The American Feed Industry Association is saddened to report that Oakley M. Ray, former AFIA president from 1972-92, passed away Feb. 21, 2014. Ray was born May 5, 1927 to Oakley and Clotilda Siewers Ray, a young farm couple, both natives of Harrison Township (near Vincennes, Ind.).
Oakley was a devoted husband to Yotice (Sally) Ray; they were married for 63 years. He was a father of two, Sue (Ray) Shepard and Mike Ray (Lu Anne Ray) and grandfather of five, Stephen Ray, Michael Dean Shepard, Katherine Ray, Mallory Shepard and Ashley Shepard.
Oakley graduated from the Monroe City High School in 1944 with an enviable record in both books and basketball. He attained fame as a member of the...[Read More]
The U.S. Department of Agriculture increased its estimate of U.S. agricultural exports to $142.6 billion for fiscal 2014, up $5.6 billion from November's estimate and $1.5 billion higher than the previous record level in fiscal year 2013.
In his annual address Feb. 20 at USDA's annual Agricultural Outlook Forum being held in Arlington, Va., USDA Chief Economist Joseph Glauber noted that the forecast varied by product.
"The forecast for grain and feed exports is boosted $3.2 billion from November to $31.3 billion on greater volumes of wheat, corn and feeds and fodders," he said.
"Oilseed and product exports are forecast at $31.4 billion, up $2.5 billion, driven by record soybean and...[Read More]

The American Feed Industry Association is pleased with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Food and Drug Administration's new agreement that designates USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) as the authority to certify animal feed and pet food products for export to foreign countries.
"The agreement is a result of AFIA's efforts to inform USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service about several issues that industry has had exporting to various markets, such as Brazil's requirement for Good Manufacturing Practice certifications and products under the implementation of China's AQSIQ Decree 118," said Gina Tumbarello, AFIA manager of international trade. "The need to find a feed...[Read More]
Feb. 18--The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Thursday released its annual long-term projections for the agriculture industry, with the forecast going out to 2023.
Below are some bullet points from the 93-page report:
High commodity prices led to record values of U.S. agricultural exports and U.S. net farm income in 2013. Projected reductions in prices for most major crops over the next several years will result in declines in export values and farm cash receipts through 2016. While net farm income is projected to stay below the 2013 record, it remains well above the average of the previous decade (2001-10).
Strengthening global food demand, a weak dollar, and continued biofuel demand,...[Read More]
Feb. 15--Net farm incomes are in for a 27 percent drop this year, according to federal economists, though Montana agriculture groups say they may miss the worst of it.
The forecast, released this week by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service, puts net farm income at its lowest point since 2010 and credits much of the drop to falling prices for corn, a crop that isn't widely grown in Montana.
Still, state farmers are bracing for lower prices after four straight years of record growth.
"Most farmers right now are thinking prices are going to continue to fall, but there's still some optimism," said Lola Raska, Montana Grain Growers executive vice president.... [Read More]
"Although many of us are entertained through the television programming that we choose, we must realize as consumers that what is portrayed by actors is just that, acting. Chipotle's latest advertising campaign, 'Farmed and Dangerous,' generates fictitious information about animal agriculture, specifically the animal feed industry. Providing consumers with erroneous information about the food system prevents them from making adequate choices about the food available to them and their families. And the ability to make educated choices about the foods we consume is something AFIA members take great pride in helping consumers with.

Icon Vero-451 Satchel with Wooden Handle & Strap Almond Branch Leather Women's Handbag
Features include:
Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) - Vincent van Gogh was born in Groot-Zundest, Holland in 1853. He was determined to give happiness by creating beauty. During his brief career he sold one painting. Van Gogh's finest works were produced in less than three years in a technique that grew more and more impassioned in brushstroke, in symbolic and intense color, in surface tension, and in the movement and vibration of form and line. Van Gogh's inimitable fusion of form and content is powerful; dramatic, lyrically rhythmic, imaginative, and emotional, for the artist was completely absorbed in the effort to explain either his struggle against madness or his comprehension of the spiritual essence of man and nature.

Theresa May 'Shocked' By Diabetes Diagnosis
Theresa May has spoken of her shock after being diagnosed with a chronic illness, but insists it will not affect her political career.
The Home Secretary was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes two months ago and must now inject herself with insulin at least twice a day for the rest of her life, the Mail On Sunday revealed.
Commentators had seized on Mrs May's dramatic weight loss over the past 18 months as proof that she was undergoing a style makeover in preparation for a future leadership bid.
But the Conservative Cabinet minister told the newspaper that dropping two stones was partly down to the illness.
"The diabetes doesn't affect how I do the job or what I do. It's just part of life ... so it's a case of head down and getting on with it," Mrs May told the Mail On Sunday.
"It was a real shock and, yes, it took me a while to come to terms with it."
Speaking about the timing of the announcement, Sky's chief political correspondent Jon Craig said: "I suspect she wanted to get the Abu Qatada deportation out of the way and wanted nothing to distract from that."
There are around 300,000 people in the UK with Type 1 diabetes. Despite decades of research, no vaccine has been found to prevent the disease.
Pressed on whether the illness would prevent her from one day succeeding David Cameron, she told the newspaper: "There is no leadership bid.
"We have a first-class Prime Minister and long may he continue."
Doctors told Mrs May she had the condition, which means her body does not produce insulin, in November but initially they thought she had Type 2 diabetes.
"It doesn't and will not affect my ability to do my work. I'm a little more careful about what I eat and there's obviously the injections, but this is something millions of people have," she said.

Publication Date : 17-10-2012
SoftBank Corp.'s planned purchase of Sprint Nextel Corp., the third-largest wireless carrier in the United States, is aimed at ensuring SoftBank's growth through overseas expansion as the domestic market nears saturation, according to sources.
However, concern is rising in the securities market over SoftBank, the nation's third-largest mobile operator, taking on large debt for the purchase. SoftBank is moving to assure the market of the company's ability to produce synergies by working with Sprint, they have noted.
The domestic mobile market is near saturation, as shown by the number of mobile phone subscribers as of the end of March this year surpassing the population.
SoftBank entered the mobile communications market in April 2006 when it purchased the Japanese arm of British telecom firm Vodafone at a huge cost of about 1.75 trillion yen. At the time, SoftBank said the firm was determined to "surpass NTT Docomo within 10 years."
A SoftBank goal calls for the company to hit 1 trillion yen in the group's consolidated operating profits in fiscal 2016. Expanding abroad is thought to be the quickest way to do that, according to the sources, who declined to be named publicly.
Bigger potential in US
Subscriptions to mobile phone services in the United States number about 350 million, about 2.5 times the number in Japan. But US communication speeds are about half of Japan's, meaning the US market has high growth potential, the sources noted.
In a press conference Monday, SoftBank founder and Chief Executive Officer Masayoshi Son referred to Sprint's sitting third among US carriers, saying, "When we purchased Vodafone, the company was in third place in the mobile market in this country, a situation similar to Sprint." Son indicated SoftBank was confident that entering the United States will allow the company to use its business know-how accumulated since the Vodafone purchase.
Anxieties over large debts
Set to jointly extend loans for SoftBank's purchase of Sprint are four banks: Mizuho Corporate Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp., Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ and Deutsche Bank. The four have informed SoftBank of their approval of about 1.6 trillion yen in joint financing.
The four banks said they are considering inviting other financial institutions to lend to SoftBank after completion of its purchase of Sprint.
The banks apparently give high marks to SoftBank's success in steadily expanding its business since 2006 and its potential for future growth overseas.
Some in the securities market, however, say they are concerned that SoftBank, having managed to reduce debts related to the Vodafone purchase, is set to again embark on mammoth investment in an overseas telecom firm.
SoftBank shares closed at 2,268 yen Monday, down about 20 per cent compared to Thursday, just before the plan was made public.
Moody's rating agency announced Monday it was reviewing SoftBank's rating for a possible downgrade.
SoftBank a 'white knight'
The purchase by SoftBank of Sprint has been deemed by some in the United States as a bailout of Sprint, which has been in financial distress.
Sprint booked deficits for the fifth consecutive year and, although it is ranked third among US mobile operators, it is far behind the top two, AT&T and Verizon Wireless, in terms of subscription contracts. Sprint is also lagging behind rapidly changing technology, such as moves to next-generation high-speed networks, including Long-Term Evolution (LTE).
Sprint Chief Executive Officer Dan Hesse, who attended Monday's news conference, noted his firm's subscribers, which he said had been declining from around 2008, turned upward, hitting a record high this year, with profits showing signs of recovery from the beginning of 2012.
Thanks to SoftBank's investment, Sprint will be able to increase its capital investment to upgrade its networks, Hesse said.
Chief Executive Research Director Hideaki Yokota of MM Research Institute said, "As telecommunications industries have now entered an age of competition across national borders, SoftBank, through the planned purchase of Sprint, will be able to secure a stronghold in global competition ahead of other Japanese mobile carriers.
The timing of the purchase is also good in light of the yen's appreciation," he said.
Since SoftBank played a key role domestically in expediting the rapid spread of high-speed communications networks, the company also will push ahead with LTE projects in the United States, Yokota said.
Given that SoftBank has to raise a huge amount of cash to fund the purchase of Sprint, the company, at least for the time being, will find it hard to compete in further domestic price wars, he said.
'Plans envisioned 2 years ago'
Son, in an exclusive interview with The Yomiuri Shimbun Monday, revealed he had been considering buying an overseas telecom firm for the last two years.
He also noted his ambition to overtake NTT Docomo in two to three years in terms of accessibility and communication speed.
Since the Vodafone purchase two years ago, SoftBank has repaid most of the purchase debt and surpassed KDDI, Japan's second largest wireless carrier, in profitability, Son said.
Judging the time has come to expand abroad, he began studying the feasibility of such a purchase, Son said.
"I thought it risky for our company to remain only in the domestic market in light of the fast-dwindling population and increasingly unstable government finances," he stressed.
"I don't rule out the possibility of our company purchasing overseas telecom firms in addition to Sprint, as we are aspiring to be the world's No. 1 in telecommunication services," he said.
"When I said we were resolved to overtake NTT Docomo, I think very few took it seriously, but I meant it," Son said, adding, "We are determined to outpace NTT Docomo not only in terms of subscribers but also comprehensively, in terms of accessibility and communication speeds."

Fourth wireless carrier could result in $1 billion savings: Competition Bureau
Greater competition in the tightly-controlled mobile wireless market could result in savings of about $1 billion a year for consumers and the wider economy, says the Competition Bureau.

OTTAWA—Greater competition in the tightly-controlled mobile wireless market could result in savings of about $1 billion a year for consumers and the wider economy, says the Competition Bureau.
The competition watchdog made the claim in a submission Thursday to the federal regulator, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, which is reviewing whether to increase regulation in the wholesale sector and has public hearings scheduled for September.
The regulations would effect what the large wireless companies — Rogers, Bell and Telus — can charge small players for the use of towers and roaming fees.
In the submission released Thursday, the Competition Bureau said one study into the issue suggests Canadians could benefit from greater competition and that large established wireless operators are realizing above-normal returns on investments because of their market dominance.
The bureau says the three largest wireless companies, which together have about 90 per cent of Canada's cellphone market, have the power to maintain prices above competitive levels for a significant period of time.
"The bureau estimates that increased retail competition from an additional nationwide mobile wireless carrier could result in gains of approximately $1 billion per year to the Canadian economy in the form of better product choices, price reductions and other benefits to customers," it said.
The $1 billion figure comes from a previously-commissioned report from the Brattle Group, which estimated a fourth national carrier would expand mobile wireless usage in Canada and drive down incumbents' average retail prices by about two per cent.
But Rogers' senior vice-president of regulatory affairs, Ken Engelhart, dismissed the submission as "misguided" and "speculative," since the report deals with potential savings from added competition.
He noted that the federal government is about to pass legislation as part of the omnibus budget bill that would place a cap on the roaming charges the large incumbents can demand from small players and new entrants.
Engelhart said the industry is already well regulated and needs no more.
"The budget bill caps domestic roaming charges at no higher than the average retail rate, everyone seems to be ignoring that," he said. "That is an incredibly intrusive regulatory control and why anyone would think more is needed is beyond me."
The federal government has aggressively pursued the establishment of a fourth national carrier to increase competition in the sector, including special arrangements for newcomers at spectrum auctions, but as yet to no avail.
One recent report, from the Montreal Economic Institute, argues that Ottawa's policies have actually been wasteful in selling highly-prized spectrum, the pipeline for carriers, to inefficient and cash-strapped new entrants who can't deliver expanded services to customers.
But the Brattle Group report suggests a fourth carrier would be feasible and result in lower prices, which according to the OECD are on average among the highest in the world.
Telecom consultant Eamon Hoey says the problem with the government approach is not that it has insufficient regulations, but that it has been lax in enforcing them.
Hoey says the large players frustrate new entrants with barriers that are difficult for regulators to enforce.
"The problem is not the policy, the problem is in how you administer the policy," he said. "Whether you have three, four, 10 carriers, if the game is fixed as it has been since 1985, it won't make a difference."
The Competition Bureau is recommending that the CRTC establish additional regulatory measures "if and when they are needed to ensure that new entrants have access to the wholesale services they need to compete effectively."

|Final - 12.22.2013
|Tennessee Titans
|Jacksonville Jaguars
An inability to stop the run proved costly for the Jaguars, who lost their final home game of the season to the Titans in Week 16.
Join the BCC community to discuss the second half of a Week 16 game between the Jaguars and Titans at EverBank Field.
Who is in, who is out?
Maurice Jones-Drew was expected to be a game time decision for the Jacksonville Jaguars today, but it appears he will be ready to go.
The Jacksonville Jaguars close out their home schedule Sunday against the division rival Tennessee Titans.
The Titans travel to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars for the second time this year. Will it be a happy trip back to Nashville for the reeling Titans?
Why the Titans should be more afraid of the Jaguars if MJD isn't playing.
The Titans have nothing to lose, but they do have something to gain by starting Wilson and other young players.
The Tennessee Titans need to decide whether or not Stewart will be on the roster in 2014, and right now it doesn't look good for the former Bulldog.

Even though I could never pull off 90% of the things that Alexa Chung wears, I still love her sense of style and how interesting she always looks. So when I heard that she was collaborating with nails, inc. on a small collection of new shades, I was super excited. I knew they'd be unique and different and I was right.
There are six shades in the fabric collection and honestly, they're all must-haves. I'm a big fan of the nails, inc. formula to begin with, so this only made me love the brand even more. I've only gotten my hands on two of the shades so far and I can already tell that I'm going to be stalking Sephora until I have the other four shades in my possession.
The shade above is called Alexa Sequins in Black and Gold and it's by far my favorite shade of the six. I mean, look at it! It's so gorgeous, right? It's fine matte particles mixed with gold metallic glitters and it's meant to mimic the effect of a fabulous sequin dress. (Side note - I love sequins. My prom dress was emerald sequins and I still remember putting it on for the first time and thinking, "This is the best dress ever! I'm never taking it off!" What can I say - it was the 90's). There's also two shades of black - a Silk that reminds me of my beloved Chanel Black Satin, and a Leather, which is Alexa's version of their best-selling leather black - it dries with a matte leather texture that I'm dying to see in person. There's also a shade called Alexa Camo - I have this one and it's another stunner - a mix of green and nude metallic and matte particles that's meant to create a camouflage effect for your nails. Very cool. There's also a neutral pinky-beige called Alexa Cashmere in Mink and the other one that I cannot wait to use - Alexa Lace in Red. This one is super, super interesting. It contains red matte particles in different sizes that create a lace effect. It's supposed to be worn over your favorite nude, which I really like - doesn't that sound like an amazing combo? They must all be mine!
The collection is available now at Sephora and on nailsinc.com, but I'd act quickly. These seem far too cool to last long!
Note: Samples of this product were sent to me by a PR representative working with nails, inc.
My Ipsy bag came this past month and while honestly I feel like more months have been disappointing than exciting (yet I still keep subscribing because I'm just optimistic, or dumb?) this month had a pretty decent sized sample of the new Perversion mascara by Urban Decay (yay!) The mascara is absolutely amazing and I'll definitely be running out to get a full-sized tube when the baby tube runs out. It goes on smooth, no flaking, no clumping and it really volumizes like crazy. Just two coats and my lashes look almost fake (woo hoo). If you buy from UD or Sephora it looks like you get a free baby tube of the primer Subversion. Curious to check that out and see if it makes a difference with this already-awesome mascara. Well worth the twenty-two bucks you'll need to shell out to call Perversion your own.
Ooh, I am super excited about this Love That Flush set! I'm a big fan of the Josie Maran Lip and Cheek Creamy Oils, so this one is right up my alley. For only $28, you get four different shades of her Argan Oil lip and cheek tints (Timeless Coral, Everlasting Honey, Non-Stop Watermelon and Enduring Raspberry). They're the perfect size to travel with or toss in your bag in the morning for midday touchups, and the entire set is only $28. (So it's a budget friendly way to test out if you like the formula before you commit to a full-sized one). The only catch is that the set is only available online and is currently out of stock at Sephora, which is very annoying. (They're too popular! Everyone wants them!) But they do have that convenient "Email When In Stock" option, so at least you'll be able to find out when you can get them the second they're back in stock. Thank God for modern technology!
I was just browsing the new arrivals on Sephora's website (AS YOU DO!) and stumbled on this little gem from Givenchy. The Palette Extravaganza Lip & Eye has four different shimmery eye shadows and a classic red lipstick in a gorgeous gold embossed compact. It's so elegant and pretty - if I was the kind of person who touched up my makeup at the dinner table, I would totally do it with this compact. (I mean, how pretty are those shadow shades? I want them all!) The only catch is that it's $66, so I probably won't be owning this one anytime soon, but a girl can always dream...
I like the whole new Pulp Fiction Collection from Urban Decay, but I LOVE the new Revolution Lipstick in Mrs. Mia Wallace the best. I'm re-obsessed with red lipstick lately, so my quest to find the perfect one continues in full force. Not only is this one a great deep blood red, but the case is very cool AND who doesn't want to use a lipstick that lets you get even a tiny bit closer to looking like Uma Thurman? Hurry and grab yours now because it's a limited-edition and if you wait too long, there'll be no Mia in your life. Unacceptable.
I'm a HUGE fan of Tarte lipsticks and lipglosses. It seems like every time they release a new formula I love it even more than the one before. The somewhat new launch of the LipSurgence Lip Glosses is no different - they are wonderful! First of all, they are not sticky at all and give the perfect amount of color. I was stunned to discover they actually have some staying power, as well (wasn't re-applying a second time before I even left the house like so many other glosses). The applicator is slightly curved so it's amazing for applying the gloss (especially on-the-go when you have no mirror in sight). Comes in 10 gorgeous shades (some shimmery, some not, but all are super shiny which is beautiful!) They have become my go-to lip gloss and while it's torturous to try and choose a fave shade, I guess I would choose between Envy and Exposed. Definitely worth a check-out - you will not be disappointed. Retails for $19.00.
Note: A sample of this product was sent to me by a PR representative working with Tarte.
Okay, I KNOW that I was just talking about how ludicrous a $50 bottle of nail polish is on Monday and let's face it, Chanel is still a very expensive bottle of polish, but at $27, it's at least a little more justifiable. Especially when it's a color like Black Satin, that I've worn countless times and never gotten tired of. In fact, I got a manicure on Sunday and used it once again because I love it just that much. It somehow manages to be black without being goth or overwhelming or too much in any way. I kind of like to think of it as a sexy neutral, which might be a weird description, but it's just where my mind goes. It matches everything and looks good on both long and short nails, plus it's super shiny and like most Chanel polishes, wears very well. I put top coat on it every other day and it lasts a long time for me (for a dark polish) before it starts to chip. My bottle is getting dangerously low and as crazy as this sounds with as many polishes as I have, when it runs out, I'll be buying another one immediately. It's that important to my polish wardrobe. This is one splurge you'll be glad you made!
So what sayeth we all about this? Christian Louboutin has just released Rouge Louboutin, which is described as "A timeless shade of red nail colour, vibrant on any skin tone and inspired by the iconic sole of every Christian Louboutin shoe." I mean, I covet Louboutins as much as the next woman (WHEN WILL I MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO AFFORD A PAIR?!) and I'm sure the color is beautiful on, and I think we can all agree that the bottle is a work of art. But it costs $50. For a bottle of nail polish. One bottle. One single bottle. I mean, that's just... ludicrous. And yet, I still want it! (The power of marketing, people!) I can say with 99.99% certainty that unless it magically shows up on my doorstep, I will never own it because I just can't spend that much money on nail polish, but has anyone tried it? What's the formula like? Does the color make you happy every time you look at it? For $50, is it magic nail polish that instantly changed your life?! I NEED TO KNOW!
Dammit, Fresh! What're you trying to do to me? You know it's impossible for me to see a new shade of your Sugar Lip Treatment and not buy it, but I already have the Passion and Sugar shades, so do I REALLY need another red? (I mean, the answer is obviously yes, but I don't feel good about it). Ruby is described as a "shimmery rouge tint" though, so I mean, obviously I need to have it for the shimmer factor alone because the other ones aren't shimmery and let's face it, everyone needs a little shimmer in their life. (Let's ignore the fact that I have dozens of other shimmery lip colors because I'm going to pretend it's not relevant to the discussion at hand. Join me!) The thing is - it's expensive at $22.50, but I know I'll use it all the time and I love how great all the Sugar products make my lips feel. They're like a cashmere sweater for your body or Manolo's for your feet - and if you compare it to what those things cost, well, they're basically just giving them away. And who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth? It would be wrong NOT to buy it. Right? RIGHT?????
Who's ready to grab some of the goodies they've been coveting lately from Tarte? From now until August 4th, you can get 30% off your order at tarte.com by using the code FANDF at checkout. You'll even get free shipping on orders of $40 or more. (And let's face it, you're going to spend $40!) I'm dying to pick up the new Rainforest After Dark palette so this might make me finally pull the trigger. Take advantage before the offer ends!

Jailed activist Tame Iti says he is to be released from prison.
"It's a good day. They are sending me home. I can't wait to be back with my whanau," Iti tweeted this afternoon.
In January, Iti said he had a parole hearing scheduled for today. "As it is valentines day...I wonder if the parole board will show me some love."
Iti has been in Waikeria Prison, after he was sentenced last May to two-and-a-half years' jail on firearms charges.
A Parole Board spokeswoman confirmed it considered Iti for parole today.
''The Board has granted Mr Iti parole as it is satisfied that he no longer poses an undue risk to the safety of the community,'' she said.
''Mr Iti will be released on the 27 February 2013. The Board have imposed special conditions on his release, these will remain until his sentence end date.''
The full Parole Board decision will be released in a few days.

More quote details and news » also said Monday that they will stop charging customers for debit-card transactions.
Bank of America decided against the fees because of negative customer feedback on the plan and the moves by rivals, which left the Charlotte, N.C., lender as the only big bank planning to levy the fee on some customers next year.
The about-face represents a concession to customer sensitivities over fees. Banks have been adding charges in an attempt to make up for billions of dollars in revenue that is expected to vanish as a result of new restrictions on credit cards, debit cards and overdraft policies. A provision in last year's Dodd-Frank financial-overhaul law halved the amount that banks can charge merchants for accepting debit cards.
Banks, also hit hard by a soft economy, have turned to customers to make up those fees. They have been adding fees on services, charging, for instance, for many checking accounts that used to be free.
But none of those moves appears to have generated the intense response of the debit-card charge. "Consumers have clearly said this is a no-go," said Patricia Hewitt, who specializes in debit cards at Mercator Advisory Group Inc. in Maynard, Mass.
The fees have drawn criticism from President Barack Obama and from Sen. Richard Durbin (D., Ill.), who wrote the provision that reduced merchant debit-card fees. Sen. Durbin sent a letter to Wells Fargo Chief Executive Officer John Stumpf last month complaining about the bank's new charges. Consumer advocates have attacked the fees.
Some banks have been quietly rolling out the fees for months: SunTrust had been charging some customers $5 a month on debit-card purchases since June.
However, the outrage over the debit-card purchase charges exploded in late September, when Bank of America began telling employees it intended to start collecting monthly fees of $5 next year.
The fees began to lose momentum over the past two weeks, when executives of big banks like Citigroup Inc. and PNC Financial Services Group Inc. said they had no plans to impose the fees.
Last week, a person familiar with J.P. Morgan Chase told The Wall Street Journal that its Chase retail unit had decided to drop its test of debit-card fees. The bank had been testing $3 monthly fees for eight months in parts of Georgia and Wisconsin.
Wells Fargo followed suit on Friday, announcing it was canceling its test of $3 monthly debit-card fees that had started in October.
SunTrust is dropping its $5 monthly debt-card charge on Wednesday and will refund the fee to customers who have incurred it. The Atlanta lender didn't disclose how much money it has collected from the fee.
"We've listened to our clients' feedback and will provide the convenience and security of check cards at no additional charge as part of all of our checking accounts," said Brad Dinsmore, a consumer-banking executive at SunTrust.
Regions said it is eliminating the fee as of Nov. 1 and will refund fees that already have been charged.
"We have heard from our customers and are responding to their feedback by eliminating the monthly fee," said John Owen, head of consumer services for the bank.
The Birmingham, Ala., lender didn't disclose how much money it has collected from the fee.
While neither bank boasts a nationwide footprint, SunTrust and Regions rank among the 20 largest banks in the country.
SunTrust has more than $170 billion in assets and more than 1,600 branches across the Southeast. Regions has $130 billion in assets, with 1,800 branches in the South, the Midwest and Texas.

DeJuan Blair still trying to find landing spot in free agency
Jul 26, 2013, 10:42 AM EDT
It appeared as if free agent DeJuan Blair was headed for the Washington Wizards — they liked him, he liked them. Those are good signs.
But so far, no contract.
He wants a multi-year deal (or a sign-and-trade with the Spurs so he can keep his Bird rights, but that's not a likely outcome because teams aren't going to give the Spurs a sweetener just to sign Blair). Alex Kennedy of Hoopsworld summed up Blair's situation well.
If the sign-and-trade option falls through, Blair may have to take a one-year deal, play well this season and then try to secure the multi-year deal he desires next summer. The Chicago Bulls have been linked to Blair this offseason and seem like a realistic landing spot for him since they're a top-tier team that has minutes to offer. The L.A. Clippers have expressed interest in Blair, but only have a minimum deal and limited role to offer the young big man.
The Wizards are still out there.
Blair is one of those guys who is going to sign pretty much at the league minimum, but at that price he provides some value — in 61 appearances last season for the Spurs he shot 52.4 percent and had a PER of 14.6, right at the league average. He fell out of the Spurs rotation because they had better players, but Blair can play.
Somebody should grab him.

This article is bass ackwards. Clips do only have minimum to offer, but the role and minutes available is much larger then anything the Bulls have. Bulls PF depth chart is Boozer and Gibson. Good luck finding minutes there. Clips on have Griffin, with no other PF on the roster. Odom's a FA and the bigs they signed (Mullens, Hollins) are to back up Jordan.

Because he basically plays no post-defense despite weighted 270lb…what's worst is that he plays no perimeter defense either.

Buck 65 Announces New Album
- Words: Glenn Jackson
- Photo: via For Your Earholes
The avant hip-hopper Buck 65 has been honing his craft for quite a long time now, the better part of the last 20 years in fact, hence the title of his newest LP, 20 Odd Years. Buck 65's first LP since 2007 finds the rapper/producer exploring territory more similar to his 2003 album, Talkin' Honky Blues, where he began crafting songs that somehow combined the disparate worlds of hip-hop, blues, country, folk, and indie rock. The new LP includes tracks from three digital mini-albums Buck 65 had released throughout 2010 under the names 20 Odd Years: Vol. 1 - Avant, Vol. 2 - Distance, and Vol. 3 - Albuquerque, and adds four unreleased tracks to the mix. 20 Odd Years, which features a host of diverse collaborators from New York's multi-instrumentalist Emily Wells to singer/songwriter/poet Gord Downie (of The Tragically Hip), is set to be released on February 1. You can check the album artwork, tracklist, and a stream of "Sore" from Talkin' Honky Blues below.

Public, businesses can weigh in on air quality changes
SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Air Quality Board is weighing a number of changes to industry, residences and small businesses as the state tries to come up with a plan to meet federal guidelines for reducing fine particulate pollution, or PM2.5
Four of those changes — dealing with commercial cooking, creating blowing dust plans, establishing outdoor wood boiler prohibitions and implementing rules for degreasing/solvent cleaning operations — are up for public comment through Aug. 31 and separate public hearings are being held to explain the proposals and solicit input.
Those meetings, at the Department of Environmental Quality's fourth floor conference room at 195 N. 1950 West, are scheduled Aug. 15 at the following times: 9 a.m., for degreasing and solvent cleaning operations; 10 a.m. for commercial cooking; 1 p.m. for fugitive dust plans in non-attainment areas; and 2 p.m. for outdoor wood boiler prohibitions.
The rules, which have been approved by the air quality board to receive public comment but not formally adopted, are available to review online, which also provides a forum for feedback.
Four other rules are tentatively slated to go to public comment from September to October and deal with appliance pilot lights and residential fireplaces and solid fuel burning. Those rules, too, are available online.
A handful of other proposed rules not yet released for public inspection remain in the crafting stage as part of the state's efforts to adopt and implement a State Implementation Plan required by the EPA.
The board expects a draft of the plan to be reviewed by next month, and the deadline for final approval is Dec. 14.

It will have to be replaced, shop around for a replacement and you have an Infiniti, what do you expect to pay, should have gotten a Toyota.
Answer #2Dealer Diagnostics March 21, 2014, 19:56Enthusiast
if I recall correctly, you can take it apart, clean it and put it back together, the sliding part fits in a rail and it's usually because the rail that the accordion style cover rides in is gummed up and causes the cover to jam and bind.
