An investigation by nonprofit journalism group ProPublica has uncovered the identity of one of the secret super PACs funding advertisements attacking U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and promoting his challenger, Ohio state treasurer Josh Mandel.
The group is the Government Integrity Fund and is headed by Columbus lobbyist Tom Norris. Norris' lobbying firm Cap Square Solutions employs former Mandel aide Joe Ritter.
Ritter declined to comment to ProPublica about his role with Norris' lobbying firm or whether he is involved with the Government Integrity Fund.
The race between Brown and Mandel is considered vital to Republicans who want to take control of the Senate and Democrats who want to hold on to their majority. It has turned into Ohio's — and the nation's — most expensive race.
The Associated Press reported in August that outside groups — like the Government Integrity Fund — have spent $15 million supporting Mandel, while similar groups have spent $3 million for Brown.
It's unknown where the money is coming from because federal regulations and the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United case allow the groups to spend unlimited amounts of cash on political ads without disclosing their donors.
Such groups are classified as non-profit "social welfare" groups, which don't have to release donor information or register with the Federal Election Commission. They're supposed to be "primarily" engaged in promoting social welfare.
Super PACs aren't supposed to coordinate with campaigns, but it is common for them to hire politicians' former aides.
According to ProPublica, Ritter was first hired by Mandel as an aide when the candidate was in the Ohio Legislature. He was then the field director for Mandel's state treasurer campaign and then became a constituent and executive agency liaison when Mandel won that race. He left the treasurer's office after six months to work for Norris' lobbying firm.
Ritter was part of an ethics complaint filed after a Dayton Daily News investigation into Mandel's practice of hiring former campaign workers for state jobs. Ritter has contested the charges.
Norris' ties to the Government Integrity Fund was discovered by ProPublica through documents filed with Cincinnati NBC affiliate WLWT. The Federal Communication Commission requires TV stations to keep detailed records about political advertisers.
• HuffingtonPost.com quickly repeated this potential calumny: "Investigators have a suspect — a Saudi Arabian national — in the horrific Boston Marathon bombings, The (New York) Post has learned. Law enforcement sources said the 20-year-old suspect was under guard at an undisclosed Boston hospital."
About the same time, Massachusetts and Boston officials were telling journalists they had no suspects.
I recall how authorities initially sought someone who looked like an Arab after the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was bombed in 1995. How do I know? It was all over the news media. As the current FBI website puts it, "Coming on the heels of the (first) World Trade Center bombing in New York two years earlier, the media and many Americans immediately assumed that the attack was the handiwork of Middle Eastern terrorists."
Two white non-Arab Americans were convicted of the bombing. The only "Arab" link was murderer Timothy McVeigh's military service in the first Iraq invasion, Desert Storm, where he won a Bronze Star. Meanwhile, conspiracy theorists continued to weave elaborate links between the Oklahoma City bombers and Arabs.
• Everyone with a microphone seems to be telling us the investigation of the Boston bombings will be complex and unhurried. Many recall how long it took to abandon suspicion of security guard Richard Jewell as the Atlanta Olympics bomber. It took two years to identify Eric Rudolph as the bomber and another five to arrest him. False leads will abound and forensic evidence will be sought, collected and analyzed. Some will be helpful, some will be misleading. With so many journalists present, initial coverage largely was self-correcting. The rumor of seven more bombs or a bomb at the JFK library was quickly spiked. The story that local officials blew up a third bomb lasted a little longer. That was half-correct: They blew up a package/backpack but it was not a bomb. There were only two bombs as of this writing.
Everyone with a microphone seems to be saying the Boston bombing investigation will be complex and unhurried. Many recall how long it took to abandon suspicion of security guard Richard Jewell as the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bomber. False leads will abound and forensic evidence will be sought, collected and analyzed. Some will be helpful, some will be misleading.
• If bombers hoped to create terror, the Boston Marathon was a smart choice: there would be lots of images from cell phones and the news media. It fits my theory of 9/11: the initial 2001 attack on the World Trade Center tower was timed to assure the news media would get full coverage of the jetliner flying into the second tower.
• Moving on from bloodshed, Rachel Richardson's Enquirer story about dogs in the workplace was a smart story, especially part about socialization being vital to a dog fitting in.
And she pushed my nostalgia button. My first job out of college was night editing a daily paper in Italy. I bought a Belgian Shepherd (Groenendael) pup and named him Loki for the Norse trickster. His mother was a part-wolf/mountain shepherd's companion and father was an Italian ex-Army K9. With long, silky black coat, a plume of a tail, alert eyes and ears, Loki was an unbeatable chick magnet.
His socialization comprised strolling Rome, riding and waiting in my car, joining me in bars and restaurants, and lying under my desk at the Rome Daily American at night when I was the only journalist. I didn't know the breed is famous/infamous for one-person loyalty and instinct to protect: person, possessions, etc.
Loki didn't approve of anyone approaching my desk when I was in the back shop where type was set, pages were composed and the press run. Anyone else would bring him to his feet, ears back, shoulder blades up, teeth bared . . . but silent. Even as a pup, he could be menacing. "Lupo siberiano," or Siberian wolf, was the Roman nickname for the breed.
Night messengers who brought engraved zinc plates — photos for every edition in that ancient era of hot type and flatbed press — quickly learned to avoid the newsroom and come directly into the back shop. Loki was a force to be accommodated.
Away from the office, he'd curl up on my Sunbeam Alpine's passenger seat and bite anyone who was silly enough to reach into the car in hopes of a quick theft.
He rarely let go before I returned and that could create Roman opera buffa. Loki's victim typically threatened to call police about my vicious dog and — without telling Loki to let go — I offered to help by shouting for police. We never did call for police. When released, the would-be thief unfailingly walked away, cursing me for enticing him with an open sports car into what he hoped was a crime of opportunity.
When I worked days, Loki stayed home nearby. His socialization didn't accommodate the chaos of a small, crowded newsroom with strangers coming and going.
Again, thanks for the reminder: fun, smart and god help us, mindful of Enquirer watchdog obligations.
• As anticipated here, the Cleveland Plain Dealer is following other Newhouse dailies by reducing home deliveries to three days a week: Sunday and two days to be named later. The PD says it will print seven days a week for street sales. It also plans to fire about a third of its newsroom staff. It's a sad demise of what long was Ohio's best daily.
• The Enquirer business section headline was "Survey: Downtown seen as more positive." That's also what the story said, based on what Downtown Cincinnati Inc. told the paper. The accompanying photo showed people playing in Washington Park in Over-the-Rhine. People feeling positive downtown just weren't photogenic.
• Read Gina Kolata's April 7 New York Times story on a new understanding of the role of red meat in heart trouble. It's among the best story telling in a long time. It's a complicated subject but she draws us in with researchers sitting down to sizzling sirloin breakfast "for the sake of science." It gets even better as she explains that the science involves "a little-studied chemical that is burped out by bacteria . . . " Talk about imagery. Send photos.
• NPR is killing its Monday-Thursday afternoon call-in show, Talk of the Nation, and we'll all be poorer for it. Talk of the Nation involves civil, lengthy discussion of timely topics. NPR is working with Boston's WBUR to create a program for Talk's 2-4 p.m. time slot. NPR says member stations wanted a program more like Morning Edition and All Things Considered in the afternoon and evening. Too bad. Expect lots of canned (and cheaply produced) interviews that seem to be the promise of the new show.
• Journalists should refuse to name sources to whom they've promised confidentiality. The corollary, of course, is to ask first whether we're willing to serve time for contempt of court if we reject a judge's demands that we break our word and name our source(s). In that sense, we probably don't think it will happen to us and almost mindlessly promise confidentiality to encourage sources to talk to us.
So when there is a court confrontation, the refusenik journalist typically is cast as the hero and the judge as a mindless apparatchik and/or tool of the prosecutor. That's too simple. Reporters are free to ask their sources to release them from their promise of confidentiality. Judges should compel testimony only when prosecutors have used every other way to identify reporters' sources and silence could pervert justice. Judges are on the hot seat as much as reporters.
The latest unresolved contest involves Jana Winter who quoted unnamed law enforcement personnel when she reported that Aurora, Colo., gunman James Holmes sent an incriminating notebook to his psychiatrist before massacring moviegoers. FoxNews.com's Winter said the notebook was filled with violent notes and drawings. Now that the apparently accurate information is out, I don't see how the sources' identities matter to a fair trial if there ever is one.
Rather, I like what Mark Feldstein, a journalism professor at the University of Maryland, told the New York Times: "If you required reporters to disclose their sources every time there was a minor leak in a high profile criminal case, the jails would be filled in America with journalists."
• London's Daily Mail reports the auction of a log book kept by the RAF navigator whose "bouncing bomb" breached a vital German dam during World War II. The raid was portrayed in the film, The Dambusters. The Daily Mail's story was spoiled only by a photo of the unique bomb being dropped by a twin-engine plane; Dambusters flew four-engine Lancaster heavy bombers.
• Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is loathed to degrees that W and Obama cannot imagine. Her death last week sparked national demonstrations of joy even as the government and palace hoped that her almost-state funeral in London could be protected from demonstrators. Haters danced in the street, daubed "Rust in Hell" about the Iron Lady, and sang "Ding, Dong, the Witch Is Dead." That forced BBC to decide whether to play that song from the Wizard of Oz movie on BBC radio shows dedicated to hit songs or on news programs about Thatcher's life and death. The song reportedly became No. 1 on iTunes before the funeral and it was headed for the top of the pop charts, pushed by Thatcher haters. At last report, BBC's director general said only a 5-second snippet would be allowed on the main radio channel. New to his job, he pissed off everyone.
• Patrice Lumumba was the Congo's first prime minister after Belgium granted independence to the huge, potentially wealthy and criminally unprepared colony. He was murdered not long before I began working on the Congo border in Northern Rhodesia. He already was a martyr-hero of the Left when I studied African anthropology in London.
Lumumba's abduction, torture and murder were popularly assumed to be a CIA operation, working with Belgians, rebels in copper-rich Katanga province, and others who coveted the Congo's mineral wealth and mines.
Now, a curious news story in London's Telegraph says Britain's worldwide Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) engineered Lumumba's death. More curious is the weight it gives to a second-hand source. It quotes Lord Lea of Crondall quoting Baroness (Daphne) Park of Monmouth, who was the senior MI6 officer in the Congo then, as saying she "organised it."
Lord Lea told the Telegraph, "It so happens that I was having a cup of tea with Daphne Park – we were colleagues from opposite sides of the Lords – a few months before she died in March 2010. She had been consul and first secretary in Leopoldville, now Kinshasa, from 1959 to 1961, which in practice (this was subsequently acknowledged) meant head of MI6 there. I mentioned the uproar surrounding Lumumba's abduction and murder, and recalled the theory that MI6 might have had something to do with it. 'We did,' she replied, 'I organised it.'"
The Telegraph said Lord Lea claimed Baroness Park reasonably was concerned that Lumumba might be a communist siding with Soviet Russia. After all, African and Asian independence leaders like Lumumba, South Africa's Mandela and others often found their most active Cold War support mainly in Moscow and the wider Communist movement.
Initially blaming the CIA wasn't irrational. By Lumumba's death in 1961, the CIA had engineered the overthrow of elected governments in Iran and Guatemala and botched the Bay of Pigs invasion to topple Cuba's Fidel Castro.
Belgium apologized in 2002 for failing to prevent
Lumumba's death. In 2006, the Telegraph said, "documents showed the CIA
had plotted to assassinate him but the plot was abandoned."
America is a country at war. While the war in Iraq ostensibly drew down in December 2011, the United States has been quagmired in a war in Afghanistan for more than a decade.
But we're also in the midst of a number of other wars — cultural wars. It started with Nixon's War on Drugs, then quickly escalated.
President Barack Obama's environmental regulations on coal mining caused proponents to claim he had declared a War on Coal. The Affordable Care Act's mandate that companies pay for employee contraception caused many faith groups to claim a War on Religion.
Statements from Republican politicians about "legitimate rape" and "binders full of women" caused some Democrats to claim the GOP had declared a War on Women.
And the ever-vigilant conspiracists news hounds at FOX News have exposed a scheme by Jesus-hating liberals to wage a War on Christmas for trying to remove constitutionally questionable dolled-up trees and pastoral scenes of babies in unsuitable barn-life cribbery faith-based displays from public property.
But by far the most heinous altercation being waged originated with Republican Ohio Senate President Tom Niehaus, who has declared a War on Babies.
As first reported by The Enquirer, conservative groups this week sent out a press release vilifying Niehaus for killing tons of babies in a mass effort to wipe out the state's youth population a 17-month old bill that would give Ohio one of the strictest abortion laws in the nation.
Niehaus moved the so-called Heartbeat Bill — which would ban all abortions after the first detectable fetal heartbeat — from the Health Committee to the Rules and Reference Committee to avoid a forced vote on the legislation. He also removed staunch anti-abortion Senators Keith Faber and Shannon Jones from that committee.
"I'm shocked by Tom Niehaus' war on pro-life women," wrote Lori Viars in the news release. Viars is the vice president of Warren County Right to Life and vice chair of Warren County Republican Party.
Viars called for Republicans to remove Niehaus from Senate leadership. Niehaus is term-limited and will not continue on in office after this year.
Niehaus blamed Romney's loss for his decision to kill the bill, saying that the Republican's victory would have increased the likelihood of a U.S. Supreme Court lineup that would uphold it against a likely challenge.
While the presidential candidates prepared for Wednesday's debate, Michelle Obama urged Cincinnatians on Tuesday to take advantage of the first day of early voting, before leading a group to the board of elections to cast their ballots.
"I've got news for you: Here in Ohio it's already Election Day. Early voting starts today," Obama told a crowd of 6,800 inside the Duke Energy Convention Center. She urged everyone to reach out and encourage their friends to vote after they had cast their own ballots.
"Twitter them. Tweet them. What do you do? It's tweeting, right? Tweet them," she joked to the crowd.
Earlier in the morning, the campaign of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney kicked off its "Commit to Mitt Early Vote Express" statewide bus tour in downtown Cincinnati.
The tour started in Hamilton County before moving through Butler County and is scheduled to end the day in Preble County.
The bus is scheduled to make its way through every region of Ohio during the early voting period and will serve as a mobile campaign headquarters, dispensing voter contact materials and featuring Romney campaign surrogates, according to a news release.
At the convention center, Michelle Obama avoided some of the direct attacks employed by her husband or the Romney campaign, but used her 30-minute speech to counter some of the criticisms from the GOP nominee, recapping some of her convention speech.
"Our families weren't asking for much," Michelle said of her own and Barack's families. "They didn't begrudge anyone else's success, you know, they didn't mind if others had much more than they did, in fact they admired it. That's why they pushed us to succeed."
Her comment seemed to come in response to an attack that the Romney campaign levied against Barack Obama after his infamous "you didn't build that" comment, where the GOP candidate argues that Obama and Democrats are fostering enmity among the middle class by stoking jealousy of rich, successful Americans like Mitt Romney.
"Our families believed also that when you work hard and have done well and finally walk through that doorway of opportunity, you don't slam it shut behind you," Michelle Obama continued.
"No, you reach back and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed. You see, that's how Barack and I and so many of you were raised. … We learned that the truth matters – you don't take shortcuts, you don't game the system, you don't play by your own set of rules."
She went on to say that Americans are part of something bigger than themselves and obligated to give back to others, counter to the Republicans' narrative of the individual pulled up by his or her own bootstraps.
Danielle Henderson, 40, a teacher's assistant from Cincinnati, said she was a fan of the first lady's and joked that she wanted to know if Michelle was running for president in 2016.
"Behind every good man is a good woman," Henderson said. "Honestly, a woman is a backbone of the family."
She said she thought the first family was a good model for the rest of the country.
Henderson's mother-in-law Barbara joked that she was excited to see what the first lady was going to wear.
"I see trends she sets trickle down to other politicians' wives," she joked.
Referred to as the "Stir the Pot" series, a film/discussion series at Grace Episcopal Church in College Hill (5501 Hamilton Ave. 45224) will show The Freedom Files on Feb. 22 at 4:30 p.m.
According to the ACLU, producers of the video series, the Freedom Files focuses on issues on some of the most volatile issues of our day including surveillance, sex education, freedom from abuse of power, school to prison pipeline and lesbian/gay families.
Just exactly who will fill Patricia Clancy's old job as Hamilton County's assistant chief probation officer -- or if it will be filled at all -- is turning into a state secret worthy of the Manhattan Project.
On National Coming Out Day, Cincinnati's only openly gay city councilman told CityBeat that equality for America's Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgendered people would take a hit under a President Mitt Romney.
"On day one (of his presidency) he (Romney) could hurt gay families by reinstating Don't Ask, Don't Tell and hurt security for our country," Seelbach said. "We need as many people serving as possible."
Councilman Chris Seelbach spoke to CityBeat as he waited to vote early outside of the Hamilton County Board of Elections.
Proponents of the measure that prevented openly gay service members from serving in the military have said repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell would damage the country's combat-readiness.
A study published by the Williams Institute at University of California Los Angeles Law School in September found that there has been no overall negative impact on military readiness, unit cohesion, recruitment, retention or morale.
Seelbach said there would be a stark contrast for LGBT people under President Barack Obama and his GOP rival. He pointed to the Obama administration's refusal to defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court; his vocal approval of same-sex marriage; anti-discrimination measures signed by the president that, among other things, give same-sex partners the right to visit their loved ones in the hospital and make medical decisions.
He said the next president would also likely have the opportunity to appoint new justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. The court will likely decide the fate of California's Proposition 8, which outlawed gay marriage.
"If you care about equality, you've got to vote," Seelbach said. "The easiest way to vote is to vote early."
The Obama campaign in Ohio plans to release a new online ad touting the president's accomplishments for LGBT people.
The ad, made available to CityBeat, features Zach Wahls, a gay-rights activist born to a lesbian couple via artificial insemination. Wahls is known for his testimony before the Iowa House Judiciary Committee against a constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage in that state.
In the ad, Wahls touts the president's accomplishments and exhorts Ohioans to reelect Obama.
"We want to make sure that we're all doing everything we can this fall to get out, register voters, canvass, knock on doors, get our family members and friends out to the polls so that we can re-elect the best president this country has ever seen on LGBT rights," Wahls said.
Tea party activists are working to gather the 380,000 signatures needed to get the Ohio Workplace Freedom Act on the ballot. They have until July 3.
The Michigan House of Representatives on Tuesday passed the first of two right-to-work bills, both of which were passed by the state Senate last week. Gov. Rick Snyder has told multiple media outlets that he could sign the bills as early as Wednesday.
Michigan would be the 24th right-to-work state in the nation and the second in the Midwest. Indiana passed a similar law earlier this year.
Members of the Ohio House Democratic Caucus wore red carnations — Ohio's state flower and a symbol of the labor movement — at the Statehouse Tuesday to show support for Michigan workers.
"Put simply, so called 'right to work' is wrong. Statistics show states with this anti-working family legislation have lower wages and higher poverty rates," Ohio state Rep. Connie Pillich, D-Montgomery, wrote in an emailed statement.
"We will continue to stand together and fight against these unfair attacks on workers in Ohio, Michigan and across the country."
Despite the effort to put a right-to-work law on the ballot next year — a similar effort was unsuccessful in 2012 — it doesn't seem like Ohio is in any rush to join Michigan and Indiana.
The Columbus Dispatch reports that Ohio Gov. John Kasich has higher priorities than passing a right-to-work law. The newspaper reports that Ohio added 127,000 jobs in the past two years and ranks fourth nationally and first in the Midwest in terms of job creation.
Kasich said the agenda for the last two years of his first term include tax cuts, an education overhaul and infrastructure improvement to keep the state competitive.
"I have an agenda that I think is going to benefit the state of Ohio," Kasich told the newspaper. "We're doing very well vis-a-vis the rest of the country now, and I think if we continue to pursue the agenda I have and the legislature has, I think we'll continue to be successful."
FUN FACT: Michigan's right-to-work bill will be signed into law in the Romney Building. George Romney, former Michigan governor and father of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, was an opponent of right-to-work laws.
If you made in to D.C. for the inauguration, let everyone know how it was. Drop some comments below about your experiences.
If you have photos you'd like to share, send them to our web guru, Cameron Knight: firstname.lastname@example.com. He can organize them into a gallery on our photo page or even a multimedia show and we can create a new photo link on our inauguration section, Road to the Presidency.

HGTV.com HGTV Message Boards HGTV Contests & Giveaways Green Home 2012 Scripps DIY Waldoboro, Maine home sweepstakes |
Go | New | Find | Notify | Tools | Reply |
Scripps is offering a renovated home in Waldoboro, Maine prize in their DIY sweepstakes that ends on 28 September. Be prepared to deal with taxes, as the prize doesn't have a cash option or any cash to accompany the home to help pay taxes. Maine's income tax is 8.5%; the Fed rate could be back to near 40% in January. Good luck. | |||
Where's Waldo...boro? | ||||
20 miles west of Camden, Maine, and thus not on the ocean. 1300 population. Anyone know anything about the value of this renovation or last year's? I am hesitant to enter since I don't know anything about the renovations' contractors or reliability of the DIY project. Is this home really worth $699,000? With Maine's 8.5% and the expected 39.6% Fed tax, the prize added to one's own income in 2012 would mean tax total of nearly $400K, April 15, 2013. Could the winner move this home into the real estate market with an enthusiastic outlook? There were only 9 million entries in 2011, versus 50M+ for the Dream Home 2012. | ||||
Tango, I really loves the views it offers from the living room and it uses alot of repurposing. It is cute, but i still can not fiqure out if it has a powder room downstairs as the original powder room wa combined with the laundry room to make a craft area. Anyone know? *****Catch the Excitement***** ******Dreams and happiness to all my MB friends****** ~ ~ ♥ ~ ~♥ ~ ~♥~~♥~~♥ a flapjaw and a Sheltie collector avatar fan Real Friends Believe in Your Dreams | ||||
State income tax is based on state of residence so unless the winner happens to reside in Maine already, they will pay whatever tax their home state imposes. Even if the total federal and state is 50% that would still leave after a sale about $350,000 for the winner. It is also possible the taxes would not be payable until 2014 if the transfer does not take place until after the first of the year. | ||||
Thanks, Chuck. Also, Maine might have a Fed tax offset that could reduce Maine tax. I am guessing Scripps will put the LLC title in transfer in tax year 2012? Where is Waldoboro? is a question that rings loud. It's a great idea venue for DIY. They did it again. They enjoyed some significant donor help from different sources. As for the renovation itself, I enjoy this type of opportunity, but the restrictions on an 1880's home are considerable and provide many challenges. This still looks to me like a white elephant, but with future equity down the road. There are tens of acres that come with the prize; the lake shore is a delightful plus. Perhaps this is the basis of the 700K prize valuation. I am not finding that this spellS hurrah for the now-finished dwelling. The sq footage is listed at both 2500 and 3300. The air conditioning is installed in two or three rooms, no central HVAC. The barn is not regarded as a garage; has no electric, no road paving to it from the home. The well and septic are typical of a country setting. Cows ' likely an option, but moose comes with a hunting permit. Yet there are pluses, upgrades. There is charm, there is snow, there are black flies, there is Maine. IMHO, equity in the area, location, distance to basic needs are important issues. Exposure and confirmation from realtor advisors are still not items I can find for one to enter the Sweeps, to take on a win of this amount of tax liability and not stress after signing the sweepstakes' docs. Any help? Someone in lower NE or in NY might like its summer, vacational presence and land equity opportunity? : Je suis desolais, Je suis le spectator, non entrante.This message has been edited.

Those are all really good thoughts and questions. We will need to continue to look into these areas for answers for better understanding of the options. I do think they have reused and refurbished much which is a good thing and it is charming and the land have great views. Have either of you heard of a wood burning hot tub? that was a new concept for me. *****Catch the Excitement***** ******Dreams and happiness to all my MB friends****** ~ ~ ♥ ~ ~♥ ~ ~♥~~♥~~♥ a flapjaw and a Sheltie collector avatar fan Real Friends Believe in Your Dreams | ||||
motherearth.com has some listings on wood-fired tubs. These soakers are a magnet. :>) however, referring to caveats...once filled, one must keep the tub water above freezing level; empty it after usage. Beware of bacterial action which can invade the bronchial/lung area: called hot tub lung disease, it comes on with use of a substitute for good old chlorine sanitation. | ||||
Thanks Tango, I will check it out. Having to empty and refill each time seems like a waste of water.

Practical Perks
By: Tyler Edwards
Updated: March 18, 2009
Several lenders are offering new features, from money management tools to savings incentives.
Ken Clark is an author and financial expert. He says companies are listening to todays struggling consumers. "The trend in credit cards is moving away from rewards that are really leisure based," said Clark. "You know, free airline tickets, free hotel stays -- to things that are more practical."
Schwabs "Invest First" card gives you 2 percent cash back on purchases. Then, those rewards can be deposited into your brokerage account. Fidelitys retirement rewards card also helps build your nest egg.
"The card features a 2% earn rate on all purchases that can be applied to a cardholders IRA," said John Ragnoni of Fidelity.
Other companies, like Wells Fargo, allow homeowners to apply cash back toward what is typically their biggest bill. "The Wells Gargo card rewards us with a 1% contribution toward our mortgage principal," said Clark. "The downside is you have to have a Wells Fargo mortgage."
Clark says that holds true for all these cards: you must have your investment account or loan with them in order to reap the benefits. If youre looking to manage your debt, Discovers Motiva Card rewards consumers who carry a balance but pay on time.
"every time a card member makes 6 on-time monthly payments in a row, they receive their next months interest back as a pay on time bonus," said Discover Cards Kelly Tufts.
The company has also rolled out the paydown planner, one of many web applications that calculates how long it will take to hit zero. Members can even pick a target time.
Clark warns---as with all rewards cards--- keep an eye on interest rates…which can run from single digits to 20 percent or higher. "It only takes a couple of months of carrying one of these balances or a couple months of late fees, to easily outweigh the rewards that we earn," said Clark.
As always, its important to read the fine print and ask plenty of questions before applying for one of these credit cards. That way, you can see which one works best for you.
The following credit cards were featured in this report:
Schwab Bank Invest First™ Visa signature credit card
The schwab bank invest first™ visa signature credit card automatically deposits 2% of purchases into a schwab one® brokerage account each month.
Fidelity Retirement Rewards card
The fidelity retirement rewards card offers a 2% earn rate on retail purchases when card members redeem their cash rewards as a current year contribution into their fidelity ira.
Wells Fargo Home Rebate Card
The wells fargo home rebate card offers a 1% rebate on your net purchases towards the principal balance of your eligible wells fargo mortgage loan.
Discover Motiva Card
With the discover motiva card, each time you make 6 on-time payments in a row, get your next months interest back as a pay-on-time bonus.

News & Analysis
Perhaps not, but it may block your sight.
There are backpacks for skiing that deploy an airbag in the event of an ...
'Invisible' bike helmet protects with air-bag shell
Julien Happich
Motion sensors and microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics enable the operation of the airbag bicycle helmet invented by Hövding, a Swedish design house.
The combination of innovative design and state-of-the-art electronics has produced market-unique safety equipment for cyclists in a novel form factor. International studies show that bicycle helmets reduce injuries by at least 60 percent. Four in 10 people who die in cycling accidents would have survived had they been wearing a helmet. Despite these alarming statistics, the vast majority of cyclists do not wear helmets for different reasons: they find them bulky, impractical to carry around, or unflattering to wear.
The Hövding gear addresses both the safety and practical aspects of bicycle helmets. Unlike traditional skull shells, the 'invisible'helmet is a collar worn around the neck with an airbag folded inside. In an accident, ST's motion sensors pick up the abnormal movements of a cyclist and send a signal to the airbag, which inflates in a tenth of a second to form a hood that surrounds and protects nearly all of the cyclist's head and neck, while leaving the field of vision open.
In an emergency the air bag inflates and protects
The integrated sensors in the collar detect both linear and angular motion in all three dimensions and recognize complex movements of the user with outstanding precision and speed. To determine an accident condition, the sensor system uses sophisticated algorithms defined from a database of specific movement patterns recorded during hundreds of simulated-accident and normal cycling situations. The electronics in the Hövding helmet are managed by an STM32 microcontroller that makes sure everything functions reliably and on a minimal energy budget. The Hövding helmets conform to EU safety regulations and are CE-marked.

ST to drive into the automotive MEMS market
It is a very interesting technology. What's the weight of the product? Biker always has concerns over weight. ;)
Nice technology and an innovative idea...but practically thinking, it doesn't impress me much and I feel this is too much for a helmet. It requires battery as well, correct? or does it use some kind of energy harvesting technology?
Robotics Developer
I am wondering if it will really protect a motorcyclist in the event of an accident. Given that we are talking about moving objects (person/bike) hitting the ground or pavement, I must ask: Can the inflated helmet survive the typical abrasive impacts and still protect the head? I would be concerned that it would pop and deflate leaving the head completely unprotected. This would only give a false sense of safety and may hinder real helmets from being worn. I do think it is a neat idea but I would have a lot of questions about effectiveness.
For me the bigger concern is the explosive nature of the air-bag collar.
I understand that pilots that have used an injector seat are often not fit for service thereafter and there are anecdotal accounts of automobile passengers with facial brusing and even broken noses after the car's air-bag has inflated.
So how would bicyclist feel about wearing a necklace of explosives? And would their hearing be as good after coming off their bicycle and having the air bag inflate suddenly?
Well, you know, Peter, some people suffer for their fashion ;)
It hurts to be beautiful and all that....
Also, motorcyclists like to live on the edge, so having a neckbrace filled with explosives can only add to their adrenaline craving lifestyle ;)
"injector seat" reminds me of a certain segway-mocking episode of south park.
Having spent many years as a bicycle racer, I guess the thing that I notice is that probably my 2 most memorable crashes were sort of face-first into the ground. A rigid helmet at least provides some cushion to your forehead - this looks like a face-first impact would just push the hood back.
But maybe that's not fair, I guess this is really meant as a helmet for people that won't wear helments (but for some reason don't mind a gigantic collar).
Kevin N
Pinhead, I agree. My impacts (and probably most) were forehead-against-pavement collisions from going over the handlebars. This helmet looks completely ineffective for that case--it's going to peel back and let your forehead crash.
Peter, I think you hit the nail on the head. An automotive airbag only goes off on definitive (destructive) impact, as the immediate impact region on the vehicle is expendable. Can't do that with this helmet, obviously. I would have a hard time trusting some form of intelligent inference triggering that has to interpret the rider's head or other movement to decide when to deploy. And then, even if it can, if it fires a bit late and the rider's head is already nearly touching the ground, the sudden jerk of the bag popping in between the head and ground could cause far more harm than the actual impact.
Frank Mlinar
I bicycle, and I wear a helmet as all times. I like the helmet. I don't think I would go with the collar. I expect it to impede airflow around the neck/shoulder area. My helmet has ultiple vents. I suspect this is a solution looking for a problem that is already solved. I have crashed from time to time, and the helmet works very nicely. The helmet is much more visible to others and exudes increased professionalism. ...and the collar looks silly.
The prospect of what might happen because of a design glitch (false triggering or failure to trigger) is frightening.
I think I'll stick with my passive helmet and leave the field testing to more devil-may-care souls.
Yeah, mixed feelings about the product.
I bike a lot and never wear a helmet because I want to listen to my MP3 player, but I know this is a safety risk, one this product could address.
On the other hand, I think Peter is right about broken noses and etc. I had a very minor tumble off a scooter over the weekend--not even a scratch--but probably would have set off an airbag that could have caused minor injuries.
LA King
I listen to MP3 every day I bike to work and I DO wear a helmet, After I´ve been hit by a car once, it´s just a matter of common sense to me. Accidents do happen and you are rarely in control of how you fall.
This product is for vain people who think they look ridicolous in a helmet. It´s all explained if you follow the supplied link. The airbag is made of rip-proof nylon and doesn´t rely on explosives as some people assumed.
With modern MCUs neither the reaction time or the battery time would be an issue, its probably only active when attached. Neat device which probably gives a softer impact in many cases, but for me it´s polysterene all the way. :-)
Tsk tsk. Shame on you on two fronts. Earphones and no helmets. But alas, we live in a free country. My buddy rides wheelies on his motorcycle on the freeway and occasionally hits more than 140mpg on his morning commute. To each his own!
It looks nice! But what if the battery just runs out when where is accident? Unlike airbag in car that has explosive stuff, I don't think electronics stuff can really help in the last minute!
What happend with model's hair? I have a feeling that after deployment of this inflatable helmet model's hair will limit the vision.
highly risky.The wearer to follow the instructions to wear it properly.Also what is the life time of this?Will it work properly with all kinds of climate conditions? Is it dust proof? Also from the picture no protection to the face.
I suspect the instructions will also need to contain advice on how to crash or fall off properly to trigger the deployment.
I've ridden a bike regularly for years as exercise and have had two incidents where my helmet was destroyed by impact with the road, likely saving me from a concussion, or worse. Once you've had even a single experience like that, the absurdity of the fashion arguement becomes painfully clear.
This is intended for a *bicycle* not a *motorcycle*. Also the comparison to an ejection seat is spurious -- those things are designed to propel several hundred pounds of pilot and seat far away from the airplane in a very short time. Totally different order of magnitude.
Dr DSP
Maybe the airbag could be integrated with the dress. On the detection of a potential crash event the entire dress inflates, protecting all parts of the rider. Might be good to use in a mosh-pit at a rock concert too...
There ya go! I just see too many practical jokers remotely setting off the dress air bag.
I would be concerned about how this thing transmits forces into the wearer during an accident. I would not only want to check the roll-back in a frontal accident, but also the torque applied to the head and neck when it slides or catches on pavement and obstructions. If it's just a collar as it appears, and grabs the user's head as it also appears, then that could be a big problem. I wonder what kind of CE approval they got exactly?
Duane Benson
As a "fashion statement", I would think that a bike helmet would be much less obtrusive than a think neck brace thing. I don't think people generally ride in dresses with a lot of flowing material to hide such as things as this either. Bike gear tends to be lightweight, thin and very flexible. This looks to be pretty much the opposite.
I think a lot of people commenting above didn't take the time to visit the many videos of crash test that the site of the manufacturer proposes. The thing is incredibly fast and efficient, including on face-first hit. While I agree with some comments (like the long hair effect, the air-cooling on neck, and some others), it seems quite childish to think that the battery will not have been taken care of by the owner just like everyone's mobile phone one. And any hit that would break your neck with the helmet would do without it too.
There are backpacks for skiing that deploy an airbag in the event of an avalanche to "float" the skier to the surface of the snow. As power requirements and circuits shrink, the creative safety options are expanding into other sports.

Pizzas, Soups From The Mexican Chef
Chicago-based Frontera Foods introduces Gourmet Mexican pizzas, natural gourmet thin and crispy pizzas in the freezer case in three varieties: Roasted Tomato, Four Cheese & Cilantro with Mexican herbs; Roasted Vegetable, Monterey Jack & Poblano with red and yellow peppers; and Chicken Chipotle & Red Onion with smoked gouda.
Rick Bayless is founder of Frontera Foods and award-winning chef of Chicago's Frontera Grill and Topolobampo restaurants, as well as host of the public television cooking series Mexico One Plate at a Time. He and his team spent many hours creating just the right crust: an all-natural artisan crust made from the finest ingredients with just a touch of honey and olive oil. This tender dough is gently hand-stretched before it goes into an old-world brick oven to achieve the perfect crispness and bite.
Mexican herbs and just a touch of chili pepper give the pizza sauces sparkle. The cheese blends and generous toppings are inspired from Chef Bayless' travels in Mexico, where pizza is eaten regularly topped with salsa, jalapenos and other peppers. Mexican pizzas are made with natural ingredients and are free of preservatives, trans fats, colorings and artificial ingredients.
Frontera Foods also introduces five Mexican soups. Hand-crafted with fresh, natural ingredients and free of preservatives, trans fats, colorings and artificial ingredients, each bottle is ready to heat and serve. Varieties include: Roasted Tomato Soup with garlic and smoked paprika; Roasted Vegetable Soup with corn, poblanos and Mexican herbs; Black Bean Tomato Soup with chipotle and garlic; Classic Tortilla Soup with roasted tomatoes and red peppers; and New Mexico Three Bean Chili with roasted tomatoes and corn.
Available nationwide at Whole Foods stores, major supermarkets and other natural and specialty foods stores, suggested retail price is $6.49 for a 13-oz. pizza and $3.99 for a 16-oz. jar of soup.

The B team refers to the "other team", I.E. the team we are not on...... gays. A member of said team would therefore be referred to as a "B teamer", rhyming with "steamer", which has its own definition here. "Jack went to Bangkok and didn't get laid, I think he's on the B team.""You're right, he must be a B teamer"
1. | B Team | ||
Derived from high school varsity and junior varsity sports, where the "B Team" is made up of the stragglers and uncoordinated losers. Used in a situation in which someone drops, breaks, messes up, stutters during an insult, or just acts a fool. "Dude, that was B Team on your part."
2. | B Team | ||
When someone is dating you as well as someone else but they like the other person better. You're the second choice, the backup plan. You're on the B Team. "He likes that blonde better. I'm on the B Team."

text: Struggling Double-Crop Beans May Transition to Forage Unique weather conditions have caused double-crop soybeans to struggle, but they could have value as forage. Published on: Sep 11, 2012 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Some double-crop soybeans will struggle to reach maturity before the first killing freeze, meaning the plants could provide another forage option for livestock producers struggling to feed their herds. An early wheat harvest and dry spring weather allowed growers to plant double-crop soybeans, but record-setting heat and drought kept the crop from germinating in a timely manner, or at all. Fields that germinated late aren't likely to reach maturity and could potentially supplement the state's decimated livestock feed resources. "Soybeans that won't reach physiological maturity before a killing freeze do have value as forage at the proper stage of maturity," said Keith Johnson, Purdue Extension forage specialist. "The crop should be harvested as a forage before green leaves begin to yellow."Unique weather conditions have caused double-crop soybeans to struggle, but they could have value as forage. Johnson recommended harvesting the crop and ensiling it, rather than harvesting it as hay. Doing so reduces the loss of leaves, which are the highest feed-quality part of the plant. It also lessens the likelihood of rain damage because the crop can be harvested as silage more quickly after cutting it as compared to making the soybean plant as hay. Ensiling the soybeans also helps animals utilize all parts of the plant and lessens feed waste. "If chopped and ensiled, livestock will be less likely to sort out the lower quality stem, as compared to when soybeans are made and fed as long-stemmed hay," Johnson said. Grazing soybean fields also can be an option, but it is more management-intensive and comes with risks. "In my opinion, grazing soybean forage is risky because it is difficult to control selective grazing of immature grain," Johnson said. "Founder and off-feed problems could result if over-consumption of the seed occurs." Growers and livestock producers also need to be aware of any pesticides that were applied to their crops, including miticides used more heavily this year to combat spider mite infestation. Pesticides have different harvest restrictions and some are not registered for use when soybeans are harvested as a forage crop. Double-crop soybean growers who don't produce livestock still might have opportunities to sell the ailing crop to local livestock producers. Pricing is driven by current alfalfa prices and the soybean crop's forage quality, and will depend on who provides the labor and equipment to harvest the crop. "If the livestock producer is harvesting the crop, the soybean grower would need to subtract out the harvest custom rates from the value of the forage," Johnson said. Growers in much of the southern part of Indiana are eligible to carry crop insurance on their double-crop soybeans. Those who do will need to check with their insurance agents to get clearance before cutting the crop for forage. The challenge, Johnson said, will be to know when the first killing freeze will happen. "We don't know when that killing freeze will occur until maybe three days beforehand, so it's important for growers to alert their crop insurance agents early if they are considering this option," he said.

Well, we are approaching Monaco, round about the time drivers contracts and sponsors come under talk. What could 2010 hold for us?
We have had the constant rumour of Alonso to Ferrari even though both Scruderia drivers do have a contract. I believe Heikkis contract ends this year, as does Alonso's, Nico's and Barachellos.
My thought is, could we see Alonso, and possibly Santander to Brawn? We know Alonso, or Brawn tried to secure a contract previously, but now Brawn are winning will Alonso reconsider his offer? It is likley that Santander are wanting to go where he goes, and we do know Brawn are looking for title sponsorship. I think its very possible. On both terms, driver and sponsor the team will be looking for a long-term contract and I reckon Alonso would have to think twice before refusing !

Sail-World.com : The 2012 A-Class Worlds - The largest A-Cat regatta ever
The 2012 A-Class Worlds - The largest A-Cat regatta ever
'A-Cats at the Islander - 2012 Ronstan A-Class Catamaran World Championship' William Clark
Click Here to view large photo
For years A-Class Catamaran World Championship regattas have been capped events. Yet as the fleet has grown from hosting championship events of around 75 competitors in the late 1990s to now pushing triple digits, regatta organizers have found in it necessary to cap events at 100, and if potential competitors did not submit their registration forms well in advance their options were either to hope for the best from the wait list or try again next year. Things are different this time around as the first truly open World Championship in A-Class history kicks off Monday, October 22nd with Race One of 2012 Ronstan A-Class Catamaran World Championships.
Last year in Aarhus, Denmark regatta organizers capped the 2011 Worlds at 100, though a few no-shows brought numbers down to 96 boats on the line. The 2012 Worlds currently boasts an entry list of 115, with as many as 118 boats expected on the line, a challenge for Principal Race Officer Billy Richnow. Thankfully there is no shortage of sea room south of the Florida Keys, and while Islamorada's Islander Resort, the event headquarters, is booked to capacity conditions look perfect for the largest A-Cat event ever.
Yet the massive numbers aren't expected to have an impact on the quality of racing, with things looking very crowded at the top thanks to entries from a bevy of high quality competitors. Current World Champion Steve Brewin is expected to be pressed from all sides with Australia's Jack Benson, Andrew Landenberger and Brad Collet all fresh of top five finishes in 2011 and raring for another shot. Meanwhile United States based Australian ex-patriot Ben Moon, New Zealand's Mike Drummond, and Germany's Bob Baier are all coming off top ten finishes, and current European Champion Chris Fields of Great Britain finished just outside the top ten with an 11th in Aarhus.
However the 2012 Worlds aren't expected to just be a repeat of 2011 on a larger scale. Americans Lars Guck and Matt Struble are checking in on the world scene for the first time since 2008. Both Guck and Struble sailed the 2011 event in chartered boats, but have not competed on an international stage in boats of their own since the last time the Worlds came to Islamorada in 2007, when Guck finished second by two points to Glen Ashby. And as if that weren't interesting enough now Artemis Racing's Nathan Outteridge has thrown his hat into the ring.
Fresh off a gold medal in the 49er at the London Olympics Outteridge is now ready to try his hand at the A-Cat, though it should be noted that while still relatively new to the Class, Outteridge did finish second at the 2012 Australian Nationals, and will be facing off again with fellow 49er Olympian Blair Tuke of New Zealand, who finished second to Outteridge in London.
While racing runs from October 22nd-26th with the 27th reserved as a weather date, headlines will start on the 20th on day one of measurement and registration. After all the A-Class is one of the last true development classes, with the only design restriction being minimum weight (75 kg) and maximum length (5.49 meters), beam (2.3 meters), and sail area (13.94 square meters). Seemingly every other year a new development takes the international fleet by storm.
At the 1999 Worlds in McCrae, Australia Germany's Nils Bunkenburg set the world on fire by taking home first place with his wave piercing bows. In 2011 Brewin won the worlds with curved dagger boards, a concept first worked out by Baier a few years before. Now Landenberger and Oliver Moore of the United States both have t-foils on their rudders, an idea first attempted by Steve Clark at the 2002 Worlds in Martha's Vineyard. Regatta organizers estimate that there may be as many as 15 different designs on the line, though they won't know for sure until measurement concludes on Sunday.

How do I add a pdf file to my site?
Sometimes I received attached PDF files in my email and I don't know how to then add them on to my site.
Thanks everyone,
Hi Trish,
You can just use the built-in file uploader. It will automatically provide link(s) to your PDF files when using pages or forum post.
Hope this helps.
Thanks Ron,
I want to add the pdf file that was sent to me in my blog - I downloaded the pdf file to my desk top but how do I get it onto the blog?? I don't see an uploader?
Hi Trish,
As Benny said below, it's that clip icon button that you see on top of the text area (editor) when your typing in your blog content.
You could add a page and list those PDF from there. In the editor you can find an icon of a paper clip, that is the one that uploads files.
Thanks Benny,
What do you mean by "in the editor" - where is the editor on the blog page?
I have downloaded the pdf to my desk top but still don't have a clue what to do next?
Get a free account at ScreenCast use there free uplader then use the link code they give you and put it
in your Blog discussion etc. the same way you foreward YouTude links in your emails.
Amazon has an online storage service called Amazon 3S unfortunately being Amazon they don't use everyday English explaining what you need to do...
Have fun
Hi Trish,
I suppose you own a Ning community?
You know how to write a Ning blog? If you do that, a box is appearing where you write in. This is the editor. On top of the editor there is a little menu that lets you format your text (font size and so on). And right on top of this menu should be a little remark saying "Add" (not sure if exactly this because mine is in German), followed by five little icons. The last one is a paper clip. Clicking there opens an upload file dialog and lets you upload the file to Ning.
By the way: if you answer my message there is the same function, but this time with a link beyond the editor saying "Upload Files". That is in principal the same.
In case you don't know, tell me then I'll get you through this also...
Aaaaaaaah, thank youuu Benny for the enlightenment,
Much of the computer jargon I am not use to - now I know what "editor" is - and I did see the paper clip and it worked!!!! now what i just found happened is that I opened a blog which listed a pdf - I opened the pdf and wanted to add it to my web site, but I did not know how?? any thoughts?
What do you mean with "listed a pdf"?
You cannot integrate a pdf so that the text will be seen on the screen. Your users will have to download the file. Actually, pdf was developed to prevent this. Nevertheless it is possible to extract the text, but then you will loose the formatting.
Is that your problem?
I have used the paperclip to upload some files in a Blog and it worked great creating a link. Now when I go back to that Blog to edit it, the paperclip is grayed out so I cannot upload any more files. Can you or anyone else help with this?
Thanks a bunch,
I have used the clip button and it works great - what I also realized on some of the pdf files that I wanted to download, is that some are not permitted- and that is also where I ran into trouble.
Phew! get the hang of it all now.
Got two more question -
How does a member add a badge from my site to their web site?
How do I find out how many people are viewing my site each day?
