-a-lifetime trek on an African safari? Or does it make more sense to use the refund to fix your money problems or invest for the future?
Not too surprisingly, given Americans' preference to "shop till they drop," 37% said they would spend all or part of their tax refund, a Capital One Bank survey found. A smaller number said they would save at least part of their refund (31%) or use it to pay down debt (19%). A much smaller percentage said they would stash the cash in a retirement account or fund a college account for their kid.
But spending all the money rather than investing or paying down debt is a personal finance no-no, says Tony Ogorek of Buffalo-based financial advisory firm Ogorek Wealth Management.
Receiving a tax refund is a golden opportunity for Americans, many of whom are struggling with high debt and low savings, to "shore up" their finances, he says.
"Everyone has financial weaknesses," Ogorek says. "People need to ask themselves, 'What are my weaknesses, and how can I use this money to strengthen my financial position?' "
Getting More Than Just $3,000
It is prudent to pay down credit card debt, plow more money into retirement and college-saving accounts, or enhance the value of your home. And with super-smart planning, Americans can get the most bang out of the bucks they receive back from Uncle Sam. Ogorek offers advice on how to get a double- or triple-whammy on this precious windfall of nearly $3,000.
Say you have a $3,000 balance on a credit card at the national average interest rate of 14.43%, according to Bankrate.com. By paying off the debt in full you get not one but three or more distinct benefits. You lock in an instant return of 14.43%. That is a better return than the current 0.62% average yield on money market accounts. And you boost your credit score. And no use carrying credit card debt, as its interest is not tax deductible.
Similarly, here's a clever way to use the money to bulk up your 401(k) and benefit in ways you might not have envisioned. When you get your IRS check, put the money in a money market account. Then increase your annual 401(k) payroll deduction by the same amount. (The money market savings will offset a smaller paycheck due to 401(k) payroll deductions.)
You get the benefit of putting your money into the 401(k) a little at a time, a process known as dollar-cost averaging, which allows you to buy more shares when prices are low and fewer when prices are high. It will also increase your chances of getting a full company match, if you are not already receiving that perk. You also benefit from the pretax withdrawals coming out of your paycheck, which will lower your tax bill next year. What's even better: If you invest in an index fund that invests in large-company stocks, which have posted average gains of 9.8% over the long term, according to Morningstar, you will more than double your money in 10 years and end up with $7,603.
Home, School Can Pay Off
Making key fixes to your home, such as making it more energy efficient with new windows, appliances or solar panels might also mean bigger savings than meets the eye. You not only increase the value of your home, you also will benefit from lower energy costs as well as a possible subsidy from the government.
If your career has been derailed by the financial crisis, using some of the cash to improve your education, upgrade skills or break into a new field will add up to a much bigger investment down the road."It is essential to have a plan," Ogorek says. "Financial security doesn't happen by accident. It happens by design."
You can also spread your money around. For example, put $1,000 in a retirement account, stash $1,000 in a college fund and set $1,000 aside for a rainy day or to spend on yourself, if you can't kill the urge to splurge, planners say.
If your savings are low, you are risk-averse and you fear another financial shock might hit, it makes better sense to squirrel your refund away in a safe place, such as a money-market account, despite its puny yield, says Robert Cohen, a financial adviser at Financial Strategies & Wealth Management.
Cohen fears that the political upheaval in the Middle East could cause energy prices to spike dramatically and push up gas prices sharply. "If you are paying $4 or $5 or $6 for a gallon of gas, maybe you will need your tax refund to pay for it," he says. An oil shock, he adds, could push oil near or above the prior peak of $147 a barrel. That would not only slow economic growth, it would also likely cause a stock sell-off. That's why he is reluctant to advise risk-averse investors to use their refund to invest in the stock market.
"You will feel bad if the Dow goes down 1,000 points," Cohen says.
Invest based on your age
If you are dead set on investing your refund, spread your risk based on your age — and invest mainly in your retirement account, advises Michael Farr, president of money manager Farr Miller & Washington.
For those under 30, invest two-thirds in a low-cost index fund that tracks large-company stocks, such as the Standard & Poor's 500. Put the other third in an index fund that tracks developed foreign markets.
"Thirty-year-olds want to be the most aggressive," Farr says.
Fortysomethings should invest their entire refund in an index fund that tracks the largest 100 stocks in the S&P 500. These big stocks, he says, have underperformed in the recent rally, are cheap and pay nice dividends.
Retirees should put half of the $2,985 in a short-term bond fund and the rest in a stock index fund filled with large, dividend-paying stocks.
"Take care of your retirement first," says Farr.

Basic Strategies for Simplifying Your Financial Life
There are many reasons to organize and simplify your financial life. Eliminating clutter, saving time and reducing stress are surely among them. And here's another motivating factor: Not keeping tabs on your finances can be costly if it results in fees or interest charges you could have avoided, investment losses, additional taxes or other pitfalls. FDIC Consumer News offers a checklist of nine basic things you can do to get your money matters in order...and keep them that way.
1. Use direct deposit. Ask to have your pay, pension or Social Security benefits automatically deposited into your bank account. Direct deposit is safer, easier and more convenient than getting a paper check in the mail and then having to deposit it into your bank account. It may even help you avoid bank fees. Direct deposit also gives you access to your money sooner than with a paper check.
Also be aware that if you receive Social Security and other federal benefit payments, the U.S. Treasury will only issue them electronically beginning in March 2013.
2. Automate recurring bills. Many merchants, such as insurance companies or utilities, will allow you to pay recurring bills with an automatic withdrawal from your checking account or through a charge to your credit card. However, be sure to record these transactions in your check register to avoid overdrawing your account. And if you charge the bills to a credit card, pay the balance in full by the due date to avoid interest charges.
Many banks also offer online bill-paying services that allow you to pay bills quickly and easily. These programs generally allow you to sign up on your bank's Web site to receive bills electronically from companies you do business with. Then you can review the bill and pay it using that same Web site.
"That is an entirely paperless transaction, and it can reduce the chance of incurring a late-payment fee," said Luke W. Reynolds, Chief of the FDIC's Community Outreach Section.
3. Explore online banking. This service lets you review deposits and withdrawals, keep track of your balance, and move funds between, say, your checking and savings accounts — at your convenience.
For example, with online banking you can quickly review your account and make sure you didn't forget to record any debit or ATM card transactions in your check register. You can get an update on whether funds from recent deposits are available for withdrawal. You might even be able to receive your bank statements online instead of in the mail.
4. Put some savings on autopilot. Arrange with your bank or employer to automatically transfer a certain amount into savings accounts or investments on a regular schedule. "Automatic savings programs can make it easy to build an emergency fund or save for the future," said Joyce Thomas, an FDIC financial educator in the Community Outreach Section.
"Also, if you invest in stocks, mutual funds or other non-federally insured assets, it has been documented that making investments on a regular basis can result in a higher return over time than trying to time the market."
5. Consider consolidating accounts. Think about how many different financial institutions you use and how many accounts (savings, checking and investments) and credit cards you have. You may be able to simplify your finances, reduce mail and paperwork, avoid certain fees and even get better deals by consolidating multiple accounts. Consolidating accounts also can make it easier to monitor your entire portfolio and ensure that your money is properly diversified.
If you plan to consolidate your deposits at one institution, though, make sure the combined funds don't exceed the FDIC's deposit insurance limitations. Remember that you can have more than $250,000 in one bank and still be fully insured provided that the money is in different ownership categories - single accounts, joint accounts, retirement accounts and so on.
Also, consider canceling the credit cards you never use, preferably well before you apply for another loan — in case dropping a long-time card temporarily lowers your credit score. "Review your credit reports to make sure you know which accounts are listed as open and active," advised Reynolds.
6. Look into automated money-management tools. Software that you download to your computer or Web services managed by your bank or another third-party can give you an updated snapshot of all your account information from multiple institutions, in one place. The programs also can help you organize your finances, understand how you spend your money, and spot a potential fraud or theft (by providing a regular summary of account balances).
But it's also important to take commonsense precautions. "You need to do your research and choose a known and trusted organization, as most of these services collect account numbers and passwords along with other confidential and personally identifiable information," explained Rob Drozdowski, a Senior Technology Specialist at the FDIC.
7. Update your will and other legal documents, and make sure your family knows where to find them in an emergency. These additional documents can range from bank statements and pension records to directives that govern what happens to your bank accounts, property and other assets if you become incapacitated.
In addition to reviewing your will (and letting loved ones know where to locate the original), check the beneficiaries listed on life insurance policies and retirement accounts and consider having or updating documents (such as a "durable power of attorney") that would enable someone to handle your finances or other personal matters if you lose the ability to do so.
8. Get your other papers under control. Even if you rely on technology, it's difficult to go completely paperless. Start with a central filing system at home for your bank, tax, insurance and other financial records. Also designate one place for gathering your bills.
9. Don't let a disaster catch you off guard. If an emergency were to occur and you had only few moments to evacuate your home, perhaps for several days or even weeks, would you have access to cash, banking services and the personal identification you need to conduct your day-to-day financial life?
One strategy is to store copies of important documents — such as health insurance cards, your driver's license, bank account numbers and credit card information — on a secure Web site that you can access from anywhere. The bottom line, according to Reynolds: "By spending a few minutes organizing and simplifying your financial life, you can save many hours and perhaps significant amounts of money."

Spring Maintenance Tips
A handy checklist for your home tune up
Like many of us, homes need a tune-up after the long winter months. Everything from the roof to the sump pump needs a once-over after the season has taken its toll. To help you cover all the bases, we've come up with a handy spring-maintenance checklist. Consult it every year and your home will thank you.
Inspect Brickwork and Stucco
- Spalling is a chipping or popping away of a brick's face, leaving the brick's interior susceptible to moisture and crumbling. Look for this and any deteriorated mortar that typically occurs on older homes.
- Is your brick plagued with efflorescence, those unsightly white deposits caused by soluble salts left behind during water evaporation? The Brick Industry Association recommends dry brushing in warm, dry weather to remove it.
- If you discover water penetration in brick, consider sealing the brick with an appropriate sealant.
Replace Rotted Siding or Trim, and Repaint as Necessary
Repainting siding or trim is often more than a one-weekend project. For color consistency, you just can't just touch it up—you need to paint a whole section.
Clean Gutters and Downspouts
- Make sure gutters and downspouts direct water away from the house.
- If you live in a place where there's a lot of freezing and thawing, gutters will expand and contract, so make sure they're flush to the roof, with no sags or dips.
- Get a professional cleaning if you live in a two-story house. Do-it-yourselfers will be safer cleaning a ranch home.
- Consider installing gutter guards.
Inspect Your Roof
Shingles that curl (turn up) and claw (turn down) can make your roof inefficient and susceptible to leaks. Call a minimum of three roofers before committing to one for repairs. You'll educate yourself in the process and end up with a better deal.
Get a Chimney Checkup
Have a professional chimney sweep clean and inspect your active or decorative chimney. Professionals should also check the chimney flue and cap for cracks or leaking.
Don't Overlook Your Attic
- Check your attic for proper ventilation and birds' nests.
- Look for obstructions over vents, damaged soffit panels, roof flashing leaks and wet spots on insulation. Keeping a good airflow will save you when it comes to cooling costs.
- When you're rooting around, wear long sleeves and gloves to protect yourself from insulation.
Check Your Heat/Air Unit; Change Batteries in Detectors
- Change filters and clean the air purifier as needed.
- Have your ducts professionally cleaned. It'll make your indoor air quality healthier and your furnace more efficient.
- Change batteries on smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
Prune Landscaping and Create Good Drainage
Shrubs and landscaping help against soil erosion and should be planted to form a negative grade, which means water will flow away from the house.
Give Concrete a Little TLC
- Seal and inspect asphalt or concrete driveways. Most of us put off sealing driveways until the fall, but the spring is an ideal time to do it. The sealer you use, the driveway material and climate will affect how often you need to seal your driveway.
- Power-wash concrete patios, and inspect decks for rotting wood and secure railings. Seal both if necessary.
- Have a professional service your pool.
Weatherproof Windows and Doors
- Remove interior storm windows (old homes only) and replace screens on clean windows and doors. If you don't have air conditioning, you want to make sure you have good airflow throughout the home. You can also save on utility bills by adding blinds to windows that face south and west. Open windows when the sun sets and closing them at sunrise.
- Examine putty and caulk lines around exterior windows and doors, and ensure that weather stripping creates a good seal.
Don't Forget the Sump Pump
Make sure the sump pump is operating correctly, and install a battery backup pump. The backup, another pump that floats above the original pump, will kick on when the electricity goes out. If your sump pump fails, an alarm goes off, letting you know the backup is working. A few hundred dollars will save you thousands in water damage.

LPL: Mid-Life Investing - Making the Most of Your Asset-Building Years
As you move through your peak earning years, you'll probably see your net worth steadily rise. At the same time, you'll still have some work to do before you realize your financial goals. That's why it's important to have a solid plan in place. Here are some steps to help keep your portfolio on track.
Organize your portfolio. Asset allocation is a straightforward and effective strategy whereby you divide your portfolio among the major asset classes of equities, fixed-income securities, and cash equivalents. The division should be based on your goals, your tolerance for risk and your time horizons. Generally speaking, the larger the equity portion of your portfolio, the greater the potential for growth and the greater amount of risk. On the other hand, the more fixed-income securities you include, the greater the potential for income and preservation of principle. There are also risks associated with fixed income investments, however, generally speaking, they incur less risk than equities. You may need to periodically rebalance your portfolio — to remain consistent with your original allocation — or modify it as you come closer to realizing your goals.
Don't overlook tax planning. Chances are your income tax bracket is higher now than it was during your early years and than it will be when you retire. Consider maximizing pretax contributions to your employer-sponsored retirement plan or making deductible contributions to an IRA (if you're eligible) to help reduce current income while providing tax-deferred savings opportunities. Also, keep in mind that short-term capital gains are taxed as income, while long-term capital gains and dividends are taxed at lower rates. Finally, explore the potential benefit of including tax-exempt bonds in your portfolio.*
Protect what you've accomplished. As your wealth continues to increase, it's important to preserve what you've accumulated and safeguard your future. That's why estate planning and life insurance are two of the cornerstones of a sound financial plan. A qualified legal professional can help you implement an estate plan that is best for your situation or review an existing plan to ensure it is still consistent with your goals. Also, be sure you have enough life insurance in place to help cover any liabilities — such as your mortgage — and protect your family's financial future.
Financially speaking, mid-life shouldn't be a time of crisis. Instead, it's a time to take advantage of some of your most productive years. In the long run, you may be in a better position to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
*Some tax-exempt investments may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax as well as federal or state capital gains taxes.

Cameron accused on trainee teachers
8:22am Tuesday 24th December 2013 in National News © Press Association 2014
A shortfall of trainee teachers threatens classroom standards and is a failure of the Government to meet its "basic responsibility", Labour said.
Shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt said official figures showed 6,430 of 38,900 available places for routes into teaching were unfilled.
That meant the Department for Education's minimum target had been missed - by 2,000 - for the second year in a row, he said.
Mr Hunt said: "David Cameron is threatening standards by failing to provide enough trainee teachers.
"Alongside allowing unqualified teachers into our classrooms and his crisis in primary school places, children are facing rising class sizes and now fewer teachers.
"Providing enough good teachers and enough good school places is a basic responsibility for any government. Yet this Tory-led Government is failing on both counts."
A Department for Education spokeswoman said: "It is nonsense to suggest there is going to be a shortage of teachers - 99% of our target for postgraduate teacher trainees has already been met.
"We always allocate more places than we need, so it is totally misleading to suggest not filling every place will lead to a shortage.
"School Direct is a response to what schools have said they want - a greater role in selecting and recruiting trainees with the potential to be outstanding teachers. The programme is only in its second full year of operating and is already proving very popular."
A spokesman for Education Secretary Michael Gove described Mr Hunt's comments as " disappointing".
"Labour now seem to be against giving schools the power to train teachers in the classroom. Schools deserve to know whether Labour would strip them of the right to select and recruit teacher trainees," the spokesman said.

Four fires, three of which were considered brush fires, broke out in Mahwah over the Easter weekend, Assistant Chief Brad Stio said Sunday night. None resulted in injury or serious damage, he said.
Saturday afternoon, a brush fire broke out on the slope of the , not far from the facility's ski lodge, Stio said. "It was about a 100-foot-wide brush fire, maybe a little more," he said. Mahwah Companies 4 and 5, and the NJ Forest Fire Service responded to the blaze and "put it out pretty quickly," Stio said. Though it didn't result in serious damage, Stio said that because of the location of the fire and weather conditions, "it could have been really bad."
Sunday afternoon after 4 p.m., a "very small brush fire," broke out at the side of the road on Wyckoff Ave., he said. That was put out "very quickly," and caused no damage, Stio said.
A third brush fire sparked Sunday evening around 7 p.m., on a pile of new mulch in the parking lot of the on Corporate Drive, Stio said. "The fire was contained to the mulch, it did not affect the hotel or any other surrounding buildings," he said.
A fourth weekend fire in the township, on the front porch of a home on Clark Ave. Saturday afternoon, is the only one that may not be classified as a brush fire, Stio said. "No one was home, and a neighbor called in the fire on the porch," Stio said. "The home was stone, so the fire did not spread to the house." Stio said the cause of that fire is still under investigation. Mahwah Fire Companies 1-4, and Mahwah Ambulance squads responded to the blaze.
According to Stio, the are likely responsible for the high number of brush fires in Mahwah this weekend. "It's extremely dry out, so these [fires] can be caused by a combination of sunlight and wind conditions, and something as simple as a piece of glass or pile of mulch that can easily catch fire," Stio said. "Unfortunately, we are experiencing perfect fire conditions."

Jug is a task-based parallelism framework. Jug allows you to write code that is broken up into tasks and run different tasks on different processors. It uses the filesystem to communicate between processes and works correctly over NFS, so you can coordinate processes on different machines. Jug is a pure Python implementation and should work on any platform that can run Python.
libjmmcg is a basic, low-level library with pretensions to implementing features above and beyond (but not necessarily better than!) those implemented within the Standard C++ Library and the Boost Library. It features a library for multi-core or multi-chip SMP parallelism, a suite of hashing algorithms, functions for raising numbers to integer powers, a generic factory wrapper and a generic, multi-threaded, read-only cache (which uses PPD), arguably the world's worst sorting technique, trace output, exceptions that have the file, line, revision, function, and argument details, string utilities, logging, simple command line processing, and much more.
Urbi is a robotics software platform. It includes a C++/Java middleware API called UObject to interface components such as motors, cameras, and algorithms, and an innovative scripting language, urbiscript, with built-in support for parallel and event-based programming, used to write high-level behaviors and orchestrate the interactions between components. UObject components are built as shared libraries exposed as native objects within urbiscript, and either hot-plugged in a running Urbi engine, or started as a remote autonomous process communicating with the engine via the network. At any time, new urbiscript code can be sent to a running Urbi engine via a simple telnet, to introspect the state of components, modify existing code, or add new behaviors. Urbi is cross-platform and supports several robots (Gostai Jazz, Lego Mindstorms, Aldebaran Nao, Segway RMP, Spykee, Bioloid, etc.) and a simulator (Webots).
YML is a research project that aims to provide tools for using global computing middleware such as GRID, peer to peer, and metacomputing environments. The YML software architecture enables the definition of parallel applications, independently of the underlying middleware used. Parallel applications are defined using a workflow language called YvetteML.
Charm++ is a portable adaptive runtime system for parallel applications. Application developers create an object-based decomposition of the problem of interest, and the runtime system manages issues of communication, mapping, load balancing, fault tolerance, and more. Sequential code implementing the methods of these parallel objects is written in C++. Calls to libraries in C++, C, and Fortran are common and straightforward. Charm++ is portable across individual workstations, clusters, accelerators (Cell SPEs and GPUs), and supercomputers such as those sold by IBM (Blue Gene, POWER) and Cray (XT3/4/5/6). Applications based on Charm++ are used on at least 5 of the 20 most powerful computers in the world.
The DUP System is a language for productive, parallel, and distributed stream processing on POSIX systems. Programming with DUP is similar to writing shell scripts with pipes except that filters can have multiple inputs and outputs. Furthermore, the computation can be spread across multiple computers. A distinguishing characteristic of DUP compared to other streaming languages is that filters can be written in almost any programming language. The DUP System distribution includes the runtime system and a collection of over a dozen multi-stream filters.
libpersist is a small library of C++ base classes and templates providing the capability to store and load objects in their entirety across executions. It also provides for object relocation between threads in a NUMA (non-uniform memory access) parallel processing environment. Objects are stored to disk as POD. They are reconstructed when reloaded into memory. Relocation is a special case of persistence, requiring reconstruction after the POD has been moved in memory. After all objects have been relocated, all references to the objects are swizzled (their IDs are resolved to their addresses), so that they can be dereferenced efficiently.
An SPM data analysis program.
