LISBON - The owners of the Summitville Tiles plant in Summitville are shelving plans to clean up the property for redevelopment, at least for now, because of costs and other factors.
Summitville CEO David Johnson said they are pulling the plug on the joint project with the Columbiana County Port Authority because of the projected clean up costs and changes in the state program that would have helped pay for it.
The project dates back to January 2011, when the port authority agreed to apply on Summitville's behalf for funding through the Clean Ohio Assistance Program, which provides grants to clean up abandoned industrial sites so the property can be redeveloped to create jobs. The plant has been idle since 2004.
The state awarded the port authority an initial grant of $202,000 to determine how much it would cost to demolish and remove three large tunnel kilns and three dryer kilns located at the 9-acre site. The kiln system involves a series of asbestos-lined piping, hence the possible contamination.
Once the study was complete, the port authority would be eligible to seek up to $750,000 through the Clean Ohio program to remove the asbestos and clean up the property.
Johnson, in a news release issued with his brother and fellow Summitville CEO Bruce Johnson, said the study concluded it would cost $1.2 million to $1.5 million to clean up the site.
"The company appreciates the cooperation and support of the county Port Authority and the state of Ohio through its Clean Ohio office. However, it is clear the projected costs of remediation of the Summitville tunnel kilns and dryers would be more than 10 times the costs which the company had projected based upon past experience," they wrote.
Meanwhile, the state changed how it administers the program, with Jobs Ohio taking over the Clean Ohio grant program. Under new program guidelines, jobs must be created immediately in exchange for any grant money being awarded to clean up an industrial site. Before, it was enough to clean up the property so it could be marketed for future redevelopment based on the site's potential.
"When we started the project it was a Clean Ohio project, and we proceeded with the understanding there would be money available" for the clean-up phase, said David Johnson, when contacted by phone.
While plans to redevelop the Summitville property are put on hold for now, the Johnsons said they will focus instead on investing in their Minerva plant, where 150 people work, when the economy improves.
Port Authority CEO Tracy Drake was disappointed to learn of Summitville's decision but understood why. He noted they were able to use Clean Ohio grant money to clean up the former NRM property outside Columbiana, and now the site has several businesses that employ more than 100 workers. They were hoping to do the same with the Summitville property.
"I thought Clean Ohio was one of the best program the state had to offer, and I'm not sure the changes have made it as effective," he said.

A Niagara Falls man was arrested early Sunday for refusing to pay a $35 bar tab at Westby's Pub and Eatery on Ward Road in Wheatfield, sheriff's deputies said.
According to reports, Edward R. Eckerson, 49, told deputies he had no money to pay for the 10 bottles of beer he ordered. The 76th Street resident was charged with theft of services just after 1 a.m.
Bar personnel told deputies this was the second such incident involving Eckerson at the bar.

Look at the 1996 Wings. The 2009 Sharks. The 2009 Wings for f***s sake. Anything goes in the playoffs and anyone has a chance to beat anyone. I don't care how good the Penguins are right now. They will never be the lock to win the cup until they win the deciding game in the Cup Finals.

Plans for a new Maverick Southern Kitchens restaurant on Coleman Boulevard have been canceled, the company announced today.
Dick Elliott, founder and President of Maverick Southern Kitchens, said he and the new owner of The Boulevard, a mixed-use community, mutually agreed to terminate the lease contract that began last June with The Beach Company.
Construction of the restaurant was set to begin Sept. 1, 2013 when planners discovered that major building changes were needed to accommodate it. The design, engineering and permitting of the changes were complete in mid-January, just as the property was sold to an institutional investor represented locally by Greystar Real Estate Partners, LLC. The new owner estimated it would take an additional four to five months to complete construction and other preparations for operation of the restaurant. After further discussion, the new owner and Maverick Southern Kitchens agreed to terminate the lease.
When we learned the process was delayed an additional four to five months, we decided the restaurant could not wait that much longer, said Elliott. We were excited to be part of the revitalization of Coleman Boulevard, so were disappointed that wont happen.
At the same time, Elliott continued, we continue to enjoy operating Mount Pleasants most comfortable and distinctive dining at the Old Village Post House. Its just a few blocks away from Coleman Boulevard, in the heart of the Old Village.

From CBC:
Saturday night will remain Hockey Night in Canada on CBC.
The NHL confirmed Tuesday that the CBC has secured English-language rights to games in a sub-licensing agreement with Rogers Communications.
The 12-year, $5.232 billion deal through 2025-26 between the NHL and Rogers is the largest media rights agreement in league history and subject to approval by the league's board of governors at a meeting in in Pebble Beach, Calif., on Dec. 9-10.
I can't think of a reason why this won't be approved. It's a shame NBC doesn't follow the lead of the CBC and make the same kind of commitment to broadcast more games on their free main television network.

Beautiful Creatures. Jeremy Irons, Emma Thompson, Viola Davis, Alden Ehrenreich and Alice Englert in Richard LaGravenese's film of Kami Garcia's young adult novel about bookish teens and adults with magic powers in a backward Southern town. "No doubt the most specific audience for this movie – post-pubescent girls with all the melodramas, resentments and trepidations that go with heading into your midteens – will have a good time following the overstuffed narrative and supernatural razzle-dazzle. The rest of us might think it's too much of a muchness. And more than a little fatiguing for what it is." 124 minutes. (Rated PG-13 for violence, scary images and some sexual material.) ∆∆ø (Jeff Simon)
Escape From Planet Earth. With the voices of Brendan Fraser, Rob Corddry, Sarah Jessica Parker and Jessica Alba. Animated feature about an astronaut who is caught in a trap when he responds to an SOS from a notoriously dangerous alien planet. 90 minutes. (Rated PG for action and some mild rude humor.)
A Good Day to Die Hard. Bruce Willis, Jai Courtney, Sebastian Koch, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Yuliya Snigir in John Moore's fifth installment of the blockbuster action series about John McClane, wiseacre cop. In this one he goes to Moscow to rescue his n'er-do-well son from jail. 97 minutes. (Rated R for violence and language.) ∆∆∆ (Jeff Simon) See review on Page 4
Safe Haven. Starring Julianne Hough, Josh Duhamel, David Lyons and Cobie Smulders. Directed by Lasse Hallstrom. Based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. A young woman with a dark secret arrives in a small town and bonds with a widower. 115 minutes. (Rated PG-13 for thematic material involving threatening behavior, and for violence and sexuality.)

We are sorry. We are experiencing higher than normal call level. Please call back a little later. Click. This was my eighth call in four hours -- none successful -- to one of the 15 health plans in New York for low income seniors or disabled adults.
Previously these New Yorkers had their drug prescriptions covered by Medicaid without charge. Now, thanks to the new Medicare prescription drug plan pushed through Congress by the Bush administration and put into effect at the beginning of this month, they have been automatically enrolled in one of 15 private health plans. They are now required to pay for the medications, sometimes full price.
In the short time it has been in place, the new Medicare Part D prescription drug plan has proven disastrous in state after state throughout the country. "Mix-ups in the first weeks of the Medicare drug benefit have vexed many beneficiaries and pharmacists," the New York Times recently reported. "At least 24 states have taken emergency action to pay for prescription drugs if people cannot obtain them by using the new Medicare drug benefit." One of those states is New York, as announced on January 13th by Governor George Pataki: "Hopefully," the governor said, "the federal government will resolve the difficulties so that all of our seniors and all of our disabled persons will continue to get the drug coverage they need." A follow-up editorial in the Times was entitled The Medicare Drug Mess.
The problems are legion -- inadequate coverage, computer glitches, inadequate training of pharmacists, long delays -- and they fall most heavily on the poor and the mentally ill.
Going Without Her Medication
One 57-year old woman in upper Manhattan, diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic and a resident of The Bridge, a supervised community residence, came away empty-handed this month from the pharmacy that usually refills her eight different medications.
One medication, Provacol, for high blood pressure, was not covered at all, and she was told she would have to pay full price. And her psychiatric medication, Seroquel, was covered, but not in the prescribed amount.
Without enough money even for the copays, she left the drug store without any of her medications.
Her social worker at The Bridge, Karen Davidson Ruddy, spoke with the druggist; he agreed to provide a 15-day supply of Seroquel. The Bridge loaned the woman money to cover all the copays. As for the Provacol, Ruddy learned it could be covered by switching the woman to a different tier of the plan, but only if prior authorization was secured over the phone. For two and a half days, Ruddy and her staff tried unsuccessfully to get through by phone for this authorization.
"The machine kept saying 'We know your time is important so we will get to you soon.' After two days of hearing that," said Ruddy, "you start to believe that your time is not important to them."
The woman had now gone five days without her high blood pressure medication. Giving up on trying to reach the private health plan, Ruddy decided to check with the prescribing doctor at a walk-in clinic on West 97th Street. The doctor prescribed a drug that the plan would cover.
"Blindness or Stupidity"?
They are called dual eligibles--low income seniors or disabled adults, who qualify for both Medicaid and Medicare benefits. There are about 600,000 such dual eligibles in New York State. Dr. Harriet O'Hagan, medical director at the Bridge, thinks that 20 percent of her dual eligible patients have been running into difficulties.
"We checked the Web sites ahead of time and picked plans to cover medications," she explained. "but when they went to the pharmacy, there were still problems." And some of the problems have O'Hagan dumbfounded.
"Zyprexa, the most widely sold antipsychotic medication in America, is not covered," said O'Hagan. "Same thing with Abilify. And the antidepressant Zoloft--a widely used and highly effective antidepressant. I have no idea why these drugs are not covered. Another one is the Prolixin injection, one of the cheapest medications for psychosis. It is used for people who are noncompliant and it just costs pennies. Why is this not covered? It is blindness or stupidity."
In order to get these drugs for her patients, Dr. O'Hagan now has to produce evidence that she has already tried other medications, and she must prove that the client has been on this particular drug a long time.
"I have been calling the Medicare number, but I cannot get through to a human being," said O'Hagan. "I was on the phone for hours. Now I am calling the plans. I got through to one health plan for one person, but I have about twenty others."
She also found that the local pharmacist was not honoring the transition policy. "He does not believe he will be reimbursed."
Feeling the political heat, President George W. Bush has directed Medicare insurers to take immediate steps to cover 30-day emergency supplies of drugs for dual eligible citizens and the Bush administration insisted that low-income co-pays not exceed $5. Republicans and Democrats seem united in this decision to publicly bolster the transition policy. Meanwhile, the administrator of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Mark McClellan, has acknowledged the chaos, and said that his agency was working "around the clock" to fix the problems.
In the interim, Dr. O'Hagan instituted her own emergency program: She has been giving her patients medication samples sent by drug companies. "We're giving those out, but they are going to run out soon." The effect of not taking medication for a few days or weeks on people with mental illness can vary, according to O'Hagan. "Some people decompensate (deteriorate physically or psychologically) within days," she said. "For others it is months. I may be forced to make substitutes for some of the medications and that may not be appropriate. There may be side effects. It feels kind of third world."
Computer Glitches And Unnecessary Hospitalizations
The Coalition of Mental Health Agencies, an umbrella organization that advocates and assists nonprofit agencies caring for the mentally ill in New York City, reported many of the same problems coming into their Medicare Part D telephone Helpline.
Bill Zeiser of the coalition had a caseworker tell him about a 57-year old mentally ill client from the Bronx with HIV who was about to run out of his AIDS medication. Due to a computer glitch, he was being asked for high co-pays for both his psychotropic and HIV medications. One particular medication was going to cost him $180--and he is on several different prescriptions. The last Zeiser heard, the caseworker was exploring the possibility of having his client admitted to the hospital to get the medications.
Hospitalization was "one of worst case scenarios that we had envisioned," said Zeiser, "but now we see it come to fruition. The grim reality is that people have to do what they have to do to get medication.
"The irony," he continued, "is that it is so much more costly to have these people checking into hospitals to get their medications than if the Medicaid benefits had carried over in the first place."
Pharmacists Want To Help
At a small pharmacy, Price Wise on West 81st and Broadway, the pharmacist on duty, Anthony Mladinov, reluctantly broke away from his work to talk for a few minutes about the drug plan. "This is the first chance I've had all day to catch up." Mladinov estimates he is staying an extra two hours every day to manage all the work.
"Some people come in without an insurance card," he reported, "but there are things we can do to help." He heard that if you go into one of the [chain drug stores] without a card, they tell you to come back when you have it.
The most common problem are customers finding their prescriptions are not on their plan. "Of course, if they did their homework beforehand," the pharmacist said, "and checked online three months ago, and called the plan back then, back when you could reach them on the phone, then they would know which plan to be on. Now you cannot get through to an HMO." For the most part, though, he was optimistic. "It will all be straightened out in a week or two."
"I certainly think things will improve," said Karyn Krampitz, director of Special Projects at the Coalition for Voluntary Mental Health Agencies. "The fact is that the pharmacists for the most part want to help, but they were not properly trained in time and many of them are not going to dispense medications unless they have some assurance that they can bill someone for it."
Social worker Ruddy recommends to her clients that they go to small independent pharmacies rather than the large chains. "They know us and they work with us," she explained. "If you have a good relationship with your pharmacist, the hope is that you can muddle through this together."
Long Term Issues
Even if many of these short term issues are resolved in the coming weeks, Bill Zeiser sees long term systemic problems that need to be addressed, such as the dual eligible copays and the complexity of the system. "What we want is for the Feds to ensure an uninterrupted supply of necessary medications for dual eligibles," said Zeiser. "After the transition period, a dual eligible would be at square one, still unable to get the medication they need from their plan, which doesn't cover it. In many cases, a thirty day supply will simply not be enough to hold someone over while they navigate the process."
Many fear that copayments may discourage mentally ill clients from taking their medications. "My clients say, 'OK, I'll take the medications,'" said Ruddy, "but when we tell them they have to pay for them, they don't want to do that."
"Some of the mentally ill would just as soon not take their medications" stressed Karyn Krampitz "So any reason that disrupts it, they just do not take it, and that is a major problem."

Anyone who has grown up in Amarillo has heard stories that Boys Ranch is a place for bad kids and that it is something like juvenile detention center. As a child, I heard the parents of my guy friends threaten to send them there if they didn't act accordingly. It was meant as an intimidation tactic, which may have worked. But, Boys Ranch is nothing like the reputation it has been given over the decades.

When a loved one passes away, it is a time for grieving families to make difficult decisions in arranging a funeral. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, funeral arrangements were generally done by the family of the deceased, including using their own home as a funeral parlor.

Every funeral that I have attended is filled with sadness and deep emotion. I understand that families grieve for the loss of a loved one in different ways and in the two years I have done obituaries, I have had some strange requests and heard even stranger things. However, nothing could have prepared me for what I saw on television.
I was doing some channel surfing and came across a show called "Best Funeral Ever" airing on TLC. Being the obit clerk, I was intrigued and decided to check it out.

Aimee Ferguson, wife and mother of three, noticed bite marks on her 2 year-old daughter around the first part of July. "At first I thought it was fleas. I bombed the house but my kids kept getting bites. I figured out that it was bedbugs and bombed again." After the second bombing, the bedbugs came out of their hiding places in the carpet and furniture and began crawling to the surface.

Charges continue to mount for a Goose Creek man accused of attempted murder and kidnapping.
Gary Curtis Fraley, 47, in custody for allegedly holding a man hostage and firing a shot at a Goose Creek bowling alley, is also facing a charge of criminal sexual conduct with a minor, according to a Goose Creek police report.
He faces four other charges, along with the sexual conduct charge, in a second court hearing Thursday. The new charges are kidnapping, unlawful neglect of a child by a legal custodian and two counts of possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
Fraley is alleged to have taken the minor to the Econo-Lodge in Goose Creek at approximately 3 p.m. Tuesday and forced the child into sexual acts. That was about two hours before police said he went to Royal Lanes on Central Avenue and confronted the bowling centers owner at gunpoint.
Goose Creek police spokesman John Grainger said Tuesday that Fraley held the owner at gunpoint for several minutes before firing a shot inside the center.
Witnesses said they could hear an argument in the owners office prior to a gunshot. The suspect had an unspecified dispute with the owner, Grainger said Tuesday.
The owner was able to leave the office with the suspect still inside, and that is when a shot was fired. At that point, police said Fraley barricaded himself in the office.
Police responded shortly after that, evacuated the bowling alley, and established a perimeter around the outside of the building.
Another police report states that Fraley is a suspect in a hit-and-run at the Econo-Lodge on Tuesday afternoon.
Fraley was denied bond at his initial court hearing Wednesday and remains in custody.

The 6 Most American Things That Aren't Made in America
Metal Wolf Chaos
Most of our beloved classic video games come from Japan, but America has generated its own fair share of kickass titles. For example, here's a shot from the American-developed Target: Terror.
Yeah, it's a game about a coed group of terrorists attacking an airport/exploding barrel storage with chainsaws and flamethrowers because that's how we goddamn do it in America. Oh, and we can also end our words in consonants. Jealous much, Japan?
Japan isn't jealous at all. In 2004, they released Metal Wolf Chaos, the most American video game of all time. The plot was ripped from today's headlines, specifically this one: President of U.S. Fucks Country in Face From Inside Awesome Robot Suit. I can never tell when Japan is making fun of us, but Metal Wolf Chaos begins when the Vice President takes control of the military by loudly hating freedom and the only one left to stop him is President Mike Wilson. As soon as he hears about the trouble, President Wilson gets into his Presidential Power Armor and front-flip rocket jumps out of the White House. To make sure you understand how little of a shit this game gives, here's what robot jump rockets do to a White House:
I've never seen anyone understand what it's like to be American more than the makers of Metal Wolf Chaos, and I once watched a man die during a pie eating contest from alcohol poisoning. Also, like most Americans, the game is way more awesome than it is correct. It used Clinton-era graphics in a game about George W. Bush driving a robot, and everyone knows that Bush wasn't even allowed near pinking shears without a 2/3 majority approval from Congress. Even if there was a Presidential Robosuit, and fuck you if there isn't, they would have kept Bush away from it by labeling it "book." Plus, the only person patient enough to teach George W. Bush how to pilot a mech was killed by the Romans 2,000 years ago. I guess my point is that it's troubling how careless Japan is about mixing robots and the retarded. There's only one way that combination of things can end: Americanly.
I'm not always sure what makes something American, but I know it when I see it, and nothing says America like choosing to have a throbbing erection even after your body refuses to give you one. I know a lot of you foreign people are thinking, Why would Americans need boner pills when they're surrounded by all those breast implants? Well, I'll let you in on a secret: 60 percent of us think the best form of exercise is signing petitions to get the obesity classification raised. Sure, everyone feels the same when you turn out the lights and put a punctured bathroom stall between them and you, but 80 pounds of digested beef still fucks up a body's normal sexual chemistry. And that's why we invented Viagra, right?
Viagra was actually invented in England. Which is weird because hard-ons and money used to be our thing. Plus, you don't normally expect something as elegant as take-a-pill-get-a-boner from U.K. scientists. If they sat down to cure erectile dysfunction, you'd expect something more along the lines of a chewing gum that inflates into a vagina when hit with a watch laser. This whole boner pill thing was probably a lab accident made by British engineers trying to get a deployable bridge and a fish scaler to grow out of your dick.
Viagra is now so common in America that walking by a drugstore gives you a contact erection. Those British biochemists have helped more unattractive women get laid than good personalities and moonshine combined. Before this pill came along, we had to pick between our two favorite Liberties: The Right to Bear Pizza and The Right to Bear Boners. Now, our nation's biggest assholes write entire books about doing both at the same time. I'll never forgive you for that, England.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Arnold Schwarzenegger, described here, is very foreign. He came here from Austria decades ago to pursue a career as a body builder, and he's shown us that while exercise is great for the body, it's terrible for the accent. Arnold has been in this country for 11 years longer than Chris Farley was alive, and the man still sounds like an Austrian patient screaming for his dentist to stop. He was in charge of an entire state, but if you ask him which one, the sounds that come out of his mouth don't correspond to any map. He says "California" like a cab driver spelling a fart sound.
Despite his heritage, Arnold is so American that he bleeds dipping sauce. You know how Americans like to say stupid shit right before and after we kill someone? Arnold practically invented that. Before Arnold, we thought gun control was a violation of our Second Amendment rights. Now we know that gun control is just what you call it when a guy can keep firing an M60 while throwing stars hit him. We elected him governor based only on the qualification that the other candidates hadn't made Commando, Predator, Terminator and Running Man. He didn't invent the American tradition of putting the least qualified person in charge, but he totally perfected it.
Studies have shown that the average American man thinks about sex 78 percent of every second, and Arnold Schwarzenegger movies are based on the other 37 percent. And speaking of numbers, Arnold impregnated his family's housekeeper and she was a three. Why? Fuck your why -- Americans do stuff because we can, not because of math.
Sorry, Sub-Zeroes, but if I ever met someone named Sub-Zero, I'd count on the judge being lenient based on how sweet it would be to kill you and then say this. Same goes for anyone named Spencer Pratt.
Yes! Arnold is such a man that every pair of his underwear has to be individually cleaned with a rape kit before it can be thrown away.
Speaking of divorce, Arnold's real wife probably knew he impregnated the housekeeper when she saw the ejaculation exit wounds on her back.
The fact that his brain didn't stop his mouth from saying that is why I love this great American so much.
Ugh. You know, on second thought: Go back to Germany, asshole!

Homeless Family Becomes A Beacon of Hope for New Program
Homeless Family Becomes A Beacon of Hope for New Program
PACIFIC GROVE, Calif.-- An initiative called the One Starfish program aims to designate parking lots for the homeless. The One Starfish program believes that you may not be able to save every "starfish" or person that's stranded, but you should help the ones you can.
One family had no choice but to live out of their vehicle. They have been homeless for quite sometime due to lack of work. The Sotelo family had to constantly move their vehicle because, sleeping in a car or RV on the side of the street whether it was in a public or private place is illegal, but it became harder to do after the mother was diagnosed with cancer.
"It was pretty hard. I had to take of everything for her. I had take to care of her," said Severino of his forty-six year old wife.
"They let us stay here because my mom had cancer. She was dying," said Monique a student at Monterey Peninsula College.
The family's RV has been parked in the First United Methodist Church in Pacific Grove where Severino and his 22-year-old daughter, Monique, took care of his wife until she died.
"Every time we would park in neighborhoods, we got cited or had to move," said Severino when talking about the frustration of not having a permanent residence.
"We are homeless. We used to park on a side street hidden from people, then in the daytime we would park at the beach because it was legal," said Monique.
In cities on the peninsula, it is illegal to sleep in your car on public or private property. Severino and Monique saidPamela Cummings, the pastor at the First United Methodist Church, talked to the city and let them live in their vehicle.
"It helped because we didn't have to get approached by the police. We could be at a certain place where I could help my wife without the cops making us leave," said Severino
Stories like this one is the reason Monterey and Pacific Grove are trying to implement a regional program on the peninsula to help the homeless.
"People who are losing their ability to pay rent or keep their mortgage payments, these are the people who are resorting to living in their vehicles," said Dr. Tia Sukin, one of the main proponents of the One Starfish program.
She said the program is trying to get $36,000 to start and 25 parking lots from businesses or churches to be used for the homeless to park in overnight. However, she knows there might be strong opposition from residents, the same people who would make Monique and Severino move off their streets.
"We are not trying to attract more homeless people to the Monterey Peninsula. The program would have a residency requirement," said Sukin.
There would be designated spots with specific times that the homeless could park. In addition, they want to hire a caseworker to screen people who are in the program, and make sure all the sites are run properly until the homeless get back on their feet like Severino, who just got a job in Arizona.
Even though things are looking up for Severino, his daughter, Monique is a student at Monterey Peninsula College and will be staying in California.
"When he leaves I'm going to live in a car," said Monique.
Monique and her father are being kicked out of the First United Method Church parking lot at the end of February. They say it's because the city is getting complaints from residents. Monique just hopes she can find somewhere to rest her head.
"It is unfair. An RV I can understand but a car? It's just someone sleeping in a car.

Multiple myeloma is a disease characterized by the significant accumulation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow. There is a clear need to achieve a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying myeloma cell growth and survival control. It is important to note that the overall proliferative index of this tumor is quite low by comparison with other malignancies. Thus, an equally important clinically relevant aspect of myeloma cell biology is the mechanisms that underlie malignant plasma cell resistance to apoptosis leading to prolonged survival and tumor cell accumulation. Our current lack of knowledge concerning this process in myeloma is paralleled and amplified by our current lack of insight into signals that regulate survival of normal bone marrow resident, long-lived plasma cells. Therefore, it remains unclear whether tumor cells undergo a specific transformation-associated biological change(s) to acquire this property, or whether they exploit and amplify intrinsic tools, present in normal plasma cells, to ensure their survival.
Recent studies in my laboratory have identified a novel pathway promoting enhanced survival of chronic B cell malignancies. We demonstrated that B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS), a member of the tumor necrosis factor family, was expressed in an autocrine1 manner by some leukemic B cells as well as by some myeloma cells. This observation is of great interest because BLyS is critical for maintenance of normal B cell development and homeostasis and shares significant homology with a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL). APRIL stimulates tumor cell growth as well as proliferation of primary lymphocytes and is expressed by a variety of human cancers. Three receptors for BLyS and APRIL have been identified: B cell maturation antigen (BCMA), transmembrane activator and CAML interactor (TACI), and BAFF-R. Whereas BLyS binds to all three receptors, APRIL only binds to TACI and BCMA. Although BAFF-R appears to be the primary receptor underlying BLyS-regulated B cell development and survival, the precise role that each receptor plays in normal B cell and malignant plasma cell biology remains unknown and is therefore the subject of ongoing work in the laboratory.
Work thus far has taken advantage of the well-characterized panel of cytokine-responsive myeloma cell lines established in our laboratory over the past 10 years. Access to primary patient tumor cells has allowed us to make a number of observations. First, we have demonstrated that all of our myeloma cell lines express BLyS mRNA as do the majority of primary myeloma cells tested to date. Moreover, we have been able to detect BLyS at the protein level. Because normal resting B lineage cells do not express BLyS, we believe this is a striking result and has direct clinical implications. Second, we have demonstrated that myeloma cells express a heterogeneous2 pattern of receptor expression for BLyS/APRIL and that one or more of these receptors are active as evidenced by the ability of exogenous3 BLyS and APRIL to augment myeloma cell growth and enhance cell survival. These observations, taking together with the striking effects of BLyS on normal B cell maintenance and survival support the overall hypothesis that the BLyS/APRIL-TACI/BCMA/BAFF-R ligand-receptor system may be involved in the pathogenesis and maintenance of multiple myeloma. In an effort to test this hypothesis, current work centers on a number of integrated projects. First, we are using a variety of methodologies to elucidate the precise impact of BLyS and APRIL on both normal and malignant plasma cell (myeloma cell) survival and growth. In accompanying studies, we are characterizing the down-stream signaling and genetic consequences of BLyS and APRIL activation in malignant plasma cells. Finally, we are very eager to better understand how myeloma cells acquire the ability to express autocrine BLyS given its ability to support myeloma cell survival.
TERMS & DEFINITIONS Autocrine - Denoting a mode of hormone action in which it binds to receptors on and affects the function of the cell type that produced it. Heterogeneous - Composed of parts having dissimilar characteristics or properties. Exogenous - Derived or originating externally; produced outside of an organism, a tissue, or a cell.

Police continue to look into a shooting that claimed the life of an Altoona teenager this week.
Jesse T. McElhinney, 16, of 125 E. Third Ave. was killed Wednesday afternoon after a friend brought a handgun to his house, McElhinney's grandfather Dean Sprankle said Thursday.
Please see obiutary on Page A7
"I guess he didn't think it was loaded," Sprankle said of the boy, who was a friend of his grandson's from church.
Sprankle said he and his wife, Bev, were raising Jesse and his older brother, Kenneth, 18, after the boys' parents died. He said Jesse was "a good kid" who was getting good grades - he was a high honor student - was active in the church and had a lot of friends.
"It's something - you can't put a picture on it," Sprankle said of the shooting and the effect it's had on the family. He said Jesse's death has been hard on all of them.
"They're supposed to bury us - not [us] bury them," Sprankle said.
Exactly what happened on Wednesday afternoon remains unclear. Sprankle said the friend brought the .38-caliber handgun to the house, and McElhinney was shot in the temple.
Sprankle said it was his understanding the other teen, who was taken into custody by Altoona police following the shooting, has now been released.
A neighbor, who declined to give his last name but said he was two years older than Jesse McElhinney, said the news of Jesse's death "was difficult."
"We were supposed to go sledding," said the young man. "He was just a good kid."
Altoona Area School District spokeswoman Paula Foreman said grief counselors will be available for students and faculty when school resumes Jan. 2.
Police said no new details of the shooting would be released Thursday but investigators would be meeting with Blair County District Attorney Richard Consiglio to discuss whether charges would be filed.
Mirror Staff Writer Greg Bock is at 946-7458.

quote: Now I assumed you understood economics, but I'll break it down.More units sold=lower prices=better value proposition for users/carriers.
quote: Having the greater market share also means you have control over the direction of the market.
quote: And you're beginning to see Androids effect on the direction of the market- Apple has started to follow Android's lead by integrating features that Android has had (in some cases) for years prior to iOS and creating products that can compete with Android's value proposition (downmarket) to recapture market share.

quote: Finally I repeat my simple proposition and ask some one to try to refute it. In the new mobile device world having the largest unit sales does not mean that a platform can deliver more profits for device makers or developers, more peripherals, more or better software, or more content. In which case what is the advantage of a platform selling more units?

When you hear "Oktoberfest", what comes to mind? If you are anything like me, it's beer. Beer can be a caloric bomb, though, next bringing to mind the term "beer belly".
Beer doesn't contain fat; however, it does have tons of carbohydrates, protein and alcohol- and that's it. Beer is the epitome of empty calories, giving you all the calories with no vitamins, minerals or redeeming health qualities whatsoever. A gram of carbohydrates has 4 calories, a gram of protein 4 calories, and a gram of alcohol has a little over 7 calories. This is why different beers can have higher calorie counts in relation to their alcohol content.
To keep things in perspective, I found this information online at realbeer.com: "A five-ounce glass of wine contains about 125 calories; one ounce of distilled spirits, 90 proof, 75 calories. Beyond the world of alcohol: an eight-ounce glass of milk has 160 calories, one ounce of potato chips 160 calories, a banana split 550 calories, and a Burger King Whopper 650 calories.

James Franklin has been a very busy guy his first two days on the job as Penn State's football coach, and Sunday evening he got a chance to make a first impression with the players on his new team.
Franklin held his first squad meeting, and all returning players were present, including quarterback Christian Hackenberg. At this point there is no reason to believe Hackenberg has any intention of leaving the program now that Bill O'Brien has departed.
It's unclear exactly what the coach told the players, but Franklin gave an indication Saturday about the message he planned to convey.

James Franklin has been on a whirlwind tour since Saturday.
"I'm going to talk about the relationship, I'm going to talk about chemistry, I'm going to talk about the reason [he and his coaching staff have] been successful in the past is because of those two things," Franklin said.
He mentioned he's not a robotic kind of head coach, someone who just stands in front of the team and says typical coach speak kind of things.
For Franklin, it's all about the personal relationships and trying to get through to every player on an individual level.
"I don't get up and stand in front of them and try to act like a head coach is supposed to act," he said. "I talk to them in very plain English. I let them know how much we care about them, and we're going to get to work."
It was pointed out to the coach that the Penn State players have been through more than their share of adversity with the NCAA sanctions and coaching changes, and he was asked how he plans to build trust with them.
"That's something that's going to be earned over time," Franklin said. "You don't just walk in and grab somebody's trust. It's how you behave and how you interact on a daily basis. I have a coaching staff and myself that we're genuine, we're real guys."
Franklin has been on a whirlwind tour since Saturday morning. He started that day by addressing the players at Vanderbilt, saying heartfelt goodbyes to a bunch of young men he's very fond of and achieved a lot of success with the past two years.
"It was very difficult," Franklin said. "I got in this business because I love kids and I care about people. So to walk in that room and say goodbye to those guys and the text messages that they've sent me, the relationships that I hope I have with those young men for the rest of their lives means the world to me."
The coach said he never turned down a speaking engagement at Vanderbilt, which in many ways he had to do to sell a program that had never had success in a city that also features an NFL team in the Tennessee Titans.
"At the time that we arrived, there wasn't a fan base, there wasn't enthusiasm for the program," he said. "There was a lot of missing things, and we had to get out on campus, in the community and build a sense of pride in being Vanderbilt."
He said that included making three stops at every fraternity and sorority house on campus to drum up interest from the students.
Franklin won't have to do anywhere near as much of that kind of stuff at Penn State, not eventually anyway. For the time being, as a new coach he has to make the rounds as much as possible.
His Sunday scheduled included speaking at the PSU women's volleyball team's banquet, then at the Nittany Lions' wrestling match, then at the Lady Lions' basketball game.
The top thing on the agenda now is finalizing his coaching staff, and Franklin is expected to bring along several of his assistants from Vanderbilt. The coach said he would announce the entire staff all at once rather than when individual pieces fall into place.
This is a very important time in recruiting, as well, so Franklin and his staff have to hit the ground running in that regard.
Evaluating the talent he already has on his own team also will be a key, so Franklin and his assistants probably will be spending a lot of time in the film room the next couple of months. Then again, O'Brien said he went the unusual route of not watching film from the previous year when he took over, instead opting to evaluate the players once spring practice started.
O'Brien left after only two years to become head coach of the Houston Texans, but not without putting his stamp on the PSU program in many ways.
"Bill was a great coach," Penn State President Rodney Erickson said. "I thought the world of Bill, and I hope Bill will continue to stay in touch in the years ahead.
"I told Bill someday when the Texans go to the Super Bowl, I expect a couple of tickets. I have a sense Bill had long-term aspirations to the NFL, and we talked about that on various occasions."
Erickson will be leaving his post this summer, but he expects the new coach to be at Penn State well into the future.
"I think Coach Franklin's sort of coming of age in college football is very important to him," Erickson said. "I have every expectation that James could be here a long time."

wholeheartedly agree. that and the halo's. ahhh good time, good times.
TS2 was a really good game, and I really wish it's all of it's multiplayer maps had been put into TS3.
But when you say 'good times' in a nostalgic way, I do have to add that those times are still here, at least for some of us. I still have TS2 (and TS3, and Halo, and Breakdown, and Stranger's Wrath, and Thief 3, and over a hundred other XBox 1 games) and I'm not getting rid of my XBox 1 or my games. I have a 360 and I think it's great, but I do prefer the XBox 1's library overall, and if I could only have either the XBox 1 or the Xbox 360 I'd choose the XBox 1 without hesitation. I don't understand the people who claim to love great games but get rid of their old machine when they get the next console up. Even if you could get a decent price for your old console(s) and games (and you mostly can't) I wouldn't get rid of my XBox 1/N64/PS2/Gamecube, nor will I be getting rid of my 360 when the next XBox comes out. I still play on all the machines every so often (though by far I spend my time on the N64, XBox 1 and Xbox 360) and each machine has a stack of games I love to play and will play through again in the future.

So far I have played many Xbox games but my all time favourite Xbox game is COD MW2.
COD MW2 is a XB360 game not an original Xbox one. Wrong forum?
Whilst I'm here: one of my favourite Xbox console exclusives was Thief III: Deadly Shadows but in terms of longevity of entertainment value it's hard to think of another Xbox only game I've enjoyed more than Morrowind: The Elder Scrolls III. I still have (and will definitely do sometime) the second (Tribunal) expansion pack the GOTYE edition included.

marriage for the sake of sex only. There is no room for maintaining love and continuing one's generation. One who indulges in such a type of marriage often jilts one's partner after one has derived sexual satisfaction and begins looking for another partner.

CHARLESTON - An Eastern Panhandle lawmaker reported possible threats over gun legislation this week to West Virginia Capitol police.
Sen. Herb Snyder, D-Jefferson, said senate offices have been inundated with phone calls and emails from gun rights supporters following the Senate's receipt of HB2760, which would eliminate gun ordinances in four West Virginia cities that were grandfathered in about two decades ago.
The bill was sent to the Senate government organization committee, of which Snyder is the chairman.
"Within hours of having the bill sent to my committee, my desk started being flooded with phone calls," Snyder said.
More concerned for his staff than his own safety, Snyder described the calls and emails as "quite angry" and "threatening."
"It is very abusive for our staff to have to deal with these types of calls," Snyder said.
Those contacting Snyder's office, as well as that of Sen. Corey Palumbo, D-Kanawha, are urging the two to take up HB2760. Snyder said one call, allegedly from Harrison County, was particularly ominous.
"(The caller) said, 'If you don't pass that bill, you won't go home,'" Snyder said.
It is unlikely the Senate will take up the House bill until after April 3, which is what lawmakers call "crossover day." That is the deadline by which bills must be out of their houses of origin, Snyder said.
"You don't take a house bill up immediately," Snyder said. "Apparently some of these callers don't understand that."
While the calls and emails are still under investigation, Snyder said he believes the West Virginia Citizens Defense League is behind them. Some callers have identified themselves as members, and Snyder said the WVCDL is planning a rally in Charles Town at the end of the month regarding the legislation.
"Clearly the CDL is party to this. There's no question," Snyder said.
Art Thomm, vice president of the WVCDL, said the organization has not urged its members to make threats to lawmakers.
"We don't work that way," Thomm said. "That will do nothing to move forward anybody's cause."
Moreover, Thomm said, he wants to be notified if any WVCDL member makes threatening comments and he said the organization will assist in any way regarding the investigation and prosecution of those found to be making threats.
"The thought of anybody offering personal violence of any sort is intolerable," Thomm said. "That will (result in) immediate removal from the membership rolls."
Snyder said the National Rifle Association has been notified of the situation. The organization said it is not affiliated with those who are contacting legislators.
"They have a professional lobbyist, and he is apologizing that this is happening," Snyder said.
The tone in the state legislature has never been this volatile, Snyder said. He added that there have never been this many gun-related bills - as many as 30 - introduced during one session.
"It's (like) this whole gun debate has just raised some really hot fever," Snyder said, describing it as "perplexing."
Thomm said the WVCDL is issuing an alert to members that says the organization does not support making threatening comments to lawmakers.
"Politics doesn't work that way. Not the way that we do it," Thomm said.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Following are the highlights and lowlights from Penn State's 39-28 victory over Northwestern on Saturday at Beaver Stadium:
Play of the game: On third-and-goal from the Northwestern 5, trailing 28-25, Matt McGloin scrambled for a 5-yard TD rush, diving into the right corner of the end zone to give Penn State a 32-28 lead with 2:37 remaining in the game.
Offensive player of the game: McGloin completed 35-of-51 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns. He was not intercepted.

Penn State linebacker Gerald Hodges wraps up Northwestern running back Venric Mark.
Defensive player of the game: Gerald Hodges led Penn State with 11 tackles, including one for loss, and forced a fumble. He also broke up two passes.
Most telling statistic: Thanks to 10 third-down conversions and five more on fourth down, PSU nearly doubled Northwestern in time of possession, 39:17-20:43.
Hidden statistic: The Nittany Lions' 99 offensive plays were 38 more than Northwestern's and tied a PSU single-game record set in a 38-6 win at West Virginia in 1966.
Best run: There were longer ones on the day, but Zach Zwinak's 12-yarder in the second quarter, in which he broke a tackle, spun to elude another and lunged to the NW 1, was impressive.
Best return: Northwestern's Venric Mark brought back a punt 75 yards for a TD late in the third quarter to extend the Wildcats' lead to 28-17.
Best pass: It wasn't gorgeous, but on fourth-and-2 from the NW 19, McGloin hit Brandon Moseby-Felder for 13 yards to the Wildcats' 6, which helped set up the go-ahead score. If McGloin misses there, down 28-25 with three minutes left, the outcome could well have been reversed.
Worst pass: After directing Moseby-Felder into an open space, McGloin badly overshot him in the third quarter.
Best catch: Northwestern's Tony Jones made a leaping snag of a 10-yard touchdown pass that was slightly behind him, giving the Wildcats a 14-10 lead with 30 seconds left in the first half.
Catch it, will ya: Tough day for PSU receivers. Allen Robinson and Moseby-Felder each dropped an early pass, and tight end Kyle Carter dropped two, including what would have been a touchdown. But the most glaring miss came with the Nits up 10-0, seemingly in control, and Jesse Della Valle muffed a punt at the Penn State 17 in the second quarter. The Wildcats' Nick VanHoose recovered, and three plays later, the Wildcats cut the lead to 10-7. One more: Evan Lewis' decision not to catch a late punt cost the Nits 15-plus yards.
Hold it, won't ya: Beyond Della Valle's muff, Hodges had an interception in his hands in the second quarter but dropped it while trying to make a return. McGloin also fumbled but alertly recovered at the NW 5 on the game-winning TD drive.
Best block: Lion right tackle Mike Farrell dove to spring a 12-yard gain (for a first down) by Robinson in the first quarter.
Best tackle: On third-and-1, with the Lions leading 10-7, Hodges broke through to dump Northwestern's Mike Trumpy - son of the former Bengals' tight end - for a 1-yard loss, forcing a punt.
Best hit: Glenn Carson closed quickly and decked Mark after a 4-yard reception in the second quarter, forcing a third-and-1 that NW didn't make.
Best coverage: Derek Day hustled downfield and was good in position to alertly down Alex Butterworth's first punt, a 33-yarder, at the Northwestern 1 - pinning the Wildcats in an early hole.
Best kick: Sam Ficken's second-half kickoff traveled 65 yards, clanked off the crossbar and went through the Northwestern uprights.
Worst kick: Butterworth shanked a 22-yard punt in the second quarter.
Worst penalty: Northwestern cornerback Quinn Evans was hit with a 15-yard personal foul for shoving Bill Belton when the latter was already out of bounds, cost NW 15 yards on the game's first possession.
Best call: Penn State won the toss, didn't defer and took the ball, eager to keep Northwestern's offense off the field. It worked as the Lions won time of possession in the first quarter, 12:00 to 3:00.
Worst call: Probably a copout to shift to the officials, but it sure didn't look like Stephon Morris should have been called for interference in the second quarter. The call gave NW 15 yards on third down and extended a possession that culminated with the Wildcats scoring to take a 14-10 lead.
Best effort: Zwinak, with 173 yards of total offense, gaining 121 on 28 rushes and another 62 via five receptions.
Unsung hero: Let's give a shoutout to PSU quarterbacks coach Charlie Fisher on the superior job he's doing with McGloin.

Will pay thru paypal....help needed..plzz
Hi every body..i am not sure whats wrong with the code. I have to submit this assignment today. If any body solves the program and the extra credit, I would pay him through paypal. This program is very important to me. Rit now this program just prints the prime nos till 9. later prints the unwanted nos. Please help me out. here is the program requirement:
************************************************** ***************
Write a program that will generate and print all prime numbers that are less than or equal to a user-defined limit. The program will contain 4 procedures: main and 3 procedures to read the user limit, generate the prime numbers, and print the prime numbers. In addition, the program will have 2 macros to make it more convenient to print text strings and print numeric output.
The program will define an array of 1000 unsigned integers. The main procedure will call each of the other 3 procedures to do the following 3 tasks.
1. This procedure will call the macro to ask the user for an upper limit for the prime numbers. Then procedure will read in and check that the limit is not larger than 7919, the 1000th prime number. If it is larger, the procedure will call the macro to print a warning message that the limit is reset to 7919. Then the procedure will return the limit back to the main procedure.
2. This procedure will fill the array with prime numbers up to the limit. The array is passed into this procedure by address.
Algorithm to generate the prime numbers:
a. initialize the first 2 elements of the array to 2 and 3 (the first 2 prime numbers)
<!--[if !supportLists]--> b. <!--[endif]-->loop through all odd numbers less than or equal to the limit, starting with the number 5, and test each number this way:
<!--[if !supportLists]--> - Divide the test number by each array element (starting at 3) until the quotient is smaller than the divisor, or until the test number is divisible by the array element.
<!--[if !supportLists]--> - If the test number is divisible by the array element, it is not a prime number. Start the loop again with the next test number.
<!--[if !supportLists]--> - If the quotient becomes smaller than the divisor, the test number is a prime. Put it in the next available spot in the array and update the next available index. (Note that when you first start the loop, the next available index is at the third element of the array)
To see the calculation of the first several prime numbers, click here.
<!--[if !supportLists]--> 3. <!--[endif]-->This procedure will call the macro to print a header, and then print all the prime numbers in the array, 10 numbers per line. To print each prime number, the procedure will call a macro to print the number and a space. Again, the array should be passed by address to this procedure.
In addition to the 4 procedures, the program also has 2 macros.
The first macro makes printing text strings easier. If the name of the macro is print, the programmer can code: print str1 where str1 is a string which has been defined in the data segment.
The second macro prints a numeric value and a space. If the name of the macro is 'printNum', the programmer can code: printNum eax and the numeric value in eax will be printed followed by a space character.
To think about
- Don't forget to save and restore registers that are used by each macro and each procedure
- In 32-bit mode, the size of each data value on the stack is 32 bits or 4 bytes. This means that to access data in the stack, you should use multiples of 4 for the offset from EBP.
- For the array of prime numbers, you can use word or doubleword data. When you walk the array, just remember to increment by the right number for your data size.
Absolute must haves
- Use the stack to pass input arguments and return values. Except for the main procedure, all other procedures must get input data from the stack and return data through the stack. These procedures should not use any memory variables defined in the .data section, with the exception of string constants used to print to screen.1
- Implement the prime number algorithm given in this lab. Do not use a different algorithm.
- As before, document your program clearly. When it comes to parameter passing through the stack, clear documentation will save you a lot of headaches.
- Programs that do not assemble successfully will receive 1/3 credit at most.
1 Extra Credit (2 pts)
- Implement the procedures so the string constants are passed to them through the stack. This means these procedure does not directly fetch any data from the .data section

Ally Bank Review
|Email Print
In mid-May, GMAC Bank changed its name to Ally Bank. With General Motors in the news every day for something negative, it's hard to do business when everyone thinks you're about to go out of business. The funny thing about it all is that GMAC Bank's parent company, GMAC Financial, hasn't been a part of General Motors for several years. When you have financial companies in distress and auto companies in distress, a bank that people think is inextricably linked to auto company is in some deep trouble.
So, they changed their name.
But are they a good bank to do business with? Let's find out.
History Lesson on GMAC
If you are confused with all the acronyms and relationships between businesses, you aren't a lone. I was very confused. GMAC stand for General Motors Acceptance Corporation and was once a wholly owned financial services arm of General Motors, the auto manufacturer. The financial services company provided financing to GM dealers, among other things. In 2006, General Motors sold a majority stake in GMAC to Cerberus Capital Management, thus providing some separation in the GM and GMAC relationship. Last year, GMAC was converted to a bank holding company to give them access to TARP funds.
GMAC Bank is a subsidiary of GMAC Financial Services, which offers a whole host of other financial products. This year, in May, GMAC Bank changed their name to Ally Bank.
Whew! Hopefully that all makes sense, but the end result is that Ally Bank/GMAC Bank is part of GMAC Financial Services, which is separate from General Motors itself and has been since 2006.
FDIC Insured
First things first, always confirm that the bank is FDIC insured. I would never bank at a non FDIC/NCUA insured financial institution and neither should you. Ally Bank is FDIC insured under FDIC certificate #57803 and have been since August 2004. The FDIC certificate still lists gmacbank.com as their primary internet web address but that will redirect you to the Ally Bank homepage. If you're curious, their headquarters is at 6985 Union Park Center, Midvale, UT 84047.
Bankrate Safe & Sound rating: I don't put a tremendous amount of credence in bank ratings because I believe FDIC insurance trumps everything, but they are valuable to read so you know what you're getting into. Since the reports are quarterly, the most recent one is from December 2008, which is arguably a little dated. Back then, they still had a three star rating (out of five) and their predictive indicator was positive. You can read the memo for GMAC Bank here. I didn't find a more recent report.
Online Savings Account
Let's get to the reason why you and I care about Ally Bank in the first place, their deposit products. Ally Bank's high interest rate on their high yield savings account is pretty good, enough to snag one of the top spots on my table of high yield savings account rates (Everbank is listed higher with an asterisk because they offer a promo rate for three months). The minimum to open is a comedic $0 (they will close your account if you don't fund it, but I'd read that to say "no minimums") and there are no monthly fees.
One thing I do like seeing is the explicit listing of a limit of six withdrawals or transfers per statement cycle. This limit is true on all savings accounts because there is a six transfer/withdrawal limit mandated by federal regulations. So many people, myself included, run into this problem with online accounts and it's mostly out of ignorance. It's nice to see them inform people about it.
No Penalty Certificate of Deposit
They've been heavily promoting the fact that they have no tricks, with no fees, no minimums, and all sorts of other anti-gimmick messages. It's a great angle, especially during a time when banks are trying to earn as much revenue as possible, but a lot of other banks have very low minimums and don't have any maintenance fees. In that respect, they're not that much different. However, they do have one unique product – a no-penalty CD.
The no penalty CD lets you withdraw your money without paying a penalty, which is usually several months worth of interest. On CDs shorter than 12 months, the standard penalty is three months worth of interest. On CDs greater than 12 months, the standard penalty is six months worth of interest. For the no penalty CD, the penalty is in fact $0. The difference is in the interest rate.
In May 2009, they offered a 9-month No Penalty CD at 2.50% APY and a 9-month regular CD at 2.60% APY rate, a difference of 0.10% APY (the rates have since changed). That translates into $0.75 on ever $1,000 deposited over the 9 month period. Seventy five cents doesn't look like a lot, but to be fair you need to compare it with the interest you would've earned at 2.60%. When you calculate the difference as a percentage of the total interest earned, it's not a significant price to pay at 3.86%. You lose a little under percent to gain the flexibility to cancel, it doesn't seem too bad and would be a fair price if you think interest rates are rising.
The only downside with the no penalty CD is that the only term they offer is 9 months.
It's FDIC insured, they have great rates compared to their peers, and they seem to be in sound financial shape. I don't have an account with them but I've heard good things about people who opened GMAC Bank accounts because of their great rates. I don't see anything that would stop me from banking with them.
Do you have a GMAC Bank/Ally Bank account? What do you think of them?{ 345 comments, please add your thoughts now! }
